Chapter 35: Assassination
The queen's words are inconspicuous, and they are full of warnings. Is this a knock on the mountain or a shock to whom?
No matter how mentally retarded people are, they know that if the two of them sit honestly in the sedan chair, the sedan chair will never fall.
Obviously, the prince has never fallen in a sedan chair alone, and no one believed that the sedan chair could still be lifted and fallen before that.
So who is dishonest? Or is it because of whose existence makes the prince dishonest? So who is the queen talking about, and who is she going to be harsh with?
How can there be a fool in the palace? Who wouldn't hear it? But the harem is the queen's world, and the emperor doesn't have much to say, and Su Ruoshui can't talk about it.
She just sat with her eyebrows bowed, didn't speak, didn't look at anyone, didn't hurry, didn't ask anyone for help, didn't explain anything to anyone, and didn't follow the queen's words.
There is no response to a sentence, and it feels very unpleasant to be ignored. The queen's face was slightly gloomy, and the atmosphere was a little inexplicably embarrassed, and she was just about to say something, when Ye Gu Yuanhong stood up.
"Queen Mother, today's affairs have nothing to do with the minions, it was the son's dizziness and illness that made him sit down for a while, and he turned to the side before overturning the sedan chair."
"Oh, you're all right, aren't you? But has the imperial doctor seen it? "The queen's concern is too fake, it was only five or six minutes from the fall of the sedan chair to the time they walked into the Kunning Palace, and the imperial doctor couldn't fly even if he had wings.
"It's much better after being shocked, and the queen mother doesn't have to worry about it." Ye Gu Yuanhong didn't sit down, and continued: "Erchen is going to Yanqing Buddhist Temple, and I am afraid that I will retire if I miss the hour. ”
"Why is it in such a hurry? Let's go back tomorrow and have lunch at the mourning house. ”
"Erchen wanted to go to the Buddhist temple first, but Ruoshui insisted on visiting his mother first. I have ordered someone to prepare for lunch, and tomorrow we will come again to greet my father, the emperor and the queen mother. Ye Guyuanhong bowed, and Su Ruoshui also got up and was deeply blessed.
"This" The queen wanted to keep them for a while, but the emperor stopped her and said, "Go, go early and return early." ”
"Thank you, Father." They both left, and the queen sighed heavily.
When the Emperor saw that the Empress seemed dissatisfied, he asked her why she sighed.
"Your Majesty, I have long said that finger marrying and baby kissing are unreliable. I have repeatedly advised you to re-marry the prince, but you just refuse. Now to bring such a calamity in, it is really not the blessing of Tanglin. ”
The queen doesn't have the slightest pleasing place to look at Su Ruoshui, and the prince is not her biological child, how can she like Su Ruoshui?
Childlessness is the biggest pain in her heart, she once gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, but unfortunately both died in less than 100 days.
"What do you say? They just got married last night, what do you see? "The emperor is quite fond of Su Ruoshui, his appearance and demeanor are very good, and the most rare thing is that Ye Gu Yuanhong likes it very much. What the emperor is most worried about is that Ye Gu Yuanhong doesn't like women.
"They didn't say anything when they got married last night, they ate breakfast for more than half an hour this morning, and there was not even a waiter on the side, that's all, they were not at ease in the sedan chair, so how can they be in charge of the harem in the future if they are so undignified?"
Yanqing Buddhist Monastery is the royal family temple of Tanglin, Ye Guyuanhong brought Su Ruoshui not to visit Zen and worship Buddha, but to meet a person, a person who was almost forgotten by Tanglin Kingdom.
This person is Princess Jinghe of Beiyi Kingdom, the former queen of Tanglin Kingdom, and most importantly, she is Ye Gu Yuanhong's biological mother Xiao.
According to the official etiquette, Xiao is no longer the queen, Ye Guyuanhong wants to kneel and bow to her twice, and Su Ruoshui wants to bow twice.
"That's it, that's it, it's okay to dispense with these vulgar rites." Dressed in gray-blue cultivation clothes, Xiao sat in the middle of the scripture hall, smiling and accepting the worship of their young couple.
Su Ruoshui only learned Xiao's identity on the way here, and she always thought that the current queen was Ye Gu Yuanhong's biological mother.
After Empress Xiao gave birth to Ye Gu Yuanhong, she abandoned her husband and son and lived in the Buddhist temple, and the emperor issued several decrees to invite her, and even canonized Ye Gu Yuanhong as the crown prince, she was not moved. Xiao insisted on serving the Buddha with his body and no longer contaminating the red dust.
At that time, the Tanglin was full of wars, and the emperor wanted to marry other countries several times to consolidate his power, and weighed the marriages of various princes and princesses.
Xiao didn't want her son to become a victim of a political marriage, so she came forward to make a baby kiss with the Su family. A pair of jade pendants as evidence, and the marriage certificate under the seal of the mother of the country as evidence, determined that this marriage Xiao never left the Buddhist temple again.
Dating for Ye Guyuanhong is the last time the Xiao family exercises the power of the empress, and the marriage between Ye Guyuanhong and Su Ruoshui can be said to be the last wish of the Xiao family before they are completely separated from the royal family.
The emperor has been in very bad health in recent years, and many things have been delegated to the empress, but there are only two things that cannot be moved. One is resolutely not to abolish the prince, and the other is resolutely not to withdraw the marriage contract.
Ye Gu Yuanhong and Su Ruoshui saluted and had lunch with Xiao, Su Ruoshui has copied a lot of Buddhist scriptures since he was a child, but he has a lot of common language to talk about with Xiao. Now I want to come to the Su family to arrange for her to copy Buddhist scriptures, probably not just to practice calligraphy.
"There is nothing long for people outside of us, this string of Buddha beads can calm the nerves, may it welcome you with Jinafu." Xiao Shi took Su Ruoshui's hand and put the Buddha beads on her wrist.
Seeing Su Ruoshui falling like a flower and jade, and being a quiet and dignified person, she felt a trace of relief from her heart, and her kind smile made people's hearts very warm.
"Thank you, mother-in-law." Su Ruoshui didn't know what to call her, and the title of queen had long been sealed in her history.
She now calls herself Jinghe Lao Nun, Su Ruoshui can't call her by her name, is it called 'Lafayette'? Why is this title so familiar?
Xiao's face is like Guanyin, and his eyebrows and eyes are amiable. When he is over fifty, there are no wrinkles on his face, but the white hair on his sideburns cannot hide the frost of the years.
They didn't stay long in the monastery, and after fasting, they went back to the East Palace. They didn't sound the gong to open the way, nor did they bring too many guards of honor, just a carriage. Dozens of guards followed.
The carriage was not moving fast, and the coachmen sat drowsy in front of them.
A group of people who walked the rivers and lakes performed on the roadside, some played with big knives, some danced with spears, and some shouted: "Heroes, uncles, aunts, those who have money hold a money field, and those who have no money hold a personal field......
Su Ruoshui quietly lifted the curtain and peeked out, if it weren't for the fact that it was not convenient for them to wear court clothes, she would definitely get out of the car to see the excitement.
"Whoosh!" Before the driver could come to his senses, he was shot through the throat with an arrow.
