Chapter 19: The Hidden Truth

"Who's out there?" Hearing the sound, Aunt Shuwen shouted loudly and hurriedly ran to the door - she knew that if the Queen Mother's words were heard by the palace maids and eunuchs, it would be miserable!

Hurriedly stepped out of the threshold, but saw Lin Yueyao leaning against the door unwillingly, her face pale, and a thin cold sweat broke out on her smooth forehead. Seeing Aunt Shuwen, she was obviously startled again, her eyes were full of fear, and her lips trembled slightly. Mu Xue squatted on the ground and hurriedly cleaned up the debris on the ground, the brown medicinal juice slowly overflowed, and the corners of Lin Yueyao's pink skirt were also splashed with dense brown dots.

"Yao Concubine Niangniang, how could it be you?" Aunt Shu Wen asked in surprise, and her hanging heart also let go - thank God, not the palace maids and eunuchs!

"Come in, sneak around." The queen mother's weak voice came from inside the house, "In the future, you will never be allowed to hide in the dark and eavesdrop on the conversation between the mourning family and the emperor, this is not the first time!" ”

Lin Yueyao stood still, her legs trembling slightly, and she no longer had the strength to take a step. Aunt Shuwen motioned for Mu Xue to clean up the mess and retreat, and then helped Lin Yueyao into the queen mother's bedroom.

Walking to the queen mother's bed, Lin Yueyao suddenly knelt down in front of the queen mother, and tears burst out of her eyes, like big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate. Her voice trembled slightly, revealing a huge fear: "Auntie, Yao'er is wrong...... Will you spare Yao'er...... Auntie, please save Yao'er......"

The Queen Mother turned her head silently, not looking at her pear blossom with rain crying, nor at her pale little face, letting her kneel on the ground and cry and beg for mercy.

Aunt Shuwen couldn't bear to see her kneeling, and hurriedly pleaded for her: "Queen Mother, hurry up and let Concubine Yao get up, the child in her womb can't bear it." ”

The Queen Mother finally turned her head, her eyes were moist, and she said in a hoarse voice: "Get up......"

Aunt Shu Wen carefully helped Lin Yueyao up, helped her sit on the stool that Meng Hongyu had just sat on, took out the handkerchief she was carrying, and wiped away the tears on Lin Yueyao's face in distress.

"Tell me, who ordered you." The Queen Mother's tone suddenly became stern, and she looked like she knew it well, "With your mind, you can't come up with such a plan!" ”

Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, how could the Queen Mother, a veteran who has "experienced a hundred battles" in the harem, not be able to weigh Lin Yueyao's catties? Yes, Lin Yueyao is tricky and domineering, arrogant and unreasonable, and loves to play with the temper of a young lady, but she, like Liu Ruxin, is just an ignorant and harmless woman, how could she come up with such a "clever plan" to "blame" the emperor to frame Su Zirong?

"I didn't ...... No one instructed Yao'er...... It's all Yao'er's fault alone! Lin Yueyao shook her head repeatedly, the butterfly wings on her head swayed slightly, "No one instructed Yao'er...... No one instructed Yao'er to ......"

"Well, since you don't want to say it, just wait to be punished by the emperor." The Queen Mother shook her head in disappointment, sighed and said, "The emperor has already sent Lu Yao to investigate this matter, and one day, he will find out about you." ”

Lin Yueyao is still a child after all, hearing the Queen Mother say this, she was so frightened that she cried out with a "wow", and she was about to get up and kneel again, but Aunt Shuwen was busy supporting her.

"Auntie save Yao'er...... It was Daddy who instructed Yao'er...... Dad said that Sister Yu hasn't been a queen for so many years, all because of Su Zirong...... Because, the emperor loves Su Zirong......" Lin Yueyao cried and confessed her father, "woo...... This plan was also conceived by Daddy......"

"You ...... Ahem...... What are you ...... Want, want to be angry and mourn the family! Listening to Lin Yueyao's words, the Queen Mother was so angry that she almost ran out of breath, "Do you think that if you kill Concubine Rong, the problem will be solved?" You can become a queen?! ”

"Woo...... Woo woo...... Lin Yueyao shook her head vigorously and couldn't stop crying, "Yao'er did what her father said...... It's none of Yao'er'......"

"Bastard! If this matter is really as simple as your father thinks, the mourning family would have made Yu'er the queen a long time ago! Will you still be where you are now?! "The Queen Mother really wants to cry without tears - Meng Hongyu does not set up the woman of the Lin family to be the queen, not because of Su Zirong, but because she is precautionary against the Lin family!

After the Queen Mother knew that it was Lin Yueyao who killed Su Zirong, she was so angry that she couldn't afford to get sick. Now, there is such a huge secret hidden behind this incident, and the Queen Mother knows that she will no longer be able to protect the Lin family - because it was Su Zirong who killed Lin Luan and Lin Yueyao!

The Queen Mother closed her eyes weakly, and said in a tired tone: "The emperor will find out the truth sooner or later, you ...... Do it for yourself! ”

"What then? What to do? …… Auntie, you want to save Yao'er......" Lin Yueyao was confused, at a loss, and only knew how to cry blindly.

"Shu Wen, send Concubine Yao back to the room." The Queen Mother waved her hand and motioned to Aunt Shu Wen to "send" Lin Yueyao out.

At this time, the Queen Mother just wanted to be alone and quiet......

.

After Meng Hongyu came out of Cining Palace, he walked quietly on the wide palace road. The autumn breeze was slightly cool, blowing a trace of coolness in his face, and there was a faint fragrance of osmanthus in the air, and he couldn't help but think of the taste of Xiao Ziling's hair, which was somewhat similar to the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

Thinking about Xiao Ziling in his heart, his mood gradually became heavy, he knew that Xiao Zixun was framed, so he never thought of Xiao Zixun's life, however, now is really a good time to cut off the Xiao family's military power. If he hadn't thought of Xiao Ziling's bright eyes, he would have done so without hesitation!

He didn't know what he was still hesitating about, was he afraid of Xiao Ziling's sad tears and decisive words? He has already lost Su Zirong, he is really afraid, afraid that even Xiao Ziling will be lost! Perhaps, what he is worried about is that after the Xiao family weakens, the Lin family will monopolize power?

——Unconsciously walked to Yongle Palace, he was still confused, and he couldn't figure out a clue. Looking at the imperial guards standing guard at the gate of Yongle Palace, he suddenly decided to ask Xiao Ziling - ask her, what should he do with Xiao Zixun?

entered Yongle Palace, but saw Xiao Ziling sitting quietly at the table, his thin and white left hand supporting his chin, playing with the celadon teacup in his right hand, and looking at the celadon teapot on the table with fixed eyes, looking like he was wandering out of the world.

In fact, a eunuch had already come to report that the emperor was coming, but Xiao Ziling was angry and unwilling to get up to greet him - who told him to be indifferent after learning that it was the queen mother who caused Su Zirong to slip on the tire! Who told him to release his father who was as white as frost alone, but her brother was still imprisoned in prison! Who told him to trap her brother in the realm of disloyalty and injustice by such despicable means!

"Why are you so serious that you don't even know I'm coming?" Meng Hongyu quietly walked up to her side, leaned over and whispered in her ear.

"Ah......" Ziling was so "frightened" that he screamed, stood up suddenly, shook the teacup in his hand and threw it to the ground...... "crackling", the celadon teacup shattered to the ground, and Meng Hongyu was also startled......
