Chapter 354: Aunt and Nephew Confront
At this moment, in the Chengluan Palace, the Empress Dowager Meng had already woken up, and was waving back left and right, talking to Chi Zuosi alone: "I never thought that my Meng clan would end up planted on such an inconspicuous child......"
"It's all slaves and maids who are not good, I should tell you slowly, now that there is such a trouble, not only the Grand Commander will be suspicious, but your phoenix body ......" Chi Zuosi knelt on the side of the couch and said in a low voice, "It's all slaves and maids who are incompetent!"
"This is the mourning family's own uselessness, and it has affected you. Empress Dowager Meng sighed and said, "Where can I blame you? You repeatedly asked the mourning family to prepare and open your mouth, and the mourning family thought that it could hold on, who knows...... I don't know why the younger brothers, nephews, nieces and nephews, so many younger generations have gone, why do the mourning family still live here, listening to these heart-wrenching things?"
Chi Zuosi comforted: "Niangniang, now that the hussar general has suddenly woken up, there is no possibility of returning to the Central Plains in the future!
"What else is the washing method?" When Empress Dowager Meng heard this, she slowly shed tears and said sadly, "The Meng family is withered now, but it is not only the Boqin family. The scattered heirs don't say it, just say that they are close to Chang'an, aren't there still Gui Yu and Gui Han at this time? The mourning family is the queen mother of Da Mu, and the nephew actually defected to the enemy country, Gui Yu came to discuss with the mourning family to expel his family from the ancestral hall, do you think the mourning family can refuse?"
"In this way, he has nothing to do with the Meng family in the future, whether he washes it or not...... What's the point?"
"What's more, the situation on Ruru's side, the mourning family has also heard of it, the Khan who disappeared earlier, called Dengchen Liyu, is very vicious, when he was the prince, he was jealous of his younger brother's favor and designed the future of Fuzhen, so he ascended to the throne. β
"That Fuzhen was originally naΓ―ve and ignorant, but after this change, he was also scheming, and now he finally survived Dengchen Liyu, pressed down a nephew and nephew, and ascended the throne himself!"
"Such a person, the city government can imagine!"
"Boqin wants to return to Da Mu under his hands?"
"The mourning family now only hopes that Fu Zhen can have the idea of a thousand gold and treat the Boqin family well!"
said with tears in his eyes, "What kind of fate is this of the mourning family? If you want to say that it is a hard life, you have finally achieved the queen mother, which is a dignity that many people dare not think of; if you want to say a good life, you are still favored by the emperor when you are very old, and you don't even have a grown grandson under your knees, even if it is your own granddaughter!"
"I used to think that my mother's family was very prosperous, and the children were in and out, looking lively, and I didn't worry about being old and lonely. β
"Who would have thought that all of them were young at this time, and they were left alone here, thinking that there was still Boqin in northern Xinjiang, and there were also Guiyu brothers by his side, which could be comforted to some extent. Now...... Nowadays......"
The Queen Mother couldn't help but cry!
Chi Zuosi also cried with her, the master and servant hugged their heads and cried for a while, seeing that the Queen Mother's face was wrong, Chi Zuosi remembered the advice of the Imperial Doctor, which was to say that the Queen Mother could not be excited at this time, and hurriedly hugged her to comfort, so that she could say something wrong, and the Queen Mother stabilized her mind and talked to her about the future: "Since Gui Yu can even be so calculating, it shows that he is ruthless, and the six relatives do not recognize it! Even if the mourning family is his aunt, and he has taken care of him a lot in the past, he will definitely not admit it at this time." If there is only one mourning family, he has already lived enough, so he simply argues with him about the merits, he wants to kill the mourning family, and the mourning family doesn't care!"
"But the emperor is still there, and there is an old man like you...... The mourning family has to spend a few days with him...... This world is always the emperor's world, and his reckless behavior is by no means a long-term way, and he has never been a day before he asks for justice for his family!"
