Chapter 207: Conspiracy
In the Cining Palace, most of the palace lights have been extinguished, and the palace maids who are keeping vigil have also retreated in twos and threes, and only two are guarding outside the hall.
In the hall, a person with a jade crown in his hair, dressed in a dark blue robe, stood in one place, and in front of him, there was a beauty wearing palace clothes, but although the beauty was beautiful, it was like a drooping old man.
She looked at the person in front of her, subconsciously stiffened, and said coldly, "What else do you want me to do?" ”
Luo Yun shook his head, smiled casually, and took a few steps closer to her, so close that as long as he took another step forward, the two of them could fit closely, and he said in a low voice, "Sister Xuan, look at what you said, it seems that I threatened you." ”
The Empress Xun of the first emperor, who is also the current Empress Dowager Xun, was not bewitched by Luo Yun's words, but looked at Luo Yun coldly, but she was a little more defensive in her heart.
Luo Yun in front of her has lived in Xun's house since she was a child, although she is like Xun Zhan Xun Ce, she calls her sister, but she knows that he is never as simple as it seems on the surface, and his mind is extremely complex and difficult to understand, even his origin, this Bianjing, only a few people know about it.
And she didn't know his origin, only his purpose, such a ruthless purpose.
She really didn't dare to provoke such a person, but on the contrary, this person refused to let her go.
She tilted her head slightly, avoiding Luo Yun's gaze that seemed to have been quenched by poison, and only then did she feel a little more comfortable, "Luo Yun, I have nothing more to help you." ”
Luo Yun raised his eyebrows, seeing that she deviated from his gaze, but he turned his feet and looked at her again, this time, he leaned forward slightly, her face enlarged in front of his eyes, he hooked his lips and smiled, "No, Sister Xuan, you can help me." ”
After speaking, he reached out and touched her cheek, as if talking to himself, "Look, your skin is still smooth and delicate, wouldn't it be a pity if you stay in this palace and die of old age alone?" ”
Empress Dowager Xun was shocked, dodging his hands, she married the first emperor at the age of sixteen, and now it has only been ten years since the death of the first emperor, and she is patient and maintained on weekdays, which seems to be no different from that time.
The only difference is that her heart is now ruined.
"Please respect yourself."
Luo Yun retreated to his original position, the corners of his mouth also put away a smile, and looked at her with a grim gaze, "Sister Xuan, this Great Zhou has been spreading, half of this country is reserved for the Xun family, otherwise, it will not be the queen of generations, and it will be left to the women of the Xun family, but unfortunately, there are no unmarried concubines in the Xun family now." ”
Whether it is the crown prince or His Royal Highness King Ning Xiao Xuanqing, the concubine they marry is not a woman in the Xun family, no matter which of the two of them becomes the emperor and the queen, it is impossible for the woman of the Xun family.
But now, Xiao Xuanqing will hold an enthronement ceremony on the same day, and Murong Yuhua will also be crowned queen on the same day, even if he says this, what's the use, after all, there are no more women in the Xun family.
Unless you wait for Xun Zhan to become your own son, but you have to wait for many years, who can wait.
But Empress Dowager Xun knew that Luo Yun would not say this for no reason, she looked at Luo Yun coldly, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Luo Yun looked at her intently, as if he was obsessed with it, and the words he said made Empress Dowager Xun completely cold, "Murong Yuhua can't be the queen." ”
Empress Dowager Xun was stunned, and looked at Luo Yun puzzled, counting it, Murong Yuhua can also be regarded as her cousin, "But Ah Hua is the concubine of the Third Highness, it is impossible for the Third Highness to ascend the throne as the emperor, and Ah Hua is the concubine, besides, my aunt will also be distressed." ”
The aunt in her mouth is now Mrs. Marquis of Changping.
Hearing this, Luo Yun's eyes darkened, but for a moment, he returned to normal, and the words he said with a smile were full of solemn tone, "I'm going to let her die." ”
Empress Dowager Xun was suddenly startled and stood up, "What are you talking nonsense?" Since you were a child, you know very well how good your aunt has been to you, but Ah Hua is her aunt's daughter-in-law, and if Ah Hua dies, my aunt is afraid that she will collapse. ”
Luo Yun put away the smile on the corner of his mouth, and when he heard this, his eyes seemed to be cold to the bone, and he looked at the Empress Dowager Xun and said, "Sister Xuan, her heart is hard, just a daughter died, it's nothing." ”
"Luo Yun, what nonsense are you talking about, I don't agree." Empress Dowager Xun was angry, but in front of Luo Yun, even if she was angry again, she had to suppress it.
