Chapter 116: Where the Heart Knot Is
In a blink of an eye, the first month has passed, this year's New Year's Festival is an eventful autumn, Qi Wangfu, Chengwangfu, and even the palace are in the mood because of repeated unpleasantness, and this New Year's Festival is hastily over.
After Min Qingrou was well, she didn't go out much, and stayed in Poria Xuan all day. However, she didn't do nothing, she was already starting to plan her next step against Situ Chi.
Since the third year of junior high school, Min Qingrou has never seen Situ Yue alone.
At the banquets in the palace, Min Qingrou did not follow because she was unwell. It's Shen Miaoling, and when there are no female relatives in the house, she has to go if she doesn't go.
Situ Yue didn't say a word about her following, and she followed freedom, but it was as if he didn't see her at all. But Shen Miaoling didn't care, she dealt with it calmly at the banquet, without the slightest timidity, as if she was used to seeing big scenes.
At the end of the first month, Shen Miaoling became familiar with the upper echelons of the Yaori Dynasty, and the families of the ministers of the court and the central government all knew this generous and decent Concubine Ling of the Qi Palace.
I was secretly guessing in my heart, no wonder King Qi would suddenly depose Thyme, it turned out that there was such a virtuous helper in the backyard.
But whether it is a virtuous helper or not, then the benevolent will see the benevolent and the wise will see the wise! It doesn't matter what others think, the important thing is that Concubine Lan in the harem finally noticed that something was wrong.
Except for the Chinese New Year's Eve state banquet, she never saw Min Qingrou again. At the beginning, Situ Yue prevaricated on the grounds that she was unwell, but later, Situ Yue did not have Min Qingrou by her side, but was replaced by Shen Miaoling, and she knew that the matter was serious!
On this day, Situ Yue entered the palace, and she quietly sent someone to invite him over, and made up her mind to ask what was going on.
When Situ Yue saw that it was Bingqin, the personal palace maid beside the concubine, who came to invite him, he knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he followed Bingqin to Jinglan Zhai with a heavy heart.
"Erchen greets my mother!"
Situ Yue entered the door and saw that Dongfang Lanyun was pruning the branches and leaves of the flowers and plants, so he slowly stepped forward to greet her.
"Hurry up!"
Dongfang Lanyun hurriedly put down the scissors in her hand, motioned to the palace maid on the side to take it down, and then reached out to help Situ Yue and pulled him to sit on the couch and looked up and down.
"Why haven't you seen you these days, and you've lost weight again? How did Qingrou take care of you? When she left last time, she promised her mother! Yue'er, what about Qingrou? Why didn't she come with you?"
She ...... I'm not in good shape. ”
Situ Yue's eyes were gloomy, and there was no smile on his face.
Dongfang Lanyun saw her son like this, and knew that there must be a hidden secret. So he glanced at Bingqin, and Bingqin willingly took all the palace maids down and closed the door.
"Yue'er, you honestly told your mother what happened to you and Qingrou? Why did your mother never see her since the state banquet? Later, you suddenly deposed the princess, and an unknown Ling Concubine came out again, what happened during this period?"
Dongfang Lanyun reprimanded the people around her, and couldn't wait to ask Situ Yue.
Situ Yue slowly raised his head and said in a heavy voice: "Mother, Rou'er and I ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to go back!"
When Dongfang Lanyun heard it, she was shocked. couldn't help but reach out and hold Situ Yue's hand, and just wanted to ask, he stared at his hand in amazement and said, "Yue'er, why are your hands so cold?"
Situ Yue avoided answering, just staring blankly, as if he hadn't heard.
Dongfang Lanyun hurriedly said: "What's wrong with your child? Why don't you tell your mother clearly? Are you still hiding it from me?"
In the end, Dongfang Lanyun's voice was a little choked.
The son, who had returned to normal, suddenly changed back to a gloomy and silent appearance, how could she not be anxious, how could she not be sad?
Situ Yue saw that Dongfang Lanyun was so worried and anxious, and couldn't help but feel a burst of heat surging up his nose.
