Chapter 398: Contradictory Ideals
Let's go.
The comb fell to the ground, Princess Ronghua fell to her knees, and said in panic:
"Mother, mother...... I...... I'm all thinking about you! Prince...... The crown prince is your obstacle, and without him, you ...... You ......"
"Shut up!" Empress Dowager Lin patted the dresser, turned her head and sighed, "What...... Do you think I really want to be this Great Xuan Emperor?
"I became the emperor, so who will be the prince, will you do it?"
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother......" Princess Ronghua knelt forward, fell down on the Queen Mother's knee and said, "Without you, Daxuan would not have today's prosperous world, whether it is merit or ability or the will of the people, you should be in charge of the world!" ”
"Evil obstacles! Dare not be ashamed! Empress Dowager Lin took the case and reprimanded angrily, "Why, you only see me fighting for fame and fortune in your eyes, and you only see me using power and tricks, but why can't you see my good intentions!"
"Rong Hua, do you really think that I have done so many things just to be able to reach the top of Daxuan's power, with the yellow robe added?
"You're wrong, you don't know what we're facing," Empress Dowager Lin shouted excitedly, "The current Daxuan is more dangerous than ever!"
"Do you think that those powerful ministers who secretly oppose me and force me to release power just really want the emperor to return to the court?
"Wrong! Their hidden intentions are terrible, as long as my rights are gone, then the emperor will be at their mercy in the future. ”
"These invisible dangers are the deadliest dangers, and for this reason, I do not hesitate to defile my innocence and spread rumors, in order to let those invisible dangers surface and remove hidden dangers for the emperor.
"I am not doing this to be worthy of the ancestors of the Li family, but I want to let this prosperous era continue, and I can't let it fall in my hands!"
"Mother...... The queen mother ......" Princess Ronghua was full of surprise, never imagined that her ideals were so far away from the queen mother's ideals.
"I've done so many things and used so many means, and it's not for myself!" Empress Dowager Lin smacked her lips again and again, "Ao Er is gentle by nature and indecisive in case of trouble, and now because of me, he can deter the court, but if he leaves me one day, he will inevitably be manipulated by the ministers and be in danger."
"At the beginning, the reason why I made him emperor was also to hope that he would change. The reason why he is not allowed to do it now is because he has not changed, and at the same time, it is also to protect him.
"Grandson Li Xun, although he is talented and intelligent, he also has some political acumen," Empress Dowager Lin shook her head again and said, "It's a pity that he is too angry and stubborn, if he is allowed to rule the world in the future, I am afraid it will cause even greater disasters!"
"Rong Hua, do you understand?" Empress Dowager Lin glared at Princess Ronghua and said with hatred, "I just wanted to find a qualified king for Daxuan, but I never thought of becoming the king myself!" ”
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother......" Hearing this, Princess Ronghua finally understood her situation, and immediately wept bitterly, begging with remorse on her face, "Child...... The child knows that he is wrong! After begging the mother, give the child another chance.
"Queen Mother...... It's a child who will be wrong, I have done so much before, and I think it is for the sake of the queen mother, so you will spare me this time, woo woo......"
"Alas!" Empress Dowager Lin sighed and said, "Rong Hua, are you really for me?" You obviously know that Shen Tiande is my person, but you still let Shen Qian take his life! ”
"Huh?" Princess Ronghua looked innocent, "Shen Tiande...... Is it your people? Impossible? Isn't he royalist? And he also went to grab the iron coffin, he obviously wanted to be unfavorable to you, so I asked Shen Qian to kill him, so that he could experience the taste of being betrayed by his relatives, and punish him well......"
"Enough!" Empress Dowager Lin shook her head and sighed, "I really regret that I didn't teach you well, I only let you learn my tricks, but I forgot how to teach you how to be a man!"
"From today on, you and the horse circle will be forbidden to listen to the tide view, and from now on chant and pray for blessings, and forgive your sins!"
