Chapter 277: People's hearts are floating and estranged (5)



Seeing that he was indifferent, Emperor Tianzhu stared at her back and continued to sigh: "It's not that I don't miss family affection, it's that the queen mother is too greedy...... You also saw her methods last night, and she clearly deliberately tricked you into going to the Palace of Mercy and Grace...... Don't be fooled. ”

Why don't you know this? Lying in the Longqian Palace all night, she had already thought clearly. What is the concubine of King Cheng, what is kissing and kissing, but it is all coaxed by Empress Dowager Ye, the purpose is to let her stay in the dressing room and not come out, so as to witness all the cruel killings.

I have to say that this divisive strategy is very in place and very clever, but knowing that the truth is so, I still have to be fooled and uncomfortable. Empress Dowager Ye did not hesitate to fight with her life, and used such means, which shows how much she hates, resents, and is angry with Emperor Tianzhi......

And how innocent he was, he was involved in this conspiracy of killing mother and son! Why did Empress Dowager Ye choose her? Why let her see all this? Is it because she is from the Yun family? What will the Heavenly Emperor do with her?

He privately guessed that Empress Dowager Ye wanted Emperor Tianzhu to kill herself. As long as he dies in this Yingyuan Palace, Yixiu's temper will definitely ask for an explanation. In case of being careless, if someone provokes it, it may cause a dispute between the Yun clan and the Emperor of Heaven, so that King Cheng can take advantage of the situation and the fisherman will benefit.

Yes! Empress Dowager Ye must be this intention! The more I thought about it, the more I felt a cold sweat on my back, and I was secretly afraid of what might happen. She couldn't help but struggle in her heart, should she tell the Heavenly Emperor? Should she tell her guesses? But with the wisdom of the Emperor of God, I'm afraid I have already guessed it?

What should she do at this point? Should I say to the Emperor of Heaven for mercy? Or do you swear to keep it a secret? Or should he secretly pass the news to the Yun clan and tell the truth about the cause of Empress Dowager Ye's death?

The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, and my heart was in turmoil. Thousands of mysteries gathered in her mind, and eventually turned into a dense cloud, and if a little more pressure was applied, lightning flashed and thunder poured down.

She was in a state of panic in her heart, and a deep sigh came from behind her: "I have said everything that should be said...... Don't let me down. ”

pursed her lips indifferently, and wanted to answer him, but he hesitated for a moment when the words came to his lips. But this hesitation has missed the best time to respond.

Emperor Tianzhu was even more helpless when he saw this, Empress Dowager Ye was dead, and although Cen Jiang was negligent, he was not guilty of death...... This made him extremely aggrieved! He wanted to be angry and scolded for being stupid and fooled, but he couldn't bear it, so he could only hold back this breath and swallow it. And swallowed together, there is also the bitterness that seems to be nothing.

He originally thought that at least this girl understood him. Although she has never written on his behalf, it is well known in the palace that she has long been an indispensable scenery in the holy study and an interpretive flower beside him.

Even Queen Zhuang Xiaoran once vaguely asked whether she wanted to include her heart in the harem?

As an emperor, it is easiest to pamper a woman, but he has never had this idea. He felt that as long as he accepted it, it would be a betrayal of Luanshu. Moreover, the harem has always been a place of right and wrong, and it seems that a woman like Danxin can stay away from these grievances.

But Emperor Tianzhu never thought that one day he would come to this point with Danxin. He knew she needed time to figure it out and understand, but he was so urgent.

Thinking about it, a feeling of powerlessness suddenly hit him, making him feel tired and faintly aware of it. Emperor Tianzhu was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment, a report sounded outside the house: "Holy Lord, it's time for the light-hearted girl to take medicine." ”

As soon as the palace maid's words fell, a stream of medicinal incense slowly drifted into the house. Emperor Tianzhu pondered for a moment and ordered: "Come in." ”

"Yes." The palace maid replied softly and entered the door with the medicine cup. The bead curtain was lifted again, and two crisp sounds sounded. Emperor Tianzhu stood in front of the couch and stretched out his hand to the palace maid, and the palace maid was stunned for a moment before she reacted, and hurriedly poured the medicinal juice into the bowl and bowed down to serve it.

Emperor Tianzhu personally picked up the medicine bowl, waved his hand to signal the palace maid to retreat, and the room turned back into two people.

"How long are you going to pretend to sleep? Get up and drink the medicine. Emperor Tianzhu said in a deep voice, with a hint of helplessness and impatience in his words.

His body stiffened, and he continued to lie down like a corpse.

Emperor Tianzhu's face sank: "Do you want me to feed you personally?" ”

This sentence was extremely powerful, and he had to slowly turn over and sit up from the couch. Emperor Tianzhu saw her delicate face at a glance, and saw that her face was still good, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and leaned over to hand the medicine bowl to her.

He took the medicine bowl silently, held it in his hand and wanted to send it to his mouth, but his hands trembled so much that he couldn't take a sip anyway. She didn't know what she was shaking, was she afraid that the medicine was poisonous? Or is it just that you don't dare to face the person in front of you?

But at this moment, this scene is extremely familiar in the eyes of Emperor Tianzhu. Once upon a time, Luan Shu was pregnant with a child, and he also brought a bowl of fetal medicine to the other party, but he was questioned about his sincerity, and Luan Shu held it in his hand and was unwilling to drink it all.

