Chapter 56: Enter Cining Palace
"Well, yes, let's disperse, do whatever you want." Wang Rong nodded with satisfaction and continued.
"Yes."
As soon as Wang Rong left with his front foot, everyone on his back foot also left with three or three steps.
Shangguan Candle slowly paced to Cining Palace, and a little eunuch quickly passed by him and stuffed a small note into his hand very quickly.
Waiting for the people to leave, Shangguan Candle opened the note in the palm of his hand expressionlessly, glanced at it quickly, and then closed the palm, and soon, the note turned into powder in his palm, he pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, opened his palm and let the powder be blown away by the wind.
After Xingyun Liushui did all this, he suppressed the coldness at the corner of his mouth, recovered his previous expressionless face, and walked slowly towards the queen mother's bedroom.
When he came to the door of the hall, there were a circle of eunuchs and palace maids kneeling outside the door, and a few of them saw the figure of Shangguan Candle, and quickly raised their heads to show him a look.
In this regard, Shangguan Candle raised his eyebrows, but did not pay attention to the eye gestures of those eunuchs and palace maids, but pouted at the angry reprimand coming from the hall.
"Waste, a bunch of waste, Your Majesty has happened to such a big thing, and the mourning family only knows now, what about Shangguan Candle? Where are the others? How did he take care of His Majesty? ”
The eunuch kneeling at the innermost part of the temple gate saw that Shangguan Candle had no intention of leaving, so he quickly got up and greeted him, and whispered.
"Father-in-law Candle, the Queen Mother has woken up, but because of Your Majesty's business, she is losing her temper in the palace at this time, judging by the slave, why don't you leave first, and when the Queen Mother's anger is gone, are you coming?"
Shangguan Candle raised his hand: "No." ”
The eunuch who came forward to remind Shangguan Candle saw that his face was calm, and there was no other look of anxiety and worry, and his tense heart calmed down.
"Yes." After saying that, he returned to his place.
At this time, a eunuch walked out of the hall with his head covered with his hands, and when he saw the Shangguan candle at the door, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he shouted at the queen mother who was still chattering in the hall.
"The Queen Mother, Father-in-law Candle...... Grandpa Candle is outside the door. ”
Suddenly, the angry voices in the house suddenly stopped, and after a while, a shrill shout came from inside the house: "Let him get in." ”
Shangguan Candle's eyes sank and darkened, although his expression did not change at all, his eyes were so cold that he was shivering, and the eunuch who covered his head trembled under his frozen eyes.
"Candle ...... Father-in-law Candle, the Queen Mother is invited. ”
Shangguan Candle raised his eyes and glanced at him, nodded, and walked towards the hall with raised his steps.
"How is Your Majesty?"
The Queen Mother, dressed in plain clothes and with loose hair, was sitting on the main seat and letting a palace maid knead her temples, and when she saw Shangguan Candle walking in, a trace of ruthlessness quickly flashed in her eyes, and she asked Shangguan Candle in a salty tone.
Shangguan Candle took two steps forward, stepped into the center of the hall, bowed his hand to the Queen Mother, and said lightly.
"Back to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty's condition has been temporarily alleviated under Zhang Yuanzheng's treatment."
"Your Majesty stays in the palace well, how can you be infected with the plague? How do you take care of Your Majesty? ”
Empress Dowager Li stood up from her chair abruptly and pointed angrily at Shangguan Candle and asked.
Shangguan Candle can also understand the queen mother's current mood, it doesn't take much effort to let His Majesty get an incurable disease, this plague is only infected by the poor who can't eat, Your Majesty stays in the palace all day, how did he get infected with this plague?
Empress Dowager Li seized this point to attack him, so that not only did she not have to solve Your Majesty by herself, but she could also get rid of himself with one stone, how could Empress Dowager Li not do such a cost-effective business.
"Returning to the Queen Mother, it is indeed the fault of the slaves, it is the slaves who did not take care of Your Majesty, and the reason why Your Majesty was infected with the plague is because of the fact that a few days ago, it was related to Your Majesty sneaking out of the palace."
"What? Your Majesty still sneaked out of the palace? Grasping the point of Shangguan Candle's words, Empress Dowager Li continued to ask sharply.
Shangguan Candle lowered his eyes, hid the endless dark color in his eyes, and continued to speak calmly.
"Yes, Your Majesty sneaked out of the palace a few days ago, it should have been infected at that time, maybe Your Majesty has not been in contact for a long time, so it has not had an attack until now."
Is that what the mourners are asking? The mourning family asked, why did His Majesty leave the palace? Your Majesty is out of the palace, why don't you minions stop you? Why don't you come to the mourning family? ”
Grabbing another handle, Empress Dowager Li looked extremely excited, the anger on her face could no longer hide the excitement in her eyes, only her heart was full of ecstasy, and the fingers that pointed angrily at Shangguan Candle were even more vigorous.
This time, she could uproot the emperor and the emperor's biggest backer, Shangguan Candle, together, and then get rid of them quickly, just thinking of the possibility of them turning over without reverse, Empress Dowager Li's heart couldn't help beating violently.
Shangguan Candle always looked cold, as if the person who was emitting monstrous anger in front of him at the moment was not the Queen Mother, but an ordinary person.
"Queen Mother, it's not that the minions don't know about it, it's just that all of this is what Your Majesty wants...... It was His Majesty who said that she didn't want you to be disappointed, she had grown up, and she didn't want the Queen Mother to work so hard, he wanted to share some of it for you, and wanted to make it easier for you. ”
"It's nonsense, what does Your Majesty have to do with sneaking out of the palace and not wanting to be disappointed? He wants to make the mourning family easier, is this what he did to make the mourning family easier? ”
Empress Dowager Li's eyes widened angrily, although she looked angry, but her eyes faintly revealed a look of incomprehension.
And Shangguan Candle, who is in stark contrast to the Queen Mother, has remained calm from beginning to end, without the slightest emotional fluctuations.
"Your Majesty said, although you didn't say anything, but in your heart you have long been very disappointed in her, in order to make some achievements for the benefit of the people, so that you can be impressed by her, then sneaked out of the palace, in order to sympathize with the people's feelings, to find out the people's will, after Your Majesty left the palace, he threw himself on the people, so he was accidentally infected with the plague."
As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and after reacting for a while, she instantly became angry.
She raised her eyebrows and pointed at her angrily, and rebuked in a voice that was even sharper than just now: "Then you mean to say that the reason why Your Majesty was infected with the plague is the fault of the mourning family?" ”
Shangguan Candle lowered his head: "The slave didn't dare, but Your Majesty did leave the palace because of the Queen Mother, and you expressed your dissatisfaction with Your Majesty several times before, which caused Your Majesty's young heart to suffer a serious blow, so Your Majesty is so anxious to prove yourself, and has been recognized and encouraged by you." ”
