Chapter Seventy-Four: Persuading the Queen Mother

"This, this, maybe Si Mo knows that you are my confidant, and the relationship with me is extraordinary, so he thought that if he used you to coerce me at a critical moment, it might be very effective." After Li Fan finished speaking with a red face and bare hands, he coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.

Hum! Do you still have an extraordinary relationship with you? Think this king is so easy to deceive as a three-year-old child?

In fact, how could I not understand his mind? If I am really the so-called confidant in his mouth, if my relationship with him is really just that, how can Si Mo spare my life for this? I'm afraid I'll have become a dead dragon long ago.

For a thoughtful and vicious person like Si Mo, Li Fan's best friend will only be his worst enemy, and it will be too late to hate and resent, and he will leave his life on this person?

Jiangshan Sheji, the supremacy of imperial power, the mission of revenge, and so on, which one is Si Mo willing to give up? Of course, none of them is something he is willing to give up.

It is precisely because of this that he will be fully prepared at all costs, including being a low-spoken eunuch by Li Fan's side for thirteen years. In this case, he will definitely be thoughtful in all aspects, so my life is the most valuable for Si Mo.

Not for anything else, just because Li Fan didn't treat me as a confidant at all, he never died for me, he has always been lovesick and silently loved me, he desperately hid his feelings for me deeply, both to maintain his dignity as an emperor and to protect my personal safety.

It's just that love is a thing for me and Li Fan, after all, we still miss each other, because there is already a man who has walked into my heart before him, and will never go out again.

"Li Fan, I already know ......" Just as I was about to emphasize my feelings to him again, a figure running like the wind interrupted my non-love notice to Li Fan.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the slave dares to ask you to persuade the Queen Mother! She has not entered the water and rice for three days and three nights, if it goes on like this, she is afraid, ......she is only afraid, she is only afraid" This palace maid who fell at Li Fan's feet, crying hoarsely and begging like rain in tears was none other than Yufen, the eldest aunt in charge of Xuanyuan Jin's side.

It turned out that after Li Fan quickly quelled the rebellion, Si Mo committed suicide on the spot and Xuanyuan Fengyun was beheaded afterwards, but Xuanyuan Jin was not punished in the slightest for this incident and still sat firmly on the throne of the queen mother.

And the reason why Li Fan did not take any punishment against Xuanyuan Jin, and still let her live in Shoukang Palace to enjoy all the treatment of the Queen Mother, one is for the sake of Xuanyuan Fei's loyalty to him, and the other is that although Xuanyuan Jin's attitude towards Li Fan is cold, Li Fan has always cared about the death of his own mother, the first emperor ordered Xuanyuan Jin to personally raise Li Fan, and remembered that Xuanyuan Jin has the grace to raise himself, so he has been respecting this Queen Mother who is not enthusiastic about himself for more than ten years. And he loves his only brother Li Yun in everything.

But Xuanyuan Jin, an arrogant and stubborn woman, always thought that Li Fan was taking the opportunity to humiliate herself, laugh at herself, and then kill herself, all of which he deliberately did to outsiders.

Alas! I really don't understand Xuanyuan Jin, this woman, I don't know why she thinks of Li Fan like this, is this brain in the water? After thinking about it, she suddenly understood that she had a knot in her heart, and the reason why she thought like this was because the knot in her heart had not been opened.

Therefore, if you want her to accept Li Fan sincerely, and not have all kinds of misunderstandings about Li Fan, you can only help her open this knot and let her completely change her opinion of Li Fan.

Thinking of this, I looked at Li Fan, who shook his head and sighed with a sad face, stretched out my hand and patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Li Fan, if you trust me, you might as well let me go to Shoukang Palace to meet the Empress Dowager Wende, I am very happy to try to solve the misunderstanding between you." After speaking, I smiled and winked at Li Fan, who was standing in place stunned, and asked Yufen to take me to Shoukang Palace to meet Xuanyuan Jin.

"The Empress Dowager Qi, the palace maid Long Yuan asks to see the palace maid in the imperial garden." Yufen humbly walked into the main hall of Shoukang Palace, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and then cautiously reported to the noble lady who was leaning on the throne of the brocade peony flower with her eyes closed.

