Chapter 288: Dragon Robe
Yuehua was betrayed by the people around her, which can be said to have set off a lot of waves in the harem. There's nothing more slap in the face than betraying someone closest to you.
Many people gloated, and many more despised Mama Wei's actions. The matter of Chang Lingyan was stirred up again and talked about with relish.
Yuehua was lying in the Qianqing Palace, her eyes staring at the top of the tent, desperately swallowing the sourness that came up again and again, and her heart was torn like a see-saw.
Mama Wei not only killed Xiang Che, if she hadn't colluded with Chang Lingyan at the beginning, she might not have left the Forbidden City, and Xiang Shen and Chu Jiu would not have died tragically.
I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me.
Yuehua has always felt guilty in her heart, they all died for themselves.
Today, the truth of Xiang Che's tragic death has deepened her guilt a lot.
There has always been a thought in my heart that is desperately shouting: "Kill her, kill her to avenge Xiangche!" ”
Her hand was raised and lowered, repeatedly.
Mama Wei is not an ordinary slave, she is her own elder, and she has been dependent on her relatives for so many years. Although she hated it in her heart, she let Yuehua stab the sharp knife directly into her chest, and Yuehua couldn't do it.
Mama Wei has been kneeling at the door of the main hall. People came and went, all looking at her with disdain, and from time to time someone quietly spat at her.
Her gray hair looked messy in the autumn wind, like a weed.
Yushu walked out and looked at her condescendingly: "Do you still have the face to kneel here?" ”
Mama Wei was silent and did not speak.
"Could it be that you still expect the queen to forgive you? You should go to your true master, wag your tail at her, and beg for mercy, so that she can save your life. ”
Yushu spoke unceremoniously and coldly sarcastic.
There were tears welling up from the corners of Mama Wei's eyes, a cloudy color. Her lips trembled uncontrollably, and her whole person looked like she was in the last years, trembling.
"I don't ask the queen for forgiveness, I just want to forgive my sins."
"Forgiveness?" Yushu laughed angrily: "You have sins all over your body, do you think you can atone for them by kneeling here?" If I were you, I would have died here with my headfirst and paid for my life. ”
"My life is worthless, and it is not a pity to die, but I don't want to die yet."
Yushu snorted and turned around: "In the end, it's not that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, and I feel dirty when I talk to you." ”
Three steps and two steps back to the Qianqing Palace.
Mama Wei was silent, kneeling in place like a clay sculpture.
In the distance, Mama Lin squinted her eyes and sneered, brushed her sideburns, and turned around and returned to Ci'an Palace.
The Empress Dowager was offering incense, and she bowed to the jade statue of Guanyin in the middle of the Buddhist shrine very reverently.
Guanyin has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, phoenix eyes are slightly drooping, and he looks compassionate and compassionate.
The Empress Dowager inserted the three pillars of incense in her hand into the incense burner very carefully, clasped her hands together, meditated for a moment, and then took three steps back, and stood there all the time, staring at the incense head with all her attention.
Mama Lin didn't dare to disturb and quietly closed the door. She knew the rules of the Empress Dowager. She has a set of methods in her heart to distinguish the good and the bad, and every time she is so dedicated and pious, it means that she has something difficult to choose in her heart.
Cigarette smoke filled, flickering on and off, and the air was filled with the smell of sandalwood.
The Empress Dowager suddenly spoke: "Lin Hui, come and see." ”
Mama Lin took two steps forward: "What do you have old man's orders?" ”
The Empress Dowager said faintly: "Why do the mourning family look at the corners of Guanyin's lips downwards today, with a sad look?" ”
Mama Lin raised her head and saw that the jade carving Guanyin had a tight lip line, and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, like a divine pen drawn by Danqing Bai, smooth, soft, and round.
The smile is light, and there is a calm and indifferent mind that knows everything in the world.
She shook her head: "The Buddha has immeasurable aspects, and the "Lengyan Sutra" says: follow the hearts of all beings, and you should know the quantity. After all, this Bodhisattva jade carving is just a skin, and your old man is too careful. ”
The Empress Dowager caressed her heart and sighed lightly: "I always feel that this heart is empty, empty, and unsteady." ”
"Your old man hasn't had a good rest for the past two days, right?"
The Empress Dowager turned around and sat down on the couch, lowered her eyelids, stretched out her fingers and rubbed her eyebrows: "What did Ling Yan say?" How about a tentative one? ”
"Concubine Lian said it, I didn't find anything unusual, the queen mother is just obviously excited."
The Empress Dowager snorted disdainfully: "She's so stupid, she really can't count on it." ”
"Maybe it's because you're an old man, right? There is no antidote to forget worries, even if Shao Xiang is a skilled doctor, he can't diagnose it. ”
"Hehe, she Chang Lingyan doesn't even know who the child in her belly is, what else can you expect her to try?"
Mama Lin was speechless for a moment.