"Mother, the child asks you, how are you doing in the palace?"
"Yue'er, why are you asking this suddenly?"
Dongfang Lanyun was stunned, not understanding what was going on with Situ Yue.
"Mother, you answer me! Seeing that your father favored other mothers, what do you think in your heart? You have been hiding in Jinglanzhai for so many years, are you resentful of your father and the emperor and refuse to forgive him?"
Situ Yue grabbed Dongfang Lanyun's hand a little eagerly and asked.
"You kid! Your father is the Emperor of the Ninety-Five, and it is common sense in the three palaces and six courts, and the mother concubine knows that she is only one of the women next to your father since she entered the palace, so how can she be resentful?"
Dongfang Lanyun replied as a matter of course, and did not seem to have the slightest jealousy.
"Yes, but why won't Rou'er forgive me?"
Situ Yue asked bitterly.
Not to mention that he couldn't help himself that day, even if he really favored other concubines, it was a matter of course! Since she didn't care about it before, why can't she accept it now?
She turned him away and didn't listen to any explanation from him, he was so angry that he wanted to fight and kill, but he couldn't find anyone to vent!
He held his sulk in his heart, almost holding back his internal injuries! Is this the punishment that Rou'er gave him?
He didn't mean to betray her, why couldn't she forgive him?
"Yue'er, what happened? Why didn't Qingrou forgive you? What did you do?"
Dongfang Lanyun faintly felt that this incident seemed to have dealt a big blow to Min Qingrou, otherwise the two would not have gotten into such a situation.
"Mother, the child didn't check for a while, was framed by the thyme design, and spoiled another concubine, Rou'er saw it and turned me away from then on, and never paid attention to it again!
"Is that all there is to it?"
Dongfang Lanyun was surprised, how could it be? Min Qingrou didn't look like a jealous and jealous woman, how could she turn him away for Yue'er's favor and other concubines?
Dongfang Lanyun naturally didn't know that Min Qingrou was so concerned about Situ Yue's betrayal because of the tragic experience in her previous life. In fact, she was not completely angry with Situ Yue when she closed the door, she just hated that she couldn't be born in an ordinary family in this life, and she still had to bear the pain of her previous life.
She hated herself. She came for revenge, but she was emotionally attached to Situ Yue, and Situ Yue, who didn't know it, not only did not give her the security she wanted, but also betrayed Situ Chi like Situ Chi.
She hated that she had become the daughter-in-law of the Situ family again, and she hated that she couldn't break off her love, she hated the tricks of fate, and she hated her powerlessness to resist!
Situ Yue has a sullen breath, why doesn't she have it?
She also wants to forgive Situ Yue, and she also wants to be a concubine of Princess Qi who knows the general situation, but she is not Min Qingrou, she is Dugu Tianyue!
She has her own ideas and principles, and she can't be a woman who goes with the flow!
It's a pity that Situ Yue's mother and son don't understand all this!
"Mother, is Erchen really wrong? How can Erchen get Rou'er to forgive me?"
Situ Yue was so helpless, the feeling of gaining and losing almost made him collapse again, he didn't even experience the joy of fighting Situ Chi's success, and he fell into the panic of losing Rou'er!
He couldn't afford to lose her!
"Yue'er, if Qingrou is really angry with you about this matter, then it's her fault! Don't say that you are a prince, even if you are an ordinary official eunuch, three wives and four concubines are common! How many concubines you have has nothing to do with her pampering! She should understand this! Yue'er, you don't have to be depressed about this matter, the mother concubine will call Qingrou over and talk to her properly! If she really doesn't know how to advance or retreat, then it is useless to keep her around! Just let go——"
"Mother!"
Situ Yue suddenly interrupted Dongfang Lanyun's words, and said with a heavy face: "Rou'er is not an ordinary concubine, she must stay with Erchen!"
"Why?" Dongfang Lanyun was surprised: "You have such a deep affection for her?" Yue'er, if the mother concubine remembers correctly, there is still someone hidden in your heart! Have you forgotten the person who made you change your temperament drastically? Or, she has been replaced by Min Qingrou?"
