Yilan stopped in her tracks. She couldn't let Musen know about this. To be precise, she was afraid that Musen would find out. She turned around and said sternly,"Yes, everything she has now doesn't belong to her. When she was ten years old, she left me for the Flying Guillotine. The panic after her first mission, the fear after her first murder, every time."
"That's because she doesn't deserve it. She doesn't deserve it, so she can't bear it.”Mu Qing interrupted Yi Lan's words without hesitation and said clearly and seriously,"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't." She then said with an aggrieved expression," Mother, I'm your daughter. Why are you always biased towards her? Every time she comes home, you only have her in your eyes and heart. Are you confused? I'm the one who came out of your stomach."”After she finished speaking, she looked at Yi Lan coldly. Yi Lan's entire body trembled. She felt that her gaze was even more piercing.
Yes, time could forget everything. Even if it wasn't true, it was still true. If it wasn't for Mu Qing's bone-chilling conversation today, she would also think that she was the one who gave birth to Mu Sen. So she said desolately," Child, why are you saying all this? Aren't you still calling me Mother? You eat and wear the same as Yi Erha, maybe even better than her. All these years, I've spent more time on you than she did."”
Mu Qing said," It's a lot, but you have your own selfish motives. Because she's not usually at home, and she doesn't pay attention to her food and clothes, she uses whatever you prepare for her. The only thing she wants for you is red bean cake, but you don't give it to her. Don't tell me that she really can't eat this. Why didn't Mother give it to her and even made up such a lie? It's because you're selfish and jealous. You don't want her to have any connection with her mother. Because in your heart, you're the one who gave birth to her and raised her. Isn't it? You lost your sense of accomplishment, so you used it all on me. Because of her special status, the imperial court didn't allow her to read and write, so you taught me poetry, zither, and painting. But what's the use? In their eyes, in the eyes of Aunt Gua, Aunt Gua, and even in the eyes of your noble consort sister, who I haven't seen for many years, Gua's daughter refers to Yierha. This is an indisputable fact. She can be willful and make any request because these are all reasonable. She is the legitimate master here, but what about me? I have to pay attention to every step and always pay attention to it. I can't say a wrong word or take a wrong step. She's just a daughter that you adopted out of kindness. No matter how outstanding and talented I am, what's the use? We can't say anything about this. If we say it, we'll all die. Besides, you guys did something wrong. Why should I be punished as well? I can only endure it. Mother, forget about all this. But I like Prince Bao. He should have married me. Besides, we all know that my sister doesn't like him. Since she's unwilling and I'm willing, please fulfill our wishes. When my mother died, I don't know if it was to me or her that she said," Please give me face. If my daughter is in trouble in the future, please help her." I have always remembered that on account of her giving birth to a daughter for you and raising a daughter for you, please help her fulfill her last wish. It is also her only wish.”
When Yi Lan saw that she had brought Mother Jin out, she was speechless for a moment. Her face was full of disappointment as she walked out of the door woodenly. Huixin saw her and immediately went forward to support her. She staggered back into the house and let them all retreat. She was alone quietly. Her expression was dull and her thoughts were chaotic. However, one thing was certain, that she was wrong. She was really wrong.
Back then, after Emperor Yongzheng issued the decree, the atmosphere that should have been there was broken. She and Gong E were naturally willing to let their children become cold-blooded killers and live a life of uncertainty. Their children should live a peaceful and sweet life. Just when Gong E was at his wit's end, someone suddenly appeared and gave them hope again.
On the way back to the mansion, Gong E saw a woman standing alone at a corner of a wall, hiding from the snow and ice. Her eyes were filled with helplessness. Gong E walked over and said,"Why aren't you going home at this hour?”
The woman's lips had turned purple from the cold. She said with a trembling voice,"There's no home for me here."
Gong E took off his cloak and put it on her, saying,""What's your name?"
The woman wrapped her cloak tightly around her, but she was still trembling. She replied,"Mother Jin."
"How many months pregnant are you?"”
Mother Jin's hand touched her stomach. She could feel the child in her stomach moving non-stop. Was it because it was cold? Was it because he was hungry? Or was it because she was afraid? "Seven months," she replied.
