388 Contradictions

Qingying hurriedly nodded and said, "That's for sure, I tell you, I'm taking care of her as my own relatives now, can I not be careful?" ”

Xie Chuyao smiled at her and nodded, then turned around and left.

When she came to the emperor's Longhua Palace, there were guards guarding the door, she explained her intention, and the guards asked her to wait for a while, and then went in to report.

After a while, the guards came out and welcomed her in.

When she came to the main hall of Longhua Palace, she saw that Shang Jingcheng was also there, she couldn't help but look at him with some surprise, it seems that their father and son have something to discuss, so did they come over and disturb them?

"The emperor is auspicious, and the five princes are healthy." Xie Chuyao made a palace salute.

The emperor smiled at her and said, "Yao'er is here, come on, come and sit down." As he spoke, he pointed to the Taishi chair below.

Xie Chuyao glanced at Shang Jingcheng who was standing aside, and just as he was also looking at her, he smiled at him, and then walked over and sat down.

"Cheng'er, did you come to find your father?" These two people came one after the other, but I don't know if they came to find themselves for the same thing.

Shang Jingcheng first glanced at Xie Chuyao, then clasped his fists at the emperor and said, "Father, the son came to you to discuss with you the marriage between me and Yao'er." ”

Now that the marriage has been delayed, he has to consult with him about when to renew the wedding.

Xie Chuyao raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Shang Jingcheng, then looked at the emperor, and then lowered her head slightly, she felt that she was a little embarrassed here at the moment, but now she couldn't help but look too childish if she left, so she sat there a little uncomfortably and didn't speak.

The emperor leaned back in his chair slightly, glanced at Xie Chuyao, and then asked, "What does Cheng'er mean?" In fact, he has also thought about this matter in the past few days, Yao'er is their royal concubine, and it must be the sooner she marries back, the better, but now there is a question of what time to choose.

Shang Jingcheng also knew the emperor's concerns, he saluted him and said: "Father, the son knows that the death of the mother concubine is a big blow to you, and he also knows that as a son, he must be filial to her, so the son is to ask his father what the emperor's opinion is." According to him, he thought that the sooner the better, but it was not appropriate to have a happy event now, and he would have to wait even if he thought about marrying her home.

The emperor pondered for a moment, looked at Xie Chuyao and asked, "What about Yao'er's opinion?" ”

"It's all up to the emperor." She said very generously and decently.

The emperor nodded and said, "In this way, after this matter retires from the court tomorrow morning, I will discuss it with your father, this matter has to be handled well, and it is not right to leave it like this." ”

Shang Jingcheng saw him say this, and didn't say anything more, and after saluting him, he came to Xie Chuyao's side, looked at her and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Xie Chuyao smiled at him and said, "Just come over and see how the emperor's condition is." With that, she stood up, came to the emperor and asked, "Has the emperor felt better these days?" ”

The emperor sighed and said, "This body is like this, it's the same, and it can't be talked about whether it's good or not, so be it." As he spoke, he coughed lightly.

She saw that his complexion was a little better than a few days ago, and it seemed that he was gradually coming out of his sadness, "Your Majesty, I'll take your pulse." With that, he motioned for him to stretch out his hand.

Shang Jingcheng came to her side and watched the emperor's every move with concern. It was his father, and he must have been concerned about his physical condition, but he leaned over like this, causing her heart to beat involuntarily and quickly.

She gathered her mind and took the emperor's pulse seriously, well, it seems that the emperor's condition is not a big problem, but due to excessive sadness, his body still feels unable to exert his strength, and the most important thing is that he has not yet come out.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with your body, but you have to see it yourself for this heart disease, Concubine Qing also wants you to live well in the sky." Xie Chuyao comforted softly.

As soon as the emperor heard Concubine Qing's name, his face became sad again, and he tried to suppress the pain in his heart and said: "I just regret that I didn't protect her well at the beginning, and my whole mind was on state affairs, and I ignored her, so that those who have a heart can succeed." "He was not a good husband, he could not even protect the woman he loved the most, and he had spent it in remorse since her death.

Shang Jingcheng saw him like this, and glanced away slightly, in fact, deep in his heart, he also complained about him, if he could protect his mother and concubine at the beginning, she would not have been poisoned, and he would not have been allowed to go through those hardships since he was a child.

