Chapter Seventy-Three: Its Wounds
"Niangniang"
The mournful female voice came out from the open palace gate, and the waiter holding the food box hurriedly stopped, looked at the waiter who came out, and asked with his eyes, the waiter shook his head and made a waiting look at him, and the palace door closed to isolate the sound inside.
The concubine hid her face and wept.
The queen mother on the opposite side leaned on a few feet, her eyes were red and silky, describing her tiredness.
ββ¦ No one knows about this, don't think about it. She said.
"Niangniang, there is no impermeable wall in the world, no one says it now, it is difficult to guarantee that in the future, the mouth of the world cannot be blocked." The concubine cried, "Besides, that's what he meant when he asked like that."
The Queen Mother sighed.
"Wei Lang, he... That's not what it means... The child has no mouth to say, and he is so sad that he just wants to ask about the current events, and he has no intention of saying anything...", she said slowly.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the concubine.
"Mother." She shouted, "Do you believe that? β
This is the first time that the concubine has been so rude in the face of the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother did not get angry and scolded, but was silent.
"How about the fourth brother, you and Your Majesty have also seen it." The concubine then wiped away her tears and said, "He is only eleven years old, seeing his younger brother have an accident in front of him, how much better can he be..."
Thinking that when the prince saw them, he repeatedly said that he didn't hold his younger brother and didn't hold his younger brother, and he looked frightened and crying, and he was obviously frightened, and said that he didn't sleep all night, so the emperor stayed in his palace to comfort him and coax him to sleep for a while.
The Queen Mother sighed.
ββ¦ said that the sixth brother became a fool when he was better, and I think the fourth brother should become a fool first. The concubine cried.
The Queen Mother lowered her face and was anxious.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" She shouted.
This kind of scolding made the concubine's heart more relaxed.
"I'm calling this nonsense? The fourth brother is going to be labeled like that, he might as well be stupid," she cried.
The Queen Mother pulled her face before she was about to speak. The door was gently pushed open by the chamberlain.
Didn't you say you wouldn't be bothered? Who dares to come in?
The Queen Mother frowned and looked over. See is an old eunuch beside him.
"Mother." He gave a soft-spoken salute.
"What's wrong?" Although the Queen Mother was displeased. But he still suppressed his temper and did not rush out, but asked.
This kind of old man will not be so blind, and daring to come in must be the reason why he must come in.
"Someone from the King of Jin'an County said something..."The old eunuch said softly.
The concubine immediately stopped crying, sat up straight, and looked over with her eyebrows raised.
"Heβ" she shrieked.
The Queen Mother interrupted her.
"What's the matter?" She asked, glancing at the concubine with a bit of caution.
"I said I was crazy," said the old eunuch.
Crazy?
The concubine sneered in her heart, and was about to speak, but saw the queen mother stand up.
"I'll take a look." She said.
"!" The concubine got up and said hurriedly.
"There can't be any more accidents in the palace." The Queen Mother said solemnly, took a deep breath and stepped out.
The concubine watched the Queen Mother leave indignantly. Biting his lower lip and thinking about it, he called an attendant.
"Is Your Majesty still with the Great Prince?" She asked in a low voice.
The chamberlain nodded.
The concubine glanced at the direction in which the Queen Mother had left, turned around and walked quickly to the other side.
Let's make trouble, make trouble, the bigger the better.
You should have gotten out of this palace a long time ago, but if you don't leave, this time you're killing yourself.
When the queen mother came to the side of the king of Jin'an County, she heard the bustle in the courtyard from a distance, walked into the door to look for the sound and went to the backyard, and saw the attendants standing in the courtyard. looked panicked, shouting and persuading.
"What's wrong?" The Queen Mother asked.
The chamberlains in the courtyard all knelt down and looked away. The queen mother can see the king of Jin'an in a palace at a glance.
This glance was so frightened that I almost lost my soul.
The king of Jin'an was holding a torch in his hand.
"Wei Lang, what are you doing!" The Queen Mother shouted in a trembling voice.
