Chapter 229: The Queen Mother is in the Gu
When Su Yang heard this, she knew that Murong Jue felt sorry for herself, but the arrogance in her heart made her still hard-mouthed, and she shook her head and said: "The concubine doesn't think so, she only thinks that the Liu family is pitiful, and in order to avenge her sister, she doesn't even have these Xu senses." ”
When Murong Jue heard what she said, he also thought it was true, since it was the Da Liu clan who killed himself, there was nothing to be pitied.
"Ai Concubine, now that Feng Yi has entered the examination room, Ruo'er asked me for grace early in the morning and went out of the palace to send the exam, the two of them are in love. ”
Murong Jue said, took her into his arms, and kissed her forehead gently.
Su Yang's heart was a little touched, and when he raised his head slightly, he could see his deep eyes, and the corners of his eyebrows were dyed with a slight smile, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty ......"
"I always have a thought, if the court is pacified, I will travel to the ends of the world. ”
Murong Jue has grown up in the chaos of the court since he was a child, and he has never had a stable life, if there is really a time when the court is calm, if he can be a leisurely idler between the mountains and rivers, it is not bad.
But how easy is this? He has no heirs under his knees, no side branches, and no one to choose his successor, so for him, no matter what, he will be trapped in the shackles of the imperial government for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, Murong Jue couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Majesty, don't be so sad. ”
Su Yang reached out and touched his cheek and muttered softly.
"Concubine Ai is by my side, and I don't feel lonely. ”
The two of them stayed with each other for a long time, and Murong decided to leave for the time being, thinking that there were still official documents to deal with in the previous dynasty.
After this day, three or four days later, the Da Liu clan naturally didn't dare to make any more moves because of Murong Jue's reprimand, and lived a peaceful and steady life.
Su Yang also had a rare time to breathe, and arranged various positions in the Shang Palace Bureau with his own people.
After all this, it is time to visit the deceased.
Coming to the gate of Shoukang Palace, where the Queen Mother lived, Su Yang looked up at the slightly old plaque, there was no one in front of the door, but it was a little similar to when the Queen Mother Zhen first came to the capital.
It's a pity that the original Empress Dowager Zhen was still in full swing, but now she is dying, and she is full of birds.
"Imperial Princess, why is it so cold here?"
It is clearly the palace where the Queen Mother lives, but it is a little colder than the cold palace, which is very abnormal, He Yuan couldn't help but ask.
It seems that some people worship high and low, seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhen has no past scenery, and deliberately bullied her. ”
Su Yang said this, but he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart, others said that this harem was a place to eat people, he didn't believe it before, but today he saw that the Empress Dowager Zhen had fallen to this, and he finally believed it.
"That's it, no matter what, he is the emperor's biological mother, and others look down on him, yes, we can't. ”
As he was talking, Su Yang asked He Yuan to help him into the Shoukang Palace, only to see that it was now spring, but there was still a charcoal brazier in the house, which showed that the Queen Mother's body was very weak, probably not good.
"Why is the imperial concubine here? The queen mother is still resting now, do you want the slave to go in and report it?"
The palace maid who was waiting inside hurriedly walked out, and saw that the person who came turned out to be Su Yang, naturally she was a little surprised, in the past, this was a place that no one wanted to set foot in, but the imperial concubine Niangniang actually condescended to the noble, and anyone would be surprised.
"No need, since the Queen Mother is resting, there is no need to disturb, just go in and see it in the palace yourself. ”
As he spoke, Su Yang quietly walked into the back room, only to see the Empress Dowager Zhen lying on the couch, resting, and didn't seem to hear Su Yang's footsteps.
In the past, Su Yang didn't notice that this very strong woman was already drooping and old, and a few handfuls of white hair had grown on her sideburns, and there were many wrinkles on her face.
Also, now that his son is the master of this dynasty, how can she, as a mother, not grow old?
Su Yang found a place to sit down, prepared to wait for the Empress Dowager Zhen to wake up, and was greeting her, and then asked the palace maids to come up with a tea cup and take two sips gently.
But he didn't think about it, but after a while, the Empress Dowager Zhen woke up leisurely.
"Who?"
Now the Empress Dowager Zhen was a little more vigilant, and realized that there might be someone in her room, so she hurriedly asked.
Seeing that she was awake, Su Yang hurriedly stood up, stepped forward to hold her cold palm, and said with a smile: "It's me, don't you recognize me?"
"It's you, what are you doing here? I've always been lonely here, and I have nothing to entertain you when you come. ”
Now she has completely lost the former scenery, even the people who serve are also worshipping the high and low, seeing that he is down, the service is not careful, the mood is still one day, she shouted cold, asked someone to light the charcoal basin, but called for a long time, still no one answered, and then asked, others said that he was eating and drinking, and had no time to take care of it.
These Su Yang are not unheard of, so on this day, when he saw the haggard appearance of the Empress Dowager Zhen, he was also very distressed.
"It's the son-in-law who is not good, he didn't think it through, and I hope the queen mother won't blame him. ”
Su Yang said, giving He Yuan a look, He Yuan immediately retreated, went outside to find those palace maids who were serving in Shoukang Palace, and taught him a lesson.
"What does the queen mother want to eat today?" ”
I don't know if it's an illusion, today's Empress Dowager Zhen, the light in her eyes has completely disappeared, like a marionette, which makes people feel frightened when they see it, Su Yang looks at it, and always feels a little uneasy.
"What's wrong with the queen mother these days?"
"You don't have to worry about me, I'm in good health. ”
But even if the Empress Dowager Zhen said this, his eyes could never deceive people, Su Yang still felt that something was wrong, but since the Empress Dowager herself said it herself, he couldn't say anything, so he could only suppress the doubts in his heart for the time being.
"Why don't you just try the sweet and sour fish that the queen mother liked to eat before?"
Su Yang spoke tentatively.
"Okay, I've been sick for so long, and I haven't tasted this sweet and sour fish, and I'm hungry, and if I can have it, it's the best." ”
Empress Dowager Zhen said with a smile.
But just such a sentence made Su Yang see that something was wrong, the Queen Mother used to dislike eating fish the most, but whenever there is a fish Cai, he will not touch a chopstick, and now Su Yang is tempting, but he said that he likes to eat sweet and sour fish the most, isn't this revealing stuffing?
"The Queen Mother is tired, you used to hate sweet and sour fish the most, didn't you?"
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Zhen's face changed suddenly, and then she returned to her usual appearance, and said with a smile: "Oh, maybe I'm so old and confused that I forgot what I like." ”
The Queen Mother is laughing again, how can anyone forget what they like to eat. ”
