Chapter 312: The Queen and the Mysterious Totem
His mother, the gentle and virtuous woman who has lived a quiet life, has never felt sorry for others in her life, she is the lowest slave, and the queen waits for her equally, and never looks down on anyone because of her status.
But such a queen praised by everyone, because she was framed by others, she was separated from her husband, and finally ran out of hard work and died in the palace.
"Everyone wants to enter the palace and enjoy the glory and wealth, but everyone here also wants to break free from the cage and fly high."
"Qingyan, I have seen the appearance of the queen mother gradually losing her vitality, you are my wife, the person who has accompanied me all my life, but if you marry me, you are destined to be trapped by the palace for the rest of your life."
This is the only place where he is ashamed of Xi Qingyan, his identity is destined to not be able to do what he wants in this life, Xi Qingyan loves freedom so much, but because he lost the most precious thing.
Will she regret it?
The tip of his heart trembled, he was as powerful as a dream, and when facing this problem, he would subconsciously want to escape, but no matter what, he would not let go and leave lightly.
Whether it's selfishness or power, Xi Qingyan doesn't want this heart.
It turned out to be worried about this.
Tearing and laughing, Xi knocked on Su Lixiao's head angrily, and then rubbed his toes in distress, "Life is long, there must be a trade-off, since I have chosen you, the others are not as good as you, do you understand?"
Instead of worrying about this and worrying about that, it would be better to treat her better.
Covering her lips and smiling, the woman's eyebrows and eyes were cunning, and she easily dispelled the uncertainty in Su Lixiao's heart.
"You." That's it, if Xi Qingyan is tired of that kind of life, he can only abdicate early and leave this hard day to Su Xiaomo.
As everyone knows, Xi Qingyan, who didn't know that her son was calculated, was still laughing in her heart, and after a while, the woman reached out and pushed away the queen's bedroom.
"This is ......" Strange, the courtyard outside was a mess, but the queen's bedroom was extremely tidy, as if someone was cleaning it from time to time.
With a cold snort, Shu Lixiao helped up the embroidery pier that the wind hung on, "Although he doesn't allow anyone to approach here, he will come and clean it himself every once in a while."
And this matter was very well concealed by the emperor, even Concubine Dong Guifei, who was extremely favored at that time, did not know.
"It's awkward." Does the emperor have feelings for the queen? The answer is yes, so why did they get to the point where they are now separated by yin and yang?
In the final analysis, the emperor doesn't trust the queen enough, otherwise how could a single concubine Dong Guifei pull down the queen who is deeply loved by the people?
Misunderstanding that the queen had an affair with the guards, suspecting that the emperor was playing with Dong Guifei and applauding, it was not caused by his own character defects, and he couldn't blame others.
"It's useless to say more, but what if he regrets it? The Queen Mother will never come back." Deep down in his heart, until now, Su Lixiao has been resentful of the emperor, if he hadn't listened to slander, why would Su Lixiao have gone to the battlefield to fight for his life at a young age, and why would he have been poisoned and almost died.
He has been able to get to this day by working hard little by little, and the help given to him by the emperor is minimal, and even in some cases, it is a burden.
Pursing his lips, he came to the queen's dressing table with a familiar way, only to see his fingertips moving rapidly, and after a while, a "click" sounded, and then a dark grid appeared from under the dresser.
Carefully took out the makeup box inside, blew away the ups and downs on it, took out the handkerchief and carefully wiped it clean, and finally handed it to Xi Qingyan with a treasure.
"This is what the queen mother left to her future daughter-in-law, and today, she finally got what she wanted."
This is the secret between him and the queen, even the emperor doesn't know.
A touch of crimson crossed his face, Xi Qingyan stood in place stunned with the box, for his daughter-in-law, it turned out that Su Lixiao brought her to the queen's bedroom for it.
"Open it and take a look." urged Xi Qingyan to say a word, and after returning here, Su Lixiao seemed to have unloaded all his burdens, bringing a little naughty and bad intentions.
Exhaling a breath of turbidity slightly, Xi Qingyan held it very carefully, and then slowly opened the makeup box.
Inside, it is a complete set of ruby heads, the appearance is exquisite and rich, and the workmanship is also first-class.
In addition, there are gold hairpin bracelets, earrings and other items, and at the bottom there are various pearls and gemstones, as well as a thick stack of silver tickets.
"The queen has a heart." If she is still alive, maybe they can also become a loving mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but it's a pity......
Holding the silver ticket with a bright smile, the object in front of Xi Qingyan only felt very warm, and the last silver ticket was revealed, it was really sent to her heart, the woman had bright eyes and bright teeth, and her eyebrows and eyes were crooked to look at the sky.
"This is the asset left by the queen mother to run away, if you treat me badly, I will run away with these silver taels."
