Chapter 766: Truth (2)
There was a moment of silence in the Jiaofang Palace.
Everyone thought about it, and each frowned and grimaced. Thousands of speculations swept through the bottom of my heart.
After a long time, Sheng Hong opened his mouth to break the silence: "Can the queen mother have success in her heart?" ”
In the past month, Empress Dowager Yu has been thinking a lot, and she has not slept well for a day. Hearing this, he pulled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly: "If the mourning family has a countermeasure, why should you be summoned back to Beijing?" ”
"The mourning family is old, and has not enjoyed the blessings of their sons, but now they are roasted on the fire. The emperor must be rescued, and the officials of the vassal kings and clans must also be rescued. If the mourning family can exchange so many people's lives alone, the mourning family has nothing to say. I am afraid that the traitor will not believe in his words, and the mourning family will go, which will only add another powerful hostage to the traitor's hands. ”
Empress Dowager Yu paused, and sighed again: "Sheng Hong, this matter can only be entrusted to you." No matter what you think, you have to save the emperor and the ministers. ”
No matter what you think......
This sentence is remarkable, and it is meaningful.
A thought quickly flashed through Sheng Hong's heart, and he suddenly froze, but his face did not show: "Yes." ”
Zhao Changqing, Xiao Yuhan, and Yin Xiaoxiao were silent, and Li Xiangru had already stood up and bowed deeply.
Sheng Hong was startled, and immediately got up to avoid it: "Fourth sister-in-law, what are you doing." ”
Li Xiangru maintained a saluting posture, his pale and emaciated face was full of tears, his eyes were full of pleading, and his voice was choked: "Seventh brother." In the past, your fourth brother did something that could not be done to you, and I am here to apologize to you on his behalf. ”
"Now that your fourth brother has suffered a catastrophe, I will have to rely on you to save him in the future. For the sake of the brothers, you must save him back. ”
"I'm begging you!"
Before he finished speaking, tears rained down.
No wonder Li Xiang was so frightened and flustered.
It's just that others, the king of Ningxia and Sheng Hong have been married, and they are quite estranged from each other. Sheng Hong is now back in Beijing and has taken over the task of saving people. If you intentionally "miss" the king of Ningxia, the king of Ningxia will not even have the last line of life.
Li Xiang cried and pleaded like this, and Sheng Hong had to respond: "Fourth sister-in-law, don't worry." I will do everything I can to save everyone back. ”
Such a guarantee really can't reassure Li Xiangru.
Li Xiangru raised his head and said with tears in his eyes: "Seventh brother, I ......"
"Your Highness has already responded, and I will do my best." Xie Mingxi lightly interrupted Li Xiangru: "The fourth sister-in-law can't believe His Royal Highness, please invite someone else." ”
Li Xiangru: "......"
People have to bow their heads under the eaves.
Li Xiangru endured this sullen breath and squeezed out a trace of stiff gratitude: "It is I who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and the seventh brother is wise and upright, and he is by no means the villain who is two-faced and three-stabbed." ”
In the past, Sheng Hong had already choked back with a sentence of "Hehe, it's really unfortunate, in fact, I am this kind of person".
Now in such a situation, the sisters-in-law are more and more pitiful than the other, where can he still say such things.
Empress Dowager Yu glanced at Li Xiangru unhappily, Li Xiangru shrank back, and finally sat back honestly.
At this moment, Gonggong Lu came to report: "Qi Qi Empress Dowager, the two elders heard that His Royal Highness the King of Shu entered the palace and asked to see His Royal Highness. ”
Father-in-law Lu fell seriously ill and recovered after a few months. After that, he was completely left out in the cold.
Now, it seems, that was a lucky thing. Emperor Jian'an went to the imperial mausoleum and brought all the henchmen and servants around him, and Duke Lu was naturally left behind. Otherwise, you will also be in danger at this time.
Sheng Hong looked at Empress Dowager Yu.
