Chapter 5: The past is unbearable
"Cough cough..."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
The empress, who had stayed on the bed for three days and three nights without closing her eyes, was overjoyed when she saw the emperor waking up leisurely, and shouted at the servants who were waiting in the outer room
"Quick Announcement of Imperial Physician"
The imperial doctor took Fang Wenqing's pulse, and finally he let go of the hanging head, saying:
"The emperor is fine, as long as he rests well, he will be fine when the wound heals slowly."
The imperial doctor prescribed a prescription, and carefully instructed what was good for the wound and what not to eat during the recovery period, and he bowed before leaving.
Fang Wenqing said to the queen who was still serving
"The queen has worked hard these days, go back to the palace, there are servants here to serve you"
The queen is not good at disobedience, so she bowed and withdrew.The serving eunuch, Xiao Dezi, came in with the medicine carefully. Fang Wenqing looked at the dark bowl, and there was also a strong smell of medicine. He frowned and said,
"Take it away, I don't drink medicine"
Xiao Dezi persuaded, "The imperial doctor said that your injury will recover quickly after drinking the medicine. The emperor should drink it while it is hot."
As he spoke, he came to the bed with the bowl in his hand, Fang Wenqing covered his nose, pushed his hand and said
"Take it away, take it away quickly, I hate this smell the most." Xiao Dezi put down the medicine bowl again, and looked at the emperor with a smirk. This emperor who once galloped on the battlefield made the enemy fearful and killed countless enemy troops. Just such a shortcoming, fear of taking medicine, if this is known to the people of the world, they will not laugh their teeth off.
......
Fang Wenqing was lying on the couch, looking at the cloud top in the bedroom through the heavy curtains, and suddenly asked
"What happened in the dungeon"
The clever little eunuch immediately understood who the emperor was asking, and replied respectfully
"Back to the emperor, he is still alive, Mr. Xu, the champion of the new division, visited him early this morning."
Fang Wenqing snorted coldly and said
"Changing clothes for me"
......
Liu Yiran slumped against the cold wall of the dungeon, staring blankly at the dim light cast from the small black window above the cell, and there were a few bold little mice chirping and scurrying around beside his feet.
Recalling what Xu Junmo said this morning, I felt overwhelmed with emotions. Since he promised Xu Junmo would leave with him, he would take good care of himself. Thinking of Fang Wenqing again, he felt heartbroken, fearing that he would never have a chance to live Let's leave the palace.
Can't help sighing
In fact, he is the same as his dead mother
......
"Auntie, don't hit your mother anymore, please
The three-year-old baby knelt on the ground holding the leg of the vicious woman holding a whip, begging, and the woman next to her lay curled up on the ground covered in welts.
The wicked woman kicked the crying baby away and said viciously
"Little bastard, your mother broke my jade bracelet, you don't need me to beat your mother, then return my bracelet"
Regardless of the pain in her body, the woman crawled over and hugged the child who was kicked to the ground, begging
"An'er is my husband's own flesh and blood. An'er is still young, please don't vent your anger on the child. You are not afraid of me telling your husband."
The vile woman waved her hand and gave another whip. Seeing this, the woman quickly wrapped the child in her arms to protect her tightly, saying:
"Who is your husband, who is your eldest sister, even a prostitute like you deserves to enter the gate of the An family. If the master hadn't been grateful for your old relationship, he would have kicked you out a long time ago. You are a bastard, a disaster, one day The An family will be destroyed in your hands, let me tell you the truth, what I did was approved by the master, if it wasn’t for the fear of bringing death to the An family, I would have sent you to the Yamen a long time ago.”
After hearing the wicked woman's words, the woman's face paled instantly.
Seemingly tired from the beating, the wicked woman threw away the whip, eyes like snakes and scorpions, and said viciously
"It's best to pay the old lady for the jade bracelet quickly, otherwise you and your mother will suffer, hmph"
He kicked the woman heavily again before leaving in relief.
The little baby stretched out his small hand to wipe away the tears and the dust on his mother's face, and said firmly
"Mother don't cry, when An'er grows up, she can protect mother from being bullied by the aunt"
The woman hugged the child and kissed the child's face, crying
"An'er is so nice, my mother's An'er is the best child in the world"
After speaking, I couldn't hold back my tears anymore, crying and saying
"Mother is sorry for An'er and made An'er suffer."
