228 Quarrels
The emperor was originally anxious because of the affairs of the Xin family, although he wanted to use this incident to teach the Xin family a lesson, and by the way, he cut the limelight of the Xin family, but he never thought that he would completely pull out the Xin family.
He thought that things would soon be under control, but unexpectedly, they were completely out of his control. He gradually realized that this was a huge conspiracy against the Xin family. It's a pity that the matter has come to this point, and the evidence of the crimes listed is almost conclusive, even if he knows that many of them are forged, and he can't produce evidence in a short time.
He sent people to escort the Xin family back to Beijing, and sent heavy troops to surround the Xin family, which was actually a kind of protection. However, neither Xin Zhan nor the rest of the Xin family realized his hard work, Xin Zhan actually killed the escorted officers and soldiers and absconded! The Xin family also wanted to escape.
This has simply touched the emperor's scales! The Xin family not only didn't trust him, but they didn't take him seriously!
Originally, he heard that Empress Xin was sick, and he suppressed his anger and came to see her, but who knew that as soon as he walked in, he heard Queen Xin's words full of resentment!
The Emperor only felt that a heavy hammer had been slammed into his brain, making his already somewhat painful brain even more uncomfortable. It's just that the Xin family doesn't trust him, but Queen Xin has been married to him for many years, and the husband and wife have a very strong relationship, he never thought that Queen Xin would distrust him so much!
And what did she say? Could it be that in her eyes, he is ungrateful? The Xin family helped him establish the Great Xi Dynasty, but over the years, he has also given the Xin family enough benefits and glory. He admits that he doesn't owe the Xin family at all. However, Empress Xin obviously didn't think so.
He also knew when he heard the words just now, it turned out that Queen Xin had always thought so in her heart!
In fact, Queen Xin was also angry and attacked. It's out of proportion to speak, and it's not necessarily like that. In other words, it's the past. The emperor can understand it if he thinks about it. But the emperor has also been on fire recently, and he is unwilling to be used by the mastermind behind the scenes. and the wrath of Xin Zhan and absconding in fear of sin.
When people are angry, where is there still reason?
He strode in, looked at Queen Xin with cold eyes, and for the first time lost the temperature of the words he spoke: "Ling'er, do you really think so in your heart?" ”
At this time, something happened to the Xin family, and Empress Xin was already panicked, and she asked to see the emperor many times, but she was blocked back, and she couldn't even see her son, plus she was sick. The mind is even more fragile and sensitive.
She sensed the coldness in the emperor's gaze, and a string called 'reason' that had been taut completely broken, she raised her chin slightly and looked at the emperor angrily: "Yes, that's what I thought!" Anqi, I only want to ask you one thing, are you willing to let go of the Xin family? ”
The emperor was also stimulated by her to become angry, coupled with the fact that he had experienced the gentleness of his favorite concubine in recent days, and he was extremely dissatisfied when he looked at Empress Xin's cold face. A woman should be like a woman. With men as the sky, Queen Xin likes to fight with him everywhere, how can there be a woman's gentleness?
Men have always been visual creatures, especially Anqi has been emperor for many years. has been carefully held by the women in the palace, and he has seen more informed and interesting women, and Queen Xin has become more and more cold and hard to get along with.
In addition, Queen Xin has recently become ill. The complexion is really bad, and she has no fat powder on her face. His face was an ominous gray, and his hair was disheveled and unkempt. If Empress Xin makes good use of it. If you make a gesture of pity when you see me, you may not be able to make the emperor feel pity.
But now that her temper has risen, she refuses to compromise at all. This appearance is seen in the eyes of the emperor, and then compared with the delicate makeup of the favorite concubine and the gentle and petty, it is immediately superior.
The emperor also had a temper, and he became more and more dissatisfied with Empress Xin in his heart. This dissatisfaction, Empress Xin's original advantages have all become disadvantages, which makes the emperor more and more unhappy.
He couldn't even help but wonder, how could he have been in love with such a woman for so many years? Why hadn't he found out her true face earlier?
Such a Xin Ling, where is he still worthy of being the mother of a country?
As soon as such a thought popped up, a strong panic suddenly appeared in the emperor's heart. He subconsciously felt that such an idea was wrong, and wanted to suppress it, but Empress Xin added another fire because she didn't get the emperor's reply, and she urged: "Anqi! You haven't answered me yet? ”
Because of this sentence, the thought that was about to be suppressed immediately came to me, and it quickly grew wildly. The emperor looked at Empress Xin with great disappointment: "What do you want me to do?" ”
Empress Xin looked at such an emperor, and her heart gradually began to beat the drum, she realized that the situation was very bad, but she couldn't resist the temptation to save her family, so she still said: "This time someone deliberately targeted the Xin family, my brother must have been wronged." Anqi, I hope you can investigate this matter thoroughly, return my brother, and return the Xin family to a clean slate! ”
After hearing this, the emperor looked at Empress Xin with even more disappointment, and he asked, "Your brother was wronged, what about those soldiers and people who died in vain?" Who will give them justice? ”
Empress Xin frowned, and couldn't help but refuge loudly: "But what does this have to do with my brother?" He was wronged! Anqi, don't you have to use the Xin family as a scapegoat if you can't catch the mastermind behind the scenes? ”
The emperor actually sent a secret guard to investigate thoroughly after discovering that the situation was wrong, but the information found out made him frightened. There is more than one mastermind behind the scenes, and this matter has implicated too many people and forces. If he really wants to investigate thoroughly, he will inevitably oppose these people.
