Chapter 88: Provincial Relatives
has been a husband and wife for more than 20 years, even if she and the emperor are not as loving and harmonious as others see, but her efforts in the past 20 years are not as good as a dead person?
Empress Su felt sorry for herself.
As a queen to do her part, she doesn't even have the strength to continue to be angry.
But in order not to let Gonggong Lin notice that something was wrong, she still forced herself to hold back the grief and indignation in her heart, and only smiled and said: "What Gonggong Lin said is that this palace naturally believes in Gonggong Lin's words, since the emperor has no such plans, although I feel a little sorry for Sister Han, but this palace is always happy in my heart." ”
If it is normal to say such a thing that Queen Su can say almost heartfelt words, how can Gonggong Lin, as a palace person, feel flattered.
Empress Su knew how loyal Gonggong Lin was to the emperor, so she didn't have such a calculation in her heart, she just didn't want Gonggong Lin to be suspicious.
Gonggong Lin didn't seem to see Queen Su's thoughts at all, and when he heard Queen Su say this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then comforted softly: "Don't be too careful, the emperor knows best about the queen mother over the years, if a woman mentions the queen mother today, who doesn't show envy?" ”
If it was a few days ago, even if she knew that the emperor was only affectionate to her, Queen Su would definitely be complacent when she heard this, but at this time, she found out the emperor's plan from Gonggong Lin, but Queen Su only felt ironic.
Almost using all the strength of her body, Empress Su could barely maintain the smile on her face.
Now that she already knows what she wants to know, Queen Su no longer has the patience to deal with Gonggong Lin, "Even so, it is really a lot of heart in the palace, and this matter is also annoying to Gonggong Lao Lin not to sue the emperor, if the emperor knows that the palace is so confused, the palace will not be able to see the emperor again." ”
For this little request of Queen Su, Gonggong Lin naturally has no reason not to be.
Seeing that Queen Su had nothing else to do, she said goodbye to Queen Su and left Kunning Palace.
All the way back to his abode until he closed the door alone. The calmness on Lin Gonggong's face was replaced by sarcasm and sneering.
How can such a stupid woman be compared to the queen mother?
……
And in Kunning Palace, after Gonggong Lin left, Queen Su could no longer suppress her churning anger. He lost his temper.
However, no matter how angry she was, Queen Su had to think about how to deal with this matter better.
In any case, it is absolutely impossible for her to sit idly by and watch the emperor have such thoughts, she is the queen of the Great Wu Dynasty. In the future, only she will be able to sleep with the emperor after his death!
As for the emperor's calculations......
Heh, didn't the emperor go to great lengths to keep Han Su's body?
So, what if she burned Han Su's body on fire?
Thinking of this, resentment and viciousness flashed in Queen Su's eyes.
Because the royal blood in the palace is thin, compared to the previous dynasty, the harem battle is obviously much milder, but Queen Su has been the queen for so many years, but she is not without any means.
For her, as long as she can achieve the goal, even if it is unscrupulous.
It's just burning a corpse that should have rotted in the mud a long time ago. For Empress Su, this was really not a difficult decision.
The only thing that needs to be considered is how she will get out after this matter is known to the emperor......
In the messy dormitory, Queen Su thought silently for a long time.
Empress Su is obviously also a man of action, and since she has made a decision, she does not plan to delay this matter any longer.
Han Su's body was placed in the imperial tomb by the emperor, as the future resting place of the masters of the Zhao Dynasty, the guard of the imperial tomb is naturally very strict, even if she is the queen, you must quietly enter the imperial tomb to burn Han Su's body. It's not an easy task either.
Therefore, even if the queen has mobilized all the available people in her hands, this matter will not be done in a while.
Before this, Queen Su had an increasingly strong thought in her heart.
She wanted to go to the Imperial Mausoleum first to see what kind of person Han Su was.
can make the emperor order the monks of Huangjue Temple to use secret methods to preserve the corpse for more than 20 years, and even after so many years of death, he can still move the emperor to go to the imperial tomb from time to time to see her.
