Thirty-eighth
The Queen Mother was obviously stunned, she never thought that Nan Xueyu would say this: she either admitted that she was pretending to be stupid, and then pleaded guilty, or resolutely denied it in order to avoid punishment, no matter which one it was, it was human nature, but she ...... "Nan Xueyu, you tell the truth to the mourning family, do you want to enter the palace as a concubine?"
Nan Xueyu lowered her head slightly, two strands of fine hair fell, hanging down on both sides of her cheeks, lined with a crystal face, black is black, white is white, the beauty is thrilling, after a little silence, she nodded decisively, "Yes." ”
The Queen Mother's eyebrows froze, and there was a faint anger in her heart: Although Jun'er's mind did make everyone laugh - although no one dared to talk about it in front of her, and Jun'er was not his own child, but he was the king of a country, and the daughter of a subordinate did everything possible to find excuses in order not to enter the palace as a concubine, which is always a humiliation to the royal family, how can she not be angry!" It seems that your heart is higher than the sky, and you have been wronged by entering the palace as a concubine, isn't it? ”
The daughters of the other three selected families this time are all outstanding and talented: Tang Xinping, the daughter of Taishi Tang Haoxuan, Ming Xiaoyun, the daughter of Taifu Mingzhixi, and Xue Zitong, the daughter of Xue Shaoqian, Taibao, which is not famous, everyone knows? Although Nan Xueyu is beautiful, in the eyes of the world, after all, she is a fool, she can be selected, it should be her honor, right, why is she still afraid of it?
Hearing the anger in the Queen Mother's words, Nan Xueyu stopped what she was doing and knelt down, "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, and the courtiers have a hard time." ”
The Queen Mother's voice was slightly cold, "Say." Listen to what excuses she can use to convince herself that she may be excused from her sins. However, just now she kneaded her legs, it was really comfortable, and when she stopped at this moment, she was a little uncomfortable.
"Yes, Queen Mother," Nan Xueyu's eyes flashed a sharp color: success or failure in this move, in front of the Queen Mother, you don't have to make any excuses, just tell the truth, see what the Queen Mother's attitude is!" "Queen Mother, the reason why the courtiers don't want to enter the palace is that they don't want to become some people's pawns, not to mention that the courtiers still have a big revenge that has not been avenged, and they don't want to be tied up hand and foot, and the courtiers have no contempt for the emperor, and please ask the Queen Mother to be clear." And if the memory of her previous life is correct, the emperor's stupidity also has another mystery, but now that the matter is unclear, she doesn't dare to make an assertion, so as not to cause a bigger storm. Or wait for her crisis to be resolved, and after she has fully gained the trust of the Queen Mother, she will slowly explain this matter, maybe she can find out some unknown secrets?
"Oh?" the Queen Mother's eyes flickered, and her heart was even more astringent, "Become someone's pawn? The big revenge has not been avenged? Nan Xueyu, are you playing dumb riddles with the mourning family, say it clearly!" From Nan Xueyu's words, she heard a strong resentment and coldness, could it be that her hatred was related to the royal family? Then she couldn't stand by and watch!
Nan Xueyu raised her head boldly, looked at the majestic face of the queen mother, and said calmly, "Who is the courtier, the queen mother understands in her heart, the courtiers dare not speak again! The courtiers want the queen mother to believe that the courtiers have no malice towards the royal family and the emperor, if the queen mother feels that the courtiers still have merit, the courtiers will do their best for the queen mother, if the courtiers are selected as concubines, they will be bound by their status, and they are powerless, please think twice." ”
The Queen Mother pursed her lips tightly, and she saw more and more that she was intellectual, calm, thoughtful, and thoughtful, and that she did not leak a drop of water when she spoke, and that she had her own hills and valleys in her chest, and she could not see through her! What's more, more importantly, she had a frank expression, and her eyebrows exuded an upright air, and she was not afraid, and she was so similar to herself when she was young! Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers...... The Queen Mother was agitated, remembering the past years, and had a kind of sympathy for Nan Xueyu, and finally smiled, "Nan Xueyu, the mourning family almost mistook you, get up, the mourning family believes in you." ”
Nan Xueyu's heart was relieved, and then she realized that her back had been soaked with cold sweat! If the Queen Mother was a narrow-minded person, she would have no choice but to ask her about her crimes! "Thank you Queen Mother!" She knocked her head to the ground, because of gratitude, her voice trembled a little, "The courtiers can be favored by the Queen Mother, it is the courtiers who have cultivated for three lives! The courtiers must do their best for the Queen Mother, and they will die!" "Murong Yao, do you think that if you complain to the Queen Mother, you can take my life! Unfortunately, you are wrong!" The queen mother's temperament, how can a despicable villain like you understand that from now on, there is a queen mother who is in charge of her, what is she afraid of!
"It's serious, get up," the Queen Mother showed a loving smile on her face and helped her up with her own hands, "Xue Yu, although the mourning family believes you, but the ugly words are ahead, because you said that it will not be bad for the royal family, but if the mourning family knows that you have the intention of endangering the royal family in the future, don't blame the mourning family for being ruthless!" Although she began to like this stubborn child, after all, she did not have a deep friendship with Nan Xueyu, it was just an intuition, if Nan Xueyu intended to deceive her, she would not be able to see the truth for a while.
