Chapter 21: Hypocrisy

Hearing that the imperial chef in the palace is the most skilled cook, Su Ling couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she tasted the dishes, it was really more delicious than the meals she had eaten outside.

Jiang Duanchen sandwiched a piece of jade lettuce and put it in Su Ling's bowl, Nie Yunhua looked at the two of them who were in love, and couldn't help but quip, "Chen'er now has someone she cares about, and the whole person feels different." ”

Jiang Duanchen put down his chopsticks, "Niangniang said and laughed, Your Majesty is not very good to you." ”

A hint of loneliness flashed in Nie Yunhua's eyes, "Yes, he treats me very well." ”

Su Ling only cared about eating, not paying attention to the conversation between the two, Nie Yunhua looked at Su Ling carefully.

"How does it taste?"

Su Ling swallowed the food in his mouth hard and replied: "Back to the queen mother, the dishes here are really delicious, Su Ling accidentally made a fool of himself, please don't blame the mother." ”

Nie Yunhua smiled and picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in her bowl, "It's okay, eat more if you like, you can also stay with me for a few more days." ”

"Huh?" After hearing this, Su Ling was shocked.

She thought Nie Yunhua was joking, but her face was very serious.

Su Ling wanted to seek Jiang Duanchen's opinion, but Jiang Duanchen blocked it for her, "Niangniang, Su Ling is not very familiar with the palace rules, I am afraid that she will make you angry here, it is really inappropriate to live with you." ”

Nie Yunhua took Su Ling's hand and put it on his lap, "It's okay, I will teach her slowly in the future, after all, I want to be the wife of your Prime Minister Jiang, and I will come to the palace more often in the future, I will take her to familiarize herself with it in advance, you can rest assured." ”

Jiang Duanchen didn't know what the queen meant, but she insisted on it, and he couldn't refute it.

He looked at Su Ling, "Then it's troublesome for Niangniang to take care of her for me for a while." ”

Su Ling looked at the scene where the two were fighting for themselves, and thought silently in her heart, although the queen treated her well, Jiang Duanchen said that the deep palace was like the sea, and if she was allowed to stay here alone, she was still a little afraid.

Nie Yunhua saw Su Ling's worries and comforted: "Su Ling don't be afraid, the mourning family is very close to the council hall, and Chen'er can come to see you in the future, so you can accompany the mourning family to talk to you for a few days." ”

When Su Ling heard this, he couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.

For the rest of the time, the three of them ate with their own thoughts.

Su Ling was full of reluctance at the thought of leaving Jiang Duanchen for a while.

Jiang Duanchen thought about Luo Mizar's words, as well as the queen's unusual proposal today, and couldn't help but be suspicious.

After eating, Nie Yunhua arranged for a maid to lead Su Ling to his residence, leaving Jiang Duanchen to say that he had something to talk to him.

When Jiang Duanchen was leaving, Jiang Duanchen told her over and over again to take care of herself.

Su Ling wrote them down one by one and patted Jiang Duanchen's head, "Don't worry!" I'll take care of myself, and the queen is so good, it seems that she recognizes me, and that's the best result. ”

Jiang Duanchen still felt that something was wrong, and asked Su Ling to send a letter to her if he had something.

After the two finished talking, Jiang Duanchen returned to Fengming Palace.

His expression became gloomy, "What is the purpose of Niangniang's insistence on leaving Ling'er behind?" ”

Nie Yunhua smiled, "I just like that girl very much." ”

Jiang Duanchen was silent. Nie Yunhua looked at him, "Have you led him to see your father?" ”

Jiang Duanchen nodded.

"That's fine, I thought you didn't want to see him again this year." Nie Yunhua walked outside the Fengming Palace, "It's really cold this winter. ”

Jiang Duanchen followed behind her and tentatively said that he had met Luo Mizar.

Nie Yunhua's body was obviously stunned, the smile disappeared from her face, and her warm voice became calm, "Luo Mizar, have you seen him?" ”

"Yes."

"Did he say anything to you?"

"What do you think he'll tell me?" Jiang Duanchen asked rhetorically.

Nie Yunhua's voice stopped. She turned around, her eyes darkening.

Jiang Duanchen did not shy away from observing her.

