Chapter 707: Uncovering the Scars
707
Just in the dog days, the sound of cicadas chirping one after another is annoying.
Yu Shan walked all the way, and she was sweating on her head, but as soon as she entered Fengyi Palace, she suddenly felt extremely cold.
"No wonder people say that in this harem, the holy favor is the sun, and the place where the person who has fallen out of favor lives really gives people a feeling of not seeing the sun." Yu Shan looked at the sycamore trees in the courtyard and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity for these sycamores." ”
After taking a few steps forward, I saw Bai Lu sitting on the steps in front of the hall, looking depressed, as if he was twenty years old.
The emperor did not execute anyone around the queen, including him, of course.
It's just that these people who serve the queen are all locked up in Fengyi Palace, and they are not allowed to take half a step out of the palace gate.
They could only collect some leftovers from the square opening in the door every day, and then spend their days in this cage.
Bai Lu knew that this was because the days were still shallow, and most of the people were depressed and melancholy, and when the time was longer, someone would definitely go crazy or even commit suicide.
Yu Shan's arrival surprised him very much, because the emperor did not allow anyone to visit the queen, more precisely, the queen of the abolition.
"Miss Yu, why are you here?" Bai Lu stood up in a hurry, his clothes had not been changed since the day the queen was abolished, they were wrinkled and stained, how could he still have half of the dignity of the former head of Fengyi Palace.
"Father-in-law Bai, I'm just going to take a look." Yu Shan smiled: "You sit down!" ”
Yu Shan followed by two tall eunuchs who walked over and pressed Bai Lu's shoulders one left and one right, really letting him sit back down.
Yu Shan moved the lotus step lightly and walked up the steps, and the attendant hurriedly lifted the curtain. The Hunan bamboo curtain of the golden silk vine was covered with dust, and she choked a few times.
The furnishings in the room are still the same as before, but no matter how you look at it, there are a few pieces of broken porcelain in the corner, which should be scattered there after smashing the teacup.
The palace people were lazy, and they didn't clean up.
The queen was only wearing a middle coat and her hair was scattered, and when she heard movement, she had already looked at the door.
His hair has turned gray and his skin has lost its luster.
"Why are you here?" When the queen saw Yu Shan, her eyes suddenly lit up, like a few sparks popping out of the ashes: "What good way have you thought of?" ”
Until now, after the abolition, I still feel that the reason why the assassination of Zeng Lifei failed was because of the ineffective actions of those secret guards, and Zeng Lifei's luck was really good.
She didn't even suspect Yu Shan at all, or didn't want to doubt it.
"I'll call you a mother," and when the maid wiped the chair clean and retreated, Yu Shan sat down slowly and said, "Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to speak." ”
"How is the prince now?" After the abolition, he was most worried about his son, and when he saw Yu Shan, he didn't care about asking anything else.
"The prince is very sick now," Yu Shan said bluntly, "I have been bedridden for a long time." ”
After hearing this, her heart was like a knife, and her hands covered her chest, but there were no tears. She's crying so much these days that her tears have dried up.
Neither of them spoke, and a long time passed like this.
"The emperor asked you to come?" After the abolition, she restrained her emotions and asked a little puzzled: "Didn't he say that no one was allowed to see me?" ”
"It's not the emperor," Yu Shan shook her head: "It's the imperial concubine." ”
"She ......" frowned, "What does she want you to do?" Do you know my relationship with you? ”
"Mother, it really makes me sad when you say that." Yu Shan's face showed a bit of compassion: "It's really hard for you to believe in me all the time." ”
"It's true that I'm not a smart person, but I don't need to be suspicious, and I don't need to be suspicious." The queen sighed, "You helped me after all." ”
"That's why I'm only here today," Yu Shan said, "I have to let my mother know how stupid she really is." ”
"What do you mean by that?" After the abolition, she finally noticed the ridicule in Yu Shan's tone: "Could it be that you came to see the joke?" ”
"I've actually seen enough of your jokes," Yu Shan smiled: "Today I'm here to tell you the truth, after all, some things are hidden from you forever, and some are too unscrupulous." ”
The queen stared at Yu Shan without saying a word, and her whole body trembled as if she was cold.
"I'll tell you the truth, I'm the imperial concubine." Yu Shan was the first to blow the queen and completely sent the waste queen to hell.
"I am the imperial concubine's person, and I deliberately approached you and gave you advice, all just to push you off the back seat. The position of the queen, the virtuous person lives in it, and there should be a capable person in it, you know that you are mediocre but you have been in the back position for more than 20 years, you can only say that the queen mother has been protecting you.
If you don't try to strike first, it's naturally much easier for you to be so anxious to lure you in. Letting the little palace maid sleep is just a small bait. You saw that the imperial concubine was angry, and you felt relieved of your hatred. As everyone knows, he didn't pay attention to this matter at all, and the grass on the grave of the little palace maid is about to grow now.
The subsequent compassionate order is the key to really making you believe in me, because you have been praised by the emperor for this matter, and you feel that your position is stable. Of course, they regarded me as a meritorious person, and from then on they put their hearts on me.
But you have not thought about the disadvantages of doing this, and many ministers in the court are dissatisfied with you because of this. A compassionate order has indeed stabilized many displaced people, and this cannot but be said to be a matter of merit. But when you were deposed, where were the grass people? On the contrary, many ministers in the court chose to remain silent and not speak for you. ”
"I'm really stupid, and you're really smart, and every time I use a strategy, I get some benefits and see some results. Even if there are some omissions, I think it's normal. The queen smiled bitterly and said that she had become a fish on the chopping board and could only be slaughtered: "Actually, another main reason why I choose to believe you is that you told me at the beginning that you loved the prince in your heart." I thought that even the smartest woman could become a little stupid for the sake of love, and now that I think about it, what you said must be a lie. ”
"It's true that I told a lie, but what you just said is true." Somehow, a hint of loneliness flashed on Yu Shan's face: "Until now, you are finally willing to admit that you are stupid, but unfortunately it is too late." You don't want to doubt me, and you don't want to admit that you're stupid. After all, believing in the wrong person is really not a glorious thing. And how much more because you have mistrusted me, and you have failed. The death of the second prince makes you even more anxious and hasty, and the more anxious you are, the less you will be able to distinguish carefully. The Imperial Concubine has always been jealous of the secret guards in your hands, and as long as they are not cleared for a day, they will always be a threat. ”
"Yes! This is the life talisman that the Queen Mother gave me before she died," the queen regretted: "It's a pity that I can't hold my breath." ”
