Chapter 147: The Missing Queen Mother 1
After Ming Wu left the East Palace, he did not leave the East Palace in a car, but walked slowly step by step, yesterday he looked for Liu Wen, hoping that he could solve his doubts, and also hoped that he could hear the news that Mingxuan would be okay in his mouth, but the result that Liu Wen gave him made him very disappointed. I remember what Liu Wen said at that time: Your Majesty, the destiny of heaven cannot be redeemed by manpower, please mourn the emperor!
Destiny? What is Destiny? He never believed in fate, he only believed that man would conquer the sky, but just now looking at Ming Xuan's painful appearance, he felt for the first time the insignificance of manpower. He is the Son of Heaven and the Lord of the peoples, but now he can't even save his own son, and he feels so incompetent for the first time.
The East Palace is very beautiful, especially in this season of a hundred flowers, it is extremely beautiful. Ming Wu walked among the flowers, thinking about everything in the past, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
He will never forget the happy times of their family of three, but since he became emperor, there has never been a good time for a family of three.
"Hehe, Dad, look, kite, this is the kite that my mother just made for me, can you play with me?" Ming Xuan, who was just three years old, ran happily in front of Ming Wu with an eagle kite that had just been made, and he seemed to hand the kite to Ming Wu with a childlike smile.
Mingwu also smiled very happily, he took Xiao Mingxuan in his arms, and walked up to Ma with a kite, "Madam, is this kid naughty?" Tell me something, I'll teach him a lesson. ”
"Xuan'er is very well-behaved, so she didn't bother her mother!" Before Ma could speak, he hurriedly said. A pair of small hands kept shaking, for fear that Mingwu would not believe it and really punish him.
"My son is just good, and my father is reluctant to beat my son." Ming Wu kissed Ming Xuan's smooth little face hard, which made Ming Xuan smile even more.
Thinking back to the past, Ming Wu smiled. It's just that as soon as that smile formed on Ming Wu's face, it was replaced by endless bitterness.
Hongfu followed behind Ming Wu, how much Ming Wu liked Ming Xuan, and now how painful his heart was. Mingxuan represents not only the emperor's happy time, but also the emperor's thoughts about the queen. However, now the prince is actually ...... Thinking of this, Hongfu was also sad. It's just that he can't understand that they have done their best to protect the prince's family, why will something happen to the prince?
"Where is the emperor going?" After walking for a long time, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, Hongfu asked with concern.
"Go to Concubine Lian." Now that the old man in the palace only has Concubine Lian, even if she knows that the sadness on her face is not sincere, she at least pretends to be better than others.
"Yes! Drive the Anyue Palace! Hongfu shouted loudly behind Mingwu.
"Get up early in the morning to pick lotus, the boat is swaying on the water, the elder brother supports the boat sister to pick lotus, one or two flowers are happy and worry-free......" Concubine Lian sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, eating fruit while humming a tune, feeling so unhappy. In the past, I only saw that Leling proud, but now that the prince is critically ill, let's see how long she can be proud.
Although she didn't know why Lu Dao Mingxuan would suddenly get sick, she didn't care about the reason, only the result. If they were lucky, maybe that Ming Xuan would return to the west because of this, and their plans would be much easier.
"The emperor has arrived!" Just when Concubine Lian was proud, Ming Wu had already entered Anyue Palace, and Hongfu's shout also reached Concubine Lian's ears at the same time.
Hearing Hongfu's shout, Concubine Lian quickly put away the joy on her face, and quickly got up to salute Ming Wu. "The concubines knock on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."
"Love the concubine, let's be flat!" Ming Wu crossed Concubine Lian and sat in the gazebo in the courtyard. Although he knew that these concubines of his longed for Ming Xuan to die, he didn't expect Concubine Lian to be so happy. Maybe he really hasn't seen these people in the palace for so many years.
"Concubine, thank you to the emperor!" Concubine Lian also knew that her happy appearance just now made Mingwu very unhappy, so she naturally didn't dare to wait for Mingwu to help her up as before. She stood up, walked over to Mingwu and sat down, picked up the pear on the table, carefully peeled it, and handed it to Mingwu. After Ming Wu glared at Concubine Lian, he still took the pear in Concubine Lian's hand.
Concubine Lian didn't care about Mingwu's displeasure at all, she said with a smile: "The fruits on the table were all brought into the palace by Shuang'er yesterday. Originally, I also prepared one for the emperor, but thinking that the emperor was in a bad mood recently, he asked the emperor to keep it first. Wait for the emperor to be in a good mood and then give it to the emperor to eat. ”
"Is Shuang'er okay?" Eating the sweet pear, Mingwu's expression softened a lot. I also miss my son who I haven't seen for two years.
"Shuang'er is okay, but I miss the emperor and his concubines, and I don't know when Shuang'er will be able to go home to see us. Ay! Speaking of this, Concubine Lian sighed, and she didn't have the good mood just now.
"Don't worry! If I have the chance, I will let Shuang'er go home. Ming Wu patted Concubine Lian's hand and said. The son misses his mother, this is human nature, but Mingshuang's fiefdom is too far away from the capital, and he is tired all the way, how can he be willing to let him suffer so much. It's just that he hasn't seen him for two years, and he misses his son very much, maybe he should let Shuang'er's family go home for the New Year during the holiday this year.
