Chapter VI

Fortunately, the people who read the letter at that time had been immediately killed, and this shocking scandal was temporarily hidden, but who can guarantee that there is no breathable wall in this world?

Empress Dowager Ming sighed deeply.

Aunt Yu quickly came over with a steaming gilded jade bowl, and when she heard the Queen Mother's sigh, she handed the jade bowl to the Queen Mother and said softly, "Sure enough, as the Queen Mother expected, the emperor did not give the death frost girl, but only abolished the queen's name and entered the cold palace."

Well, after waiting for news all night, my heart is finally more steady.

Empress Dowager Ming's eyes softened slightly, in the end, it was the mother and son who were connected, and her son also saved her some face.

Although he said "let the emperor watch it", in his heart, he has been watching his son's movements, so this result is undoubtedly the most compromise at present, which can balance the mood and strength of many parties.

In fact, everyone else is easy to say, mainly as soon as she thinks of the name of the letter exchanged, she wants to vomit blood for a while.

If it's someone else, why is it this bastard?!

She was holding a bowl and stirring the red date soup made of honey inside, and suddenly remembered something, and her expression was faint, "What about the wine?" Did the emperor drink it? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor and the queen mother came out of the prison, and they have not yet arrived at Weiyang Palace," Aunt Yu said.

"Well, her sister, it's right to go and see, and for herself, it's also a kind of admonition."

Speaking of this, her eyes suddenly turned cold, and even her tone became stiff.

Aunt Yu naturally understood why the Queen Mother was suddenly angry.

The two daughters of Meifu were born in the same year, month, and day, and their beauty is not up or down, and they have their own talents. But I don't know why, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, she has always loved Mei Xiang's concubine Mei Shuang, and thinks that only she is worthy of being the queen of the Great Qin Kingdom. In fact, in Aunt Yu's ears, there are many things about Meishuang, such as her gentle appearance, she is actually jealous and has a lot of thoughts

But every time the Queen Mother heard it, she just smiled. The reason for this, except that the Queen Mother can explain it clearly, in the eyes of outsiders, it is the creation of the individual, there is no way, this eye is more important than anything else

Now, by mistake, it turned out to be the concubine Mei Ru who entered the palace to be the queen of the main palace for her sister, and the queen mother was naturally dissatisfied.

Of course, Aunt Yu only dared to say this in her heart.

As soon as she thought that she should be bowed by the new queen of the main palace Mei Ru tomorrow, the Empress Dowager Ming felt uncomfortable, so she handed the bowl to Aunt Yu and said coldly, "The mourning family is lacking today, and Ming'er will sleep more."

This is tantamount to saying that the new queen will not be seen early tomorrow morning.

Aunt Yu took the bowl and couldn't laugh or cry.

Empress Dowager Ming was about to lie down, when she suddenly saw Aunt Yu's eyebrows a little hesitant and a little displeased, "What's wrong?" ”

Aunt Yu pondered the words for a moment and said softly, "Queen Mother, just now the Imperial Doctor Xu came to report that the girl had attempted suicide in the prison, but fortunately, she was found early, and he was no longer in serious trouble after diagnosis and treatment. ”

β€œβ€

Empress Dowager Ming was immediately shocked, "Suicide attempt? ”

Her eyes changed instantly, she raised her hand and slapped it on the bed, and said angrily, "The mourning family looked at her in the past and tried her best to keep her from dying!" And so she did! It's really a disappointment for the mourners! If I knew this, I should have let the emperor execute her directly! ”

When Aunt Yu saw that the Queen Mother was angry, she immediately panicked.

Hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand while stroking his chest, comforting her and letting her dissipate, while being shocked, how could the queen mother value this daughter of the Mei Mansion so much?

Suddenly, I heard the voice of the maid outside, "Queen Mother, the emperor has arrived!" ”

As soon as Xiao Luo, who was dressed in bright yellow, stepped into Cining Palace, he saw Aunt Yu and the maids waiting for him at the door.

Seeing that the emperor was uncertain, the group hurriedly took his mink fur after saluting, and then returned with hot tea.

Seeing that her son's always resolute face was frosty at the moment, and he was obviously a little tired between his eyebrows, without the slightest smugness of the new monarch's spring breeze, the Empress Dowager Ming was distressed: "It's so late, why don't you go back to rest?" If you have something to say tomorrow."

Xiao Luo went straight to his mother's couch and sat down, but he was silent.

The Empress Dowager Ming was very unhappy when she saw this.

In the silent atmosphere, only the cold wind outside can be heard, and occasionally the sound of candle fire "peeling" indoors. The cold wind blew the candle flame from a long window that was slightly opened to ventilate, and the light was uncertain, illuminating the unpredictable expression on Emperor Xiao Luo's face.

"The son-in-law is so disposed of, can the queen mother still be satisfied?" After a while, Xiao Luo spoke, his voice faint.

The Empress Dowager Ming was stunned, staring at her son, who was already twenty-seven but had always insisted on not marrying a wife, and a trace of bitterness bloomed at the corner of her lips.

She didn't know that this son had always resented her in his heart.

For several years, he has been stationed at the border as a prince, and he has made great achievements, but he rarely gets close to women, just for the people in his heart, which can be described as infatuation. Now, when he returned to the dynasty and wanted to live with the beauty in his heart, he went to the empty building, and the queen he arranged for him was so embarrassed, how could he not blame her for the queen mother?

The mother and son used to get together less and leave more, but now, although he is sitting in front of him, the feelings of alienation are beyond words. Thinking of her son's heroic and invincible on the battlefield, but suffering this shame and humiliation, the Empress Dowager Ming's heart turned a thousand times for a while, and her chest suddenly became sour, "Luo'er, are you still hating your mother?" ”

Xiao Luo lowered his eyes and looked at the tea cup in his hand, noncommittal.

Empress Dowager Ming couldn't hold back any longer, picked up a brocade handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, "Luo'er, the queen mother has worked hard this time, and one day you will understand." You only know that you lead troops to fight, and you have never liked to ask about political affairs, and now, now that you have ascended the throne, this court is complicated, you should also have heard of the daughter of Mei Xiang, you have to marry! If you can't have a concubine, then marry a concubine! ”

Between the candle flames, Xiao Luo's eyes were dark, obviously, this was not what he was going to listen to tonight.

Empress Dowager Ming softened her tone and sighed, "The mourning family looks at Shuang'er and is not like such an inappropriate person, but things are already like this, the mourning family can only say that they are blind, alas, or there is a hidden secret, or the mourning family does not necessarily know what you think in your heart, but the daughter of the general of Zhenguo has a low position, how can she be worthy of being the queen of my Great Qin Kingdom?" What's more, the General's Mansion has long been ruined, and you have just ascended the throneβ€”"

"Queen Mother," Xiao Luo's fingers pinched the teacup slightly, remembering that he had returned from the border pass, thinking that he could meet his sweetheart from now on, but he pounced on nothing, and had to marry a woman he didn't love at all, so he was angry and angry, "The queen mother knows that the sons have never been interested in the throne, and the royal brother died suddenly, and there were no children under his knees, so the sons agreed to return to the court, and it was only for pity." Erchen has long sworn that he will not marry in this life. Why did the queen mother break her promise, and now she is not even allowed to enter the palace gate? ”