Tingchaoguan is an abandoned Taoist temple, which was later used to confinish the royal family, similar to the Zongren Mansion of the Qing Dynasty, and those who enter it will be sentenced to life imprisonment if there are no special circumstances.
"Huh? No...... Don't ......" Princess Ronghua fell to the ground and begged bitterly, "I don't want to listen to the tide view, ask the queen mother to be gracious, the queen mother is gracious, Rong Hua will never dare again in the future, never dare again, woo woo woo ......"
Listening to her daughter's pleading, Empress Dowager Lin looked up and sighed, and a trace of inadvertent wetness flashed in the corners of her eyes.
However, in the end, she waved her jade hand, and several eunuchs appeared next to her, pulling Princess Ronghua down......
"No, don't...... The queen mother, the child hasn't been able to comb your hair yet, the queen mother ......"
As Princess Ronghua's hoarse plea became farther and farther away, Empress Dowager Lin's face returned to normal, revealing supreme majesty.
At this time, behind the screen on the side of the Queen Mother's bedroom, a person suddenly flashed.
This person was dressed in a light-colored monk's robe and a monk's hat, and was actually a young nun.
"How is it," the Queen Mother didn't look back, still looking at the direction in which Princess Ronghua was being dragged away, and asked, "Are you satisfied?" ”
"Hmmm......"
The young nun nodded slightly, and with a touch of sunshine, her delicate face was revealed, which was Shen Tiande's daughter, Shen Qian!!
Seeing that the Queen Mother didn't move, Shen Qian couldn't help but ask softly: "My father, is it really your person?" ”
"Yes," replied the Queen Mother without hesitation, "when your father first took refuge in me, he only made one condition to me, and that was to keep your four brothers and sisters safe.
"Your eldest brother's death was an accident, but I can guarantee the safety of the three of you."
"Father's ......"
Thinking of her father's death at her hands, Shen Qian left tears of remorse.
However, at the beginning, Princess Ronghua used the lives of the three Shen brothers to force her to submit, if Shen Gong did not die, then it was her three brothers who died.
"You don't have to give up on yourself," the Queen Mother said, "Your father's death is all Rong Hua's fault alone, and it has nothing to do with you." Later...... Just follow me!
"You're still so young, and there's still a lot of meaningful things to do!"
"Queen Mother......" Shen Qian was stunned for a few seconds, and then hurriedly knelt down and bowed, "Shen Qian is willing to follow the Queen Mother and listen to the Queen Mother!" ”
"Really?" The Queen Mother asked, "What if...... Shall I let you marry Xu Zun? ”
"This ......" Shen Qian's body trembled, as if she had been struck by lightning.
"Don't worry," the Queen Mother motioned for Shen Qian to get up, "I won't force you to do what you don't want to do."
"To tell you the truth, I'm a big ...... There is a lack of a female minister," the Queen Mother's eyes flashed with a deep light, "in this way, the cabinet can be checked." ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Shen Qian only felt her blood boiling, and she even forgot about her gratitude......
……
After a stick of incense, the Queen Mother entered the main hall of Wanfu Palace alone, and after pressing the mechanism button on a stone pillar, the secret door that had been used for hiding opened immediately.
When the catastrophe occurred, the Queen Mother hid in this secret room.
At this moment, the stone door opened, and when the Queen Mother entered the secret room, she saw that on the futon on the inside, an old Taoist priest with silver hair and fairy bones was meditating cross-legged there.
Hearing the movement, the old Taoist priest hurriedly got up, respectfully saluted the Empress Dowager Lin, and shouted "See the Empress Dowager".
"I've wronged you, Qiu Guoshi!" The Queen Mother also made a Xuandao gesture respectfully, and said, "All the layouts have been completed, and the Great Xuan Navy will not enter the East China Sea in a few days, and when the internal and external troubles are lifted, it will be the day you leave the customs!! ”