"No!" Situ Yue immediately shook his head, "She will always live in the heart of her son, and no one can erase it!"
"Then why ......"
"Because there are too many places on Rou'er like her!"
Dongfang Lanyun suddenly realized. "No wonder you care so much about Qingrou! So, you regard her as the person in your heart?"
Situ Yue didn't nod or shake his head, and was silent for a long time before he said: "Mother, it's not just because of this, there is another reason that Rou'er is my foundation building star, so she must stay by my side!"
"Building the foundation of Guixing? Yue'er, what do you mean by this?"
Dongfang Lanyun was puzzled for a while.
"Fang Zheng, a strategist under Erchen, is good at divination, and the rise of Rou'er is his prediction. Kill the Kui wood wolf and build the foundation of Biyuewu. This is the result of Fang Zheng's astrology. Mother Concubine, the son of the lord Star White Tiger, if you want to achieve great things, you can't do it without the help of these two stars! Therefore, Rou'er can't leave her son, and her son's fate is closely related to her!"
Situ Yue told Dongfang Lanyun about Fang Zheng's prophecy, this matter is very important, the mother concubine wants him to give up Rou'er, but his fate has already been linked to Rou'er, and it is impossible to separate!
"Is there such a thing?" Dongfang Lanyun was taken aback. "Yue'er, Fang Zheng's astrology is credible, isn't it Fang Shi's nonsense?"
"Erchen has always not believed in ghosts and gods, but this time Fang Zheng said, every sentence was tricked, and it was fulfilled time and again!
Situ Yue had long been convinced of Fang Zheng's prophecy, because from the beginning of Rou'er's drowning to the later rise of King Qi's backyard, it was all expected by Fang Zheng.
He had prophesied that he would depose thyme. He didn't think so at the time, because no matter how wrong Thyme was, he would be a member of the Thyme family after all, and later Thyme made a mistake, and Rou'er also advised him not to act impulsively. But in the end, he still abolished the thyme for Rou'er!
Everything is a certainty! But he is not sure about Rou'er at all! Fang Zheng said that Bi Yuewu was born to build a foundation for him, and he must treat it well. But now Rou'er ignores him, but he can only look at the door and sigh, helpless!
What the hell should he do? He can't let go, and he can't be forgiven, and that's the worry he can't get rid of these days!
"Yue'er, if that's the case, then Qingrou's matter must be carefully considered!"
Dongfang Lanyun listened, pondered for a while, and after a while, she raised her head and said with a solemn face: "Since Qingrou is beneficial to your great cause, you must not let her fend for herself! Yue'er, if you want to get her forgiveness now, you must find out what she cares about? If she cares about you pampering her, you must restrain your mind and devote yourself to her! At least before the great cause is accomplished, you must not make any extraneous branches! But if what she cares about is your heart, then you must temporarily offer your heart! A manly man can bend and stretch. At this time, you can't be rash! Don't worry, the mother concubine will also help you test it to see why Qingrou insists on refusing to forgive you!"
"Mother, Rou'er is sincere to me, in fact, Erchen is unwilling to use her! But her identity is destined to be used by me, so Erchen is particularly indulgent to her!"
He didn't plan to tell Min Qingrou about her identity. But he thought she wouldn't mind it, because she had clearly expressed to him that she would accompany him to fight for the throne!
In other words, she volunteered to help him! Then the fact that she is his foundation building star will only make her happier!
Those who achieve great things must be open-minded. If you are tolerant of her, she will willingly follow you. Qingrou's identity is special, you should be more tolerant of her!"
"Yes, Erchen knows. ”
"Okay, don't be depressed about this anymore! The concubine will send someone to call her and see if I can help you find out where her heart is!"
Dongfang Lanyun patted Situ Yue's hand and comforted.
"Thank you, Princess!"
Situ Yue breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and the depression of the past few days had been somewhat relieved.
I hope that the concubine can help him find out Rou'er's heart, so that he can talk to her openly and honestly.
