Chapter 39: Alignment of Goals (2)
When Dugu Yexue heard this, her heart sighed slightly.
If Yun Xiao still has something to hide from Xia Rui, Dugu Yexue thinks that it is probably only her grandfather's business.
Although Yun Xiao didn't say anything to him, since Yun Xiao asked about the old things in Loulan, Dugu Yexue knew that a large part of the reason why Yun Xiao entered the palace was to find out what happened to her grandfather back then.
But now, Xia Rui has a deep affection for Yun Xiao, this matter, Yun Xiao may not reveal it to Xia Rui, and the investigation of his grandfather can only be done in secret, Dugu Yexue is naturally inconvenient to say to Xia Ruiming, he only said:
"Your Majesty, you are really worried, since the day she married you, the queen mother has thought about the only person in her heart, only the emperor, no matter what she does, it is for the emperor, to say a word of arrogance, the queen mother has been taught by the minister since she was a child, what kind of character is she, the minister knows best, since she is married to the emperor, it is impossible to think about other people, or other things that have nothing to do with the emperor......"
"National teacher, you misunderstood!"
Xia Rui interrupted Dugu Yexue's words, and said in a lengthened tone,
"I didn't doubt the queen's sincerity to me, and it wasn't a day or two since the queen married me, so I naturally knew that she was single-minded to me, and what I meant was ...... Is there something the queen doesn't dare to tell me? ”
In fact, Dugu Yexue didn't misunderstand what Xia Rui said just now, he just deliberately diverted the topic.
However, Xia Rui insisted on asking for an understanding, so he could only find another reason and said:
"The emperor and queen are harmonious, and the ministers are relieved...... As for...... What the emperor said, the minister estimated that the mother was worried that the dragon fetus in her womb was not completely stable, and she would be ashamed of the emperor! Moreover, Niangniang has been managing the harem for the emperor, and she has never slacked off day and night, and now for the sake of the dragon fetus, she can't share her worries for the emperor, and she will inevitably feel empty in her heart! ”
"What the national teacher said makes sense!"
Xia Rui let out a long sigh, muttered for a moment, and continued,
"The queen is always cautious, dignified and gentle, even when raising a baby, she is often worried about whether I am unhappy in the previous dynasty, and whether the harem concubines are complaining and lamenting! However, the rules in the palace are strict, and the palace people like to talk nonsense, even if the national teacher is the queen's master, like her father, the queen is not well, and she has never asked the national teacher to take a look, I mention it, and the queen will be unhappy! The queen's temperament, I sometimes can't do anything about her, but if I blindly go against her mind, wouldn't she have to complain in her heart? The national teacher taught the queen since childhood, and he is a person whom the queen respects in her heart, so it is better to ...... Go to the middle palace to persuade the queen for me, and by the way, also diagnose the queen's pulse, and say something nice, the queen will be relieved when she listens to the words of the national teacher! ”
When Dugu Yexue heard this, she finally understood the true intention of Xia Rui to invite herself to Chengqian Hall today.
Going to the middle palace to diagnose Yun Xiao's pulse, I'm afraid it's just Xia Rui's most obvious request, if he just wants to go to Yun Xiao by himself to stabilize the dragon fetus, he won't mention the former dynasty and the second concubine.
He thought that maybe as early as Xia Rui was still the prince of the East Palace, he invited himself to join the court as an official, and he was already making today's calculations.
Dugu Yexue knows that everything is unavoidable.
Therefore, he is also very calm: "The emperor can rest assured, the minister will definitely do his best in the matter of the dragon fetus, and at the same time, the minister will also persuade the queen to let go of her mood!" ”
"This couldn't be better......" Xia Rui smiled and raised his glass again, "Come, national teacher, have another drink with me!" ”
"Good!"
The two drank a few more glasses of wine, and Xia Rui pointed to the bowl of mutton soup in the middle, and said to Dugu Yexue:
"I always remember that the queen loves to drink mutton soup, saying that it is ...... Mutton is warm, nourishing and warming, especially tender lamb, the taste is the most delicious! However, although the queen likes it, she doesn't drink it often, just like her life, she always stops in moderation, which makes people feel extra comfortable. ”
Speaking of this, Xia Rui couldn't help but smile, but just for a moment, his face became gloomy again,
"However, no matter how well the queen does and how satisfied and distressed I am, there will always be people in this harem who will pick on her thorns!"
After saying this, Xia Rui no longer had an appetite, he suddenly put down his chopsticks, looked at the table with a cold face.
Dugu Yexue is not stupid, he knows that this is the real purpose of Xia Rui inviting him over today.
He also put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "The emperor is worried that the queen mother is not good for the middle palace, right?" ”
Xia Rui turned his eyes and looked at Dugu Yexue steadily, and said in a cold voice:
"Does the national teacher know that the queen almost lost her life in Concubine Li's palace this time, and it was the queen mother who secretly instructed her?!"
This matter, naturally someone has already come to tell Dugu Yexue, today was invited by Xia Rui alone to Chengqian Hall to say this, he pondered a little, he has guessed Xia Rui's thoughts, he picked up the wine jug, while calmly pouring wine for Xia Rui, while saying:
"The Queen Mother has been in the harem for many years, and the root cause is because Prime Minister Gao occupied a high position in the previous dynasty and attracted many courtiers, which is the capital of the Queen Mother's arrogance!"
When Xia Rui heard this, his eyes instantly shone with a brilliant light, he leaned his upper body forward slightly, and then asked:
"So...... Is the national teacher willing to help me in the dark and uproot the foundation that the queen mother relied on in the previous dynasty? ”
He suddenly smiled very subtly.
Dugu Yexue felt that there was an incomprehensible danger hidden in the emperor's smile.
However, he has already boarded this boat, and now it is impossible to get out of the boat.
He used Yun Xiao as a reason to lead himself into the game, but he couldn't really use this reason to enter the game "just and brightly".
Dugu Yexue quickly poured herself a glass of wine, put down the wine jug, picked up the wine glass, and said to Xia Rui with a smile:
"The Gao family's threat to the imperial power is not only in the harem, but also in the previous dynasty! In fact, the former dynasty and the harem were originally linked to each other, not to mention, the Gao family thought that there was still King De as a dependent, so they were even more unscrupulous, the minister heard that King De's concubine had good news, and King De was ready to accept her as a side concubine, if she gave birth to a little prince to King De, Prime Minister Gao was afraid that there would be more actions in the previous dynasty! For the stability of the previous dynasty and the tranquility of the Great Xia Kingdom, the ministers are willing to bear the king's worries, and they must do their best! ”
"Good!" Xia Rui was overjoyed when he heard this, "With the words of the national teacher, I feel at ease...... In the future, I will rely more on the national teacher, and ask the national teacher to give me advice! ”
"Thanks to the emperor's refusal to give up, the minister will definitely live up to his trust!"
"Hahahahaha......ha
