There are no less than a hundred imperial concubine seals." With such a large number of pets, it is not impossible for some court ladies to be pregnant when they leave the palace.

Half a month later, the confidants reported back and found out that Jingui's mother had never left Lin'an and had been dead for many years. However, another clue was found. Jingui's father was a court musician and had stayed in Dadu for a year. Jingui's father has also been dead for many years.

There is another coincidence here. Calculated by time, Jingui's father was a court musician in the fourth year of Zhizheng, and he was born in the fifth year of Zhizheng?

Curiosity kills the cat, he can't accept the truth of this matter, but he can't help but want to continue to investigate.

In the court, because the case of Prime Minister Taiping involved a lot, all the officials went up to impeach the prince's party and handed it directly to the emperor. He was worried and anxious all day long, couldn't sleep well, and was under great mental pressure.

At this time, news came from the palace that the mother and concubine were seriously ill.

Can't help but think about it, Gao Chi rushed to the palace with a lot of money, and every time he entered the palace to visit his mother and concubine, he brought a lot of money, and when he gave rewards, he was generous and his son was good, so his mother could live in the palace. People surrounded the reason why the waiters didn't dare to let go, and the palace people also expected him to enter the palace, and everyone would be able to receive generous rewards.

The concubine's body was already very weak, the maid said: "Concubine Shu has been fasting for several days, and her spirit suddenly recovered today."

Mrs. Sai Tao was blush and drunk back then, but her skin was as white as jade, and her water was like peach blossoms with dew, which made her more beautiful. The emperor praised: "This is a beautiful peach girl".Therefore, she was called "Mrs. Sai Tao".

When Gao Chi saw his mother and concubine who had been bedridden for a long time, he couldn't help sighing, the smooth and smooth skin like silk satin had lost its luster now, but he was only 38 years old, his face was pale without a trace of blood, and he was so thin that only skin and bones remained.

Mrs. Sai Tao was in good spirits. When she saw her son coming, she even wanted to sit up and chat with him.

Gao Chi asked the maids to step back. If they don't ask at this time, they will never have another chance.

He approached the concubine's ear, and said softly: "I went to Lin'an last month and saw a young man who looks exactly like me. The world is so big, there is another person in this world who looks like me. wonderful."

Mrs. Sai Tao looked at him for a long while, and said slowly: "Before entering the palace, there was a childhood sweetheart next door brother who married me at the fingertips of my finger. My father was rich and powerful, and seeing that I was beautiful, he proposed to regret the marriage and send me to the palace. In the palace. The palace once sent someone to investigate my past, and in order to maintain my reputation, my father used tricks and sent someone to secretly kill the brother next door."

Gao Chi nodded. My mother told me about this past. Her fiancé was assassinated by her own father, and her mother almost severed ties with her natal family. Every year on that man's memorial day, her mother would secretly sacrifice in the palace.

"After entering the palace, I will be a palace maid first, and I was lucky enough to be selected by the emperor. The palace maid bullied me, and my aunt in charge looked down on me. My life was very difficult."

Gao Chi continued to nod, and his mother often talked about these details.

"After I was pregnant, they even gave me rough jobs. It wasn't until I gave birth to you in the servant room. You were very proud, it was a boy baby, and the aunt in charge didn't dare to hide it, so I reported the matter. The emperor saw that you were born beautifully, and he was very happy. I like it, canonize me as a talent."

From Mrs. Sai Tao's point of view, I am really grateful for this son. She often said, if you are a daughter, you will continue to be a court lady with me. Fortunately, you are a boy. You have to remember that if you are a boy, you must do great things. Only when you live well can I live well.

"Actually, there is one thing that I've been hiding from you. Now that I'm about to die, I want to tell you."

Gao Chi raised his eyebrows: "..."

"October pregnancy is fake, you are not born at full term. I secretly drank Cui Chancao decoction and gave birth to you in more than eight months."

Gao Chi's expression was greatly moved: "What does the mother concubine mean?"

Mrs. Sai Tao nodded, meaning don't talk, "If you want to get rid of the status of a court lady, it is not enough to be favored by the emperor a few times. You also need to have heirs. Daughters are not counted. You must have a son. That time I was favored by the emperor. , When I came to be popular in the second month, I knew I was not pregnant, but I was not reconciled, the youth is fleeting, and the beauty is easy to grow old, I must immediately conceive a child before I have the opportunity to be the master."

Gao Chi immediately held her down, "Mother, wait..." He got up and turned around twice to make sure that there was no one in the room, and then sat back down.

"Now that the prosperity has come to an end, the mediocrity has returned to the truth. I'm running out of time, and if I don't tell you the truth, I won't feel at ease when I leave. Don't tell me, listen to me."

Gao Chi: "..."

