Chapter Seventy-Two: Scheming

On the second day, near lunchtime, Xiang Shen came in and whispered a report, saying that someone from the Empress Dowager's palace had come to spread the word and asked Yuehua to go to Ci'an Palace quickly.

Yuehua was a little worried, knowing that her laziness these days must have made the Empress Dowager unhappy again, and she would inevitably be reprimanded in the past. Reluctantly, he put down the needle and thread in his hand and went to Ci'an Palace.

The Empress Dowager has been unwell for the past two days, and she is taking decoction, and as soon as she enters the gate of Ci'an Palace, there is a pungent smell of medicinal soup.

When Mama Lin saw her, after saying goodbye, she took her to the Empress Dowager's dormitory, and whispered to her to speak carefully, so as not to make the Empress Dowager unhappy.

The Empress Dowager was reclining on the Luohan couch, with a small piece of ointment on her temples and covering it with a wipe on her forehead.

She heard Yuehua's footsteps, flirted her eyelids, and waved her hand to let all the palace people who were waiting in front of her retreat.

Yuehua knelt on the ground in front of her, not daring to get up without an order, her heart was like beating a cowhide drum, full of apprehension.

The Empress Dowager went straight to the point and said to her: "I just received a letter from the emperor yesterday, saying that Jun Jieyu is happy. ”

Yuehua was mentally prepared in advance, and said happily: "Congratulations to the Empress Dowager." ”

The Empress Dowager glanced at her dissatisfiedly: "What is there to congratulate the mourning family?" It's all heartbroken. Fortunately, this pregnant person is just a Jieyu, with a shabby family background, and she can't be on the stage. Otherwise, this royal prince has been said to be a long-term and virtuous since ancient times, and the emperor has not been waiting to see you, if you have nothing to do, you are afraid that your throne will also be shaky. ”

It's only been more than a month since I entered the palace, this, this is inevitably too anxious, right?

"It's Yuehua that is useless, and the Empress Dowager Lao bother."

"It's good to know for yourself." The Empress Dowager half sat up, and wiped her forehead with her hand on the flat square on her head: "The mourning family has thought about this matter over and over yesterday, there are pros and cons, and it depends on how you act." ”

Yuehua didn't know what the Empress Dowager had planned, so she could only say respectfully: "Everything is subject to the instructions of the Empress Dowager." ”

The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction: "The most foolproof plan now is to hurry up before the Empress Dowager and take Jun Jieyu into your Qingqiu Palace." ”

Yuehua couldn't help but raise her head and asked in surprise, "Why?" ”

"First, Jun Jieyu now has a dragon fetus, and she is the favor of the Holy Family, let her live in your Qingqiu Palace, and the emperor will run to you twice.

Second, once Jun Jieyu gives birth to the emperor's heir, you will also have a share of the credit, and the emperor can also know a little affection for you.

The third and most important reason is this. If she gave birth to a little prince, Jun Jieyu has a bad family background after all, and her position is never too high, which is not suitable for raising a prince. The queen raised the child under her own name, and even if you don't have anything in the future, whether you are a successor or a long, you will be a stable queen, and no one else can fight for it. ”

The Empress Dowager's rare good temper was dissected and listed one by one for Yuehua.

Yuehua knelt on the ground and was silent, and after the Empress Dowager spoke bitterly, she saw that she was indifferent, so she became a little angry: "What, you don't want to?" ”

Yuehua was indeed unhappy, although she couldn't find fault with the Empress Dowager's idea. She just felt that it was a very cruel thing to separate a mother from her own child. Although, they can still see each other from time to time, but when they hear their children call their mothers to others, they can only watch with their eyes, like strangers, what kind of feeling does Jun Jieyu feel in her heart? Will it be like stabbing her in the heart with a blunt knife? And using the power in your hands, is it considered a forcible seizure?

It's just the order of the Empress Dowager, how can you disobey it?

She thought for a moment: "Back to the Empress Dowager, Yuehua is now unstable, always in danger, and self-preservation, and does not think that she has the ability to protect Jun Jieyu and the fetus in her womb." ”

Yuehua is also telling the truth, now the palace people around him are all pregnant with ghosts, I don't know the roots, the only ones I can trust are Xiangshen and Mama Wei. Even if the Qingqiu Palace is impregnable, negligence will give people an opportunity, not to mention, people's hearts are uneven?

There is already a lesson from Cui Zhaoyi's past, if Jun Jieyu can really give birth to the prince safely, it is fine, if there is the slightest mistake, she will be doomed!

What's more, if she really acted like this and took Jun Jieyu's child as her own, Mo Guhan would know the clue at a glance, wouldn't she hate herself even more?

Therefore, under the trade-off, Yuehua was unwilling in her heart.

The Empress Dowager sneered: "Are you unable or unwilling?" ”

Yuehua gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "Yuehua understands the empress dowager's hard work, but Yuehua really can't. ”

"Good, good!" The Queen Mother picked up the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground, the broken porcelain splashed everywhere, and the tea splashed all over the moon. Fortunately, the tea is no longer hot, and it is separated by several layers of winter clothes.

"It's really hard wings! Awesome! Forget who put you in the position of queen in the first place, right? How dare you disobey the mourning family like this! If you can't strike first today, and the Queen Mother's people take the lead, you have to understand what the consequences will be! When the time comes, cry and cry, it's too late to regret! ”

Yuehua didn't expect the Empress Dowager to be so angry, and she couldn't help but feel cowardly in her heart, only to feel that the overwhelming flames seemed to burn herself.