If this is the case, the entire Great Xi Dynasty will be plunged into great turmoil!
Although the city was finally recaptured and the Cauchy tribe was driven back to the Northern Desert Wasteland, this time the battle suffered heavy losses. The dead soldiers and people, the corpses are piled up, and the Xin family has obviously become the target of public criticism, even if he wants to help the Xin family wash away their grievances, but Xin Zhan absconded in fear of crime, and the Xin family conspired to escape and captured the stolen goods, and the matter was no longer something he could control.
Xin Ling is his queen, and the Xin family is a relative of the emperor, even if he helps the Xin family wash away their grievances at this time, I am afraid that he will be said to be partial!
The rumors are as fierce as a tiger, and the people's hearts can be said to be, as the emperor of the Great Xi Dynasty, he must lead by example, and he must not make mistakes when he is about to act, and give those people a chance again!
Sooner or later, he will find out the black hands behind the scenes and get rid of them one by one, but not now. However, Empress Xin was obviously not satisfied with such a result.
What especially made the emperor angry and chilling was Empress Xin's unscrupulous words. As long as it's a man, it's useless to tolerate being scolded. What's more, he is still the king of a country, and the person who scolds him is still his wife!
The anger in the emperor's body almost turned into substance, and he looked at Empress Xin coldly, his gaze almost frostbitten her. Empress Xin also realized that she had said the wrong thing, but her temperament did not allow her to admit defeat at this time. What's more, if she can't make the emperor change his mind to help the Xin family, the Xin family is afraid that it will be completely finished!
So, although Empress Xin knew that she was wrong, she still stubbornly looked at the emperor, and asked uncompromisingly: "Anqi, do you know what the Xin family means to me, you obviously know that the Xin family is innocent, do you really want to watch the Xin family die?" Can't we let go of the Xin family after so many years of relationship? ”
Women are sensual creatures, and this is especially true of Empress Xin. It's a pity that the emperor, as a man, is a proper rational animal! In the eyes of Empress Xin, she was talking to the emperor about her feelings, hoping that he could let the Xin family go. In the eyes of the emperor, Empress Xin was using their feelings to kidnap him and threaten him!
So the emperor sneered and asked, "I want to know more about what this relationship is in your eyes!" After that, he didn't look at Empress Xin again, turned around and walked away.
As soon as he left, Empress Xin had a strong sense of panic in her heart, she subconsciously knew that she couldn't let the emperor go out like this, but she had been bedridden for many days, and her body was already very weak. She rolled over and tried to get out of bed, but fell directly to the ground. There was a thick blanket on the floor, but it didn't hurt, and there wasn't even a sound.
Empress Xin stretched her arms towards the emperor's back, and her voice finally carried weakness and panic: "Anqi! Anzi, don't go! You're back! ”
However, the emperor listened to Empress Xin's shouts, but he only heard willfulness. He even felt that the shouts were like slaps in the face. Not only can I not have the slightest pity, but I only feel ashamed.
Empress Xin obviously didn't expect such an outcome, tears welled down her face, and she curled up helplessly on the ground. She couldn't figure it out, it was not easy to see the emperor, why was this the result? Could it be that the emperor really doesn't have her in his heart?
The more Empress Xin thought about it, the more desperate she became, she buried her face in the fluffy blanket and whimpered in a low voice.
The palace maid who left because of the emperor's arrival heard the sound and hurriedly came over to help her back to the bed, and Empress Xin wiped her tears with her sleeve and asked the palace maid to bring her a mirror. The palace maid saw that her face was pale and her eyes were red, and she really didn't want her to be stimulated anymore, so she said perfunctorily: "Niangniang, why did you suddenly think of asking for a mirror?" ”
Empress Xin's mind was extremely sensitive at this time, and even a little nervous, she narrowed her eyes slightly and glared at the palace maid, and urged unhappily: "Quickly give it to the palace, what?" Do you feel that this palace has lost power, so you refuse to obey? ”
The palace maid's face turned pale, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense, so she quickly took the mirror and carefully sent it to Queen Xin.
Empress Xin's personality is actually very good, and she is also very tolerant of her subordinates. The palace maid knew that she was stimulated to say that kind of thing, and she shouldn't have thought about it. But those words were really heartbreaking, and when the palace maid heard it at first glance, she really didn't feel good in her heart.
She was looking at her feet with complicated eyes, but she heard Empress Xin choke again. The mirror was casually thrown aside by Empress Xin, who hugged the soft quilt and cried very sadly: "It turns out that I have become like this, no wonder he would treat me like that." (To be continued......)
PS: When I wrote this chapter, I was particularly touched, many people were excited when they quarreled, and they couldn't hold back their mouths, and things that could have been explained clearly ended up in a bad end. The queen here is a liberal arts student, with a more delicate mind and a more stubborn personality. The emperor had his own concerns, and the old nature didn't like Empress Xin to give him no face, so he broke up unhappily.