Every time I think about it, it's because of such a person. The emperor will treat himself only lightly, and the unwillingness and jealousy in Queen Su's heart are a little irrepressible.
She knows that she can't compete for Hansu, and the living will never be able to replace the status of the dead, just look at the emperor over the years, even if he has accepted many concubines into the palace for his heirs, he has never had a special expression for anyone, which can be seen one or two.
But even if it's a loss. Empress Su also wanted to know what kind of person she was losing to.
This thought seemed to take root in Queen Su's heart for only a moment, and she couldn't convince herself to ignore it.
After fighting in her heart for a long time, her desire to see Han Su finally overwhelmed Queen Su's reason.
It's good to go and see her, it's a matter of heart, anyway, Han Su can't affect her in the future, and besides, it will take at least a few days for her to arrange it, so take advantage of these few days to go to the imperial tomb to have a look, and it won't delay her plan.
Queen Su comforted herself like this.
Having made up her mind, Queen Su also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
It's just that as the queen of the middle palace, if she doesn't have an upright reason, she can't leave the palace.
Queen Su thought about it for a long time before she came up with an excuse to go back to her parents' home to save her relatives.
In fact, it's not exactly an excuse.
Queen Su has been in the palace for more than 20 years, and since she stepped out of the house on the day she got married, she has never returned to her parents' house, even when her parents passed away, she has not been able to go back to take a look.
For so many years, saying that I didn't want to go back to my parents' house to see it, this must be false.
In addition, what Su Qi did a few days ago made the Chengping Mansion, which already had no good reputation, discredited, and Queen Su was angry and really wanted to warn her brother in person.
Therefore, Empress Su quickly went to Zhao Tiannan to ask for advice on the provincial relatives.
After Zhao Tiannan angrily reprimanded Queen Su that day, he never wanted to see that stupid woman again, and then he heard that Gonggong Lin replied to Queen Su and wanted to return to Chengping Bofu to his relatives, so he nodded and agreed after a slight pause.
In any case, it is better for such a stupid person to be a queen than a queen who has ambitions and a powerful family.
Gonggong Lin saw Zhao Tiannan nodding and was silent for a moment, but unexpectedly opened his mouth to Zhao Tiannan, he said, "Your Majesty." The queen has been around for more than 20 years, and the slave has overpassed, and the emperor should also let go of the past. If it weren't for that, Queen Su wouldn't always be suspicious......"
In front of Zhao Tiannan. The queen mother that Gonggong Lin refers to will always be just that person.
Hearing Gonggong Lin mention the past, Zhao Tiannan naturally knew what he was referring to, and his whole body stiffened.
But then, realizing Gonggong Lin's next sentence, Zhao Tiannan said with some vigilance: "Why is the queen suspicious?" ”
Everyone in the palace knows. Gonggong Lin was the most loyal to the emperor, even if he promised Empress Su not to tell Zhao Tiannan about this matter, but since Zhao Tiannan asked at this time, he did not hide it.
Lin Gonggong said: "Yesterday, the slave was not on duty, and Queen Su sent someone to summon the old slave over, saying that she had something to ask the old slave." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Tiannan's deep-contoured eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said slowly: "What did she ask?" ”
"Queen Su asked about the queen's mother," Gonggong Lin said truthfully, "The old slave doesn't know where Queen Su learned about the queen's mother." But there are still a few old palace people in the palace now, and I think Zuo only learned about it from their mouths, and the old slave thought that since Queen Su already knew, she didn't deny it. ”
Empress Su knew about Han Su, and Zhao Tiannan knew about it.
That time, he wanted Empress Su to summon the eldest girl of the Feng family into the palace, and Empress Su was so angry that she said the name Hansu.
However, now that she already knew, she specially called Gonggong Lin to ask like this, but what did she mean?
Zhao Tiannan was originally a suspicious person, although Empress Su's actions were not particularly strange. But he also succeeded in leaving a seed called doubt in his heart.
