Chapter 244: Seeking Death

Once the palace has passed the first shift, several doors separating the two palace groups will be locked, after all, strictly speaking, Qingning Palace is no longer a harem, and there is more than one queen mother living in it. These doors, there is no special thing that will not be called, even if it is to be opened, you have to hold the warrants of the queen mother, the queen, and the imperial concubine who have used the treasure seal. When a few people went out, it was already the first shift, Xu Xun was still thinking about this matter, I didn't know how the queen would deal with it, I didn't want her to be generous, and the warrant lit up, but directly called the door all the way over, and didn't care about the shocks that would inevitably be caused by this.

It is true that the difference between the imperial sister-in-law and the queen mother is so bad that the queen naturally doesn't care about these details anymore at this time. Besides, King Xiang has a lot of heirs of his own, if he inherits the heirs, let alone bolts, I am afraid that even Zhuang'er will have to be careful of his own life, after Taizong succeeded to the throne in the Song Dynasty, none of the four bloodlines left by Taizu could avoid death, in fact, if it were not for this, Xu Xun would not have come out with the queen. Zhuang'er was raised by her, needless to say, it is a bolt, at a young age, she was taken away from the throne, and it is pitiful, not to mention that if there is a disaster of killing, then, the situation after the emperor goes is really too bleak.

There are faint lights in the direction of Qingning Palace in the distance, looking from the sedan chair, there is almost no difference between the usual thousands of nights, but the Chang'an Palace is approaching in the field of vision, the lights are dim, the building is cold, a bleak and lonely scene, Xu Xun put down the sedan curtain and asked the queen, "Have you been here in the past few days?" ”

She expected that the queen was not desperate and would not come to her, and the queen nodded slightly, which also proved her conjecture.

"I haven't stepped into any of these two palaces." With a slight sneer on her face, she looked at Xu Xun again, "So, it's up to you to call the door in a while." ”

Xu Xun looked at her deeply and said, "You have to get ready." ”

The queen snorted and lifted her chin, and she said lightly, "When I went to look for you, I was ready. ”

Between her and the queen, strictly speaking, she has always been ignorant and 'back' the queen, how much lighter is this compared to the hatred of the immortal master and her? Not to mention that Xu Xun agreed to go out, not because of his friendship with the queen, or because he saw her bow her head and beg for help, she was happy, a large part of the reason was for the two children, for her friendship with Emperor Daxing, the immortal master did not have a boy, and it was hard to say how much affection there was between him and Emperor Daxing. Judging from Emperor Daxing's strictness to her, she has feelings in her heart, and she is afraid that she hates more than love. In such a situation, how to persuade the immortal master to stand up for the bolt, Xu Xun herself had no clue, she didn't even know if the immortal master would let her in.

Xu Xun was still pessimistic, despite this eventful time, although she was still in detention before, and now she suddenly appeared, and she came to the door late at night to ask to see, the immortal master still didn't turn her away, and the palace maid who went to report quickly opened the door, put the sedan chair into the Chang'an Palace, and carried it directly into the courtyard of the immortal master's daily cultivation, Xu Xun whispered to the queen, "You find a warm place to wait." As soon as he bowed, he got out of the sedan chair and walked hurriedly to the house.

The monks are so good, the group has changed into plain clothes, but the immortal master is still wearing a Taoist robe as usual, and there is still a hosta on his head, seeing Xu Xun come in, she made a joke, Xu Xun saw that she was still using a white jade whisk. My heart sank slightly: It seems that the immortal master has no affection for the emperor at all, and he may even have a deep hatred, otherwise, the one who goes is the greatest, and he can't even maintain his external respect. It is impossible for the immortal master not to even see through this, she is dressed ordinarily now, I am afraid that it is the result of several suppressions, and I am afraid that she has already worn red and green, beating gongs and drums.

"Sister." She slumped, not knowing how to speak.

The immortal master was afraid that she had already noticed the clues, she didn't ask Xu Xun how he came out, but said, "Don't leave if you come, stay with me, and in the future, we sisters can be companions." ”

Xu Xun's heart suddenly warmed: she lived in that palace before, no one knew whether she was dead or alive, and it was too easy for the Queen Mother to execute her, and she couldn't meet any resistance at all. In the Chang'an Palace, if someone comes to give death, there is still an immortal master in front of him - not to mention the final result, for the immortal master who completely admires the queen mother's breath, it is really not easy to make this promise.

