Chapter 388: Parting Ways
"But I didn't add anything to it that shouldn't have been added. If I don't want this baby in your womb, there are many ways. For example, add spices to a charcoal basin; For example, create an accident and make you fall. For example, it doesn't matter who you have a conflict with. Either way, it's easier to erase the marks than by putting your hands and feet in your diet. ”
The Empress Dowager was a little distressed, before she was still blaming Mingzhu for hiding something from her and having a different heart, and at this moment, she was framed by someone, but she found that it was difficult to explain this problem to Mingzhu, and now she can only be glad that Mingzhu didn't eat that bird's nest soup. Otherwise, once the accident is cast, even if she has her whole body in her mouth, there is no way to explain it clearly, and this rift will never be erased.
"I know." Mingzhu looked directly at the Empress Dowager and opened her mouth very calmly: "Don't hide it from your aunt, when I heard the palace people say the three words of bird's nest soup, my whole body was cold." I guess I felt the same way I felt when my aunt heard that I was pregnant and deliberately concealed from you. But then I thought, I don't have to come to this point, even if I am stupid, I will not be blind to this point, and I can't even see through what kind of person my own aunt is. ”
The Empress Dowager was surprised by Mingzhu's calmness, if it was in the past, she would have been very pleased that her beloved niece had finally grown up, but at this moment she only felt that creation made people. Maybe she should have stopped her desperately at the beginning, not letting Yu Wenchu marry Mingzhu, even if she married Yu Wenyou, she wouldn't let her aunt and nephew fall to this point.
She smiled bitterly: "I really don't want the child in your womb to come out, he didn't come at the right time, but I can't do anything to you." Serving you bird's nest soup is indeed to keep you from starving and freezing on an empty stomach, but I also want to see how far you have guarded against me, and whether you still think about me for half a minute. ”
Mingzhu lowered her eyes and did not speak. She was indeed very embarrassed at the time, but it turned out that although the Empress Dowager did not have that heart, she was almost killed very badly, and the situation in the palace was too complicated.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the Empress Dowager thought that she didn't want to believe her words, hesitated for a while, and said, "I'll let Xianxian come over, you ask her." ”
Mingzhu shook her head: "No need, there's nothing to ask." "Xianxian and Mulberry are the palace people who served her when she lived in the Empress Dowager's palace in the past, and they are all very familiar with it. Otherwise, there is a problem with the sick palace person, and the empress dowager is even more anxious than her, so she must be thoroughly investigated, and she will not be involved.
The Empress Dowager felt the atmosphere awkward and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Are you hungry?" After saying that, I regretted it, what if Mingzhu refused to eat what she had here?
Mingzhu said softly: "I'm hungry, very hungry." Her eyes turned red: "But I'm more uncomfortable." ”
Speaking of this, all the words that had been accumulated before poured out naturally, and she didn't even need to find another reason to make excuses to bring them out: "Hasn't my aunt seen through today's situation?" Someone is waiting to see our jokes! This winter solstice feast has not stopped from the beginning! Why is the eldest princess of Longsheng so arrogant? Because she knew that my aunt and I had a fight!
Why did even my aunt ask me to bring me a bowl of bird's nest soup, but something went wrong halfway? Xianxian is the person you trust, and the person I trust, there is no problem with the bird's nest soup she brought to Princess Huayang, but there is a problem with the bird's nest soup she served to me, at least it was pointed out that there was a problem. Auntie still can't see why? It's an eventful season, and we're still the same as before, right? ”
The Empress Dowager was silent for a long time before she said slowly: "You go." ”
Mingzhu originally thought that even if the Empress Dowager couldn't listen to her words, she would more or less express a temporary reconciliation, but who knew that she would get such a sentence, and she was a little confused for a while.
"As I said earlier, the Tao is not the same. I can't do anything to you, after all, it's a child who has hurt me for more than ten years. The Empress Dowager gestured to her, "You were only so old at that time, holding me in your arms, staring at me with black bean-like eyes and smiling, I just had a daughter who had already been formed, and I immediately treated you as my own daughter." Over the years, except for your marriage, except for you being more naughty, you have indeed never disappointed me. You are filial and lovely, treat me sincerely, and do your daughter's filial piety, I like it very much. But when the child is older, he always has to go his own way. ”
Two tears slipped down from the corners of the Empress Dowager's eyes, and her voice trembled a little: "We are on different paths, what your father and brother are thinking about you, I know, but we each have our own missions, each has our own ideas, no one can convince anyone, and no one can force anyone." I believe that you did not deliberately lie to me, and I also believe that someone is trying to drive a wedge between us, but the facts are the facts, we have taken different paths, and sooner or later there will be disagreements. ”
Mingzhu stood up in disappointment: "Is there no way to compromise?" She didn't understand why the Empress Dowager had to insist on supporting Yuwenfu, and it was clear that Yuwenchu was better for the country to be the emperor.
"Nope. Fu'er They have your cousin's blood in their bodies, and I can't watch them go to a dead end, I have to fight. Now that you are a mother, you should understand this kind of feeling of caring for your cubs. The Empress Dowager put away her tears and said with a smile: "You are very good, you really grow up, you can protect yourself, you know how to maintain the overall situation, and you can learn to deal with things calmly, I am very happy." Ah Yan told me your suggestion, I will discuss with your father later, issue a decree for the 60th birthday, ask the vassal king to enter Beijing to congratulate, and the rest, don't persuade me anymore, I won't listen. ”
Speaking of which, Mingzhu knew that he couldn't persuade the Empress Dowager well, and it would be the best result to make the Empress Dowager more vigilant against King Zhongshan, and to win for the Empress Dowager and them to join forces to deal with King Zhongshan first. She saluted the Empress Dowager and did not persuade the Empress Dowager again
The Empress Dowager waved her hand tiredly: "I won't keep you, maybe it's better to stay away from each other." In the future, you will walk your way, and I will walk my way, and we will not be together anymore. ”
Mingzhu turned around and walked out, she didn't cry, being a mother is strong, she can't influence the queen mother's thoughts, but she can do a lot of things. Whether it is the Min family, Jiang Shanshan, Yu Wenyou, or Zhongshan Wang, she is not afraid.
Aunt Mu went in with a bowl of hot noodles, and saw the Queen Mother standing in front of the window staring at Mingzhu's back in a daze, and her eyes turned red: "Niangniang, why are you here!" ”
The Empress Dowager said lightly: "Kill the idle staff." Changxin Palace can't afford to toss. ”
