Chapter 17 The Fake Drama Is Really Done
The next day, Xue Ling and Zhao Rouyi entered the palace with generous gifts to meet Empress Zhao Yue.
Unfortunately, when the two arrived, the queen was taking a nap, and the little eunuch didn't dare to let him go, and Xue Ling didn't embarrass him.
Zhao Rouyi glanced left and right, and said with great interest: "The last time I entered the palace, I didn't know how many years ago, the layout of the Lu Leek Palace has changed so much. ”
Xue Ling nodded in agreement, "The queen mother has become more and more peaceful over the years, and the Luyun Palace is arranged like a Buddhist holy place according to her preferences. ”
The two of them waited outside the door for a long time, and finally, the little eunuch Yilianbu hurriedly came and said, "Queen Niang Niangxuan, please come with me." He hurried away again.
The two looked at each other, encouraged each other, and walked into the main hall one after the other.
On the couch, the queen was sitting precariously, squinting her eyes and letting the palace maids take care of her jet-black hair.
Zhao Yue is close to knowing what is wrong, and no matter how much she takes care of her face, she can't stand the speed at which a few wrinkles climb.
Since Zhao Rouyi came in, Zhao Rouyi's eyes have been locked on her, and she has never glanced at Xue Ling, as if she expected him to come to the door to "ask the teacher for guilt".
"Queen Mother, this king's trip is ......" Xue Ling saluted and couldn't wait to speak.
"Rouyi, come here." The queen interrupted, her tone languid.
Zhao Rouyi looked at Xue Ling worriedly, and walked forward obediently.
The two knew that the queen was angry, if it weren't for hearing that Zhao Rouyi was also among them, Zhao Yue wouldn't plan to see Xue Ling now.
"You all go down, comb for her, and let Rouyi comb it for me."
The men left their combs and walked away.
Zhao Rouyi gently combed the queen's hair, and Zhao Yue squinted her eyes and seemed to enjoy it very much.
"Why did Rouyi spontaneously come to the palace to see me today, but I can't invite you to come."
"Isn't it a long time since I saw you, and I miss my aunt?" Zhao Rouyi said thoughtful words, rare gentleness.
"Hmph, my mouth is sweet at this time, I'm afraid not."
"Auntie, Rouyi recently borrowed King Ling's mansion, King Ling said that there is something important to discuss today, just listen to him." Zhao Rouyi put down the comb, squatted down and leaned on Zhao Yue's thighs obediently, massaging her.
"You, you, you don't know how reserved you are when you're so old, and you stay in the man's house for so many days for no reason, and it sounds good to spread out?" Zhao Yue touched Zhao Rouyi's supple hair, and her tone was full of love.
"What do you care what others say? Who doesn't know Rouyi's mind. Zhao Rouyi pouted, very coquettish.
Xue Ling stood in front of the hall, with a gloomy face, and he didn't know where to interject.
Zhao Yue looked up at Xue Ling, her appearance was gentle, and her aura was a bit of a king, but it was far from enough.
She had no intention of intervening in the power struggle, but Xue Rui and her had already had a grudge against her for killing her mother and taking her daughter, and it was impossible for her to turn the conflict into a jade silk.
If he ascends the throne in the future, her Zhao family will definitely not look good, and she must stand in one camp. Anyone can be the prince, but Xue Rui cannot.
"What does King Ling need to ask about the palace?"
Xue Ling shook his sleeves and hands, got straight to the point, and said, "This king wants to ask the queen mother for a person's whereabouts." ”
"Looking for Hongu to find out whereabouts? Joke, who are you looking for? Zhao Yue sneered.
Xue Ling took out a fox head token from his sleeve pocket, the style was no different from what Lin Ju held, but the material was different.
Lin Ju's is bronze, and the piece in his hand is genuine gold.
"I hope the queen won't forget the covenant." He stretched out his hand to reveal the token.
