Chapter 24 Dream
When she woke up again, Xiao Jinyu found herself walking in a long corridor. There was no one around, except for the sound of footsteps. There seemed to be a voice calling her softly in her ears, making her Curious and involuntarily, I walked straight forward. After walking for a while, my eyes suddenly opened up, revealing a large garden.
It seems that it is the season of early summer, and all kinds of flowers are in full bloom in the garden. They are beautiful and fragrant. A large flowerbed is in front of you. Not far away, you can see various pavilions, brackets and cornices, and majestic buildings with double eaves and nine ridges. Second time.
Xiao Jinyu knew that she was dreaming again, but the strange thing was that even though she knew it was a dream, she still had a real feeling of being there, as if she was living in another world again.
The scenery in front of her was no stranger to her. If her guess was correct, this must be the Royal Garden in Taicheng, Jiankang. In the past, as a noble daughter of the Xie family, she was a frequent visitor to the palace of Prince Zhaoming. Emperor Wu of Liang also She was often called into the palace to teach the princesses of the Xiao family.
So she was already very familiar with everything in the palace.
After walking into a peach forest, Xiao Jinyu heard someone talking in the forest.
It was a woman's voice.
"Put this medicine into Han Zigao's drink. If you can successfully make him drink this glass of wine, I will definitely reward him heavily."
"yes."
"In addition, inform Princess Yuhua about this matter and let her prepare."
"yes."
Han Zigao? After hearing the name, Xiao Jinyu approached curiously and saw a woman wearing a colorful palace dress with a lotus Guiyun Yao bun on her head talking to a little palace maid. .
The little palace maid lowered her head, and her voice was timid.
The woman said again: "You must be curious about why I do this? But this is not what you are concerned about. The Xiao family has been a prestigious family for hundreds of years. If it is stained because of a woman, the descendants of the Xiao family will never be able to hold their heads high. Come on, as for Han Zigao, he is just a commoner from a humble background. This palace is taking advantage of him. Why, are you still afraid of him? "
"No, I don't dare." the little palace maid said repeatedly.
"Then go ahead! Once it's done, not only you, but also your entire family, I will be able to help them live a life of fine clothing and food. They will enjoy glory and wealth."
"yes."
The palace maid lowered her head and walked away. Xiao Jinyu glanced at the palace maid, and then walked towards the woman in gorgeous palace clothes. But as she approached, everything in front of her, including the woman, suddenly disappeared. The bright scenery of the Royal Garden was suddenly replaced by a dark and damp landscape.
A dungeon surrounded by iron bars suddenly appeared before her eyes. In a dark and cramped corner, a man with slender figure and messy black hair stood with his hands behind his back, wearing heavy shackles on both his hands and feet.
There was a small window on the top of the cell, and a faint light shone down, which just illuminated the man's face.
With her plastered hair and natural eyebrows, she is delicate and white. If it weren't for the handsome temperament revealed in the man, people would mistake her for a woman.
Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat, and she was extremely surprised, not because this man was extremely beautiful, but because this face was clearly the face she saw in the mirror.
Is this Han Zigao? Is he the biological father of the original owner?
So where is he now?
Just as I was thinking about it, a voice came to my ear: "I heard from Zhou Xiaoshi that today the boy is singing under the moonlight, his hands are not separated from each other, and the sheep cart is empty. The beauty of his height is indeed rare in the world, and his grace and grace are so handsome. I still see him. Lian, even though he is in a prison, his appearance and demeanor are not compromised."
This sound?
Xiao Jinyu suddenly turned around and looked around, and saw a man wearing a snow-white straight-fronted robe walking down the stone steps step by step. When he came to the front of his eyes, Xiao Jinyu's face couldn't help but change in shock.
Because this person is none other than Chen Shili, but this Chen Shili is different from the humble one from a poor family in the past. Dressed in rich clothes, he already has an aura that only a king can have.
"I have given you a chance, but you insist on going against me. Is my brother really worthy of your loyalty?"
"Oh, how can the country that was stolen last forever? Emperor Wen regarded you as a brother during his lifetime. He would rather cede the territory than redeem you from the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He left you alone before his death and handed over all his authority to you. But he didn't expect that you would He was so ruthless and ruthless that he would not spare his only legitimate son. "When it comes to being ruthless, my imperial brother did no less than I did. Wasn't it your fault that the prince died of a sudden illness?" How much cleaner are your hands than mine?
The most unacceptable thing in the way of a king is a woman's benevolence and soft-heartedness. Only when you lose something can you gain something. "
"So, you can even kill the one you love, and you can betray your closest relatives. But why don't you even let an innocent woman go?"
When he mentioned his beloved, Chen Shili's expression changed slightly, and complex emotions seemed to flash through his eyes.
"Han Zigao, is it my imperial brother or that woman who you love most?" Chen Shili suddenly asked, "Don't think that I don't know. Over the years, you have been sending people to inquire about that woman's whereabouts, and you have tried every means to do so. To protect her safety, and that woman also gave birth to a child for you, right? "
Han Zigao's expression suddenly changed.
Chen Shili laughed again and said: "Hahaha... Everyone in the world thinks that you, Han Zigao, are my imperial brother's favorite, loyal and unswervingly loyal to him. This is really an extremely ridiculous thing. In fact, you are just relying on me." You only wanted the wealth, glory and power you wanted from the royal brother's favor, but in the end you betrayed him and fell in love with another woman."
"Emperor Wen was a blessing to me, not what you think."
"Actually, I don't care about the things between you and my imperial brother. What I care about is another matter. As long as you tell me, I can spare your life. Are you still unwilling to tell?"
Han Zigao sneered and closed his eyes.
"You can kill him if you want. Now that Emperor Wen has passed away and my kindness has been repaid, there is indeed no point in living in this world."
Chen Shili said conveniently: "Don't you care about your wife and children?"
Han Zigao's expression changed, with a little fear and pleading in his eyes.
"They are innocent. I can admit that I conspired to rebel and bear all the charges alone, but please don't implicate my family."
"Then write down everything you know."
After Chen Shili said this, he walked towards Xiao Jinyu, laughed and walked away from her body.
Seeing that the man's figure had disappeared at the end of the corridor, Xiao Jinyu turned to look at Han Zigao, who was standing in the cell with his hands folded, but saw tears in the eyes of this handsome man like a woman.
He stood in the prison for a long time and suddenly murmured: "Aluan, I'm sorry, it was me who harmed you in this life."
After saying this, he picked up a wine cup, and in the wine cup was a slightly reddish amber wine.
Xiao Jinyu knew that it was the golden wine given by the emperor, specially given to the guilty ministers to drink.
"The only solution to worries is Du Kang."
Just as she was about to grab the wine cup in his hand, she heard him say something with a smile, then raised his head and drank.
"Brother Qing——"
Someone was pushing her, and when she heard the boy's call, Xiao Jinyu suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed.
"Brother Qing is having nightmares again?"
No, this is not a dream. This should be something that really happened. It was a dream that she had obtained through divination. It turned out that the truth was like this. But what did Chen Shili in the dream want to know from Han Zigao?
Who is the woman who framed her mother?
