Chapter 105: The Empress Dowager is imprisoned
Ai Qing lived in a state of confusion, Ah Qi said that Mu Chun still did not go to the court today, and he sat at the chess table in the small courtyard and lost his mind, but heard the pears in the Queen Mother's palace come to report in a panic.
"Niangniang, the emperor and the queen mother were imprisoned by the emperor?"
"What?" Ai Qing stood up in astonishment and asked, "What happened?" ”
"The emperor ignored the government and hung the king of Ji who came to visit the court in the palace and ignored it. But he saw ...... Seeing the emperor and Concubine Chu drinking and having fun in the Qianzheng Palace, he argued with the emperor in a fit of anger. Later, somehow the emperor ordered someone to confine the Queen Mother and the Emperor Taishang, and ordered them not to leave the Xihua Palace for half a step! ”
"It can't be!" Ai Qing shook his head and couldn't believe it anyway: "This is not something he can do, we will go to Xihua Hall now." ”
In the past two days, the sun has been shining brightly but not strong, and the wind has blown the palace inside and outside, and everyone in the palace knows that the emperor has changed his mind, and this Chiyun harem is afraid that it is going to change the sky.
Ai Qing listened to the discussions of the palace people, but he didn't know it, and hurried to the Qinghua Palace.
When I entered the courtyard gate, I saw that Mu Luoying's mother and son were also there, and I thought that they had heard the news before they hurried here.
"Qin'er, why are you here too?" The Queen Mother heard the girl's report and greeted her. The eyes were pale, as if they had aged a lot in an instant, and the graceful and indifferent look that had been before had disappeared.
Ai Qing felt a pain in her heart, and only asked: "Father, mother, what happened?" Why did the emperor order someone to imprison you? ”
"Jie'er has been acting absurdly recently, how can he still be worthy of the word 'emperor'!" The Emperor Taishang sat on the throne with a depressed face, and his tone was full of anger: "I think that this world is not as important as a woman in his eyes." The woman in his mouth naturally refers to Chu Yin.
Hearing these words in Ai Qing's ears, it pierced into his heart like a needlepoint, could it be that he suddenly changed because of Chu Yin? In the past, no matter how much he pampered himself, he would not ignore the country, but now for Chu Yin, he not only abandoned the government, but also ordered the emperor and the queen mother to be imprisoned. This kind of him made Ai Qing feel strange and disappointed.
was losing his mind, and heard Mu Luoying muttering for fear that the world would not be chaotic: "Isn't this the true inheritance of my father?" Besides, according to his daughter, it is a good thing for the emperor to marry a few more concubines, the Mu family's heirs are thin, although Chu Yin made mistakes in the past, but he also gave birth to a prince for the emperor, and it is understandable that the emperor has figured out more favoring her these days. As for the confinement, his father and emperor passed the throne to him, so he shouldn't interfere anymore, so it's no wonder that the emperor is angry. ”
"Sakura, what are you talking about?" The Queen Mother was so angry that she almost didn't stand firm on her back, but fortunately she was supported by Ai Qing and Lizi.
Seeing this, Mu Luoying also seemed to feel that her words were serious, and swallowed back the words that she was about to blurt out again, and the hall was quiet for a while, and the atmosphere was so solemn that it was suffocating.
Wen Yuan, who was pulled aside by Wen Che and stood and listened for a long time, saw that no one spoke, so he ran to Ai Qing, turned his head and said to Mu Luoying: "It is obvious that the emperor's uncle does not keep his word, he said that no one can take away the favor of his uncle, but now he welcomes that bad woman into the palace." Yuan'er didn't like that person, but her mother still wanted to please her every day. ”
"Mandarin mandarins!"
Mu Luoying saw that her daughter was going to reveal the bottom and wanted to drink it, but Wen Yuan didn't seem to buy it, and continued: "Just now you and your father said in the dormitory, Yuan'er heard it, you want to be a bad woman to play the words of the emperor's uncle......"
Mu Luoying stepped forward in a hurry to block Wen Yuan's mouth, and her face was red and white.
Although Wen Yuan failed to say all those words, but all the things here have been revealed, King Ji came this time with a purpose, at first put aside his prejudices and borrowed Wen Yuan to curry favor with Ai Qing, but now he sees that Chu Yin is powerful and openly and secretly helps Chu Yin, all he wants is Chiyun's way to explore the oil field and extract oil.