Xie Chuyao saw that his expression was wrong, and she had a slight understanding in her heart, so she looked at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the queen mother was indeed wrong at the beginning, but over the years, she has also been dedicated to kindness, and she is also close to Shang Jingcheng, I think you should go and see her." ”

The emperor didn't expect that she was actually a lobbyist for the empress, and he couldn't help but say a little angrily: "She asked you to come?" ”

"No, it's not, I came by myself." It seems that the emperor doesn't know about the queen's situation, and yes, now that all the people in the palace are newly recruited into the palace, naturally they will not mention the queen's affairs to him, and if he has the heart not to pay attention, there will definitely not be a word in his ears.

The emperor's face softened, but he was silent and did not speak.

Shang Jingcheng glanced at the emperor, pulled Xie Chuyao into her ear and said, "Don't mention this matter yet." ”

But Xie Chuyao continued: "Your Majesty, have you ever been concerned about the recent situation of the queen's mother? She's crazy, you know? ”

"She's crazy, she's crazy!" The emperor slapped the table and glared at her, and the angry expression made her shrink back, but her eyes were determined.

"Yes, she did something wrong in the matter of Concubine Qing, but over the years, she has also been wholeheartedly devoted to you and Shang Jingcheng, Your Majesty, she is now like a child's mind, no one can recognize it, maybe you will feel that this is her retribution, but Your Majesty, why can't you go and see her? Do you still want Concubine Qing's matter to happen to her again, and you will regret it again? Her voice was also very loud, and she was just a little excited. After saying that, she turned around and left directly, she said this, he didn't listen to him, anyway, she was not happy if she didn't say it.

Shang Jingcheng hurriedly chased after him, he rarely saw this woman look like this today, which couldn't help but remind him of her stubbornness when the two of them were in distress, and his woman always had her own insistence.

The emperor looked at their backs, his heart was full of grief and contradictions, and his mind couldn't help but think of the bits and pieces of his relationship with the queen over the years.

However, just like the Holy Hand Danlang said, Concubine Qing's death is inseparable from her, if she could have told him earlier that those people had poisoned the woman he loved, then he would have saved her even if he searched for famous doctors all over the world.

Back then, Concubine Qing begged her to treat her well before she died, so over the years, he has been very attentive to her, but the matter of Concubine Qing has always been in his heart, and now let him let go, he can't do it all of a sudden.

Shang Jingcheng caught up with Xie Chuyao, grabbed her hand and said, "What are you running like this girl!" If he hadn't grabbed her in time, he wouldn't have hit the pillar.

Xie Chuyao broke away from his hand, glanced at him coldly and asked, "Do you also think that the queen deserves to be crazy?" Shouldn't she die of old age? ”

"What's wrong with you? It has nothing to do with me, the queen, it's just my father, you shouldn't have said that about him just now. Shang Jingcheng took her hand again and said.

Xie Chuyao looked at him and asked, "Then what should I say?" Have you ever been to see the Queen? Do you know what she's like right now? She was imprisoned in her own thoughts, she couldn't get out, no one helped her, she became crazy, like a child, have you ever seen a queen like this? "All along, she will not forget the queen's kindness to her, for her, the queen is the most gentle and graceful, and she is the one who hurts her like a daughter, so she doesn't think that such a woman will be hateful. Her mistake was that she shouldn't have affection for an emperor.

"But what about my mother? Yao'er, that is my mother's concubine, even if more than 20 years have passed since this incident, it can't erase the sins on her, she is an executioner! Shang Jingcheng's expression also became cold, these days, he has been avoiding the queen's questions, because he doesn't want to show a little bit of reproach to the queen in front of her, because he knows that the queen is good to her, and he can't bear to say bad things about her in front of her.

Xie Chuyao looked at him with some shock, it turned out that he hated the queen so deeply in his heart, no wonder he didn't mention the queen these days, he used to call the queen mother, but now he is directly called the queen, she thought that he just couldn't let go of the knot in his heart for the time being, but she didn't want it to be a deep hatred.

"You hate her!" She muttered.

"Yes, I hate her, if it weren't for her, my mother would still be alive, if it weren't for her, my mother wouldn't have been made into a puppet!" Shang Jingcheng's mouth spat out vicious words.

Xie Chuyao hugged him, she leaned into his arms, and murmured: "No, this is not what you are talking about, Shang Jingcheng, think about how good she has been to you over the years, she is also like a son to you!" ”

"Heh, as a son, if I hadn't fallen into my father's eyes later, I'm afraid she wouldn't even look at me, you know? At first, she ignored me and ignored me. Shang Jingcheng pushed her away and strode away.

Xie Chuyao sat on the ground, looking at his back as he walked away, sad and drowning her like a flood. Could it really be that she was wrong?