"Let her in!" Xuanyuan Jin said lightly, although the voice sounded a little weak, it revealed an innate nobility and arrogance. At this moment, I have been waiting outside the hall for almost half an hour, and under the guidance of the palace maid in the hall, I came to the soft couch throne of Xuanyuan Jin in the main hall.

Although today's Xuanyuan Jin failed in the struggle against Li Fan and went on a hunger strike for several days, her prestige as the Empress Dowager Wende has not diminished at all. She was wearing a fuchsia mopping palace dress, with auspicious clouds embroidered with gold thread on the neckline and sleeves, and her skin was still so tight and radiant, but there were some more vicissitudes of decadence. A pair of earlobes encrusted with rubies hang down gracefully, with a golden hairpin carved with peonies, and a tassel studded with sparkling rubies, like a proud red plum, just like her eternal pride.

"Long Yuan has seen the Queen Mother, and I wish the Queen Mother a long life and good health." I knelt on the ground without hesitation as I spoke, and saluted Xuanyuan Jin respectfully, since I wanted to persuade Xuanyuan Jin, I had to soften it in a timely manner, nothing!

"It's really strange that you're so polite and polite. Don't think that the mourning family doesn't know, you are here to be a lobbyist for that person. The mourning family advises you not to waste your efforts, step down! Xuanyuan Jin closed his eyes and said coldly.

"The Queen Mother misunderstood! I came to Shoukang Palace today, although the emperor knew it, he didn't say it explicitly, so no matter what I said is reasonable or not, please don't blame and misunderstand the emperor. After finishing speaking, I solemnly saluted Xuanyuan Jin again, I didn't lie to her, Li Fan really didn't express this king.

"In this way, today you came to mourn the family, this Shoukang Palace Li Fan did not make it explicit, that is your own opinion?" Hearing my words, Xuanyuan Jin opened her eyes that had been closed for a long time, although she had not eaten for several days, her beautiful Danfeng eyes still revealed majesty, and her face was even more roaming back and forth.

"If you say I'm making my own decisions, then allow me to do it myself. I ask you only to listen to what I have said today. After saying this, the hall immediately fell silent, as if you could hear an embroidery needle falling on the ground.

After a long while, Xuanyuan Jin, who was lying on the soft couch and was weak, opened his lips slightly and spit out a word faintly: "Good!" After hearing the word "good", I finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to slowly say what I was going to say.

"Queen Mother, I know that you have always had a knot in your heart, that is, it is not King Zhao who sits on the throne, but the current emperor Li Fan. In terms of status, although the emperor is the eldest son of the first emperor, he is not a descendant but the child of Empress Shuxian, that is, the virtuous concubine of the first emperor. In terms of status, you are a justifiable queen, and Empress Xianshu was posthumously crowned after her death. So in terms of identity and status, King Zhao is more noble than the emperor, but if it weren't for the virtuous queen, I'm afraid you wouldn't be a mother. ”

As soon as I said this, Yufen beside Xuanyuan Jin was nervous, her face turned pale, and her body was trembling. Everyone in the harem knew that this was the topic that Xuanyuan Jin was most reluctant to mention, and she was really afraid that my words would cause Xuanyuan Jin to be furious, so she hurriedly reprimanded me sharply: "Shut up, you, you dare to speak disrespectfully to the Queen Mother." ”

"It doesn't matter! Say! Xuanyuan Jin didn't sweep the leaves as the wind as Yufen imagined, but let me continue.

"Queen Mother, although Empress Xianshu was only a concubine during her lifetime, she is not as good as your mother's honor in the world. However, Empress Xianshu saved the first emperor and General Xuanyuan when their lives were hanging by a thread, which can be said to have made great contributions to the Jiangshan Society, and then worked hard to develop a recipe to remove the plague, control the epidemic of the epidemic, and save the people from suffering. And, and ......"

Speaking of this, I hesitated, if I continue to say the following words, it is very likely to anger Xuanyuan Jin, which will deepen the deeper misunderstanding between her and Li Fan, but if I don't say that I am really in my throat, and this is not my honest and straightforward style, after thinking about it for a while, I will continue to say it with a heart.