But what they didn't know was that all the things that made Chiyun strong came from Ai Qing, and with the topography of Luo Cave, the possibility of finding a naturally leaking oil field was almost zero.
Although the Emperor Taishang rarely took care of the affairs of the court after his abdication, he was also well aware of Luo Gu's intentions. At this moment, looking at this daughter who was eating inside and out, and thinking of his son's seclusion, he threw the teacup in his hand in a fit of anger, smashed it at Mu Luoying's feet, and smashed it. trembling and hoarse: "I'm afraid that my Mu family's country will be destroyed in the hands of your brothers and sisters!" ”
Mu Luoying had never seen the Emperor Taishang make such a big fire, and she didn't dare to say anything on the spot for a long time. She originally wanted to take this opportunity to make a great contribution in front of King Ji, so as to suppress the arrogance of those concubines in the palace, but she didn't expect it to be self-defeating, making Chiyun angry with Luo Cave.
Wen Yuan saw that the emperor was so angry, and he more or less knew that it was because of his words, so he cried in fright.
Although the Queen Mother was angry at Mu Luoying's actions, she was reluctant to cry this granddaughter, and stretched out her hand to signal her to go over and hold her in her arms to comfort her.
"Luoguo is my daughter's husband's family, can't my father tell me the way to find oil in his daughter's face? You think about the country of Chiyun every day, have you ever thought about how much calculation your daughter has suffered to keep the position of princess? If you can't make meritorious contributions to Luo Cave this time, I'm afraid that sooner or later the prince will depose his daughter and help others to take the throne, how can my daughter live then!? ”
Mu Luoying said her situation in the Ji Wangfu word by word, and her tone was full of resentment. Ai Qing only felt sad when she heard these words, this ancient woman was too poisoned by the three obedience and four virtues, and she respected her husband in everything, and felt that she couldn't live without a man, and a good princess was forced to become a resentful woman with no principles and bottom line.
When the Emperor Taishang heard her words, there was pity flashing in his eyes, but he disappeared after only a moment, and only said: "You were the one who married King Ji with all your heart that day, and how much suffering you have suffered now is all caused by yourself."
Do you remember that Luoguo is your husband's family, but do you remember that your roots are in Chiyun? Chiyun has been poor and oppressed all these years, you have never asked, now that you are strong, but you want to betray Chiyun for your own selfish desires, you go and tell King Ji that he wants to visit, I Chiyun is welcome, but don't want to take away a grain of sand when you leave! ”
The Emperor Taishang's words were extremely serious, Mu Luoying stood there biting her lip and didn't dare to say anything more, but Wen Che wanted to intercede, but was glared back by the Emperor Taishang's eyes.
------
Mu Luoying naturally didn't dare to tell King Ji what the Emperor said, but this matter was so big that King Ji had heard about it more or less, and he resigned with a gloomy face on the second day.
He was very unhappy to return in vain, Mu Luoying's mother and son were only afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat after they went back, Ai Qing was not worried about Mu Luoying, but she was afraid that Wen Yuan would be wronged, so she quietly took a few production drawings such as bicycles to the Queen Mother, and asked her to transfer them to Mu Luoying, saying that it was obtained at a high price by Chiyunhua, and it would not be too embarrassing for her to take it back as a small achievement.
In fact, Ai Qing is not stupid, these half-difficult objects will be imitated by craftsmen from other countries sooner or later, taking it early and taking it late will not have much impact on Chiyun, as long as some core and most profitable technologies are not leaked, Chiyun will always have endless money.
She had vowed to turn the desert into an oasis for Mu Chun, and to make Chiyun's subjects have no worries about food and clothing, but now that this vow has only been half fulfilled, that person has already changed his mind. Thinking that he was still planning for his world at this moment, Ai Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Fang Cai Aqi said that Mu Chun decided to go to the court today, but he went with Chu Yin, Chu Yin sat on the phoenix seat next to him, and talked about the draft above the court, and his words were absurd, which caused a lot of discussion in the court.
But Ai Qing listened to these words in her ears, but she was surprisingly calm, she only felt that her heart was probably dead! Otherwise, how can it not be painful or itchy!
Seeing that the black wolf in front of him was already able to sway and walk on the ground, Ai Qing stroked his stomach and sighed lightly, and asked him, "King Yan, do you think I'm dead?"
He doesn't love me anymore, and I should die too. ”
Mu Chun walked to her with one limp and squatted down, shaking his head, he wanted to tell her that he still loved her, and he loved her all his life!
