Chapter 130

Liu Yao looked at the unconscious old woman with a calm face. The doctor just gave the medicine and shook his head and left sighing, saying that her condition was very bad. Because of the ups and downs of her emotions, her own extremely serious illness worsened.

In fact, according to the doctor, it is a great miracle that Aunt Qing can survive. Her body is dilapidated. If she wants to live, she can only rest. Moreover, a big reason why she can persist until now may be because she has some obsession in her heart.

But now, her mood swing has triggered a series of adverse consequences. Moreover, she no longer seems to have the obsession to support her survival. The doctor said that if it goes on like this, she can live for another month at most.

Liu Yao's face sank like water. He understands what the doctor means. The woman in front of me can't be saved. However, he hasn't asked anything. How can he let her sleep like this? Moreover, his uneasiness and suspicion are getting bigger and bigger. He can almost be sure that the old woman should know a lot of secrets.

That day, she woke up with what he said, which was also full of doubts. She took the trouble to come to the capital and suffered for more than half a year, as if to meet him. But after he fled, she never asked to see him. It seems that she just wants to meet him...

Who the hell is she?

Aunt Qing was in a coma for three days before she woke up.

Today is New Year's Eve. As the son of King Jing, Liu Yao had to go to the palace to celebrate the New Year to the emperor, the queen and the empress dowager.

Early morning, he wore layers of prince's formal clothes and asked the official family to prepare a carriage and was about to go out to the palace, but the little girl in Aunt Qing's yard ran over to report to him: "Master, Aunt Qing woke up and is still awake."

Liu Yao's footsteps when he was about to go out suddenly hesitated. The doctor has already said that the old woman will not live long. In the future, she will be in a coma for longer and longer, and maybe she will die in a coma. Moreover, she herself is also mentally troubled. Even if she wakes up, she may not be clear and can't ask anything at all.

Liu Yao knows that even if some things are cruel, they can't escape. Since he has made the decision to take the initiative to find out the truth, it is really not wise to be so hesitant like now.

Therefore, he ordered the little girl in Aunt Qing's yard. Once she woke up and was conscious, she would come and report to him.

But he didn't expect Aunt Qing to wake up at this time. Should I ask her first? Or go to the palace first?

In a blink of an eye, Liu Yao made a decision and asked the old woman what she knew first. After all, it's still early, and he doesn't have to rush to the palace early. According to his weak position in the emperor's heart, no one will care whether he goes or not.

Liu Yao sat quietly in front of Aunt Qing's bed, looked coldly at her sitting against the soft pillow and asked, "Say it, who are you? I know you must know some of my mother's secrets.

Aunt Qing's face was pale and weak, but she looked at Liu Yao with bright eyes and whispered, "Sir, what do you want to know?"

Liu Yao was stunned and suddenly felt a little confused. He looked at Aunt Qing and said motionless, "Tay everything you know about my mother."

"Well, if you want to know, I'll tell you all." Aunt Qing smiled gently on her ferocious face and said to Liu Yao, "It's just a long story. Be patient with the prince."

"Hmm." Liu Yao squeezed his lips tightly and slightly clenched his fists with his hands on his knees.

"I'm the big girl around the county head." Aunt Qing turned her eyes away from Liu Yao and looked at the hoarse and old voice, but with a different charm. She slowly said, "When the county leader was still in the Duke's mansion, I followed her. The county head is two years older than me, but he is much thinner than me. I forgot how I followed the county head. I only remember that at that time, someone always came to bully us... If it hadn't been for Mother Lin, the county owner and I would have starved to death. However, later, Mother Lin was mistakenly sold by the new wife. After the county owner left the government, it was found that she had been killed..."

When Aunt Qing said these few words, she was a little tired and her breathing began to become unstable. Liu Yao silently handed her the medicinal tea that had been prepared by the bed, signaling her to take a breath first.

Aunt Qing looked at Liu Yao with a little surprise, and a happy look flashed in her eyes. She took the tea with a smile and slowly sipped it.

And Liu Yao's heart is as chaotic as the sea. He had earlier guessed that the old woman was probably the person next to his mother. But he never thought that she would say that she had been with her mother since the Protectorate. This fact excited him. The closer she is with her mother, the more she knows. Maybe she will know why her mother raised herself so much...

After drinking a few sips of tea, Aunt Qing continued to say, "When the county chief was nine years old, he was taken into the palace. At that time, I was only seven years old. The county owner didn't want to be separated from me, so he begged the queen at that time to let me go to the palace to accompany her.