With these words in front, the rest of the things are even more difficult to speak, Xu Xun wanted to speak several times and stopped, and finally said in a low voice, "Sister, Sun is waiting in the hall, do you want her to come in and talk?" ”

The immortal master was really not surprised, she lifted the corners of her lips, "At this time, you think it's not so good to be a queen?" ”

Xu Xun sighed, "Even if it's not for yourself, it's for the sake of your eldest brother's blood." It's okay, Zhuang'er was brought up by me, and I can't bear to see him lose his foothold. ”

Yu Qing, he can't impress the immortal master, and Yu Li, getting involved in the battle for the throne is not good for the immortal master at all. The queen's move was so desperate that Xu Xun didn't know how to persuade her, seeing that the immortal master was smiling and silent, completely unmoved, she also sighed deeply and stopped persuading. ――If you are still willing to see the queen's face, then you can still fight after all, and now the immortal master doesn't even want to see the queen, what else is there to say? I can only hope that the elders outside can withstand it, and don't let the Queen Mother's thoughts come true.

Thinking of this, a shadow suddenly flashed in her heart: others are fine, but she can't believe the Dongyang Yang Mianren in the cabinet ministers. This person is the best at speculation in his life, starting from the beginning of the fortune and the upper position, the battle for the storage position, the battle for the posterity, several times are speculations with a very obvious purpose, in addition to the performance in the posterior dispute, the emperor derogatory a few words, the results of his speculation are also good, in fact, it can also be seen that this person's talent. The remaining two Lord Yang, she doesn't know, often hear the emperor say that Lord Shoufu Xiyang is a humble gentleman, although she doesn't believe that this faintly the head of the hundred officials will be a solid eye, but at least as far as the emperor says, this person is still face-saving, compared with the shameless Lord Dongyang, I am afraid that at a critical moment, it will inevitably suffer.

There is also Lord Nanyang, she has vaguely heard that this person has a lot to do with the Queen Mother. Of course, this does not mean that he is the queen mother's house slave, as a minister, he must have his own position on many things, and he will not obey the words of the benefactor. However, at such a sensitive moment, even the slightest possibility is reassuring.

After all, the bolt is too young, and in the palace now, the queen mother covers the sky with one hand...... If the officials really don't obey, and the Queen Mother's determination is firmer, then she can directly cause a fait accompli, and in this way, King Xiang is the most legitimate heir......

The sense of foreboding and uneasiness in my heart is a little heavier, and the bolt is just right, if the Queen Mother wants to go to the extreme, Zhuang'er will not be able to escape at all. She has watched this child grow up little by little, how can she bear to watch him die?

There were thousands of turns in her heart, and her determination, which was still a little weak, became even stronger, but Xu Xun didn't want to persecute the immortal master, she was not optimistic that the immortal master could move the queen mother. Then he got up and saluted again, and said in a low voice, "If you can come back with fate, let's have tea with my sister again, thank you for your hard work, I understand my kindness, but I am different from my sister, and I can't stay here today." ”

The immortal master's eyes shot a complicated look, but he sighed, "He treats you like that, and it is indeed worth your run for Zhu'er and Zhuang'er." ”

Now that Xu Xun no longer asked her for help, she opened her mouth to reveal a little information, "Actually, as far as I know, the old lady is also playing the drum in her heart now. If she doesn't set up a bolt, it may not be because she doesn't like the queen, after all, she has been old over the years, even if she can't raise a bolt, when he grows up, most of the old ladies will ......"

If he has set up a bolt, then it is impossible for him to live in front of the queen, but it is possible that he will be raised by the queen mother, the child is eight years old this year, and he has feelings for ten years. In the future, whether in terms of etiquette or affection, at most the two palaces will be respected, and there is no reason for the queen to overpower the queen mother. Even if he is really not familiar with it, the Queen Mother will be seventy years later in ten years, and her life is rare for seventy years. Let's take care of it, besides, by that time, she has been in charge of national politics for ten years, even if it is this prestige, it will be enough for her to press the queen to the day she dies. Anyway, as an ancestor, there is only a difference between the two candidates, and there is only a difference between the benefits and the bad, and it is not a matter to say that she will lose all the games if she is not careful.

