Chapter 116: The Man Behind the Scenes
Mo said that Mu Chenghuang was far away in the suburbs of Beijing and didn't know what Mu Qinyi's situation was, even if it was the Empress Dowager Pei who was also in the palace, she hadn't received news from outside for a few days, Shoukang Palace seemed to have become an island in this palace, and those concubines who came to ask for peace every day also received the meaning of the emperor Mu Yuanan, saying that Empress Dowager Pei has been in poor health recently, and no one can disturb her, and Mu Yuanan herself goes to Jiahexuan every day to sit for a while, and when she is happy, sometimes she looks angry, and when she enters Jiahexuan, as soon as she comes out, her mood seems to be much more comfortableγ Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The concubines on the side saw it, and they dared not speak out, and they didn't know what way Hui Baolin in Jiahe Xuan could control the emperor's emotions so freely.
And Hui Baolin is regarded as the most thorn in the eye, naturally Zhao Meiren of Xiangye Hall, but fortunately, although the emperor always spends half a day in Jiahexuan, he occasionally stops by to see himself, but just a glance is not enough, thinking about it before, the emperor only went to three places when he came to the harem, Concubine Xi, Li Zhaoyuan and Zhao Meiren, she was quite convinced by the two people before, after all, the family background and years in the palace were all there, but after these two people were gone, it was her turn to suddenly kill Hui Baolin, what is this?
It was almost noon, the weather was a little stuffy, Zhao Meiren ordered someone to take her favorite ice ** cheese with fruits such as fragrant pear and cantaloupe, and then sprinkled a thin layer of walnut kernels with a small silver spoon to dig and eat, hey, when can she also make a nausea, no appetite or something like that, she touched her stomach, here, I'm afraid there is only this ice ** cheese, no children.
At this time, Feng Ying trotted in from outside with a smile, and said happily when she saw that there was no one else next to her: "Beauty, I heard that the emperor's face is even more ugly when he came out of Jiahexuan today than when he went in. β
Zhao Meiren put aside the silver spoon, although she did not go out of the door by herself, but she never relaxed her grasp of the situation on the side of Jiahexuan, and always took turns from time to time to send people in the palace to go around there, especially when the emperor went to Jiahexuan, so she also knew that the emperor frequently went in and out of Jiahexuan, but today, alas, that is to say, how can there be a snack that you can't get tired of.
"And then?" said Zhao Meiren's tone with indescribable pleasure.
Then the emperor went directly to Shoukang Palace. Feng Ying said.
Did you go to the Queen Mother? This one came out of Jiahe Xuan and went to the Queen Mother, could it be that this Hui Baolin really made a big mistake, and Mu Yuanan wanted the Queen Mother to come forward to solve it? Yo, that's not an ordinary trivial matter.
However, after the first few lessons, she is no longer such a reckless person, and she asked Feng Ying to confirm it several times, and it was determined that the emperor did lose his temper in Jiahexuan at that time, and the cup or something also fell, Zhao Meicai was busy asking Feng Ying to dress up for herself, and took this opportunity to go to Shoukang Palace by herself, and by the way, pretended to be kind and sensible.
At the same time, in Shoukang Palace, although Empress Dowager Pei couldn't go out for a few days, and no one came in to accompany her, but it didn't matter, she was already dedicated to the Buddha, and when no one bothered, she was chanting scriptures in the hall, sometimes kneeling was a morning, and there was less Yu Dong around, so there was only Mama Gu to accompany her, but these days were also considered leisure, and Mama Gu was also busy alone.
Empress Dowager Pei knelt in the hall, Mama Gu was guarding outside, today the Empress Dowager is kneeling for the longest time, before dawn, Empress Dowager Pei has already gotten up to let people change her clothes, now it is also noon, Empress Dowager Pei's breakfast and lunch are useless, Mama Gu glanced at the sun, is softly into the hall, and whispered beside Empress Dowager Pei: "Queen Mother, it's already noon, let's rest." β
Empress Dowager Pei's body is motionless, her spine is straight, and the whole person is extremely religious, if you change others, even those young people, if they maintain such a posture for less than a stick of incense, they will feel tired, but Empress Dowager Pei knelt motionless all morning.
Mama Gu still wanted to persuade again, but the Empress Dowager Pei finally opened her eyes slowly, she lowered her head and motioned to Mama Gu to help her up, her knees were already a little numb, Mama Gu looked a little struggling, but she still tried her best to ensure the safety of the Empress Dowager Pei.
"I don't know why, in the past few days when Cheng Huang and Qin Yi had an accident, the mourning family always felt unstable in their hearts, as if that time was coming. β
After Empress Dowager Pei finished speaking, Mama Gu's brows couldn't help frowning, but she still comforted Empress Dowager Pei and said: "Empress Dowager, things have been going on for so long, and now the emperor also respects the Empress Dowager very much, this time the emperor just doesn't want the Empress Dowager to interfere in the affairs of the prince and the princess, so he will temporarily let the Empress Dowager recuperate in Shoukang Palace, and wait for the emperor to deal with ......." β
Gu Mama said this, but she couldn't go on, deal with the prince and the princess? How can it be considered to deal with it? Do you have to put the two of them on the charge of adultery to deal with it? And now there is no news about the prince, and the fifth princess at least knows that she is on the way to Longhu Mountain, but the prince is really uncertain about life and death.
