Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Turning Point
There were only two people left in the room, the Queen Mother and Princess Anyang, Princess Anyang was still in a trance, as if she had lost her soul, she pulled the corner of the Queen Mother's clothes, and she was still talking vaguely in her mouth.
"Queen Mother, you must be the master of Anyang!"
"Queen Mother, what the hell is going on?"
When the Queen Mother first saw the letter, her heart was also furious, no matter what kind of person her daughter is, she is still the princess of the Central Plains, and no one can bully her!
And the concubine is just a poor scholar with a low status, and he dares to tease his daughter like this, which makes the Queen Mother very angry, but after calming down, the Queen Mother's mood slowly recovered.
She looked at her daughter, Princess Anyang still looked pitiful, the Queen Mother let out a long sigh, and then asked, "Anyang, where did the medicine you took a few days come from?" ”
Princess Anyang didn't react at first, until the Queen Mother asked again, Princess Anyang seemed to have just understood, a trace of panic appeared on her face, she took the hand of the Queen Mother's clothes and quietly let go.
"What are you talking about, Queen Mother?" An Yang's voice trembled a little, and he asked rhetorically.
"Mourners ask you! Where did those pills come from? The Queen Mother accentuated her tone and continued to ask.
When Princess Anyang saw the Queen Mother's expression like this, she knew that there was no way to hide her own affairs from the Queen Mother's eyes, she thought for a while, and replied: "A doctor next to me..."
After she answered, she lowered her head and secretly looked at the Queen Mother, wanting to know what the Queen Mother wanted to say.
The Queen Mother listened to Princess Anyang's words, and she was really not surprised at all, she already knew about this matter: "How many years has that doctor been by your side?" ”
"It's been many years...."Princess Anyang thought that what the Queen Mother was going to say was that she casually ate the prescriptions made by the doctors outside, and the Queen Mother was not at ease, but the Queen Mother looked at Princess Anyang with a scrutinizing gaze, which made Princess Anyang feel a little uncomfortable.
"The Queen Mother... Queen Mother, what are you doing looking at Anyang like this? Princess Anyang asked cautiously.
"Anyang, you tell the truth to the queen mother...."The queen mother hesitated, but she still asked, but she was only halfway through the words before she was interrupted by Princess Anyang.
Princess Anyang retorted eagerly: "Queen Mother, this person has been by my side for many years, and his medical skills are very good, so there will be no problem." ”
She wanted to ask this question quickly, but the Queen Mother's expression was even more strange.
"Anyang, you told your mother truthfully, have you ever taken any other medicine?"
Princess Anyang was asked by the Queen Mother, her face really showed a little puzzled, she didn't know what the Queen Mother was talking about, she came back this time, she only took this kind of medicine, and it was originally prepared for her daughter, the lord of Guide.
That poison was actually given to her by the doctor next to her, but Princess Anyang knew that even if she was her own mother, she couldn't say anything about it.
"Not now, it's before, have you ever taken any other medicine?" The Queen Mother looked at Princess Anyang with a scrutinizing gaze, and finally asked: "The recipe for avoiding the child...."
The expression on Princess Anyang's face suddenly changed, with a little shock, a little embarrassment, and a little disbelief, as if wondering, why did her queen mother know about this?
The Queen Mother looked at the look on her daughter's face and knew that she had guessed correctly.
The Queen Mother's face showed a deep sense of exhaustion: "You are confused, Anyang!" You're confused! ”
Princess Anyang looked at her mother like this, and she was also a little nervous in her heart, and hurriedly explained:
"The Queen Mother! No! In those years, there was always no saltiness between the colt and me, and I always felt that the colt did not have me in his heart, so he was angry and didn't want to give him another child! ”
Princess Anyang said this, her eyes were blurred with tears, she wanted her mother to comfort herself, but this time, the queen mother did not continue to comfort her as Princess Anyang imagined, but was very serious.
"Anyang, is there a concubine room around the horse?"
"He dares!" Princess Anyang's voice immediately raised, she looked at the Queen Mother, and squeezed out from between her teeth: "He dares!" As long as he dares to find other women, I must make him look good! ”
Immediately afterwards, Princess Anyang seemed to think that her colt not only found other women outside, but also concealed herself, and even had a child!
She immediately felt very humiliated: "When I go back, I must kill them all!" Let them know what will happen to me if you betray me! ”
Princess Anyang said viciously as if she couldn't control herself.