"I really didn't expect that the little emperor would play such a trick with the mourning family. The mourners were kept in the dark by him. ”
"...... in the Worship Room"
"The people in the worship room don't know." The Empress Dowager said firmly: "The first time he really came to Lingyan, did you forget the pomp? Another secluded room was opened, and incense was burned, at that time, Concubine Ling and others were still quite envious, and Chang Lingyan was also complacent about it. But do you think, in the past, which concubine he pampered was not like eating a common meal, how could he ever be so concerned? It must be that there is a mechanism in that room. ”
"But you say, this, Concubine Lian has been pampered so many times, how can she not notice a little strange? Even if it is as identified by the imperial doctor, the incense is mixed with a small amount of * powder, so it will not be secretive? Mama Lin sighed.
Her eyes were full of the emperor, and she came and went as soon as she called him, and she was obedient to him, and she had already dizzy. If it weren't for the Mourning Family's suspicious questioning, and learning that she was blindfolded every time she entered the room, even the Mourning Family would have been incredulous. That idiot even insisted that he was fortunate that he was the emperor. ”
"Your Majesty's mind is too deep."
The Empress Dowager sighed lightly: "The mourning family has always thought that she was the one who manipulated the puppet, but I didn't expect that the mourning family has always been being played by him as a monkey!" ”
"If the emperor doesn't like Concubine Lian, even if he refuses, why bother? Just to give the queen a breath of relief? ”
But not only that, he was clearly having a different heart at that time, and it was clear that in order to stabilize the mourning family, he was planning behind his back. Even sending Yuehua out of the palace is afraid that it is all fake. ”
Mama Lin was a little dumbfounded: "So, he's been on guard against us all along?" ”
The Empress Dowager nodded firmly.
The more Mama Lin thought about it, the more frightened she became, how could she hide it from the old Jiang Mi spicy Queen Mother?
She consciously believed the Empress Dowager's inference: "Is it true that the queen's amnesia is true or false?" That would be terrible. ”
The Empress Dowager smiled sarcastically: "The mourning family asks you, how is Mama Wei now?" ”
"Still kneeling at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, the queen hasn't decided what to do with it."
"That's it, the mourning family can be sure that the queen is pretending, there is no doubt about it."
"Why?" Mama Lin asked puzzled.
"The mourning family asks you, if you were the queen, what would you do with Mama Wei?"
"Do you need to say it? One life is worth one life, and he will be executed immediately, avenge the girl called Xiangche, and set an example, won't it be a hundred? Mama Lin said without thinking.
"You said it so lightly, it's because Mama Wei is insignificant to you, so you don't have to hesitate for a moment."
Mama Lin was stunned for a moment, and then it took a while to recall the meaning of the Empress Dowager's words: "You mean that the queen has not been willing to attack Mama Wei for a long time, is that because she is still thinking about the old days?" ”
The Empress Dowager nodded meaningfully: "So, Chu Yuehua still remembers the love of the year from beginning to end, and she hasn't forgotten anything at all!" Do you think that the mourning family asked Chang Lingyan to confide in this matter just to ask Chu Yuehua's words? How can that be compensated? The mourning family just wants to see, how does she Chu Yuehua deal with her? See how she still pretends to be with the mourning family? ”
"That'...... ...... now."
The Empress Dowager only groaned slightly, stood up, walked to the Buddhist shrine, gently pulled the candlestick next to her, and "Zaza" sounded, and the Buddha shrine revealed a dark grid of more than one square inch.
She reached out and took out a yellow leather bag from it, turned around and handed it to Mama Lin.
"Go and hand it over to Zhiyi, and he will naturally understand everything."
Mama Lin took the letter suspiciously in her hand, the burden was heavy, she immediately understood what was inside, her face changed, and she exclaimed: "Dragon robe and Jiuyu crown? ”
The Empress Dowager nodded: "The annual autumn hunt will start soon, the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again, this is a godsend." ”
"You've really decided?"
"The mourning family has already asked the emperor that during the autumn hunt, he will leave Shao Xiang in Beijing and lead Chu Mubai and others to escort him. Shao Ziqing is difficult to support alone, so there is nothing to worry about. Zhiyi has already contacted King Hao, and when the time comes, King Hao will find an excuse to stay in Beijing and help the mourning family.
As long as Mo Guhan leaves Beijing, he will immediately open the palace gate, rescue the prince who was under house arrest in the Hanlin Courtyard, and control the entire capital. In the paddock, Zhiyi also has its own clever plan. ”
Mama Lin couldn't help but tighten her hand holding the burden: "Will the emperor be prepared there?" ”
"Even if you are prepared, you must have the life to return to Beijing." The Empress Dowager said coldly.
Mama Lin saw that she was full of ambition, and her face was bound to win, so she didn't dare to say more, and respectfully agreed.
"Also, look for someone to watch Chang Lingyan, don't let her take half a step out of the Yanxia Palace, lest it be bad."
Mama Lin responded and felt that her heart was beginning to be worried. Turning his head to look at the jade carving Guanyin in the Buddhist shrine, in the endless cigarette smoke, there was also a vague illusion, and I felt that the corners of Guanyin's lips were slowly hooked, and the sad smile turned into ridicule and mockery.
She stumbled under her feet, tripped over the threshold, and the burden in her hand almost came out.