I just called Gonggong Lin to ask questions yesterday, and today I want to go back to my parents' house to save my relatives.
Zhao Tiannan did not believe that there was no connection between the two.
Perhaps, he should take a good look. What exactly does his queen want to do?
If she just wants to go back to her parents' house to see, it's fine, but if she wants to take the opportunity to play some small tricks......
Zhao Tiannan's eyes flashed with light.
His dignity as an emperor never allowed anyone to provoke!
Zhao Tiannan called Gonggong Lin, and then whispered a few words.
Gonggong Lin was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, he just responded to the promise and retreated to arrange the next thing arranged by Zhao Tiannan.
……
Kunning Palace. Empress Su's request for instructions was quickly answered in the affirmative.
Even if Empress Su no longer expects the emperor's love, she is inevitably a little happy to see Zhao Tiannan deserve it so quickly, and then quickly arranges to return to Chengping Bofu to save her relatives.
This is the first time that Empress Su has been in the palace for more than 20 years, not to mention Empress Su's own attention and expectations, and the Chengping Bofu who got the news also attaches great importance to it.
Chengping Bofu just had the incident of Su Qi, even if the men in Bofu didn't have a good reputation, they all felt that their faces were dull, and they were even more shameless to walk outside under the guidance and discussion of the people in the capital.
Therefore, it is rare that the whole mansion of Chengping Bofu can make up a dozen gentlemen, and they have never stepped out of Bofu for several days.
This is also incredible for the men of Chengping Bofu who only want to pick more fresh flowers.
For the people of Chengping Bofu, these days are undoubtedly extremely sad, the key is that they don't know how long it will take for Su Qi's matter to settle down, and at this time, when they get the news that the queen wants to return to Bofu to save their relatives, these people can be regarded as greatly relieved.
In any case, Chengping Bofu is also the queen's maiden home, presumably after the queen is provincial, even if it is for the queen's face, Su Qi's matter should slowly fade away from people's hearts.
In this way, the whole Chengping Bo Mansion was extremely enthusiastic in welcoming Queen Su's relatives.
The queen is provincial, this is not a small news in the capital, and it also made the heat of Su Qi's matter retreat a little for a while.
On the day of Queen Su's pro-provincial proximity, the royal honor guard and pomp also gave the Su family a lot of face, and while the Su family's face was shining, they only felt that the impact brought by Su Qi was nothing.
Although she is a provincial relative, Queen Su can't spend the night in Chengpingbo's mansion, and she has to return to the palace before evening.
For Empress Su, who wanted to go to the imperial mausoleum, time was obviously tight, so Empress Su did not waste time, and after reprimanding Cheng Pingbo, she quietly left Cheng Pingbo's mansion in an ordinary carriage under the cover of Cheng Pingbo.
Not long after the news of Empress Su's departure from Chengping Bo Mansion was known by Zhao Tiannan in the palace.
The knobby hand tapped lightly on the imperial table. Under the seemingly leisurely movements, the expression on Zhao Tiannan's face was like the calm before the storm.
He didn't expect that his queen really had the courage to take the opportunity of saving relatives to hide from him.
"Do you know where she wants to go?" Zhao Tiannan asked in a deep voice.
When Gonggong Lin heard this, he said: "Back to the emperor, Queen Su went out of the city in a carriage. Although the final destination is not yet known, that direction is the same as the direction where the Imperial Tomb is located. ”
Gonggong Lin didn't speculate much, he just told what he knew truthfully.
There was a little more hidden anger in Zhao Tiannan's eyes.
The Imperial Tomb is also the Imperial Tomb.
Queen Su first deliberately asked Gonggong Lin about Su Su. Now he found an excuse to save his relatives, but he actually went to the imperial mausoleum.
If Queen Su didn't have a calculation in her heart, Zhao Tiannan herself didn't believe it first.
"It's really my good queen, I have underestimated her all these years." Zhao Tiannan slowly clenched his fists, and there seemed to be a hidden thunder in his voice, which made people feel a chill in their hearts when they heard it, "Let people follow carefully, if her target is really the Imperial Tomb, transfer the Imperial Tomb guards away, and I want to see what kind of means my good queen has." ”
Let's talk about Queen Su.
