Chapter 199
Isn't this reason, since you are dead to Miss Shuang, then you should ignore it, who would have thought that you would put it down in your mouth, but in your actions, you will do the opposite, otherwise how can there be a twist and turn in Qizhou?
After Xiao Luo listened, he stopped, glanced at Gonggong Li, and seemed to be smiling, "You mean I haven't let her go yet?" ”
Needless to say? The corners of Gonggong Li's eyes twitched slightly, and he didn't dare to answer.
However, it is more appropriate for the emperor to make his own judgment on this matter.
As soon as I entered the queen mother's bedroom, I saw Aunt Yu come out to greet her, and Aunt Yu said in a low voice after seeing the ceremony, "Because the queen mother is angry about Chu Xiruo's matter, I hope the emperor will persuade the queen mother more."
Xiao Luoyan couldn't hear the meaning of Aunt Yu's words, it was nothing more than hoping that the mother and son would not have a conflict because of Chu Xiruo.
Xiao Luo nodded, and after entering the dormitory, he saw that the Empress Dowager Ming was looking out the window thoughtfully.
The afternoon sun shines on the table of the warm pavilion through the carved long window, and the Nanmu Buddha beads in the hands of the Empress Dowager Ming emit a faint light.
Hearing the footsteps, Empress Dowager Ming turned her gaze back and said lightly, "Coming?" ”
Xiao Luo agreed, and sat down in front of the Empress Dowager Ming's couch. Aunt Yu hurriedly served tea, and then motioned for all the maids to retreat, at this time, it was better to let the queen mother and the emperor face the communication alone.
Empress Dowager Ming stared at her son's still unsmiling face, and the corners of her lips unconsciously contained a wry smile.
He is now more and more independent, and he doesn't discuss anything with himself, since he knew that Chu Xiruo was imprisoned by himself and went to see her many times, the number of times he came to himself was getting less and less.
Now that he hasn't seen him for some days, he looks indifferent, and he looks more and more alienated from himself.
Empress Dowager Ming simply went straight to the point, "You know everything about Chu Xiruo, right?" ”
What he knows, the emperor's son naturally has no reason not to know first.
"I don't know what the queen mother is talking about?" Xiao Luo slowly sipped the tea and asked.
“”
Empress Dowager Ming remembered that Xiao Luo went to see Chu Xiruo privately but never told herself, and she knew that the two of them could only be regarded as ignorant when they met, after all, Chu Xiruo's matter was a thorn between the mother and son, and if she was not careful, she would stab the mother and son to bleed.
You must know that the Empress Dowager Ming's thoughts about her son are very thorough - you secretly imprisoned her so that I can't find it, I can only be at your mercy; But now that I've found her, you're not going to stop you, are you?
So since her son has already met with Chu Xiruo and she will intervene again, then this sting will do no good except stabbing the mother and son, so the mother and son are just tacit.
But at this moment, her son's knowingly questioning made the Empress Dowager Ming stunned for a moment, and after a while, she had mixed feelings in her heart, she closed her eyes and slowly twisted the Buddha beads in her hand.
The atmosphere in the room was a little frozen for a while, this was the second time since Xiao Luo's wedding that the mother and son had officially talked about this woman. But I didn't expect it to be like this.
The daylight outside the window is short inch by inch, when the Empress Dowager Ming opened her eyes, Xiao Luo was quietly looking at the tea cup in front of her, against the light and shadow through the long window, Yingting's face was faint, and the dark eyes taught people to see the look inside, only a little coolness was faintly discerning.
A sourness slowly surged from the bottom of her heart, making the Empress Dowager Ming's hand holding the Buddha beads slightly tight.
Today, she must let her son make a decision.
Empress Dowager Ming's phoenix eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible fierceness, but her tone was gentle, "Chu Xiruo has a gentle and gentle temperament, I never expected that there would be such a ruthless time."
When she said this, she narrowed her eyes slightly, watching Xiao Luo's reaction.
That's right, I'm just going to see what you do between these two women?
His son's deep affection for Chu Xiruo is well known and undoubted, but his later attitude and behavior towards the reborn Meishuang have also undergone earth-shaking changes in the eyes of insiders, although such changes are incomprehensible.
Okay, I'll see if you're sincere to Frost, or as Frost said, she's far more valuable to him than he is to her.
To be honest, when she first heard what Mei Shuang said to the emperor of the Great Qin State in person, she was still shocked by Mei Shuang's boldness and sensitivity in her heart.
"Being used by the emperor" and something like that, I believe that there is no second woman in the Great Qin Kingdom who dares to say it except for her.
In fact, the Empress Dowager Ming had a plan in her heart, no matter what Xiao Luo's attitude was, Chu Xiruo and her mother Qingqin could not stay in the world, that Qingqin was a thorn in her heart, and it was a pain in her heart when she thought about it, hum, I didn't expect that after so many years, she almost forgot about this person's savings, but she didn't expect that she would have to fight back desperately after being dormant for so long.
She categorically won't tolerate it!
But to the disappointment of Empress Dowager Ming, although her words were short but full of weight, Xiao Luo only raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this, was silent for a moment, and said indifferently, "Isn't she okay?" ”
Empress Dowager Ming was stunned for a moment before she realized who Xiao Luo was referring to, and suddenly her heart felt like a thorn, and the Buddha beads in her hand couldn't help but clench.
