Chapter Twenty-Nine: Memories of Killing (16) [The Queen Mother]

Yu Xinling dragged Ruan Shiwan to get up and walk towards the Autumn Palace, "Let it go...... Let go, you want to murder your brother. Ruan Shiwan shouted loudly, which made the palace people who were doing chores in the garden laugh.

"Less nonsense."

No one noticed that under the bamboo forest in the garden, the queen shook a light fan, smiling heartily, she turned back to the lotus dance who was waiting for her and said, "Look at these children, they will be lively as soon as they come back." ”

Lian Wu also covered her mouth and smiled, "In this palace, it is clear that the princess is the most capable of making trouble." ”

The queen slapped her lightly with a fan, "Nonsense, it's obvious that Shi Wan is the most disagreeable." ”

Lian Wu was happy, "Niangniang also said that the third prince is just curious, didn't you also secretly come to see it?" ”

The queen shook her fan and sighed, "But I haven't seen anything in this palace~" After a pause, she said again, "But I can see Zhaoran cleaning up the third child, and this palace is also satisfied, this dead boy ......"

Lian Wu knew that she remembered Ruan Shiwan's marriage again, "The third prince is a measured person, so why should Niangniang?" ”

"Hmph," the queen snorted, "Not to mention that Liu Qingjiu is three years older than Shi Wan, this woman is usually married when she is married, how can a girl stay up to the age of twenty-one for no reason and not marry?" and took away the cabbage that had been raised in the palace for 18 years for no reason......"

"Niangniang, didn't you say that as long as the third prince likes it, it's fine?"

"How did Bengong know that he would like this kind of ......" The more the queen spoke, the more angry she became, and there was a slight anger on her outstanding face, "You said that she wanted to marry Shi Wan, but she didn't get married yet, so she went with Shi Wan...... What does this make the people think? How can Shi Wan's reputation be good? ”

After a pause, she said, "I originally thought that she would come back with Shi Wan this time, and if this palace felt that it would be enough, this palace would go with them, but I never expected that this dead girl would not come to see this palace after arching away the cabbage of this palace...... Just trying to be the daughter-in-law of this palace? It's just delusional. ”

"Yes, yes, Niang Niang, this is a good cabbage, it is not uncommon for pigs to arch."

"Shi Mu is also a good cabbage in this palace, you see how worry-free Shi Mu is."

"Yes, the county lord of Fu is as good as His Royal Highness the Prince, and now he is away from the county lord and Lu Shang for a while, can the mother go back and save something to give to the county lord when the time comes?"

"This time I have to discuss it with the emperor, and I am not in a hurry." The queen shook her fan, as if she was a little embarrassed, and suddenly, she said, "Oh, there are mosquitoes biting me here, run." ”

Lian Wu followed behind her, but she couldn't help but laugh......

Next.

Yu Xinling has always been a late riser, and the palace people know that she has a big temper when she gets up, and she never dares to speak out when she doesn't get up on weekdays. But today is different, some chaotic voices came around, and Yu Xinling became angry, "Someone." ”

The palace maid at the door ran in, accidentally hooked the threshold and fell, and hurriedly crawled over, even though she knew that it was the wake up of Yu Xinling that caused her to lose her temper, the palace maid still asked, "The slave is here, does the princess have any orders?" ”

"When?"

"Back to the princess, there is half an hour before the birthday."

"And what are you arguing about in the morning?"

"It's because ......"

Before the palace maid's words were finished, she was interrupted by a bell, Yu Xinling listened stunned for a while, and muttered, "Death knell? ”

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, just now there are palace people to report, the Queen Mother, it's gone." The palace maid lowered her head and cautiously said, "Now the harem is noisy because they are all taking care of the palace. ”

Yu Xinling only felt as if her heart had been stabbed, and it hurt very much, she got up, "Wait for the palace to change clothes, the palace is going to see the imperial grandmother." ”

Seeing that she didn't lose her temper, the palace people hurriedly got up, "Yes." ”

Yu Xinling numbly ignored all the white silk all the way, and hurried to Fengning Palace, before entering the queen mother's bedroom, she heard the sobbing voices of the ladies of the palace, and was about to enter the dormitory, but happened to meet Ruan Cuo who came out of the dormitory.

"Father-" she cried out weakly, as if begging.

Ruan Cuo looked at her stunned for a moment, and stroked her head, "Go in, go and see your imperial grandmother." ”

Yu Xinling only felt that her mind was blank, "This ...... Is it all true? ”

Ruan Cuo watched her slowly walk in step by step with some distress, and only sighed in his heart, this child, Su Rili has always had a claim, but he has never seen her so depressed, think about it, maybe she is really willing to integrate into the palace. Big brother, it's been five years, and your daughter is about to die, why are you so ruthless that you don't want to come to see her? Is it really just because her soul is weak and needs to be raised?

Ruan Cuo suddenly remembered that when Yu Xinling was nine years old, he was suddenly assassinated at night, lost several Han guards, and almost died, and when he arrived, such a small child stood at the door of his dormitory, looking at him quietly, and suddenly in a flash of panic, he ran over and pulled Ruan Cuo to squat down and cover his eyes, "Father-in-law, don't look at it, it's dirty here, it's not good-looking." "The next day, this kid actually wants to make an appointment with him for three chapters, no matter how many assassins come to the Qiuxing Palace, how fierce the fighting is, no one, including Ruan Cuo, will come to the rescue and check, she promises not to harm the palaces......

