Chapter 180: Untying the Knot
Is Hua Rong the Queen Mother?
Shen Xingyue knew Xiao Lu, and she also knew that Xiao Lu was Huarong's personal palace maid.
"Lead the way." Shen Xingyue nodded, and followed Xiao Lu all the way to Hua Rong.
Huarong is relatively remote here, and without her summons, basically no one dares to come over and talk to her, which is convenient for the two to talk.
After looking at Shen Xingyue for a while, Hua Rong suddenly said firmly: "Xiaoyue." ”
"Hey, Rongrong, long time no see." Shen Xingyue responded, still with a smile on her face, but the laughter was not deep.
"I thought it was ...... I thought you were dead......" She stared at Shen Xingyue tightly, as if she wanted to engrave her voice and appearance in her mind.
Shen Xingyue was also silent when she heard this, and then she shook her head: "I was lucky not to die, but before I saw you, I thought you were dead." ”
"Is it because of the burial? He didn't want me to be buried. Hua Rong knew the reason why Shen Xingyue would think so, after all, Yu Liyuan had never revealed any news about Shen Xingyue to herself, and it should be the same for Shen Xingyue.
"The first emperor ...... to you There are feelings indeed. "All the concubines in the palace were all buried, leaving only a flower face, and giving her the position of the queen mother, and handing over the harem to her to take care of, which can be regarded as compensation for her.
Hua Rong smiled: "Maybe." ”
"Are you done with your revenge?" Shen Xingyue asked again.
Hua Rong nodded, a little stunned: "It's over." ”
"That's good." Shen Xingyue responded.
There was also silence between the two, obviously neither side expected to fall to this point today.
Even last night, Hua Rong was still thinking about how to deal with Shen Xingyue, and now those thoughts have all disappeared, and all that is left is apprehension.
She didn't know if Shen Xingyue would accept herself again, and she didn't know how resentful she was towards herself.
This moment of silence was particularly uncomfortable for Hua Rong, and she paused for a while before she said with difficulty: "What if...... If you feel uncomfortable, you can kill me at any time. ”
She stuffed a small bag of things into Shen Xingyue's hand, and when Shen Xingyue cast a puzzled look, Hua Rong smiled again: "It's highly poisonous inside, just a little bit, it will kill people, if you hate me, use this on me." ”
"This is my thing, I will find it in my own palace, and it has nothing to do with you." She looked at Shen Xingyue with affection.
As long as Shen Xingyue can feel comfortable in her heart, she is willing to apologize with death.
"You're fine now, what do you want to die." Shen Xingyue put the bag of poison into her pocket and asked Hua Rong.
Hua Rong was a little relieved when she saw Shen Xingyue's movements, but Shen Xingyue's words made her puzzled again.
She looked at Shen Xingyue suspiciously: "Don't you hate me?" I gave the flower dance to His Majesty. ”
"What do you hate you for, even if you don't send it, she will find a reason to come to the door herself, but it's just another way." Shen Xingyue knew that Hua Wuji's hatred for the first emperor, even if it wasn't Hua Rong to do this, it would be someone else, and what she really wanted to target should be Hua Wuji, not Hua Rong.
In the final analysis, Hua Rong was just being used, as the first beauty in the capital, she couldn't do anything, why did she have to enter the palace to commit herself to the emperor, that was also the hatred given to her by the family.
What did she do wrong? She didn't do anything, and someone wanted to sacrifice her life's happiness to avenge herself.
From beginning to end, Shen Xingyue never hated Hua Rong.
If it weren't for the family's reasons, Hua Rong would have lived a chic life now.
"Thank you...... Thank you for not hating me. Hua Rong's eyes were a little red, and she almost burst into tears.
As she said this, she lowered her head to hide her surging emotions.
"Don't cry, or others will think I'm bullying you." As soon as she saw that Hua Rong was about to cry, Shen Xingyue was anxious, she had known Hua Rong for so long, except for the last time when she was about to be beaten to death by the queen, Hua Rong had never cried.
Hua Rong wiped her tears with her sleeve and nodded: "I'm just too happy." ”
Even if there is still some sparkle in her eyes, Hua Rong still has a smile on her face, with a bright smile.
After Shen Xingyue left, Xiao Lu had never seen Hua Rong smile so happily again.
She suddenly realized in her heart that only when Hua Rong was in front of Shen Xingyue could she really let go and reveal her original self.
"Did you see it, in the Flower Storage Palace, there is a blooming peony flower, I did it, I raised it very well." Hua Rong and Shen Xingyue untied the knot in their hearts, and Hua Rong had more words.
At the mention of that peony, Shen Xingyue's face was also a little embarrassed: "That...... It looks like I picked it up, I'm sorry, aren't you going to be angry? ”
She looked at Hua Rong's face carefully, but Hua Rong didn't have any intention of being angry, and still smiled happily: "I was grounded before, even if that flower is open, I can't see it, but thanks to you, you brought that peony to me, it's really beautiful." ”
Xiao Lu was just silent when she heard this, she had forgotten how angry and sad Hua Rong was when she knew about it.
Sure enough, Huarong is only aimed at people, not things.
"And those plum blossoms, I was thinking of picking them off to make rouge, but I didn't expect you to use them too, you know I don't have any connections, and no one has told me about it, so I'm really sorry to mess up your banquet." Shen Xingyue knew that the Queen Mother was Hua Rong, so she felt that what she had done before was really wrong, and she apologized to Hua Rong in a whisper.
Xiao Lu looked at Hua Rong, and Hua Rong's face still did not change in the slightest.
She shook her head: "What are those plum blossoms, when it is summer, most of the flowers in the Imperial Garden will bloom, and it doesn't matter if you pick them all, as long as you are happy." ”
"And the banquet can not only be decorated with plum blossoms, other plans were made at the very beginning, you don't have to blame yourself, it's okay." Hua Rong comforted Shen Xingyue, as if it was really a trivial matter.
Midori felt that she knew too many secrets, and it was easy to be silenced, so it was better to remain silent for now.
"That's great, I've always felt very guilty for causing you such a big trouble unintentionally, you don't blame me, I'm a little embarrassed." Shen Xingyue also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. But she also knew in her heart that things were definitely not as simple as Hua Rong said, she was just comforting herself.
But no matter how you say it, the matter has passed, and those two things have not caused much impact, so Shen Xingyue didn't pay too much attention to it.
