Chapter 116: The Queen Mother gave Xiaoxin poisonous wine
As soon as Concubine Hui left, the Queen Mother set off to clear the palace.
The Qianqing Palace has become a mess.
The queen chattered endlessly and reprimanded Liang Yuexin for not being guilty of bullying the monarch and concealing her identity, and the crime deserved to die.
Prince Xiang strongly proved his relationship with Liang Yuexin and asked the emperor to let Liang Yuexin leave the palace.
And Liang Yuexin stayed quietly on the sidelines and didn't say a word of justification. Coldly watched them arguing, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.
There really is no need to argue. All her blessings had already been known, and what else could she justify?
Liang Yuexin took a deep look at Fulin. What kind of decision will this man she loves, what kind of decision will he make? Will she be maintained? Or will she pretend not to know and convict her of deception? At this moment, Liang Yuexin's heart has no bottom. After all, the other party is the emperor, and there are too many things to consider, and he may not necessarily offend his brother for the sake of a woman.
Liang Yuexin already had an idea in her heart, even if Fulin gave up on her, she would not blame Fulin. She understands that it is difficult to make a decision between maintaining and abandoning.
Fu Lin sat in the center of the main hall, and did not say a word, listening to the queen and Prince Xiang say their own words. His brow was already furrowed into a thread.
It can be seen that Fulin is very difficult and does not know how to decide. Liang Yuexin couldn't bear to embarrass him, and was about to open her mouth to bear it. But suddenly heard the sound of slapping the table, and the intensity made everyone startled, and the hall immediately fell silent.
The person who slapped the table was the emperor! He was about to speak, and everyone waited.
Liang Yuexin's heart fluttered, will she be sentenced to death?
"Xiao Xin was promised by me personally, and what you said is all nonsense." Fulin roared.
The sweetness of honey goes straight to the bottom of my heart. At this moment, in addition to being moved, it is still moving. Liang Yuexin looked at Fulin deeply, and unconsciously, her eyes were already moist.
Fu Lin nodded slightly at Xiao Xin, and signaled with his eyes to reassure her.
Liang Yuexin also nodded towards Fu Lin in response, and then straightened her waist. Rokuro is so insistent, how can she be weak?
How could the queen let Liang Yuexin go easily, she immediately retorted: "Your Majesty." Whether Prince Xiang's words are true or false, you will know after checking. ”
What a stupid woman! Fulin Longyan was furious and roared: "What does the queen mean, am I wrong? ”
The queen was shocked by these words and took a few steps back. Too frightened to speak.
Prince Xiang moved his lips and didn't speak, but his brows kept furrowing. The man's feeling told him that the emperor was in love with Xiao Xin and was bent on protecting her!
It's just that Prince Xiang is unwilling, and Liang Yuexin is obviously his woman. It doesn't feel good to be taken away. In fact, he doesn't love Liang Yuexin, he is unwilling to be abandoned. It's all a matter of face, not love.
How could the emperor be wrong? He has opened his golden mouth, and his attitude is clear, that is, this matter is stopped, and he is not allowed to mention it again. Although Prince Xiang and the Empress were unwilling, they didn't dare to say anything.
When everyone was silent, they suddenly heard Xiao Shunzi shouting: "The Queen Mother has arrived-"
The Queen Mother walked in quickly, almost stepping on the sound of communication.
"The son greets the queen mother."
"The concubine greets the queen mother."
Everyone saluted the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother waved her hand to excuse everyone. His gaze swept over everyone one by one. Everywhere you look, you can shiver and shudder.
Fu Lin reached out to hold Xiao Xin's hand and reassured her.
As soon as the queen saw the queen mother, she felt that she was a backer, and things had taken a turn for the better. immediately said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, Liang promised to deceive everyone, but she is ......"
"Enough!" The Queen Mother let out a loud shout and interrupted the Queen's words.
The queen was stunned, could it be that the queen mother was also protecting Liang Yuexin?
Seeing the Empress Dowager Xiang, she immediately changed her eyes to a kind gaze and said, "The mourning family has heard about it." I must find out and give the prince an explanation. ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Prince Xiang bowed.
The Queen Mother came in a hurry all the way to say such a thing. She knows the emperor's temperament best, and the emperor will definitely make a big deal small. The trifle is nothing. In the end, Liang Yuexin still agreed to Liang and had nothing to do with Chang Fujin.
But the matter has already been opened, and if he does not give Prince Xiang an explanation, he will definitely have a thorn in his heart. After all, Prince Xiang is a prince, and this matter cannot be settled.
Liang Yuexin, who returned to Jingren Palace, was sullen. The appearance of the Queen Mother made her very uneasy.
Although Fulin persuaded her many times, Liang Yuexin still couldn't put her mind at ease. I always feel that the Queen Mother will not stop there.
"Little master, the emperor said it's okay, don't worry." Xue Qiao comforted.
