Witch Gu (1)
Chapter 129: Witch Gu (1)
When she returned from Gong Zhengsi, Shen Wan only felt exhausted, and she didn't say a word when she returned to the palace.
The drum had just struck Yin, and it would be dawn soon, but Shen Wan didn't feel sleepy, just opened her eyes and let the palace people take off her outer robe, and unloaded her jewelry and other things, and after washing, she was invited into the inner room to rest.
Xichen changed into a robe and pulled her to bed, and said softly: "It's almost dawn, you can rest for a long time, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
His face was also solemn, and after hearing what Xia Guiren said, his arms hugged him strongly. Subconsciously, he was also worried, worried that something would really make Shen Wan leave him.
Shen Wan turned around, wrapped her arms around Xichen's waist, and buried her face in his arms. After being silent for a long time, he said, "You think I'm going to use the painting to get rid of Concubine Qing, right?" ”
Xichen didn't speak, and hugged her tightly.
She added: "I won't, at the beginning, Sister Xianya and the three of them were so good with me, but now, only the painting is left, and I won't let her get into danger." The reason why she made such a gesture was just to force Concubine Qing to make the first move. Who knows, Luo Xia will take all the blame on herself! ”
Xichen patted her on the back and said, "I believe you, you won't frame Huazhi, but ...... Concubine Qing, she can't move for the time being. ”
Shen Wan smiled coldly and asked, "Is it because of her father and brother?" ”
Sorry for the dust, Shen Wan was even more clear in her heart, with a thin sneer on her lips, she said sadly: "It's a pity! Although I have a good father and brother, he can no longer protect me. ”
Xichen's hand froze, Shen Wan turned around, turned her back to him, held his hand and said softly: "I'll wait, one day, their family will be the same as our Shen family, and the family will be ruined!" ”
Closed his eyes fiercely, only to hear the emperor behind him sighing, and his heart was silently dripping blood, what kind of love can't compare to the way of the emperor!
It didn't take long for dawn to be silent, Xichen got up gently to go to the court, Shen Wan closed her eyes, pretending not to wake up. After a slight sound of clothes swishing, Shen Wan opened her eyes and only saw layers of curtains, without the slightest sound.
He lay quietly for a while, and then got up.
Today, I still have to say hello to the Queen Mother as usual, although she still refuses to meet. Then when the concubine asked for peace, read out the guilt of the noble Xia and rehabilitate the painting.
Tired to do in front of the dressing mirror, looking at her haggard appearance in the mirror, Chun'er worriedly powdered herself, trying to make herself look less tired. Although Shen Wan has never loved these rouge gouaches, they do have some effects. After the service was done, it really returned to its former brilliance, but the faint sadness in his eyes still couldn't be hidden.
After using a few mouthfuls of japonica rice porridge at will, I lost my appetite anymore, cleaned up, and went to Shou'an Palace as usual to say goodbye.
Shen Wan thought that she would still eat the queen mother's closed door soup this time, but she didn't want the gate of Shou'an Palace to be open, so the palace maid invited her in.
She was slightly stunned, thinking to herself that the Queen Mother had changed her mind and was willing to admit that she was the queen?
As the palace maid entered the hall and waited in the main hall, the palace maid told the queen mother that she had not yet gotten up, and Shen Wan waited quietly. After the palace maid served tea, she disappeared, and the entire hall was empty and silent.
Cui Shanggong stood behind Shen Wan, Chun'er and Xiangming stood on both sides, and for some reason, the three of them at this time were faintly worried at the same time.
Although the Queen Mother invited the queen to come in, she did not summon her, but she was so sloppy, it was clearly not like a show of goodwill, but like a demonstration.
After about a cup of tea, I saw the Queen Mother come out with the support of several palace maids, and Shen Wan hurriedly got up to greet her. Reach out and wait for support.
The Queen Mother glanced at her obliquely, did not look at her outstretched hand, snorted coldly, turned her face away, and still let the palace maid help her sit on the soft couch.
Shen Wan was slightly embarrassed, but she still forcibly put her hand down and said softly: "How does the queen mother feel today?" ”
The queen mother suddenly coughed violently, Shen Wan frowned slightly and took a step back, and the palace maid hurriedly took a towel and handed it forward. The Queen Mother covered her mouth with a towel and coughed violently.
The Queen Mother is only in her forties this year, there is no reason to be so old, looking at it like that, she is obviously proud, looking at her appearance, she thinks she is in her thirties, and she still has charm. What's more, she has always been in good health, how could she become a queen and suddenly become so "sick"?
Looking at her face carefully, it was fair and ruddy, and there was no sickness at all!
Shen Wan knew it in her heart, but she put on a concerned look to inquire, and said in her heart that she was the queen mother, and she always had to give herself a little thin face for the queen! Otherwise, it would be too undignified to be the queen mother!
It's a pity that the Queen Mother didn't appreciate it, glared at her, and said coldly: "Of course you don't want the mourning family's health to get better!" You wish your family had died early, so you can be satisfied! ”
Shen Wan was furious in her heart, is this still what she said as an elder!
But I had to kneel down and say in fear: "What does the queen mother mean by this, the concubine doesn't know." ”
The Queen Mother pointed at her and scolded: "Will you not know? What dirty things did you do in your own palace that you thought the mourning family didn't know? ”
Shen Wan lowered her head and said, "The concubine really doesn't know!" ”
"I don't know? You can deceive others, but you can't deceive the mourning family! Did you execute the noble man last night? She is such a good child, she has just been killed and has no child, you don't say to help her find the murderer, but you poisoned her to death, you say, what kind of heart do you have! ”
The panic on Shen Wan's face disappeared suddenly, and she changed her usual indifferent face, raised her head to look at the Queen Mother and asked: "The news of the Queen Mother is really fast, and the palace has not yet announced this matter to the harem, and the Queen Mother has been here." However, what the Queen Mother knows is not the truth! ”
The Queen Mother said angrily: "What kind of attitude are you using to talk to the mourning family!" What a big unfilial pie! ”
Shen Wan smiled faintly and said: "The concubine wants to honor the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother doesn't appreciate it, and the concubine can't always be so hot-faced, but in exchange for the Queen Mother's cold words!" ”
"You ......," the Queen Mother pointed at her for a moment.
Shen Wan said coldly: "Luo Xia is not pregnant at all, but she deceived the monarch and framed Pang Xiaoyi, and the palace has found out the truth with the emperor." I wanted to open the net, but unfortunately she was bent on death, and I don't know who she was defending! Queen Mother, since you are so well-informed, why don't you point out one or two concubines, how about it? ”
This is the main hall of Shou'an Palace, except for Shen Wan and her confidants, as well as the Queen Mother and her palace people, there is no one else.
There are no dozens of pairs of eyes in the harem staring, and there is no leisurely crowd talking, why should she wronged herself and pretended to be virtuous!
Originally, she wanted to be a filial daughter-in-law, and came here every day to greet and serve. However, her mother-in-law didn't appreciate it, and since this was the case, don't blame herself for tearing her face!
She wasn't a grovel person in the first place!
What's more, against a hateful enemy who kills his own flesh and blood!