......
"Mother, mother, let's see what An'er brought for mother."
The child ran to the woman and handed the lotus flower that had been well protected in her hand to the beautiful woman who was sewing clothes for herself.
The beautiful woman put down the needle and thread in her hand with a smile, turned her head to look at the child, froze when she saw the child's swollen little face, bent down and knelt down to hold the child's small face and asked with misty eyes
"Did your aunt hit you again, whether it hurts or not, the swelling is so high"
The child smiled and said, putting the lotus in his mother's hands, he was very discouraged.
"I secretly picked lotus flowers in my aunt's yard, but I was caught. I put the flowers in a vase so that my mother can see them every day."
The little doll carefully arranged the flowers, sat in her mother's arms, with big eyes shining, and asked curiously
"Why is my mother so beautiful, oh, I know, my mother must be a fairy in the sky"
The beautiful woman smiled and said
"When An'er grows up, he must be a handsome man"
The little doll pouts her pink mouth and says
"I don't want to be a handsome man. If I am too beautiful, I will be very popular."
......
"Mother, mother, today I learned a few new characters outside the school, I will write it for mother, mother..."
"An'er, don't come in"
Just as the beautiful woman spoke, the dilapidated wooden door was pushed open by the child.
The woman was also naked, covered with bruises, her hair was in a mess, drops of blood were hanging from the corners of her lips, and the clothes beside her were also torn to pieces.
Seeing a doll coming in, several big men took a mouthful of phlegm and cursed
"It's really a fucking disappointment for me"
Picking up the clothes on the ground and pushing away the child who was still stuck at the door with a big mouth and staring eyes, he wobbled away.
Before the little baby could react, he saw a figure passing by, and only heard a "boom", and blood slowly flowed down the wall.The child was shocked, crying and ran over to support the crumbling mother, and wiped off the blood that could not be wiped away, crying hysterically
"Mother, don't leave An'er, don't... woo..."
The beautiful woman raised her weak hand to wipe away the tears on the child's face, and smiled
"An'er, be good, An'er must remember, An'er is not some bastard, An'er is the child of father and mother."
"Promise mother that you must live well, no matter what you encounter, you must...live well, don't hate your father, don't hate...any...anyone"
The heartbroken cry echoed in the bleak and warm house, and from then on, he was only alone.
That was the first time Liu Yiran met her biological father.
The handsome face, the sad eyes, and the cowardly avoidance when seeing the vicious eyes of the aunt, even dare not look at the person he loves for the last time, let alone hold her in his arms.
Liu Yiran thought, father loved his mother, but he didn't dare to protect her, he didn't even know his own child's name
"What's your name"
"The baby's name is Anpinzhu"
He thought that after his mother died, his father left him because of his affection for his mother.He thought that his father would take care of him with the affection of his own flesh and blood.
Mother's funeral was very simple, a fire, together with the dilapidated room turned into ashes repeatedly.
That day was also the time when he was kicked out of the house. The winter was very cold that year. He clearly remembered that year, that day, the aunt pushed him out of the house like a beggar and swept him out.
"Take your mother's tablet, where are you going?"
The little child squatted at the entrance of the dilapidated temple with his mother's tablet in his arms, curled up in the harsh east wind, his belly was hungry, his hands, feet and face were black and blue with cold.
Seeing that he was young and pitiful, the kind abbot took him in and renamed him Liu Yiran with his secular surname.
The two masters and apprentices went along the street for alms, suffered humiliation, and lived a poor but happy life.
The good times didn't last long, the hometown was plagued by droughts, the farmers didn't collect grains, and most of the relief food stripped by the imperial court was swallowed by the local government.
The old abbot took him begging all the way south to Yangzhou City, and entrusted him to the abbot of Daming Temple to raise him before he died. He is smart, smart and sensible, and loves to learn, so he is very popular, so he is sent to school to study.
They eat Buddhist food and wear hundreds of clothes.
He was six years old that year.
Liu Yiran is smart, diligent and studious, and in just eight years he has become a well-known young talent in Yangzhou, and it was at that time that he met Xu Junmo.