"Concubine, thank you to the emperor!" Listening to Ming Wu's words, Concubine Lian happily knelt on the ground to thank her. With the emperor's words, she was very happy.
"Get up!" Ming Wu stretched out his hand to pull Concubine Lian up and asked her to sit in her place again.
"The emperor has something to talk to the concubines, and the concubines may not be able to share the emperor's worries, but they must be the best audience." Seeing the sadness on Ming Wu's body, Concubine Lian said with a smile.
"It's okay, I just feel a little sad when I think of Shuang'er." Ming Wu shook his head and said. He has seven sons, but there is only one crown prince, no matter what he does, others will have opinions, now that Mingxuan is still alive, they have no reason to fight, but, but if Mingxuan is gone, what will they do? He didn't want to lose any of his sons, but he wanted them to cherish what they had now.
"Shuang'er is fine, the emperor doesn't have to worry about him." Concubine Lian said with a smile. In his heart, he was resentful of Mingwu. The son has not been seen from home for three years, and now he is sad that it is obviously Mingxuan's illness, but he is worried, which makes her even more dissatisfied with Mingwu in her heart, but she does not dare to express these emotions at will. The emperor is not a soft-hearted person, and there are many concubines killed by him.
"Hey! Concubine Lian is also a smart person, there are some words and some things, I don't say it doesn't mean that I don't know the way, what Shuang'er is doing now I also know the way, but he doesn't really do something rebellious, I won't hurt him, if he can't settle down one day, I won't be soft either. Ming Wu glared at Concubine Lian, dropped the half-eaten pears in his hand, and left directly.
"Humph!" Seeing Ming Wu leave without looking back, Concubine Lian gritted her teeth angrily. The emperor's words just now were clearly said to her. Of course, it was also for her son. Why? Why can Mingxuan's dying waste be the prince, but her son can't? If she doesn't accept it, she just doesn't accept it.
Thinking of this, Concubine Lian returned to her room. Let all the palace maids and eunuchs stand guard outside the door. Go back to your room and rest.
After Concubine Lian entered the room, she did not rest, but after putting down the bed curtain, she directly uncovered the bedding, she just pushed it gently, and the bed board against the wall actually revealed a one-meter-sized hole.
Concubine Lian looked at the entrance of the cave, hesitated for a moment, and went down to the entrance of the cave. The entrance to the cave is not big, but after walking a few steps, the inside is getting wider and wider, and there is actually a room of about ten square meters below.
There is only a night pearl illuminated in the room, and it is not very bright. The ground was also covered with dirt, but in order to make it easier for her to walk, Concubine Lian spread a large piece of cloth on the ground.
Concubine Lian was very familiar with this room, so she didn't need to look at it at all, and walked directly to the innermost, because there was a good punching bag for her there.
Ma Xiuying heard the footsteps, and knew that Concubine Lian was here again, but these had nothing to do with her, she just raised the corners of her eyes and continued to lie there still. I don't even look at Concubine Lian.
"Yo! My queen mother, are you very happy to see your concubines? Concubine Lian walked in front of Ma Xiuying and said with a smile.
"What? Or ignore me? Seeing that Ma Xiuying didn't look at her at all, she didn't care, she just squatted next to Ma Xiuying, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you ignore me, I'm not here to beat you up this time, I'm just here to tell you good news."
Ma Xiuying was still lying there, not even looking at Concubine Lian. The good news that could make her so excited must be bad news for her, and she didn't want to listen to it. It's just that if Concubine Lian wants her to listen, she can't look back, she can't make a sound, she will definitely say it. She has been imprisoned here by Concubine Lian for a long, long time, so long that she has forgotten the existence of time. How everything out there teases has nothing to do with her.
"Queen Mother, this is really good news, your longing daughter was actually found by the emperor, but you must not know how she has been living outside all these years." Concubine Lian smiled and continued, "This is really good news, isn't it."
"Are you serious? Ning'er was really recovered? Listening to Concubine Lian's words, Ma Xiuying couldn't be silent any longer, she raised her head, brushed the hair off her face, and asked eagerly. She always thought that Ning Er was no longer in this world! I didn't expect ...... I didn't expect ...... Even if she couldn't see her again, she was content.
Concubine Lian was startled when she looked at a face in front of her that was paler than a ghost, but fortunately, she quickly reacted, pushed Ma Xiuying's body away, and hid to the side.
"Why are you telling me this?" was pushed away by Concubine Lian, Ma Xiuying realized that she seemed to be happy a little too early, how could this person deliberately run down for a good deed? She must have something worse to tell her.
"Of course, I want you to be happy, otherwise when you know another good news, I'm afraid you'll be overexcited, but it's okay, I've been annoyed for so many years, and soon I'll reunite you with your son." Looking at Ma Xiuying's frightened appearance, Concubine Lian found that she had found a new way to deal with Ma Xiuying. Maybe it makes her happier than she beats people herself.
"What do you mean?" Ma Xiuying looked at Concubine Lian in horror. Can she really hurt her son? What the hell is the emperor doing.
"What do you mean? Hahaha...... I'm not going to tell you, you're just here and waiting to hear the results! Haha......" Concubine Lian left the room with a smile.
Ma Xiuying watched her leave, and finally broke out with her first counterattack in ten years.
