Chapter 865: Abdicate and make way for Xian
"Queen Mother, Sister Qingluan, sit down and eat, otherwise the dishes will be cold!" Long Ning looked at them provocatively, but the spring flowers on his face were smiling, and he snuggled up to Nangong Qing unscrupulously, as if to prove something.
Su Yi obviously also discovered this, and stood aside with an ugly face, not knowing what to do.
With a sweep of his eyes, Luo Qingluan naturally understood something, but with a smile on his face, he said directly to Nangong Qing: "Coincidentally, it just so happens that Niangniang and I are also hungry, please prepare another table of new dishes for Your Majesty?" The queen and I just tasted it slowly. ”
"Oh!" Nangong Qing was slightly stunned, and immediately nodded: "Okay, okay, let the imperial dining room prepare one more table." ”
The memories were intertwined, and he remembered the first time he saw Luo Qingluan.
He took her to Deyue Tower for dinner, thinking that he could win the favor of the beautiful woman, but he was a mess and had no face because she picked on her. From that time on, he paid close attention to her, but unfortunately...... In the end, she didn't even have a word, and she married Nalan Ye.
His mind was in a trance, and Nangong Qing heard Luo Qingluan's voice again: "Finally, Sun, let the imperial dining room prepare more, such as Buddha jumping over the wall, dragon liver and phoenix marrow, shark fin bird's nest, etc., as well as Concubine Yao's table, let's all serve one!" Although my mother and I didn't eat much, we tasted everything, which was enjoyable. ”
Luo Qingluan talked about various famous dishes in detail, and at the same time broke his jade fingers, looking very serious, which made Nangong Qing stunned for a while, and Long Ning beside him was even more dumbfounded.
She wanted to humiliate the two, but she didn't expect Luo Qingluan to be anti-guest-oriented!
And Su Yi, who was still a little worried, finally let go of her heart, and she knew that if Luo Qingluan was there, she would not let her suffer. It would be nice if she was there yesterday, as a queen, she has always been a little less imposing than her, otherwise, where would it be Long Ning's turn to bully her?
After Luo Qingluan finished speaking, Nangong Qing directly waved his hand and agreed: "Come on, did you hear what Princess Chu said just now?" Hurry up and prepare, let the imperial dining room immediately go all out, and prepare it, if there is one missing, I will ask you! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!!"
As soon as the words fell, Sun Dafu immediately responded, but he didn't dare to be sloppy.
Looking at all this, Long Ning felt at this time that Nangong Qing seemed to have extraordinary feelings for Luo Qingluan, and this kind of look and attitude was not something he could shake at all.
Could it be that Your Majesty also has any thoughts about Luo Qingluan in his heart?
The meal was harmonious on the surface, but the actual thoughts were different, and after the end of the meal, Luo Qingluan took Su Yi back without hesitation. Nangong Qing didn't see it at all, but felt that this dinner had a different taste. These three women, no matter which one of them has a special place in his heart, it is also very interesting to have dinner together.
After that, Luo Qingluan often went into the palace to accompany Su Yi.
Tell her how women should be self-respecting and self-reliant, and have a strong heart, so that they will not be afraid of all gains and losses. Su Yi heard everything Luo Qingluan said, and never expected Luo Qingluan's inner world to be like this.
Although it is a bit shocking, it makes sense for Su Yi to think about it seriously.
Just like Luo Qingluan, enjoying life wantonly and freely is also what she desires in her heart. Luo Qingluan was able to find a man like Nalan Ye, and was willing to be a couple with her for the rest of her life, but as for her, although she loved Nangong Qing very much, she couldn't completely get his heart.
Perhaps, she just cares too much.
Whoever is serious will lose, Luo Qingluan told her this, now that she thinks about it, Su Yi feels that it does make sense.
Therefore, when Luo Qingluan invited Su Yi out of the palace and went to her Chu Wangfu to stay for two days, although Su Yi was a little surprised, she was more expectant. After hesitating for three minutes, she was very moved, and hesitated: "Good or good, I don't know...... Your Majesty will ......?"
"As long as you agree, I'll go and tell Nangong Qing." Luo Qingluan smiled lightly.
Since Long Ning became pregnant, Nangong Qing's attitude towards Su Yi has changed a lot, although it is not cold, but she will never accept it. If it weren't for the fact that she often instilled some enlightened views in Su Yi and encouraged her to change and pursue hard, I'm afraid that the current Su Yi would have completely fallen out of favor, right?
The relationship between the emperor and the queen has become what it is now, although there is part of Su Yi's responsibility, but Luo Qingluan understands that this is the reason why Nangong Qing is the emperor. I like a woman again, and I say to her, 'Only take one scoop of 3,000 weak water', but after a long time, the freshness is not there, and I will slowly change my mind.
The emperor, after all, is amorous, otherwise how to prolong the heirs, the country and the country for all generations?
Fortunately, she firmly rejected Nangong Qing, otherwise...... Hehe, there won't be otherwise, she rejected Nangong Qing's identity from the beginning. And Su Yi is different from her, this is their choice of different fates.
Su Yi thought about it, she really didn't want to stay in the palace, and when she heard about Concubine Yao all day long, it was better to simply go out of the palace to have fun. sent someone to invite Nangong Qing to come to the Xizhao Palace, starting with Luo Qingluan, she appealed, and sure enough, Nangong Qing readily agreed.
"It's okay, since the queen wants to go to the Chu Palace, let's have a good time. You and Princess Chu are friends, and it may be more interesting for her to play with the queen. Nangong Qing said with a smile.
