Chapter 958: Quid pro quo

The Queen Mother said lightly, it seems that she and Shangguan Dongzhu have never been an undying enemy, but they seem to be strangers who don't know each other.

There is no hatred, but there is no familiarity.

After going through the world, there don't seem to be so many irreconcilable contradictions between the Queen Mother and Shangguan Dongzhu.

Now even if one person is the respect of women in the world, the other is reduced to a prisoner.

But in the end, the rest is just a desolation.

After all, the two of them are just weapons used by that person.

"Yes, from the day I was named queen, I thought that this position would be mine. But in the end, it's just a void. ”

There was some regret in Shangguan Dongzhu's tone, but Lin Mengya felt that she was more like she had been freed from a nightmare.

Perhaps, Shangguan's family, this palace, is just a dream for Shangguan Dongzhu and the Queen Mother.

First, they have been destined for the dream of the road since they were born.

"You're Shuqing's child, aren't you?"

Shangguan Dongzhu turned his head and landed on Lin Mengya's body.

She nodded lightly, but in her heart she felt that Shangguan Dongzhu was asking knowingly.

"Hahaha - a big dream! It's just a big dream! ”

Shangguan Dongzhu suddenly laughed violently, and she began to cough until her face turned red, and then calmed down a little.

It's just that the light in those eyes is even darker.

"You guys go out first, I have something to say and want to talk to this kid alone."

The Queen Mother was a little worried, after all, she knew the grievances between Shangguan Dongzhu and Lin Mengya very clearly.

But intuition told Lin Mengya that the former queen must know a lot of secrets.

Hand the Queen Mother a look to reassure her.

asked Bai Su to withdraw with the Queen Mother and Aunt Jinyue, and soon, she and Shangguan Dongzhu were left in the house.

Under the dim light in the room, Shangguan Dongzhu's slightly flushed face looked a little sickly.

Lin Mengya knew that the medicine that Princess Tiancheng fed her had already hurt her roots.

That's why, Shangguan Dongzhu still looks like a normal person now, maybe it's just the former queen's own residual means.

"I envy your mother."

Shangguan Dongzhu's voice was very soft, and the whole person seemed to be stuck in the past when he was young.

"When she married your father, I had just given birth to Lin'er. At that time, although I was in the middle palace, I was also very lonely. Those women only know how to please me, and the concubines in the palace, each of them are staring at my position. To protect my children, to hold my position, to defend my mother. I had to fight, to grab. It wasn't until I met your mother that I realized that there was another way to live in this world. ”

Lin Mengya once heard a sentence that all bad guys seem to have their own last resort.

But these last resorts do not justify them doing bad things.

Perhaps Shangguan Dongzhu was right, for the sake of those glories, she had to leave behind the timidity, gentleness and compassion of a woman.

But after all, what she brought to others was misfortune.

Therefore, she became the way she is now, and she is also to blame.

"Originally, I thought she was an empty valley orchid, beautiful and beautiful, but she lacked a noble background. But then, I found that the nobles who had once been proud of their looks and manners were all obscured by her dazzling light. It wasn't until she confessed to me that I realized how ridiculous I was. She is actually a princess of a country. No wonder she is so good, so ashamed of herself. ”

Shangguan Dongzhu seemed to want to pour out the words that had been held back for many years.

Lin Mengya could only listen quietly, anyway, the other party praised her mother, even though she felt a little bored, Haihuasi couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart.

"I really want to be good friends with her, she is so beautiful, kind, and intelligent. As if I could see through all the vanity of the world, I regarded her as my only confidant and friend. You may not know that when your brother falls to the ground, I am happier than anyone else. But in the end, she died at my hands. ”

Lin Mengya looked at Shangguan Dongzhu laughing and crying for a while, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little cold.

No matter how good Shangguan Dongzhu said now, her mother's life was buried in her hands after all.

It's just that I didn't expect that Shangguan Dongzhu suddenly cried very sadly.

Looking into her eyes, there was only deep sadness.

"I really don't want to hurt her, but your mother is crying and begging me that she must die. Child, I didn't mean to hurt you. Before Qing passed through the door, I had warned her that she must not treat your brothers and sisters harshly. Even, I once thought about taking you all to the palace to raise you. But I didn't expect that Ah Qing, Ah Qing would be so ruthless. Child, after all, I'm sorry for you. ”

Lin Mengya's eyes were already full of chills.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a sneer.

