Chapter Seventy-Four: The Queen Mother is furious
If you want to say that Yu Xuanji came out, it can be said that the whole of Kyoto is boiling, everyone said that this Miss Yu San is so bold and courageous, so that Yan Wang Mo Chu is disgraced, not to mention, how embarrassing it is, for a while it became everyone's after-dinner tea, and this news spread to the ears of the Queen Mother, which also had a series of chain reactions.
When the Queen Mother first heard the news, she still didn't believe it, but after sending someone out to find out about it, she almost lost her anger and lifted the Fushou Palace. This Jade Xuanji is simply unscrupulous, and she doesn't look at the royal family in her eyes, because she still thinks she is a smart and knowledgeable woman.
"Aunt Yan, go to the Jade Mansion and ask Yu Xuanji to come to see the mourning family. ”
"Yes. After Aunt Yan responded, she subconsciously glanced at the angry Queen Mother, and then lowered her head and withdrew, to say that she had been with the Queen Mother for so many years, it was the first time she had seen the Queen Mother so angry.
Sitting on the carriage to the palace, Yu Xuanji closed her eyes and snuggled calmly on the cushion like tea, as if she was traveling, but Ruyi on the side had already red her eyes.
"Miss, what are you going to do in a while!"
If you want her to say that Miss is really big-hearted, now she is on this bone, and she is still sitting like this, Miss is clearly dissolving the marriage contract that day, but secretly humiliating His Royal Highness King Yan, the Queen Mother has always loved King Yan, if she is held accountable, Miss may not be able to afford it.
In fact, she is so indifferent, not that she is not afraid, but that she already has a plan in her heart to deal with it, otherwise no matter how bold she is, even if she doesn't take into account Mo Chuyun, but in front of the Queen Mother, she still has to estimate a few points, just like the so-called don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha.
"Enough. She opened her eyes suddenly, and there was a hint of displeasure in her brow. Ruyi has been shouting all the way, just like the endless screaming of flies in her ears, even if she has a plan, she will be yelling at her.
If it were someone else, she would have been thrown out of the carriage a long time ago, and only Ruyi could endure it for so long.
Ruyi glanced at her, thinking that the young lady must be in turmoil at the moment, and she seems to be a little too noisy along the way, thinking of this, Ruyi frowned and consciously silenced.
"Miss Yusan, it's here. Then the carriage stopped.
Hearing the sound, Ruyi glanced at Yu Xuanji, and then took care of the car curtain to both sides and hung it with silver hooks.
"Miss. ”
"Hmm. She replied without being salty, and got out of the carriage.
The one who went to the Jade Mansion to invite her was Aunt Yan beside the Queen Mother, this Aunt Yan is the emperor's nurse and the Queen Mother's henchman, and she is a person of great weight in the harem.
"Aunt Lao leads the way. Yu Xuanji smiled lightly, and her demeanor was generous.
Aunt Yan glanced at Yu Xuanji, looked at the smile on her face, and did not respond with a smile, but after bowing her head expressionlessly, she walked to the front by herself.
Yu Xuanji raised her chin unconsciously in embarrassment, worthy of being a human spirit who had been crawling in this harem for decades. Thinking of this, she smiled and walked up to follow Aunt Yan's steps.
When she arrived at Fushou Palace, Yu Xuanji waited outside first, and said that her aunt went in first to ask for instructions. When she came out, she was not Aunt Yan, but a little palace maid.
"Miss Yusan, please come in. ”
"Hmm. She bowed slightly, and walked in generously.
Bypassing the jade screen placed in front of the door, entering, a sandalwood fragrance came to the nose, and when the eyes swept away, I saw the Queen Mother sitting on the soft couch with her eyes closed and holding a string of Buddhist beads, and there were words in her mouth.
Yu Xuanji beat the drum in her heart and glanced at Aunt Yan, but then she avoided the light of her eyes.
Pursing her lips, Yu Xuanji Lian took a few steps forward, and then knelt on the ground.
"The courtier Xuanji asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye. ”
The Queen Mother flicked the fingertips of the Buddha beads for a moment, and then her eyes opened unhurriedly, only to see Yu Xuanji lying on the ground, so that people could not find the slightest mistake. However, the queen mother's anger in her heart did not subside, and when she saw her as the "culprit", her anger was suddenly raised again.
"The mourning family asks you, is the rumor circulating in Kyoto true now?" The Queen Mother suppressed the anger in her heart and asked in a gaffe. The old eyes that looked directly at Yu Xuanji were full of anger.
The Queen Mother didn't say a word to let her get up, and she naturally knelt obediently. Neither humble nor arrogant straightened up, and when the afterglow touched the anger in the eyes of the Queen Mother, he hurriedly lowered his eyes.
"Yes. She replied loudly.
"Bold. The Queen Mother's apricot eyes widened, all her anger erupted at once, and she unconsciously reprimanded, picked up the tea cup on the side and threw it at her.
The teacup was thrown on her forehead as if it had eyes, and there was undrunk hot tea in the teacup, so she subconsciously lowered her head in pain, otherwise the hot tea poured on her face would be really unimaginable. Even so, she still couldn't avoid the hot tea splashing on her face and neck.
"Hmm. She gritted her teeth in pain, but could only endure it in silence. She frowned and glanced at the tea leaves on her knees, all the hot tea had fallen onto the hem of her skirt, which was already soaking wet.
Even so, her body only trembled slightly, and then she knelt straight like a pine and cypress. It doesn't seem to hurt at all.
Seeing this, even Aunt Yan couldn't help frowning, the tea was just on, and the boiling water fell on her body, you can imagine how painful it was, which shows how angry the Queen Mother was about Miss Yusan and His Royal Highness King Yan. knows the queen mother's mind well, even if she can't bear it, Aunt Yan just looks away, and she doesn't see it.
