“It is said that only in this way can the paper and its contents be sent to the underworld.
At that time, the Empress Dowager asked Gu Qingfeng for it, but he refused to give it to her.
So when he was leaving, the Empress Dowager ordered someone to take away two sheets of paper and some of the ink he had ground."
"Then... Mr. Qingfeng didn't notice?" Bei Mingxuan thought for a moment and said, "Regarding the Empress Dowager's visit to the General's Mansion, I have a vague impression of her.
It is said that this method was taught by Master Fuyou. Using ink mixed with blood and paper with one's own name on it, one can copy the Samsara Sutra. Then, two people can meet again in the next life.
"Yes." The old queen said, "Although I don't know whether it's true or not, Gu Qingfeng was very obsessed with this at the time, and he has been persisting in it without interruption for so many years.
At that time, Grandma Huang was curious and wanted to give it a try, but in the end... she gave up.
But I kept the things I got from Gu Qingfeng and didn’t throw them away. After a long time, I forgot about them.
It wasn't until I was thinking about how to resolve the conflict between you and Chang'an that I remembered these things. I didn't expect they could still be used."
"I also feel very guilty. At least I finished this matter before coming to Chang'an." The old queen looked into Bei Mingxuan's eyes, "I hope that Gu Qingfeng's death has nothing to do with you."
"Grandson swears that Mr. Qingfeng's death was definitely not caused by me." Although Bei Mingxuan felt uncomfortable when he heard such words, he could not blame anyone for this matter. He did not blame the Empress Dowager for being suspicious. If it were him, he would also be suspicious.
Therefore, he never blamed Chang'an for the hatred in his heart. It was all his own fault.
"Alright." The Empress Dowager felt a pang of pain in her heart. "I know you well. But Chang'an is too stubborn."
"Chang'an is not to blame for this." Bei Mingxuan said immediately, "It was my grandson who didn't do it well."
"You don't have to be nervous, the Empress Dowager didn't say anything bad about Chang'an.
However, in Changan's heart, he still owes you his trust, otherwise things wouldn't have developed to this point."
Bei Mingxuan didn't say anything. He knew that Chang'an had been hurt, and he also knew that this trust was something he had fought hard to gain, and then he shattered it with his own hands before he had the chance to protect it.
"Chang'an has her grandson in her heart." Bei Mingxuan was worried that the old ancestor was dissatisfied with Chang'an. "Otherwise, she wouldn't hate him so much, and her eyes wouldn't turn red and her hair wouldn't turn white. It's all her grandson's fault."
"Every wrong has its perpetrator." An angry voice came from outside the door.
Looking closely, it was Xu Yitong.
"Greetings, ancestor." Xu agreed and bowed slightly, "Xuan'er, how could the matter between you and Chang'an be your fault?
You have fought so hard for the Shu Kingdom and have devoted so much effort to protecting Chang'an, yet she doesn't even know how to thank you and is blaming you for Gu Qingfeng's death. This is simply outrageous."
"Hmph!" The old queen mother had been angry with Xu Yitong during this period. "The queen mother has such a bad temper."
Because of the events in Chang'an, Xu Yitong was also dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's approach.
I have been holding this anger in my heart for a long time, especially since Bei Mingxuan would go against me from time to time, "Yes, I do have a bad temper.
But, Grand Empress Dowager, you should also take a break. Don't waste your time on unnecessary things at such an old age."
The old queen frowned and stared straight at Xu Yitong, "You...why do you dislike Chang'an so much? Was your previous attitude towards Chang'an all fake?
And Gu Qingfeng, no matter what the reason was, don't you feel any regret for his death?"
"You deserve it!" Xu Yitong said fiercely.
Bei Mingxuan looked at his mother. He only knew that she was deceived by Xu Mengyun's words, but he never thought that she seemed to hate Chang'an from the bottom of her heart recently.
"Queen Mother, don't you feel that you are being used?"
"Empress Dowager?" Xu Yitong looked at Bei Mingxuan in surprise. "You actually call me, Empress Dowager?"
"Is there something wrong?" Bei Mingxuan's face was cold, and his eyes no longer had the gentleness and respect of the past.
"Hmph, very good." Xu Yitong's face was cold. She put all her dissatisfaction on Chang'an. "For Gu Chang'an."
As she spoke, a cold look in her eyes swept across the old empress dowager's face, and she turned around and said, "Since the emperor and the grand empress dowager like her so much, I have nothing to say.
Keep her here. My only request is to release Mengyun from prison."
The Queen Mother couldn’t understand why her attitude towards Chang’an had changed so much, “Mengyun is the daughter of the Xu family, just like you and I.
She will be fine, but she will definitely learn a lesson.
As for Chang'an, don't even mention that you won't let her into the palace. Even if all of us begged her to come, she wouldn't come back."
"That's perfect." Xu Yitong was furious. "I don't want her to come to the palace. If she comes, I will definitely teach her how to be a daughter-in-law."
The old queen gnashed her teeth and said, "Xu Yitong, what kind of crap is going on in your head?
When you were confined to Anxi Palace, Xuan'er would not have survived if Qiuya had not secretly protected you at that time.
After Qiuya's death, if it weren't for Gu Qingfeng's guidance and teaching, your son would have been a mediocre person now.
Now, you are so mean to Qiuya and Qingfeng's only bloodline. You, you are simply a fool. "
"Haha, what a Nangong Qiuya." Xu Yitong laughed so hard that tears came to her eyes.
She walked back to the old queen's side and said, "Foolish thing? Take a good look at us and see who is the foolish one!"
Xu Yitong threw a stack of papers on the old empress dowager, "Grand Empress Dowager, you had a good personal relationship with the Southern Emperor back then. At that time, I, Qiuya, the late emperor, Prince Yi... and Gu Qingfeng.
She is the closest person to me, and I have never doubted the friendship between Qiuya and me.
When I realized that the late emperor had countless women around him, he could deceive me and even use me to destroy King Yi.
King Yi could stop for me for the sake of brotherhood. When I understood everything, I thought that all the love was not as good as the friendship between Qiuya and me.
But... they were all wrong."
The old empress dowager looked at the paper Xu Yitong threw out, staring blankly at the contents on it.
a long time.
She said, "I know about this."
"You, you know?" Xu Yitong was surprised, looking at the old queen as if she were a monster, "You, actually know everything.
The late emperor kept me by his side only because Nangong Qiuya rejected his love. Since he couldn't get Nangong Qiuya, he let me into the palace.
It’s just because Nangong Qiuya can come to the palace to see me from time to time, and he can see Nangong Qiuya.”
Xu Yitong looked at the old queen mother without saying anything. She continued to ask, "You know all this too?"
