Fingers of crossing

Back at the General's Mansion, Jiang Ningzui had just entered the hall, and immediately saw the butler welcoming him.

"The princess is back?"

Jiang Ning was drunk when she heard the words, she nodded as a response, she passed the butler and walked into the lobby, and asked, "Where's mother?"

The steward said: "If you go back to the princess, the madam is reciting sutras and Buddha in the room."

"Really?" Jiang Ningzui paused slightly, she looked back at the butler who was about to follow up, and stopped her: "I have something to talk to my mother alone, you don't have to follow."

Hearing Jiang Ningzui's words, the butler nodded as he said, and silently led the servants back.

Zhen's bedroom is spacious and spacious, with a faint scent of sandalwood floating in the air, but Jiang Ningzui doesn't like this scent, she always feels that it smells old-fashioned.

During these days in the General's Mansion, Jiang Ningzui has probably figured out some of Zhen's preferences. Her husband has fought in the battlefield all year round, and her beloved daughter lives in the palace. As a woman, perhaps the only thing she can do is Accompanied by the ancient Buddha with blue lanterns, chanting scriptures and praying for relatives.Jiang Ningzui pushed the door softly and entered, and saw Mrs. Zhen kneeling in front of the altar in the middle of the hall, twirling beads and reciting softly.

Not wanting to disturb, Jiang Ningzui stood silently behind Zhen Shi, she looked up at the god statue on the table in a daze, the golden Buddha statue was solemn, with her hands folded, her face was compassionate and serene.

He is a god above the nine heavens, in charge of all the ups and downs of suffering and happiness in the world. Everyone believes in him devoutly, worships him, and believes that he sits and watches the common people with compassion, and will surely save all living beings from the sea of ​​suffering.It's a pity that he can't save anyone. There are still countless famines and wars in this world, and countless sad partings are staged every minute and every second.

The dull sound of the wooden fish echoed in the huge room. At some point, Mrs. Zhen put down the wooden pestle in her hand, turned her head slightly to Jiang Ningzui's direction, and said, "Since you're here, why don't you speak?"

"I don't want to disturb mother."

Zhen Shi got up and walked up to Jiang Ningzui, she smiled kindly, put her hand on Jiang Ningzui's chest, and said, "But you have so many things on your mind that even I heard it."

Helping Mrs. Zhen to sit down, Jiang Ningzui didn't know how to beat around the bush, so she said frankly, "I do have something to ask my mother."

Zhen Shi sat down and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Ningzui also retreated to a chair beside her and sat down. She lowered her eyes slightly and thought for a moment before she looked up at Zhen Shi and said, "I want to know, is it because my mother sent me away last night to talk to the eldest princess?" About my sister?"

The hand that was lightly twisting the Buddha beads paused slightly, Zhen looked up at Jiang Ningzui in surprise, and frowned unconsciously.Time slipped by bit by bit, Zhen Shi struggled silently for a long time, finally gave up and said: "Why do you ask this?"

"Mother doesn't need to hide it from me anymore," Jiang Ningzui said with a slight smile, "I know everything about the eldest princess and sister."

Zhen's expression was surprised at first, she opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she was just puzzled and said: "Even the crown prince doesn't know about this matter, how did you know it?"

"Mother, do you remember that I asked you about the golden phoenix hairpin?" Jiang Ningzui said, pulling out the hairpin from her hair and placing it in front of Zhen Shi. "The barbarian my sister was talking about back then was referring to the eldest princess, and the hairpin is now in the hands of the eldest princess."

Stretching out her hand to caress the golden hairpin, Zhen Shi nodded and said clearly, "So that's how it is."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhen didn't deny it, Jiang Ningzui's expression froze slightly, and she said, "So, is mother willing to tell me now, what exactly did she say to the eldest princess last night?"

Mo Ran withdrew her hand, Zhen Shi slowed down her thoughts immersed in memories, and said softly: "It's just giving the eldest princess an answer that is more than four years late."

Jiang Ning asked drunkenly, "Answer?"

"Yes." Zhen replied, "I just told the eldest princess where I buried your sister after she died."

"What?" Jiang Ningzui's voice was low, her brows suddenly frowned, and her heart sank. "My sister has been dead for more than four years. Didn't the eldest princess know where my sister was buried all these years?"

Zhen Shi didn't answer, but the expression in her eyebrows and eyes said everything.

Jiang Ningzui couldn't feel anything in her heart, she just asked: "Why?"

"Because I used to blame the eldest princess for a long time, even though it has faded away with time, I can still vividly remember the pain at the beginning." With trembling hatred, the circles of his eyes gradually turned red. "Indeed, as a citizen of the country of Yan, the eldest princess turned the tide and saved Dayan. I should be as grateful to her as the thousands of people in Dayan. But as a mother, she destroyed my daughter with her own hands. I can't stop hating her. Shuying is my daughter, the pride of your father and me. She was talented and intelligent since she was a child, and she was prudent and sensible. She never let your father and I worry about it. But since returning to the capital, everything Everything has changed. What is the cause of her changes? How can I, as a mother, not know? There is someone hidden in my daughter’s family, so it is naturally different. As for who this person is, although your father refuses to tell me , but I can still guess it."