"The guards hang out with the maids, and the eunuchs and the maids eat together. I dare not look for the guards, because I am worried that I will be ruined in the future. There was a troupe playing that day, and the emperor and concubine sat under the stage to watch. I was busy serving tea and water. It happened that a musician asked me where the hut was? I led the way and led him to the hut. After he entered, I checked that there was no one around, and hid in the hut...I knelt down and begged him, saying that I liked him..."

Gao Chi closed his eyes, unable to listen anymore, these words were actually spoken by his mother.

His eyes were red, and he wanted to cry but had no tears.

Can you blame your mother?

No.

The law of survival in the harem, if a court lady wants to stand out, she must have a chance besides being beautiful. The mother does not have any relatives from her natal family who can afford it, and she is Han, so it is even more difficult for a Han court lady to rise to the top.

Mrs. Sai Tao didn't continue talking, because there was no need to say anything further.

Gao Chi took two deep breaths and asked, "Did mother ask the person's name? Where is he from?"

Mrs. Sai Tao shook her head: "No, I don't know where he is from, nor what his name is, and I don't even see his appearance clearly."

Gao Chi: "..."

Mrs. Sai Tao's face shimmered, which was the reflection before she died. Her tone slowed down: "I have no regrets. Fortunately, with you, I can live the rest of my life safely." She grabbed her son's hand again: "In life, eat what you want, meet who you want to see, do what you want to do, that's all."

Then her long eyelashes were half closed, and she said two words inaudibly: "Thank you."

Gao Chi: "..."

This turned out to be the last words left by the concubine before she died...

……

Jingui was silent for a long time after listening to Gao Chi's narration...

After thinking about it carefully, Jingui said softly: "At the beginning I wanted to marry my second sister to you, but when you refused, I guessed about it. But then I checked the hair roots on the back of your neck, and there was no mole there. "

Gao Chi: "..."

"That's right, my grandfather, there is a large sarcoma-like mole at the root of the hair on the back of the neck, which is usually hidden by the hair, so you can't see it. My father also has a very obvious mole at the root of the hair. The three of us My sister, our four brothers and sisters have small moles on the roots of their hair, but you don’t, I have paid special attention to it. I also once suspected that you might be my father’s child who was peanuts outside.”

Gao Chi: "What can a mole prove?"

Jingui said: "My father likes to brag, especially after drinking, he dares to say anything, he said that he was talking to a court lady...then what... some uncle scolded him in public, saying that sooner or later his life will be ruined. On this mouth. Since then, he has restrained a lot..."

Gao Chi: "..."

Jingui stretched out his hands to hold his head: "Are you sorry for me? Seeing that my relatives are dead and helpless, so I told this story to me. You want to tell me that you are my brother, I still have family, right?"

Gao Chi: "..."

Jin Gui kissed his forehead: "This story is very nice. I have long regarded you as a relative. It's a pity that you don't want to be my brother-in-law. In fact, it's pretty good to be my real brother."

"..."

As if thinking of something, Jingui said, "Why are you telling me this? Didn't you say that there are eyes and ears around here? Aren't you afraid that others will overhear this matter?"

Gao Chi looked at him, and said seriously, "I'll do the trick."

Jingui: "I don't understand."

Gao Chi teased him: "The kitchen knife hero can't even understand the four words 'take your dog's life', and of course he can't understand the four words 'just plan it'."

The scandal was mentioned again, and the scene was once embarrassing.

After a while, Jingui said again: "I think, since the crown prince won't let anyone go, let's run away secretly."

"Sneak away? What kind of sneak away?"

"Just leave without saying goodbye. It's dark and windy all day long. You arrange some people to pretend to be on duty. Let's fly away with money on our backs."

"impossible."

"Why not?"

"Where can you go?"

"Could it be that the world is so big, how can there be no room for voice?"

"You always think so naively that you can't escape."

"I can run away."

"Then tell me, where are you going?"

"Go to Uncle Shanchang."

Gao Chi raised his voice: "Are you still thinking about Li Shanchang and Zhu Yuanzhang? Are you going to join them?"

Seeing that he was a little angry, Jingui suddenly lost his momentum: "Well, I've been wrestling with this for the past few days, wouldn't it be good to join them?"

"not good."

"why?"

"Let me tell you this, Zhu Yuanzhang is just a self-proclaimed grass-headed king. There are so many grass-headed kings in history, how many of them ended well? Most of them died in the encirclement and suppression sent by the imperial court. They didn't earn much money and left a bad reputation. Take a ten thousand step back and say, if Zhu Yuanzhang is different, if he can stand out and succeed, I will not go for refuge.”

"why?"

Gao Chi snorted coldly: "Let me make an assumption. If Zhu Yuanzhang can become a successful grass-headed king, he will be king and loser. The people around him, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen, will not have a single person in the future. It will end well."

"No, I don't believe it. This is just your personal guess. Your mind is too dark. Why don't you look at the sun more?"

"I'm putting my words here today. You don't need to believe me, but you have to believe in history."

"What is history?"

"History is a drama,
