Chapter 691: A Dream Suddenly
"We, we are going to take your life......" The Empress Dowager's voice fell, and Rong Yunxi's heart repeated it again.
But she felt a cold wind blowing in through the crack in the door, which made her spine chill for a while. A strong chill invaded from the skin on her back, straight into the bone marrow, and then hit her whole body......
She never imagined that while she was running around for the royal bloodline, there was a sword and axe hanging in the city of Kyoto, and as soon as she set foot on the return journey, the knife and axe would float to where she was, and fall heavily above her head.
But why didn't it fall in the end? She already knew the answer, she thought.
It's just that I have a little more understanding of the speculation of the hearts of the royal family. She has long known that the Empress Dowager and the Empress are ruthless characters, and she never doubted that when necessary, they would not hesitate to choose to sacrifice her for the sake of their grandchildren, sons, their families, and the reputation of the royal family. But at least when she made a big mistake. But in the matter of King Ling, even if she is wrong, where is the big mistake enough to kill?
In any case, King Ling is the grandson of the Empress Dowager and the nephew of the Empress Dowager, and she went to the frontier to save King Ling's life. Even if she stayed on the frontier for a long time, wouldn't it be enough to atone for her faults? She has always known the ruthlessness of her mother-in-law and mother-in-law, but she never thought that they would be people who do not distinguish between right and wrong.
It seems that she still doesn't know enough about this royal family and this deep palace. This is not a place to reason. Here, the only reason is "right".
"You don't have to feel cold", as if to give her time to react, and after a while, the Empress Dowager's voice slowly sounded, "This is the emperor's family." In the emperor's house, Li'er doesn't make sense. Whoever is in a high position has a hand of life and death. The person who is in a high position now is you......"
The Empress Dowager was quite touched and sighed: "Rong girl, when you first saw the mourning family, it was at your father's homecoming banquet, when you were still a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. When we meet again, that's when something happens to your father. It's just the year before last......"
"Back then...... The first emperor is still alive, your mother is just a favorite concubine in the palace, and the mourning family is still the queen mother...... The world changed in a blink of an eye, the first emperor went, your mother became the queen and the queen mother, and the mourning family was already the queen mother. The emperor is also much calmer, no longer the same laughing and naughty appearance when he was standing with you before...... The only constant seems to be you. ”
"You are still kneeling in front of the mourning family so quietly and respectfully, and you are still so unfazed. When the mourning family talks to you, they still can't see through your bottom, and their hearts are hanging. ”
The Empress Dowager sighed: "Rong girl...... Do you know that the mourning family is not as good as you at your age? The mourning family is not as lucky as you, not only can you be the queen smoothly, but you can also get the sincerity of your husband. For thousands of years, how many women can be so sincere to the emperor? None of your mother's gifts are as good as yours. ”
The Empress Dowager looked at Rong Yunxi very solemnly, even if Rong Yunxi did not raise her head at this time, she could detect her expression from the Empress Dowager's tone. The Empress Dowager's voice was very affirmative: "The mourning family's own grandson, the mourning family can't understand it anymore." Your Majesty has given you all your tenderness. Rong girl, do you know that the most precious thing in this world is 'contentment' and 'gratitude'? The mourning family asks you, do you know the grace of Your Majesty? ”
Rong Yunxi said: "Erchen respects Your Majesty and is grateful to Your Majesty, and you are also ...... I also love Your Majesty deeply. ”
"Hehe...... "The Empress Dowager smiled bitterly and said, "This word, in the deep palace, is too heavy and too false...... What's more, he is the emperor of the Wind Country, and in the future, he will definitely be the emperor of the world, and you can't afford to love him. All you can do is look up at him, just as you look up at the sun and moon in the sky and the gods in the sky. Be loyal to him, just as a person who believes in Buddhism is loyal to the Buddha, and a person who believes in the Tao is loyal to Laojun...... But you can't love him. If you love him, you will be willful, and you will not be able to see your position, which is not good for you or Your Majesty. ”
"The mourning family asked you to give his heart to him, so that you, as a slave who is dedicated to the master and attached to the master, will completely give everything you have to your master. You don't have to feel wronged, and you don't have to try to refute the mourners, because your master values you and deserves it. ”
Rong Yunxi was angry when she heard this, but originally, she didn't intend to refute the Queen Mother. The Empress Dowager doesn't have a backache when she stands and talks, and when she herself is the concubine, can she ask her to do this and ask herself like today? Naturally not. It's just that now she is in a different position, at that time she was for herself, and at this time, she was for her grandchildren.
In this world, not everyone can push themselves and others. What she can't do and doesn't want to do by herself, she hopes that her granddaughter-in-law can do it at this time. Because once her granddaughter-in-law does it, her granddaughter's life will be smoother. And even if she can't do it, her words are just some points and requirements, so what's the matter? Words do not cost money.
