Chapter 580: Suspicion and Trust
The Queen Mother's thoughts were instantly in a mess, now that Nalan attacked Beiyue at night, he had already hit Changyuan City, Beiyue should be panicked, Han Xun, as the emperor, why did he still run to Xichu?
Could it be that he had some purpose? The Queen Mother couldn't guess what he was going to do when he took Princess Chu away? Do you think that it is not enough to threaten to use muscle-building and blood-nourishing vines, and you have to take another Luo Qingluan?
"Okay, okay, stop crying."
Dai Yue's crying made her even more upset, things were already messed up enough, and if she continued to cry, the entire palace would be in a miasma.
Hearing the words of the Queen Mother, Dai Yue stopped it.
The Queen Mother waved her hand and sat aside with a headache: "The mourning family knows, you go back first, early tomorrow morning, the mourning family will send someone to find Princess Chu." ”
"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Xu Lian and Xu Wei bowed and saluted, and also pulled Dai Yue together, and the two handed Dai Yue a look, and Dai Yue understood that she would go back with the two of them.
The queen mother has a headache, the emperor is not well yet, and Luo Qingluan has an accident again, whether it is justified or not. Whether it is the emperor's illness or Luo Qingluan's identity, plus she was once kind to her, the queen mother can't do anything to ignore it. But if you want to save it, you don't know Han Xun's whereabouts at the moment, where should you find it?
Even if he finds it, it's not that he has to be controlled by others, but I'm afraid that Han Xun will be even more proud, and threaten the lives of Luo Qingluan with muscle-growing blood vines and Luo Qingluan. The thought of this gave her a splitting headache.
After a while, another word came from outside: "The Empress Dowager, the Imperial Historian of the Imperial Procuratorate and the Imperial History Zhongcheng ask to see you." ”
"It's so late, what's going on in this Metropolitan Procuratorate?" The Queen Mother said with some displeasure.
Sun Dafu, who came to deliver the message, bowed and replied cautiously: "The Queen Mother, the slave doesn't know." It's just that the two adults said that the situation is urgent, and they must see the Queen Mother tonight. ”
The Queen Mother wondered in her heart why she came so late......
Now that the emperor is seriously ill, the things in this palace are handled by the queen mother, no matter how big or small, the harem is not idle, and the people of the previous dynasty are here again, and they are tired every day, and the queen mother can only sigh.
"People are here, and there is no reason to blast them out, so please let them in." The Queen Mother said.
These officials don't know what to say.
When the Queen Mother thought of this, her head hurt even more.
The little palace maid beside her rubbed her head with the wind spirit, and after the two ministers of the Nadu Procuratorate came in, the queen mother asked the palace maid to step aside.
"The Imperial Envoy of the Imperial Procuratorate/Imperial History of the Imperial Court knocked to see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
"Get up, Lord Liu, Lord Kang." The Queen Mother raised her hand and instructed the people around her: "Come on, quickly give a seat to the two adults." ”
The eunuch on the side hurriedly brought up two chairs and placed them behind Liu Kang and the others.
The Queen Mother held the Ru porcelain teacup in her hand and asked the two of them: "It's so late, what is the matter with your Imperial Court, do you have to report it today?" ”
The two adults, Liu and Kang, had just sat down, and when they heard the Queen Mother ask them, they got up again, bowed respectfully, and after a glance at each other, they replied in unison: "The Queen Mother, the ministers have something to play, and I hope the Queen Mother will tell Your Majesty on your behalf." ”
"If the two adults have something, let's talk to the mourning family, the emperor is not in good health now, and the mourning family will handle all matters on his behalf." The Queen Mother said with a cold face.
She can't be underestimated, and now the world is changing in a blink of an eye. Nangong Qing is now seriously ill, and as the empress dowager of Western Chu, she should naturally take up the majesty of the royal people, so that she can suppress the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and cover the rivers and mountains of Western Chu.
"Yes, Queen Mother." The two leaned over and replied.
