Chapter 260: The Past Is Like a Dream Like the Wind
Xu Zun waited for half an hour in the flowerbed full of flowers, but still didn't see the Empress Dowager Lin appear.
Looking at the looming curtains and smelling the fragrance of flowers, Xu Zun finally calmed down and fell into deep thought.
It is conceivable that after such a thrilling assassination, a large group of people will inevitably be unlucky.
In addition to the internal guards, all those suspected in this case may not escape punishment.
Although Xu Zun didn't know Empress Dowager Lin's personality, he had already instinctively felt that Empress Dowager Lin's anger had reached its peak.
Next, the entire Holy Capital, and even the entire Great Xuan, may usher in a new bloody storm!
I don't know how many people will have to pay with their lives to fill the anger of Empress Dowager Lin.
Of course, Xu Zun had also thought that his situation was also difficult to judge.
Although he had a meritorious role in saving the driver, he still put the Queen Mother in danger, so it is difficult to predict whether the merit is or not, and it is all in the thought of the Empress Dowager Lin.
However, Xu Zun speculated that since the Queen Mother talked to him so quickly, and was in this flowerbed full of flowers, perhaps, she did not mean to punish herself.
It is more likely that he should thoroughly investigate this Xuanmen assassination incident and find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
But...... At this time, Xu Zun found that the Xuanmen Heavenly Tribulation Incident was a huge political whirlpool, and the people behind the Xuanmen seemed to be far beyond his imagination......
Finally, with a slight sound, in the curtain, Empress Dowager Lin took graceful steps and sat on the phoenix chair in the middle.
But seeing that the Empress Dowager Lin had already changed her clothes, there was a fragrance wafting from afar, she should have just bathed and changed clothes.
Xu Zun hurriedly came to the front and prepared to bow and bow.
"Excuse me, Xu Aiqing," who knows, but Empress Dowager Lin said first, "Give me a seat." ”
"This ...... Empress Dowager Xie! "Xu Zun didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so polite to him, why did she still call Aiqing?
He looked left and right, and although the queen mother shouted for a seat, no eunuch really pulled a chair for him.
Embarrassed, he had to take a few steps back and sit down on the guest chair on the side of the flower garden.
"Xiang'er's surname is Qi," As a result, before Xu Zun could sit down, Empress Dowager Lin said abruptly: "I am also a child of a family of nobles in the Central Plains, I, Qi Xiang'er and Dongfang's bewitching father Dongfang Jin are childhood friends, and the three of us are best friends!" ”
"......" Xu Zun was speechless, feeling that his ass was a little unsteady.
"Brother Dongfang is handsome and dignified," Empress Dowager Lin said to herself as if she was in memory, "I am infatuated with Miss Xiang'er, and we both regard him as our wishful husband, although I am so young, I still have to fight for the wind and jealousy, and rush to please our Dongfang brother......"
Oh......
Xu Zun suddenly figured out one thing, no wonder Dongfang Enchanting was attacked twice by the Xuanmen rebels, but all of them miraculously survived.
Perhaps, Qi Xiang'er still remembered the old love, and ordered her subordinates not to hurt the life of Dongfang Enchanting, right?
"Later......" Empress Dowager Lin recalled, "in this battle for lovers, I lost a mess and lost completely."
"Although I tried my best, Brother Dongfang finally chose her!
"Since then, I have come to understand that true feelings cannot be shaken by schemes.
"It's really a trick, and I still wonder if I had won then, what would it be like now?"
Hearing this, Xu Zun swallowed his saliva unconsciously, but he didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Lin, who was in power all over the world, would have such a past.
"Later, I was arranged by the family to marry the royal family," Empress Dowager Lin continued, "Qi Xiang'er married Brother Dongfang and gave birth to a bewitching ......"
I'll go, Xu Zun almost fell off the chair, but I didn't expect that I still wanted to be simple, and the enchanting of the East turned out to be ......
"When the lotus leaves are born, spring hates life, and when the lotus leaves wither, autumn hates them." Empress Dowager Lin took a deep breath, and a faint sadness appeared on her face. "Deep Palace Autumn Lock, since then, I have been strangers to them."
When Xu Zun heard the Queen Mother's poem, he wanted to follow up with a few sentences, but he seemed to be only awake in spring, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
However, he was still surprised in his heart, Qi Xiang'er knew that Dongfang Enchanting was his daughter but didn't recognize him, and this person's heart was really hard enough.
"I hate Xiang'er because of this, so I haven't been in contact with her for many years, but I know ......," Empress Dowager Lin said quietly, "In fact, we are all remembering each other, and no one has forgotten anyone, but there is just a lack of an opportunity."
"Alas, it's a pity that the opportunity came, but it was a succession of bad news!" She sighed, "First of all, when the enchanting was twelve years old, Dongfang's brother died of an illness.
"Immediately afterwards, something happened to the Qi family, Qi Chong, as the crown prince and young master, united several ministers in the court and the three kings of the Li family to conspire and rebel, and finally ended up beheaded!
Although Qi Xiang'er's family escaped the crime of being killed, they still ended up in exile.
"At that time, Qi Xiang'er came to beg me, begging me to let their family go! But I had no right at that time, and although I interceded with the emperor in their ear, it still did not help.
"Actually, I've really done my best, but Xiang'er can't understand it.
"I know her character, and I must think that I still hold a grudge against her for taking her lover, and think that I deliberately didn't help her.
"She's bound to hold a grudge against me......"
"That'...... And then? Xu Zun was fascinated by what he heard, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Later, I just used my strength at that time to keep the enchantment and let her return to the Dongfang family." The Queen Mother said, "Xiang'er didn't know, she just thought that the Dongfang family had dredged up the relationship."
"And, how could I not be thinking about Xiang'er? After the match, I sent people everywhere to help and protect her.
But unfortunately, her parents were old and died of illness on the road.
Later, when she came to Yuanzhou, Xiang'er disappeared.
"I later sent many more people to look for it, but they never found it again.
"So," Empress Dowager Lin finally looked at Xu Zun and asked, "Can you understand how I felt when I saw her just now!? ”
"This ......" Xu Zun had thought about many questions before, but he didn't expect the Queen Mother to ask him like this.
"The ancestors of the Qi family have produced many divine doctors and have reached the pinnacle of medical attainments, so it is not surprising that Xiang'er can develop that kind of medicine that can make people crazy!" Empress Dowager Lin tapped the armrest of the phoenix chair with her hand, "Today is the memorial day of Brother Dongfang, and I am paying tribute to my brother in the inner hall, so she concluded that I am in Wanfu Palace!" ”
Ooh......
The more Xu Zun listened, the more frightened he became.
"The scheming is so deep, the intentions are so painful, and she has endured for many years, and she has put her eyes and ears in my holy capital, vowing to make me repay all that she has lost. It can be seen how deep her hatred for me is! ”
Speaking of this, the Queen Mother's body trembled slightly and became excited.
Xu Zun hurriedly lowered his head, and did not dare to speak or persuade.
"But," Empress Dowager Lin slowly got up and walked towards the curtain, "Qi Xiang'er is not terrible, I can understand her hatred for me, and I can even forgive her."
"However, it is precisely because of what I know about her that I am even more convinced that there must be an even more insidious enemy hidden behind her!
"This person, know the Holy Capital, understand the Imperial Palace, and even know the Main Palace! Xu Zun," the Queen Mother asked, "Do you know who this person is?" ”
This......
Xu Zun's forehead suddenly sweated, but fortunately, he had already prepared, and immediately asked, "Queen Mother, is that secret room...... Who else knows about that secret room? ”