"Ridiculous!" Zhao Yue was furious, slapped her seat on the couch, and Zhao Rouyi hurriedly comforted, "Aunt Gu is angry, Aunt Gu is angry." ”
"You dare to threaten Hongu! Just for a little guard? ”
Zhao Yue patted her chest, accusing while being angry.
"Ling'er didn't dare, but often took out the token to alert herself, and at this time she was in the same boat with the queen."
"It's hard to make a big deal!" Zhao Yue interrupted him.
In fact, Xue Ling is not her favorite alliance partner, he is too righteous and emotional.
It's just that the emperor's time is running out now, and there are not many heirs, and there are very few left, so he has to do it as a last resort.
Xue Ling ignored it, and continued, "Niangniang just talked about the little guard, and it seems that she recognized it." Then please return him to me in one piece, or it will be bad if the covenant between you and me is broken. ”
"You make a covenant with me? Xue Ling, who went against the plan first and almost broke the big thing? ”
Xue Lingwan'er, her chin bowed, "Ling'er doesn't know what the queen is talking about." ”
"The plan was originally designed to make Shen Xuan fall in love with you and take the troops from Shen Xuan's hands. This palace listens to you, sends two fools to increase credibility, and if it is done, it will be cut off to prevent future troubles, now what? But you let people fall into the hands of the prince! If you let him find out something, can you afford it? ”
Zhao Rouyi made a movement in her hand, but she didn't expect the queen mother to tell the truth directly in front of her.
For some reason, she felt a hint of joy in her heart when she heard this, saying this, Xue Ling didn't really like Shen Yu, just acting.
Xue Ling took care of the loss, and her momentum gradually weakened, "Niangniang, no matter how perfectly the plan is calculated, but the current events are infinitely changing......"
"Hugh wants to find some excuse to prevaricate the palace, you know the truth very well!"
“…… Did the lady expect that Shen Yu would run away from marriage? Expected that the killer sent out was so conscientious, chased all the way to Lingwangfu, and still killed people? If this king didn't follow that day, the crown princess would have been a dead body now, and when the time came, the killer would find out the head of the mother, would you be able to clear the matter? ”
"Nonsense! Have you ever thought that just because you rashly acted and went to the field to save Shen Yu, she herself may be suspicious of you...... And how did the good guard who took you to the poetry club get involved with Shen Yu later? It caused Xue Rui to strengthen his precautions in advance, and you want us to quibble? ”
Zhao Yue said it clearly, Xue Ling was dying and struggling, "This king is to make the fake show more real......"
"According to the palace, King Ling wants to fake it, if I don't get the guard back, the prince is afraid that he has already hugged the beauty at the moment."
The two blamed each other and kicked the ball, Zhao Rouyi was dizzy when she heard it, she couldn't figure it out, she only noticed the sentence "fake drama is really done", and the happiness of Fang Cai dissipated again.
"You just have to watch, don't interfere anymore!"
"Listening to what this means, what else does the mother do?"
"Since you asked. This palace will tell you clearly, what you and I didn't expect before was that Xue Rui would be so disgusted with Shen Yu, just let it be natural and let the prince cut off the connection with the General's Mansion by himself. ”
The queen mother said vaguely, but Xue Ling quickly understood, "Xue Rui won't be stupid enough to kill her, at least not now." ”
"You, you, it's still not enough, you don't need him to do it himself, we help him - do it himself."
"This King ......"
"Okay, this palace is tired today, I don't want to argue with you anymore, if you dare to act rashly and don't listen to the arrangement, this palace can help you, and it can also break you!" Zhao Yue began to drive people away, speaking mercilessly.
Xue Ling took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and after a long time, he turned around, intending to leave.
The villain in his heart went back and forth, but he still felt that he couldn't return empty-handed on this trip, so he asked again, "Where are the king's people?" ”
The queen waved her hand impatiently: "He has already thrown himself into the door of the palace, you don't have to stay here and talk to me, go to the palace to find him and ask him, the palace wants to talk to Rouyi alone for a while, you should retreat quietly." ”
Xue Ling clenched his fists, bowed and retreated.
