Chapter 515: Something Unique
No wonder that round fan is so face-saving, it was originally brought in from the house, and the big waves washed the sand, presumably she has always been loyal, so she can stay until today.
At that time, Su Guifei cried day and night, the condition of the four princes did not improve, the emperor was furious, and ordered a thorough investigation, fortunately, the girl with a round fan was loyal and clever, sneaked into Su Guifei's palace in the middle of the night, and stole a box of mandala pollen. Who knew that Su Ge had already given his daughter an idea and laid the groundwork, the pollen box was unique to the queen's palace, so the arrow came in the direction of the queen! Although it has been a long time, Mrs. Zhu, who has always been calm, still can't help but shed tears of grief and indignation.
Mrs. Zhu wiped her tears: "At that time, I had nothing to do, but to come forward and come down, saying that I put the mandala pollen into the womb of the Four Emperors, at the beginning the Su family was still unforgiving, and I wanted to put the queen to death, and later after many investigations, even my youngest son was tortured to death by them, but there was indeed no evidence of what the queen did, and the matter finally ended like this, and only sentenced me to death." Fortunately, I was prepared in advance, secretly prepared a bag of gold and silver, and bribed the executioner, even if I escaped from the palace, I didn't dare to show up, and I have been hiding in Tibet for a few years, making a living as a domestic servant. Wei Dongjia, it turns out that what I said to you is half-true, just because I am afraid that people will suspect me, and I don't mean to hide it from you, so don't blame my wife. ”
"Aunt Zhu," after hearing this, Qingwan was extremely shocked. Although I had long thought that this old lady Zhu had an unusual background, it was unexpected that she had such a close connection with the queen, "Look at where you go, I understand your distress." I will tell you a good news, General Zhu Yan, the nephew of the queen mother, won the battle on the front line and will return in triumph soon, so you don't have to worry about the queen mother. ”
"I have taken care of the queen mother since I was a child, and I am closer than my own daughter," Mrs. Zhu wiped her tears: "I heard that the queen was sick, I really can't let go of this heart, Wei Dongjia, I beg you, no matter what, find a way to take me into the palace, so that I can see the queen mother with my own eyes again, so that I will be grateful to the owner in Jiuquan!" ”
Qingwan pondered for a moment, and was indeed very embarrassed: "Aunt Zhu, I understand your thoughts, but this matter is not something that I can do." As you know, I'm not a noblewoman, and I can't come and go freely in the palace. ”
"The queen has been weak since she was a child, and she has been sick for so long, I really can't rest assured," Mrs. Zhu wiped her tears: "Wei Dongjia, please think of a way to let me meet my mother!" ”
"Auntie, don't worry, I already have an idea." Qingwan's mind moved, and she thought of a solution: "Mrs. Zhu, you must know each other?" I went to Zhu's Mansion to look for her, or asked Mrs. Zhu to help with this, she will definitely be able to find a way. ”
"You mean young grandma?" Mrs. Zhu's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, why didn't I remember it?" Young grandma is a righteous person, if you mention me to her, you will definitely be able to agree. ”
"Don't worry, I'll take you to Zhu's mansion." Qingwan said, stood up and came to the front, instructed Lu Xiufang a few words, went out and got in the car and went straight to Zhu's mansion.
Zhu An has always kept a low profile, and a few years ago, the emperor had rewarded him with a large mansion in the center of the capital, but he insisted on refusing it, and still lived in the small residence left by his ancestors.
Zhu Mansion is located in the northwest corner of the capital, and the surrounding area is extremely quiet, and there are few households. The mansion is not big, and it looks very old on the outside, not to mention Zhu Anchang's identity, even the six squires, the mansion is much better than this.
There were only three or two doormen in front of the door, but they were not like the casual manners of other people, all of them stood with their hands down, not moving at all. Qingwan couldn't help but think in her heart, from this place, you can see the self-discipline and rules of the Zhu family.
"Please let the eldest brother report it, the Wei Dong family in the Yan makeup shop has something important to ask to see Mrs. Zhu." When he arrived at the door, the coachman jumped down first and said to the doorman.
A doorman took over the post: "Please wait here for a while, and I'll go in and reply." ”
After saying that, he hurried in.
Mrs. Zhu got out of the car with Qingwan's support, looking at the place where she had lived for decades, and couldn't stop her tears flowing down like a broken thread.
Qingwan was afraid that she would be old and make a mistake, so she held her tightly and whispered, "Auntie, don't be too excited." Have you never been back since you left? ”
"No, no," Mrs. Zhu said in a low voice, "How dare I come back easily?" for fear of being discovered and causing trouble to the master. I've come back here in countless dreams, and when I wake up, it's always empty, and the house is still the same, but it's just the people in it."