When I was not married, I rarely had the opportunity to go out. In the more than 20 years since entering the palace, except for going to the palace with the emperor in the middle of summer every year, he has never stepped out of the palace gate at other times.
Now secretly going to the imperial tomb without telling people is a new experience for Queen Su.
But after that novelty, Queen Su was a little nervous in her heart.
The importance of the imperial tomb is self-evident, she actually has no confidence that she will be able to enter the imperial tomb without alarming the guards, if it really doesn't work, she is going to show her identity, as the queen of the Dawu Dynasty, it is not a big deal for her to enter the imperial tomb. I'm afraid that this will be known to the emperor.
It's just that what Queen Su didn't expect was that her trip was unusually smooth.
Although I was a little puzzled about where the guards outside the Imperial Tomb were, I was able to avoid them. Queen Su didn't think much about it, asked people to park the carriage in a hidden place, and ordered the people who came with her to guard the carriage and wait for her to come back, and Queen Su entered the imperial tomb alone.
This is the first time that Empress Su has entered the imperial tomb, and without a map here, Queen Su has been wandering around the imperial tomb for a long time. In addition, although this place is built magnificently, but in the end it is a mausoleum, which is not only dark, but also has a terrifying and eerie atmosphere, if it weren't for Queen Su's desire to see Han Su too strongly, I was afraid that she would turn around and run away.
Fortunately, the current emperor is the founding emperor of the Dawu Dynasty, so although this imperial mausoleum covers an extremely vast area, in fact, it is almost completely vacant now.
When she first saw the two coffins placed side by side in the tomb, the anger in Queen Su's heart almost didn't make her do something irrational.
If she had some doubts about this matter in her heart before, then at this moment, that doubt is gone.
The two coffins, looking at it from a distance, one of them obviously put Han Su's corpse, and the other was vacant for whom, needless to say.
In addition, she, the current queen of the main palace, has no place at all.
Since Queen Su knew that there was a person like Hansu, she had actually been suppressing a ball of anger in her heart, but she had covered it up all those years and never came out.
And today, the coffin containing Han Su's body was like a fuse, igniting all the anger of Queen Su, making her heart instantly ignite.
Originally, she planned to send her subordinates to secretly enter the imperial tomb and burn Han Su's corpse, but at this time, she saw the situation in the tomb with her own eyes, and Queen Su only wanted to do it herself.
If it weren't for the fact that she hadn't been prepared before she came, I'm afraid she would have done such a thing.
It took a long time to barely suppress this impulse, and Queen Su approached Han Su's coffin step by step.
Before seeing Han Su's face in the coffin, even if she knew that the emperor had asked the senior monks of Huangjue Temple to preserve Han Su's body, Queen Su always thought that Han Su had been dead for more than 20 years after all, and no matter what kind of powerful secret method it was, it was the limit to keep her body from rotting, but I was afraid that her face would no longer be able to see.
Unexpectedly, she was ready to be frightened, but she saw such a face that seemed to have never been eroded by the years.
The woman was about thirty years old, with fair skin and picturesque eyebrows, and she lay quietly in the coffin, with a slight flush on her cheeks, as if she was just asleep, and could open her eyes at any time.
If she hadn't known that Han Su had been dead for more than twenty years, Empress Su would never have regarded the woman in the coffin as a lifeless corpse.
Even if she had already been picky about Han Su in her heart, after seeing it with her own eyes, she had to admit that this woman named Han Su was indeed worth remembering for more than 20 years.
But then, Queen Su was both angry and sad in her heart.
More than 20 years have passed, and Su Shenyu has become a middle-aged woman who is over forty years old now, but Hansu, who has been sleeping underground at that time, still looks so young.
often looks at such a person who is dead, but can still attract the pity and memory of others, and it is no wonder that the emperor has turned a blind eye to the concubines in the harem over the years. (To be continued.) )
