"Mother's ......"

Xu Chenglin's lips were pursed, and he wanted to persuade again.

But the Duchess of Weiguo had already gotten up, and her eyebrows, which were originally as kind and compassionate as a Buddha, suddenly became fierce, and the anger that had been forcibly suppressed was like a flash flood:

"I said it, but no!"

"What did I see her doing? I think of my child dying when he speaks, and I think of your brother who has been buried in front of me for eighteen years, and we don't know how many times we have seen the begonia flowers made of his bones and blood?!"

"She has been your sister for eighteen years, but I have been your mother for twenty-three years!"

"Can't you be considerate and considerate of me, let me give your brother a good ride, let me be at peace for a while?!"

Duchess Weiguo's haggard eyes were like a river of sorrow, and the irrepressible sadness rolled out again, and tears became rain:

"Let her go, I don't want to see her again! You all want me to forgive her, but who will spare me?

Duchess Weiguo covered her face with a handkerchief and cried loudly, Mama Gao supported her with red eyes and looked at Xu Chenglin pleadingly.

Gong Weiguo, who was resting for a while in the side hall, came out when he heard the voice, pressed Duchess Weiguo on his shoulder, and let her cry loudly, but shook his head at his son with the sadness in his eyes.

Xu Chenglin's nose was sour, he turned around and strode out, not daring to cry in front of his mother.

Although he had never met his brother with a miserable fate, and only now did he know the cruel truth, he could also feel the pain of the flesh and bone in his parents' hearts.

If he knew, he would have known it, and he would have told his father and mother!

Bai Chenghuan was looking forward to it in front of the mountain gate, and Xu Chengru and Xu Chengle were silently looking at Bai Chenghuan.

Although Dong Zheng also made great contributions to the succession of the new emperor, the Qin army did not capture the capital, but subdued the capital without blood.

Therefore, even if Dong Zheng has been extraordinarily promoted, and has earned the hereditary title of Sanpin General for the Dong family, which is better than the efforts of others for many years, it is still small before the supreme power of the emperor and those meritorious ministers.

Even if Xu Chengru is a wife and a husband, he is very limited in this capital.

And Xu Chengle needless to say, no matter how powerful the Weiguo Mansion is, it has little to do with him, he is just a concubine who is destined to branch out from the Weiguo Mansion.

It is because of their sister and brother that they are not qualified to attend the palace banquet.

So far, they have not experienced what kind of demeanor and demeanor the righteous sister who was only born in the family of the military attache in Yuzhou in their eyes was like after becoming rich and noble.

The woman in front of her has a face that is no different from the righteous daughter who used to occupy her mother's favor in Weibei Houfu, still so black and white eyes that seem to shine, or such a delicate and fair face like porcelain.

And different from the plain and elegant skirt at that time, it was the silver armor that outlined her waist neatly and distinctly, obviously covered under the white cloak like snow, but at a glance, the awe-inspiring aura was dazzling.

Xu Chengru, who has always been a model for a standard aristocratic woman, naturally couldn't stand such a cold air, and quickly lowered his head.

But Xu Chengle is a man after all, although he is young, he still managed to look at it twice, until Bai Chenghuan turned his head and hurriedly met his gaze in the air for a moment, Xu Chengle lowered his head, showing his deference as a subject.

Merely......

Xu Chengle sneered coldly in his heart, in the eyes of this righteous sister, there was no longer the gentleness and softness when he saw them before, and the familiarity and kindness that seemed to be nothing.

Sure enough, it is to use the Weibei Houfu to take the upper position, and discard it after using it?

Bai Chenghuan didn't have time to take care of the thoughts in the hearts of the two of them.

Xu Chenghuan is dead, and as Bai Chenghuan, in fact, she has never been put in her heart by these two people.

And now, Bai Chenghuan, is no longer a person who seeks trouble.

Xu Chenglin saw the figure in front of the mountain gate from a distance.

Xu Chengru and Xu Chengle are just that, he knew they were coming early on, but this action is very important, since his father and mother have endured this matter with grief, the less people know, the better.

It's just Cheng Huan......

Xu Chenglin looked at the woman who was almost tiptoeing to look this way, and his heart was complicated.

There's nothing wrong with her, she's just the pathetic pawn in Concubine Shu's vicious schemes.

But she is also the most stinging pawn.

He had pampered his sister for eighteen years, and how sad would he be if he was abandoned by all of them like this?

He didn't know if his father and mother were like him, and his heart was full of blood if he forcibly removed her from their lives?

Cheng Huan, Cheng Huan.

Her mother gave her this name because she wanted all the joy of the world.