Before he could say anything, he saw that the door that had just entered came out in a hurry: "Wei Dongjia, our wife is invited." ”
Qingwan bowed slightly, and helped Mrs. Zhu into the door.
The doormen on both sides looked at the old woman dressed up in tears, and couldn't help but cast surprised eyes.
Entering the mansion, there is no luxurious atmosphere, the maids and servants are all old clothes of the same color, but they are extremely stable, although there are many people, everything is in order.
The doorman stopped before the second gate, and two women came up, saluted, and continued to lead them to the main room without saying a word.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the main room, I heard Mrs. Zhu's voice: "Why don't you take out the young master's favorite set of wine vessels and wipe them clean?" When the young master comes back, he will definitely have a few drinks with the master. ”
"Ma'am. Guests please come in. The two women went in first and went back.
"Then why don't you come in?" As she spoke, Mrs. Zhu had already greeted her in person: "Yo, Wei Dongjia, what's the urgency here, you found it so soon?" Isn't that a prescription?"
Before the words fell, Mrs. Zhu had already seen Mrs. Zhu behind her, and she was stunned for a moment. For a moment, he seemed to remember something, but he couldn't believe it, and shook his head unconsciously.
Qingwan saw all this in his eyes, took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "Madam, I'll tell you about the matter when I go in." ”
Mrs. Zhu understood, nodded, and walked in with Qingwan's hand, and Mrs. Zhu also followed.
After sitting down, Mrs. Zhu couldn't wait to say, "Wei Dongjia, what's wrong?" ”
"Madam, look at this lady, do you recognize it?" Qingwan pointed behind her first.
Mrs. Zhu was already full of doubts, and when she heard this, she looked over there, and the doubts in her eyes deepened: "You are"
"Young grandmother, no, madam, it's the old slave, you don't recognize me anymore?" Old Mrs. Zhu had already stood up, her words incoherent, and her lips were trembling.
"You are" Mrs. Zhu couldn't believe it at this time, but the scene in front of her couldn't help but not believe it, "Granny Zhu?" ”
"Madam, it's the old slave!" Mrs. Zhu knelt down and couldn't stop her tears.
Mrs. Zhu also trembled slightly, and hurriedly went to help herself, tears pouring down: "Granny Zhu! You're alive! Why hasn't there been any news all these years? Do you know how sad the queen mother feels when she mentions you? ”
"Although the old slave is on the run, he is always concerned about Niangniang, who grew up watching the old slave since childhood," Mrs. Zhu couldn't wait to ask: "Madam, tell the old slave quickly, how is the queen's body now?" ”
"Don't worry," Mrs. Zhu said busily, "Thanks to a girl, she has rejuvenated her hand and cured the queen's illness, and now she is completely fine." It's just that how have you been here for the past few years? We always thought that "
Mrs. Zhu was helped up, and after sitting down, she wiped her tears, and said how she escaped death back then, and how she had been incognito in the past few years, wandering in the capital until she fell ill on the street, was rescued by Qingjuan, and had been living in a makeup shop.
"No matter what, as long as you know that you are still alive, the queen mother will be at ease," Mrs. Zhu said: "You live with me now, and we can take care of you sooner or later." ”
"No, no," Mrs. Zhu hurriedly waved her hand: "The old slave ventured here today, not to still return to the house. But there is only one request, as long as the lady can agree, the old slave will have no regrets. ”
"What request? If you have something to say, just speak. ”
"The old slave is already in his last years, although it is lucky that Miss Lai Qing has cured the old disease, I am afraid that there are not many days to live. The only wish is to be able to see the queen again, and this matter can only come to ask Mrs., I only hope that Mrs. can agree to the old slave. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhu also showed a look of embarrassment, and said for a while: "It's not that I don't understand your feelings, and it's not that I don't want to promise you. It's just that you know what happened a few years ago. This suddenly enters the palace, in case someone finds out"
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Zhu knelt down again with a puff: "Madam, no matter what, please think of a way, I"
"Get up!" Mrs. Zhu hurriedly went to help again: "I didn't say I wouldn't help you find a way, but"
"Madam," Qingwan began, "in my opinion, it is not too difficult. After several years, Aunt Zhu has experienced so many things, and her appearance has already changed, so don't you almost recognize you? As long as you change a set of clothes and follow behind your wife, no one will find out. ”
"This" Mrs. Zhu seemed to be moved, but she hesitated and did not dare to agree.
"Madam, if the queen mother knows about this, she will definitely let you take the eldest lady into the palace and meet her. The relationship between the queen mother and the eldest mother is extraordinary, how can you feel at ease if you don't see it? ”
"That's right." Mrs. Zhu groaned, obviously moved.
"Madame, don't worry, the old slave will not cause you any trouble"