What an old love is not over!
What a dismissive!
Empress Dowager Ming said lightly, "What do you mean, Shuang'er will only be punished if she encounters an accident?" ”
Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows, his eyes were clear, "She's not someone else, she's the daughter of the first emperor, isn't she?" ”
Empress Dowager Ming was almost choked by this sentence, she threw the Buddha beads in her hand on the table, and her phoenix eyes were full of gloom, "Ridiculous!" You are the king of a country, how can you trust others lightly? But based on the words of the woman in Qingqin, I decided that Chu Xi was my royal bloodline? It's ridiculous! ”
Xiao Luo kept his face silent.
Empress Dowager Ming also felt that her reaction was a little too much, so she softened her tone, "If it is said that Qingqin and Chu Xi of Cheng'en Temple are mother and daughter mourning the family, I think it is possible." Now that I think about it, there are indeed some traces of similarity between their eyebrows, but if it is said to be royal blood, the mourning family thinks that this statement is never credible! ”
Silent.
Xiao Luo raised his eyes and said lightly, "If Chu Xi is not the blood of the royal family, I am afraid that it will only be clear if he thoroughly investigates the events of the year." Didn't the queen mother want the children to investigate thoroughly and then cure them for their mother-daughter crimes? ”
"Investigate this matter thoroughly?" Empress Dowager Ming's pupils shrank, and she was in a trance in front of her eyes, and those things that seemed to be a long time ago seemed to be in front of her again.
In the old days, who would have thought that the first emperor, who loved and pampered him, would be fascinated by a singer, and he had the potential to let him enter the harem.
And that kind of grace in the eyes of the first emperor seemed to her to be just a kind of pretentious gesture of charm, what she could do was to use the power in her hands to prevent future threats and keep her glory and position.
The name "Qingqin" is given by herself, and it is also her proud work
Of course, the Empress Dowager Ming knew that if she wanted to find out Chu Xiruo's life experience, she would have to start from that year, and she didn't want to mention it again.
Empress Dowager Ming's tone was imperceptibly stiff, "The first emperor has already returned, even if you ask the first emperor." But there is no way to verify it in the world, you can drop blood with her to test your relatives, the blood is fused, and if you don't melt, it is a big crime to bully the king. However, the important thing now is not this, but that she has already killed Shuang'er, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a second time, if she makes waves again in the coming day, then Shuang'er is not dangerous? ”
After a pause, she "snorted", "Mother and daughter have both cultivated in front of the Buddha, so it can be seen that the work has been in vain."
"Didn't they kill themselves?" Xiao Luo asked, holding the bowl in his hand.
"Suicide?" Empress Dowager Ming shook her head, "Twenty years ago, the mourning family knew from the first time she met her that this woman was extraordinary, she was soft on her face, quite high-minded, and able to bend and stretch, if she wanted to commit suicide, she should have broken off twenty years ago." Therefore, she categorically will not kill herself."
"Why did the queen mother treat her like this back then?"
Of course, the Empress Dowager Ming knew what Xiao Luo was referring to, how cruel it should be to let a woman in her prime stay with the ancient Buddha of the green lantern in a nunnery, and let the years slowly wear away her youth.
"Are you blaming the queen mother for being so ruthless?" The Empress Dowager Ming got up from the couch, changed her posture, narrowed her phoenix eyes, seemed to be recalling the past, and said lightly for a while, "The queen mother is not the kind of person who is not close to people, if Qingqin has no ambition, the mourning family will definitely let her enter the palace, after all, she is the woman your father and emperor liked, and the mourning family is too ruthless to her." It's just that there are not a few women by your father's side, Qingqin knows that this harem mother is expensive by her son, and she covets the position of the mourning family, she must first conceive your father's child, and then get rid of you - then you will be the only prince, and the mourning family will remember that you are already so tall. ”
Saying that, the Empress Dowager Ming stretched out her hand and gestured, "At the banquet in the palace, the prince and several ministers gathered together, and the Qingqin dance amazed the four, since then, she has been approaching the mourning family from time to time, and the mourning family will only think that she is to please the mourning family, but they don't know that she is drunk in you." That day, Meishuang's adoptive mother entered the palace and drank your bowl of soup for you, presumably our mother-son fate ended on that day."
Seeing Xiao Luo's eyes gradually deepen, the corners of Empress Dowager Ming's lips condensed into a wry smile, "Everyone knows that Meishuang's mother died of a violent illness, but they don't know the twists and turns and mysteries in this. If you hadn't asked today, the mourners wouldn't want to say this, I'm afraid these dirty things have polluted their ears; And every time I mention the mourning family, I will not sleep well, everyone is too ruthless to Qingqin, but I don't know that the mourning family has not been wiped out, otherwise how can she be today? ”
After finishing speaking, the Empress Dowager Ming's face was a little pale, "It's strange that the mourning family was soft-hearted for a while, but she let her come to harm Shuang'er today"
Xiao Luo put down the teacup in his hand and said softly, "The child will find out, and there will be a fairness, if there is nothing to do, the child still has a fold to criticize, go first."
The Empress Dowager Ming looked at the bright yellow figure and walked out, closed her eyes and gently twisted the Buddha beads
