The Queen Mother was silent for a long time before she called the palace people: "Go and pass on the Shi family." ”

Wu Rong was crying sadly, and when she heard this, she raised her tear-stained face, with a hint of dissatisfaction in surprise, "What is the Queen Mother looking for her?" ”

The Empress Dowager sighed and stroked Wu Rong's moist cheeks with pity, "The mourning family knows that you don't like the Shi family, but I believe in the mourning family, at this time, only she can save you." ”

Wu Rong was skeptical of the Queen Mother's words, and then said with some uneasiness: "Will she be willing?" ”

The Queen Mother knew that she was worried about the previous festival, and comforted: "Shi is a reasonable person, and he doesn't care about these things. ”

"But ......" Wu Rong still wanted to speak, but the Queen Mother had already seen through her thoughts, "The mourning family knows that you don't want to accept the favor of the Shi family, but there are priorities, do you want to marry Bo Yao?" ”

Wu Rong hurriedly shook her head, "Rong'er would rather die than marry that treacherous villain." ”

"That's it, listen to the mourners." With that, the Queen Mother closed her eyes tiredly, she hadn't said so many words in one breath for a long time.

Wu Rong also knew that now was not the time to be willful, so he knelt there nervously, and the water in the copper leak slowly dripped down, drop by drop, drop after drop......

I don't know how long later, the door of the temple that seemed to never open was slowly pushed open, and a figure walked in in the dazzling light and shadow.

Yiguang walked to the center of the hall, bowed down on his knees, and his voice was as crisp as a silver bell, "Yiguang has seen the Queen Mother, I wish the Queen Mother a phoenix and a healthy body, and a thousand years old without worry." “

The Queen Mother opened her somewhat cloudy eyes and beckoned, "Come to the mourning family." ”

"Yes." Yiguang answered, came to the side of the bed and said respectfully: "What does the Queen Mother command?" ”

The Queen Mother looked at her for a moment and said, "The mourning family has something to ask for." ”

Yiguang hurriedly whispered: "The Queen Mother is serious, but whatever Yiguang can do, he will do his best." ”

"Okay." The prince held Wu Rong's cold and damp hands, and said slowly: "The king decreed not long ago that Rong'er would be married to Bo Yao and be his wife; Rong'er is in her youth, but this Bo Yao is over half a hundred years old, and the old husband and young wife are really wronged by Rong'er. ”

Yiguang listened quietly, and after the Queen Mother finished speaking, she glanced at Wu Rong, who looked nervous next to her, and said, "The Queen Mother wants Yiguang to persuade the King to take back his life?" ”

The Queen Mother bowed her head, "Yes, would you like to?" ”

Yiguang raised his head, his eyes were as clear as the water of Taihu Lake, "What the Queen Mother commanded, how could Yiguang dare to shirk, as Yiguang Shicai said, he must do his best." ”

Wu Rong was surprised by such a refreshing feeling, she thought that even if Yiguang reluctantly agreed in the face of the Queen Mother, she would at least make it difficult for her, after all, she had targeted her everywhere before, and she had never given half a good face.

The Queen Mother seemed to have expected this answer, and she didn't even raise her eyelids, but said: "Very good, then this matter, the mourning family will entrust it to you." Before she could finish speaking, she covered her mouth violently and coughed, her sallow face stained with an abnormal red color because of the cough.

"The Queen Mother!" Wu Rong hurriedly got up to stroke his back, but to no avail, one after another, as if he was about to cough out his lungs.

Yiguang pressed on the acupoint of the Queen Mother with a special technique, and the main lung meridian of this acupoint used to be slightly pressed to relieve coughing, but this time, it took a long time to take effect, and this change made Yiguang feel heavy.

The Queen Mother slowly let go of the hand covering her mouth, and her palm was red.

Wu Rong was so frightened that he screamed at the palace people: "Imperial Doctor, go and pass on the Imperial Doctor!" ”

"What a silly girl." The Queen Mother smiled faintly, "Isn't the best imperial doctor here?" As she spoke, she looked at Yiguang, who was taking her pulse, and said, "How much can the mourning family live?" ”

Yiguang withdrew his hand and said with a forced smile: "The Queen Mother has profound blessings, and she can live a long life." ”

"Why, even you don't want to tell the truth to the mourning family?" The Queen Mother's words silenced Yiguang, "Say it, the mourning family can afford it." ”

Yiguang curled his hands slightly, and said astringently: "More than half a month, less than ten days." ”

Before the Queen Mother could speak, Wu Rong had already said sharply: "Impossible, I have asked the goddess to divide for the Queen Mother, there are at least ten years of life, how can there be only half a month of life left, you are talking nonsense!" ”

"Rong'er!" The Queen Mother frowned slightly, "Don't talk like this." ”

"But ......"