When the cold wind hit, Jiang Duanchen bowed, "It's late at night, Niangniang, go and rest." The minister retreated first. ”

"Chen'er." Nie Yunhua stopped Jiang Duanchen, who turned to leave.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing that he refused to turn around, Nie Yunhua sighed, "It's okay, you can go." ”

Jiang Duanchen left without looking back, since the queen didn't want him to know, then he pretended not to know.

I just don't know what will happen to Lomisar after what he said really happened.

The tall figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, and Nie Yunhua looked at Jiang Duanchen's departing back and stood in place for a long time. Let the cold wind blow, and the snowflakes fall.

Nie Yunhua raised his head and looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky. A crystal tear slipped from the corner of her eye.

The maid next to her called softly, "Niangniang......"

She wiped the tears from her eyes. The voice was cold, without a trace of emotion, "You guys go, I want to stay by myself." ”

She remembered what Su Ling said in the daytime, "Hold the hand of the son and grow old with the son." ”

It's been twenty-five years, and it's been twenty-five years since she married into this deep palace for the daughter of the Nie family.

The girl who was once simple-minded and only wanted to hold hands with the person she loved until she was old has now become a queen who only has power.

She herself thought it was ridiculous and pitiful.

What she didn't get, she didn't want to see others get.

Jiang Duanchen and she were both arranged by others for the ridiculous first half of their lives, and she had to make her own decisions for the second half of her life.

Su Ling's presence will only become a stumbling block for her.

Nie Yunhua lowered his head and left Fengming Hall with heavy steps.

Su Ling looked at the unfamiliar room and suddenly missed the time with Jiang Duanchen.

Just as she was thinking, there was a knock on her door.

Nie Yunhua stared at Su Ling coldly.

Su Ling was frightened by her appearance, "Queen Mother, it's so late, are you still okay?" ”

Nie Yunhua didn't have the gentle appearance she had before, but her face was sinister, and she said bitterly: "A commoner's daughter, who also wants to cling to Chen'er, Miss Su, I advise you to leave him." ”

Su Ling's pupils twitched, she didn't expect the queen to be like a different person, "Queen Mother, what are you talking about?" ”

Nie Yunhua slapped her to the ground with his backhand, "Do you still need to repeat the mourning family?" You just think about it here, and think clearly that the mourning family is letting you go. ”

Su Ling covered her red and swollen cheeks and looked at Nie Yunhua in disbelief.

It turned out that the kind queen mother during the day was what she pretended to be. Su Ling thought it was ridiculous.

Nie Yunhua looked at Su Ling laughing at her, and her voice was full of murderous intent, "Su Ling, the mourning family can kill you at any time, if you are obedient, I will let you go." If you still have thoughts that you shouldn't have, then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Nie Yunhua turned to leave.

Su Ling came back to his senses for a long time.

It turned out that Jiang Duanchen grew up in such an environment of impermanence, and one wrong step may lead to a catastrophe.

This is true of all the queens of the world.

Su Ling didn't dare to imagine how much Jiang Duanchen had suffered.

She couldn't leave him, Su Ling's heart told her. She vowed to accompany Jiang Duanchen until she was old, and she couldn't die here.

Su Ling struggled to get up and tried to escape, but found that the door was locked.

She sat on the ground, not knowing what to do.

Qing'er came back from fetching water, and saw that Su Ling's door was locked, and hurriedly asked, "Ling'er, are you okay?" What's going on? ”

As if seeing hope, Su Ling said to Qing'er through the crack in the door: "Tell Duan Chen quickly, I am trapped here by the queen, and she wants to kill me!" ”

The basin of water in Qing'er's hand fell to the ground.

A figure stood behind Qing'er and raised a wooden stick to knock her unconscious.

"Qing'er!" Su Ling couldn't help but exclaim as she watched Qing'er fall in front of her.

A maid said coldly: "Miss Su obediently thinks about my mother's affairs, don't worry, I want you to accompany her to act during this time, she will not kill you, but in the future, there will be such self-defeating behavior." I can't guarantee your fate. ”

After the maid finished speaking, she dragged Qing'er away.

Su Ling looked at the richly decorated house and sneered, "It's really as deep as the sea when you enter the palace." ”
