Chapter Twenty-Six: Life Is Short

"How can he be deserved." Wu Ling was not as safe as the emperor, she was so nervous that she couldn't help herself, so she could only kneel silently under the hall and look at the two of them.

"It's good to know." The emperor's phoenix eyes suddenly seemed to erupt into flames, glaring at Wu Ling.

"Queen Mother......" Wu Ling didn't want to explain, let alone how to explain, now it seems that the queen mother must have something to do with herself!

"Since there is nothing to do, the concubine will retire." The emperor and queen glanced at the emperor, brushed her sleeves away, and stopped when she walked to Wu Ling's side, looking at Wu Ling's eyes, as if she wanted to look into her heart. "You come with me."

"Yes." Wu Ling lowered her head and bit her lip tightly: "Emperor Sheng'an, Wu Ling retires." ”

The emperor waved his hand and sighed expressionlessly.

I don't know when the heavy snow has stopped, and the winter sun is sweeping, illuminating everything around that is covered with snow and dazzling, but Wu Ling's heart seems to have suddenly fallen into the haze and bitterness of an abyss.

The emperor and queen hurried all the way, and Wu Ling even saw the emperor's dark purple skirt rising one after another, obviously angry.

"Queen Mother...... Wu Ling didn't know what to say, she just wanted to call her.

"You still have the face to call me the queen mother?!" The emperor and queen stopped, looked back at Wu Ling, and a pair of beautiful eyes seemed to be about to spew fire!

Wu Ling lowered her head, bit her lip tightly, and was silent.

She is not good at explaining, this kind of thing can't be explained, how can she say that the emperor just said that he wanted her to be the emperor and queen of Shuo? And not to be the emperor and queen?

Wu Ling knew that the queen mother wanted her son Rui to be the future emperor, and Wu Ling also knew that the emperor had not bluntly told the emperor who he wanted to inherit the country, so even if he explained it to the queen mother now, it was better not to explain.

First, she didn't know whether the emperor's words just now meant a temptation or something else.

Second, the fact of inheritance is not child's play, Emperor Wanzun can say it casually, but she can't.

Wu Ling could only stand nervously beside the queen mother, bearing her anger.

"Why don't you speak!" For the first time in her life, the emperor and queen were angry, no longer laughing at Wu Ling gently and kindly, but angry and fierce.

"Wu Ling has nothing to say." Wu Ling bit her lip tightly, her two fists clenched tightly, almost trembling.

"You have nothing to say? What does the emperor mean, and what do you mean?! The emperor roared angrily, the sleeves of her robe flew up, and her teeth chattered in annoyance!

"Wu Ling has no intention, Wu Ling will follow her mother in this life, and she will not think about it." Wu Ling knelt down, tilted her head to one side, and looked to the side indifferently.

"Then why would the emperor say such a thing for no reason!" The emperor gritted her teeth in annoyance and asked, and Liuyun's sleeves were almost clenched in her hands and torn apart.

But in Wu Ling's opinion, the queen mother was wronged, and the wronged emperor would say such a thing, but she couldn't explain all this, so she could only say quietly: "Wu Ling doesn't know." ”

The Empress frowned, sighed in a low voice, and then paced to the side, picked up a piece of dead leaves with falling snow and had already withered into a ball, and spoke quietly.

"Spring goes to autumn, the flowers fall and wither, far more suddenly than we imagined, I don't know one day, this splendid country, will belong to others, this position, no longer belongs to us."

The emperor's words, with a trace of sadness, she looked at the withered leaves in a daze, not knowing what to think in her heart, and finally pinched the withered yellow leaves turned into pieces and fell into the snow, and then continued to stare at those pieces of dust.

"What does the queen mean?"

Wu Ling didn't know what the queen mother meant by saying this, she had always been unable to understand those roundabout words. Wu Ling thinks that as long as she knows what the queen mother wants to do, she will do it.

"Alas...... This palace doesn't care about this posteriority, this palace just wants to know why the emperor said this, why you, why you. ”

"Wu Ling doesn't know." She can only say that she doesn't know, but she doesn't know.

Wu Ling smiled bitterly in her heart, the queen mother had never claimed to be the palace in front of her, it seemed that the queen mother was unfamiliar with herself after all.

"I heard that Princess Duanjing presented a poem to the emperor at the funeral banquet yesterday, and this poem is full of words of love."

Wu Ling was stunned for a moment, and then Wu Ling understood why the queen mother appeared quietly, and even appeared in the court hall without even reporting the servant.

It turned out that the queen mother had long been suspicious, and she had already known that she had sent a letter to the emperor yesterday and asked for grace for Concubine Ying.

What is written in that poem, even people like Wu Ling, who don't understand poetry, can see the love and love in it at a glance.

That's why the queen mother quietly appeared and prevented the servants from reporting, just to know what the emperor said and did to her.

"This poem was not written by Wu Ling."

"This palace knows that it is not you, you only know astronomical gossip, mathematics and the Book of Changes, how can this vassal elegance matter, since this palace has taught you, it naturally knows how much ability you have. I just want to know, who asked you to present this thing to the emperor? ”

Wu Ling raised her head and looked at the back of the emperor, biting her lips to death, and she actually took a mouthful of blood.