She didn't dare to raise her head, so she could only kneel on the ground honestly, silent: "The Empress Dowager is angry, don't be angry." ”

The Empress Dowager trembled and pointed at Yuehua with her fingers, her anger of hating iron and steel became more and more intense, and her voice unconsciously raised a few points, throwing away the prestige of Su Ri, and almost roared: "Get out of the courtyard and kneel for the mourning family, kneel for a day and a night, don't let the mourning family see you!" When to know what is wrong, when to get up! ”

Mama Lin stepped forward to caress the heart of the Queen Mother, and persuaded her repeatedly: "Your old man is not good today, but don't make a big fuss, this head will hurt endlessly when you turn around, who can do it for you?" ”

The Empress Dowager's anger did not subside: "The mourning family is hardworking, but she was ruined in vain, and the mourning family was blind at the beginning!" Get lost! ”

Yuehua stood up with interest, silently took a few steps back, walked out of the dormitory, and walked into the courtyard, before kneeling down in peace.

It was almost winter, and it had just snowed, and the cold wind was howling, and the ground was even more cold and biting.

Yuehua knelt on the bluestone ground, and at first felt that there were ice blades in her knees, and then melted into ice water, swimming all over her body along the blood. Later, my body was also cold, and my knees were numb and unconscious. She cowered, her teeth chattering.

The servants in the Ci'an Palace walked up and down from her side, although they didn't dare to say anything out of awe, but Yuehua could feel their eyes spinning unscrupulously behind her, gloating. If it weren't for the title of the queen on the head, I believe that now, it would definitely be like that day at the gate of the embroidery village, I was pointed at, ridiculed and ridiculed.

Mama Lin came out, sighed, and asked her, "It's a cold day, what are you doing with this twist?" If you know it's wrong, let me go in and give a reply to the Queen Mother, and her old man is also distressed. ”

Yuehua's mouth was a little disobedient, but her heart was as clear as a mirror. Now Mo Guhan is full of vigilance against himself, and it is not suitable for him to do anything scheming and seizing power, not to mention that there is a concubine crane above Jun Jieyu, and the purpose of doing this by himself is too obvious. It is the gains that outweigh the losses.

She shook her head firmly: "Thank you, Mama Lin, Yuehua is not angry, and the old man of the Empress Dowager is angry, and she should be punished." ”

"Why are you so stubborn? You must know that the Empress Dowager is an old man, but she is dedicated to your good. In addition, you don't have to think that this is such a dirty and despicable thing, if the prince born by Jun Jieyu can be raised by you, she must also be unwanted. After all, what mother doesn't want her child to get ahead? ”

Mama Lin followed the temptation and persuaded in a low voice.

Yuehua still shook his head stubbornly: "Yuehua weighed it again and again, and felt that the gains outweighed the losses. ”

Mama Lin sighed helplessly, turned around and went back to the house, shaking her head at the Queen Mother.

"Still won't give in, right?" The Empress Dowager asked with a smile, where is there still a little anger from Shicai?

Mama Lin shook her head: "The queen's temperament is really not ordinary stubborn. ”

The Empress Dowager lifted the ointment on her forehead, wanted to lose it, and put it on the table in front of her: "This move is indeed a bit rushed, but she can see it through." This Yuehua is the same as Gu Han, and they are the same smart and arrogant, so the two of them are all suspicious, and no one is willing to approach anyone. If it goes on like this, maybe they will be okay for the rest of their lives, ignoring each other. ”

"This matter, it's really like what your old man said, the woman in the emperor's picture is either an arrogant temperament like Concubine Ling, or a pitiful wonderful person like Jun Jieyu, anyway, it's all simple. Like Concubine Crane and Concubine Ya, even if they have the power of the family and have a good name, the emperor will not want to see them. Miss Yuehua is too smart, so it is inevitable that the emperor will be jealous of her. ”

Mama Lin smiled and offered a cup of hot tea, and the Queen Mother took it in her hand, blew off the foam on it, and took a sip.

"Although the mourning family has not asked about the harem over the years, the mourning family can see clearly what kind of woman the emperor likes. This Yuehua is young after all, and he can't fully restrain his sharpness and be wise and foolish. Gu Han is wary of my Chang family in every way, how can he accept her easily? The mourners can only act as this wicked person. ”

Mama Lin tiptoed to look out of the window and sighed: "I hope the queen can understand your old man's hard work." ”

"This is just the beginning, it depends on when the child in Guhan can't hold his breath."

There was a touch of pride in the corners of the Empress Dowager's eyes and eyebrows: "I'm afraid that the two of them really look at each other unpleasantly, plus Concubine Ling and those people have ulterior motives to provoke them, and they are deeply rooted, so it will be difficult." ”

Mama Lin covered her mouth and smiled: "Didn't your old man have already made arrangements?" This bitter trick, the old slave was distressed when he saw it. ”

The Empress Dowager smiled very happily, with a look of victory in her hand, and said meaningfully: "The shadow in the mirror, the eyes in front of the lamp, the bottom foot, where can it be compared to this...... Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on today. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, with a little ill-will, and winked slyly, just like ...... Two cunning foxes.
