Chapter Ninety-Eight: I only wish your heart would be like mine
"The concubine didn't mean to want Zhilan's life." Lan Xin's twisted eyebrows lost their former suppleness, and there was a little reluctance in the dignifiedness, and the distress was endless. can fall into Hongli's eyes, and I can't help but regret it. Especially after she suppressed it, the low voice made people want to hold her cheek and kiss it gently. "The concubine is just for the sake of harmony in the six palaces, but in fact ......"
"Actually, you've heard all kinds of gossip about my life story long before I succeeded to the throne, haven't you?" Hongli interrupted Lan Xin's words and said the hardship in her heart for her. "The reason why I don't want to say it is not because I don't want to confess to you, on the contrary, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to do it."
Stroking her smooth and delicate cheeks, he smiled affectionately and said, "Lan Xin, you have been married to me for ten years, how can I not know your thoughts!" ”
This remark made people a little dizzy, Lan Xin listened to it, and her heart seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton, and she was moved. But after all, he still made him sad. I don't know why, Lan Xin privately didn't want Hongli to know that Zhilan was cheating to death. That bottle of "poisoned wine" didn't kill her at all.
Maybe that's great, isn't it? Lan Xin thought that Zhilan could fly away, and the emperor's heart would forget her existence sooner or later. After all, if she was still alive, she could only mess up everything she had painstakingly arranged. Maybe there was an element of jealousy, but more of a concern for the peace of the harem, Lan Xin gritted his teeth and strengthened his heart.
Finally knelt down uprightly, Lan Xin nodded unbearably: "The concubine doesn't dare to deceive the emperor, this matter is indeed as the emperor said, the concubine has heard the rumors early in the morning." But if the emperor doesn't want to tell his concubines, the concubines will never ask each other. Zhilan's death was forced to happen, and the concubines would rather blame the emperor than bear the name of unfilial piety. ”
The righteous words came out of Lan Xin's mouth, and he felt a little pity.
Hongli has some bad feelings in his heart, he doesn't laugh, he doesn't laugh, and he doesn't know what kind of expression he should face his wife who accompanies him day and night in a trance. Fortunately, Lan Xin never raised his head, so he hung his head so softly and gently. It seems to have given him a lot of comfort, silently, but the one that warms people's hearts the most.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you personally." Hongli held up the kneeling Lan Xin with both hands, and pulled her in front of him with a slight force: "You are used to being lenient, fair and self-controlled, I don't believe that you will not be able to tolerate Zhilan because of jealousy." The reason why he gave poisoned wine so resolutely must be to hope to settle the unsolvable old feud between the Queen Mother and me. With a faint sigh, Hongli seemed to convince himself: "I understand, how can I blame you." Lan Xin nodded vigorously, and put her red eyes on Hongli's chest: "Your Majesty, the concubine failed to protect Zhilan, which made the emperor sad." ”
"You've done your best." Hongli gently stroked the broken hair on her sideburns behind her ears, feeling guilty and lost: "I myself am not useless, and I couldn't protect her in the end." The estrangement in the past was not only my suspicion of Zhilan, but also my unwillingness to accept Eniang's arrangement. But when I knew that E-Niang was probably not my own in-law's E-Niang......"
Lan Xin put her lips on Hongli's lips and sealed his mouth softly and moistly, she didn't want to hear such distressing words, she was afraid to hear them. After a long time, she whispered: "Don't say it to the emperor, the concubine understands." The concubines all understood. ”
Hongli raised his head, looked at the sky, and said slowly and weakly: "Actually, that rumor didn't exist before I ascended the throne...... It's been a few years, and it's grown into a boulder on my chest. ”
"The emperor's ......" Lan Xin was quite stunned, and this rumor had already been pressed on Hongli's heart early in the morning. No wonder he treats the Queen Mother so coldly, no wonder he listens to groundless rumors, it turns out that he has already begun to be suspicious. "The emperor's ......" didn't know how to comfort him, Lan Xin could only call him over and over again, softly.
"Lan Xin." Hongli hugged the woman in his arms tightly, wishing that she could understand her heartache. The biological mother is very likely to be killed by the mother who raised her, how can such a deep hatred be put aside, how can you forget it. If he doesn't mention it all these years, it's not that he can't make himself think about it or not believe it.
On the contrary, it was precisely because he could tolerate this time that he was able to save his life. With the mind of the Queen Mother, if she knew that he was already suspicious, she was afraid that even his life would not be saved.
"Isn't it useless?" Hongli's tone is distressingly sour.
Lan Xin only heard this, and tears rolled down her cheeks. "No, Your Majesty, you are the monarch of the Qing Dynasty and the husband of your concubines. It is the highest mountain in Lan Xin's heart. ”
"Lan Xin, my queen, you did the right thing. You're doing it right. No matter how heartbroken Hongli is, he has to admit that if it weren't for the queen who cut off Zhilan's life, this turmoil would not have ended here. Once there is discord between the queen mother and the queen, the palace concubines who do not know the truth will definitely divide their doors and each be their master.