"Mother, I'm going to burn these things." King Jin'an said.
His expression was panicked, his eyes were misty, and his words were wooden, and it was obvious that he was already distracted.
The most afraid of fire in the palace is the fire, the palace burned by the thunder fire a few years ago has not been repaired until now, and it is even more difficult to extinguish once the fire breaks out in winter, although the palace on the side of the king of Jin'an is far away from the harem, but it is also a trouble to really burn.
"Wei Lang, Wei Lang, don't mess around, quickly take the torch away and come to Niangniang's side." The Queen Mother softened her tone and coaxed.
King Jin'an shook his head and smiled sadly.
"Niangniang, it was I who hurt the sixth brother, it was these things that hurt the sixth brother, I want to burn them, I want to burn myself..."
Another one who said that he had harmed his sixth brother...
The Queen Mother frowned slightly, and looked at the King of Jin'an County with a bit of scrutiny.
He... Do you really think so?
But now is not the time to talk about this, take the torch down first.
"Wei Lang." The Queen Mother stepped forward and pretended to be a little happy, "I'm here to tell you this, come on, the sixth brother woke up just now." β
As soon as these words came out, the king of Jin'an County looked overjoyed, grabbed the torch and rushed out.
"Really? Sixth brother," he shouted, running away with his feet raised.
"Take him down quickly," the Queen Mother hurriedly stretched out her hand and shouted.
The attendants on all sides had already been ready to rush up.
"Mother, you lied to me, you lied to me..."
The shouts of the King of Jin'an reverberated in the palace.
"The sixth brother didn't wake up, the sixth brother didn't wake up"
Repeating over and over again, from sharp to hoarse to choked.
"What the hell do you want to do?" The Queen Mother shouted, looking at the King of Jin'an who was tied up and fell to the ground, "Have you made enough trouble?" β
"I want my sixth brother to wake up... I want my sixth brother to be safe..."
The king of Jin'an County, who was tied up and lying on his side on the ground, choked up and said.
The Queen Mother looked at him.
"Are you the only one you want? Who wouldn't want to be in the palace? She exclaimed, "Shall we all go and burn down the house?" β
She looked up at the hall in front of her, which had been smashed to the ground.
This place was the gift sent by the Quzhou royal mansion where the child was stored, and now these are all over the place. What was smashed and chopped down was regarded as a treasure by the child....
". Empress. It's not an accident..."
There was a choked murmur from the king of Jin'an County.
The Queen Mother came back to her senses and looked at him with a somewhat complicated expression.
King Jin'an didn't look at her, he didn't struggle when he lay on the ground, he just looked at the ground in front of him, and tears slowly slid down.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault, he came to me to accompany him, I didn't go...."
Such... Is it?
The Queen Mother looked at him and did not speak.
"I'm not going, I'm going to see these things. What is there to see about these things....I lied to my mother and deceived my sixth brother, I saw these things, in fact, I was not happy at all....I just don't want you to look at me pitiful... They simply forgot about me... Forget about me... These things that they sent... Cold repetition does not change... It's not as happy as the sixth brother smiling at me... Why do I have to pretend to be in front of him and refuse to tell him....why do I have to look at these things and not accompany him... If I had gone that day, I would have been able to hold him down... I'm sure I'll be able to hold him...."
Looking at the young man who was curled up in the place, listening to the chaotic muttering, the Queen Mother's tears finally couldn't help flowing, she knelt down and reached out to caress the shoulder of the King of Jin'an.
"Silly boy, you're so confused," she said, choking up. It's an accident..."
"It's my fault, it's my fault. Actually, I don't have anything, I only have the sixth brother, only the sixth brother, why don't I go with him, why do I have to pretend to miss my younger brothers who don't even remember my name....I don't care about them at all, they don't care about me... What else am I pretending to be..."The King of Jin'an still muttered.
"Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense." The Queen Mother said with tears in her eyes, "Silly child, this is not pretending, Niangniang knows, Sixth Brother also knows, you are afraid that we are worried, you want us to know that you are very happy, you stupid child, we all know, this is not pretending, this is sensible..."
