Chapter 167: Greed
The Queen Mother fell ill, this time it was true.
People from the hospital came and went, carefully considering the prescription.
After the poison on Yuehua's body was resolved, he went to the Ruian Palace to ask for peace and serve the decoction in person.
Although the Queen Mother does not want to see herself, but after she is a country, she still has to fulfill her due filial piety, and she must not be neglected.
At this time, the Queen Mother had completely torn off her original fake disguise, and raised her eyebrows at her, with a look of disgust on her face. She felt that Mo Guhan was originally obedient to her words, and the two of them unanimously fought against the Empress Dowager, and there was never a rift. Since Hua entered the palace this month, he has been unhappy repeatedly, and even, yesterday, Mo Guhan said such a sad thing.
The Queen Mother held Shen Xinling's hand tightly in her hand, looking like she wouldn't take the decoction and medicine without her, and the water and rice would not enter.
The holy decree prepared in Mo Guhan's hand was crumpled into a messy rag, and the words of condemnation were not spoken.
He put the little eunuch and Shui Yao in an iron box filled with scrawny mice, and they screamed miserably in it for a day and a night, and when the box was opened, all the onlookers vomited.
Yuehua couldn't bear it, Mo Guhan said that it was for those who had ill intentions and wanted to harm her.
Concubine Ling naturally didn't dare to look at it, she hid in the Ruian Palace tremblingly, guarding the Queen Mother every step of the way. But she had auditory hallucinations, and Shui Yao's screams came into her ears from time to time, tearing her heart.
The Queen Mother slept soundly, and the palace people couldn't hear any movement, and the entire Ruian Palace was very quiet.
Concubine Ling covered her ears tightly, and was shocked to break out in a cold sweat, trembling like chaff.
Mo Guhan has never been so brutal, this time he moved the real fire, it was clear that he was killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, and vented his resentment on Shui Yao's body.
Since then, Concubine Ling has been horrified by rats, and when she hears the slightest movement at night, she will also wake up in shock, sweating profusely, and so frightened that she can no longer sleep.
In the Qingqiu Palace, there have been many things about people eating inside and out, and Yuehua is really a little scared. On the first day she entered the palace, all the people here were eyeing her, and they all tried to put eyeliner around her. Even if the Empress Dowager is ruthless, she can't avoid being unclear.
Yuehua had already been prepared in her heart, and thanks to her own caution, she didn't let these rough servants get close on weekdays, otherwise wouldn't her life be in the hands of others?
Mo Guhan was in charge, saying that he would replace the palace people in the Qingqiu Palace, and select a group of clever people from outside the palace to come in and serve. Yuehua declined, the big waves washed the sand, and now that the palace people in the Qingqiu Palace have gone through this test of life and death, Yuehua believes that they will know how to unite more than before.
Everyone in the palace knows that the queen is favored. Although Concubine Ling has not been demoted now, she is still a high-ranking concubine, but Mo Guhan's eyes when she looks at her are full of coldness and disgust, and others will feel like falling into an ice cave at a glance. That kind of bone-chilling cold, even if it is a passionate flame, it can't warm Mo Guhan's heart.
Today, the entire palace is dominated by the queen's family. The palace people re-examined this gentle and harmless queen mother, and felt puzzled in their hearts. She is usually gentle and kind, and never competes with the concubines, how can she kill all the people around the emperor without blood?
And the Queen Mother on the sickbed understands the threat brought to her by Chu Yuehua better than anyone else, and she also knows how important the power in her hands is.
In the harem, although she does not participate on the surface, everyone in the entire palace knows that the queen mother and the emperor must obey her orders and are afraid of her, who dares to slack off?
I have been in the palace for most of my life, from green and green to gray, and I say that my daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law for many years, and I have nothing but the power of the six palaces.
Now, the old woman arranged Chu Yuehua to be by the emperor's side, if the emperor was more angry, it would be just a matter of having one heart with herself, and he was also hooked by the fox, and he obeyed his words, and did not take her mother seriously.
I'm isolated in the harem, and I don't even have anyone to use. In vain, he spent many years of hard work, leaving Concubine Ling and Concubine He and others by his side, and none of them fought for anger, all of them fought to die and live, and they did not grow, and they were all cleaned up by Chu Yuehua.
The more she thought about it, the more she had a headache, the more she thought about it, the more discouraged she became, couldn't she compare to her as a yellow-haired girl after years of planning?
The power in charge of the six palaces in his hand cannot be lost, and he must hold it tightly. Otherwise, once the Empress Dowager and Chu Yuehua take the opportunity to take it away, they will really have nothing and can only be slaughtered by others. Up and down this palace, who else puts their own queen mother in their eyes?
She was bedridden, still thinking about the affairs of the palace, no matter how big or small, she was in charge of the curtains, and she had to ask the eunuchs for instructions before she could make a decision.
How could Yuehua not know that she was wary and suspicious of herself? Therefore, he only served the decoction diligently and took care of her meticulously. She threw herself a few cold faces, and occasionally sneered, but only as if she didn't see it.
The Queen Mother has been worried about labor and can't get a good life and recuperation, so she lingers on the sickbed, and a serious illness takes more than half a month to gradually improve.
Yuehua didn't care about her past suspicions, she was filial piety in front of the bed, and she didn't say a word about Concubine Ling in front of Mo Guhan, which made Mo Guhan feel more and more guilty. He looked at Yuehua, who was full of tiredness and swallowed his anger at the Queen Mother's pickiness, and tore the holy decree in his hand to smig Concubine Ling to pieces.