After that, can they still be happy?

I'm afraid I can't anymore.

Xu Chenglin raised his head and looked at the undulating distant mountains, and took a breath of cold air in the cold wind.

In the eyes that have experienced the northwest wind and sand and faced the southeast waves, a flush gradually faded.

Even if it's heartbreaking? It's always a matter of making a choice.

The handsome man walked towards the mountain gate, and soon he could clearly see the apprehension and joy on the face of the woman in a white cloak and silver armor.

"Brother!"

Her voice was not loud, but Xu Chenglin could hear it clearly.

The corners of his mouth habitually raised a gentle smile, but the curvature only spread halfway.

is so heroic, he is born to be the sister of the woman of the Xu family, how can he bear it?

"Where's my mother, what about my father?"

The woman with a sparkle in her eyes was about to go to the mountain gate, but she saw her brother suddenly raise his hand and block her in front of her.

"Cheng Huan...... You, don't go in yet. ”

Xu Chenglin couldn't bear to say it decisively, let alone in front of Xu Chengru and Xu Chengle.

The two also hurriedly came over to salute:

"Big brother!"

Xu Chenglin nodded at them lightly, his bright eyes looked at Bai Chenghuan again, and a trace of pity flashed in his gloom:

"You go back first, and when my father and mother finish the rituals, I'll come back and talk to you." ”

"But my brother ......"

Bai Chenghuan endured his uneasiness, not knowing whether to cry or laugh:

"You are the queen of Xiaoyuan, do things, how can I not be there?"

The words "Queen Xiaoyuan", Bai Chenghuan bit it very clearly.

"Because Empress Xiaoyuan is the queen of the abolished emperor, and you are the queen canonized by the new emperor, how can Empress Xiaoyuan let you come to worship?"

Xu Chenglin endured the sadness in his heart, and said it in a high-sounding and meaningful way:

"The queen should also remember in the future that Xu Chenghuan, the queen of Xiaoyuan, is already dead. She is no longer there, and the third lady who used to be in Weibei Houfu no longer exists. Remember, Queen?"

From the gentle and intimate word "Cheng Huan" to the cold and distant word "Queen Mother", it seems to be just a sentence away.

But for Bai Chenghuan, it was a bottomless abyss that suddenly split in front of him-

"No, brother, she, why doesn't she exist?"

How could she not exist?!

What do you mean it doesn't exist anymore?!

"She has been buried in the imperial mausoleum, so, the Weiguo Mansion, there is no longer this daughter, that's it. ”

Xu Chenglin gritted his teeth and said this, turned around and left, his steps hurried.

In front of Xu Chengru and Xu Chengle, even if he wanted to patiently explain to his once cherished sister, he couldn't do it-

In his selfish heart, he still didn't want his younger siblings to know that Cheng Huan was no longer his mother's treasure.

But behind him came the sonorous sound of the hard iron armor hitting the bluestone ground.

Bai Chenghuan chased after him, and even staggered to the ground because he was too eager, grabbing the corner of his clothes tightly:

"Brother, why do you want to do this? What about my mother? I want to see my mother!"

Xu Chenglin subconsciously wanted to turn around, but he clutched his palm and held back.

She wore a battle armor and went out of the palace, probably to avoid people's eyes, but fortunately, her knees would not hurt so much when she fell to the ground like this.

"Let's go back. ”

The midday sun shone on his face, so dazzling that he could barely hold back his tears.

But he still only dropped three words, and then pulled the corner of his clothes out of her hand, and left without looking back.

"Brother!"

She got up from the ground and continued to chase, but for the first time, she found that she could no longer catch up with her brother's footsteps!

Qiu Yue ran over and helped Bai Chenghuan:

"Queen Mother, let's go back first!"

Bai Chenghuan stood firm under the support of Qiu Yue, but he still looked at the gate of Beishan Temple where Xu Chenglin disappeared, his expression was sad, and he refused to say a word or turn back.

Xu Chengru stood behind them, witnessing all this in silence.

Only at this time did she walk over and salute Bai Chenghuan:

"Queen Mother, mother is probably in a bad mood, why don't you go back to the palace first? After all, this matter is a family affair of the Weiguo Mansion, and the eldest brother is probably afraid of disturbing you. ”

The cold wind in the mountains passed, Bai Chenghuan slowly turned his head, and his black and white eyes looked at Xu Chengru coldly.

Xu Chengru lowered her head, but Bai Chenghuan could still feel the raised eyebrows in her words.

"The family affairs of the Weiguo Mansion?So eldest sister, am I an outsider?"