After comforting and encouraging herself in this way, the Queen Mother drank the ginseng tea handed over by Chi Zuosi, and then settled down, and heard a palace person approaching outside, and raised a voice through the door, saying that Meng Guiyu came to visit the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother thought of what happened to Meng Boqin's family, although she decided to perfunctory with Meng Guiyu, she was still a little angry, but she didn't want Meng Guiyu to see it, so she whispered to Chi Zuosi: "You told him that the mourning family hasn't woken up yet, and is still asleep, tell him not to disturb!"
Chi Zuosi promised to go out and told Meng Guiyu, but Meng Guiyu smiled when he heard this, and said: "Zuosi, your eyes are red, your face is not dry with tears, and you have only cried with your aunt at first glance, otherwise your aunt is still asleep after taking medicine, are you crying and crying alone?"
"The Queen Mother woke up just now, but she cried for a while, and the slave and maid also cried for a while, and then fell asleep again. Hearing this, Chi Zuosi hurriedly added, "Didn't the Imperial Doctor just say? β
Meng Guiyu said: "However, the imperial doctor also said that my aunt can't be stimulated at this time. If my aunt didn't know about the affairs of Northern Xinjiang in the morning, it would be fine, since she knew, if she didn't tell her aunt clearly, my aunt would have to think about it...... In this way, what should I do if I affect my mind again and hurt my body?"
"So why don't I come and talk to my aunt about the ins and outs, my aunt is happy when I look back, and after the heart disease is gone, she will heal quickly!"
Chi Zuosi frowned when he heard this, and said in his heart, "This guy shouldn't have noticed that the Queen Mother and I knew what he was doing in private, so I didn't do anything, and I simply came to anger the Queen Mother, right?
She was so suspicious, and the subconscious movement of her feet completely blocked Meng Guiyu's way into the dormitory, and said in a deep voice: "When the Queen Mother woke up just now, she already wanted to open it, and she didn't worry about it anymore, so the Grand Commander should not worry, or stay, so as not to disturb the Niangniang placement!"
But the Empress Dowager Meng inside has been listening to the movement outside with her ears pricked up.
Originally, the Queen Mother thought that Meng Guiyu was just running over to visit her politely, and Chi Zuosi would be clean when she went out to send it away. Unexpectedly, she wanted to talk to herself about Meng Boqin, what did she mean for Meng Boqin, and at this time, listening to Meng Guiyu's various rebuttals that Chi Zuosi wanted to meet herself, her mind was spinning, and she was a little annoyed: "The mourning family has decided to endure this breath first, but you don't give up?
She didn't believe it, even if this nephew calculated his cousin and monopolized the legacy of the Meng family in Da Mu, in the end, the foundation is shallow, and he dares to kill his aunt at this time?
Thinking like this, Empress Dowager Meng only felt a wave of anger rushing up in her chest, so she snorted coldly and commanded Chi Zuosi: "Let him come in!"
Chi Zuosi was stunned when he heard this, and politely objected to two sentences, and when he saw that the Queen Mother insisted, he reluctantly got out of the way.
"Auntie, how are you doing now?" Meng Guiyu smiled at Chi Zuosi, walked inside, and went to the Queen Mother's sickbed to salute and say goodbye, and finally saw that the Queen Mother only looked at him coldly, and did not scream, so he straightened up and asked affectionately, "I just heard that you fainted, but it really frightened my nephew!"
Empress Dowager Meng said lukewarmly: "Oh, you're frightened, the mourning family still thinks you're very happy! Otherwise, how could Chi Zuosi tell you that the mourning family is lacking, and you still have to entangle and talk to her there, and wake up the mourning family?"
"It turns out that my nephew is arguing with my aunt?" Meng Guiyu heard this, and hurriedly showed an apologetic expression, and said guiltily, "Auntie, I'm really sorry! My nephew doesn't know that talking outside will make you noisy." My nephew thinks this door is very thick and can be soundproofed!"
The Queen Mother said coldly: "Don't say any of these gossips...... Now that you are the commander of the forbidden army, you have every opportunity, how can you have time to come to the mourning family?"