"And Empress Xianshu was already working hard to control the epidemic when she was developing a recipe for how to control the epidemic, and she was not in good health, and soon gave birth to the emperor, and her body was weak after giving birth. But when she learned about your physical condition, regardless of her own physical weakness and the emperor's obstruction, she insisted on treating your pulse. The reason why Empress Xianshu did this is because you can enjoy the joy of your family, and secondly, for you to rely on in the second half of your life, so she exhausted her mind to cure your illness and made you give birth to King Zhao smoothly. ”

Hearing what I said, Xuanyuan Jin closed her eyes and was silent for a long time, as if she was recalling the past, and suddenly she sighed softly and opened her eyes, as if she was thanking that beautiful and kind woman.

In fact, Xuanyuan Jin's heart is also very bitter, she was born into a famous family and has a noble status, although she was a queen at the beginning, but her beloved husband and husband have another woman in their hearts.

Li Fan and Li Yun are both princes, and Li Yun is a descendant, but he has not been favored by his father since he was a child, and naturally he is not taken seriously. In the eyes of the first emperor, there is only a virtuous concubine mother and son in his heart, and any woman will be angry in her heart when she encounters such an encounter, let alone the arrogant Xuanyuan Jin?

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little sad for Xuanyuan Jin, think about it from another perspective, if I encounter such a thing, I am afraid that my heart will not be happy!

"Say! Go on. While I was deep in thought, I heard Xuanyuan Jin's voice sounding weakly again, this time she took the initiative to ask me to say it.

I nodded to her and continued: "In terms of identity, the emperor is not as noble as King Zhao, nor is he the queen mother, your biological flesh and blood, but for so many years, he has always regarded you as his biological mother to be honored." You have an old headache, and every time you have a headache, you are very painful, and because of the illness, your temper has become very irritable, and you often beat and scold the palace maids and eunuchs around you, so that no one dares to come near you when you have a headache, even your own son King Zhao avoids you. But the emperor is working on state affairs at the same time, but also tirelessly come to Shoukang Palace to visit you, and personally accompany you to serve medicine for you, even if you have a headache and impatience and anger, he scratched his hands, but he has no complaints to let you beat and scold, I only hope that you can alleviate the torture of illness. Think about it, the children of ordinary families may not be able to do this, let alone as the king of a country. ”

At this point I stopped to look at her, and when I saw Xuanyuan Jin looking at the temple door in the distance and not making a sound, I knew that she had moved.

So I struck while the iron was hot and continued to add: "Queen Mother, the emperor really honors you as a son!" If you blindly listen to slander and really meet the emperor in arms, then it will inevitably lead to a bloody war, and then the world will be in turmoil, and the lives of the people will be ruined, I think all this is not what the Queen Mother hopes for! Isn't the peace and happiness of the people in the world exactly what you want? After my words are finished, if what I say offends the Queen Mother, you will immediately condemn me, and I, Long Yuan, will never complain. ”

After saying all the words I wanted to say in my heart, I kowtowed heavily in the face of Xuanyuan Jin, who was high above. Alas! This head should be regarded as the king for my mother Long Feifei!

After listening to these heartfelt words, looking at the tears that kept pouring out of the corners of Xuanyuan Jin's eyes, I knew that my words had worked, and she was deeply moved.

Oh, yes! Li Fan is indeed a good emperor and a good son, in Xuanyuan Jin and Si Mo joined forces to force Li Fan in the palace for such a rebellious thing, Li Fan not only killed her but also treated her as the queen mother, in comparison, everything Xuanyuan Jin did was indeed too narrow-minded.

At this moment, I saw Xuanyuan Jin standing up weakly under Yufen's support, walking down the steps step by step, and slowly came to my side to personally help me up.

"Queen Mother, what are you doing? You ...... "I didn't expect Xuanyuan Jin to be able to help herself up, you must know that this arrogant woman is blind to everyone, and her move suddenly made me unable to say anything surprised.

"Long Yuan, you are a good girl. The mourning family has lived for so long and finally understands that the mourning family was too selfish and narrow-minded before! From today on, the mourning family will strive to be a kind and qualified queen mother, love my good emperor Li Fan, and make up for everything that the mourning family owes to the virtuous queen over the past few decades. ”

"Queen Mother, it's great that you can think like this, thank you!"

When he heard Xuanyuan Jin's choked words, his eyes were also red, and I was so excited.

Not only did he untie Xuanyuan Jin's long-standing knot, but also helped Li Fan find the precious maternal love that he had lost since he was a child, but he always wanted to have it again.
