Chapter 296: Take the initiative to ask for help
Outside Yuehua's dormitory, Mama Wei knelt on her knees, lowered her head, and held a flower cloth bag in her hand.
The palace maids came and went lightly, all turning a blind eye.
Qiu Zijin happily stepped forward, and when he saw Mama Wei, his face suddenly collapsed, and he sneered disdainfully.
At the beginning of Chang'an, Mo Guhan was worried that the Chang family's dog would jump off the wall in a hurry, and he would stab Yuehua and other despicable means, so he asked Zijin to often come to the palace to accompany her these days.
Zijin walked over slowly with a cold face, glanced at Mama Wei on the ground, and snorted softly, "What are you kneeling here for?" Don't you still expect the queen to forgive you? ”
Mama Wei shook her head: "The old slave knows that he is sorry for his mother, and he is to blame for his death, and he has no face to stay in front of his mother." The old slave came to beg the mother and promised the old slave to go to the Ci'an Palace to serve the Empress Dowager. ”
Zijin laughed angrily: "Serving the Empress Dowager? Did I hear me right? ”
Mama Wei's face was expressionless, and she nodded stiffly: "No." ”
"You're going to serve that old witch, are you really loyal? In the past, you just stammered, but now that the Empress Dowager is in trouble, you even took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Ci'an Palace, you are really a good dog! The queen has raised you for so many years, and she still respects you as an elder with all her heart, even if you commit a heinous sin, she is reluctant to cut off your head! ”
Zijin has always been happy and straightforward, jealous and hateful, and heard that Mama Wei had done many things that were sorry for Yuehua before, so she naturally ridiculed her mercilessly.
Mama Wei was still expressionless, letting Zijin be sarcastic, and she didn't talk back, let alone explain.
Zijin bent down and looked at her with disdain: "You are the old man in front of Mrs. Chu, and you are the general's mansion who married from the Hou Mansion, so do you know who killed Mrs. Chu by whom?" ”
Only then did Mama Wei raise her head, glanced at Zijin, and said slowly: "My wife committed suicide and followed General Chu. ”
Zijin sneered: "It's true to commit suicide, but there are other reasons in it." General Chu was killed by the Empress Dowager in conjunction with Chang Zhiyi's conspiracy, you should guess that after Mrs. Chu realized the truth, she was coerced by the Chang family, and she was embarrassed, so she was forced to commit suicide!
The Empress Dowager killed General Chu, Mrs. Chu, and Chang Zhiyi almost killed the Empress Mother in order to kill people. The queen mother and the queen mother can be said to be incompatible. You used to be kept in the dark without knowing the reason, and you just aided and abetted the abuse, do you still want to go to the enemy now? ”
After hearing the truth, Mama Wei did not have a look of shock on her face, and she still lowered her eyelids, without any waves.
"The queen's mother is righteous and benevolent, and she still hasn't found your sin, why are you so uninteresting that you invited yourself to Ci'an Palace?"
Mama Wei thought about it for a while, and still nodded categorically: "The old slave is sure that the old slave is willing to go to Ci'an Palace to serve the Empress Dowager." ”
"You!" Zijin shook his hand indignantly: "It's really a servile dog minion!" ”
Mama Wei knocked her head down heavily: "Please ask Miss Zijin to return on her behalf." ”
Zijin stared at her hatefully for a long time, hating to rip off a piece of meat. Seeing that her face was still resolute, she finally flicked her sleeves and entered the dormitory.
But after a moment, he came out violently again, like a fly, and said impatiently: "Go, go, the queen mother said that you can go wherever you want!" As long as you don't stay with you. ”
Mama Wei smiled bitterly, and kowtowed three heads heavily in the direction of the dormitory, and there were already mottled blood stains on her forehead: "The old slave bids farewell to the queen's mother, the queen's mother is blessed with Jin'an, and the blessing is a thousand autumns." ”
Zijin snorted coldly again: "Don't pretend, find your real master!" Don't pretend to disgust us here! ”
Mama Wei struggled to stand up, turned around tremblingly, brushed her hair from her sideburns, and slowly walked in the direction of Ci'an Palace.
Zijin looked at her gradually clumsy back with disdain, and spat fiercely: "I really don't understand, why does the queen mother still keep her life?" As soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, isn't it over? ”
Rong Xiang happened to come from the front and listened to Zijin's words in his ears: "Miss Zijin is happy to take revenge, don't you think that this kind of treacherous slave should be worth one life?" ”
Zijin turned his face, naturally recognized Rong Xiang, and did not shy away from it at all: "If a person like her were to be any master, I am afraid that she would have died a thousand times." ”
Rong Xiang nodded: "The queen mother has never been a hesitant person to do things, but she values love and righteousness, and this time Mama Wei really stumped her." She was probably afraid that she would be angry for a while and regret it in the future, so she needed time to calm down before making a decision. ”
Zijin snorted lightly: "As soon as I saw her, my heart was 'puffed', and I couldn't help but want to go up and kick it to relieve my anger." How can she still have the face to live? ”
Rong Xiang didn't dare to think too much, and probed his brain inside: "Niang Niang is resting?" ”
Zijin shook his head: "No, I was in a bad mood by her." ”
"Lao asked Miss Zijin to say something, and the emperor asked the servant to come and pass on a message."
