Chapter 16: Mother and Son
There are just too many people.
Several other maids waited outside with Lin Zhenzhen and Lin Baosheng, and Lin Zhenzhen's two personal maids, Qiu Xiang and Qiu Yue, took the lead, relying on their flexible bodies and squeezing in hard.
Unsurprisingly, there were bursts of curses from the crowd.
"Squeeze what, squeeze it, it's going to die!"
"Ahh Who stepped on my feet? me out! ”
"Quality! Can you pay attention to the quality! ”
……
Lin Zhenzhen listened to the shouting and scolding in the crowd outside, and rolled his eyes helplessly.
Her two maids are too hard!
After a while, Qiu Xiang and Qiu Yue came out with the news they had gotten.
Unexpectedly, there was another burst of swearing.
"The slave knows! It's really an accident, it's still a big deal! Qiu Xiang and Qiu Yue ran up to them, their faces still flushed with excitement.
Obviously, they felt that the news they had gotten in exchange for at the risk of being squeezed to death and scolded to death this time was worth it!
"What's the big deal? Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly. Seeing their faces full of excitement, the other maids also asked with interest.
"It's really a big deal!" Qiu Xiang spoke first, with a mysterious look on her face, which was appetizing.
Then, under the constant urging of several maids, Qiu Yue couldn't help but open her mouth and dropped a bombshell, "The Queen Mother has died!" ”
Sure enough, it's a big deal.
This is a matter of heaven!
"Huh? No way? When? ”
"Didn't the Queen Mother just celebrate her fiftieth birthday, why did she suddenly die?"
"yes, did you say why?"
The maids were chattering, and they all thought it was incredible.
Lin Zhenzhen also felt incredible.
She didn't expect that she would be able to hear the news of her death with her own ears while she was alive.
The Queen Mother died.
She's dead.
Although she had already asked the maid about the current year and day as early as a few days ago, and knew that she was still in her original world, and even time was parallel, she guessed that she was dead.
But...... When she heard the news with her own ears, she still had a feeling of trance and unreality.
She's dead...... Lu Xingzhi is really dead.
"Oh, the notice didn't say how the Queen Mother died, who can tell what is going on in this palace?" Qiu Xiang looked unimpressed, and continued: "The notice mainly says that the queen mother has died, and the emperor is heartbroken, and ordered a national funeral, asking the people not to feast and marry within three months, stop all entertainment, and even push back the flower festival!" ”
"Huh? No way? Hasn't our house been preparing for so long in vain? ”
"That's it, the queen mother collapsed, and the people in the palace were sad, what does it matter to our people?"
"Shhhh
"And that's not all!" Qiu Xiang said with a mysterious expression again, "Do you know why there are so many people on the street today? As he spoke, he didn't wait for anyone to answer, so he immediately said: "That's because the emperor not only ordered the whole country to mourn, but also granted amnesty to the world!" All states and counties are required to release prisoners other than those on death row. You say, strange or not? The Queen Mother collapsed, and it is not a happy event, why do you want to amnesty the world? ”
"That's what you said, it's really strange to look at it this way."
"The emperor's mind is really unpredictable, is it to accumulate blessings for the queen mother?"
"Definitely! The Queen Mother is the emperor's biological mother, and the emperor must be heartbroken to do so! ”
A few maids, you said a word, and no one noticed Lin Zhenzhen's suddenly pale face.
Heartbroken?
Oh, with their mother-son relationship, will the emperor be heartbroken by her death?
She thought that in the emperor's place, her death would only be turned lightly and would not make a wave.
Unexpectedly, the emperor did so many things for her death.
The whole country mourned, like a great sorrow.
Amnesty to the world, it seems like an uncontrollable ecstasy in my heart.
Such a contradictory approach is very similar to his feelings for her.
She once thought, did the emperor love her mother?
promised yes, it should have been loved, but in countless indifferent and harsh eyes, it has probably already turned into resentment.
If you want to say that Lu Xingzhi is the most sorry person in his life, it must be the current emperor.
She didn't have a good mother for a day, she just made it her duty to raise the emperor.
Her indifference and strictness must have brought a lot of harm to the emperor, right? But she had no way, no way to love this child like a normal mother.
Because, as long as she sees the emperor's face, it reminds her of her countless humiliating days and nights.
She thought, the emperor must be very resentful of her, right?
So now she's dead.
He was relieved, and so was she.
***********
On the way back, Lin Zhenzhen was in a trance.
Anyway, Fang Cai's news still gave her too much shock.
The past has gone through all kinds of things in her mind.
Those sadness, those pains, seem to be vivid.
But she stretched out her hand and looked at her now young body.
She really understood one thing.
Lu Xingzhi is dead.
Now she is Lin Zhenzhen.
Forest...... Really.
God asked her to be reborn into Lin Zhenzhen, maybe just to tell her that she can become the real her!
"Little Miss, be careful!" Just as her thoughts were wandering, a piercing scream suddenly sounded in her ears, and when she came back to her senses, her body had been slammed into the ground, and then she fell heavily to the ground.
Pain.
Lin Zhenzhen curled up in pain.
"Ahh Are you alright?! The maids were so frightened that they rushed at her.
Lin Baosheng was also frightened and at a loss, crying: "Gillian, Gillian, are you okay?" ”
Lin Zhenzhen moved his body, and found that his limbs could still move, and he shouldn't have fallen to the bone, so he shook his head and comforted them: "I ......"
"Are you alright?" Her words were interrupted by a somber voice.
Lin Zhenzhen subconsciously looked up and saw a boy about eight or nine years old standing in front of her, looking at her condescendingly.
He was in rags, his hair was disheveled, and his face and body were dirty. But he just stood there motionless, with no expression on his face and no emotion in his eyes, but it made the "Empress Dowager Lu", who had read countless people, subconsciously think of an animal-tiger.
This kid is dangerous.
Lin Zhenzhen made a judgment in his heart.
"You're going to die! You don't have long eyes when you walk! If our little lady is damaged, can you afford to pay for it?! But Qiu Xiang, who had no experience in reading people, didn't know what danger the little kid in front of her was, and took the lead in having a seizure.
"If it's broken, I'll pay for my life." As if to verify Lin Zhenzhen's judgment, the kid stared at Qiu Xiang and replied compassionately.
