Chapter 11: A Confusing Past
Looking at the cleaned hut, Shadow Charm waved his hand and sent the maids brought by Hua Junyang out of the house.
Lying on the bed, the shadow frowned deeply, judging from Hua Junyang's attitude today, something must have happened, otherwise he would never be so tolerant of himself.
Straightening up, Shadow Charm leaned on the edge of the bed, and turned his head to look at Qiu'er: "Qiu'er, has anything happened recently?" ”
"Big deal?" Qiu'er pondered for a moment, stared at the shadow with blazing eyes, and said hesitantly: "If you want to talk about big things, except for the old man who won another battle, the only thing is when the queen mother returns to the palace." ”
"Are you saying that the Queen Mother has not been in the court all these years?" Shadow glanced at her brows, and was speechless for a moment, and everything suddenly became clear.
In other words, for so many years, the reason why Huafu has been so kind to Hua Ying is because the Queen Mother is not in the court, and the emperor will certainly not care too much about her affairs, or if he cares, what he hears is only Hua Junyang's lies.
"Yes, the Queen Mother was too sad because of the death of her wife, so she went to Daxiangguo Temple to eat fasting and chant Buddha, speaking of which, the Queen Mother really loves her wife." Qiu'er heard the ghost's question, and tried her best to tell everything she knew, but this matter was not a secret thing, most people in Kyoto knew about it, and they were all embarrassed at the beginning.
"Oh?" Shadow Charm didn't expect things to be like this, compared to Qiu'er's innocence, when she heard all this, the first thing she sighed was not the Queen Mother's favor for her mother, but a deep suspicion.
It stands to reason that since the Queen Mother loved her mother so much, and her mother died so strangely, how could the Queen Mother not issue an order for a thorough investigation, but stay away from the government and the opposition and enter the temple to practice, and this time it has been more than ten years.
And the emperor's attitude made Ying Mei even more puzzled, in this era of filial piety first, as the king of a country, how could he let the Queen Mother stay in Daxiangguo Temple for more than ten years, which is not logical.
Huafu's attitude towards the shadow ghost is also too strange, the emperor let the shadow ghost go when he was in power, and when he heard that the queen mother returned, it was unusual, all of this was too unusual.
Shadow Charm didn't dare to say anything, but she was sure that her mother's death must have hidden a big secret.......
At the same time, in the imperial study of Hengnan Kingdom, Qian Aolin sat on the dragon chair, his hand lightly knocked on the table in front of him, and his eyes stared sharply at Qian Hongyan who was standing with his head down.
"You're so daring." Slammed the fold in his hand on the table, Qian Aolin's tiger eyes were like sharp edges, like sharp blades piercing the sky, shooting straight towards Qianhong Flame. The majesty of the king was instantly revealed: "Divorce before marrying, my good emperor, you really think about it, your relationship with Mei'er was personally decided by your imperial grandmother back then, even if you are dissatisfied, you shouldn't use this way to harm others and yourself, you want to marry Hua Roulan, I tell you, it's impossible." ”
"Father, the son really loves Lan'er." Qian Hongyan knelt on the ground suddenly, staring at Qian Aolin with a sincere face, and a determined look on his handsome and extraordinary face.
"You rebel, you're trying to be angry." Qian Aolin slapped the table vigorously, stared at the tiger's eyes, pointed at Qian Hongyan who refused to give in with an iron face, was silent for a while, and finally exhaled heavily: "That's it, if you can convince your imperial grandmother that you have something to do with Mei'er, I won't ask anymore." ”
"Thank you, father." Qian Hongyan's eyes flashed with gratitude, but his heart was sneering, if his father really cared about Hua Ying Ghost, after so many days, how could he summon him now, in the final analysis, it was just because the imperial grandmother returned and wanted to inflict her anger on himself, and it was ridiculous that he was still so pretentious.
"Hey!" Qian Aolin leaned on the dragon chair with a tired face, stared at his stubborn son, and waved his hand helplessly: "Go down and do what you should do." ”
"The retainers retired." Qian Hongyan got up, wrapped the corners of his clothes, turned around and walked out of the imperial study.
As Qian Hongyan turned around, Qian Aolin's eyes were as sharp as a knife for a while, he stared deeply at Qian Hongyan's back, and the two eyebrows wrinkled together threateningly, Qian Hongyan, my good emperor, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, grand hegemony, beauty of the country, you want to be the emperor, I'm afraid it's not qualified enough.
A grim smile appeared on Qian Aolin's face, and then it flickered, and the flickering candlelight distorted everything in the room, just like some people's hearts.......
Qian Hongyan walked out of the imperial study, stepped down the steps carved with a dragon, stopped, he turned around and stopped, staring at the magnificent building in front of him, Qian Hongyan's gentle eyes became arrogant and domineering, the throne will definitely be mine.
In the afternoon, the sun is warm, the gentle beams of light shine on the ground, the delicate green buds emerge from the withered yellow branches, and the breeze is warm, everything is so pleasant.
Ying Mei looked at the lunch on the table, and raised her eyebrows with a smile, ten exquisite dishes are full of color and fragrance, chicken, duck and fish, abalone and ginseng wings, and even the desserts after the meal, all of which are good bird's nest white fungus soup.
These meals are not precious, but they are not affordable for ordinary families, the shadow ghost in the previous life has not eaten anything, but the flower shadow ghost who has passed away has not even enjoyed these in this short life.
Thinking of this, Shadow Charm Jade held the silver chopsticks tightly in her hand, fiercely suppressed the killing intent that surged into her heart, took a deep breath, Shadow Charm turned her head, looked at Qiu'er's shining eyes, and her heart warmed, okay, fortunately, Shadow Charm's side, and her.
"Qiu'er, come, eat with me." Shadow Charm patted the stool next to her and motioned for Qiu'er to dine with her.
"No, no, how can the slave sit with the young lady." Qiu'er hurriedly shook her head and refused, looking like she was sworn to death, and the etiquette was respectful, all of which were deeply reflected in Qiu'er's mind, restricting her words and deeds.
"Qiu'er~" Shadow frowned deeply, she hated such a distinct dignity, the feudal shackles and her realistic thoughts were always pulling, shouting, she was not used to Qiu'er slave calling herself, and she didn't like her knees bent at any time.
In this great era, Shadow is powerless and careless about everything else, but she will never let the people she cares about do these ridiculous courtesies to herself.
"If you're still a young lady with me, come and sit down." The shadow ghost stared at Qiu'er resolutely, and Yingying's phoenix eyes were full of arrogant stubbornness.
"Slave ....." Qiu'er gritted her teeth stubbornly, her eyes flashed with hesitation, and in the end, she was defeated under the gaze of the shadow.
Timidly walked to the side of the shadow ghost, Qiu'er sat down slowly, but if you look closely, you can see Qiu'er's uneasiness and crampedness.
She just sat on the edge of the stool, her hands were nervously grasping the corners of her clothes, and the whole person was huddled together, with her head down, like a frightened bird, and every cell in her body was trembling.
"Hey!" Shadow Charm sighed deeply, but it didn't mean to let Qiu'er get up, anything must be difficult at the beginning, but it always has to start, and it always has to try to change.
"Miss, the housekeeper said that the second prince asked to see him." A delicate and crisp voice came from outside the door, and a sweet-looking little maid in a pale green dress stood respectfully outside the door, passing the words vividly.
Second prince? A dusty figure appeared in the shadow ghost's mind, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a wicked sneer.
