Chapter 19: The Smell of Gunpowder
"Well, it's good to know, the rules in the palace should be learned, and in other people's homes it is not like in your own home. The Queen Mother sighed and continued to speak sourly.
Luoxue could only nod obediently.
"Imperial Physician Wang, you go back first, there's nothing to do with you here. King Qi said to Wang Yun that Wang Yun would only make himself more embarrassed here, and it was the best choice to send him out.
Wang Yun had long wanted to escape from this place, and if he stayed here for a second longer, he felt that the injuries on his body would be aggravated. This judgment of the two of them before and after the imperial physician really made Luoxue a little sad, he was very grateful to this man and a little disappointed at the same time.
"Find a set of clothes for Zhaoping to cover his body, after all, this is in the palace, and if it is spread out, it will make everyone laugh. ”
Looking at the snow, the Queen Mother said, the Queen Mother can also imagine that this monarch has left a way for this woman to live. When this woman was arranged to Qiongyuan, the Queen Mother thought about it, and this arrangement could make the Queen Mother's heart still be greatly satisfied after a few years.
Luoxue nodded, fortunately, the emperor had not confiscated all his clothes, Luoxue casually took out a piece of clothing and covered her body and wrapped her bare arms.
"Queen Mother, Luoxue will abide by the rules of the palace, let the Queen Mother bother. ”
"It would be best if you really knew, this king doesn't want today's events to happen again, you better remember. "King Qi's nature is exposed again, this man regards dignity as more important than life, doesn't Luoxue understand?
It's just that I'm not the kind of casual person who falls into the snow, and I'm completely dead to men now, but I know that what I should do or have to do it. The moment he left the palace, there was no turning back, there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, and he would only go deeper and deeper.
What if the catastrophe is not recovered, it is all fate.
Luoxue would not refute him in front of the Queen Mother and the Empress, Luoxue was silent, just stood there quietly.
"Wang'er, there is one more thing that the queen mother is not clear, I don't know if you have thought about it?" The queen mother suddenly changed her words, and King Qi's expression changed slightly, and he said: "Queen mother, what else is there that you don't understand?"
Luoxue just listened with her ears, and she could feel that maybe the next topic was a little sensitive, but no one asked her to avoid it, so she naturally couldn't go.
"Your fourth brother has been guarding the border for two years, and he is already weak, when will you be able to let him return to Beijing?"
Listening to his mother talk about the fourth brother who guarded the border pass, King Qi's brows furrowed tightly, his fourth brother was not an ordinary person. It was Mitian's idea to let him guard the border pass, and Mitian asked him to transfer him out of the capital, and this time it was two years.
King Qi's trust in Mitian has long gone beyond the scope of monarchs and ministers, which the court of Qi knows this, and it was even rumored that King Qi had another feeling for Mitian. It's just that no one dares to talk about it, even Luoxue herself once thought so.
"Queen Mother, you have always loved the fourth brother, but the fourth brother himself is willing to go to the border pass. ”
"Don't I love you, your fourth brother has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and guarding the border is a heavenly idea. In your eyes, your fourth brother is not as good as a man, you are brothers. The Queen Mother's tone changed slightly, and the whole room was suddenly filled with the smell of gunpowder.
"Queen Mother, don't be angry, this is a family matter, we should not discuss it here. Let's go back to the palace, the king is late, you should go back and rest early. ”
Empress Wu is very good at looking at the situation, and her words are very useful to the Queen Mother, who just sighed.
In her heart, the frail and sickly son has always been her heart, and she misses him a lot in the days when she guards the border.
King Qi's heart was also difficult to calm down at this time, from childhood to adulthood, his fourth brother was the best in everything. As a mother, he really cared about himself a few times, but his nurse loved him abnormally, except that she was his father.
But his father was a strict king, and the king of Qi himself did not suffer less, and under the care of his father, he was tied to a horse by his father because of disobedience, and ran on the road for two hours. This taste is unusually uncomfortable, and now I still have palpitations when I think about it, and the so-called love of the queen mother in front of me is just a sentence of "Yuan'er, does it hurt?"
The fourth brother is not like this, as soon as he coughs, this person as a mother will hold him in his arms, and he will immediately summon the imperial doctor. Even if the fourth brother wants the stars and moon in the sky, she will do everything she can to make the fourth brother happy, and there is no one happier in the world than his fourth brother.
His fourth brother was quite good with him when he was a child, but the more he grew up, the colder the relationship between the two became, but King Qi knew that his younger brother's ability was not small. Don't look at him since he was a child, he has been weak and sickly, but his kung fu is abnormal, and King Qi himself is not sure that he can beat him in a one-on-one battle.
"Queen Mother, it's getting late, go back. ”
Luoxue didn't want this queen mother to stay in Qiongyuan all the time, she made herself feel extremely urgent here, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
"Queen Mother, it's cold, go back. Zhaoping deserves death, let the Queen Mother visit Qiongyuan on a cold winter night, if the Queen Mother has another cold Zhaoping really can't afford it. Luoxue knelt down and said, saying every word very sincerely, and she realized that she didn't have the ability to act.
Although this queen mother is strong, she also knows that the woman in front of her is currently unable to move, and she has not done anything particularly excessive. Keep it for the time being, maybe it will be useful in the future, and killing her seems a bit of a waste of material.
"Alas, okay! It's good to know that my mistakes can be corrected, and the palace is also tired, so Yue'er will help me go back to the palace. The Queen Mother sighed, got up, and Wu Yue'er helped her to walk outside the house.
"Your ......, Your King"
"You go back first, this king still has some things to explain to her, so that she can remember a little longer. ”
King Qi didn't want to leave, there seemed to be a magic force here that controlled him, making him want to stay for the time being. Wu Yue'er's heart trembled, but she didn't say anything.
"Then the king, go back early to rest, I will accompany the queen mother tonight, and the queen mother will go." "May Yue'er served this Queen Mother very well, which made the Queen Mother very happy, and another reason why she liked this Wu Yue'er was that they were very similar when they were young.
The group left Qiongyuan, and there were fine beads of sweat on the palms of the Queen Mother, and she was like she suddenly had a dream. Coming to this place again after many years will make her back cold, but fortunately, she has practiced the ability to be unfazed after so many years.
"Yue'er, do you know why I like you so much, have you ever thought about it?" The Queen Mother suddenly asked, Wu'er didn't expect her to ask like this, but she turned to smile and said: "How does Yue'er know, Yue'er only knows how to serve you well and not make you angry." ”
"I like you because the two of us were very similar when we were young, and the more important reason is that you love Yuan'er, and loving her is equivalent to loving Qi Guo. "The Queen Mother said so, but the Queen Mother's own heart is also very contradictory, does Qi Yuan really love her?
Could it be because he loved King Gu and Qi Guo deeply when he was young, so he loved this Wu Yue'er?
"Mother, I am certainly loyal to the King, and I love him more than he loves me. ”
In the past, the Queen Mother also loved King Gu so much, but the person King Gu loved deeply was not herself, and the Queen Mother had an intuition that the person that King Qi loved today was not Wu Yue'er. What he loved deeply was his country, his great general, and he sent his younger brother to the border for the sake of that man's words.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's show fists clenched, and her expression became fierce.
