Chapter 263 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law
This conversation was very long.
Even though I was a little far away, I could still hear Princess Shuhua's anger.
Fortunately, the people around the princess were all capable, and Xie Xuan also ordered people to guard the perimeter of the study.
No one dared to gamble whether the heart of the man who had sat on the throne for nearly two years had become as hard as stone.
If he wanted to take the opportunity to form an alliance with Baishang Kingdom to counter Beirong, or if he wanted to control the imperial power at this moment when Nanling was gathering, he might use Xie Xuan as a warning to others.
And this knife has already been handed over by Bai Shangguo.
As for how to use this knife and how to dig out the bones and extract the marrow from Xie Xuan and the Qilin Army, it was probably no longer within his consideration.
What he wanted was the stability of imperial power and the support of the people.
If Xie Xuan became a threat to him, he would rather send him to the enemy's cavalry.
In this way, he could maintain the supremacy of the majestic imperial power.
No one dared to challenge him anymore.
The conversation didn't end until the moon rose above the treetops.
Seeing Princess Shuhua coming out of the study with a tired face, Xie Xuan hurriedly took Su Shengsheng forward.
"Why are you waiting here? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
These words were said to Su Shengsheng.
Because when she stepped forward to support Princess Shuhua, her hand was held back.
Princess Shuhua ordered Xie Xuan, "Wait aside. I have something to say to your wife."
Xie Xuan paused when he heard this, "Mother..."
"Don't worry... Filial piety is more important than the rule of a king. Please go down."
Xie Xuan was originally worried, but after hearing this, he knew the outcome was clear.
But... his mother deliberately sent him away.
Hearing that Princess Shuhua's voice was a little hoarse, Su Shengsheng ordered someone to get some hot tea.
Xie Xuan looked at his mother's folded hands, said nothing more, and retreated.
There was a coldness in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, but when he looked at Su Shengsheng, it softened.
"You are young after all. How can you know the danger here?" She clapped her hands and led them into the study.
When I heard that she was being held hostage, and now Bai Shangguo had done this again, I knew that they had no good intentions.
After Su Shengsheng was pulled to sit by Princess Shuhua, she did not say a word in rebuttal.
Even the former Holy Queen was unable to overturn the verdict on the Qilin Army in that position, let alone them.
Princess Shuhua has been lying in wait for many years, just waiting to clear the name of the Qilin Army.
Now Zong Zheng Ruijin has kept silent, and no one knows what he is thinking.
Who can tell whether it is pulling out the thorn in the eye or the knife hanging over the head?
But Princess Shuhua said that filial piety is more important than the rule of a king.
Then I knew that this time she was risking her life to fight the emperor.
If the emperor disregards the dignity of the royal family and insists on going through with this marriage, Princess Shuhua will no longer tolerate it.
By then, Princess Shuhua's words would be able to reach all the people in one day, and Zong Zheng Ruijin's throne would be shaken in an instant.
It’s up to him to choose whether he wants a stable Nanling or a disintegrated one.
It can be seen that this time Princess Shuhua's bottom line was touched.
Su Shengsheng looked at Princess Shuhua quietly. She thought she would ask what she thought, but she was asked, "Do you still blame him?"
Seeing Su Shengsheng slightly stunned, Princess Shuhua sighed softly, "In the royal family, you can always get whatever you want, without having to consider other people's feelings at all."
Stroking her soft cheek, Princess Shuhua said softly, "You think you are the only one who can give the best to the one you love, but you never ask if it is what he wants."
Su Shengsheng learned some of his parents' past from Xie Xuan. Now when he heard Princess Shuhua mention it, he only felt regretful.
"You've suffered a lot these days."
When Princess Shuhua said the last sentence, Su Shengsheng felt as if a warm current was flowing through her heart.
She thought that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been difficult to resolve since ancient times.
But unexpectedly, her mother-in-law thought her son was bad and came to comfort her.
This made the vague uneasiness in her heart disappear. She complained quietly, "The general is always brandishing swords and guns, and when he starts quarreling, he is really scary."
Princess Shuhua was amused by her, "You still dare to quarrel with him?"
Su Shengsheng smiled embarrassedly, "I didn't dare before, but now I know that the general doesn't hit women, so I dare."
Princess Shuhua did not respond.
Don't hit women, there's no need to hit them at all.
She knew her son well and knew when he had ever shown mercy.
"Some fear him, some dread him, and some respect him. They all want something from him. Now, only you can help me keep an eye on him and prevent him from going down a dark path."
Su Shengsheng knew that Princess Shuhua was telling Xie Xuan to stop advocating violence.
"When the rules and laws of the world are unclear, people tend to take the most direct approach to solving problems. This is actually a stress disorder."
This time, the nursing team also has a small branch that specializes in dealing with traumatic stress disorder among soldiers.
As the commander of the Qilin Army, Xie Xuan had certain physical and mental wounds that could not be healed.
When a person is disappointed with the world and the law, he will give up the constraints of humanity.
That is the collapse of inner order.
Even though Princess Shuhua didn't know what she meant, she knew that Xie Xuan understood him when she saw how he was with her.
"Thanks to you, he's no longer in pieces."
Su Shengsheng looked at Princess Shuhua in surprise.
Fragmented?
"You haven't seen him before..." Princess Shuhua patted her hands and didn't say anything else.
Even she felt that she could not face the Xie family and the soldiers and civilians of Tianqian Pass with such a heavy sin on her back.
I often feel short of breath.
Although Su Shengsheng was puzzled, when she saw the guilt and sadness in Princess Shuhua's eyes, she knew that the mother was blaming herself for not taking good care of her child.
"The ancients often said that when Heaven sends someone down, they will work hard on their resolve. That's because there are some tasks beyond ordinary people that are given to those chosen by Heaven."
After hearing this interpretation and her gentle and healing words, Princess Shuhua finally understood why her son was so persistent.
"You are such a good child. I feel relieved to know that you are watching over him for me." Princess Shuhua said, feeling a little tired.
Su Shengsheng stood up and said, "Mother is tired today, why don't you go to the inner courtyard to rest first."
Princess Shuhua shook her head and looked out the window. "I'm going to the Xie family ancestral hall... You don't have to accompany me. Go and rest."
Princess Shuhua has been guarding the tomb of Xie Xuan's father outside the Great Wall for many years. Today she returned home and entered the Xie family ancestral hall.
After so many years of perseverance, I believe my obsession can finally be put to rest...
Su Shengsheng didn't say much, bowed and left.
Outside, Xie Xuan was waiting.
After hearing her retelling, Xie Xuan was a little worried, but he also knew that his mother needed to be alone.
So he took Su Shengsheng back to the dormitory.
However, Su Shengsheng has already ordered someone to clean the residence.
Princess Shuhua had not been to the palace for many years, and the courtyard where she lived had not been repaired and was in some disrepair.
She had originally planned to move in with Xie Xuan after the room was cleaned up, but unexpectedly, as soon as she packed up her things, Princess Shuhua sent someone to summon her, saying that she had taken her people back to Lingshan.
The two of them hurriedly said goodbye. If Princess Shuhua had not kept it secret and stopped them from seeing her off, Su Shengsheng would not have been able to stop.
"Princess Shuhua is also waiting..."
Waiting for the day of vindication.
Xie Xuan's nose touched hers, "This day...is not far away."