And now, after six and a half years, the same scene is happening again! Even the expressions and movements of the light heart are exactly the same as Luan's dreams! How could this not chill him?

It's just that now he is the Emperor of Heaven, and he is no longer the king of Mu back then. After six years of court baptism and treachery, he has changed a lot, but I don't know whether this change is good or bad.

When he encountered this scene six years ago, he reached out in anger and knocked over Luan's long-cherished medicine bowl; Six years later, he won't do the same thing again, he won't make the same mistake again.

"If you don't want to drink it, forget it, don't force it." Emperor Tianzhu's phoenix eyes stared at the faint heart, and finally said, "I promise you to recuperate for twenty days." ”

Only this sentence has been clearly stated - he will not kill her. Not only did she not kill her, but the errand of the female pen officer was kept for her. Emperor Tianzhu thinks that he should understand it with his indifferent cleverness. So, he turned away in silence.

In the afternoon of the same day, he insisted on leaving Longqian Palace and moving back to his residence. When the palace maid came to report the matter to Emperor Tianzhu, he only replied lightly: "Let her go, be sure to take care of it carefully." ”

*****

After another day, the news of Empress Dowager Ye's death came back to Fangzhou. At that time, Nie Peixiao was already on his way to Jingzhou, and almost at the same time, he and Yunfu received the news separately.

Izumi immediately went to Rong Jintang to discuss countermeasures with Mrs. Tai, lest the two brothers of Emperor Tianzhu and Nie Peixiao would turn against each other because of this. Mrs. Tai looked very indifferent, and asserted: "Nie Qi will not let Nie Jiu rebel, this matter is not a big trouble." ”

"I'm afraid that there will be a villain who will sow discord from it, and King Cheng will anger Long Yan when he is angry." Izuku voiced her concerns.

Mrs. Tai also sighed slowly: "Whether Nie Jiu is against it or not, we can only support the Heavenly Emperor...... Nie Jiu is not a talent for governing the country, and he himself has this self-knowledge. ”

"Having said that, King Kecheng ......" Izuku didn't continue, but his worries about Nie Peixiao were already beyond words.

"Since you're worried about him, think of calming him down." Mrs. Tai closed her eyes and sighed again: "Ye Yingfei entrusted her only son to me, and I can't let him have an accident, otherwise she will definitely turn into a ghost and come to me in a dream every night to ask for my life......"

Mrs. Tai waved her hand at Chuxiu as she spoke: "You have to say hello over there in Jingzhou, as for what Nie Jiu's plan is, you can ask." At this time, if you say two words, it should still work. ”

"I see." Out of Xiu hurriedly retreated, returned to Zhiyanxuan and instructed Yueyun to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. She first wrote a letter and sent it to Yun Xian, asking him to pay attention to the situation in Jingzhou; Then he carefully considered what to say to Nie Peixiao.

The death of the Empress Dowager Ye is not big, but it is not small. To put it mildly, it is the emperor's family affairs; In general, it is a state affair, and it may also cause new turmoil in the court. Chu Xiu sat in front of the desk and thought and thought, wrote and wrote, and brewed a lot of rhetoric, all of which were to appease Nie Peixiao's emotions and persuade him not to act impulsively.

After tossing and turning like this for two hours, Izuku failed to write a satisfactory letter. Throwing a stack of scrapped paper on the side of the desk is enough to pile up half a book...... In the end, she only wrote down four words one by one, and then sealed them herself.

Although it is only four words, it is her heartfelt words. Izuku handed the letter to Zhuying and cautiously instructed: "Be sure to send it to King Cheng quickly, he should not be out of the Fangzhou boundary at this moment." ”

Zhuying immediately took the order and asked the secret guard to go to deliver the letter, and it was delivered to Nie Peixiao himself the next day. It is undeniable that this letter came at a timely time, because Nie Peixiao was in a state of impulse and anger. If it weren't for the fact that he was still on the road at the moment, he almost wanted to rush into Yingyuan Palace with a knife and ask why his imperial brother was so affectionate!

And this handwritten letter from Chuxiu curbed his impulse in time, although there were only four words on the letter - "rare and confused".

yes! It is rare to be confused in life, and he should continue to be confused, not to investigate the cause of his mother's death, and not to judge who is right and who is wrong. He has lost his biological mother, does he still have to turn against his most respected brother?

If the queen mother could keep to herself, if the Ye family was not so greedy, if he could have spoken out earlier to persuade her, this family would not have fallen into such a situation. What position does he have to fight? And what leverage do you have to seek revenge?

What's more, his military power has long been replaced by Shen Yu, and his fiefdoms are all cronies of the Emperor of Heaven, which is destined for him to hit a stone with an egg......

Nie Peixiao read the letter from Izumi thousands of times, until it was deeply imprinted in his mind, and then said to the secret guard who came to deliver the letter: "Go back and tell your master, this king is in the province." ”

It's just a letter and a verbal message, a total of just ten words back and forth, but it eliminates an earth-shattering grudge for power invisibly.

When Nie Peixiao arrived in Jingzhou day and night, it happened to be twenty days after the death of Empress Dowager Ye, and it was also the day when she went to the holy study again on an errand.
