Chapter 136 The Queen Mother's Secret
In the Cining Palace.
The empress dowager closed her eyes tightly, her face was pale and frighteningly pale, her hands were tightly twisting the handkerchief in her hands, and there was a porcelain vase on the small table in front of her.
The porcelain bottle contains bone-breaking poison.
Shi Yu had already suffered broken bones twice, and if it happened a third time, even gods would be unable to save him.
But, she had no choice but to do so...
"Your Majesty, Prince Rong has entered the palace."
There were palace maids whispering in my ears.
The Queen Mother's eyes trembled, and she slowly opened them, but she saw no one.
He actually looked a little happy.
Then the palace servant explained, "The prince said he had something to report to His Majesty and would come later. I couldn't stop him, so I had to come here first to inform you."
Come over later, you'll have to come over sooner or later.
The Queen Mother twisted the handkerchief with even greater force, her fingertips turning white from the exertion.
Suddenly, two little villains started fighting in my heart.
One hopes that Shi Yu will come sooner so that she can end this painful suffering sooner.
One hoped that he would be more disobedient and not step into the Cining Palace.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the palace maid was about to leave.
The Queen Mother's voice sounded faintly, "Look at his body, is he really okay?"
The palace maid raised her eyes and saw that the empress dowager was still looking outside the door with an unclear expression.
He nodded and said, "It seems that he is better now. I heard from the guards who accompanied him that his skills are even better than before. I think the prince is really better now."
"It's all right...that's all right." The Queen Mother murmured, and then her eyes lit up slightly. "Now that he's well, can he withstand the third round of bone-breaking poison?"
You won't die.
When the palace maid heard this, she was shocked.
An hour ago, the Queen Mother suddenly sent them all away, closed the door tightly, and no one knew what she was doing inside.
After a stick of incense, the Queen Mother gave the order with an unexpected look, asking Prince Rong to enter the palace.
She guessed that Prince Rong might be scolded when he entered the palace, but she didn't expect that the Queen Mother would give Prince Rong the bone-splitting poison again.
"My Lady, please have mercy."
The palace attendant knelt down and said carefully, "If the prince is in pain, you will feel good too. The prince is intelligent and filial. If he does something wrong, he will definitely change if you ask him to."
When Nanny Wang Chun was alive, she was not valued by the Empress Dowager.
Today she bravely pleaded for Prince Rong. Firstly, she was also an elder close to the Queen Mother, and she knew that she would feel uncomfortable every time the Queen Mother punished Prince Rong.
The Queen Mother might not be happy at the time for pleading for Prince Rong, but she would definitely remember her in her heart.
Secondly, she had watched Prince Rong grow up. Before Prince Rong had a falling out with the Queen Mother, he had always treated the palace maids like them kindly.
The Queen Mother indeed shifted her gaze and looked at her, "What's your name?"
The palace maid hurriedly said, "This servant is happy."
The Empress Dowager actually remembered her. When she was still the Empress, this palace maid served in Fengyi Palace. After the Emperor ascended the throne, she became the Empress Dowager, and all the people from Fengyi Palace followed her to Cining Palace.
"Change your name. From now on, you'll be called Huang Lian."
How could she be happy when she had to poison her own son with her own hands?
How ironic.
Huanglian is what suits her current mood.
I can’t express my pain!
The Queen Mother's eyes were sore and she raised her head slightly, "You know that the pain is in your son's body and in your heart, why doesn't he understand?
Why do I have to keep provoking people I shouldn't? My heart has been fried in hot oil and frozen in ice, and it's already numb to the pain.
Huang Lian didn't dare say anything more and just listened quietly.
Even her name was changed. She had realized the seriousness of the matter, and the Queen Mother only needed an audience and did not need her consolation.
The Queen Mother poured the poison in the porcelain bottle into the teapot. After doing everything, she looked outside the door again.
After a long time, Shi Yu's tall figure appeared in her sight, with a slender person standing beside him.
The girl who was married to Shi Yu by the emperor.
