Chapter 39: I Saw You When I Was a Child
Qian Ling said anxiously: "Ask the queen mother for advice, the sinner girl is willing to give it a try." ”
The Queen Mother: "The mourning family can put you under the name of my mother's Xu family, change your name to 'Xu Ling', and accept you as a niece." In this way, your identity will no longer be the daughter of a criminal minister, and you can marry the emperor in a righteous and bright manner. If you are angry, one day you will be the master of the middle palace, and you and I will be able to rely on each other for our lives. ”
Qian Ling clasped her fingers together, she knew that the road would be full of thorns, but if she didn't leave, she could really only watch her father's head being cut off and hanging on the city wall.
After a while, she knelt on the ground: "Xu Ling visits the imperial aunt." ”
The Empress Dowager smiled with satisfaction, "Tonight, the Lake Pavilion will be dewed into frost, presumably the emperor will come, you seize the opportunity, don't let down your aunt's favor for you." ”
Qian Ling should be.
.
In the evening, the moon rises above the treetops, and the palace is silent.
A warm sedan chair is parked in the reeds by the lake.
Gan Tang helped Yang Leyu to come out, jumping to overlook the pavilion in the middle of the lake, as if there was a candlelight shining.
said: "Concubine, Your Majesty really has a heart, although you have reduced your monthly salary, but you have specially set up a candlelight dinner to treat you!" ”
Yang Leyu patted the back of her hand, "Don't talk nonsense, who knows what kind of heart he has?" ”
Gan Tang knew that her concubine was thin-skinned, so she simply didn't say much, and rowed Yang Leyu to the Huxin Pavilion.
The oars made a breaking sound on the quiet lake, and they were moving slowly, but gradually found that another light boat was also quietly approaching the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Yang Leyu saw that there was a red lantern hanging on the light boat, which did not look like it was ridden by the palace maid, so he asked Gan Tang to stop paddling and wait and see.
The red light boat approached the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and Qian Ling stepped from the boat.
Gan Tang whispered: "Concubine, why is Miss Qian here?" ”
Yang Leyu also wondered, Qian Ling was dazzling and gorgeous tonight, and her dresses were all made of high-quality satin, which showed that she was dressed carefully.
Qian Ling just gave her the most valuable dress, who did she get this luxurious dress from?
Qian Ling approached the pavilion with her arms, only to see that the pavilion was decorated with glazed palace lamps, and there were all kinds of dishes and wines on the table.
Mu Chengzhou bent one leg on the bench in the pavilion, looked up at the moon, and hummed a little song leisurely.
Yang Leyu heard that he was humming 'the moon represents my heart'.
How can this rebel come up with this song?! Could it be that he is really Huo Yu?!
Qian Ling slowly approached him and bowed on her knees, "The courtier Xu Ling has seen Your Majesty Wan'an. ”
As early as a few hours ago, the queen mother announced the news of accepting the orphan daughter of the Qian family into the Xu family tree, and Qian Ling carefully followed Yi's decree and changed her name.
Mu Chengzhou glanced back at her, and did not show a look of surprise at this uninvited guest.
"Have you eaten it?" ”
Qian Ling shook her head.
Mu Chengzhou sat down in his robe and motioned for her to sit too.
Qian Ling sat upright and didn't dare to move the chopsticks.
Mu Chengzhou poured wine for her and said indifferently: "I just beheaded your father." ”
Qian Lingdeng's eyes widened, "Why!?" She grabbed Mu Chengzhou's knee, "The Queen Mother said that as long as I have a relationship with Your Majesty, Your Majesty will spare my father's life!" ”
Mu Chengzhou looked at her, "I don't like to wander around the routes planned by others. Also, you should know that listening to others will only embarrass you. ”
The bad news came too suddenly, not only Qian Ling, but even Yang Leyu on the boat was stunned.
The night breeze blew on Qian Ling's miserable face as white as snow, and she trembled and cried.
Mu Chengzhou handed her the glass of wine, "The Qian family needs to travel thousands of miles to send troops to the army, but you are innocent, I know." If you wish, I can leave you in the palace for the rest of your life, with your sheep sister. ”
Qian Ling choked up and said, "What is the interesting thing about me living alone in this high-walled and deep palace?" Your Majesty doesn't have to pity me. ”
When Mu Chengzhou heard her say this, he said, "Then use this glass of wine to toast your father." ”
Qian Ling trembled and took the wine cup and sprinkled it on the ground.
The night was as thick as a block, and Yang Leyu looked sad, forgetting the purpose of the trip for a while.
Qian Ling stood up on her knees, "The sinner girl is willing to go to the frontier with her family to fill the army, please ask Your Majesty for permission." ”
Mu Chengzhou bowed his head, "I will order Jiang Ben to escort you, and you will not be wronged." ”
Qian Ling nodded slightly and turned her back and left.
The frost reflected the moonlight on her back, lonely and lonely.
The red-light boat moved again, passing by Yang Leyu's boat.
Yang Leyu looked back, and Qian Ling smiled faintly at her, like a woman who was as bright as the morning sun on that day.
Gan Tang docked the boat at the pavilion, and Yang Leyu slowly walked to Mu Chengzhou, who was guarding the table alone.
Mu Chengzhou said: "Does the little sheep complain about me? ”
Yang Leyu shook his head, sat down to himself, and drank a glass of wine, "Your Majesty is right to do this, presumably Qian Ling will not be resentful." ”
Mu Chengzhou watched the red light boat gradually move away from a distance, "Qian Ling grew up too late, at her age, I have long understood that tears and begging are useless, and only means and blood can kill a way." ”
Yang Leyu: "I want to listen, are you willing to talk about it by boat?" ”
Mu Chengzhou looked at her with a smile and took a sip of wine, "When I was a child, my mother was framed and killed by the Queen Mother, and she didn't even have time to prepare the coffin, so she was buried in a mass grave. Since then, I've vowed to win the power and one day make these wicked people pay.
Who dares to disobey me now? I am the Son of Heaven, and a word can kill a people, and they know that they are afraid, so they dare not make a mistake. ”
Yang Leyu: "But it's always bad to kill innocents indiscriminately, and you let the concubines of the first emperor accompany you to the funeral that day, is it also a means?" ”
Mu Chengzhou raised his eyebrows in mockery, "If I say that they are not dead, do you believe it?" ”
Yang Leyu was taken aback: "What? ”
Mu Chengzhou said with a smile: "I asked Feng Bao to pull them to the imperial mausoleum, and then dismissed them, and I didn't mean to accompany them to the funeral from beginning to end." ”
The more Yang Leyu listened, the more confused he became: "Then why are you ......?"
Mu Chengzhou knew what she wanted to ask, "Because of you, concubine." He picked up Yang Leyu's jaw, "I want to get you, how can I hold it if I don't scare you?" ”
Yang Leyu looked at him in a daze,
Mu Chengzhou looked at her, "I saw you when I was very young, and you forgot." ”
Yang Leyu secretly said that it is impossible, this is the metaverse, when she was young, the developers were still gnawing on the nest!
Yang Leyu approached him and looked at him with watery eyes: "Hum the tune you just hummed again." ”
Mu Chengzhou: "What tune?" ”
Yang Leyu: "The moon represents my heart. ”
"It turns out that the title of the song is so vulgar." Mu Chengzhou smiled suddenly, and his eyes swept from Yang Leyu's face, "I hum casually, I don't know the name." ”
Yang Leyu can't let him go easily, Mu Chengzhou's back waist not only has a golden Meta logo, but also hums this old song, saying that he is not Huo Yu and no one believes him.
"How do you know this tune?" Yang Leyu said.
