The Strategy of Washing Clean a Slag Shou

Chapter 79

Ci'an Palace Buddha Hall.

The Empress Dowager was holding a string of Buddhist beads, and at some point a strand of white hair had been added to her temples. She lowered her eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

All the palace people in the palace hesitated and dared not say a word. Nanny Song had been serving her for a long time, knowing the empress dowager's temper, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward.

She bowed and said respectfully: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, it is said that an accident happened on the way to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors. Lord Fengjun was... hijacked by King Wu. He is fine, but he was a little frightened. It's going to be postponed."

The queen mother suddenly opened her eyes, she slowed down, and then asked in a deep voice: "Then... how will the emperor deal with King Wu?"

Nanny Song wondered: "I don't know yet, but..."

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath, having lost her usual calmness, she slapped the table heavily and said, "Quickly say it!"

"However, I heard that King Wu was shot by an arrow in the leg, and now he has been detained in the sky prison and handed over to Lord Wang Shuo to take care of him."

"Wang Shuo..." The Empress Dowager's face was extremely ugly, "That black-faced Hades that frightens the villains in the prison? No, Aijia must see the emperor." She stood up abruptly and walked out.

Nanny Song hurriedly chased after her and persuaded her, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wu destroyed the ancestral sacrifice, intending to coerce Lord Feng into murdering His Majesty, and committed a heinous crime. His Majesty is currently in a fit of anger. If you intervene again, wouldn't it be an annoyance to His Majesty?" Without heart, His Highness King Wu will have no way out."

The queen mother slowed down, she clenched the prayer beads in her hand, and said sharply: "Aijia is his mother after all!"

Nanny Song came to her side and said softly, "Do you still remember the incident of going to the study in the winter of Emperor Chongdi's 13th year."

As soon as the words fell, the queen mother trembled her fingertips, and finally stopped. Even if she wanted to forget that matter, how could she forget it.

Zong Huan killed the Empress Dowager when he was born, although the late Emperor was jealous of him, it was not easy to blame him for these unfounded things, but he was usually left out in the cold so that he would not be thrown into the cold palace.

The reason why he was completely rejected was because of an incident that happened in the upper study in the winter of Emperor Chongdi's 13th year.

At that time, the Empress Dowager was only Concubine Xiao, and Concubine Shu, who had a close friendship with her, was pregnant with the dragon seed. The late Emperor was very happy and stayed in Concubine Shu's bedroom almost every night.

In a place like the harem, there has never been a long-term friendship, only mutual use. When there is a common enemy, they are friends, and when their interests are in conflict, they are enemies. Concubine Xiao did not hesitate, she decided to let Concubine Shu have a miscarriage.

Although Concubine Shu has always been on guard against her, Concubine Xiao is even more skilled. The sachet she wears contains some medicine that can cause miscarriage. It is colorless, odorless and hard to detect. It will happen, but she and Concubine Shu often see each other, but Concubine Shu has signs of miscarriage within two months.

Things are often such a coincidence. Concubine Shu was granted by the late emperor that day, and was fortunate enough to enter the study to visit the fourth prince, but she was accidentally bumped into by Zong Huan. In fact, the collision was not serious. Concubine Shu was just frightened and took two steps back. He stabilized his body, but saw red in the next moment.

If it were someone else, the first emperor might have thought about the reasons for it, but the target was Zong Huan who killed the empress dowager right after birth, it was very reasonable for Concubine Shu to be forced into miscarriage by his evil spirit.

Concubine Xiao Gui was also there at the time. She entered the study room under the influence of Concubine Shu, but saw the scene where her son was severely reprimanded by the late emperor and sent to the cold palace. Without saying a word, it seems to be resigned to fate.

However, before he left, he glanced at Concubine Xiao Gui, making her feel cold all over for an instant. Until now, she has changed from Concubine Xiao to Empress Dowager, and she still remembers that deep and indifferent gaze.

--he knows! !

He knew that it was Concubine Xiao Gui who caused Concubine Shu's miscarriage, and he also knew that his mother concubine had given up on him for the sake of her future, and even refused to save him, without saying a word or begging for love for him.

This is also the reason why Zong Huan had been in Qianqiu Palace for three years, and the queen mother never visited her. She was actually guilty and guilty, but she had no way of turning back.

Now that Nanny Song mentioned this matter, she finally came to her senses. Although the emperor still regards her as a filial mother, the relationship between the two of them is far from that of an ordinary mother and child.

She once wanted her life for King Wu, but now, she doesn't have the face to ask for a second time.

She closed her eyes, with a dejected look on her face, she had infinite honor in her life, she thought she was the last winner in this harem, but she lost so terribly.

=========

Chengqian Palace.The crimson candlelight swayed gently.

Zong Huan fed some warm water into Su Yang's mouth, and the two white lips finally showed a moist color, but his face was still very pale, and the boy in his arms lowered his eyelashes, like a delicate and beautiful puppet. Fiddled with, but refused to say a word.

This kind of obedience is not resistance, Zong Huan never knew that there is really such a kind of pain in the world, there is no scar at all, but the pain is suffocating.

He stabilized his mind, leaned down and kissed the corner of his lips, and said: "I have already checked by someone, and the second day of the next month is an auspicious day, so you will take care of yourself and wait for me to marry you."

The boy who had been quiet all this time finally raised his eyes and asked softly, "Don't you have to go to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices?"

His tone was very calm, as if he was just asking casually, but in Zong Huan's ears, it was no different from ridicule.

Whether it's Wuling Mountain or Wangchen Peak, they only left bad memories there, he just wished that these two peaks would be razed to the ground, how could he tolerate Su Yang setting foot there again.

He took a deep breath and said, "No need to go, never go again."

Su Yang stopped talking, just lowered his eyes and closed his eyes to rest his mind. He has suffered a lot today, and he no longer has the energy to deal with anyone.

Compared with grievance, it is more precisely disappointment. He has not been in this world for a long time, but he has a deep affection for Zong Huan inexplicably. He can't explain the reason, but there is no doubt that he unconsciously completely trusts Zong Huan. entrusted to the other party.

But this man didn't take care of it properly, instead wantonly trampled on his trust.

Seeing him like this, Zong Huan was even more flustered. He imprisoned him in his arms almost paranoidly, as if he could keep him by his side forever.

He murmured: "I know you are blaming me, but this is the kind of person I am. I have lived for more than 30 years, and no one has ever cared about my feelings, and no one has ever thought for my sake. A joke, apart from betrayal and scheming, has no other meaning, I don't know how to trust others, Bao'er, I want to trust you too, but..."

Su Yang still doesn't know what's going on in his heart, because the original owner once betrayed him, it's conceivable how difficult it is for a suspicious person like Zong Huan to regain trust.

However, he was still injured after all.

Zong Huan held his cheeks and said slowly: "When I heard the conversation between you and Zong Xu, I just thought it was a hallucination. It turns out that Bao'er has always had me in her heart, and she would rather die than betray me. Hearing those words from you, I think that even if you die like this, you will have no regrets."

Su Yang frowned and muttered, "Crazy."

Zong Xu pressed his forehead against his shoulder, and said with a low smile, "I'm crazy, but you turned me into a lunatic."