Nan Xueyu's expression was straight, her eyebrows revealed a firm color, raised her right hand, and swore without hesitation, "The courtiers swear by their mother's relatives and eldest sister's spirit in the sky, and they will never do anything to be sorry for the queen mother and the emperor, otherwise the courtiers will not be allowed to be reborn after death, and the souls of the courtiers' mothers and eldest sisters will fall into the eighteenth layer of hell and suffer a lot!" This is already the most poisonous oath in ancient times, which shows her determination.
"Don't say that!" Seeing her stern appearance, especially when she mentioned her mother and eldest sister's grief, the Queen Mother couldn't bear it, pulled her hand down, held it in her hand, and sighed, "Most people in the world have eyes without beads, Xue Yu, a woman like you with a blue heart, how can others ...... That's it, thanks to the mourning family for summoning you to ask for clarification, otherwise it wouldn't have been missed in vain. How could she not see that Nan Xueyu would be a big help to her, the two have the same heart, and they will complement each other and make a difference.
"The queen mother praised falsely, if it weren't for the queen mother's broad-mindedness, how could the courtiers escape punishment this time," Nan Xueyu's face was slightly hot, and she was embarrassed to raise her head, "The courtiers are ashamed...... "How can others misunderstand her and look down on her, she is like a mirror, and she has never complained about the heavens and others, but the queen mother's praise of her, she is ashamed.
The Queen Mother smiled, and suddenly remembered something, "Xue Yu, the Wing King, he ......"
"Don't be impatient," there was a sound of footsteps in her ears, Nan Xueyu knew that it was Haiqiu who was going and returning, and hurriedly glanced at the Queen Mother, meaning that she should not be in a hurry first, "The courtiers will explain everything to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother only needs to be as usual." As for how to explain to Murong Yao, I believe that the Queen Mother has her own opinions, and she doesn't need to say much.
The Queen Mother looked at her for a while, nodded slowly, and her expression calmed down, "It's okay." ”
Haiqiu came in with a small medicine box, probably in a hurry all the way, panting very much, "Ginseng, see Tai, Queen Mother...... Snow, Xueyu girl, look at this, can these be used......"
Nan Xueyu opened the medicine box and looked at it, there was a row of neat gold needles on the small cloth bag, which was very delicate and looked very useful, it seemed that this hospital thing was really extraordinary, she nodded with satisfaction, "Very good - the queen mother, the courtier is about to apply the needle." ”
The Queen Mother closed her eyes, leaned on the couch, and didn't say much, just said "um".
Nan Xueyu immediately began to administer needles for the Queen Mother, although the Queen Mother's illness was a little troublesome, but fortunately, it was not to the point of incurability, she first applied the prick method in the blood prick therapy to treat it, see how the effect was, and then make adjustments.
——
Murong Yao was originally inexplicably proud, waiting leisurely in his own mansion, as long as the Queen Mother knew that Nan Xueyu was pretending to be stupid to avoid choosing a concubine, she would definitely be angry, and then ask her to be a concubine, so that she must be afraid, have nothing to rely on, and in the end she didn't have to rely on herself?
"Nan Xueyu, Nan Xueyu, you really think that you are not stupid, you are not afraid of anything, right? This king wants you to know that you can't escape from the palm of this king!"
He thought it was good, but he waited left and right, there was no news in the palace, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was also very calm, nothing happened, so he couldn't help but wonder inexplicably: Could it be that the Queen Mother was angry, and she executed Nan Xueyu unknowingly and unknowingly, otherwise how could there be no movement at all?
Until the next day, there was still no movement, Murong Yao couldn't hold his breath anymore, and went to Fushou Palace to ask for clarification in person.
As a result, what he never expected was that when he braved the heavy rain and went in to ask the Queen Mother for peace, what he saw was a scene that shocked him: the Queen Mother was leaning on the couch, and Nan Xueyu was sitting on the side kneading her legs...... Why did the Queen Mother know that Nan Xueyu was pretending to be stupid, not only was she not angry, but she was more and more eager to see her, what is the reason!
Nan Xueyu saw his shocked and unbelievable reaction in her heart, and secretly sneered: Murong Yao, you have miscalculated this time, does this taste good? However, this is nothing at all, what makes you even more uncomfortable is still to come! Thinking so in her heart, she was very respectful on her face, and stood up and saluted, "The courtiers see His Royal Highness the Wing King." ”
Murong Yao was only shocked, but he didn't come back to his senses or respond.
The Queen Mother glanced at him, her expression was as calm as ever, neither rusty nor too close, and said indifferently, "Yao'er, Xue Yu saluted you, why don't you have a word? ”
"Oh?" Murong Yao snapped back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Yes, Queen Mother, Erchen is just a momentary gaffe...... Nan Xueyu, you don't have to be polite, get up. "Something is wrong, very wrong, isn't it that Nan Xueyu, a slut, used some unsavory means to deceive the Queen Mother's trust and escape punishment? No, I must expose her true colors, otherwise I won't make her too proud!
