Chapter 179: Peace with One Another
Zhuang Chenchen sat in Fengluan Palace for a while, listening to the imperial doctor talk about the Queen Mother's injury, and his heart was slightly suffocated.
Even if the Queen Mother wants to control the power of the harem and interfere with his imperial power, it seems that she will not end up like this. The mother of the abolished emperor also tried in vain to interfere in the government affairs for the purpose of her mother's family's prominence, isn't it also a good time to live in the harem?
When it's her turn, why can't she be as broad-minded as the abolished emperor, and let her "love the power" within the controllable range?
Thinking about it this way, Zhuang Xianchen seems to feel that he is very unfilial.
Cen Mu Ning poured tea and sent it to him, and his tone was soft: "It's all the concubine's fault, if it weren't for the concubine's attachment to the past, it would involve the queen mother." The emperor would not be furious and bring such terrible consequences. ”
He took the teacup and took a sip from his lips.
Cen Muning saw that he was silent, and guessed that he was still worried about the Queen Mother. "The concubine has asked the deputy court to prepare the best medicine, which will definitely alleviate the pain of the queen mother and allow the queen mother to recover sooner."
"The queen has a heart." Zhuang Yanchen was a little suffocated in his heart, and he didn't say much.
"It's not too early, the concubines will accompany the queen mother here, the emperor and the queen mother might as well go back to the palace as soon as possible to rest." Ruan spoke here at the right time, showing her gentle and well-behaved appearance.
"You are inconvenient, you should go back to the palace and go to bed early." Cen Mu said with warm eyes: "The queen mother has not woken up yet, and she can't do without people around her, so it's better to let the concubine serve here tonight." Wait for tomorrow morning, let Concubine Ying clean up some softness and live in Fengluan Palace. ”
"Queen Mother, this ...... I'm afraid that's not right. "Soft Er couldn't ask for it, but deliberately acted like he didn't dare to offend. If she can live in the Fengling Palace, until her child is born, the queen will have no chance to take the child from the queen mother.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother needs to be taken care of by someone who cares, and the concubine is heavy, so it is inconvenient to come and go in such a cold weather. It's better to let Concubine Ying live in Fengluan Palace, saving a lot of trouble. Cen Mooning said seriously.
"It's fine." Zhuang Chenchen nodded: "Just do what the queen says." ”
"The concubine obeys." Ruan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Yin Li came in, but stood aside without saying a word.
Zhuang Chenchen only glanced at him, and knew that something must have happened. "Then do as the queen says."
"The concubine sends the emperor." Cen Mu Ning got up to see him off, his face full of gentleness.
"Watch your body too." Zhuang Chenchen gently squeezed her shoulder, and then turned to leave.
The soft man on the side failed to enter his eyes at all, and the loss in his heart can be imagined.
"Congratulations." Cen Mu Ning looked at her calmly and only said these three words.
"The queen's mother, the concubines can't understand it." Concubine Yingrao smiled, her face full of doubts: "Where does this joy come from?" ”
"Isn't it a happy event that you can live in this Fengluan Hall as you wish?" Cen Muning looked at her stomach with a smile: "Autumn is pregnant, and now it is spring, stay up until the end of spring and the beginning of summer, and the melons will be ripe." When the time comes, you can naturally leave this child with the Queen Mother to raise. Even if the emperor once said that he would hand it over to the palace, he would not be able to do so because of the queen mother's face. Isn't that the ending you'd most like to see? ”
Ruan Er's face was a little bad, but she just smiled lightly: "Niangniang is really far-sighted, and the concubine is stupid, I'm afraid I can't keep up with Niangniang's thinking." The concubines just want to serve the Queen Mother well and do their best for the Queen Mother. ”
Speaking of this, Ruan Er smiled a little wickedly: "The queen mother was also unwell a few days ago, and now she is in love with the emperor as before, and the phoenix body will definitely recover." The concubine expected that at this time, the mother would no longer have a grudge against the queen mother for the unpleasant things in the past, right? ”
"Bold." Qingli snorted coldly: "Speculating about the thoughts of the queen mother, is it the etiquette that a concubine should have." Concubine Yingniang, don't you think that you can speak without seriousness because you are pregnant! ”
"How dare you." Ruan Errao smiled: "It's just that the concubine found that the emperor still has some guilt about Niangniang." Even if the mother is willing to give in first and bow to the queen mother, if there is no previous matter, you did not put pressure on the emperor, and the queen mother will not be injured because of the negligence of the slave. In the end, this matter has nothing to do with you. Once there is any rumor outside that damages the reputation of the emperor's benevolence and filial piety, do you think the emperor's anger will be reduced because of your compromise? Every time the emperor gets close to you again, will there be a thorn in his heart? ”
Speaking of this, she raised the smile of the victor, and the smugness was no worse than when she was pregnant with the imperial heir.
"Concubine Yingniang, you ......" Qingli was about to step forward to teach her a few words, but she heard the queen laugh sneeringly.
"If this palace is dedicated to the emperor, today's all kinds of tricks are exactly your vain attempt to rely on the grievances between the palace and the queen mother to ascend to the throne. How do you think the emperor will treat you? Do you feel sick every time you see you? When Cen Muning said this, there was a disgust in her eyes.
The smug smile on Rouel's face faded for a moment. "The queen mother shouldn't want to wronged her concubines, right?"
"Why?" Cen Muning looked at her and didn't show her thoughts at all.