Xu Xun's expression moved, "So, the old man isβ€”"

"It's just disgusting." The immortal master nodded, "She always feels that Zhu'er is more like Concubine Luo." ”

Concubine Luo's personality, she is honest when she says it is good, and cowardly when she says it is ugly, she has lived by the queen's side for all these years, and she has not been blocked once. If she learns from her, won't she be killed by the ministers in the future? Now Sanyang is still honest and promising, but what if the villain takes the position in the future? What if the Bolt is unable to control and coordinate the relationship between the Celebrant and the Cabinet? Xu Xun also understood the Queen Mother's thoughts, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's just that even if King Xiang is on the throne, I'm afraid that he will not be in the right position." In order to consolidate the position, the storm will not necessarily have less consequences than the incompetence of the bolt. ”

"Who can see what is to come?" The immortal master did not deny Xu Xun's statement, "If you can see it through, the old lady will not hesitate." At the moment, these two people are not the best...... Alas, it's a pity that the most haode choice has already killed himself. ”

Speaking of Zuihou, she smiled slightly, as if she was gloating, but there was a hint of complexity in her expression.

Xu Xun was silent, and was about to get up to say goodbye, when there was a small commotion outside, and someone said loudly, "Why stop me?" ”

Although it was far away, it could be heard that it was the queen's voice, Xu Xun was a little surprised, and glanced at the immortal master. The immortal master pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled, and then ordered left and right, "That's it, let her in." ”

As soon as the words fell, the queen threw her sleeves and broke in, and several little Taoist aunts behind her hurriedly followed, shouting softly in their mouths, naturally there was a lot of chaos. The queen didn't care, she looked at the immortal master, and said in a deep voice, "Anyway, what do you want me to do before I am willing to go to Qingning Palace." ”

The more determined she was, the better the Immortal Master's mood seemed to be, and she smiled and said quietly, "So far, what else can you give me?" ”

The queen said categorically, "If you can successfully ascend the throne, you will be given to raise in the future, I expect that the old lady will take him with her, and besides, whenever he has spare time, he will serve by your side." ”

The immortal master was slightly moved, "Then you won't have much time to be with him." ”

The queen smiled miserably, "I'll raise him for seven years." ”

"This ...... But outsiders are dedicated to cultivating, I'm in Chang'an Palace, I'm afraid that he will be bored when he comes, so why force the child? The immortal master pondered for a moment, but in the end he was still unmoved.

The queen's expression darkened, she gritted her teeth, and glanced at Xu Xun as if asking for help, Xu Xun glanced at her, and I don't know if the queen understood, or if she had this plan, she said, "Ah Huang's dowry, I will double it for her, and allow her to enter the palace often and be your companion." ”

The immortal master also looked at Xu Xun, Xu Xun gave her an apologetic glance, the immortal master seemed to shake his head slightly in soothing, and then said, "Now these princesses, only Ah Huang is the most valuable......

In other words, if King Xiang ascends the throne and disposes of the two men, he will definitely be very generous to the remaining princesses - at least to save face. According to the practice of those in power to smear losers, I am afraid that Zhu'er's life experience will be turned out, and the queen will naturally be spurned by the world, and Yuanyuan will definitely be implicated. As for Diandian, how can it compare to Ah Huang's attention? King Xiang is only afraid that it is better for Ah Huang than for his own daughter, at least when the Queen Mother is alive, it will be like this.

As for the death of the Queen Mother, at that time, can the queen's promise still be counted? The immortal master sitting in front of him, wouldn't he have been cheated by her?

At the moment, the queen had no more bargaining chips, after all, there was a trace of panic in her eyes, and she hesitated for a moment, looked left and right, and finally sighed and slowly knelt down.

There are naturally many kinds of kneeling postures, half-kneeling, aggrieved and bent, and so on, the queen's kneeling method is very formal, she knelt on the ground, her head knocked on the brick, and in a very humble posture, she said softly, "Niangniang, the Sun family owed you a lot of disrespect in the past...... Today, I am here to make amends for your sins. ”

In terms of her current status, only the Queen Mother can afford this kneeling in the world. But the immortal master had no intention of dodging, she was high up, looking down at the queen's back, and finally a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

The former enemy will turn around and beg her now, and even take the concubine again...... Even if you are a person with a dead heart, you will inevitably be a little touched at this time.

But she still didn't put down the shelf, and continued to squeeze the queen, "It's too much courtesy, the poor can't stand it, the mother is the world, she is born with a phoenix, and she will be worshiped by you, and she will lose her life." ”

The queen's shoulders shook slightly, although no one could see her expression, but who couldn't feel her mood at this time? In the past, when she tried everything possible to sit in the back seat, how could what she wanted to get be today's humiliation? People like her are afraid that they would rather die with honor than live because of humiliation.