Yu Xinling crossed the palace ladies who were kneeling in front of the Queen Mother's bed, walked over step by step and sat on the edge of the Queen Mother's bed, gently pulled up the Queen Mother's hand on her abdomen and stroked it on her face, feeling the cool corpse temperature in a daze, and muttered, "Didn't you say, let me accompany you again today?" Grandma lied. ”

The queen stood up, put her arms on Yu Xinling's shoulders sadly, and comforted, "Good boy, don't blame your grandmother, she also wants to accompany you." ”

Yu Xinling raised her eyes to look at the queen, "Stepmother......" She looked at the queen pitifully, "The eyes are uncomfortable, and the eye sockets are also uncomfortable, but obviously there is nothing......"

The queen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "If you want to cry, cry girl, my stepmother knows that you feel uncomfortable." ”

Yu Xinling only felt suffocation one after another in her heart, pain and depression, but she couldn't cry, she lowered her eyes, her eyes flashed gray and black, and when she raised her eyes again, they were black and white beautiful eyes, dressing up sadness and sorrow, but there was no tears.

The queen mother collapsed, and the country mourned for three days.

Yu Xinling followed the queen and others to keep the queen mother's spirit for seven days, but in these seven days, there were many more rumors.

It is rumored that Princess Zhaoran has no one in her eyes, and she never salutes before driving, and now it is even more rude to guard the queen mother's spirit.

It is rumored that Princess Zhaoran thinks of herself as high, even if her peers salute her, she is not even willing to use the jaw when she bows her hand, she only bows her hand straight or hugs her fist, which is really rude.

It is rumored that Princess Zhaoran was destined for evil, so she was abandoned by her family and thrown into the palace to harm all beings.

It is rumored that Princess Zhaoran used the autumn moon to strangle the queen mother, so the queen mother collapsed, not only did she not cry sadly, but she didn't even bother to kneel when she kept the spirit, which shows that she was ruthless.

Rumor......

Yu Xinling stayed alone in the mourning hall, sitting by the coffin calmly, quietly guarding the Queen Mother, ignoring the rumors outside, Ruan Shimu walked from outside with Xie Zhiyu, and after giving incense to the Queen Mother, Xie Zhiyu ran to Yu Xinling, shook her, and said anxiously, "Ling'er, Ling'er." ”

After a while, Yu Xinling came to her senses, looked at her and smiled blankly, "Eucalyptus is here, go and put incense on grandma." ”

"Okay Ling'er, don't be like this, you cry," Xie Zhiyu stroked her face distressedly, "Is it okay?" Cry out, cry out and don't feel bad. ”

"Eucalyptus," Yu Xinling's voice was clearly crying, but there was no tear in her eyes, "My eyes are so uncomfortable, and my eye sockets are so uncomfortable, but I, I just can't cry......" She put her eyes on the wall in pain, "I want to cry too......"

"Don't embarrass yourself, don't cry if you can't cry, who said you have to cry?" Ruan Shiwan didn't know when he was behind Yu Xinling, "You just have to follow your temperament, whoever dares to spread rumors about you, my brother will take him to the frontier as a firehead." ”

"Third brother?" Yu Xinling looked back at him, and suddenly hugged him and buried him in his arms, "Third brother...... They all said that my autumn moon hurt my grandmotherβ€”"

Ruan Shiwan patted her on the back and coaxed, "Listen to their nonsense, fortunately there is Ling'er's soup, the imperial doctor said clearly a while ago that grandma can't stand last day, but grandma drank your soup to survive until this morning." ”

After a pause, he added, "Look at you, how powerful, let grandma finish this morning's breakfast before leaving with peace of mind, grandma likes to watch the dawn at the end of the day, you see, if it weren't for you, she might not be able to see it." ”

Yu Xinling looked up stunned, "Really?" ”

"Yes, thanks to Ling'er, Aunt Song said that the imperial grandmother left this morning after smiling and watching the dawn, she walked so safely, if Ling'er blamed herself, the imperial grandmother might be sad." Ruan Shimu comforted the hairpin on her hair while fixing it, "So, you have to cheer up and grow up according to your temperament, so that the imperial grandmother can feel at ease in the spirit of the sky." ”

"In the heavenly spirits?" Yu Xinling muttered quietly, her little hand clenched Ruan Shiwan's sleeve, thinking a little distractedly.

Afraid that she still remembered the gossip outside in her heart, Xie Zhiyu also joined the camp and comforted her carefully.

The queen walked into the mourning hall, and what she saw was the scene of a few of them carefully comforting and coaxing Yu Xinling, and couldn't help but smile with relief, she has been suppressing the rumors in the past few days, while carefully finding the source of the rumors, she is so busy that she is afraid of suffering the child, and now come and see, fortunately, these girls and boys are fine, so she can not worry too much about this. But after all, Yu Xinling is still a child, so how can she not pay attention to those rumors......

As if sighing, the queen walked over and said softly, "Today is the sixth day, and tomorrow the queen mother will be sent to Anguo Temple. ”

"Stepmother-" Yu Xinling was still holding Ruan Shiwan's sleeve and probed, "I want to guard the mausoleum for the imperial grandmother for a year." ”

"You girl," the queen obviously disagreed, "the days of guarding the mausoleum are miserable, and there are female sisters-in-law who chant for the queen mother every day... Where do you need to go? ”

The female sister-in-law, that is, the woman who is responsible for guarding the mausoleum in the temple, although she does not abstain from meat, her essence is no different from that of a real nun...... Most of these women were poor people who could not afford to live on their own after being widowed, so they came to the temple to seek a way to survive.
