170 This is fate
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ling Xiaorou got up very early, changed into a new garnet red dress, combed the most popular cross bun in the capital at the moment, and inserted a few golden hairpins on it, and her whole temperament suddenly became taller.
Looking in the mirror again and again, Ling Xiaorou was quite satisfied with her outfit, and it was time for the beautiful dress to go to the old lady and Aunt Wang to pay New Year's greetings.
Thinking that when he saw He Louyuan later, he would see amazement in his eyes, and Ling Xiaorou's whole heart soared.
The snow outside had fallen overnight, and finally stopped, and the road had been swept out by the king's subordinates, and some snow remained in the stone crevices of the road, and walking on it still made a 'creaking' sound.
When they came to the courtyard of the old lady, Aunt Wang was also sitting there, the old sisters were muttering something, and their eyes lit up when they saw Ling Xiaorou coming in, Ling Xiaorou first gave the old lady and Aunt Wang a New Year's greeting.
Aunt Wang also took a big purse and handed it to Ling Xiaorou, she was so happy to see her son last night that she even forgot the purse she had prepared before.
Ling Xiaorou took the purse and thanked Aunt Wang, and sat down to accompany the prime minister, but looking at the New Year, the old lady both looked preoccupied, it was said that He Louyuan and He Louyu should also come over to say goodbye at this time, but they didn't see anyone after waiting for a while.
Ling Xiaorou stretched her neck to look out, and the old lady smiled when she saw it: "Don't look at it, several of them have entered the palace today, and they are not in the mansion." ”
"Why did you enter the palace again?" Ling Xiaorou looked at the old concubine blankly, the New Year's Eve even stopped at the early dynasty until the fifth day of the new year, why did the men in the family still enter the palace?
When Li Xun left last night, Aunt Wang knew that something was wrong in the palace, she was worried all night, and the old lady only found out about it early in the morning, and she was also worried, but there has been no news back for so long, and I don't know what happened.
was asked by Ling Xiaorou, and she also felt that she was not an outsider, so she said that there was an accident in the palace last night and several people entered the palace, and Ling Xiaorou also became worried.
asked Ling Ruixi, who got up, to take over, and after having breakfast together, they sat around the house, and the children were accompanied by the maids, and the three of them continued to worry.
Until noon, someone ran in to report, saying that the queen mother and Hongwang Li Su tried to rebel, Qi Qi was taken by the emperor, and now the emperor is ordering the arrest of the queen mother's family and Hongwang chaos, fortunately, there are few pedestrians on the street during the New Year, but there is not much chaos.
But obviously, this time the queen mother's family is finished, and the crime of rebellion is a felony, and even the current queen has to be implicated.
After getting the news, Aunt Wang finally put her mind at ease, since she was arresting the Queen Mother's family, the emperor must have taken control of the situation.
After eating the lunch that Ling Xiaorou brought people, the three women took Ling Ruixi to sit in the hall and continue to worry.
There are a few braziers in the house, which is smoked with charcoal, and the small black ball that is half the size is lying on the edge of the brazier and napping, this year it is frightened, as long as the firecrackers outside sound, it will be startled and bark, and even the 'crackling' sound of the charcoal fire can make it startled, but it brings some relief to the nervous few people.
In the afternoon, He Louyu came back to pick up Aunt Wang into the palace, and said what the emperor meant, not only to take Aunt Wang into the palace, but also to want her to see the Queen Mother for the last time, even if she is the Queen Mother, but what she did Li Xun could not keep her life.
In addition to assassinating the emperor this time, even if he almost killed Li Xun's mother in the past, Li Xun could not let go of the queen mother.
And the matter of taking Aunt Wang into the palace, in Ling Xiaorou's understanding, is that the time for the Queen Mother is not much, Aunt Wang is revenge, if you can do it, you can kill the enemy with your own hands.
Seeing that she could enter the palace, Aunt Wang was a little homesick, and in the end, Ling Xiaorou agreed to go into the palace with her, and Aunt Wang got on the sedan chair to pick her up.
Because of this, there are too many palace secrets, and for the time being, Li Xun is not good at telling people that the Empress Dowager Duanxian, who should have died, has come back to life, so this time Aunt Wang entered the palace not as the Empress Dowager Duanxian, but as a relative of the Ningyuan Palace.
Aunt Wang doesn't care about these, she doesn't fancy the nihilistic things of her identity, as long as she can often look forward to her son for more than ten years in the future, she is not satisfied.
Ling Xiaorou and Aunt Wang entered the palace together, and the sedan chair was carried until Cining Palace before stopping, and the original magnificent palace was filled with a heavy depressive atmosphere at this time.
The eunuchs and palace maids who originally walked around Cining Palace were now locked up, and instead of those Janissaries with bright armor, Cining Palace was strictly guarded.
Aunt Wang has never been to Cining Palace, she was originally just a palace maid, and in the end, she has never experienced such a situation in person, but fortunately, she still remembers that her son is the emperor in her heart, even if she plays the drum in her heart, her waist is straight, and her mouth is also pursed into a line, but people can't see the timidity in her heart.
Only Ling Xiaorou, who was holding her arm, could feel that the muscles in her body were trembling, patted Aunt Wang's arm, signaling that she was beside her, Aunt Wang replied with a slightly stiff smile, and she was still nervous.
It was He Louyu who gaged on the side, which made Aunt Wang relax a lot, otherwise she wouldn't lose in momentum when she saw the Queen Mother later.
