Chapter Ninety-One: Different
In the prime minister's mansion, there was a dead and cold silence.
Cen Yun's hand holding the tea cup trembled slightly, and he always felt that there were dark clouds overhead.
The fifth aunt's wife, Luo Xinyue, served quietly on the side, and she didn't dare to breathe.
Seeing that the teacup was at the bottom, she served it again. "Master, let's drink a hot cup of tea."
"Change?" Cen Yun looked at her with horizontal eyebrows: "How do you know that this one is suitable for the old man?" If the tea is too hot, or it has become moldy, isn't it because you can't get along with yourself! ”
As soon as Luo Xinyue heard this, she immediately understood that he was not talking about tea. "Master, the concubine is stupid, but she understands a truth. Good birds choose trees to perch. Now that the sky has changed, cold tea is naturally out of place, and only warm tea can keep warm. Even in the summer, warm tea is always better than cold tea. ”
Cen Yun didn't expect her to be so smart, and she even heard the sound outside the strings, and her brows couldn't help but loosen a little. "You mean, it's time for a husband to be at such an opportune time?"
Luo Xinyue hurriedly knelt down, and while beating his legs for him, she lowered her voice and said, "The old man is like a mirror in his heart." The eldest lady is from Mrs. Chu, although the Chu family is now suppressed by the emperor, but the heart is already towards the eldest lady. As long as His Royal Highness King Ruiming receives and pays the court and sets up the emperor, it will be a matter of time before the Chu family turns over. Although the concubine lived in a simple place, she also heard that the young general of the Chu family secretly suppressed the emperor's foreign aid......"
Cen Yun's eyes flashed with a cold light: "You know a lot!" ”
"The lord forgives the sin, and the concubine is also for the mother's family to investigate." Luo Xinyue lowered her voice and said: "The master has been staying in the mansion these days, and he also wants to see the situation clearly. Although the concubine doesn't understand the affairs of the court, she wants to share her husband's worries. ”
"Worry? Very good! Cen Yun asked curiously: "Then according to your meaning, what should you do now?" ”
"This ......" Luo Xinyue thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "Naturally, I want to make my position clear, at this time, Dajue is almost decided." When the old man revealed his identity, he undoubtedly abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. His Royal Highness King Ruiming, even if it is for the sake of the eldest lady's face, it is impossible to make it difficult for you. What's more, most of the old courtiers in the court who are facing the emperor have no real power in their hands, and some are just a mouth and a pen. Master, you are the prime minister in the court, and if you nod your head, you will definitely be able to steadily manipulate the forces in the court, so that His Royal Highness King Ruiming can smoothly achieve his wishes. At that time, Your Highness will naturally trust you. ”
"Where is it so easy." Cen Yun has long seen through Zhuang Jiezhou and Zhuang Chen, one of them is suspicious and narrow-minded, the other is ruthless, and no one will give their sincerity to these courtiers. Only the country and the imperial power are unchanged for ten thousand years. Who will be gullible to whom? ”
"My lord is right, even if there is no real trust. As long as the lord is still the pawn that can clamp down on the court, no matter who is the emperor, you are indispensable. Moreover, the eldest lady married Ruiming Wangfu, from early spring to summer, but in just a few months, she easily captured the heart of His Royal Highness King Ruiming...... As long as the eldest lady is willing to plan from it, why not worry that His Royal Highness will reuse or even attach himself to you, master. ”
This is what Cen Yun is most worried about. He hated Cen Mooning so much that he really killed her. It was also he who personally asked the Queen Mother for marriage, so he sent her to Ruiming Palace, as a concubine. Now I have a request for her, but I don't know what kind of face I want to see......
"Master, the concubine knows your thoughts." Luo Xinyue said gently: "Blood is thicker than water, and the eldest lady will remember your years of nurturing grace." What's more, now, you have welcomed Mrs. Chu back to her home, set up a god tablet to worship every day, and allowed her to be buried in the ancestral tomb, which is already the best relief for the eldest lady. The rest of the things, as long as they are slowly resolved, can still be maneuvered. The concubine is willing to do her best to ease the situation for the lord and the eldest lady. ”
"What do you do?" Cen Yun looked at her puzzled.
"The eldest lady has always cherished her younger siblings. If it weren't for Mrs. Guo secretly doing bad things at that time, making the concubine suspect that the eldest lady wanted to harm Mu Chuan, she wouldn't have caused so much trouble. But at that time, the eldest lady knew that there was danger, but she still chose to save Mu Chuan, and she knew that she was a good girl with affection and righteousness. It's better to send Mu Chuan to her side to accompany her often, so that she can feel at ease. ”
"You're willing to do it." Cen Yun frowned and looked at her. "That's your own son."
"The eldest lady is Mu Chuan's sister, so she will naturally treat him well. Send Mu Chuan to enjoy the blessings, what is the concubine reluctant. Luo Xinyue warmly said: "Over the past year, too many things have happened in the house. Mu Feng is still suffering outside, and two more wives have been killed in the mansion. The concubine only hopes that the master can get through this difficult time and revive our prime minister's mansion. For this layer, the concubine is willing to do anything. ”
Stratus patted the back of her hand and said gently: "Your words are remembered for your husband." The revitalization of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Japan will definitely not treat you badly. ”
Yuan Long coughed lightly outside the door and didn't dare to come in.
