Chapter 321: This is the End of the Cause
After the first seven days of Concubine Lu, Marquis Su entered the palace to meet the emperor, and the two talked secretly in the imperial study for most of the day.
On the second day, in the court, Marquis Su made an excerpt and resigned on the grounds of the recurrence of an old injury.
The emperor naturally wanted to keep it for a show, and Marquis Su insisted again and again, and finally the emperor approved.
On the same day, Su Jingyi's punishment also came down, and she was demoted to a talented person on the grounds that she was delinquent in taking care of the concubine.
Su Jingyi froze in place, so desperate that she couldn't even cry.
From the concubine to the talented person, she has been demoted a few levels, and it is basically foreseeable that her future will be dark.
"Why do this to me!" Su Jingyi gritted her teeth and said word by word.
I hated the emperor in my heart, so I was ruthless.
At the beginning, it was obviously he who asked her to take care of the concubine, but he blamed her when something happened!
Don't bully people like this.
The palace maid helped her up from the cold ground and persuaded, "The green mountains left by the master are here, don't be afraid of no firewood, not to mention that you are the concubine of the Hou Mansion." ”
As long as his life is saved, the Hou Mansion is powerful and powerful, and his life in the harem will not be too sad.
Su Jingyi cheered up at this time, she still has Houfu as a backing, and she still has a chance.
Su Jingyi reluctantly persuaded herself to accept this result. On the second day, the people around the queen came to spread the word, and Mrs. Hou came to the palace to see her.
Su Jingyi's eyes lit up, "Quickly put on the refreshments and wait for my mother to come." ”
Mrs. Hou went to greet the queen first according to the rules, and waited for the queen to agree before coming to see Su Jingyi.
Su Jingyi was waiting for her at the door, and when she saw her coming, she pounced on her, and said aggrievedly, "Mother! ”
Mrs. Hou looked her up and down, except for losing weight, she seemed to be fine for the time being.
Entering the room, as soon as Mrs. Hou took a sip of tea, Su Jingyi said with red eyes, "Mother, you have to find a way to help me, otherwise I will be finished." ”
In the past, she softened her heart when she cried Mrs. Hou, but this time Mrs. Hou was unmoved, and even said earnestly, "Do you know that you are okay now, what did you get it for?" ”
Su Jingyi looked confused, "Mother, what do you mean?" ”
"Your father went to see the emperor in person, the Su family's power in the capital for many years, and a few ways to get money...... In short, the Su family sacrificed more than half of their net worth to exchange you for safety. Mrs. Hou said with a sad face.
"How can this be..."Su Jingyi's eyes widened in disbelief.
Mrs. Hou said uncomfortably, "Because you have suffered in the countryside, everyone spoils you and feels indebted to you." But Jingyi, how do I owe you, this time the Su family has paid it off, and you will have to do it yourself in the future. ”
Su Jingyi had a bad premonition in her heart, and took Mrs. Hou's hand in a panic, "Mother, what do you mean." ”
Mrs. Hou said word by word, "Your father has resigned, and the Su family will return to their ancestral hometown." ”
"In the future, you will be the only one in the capital, whether it is good or bad, no one can help you, you can do it yourself."
Mrs. Hou really regretted that she didn't teach her well and came to this point.
Su Jingyi was devastated, and said in a trance, "How can this be." ”
She was not favored in the first place, but now that her position is so low, the Su family is gone, what should she do?
"Mother, how can you leave me alone!"
Mrs. Hou looked at her tears unmoved, and even hated that iron could not become steel, "Do you know what the Su family paid to save your life!" ”
Mrs. Hou stuffed a stack of silver tickets into her hand, "This is my private money." Jingyi's future path is good or bad, you can see and walk by yourself, I may not be a good person, but as a mother, I have a clear conscience about you, you want too much, and the Su family is not worthy of your ambition. ”
Mrs. Hou touched her face, "Mother is gone, you have to be fine." ”
As soon as she left the palace, the strong Mrs. Hou burst into tears.
The current situation may be goodbye, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to see Su Jingyi in the future.
Mrs. Hou knew it in her heart, but she also knew that the Su family couldn't afford to lose, she was her mother, and she was the wife of the Su family, and she had no choice but to live the lives of more than 200 people.
She did everything she could do for Su Jingyi, and gave everything she could give.
Their mother-daughter relationship ends here.
————————————
In the palace, Second Lady Lu was waiting anxiously.
Lu Wanwan relied on the child in her belly to avoid the embarrassment of Concubine Lu Guifei, and followed the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to the palace.
After Lu Guifei's death, this child, who couldn't be saved, finally had a seizure.
After struggling for a day and a night, Lu Wanwan gave birth to a stillborn baby that lasted more than four months.
The Queen Mother was in charge, and the excerpt that was handed into the palace directly wrote that Concubine Lu died in childbirth, with one corpse and two lives.
The emperor glanced at it and didn't think much about it,
He felt that it was better to die, and he didn't want to have another brother or sister.
Lu Wanwan is the Lu family in the end, and the emperor handed over this matter to the queen to deal with and ordered her to be buried thickly.
Tao Mingran is a smart person, after rewarding things to the palace according to the rules, she doesn't ask what to do with it in the future, it is the queen mother's business, and it has nothing to do with her as a queen.
Forcibly left this child until now, Lu Wanwan's body was seriously injured, and she could not get up after lying for more than a month.
Externally, of course, she has already been buried.
Mrs. Lu personally combed her hair, even after going through so much, Lu Wanwan is still very young.
"Mother has calculated, the private money in these years plus the sale of the Zhuangzi shop in my hand, the money in my hand is enough for our mother and son to live comfortably." Mrs. Lu Er had a peaceful smile in her eyes, "The place chosen by my mother is a water town that is like spring all year round, which is very suitable for recuperating the body." Your grandmother and brother have already gone to buy the house first, and the nurse said that she would plant flowers in the yard and raise a cat waiting for you. ”
The bright and domineering Lu Jiazhu already had a quiet temperament, and her eyes were still bright after the vicissitudes of life, she held the hand of Mrs. Lu, "Mother, we will all be fine in the future." ”
Lu Yin's household registration, the Queen Mother promised at the beginning, and it has been done for them.
Lu Wanwan changed her name to Wen Jing, and she wished that the rest of her life would be quiet.
On a sunny afternoon, a horse-drawn carriage pulled out of the remote path behind the palace.
Jiang Yubai stood on a high place holding the Queen Mother's hand, watching the carriage disappear from view little by little, and said softly, "It's so good." ”
Go to a new life and start a different life.
Empress Dowager Xie patted her hand, "I will do what I promised you, and you will have a new beginning." ”
Jiang Yubai smiled slightly, "What about the Queen Mother?" ”
After staying in the palace for a long time, Jiang Yubai felt that the first emperor was not worthy of the Empress Dowager Xie, and such an excellent person buried his life in the palace.
Empress Dowager Xie held her hand and walked down slowly, "Over the years, I have lived for my family and my responsibilities. When Jing Chao enters Beijing, I will probably be able to live for myself once. ”
used to be the queen and now is the queen mother, and if she doesn't change the dynasty for a day, she must continue to be trapped in this deep palace.
She looked forward to that day.
