17 Empress Wu personally summoned (1): Wan'er, don't go
This thunderous bang exploded in Wan'er's heart, and she was incredulous for a while, and asked rhetorically: "Queen?" Summoning me? ”
Old Master Gu confirmed again with an indifferent but serious expression.
"Dare to ask the old bachelor if he knows what is going on?" Wan'er was a little apprehensive, she hadn't come out of the shadow of losing Su'e, and when she encountered such an unpredictable thing, she completely lost her square inch for a while.
The old bachelor has always been kind: "It's just that I'm looking for you to ask questions, and maybe I'll ask you to make a few poems, don't worry too much." The queen is a man of grace. ”
Regarding this comment on the queen fell in Wan'er's ears, she always felt that something was wrong, she couldn't understand what this had to do with "bearing"? But he didn't have the heart and strength to delve into it.
Although the old bachelor's understatement did not make Wan'er completely relieved, there was still some relief, and after thanking her, she chatted for a while, and Wan'er said goodbye to the old bachelor.
One foot had crossed the threshold, and the old bachelor stopped her.
Wan'er turned around, the old bachelor seemed to hesitate, and said earnestly: "Go back and tell your mother about this matter, and listen to what she has to say, but you are the one who makes the decision." There are many things that no one can help with, not even close relatives. ”
Wan'er responded with a "yes", only to feel that there was no taste in her throat.
Speaking of the queen, it is an unattainable yearning in Wan'er's heart, when she is studying in the Inner Literature Museum, whenever she turns the pages of a book that she has never read, she can't help but think, whether the queen has also read this book back then, and whether every yellowed word on it also condenses her smart gaze, touched by her fingertips, time passes, and Wan'er seems to have experienced those ups and downs together...... This fascination is very subtle, and over time, it has even become a powerful spiritual support.
Of course, this is a secret in Wan'er's heart, which she has never told anyone.
When Zheng heard the news from Wan'er's mouth, the shock was beyond the ordinary, and for a second, she felt like she was on the verge of collapse. Many years ago, it was also such a summons without warning, and she lost her family and beloved. Years later, there's no reason why she shouldn't wonder if this will be a repeat of the same old trick. The filth and framing in the palace never need novelty and logic, everything is just a matter of whim.
Once again, she hugged Wan'er tightly, embracing the whole meaning of her life.
"Wan'er, don't go, okay?" Zheng struggled to restrain his emotions.
Wan'er only asked three words: "Why?" ”
Zheng deliberately smiled and pretended to be relaxed: "Companion Jun is like a companion tiger, you are so young, and you have never seen anything in the world, I am afraid that you can't say everything you want, and you must not know much about those etiquettes, for fear of offending Tianyan, you won't even beg for mercy...... A-Niang is worried about ......"
"Auntie, I'm not that unbearable!" Wan'er interrupted her mother's words and protested, "A-Niang, don't say you're worried, why aren't Wan'er worried?" However, if the queen wants to summon her, how can she go if I want to, and go if she wants to? We don't have a choice, no one gives us that power. ”
Zheng understood this truth, and slowly let go of the hand that was holding Wan'er, as if he was a different person, indifferent and resolute: "Wan'er, my mother knows that you have been secretly vowing to get out of this court, and in your eyes, the court is dark, I am afraid that it will make you feel depressed and desperate even more than the palace maid's tomb." I can't decide anything for you, I can only pray for you in my heart. Even if you are in a desperate situation, my mother can only do so today. If one day, Wan'er wants to hate and complain, blame Destiny. ”
Wan'er bit her lower lip and said with some hatred: "Although I don't know why I have been here since I can remember, I am sure that no one is destined to be born in the court, and I am definitely not trapped here, I don't want to be the next Su'e, I even want to be another-" The words buried in my heart came to an abrupt end, and there was silence around me.
