Wanying sat in a warm sedan chair, stepping on the foot stove under her feet, holding the hand stove in her hand, wrapped tightly up and down, only her two eyes were exposed.

From Zichen Hall to Wenxian Palace, it takes about a quarter of an hour to walk, and when it comes to Wenxian Palace, it is already the time to hold the lamp. The Queen Mother had already asked the palace maids to clean up at noon, so when Wanying went in, she didn't have the dust as she thought.

Pushing open the palace door, the warmth of fragrant and smooth spring came to her face, Wanying smelled a few times, couldn't smell the name of the spice, stepped into the main hall, the queen mother came into view, sat in a chair and waited for Wanying.

Seeing the Queen Mother, Wanying didn't care about the wide clothes, ran straight over, knelt under the Queen Mother's knees and kowtowed, but was stopped in her arms by the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, it was originally Wanying who was supposed to go to see you first, but Wanying didn't understand the rules and let your old man come over." Wanying knelt in the arms of the Queen Mother, whining and crying like a child.

The Queen Mother patted Wanying, and said with tears in her eyes: "Child, it was my mother's carelessness that made you feel wronged." ”

Wanying originally felt that she was wronged, but after hearing what the Queen Mother said, she was not so aggrieved. There are fewer grievances, but there are more and more tears in my eyes.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother......"

"Good boy, cry if you want to."

Every time the Queen Mother said a word, it seemed to open a door valve, and Wanying's tears were like a landslide and a crack, covering the sky and leaving.

Yun Niang put down the burden in her hand and retreated with the palace maids in the palace, in the huge palace room, there were only Wanying and the Queen Mother, and the fragrant warm current sandwiched between the two.

"Child, my mother can't bear to persuade you not to cry, but you are still in confinement, and you cry a lot of tears, and you will not be able to see when you are old."

The Queen Mother wiped the tears from Wanying's eyes, pulled Wanying to lie on the couch, folded the quilt, and moved a chair to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Queen Mother, you sit on the chair, Wanying can't lie on the bed."

"Silly child, how can you be confined if you are in confinement, if you don't lie in bed? Let's not stick to these false courtesies. ”

Wanying thought of what Prince Gong said during the day, and stuck to the window to watch Prince Gong persuade everyone to retreat, no need to guess, everything was the Queen Mother who helped Wanying out of the siege. The Queen Mother came to find her in person, and she must have something to say. Wan Ying sat at the head of the bed, leaned on the backrest, and said gratefully: "Queen Mother, Wan Yingfu caused such a big storm as soon as she returned to the palace, and she made you worry about it!" I'm really sorry. ”

The Queen Mother shook her head lightly and said lovingly: "Silly child, if you don't plan for your children, is it still a mother?" We girls are not allowed to say sorry for such extraneous words! My mother knows what is going on, you can take care of the overall situation, and my mother wants to thank you. ”

"The Queen Mother thanks me, didn't you kill the child!"

"It was the mourning family who deliberately called the emperor away, and asked Prince Gong and He Youan to persuade you, and the concubine also asked Prince Gong to say that she had wronged you."

Being a concubine is certainly a little aggrieved, but now that the situation is like this, Wanying can't ignore it.

"Queen Mother, I am not wronged. In fact, the queen, I don't care about the concubine, I don't dare to say that I haven't thought about regaining the queen's position at all, my father's death is not clear, I can only see the mountains by standing on the queen's seat. ”

"You can say these heartfelt words to the mourning family, and the mourning family is very useful. It proves that the mourning family did not look away. The mourning family came over tonight, and I have something to tell you. ”

"Queen Mother, please speak."

"Child, the murderer of your father, the mourning family probably knows in their hearts."

Wan Ying straightened up all of a sudden, leaned over and threw herself beside the Queen Mother and asked, "Queen Mother, who did you tell Wan Ying?" ”

The Queen Mother pulled Wanying distressedly, and said earnestly: "Child, you listen to what the mourning family told you." ”

Wanying guessed what the Queen Mother wanted to say, and before the Queen Mother could speak, she knelt on the ground and asked the Queen Mother to tell her who her father's murderer was.

"Son, you get up and lie back on the bed." The Queen Mother tried to pull Wanying to the bed.

Wanying stubbornly knelt on the ground, looked at the Queen Mother pitifully, and begged: "Queen Mother, you just look at my father's loyalty to the court all his life, and Wanying gave birth to two grandchildren for you, tell Wanying, who killed my father!" ”

The Queen Mother couldn't be stubborn about Wanying, but she couldn't destroy the overall situation in her heart, so she could only stand in place, grab Wanying's arm and say: "Child, the mourning family is really ruthless to tell you this, but the mourning family can't help but tell you." The mourners want to beg you. ”

Wanying shook her head, tears splashed and said, "The Queen Mother doesn't ask me, don't." Wanying didn't listen! ”

The Queen Mother used all her strength, pulled Wanying to the bed, sat in front of Wanying, and pleaded: "Child, do you think the mourning family doesn't want to kill them?" It's easiest to kill them, but now is not the time. ”

"No, the revenge of killing my father is not shared. The Queen Mother didn't help Wanying, Wanying went to find the murderer herself! ”

"Three years, three years later, the mourning family personally helped you take care of them."

