Chapter 372: Husband and Wife Night Talk
When the saint came, it was already the beginning of night, and the palace maids in front of the gate of the Ganlu Palace, who were about to be bolted, hurriedly prostrated on both sides, panicked in their hearts, they had not taken over the holy car at this time for many years, but they didn't know what it was for today.
Over the years, the saint and the queen of heaven have long been in love with each other, often do not come to the Ganlu Hall once for several months, even if they come to the Ganlu Hall after the next dynasty to discuss the affairs of the court with the Queen of Heaven, they will leave after a while, and at this time they are indeed surprised to receive the holy car.
When the queen of heaven in the hall listened to the ceremony, the holy car had already entered the jade steps in front of the hall, and the two rows of octagonal glass wind lanterns reflected the snow night as if it were day, and the eunuchs hurriedly spread out the carpet and greeted the holy car to the temple.
The queen of heaven was not surprised, smiled and instructed Xu Siyan: "I'm afraid that I haven't had dinner yet, so let the chef prepare another hot soup and send it over." ”
The husband and wife have been cold for many years, but she still remembers his preferences after all.
Xu Siyan retreated quietly, but the queen of heaven straightened her dress and helped the palace maid to get up and go out of the palace to greet her.
The saint's face was very ugly, and it looked particularly gloomy on a gloomy snowy night, he looked at the queen who was wearing a thin homely dress in front of him, and his body was much thinner, he frowned and said in a low voice: "Get up, it's windy and snowy outside, let's go into the temple and talk." ”
The queen of heaven didn't ask much, got up and helped the palace maid to follow him towards the palace.
It wasn't until he entered the warm hall and sat down on the couch that the saint's face looked better, but he still frowned, looking at the prosperous charcoal basin burning by the couch for a long time and did not speak again.
The queen of heaven was not in a hurry to ask, but turned her head and instructed Xu Siyan: "Let people put the food, the saint wants to stay here to eat, and then serve a pot of pear blossom stuffing, and I will accompany the saint to have a few drinks." ”
This made the saint a little surprised, and he glanced at the queen of heaven: "You are in good health, don't you worry about eating and drinking?" ”
The queen of heaven smiled and said: "After walking the water some time ago, I felt lighter, and today it is rare for the saint to come to the Ganlu Hall for dinner, so as before, I accompanied the saint to have a few drinks, and I can't say that the idea on my brow is lighter." ”
The sage was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly for a while: "What I said is that in the past, you were by my side, explaining everything, and thinking about me. ”
These words are often said when they were affectionate and meaningful, when the saint first came to the court, the emperor left many old ministers in the court, and there were many restrictions on the saint, every time he went down to the court, the saint was angry, depressed, only when he arrived at the Manna Palace, the queen of heaven accompanied by the left and right to drink and talk can slightly relieve a little, so that the annoyance between his eyebrows dissipated.
But this was more than ten years ago, and they were no longer the loving couple they were back then, and they were only left in this honorable name.
The queen of heaven chuckled: "It's just that the concubine is older, not as delicate as she was back then, I'm afraid the saint doesn't like it, not to mention that there have been a lot of newcomers in the palace over the years, a few days ago, Han Guifei also told me that Sun Baolin worships the Bodhisattva in the hall every day, burns incense and prays, and looks forward to giving the saint another heir." ”
Hearing her talk about Han Guifei, the sage's face, which was originally immersed in memories, sank again, and said coldly: "Where are they looking forward to me, I'm afraid that they are looking forward to the wealth of the sky, and the Tang Dynasty will fall into their hands!" ”
As soon as these words were spoken, the face of the queen of heaven suddenly changed greatly, and she hurriedly got up and bowed upright in front of the saint: "The concubine never dared to have such a heart-wrenching thought, although she has been in the back position all these years, she is still looking forward to sharing the worries of the saint, but this body is ...... After all, I am afraid that I will not be able to do what I said in the oath back then. ”
It was difficult to hide her choked words in her words, and her face without fat powder was slightly sad and gentle, which was different from the appearance of the bright ** people in the past, and such a diva under the light taught people to sigh and pity.
