Yanxi Palace

The Queen Mother and the Queen sat upright, and the full moon stood with their heads bowed, silent.

An hour later, Zhao Gonggong hurriedly entered the hall.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the Divine Stone has been served." Zhao Gonggong's voice fell, the queen mother's face was obviously relieved, and the queen also comforted the queen mother with a relieved smile.

"Queen Mother, look, now that the Divine Stone is in place, you have also gone to a big business."

The Queen Mother nodded, although she did not show a smile, but her tense expression before was obviously eased a lot.

Looking at the full moon still standing in the middle, the Queen Mother waved her hand to let Zhao Gonggong sit on the full moon.

The legs of the full moon station are a little numb, but fortunately, this big drama is about to come to an end.

"Linghu Full Moon, your method does work, the mourning family didn't expect you to be so talented at a young age, and your strategy is not inferior to a man. The mourners would like to hear your thoughts on today's events. The Queen Mother finally spoke up, but the words she said obviously made the Queen stunned.

It's just a yellow-haired girl, why bother listening to her thoughts? Doesn't the Queen Mother know that this Linghu Full Moon is a broom star?

The full moon raised her head to meet the majestic gaze of the Queen Mother, with a respectful and cautious face.

"The Queen Mother has won the award. The courtiers just have the heart to share the worries and solve problems for the queen mother. As for the matter of Weiyang Palace today, if the queen mother asked about the Shenshi, the full moon has already said that she wants to solve more problems for Taifen, as for Xue Yamei's matter, the courtiers can only tell the truth, and the courtiers used some extraordinary means in the process of this matter, although it is for self-protection, but there are also elements of deceiving the queen mother, and asking the queen mother to atone for her sins. ”

"Deception?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and looked at the full moon.

The queen was also stunned for a moment.

"What kind of deception?" The Queen Mother was not necessarily angry at the moment, but curiosity prevailed. 、

Full Moon got up and knelt on the ground, telling the truth.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the full moon was wronged today and almost lost her life in the Weiyang Palace, and later the Queen Mother saw that the full moon was fair. The full moon is grateful to the Queen Mother for saving her life. ”

The full moon is a word of gratitude first, and what will be said later is the most important thing.

"The courtiers were more anxious than anyone else to know who the murderer was, because this was related to the personal safety of the courtiers in the future, since someone was secretly trying to disadvantage the courtiers, then this time it was not successful, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no second and third time, in fact, the blue leaf mint is the courtier's nonsense, it is just a refreshing sachet carried by the courtier, the courtiers guessed that the murderer was in Weiyang Palace, and was familiar with the time of the handover of the guards of Weiyang Palace, so that the scope was narrowed a lot. I have to say that this time I can verify the innocence of the courtiers, first, the majesty of the queen mother is here, and second, the luck of the courtiers! Because before this, the courtiers were not completely sure that they could verify it clearly. ”

Except for the person who concealed that Bai Yu was the second lady, the others truthfully informed the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother listened intently, and her gaze at the full moon was sometimes bright, sometimes deep.

The queen carefully observed the reaction on the face of the Queen Mother, and she didn't know how much to believe when it came to the full moon.

"Linghu Full Moon, you still have the courage to lie to the mourning family and say it, do you know how the mourning family will punish you?" The Queen Mother spoke in a deep voice.

"The courtiers only know that the queen mother will reward and punish clearly, and the courtiers don't know what kind of rewards and punishments they are." Full Moon had an innocent and innocent expression.

The queen mother's phoenix eyes blinked, and her eyes looking at the full moon were uncertain, which made the queen even more incomprehensible.

"Rewards and punishments? In this way, the best way to deal with what you did today is that you have already made a mistake and can not be punished? ”

The Queen Mother is worthy of being the Queen Mother, and she broke the full moon in one sentence.

"The courtiers are ashamed." Full Moon spoke softly.

For a while, the atmosphere that had eased down became tense again.

The queen always watched the full moon and the queen mother talked, but whether it was the full moon's mind or the queen mother's thoughts, the queen looked at it in the clouds, and it was naturally inconvenient to talk too much.

"Do you know how to be ashamed? Don't you know what it means to die?! The Queen Mother's voice suddenly cooled down, and in the phoenix eyes, the sharp light was coldly fixed on the top of the full moon.

The full moon raised her head to meet the sharp eyes of the Queen Mother, and said resolutely,

"Courtiers know that death is the loss of a qiē, but for some people, death is a relief. Conversely, it can also be said that being alive does not mean having a qiē, and perhaps losing a qiē while alive is the most unacceptable. If the courtiers didn't seem to save themselves with white lies, I was afraid that the courtiers would become the kind of people who lost a qiē even though they were alive. The courtiers are just ordinary women, naturally afraid of losing, so they dare to deceive the queen mother, the courtiers dare not say that they are forced to do so, but it is also for a simple wish of all ordinary people - to live. That's all. ”

The full moon is full of words, and every sentence reveals her cold temperament.

Not humble or arrogant, but not leaky.

When the Queen Mother asked her just now what she meant by death, who knew the monstrous waves that were set off at that moment in the deepest part of her heart?

Who else knows what it feels like to die better than her?

Who better knows than she that there is only one breath left in life and all the feeling is lost?