County head, very good-looking, much better than the prince. She always looks weak in front of people, and she has hurt her body since she was a child, so it is very lovable. When she was in the palace, the queen loved her more than her daughter.

However, only I know that those are actually just superficial disguises of the county owner. She is much stronger and smarter than everyone else. At that time, she only dared to tell me the truth. Although the Empress loves her very much on the surface, the county owner doesn't know whether she is sincere or not. Moreover, there were many other palace concubines, princes and princesses in the palace at that time, all of which the county magistrates could not afford to provoke. We grew up carefully left and right in the palace like sisters who depend on each other.

Liu Yao listened quietly, and his heart surged with indescribable distress. He always thought that his mother grew up being spoiled in the palace, but now it seems that things are not as he thought.

"Even so, the county owner still made many people hate it, and there were rumors outside that the county owner was domineering. At that time, it was the age of the county's main marriage, so the queen was very angry. Later, the concubine who spread the message was misreported by the queen and threw her into the cold palace. No one dares to talk nonsense in the future. But the rumor has spread, and it's hard to collect the water. Aunt Qing narrowed her eyes and slowly recalled what had happened in those years, with an undisguised hatred in her eyes.

She took a break and continued: "Because of rumors, no minister's family came to ask the county owner for marriage. The Empress held several banquets, but found that the sons of the ministers' families did not perform well, so she understood the thoughts of the ministers.

In the final analysis, the county head is the daughter of the Protectorate. Unfortunately, she is basically cut off from the Duke's mansion and doesn't take the Duke's mansion as her mother's family at all. If you marry her and enter the door, you may be guilty of protecting the government. Although the queen loves the county owner, she is not the real golden branches and jade leaves. However, according to the degree of favor of the county owner, most of them still have to offer up like a princess after marrying to satisfy the queen. Therefore, the ministers of the dynasty are naturally unwilling to marry her.

Although several minor officials are looking to marry the county magistrate. The county owner also thinks it's good to get married, at least he can live more freely. But the queen felt that it was too aggrieved for the county owner to marry a family like them... So, the county owner's marriage was delayed.

"How did the mother marry her father?" Liu Yao asked with a frown.

Aunt Qing paused and looked at Liu Yao and said slowly, "Because the queen wants the county owner to be the side concubine of the crown prince."

Liu Yao stared at Aunt Qing in disbelief: "The Empress Dowager asked her mother to be a concubine for her son?"

Aunt Qing smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes, at that time, the Empress Dowager may feel that since the county magistrate may not be happy when she marries someone else, it would be better to stay with her side. With her care, no one will dare to bully her. However, she didn't understand the county magistrate's mind. The county magistrate never thought of living in the palace all her life.

Later, the county magistrate met Prince Jing, who was still a proton at that time. The county owner felt that his gentle personality was worthy of entrusting him, so he did not hesitate to provoke the queen to anger, and finally asked for marriage and married her to the proton of Jingwang Mansion. At that time, she never thought that a seemingly gentle and harmless proton would one day kill Lingnan and take back Jingwang Mansion.

Liu Yao was stunned. He didn't know what expression he should make to express his horror. He thought that his mother fell in love with his father, so he begged the empress dowager to marry him. Now it seems that the truth is that the mother just wanted to avoid the fate of becoming a concubine in the palace, so she chose the proton of Jingwang Mansion with a bleak future to marry.

He was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and asked with difficulty, "As you said, does his mother actually have no feelings for his father at all?"

"Of course not. The county owner has grown up in the deep palace since he was a child, and his mind has long been mature. How can he really look at others like a little girl and fall in love? However, at the beginning, she also had expectations for this marriage. After all, she chose people, and she still has confidence in her own vision. However, the world is unpredictable. Even if the county head is very smart, he still has been trapped by others. Aunt Qing's voice was more hoarse, bringing full resentment.

Liu Yao's heart beat and asked, "What's wrong with my mother?"

Aunt Qing turned her eyes and looked at him for a while before saying, "After the county owner married to King Jing's Proton Mansion, nothing came out for two years. In desperation, I had to offer my concubine for your father. Your father chose the big girl he has been with for more than ten years. The county owner found that she had been pregnant for two months at that time. In anger, the county owner slapped the girl, but he never thought that the girl would lose her child because of this.

"How is that possible? Is that girl a porcelain man?" Liu Yao can no longer suppress the anger and excitement in his heart.