Zijin hurriedly let Rong Xiang in and bowed to Yuehua.
Yuehua was upset, and when she saw Rong Xiangqiang, she cheered up: "Is the emperor still busy?" ”
Rong Xiang nodded: "There are too many chores in front, press down the gourd and scoop it up, and it won't be clean for a while." ”
Yuehua was a little distressed: "The previous dynasty was deliberating, and the palace was not very convenient to enter and exit, so you were extra careful when you served in front of you, three meals a day, and you must not be left behind." Every day is bothered, and it is autumn dryness, ginseng tea or something is temporarily exempted, and cook more tea to remove liver fire. If he doesn't like it, say that I commanded it. ”
Rong Xiang happily responded: "Rest assured, Rong Xiang is all in mind." ”
Yuehua nodded: "With you by your side, there is nothing uneasy about this palace." What does the emperor have to explain? ”
Rong Xiang immediately told Yuehua the ins and outs of the Empress Dowager's affair of the Empress Dowager's dismissal, and conveyed Mo Guhan's meaning.
Yuehua knew that the Empress Dowager had an inextricable relationship with the court in front of her, and she couldn't move easily. I heard that many courtiers wrote today, preaching benevolence and filial piety, and insinuating that the emperor's house arrest of the empress dowager was inappropriate.
Regardless of whether there is organization and premeditation during the period, the Empress Dowager is an elder after all, Mo Guhan can't be beaten, scolded, or killed, this house arrest is already the limit, and he can't be treated harshly.
"The emperor said that the empress dowager is an elder after all, and her status is noble, and if she does not do it properly, she will definitely be truthful. But she is still restless, instigating like this behind her back, and making trouble for nothing, so naturally she wants to give her a little color. ”
"Then does the emperor say what to do?"
Rong Xiang shook his head: "Now the affairs of the previous dynasty are very anxious, and the emperor really has no time to be distracted, so it is left to the queen mother to decide." ”
After the incident calmed down, Mo Guhan supported all the wind and rain in the court by himself, and did not reveal anything to her, lest she also be anxious. Pushing this matter to myself today, I think it must be really a lack of skills.
In addition, the Empress Dowager has been placed under house arrest, and she is still well-informed, even if Mo Guhan does not explain, Yuehua will not let it go, and the harem needs to be thoroughly sorted out.
She blinked, already having a plan in her heart, and got up with a smile.
"Since the Empress Dowager is lonely and has no one to talk to, this palace will make Ci'an Palace lively, so that she will not have nothing to do and always think about this palace."
In Ci'an Palace, Mama Lin thoughtfully lit the incense of tranquility.
Cigarette smoke curled, and the whole palace was eerily quiet.
The Empress Dowager tightened her forehead, and there was a plaster under her forehead.
Even if she has lost her power and has fallen down, she does not allow herself to be embarrassed in the slightest. The hair is not messy, it is still light, but it is full of glory, and between the buns with silver hair, the gorse hairpin is upright, and the crystal tassels hang down, occasionally rippling, adding a touch of vitality to her.
After all, she is in her last years, and no matter how much she supports it, she can't hide her old age. When she heard Yuehua's footsteps and slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were already obviously a little cloudy.
"Is your old man having another headache?" Yuehua smelled the smell of soothing incense in the air, and asked first.
The Empress Dowager slowly closed her eyes again.
"Actually, this tranquilizer does not cure the symptoms at all, and it does not help you at all, but it only acts as a hypnot, allowing you to put aside those chaotic thoughts and fall asleep. As long as you don't worry about it all the time, your old headache will naturally be cured without medicine. ”
The Empress Dowager sighed leisurely: "Who doesn't want to be at ease and worry-free, but when the mourning family enters the palace, it is the rise and fall of the Chang family, and one person shoulders the fate of so many people. If you want to survive, you must always be at risk.
Regarding this, you Chu Yuehua should empathize. And the mourning family does not have the luck of you, as soon as you enter the palace, you are the most noble queen, and the mourning family supports you all the way to stabilize your posteriority. The mourning family has staggered to this day with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the responsibility is getting heavier and heavier, is it as light as you think? Say throw it away? ”
The Empress Dowager has always been high-minded, and she has never said such sentimental words. Obviously, the two days of house arrest have had a great impact on her state of mind.
"If you want to keep the glory of the Chang family, you are not deliberately stepping on other people's corpses to climb up, but abiding by the law, being honest and honest, and loving the people like children, then the people will naturally lift the Chang family to stand in a majestic place.
In order to entrap my father, you married my mother into the Chu family. When you learned that Chang Zhiyi colluded with the Xiliang people in order to seize military power and killed my father, he actually colluded with him, not only covering up his crimes, but also helping him kill people and kill his mouth, secretly plotting, and making mistakes again and again.
The Chang family has lost the hearts of the people, and is hated by the people of Chang'an, all of them are eliminated quickly, and the Chang family is self-defeating, and it is only inevitable that they can have today's end. ”