"The queen is just the righteous daughter of the Weiguo Mansion. ”

Xu Chengru replied calmly.

Even if the woman in front of her is the queen, Xu Chengru also feels that at this moment, she should stand her own position.

No matter how much the queen favored the harem, she never brought her any benefits, but took away her mother's favor after the third sister left.

And what she can rely on in this life will always be her maiden Weiguo Mansion.

Bai Chenghuan suddenly felt cold all over.

Her family was obviously in the temple not far away, just behind her, but she was abandoned by all of them.

Qiu Yue saw that after Bai Chenghuan heard Xu Chengru's words, she didn't say a word, but her face became pale, she was anxious, and her resentful words blurted out without thinking:

"Mrs. Dong, what do you mean by the Weiguo Mansion? At first, when we were able to use our queen's mother, we were closer than our own daughters, but now we don't need it, so we have become outsiders?"

"Autumn Moon!"

Bai Chenghuan stopped Qiu Yue from hugging her upset, turned his head and didn't look at Xu Chengru again.

It's not worth it anymore.

From the time she quarreled with Xu Chengru because of Xu Chengyi's matter, she had already glimpsed the secret of Xu Chengru's heart.

Maybe Xu Chenghuan is dead, Xu Chengyi has completely fallen out with his mother, Xu Chengru has had a trace of joy in his heart, right?

She is no longer the concubine who can only be seen in her mother's afterglow, she even hopes to replace Xu Chenghuan and become the only daughter that her mother puts on the tip of her heart.

It's a pity that the appearance of her righteous daughter once again took away all the favor of her mother.

Therefore, if there is another noble lady at this moment, she will come to comfort her in a decent way and leave a good impression on her.

But Xu Chengru, even if it is comforting, has to bring a hard thorn, which makes her feel painful.

Sisters, what else is there to say?

Xu Chengle couldn't help frowning in the distance.

He can probably guess a few points of the eldest sister's thoughts, but at this time, is it the time to be willful?

Although their status and current situation will not have much future to please the queen, there is no need to offend her.

Xu Chengle took a few steps forward, wanting to secretly remind Xu Chengru of a few words.

But only listening to the sonorous sound of the iron, Bai Chenghuan suddenly pulled out the sword he was carrying and straddled the neck of the little novice who was blocked in front of them again:

"Get out of the way!"

"Queen Mother, I can't let the little monk let me!"

The little novice was startled at first, but soon showed a bit of backbone and resolutely refused to let in.

And the warrior monks guarding outside the temple gate in the distance swept towards them.

It is not unreasonable that just a small novice who entertains guests can guard the mountain gate of Beishan Temple.

But Bai Chenghuan was desperate.

She withdrew her sword with a snort, and with a cold expression, she rushed towards the temple gate with a cold expression:

"Okay! This palace won't kill you, but this palace wants to see who dares to touch me!"

The land of Buddhism is not stained with dust, and she is not afraid of power, right? Then she wants to try to overwhelm people with power today!

The little novice and the warrior monks were also stunned, watching Bai Chenghuan walk towards the temple gate, and indeed no one dared to step forward to move her-

Even if they are Buddhists, they have heard of the new emperor's love for this queen mother!

If they do it today, it is difficult to guarantee that Beishan Temple will not be ordered by the emperor to step on it!

For the first time in his life, Bai Chenghuan relied on his power and walked into Beishan Temple all the way unimpeded, leaving only Xu Chengru and Xu Chengle with a murderous and arrogant back.

Power is the best thing in the world.

Xu Chengle sighed in his heart.

In the hall, the Duchess of Weiguo resumed chanting, but she was always restless.

The sound of the door pushing the door sounded again, and there was the sound of footsteps gently entering, mixed with the sound of armor rubbing, the sound of kneeling on the ground.

Duchess Weiguo thought that her son had returned.

"Did she go back?"

There was no answer for a long time.

After a moment of silence, Duchess Weiguo finally couldn't help but open her eyes.

What suddenly caught her eye was a look of apprehension and pleading, and the owner of these eyes was reaching out to pull the hem of her clothes.

Duchess Weiguo retreated as if she had been burned, and the whole person fell out of the futon under her knees.

"Mother. ”

Bai Cheng cared about the heartache of not being disliked by his mother, and longingly stretched out his hands to the woman with a cold expression.

Duchess Weiguo once again dodged those hands, and her words were full of mockery, but with anxiety that she couldn't control:

"The queen mother knows that she is pregnant, and she still wants to run to this barren mountain and remote mountains! Don't you know that pregnant women are the most taboo and bumpy? Do you want the emperor to turn his anger and condemn our Weiguo Mansion?"
