"You have lived a lifetime after all," said the old queen.
"And he's already dead. The only person in Qiuya's heart from beginning to end was Gu Qingfeng.
And King Yi, it is true that he loves you, and it is also true that he gave up on you because of the late emperor.
But he had no improper thoughts about Qiuya, and he and Gu Qingfeng were friends who had risked their lives for each other.
Prince Yi once told me that Nangong Qiuya is very lively and the palace is not suitable for her. She wants to be with someone for the rest of her life, but such an idea is a luxury in the imperial family..."
Xu Yitong interrupted the old queen mother and asked, "When Prince Yi said these words to you, I guess the late emperor hadn't ascended the throne yet? At that time, they were still princes."
"Yes." The Queen Mother didn't think there was anything wrong.
"So... does Prince Yi love her not at all, or does he love her too much?"
“…” The Queen Mother was stunned, and something suddenly flashed through her mind.
Xu agreed, looking into the old empress dowager's eyes and asked, "Prince Yi voluntarily gave up the throne because Nangong Qiuya was not suitable to stay in the imperial family. Do you know about this?"
However, Nangong Qiuya still married Gu Qingfeng. Not only did she marry Gu Qingfeng, but she also corresponded with King Yi after marriage.
Although it is useless to miss someone, it is not a bad thing to be melancholy.
King Yi...
The reason why he never got married was because of Nangong Qiuya.
It is clearly written in their correspondence.”
Xu Yitong sneered, "Your two sons lost their harmony because of Nangong Qiuya, and the late emperor was able to detain Gu Qingfeng for three years because Nangong Qiuya married Gu Qingfeng.
Couldn't he have killed King Yi for Nangong Qiuya?"
"Impossible." Bei Mingxuan said immediately, "Mother, you are well aware of King Yi's death.
I can clearly see the guilt and heartache Prince Yi feels towards his mother."
Xu Yitong didn't intend to refute Bei Mingxuan. She continued, "The most hateful thing is that Nangong Qiuya is actually the leader of the Fusheng Sect, that murderous demon who kills without blinking an eye. The cold poison in my body was caused by her."
"These letters are all fake," the old queen confirmed. "Although the handwriting is the same, handwriting is something that can be forged if one is determined."
The old queen just asked someone to forge Gu Qingfeng's handwriting to deceive Chang'an.
Immediately afterwards, his niece was deceived and exploited by others. Is this retribution?
"No!" Xu Yitong said with certainty, "It's not forged, I recognize their handwriting.
And I know them well. The tone of their correspondence reveals that they were written by them, right? "
"Wrong!" The Queen Mother couldn't bear to listen any longer. "Did a dog eat your brain? Why did Nangong Qiuya poison you? Everything has its cause and effect.
Your words are incoherent and your thoughts are unclear. You actually believed this rubbish. You deserve to be confined to Anxi Palace for many years."
"I'm wrong?" Xu Yitong couldn't accept this. "In the first half of my life, I loved the late emperor wholeheartedly. In the second half of my life, all my guilt, worry, gratitude, and love were placed on Prince Yi, even though I never met Prince Yi in the second half of my life, even though he is dead... But in the end, I realized that their hearts have always been beating for Nangong Qiuya.
The most hateful thing is that I foolishly thought that Nangong Qiuya was the most sincere and kind person to me."
The old queen mother sincerely felt that Xu Yitong was hopelessly stupid. "Who gave you these letters? When did you get them?"
Xu Yitong didn't speak immediately. She was thinking about whether to tell them about this.
However, the old queen mother had no intention of waiting for her to nag. "If you don't want to say it, forget it. Don't end up being schemed against without knowing it, and end up making your own son suffer."
"No," Xu Yitong confirmed. "Whether it's the late emperor, Prince Yi, or Nangong Qiuya, their handwriting is familiar to me, especially Nangong Qiuya. She habitually ends all her words with a small tail, which makes her look playful, just like herself."
"Stupid!" The Queen Mother was very disappointed. "Let alone handwriting, even if you see it with your own eyes or hear it with your own ears, it may not be true.
You are the daughter-in-law of the royal family, a woman in the harem, and the biological mother of the current emperor...
I really don't know whether I should say that you are simple and clean or that you are careless and stupid.
Living in the palace, the things you can’t trust the most are your eyes and ears.”
"Mother." Bei Mingxuan said, "How did you get these things?
Have you ever wondered why these old things are still kept after all these years?
Why didn't you know these things before, but you found out after problems arose between your son and Chang'an?
Then you become angry and hurt, and even transfer all your hatred to Chang'an.
Have you ever thought about why there are all these doubts and irrationalities?"
"Think carefully about what Xuan'er said," the old queen mother said, "Don't forget that you yourself also searched for information about Prince Yi through Fushengmen."
Xu Yitong was stunned. She had long forgotten about this matter.
The next day, after Bei Mingxuan finished his morning court session.
Fu Cheng, who had been following Bei Mingxuan, said, “Your Majesty, this morning, the Grand Empress Dowager said she was unwell and asked the Queen Mother to go to Shoukang Palace.
It was also said that as long as the Queen Mother copied Buddhist scriptures for the Grand Empress Dowager and prayed to the Bodhisattva every day, the Grand Empress Dowager's health would recover.
If there is any interruption for one hundred consecutive days, it will no longer be effective.
Furthermore, during this period, the Queen Mother is not allowed to leave the Grand Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace."
"Yeah." Bei Mingxuan knew that this was an excuse for the Empress Dowager to confine her mother to prevent her from being used by others and causing harm to Chang'an.
"My mother is always filial to the Grand Empress Dowager. If this is the case, I believe the Grand Empress Dowager will recover soon."
"Yes," Fu Cheng said, "Then I will immediately inform Shoukang Palace that the emperor has approved it."
"Go ahead."
Imperial study.
When Bei Mingxuan walked to the door, he felt the murderous aura coming from the room.
He glanced at the eunuch and the guards guarding the door, but didn't notice anything unusual.
So he pretended to know nothing and pushed open the door of the imperial study.
Pushing the door open, his heart skipped a beat when his eyes fell on the white-haired figure's back.
"Chang An?"
Chang'an turned around, not expecting Bei Mingxuan to come back so soon.
At this moment, she had not yet put down the lantern in her hand. It was the lantern that the two of them made together in Ciyu Town.
Chang'an raised his eyebrows slightly and naturally put the lantern in his hand back to its original place.
When he spoke, his voice was stiff and indifferent, "The people around the Emperor of Shu are really useless. I have been idle here for so long, and no one noticed."
However.
Bei Mingxuan seemed not to hear Chang'an's words.
He just stared at her blankly, especially the area around his eyes which looked slightly swollen. "You, cried?"