Yuehua didn't care at all, and comforted Mo Guhan softly: "The matter has passed, so the emperor doesn't have to worry about it." ”
Mo Guhan rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, his face full of dejection: "I am the emperor." ”
Yuehua raised her hand and traced his eyebrows with her fingertips, stretched out his frowning eyebrows, carefully and attentively: "Just because you are the emperor, what you need to bear and worry about is the whole world, and you can't be willful." ”
Mo Gu stared at Yuehua coldly: "You are also because you are the queen, so you worry more than others, right?" ”
Yuehua was stunned for a moment, and then nodded solemnly: "Yes, just because she is the queen, Yuehua has to hold up the queen's shelf anytime and anywhere, pretend to be calm, pretend to be generous, and see that the emperor favors others, I want to smile, and I want to advise you again and again to treat the sisters in the harem equally." This is the phoenix that the queen should have. ”
"So, are you willing to be the queen?"
Yuehua pretended to think seriously: "I am willing to do it, and I am not willing to do it." ”
Mo Guhan smiled: "Is there such a contradiction?" ”
Yuehua counted on her fingers: "As the queen, I am the wife you are marrying, and the pillow person who will love you for a lifetime." This is not only an orthodox title, but also a responsibility, an honor that other concubines do not have.
I don't want to be the queen, because I also want to be as willful, brutal, jealous as Concubine Ling, and show my true temperament in front of the emperor without hiding it. ”
"You know what? Once, what I wanted to see most was that the queen was jealous for me, so she tried every possible way to annoy you, but you were indifferent, which made me mad several times. ”
Yuehua covered her lips and smiled: "Does jealousy mean that the concubine has you in her body and mind?" ”
Mo Guhan nodded solemnly: "At the very least, if you have been indifferent, you have no heart in your heart." ”
Yuehua suddenly had an impulse in her heart, and immediately blurted out: "If Yuehua tells the emperor that Yuehua wants you to only love Yuehua alone, there is no other beauty in your heart, and the weak water is three thousand, and you only take a scoop to drink, can the emperor do it?" ”
After saying that, she regretted it, and didn't know how she had come up with such a ridiculous idea. This is indeed the deepest longing that she once hid in her heart, eating away at her heart day and night. She tried hard to suppress this desire, so that it would be dark forever, how could she break through the cage and blurt out today?
This is simply impossible, Mo Guhan, as the king of a country, three palaces and six courts, and seventy-two concubines, how could she be the sole favor of her pepper room, and a couple for the rest of her life?
Even though the West Lake is dry and vicissitudes, this is also the most ridiculous wish in the world.
Mo Guhan stared at her for a moment, blazing brightly. Yuehua suddenly woke up, turned over and knelt on the ground: "The emperor spares his life, please forgive the concubine for talking nonsense for a while." ”
Mo Guhan still didn't move, just looked at her very seriously, and the clouds in his eyes were cloudy, dark and uncertain.
There was already sweat oozing out of Yuehua's heart, infiltrating into the palms of the hands, the center of the eyebrows, and the vest.
Mo Guhan suddenly stretched out his hand, helped Yuehua up, and chuckled in a low voice: "Sure enough, women are all greedy." ”
His words made Yuehua panic for several days, thinking about the meaning contained in it. At that moment, Yuehua was even more terrified and a little remorseful.
The joke is too big.
Mo Guhan gently hugged her into his arms, and whispered as if he was talking to himself: "I don't like greedy women very much, the Queen Mother is, and so is the Queen Mother." ”
Yuehua's body froze, why shouldn't she?
Mo Guhan continued to take care of himself: "When I ascended the throne, Chang'an was stable, thanks to the Empress Dowager. It's a pity that she is always very greedy, desperately reusing the people of the Chang family, and allowing them to fight against each other in the DPRK and the Central Party, and do evil, just like the Queen Mother who protected Concubine Ling that day, indiscriminately. ”
Yuehua didn't dare to respond, only listened quietly.
"I think the Queen Mother is good to me, so I have always been obedient to her. But later, I found out that the Queen Mother was very similar to the Queen Mother, and she was just desperately trying to win over her own forces, and again and again to draw the daughters of her confidants and ministers to my side. ”
Yuehua was a little trembling, no wonder when he recommended Chu Mubai, he suddenly had a cold aura all over his body, and he was so cold to himself.
"I don't like scheming smart women, so I didn't want you to enter the palace in the first place, and I made things difficult for you in every way."
Yuehua finally dared to speak, and complained: "The concubine knows." ”
Mo Guhan smiled "hehe": "But I like your cleanliness, clear and transparent, just like the moonlight on the horizon, which is refreshing and pleasant, filtering out all worries and impetuousness." ”
Yuehua's body gradually softened, and her face rubbed against Mo Guhan's arms, like a lazy cat.
Mo Guhan lowered his head and traced her jade-like forehead and Yuandai-like eyebrows with her lips: "So, Yuehua, keep your purity and kindness, and never intrigue like them." In this Forbidden City, there is naturally me who protects you and spoils you, and in the future, no one can give you half of your grievances. ”
Yuehua's body softened a little bit, like a white mutton fat candle scalded by boiling water, slowly melting.
The emperor Chrysostom said, is this speech considered an oath to the sea, and is it a promise to her Chu Yuehua?
Yuehua thought, engraved every word in her heart, and never forgot it for the rest of her life. Moreover, she also wants to be as Mo Guhan said, to be a woman as clean as water, for the rest of her life, without worrying about it or having her hands covered in blood.
Because, Mo Guhan will protect her and will not let her be wronged by others.
Chu Yuehua told herself over and over again in her heart, slowly melting.
Mo Guhan looked at her condescendingly, turning all the dark tides in his heart into passion.
Mo Guhan also said: "Yuehua, in this world, there is nothing I can't afford to give, as long as you dare to ask for it, I can give it." ”