Shaking off the thick stack of silver tickets in his hand, Xi Qingyan didn't have time to continue to joke, but a yellowed piece of paper suddenly fell quietly from the silver ticket and fell to the ground.
"What is this?" Did the queen leave a long-awaited letter?
With a touch of doubt between his eyebrows, Xi Qingyan leaned over and picked up the paper, and the next second he suddenly froze in place.
The totem of the sun god bird!
How could the queen have such a thing!
With a shocked look, Xi Qingyan hurriedly handed the paper to Su Lixiao, "The queen mother is from the Chengenhou Mansion, how can she have anything to do with this kind of totem!"
His fingertips trembled slightly, and he shook his head subconsciously, "How come, the queen mother has never mentioned this kind of totem, but ......" Why does this kind of thing appear in the makeup box.
It must be known that this small organ is only known to the queen and him, even the emperor has never found out, and if he forcibly says that it was put in by others, it doesn't make sense at all.
And with the degree of aging of this paper, it is indeed in line with the time of the queen's death.
Mother, what are you hiding from me? What's your secret?
His eyes trembled violently, and he never expected that he would bring Xi Qingyan to Kunning Palace, and he would actually discover the secret that the queen had hidden for a long time.
"The Queen's Grandmother. I mean, someone she trusts, will know what this totem represents?" Frowning slightly, Xi Qingyan suggested in a low voice, and then carefully observed the makeup box, but did not find anything useful.
Was this a coincidence, or was it intentional on the part of the Queen? But since she chose to leave the totem, why not give a little more hint?
The corners of his lips tightened, and Su Lixiao shook his fingers vigorously, "Back then, the father and the emperor executed all the attendants around the queen mother, and now, no one is alive at all."
Wrong! And one more!
Suddenly raised his eyes, as if he had caught something, and said with a little excitement: "The mother's grandmother is still alive!" The queen once released a group of palace people, just a month before she was framed by Concubine Dong Guifei.
And the grandmother who has taken care of her since she was a child is in this list, maybe the queen noticed something in advance, so she was let out of the palace?
"I'll send someone to find out what happened to that person, and if she really knows anything, it might be beneficial for us to break the game."
He closed his eyes vigorously, and he only felt that there was a fog in front of him. Whenever he feels that he has survived a catastrophe, the next crisis will quietly find him, and when will this kind of day be the end.
The soft little hand slowly covered his big palm, and Su Lixiao's heart warmed, and he quickly opened his eyes, but saw Xi say word by word: "No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."
It's too early to draw conclusions, only by finding more evidence can the truth be revealed, and the only thing they can do is to calm down and investigate slowly.
"It's not early, let's go to the palace for a banquet first." The two little guys were still wandering around the palace banquet, Xi Qingyan was not worried about them, and after persuading Su Lixiao for a few words, he left Kunning Palace with the makeup box.
Until they disappeared completely, a figure in black immediately appeared silently outside the window, holding a fire fold in his hand, and the corners of his lips hidden under the black hood slowly bloomed with a trace of arc.
Today's palace banquet is to put it bluntly, it is prepared for Xi Qingyan, Concubine Jiang and Wei Shu
The concubine wanted to do something, but the emperor attached great importance to this palace banquet, not only sent the father-in-law around him, but also opened the private treasury and took out a few good things for everyone to play with.
"It's almost time, our future princess is really not small, and she has made the palace and her mother wait for so long." Carefully looking at her bright red dankou, Concubine Wei Shu pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, then glanced at Concubine Jiang, and said quietly and provocatively.
"Hmph." Snorted softly, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, what are they pretending to be? Did she really not know what Concubine Wei was thinking?
Concubine Jiang sneered unceremoniously, and her indifferent appearance clearly ignored Concubine Wei Shu completely, and the latter took a few deep breaths in displeasure, so that she could not bear to tear her face with Concubine Jiang.
"Speaking of which, Concubine Jiang is still very grateful to Miss Xi, after all, she was the one who saved King An." It's really ridiculous, she was beaten violently, Xi Qingyan healed, and finally got a good reputation, but she heard that Concubine Jiang had changed several batches of porcelain in the palace.
glared at Concubine Jiang angrily, this *** is really a pot that can't be opened, she can clearly use this dream to beat Su Chen'an and suddenly make trouble, but who let Su Chen'an's little life be picked up by Xi Qingyan, and the emperor is even more amazed by her medical book.
In this way, does Concubine Jiang dare to do it? Can you do it?
She was already angry, but Concubine Wei wanted to poke her wounds, she really didn't know what this woman was happing with.
Sitting on the benefits of the fisherman, it also depends on whether you have the ability!
"The prince has arrived!"
Just as the two of them were facing each other, a shrill sound suddenly came from outside, and everyone present was in high spirits and looked in the same direction.
There, a pair of beautiful women are coming slowly, graceful, not like mortals......
