Chapter 197: Secret

The two women were chatting about their hearts, but Xue Ying was even more confused. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info especially Tai said that she snatched all the emperor's women away for the sake of King Sui, what does that mean?

The Queen Mother finally recovered from her grief: "In the future, you don't have to say good things for Song'er in front of the emperor, the emperor is not happy, and he will spill his anger on you." For me, for Song'er and the emperor, you have done enough over the years, and you have suffered a lot of grievances. Thank you. ”

The queen cried even more, and the aggrieved look made Xue Ying cry together.

"However, this child was given to Song'er by the emperor, and she is Jiajun's biological daughter, presumably the emperor has a little affection for her, so I beg you to take care of her in the future. Anyway, let Song'er have a descendant to inherit the incense, so that I can rest assured. ”

The queen choked back her tears, forced a smile and raised three fingers and swore: "I will, I promise." ”

In Xue Ying's impression, the queen has always been as soft and gentle as water, but now that she is smiling, she has a bit of playfulness, which makes her faintly see what the queen looked like when she was young.

She remembered that the queen was given to the emperor by the first emperor, but when the first emperor was in power, the first queen mother was the real ruler. In other words, the queen is actually the wife that the former empress dowager found for the emperor.

The first Empress Dowager, Jiang Li, was named Empress Wuren after her death. She vigorously promoted the new policy and promoted the status of women during the period of the curtain to listen to the government, so when she chose a wife for her children and grandchildren, she was not limited by her background, but paid more attention to character and quality. The Queen Mother and the Queen were both vibrant, kind and atmospheric women, so they were loved by her.

It's a pity that Jiang Li is a person of this era after all, so she doesn't know that no matter how good the woman she chooses for her son and grandchildren, she can't compare to the one they like.

The Queen Mother looked at Xue Ying, and the wisdom in her eyes tempered by the years made her chuckle in her heart.

"Do you know why I'm saying this in front of you?"

Xue Ying shook her head.

"Because I want you to remember what we said today when you make your choices in the future. Everyone has his own troubles, you are the daughter of Song'er, you must have been sad for him when you heard about him, right? But after listening to our words today? Do you think that whether it is me, the queen, or the emperor who is high, there is something pitiful about him?"

Xue Ying nodded. The Buddha said, "All living beings are suffering." She thought so before, but today she really realized the meaning of this sentence again.

Jiang Li was very pitiful, she struggled all her life to improve the status of women, but the new system implemented gradually collapsed after her death; the first emperor was very pitiful, but as the emperor, he became a puppet of his mother all his life; King Sui was very pitiful, because of his father's willfulness and anger fell from a high position to the dust; the queen mother was very pitiful, seeing her son turn against each other in order to compete for the throne; the emperor was very pitiful, although he ascended to the throne with the help of his father, he saw his mother in pain and was powerless, and the mother and son suffered and tortured each other for more than 20 years.

These are the people who sit at the top of the power, but so what, fate still won't be kind to them.

Therefore, when making a choice, you can't look at who is pitiful, let alone affect your own decision because of sympathy, the more important the choice, the more you should pay attention to this. ”

"But, what choice can I have?" Xue Ying didn't understand.

The Queen Mother sighed and said in a deep voice: "When the queen mother was alive, she always regarded Song'er, that is, your father King Sui, as the heir to the throne. She was too sure of this and never thought of another possibility, so she passed over the first emperor and handed over a secret that could affect Dagu Jiangshan to Song'er, and asked Song'er to swear that this secret could only be passed on to his heir, that is, the next emperor. But now it is Mian'er who has ascended the throne, and Song'er has no heirs, so the secret is always only known to Mian'er. ”

Xue Ying's face turned white.

It finally makes sense!

The emperor passed her over to King Sui in order for her to inherit the "secret". That secret is too important, no matter who it is handed over, the emperor is not at ease. And she is the daughter of his most trusted minister, Xue Qi, but she is isolated and helpless, and even her father doesn't like her, so she has become the best candidate.

At that time, the emperor was distressed by this matter, and wanted to find a person who was easy to control, trustworthy and able to block the world's long mouths to obtain the "secret";

Two smart people, what better idea could there be?

"King Sui won't tell me, right? I was given to him by the emperor, he won't believe me!" Xue Ying was a little panicked.

The Queen Mother ruthlessly pierced her illusion: "Only the emperor can let you enter the royal family tree, and only the emperor can make you the rightful heir of Song'er." He didn't have a choice. ”

"So what should I do?" she muttered. If she really inherited the secret of King Sui, will she continue to keep it, or will she tell the secret to the emperor?

If she wants to keep it, how can she contend with the imperial power? If she turns around and sells the secret to the emperor, how can she be worthy of the trust of King Sui? Besides, it is a secret that can affect the stability of the country after all, and if it is handed over to her, doesn't it mean that her choice will affect the fate of thousands of people?

"That's your choice, kid. The Queen Mother looked at her with pity, "No one can help you make a decision." ”

Xue Ying really wanted to cry without tears now.

She still felt pitiful for these people just now, but no matter how pitiful they were, they were the powerful people who could play with her in the palm of their hands. They were all trying to take advantage of her, but she didn't know how to protect herself.

The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are probably the only people who have pity on her, so the Queen Mother will ask the Queen Mother to take good care of her in the future before she dies. But the queen can't protect herself in the face of this kind of thing, so how can she take care of her?

After the Queen Mother said so many words, the light on her face finally gradually dimmed, and she was filled with a heavy and dead air again. "Okay, you guys go out and let the emperor come in. ”

Coming out of the Queen Mother's bedroom, Xue Ying's head was in chaos, and looking up at the oppressive and solemn environment around her made her breathless. Led by Mama, she came to a somewhat familiar place, and she thought for a while before she remembered that she had been here during the last attack - this was the emperor's meeting room.

was thinking hard about the reason why the emperor asked her to come here, and when she raised her eyes and saw the person standing inside, her steps paused, and her heart suddenly tightened.

"Politics Lord. "Mama saluted.

"Mama Cao," Xue Qi looked like he had lost a lot of weight compared to two years ago, but he still had the same demeanor, and the cyan stubble on his chin that had not had time to be repaired made him look more mature and stable, "Is the Queen Mother's Holy Body good?"