In the imperial history, Liu Zhi glanced at the imperial envoy doctor Kang Qian beside him, Kang Qian bowed slightly, stood up and said: "Queen Mother, the King of Chu was ordered to crusade against North Vietnam, and later the Queen Mother Niangniang ordered the King of Chu to return to Beijing, but the King of Chu openly resisted the decree and refused to return to the dynasty. The ministers thought that the prince of Chu was disrespectful to His Majesty and you, and now there were discussions in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, saying that the king of Chu learned that His Majesty was uneasy and had evil thoughts, so he refused to return to the court. ”
"Presumptuous!" When the Queen Mother heard what the two men had said, she was furious.
Frightened, Liu and Kang knelt on the ground, and the Queen Mother looked at the two with angry eyes: "Lord Kang, Lord Liu." Mourning family in the two of you are old ministers, mourning family does not punish you two, this king of Chu is the first emperor of the imperial seal, hard work and high achievement, you two want to participate in the king of Chu, need to get a certificate, a good Manchu Dynasty civil and military discussions. The establishment of the Imperial Court is to let you speak widely, but it is not to let you wait for your words to come out of nowhere. ”
"The Queen Mother! The two ministers' remarks are not groundless, and there have long been such rumors in the DPRK. Now His Majesty's dragon body is sick, so Nalan Ye refuses to return to the court, isn't it an ulterior motive? The two ministers are loyal to His Majesty, and they only risked their lives to admonish today, and they still need the Queen Mother to open the Holy Listening! ”
The Queen Mother couldn't sit still for a while, and she understood the hearts of Liu Kang and the others. Only Nalan Ye is not such a villain who takes advantage of people's danger, and the queen mother does not dare to judge herself, so as not to hurt Zhongliang by mistake.
"Okay, okay, Lord Kang, Lord Liu. Get up quickly, you two, and stop kneeling. The Queen Mother said.
Liu Kang and the others were always reluctant to get up: "The Queen Mother!" ”
Seeing that the two of them were stubborn, the queen mother was really helpless, so she could only sigh and say: "The mourning family knows, the mourning family will tell the emperor, two adults, the mourning family is lacking, go back early." ”
Liu Kang and the others heard the Queen Mother say this, and then they got up, "Yes, the Queen Mother, the ministers and others will retire." ”
The Queen Mother was in an extremely complicated mood at the moment, although she responded to the words of Liu Kang and the others, but the words of the two of them were just rumors in the capital. It's not that she didn't worry about whether Nalan Ye would really rebel, but now that Xichu is in danger, she can't make another incident, and she feels that Nalan Ye shouldn't be that kind of person.
After all, even the people with whom His Majesty is friendly should know his personality.
Before she knew it, the Queen Mother had walked to Nangong Qing's bed.
When Nangong Qing saw her coming, he called out weakly, "Queen Mother." ”
"Your Majesty." The Queen Mother walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and covered him with a quilt in distress: "What's wrong with Your Majesty, is the thirst but the wound hurts again?" ”
Although Nangong Qing was sick, he noticed that the Queen Mother had something on his mind, and he was also uneasy in his heart, so he asked: "The Queen Mother Hu has been working hard for me for a while. But the queen mother doesn't look very good, but you have to be careful with your body, and now that everything depends on the queen mother, you can't be tired. ”
"It's okay to mourn the family, Your Majesty, you have to have a good rest. When the mourning family takes back the muscle-growing and blood-nourishing vine, His Majesty's illness can be completely cured. The Queen Mother said to him lovingly, as if she had lost the prestige of reprimanding Liu and Kang just now. At the moment, she is just a loving mother, taking care of the sick and weak.
"Queen Mother, you don't want to pile everything in your heart, I grew up with you, although it is not my own, but it is better than my biological mother and son. You don't know what you're trying to do, how can I not know? Nangong Qing was ashamed in his heart, if he couldn't manage the government now, he wouldn't have asked the Queen Mother to worry about his affairs.
The queen mother sighed in her heart, but she couldn't hide it from his eyes.
She didn't want Nangong Qing to worry about her illness, but ...... This is a matter of national importance. No matter how assertive and strategic she is, she is just a woman, not an emperor.
