Chapter 80: Houling Suspicions

"Now, are you going back?" Dongfang Yunrui asked her, he was unwilling to let her go back so early, after all, one was waiting for the boudoir, and the other had not yet married, so naturally it could not be common, and it was good to stay for a while.

"Hmm." Murong Qingxue obviously didn't notice his expression, after the emperor summoned him, he naturally wanted to go back.

The two walked forward silently, and neither of them spoke. But even without saying a word, the atmosphere is by no means awkward.

When I arrived at the palace gate, I suddenly found it empty. Murong Qingxue slapped her head and smiled, regretting why she didn't leave a carriage before.

smiled embarrassedly at Dongfang Yunrui, the other party already understood what she meant.

After whistling, a white horse galloped from afar, stopped in front of Dongfang Yunrui, and shook his head at him to express his affection. He reached out and gently stroked the mane on the horse's neck, and smiled at Murong Qingxue: "This king will send you back." ”

Carefully helped her onto the horse, Dongfang Yunrui also jumped up and sat behind her. He took the reins and asked her, "Are you seated?" ”

Murong Qingxue nodded. She has always only taken a carriage, and she has only taken a horse a few times in her life, but this time she is so down-to-earth that she doesn't have to deliberately return.

The white horse received the order and galloped happily, the wind in his ears whistling, blowing the hair of the two men a little messy.

"Actually, I'm in a bad mood today, can you stay with me for a while?" Dongfang Yunrui suddenly said softly in her ear.

Murong Qingxue's heart sank, he had always been confident and resolute in front of him, but now, listening to this voice was a little fragile, which made her feel inexplicably sad.

"Hmm." She nodded, without thinking. It was so natural to say, leaning on him a little tighter.

After receiving her reply, Dongfang Yunrui immediately turned his horse's head and galloped towards a place.

Houling.

When these two words came into view, Murong Qingxue suddenly understood.

Dismount and walk side by side.

"Yun Rui, do you miss your mother?" Murong Qingxue asked softly. Today is a day of celebration. But Dongfang Haonan has Concubine Lin. There is a queen in the dust, only Yun Rui, and her mother is lying in the coffin of this empty Houling. She had a smile on her face. But his body was already cold, so why didn't he move.

He walked slowly to the coffin and looked quietly at his mother, the former queen. When he was born, he was naturally graceful and luxurious. Mother of the world. It's dead, and that's it. As if there was never a zài, there are a few people who can remember her.

"The queen mother, since the age of thirteen, has followed her father and married a wife. We share in adversity, but we do not share in prosperity. I was no more than twelve when she left. Now, it's been seven years since I left. His eyes were serene and clear. Like a bend of clear spring; His voice was also soft, as if he was recalling the oldest and most unforgettable jì in his memory.

Murong Qingxue listened to him quietly, in her previous life, she had never seriously understood him, and in this life, she had to understand his every thing, whether it was in the past or now.

"Qingxue, do you remember the first time we met?" Dongfang Yunrui suddenly asked her, of course she would not forget it, and nodded.

"Actually, that day was the day of my mother's sacrifice. Every time that time comes, I come over and spend the whole day with her. It's just that I didn't expect that in the place where my mother is buried, there will be a you to accompany me on the road ahead. There was a gleam of joy in his eyes.

Murong Qingxue understood his mood and looked at him with a smile.

"Is it because of this reason that I called your name, and you didn't blame me, but accompanied me out of the Houling?"

Dongfang Yunrui nodded, and glanced at the coffin again: "Since my mother left, no one will call my name like that." I would have thought that when the queen mother saw that I was lonely, she would come to accompany me. When I see you, I know it's not. My heart was very confused, so I left in a hurry that day. ”

I see. Murong Qingxue also understood, maybe it was the early death of the queen mother that made him so indifferent and didn't care about anything. If you care less about something, you will naturally be invincible.

In order to ease his mood, Murong Qingxue said with a smile: "Prince Rui is so handsome and chic, then the first queen must also be a country and a city." Can I take a look at her? ”

Dongfang Yunrui also smiled and pulled her over.

She looked in, and there was a beautiful woman lying serenely, surrounded by flowers. Murong Qingxue suddenly felt that if she lived, these flowers would also be eclipsed. Huayi brocade clothes are more delicate than flowers, but with the departure of people, all of them have disappeared, and they will no longer exist, and they sigh secretly in their hearts.

Looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color. Although the queen mother has gone, I imagine that when she is alive, she must be a favored harem. Although I only said a few words to the emperor today, I think he must be very worried about the queen in his heart, otherwise, he would not ......."

"Won't it be anything?" Seeing that she didn't continue, Dongfang Yunrui continued to ask.

However, Murong Qingxue didn't plan to say it further, so she wouldn't let her say that because the emperor missed the first queen, he wanted to become Yunrui, so he canceled the idea of marrying Dongfang Haonan

"Nothing. May I ask what caused your mother's death? Murong Qingxue asked, I don't know why, she always felt that the queen's death was very strange. Especially when I thought of the weak Concubine Lin, the queen mother of her previous life, I shuddered in my heart.

Although he didn't understand why she asked, Dongfang Yunrui still recalled the scene at that time: "On that day, the queen mother held a banquet to entertain the harem concubines, and I didn't stay because I asked the master to practice swords. By the time Ling Ran got me back, the queen mother was already dying. She took my hand and only had time to call my name, and before she could say anything, she was gone. The doctor said that the queen mother died of poisoning. ”

Yun Rui's eyes looked at the woman in the coffin, with a tender face, which showed the deep love between mother and son.