"You're not sorry for us, you're sorry, it's just my mother's heart for treating you as a close friend. Even when Shangguan Qing passed the door, you still had some kindness to our brothers and sisters. But these, under the torment of the ambitions of you and your children, have long since disappeared, right? You took advantage of my father's absence to stuff me to Long Tianyu, what was your idea, the two of us knew it. So now, you don't have to use these hypocritical words to justify yourself. I'm just going to ask you one thing, what exactly do you want to tell me. ”

In the hazy eyes of tears, Shangguan Dongzhu looked at the woman in front of him, and there was a slight strangeness in his eyes.

Although the appearance is very similar, the woman in front of her is much colder than her mother.

Slowly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she was right, her current behavior would only make people feel ridiculous.

slowly put away the sadness on her face, and turned to reveal the indifference and elegance she had when she was the queen.

After all, it is a mask that has been maintained for decades, and now it can no longer be taken off.

"I hope you can spare my children, I know that what they have done is as unforgivable as I am. But I also ask you to save their lives at the last moment. You can abolish their identities or even ruin their appearances, but please, let them live well. ”

Lin Mengya knew that the former queen would never tell herself about her grievances for no reason.

His eyebrows were raised slightly, and there was a little cruel mockery in his eyes when he looked at Shangguan Dongzhu.

"What are the conditions? I never wanted to let go of your children. If you want them to live, you have to at least get the right conditions, right? ”

Lin Mengya looked like she was businesslike, and she was not affected by the so-called past events just now.

Shangguan Dongzhu sighed before he said quietly.

"You don't know who the leader of the Candle Dragon Society is, right?"

Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked at her, even though she knew that Shangguan Dongzhu would have an affair with Candle Dragon, but even Qinghu didn't know the secret of the leader, how could Shangguan Dongzhu, a woman who lived in the deep palace all the year round, know?

I saw Shangguan Dongzhu take an object from her neck and put it on the square table in front of her.

"You must also know that Ru'er poured me a lot of medicine. If it were an ordinary person, he would have gone crazy by now. The reason why I don't have it now is because of this thing. ”

Lin Mengya picked up the object with some suspicion and looked at it, and found that it was just a column similar to turquoise.

Looking closer, there was a faint fragrance in his nose, and his mind suddenly became clear.

In the Shennong system, a name automatically jumps out.

"Immortal brewing, no matter what the circumstances, can keep people sanity."

With a slight scratch of his fingernail, there was soon a scratch on the bead. Soon, though, it will be able to recover automatically.

According to the Qingzheng spectrum, the origin of this thing is unknown, and only a very rare stock has been handed down.

Don't look at this big piece of fingernails, but it can be used for hundreds of years without dissipation.

No wonder, Shangguan Dongzhu was not affected by the drug at all.

"This is the heirloom of our Shangguan family, and when it was handed down from our ancestors, it could be bigger than this. Later, when I entered the palace, my family was afraid that someone would murder me, so they secretly handed over this thing to me. Maybe it's because of this reason, so the people of the Shangguan family are crazy. When the leader first came to me, that's what it was. ”

Lin Mengya looked at the immortal brew in her hand with some surprise, the leader is so good, why do you want to use this thing?

But then, Shangguan Dongzhu looked a little hesitant and talked about her meeting with the leader.

"When I first entered the middle palace, a little palace maid secretly told me that she had a way to help me retain His Majesty's favor for a long time. At that time, there were several concubines who relied on their own favor to be favored by His Majesty and wanted to replace me. I said yes when I was young. Sure enough, half a month later, those women were either crazy or sick and could no longer sleep. I found the little maid and asked her if she had done it. But the result I got was that the little palace maid had passed away a few months ago. I thought I had encountered a ghost, so I didn't say anything. Until one night, the little palace maid appeared in front of me again, and this time, she brought a few people with her. ”

At that time, Shangguan Dongzhu had not yet developed an iron-blooded heart.

When the rumored dead reappeared, she was terrified.

But the little palace maid explained that she was just doing things through this identity, so when she changed her appearance, Shangguan Dongzhu's beating heart finally comforted a lot.

But later, when the little palace maid coerced and lured her to see the master behind the scenes, Rao was the guts of Shangguan Dongzhu, and she couldn't help but be startled.

"The man was wrapped in a black cloak, and I didn't see his appearance clearly, but I saw the eyes. Pure black, like the color of hell. ”