However, despite her slow pace, she straightened up, slowly raised her hand, and slapped herself.

"In the past, it was my humble character." The queen's eyes were a little straight, and she said almost indifferently, "I dealt with the mother with conspiracy." Today, if Niangniang can help Bolt Er ascend to the throne, I would like to be in Niangniang, and make cattle and horses for Niangniang for the rest of my life......"

She slapped herself again, the immortal master's expression moved, and her eyes showed a deep look of satisfaction, and she didn't speak, just watched.

Xu Xun watched coldly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Although today, it may be the happiest day for the immortal master in many years, but she watched from the sidelines, and she still didn't feel happy in her heart, only unspeakable sadness.

"Alright." I don't know how long it took, the queen's cheeks were already swollen high, and the immortal master seemed to be satisfied, she snorted softly, and slowly stood up.

The queen was still kneeling on the ground, she raised her head and looked at the immortal master expectantly, the immortal master pondered for a long time, and then said slowly, "The so-called return to the middle palace is pure nonsense, you don't have to say more." I only ask you, will you be rewarded for your suffering today? ”

The situation has finally ushered in a turnaround, how can the queen not know what to do? She looked solemn, "My granddaughter swears with her round life, tonight's incident is my willingness, and I will never disobey it." In the future, I will also respect the immortal master as the master, filial piety, if there is a violation, so that my children will die early, desolate and desolate and no one to support them, so that my Sun family will be cut off from children and grandchildren, and I will be in hell, and I will never be born! ”

This poisonous oath finally satisfied the immortal master, and she said lightly, "Then tell me, what do you want me to do - I have just told the imperial concubine that the old lady's move is not because of hatred for you, even if you kill yourself in front of her, I am afraid that it will be difficult to affect her decision, if it is not because of love, how can you be shaken by love?" Even if I can enter the palace and say a few words, I'm afraid it won't be of much effect. Are there still fewer people who persuade her? ”

"I'm going to have to give it a try." The queen still said the same thing to Xu Xun, she paused, and said, "However, if persuasion fails, please ask Niangniang to bring me the bolt!" ”

Immortal Master Huo Ran was shocked, she glared at the queen, and said for a while, "You want me to turn my face with the old lady......"

The queen didn't answer, but just smiled bitterly, and Xu Xun suddenly realized in her heart: if it was just for a few words of persuasion, why did she have to pay such a big price? I'm afraid that I have already made up my mind, and I didn't disclose it to her before, but because I was worried that this request was too fantastical, and I was afraid that I would not agree, the queen would not even be able to step into the gate of Chang'an Palace.

The kowtow was also suffered, the slap was also seen, and the oath was also heard, if the immortal master wanted to talk back at this time, he was afraid that he would lose face, and in the future in front of the queen, he would not be able to raise his head again - this is different from the scene when the two of them met after she was abolished in the past. Although the difference is subtle, but the people in the bureau themselves know it, the immortal master pondered for a moment, and sighed, "That's it, don't get too hopeful." ”

As he spoke, he actually ordered left and right, "Prepare a sedan chair, and we will go to Qingning Palace now." ”

At this time, I'm afraid that it's almost the second watch, and the gates of the palaces have been closed, Xu Xun's expression moved slightly, "At this time, will the old lady excuse herself to rest and avoid it?" ”

"She won't see her during the day, and if she doesn't see outsiders these days, she is under the banner of reciting scriptures for Emperor Daxing." The immortal master picked up his hair and said, "This scripture is much more elaborate when you read it......

Needless to say, it is necessary to say how to pay attention to it, in short, it is right to block the passage for the foreign minister to meet. Xu Xun glanced at the queen, and when he saw that she nodded slightly, he didn't say anything anymore, but turned sideways and sent the immortal master out of the house.