"On that day, was the queen poisoned alone?" Murong Qingxue asked, since they were eating at the same table, why were the rest of the people all fine, but the queen was gone.

Yun Rui said: "Yes, later the imperial doctor checked and said that the food eaten by the queen mother at the banquet that day was in conflict with what she had eaten before, and the food was incompatible, so she was poisoned." Discovered later. This is the only way to die. ”

"Is it really food that fights each other? Not for some other reason? Murong Qingxue obviously didn't believe this explanation, because in her opinion, what kind of place was the imperial dining room, and the food in each palace would be reasonably arranged every day, how could she make such a low-level mistake.

"Qingxue, do you suspect anything else?" Dongfang Yunrui obviously didn't expect her to ask such a question. I was surprised. Stunned.

"Are the imperial physicians and the deacon in charge of the dining room still there?"

Dongfang Yunrui shook his head, he remembered that the queen was poisoned and died. The imperial physician failed to heal and was sent to serve at the border gate, and the deacon of the dining room committed suicide.

Murong Qingxue nodded, and then asked, "Has Concubine Lin's body always been sick?" Still, it's only so weak from a certain time. ”

That's it. Yun Rui understands everything. The look on his face became solemn, and he said slowly, "That's right. Concubine Lin's health deteriorated after the death of her mother, and the imperial doctor also checked it, saying that she was worried too much. ”

At the end, Dongfang Yunrui looked at her: "Qingxue." Do you know what makes you ask? ”

Murong Qingxue shook her head, she didn't know anything, but she overheard the conversation between Concubine Lin and Dongfang Haonan behind the rockery today. Coupled with the various means by which she ascended to the throne of the queen mother in her previous life, she unconsciously put her and this matter together.

Come to think of it. She told Dongfang Yunrui about the one she heard behind the rockery, including the two choices that Concubine Lin gave to Dongfang Haonan. Thinking of the Taiqing Palace's qiē just now, Murong Qingxue had already determined that Dongfang Haonan chose the second option.

If nothing else, Concubine Lin will win over Qianlan in the future, and use the marriage to gain the bargaining chips of the Xuanbing Kingdom to support Dongfang Haonan.

is such a delicate abacus that even counts her. It is estimated that he is afraid that Yun Rui will not agree to the marriage, so he will marry her first, as long as she is married, then Dongfang Yunrui can marry whoever he wants. Mourning is better than heart death, they are so shrewd.

It's just, how can there be such a smooth thing? If it is found out that Concubine Lin has an ulterior relationship with the death of the former queen, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to their mother and son. Where did he ascend the throne as the emperor after that, and how did he come to the respect of the queen mother?

Dongfang Yunrui clenched his fists, although he was harmless to the tiger, but the tiger hurt people's hearts. In that case, don't blame him for being polite. He looked at Murong Qingxue, and the perseverance in his eyes was clear at a glance.

Seeing him like this, Murong Qingxue preemptively said, "Yun Rui, let's go to the border pass, find the imperial doctor, and find out the cause of your mother's death that year." ”

If there is anyone in the world who can know his thoughts with just one expression, it is undoubtedly Murong Qingxue.

Dongfang Yunrui smiled, but then his face was embarrassed: "In the bitter cold land of the border pass, you will accompany me with a girl, I can't rest assured." I'll just go alone. ”

Murong Qingxue shook his head: "Do you think that without me, you can find out by yourself?" If it weren't for me, would you have found out something strange about the death of the queen mother? ”

Dongfang Yunrui looked at her and suddenly smiled, Murong Qingxue was very satisfied with this reaction, and also smiled.

"Do you know why I'm laughing?" Dongfang Yunrui asked her.

Murong Qingxue didn't understand at this time, and her intuition told her that there would definitely be a trap waiting for her.

But he still mustered up the courage and timidly asked, "Say, why are you laughing?" ”

Dongfang Yunrui deliberately sold off, but asked her instead: "What was that sentence you said before, recall it yourself." ”

What was said before? Murong Qingxue tried hard to recall, as if there was nothing wrong with it.

Looking at her confused appearance, Dongfang Yunrui was very happy, he pointed at her forehead with his hand, and said, "You just said that without you, you wouldn't have found out that the queen mother's death was strange." ”

Murong Qingxue nodded, what's wrong with this, she is telling the truth.

"Let's go." Dongfang Yunrui didn't continue to speak, turned around and left, which aroused Murong Qingxue's curiosity, and what was the matter after talking halfway through.

So he caught up with him, grabbed him and asked, "What did you mean just now, what I said was wrong?" ”

"Okay, okay, I said." Dongfang Yunrui really couldn't resist her, turned to face her and said, "When you said it just now, you didn't call her the queen, nor did you say that it was my queen mother, but naturally called her the queen mother." Is this why someone has long regarded herself as her daughter-in-law, so she said it so naturally? ”

Murong Qingxue thought about it, as if she did say that, she blushed at the moment, turned around and left. But this time, he was stopped by Dongfang Yunrui, he looked into her eyes, and said seriously: "Qingxue, in fact, I am very happy to hear you call her like that." ”

She lowered her head, didn't look at him, was at a loss for a while, and was hugged into his arms: "I am waiting for the day of revenge to marry you and give tea to the queen mother." ”

At this time, the Queen's Mausoleum does not seem to be so empty, at least, there are still two lovers.

I don't know when I'll be here next time. Before leaving, Dongfang Yunrui looked deeply at the lying man again, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, wait for me." (To be continued.) )
