Chapter 62: The Savior
After breakfast, the Queen Mother kept silent about other things, and found an excuse for Murong Xi to go back to rest.
Murong Xi repeatedly told Mama Yu that the queen mother's food and clothing should be strictly checked before use.
Mama Yu sent Murong Xi away with a light smile, returned to the hall, closed the doors and windows, and walked around behind her to rub the shoulders of the Queen Mother.
"Queen Mother, why don't you say a word about what the Queen Mother thinks?"
The Queen Mother pinched her eyebrows and sneered indifferently, "Since someone is rushing ahead of the mourning family to do it, why doesn't the mourning family sell her favor?!" β
Mama Yu: "But the weight of the queen in the princess's heart can't be compared to the queen mother." β
The things he did were not willing, and he would use his heart to assist the queen?
Mama Yu didn't believe it.
The corners of the Queen Mother's lips hooked up a few sneers, "Let her explore the way first." β
Saying that, the Queen Mother looked serious, sat up straight and turned her head to look at Mama Yu, "Yurong, do you think that Ji'er is different from the previous Ji'er?" β
"The old slave feels that the princess is still the princess." Mama Yu looked back at the Queen Mother blankly, "What does the Queen Mother think is different?" β
"I can't say anywhere."
The Queen Mother leaned on the chaise longue again, and murmured slowly, "The mourning family has always felt that after being able to speak, there is a stubbornness in her bones, and she looks a little smarter than before." β
"Or, she used to be such a person, but the mourning family didn't find out."
Mama Yu has been thinking about the Queen Mother for the past few days, and she has not had too much contact with Murong Xi.
Even if there was a difference, it was normal for her not to notice it.
She wrote it down in her heart and comforted the queen mother: "The princess will live in the palace for a while, and the old slave will pay attention to it these days." β
The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and nodded, "I'm afraid she has an idea, and it will be difficult to control it at that timeββ"
"Don't worry about the queen mother, if the princess is a clever person, she will definitely be able to distinguish which is more important, maybe the queen mother will save a lot of trouble." Mama Yu said with a smile.
The Queen Mother was speechless, "I hope." When you are tired, take a nap, and you go and burn the incense. β
Last night was so excited that the Queen Mother fell asleep at dawn.
I was woken up by the queen in the morning, and now I am relaxed, and the tiredness of suppression suddenly hits the whole body, and the queen mother finally can't hold on.
"Yes." Mama Yu found the incense and paused for a moment, "Queen Mother, do you want to find someone to see this incense first?" β
The Queen Mother had already lay down and waved her hand, "The tranquility incense has been used for a long time, and there has been no problem." You order it first, for peace of mind, and then find someone to take a look. β
Mama Yu hesitated for a moment, followed the Queen Mother's words and lit the incense -
-
In the past two days, Murong Xi has slept when she is full, and she wakes up and eats.
The days in Cining Palace are simply pleasant.
The Queen Mother is also under the care of the head of the Xu Hospital, and she is getting better day by day.
I only feel dizzy occasionally, and the rest is the same as usual.
Murong Xi went to greet the Queen Mother on the third day, and quietly probed the Queen Mother's pulse by supporting the Queen Mother, which was indeed much more stable.
Her hanging heart was also slightly lowered, and some words hidden in her heart couldn't be hidden.
"Queen Mother, there are some things that I have long wanted to ask the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother was in good condition and in a good mood, pruning an orchid, and raised her eyes to look at Murong Xi, "When did the concubine and the mourning family become so estranged?" β
Murong Ji smiled and tried to soften her tone, "Then Ji'er will say it directly." β
"When I was young, I don't remember my life-saving benefactor. Later, because of his mute illness, he was unable to ask. Now that I can speak, I want to ask the Queen Mother, where is the defender who rescued her from the fire back then, and who is her surname? I want to go and say thank you in personβ"
The Queen Mother's hand was still in mid-air, and she looked at Murong Xi in a daze.