Long.

"Yes...... Concubine Ying. Wu Ling doesn't lie, let alone lie to the queen mother, so after thinking about it for a while, she decided to tell the emperor the truth.

The emperor raised her eyebrows, as if she was very surprised, she knew that Wu Ling would not lie, although she was puzzled, she also knew that what she said was true. She didn't know about the Wind Cliff, she just thought that Wu Ling killed Concubine Ying with her special ability, and she did it without revealing it.

Since it is entrusted by Concubine Ying, there is no need to ask more about the person who is already dead, the wall has ears, if this matter is entangled, and the matter of Wu Ling's killing of Concubine Ying is revealed, she will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

"Well, since he is dead, the queen mother will no longer ask." The emperor turned around, glanced at Wu Ling kneeling in the snow again, raised her hand confidently and said, "Get up, the queen mother doesn't blame you." ”

"Thank you, Mother." Wu Ling's whole body was weak, and when she heard the emperor and queen call herself the queen mother again, she seemed to be liberated.

Thinking about it, if the queen mother asked about Concubine Ying, Wu Ling really didn't know how to explain it to the queen mother. Fortunately, the queen mother didn't ask any questions, and Wu Ling's heart suddenly seemed to untie a big knot, and she suddenly became enlightened.

"My good daughter, Concubine Ying has done a good job, and the queen mother will reward you." The emperor raised her hand and stroked Wu Ling's head, as before.

Wu Ling's nose was sour, and she almost shed tears, but the tears spread out again and disappeared without a trace.

"Wu Ling, my daughter, you must know that the past has passed, and those who should go have never stayed, and now there is only you and you are the queen mother."

"Yes......" Wu Ling listened silently, she was indeed only the queen mother.

"The queen mother has one more thing to tell you."

Wu Ling raised her head and looked at the emperor's dark eyes, and there was a hint of joy in them.

"Shuo has returned to the palace after winning the battle, and will probably enter the city at noon today."

"Shuo...... Come back? Wu Ling suddenly felt a little happy!

A heart, which was originally a deep dead silence, suddenly became restless because of the queen mother's words.

In the whole body, there is also an unknown emotion, with joy and anticipation, wandering all over the body, and even breathing is much faster.

The man who has been waiting for a long time is finally coming back!

Listening to Shangguan Yu, he was tired in the army, and he was more like a man after training. I wonder if he has experienced a lot of vicissitudes? I wonder if he's changed now?

What will become of him? Is it still the boy who pulled the tip of his nose and made a grimace? Or do you want to become old and steady, like those calm generals in the court?

"Yes, but the queen mother doesn't want to hide it from you, Shuo is about to die soon, so you should accompany him more."

Wu Ling was shocked when she heard this, the whole person was stunned, she didn't know what to say with her mouth open, her heart suddenly fell from joy, her eyes widened, and she hurriedly asked in surprise: "What happened to Shuo?" ”

"My witch ling...... It's the first time the queen mother has seen you so flustered. The emperor smiled silently, and said: "The queen mother heard that the long-term wind and cold in the border army caused Shuo's physique to be weak, and General Ma was angry because of the defeat and retreat, saying that it was a banquet and reconciliation, but he was secretly poisoned, which made Shuo's body even weaker, and he only attacked back with one breath, so in the last battle, he was attacked by the enemy, so he was seriously injured, barely won the stand, and returned to the palace in one breath to restore his life, so now there is not much time." ”

After listening to what the emperor said, Wu Ling's expression on her face did not change, but she began to feel that this thing was very strange.

Shuo's cunning and health she knows, although Shangguan Yu said that he is tired, but he also said that Shuo is very adaptable to life in the army, eating and sleeping with the sergeants, leisurely! It is impossible to be so weak that the body will not be secretly poisoned without knowing it!

"Queen Mother...... Is there something strange about this? Wu Ling hesitated for a long time, and finally asked.

"Oh? Does Wu Ling suspect something? The emperor and queen suddenly smiled, looking at Wu Ling and smiling brightly like a flower.

Wu Ling raised her eyes, looked at the smiling eyes of the queen mother again, suddenly understood something, and replied in a low voice: "No." ”

"It's good to know, you can go." The emperor waved his hand, and several attendants beside him brought the sedan chair.

Wu Ling silently watched as the queen mother got into the sedan chair and flew back to Shuo's mansion.

What does the queen mother's smile represent? What does she know? Or is this whole thing about her?

Wu Ling didn't dare to think about it, as soon as she thought of this, she felt restless, and the aura in her whole body was all abnormal, running around, bulging in her body, rushing into her heart, and then bringing her limbs to a hundred remains, making her whole person in a state of anxiety.

She never knew that Shuo was so important in her heart!

When she heard her mother say that Shuo would die soon, her heart almost seemed to have fallen into the snow, and even her heartbeat froze!

Her soul has long since flown away, and now she just wants to return to the Emperor's Mansion quickly to see what happened to Shuo!

Looking at the street where there was no one at all due to the heavy snow, Wu Ling took a deep breath and decided not to take the carriage anymore, but to transport the spiritual power in his body, flew out, jumped onto the eaves, and rushed straight to the Emperor's Mansion!
