Chapter 685: Kiss or Don't Wait 1
Lin Ruo quickly came back to her senses, her thoughts were surging, and she suddenly understood why the Empress Dowager would let her swear allegiance to Donglu, why the Empress Dowager entrusted her with the burden of protecting the Qu family, and why the Empress Dowager believed that she had this ability!
It turned out that her planning and layout were actually seen by the Queen Mother, but she was kept in the dark and didn't know anything about it. Of course, she had been hiding in the Lin Mansion in the past, giving advice behind her back. Now that it is gradually revealed in front of people, what kind of legendary figure is the queen mother, and how can she hide her insight?
Lin Ruo not only figured out this, but also understood the reason why the Queen Mother told her this secret before leaving-because she took over the Queen Mother's decree and took over the burden given to her by the Queen Mother.
It's a gesture of goodwill.
If she hadn't made a heavy oath so decisively, then this secret would have become a handle to restrain her and be mastered by the Qu family.
Ginger, after all, is old and spicy.
Even if the Wing Fire Guard has become Emperor Mingzong's secret guard, the Empress Dowager always has a group of die-hard people who only obey her orders, listen to her orders, and use them for her. As for whose hands these dead soldiers will end up in, Lin Ruo guessed that most of them were in the hands of the people of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan, maybe Mrs. Xuanlu, maybe the prince of Zhennan, or Qu Xiaoxiang. It won't fall into her hands.
Even so, Lin Ruo had no grudge or hatred for the Empress Dowager in her heart, so she did not ask if in addition to the Wang family, the Empress Dowager knew about the Ji family of Daiguo, the Ye family of Xishu, and the shops that specialized in collecting news all over Donglu and surrounding countries.
Maybe the Queen Mother knows, maybe the Queen Mother doesn't. But there is one thing that Lin Ruo firmly believes, and that is - no more people will know this secret, including Emperor Mingzong.
She is grateful, admired, and reluctant to the Queen Mother.
As she said to the Queen Mother, it was all from the bottom of her heart.
What happened back then, in the final analysis, it was Qu Lianyang's selfishness and willfulness that caused such a tragic consequence. From the beginning of Qu Lianyang's elopement with Lin Jingxu, they have made a clear relationship with the Qu family and the Lin family.
If the Queen Mother looks on coldly, then she can't complain about the Queen Mother's indifference, and the mistakes she made should be borne by herself. Because the Queen Mother helped, and more than once!
This sentiment, whether it is the Jinling royal family today, or the Lin family of Antaibo Mansion in Bian'an City, must be remembered in the five.
After the Queen Mother's secret was finished, Lin Ruo bent down and took two steps back, knelt down in front of the bed again, and solemnly made a big bow to the Queen Mother to thank the Queen Mother for her kindness.
Although Lin Ruo didn't say anything, the Queen Mother showed a relieved smile.
Lin Ruo is a smart child, a filial child, and a child who knows how to repay his kindness. Therefore, these arrangements can make Lin Ruo abide by the oath she made with all her heart.
In this way, she can also walk with peace of mind.
The queen mother's face was already tired, she looked at Lin Ruo and Qu Xiaoxiang, and finally said, "You two sisters should support each other, don't have a gap", and sent the two out.
When he walked out of the dormitory, Lin Ruo's hands were still a little shaky, I don't know if it was because he was too excited or because he was too sad.
Qu Xiaoxiang hesitated slightly, stretched out his hand, and held Lin Ruo's hand.
Lin Ruo turned his head to look at Qu Xiaoxiang, pursed his lips, and then shook Qu Xiaoxiang's hand back. As the queen mother said, they all have the blood of the Qu family, and in the generation of the Qu family, except for the two of them, the other women are all royal princesses.
The daughters of the Qu family are not simple characters.
Counting up two generations, there was a powerful queen mother, of course, as the queen mother said, Lin Ruo's maternal grandmother Qu Lianyang is also very human; In the previous generation, there was Mrs. Xuanlu and Lin Yuan'er, the lord of Pingrong County, and his glorious deeds needless to say; In this generation, it is the two sisters of them.
The men of the Qu family are going to fight on the battlefield, defend the country, and kill the enemy to make meritorious contributions. And the daughter of the Qu family must solve their worries for them, and not let them be burdened by the high achievements and military power.
stepped out of the queen mother's bedroom, and every step after that, the two of them needed to go hand in hand.
Murong Chong looked at Lin Ruo, who knelt beside him again, and felt that she was a little different, as if she had become more resolute, and so was Qu Xiaoxiang who was diagonally behind. It's just that in the resolute eyes of the two, Yingying's tears have not completely faded.
According to the instructions of the queen mother, people came in and out one after another, listening to the queen mother's deathbed instructions, but no one spent more time than Lin Ruo and Qu Xiaoxiang stayed inside.
It took about an hour before it finally calmed down.
The last person left in it was the emperor.
Moreover, there is only the emperor.
The queen and all the concubines were waiting outside, and they were not allowed to enter it.
Perhaps, only at this time, the Empress Dowager felt like a mother of an ordinary family, and the emperor did not feel that he was alone, but an ordinary son, without anyone to disturb him, and said goodbye to his mother on her deathbed.
I don't know how long I knelt down, and suddenly there was a mournful cry from Emperor Mingzong. The sound of "Queen Mother" was overwhelmed with grief when I heard it. After a while, the chamberlain trotted out, knelt at the door, and with a crying voice, he said hoarsely in his loudest voice: "The Queen Mother, it's over!" ”
This sentence seemed to suddenly unravel the ban, and the cry in the Zhaoming Hall broke out in an instant.
Lin Ruo closed his eyes with a pale face, his straight back collapsed in an instant, leaning on Murong Chong's shoulder, and letting the tears flow.
"Knock-knock-"
The death knell began to ring, swinging one by one.
Twenty-seven mourning sounds, conveying the news of the death of the queen mother of Donglu to the people in the capital, and the whole city mourned.
After a long time after the mourning was gone, Emperor Mingzong in the dormitory let people pass the decree, allowing everyone to enter the palace and send off the queen mother for the last time.
In the Antaibo Mansion, Lin Qian, who was lying on the bed to recuperate, was suddenly awakened by the long bell, put on a coat, got up, and faced the direction of the palace. When the mourning sound calmed down, he knelt down in the direction of the palace, kowtowed three times, and muttered, "Auntie, go all the way......"
Then he slowly stood up, lay back on the bed, and stared at the top of the bed with his eyes open for a moment.
The death of the queen mother, for him, seemed to be more relieved than sad, as if a big stone pressed on his heart had finally been removed, and the trembling and suffocation that had accompanied him for more than ten years finally disappeared.
However, he couldn't sleep.
I don't know how long it took, when Yun Niang came in to see him, after Yun Niang's reminder, he found that he was already in tears, maybe he was still sad about the death of the Queen Mother.
None of that matters, though.
