11. Don't leave me behind
Su Qingkite's legs immediately froze.
She stood in place for a long time, and finally smiled and said, "No need, I plan to stay in the Chaoqian Hall tonight to guard the spirit." If the emperor doesn't feel troublesome, take Jun'er back for me to rest. ”
Lu Li narrowed his eyes and showed a meaningful smile: "The queen mother is here to keep watch, how can a son go back to rest?" Tonight, I also stayed in the palace of the court, and accompanied my father with my mother. ”
"No way!" Su Qingyuan shouted uncontrollably.
"Why not?" Lu Li's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he looked puzzled.
Su Qingyuan wrung her fingers tightly for a long time before she said in a trembling voice: "If you want to deal with state affairs and preside over the overall situation, you naturally have to take care of your body first...... It's good that the palace is guarded by me and a few concubines, and the emperor doesn't have to work too hard. ”
"It is the duty of a son to be filial to his father," Lu Li's tone was firm, "The queen mother doesn't need to persuade anymore." ”
Su Qingkite's eyes turned black for a while, and his feet were almost unstable.
Lu Li couldn't help but make a decision for her: "Xiao Luzi, you are good to send King Ding'an back to Fanghua Palace to rest." By the way, tell Danyue and Shuxing of Fanghua Palace: There is no need to guard outside the palace, it is important to go back to take care of King Ding'an. ”
Lu Junnuo raised his head and looked at Su Qingyuan with teary eyes: "Queen Mother, I'm afraid of ......"
Su Qingyuan clenched his little hand tightly and refused to let go.
Lu Li squatted down in front of Lu Junnuo and looked at him with a serious face: "The queen mother still has something to do, now is not the time for you to be coquettish, understand?" ”
Lu Junnuo didn't understand. But under Lu Li's deterrence, he didn't dare not nod.
So, Su Qingyuan could only watch as Xiao Luzi took Lu Junnuo out.
Powerless.
Lu Li stood up and blocked Su Qingyu's sight: "It's still early, the queen mother should go back to the palace to rest first." ”
Su Qingkite's legs seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and he couldn't move; It was more like an ice lump in her chest, and the chill to her bones made her involuntarily stiffen and her teeth chatter.
The little eunuchs were already urging on the side, and the surrounding courtiers and concubines were also watching. No matter how reluctant Su Qingyuan was, he didn't dare to show it in front of outsiders.
She really couldn't help but be scared - obviously, Lu Li still didn't plan to let her go tonight!
Since he had such a mind, she was destined to not be able to escape. Whether it is to return to Fanghua Palace or stay in the Chaoqian Palace, the result is the same.
Despite this, Su Qingyuan still had to struggle to the death.
So after returning to the temple, she found a conversation, found a concubine who also planned to stay to guard the spirit, and began to talk.
If you want to say that this concubine, in fact, she also knew each other in the past - it is the sister of Dingguo Gong, that is, Cheng Yu's aunt, Cheng Shushen.
At this moment, recounting the past in front of the spirit, Concubine Cheng was full of emotion: "I can also watch you grow up." You and Yu'er can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, I always hope that you can be the princess of our Guogong Mansion in my heart, who knows......"
"It's me who is not blessed, and there is no need to mention it." Su Qingyuan was in a trance, and astringently picked up this sentence.
Concubine Cheng sighed silently: "Life and death, blessings and misfortunes, no one can predict it." It's okay for us old people, pity you for your young age, this is the situation as soon as you enter the palace, how can it be good in the future! ”
Out of the corner of her eye, Su Qingyuan caught a glimpse of Lu Li entering the inner hall, and her tense heartstrings loosened, and she couldn't hold it under her feet immediately.
Concubine Cheng hurriedly came over to support her: "Tired, right?" I've been watching you feel bad this morning...... Why do you have to suffer this sin? You are the Queen Mother, no one can say anything about you. ”
Su Qingyuan shook her head slowly, and said with a wry smile: "I just don't want to go back to the palace." ”
Concubine Cheng couldn't help but wet her eyes when she heard this: "It's really difficult for you - a little girl's family, just after leaving her mother's door, she encountered such a thing!" ”
Su Qingyuan's face was hot, her heart was empty, and she couldn't say anything.
Concubine Cheng hugged her shoulders and sighed, "It's still early at this time, and no one else has come over yet." You squint for a while, I'll call you if there's something. ”
"Don't leave me, I'm afraid ......" Su Qingyuan said so many words in front of her, in fact, it was just a foreshadowing.
Concubine Cheng patted her back and said softly, "I'll guard you, sleep." ”
The hall was filled with the smell of wax oil and burning sandalwood. Su Qingyuan didn't feel sleepy, so she had to silently count the hours in her heart, hoping that the night would pass soon.
