Xianjin raised his head slightly: "I...I can't remember some of my childhood. The only memory is that I followed my mother to the Chen family." Xianjin paused slightly: "My mother...Is she my mother? What happened back then?"
Princess Bai'an choked up and glanced sideways: "The rebels in Shandong and Shanxi incited refugees to move northwards to the capital. The capital was breached and the royal family retreated to Luanping. At this time, the rebels attacked at night and you and Concubine Gao were..."
"elder sister--"
Before Princess Bai'an could finish her words, the dark figure behind her hunched over and slowly stepped out, interrupting her words: "Let me tell you."
Princess Bai'an looked at that place with a complicated expression.
The dark shadow stood in the light and slowly raised his head, revealing his gray hair and sunken cheeks.
He hasn't been in the light for a long time.
For a moment, I felt a little awkward.
But Feifei was right in front of him.
Emperor Xun, no, now Prince Xiao, was filled with hot tears, his eyes seemed to burn out all his life, he stared at Xian Jin with burning eyes: "The rebels attacked at night, a hundred miles away, the scouts had already discovered the rebels' plan."
"We have plenty of time to prepare."
"But General Lu, who was escorting us, was slow to move."
"I interrogated him and threatened him, but he remained unmoved. When the scouts came back to report that the rebels were already on the hilltop not far away, I panicked and asked him what he was going to do."
"He said that as long as the imperial concubine is given a bowl of abortion-inducing medicine, he will immediately organize his men to take precautions."
Xianjin stared at the black shadow not far away, his heart rising and falling like the tide.
Prince Xiao was hunched over as he continued, "At the time, my queen's surname was Lu, and Lieutenant General Lu was her elder brother. My imperial concubine was six months pregnant, and the imperial physician diagnosed her with a high probability of a boy. If born, he would be my eldest son, and also my only son at the time."
Xianjin said nothing.
I just felt my cheeks itchy and cold.
Xianjin raised his hand and touched his face.
My palms are filled with tears.
Princess Bai'an turned her head away reluctantly.
"And then?" Xianjin finally spoke, his voice calm and indifferent: "Did you let the imperial concubine drink the bowl of abortion medicine?"
In the light, the light from the twelve candlesticks illuminates all the details, no matter how big or small.
Prince Xiao opened his mouth but no sound came out. He opened it again and his voice was as sad as if it was slowly climbing up from the eighteenth level of purgatory underground: "I... I gave it to her to drink... I told her... He who knows the times is a hero... This child is gone, but we still have many opportunities. We can give birth to many, many children in the future..."
"But there is no future..."
"She was bleeding a lot...her eyes were open and she couldn't close them...her hands were searching around the bed..."
King Xiao’s figure trembled.
Xianjin gently raised his head, exhaled a long breath from his chest, slowly closed his eyes, and felt two lines of hot tears flowing down, gradually changing from hot to cold.