The Queen Mother who said the full moon was obviously slightly stunned. has lived for such a long time in the harem, and it is the first time that the Queen Mother has heard such words. I can't tell if it's a harsh or sharp feeling, but it falls into the bottom of your heart and makes you have to take it.

I can't find any flaws, but it makes the listener feel an invisible sense of oppression.

"Isn't it a contradiction that you have the courage to live and hide your mourning family?" The Queen Mother spoke again, as if she was questioning the full moon, but her tone was much slower than just now.

At this moment, no one saw the tense nerves of the full moon quietly relax, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Queen Mother's style of acting has always been vigorous and resolute, if the Queen Mother really blamed her at this moment, she would not have given her a chance to speak again, and would have pulled her down a long time ago.

This big drama gambled until the moment ago, and it was still frightening and dangerous, and it was not until this moment that the curtain came to an end.

The tone of the full moon's voice remained unchanged, and it was still a respectful and humble attitude, "Back to the Queen Mother, in front of life-saving and honesty, the courtiers choose to be honest with the Queen Mother, in the face of life-saving and deception, the deception chosen by the courtiers is only temporary, life is hope, but it also needs to be grateful and upright." ”

The words of the full moon made the Queen Mother fall silent for a while.

The queen was carefully observing, but there was a feeling that she was going in, this Linghu Manyue was not at all like the look and tone that a fourteen-year-old girl should have, but it was very similar to the feeling that Lin Dongyao's mother, Concubine An, gave her, her mind was deep and elusive, once she wanted to know more, she would fall into it unconsciously, and there was a feeling of immersion in boundless darkness.

The queen retracted her thoughts and came back to her senses, and when she looked at the full moon again, she found that all she had on her face was a respectful and humble look, but the feeling she gave herself a moment ago was obviously unfathomable!

"Linghu full moon, do you know - the mourning family can punish you today, and you can also reward you. But you are the first one to make the mourning family in a dilemma. That's it, since the mourning family has decided not to blame you, what about rewarding you. ”

The Queen Mother's words changed, the full moon's eyes flickered, and her face was still as calm as water.

The Queen Mother is a vigorous and resolute person on the surface, but in fact she is very well versed in human feelings, although the full moon can be blamed, but that is equivalent to telling everyone, the full moon deceived the Queen Mother with blue leaf mint, it is better to reward her openly, attract everyone's attention to the divine stone, and naturally few people pay attention to the blue leaf mint.

This blue-leaf mint is not the Queen Mother's words in the end, she said that if she doesn't, she will disappear from everyone's sight.

"Courtiers thank the Empress Dowager for her grace."

Now that the Queen Mother has spoken, the full moon will naturally follow along.

Among them, the process and many contradictions, as long as the Queen Mother chooses to ignore them, the dust will settle in the real sense of the full moon.

"Gonggong Zhao, take the Dingfeng Bead that Northern Liao paid tribute to last month." The Queen Mother's phoenix eyes shone brightly, and she commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes, Queen Mother." Zhao Gonggong bowed down to receive the order and immediately went down to prepare.

When the queen heard the three words of Dingfeng Zhu, her face was obviously stiff.

The Northern Liao envoy paid tribute to three Dingfeng beads last month, the emperor left one, and the other two were given to the queen mother. The Queen Mother has already said before that she will reward one of them to the sixth princess Lin Erqin, who is about to marry and kiss, and the Queen Mother has been thinking about another Dingfeng Pearl, who knows that the Queen Mother is going to reward the Dingfeng Pearl to Linghu Full Moon today?

The queen was silent on her face, but her heart was full of waves.

Zhao Gonggong took out the brocade box containing the Dingfeng beads, and the brocade box was opened, and the brown velvet cloth was surrounded in a circle, carefully setting off a pink bead the size of a broad bean in the middle.

Wind beads are rare, and pink wind beads are even better.

It can be seen how much the Queen Mother attaches great importance to the worship of the sacred stone. The queen only hated herself for not being able to come up with a way to please the queen mother with the full moon of the fox at the moment, otherwise Dingfeng Zhu would be hers.

Women in the world, even if their mothers are like queens in the world, they can't escape the love and attention for jewelry.

"Linghu full moon, this is one of the only three remaining wind beads in the world, the mourning family will reward it to you, you are good to keep it, and continue to share the worries and solve problems for the mourning family in the future. Moreover, you are still young, and it is not suitable for you to be crowned an official, but the mourning family knows in their hearts that in the future, the mourning family will hold a palace banquet again, and there will be a time for you to show your strengths. ”

The Queen Mother not only rewarded the full moon and fixed the wind beads, but also mentioned the palace banquet in the future. In the mind of the Queen Mother, it is obvious that the full moon has passed the first hurdle.

The queen's brows furrowed without a trace, compared to Linghu Manyue's table today, Linghu Pingxue wants to win back this city in the future, but I am afraid that there will never be a chance.

――

After tossing like this for most of the night, it was almost dawn when the full moon walked out of Yanxi Palace.

The east is covered with a touch of fish belly white, and the flickering light and darkness of a tall figure standing quietly under the shadow of the swaying trees.

Full Moon looked at the back, turning on tiptoe, trying to get around the side.

Some people, some things, are still far away.
