Chapter 340: Family Banquet (28)
That face, how could Cheng Qing not recognize it.
Even though she is much older, even if her beauty is no longer there.
But that face, he will never forget.
He turned his head, wanting to see the film's reaction, but he didn't want it to be empty.
Yes, he had heard that she was not dead, and he knew that King Rui would not give him any chance if he wanted to defeat him.
But when he actually saw this face with his own eyes, he couldn't help but start to tremble.
There was no expression on that face, no emotion.
Even though she accepted the countless stares around her, she was still indifferent and terrifying.
"I've seen the emperor. ”
The expected old, hoarse voice.
Cheng Qing looked at her and didn't dare to blink at all.
When Concubine Li saw Cheng Qing's reaction, she already had a little understanding in her heart.
Who else can make a woman like Cheng Qing but his biological mother?
She looked sideways and saw the pale Queen Mother and her expressionless father.
"Cheng Qing ......."
She whispered to him, even tugging at his sleeve.
But he didn't react, as if he was unconscious, and he just stared at the woman silently.
The woman also received his gaze, and the two began to look at each other.
The air was filled with the strong smell of gunpowder.
Concubine Li also knew for the first time that there could be two mothers and sons in this world that were full of gunpowder.
"You're not dead?"
"Drag the emperor's blessing, I didn't die. ”
"But I don't want you to be blessed, so why can't you die quietly?"
"The first emperor didn't want to see my ........"
"Shut up! You deserve to mention him!"
"Your Majesty, you and I are only half a catty. ”
The woman was completely uninhibited.
She let go of Baiyu, who was holding her on the side, with a cane in her hand that she didn't know when.
"Don't try to put all your faults on me, back then, why did you want me to die so much, I guess I can't mention it now, right?"
As she walked, she said, a cane that looked incredibly dexterous in her hand.
"Now, shut up immediately!"
Cheng Qing slapped the table and stood up.
The wine glass on the table fell as he moved.
The ministers who were kneeling on the ground once again buried their heads.
The prime minister stood to the side, squinting at the woman who was approaching them step by step.
"How is the princess doing?"
He saluted the woman, and there was no emotion in his tone.
It's like it's a routine.
"I don't think the relationship between me and the prime minister is as good as if you saluted me........."
The woman stopped as she passed him.
"I wonder if she's okay? After all these years, I think she's doing well, right?"
The prime minister's face suddenly turned white.
He bent over and bit his lip tightly.
"She's fine...... Thank you for your concern........"
"I miss her so much, and her daughter........."
After the woman finished speaking, she walked forward on her own.
But the prime minister had already begun to tremble violently.
Mochen stood behind him, looking at the prime minister who had suddenly changed.
Although he was a little curious about what was going on, he silently held his trembling body and didn't ask.
There are some things that he knows now and what he will know in the future, which is very different.
"Mochen....... Keep an eye on the woman. ”
Even when he got to this point where he was trembling, the prime minister still didn't forget to do his part.
"Got it. ”
Mochen responded in a low voice.
What he should pay more attention to now should be the woman who knelt in the distance and pretended to be dead.
Xia Qing is definitely the lowest buried one among everyone.
She had just escaped, and now she didn't dare to make a sound even if she died.
She turned her head, and sure enough, she saw the gossipy girls.
Although they were buried, their ears were just as high as those of the adults.
The gossip they hear now is what they talk about when they are bored in the dance room.
Every year, only the dance room before the banquet will be busy, so seize the time to practice.
The rest of the time, the girls prefer to be bored in the dance room and chat.
The chattering materials on weekdays are also scavenged around the palace.
Although they are all eldest ladies, they really don't lose anyone when it comes to gossip.
Watch them stare at the ground one by one, listening to the appearance of all directions. Xia Qing could almost imagine them rolling up their sleeves together, sipping melon seeds, and chatting with each other in their voices.
"Your Majesty, count, how many years have we not seen each other?"
The woman had already walked in front of Cheng Qing.
She looked up, and there were even more lines on her neck.
The years have really left too much on her.
"If I could, I wish you were dead. I don't need to see you for the rest of my life. ”
"Your Majesty, don't say that. Now here, the kneeling are all the courtiers who trust you, are you really not afraid of saying that?"
"Afraid, Cheng Hua, I have never been afraid of anything in this life, but what I am afraid of is you as a woman!"
He excitedly raised his hand and pointed at the woman's nose.
"Do you think that if you abandoned me and walked away, I would not know anything? You are so ridiculous, how can there be an impermeable wall in this world? Do you think they are all blind and can't see? It's funny. They already knew. Told by your partner. ”
After hearing this, the woman turned her head to look at Bai Yushi.
Bai Youshi raised his hands and said he didn't know.
King Rui turned his head and did not speak.
"It turns out that I know ........."
The woman withdrew her sharp gaze and turned to look at Cheng Qing, "So, are you planning to kill all these people, right? Just like back then, kill everyone who knows your secrets, one by one?"
As soon as her words fell, the people below couldn't help but tremble.
Why hasn't anyone talked about it?
"No matter who I kill, no matter what I do, it's none of your business. ”
As soon as Cheng Qing finished saying this, the people below trembled even more.
No, are you really going to kill them?
Xia Qing didn't tremble, she was more worried now about whether the meeting would burn her again.
She has been recognized by Cheng Qing, and now she finally has another protagonist, but it turns out to be her old acquaintance again.
She doesn't feel anything but crying now.
She rested her head against the cold ground, and the people around her looked at her strangely.
She smiled awkwardly, there was nothing she could do but do it.
"I just want to advise you not to have too much blood on your hands. People like you can't even go to hell when you die. ”
The woman put her crutches aside and kicked Decai, who was kneeling to the side.
"Hey, do you know where the old woman of the Queen Mother is?"
"Too ...... Wife........ Too... After ......."
Decai stammered and couldn't call the queen mother.
He looked up and saw Cheng Qing looking at him with a foolish look.
"Where is the Queen Mother?"
The woman seemed to be a little impatient, and picked up the cane on one side, as if she was planning to slash at Decai.
"Hongu is here. ”
Another voice rang out from the side.