The room fell silent suddenly, and a little Daogu timidly served tea, Xu Xun stopped her and said, "You find a handkerchief and wrap some fresh snow to come in and give it to me." ”

There was a lot of snow outside, and it had accumulated in a few hours. Xiao Daogu didn't ask why, and after a while, she gave Xu Xun two haode snow bags - but also smart. Xu Xun took it and handed it to the queen, "You are too hard-working." ”

The queen put her handkerchief over her face, shrunk in excitement, and said, "If she is not allowed to breathe, how can she be moved...... To tell you the truth, before I came in, I was only 50% sure. ”

"After all, I have also been married to my eldest brother." Xu Xun whispered, "I don't care anymore on my face, and I still have a little affection in my heart." Otherwise, can you impress her with just a few slaps? ”

The immortal master is a human being, the queen and Xu Xun are all well aware, and they are the most exquisite, how can they be swayed by their will? It's true that she wants to get rid of the evil spirit in her heart, but it's true that she just got off the donkey. The queen let out a long sigh, and she suddenly said, "I am also benevolent to my eldest brother. ”

I don't know why, Xu Xun is very ruthless to her, she sneered, "Don't say you're not for yourself." ”

"For my own sake, I may not be able to do this." The queen glanced at Xu Xun, "Believe it or not." ”

Because of this state of emergency, everyone seems to be much more honest than usual, Xu Xun stared at the desktop and smiled briefly, "I believe you, you have taken this road, and you will naturally go forward to the dark." ”

"Yes...... the queen's voice was a little more distant, "I have come to this point, I have already paid too much, how can I be willing to give up halfway?" ”

Both of them stopped talking, Xu Xun waited for a while, but she was also anxious, she walked back and forth in the house for a few steps, and suddenly said, "Zhuang'er...... I don't need to say more, if I don't get throughβ€”"

"I'll take care of it for you." The queen didn't hesitate, and she smiled self-deprecatingly, "If I still have the strength to do so." ”

Xu Xun was slightly relieved in his heart: The Queen Mother has always been quite affectionate to Diandian, and the immortal master doesn't need to say much, with the queen's words, no matter how the situation develops in the future, Diandian will not be treated too badly.

Waiting is always a bit difficult, and after this matter is over, no one is interested in saying anything more, they just continue to wait anxiously. In a suffocating atmosphere, I don't know how long it took, the immortal master finally returned to the courtyard.

Both of them ran to the outhouse to greet her, but as soon as the immortal master entered the door, seeing the look on her face, Xu Xun's heart sank.

"The old lady has gradually leaned towards King Xiang's side." The immortal master was also straight to the point, she shook her head, "As for Zhu'er, I slept in the same bed with her, and I entered the inner room alone, under her nose, there was really no way." ”

The queen's body shook for a while, almost unable to stand, she nodded at the immortal master carelessly, lifted the curtain and rushed out of the room. Xu Xun didn't care about saying anything more to the immortal master, so he only hurriedly said, "If there is another day, I will definitely come back and talk to my sister again." ”

She was busy and ran out, but the queen was gone, a new footprint on the snow, and she went to the backyard in a hurry.

Although Chang'an Palace is said to be the residence of the immortal master, it is also carved beams and paintings, golden and brilliant, it naturally has a back garden, Xu Xun staggered to the backyard with a black stagger, only a little starlight to guide the way, not able to see the surroundings at all, looking left and right, I saw a vague figure parked somewhere, as if it was about to jump down, she was shocked, and hurriedly shouted, "Don't!" Other! ”

As he spoke, he rushed over, and sure enough, he saw the queen holding on to the edge of a well-all palaces, and the location of the wellhead was similar, although it was in the dark, but she was actually found by her.

"Don't you hate me?" The queen's tone was a little sarcastic, "After today, you have to make a wish." ”

She suddenly threw her head up to the sky and shouted, "You have to be satisfied!" I'm convinced! I'm convinced! This is my life, I admit it! God, I admit it! ”

With her life experience, it is indeed called ups and downs, creation and making people, and she doesn't need to say anything in the first half of her life, but she used all her strength, and even gave up the emperor's affection for her, in exchange for the prince and the queen, and went to Zuihou, she was so desperate and miserable, and the queen also maintained her fighting spirit to Zuihou moment, she even gave up her dignity, but unfortunately, the answer given to her by fate will not be a little softer because of this. The immortal master's words have already destroyed her hope of zuihou, with her temperament, she would rather die, than be afraid of living to endure the humiliation that will come one after another, and live at the feet of the queen mother in a reluctant.

Xu Xun's heart was bright: even this so-called winner finally ushered in her end.

The author has something to say: this chapter is really stuck on me, stuck for a day.

Now I've finally straightened out my thinking, I've been waiting for a long time, so I'll buy it for about 1K words first

The so-called scenery should be long-term, Xiaosun's life, it can be regarded as ups and downs, when I am proud, I am afraid that I can't think of the later frustration, and when I am frustrated, I can't think that Zuihou can be proud again, but after Zuihou is proud, who knows that it will usher in such a blow...... It's |||||||||| miserable