So for her, although she is angry, there is no need to vent anything about it.
"Okay......" the Empress Dowager sighed, "then again, do you know why you are still alive now?" ”
Rong Yunxi had already expected the reason in her heart, but she shook her head, pretending not to know: "The son doesn't know, and I hope that the emperor's grandmother will make it clear." ”
What else could there be besides the emperor's plea? The only one who can make the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother change their minds is the emperor.
"It's the emperor", the empress dowager didn't go around the bend, and said, "The emperor went to the mourning palace and your mother's harem to intercede, and the words were very serious." Said that if you have three longs and two shorts, he and we will never see each other again. ”
Although he had expected that it was the emperor who interceded, after listening to the words of the Queen Mother, Rong Yunxi was still very shocked. She didn't expect that the emperor would say such cold words to his grandmother and mother, whom he has always respected the most, for her sake.
"Isn't it shocking?" The Empress Dowager was already indifferent after the fact, and said with a smile, "The emperor's character, you have always known that he is the most benevolent and filial person, and he knows how to act in a measured manner, how can he not know the seriousness of saying this?" But he also knew that we would never give up until we broke the hearts of the mourners and his mother. So for the sake of your life, he is willing to bear the worst sin in the world and make himself an unfilial person. ”
The Empress Dowager's voice was very gentle, but Rong Yunxi listened to it, but she felt that her heart was surging and her heart was surging, and it was difficult to calm down for a while. She had thought that he would save her life, and she had thought that he would do something hard to save her life. But he never thought that he would do this for her. The Empress Dowager said that she was a person of benevolence and filial piety, the word "benevolence", to be honest, she did not dare to make a judgment, but the word "filial piety", she was sure that he could afford it.
So now when she heard the Empress Dowager say this, her heart, in addition to shock, was still full of shock, and she didn't even have time to be grateful.
There is no need for the Empress Dowager to lie to her, and as long as she thinks about it carefully, she knows that once the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are murderous, if they don't use any extreme methods, it is impossible to make them change their minds.
When she was worrying about Brother Ling by Brother Ling's side, when she was figuring out his intentions because she saw the thunder stop and chasing the wind, and when she was thinking about him and Huo Xiaoyan's affairs, he was in Kyoto City, ignoring the gossip, and tried his best to save her life.
At that time, the pressure he was under was not the determination of the imperial grandmother and the queen mother? It's the gossip about her infidelity, the shame that is green on her head, and the uncertainty in her heart. But no matter what, even when he said those heavy words to the imperial grandmother and queen mother, he didn't believe her in his heart, but he still did everything he could for her. Face, filial piety, all gone.
For a man, if his wife and his brother spread such a thing, he must always hide and not give others a chance to humiliate him, not to say that he has made any counterattack on this matter, right? But he was so not afraid of being slapped in the face and ridiculed like this, so he went to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to make a fuss......
At that time, she couldn't fully understand his mood. But one thing is certain, and that is his concern for her.
It was precisely because he was worried about her that he endured everything silently alone.
She challenged his dignity and bottom line as a man, but he never mentioned it to her or complained about it.
When she was in a cold war with him, how bitter should his heart be...... She thinks that she has given in again and again, and she thinks that she is great and wronged, but in reality? Isn't he the one who really backs down and is really wronged?
She thought that he didn't understand her heart and didn't understand her love, but now, who is the person who doesn't understand?
Even last night, when he said those words of assurance to her, she still regarded his words as a breeze blowing in her ears, and she felt comfortable at the time, and did not take it to heart. In fact, what he said should be from the bottom of his heart, and it is all true.
The Empress Dowager looked at Rong Yunxi quietly for a long time, and no longer said anything about this matter. Because she knows that with Rong Yunxi's intelligence, everything that should be experienced will naturally be experienced. As for what happens next, it depends on the creation of the husband and wife. As an elder, that's all she can do.
"Calling the clouds......" After a while, the Empress Dowager raised her voice and called Mama Bo in.
Mama Bo entered the house, but the Empress Dowager only ordered two words: "Go." ”
Hearing this, Rong Yunxi couldn't help but be surprised, and thought, what did the Queen Mother ask Mama Bo to do?
Seeing that the Empress Dowager didn't seem to have any intention of saying anything to her, she resigned: "If the imperial grandmother has no other instructions, the sons will retreat and not disturb the imperial grandmother's recuperation." ”
"Don't worry, you can wait a little longer. The mourning family has finished talking to you, and it's not too late for you to go back. The Empress Dowager did not let her go. But just immediately said: "The ground is cold, you get up and sit down." ”
Rong Yunxi didn't know what else the Empress Dowager would do next, so she could only respond: "Yes." ”
After a short time, Mama Bo brought three old grandmothers, two palace daughters of aunt age, and three older eunuchs. Several people greeted the Empress Dowager and Rong Yunxi in an orderly manner, and waited for orders in a polite manner......
