Chapter 920 Baili Shen Qingzhou and Shen Yunrou's Mother
"Back then, your father was among the thousands of girls who burned incense and prayed to God in Fengtian Kyoto just to see this handsome young man." Bai Li thought of Shen Qingzhou, with a smile that could not be concealed on his lips.
Shen Yunrou snorted softly. "My father is still as majestic now as he was back then."
"Your mother is the daughter of Shangshu Mansion, and her family status is on par with your father's. Furthermore, Shangshu is a close confidant of the late emperor and the uncle of the late emperor's mother's family. No matter from every aspect, she and your father are well matched."
Bai Li looked into the distance thoughtfully and smiled bitterly. "So, no one is born free, and everyone is in control of their own actions."
The late emperor was suspicious, especially after experiencing the tyranny of the eldest grandson family.
Shen Qingzhou's ability is stronger than that of his eldest grandson Yunxiao. Xiao Yanjin is afraid that Shen Qingzhou will become the second eldest grandson Yunxiao, so he chooses to suppress Shen Qingzhou in terms of family background and marriage.
"If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. Everyone under the emperor should understand one truth, that is, high power can shock the master, but high places cannot survive the cold."
Letting someone from his mother's clan marry Shen Qingzhou is what Xiao Yanjin wants to see most. After all, his mother's clan is easy to control.
Shen Qingzhou naturally refused to obey. He is a stubborn person and he must get what he wants.
"At that time, your father and I fell in love in the Western Regions. He was also the only man who passed the Western Regions Feast Test and took me away. But he forgot... He came to win me on behalf of Emperor Fengtian. He thought he was taking me with him. Leaving the Western Region will give me freedom."
The emperor was ruthless, and the Saint of the Western Regions was the highest honor to Emperor Fengtian at that time.
It is a symbol that Fengtian is far more powerful than the Western Regions.
It was the Western Region’s choice to submit to Fengtian.
"Who is Xiao Yanjin? He is jealous, suspicious, and devoted to the world." Xiao Yanjin is a good emperor, but he is definitely not a good husband or a good brother. "As an emperor, he can have no feelings, but he must firmly uphold the honor of the royal family. And status, as a tribute from the Western Regions, how could he easily hand me over to your father."
At that time, the people from the Western Region Dark Charming Tower took the opportunity to instigate others, making it even more impossible for Xiao Yanjin to reward Shen Qingzhou with the white raccoon dog.
Not only was Shen Qingzhou unable to marry Bai Li, but he might also arouse the emperor's suspicion by forcing him, which could lead to his death.
Of course Bai Li knew that this was the purpose of the Western Regions, which was to use her to alienate the relationship between the emperor and the powerful ministers, and take the opportunity to break into the interior.
She didn't want anything to happen to Shen Qingzhou, so it was important to win the emperor's heart.
"Before your father's wedding, the late Emperor Xiao Yanjin came to ask me if I would regret it."
Baili shook his head.
She has no regrets.
She promised Xiao Yanjin that Shen Qingzhou would agree to marry Shangshu's daughter.
"In order to get your father to marry your mother, I spent a lot of effort. I even conspired with your mother to drug him..." Baili smiled bitterly.
No one knew how much her heart ached at that time.
She wants Shen Qingzhou to marry the daughter of the Minister of Finance to save his life, and she also wants Shen Qingzhou to end his love and kill the poison in his body.
At that time, she really had no better way, really no...
She knew Shen Qingzhou too well. If Shen Qingzhou knew about the existence of Love Gu, he would not be able to let her go even if he died.
But accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. As a powerful official in heaven, his position is too important. How could the emperor not be afraid of him?
It is the normal state of the royal family to kill the donkey and kill the cunning rabbit.
Isn’t Mu Jingyan a living example?
If she hadn't tried every means to save Mu Jingyan's life, Mu Jingyan would have died ten years ago.
And the next Mu Jingyan is Shen Qingzhou.
Xiao Yanjin used his two brothers to ascend to the throne, and he will become more and more wary of his two brothers.
He was afraid of the Mu family and Shen Qingzhou.
Fortunately, Shen Qingzhou is much smarter than Mu Jingyan. He understands what it means to be a man who knows the current affairs.
But Mu Jingyan didn't understand. He was young, energetic, arrogant, and had made great achievements in the military.
All it takes is a little provocation from other countries, and the late emperor will feel that Mu Jingyan's outstanding achievements will shock him.
Coupled with the growth of the Mu family's personal army, the entire Mu family army of nearly 200,000 troops were all obeying Mu Jingyan's orders and did not even listen to Xiao Yanjin's words.
After the Huaihe Massacre, the Mu Army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Huaihe.
Mu Jingyan lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but still went to his younger brother Mu Di.
All kinds of evidence point to the late emperor.
There was also a real estrangement and suspicion between Mu Jingyan and the late emperor.
Even if the man behind the Huaihe Massacre was not the late emperor, the late emperor knew that Mu Jingyan would not believe it.
When Mu Jingyan harbored hatred, the late emperor had no choice but to do it...
As an emperor, he had too many choices, so he could only join forces with Shen Qingzhou to get rid of Mu Jingyan.
And Shen Qingzhou married Shangshu's daughter in advance, which was his life-saving talisman.
"So, are you planning on my father marrying my mother, or are you trying to save my father's life?" Shen Yunrou had actually guessed it.
"I told your mother about this. She said she would do her best to use family connections to keep Shen Qingzhou, as long as Shen Qingzhou was willing to marry her. She said she didn't care whether Shen Qingzhou loved her or not, and she wouldn't
Thinking about getting his love. I trust her very much, and everything she shows is enough for me to trust her, but I didn't expect that the first thing she did after marrying your father was to get rid of me."
Shen Yunrou's mother was also a poetry friend of Empress Changsun back then, and they would often get together. Bai Li trusted Empress Changsun, so he naturally found that woman trustworthy.
"Your mother is a very smart woman. She is the only one... who brings me the closest to death." Baili smiled.
The death she had experienced now was just serious injury, but that woman was really ruthless in plotting against her.
I wish I could crush her to pieces.
If Shen Qingzhou hadn't appeared in time to save her, she would have died in the hands of Shen Yunrou's mother.
"If she is responsible for her husband and raising children, her father's character will keep her alive for the rest of her life. Although he does not love her mother, he will let her sit in the position of the mistress of the Shen family for a long time out of a sense of responsibility. It is a pity..." Shen Yunrou
I felt sorry for her mother.
It's a pity that she is restless.
It is said that her mother used Shen Qingzhou's name to trick Bai Li out of the house, and had her put into a kiln and burned.
If Shen Qingzhou hadn't discovered the clue, Baili would have been unable to even find the ashes.
Shen Yunrou's mother was smart enough to think that this matter would not be traced to her, but who was Shen Qingzhou? The entire Baixiaotang belonged to him, so how could there be no clues about it.
But Shen Qingzhou didn't say anything. He was as usual towards her mother and even more disgusted with Bai Li.
Shen Qingzhou is protecting Bai Li by hurting him. The more he hates Bai Li, the safer Bai Li will be in Fengtian.
"At that time... I knew that your father knew the whole story. He knew clearly that it was your mother who wanted to kill me, but he still treated her with respect as usual. I knew that he was taking revenge on me..."
Watching the person you love and your enemy treat each other as if they were guests, this is the greatest torture for Baili.
She vomited blood several times because of the poison and was tortured to the point of unconsciousness by Shen Qingzhou many times.
On the one hand, she felt that it was too soon... Shen Qingzhou was about to stop loving her.
Love Gu is dying.
But on the other hand, my heart has long been bruised and bruised by myself.