Even the saints are a little moved, once the strongest woman in the past shows weakness, even the hard-hearted will inevitably be moved.
He sighed and asked Liu An to step forward and help the queen to get up: "I know that although you and I are not as good as back then over the years, you have never had the slightest intention of rebellion." ”
He also knew that with the power of the Queen of Heaven in the previous dynasty and the power in the palace, if he really had two hearts, he was afraid that he would not be able to sit in the court so safely for many years, but he had always been awkward in his heart and refused to think about it.
This time, it forced him to think.
He thought of the reward he received after ordering people to strictly investigate in the Taiji Palace, and he was furious: "It's just that not everyone in this palace is like you, and there are still many people who harbor evil intentions and plots!" ”
He slapped the case indignantly: "By paying homage to the emperor's tomb, he dares to implement the art of the town, intending to destroy the dragon vein of the emperor's tomb, damage my Tang foundation, and then harm my and your lives, so as to ascend to the sky in one step, and want to control the world steadily!" If they hadn't verified them one by one, I would never have imagined that I would have been blind for so many years, trusted and reused them for so many years, and almost ruined the society! ”
The queen of heaven clutched her chest, her face pale: "The saint said this...... Is it someone from the inner palace? ”
The saint looked at her: "You don't believe it? I don't believe it, but no one else but her can have such ability, and she has harbored evil intentions by my side for many years, and now she is about to get what she wants, and I and you are not both critically ill, and they are almost losing their lives. ”
"Who is it?" The queen of heaven took a bite of tea soup through Xu Siyan's hand, and said slowly, "Isn't Mo Zhaorong, who murdered the emperor's heir before, already ......?"
Speaking of Mo Zhaorong, the sage's face darkened a little: "I have already asked people to thoroughly investigate the Shang Palace Bureau, and they have already checked clearly, Mo Zhaorong was framed, she did not attack the imperial heir in Sun Baolin's womb, everything was done by Han Guifei." ”
This is even more of a pale face of the Queen of Heaven, and she stammered: "Concubine Han...... How could it be her, she has never been polite and submissive, and she has been promoted to a concubine, how can she be ......"
Looking at her stunned appearance, the anger on the saint's face disappeared a little, and after all, he felt that he was not the only one who didn't know anyone, and nodded: "It's her, as well as Han Yan's family and relatives, it was the Han family who framed Mo Zhaorong first, killed the imperial heir in Sun Baolin's womb, and took the opportunity of the emperor's tomb to pay homage to the emperor's tomb, and ordered someone to use the art of the town, cursed me and you to fall ill one after another, and provoked the relatives to write to protect Han Yan as the prince of the country, so that after your death, she can smoothly ascend to the throne, and then seek to die, she will be the queen mother, and the Han family will naturally be on the rise." ”
The queen shook her head again and again, looking incredulous: "It's just that the Han family has no heirs, isn't it ...... for her to be like this?"
Speaking of this, the sage sighed weakly and shook his head: "It has been ascertained that King Chen Liuwang has been in contact with her very frequently these days......"
He couldn't say it anymore, it was the prince he had high hopes for, but he colluded with the Han family privately behind his back, obviously hoping that he would die sooner, so that he could ascend to the throne with the support of the Han family.
The queen didn't say anything for a long time, obviously shocked by the news.
After a long time, she sighed softly, with an indescribable heaviness, and got up again to bow down: "It is really ...... to ask the sage to cure the concubines and investigate the crimes of unknown people, and to protect the Han family as a noble concubine, and to think about recommending Han Yan as the prince of the country."
She couldn't go on, so she could only shake her head again and again, full of remorse.
The saint looked at her, and his heart was even more light, so that he felt that he had steps to go down, and he would not feel confused because of the affairs of the Han family.
His tone slowed down even more, and he said softly: "Is this your fault, you are also for me, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, you will be confused by the traitor, now is the time to deal with the traitor!" ”