Empress Dowager Yu immediately said: "You immediately go to the Qing Palace and discuss countermeasures with the two elders." ”
Sheng Hong nodded in response, and before leaving, he glanced at Xie Mingxi.
Xie Mingxi nodded slightly invisibly, and exchanged glances with Sheng Hong that only each other could understand.
……
Zhao Changqing and Yin Xiaoxiao both saw it in their eyes, and couldn't help but think of their husbands who were caught in the hands of traitors and didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and their hearts were sour.
Xiao Yuhan barely cheered up: "I have already ordered someone to clean up the Fulin Palace." The seven brothers and sisters are running all the way, and they must be tired, so they will go back to the Fulin Palace to rest for a day or two, and in the evening, I will set up a banquet to invite each other. ”
"Thank you for your kindness." Xie Mingxi directly refused: "However, at this time, no one is in the mood to eat and drink, and there is no need to set up a banquet." ”
That's it!
Xiao Yuhan was exhausted and exhausted, and he didn't have the heart to drink the banquet, so he nodded with a wry smile when he heard this.
Several princesses of the feudal clan had no intention of leaving, and they all rested in the palace without mentioning it.
Xie Mingxi has been running around for several days, and he has been holding on, and once he relaxes, he feels tired. After entering the Fulin Palace, I slept for more than two hours.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark.
Xie Mingxi changed his clothes and freshened up under Congyu's service, and asked casually, "Has Your Highness ever come back?" ”
Congyu replied in a low voice, "No." Instead, he sent a message and asked the princess to have dinner by herself. ”
I don't know how long it will take for the two elders to let go.
Xie Mingxi was not unhappy. Returning to Beijing this time, Sheng Hong has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and it is impossible to be leisurely.
For many years since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, there has never been a ridiculous thing where the Son of Heaven and his ministers were captured together. Lu Ge Lao Li Ge was anxious in his heart, and it can be imagined that Sheng Hong not only had to take on the heavy responsibility of rescuing the Son of Heaven, but he also couldn't avoid the heavy responsibility of dealing with the major affairs of the country and the dynasty on behalf of the Son of Heaven.
"The slave maid will go to the imperial dining room to pass the meal."
"No need." Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed slightly: "I'll go to the Jiaofang Palace and dine with my mother." ”
……
Half an hour later.
The lights in the Jiaofang hall are bright, as bright as day. The round table is filled with delicate and delicious dishes.
Empress Dowager Yu had no appetite, so she only ate two bites and put her chopsticks aside. Xie Mingxi had a good appetite, and he didn't stop after eating two bowls. Then move to the inner room to speak.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knew each other's difficulties, and they were not in a hurry to fight, but they gossiped about each other.
Empress Dowager Yu opened her mouth and asked, "How is Xianzhi?" ”
Xie Mingxi smiled and replied: "Mother Lao is worried." The master is very comfortable and happy in Shudi, he is busy going to the academy every day, and he has to take care of the nursing home, and he will accompany Ah Luo after returning home. It's quite busy and fulfilling. ”
After a while, he said, "The more people live, the older they get." Master is the opposite, the busier he is, the more energetic he becomes. There is no white hair on his head. At first glance, he only looks like he is in his thirties. ”
Empress Dowager Yu thought of her friend's free and easy demeanor, and a smile flashed in her eyes. Soon, it turned into embarrassment and helplessness.
Xie Mingxi looked at the Empress Dowager Yu quietly: "Before coming, the master solemnly told His Royal Highness that no matter what the situation is, he must protect the queen mother. ”
Empress Dowager Yu's eyes flashed with a glimmer of water.
In this world, there are still people who really care about her.
Speaking of friends, Empress Dowager Yu was a little wary, and was about to open her mouth to speak, when she heard Xie Mingxi say lightly: "When our husband and wife returned to Beijing, we sincerely helped our mother." It is chilling that the queen mother has kept important matters to mention. ”
Empress Dowager Yu's pupils contracted suddenly.