"Auntie, the nephew you said is more and more ashamed, these days, the fighting on the other side of the Tasha River has not stopped, the nephew is young and knowledgeable, lest he have the trust of his aunt and His Majesty and Shu Niangniang, so he sleeps at night, and does not dare to slack off in the slightest!" Meng Guiyu sighed lightly and said, "It is because I neglected to come to my aunt to say goodbye...... Otherwise, your nephew has always loved to run towards you, hasn't he?"
Empress Dowager Meng was reminded of her previous memories by these words, and her eyes were complicated: "You used to love to run towards the mourning family, but this time and then, now you no longer need the support of the mourning family, but the mourning family needs to rely on you, no wonder you don't come over much." β
"Why did my aunt say this?" Meng Guiyu frowned and said, "My nephew said last time, in my nephew's mind, you are as kind as your biological mother!
"......," the Queen Mother was silent for a while, and said, "That's it, these words...... Didn't you say that you want to talk to the mourning family about the affairs of Boqin, and you want the mourning family to feel comfortable and no longer remember?"
Meng Guiyu then looked at Chi Zuosi.
The Queen Mother snorted: "Chi Zuosi has always been loyal to the mourning family, what can't he hear?"
Meng Guiyu confessed, and said straight to the point: "Auntie, can you suspect that the third brother is treason and has something to do with her nephew?"
"The mourning family only knows that Boqin voted for Ruru, and they don't know anything about the cause and effect!" The Queen Mother said lightly, "How could you ask such a question? Is there such a rumor outside?"
"Actually, this idea was really given by my nephew to the third brother's subordinates. Meng Guiyu smiled and said calmly, "It's just that it is said that after the third brother seriously considered it at that time, he also accepted it gladly...... Why is it that only a few people know about this matter in Chang'an and Lin Yuan at this time, and my aunt knows about it and ignores her nephew? Could it be that the third brother regretted it halfway, so he sent someone to complain to his aunt at this time?"
Empress Dowager Meng originally thought that he would try his best to quibble and deny, and she was ready to question him for a while and then reluctantly believe him, not wanting Meng Guiyu to admit it all generously, which made the Empress Dowager stunned, and instantly thought, is this nephew planning to completely tear his face with himself, or is he going to kill himself?
was stunned, but heard Meng Guiyu say, "My nephew knows that my aunt has always trusted the third brother, and now the third brother is under the command of the third brother, and if I come to tell my grievances, my aunt must be distressed! But can you ask your aunt to read that your nephew is also watching you grow up, and let your nephew defend one or two, so as not to fall into a gap between aunt and nephew?"
He raised his head, tears seemed to flash in his eyes, "After all, the Meng clan has suffered a great change, and the people are withered. Now that Chang'an is near, there are only a few of our aunts and nephews left, if we still have to be suspicious of each other, what does it mean for our nephews to live?"
ββ¦β¦ Since you know that the Meng family has withered after the great change, how can you be willing to ask Boqin to do such a humiliating thing to bully the teacher and destroy the ancestors?!" The Queen Mother listened, and burst into tears and said sadly, "The Mourning family knows the grievances you have had in the clan, but if you want to talk about grievances, the Meng family is up and down, who can be more wronged than the Mourning family?
"If it weren't for the death of the mourning family and the emperor, how could there be today?"
"Even if the first emperor goes, the mourning family becomes the queen mother, but she just let Concubine Rou give the first emperor a funeral, and she can't even clean up Guangling and the Mo family!"
"After that, I was lonely and widowed in the main hall of Xinshou Palace!"
"Within a few years, I began to be angry with the Shu sisters again!"
"At this point, most of my life has passed, and I don't know how many years I have to live, I don't have any grandchildren and grandchildren, and the emperor is not very close to the mourning family.
"But now, Meng Shi is gone!!"
The old queen mother raised her sleeves to hide her face and cried, "It's all this time, one is not good, the ancestral hall is difficult to survive, between brothers, still thinking about intrigue, is it still human?!"