Empress Dowager Pei glanced at Mama Gu, and Mama Gu hurriedly lowered her head and said, "It's the slave who lost her words." β
Empress Dowager Pei shook her head, and then stroked her heart and said: "Whether it's a blessing or a curse, after all, I can't hide it, the mourning family is just worried, if the emperor really doesn't care about sibling affection, Qin Yi will ...... , sins and sins, the mourning family knelt for two more hours, and it should be regarded as praying for Qin Yi to forgive the emperor's sins. β
"Forgive my sins, what sin do I want to forgive?" Mu Yuan'an's sudden low voice made Empress Dowager Pei and Mama Gu both feel excited, Empress Dowager Pei turned around, and saw that Mu Yuan'an had not changed into a court uniform, his expression was tense like an iron plate, and the whole person stood straight and resolute under the ancient pine outside the hall, exuding a solemn and solemn atmosphere, he seemed to be prepared, Mama Gu was about to come forward to salute, and before the words came out, Mu Yuanan ordered: "Mama Gu, you go down first, I, I have something to ask Empress Dowager Pei." β
Empress Dowager Pei's eyelashes flickered quickly, and Mama Gu looked back at Empress Dowager Pei, who was standing alone in front of the Buddhist shrine, with Mu Yuanan whispering impatiently in her ears: "I will let you go down!"
"Yes! Yes!" Mama Gu said yes in two consecutive words.
As soon as Mama Gu left, Empress Dowager Pei, who was still slightly uneasy, suddenly relaxed, she turned her head to look at the jade Buddha statue on the Buddhist altar, and began to turn the Buddha beads in her hand one by one, standing in front of her chest with her left hand in a palm, and slightly closed her eyes and said, "Is the emperor coming to worship the Buddha?"
Mu Yuanan approached the Buddha hall in two steps, but suddenly stopped after striding forward, he went around to the Empress Dowager Pei, ignoring the Buddha on the altar at all, directly between the Buddha and the Empress Dowager Pei, and suddenly said: "The Empress Dowager, over the years, have I ever treated you badly? Have you ever respected you? Have you ever neglected you in the slightest?"
Empress Dowager Pei slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were extremely clear, she was old, and her vision was always blurred recently, but her eyes were never as clear and clear as today, she shook her head and said: "The emperor, I have always been like a biological mother to the mourning family, although the mourning family is not the emperor's biological mother, but over the years, because of the emperor, and because of a few lively and lovely princesses in the harem, the mourning family, a lonely family, has enjoyed a lot of family fun." β
Mu Yuanan shook his head and said: "It's a pity that I treat the Queen Mother like my own mother, and the Queen Mother treats me like a biological mother, but she hates me and can't die miserably on the spot." β
"Why did the emperor say this?" Empress Dowager Pei's eyes were full of surprise.
Mu Yuanan slowly squatted down, his gaze gradually leveled with Empress Dowager Pei, and his tone suddenly became brisk, like an old man who had suffered from the vicissitudes of time telling a story from a long time ago: "Yes, such a family happiness, why, my biological mother, can't enjoy it?"
"My sister was ...... back then. β
"My biological mother doesn't have this blessing, but it should be, and it won't be your turn to be a murderer, aunt, to occupy the happiness that should belong to my mother. After Mu Yuanan finished speaking, his eyebrows were as cold as the cold wind of the moon, and he could pull countless scars on the heart of the Empress Dowager Pei.
Seeing this, Mu Yuanan suddenly hit the Buddha beads in the hands of the Empress Dowager Pei to the ground, and the Buddha beads were scattered one by one, knocking on the marble floor tiles, making a crisp sound, and the Empress Dowager Pei said indifferently: "If the emperor has to mourn his family and use this life to repay the sins of the year, just take it." β
"The Queen Mother is admitting it, isn't it?" Mu Yuanan couldn't bear the anger in his heart, when he had doubts at first, he even doubted himself even more, for the first time, he had a deep sense of self-blame because he doubted others, this was the Empress Dowager Pei who spent the most difficult time on the throne with him back then, and was also his mother's own sister, even if it was not his own mother, it was also his own aunt, he rarely believed in anyone, but before he found those clues, he trusted Empress Dowager Pei very much, and the reason why he couldn't accept this fact came from the fact that he wanted to betray all his previous trust and judgment, how ridiculous, he has always trusted the Queen Mother, but it was the one who poisoned his mother and himself back then.
"The things of that year were very complicated, and the mourning family couldn't say it clearly for a while, but if the emperor had to take the life of the mourning family to make up for the mistakes of the year, the mourning family would have no regrets. Empress Dowager Pei closed her eyes, and her old face suddenly became extremely soft, as if the time she had been waiting for many days had finally arrived.
"If you can't say it clearly, just say it slowly, I will let you die clearly, Queen Mother. Mu Yuanan said. ... Friends who read books, you can search for "", you can find this site as soon as possible.