The memory is really sad, Zhen's eyes were red, and she smiled sadly: "She contradicted your father again and again for the eldest princess, and once went out of the city rashly to find Jiulingcao in disregard of military orders to save the eldest princess, and even publicly He refused the marriage bestowed by the first emperor, refused to marry the King of Wu even if he lost his official position, and finally even gave up his life to guard the last gate in the capital for the eldest princess. I can see all these actions, I understand it in my heart. Who else is this person who is more important than her life except the eldest princess?"

Jiang Ning was intoxicated with sympathy, she wanted to comfort the sobbing Zhen Shi, but when she opened her mouth, she found her throat was rough and she couldn't say a word.After deliberating every word, Jiang Ningzui said softly: "All of this is my sister's choice, mother don't have to be too sad."

"How can I not be sad? Shuying was so stupid that she gave her life to the eldest princess, but what did she get in the end? For the sake of Dayan's country, the eldest princess finally abandoned her. I know that the eldest princess's love must be Already, but as a mother, I will never forgive her in my heart." Zhen slowly closed her eyes and sighed: "Maybe you were still young at that time, so you don't remember, but I will never forget her." When the body was transported back to the general's mansion, there was not a single piece of skin on her body that was intact. She used to be such a beautiful and flawless woman, but in the end she was riddled with holes and died so tragically. She was just a double Ten-year-old girl, if she hadn't followed your father on the battlefield since she was a child, she should also be a weak and beautiful ordinary daughter. She should be at the age to enjoy all the good things in this world. I am her mother, and I personally welcomed her to this place. In the world, she will be sent away in the end, and I will taste the most heartbreaking parting in this world."

Zhen's words were weeping blood, as if a knife was cutting Jiang Ningzui's heart. She suddenly thought of her two mothers, and wondered how they would be in grief after knowing about her shipwreck. Absolute mood.Thinking about it, Jiang Ningzui lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "But these... shouldn't be the reason why mother hates the eldest princess. I know that mother hates how the eldest princess treated her sister back then, and hated her for treating her sister like an abandoned child for the sake of this country. Throw it outside the city gate and let her fend for herself, but these are just my mother's thoughts, how can my mother believe that my sister thinks the same way?"

Looking down on the golden phoenix hairpin, Jiang Ningzui said lightly: "If I were my sister, I'm afraid I would feel very proud in my heart at the moment of death. I am glad that the woman I love has the world in mind, and there are many men in the world. He is a truly good king with a heart and strategy that cannot be compared. But if the eldest princess abandoned the people of the world for her sister alone, that would only make her sister look down on her. How can such a person be worthy of her sister? Iron bones will make the eldest princess and sister the eternal sinners recorded in the annals of history. Later generations will laugh at them and laugh at the women in this world as short-sighted women who will never be the masters of the world. This is definitely not what my sister wants to see."

Zhen Shi was stunned by these words, she stared at Jiang Ningzui in a daze, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"But...but..." Mrs. Zhen said in a daze, "After so many years, the eldest princess has never said a single word..."

There was pain in Jiang Ningzui's eyes, but her voice was almost ruthless, "So what can I say? There is only one person in the world who really understands her, but unfortunately she is no longer here."

Jiang Shuying is no longer here, and at that time, Yan Yilan was burdened with the misunderstandings of the world and Weici first ascended the throne, and it seems insignificant to explain or not, because in this world, there is no one who understands her. .However, her temperament is forbearing and introverted, she is never willing to explain anything for herself, and she doesn't bother to argue about anything. Over time, her image in front of the world is just a cruel and iron-blooded king. She hides in that prosperous scene No one can see the softness and silence.

The meaning in Jiang Ning's drunken words was so strong that Rao Zhen could not help but feel a little sad, and she was a little surprised in a moment, "Ning'er, the eldest princess's mind is always hard to guess, how did you know?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ningzui raised her eyebrows and chuckled softly, her smile was like the morning sun that sees the sun through the clouds, without any pretense. "Because I know her."

Zhen's heart became more and more puzzled, but unfortunately Jiang Ningzui couldn't wait for her to figure it out one by one. She stood up and walked outside the door. When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and bowed her head. After thinking for a while, she suddenly opened her mouth and smiled, her smile was clear and beautiful, which brought out the sharp beauty on her face, which was exquisite and eye-catching.

"My sister's unfulfilled wish back then, from now on, I will do it for her." After speaking, Jiang Ningzui turned around and saluted the astonished Zhen Shi. Her tone was modest, but her words were resounding. "I hope my mother will take care of herself, I must go back to where I should go."

Because I want to go back to her, because I don't want to let her alone again.