Gong E suddenly heaved a sigh of relief and said,"My wife is the same as you. She's seven months pregnant. You're homeless now. Why don't you come back with me and keep her company?”
Mother Jin hesitated and thought to herself," This night's wind and snow will definitely freeze me to death. It doesn't matter if I die, but the child in my stomach has yet to open its eyes to see this world. Thinking of this, tears involuntarily flowed down.
Seeing her like this, Gong E said softly,""Don't be afraid."
There was no better choice. The one in front of her was just a choice. After Mother Jin followed Gong E back to the mansion in fear, she arranged for her to stay in a courtyard in the southeast corner. Usually, there were very few people coming and going. On the second day, a doctor came to take her pulse. At the same time, an aunt also came. She was the wife of this doctor, Madam Li. This Madam Li accompanied her day and night and took care of her diet and daily life. Her life was also comfortable. Mother Jin thanked this family from the bottom of her heart. This was the first time she had met such a kind person. However, she had never seen the Madam that her benefactor had mentioned. Ever since she had brought her back to the manor, she had never seen her benefactor again. She had also often said to Madam Li that she wanted to pay her respects to Madam. Madam Li had always refused her for one reason or another. Mother Jin began to feel uneasy. Was there some conspiracy?
Consort Li would always advise her every time she saw her worried expression. People always believed in beauty. Indeed, this period of time could be said to be the happiest time in Mother Jin's life. It would be great if she could be like this forever. Actually, it could also be like this, but the mistress of the manor did not agree.
When Gong E told her that he found a woman who was seven months pregnant like you, her child could be exchanged with our child in the future." This is a serious crime of lying to the sovereign. Since the child has been exchanged, you must raise her child, and she will raise our child. You can't meet each other, and I can let them stay in the residence forever and live without worry for their lives. However, he will no longer have the status of Guarjia's legitimate son, so you have to think carefully."
After considering for a moment, Yi Lan nodded and said,"Yes, I have."
This Gong E really made Yi Lan feel helpless these days. Ever since Yi Lan found out about the Emperor's decree, she told Gong E,"Think of a way. I don't agree.”
Gong E could only sigh." This is an imperial edict. There's nothing I can do about it. I don't want to do it either."”
Seeing him like this, Yi Lan became angrier and angrier. She was filled with a thousand worries and hatred. She thought about it and decided that it would be better to die cleanly than to take advantage of their hearts. She made up her mind not to cry, not to make a fuss, not to eat, not to drink, not to cover herself with a blanket at night, and not to wear clothes in the cold weather. At this time, Gong E was really anxious. No matter how hard she tried to persuade him, he would not listen. He could not let the Emperor take back the imperial edict.
Yes, they were brothers, but now he understood better than anyone else that the remaining ones were more like the monarch and his subjects. Just as he was frowning and wandering like a soul in the snowy winter night, he met Mother Jin. His eyes lit up. This seemed to be a good idea.
Seeing that Yilan had agreed, he called Consort Li over to accompany Mother Jin. From then on, he never appeared again until one day, Consort Li came over with a bowl of medicine. She had a troubled expression and said,"Child, drink this.”
Mother Jin was in a very good mood. When people were in a good mood, what they saw and thought in their hearts were all beautiful. She drank it without thinking. Then, she saw Consort Li start to prepare in a hurry. Mother Jin asked curiously,"Auntie, why did you prepare all this?”
Consort Li smiled and said," Your body is heavy. I think it'll be in these two days. If you prepare in advance, you won't have to be so busy."”
Mother Jin gratefully held Consort Li's hand and said,"I will never forget your kindness. When the child grows up in the future, I will let him be filial to you like me.”As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach ached.
Consort Li quickly helped her to the bed and said,"Don't be afraid. The child is about to meet you.”
This pain came so suddenly that it could topple mountains and overturn seas. It caused Mother Jin's wails to resound through the entire night sky. Consort Li also began to panic. Not long after, after an extremely long and mournful cry, she heard the cry of a baby. Mother Jin relaxed and lay on the bed tiredly. She watched Consort Li scrub the child and tightly wrap him up. She struggled to sit up and said,"Let me hug you. Is it a boy or a girl?”