Luo Yun was indeed a little excited in his heart, but after only a moment, he regained his calmness, and then calmly looked at Empress Dowager Xun and said, "Sister Xuan, just say, are you helping or not helping this favor?" ”
Although Empress Dowager Xun didn't know why Luo Yun had to be like this, she remembered that her aunt and Ah Hua were innocent, so she couldn't be ruthless, so she could only say, "Don't help." ”
Luo Yun was surprised, stretched out his hand, and said that he was very helpless, so he said, "Since this is the case, then I have to change the emperor." ”
Empress Dowager Xun had just put down her heart, but because of this sentence, she took two steps towards Luo Yun, collected her thoughts, and persuaded her with tactful words in a low voice, "Ah Yun, don't mess around anymore, because of the death of the first emperor, this Great Zhou is already unstable, and there is still Xiliao eyeing you outside, so don't add to the chaos, okay?" ”
Empress Dowager Xun was gentle to Luo Yun, and Luo Yun didn't fight again in the end, but just mentioned his request again, "Sister Xuan, since you want to make the Great Zhou Dynasty stable, then you can only choose between changing the emperor and the empress, I know that Sister Xuan is the most sensible, right!" ”
Then, he raised his head slightly, his eyes disdainful, "In my opinion, the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou are not worth mentioning, Sister Xuan, if you have an answer, just tell me!" ”
Thinking about it, he said, "Guarding outside the hall, that palace maid called Ximing, when Sister Xuan thinks about it, I will tell her to call me." ”
Empress Dowager Xun's eyes froze, and she exhaled slightly, and then responded, "Okay." ”
Seeing that Empress Dowager Xun responded, Luo Yun said, "Then I will retire first." ”
After saying that, he walked out of the Cining Hall and disappeared into the deep twilight of the night.
Empress Dowager Xun sat a little weakly on the side, remembering what Luo Yun had said, her heart was very upset, even if her hands were clenched and her nails were embedded in the flesh, she couldn't relieve this irritability.
After a long time, she stood up and called, "Cherish the tea." ”
The door of the hall opened, and a palace maid with her head bowed walked in, slowly walked to the Empress Dowager Xun's side, bent down, and said, "The Empress Dowager." ”
Empress Dowager Xun glanced at Xi Ming, who lowered her head and was very humble, she didn't seem to feel strange in the past, but today she looked at Xi Ming, but she felt that the woman in front of her had changed from a somewhat timid and quiet person to a person who was calm and knew how to retreat.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have cherished Ming for so many years, but now, the person she has carefully cultivated is going to betray her.
Thinking about it, she slowly spoke, "When did you betray the mourning family?" ”
Xi Ming paused, raised her head slightly, and her eyes touched her gaze, but she lowered her head without arrogance or impatience, and said, "Xi Ming did not betray her mother. ”
Empress Dowager Xun snorted coldly, if this is not a betrayal, what is it, "Say, now that the matter is over, what can the mourning family do to you?" ”
Xi Ming shook her head, and then said, "Xi Ming just chose the best path for Niangniang, which is good for Niangniang." ”
Empress Dowager Xun smiled bitterly, is this for her good? As the queen mother, she is restrained by others, and now she is just a palace maid, she dares to talk to her like this, is she good?
The person she cultivated naturally knew that she couldn't ask anything from Xi Ming's mouth, so she could only wave her hand, "You go out!" ”
Xi Ming didn't move, and continued, "Xi Ming serves the mother and rests!" ”
Empress Dowager Xun glanced at her, her eyes were like torches, "No, you go and call Weiming in." ”
Xi Ming didn't force it, and when he answered, he walked out of the hall and called Wei Ming in.
Wei Ming is not the same as Xi Ming, but was later elected to the palace, but with the Empress Dowager Xun, the Empress Dowager Xun made the decision to change her name, and Xi Ming is the same first-class palace maid next to her, and she also won her trust, but she is not clear now, Wei Ming is the same as Xi Ming, and has already become someone else's person.
Wei Ming came into the hall, blessed her, and said to her, "Niangniang, the maid serves you to sleep." ”
She didn't have any energy to worry about it, she just nodded, "Hmm." (To be continued.) )