While shouting to the inner servants to untie and support up, the kneeling attendants around hurriedly ran over, untying the rope and supporting the chaos, and no one noticed the emperor standing at the door.
A small chamberlain hurried over.
ββ¦ On the same day, the second prince came to find the king of the county....the king of the county just received the New Year's gift from Quzhou...."
The concubine bowed her head and took a few steps back, only faintly listening to the inner servant whispering a few words, she couldn't help but look up and saw the emperor's side, although it still looked expressionless, but after so many years of getting along, the concubine easily found that his expression had eased down, and she couldn't help but look at the king of Jin'an County who was followed by the queen mother by the inner servant.
I knew that I wouldn't call the emperor here, but I gave him a good treat, this little rabbit cub!
When night fell, the concubine hurriedly walked into the palace of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor were there.
"Did the fourth brother sleep?" The Queen Mother asked.
"Not yet, just coaxed to eat something." The concubine said, knelt down and sat down, "Niangniang, did you let the county king move to your palace?" β
The Queen Mother hummed.
"Let him live there again, I don't worry." She said.
What's not to worry about!
"He's been greatly stimulated this time, and if he sees those things again, he really can't prevent the house from burning down." The Queen Mother said, looking at the emperor again, "What do you say about those things in Quzhou?" It's all smashed, if Quzhou knows about it, don't misunderstand. β
What can be misunderstood! That's what their son did!
The concubine gritted her teeth.
"Seal it up and let people clean it up slowly." The Emperor said.
After a few words, the tired Queen Mother let them retire, and before they walked out of the palace gate, the concubine couldn't help but speak urgently.
"Your Majesty, it's not good to let the county king move to the Queen Mother's palace." She said, "He's so old, and he's still messing around in the harem..."
The Emperor stopped and looked at her.
The concubine was a little weak in her heart, and swallowed the rest of the words.
"After these days, I have my own arrangements." The emperor turned his head and continued to walk lightly, "He has nothing here, only a sixth brother, now that this kind of thing has happened, how can he be driven out." β
The concubine replied yes, and followed in broken steps.
"Here in the Queen Mother, it's good to talk and comfort him." The Emperor continued, pausing, "If you are willing to let the fourth brother come over." β
Today's eldest prince is most at ease only under her nose, and she will not be at ease wherever she goes.
The concubine sighed.
"The Queen Mother is tired enough to look at one." She said, looking at the emperor with a hesitation, "Besides, the county king has some feelings for the fourth brother..."
The Emperor stopped.
"He doesn't have anything to do with the fourth brother, he does it to himself." He said.
"Your Majesty." The concubine stepped forward, "You, what did King Xinjun say?" β
The Emperor turned to look at her.
"You, do you believe in what I said?" He asked.
When the concubine was asked, she was busy bowing down.
"The concubine doesn't dare." She said apprehensively.
The Emperor smiled.
"What I said is that it was my fault that something happened to the sixth brother." He said, turning his head to look at the sky that was gradually obscured by the night, "If it wasn't for me to coax him, how could he..."
"Your Majesty." The concubine shouted with tears in her eyes.
"I, do you really blame yourself, do you believe it or not?" The emperor looked at the concubine and said.
The concubine nodded tearfully.
"The concubine believes, the concubine knows that His Majesty is sad." She choked up.
"So, I also believe in Weilang." The Emperor said.
The concubine looked stunned, and finally lowered her head and stopped talking.
Watching the stop-and-go emperor and the concubine's guard of honor disappear at the palace gate, the king of Jin'an, who was standing behind the straight window in the side hall, retracted his gaze and turned to look at the palace.
Night had fallen, and it was dark as far as the eye could see.
"It's dark." He said.
It's dark, it's dark.
The king of Jin'an raised his feet and strode inward in this darkness.
The chamberlain beside him heard each other's glances.
"Palm lamp, palm lamp." A busy said.
Palm lamp, palm lamp.
A summons stretched away, and the palace lights were lit up, like stars in the sky in the palace at night.
