Chapter 124: The Queen Mother under house arrest
"How so? How so? As soon as she returned to the Anning Palace, the Queen Mother trembled and walked to the side of the bed and sat down, Mo Li glanced at the guards standing outside the door, quickly closed the door, walked towards the Queen Mother, and poured her a cup of hot tea.
"Queen Mother, hurry up and drink a cup of hot tea to warm your stomach." Mo Li stepped forward and glanced at the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's eyes swept out of the door, and saw that there were several tall figures standing there, and the sadness in her heart was even worse, "The mourning family is luring the wolf into the room." Sadness came from it for a while, Concubine Xiao's terrifying appearance was now clearly imprinted in her mind, and those vicious snakes merged with the purple smoke.
"Niangniang, you might as well think about it, the queen is so troublesome, and she is not even afraid that she will alarm the emperor, she actually dared to arrest Concubine Xiao Shu, what conditions do you want her to promise her?"
Mo Li's words made the Queen Mother smile slightly, and she also recalled what she had heard Ziyan say before she entered the tunnel, and asked Concubine Xiao Shufei to agree to her conditions, but what conditions were they?
I had never seen the Queen Mother, who had always been dignified and decent, so panicked, Mo Li comforted softly: "Queen Mother, why don't you let the slave find a way to go out and find the emperor to tell the emperor the true face of that woman?" ”
"Nope." The queen mother's voice suddenly rose a little, and the people outside seemed to be closer, she lowered her voice and said: "The emperor's injury has not healed yet, and he is in trouble with King Jing, and the internal and external troubles have overwhelmed him, if something happens to the harem again, the mourning family can't imagine what will happen to the emperor." No matter what happens in the palace, I can't give the fresh dog a chance to take away my country. ”
The Queen Mother twisted her eyebrows, Concubine Xiao's father is her cousin, and now she is the Admiral of the Nine Gates of the capital, with an upright personality, but she has always been just a reckless man with courage and no strategy, and it is precisely because of this that she has been in this position for a long time, not up or down, although she is respectful, but never close. Although the Admiral of the Nine Gates is still a little powerful, it can't be a big deal, Concubine Xiao's family is just some ordinary famous families, what can she use?
"If the former queen mother is here, she will definitely be able to figure out a way." Mo Li was in a hurry, and actually said this sentence a little openly, as a minion, although it is a bit too much to say this, it is indeed the truth. In the past, several catastrophes and disasters in this palace could be easily resolved by her, and she would not sit idly by and be at a loss like she is now.
The Queen Mother's phoenix eyes opened, that's right, only Yin Huan could help her at this time, "Mo Li, the mourning family has to find a way out of the palace, and the mourning family wants to beg Yin Huan to return to the palace." ”
"The Queen Mother." Mo Li called softly, she also knew that the Queen Mother was indeed isolated at this time, but the queen had been abandoned by the emperor with a letter of resignation, and now, the queen mother had formed a bond with King Jing, no matter how she looked, it was impossible for her to return to the palace to help the emperor and the queen mother. "First of all, whether we can ask the queen to return to the palace or not, it is not easy to deal with those people outside, but the slave has a way, what Yu Jin said before is not unreasonable."
After speaking, Mo Li looked at the Queen Mother with deep eyes, and the Queen Mother smiled slightly, "Ande? ”
……
Mo Li opened the door and was about to go out, but was stopped by the guards at the door, "At the behest of the queen, the queen mother's body is not safe and needs to recuperate. ”
Mo Li snorted coldly, "The Queen Mother wants to eat at night, could it be that even this, does it have to get the consent of the Queen?" If the queen mother's phoenix body is damaged, can you dog slaves afford it? ”
A guard stepped forward and said softly: "Aunt Mo, please wait a while, let this kind of rough work be done." After saying that, he gave the other two a look and left quickly.
After a while, a palace person sent a meal, the queen mother is used to going to bed early at night, today is strange, I actually want to eat, Mo Li took it from the palace people, opened it casually and looked at it, his little face was full of anger, "Bold slave, do you dare to give this kind of thing to the queen mother to eat?" How long have you been in the palace, don't you even know that Niangniang never likes to eat so lightly? Hurry up and get down there and redo it. Otherwise, if you alarm the Queen Mother, you will definitely take off your head. ”
The palace people were so frightened that they quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and finally, retreated, and Mo Li closed the door angrily.
*
In the next five days, the Queen Mother will order someone to pass the meal at this hour every day, and eat clean every time, every day at noon, as before, will go to the Buddhist hall to recite the scriptures for an hour, and then go back to the palace for a lunch break, with a calm expression, no different from usual. That's what the guards said to Purple Smoke.
Li Changsheng frowned and said: "Niangniang, according to what the slave can see, the Queen Mother is not such a patient person, Concubine Xiao Shufei is the Queen Mother's niece after all, this time the mother moved the Queen Mother's person, she can be so calm, the slave is a little worried." ”
Ziyan smiled lightly, "These palaces naturally know, but the emperor has recovered, and when the palace went to see him today, he specially told the palace to take good care of the queen mother, presumably, when he finishes dealing with the affairs of the court, he will go to see the queen mother." The Queen Mother is a god or a man, as we will know later. As a daughter-in-law, this palace should also go to visit now. ”
……
"The concubine sees the queen mother." Ziyan performed a standard palace ceremony, looked at the Queen Mother and smiled slightly, "The concubine is here today to tell the Queen Mother a good news, the emperor's dragon body has been healed, and she may come to see the Queen Mother later. I wonder if Concubine Xiao Shufei will be one of them? She raised an evil smile towards the Queen Mother, revealing her neat and white teeth, which made people shudder.