"No, Queen Mother, Wanying can't wait for a day, every day she waits is like a thousand ants devouring her heart, such a day, Wanying can't bear it for a day, let alone three years."

The Queen Mother explained earnestly: "The mourning family knows your feelings, but now is not the time for revenge, the mourning family is begging you for the sake of the country and the society, and for you." ”

Wanying shook her head arbitrarily, and said aggrievedly: "Queen Mother, if you don't let me be the queen, I agree, because I didn't care about these vain titles, as long as I am in love with the emperor, whether it is the queen or the concubine, I don't care." ”

"Child, the mourning family knows. You have been wronged. ”

"But I can't bear the fact that my father died in vain, it's been half a year, and I haven't forgotten a day, and the reason why I gritted my teeth and survived was because I wanted to avenge my father."

Wanying's words, even if she doesn't say them, can the Queen Mother still not know?

The Queen Mother has the Queen Mother's plan, and the Queen Mother knows that with Wanying's current power, she can't fight those devils hiding in the shadows, so she can only persuade Wanying to stay still, recuperate, wait for the time to come, and then wipe out the devils.

"Child, you want to take revenge, and the mourning family also wants to take revenge, but at the moment, even the mourning family is not 100% sure that they can destroy the enemy, will it backfire if you act rashly like this?"

"Even if I die, I will avenge my father!"

Wanying said with great ambition, but the Queen Mother shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Silly child, death is the easiest." When you die, the people who hurt you and your father will laugh, and your father will cry in heaven, do you think it's worth it? ”

"Queen Mother, you are the Queen Mother, Liulang is the Emperor, can't even you fight them?" Wan Ying expressed the doubts in her heart.

The Queen Mother looked at Wanying and said with difficulty: "The Queen Mother and the Emperor are high, but they are just mortals, others see us as rich and powerful, but is this really the case?" ”

The Queen Mother shook her head, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped the tears from the corners of Wanying's eyes, and said, "Child, don't be angry with the mourning family and the emperor, what the mourning family said is true." It's not that the mourning family doesn't help you, it's precisely because the mourning family wants to help you that you will act three years later, and now is really not the time. ”

Wanying choked back tears, but she still couldn't accept the Queen Mother's admonition. Biting your lip and pinning your head to the side.

"Child, the royal family is like this, and the imperial power is also like this, they all say that the emperor is the son of heaven and can do anything. But the mourners tell you that from ancient times to the present, there is no emperor who is not restrained, and no emperor can do whatever he wants. The overlord of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, at the beginning of his accession, did not act according to the will of the scholar clan; Tang Xuanzong, the lord of the Tang Dynasty, obviously didn't want to kill Yang Guifei, but what could he do? The six armies were helpless, and they died before turning their eyebrows. Concubine Yang will not die, and the Sixth Army will not send it. Tang Xuanzong has monstrous power, what is the use? ”

Wanying understands the queen mother's good intentions, but the sudden death of the master is Wanying's eternal heartache.

"Queen Mother, when I collected my father's body, my father's body was already stinking, Queen Mother, it was a hot June, my father was broken, there was no end to the meat, and he hung on the city gate tower for a day and a night. What kind of hatred is there to be so cruel? ”

The Queen Mother heard for the first time about the situation when the Master died tragically, and this meeting was obviously not expected by the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, there is no way, I can only cremate my father. Before my father's ashes returned to the palace, I carried them with me every day, and as long as I lived, I would definitely avenge my father. ”

"Good boy, the mourning family knows that you are wronged and resentful in your heart, but the mourning family still has to say, the mourning family still has to persuade, the mourning family does not tell you those stories of lying on the salary and tasting courage, the mourning family only tells you one thing, if you still can't agree to the three-year period after listening, the mourning family will no longer force you."

"Queen Mother, everything can be waited, it can be slowed down, but the revenge of killing her father, Wanying can't wait for a day."

"You listen to the mourning family, after the mourning family finishes speaking, if you still want to take revenge, the mourning family will never stop you."

Wanying was no longer stubborn, nodded obediently, and looked at the Queen Mother expectantly, waiting for the Queen Mother to tell her what was going on? However, Wanying had already planned in her heart, no matter what the Queen Mother said, she would not change her decision, never.

"Do you know the name of this incense that the mourning family lit in your palace tonight?"

Wanying took a deep breath of the aroma, shook her head and replied, "I don't know, please guide Wanying from the Queen Mother." ”

"Actually, it's not a spice, it's just the leaves of the silver plum blossom, which are dried and thrown directly into the incense burner."

"Silver plum leaves, it smells so good, light and light, if there is nothing, it is ethereal and long, there is fresh and far-reaching, just smell it, you feel refreshed, relaxed and comfortable."

"Do you know the meaning of the fragrance of silver plum leaves?"

Wanying burns countless incense, the world's well-known spices, allusions and meanings can be at your fingertips, but I don't know the meaning of silver plum leaves. Wanying shook her head, not understanding what the Queen Mother wanted to say.

"This incense was told to the mourning family by the mother of the mourning family."

"Old lady?"

"No, the old lady is the adoptive mother of the mourning family, and the mourning family is talking about the mourning family's own mother."

"Mother-in-law?"

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "'Don't be afraid of clouds to cover your eyes'." It is the true meaning of silver plum leaves. This is what the mourning family's own mother told the mourning family. ”