Cen Yun heard the movement and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Come in and talk back. ”
"Qi Qi Xiangye, the news that was just sent from the palace, His Royal Highness King Ruiming washed the Golden Palace in blood and killed all the old stubbornness of those user emperors." Yuan Long's face was solemn, because he was concerned about the comfort of the eldest lady. His Royal Highness King Ruiming is so ruthless, will it be bad for the eldest lady?
"Kill them all?" Cen Yun's heart jumped suddenly: "What about the emperor?" How could the Emperor allow him to do this? ”
"Master, the news in the palace says that the queen mother is very sick, and the emperor has always been by her side. also said that in order to heal the queen's mother, Concubine Zhen led the eldest lady to Fengling Palace...... If the lord is the queen's mother, what if ...... Do you think the emperor will be angry and do something to the eldest lady? ”
Cen Yun frowned, and said after a while: "She'll be fine." The old man didn't expect that among so many children, she turned out to be the most slippery and skillful one. If she had seen it earlier, she should have been sent to the palace as a concubine, where would there be this disaster. ”
Yuan Long's heart felt like it had been pricked by a needle. Xiangye always only has his future and glory in his heart, where will he take care of his daughter?
"You hurry up and prepare the carriage and horses, and the old man will enter the palace." Cen Yun thought to himself, he had to behave, even if he didn't intend to shelter this daughter, he had to let this daughter feel that he still had some fatherly affection.
And at this time, Cen Muning was really not very comfortable in the palace.
The queen saw that she couldn't do it, even if she ate the antidote prepared by Concubine Zhen. Zhuang Zhouzhou's eyes were red, and he couldn't wait to kill all the people in front of him.
The first to bear the brunt is Cen Muning.
"Why are you doing this, the jade seal you want has already been handed to you. What more do you want? Zhuang Zhizhou was holding a long sword in his hand, and the blade of the sword was pointed straight at Cen Muning's throat. I can not be the emperor or the emperor, but I can't live without the queen. Cen Muning, if the queen has any mistakes, I will be the first to send you down to the queen's funeral. ”
Concubine Zhen got up and stepped forward, and snatched the jade seal from Cen Muning's hand.
"The emperor is right." Concubine Zhen smiled coldly: "The queen's life is much more important than this piece of jade. Mu Ning, how can you be so ruthless. ”
Cen Muning lightly hooked the corners of her lips: "Life and death are destined for wealth and wealth, and the concubine body is just doing her best to obey the destiny of heaven." ”
She looked at Concubine Zhen's eyes, and suddenly felt that what the Queen Mother said before she died was not wrong at all. Concubine Zhen's hatred for her is no less than that of the Queen Mother. Two people who are fundamentally on the same position, but can have such resentment, is it just because Concubine Zhen is jealous of her beauty? Or resentment that she "took away" her son's heart?
It's just that the concubine has a ghost in her heart! It's her! It must be that she is right.
Cen Muning looked at it, she suddenly turned around and left, not surprised: "Mother, where are you going?" ”
"Naturally, I sent this jade seal to the Golden Palace." Concubine Zhen smiled and closed her mouth: "Mu Ning, you did a good job." The mourning family will definitely tell Yan Chen and posthumously crown you as the queen in the future. ”
Chase the seal!
Hearing these two words, Cen Muning couldn't laugh or cry. She's not dead yet, so why posthumously crown her as the queen. She was able to get this far, and she came out of hatred. Things haven't been done, why let her die!
"Do you hear that?" The tip of Zhuang Yinzhou's sword poked at Cen Muning's skin, stinging slightly. "Your fate is no better. That mother and son, just crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, will not let you live at all. ”
"Your Majesty......" The queen struggled to reach out and grab his hand, but fell off the bed violently.
Zhuang Zhou was so shocked that he even threw away his sword, so he just went to hug her. "Xuanyue, are you okay? Don't worry, I'm here. I will always be with you. ”
"I'm afraid the concubine will have to go first." Xuan Yue clenched her hand tightly, and blood slowly flowed out from the corner of her mouth.
"Cen Muning, you give me the antidote, you hurry up and give me the antidote......" Zhuang Yanzhou hugged the queen and yelled at her viciously.
Cen Muning watched him face the despair of his beloved before he was on the verge of death, and his heartstrings were tense and tight.
"You give me the antidote, I don't blame the past, you can do whatever you want!" Zhuang Xianzhou said to Cen Muning in a begging tone: "As long as the queen can get better, you can do whatever you want." Including my life......"
Cen Mu Ning looked at his face, as if she felt that his sword was really piercing her heart, and the pain was so real.
"Brother Huang has finally figured it out." Zhuang Chenchen broke into the door, and a long sword was like a bolt of lightning, slashing through Cen Muning's afterglow and poking straight into Zhuang Chen's chest.
Cen Mooning covered her eyes and turned her face away in pain.
"Xuanyue, don't worry, it'll be fine." Zhuang Zhizhou couldn't care about the pain, and when he went to hug the queen, he found that she couldn't respond. "Xuanyue...... It's okay, I'll stay with you. ”
Zhuang Chenchen jumped in the air and kicked him on the forehead. "Brother Huang, it's not so easy to die."
Zhuang Zhizhou ate this kick and fainted.
"Come on, go to the prison." Zhuang Yanchen calmly watched everyone deal with this, and there was no wave in his eyes.
Everything is a foregone conclusion, Cen Mooning turned around and walked out slowly, maybe this is the difference between him and Zhuang Xianzhou. If the person who fell there was her, Zhuang Chenchen would be able to fulfill his wish calmly.