Zhao Rouyi got up and sat on an equal footing with Zhao Yue, and the queen took her hand and patted it gently.
"Rouyi, who do you like is not good, why do you want to hang yourself on Xue Ling's tree."
In Zhao Yue's life, the first half of her life was evil, the second half was atoned for, and she experienced her own glory and pain, she just wanted to keep the Zhao family and spend her old age in peace. I don't want Zhao Rouyi, who has a straightforward temperament, to enter the palace again and follow in her footsteps.
"Mother, it's not a matter of a day or two that Rouyi likes the prince, how many years have you persuaded me."
Fortunately, Xue Ling has already gone away, if he is still outside the palace gate, he can hear this soft and glutinous "mother." ”
I don't know if I'll be surprised that the wind is messy.
"Rouyi, your brother Mao'er, and little sister Qing'er all died unexpectedly, although this palace knows who did it, but there is nowhere to redress the grievances. The sorrow of the harem has already been tasted, and the palace doesn't want you to have anything to do with the royal family. ”
Zhao Rouyi fell into deep thought and did not answer immediately.
She also had mixed feelings in her heart at the moment, and no matter how much her mother thought about her, it was because she knew that Xue Ling had already moved her sincerity towards Shen Yu, and it was impossible for her to be small with her temperament.
After a long time, Zhao Rouyi nodded slowly, "How dare Rouyi ignore my mother's kindness, and the prince has no intention of marrying me, if it is fate, how can I let Rouyi wait for so many years...... Rouyi's marriage is all up to her mother. ”
Zhao Rouyi called her mother affectionately and naturally, it turned out that the two had already made an agreement, and they were called mother and daughter in private.
Zhao Yue was very pleased, and said three good words in a row, "Okay, good." This palace looks at who is the eldest son of Mrs. He, who is still good, and it is compatible with you, and let the two of you meet each other on a certain day......" Zhao Yue was still holding her hand and chattering, Zhao Rouyi's mind had already flown out of the sky.
Zhao Rouyi was placed in the Cirrus Cloud Temple far away from the palace wall all the year round, practicing martial arts with the old old master, and Zhao Yue rarely came to see her.
It's not that she hasn't heard the other little monks talk about her, saying that she is from the master and her mother.
When Zhao Yue and the current emperor were at odds, he was sent to the Ciryun Temple to read the Buddha and chant for a year, during which he was diagnosed in the temple with a happy pulse, and after September, when he returned to the earth in spring, he gave birth to Zhao Rouyi, and when he was recalled, he did not take her away, but declared to the outside world that this daughter was the daughter of his brother, and he could only be called an aunt and nephew.
Zhao Rouyi still remembers the first time she entered the palace, the little Princess Qing showed off to her how gentle her mother was, she replied with indignation for a while, and almost revealed her identity, after which Zhao Yue tried not to let her contact with people and things in the palace. If it's bigger, she's not angry.
"In a few days, the palace will hold a banquet, invite everyone to the banquet, you compare and compare, this palace thinks who is the most good."
After walking through the memories and coming out again, Zhao Yue was still introducing who was the person to her, Zhao Rouyi listened with a smile, enjoying this long-lost maternal love.
"Okay, it's all up to my mother's arrangement."
"Mrs. He is no more than the teacher of the princes in the palace, there is no need to stand in line in the power struggle, if you marry in the past, not only can you avoid conflicts with other factions, but the two of us can see each other every day......"
This moment of warmth, so discordant, adds a bit of humanity to this empty deer leek palace.
At this time, Xue Ling was depressed and wandering aimlessly in the palace, when suddenly a pair of men and women came straight up.
The woman's expression was flying, her hands and feet were waving wildly, she seemed to be a little crazy, and the person standing beside her was not Lin Li, who was it!