The Queen Mother stared at him and said, "Do you really believe the words of the goddess?" ”

This sentence was like a needle, which suddenly deflated Wu Rong, and the next moment, tears poured out like a flood, and she fell on the Queen Mother and cried loudly, even more sad than before.

"Idiot." The Queen Mother stroked Wu Rong's thick black hair with pity, "The goddess wants to make your money, so naturally follow your wishes, ten years ......" She said bitterly: "If it weren't for Yiguang trying his best to renew his life for the mourning family, he wouldn't have survived today, and the mourning family would be content." ”

Wu Rong didn't speak, only a cry mixed with mourning, sadness, reluctance, and weakness resounded in the summer afternoon......

After a long time, Wu Rong was finally tired of crying, lying on the side of the bed with a pair of swollen eyes like peach pits, the Queen Mother patted her shoulder one by one, but her eyes kept falling on Yiguang's face, "You are very beautiful, the mourning family has gone through four dynasties, and I have never seen a woman as beautiful as you, the city and the country."

Yiguang didn't know what to say, so he could only listen quietly, only to hear the Queen Mother cough, and continued: "The mourning family has heard a lot of things that have misled the country because of indulging in beauty, so I have always disliked beautiful women, and I have always disliked you. ”

Yiguang knew that this was the Queen Mother's greatest recognition of her, and immediately bowed to the ground and thanked her, "Thank you Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You are almost the queen, is it time to change this title?" ”

Yiguang Bingxue is smart, how could he not know what the Queen Mother meant, and said movingly: "Thank you, grandmother." ”

"Good! Good! Good! The Queen Mother smiled heartily with relief, she hadn't laughed like this for a long time.

After a long time, the Queen Mother said earnestly: "The mourning family has handed over the errand to you, and I hope you can assist him to become a generation of Ming Jun and live for generations." ”

"Yiguang will definitely do his best to live up to my grandmother's expectations." Yiguang solemnly made her promise.

"Good." The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, "You go." ”

After Yiguang left, the Queen Mother lowered her eyes and looked at Wu Rong, who was still sobbing, "Do you understand why Cha'er likes her?" ”

"Understood, Rong'er is not as good as her." Wu Rong has always been arrogant, thinking that all women in the world are inferior to herself, and now she admits that she is not as good as Yiguang, and she is not good in her heart, but she still said it truthfully, but she is also frank.

"It's not inferior, it's just that you're not suitable." The old and loving voice of the Queen Mother slowly sounded in Wu Rong's ears, "After this incident, I will find an ordinary family to marry, but I am rich and noble, I just want to treat you wholeheartedly, so that the mourning family can also go at ease." ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother was approaching the deadline and still thinking about herself like this, Wu Rong almost cried again, but this time, she held back the whimper in her throat and nodded vigorously, "Rong'er knows, the Queen Mother can rest assured." ”

Besides, Yiguang, after returning to the small courtyard, thinking of the words of the Queen Mother, I couldn't help but feel a little sad, a tear slipped from my eyes, and fell in a slender hand, crystal fragile.

Yiguang looked at the hand in surprise, it turned out to be a husband, and he quickly wanted to get up, but the latter held his shoulder, "You don't have to do those false courtesies between you and me, just sit down." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The husband sat down beside her and said softly, "Tell this king, why are you crying?" ”

Yiguang's eyes were slightly red, and he said astringently: "I went to see the Queen Mother just now, she is in very poor health, I'm afraid she won't last long." ”

Hearing this, the husband's hands trembled violently, and the tears in his palms quickly slipped down and shattered into the dust.

"How much longer?" His voice trembled like a leaf that could be torn apart by the cold wind at any moment.

Yiguang knew that he was asking the Queen Mother's limit, and said softly: "Half a month at most." ”

The husband didn't speak, just buried his face in the trembling palm, and the transparent liquid loomed between his fingers.

Yiguang knew that any comfort at this moment was so pale for her husband, and the only thing she could do was to be quietly by his side and share it with him.

After a long time, the husband raised his head, and his eyes were full of red bloodshots, "Grandmother knows?" ”

Yiguang nodded, "Yes." ”

The husband had a sour nose and said in a dumb voice: "She...... What can you say? ”

"The Queen Mother has long looked down on life and death, and she is not too sad, but there is one thing that she can't let go of, which bothers her old man."