Entered Cining Palace, under heavy care, and finally saw the high-spirited and indispensable Queen Mother in the past, at this time the Queen Mother's court clothes have been stripped off, and she is only wearing a white silk undershirt, and next to her is the queen who is also wearing a white silk undershirt.
Thinking about being implicated in the queen mother's rebellion, the entire family was arrested, and the queen, who was the queen mother's niece, was also in the back position.
The queen was already crying when she learned that the 'emperor' was assassinated in her bed, but she didn't expect the plot to reverse too quickly, and before she had time to be surprised by the emperor's 'resurrection from the dead', she was taken away because of her aunt's rebellion.
The queen cried all night, and at this time her crying throat was dry and hoarse, she couldn't make a sound, her eyes were swollen and couldn't be opened, but the gaze that could be seen through the thin slit was extremely cold, and she only hated how her aunt didn't die early, otherwise she wouldn't have implicated the whole family.
The Queen Mother was calm, knowing that the general trend was gone, and no matter how much sorrow she revealed, it would be useless, so she could only be looked down upon, so she simply sat at the table with her back straight, just waiting to see when the emperor would give a cup of poisonous wine, or give a seven-foot white silk.
When Ling Xiaorou helped Aunt Wang and walked into Cining Palace accompanied by He Louyu, the Queen Mother was stunned at first, and couldn't figure out why Ling Xiaorou came at this time, even if she looked at her jokes, it was not Ling Xiaorou's turn.
And when her eyes fell on Aunt Wang's face, she was not even impressed, in her opinion, this was just a weathered woman.
Aunt Wang stared straight at the Queen Mother, the cowardice in her heart disappeared in an instant, and all that was left was deep hatred, it was this high-ranking woman who had separated her flesh and blood for sixteen years, and over the years, she really wanted to eat her flesh and drink her blood.
The Queen Mother was looked at by Aunt Wang with hatred, although she had not killed anyone with her own hands over the years, but there were too many people who died because of her, and she couldn't remember where she provoked such an enemy, but she was able to come to see her joke at this time, it must have been a big deal.
The Queen Mother and Aunt Wang looked at each other, and after a long time, Aunt Wang smiled, "Concubine Ru, you may not remember me, but I have missed Concubine Runiang for sixteen years." ”
For example, Concubine was the title of the Queen Mother before the death of the emperor, and the Queen Mother was not too surprised when she was called, but she was a little surprised.
But the sixteen years that I heard from Aunt Wang's mouth shocked the Queen Mother, if she remembered correctly, what she did sixteen years ago that people can 'miss' to this day is the fire.
Carefully looked at Aunt Wang's face, but there was no impression at all, the original Wang Cairen was not an outstanding person, not to mention that after sixteen years of hardships in life, although he was a few years younger than the Queen Mother, he looked more than ten years older than the Queen Mother.
Besides, even in the past, the queen mother, who was still like a concubine, had never seen such a talented person who rose from the palace maid because of the birth of the prince.
Seeing the strangeness in the eyes of the Queen Mother, Aunt Wang smiled self-deprecatingly, "If the concubine is afraid that the nobles will forget things, how can you remember the talented person who knew the lowly back then." ”
The Queen Mother was even more sure of Aunt Wang's identity, but today, no amount of blows could move her, so she just sneered: "I can't imagine that the fire didn't burn you." ”
Aunt Wang's eyes narrowed red, "I'm still alive, and I disappointed Concubine Runiang." ”
The Queen Mother also glared back at Aunt Wang hatefully, "You are a strange mourner in your heart, and you want to kill you, right?" Now that he has come back alive, he has come to seek revenge on the mourning family? ”
Aunt Wang nodded, "Over the years, there hasn't been a day when I haven't thought about skinning you and tearing you apart." Why can you decide the life and death of others with a simple word? Harm other people's flesh and blood separation? Now that you are not satisfied as the queen mother, why do you still harm my emperor? ”
The Queen Mother laughed when she heard the 'haha', laughed out of tears or laughed wildly, until she was choked with saliva and coughed violently, she stopped, and after coughing, she glared at Aunt Wang fiercely, "Why are you asking the mourning family?" Then why don't you want to think about it, why should a noble-born mourning family raise a son born to a lowly woman like you? Why did the mourning family raise a son for you for five years, and in the end, he still only had you as his mother in his heart? If you don't die, the mourning family will raise him, and all he has in his heart is you, his mother, what is my adoptive mother? Besides, at that time, the mourning family also had their own flesh and blood, but they were ridiculed for having a low-born royal brother, have you ever thought about the mood of the mourning family? ”
"Because of this, you will burn me to death, and never be punished?" Although Aunt Wang had already figured out this truth, she was still very shocked to hear it from the Queen Mother, after all, she was not willing to come from a low background.
A tear flowed from the eyes of the Queen Mother, looking at Aunt Wang, her expression was extremely sad, "This is fate, you have been in the palace for so many years, can't you still see through it?" Now not only are you not dead, you recognize your own son, but you can also watch the jokes of the mourning family here, this is also fate, it is your life, and the life of the mourning family, just like the smart and lovely emperor of the mourning family, who was favored by the emperor, but died at a young age, this is still fate. ”
After speaking, the Queen Mother stared at the front with empty eyes, stretched out her hands, and said to herself: "Son, don't be afraid, my mother will accompany you." ”