Liang Yuexin glanced at Xue Qiao and felt ashamed. This girl is also tired of following her, if she hadn't entered the palace with her, she must have lived happily with the fat man.
Liang Yuexin stroked Xue Qiao's hair and asked, "Xue Qiao, do you miss the fat man?" ”
Xue Qiao was stunned. It's been so long since I left the fat man, and it's fake to say that I don't care about it, but I still hold on and say: "With the little master by his side, Xue Qiao doesn't want him." ”
Liang Yuexin let out a long sigh. "But I miss him! I miss the peaceful and happy days in Yongning Town. ”
At this moment, Xue Qiao frowned slightly, and her face showed guilt. The little lord entered the palace, which she indirectly facilitated.
After a moment of silence, Liang Yuexin said again: "The emperor really loves me very much, and it is estimated that it should be feasible for me to beg him to let you out of the palace." ”
As soon as Liang Yuexin's words came out, Xue Qiao immediately bounced away a few steps and waved her hand again and again: "No, Xue Qiao will not leave the palace, Xue Qiao will stay by the little master's side." ”
Xue Qiao's loyalty, Liang Yuexin knows. It's just that at the moment, she is in big trouble, and Xue Qiao is affected by following her. It's better to take advantage of the old love and send Xue Qiao out of the palace first. Lest in case she falls out of favor and is convicted, she will not be able to save Xue Qiao.
Liang Yuexin tried hard to persuade Xue Qiao to leave the palace, but what she got was her strong refusal. Xue Qiao changed her gentle attitude and forced her to be in a hurry, she even said that she would rather die in the palace than go out. forced Liang Yuexin to give up this idea.
In the end, Liang Yuexin compromised and no longer mentioned the matter of sending Xue Qiao out of the palace.
Liang's promise was originally about Chang Fujin, and it soon spread in the palace. Concubine Tong also heard the sound.
"Sister, seeing that you are okay, my sister is relieved." Concubine Tong shook Liang Yuexin's hand as soon as she entered the door, her face full of worry.
"Let my sister worry, my sister is really upset." Liang Yuexin was a little moved. People are weak, who doesn't stay away from her now? Only Concubine Tong was willing to step into her room.
"The emperor loves his sister so much, it's fine. Let the past pass, my sister should relax. ”
Concubine Tong's words were gentle and warm. Although a few words of comfort could not affect the ending, they warmed Liang Yuexin's heart. She wrote down this kindness.
Every time Concubine Tong finished speaking, Liang Yuexin nodded and smiled slightly. It's the best response.
Suddenly thinking that Concubine Tong had been in the palace for many years, Liang Yuexin asked: "Sister, how is the temperament of the Queen Mother on weekdays?" ”
"The Queen Mother?" Concubine Tong was stunned, she didn't expect Liang Yuexin to suddenly mention the Queen Mother. Slowed down and thought about it. He said: "The Queen Mother, sometimes kind, sometimes very serious. ”
Liang Yuexin nodded, and then asked the Queen Mother about her likes and dislikes, the way she handled things, and so on. Concubine Tong knew everything and told them one by one.
Listening to Concubine Tong's very high evaluation of the Queen Mother, Liang Yuexin remembered the history she knew. The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang in history assisted three generations of kings, and naturally had the ability that others could not replace.
Liang Yuexin determined her identity, and the Queen Mother would not give up easily. I was thinking about how to deal with her and fight with the famous Queen Mother.
The storm in the palace rose suddenly, and the outside of the palace was as calm as water.
The fat man misses Xue Qiao and Sister Xin. In the town of Yongning, the sun rises and the sun sets.
Although the business of the "matchmaker's wife" is not as good as before, it is not bad. Generally, there is a business in three or five days, and the fat man can cope with it alone.
When he was idle, the fat man would move a stool and sit in front of the store, his eyes fixed on the other side of the street. That's the direction to the capital. If Xue Qiao comes back, it is the only way to go.
"Fatty!" Zhao San patted the fat man on the shoulder behind his back.
The fat man turned around and smiled at Zhao San, Zhao San came to bring him baked cakes, right?
That's right, every day after collecting the stall, if there are leftover baked cakes, Zhao San will send them to the fat man.
The fat man eats a lot. It's something that the whole of Yongning Town knows. Anyway, the rest of the baked cakes can't be sold, and the waste is also a waste, so it's better to give it to the fat man.
Fat people are also happy to accept it. He doesn't have any hobbies, he just likes to eat. He is happy when he has something to eat.
"Fatty, are you sitting here waiting for Xue Qiao again?" Zhao San asked as he handed the baked cake to the fat man.
The fat man scratched his head, blushed, and smiled embarrassedly.
"Eight years is still a long time." Zhao San shook his head.
"No, it's only seven and a half years." The fat man was eating the pancakes. while retorting. He was counting the time to live, and the time when Xue Qiao came back was getting closer and closer day by day.