Murong Xi was uncomfortable by her deep gaze, and asked tentatively, "Queen Mother?" β
"Oh, what do you think is the matter?" The Queen Mother came back to her senses, put down the scissors, and asked with a smile at Murong Xi, "Xi'er really wants to know?" β
"Yes." Murong Xi's eyes were serious.
It is not so much that he is seriously waiting for the Queen Mother's answer, but that he is seriously observing the Queen Mother's reaction.
The queen looked as usual, and did not dodge Murong Xi's gaze, "When you were young, as long as someone mentioned the fire in the General's Mansion, you would lose control of your emotions. Then the mourner ordered that no one should mention it before you. β
"Now that my sister has grown up and her mind is also proficient, I think that the hurdle of the year has also been crossed."
The Queen Mother reached out and grabbed Murong Xi's hand, held it in her palm, and stroked it gently, "The city guards, it was the mourning family who deceived you later." β
"Lie to me?" Murong Xi looked at the Queen Mother in astonishment, and the fingers in her palm trembled slightly.
The Queen Mother nodded, "You don't like to mention the past, and the mourning family doesn't want you to think about it, worried that if you meet a life-saving benefactor, you will touch the scene and hurt the situation, so they will pretend that you can save you from the palace." β
Murong Xi was really shocked, and her voice rose sharply, "The person who saved me is from the palace?" β
"Yes." The Queen Mother smiled.
For some reason, Murong Xi always felt that there was incomprehensible cunning in that smile, and the pride after the conspiracy succeeded.
"The person who saved you is Lao Jiu."
Under Murong Xi's shocked gaze, the Queen Mother said word by word.
"When Lao Jiu was still young, like you, he witnessed the fire with his own eyes and suffered a lot of blows."
The Queen Mother's thoughts flew far away, and her eyes were blurred, as if she was thinking about the past.
"When the city defenders found you, he hugged you tightly, and none of the clothes on his body were good, only you were good."
"The queen mother is saying that the prince saved me?" Murong Xi couldn't believe it.
Or they simply can't accept the result.
"How could the prince happen to save me?"
If I remember correctly, Jiang Huaiyin was only twelve years old that year.
Conspiracy theories, not true.
But it's too hard to figure out.
The Queen Mother had a smile on her face, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Lao Jiu." Did he have a serious illness during the fire that year, and when he recovered, he couldn't remember anything? β
Murong Xi's breath stagnated and forgot to answer.
The Queen Mother said meaningfully: "It's been more than a year since you married the palace, and Ping Suli should talk to Lao Jiu more and enhance mutual understanding." β
"In this way, the relationship between the husband and wife can be promoted."
Murong Xi silently thanked the Queen Mother in her heart, hesitated, and then asked, "Because the prince saved me, the Queen Mother raised me under her knees?" β
The Queen Mother picked up the scissors again and continued to trim the orchids.
"When General Murong was alive, His Majesty and Emperor Yu had the merit of following the dragon. He is brave and good at fighting, he is the god of war general of the Qianguo, calms the troubled times, and is a courtier with a good reputation in the eyes of the world. β
"As a member of the royal family, the mourning family owes General Murong too much."
The Queen Mother's movements stagnated slightly, and she said earnestly: "If the Mourning family didn't take you in back then, your life in the Murong family would definitely not be easy." The mourning family moved with compassion and kept you by his side. β
After digging out her heart and saying some thoughtful words, the Queen Mother looked at Murong Xi with burning eyes, "But the mourning family has ignored that the Wanzhong Gate in the Red Wall Palace is also a Longtan Tiger's Den, especially for women." β
"By the time the mourners figured it out, you were already an adult. Therefore, the mourning family wants to send you out of the palace in your lifetime, let you live the life of a master, and promise you to Lao Jiuββ"
"Sister, do you hate the mourning family's obstinate behavior?"
Murong Xi subconsciously shook her head, recalling the childhood in her memory, Murong Xi knew that although she had suffered a lot of white eyes in the palace, there were few setbacks on the surface.
As for the marriage, Murong Xi was silent.