"Your Majesty, the mourning family didn't want you to worry about these things. But in the end, you are the emperor, and you have to make your own decisions about many things. The Queen Mother sighed.
Nangong Qing's heart sank when he heard this, and he asked, "Queen Mother, what do you say?" ”
"Nalan Ye, the king of Chu, was ordered to attack North Vietnam, and now the mourning family ordered him to return to the court, but Nalan Ye openly resisted the order, saying that there was no way out, and he wanted to stop the troubles and completely take North Vietnam." The Queen Mother sighed.
After hearing this, Nangong Qing didn't feel that there was anything wrong: "Queen Mother, the King of Chu is also for our Western Chu." ”
"Yes...... The mourning family also knows that the king of Chu is for our Western Chu. But now there are rumors in the court, all saying that the king of Chu knows that His Majesty is seriously ill, so he refuses to return, but he is afraid that he has the heart to rebel...... The mourning family also has to be guarded against. The Queen Mother was helpless in her heart.
Nangong Qing was silent for a long time after hearing this, he lay on the bed, stared at the top with a sluggish gaze, and after thinking for a long time, he spoke: "Queen Mother, Erchen thinks that you are too worried about this matter. The king of Chu is loyal to me and has a pure heart, how can the queen mother still doubt him? ”
"The mourning family also knows that the king of Chu has made great contributions to my Western Chu, and the mourning family should be rewarded, but ......"
Nangong Qing knew what the Queen Mother was entangled in her heart, and Nalan Ye's blatant resistance was discussing, but he must have been helpless.
He stretched out his hand, grabbed the wrinkled hands of the Queen Mother, and comforted: "Queen Mother, you just have to rest assured." I knew him and knew he wouldn't be like that. If the king of Chu really had the intention of rebellion, how could the princess of Chu disregard her own comfort and fight for her life to save her son from the line of life and death? Moreover, has the queen forgotten that her father was still there? ”
This reminder, the Queen Mother also remembered the past.
Nalan Night and the Emperor's ...... This is an incalculable account, until the emperor left, she was still haunted by the emperor, she was serving left and right, every day to hear the emperor chatter, all kinds of indignant scolding, has long been engraved in her heart like a brand.
Because of Luo Qingluan, the princess of Chu, Nalan Ye openly resisted the decree more than once, directly confronted the emperor, and even led troops to besiege the city, intending to force the emperor to retreat. If this kind of thing were changed to someone else, I am afraid that he would have been beheaded by the former emperor a long time ago, but Nalan Ye has a heavy army in his hands, and his prestige is boundless, which is not at all comparable to the power of the former emperor.
The queen mother knew Luo Qingluan's personality, and the emperor misunderstood that she had a personal affair with Han Xun, which was indeed the emperor's. But it can also be seen that Nalan Ye is a person who is angry and angry, and for the sake of Luo Qingluan, he can ignore everything
This proves that he doesn't love the country and loves the beauty!
Luo Qingluan is also not the kind of small-posture twisted woman, she was born in the General's Mansion, whether it is vision, ability or temperament, it is valued and liked by the Queen Mother. Although she did not become the queen of Nangong Qing, she had a relationship with his confidant, for the sake of Nangong Qing and Xichu, she was able to risk her own safety.
In this way, how could the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu betray Western Chu and do such an infamous thing?
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother gradually figured it out in her heart.
If Nalan Ye really had the heart to rebel, how could he agree with Luo Qingluan to save Nangong Qingqing? Moreover, Luo Qingluan was also taken away by Han Xun for the sake of the muscle-nourishing blood vine...... It stands to reason that she feels indebted to the King of Chu and Princess Chu in her heart, and she is really ashamed to be suspicious at this time.
"What Your Majesty said is that the mourning family knows. The mourning family believes in the King of Chu and the Princess of Chu, so His Majesty puts his heart in his stomach and takes good care of his body. The Queen Mother smiled and didn't tell him about Luo Qingluan's disappearance. After talking to Nangong Qing for a few more words, he left for fear of disturbing his rest.