It's only been seven and a half years, and the fat man said it easily, as if it were a blink of an eye. Just as he eats hard baked cakes, he will also feel that it is a human delicacy. He was so satisfied, without asking too much.
Liang Yuexin will think of fat people for a long, long time. It's good to live a life as simply as a fat man. But in the end, she couldn't.
In Cining Palace, the Queen Mother's face was solemn.
I saw the Queen Mother half-lying on the chaise longue, and she felt a headache at the moment. Toya was massaging her head.
Toya's craftsmanship is excellent, but it can't relieve the Queen Mother's headache.
After a long time, the Queen Mother waved her hand and asked Toya to stop. The Queen Mother knew that she had a heart disease, and no matter how good Toya's skills were, it was useless.
"Go, get the crane top red ready." Suddenly, the Queen Mother said faintly.
Toya was stunned, and the Queen Mother finally decided. After a moment's pause, he retreated and prepared to go.
I don't know why, Liang Yuexin fidgeted all day, her eyelids kept beating, and her heart was inexplicably panicked.
It is said that tea can be frightened, she poured herself a cup of tea and was about to drink it.
Suddenly, Xiao Xinzi hurriedly came in and reported: "Little master, the Queen Mother invites you to Cining Palace." ”
"Bang-" With a bang, the cup in Liang Yuexin's hand slipped to the ground and shattered.
"Little master, are you alright?" Xue Qiao hurriedly stepped forward to check Liang Yuexin's hand. Fortunately, there were no injuries.
Hearing the words Queen Mother, Liang Yuexin was even more panicked.
"Little master, if you don't want to go alone, why don't you ask the emperor to go with you?" Xiao Xinzi proposed. After all, the Queen Mother sent someone to invite, and it is unreasonable not to go, but you can find the emperor together. In the emperor's presence, the little lord is also at ease.
Liang Yuexin shook her head, the emperor can't protect her all the time, she has to face it alone.
Liang Yuexin took a deep breath and said, "I'll do it alone." ”
In Cining Palace, there is still a smell of incense. But Liang Yuexin didn't feel peaceful and calm, but felt bored.
"The concubine greets the Queen Mother!" Liang Yuexin bowed deeply.
"Excuse me, go and sit next to the mourner's house." The Queen Mother pointed to the place next to her.
Liang Yuexin was in a trance for a moment, the Queen Mother should not treat her so kindly. However, she still settled down and sat down next to the Queen Mother with a smile.
The queen looked kind, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she still looked kind. Could it be that the Queen Mother has forgotten the past? No longer blame her? Liang Yuexin has no bottom in her heart.
The Queen Mother also looked at Liang Yuexin, this woman has a delicate and beautiful face, and her eyes are so beautiful that she can speak, no wonder the emperor likes her so much.
"Xiao Xin, how old are you this year?" The Queen Mother asked suddenly.
"Ahem......" Liang Yuexin coughed a few times in surprise. That sentence of Xiaoxin surprised her, how could the Queen Mother ever call her so kind. Liang Yuexin slowed down and responded: "Back to the Queen Mother, the concubine is almost seventeen years old. ”
This era is about imaginary years, if you count according to the age of one, Liang Yuexin has only reached the age of sixteen.
The Queen Mother nodded, this is the age of cardamom, it's a pity......
Then there was silence.
The Queen Mother didn't speak, and Liang Yuexin didn't dare to speak.
After a long time, the Queen Mother asked again: "Why is there any wish that has not been fulfilled?" ”
Wish? When it comes to wishes, what Liang Yuexin desires most is to live a long life. But if you confess to the Queen Mother, it shouldn't be good. So Liang Yuexin shook her head: "Back to the Queen Mother, the concubines don't have any special wishes. ”
"It is rumored that before Chang Fujin left the house, she was also a well-informed woman and very sensible."
After all, the Queen Mother mentioned Chang Fujin. But she suddenly mentioned that Liang Yuexin didn't know how to respond, opened her mouth but couldn't speak.
"The mourning family sees that you are also a sensible woman." The Queen Mother stared at Liang Yuexin's face and continued.
What does the Queen Mother mean by this? Liang Yuexin, who is not used to palace fighting, can't hear the Queen Mother's voice at all.
However, if she didn't understand, she couldn't help but respond, Liang Yuexin hurriedly knelt down and said, "The concubine is wrong, please punish the Queen Mother." ”
Liang Yuexin thinks so, taking the initiative to admit mistakes will get a chance to be punished lightly.
"Get up." The Queen Mother actually helped Liang Yuexin up with her own hands.
Liang Yuexin's eyes widened, and her surprise was beyond words. The Queen Mother really doesn't punish her anymore?
The Queen Mother passed a look at Toya next to her, and then Toya walked out.
After a while, Toya came in with a glass of wine.
"This is given to you by the mourners." (To be continued.) )