The Queen Mother just smiled coldly, closed her eyes slightly, and twisted the Buddha beads in her hand.
"Marching and fighting is not something that can be done by reciting Buddha. What can be achieved by such charity? No wonder you will be caught by Xia Yinhuan in whatever you do, it's really ridiculous. ”
"Oh, then according to the queen, you can help the emperor for marching and fighting?" The Queen Mother finally spoke, turned her head to look at Ziyan, her eyes were full of mockery, "The mourning family has always thought that what you are best at, Queen, is stealing dragons and turning phoenixes, or seducing the common people." ”
Insinuating that she was born in a Qinglou and abused the death penalty against Concubine Xiao Shu.
Before Ziyan could speak, the Queen Mother had already lowered her head and smiled lightly, "The mourning family has been in the harem for decades, so do you still care about the life and death of a Concubine Xiao Shu?" After speaking, he turned his head and looked directly at Ziyan coldly, his momentum increased, "What the mourning family wants, it has always been a great powerhouse, and the emperor can always protect the foundation of eternity from falling into the hands of others. ”
At this time, a singing voice came from outside the door, "The emperor has arrived." ”
"You can not care about the life or death of Concubine Xiao Shu, the same is true of this palace, whoever dares to block the emperor's eternal inheritance, this palace will kill whom." After speaking, he smiled at the Queen Mother's ghost, and then got up and walked to the side.
At this time, Cang Linchen walked in, first paid homage to the Queen Mother, and then chuckled: "It turns out that the Queen is also here to accompany the Queen Mother?" ”
"The emperor is busy dealing with political affairs, and the concubines are incapable of sharing the emperor's worries, and now, I wanted to come to talk to the queen mother, but the queen mother is here to comfort the concubines." After speaking, he lowered his head with some self-reproach.
The Queen Mother stepped forward, "Emperor, you came just in time, the mourning family just had something to tell you." The purple smoke stabbed obliquely and gave the Queen Mother a cold look. The Queen Mother turned a blind eye, and at this time, two figures walked in from outside, "The slave greets the Queen Mother." The Queen Mother seemed to be slightly swaying, "Emperor, this is ......"
Cang Linchen glanced at the two people behind him lightly, "I once said that last time Xia Yinhuan's knife made me and her owe each other, although Ande has had it, but he has always been dedicated to protecting the lord, I released him to serve the queen mother." Listen to ...... often said that he is a person who is thoughtful and can speak well, and compared to other palace people in the Anning Palace, he should be able to amuse the queen mother better. As for the other one...... He was a nocturnal man, and I didn't want to owe him, so I ordered him to be let out of the palace. ”
"Your Majesty, how can this be done? The people who are waiting for the Queen Mother should be carefully selected, but not everyone can come to the Anning Palace. Ziyan persuaded softly.
"That's enough, just Ande, the emperor, just now the mourning family was trying to tell you something, now Daqing is suffering from embattlement, the mourning family can't help anything in the palace, but will become a burden to the emperor, the mourning family wants to move to the Green Clothes Temple, first, by the way, you can see how Luo Concubine's condition is now, and second, you can also pray for Daqing and the emperor." Before this, every time the Queen Mother went out to worship the Buddha, it could last for a year and a half, but the time to go back to the palace to rest was often the same, this time, but it was only a few months, and she was going to leave the palace again?
This move, even Ziyan was surprised, but she didn't expect that the Queen Mother actually took the initiative to ask to leave the palace, did she really want to pray for the emperor, or did she have another plan? The narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at the Queen Mother without a trace.
Cang Linchen naturally subconsciously refused, "Queen Mother, you want to go out to pray for blessings, Erchen has never objected, but recently, the Queen Mother, your phoenix body is not safe, how can Erchen rest assured that you go out like this?" ”
"It's enough to have Ande and Mo leave to accompany the mourning family." The Queen Mother sighed lowly, walked to the palace gate, looked at the white sky outside, and said softly: "Seeing that the sky is going to snow again, the mourning family once thought that blood is thicker than water, and no matter how big things are, as long as you two brothers work together, you will definitely achieve great things." However, I didn't expect that in the end, it was your two brothers who took the lead in fighting to the death. King Jing will actually pinch your lifeline and threaten you......" Speaking of this, the Queen Mother suddenly turned her head and looked at Cang Rinchen.
"You promise to mourn the family, no matter whether the result is to lose or win this time, don't kill each other, King Jing is just competitive by nature, not a hopeless villain, he is your brother after all."
"The queen mother is too worried, Erchen never thought of killing the emperor's brother, he is right, as an emperor, I have really never done anything for Daqing's country, but the emperor's brother, who has been fighting abroad for many years, shedding blood and sweat for Daqing." Cang Linchen said in a deep voice: "This time, not only for the throne, but also for Daqing, this battle, I have to go." ”
The Queen Mother's eyes were red, "You also have to promise the queen mother, you must not have an accident, you have to come back alive, the queen mother will kneel in front of the green lantern to pray for you, hoping that God will bless me." ”
"Queen Mother, it's better to let the concubines accompany you, there are many people on the road to take care of you, and the emperor can rest assured."
"No need." The Queen Mother refused coldly, "The guards outside are carefully selected by the queen, and they will take care of you on the road, you should rest assured, the emperor is about to go on the expedition, you still stay in the palace to watch the harem for the mourning family, and someone has to stay here to preside over the overall situation." After speaking, he glanced at Ziyan without a trace, and sarcastically, your people are watching the mourning family, what else do you have to worry about?
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Cang Linchen had no choice but to agree.