"Do you think that the queen mother's injury was arranged by the concubine?" With resentment towards the queen, Ruan Er said in a cold tone: "The concubine has never done anything like that, you can't plant it on the concubine!" ”
"It's a bit of a silver here." Cen Muning picked up the teacup in her hand and took a sip before she said with a smile: "How could this palace ever say that you did such a thing?" In front of the emperor, didn't they all inquire clearly. It's just a careless who derelict her duty and brought disaster to the Queen Mother. Why are you in such a hurry to clear yourself? ”
Ruan Er was depressed by her choking heart: "The queen's eloquence is one of the best in this harem." The concubine was not clever in the first place, and her status was humble, so she naturally did not dare to compete with her mother. Say whatever you want. ”
She hugged her stomach and frowned: "The concubine will go back to the palace to pack her things well, and tomorrow morning, she will rush to replace the mother and serve the queen mother." ”
"Okay." Cen Muning watched her leave unwillingly, and then slowly withdrew her gaze. "It's not Concubine Ying, that's the Queen Mother."
"What does Niangniang mean is that the Queen Mother is making a bitter trick?" Qingli was slightly unhappy. "Then she's really paid for it. Niangniang, the slave maid said a not very nice truth, the appearance of the master, I can indeed see some remorse, think about it, just because of the palace slave rotation matter, you and she are the same thoughts, he will also be angry with you. As Concubine Ying said, the emperor will still prick a thorn in his heart, after all, the queen mother is the emperor's mother. ”
"yes." Cen Mu smiled at it: "That's why I have to have a good attitude." ”
"It's hard to be a mother." Qingli sighed.
"But I always find it a little weird." Cen Muning took her hand and walked in slowly: "Do you think, even if the Queen Mother doesn't do this, the emperor is her own son after all, and after a while, she will inevitably withdraw this will and restore the former worship of Fengluan Palace." There is really no need to rush at this time to provoke my relationship with the emperor in such a way. Even if she succeeds, what if the emperor gets a thorn in his heart? The charcoal burned her own flesh and skin, and if anything went wrong, it was she who suffered. Just for the sake of being strong, is it so cruel to yourself? ”
"That's what the mother said." Bingling thought quietly for a while before she spoke: "The slave always feels that the queen mother is not even willing to give the emperor a chance to breathe. Between mother and son, it should definitely not be like this. What's more, our emperor is indeed not a person who can be threatened. I always feel that the Queen Mother is too anxious. ”
"What the hell is going on, it will soon be known." Cen Mooning said to Bingling: "Ask Helian how the medicine is prepared." ”
"The deputy judge is waiting outside, presumably ready." Bingling was allowed to come in.
Helian neatly drugged the unconscious Queen Mother, and carefully blew the peculiar medicinal powder in the bottle into the Queen Mother's nostrils with a very thin bamboo tube on his fingers. After a while, the Queen Mother woke up.
"Someone's ......" Her voice was hoarse and low, and it was uncomfortable to listen to.
Cen Mooning stepped forward with hot water: "The queen mother must be thirsty, this water is just the right entrance." ”
"How are you?" The Queen Mother didn't know where the strength came from, so she sat up suddenly.
The piercing pain made her face change color instantly, and she almost fainted in pain.
"Although I gave you the flowers of the mandala to relieve the pain, the pain to the bones does not mean that you can't feel it at all. So the queen mother, you better take it easy and sit well. Cen Muning asked Bingling and Qingli to help the Queen Mother well, and then she sat down next to the bed. Drink some water. ”
The Queen Mother stretched out her hand to knock over the cup in her hand.
Cen Muning had already taken precautions and easily dodged. "No matter what is in the hands of the concubine, not every time you knock it over. What's more, Queen Mother, isn't it good for you to keep some strength and fight with your concubines? With such a bitter plan, if something goes wrong, wouldn't it be a cheap concubine for nothing? ”
"Get out." The Queen Mother roared coldly: "Get out!" ”
In other words, the Queen Mother admitted that she did it herself. Cen Mooning put down the cup in her hand and said calmly: "You have always been the queen mother of the emperor and the queen mother of the concubines, if you can live in peace like this, it would be better." But if you have to die for your concubine, your concubine will have to fight. This first step is to let Concubine Ying move into Fengluan Hall to serve you. Tomorrow morning, your safety will involve her honor and disgrace, and whether she is blessed to give birth to the imperial heir safely depends on your favor. ”
"You're so vicious!" The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said these four words, and the green tendons on her forehead looked hideous and terrifying. "How could the emperor take a fancy to you!"
"I don't know where the concubine is very similar to the queen mother. The emperor is used to your appearance, and naturally he is also used to such concubines. Cen Mu Ning said with warm eyes: "If you can recuperate with peace of mind, Concubine Ying can also recuperate with peace of mind, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and there are peaceful days in this palace." If there is any mishap, the concubine will naturally not have peace to enjoy, but I am afraid that the queen mother will lose more than she loses, how to choose, you decide for yourself. ”
Speaking of this, Cen Muning said to the Qingli on the side: "Go and bring the medicine." Tonight, the palace serves the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother has any mistakes tonight, you will go to the emperor tomorrow morning and say that the palace will apologize for her sins. One life pays one life. ”
The Queen Mother's angry mouth was a little crooked: "You vicious slut, the mourning family will not die, you don't want to succeed." ”
"That's good." Cen Mu smiled and smiled: "Then bother the queen mother to apply medicine well, sleep well, and be at peace with each other." ”