The husband wiped his face, "What's the matter?" ”

"Lord Pingyang." Hearing these four words, Fucha's face sank, "Wu Rong went to Baining Palace?" ”

Yiguang didn't answer, but said: "The county lord Fang Fang is still less than twenty, and it is really wronged to let her marry a half-hundred-year-old man; Besides, Dazai has always been at odds with Wu, so I'm afraid he won't treat the county lord well. ”

The husband said indifferently: "Although Bo Yao is older, he is in a high position and his family is wealthy, and Wu Rong is not wronged when he marries him; As for the grievances between the two families, it has already passed, Bo Yao personally said that he likes Wu Rong, begged this king to give him marriage, and also said that he would treat her well, you don't have to worry. ”

Hearing that Bo Yao took the initiative to ask for marriage, Yiguang was a little surprised, and after asking about the scene at the time, she shook her head and said: "Dazai doesn't say it sooner or later, but he chooses that time to say that he likes Wu Rong, do you believe it?" ”

The husband was stunned, "You mean, he is lying to the king?" Why? ”

Yiguang said in a loud voice: "He and Wu are officials in the same dynasty and as auxiliary ministers, but over the years, he has been pressed by Wu Xiang, swallowing his anger, suffering from white eyes, and the two have long accumulated deep grievances, so when he found out that Wu Xiang was collaborating with the enemy, he repeatedly made statements to the king, wanting to put Wu Xiang to death; But the king was merciful, and he was unwilling to kill them all, so he left Wu Xiang alive. He had nothing to do, so he targeted the county lord of Pingyang, wanting to use her to torture Wu Xiang. ”

Every time Yiguang said a word, Fucha's face was gloomy, and he was already as stiff as iron in the back, and there was a tendency for wind and rain to come.

At that time, Yiguang's words continued, "Maybe Yiguang spends his belly as a villain, but even if Dazai doesn't have that kind of mind, it is not appropriate for the two of them to get married, and the old man marries the bride, or the will of the great prince, how will the world think of it?" The king's reputation is not easy to come by, and it must not be ruined by this matter. Speaking of this, she bowed to her husband, and said earnestly: "Yiguang is bold, please take back the king's life." ”

The husband looked at her silently, and after a while, he suddenly said: "She treated you like that before, why do you still help her so much?" ”

Yiguang sighed: "The county lord is also a poor man. ”

"You pity her, but she may not pity you." The husband said indifferently: "This king dares to guarantee that if you are in a different place, she will never intercede for you; So...... She doesn't deserve your help. ”

Listening to his husband's words, Yiguang was slightly anxious, "I think it's worth it; Besides, the county lord is extremely resistant to this marriage, and if you force it like this, I am afraid that it will cause death. ”

"Are you afraid that she will seek death? Ha ha! As if he had heard something funny, the husband raised his head and laughed, and after a while he stopped laughing, and said sarcastically: "How can a person like her, who is greedy for life and afraid of death and greedy for vanity, willing to seek death; Yiguang, you really think too highly of her. ”

Yiguang never thought that her husband had such a deep prejudice against Wu Rong, and she didn't know what to say for a while, and after thinking for a while, she said: "The county lord and the king grew up together, childhood sweethearts, and they have been together for ten years, isn't there a trace of affection?" ”

This sentence touched the heartstrings of the husband and silenced him; He is not a hard-hearted person, as Yiguang said, although Wu Rong has all kinds of mistakes, he has been with him for ten years, and these ten years have not been without happy times. So yesterday, when Bo Yao asked for marriage, he also thought about Wu Rong, and thought that Bo Yao personally said that he liked it, and saw that he was sincere, so he was not suspicious and ordered the marriage of the two. I never expected that Bo Yao would harbor evil intentions and trap him in an unrighteous place, which is really annoying.

But annoyance, this will has already been made, if it is withdrawn at this moment, it will not seem that he will also rebel and spread it, and he will have to be laughed at by the world. Moreover, although Bo Yao harbors evil intentions, Wu Rong does not have it, the things she did to harm Yiguang at the beginning are still vivid, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no next time.

So...... Wu Rong must not stay!

Thinking of this, the husband had already made a decision in his heart, "This king will warn Bo Yao not to treat Wu Rong badly; In addition, the king gave her a rich dowry, so that she could marry beautifully. ”

Yiguang didn't expect that he had said a lot, but the husband still didn't plan to take back his fate, and said urgently: "King, this family affair really can't be settled!" ”

"Yiguang, you have no jokes." This time, there was a hint of warning in Fucha's tone.

"But ......" Before Yiguang could continue, Fucha interrupted: "Okay, this king still has something to do, and I will come to see you tomorrow." ”

Looking at the figure of the husband leaving, Yiguang was anxious, and seeing that he was about to step out of the courtyard, he blurted out: "Does the king even care about the queen mother?" ”