It's just that this Miss Yusan is really a bold woman.
And Ruyi, who was kneeling behind Yu Xuanji, was even more shocked in his heart, it seemed that the Queen Mother was really angry! What should I do...... At this moment, Ruyi felt that he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
"The mourning family asked you, why did you break the marriage?" Empress Dowager Zhao asked word by word, but her tone was relatively soothing compared to the previous crossbow pulling, just because Yu Xuanji's tenacity and courage made her seem to see herself when she was young.
"In order to fulfill His Royal Highness King Yan and his second sister. She pursed her aching pale lips and replied.
"Presumptuous. The Queen Mother slapped her palm on the table, and the anger that had just subsided had a tendency to rekindle: "Do you know that this is a marriage given by the emperor, how can you be allowed to play so far?
Yu Xuanji hooked her body slightly, and responded decently: "The second sister is pregnant, and she is His Royal Highness King Yan." ”
But obviously, her words did not play any role in reducing the anger of the Empress Dowager Zhao, and even made the anger of the Empress Dowager Zhao rise unabated, but it was mixed with consternation. She had also heard of the affair between Ji'er and the second lady of Yufu, but she didn't expect them to be so bold.
"Really?" Empress Dowager Zhao looked at her scrutinically, undisguised suspicion written on her face.
"The courtiers dare not deceive the Queen Mother. ”
Hearing this, the Queen Mother frowned, but it was only a moment before she recovered.
"Then the mourning family asks you again, you threatened in public that you abandoned Ji'er, where did you put Ji'er, where did you put the royal face?"
In fact, since she dared to speak out in public that day, she naturally expected that today would come, and the reason why she was so indifferent in the carriage was because she had already left a way back for herself. That road is Mo Chuye.
As early as the second day after the play in front of the Yanwang Mansion ended, she asked Ruyi to take the jade pendant and a letter given to her by Mo Chuye to find out the steward of the palace procurement office, and send it to Gonggong Li through the hand of the steward, and when it came to Gonggong Li, it naturally went to Mo Chuye's hands.
She simply guessed correctly, and also bet correctly that the Queen Mother would be in trouble today. So in her letter to Mo Chuye, she wrote that she would meet to play chess at Shili Pinghu Lake today, and Mo Chuye would not be able to wait for a long time, so she would naturally send someone to the Jade Mansion to investigate, so that she could quietly lure Mo Chuye over to save herself.
If you want to ask her why she didn't go directly to Mo Chuye, but made such a big detour, she would definitely smile and groan: What others tell is different from what she hears.
"The courtiers are in a hurry, and they really didn't choose what to say that day. Yu Xuanji said in a panic, but in fact, her eyes were dark, her humiliation of Mo Chuyun was a sure thing, the more quibbles, the more useless, and it would completely anger the Queen Mother. So the best thing is to admit your mistakes.
"It's a good mouth. Empress Dowager Zhao laughed angrily, what a third lady of the Jade Mansion, humiliating the prince of the dynasty in public, and wanting to fool the past without choosing a word.
"Come on, Yu Xuanji humiliated the prince of the dynasty in public, the crime is unforgivable, and he should be beaten with fifty boards to set an example. ”
Fifty boards! Isn't this the life of the young lady? Ruyi was shocked when she heard this.
Aunt Yan also frowned, how could Yu Xuanji, this young lady, be able to stand it?
Seeing this, even if Aunt Yan wanted to help Yu Xuanji, she could only shut up powerlessly.
However, Yu Xuanji bit her lip tightly, her eyebrows narrowed, and the dark light was frivolous. Yu Guang looked out of the door quietly, what was going on? It stands to reason that Mo Chuye should have known that she had entered the palace! Why didn't she come yet?
Empress Dowager Zhao had just finished speaking, and the old eunuch on the side glanced at the two little eunuchs, and the two little eunuchs with their heads walked towards Yu Xuanji knowingly.
"The execution was carried out right here. Empress Dowager Zhao looked at Yu Xuanji, who was silent with her head down, and said coldly. She thought that Yu Xuanji was already frightened, and she lowered her head because she was afraid.
"Yes. The old eunuch answered, and the two little eunuchs glanced at each other, then retreated, thinking that they were going to get the torture instruments.
You can imagine how the Queen Mother looks at her unpleasantly at the moment, but the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and the one who should come will always come. Thinking of this, she closed her eyes and exhaled for a moment.
However, as soon as her palms were loosened, she found that she had pinched a cold sweat, could it be that she made a mistake and Mo Chuye didn't come............
"Queen Mother, do you spare Miss! The slave is willing to be punished for Miss?" Ruyi didn't have Yu Xuanji's calm and unhurried courage, and when she was so anxious, she couldn't care what the occasion was, and she couldn't stop crying.
She must not let the young lady have any trouble.
Hearing the sound, Yu Xuanji frowned, sighed in her heart, and secretly said that it was not good, and her wide eyes subconsciously turned her head to look at her face full of tears, kowtowing to her wishful thinking.
Sure enough, her premonition was not wrong, and the Ruyi words just fell, and Empress Dowager Zhao's face turned a little colder.
"Well, for the sake of your lord-servant affection, you will each have fifty boards. ”
Fifty boards each! Ruyi's kowtowing action was stagnant, and he was stunned on the spot in an instant............ How...... How so............
Yu Xuanji closed her eyes for a moment, and secretly gritted her teeth, the Queen Mother is really amazing...... But Ruyi was so stupid, she couldn't see the situation clearly, and she knew that she shouldn't have taken her into the palace with her............