Luo Qingluan gently rubbed the gilded pumpkin stove in his arms, glanced at Nangong Qing, and said jokingly: "Your Majesty also found that Niangniang was unhappy staying in the palace, so you agreed to let her go to live with me?" It seems that Your Majesty has a plan in mind! ”
"Why did Princess Chu say such things, how could the queen be unhappy?"
Nangong Qing had a ghost in his heart, and suddenly his face turned pale: "I have indeed come to the queen less recently, but Concubine Yao is pregnant, and the queen mother is very nervous, I can't help but care more about her......"
"Your Majesty, don't blame it, Princess Chu is joking." Su Yi hurriedly played a round and cast a pleading look at Luo Qingluan.
With a sigh of emotion in his heart, Luo Qingluan could only give up.
Since Su Yi was reluctant to complain about Nangong Qing, what else did she say? One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and she has done her best to do this.
It was not a trivial matter for the queen to leave the palace, at least the palace maids and eunuchs needed a large number of things to prepare. But Luo Qingluan and Su Yi both felt that they didn't need to work like this, originally the Chu Wangfu was in the capital, it was heavily guarded and absolutely safe, and everything they needed was available, Su Yi only needed to bring Ruyi and Pearl to serve closely, and it was enough to bring some necessary supplies.
Luo Qingluan personally went to tell the Queen Mother that the Queen Mother heard that she was bored at home, so she invited Su Yi to live in the Chu Palace, and sure enough, she did not refuse, but asked Su Yi to accompany her for two more days.
After waiting for the carriage and leaving the palace gate, Su Yi could show a little emotion, if it wasn't for Luo Qingluan's help, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to pass the queen mother's pass. But to do Luo Qingluan's way, she is afraid that it will be impossible for her whole life.
For Su Yi to come to Princess Chu as the queen, Nalan Ye was not the slightest bit unusual.
For him, Su Yi is Luo Qingluan's friend, and as for the identity of the queen, it does not exist in front of him. When two women talk together, it is not convenient for him to participate, and it is also a kind of happiness and relaxation to take his son when he is idle.
Time is spent day by day like this, the capital of Western Chu is calm, but the outside world is not like this.
Emperor Dongwan has been ill for more than a month.
Since he was rescued from the Taimiao by Empress Wei that day, he has been in a daze for two days.
Perhaps it was the breath in his heart that supported him, and he wanted to thoroughly investigate the facts that Luo Qingluan said, Emperor Dongwan ordered all the imperial doctors in the hospital to consult, and he took the decoction to boost his qi and awaken his mind, and temporarily recovered, so he brought up the investigation of the matter of Li Guifei.
The old past of more than 20 years ago is now to be investigated, and the relevant people and families involved are widely involved, which is beyond everyone's expectations. When the incident became clearer and clearer, some courtiers and princes finally couldn't sit still, and they all said that Emperor Dongwan should stop and not investigate further.
Emperor Dongwan, who was holding his breath, had already made a decision, and he would never forget what Luo Qingluan said.
Such a shameful humiliation, if only a few relevant people are involved, then just endure it. But now it is known to others, and a little publicity is known to everyone, how did Emperor Dongwan endure it?
He is the emperor, the king of a country, and he has suffered such a great shame and raised other people's sons for more than twenty years!
Under the vigorous and resolute action, Emperor Dongwan played his decisive and sharp twenty years ago, and did not care about the consequences of this incident, and boldly beheaded all the people involved in the incident and exiled them. As for the reason......
For no reason!
Some Dongwan ministers vaguely knew something, but no one dared to say it, and they were silent one by one, for fear of being implicated, so they simply refused visitors, closed their doors, and couldn't even go to court. After such a month's iron-blooded measures, at least 40 officials were beheaded, and as many as 12 families were exiled.
At this moment, Emperor Dongwan struggled for a month, and finally fell ill with insufficient energy.
The crown prince Xiao Yuqi was appointed to supervise the country and temporarily replace the government, and the major officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If His Majesty is allowed to investigate like this, I am afraid that Dongwan will really be in chaos!
In front of the sickbed, Emperor Dongwan's face was emaciated, his cheekbones were protruding, but his eyes were deep and powerful.
"Prince, you are my only hope, Dongwan's future will be handed over to you, don't let me down." Slowly and in a deep voice, although Emperor Dongwan was sick and bedridden, the desire in his heart did not diminish at all.
He didn't expect it to be like this, but the root cause was on those two!
Nalan Night! Luo Qingluan!
If they hadn't come to the door, this secret, which had been hidden for more than 20 years, would not have surfaced. Sometimes, even if it is a cancer, if it does not attack, he would rather ignore and forget. But once he was pierced, pus and blood flowed everywhere, which stimulated the pain, he could only vent this pain.
Concubine Li Guifei and Xiao Tianci both got the end they deserved, and the man was also beheaded by the whole family, even the royal family was not merciful. The only ones left are those two people!
Staring at Xiao Yuqi, Emperor Dongwan's old face was full of stubbornness, and he ordered word by word: "Prince, if you can kill Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan, I will abdicate and give way to Xian, and hand over Dongwan's country to you!" ”
Xiao Yuqi's eyes shrank, and his heart set off turbulent waves.
Let him be the enemy of the King of Chu and his wife?
It's not that he doesn't dare, but he doesn't want to!
When Western Chu is in full swing and in the limelight, Dongwan should befriend Western Chu rather than meet each other in arms. Nalan Ye's name as the god of war is not a general, but he is afraid that he is the strongest opponent he has encountered in his life, and he doesn't want to turn his face rashly until he is absolutely sure.
And Luo Qingluan is a woman he regards as a confidant, how can he bear to kill her?
He had already betrayed her once, could it be that this time, he would still aim the butcher's knife at her?