"Anyang!" The Queen Mother scolded her sharply, making Princess Anyang come back to her senses.
"If you kill the pony, don't think about it yourself!" The Queen Mother looked at her daughter, and actually felt very strange, obviously her daughter was not like this a few years ago, at least in her impression, it was not like this.
"Anyang! Think before you speak! Do you still need to teach you this? ”
The Queen Mother saw Princess Anyang grabbing the corners of her clothes, and the unwillingness on her face was all written, and the Queen Mother only felt cold: "If you really attack the concubine, or that woman and child, your imperial brother will not let you go." ”
Princess Anyang's expression suddenly became even more ugly: "I am a princess, the concubine carries me on my back, and I have children with other women outside, humiliating me like this, humiliating me, humiliating the royal family, queen mother, do you just watch Anyang being bullied like this?" ”
The Queen Mother's voice was very calm: "Anyang, if you take your own medicine and don't let the horse have its own heir, if the horse knows about this, even if he has other children outside, then you are helpless." ”
"Why! He doesn't know! He must not know! How could he know! Princess Anyang seemed to be comforting herself and repeated this sentence, but the Queen Mother only felt that her daughter was spoiled.
"Anyang, you two are husband and wife, living together every day, even if you are careful, how can the colt not notice it at all?" The Queen Mother asked rhetorically.
Princess Anyang raised her head and asked, "Queen Mother, what should I do now?" I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled! She said hoarsely.
The Queen Mother stood up and wanted to leave, but Princess Anyang grabbed her clothes and didn't let go: "Queen Mother!" Now only you can help Anyang! Queen mother! You don't go! ”
She vaguely felt that her mother's attitude towards herself had changed, which made her have a bad premonition.
The Queen Mother stopped and looked back at Princess Anyang: "This is not necessarily a bad thing, you don't want to go anywhere if you stay here, do you hear?" It's the only thing the Queen Mother can do for you..."
Then the Queen Mother was supported by Aunt Liu and walked out of Princess Anyang's house, Aunt Liu only felt that the Queen Mother's body seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden.
Aunt Liu also watched Princess Anyang grow up, and she didn't expect that Princess Anyang would become like this.
The master and servant glanced at each other.
"Niangniang, don't be too uncomfortable, your body is important..."
"What else do you need from this body?" The Queen Mother sat down and rubbed her temples with her hands.
"Queen Mother, don't say that, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, and His Royal Highness King Yu, but I still need you! You're going to be in good hands! ”
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and did not speak, but the next day she called the emperor to come to her bedroom for dinner.
When the emperor came up, he was very polite to the queen mother, and the queen mother was also very concerned about the emperor.
After dinner, the Queen Mother told the emperor about Princess Anyang yesterday.
The emperor frowned tightly: "The matter of the horse...", the emperor wanted to say something, but closed his mouth.
sighed: "Anyang has really gone too far, this dynasty has never had a rule that concubines are not allowed to take concubines, but the princess has a noble status, and most of the concubines are harmonious, so it has never been..."
"But Anyang himself doesn't want children, and he doesn't allow the horse to have other children, do you want the horse to be the queen?" The emperor knew in his heart that Princess Anyang was at fault for this matter, carrying her husband behind her back, taking the prescription to avoid her son, and concealing it, but Anyang's status was precious, and she was too decisive to do things.
Speaking of this, the emperor looked at the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, what do you want to say to me?" ”
The Queen Mother sighed, a little embarrassed, and finally said:
"Your Majesty, Anyang is indeed at fault in this matter, but Anyang's temper for so many years, you don't know it, this time, Anyang has completely fallen out with the horse...."
"Anyang looks a little crazy now, Anyang is such a child as Guide, if Guide and his relatives go to Xirong, then what can Anyang do? When I thought of Anyang being alone, I felt uncomfortable in my heart. ”
As she spoke, the Queen Mother's tears flowed.
The emperor has not seen the queen mother so weak for many years In the emperor's memory, the queen mother has always been a resolute woman, but at this age, because of her daughter, she is so sad.
"But in this matter, I have already promised Xirong, Guide is what Prince Xijon himself likes, if I don't allow Guide to marry casually now, Xirong really can't explain it."
The emperor heard that the queen mother wanted to let the lord of Guide stay and let others go to make peace, but the emperor was actually unwilling, but it was rare for the queen mother to ask for something like this, and the emperor could not refuse directly.
