Chapter 73: The Edict Is Here
Immediately afterwards, Zhixun, who was guarding the door, came in to report with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, the queen daughter is forcing the palace and is coming with people to fight." ”
"Forcing the palace?!" I exclaimed.
When the Empress heard this, she suddenly reached out and touched my chest: "The edict is here." ”
"What?!" Confused, I felt hollow.
Heart?
The edict in my heart?
What does that mean?
But I saw the mother unscrew the mechanism on the edge of the bed, quickly open a dark compartment, and then said: "You hide in it, no matter what you hear, don't make a sound!" ”
I was pushed by the Mother and hid in the shadows.
The dark compartment was a space dug out under the bed, so small that I could only curl up and lie in it.
After the bedding was covered, even the faint light in the gap could not be seen.
I couldn't move, and the sounds outside were a little blurry.
The Mother: "Zhijing, dress up for me!" ”
Zhixun: "Yes. ”
The sound of messy footsteps came, followed by the wanton laughter of the imperial sister.
The mother queen sat on the bed and shouted: "Presumptuous! ”
"Presumptuous? Yes, you are indeed still Her Majesty the Empress......" The imperial sister said in a mocking tone, enchantingly, "Your Majesty, the retainer has invited you to come." ”
Mother: "Please?" I think it's forcing the palace. ”
Imperial Sister: "Heh, since you already know, then we don't bother to speak." I heard that after the repeal of the edict, you wrote a new edict, where is that edict now? ”
Mother: "You can't find it. ”
"Also, it's hard to find a place to hide. The old one, the nurse has been looking for many years, and finally guessed your mind through the clues. ”
Thinking of this, the mother emperor shouted angrily: "You actually dug Xuan Ming's grave!" ”
"Who told you to hide the edict in a dead man's grave?"
When I heard this, I was shocked.
Xuanming, this is my father.
The Luan Dynasty was an era of respect for women, and women naturally needed a long time to conceive children. As a result, this makes the empress's harem system very different from when a man is in charge.
Here, the mother emperor can have many men, but these men are not ranked. Even if any of them let her give birth to a princess, it would only be a reward to ensure that she would not have to work and have no worries about food and clothing.
And we, the princess, don't have many opportunities to see our father in our lives.
However, now that they have access to the most powerful people in the country, most of their wishes are fulfilled. It is not difficult to ask for an official and a half-knight, and even some people are used to idle clouds and wild cranes, and after being chased by the mother emperor, they insist on returning to the mountains and forests.
My father, Xuan Ming, is such an existence.
After he and his mother gave birth to me, he took the money given by his mother and built a hut on the mountain in the south, and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, not asking about the world. But eight years ago, he was bitten by a poisonous insect in the forest, and he died before he could be cured.
I didn't expect that the mother emperor would put the old edict in his grave.
Does the Queen like him very much......
However, how could she bear to release the person she liked from the palace?
If you lived in the palace, wouldn't you have died so early?
The imperial sister's words brought back my thoughts, and she said in a bad tone, and said resentfully: "I don't care where the old one is, but the new one, you won't have time to put it in his grave anyway." You're glad I didn't let people dig a second time. ”
The Empress was calm: "You will never find it." ”
Never find it?
What about me? Can I find it?
But what does the mother emperor mean, the edict is in my heart?