At the least, it will be abolished and set up separately, and the worst will expose the filth and secret hidden in the red bricks and blue tiles of the Forbidden City......
Hongli didn't dare to think about it, and when he was relatively speechless, he could only hug each other tightly.
Yafu motioned to the little palace maid to push open the door of the Queen Mother's bedroom, and walked in with a bowl of rock sugar pears. "The Queen Mother tasted it, this is the slave maid boiled it herself, I haven't made it for a while, I don't know if it's still the taste of the past."
The Queen Mother was slightly weak-eyed, she had already smelled the sweet taste of the pear, and said with a faint smile: "The mourning family has no appetite, so it's hard for you to boil it yourself." Leave it alone. ”
Resting it in the hand of the Queen Mother, Yafu stroked a few gardenias in the blue vase. "The queen mother is used to not liking the strong fragrance of flowers, and often has the habit of burning incense to meditate, the slave and maid walked away for a while, which slave was so blind, and actually sent a gardenia over? Or let the slave and maid be replaced by something else, right? ”
"Not necessarily." The Queen Mother smiled slightly, and the corners of her lips hooked up for a while before she continued: "I am used to Du Yu Fangzhi, sweet and spicy, calm and deep and thick, and occasionally taste the rich fragrance of gardenias, and it is also fresh." In the end, it is Hui Guifei's heart, and the mourning family must always receive it. ”
Yafu nodded slightly, and there was no joy on his face: "Du Yu Fangzhi can calm down the restless heart of ups and downs in an instant, which is in line with the Queen Mother's graceful and luxurious bearing, and the overwhelming majesty." A few gardenias can be replaced. It's just that the Queen Mother is kind-hearted and unwilling to dismiss Concubine Hui's face. ”
has followed the Queen Mother for decades, how could Yafu not understand what the Queen Mother thought. The words in her mouth seem to be her own thoughts, but she doesn't lose the thoughts of the Queen Mother.
"The mourning family is used to seeing the elegant and unsmiling beauties, and occasionally I want to see Hui Guifei, who is smiling and smiling. Did the emperor go to her Chuxiu Palace tonight? The Queen Mother scooped up a spoonful of pear juice and touched her lips gently. Seeing that Yafu didn't speak, he couldn't help but look at her strangely: "What, isn't it?" ”
"The emperor went to Changchun Palace." Yafu smiled slowly: "Leaving from Zhongcui Palace, the Imperial Rim will go towards Changchun Palace. At this moment, I haven't left. ”
The Queen Mother put down the porcelain spoon in her hand, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and smiled ashamedly: "Yafu, the mourning family is really old." I didn't think it before, but now that I look at it, my body is not good and my brain is not good. I was confused for three days, and I couldn't understand anything. ”
"The queen is of noble birth and has been hairpins for generations, even if the emperor doesn't like her. You should always like the aura she carries. Yafu laughed disappreciatively, hung behind him, and pinched the shoulder for the queen mother: "The slave always thinks that Concubine Hui and Concubine Xian are women with true temperament." Dare to be angry and speak out, without losing innocence, the emperor prefers it. ”
"You're really wrong." The Queen Mother couldn't help sighing, her cheeks, which were still charming, showed coldness at this time: "If the emperor really doesn't care about this queen, why would he go to Changchun Palace again." No one is persecuting him with any aura, is there? With another sigh, the Queen Mother straightened out her thoughts: "The queen is not as simple as we see on the surface, she doesn't dare to be angry but dare to do it." Otherwise, how could she risk offending the emperor and happily kill Zhilan's girl in front of the mourning family? offended the emperor, didn't she do the same neat and spicy and ruthless. ”
The phoenix's eyes suddenly turned, and the killing intent crossed his eyes coldly, as if freezing the air in front of him: "If it weren't for the emperor's affection for Fucha Lanxin, it must be that he knew why the queen was so decisive." Yafu, this rock sugar pear is a good thing, if you don't eat some, it's really a waste. I'm afraid that the mourning family won't be able to eat in the future. ”
"No, Queen Mother." Yafu's eyebrows jumped, and his expression was solemn: "How could the emperor know?" The slave didn't believe it. ”
"There are no impermeable walls." The Queen Mother bent her eyebrows and smiled: "How many people still knew about it back then, not one of them remained, and they were dealt with as soon as possible." It must be reasonable and not suspicious. After that, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh coldly: "In the end, the palace overestimated Zhilan's girl, I thought she would be liked by the emperor, hum...... Death is death. What do you keep for useless people? ”
"Yes, the Queen Mother can rest assured, the slave knows what to do." Yafo lightly blessed his body and prepared to retire on an errand. Before leaving, I saw the Queen Mother picking up the pear juice, scooping and drinking it spoonful, and I couldn't bear it slightly. Frowning and suppressing her somewhat uneasy and throbbing heartbeat, she finally didn't say anything, and bowed her head and retreated.
When the Queen Mother saw her leaving, she put the porcelain bowl back on the table and muttered to herself: "People's hearts are just like this, they can be calculated, they can't be calculated, after all, they are just a lonely soul in the red wall." Who can be better than whom, but what I ask for is just the scenery when I was alive. ”