She did not summon Chang Qingnian, but Shi Yu brought her here. The empress dowager frowned subconsciously, but she saw Shi Yu holding the girl's hand tightly and walking towards her step by step.
She swallowed the scolding.
Over the years, she had dreamed so many times that he would marry and have children, that he would hold the hand of his beloved girl, walk up to her, and tell her, "Mother, I am going to get married."
But over the years, he has always been obsessed with a dead person, a dead 'man'.
She had to worry so much.
Now, this scene has finally come true.
Can.
Her eyes dropped to the teapot in front of her.
Tears rolled down my eyes.
like.
Shi Yu couldn't hold on any longer, so Chang Qingnian went downstairs to accompany him.
"Mother." Shi Yu walked up to her and bowed.
Wei Qingyan also followed suit and bowed.
She didn't kneel!
The Queen Mother couldn't help but look at her again. She had a straight posture, a pretty face, and a clear and tight jaw, which made people see a sense of toughness for some reason.
But it is not the toughness of a man, but the tenacity and boldness that comes from a woman's bones.
The Queen Mother suddenly thought of Wei Qingyan.
If Wei Qingyan had not been dressed as a man since childhood, perhaps her demeanor would be like Chang Qingnian's.
She looked at Shi Yu, "The emperor likes her?"
The Queen Mother didn’t want to delve into whether Shi Yu liked this type of girl or just treated this girl as a substitute for Wei Qingyan.
Shi Yu tightened Wei Qingyan's hand and said with a smile, "Yes, I like her."
"good."
Just like it!
The underworld is lonely, but if you have someone you like by your side, it might not be so hard to endure.
If he is lucky enough to survive, he will get married early and go to his fiefdom. His life and death will depend on himself from then on.
The Queen Mother thought quietly in her heart and raised her hand to signal the palace maids to leave.
"Sit down." She pointed to the stool in front of her. "When did you get better? Why didn't you send someone to tell me?"
Shi Yu took Wei Qingyan's hand and sat them down in front of her, saying with a smile, "My son's illness was strange, and his recovery was also strange.
"It's probably because Miss Chang brings good luck to me and my son. I wanted to go to the palace today to tell you, but you happened to call me, so I brought her here to see you."
The Queen Mother looked at him carefully, his picturesque face still fair.
But unlike the paleness of the past, the whiteness of today makes people know that it is healthy at a glance.
It is indeed better.
"I heard that you helped your brother stop the robbers from the execution ground today. Did he reward you?"
The Queen Mother raised her hand and took the teapot that had been warmed on the small stove beside her, and poured two cups of tea into the small cups in front of her.
As if chatting casually, "This is the new tea that was sent as tribute from the south this year. Your royal brother is filial and sent most of it to me. You can try it too."
She kept her voice steady, but her hands were shaking slightly as she poured the tea.
Shi Yu's eyes fell on the teacup, but he didn't pick it up. "My son just drank it in the emperor's palace. If he drinks more, he won't be able to sleep well tonight.
"What is it that the Queen Mother has called her son here for?"
"There are some things. After we have some tea, I will tell you slowly."
The Queen Mother smiled.
Seeing that the two were hesitant to move, she turned her eyes to Wei Qingyan with a fierce look, "You dare to act so arrogantly even though you haven't even married into the royal family yet.
I poured the tea myself, yet you ignored it? You grew up in the countryside, so you're not well-educated."
She glanced at the tea and said coldly, "Drink this cup of tea, and I'll find a nanny to teach you the rules. Don't bring shame to Prince Rong's Mansion."
"The Queen Mother is in a serious condition. I think she is fine." Shi Yu continued, and slowly poured both cups of tea on the ground.
"How dare you!" The Queen Mother flew into a rage. "Come here, Chang Qingnian is rude and unreasonable, and she has offended me. Take her away and teach her a lesson."
Wei Qingyan waved his hand, and the teapot shattered to the ground, pouring out all the tea in the pot.
She chuckled and stood up, "I come from the countryside, and even if I have no rules, I am better than the Queen Mother..."
She leaned forward slightly, staring down at the Queen Mother with a cold gaze, and spoke word by word, "The daughter of the remnants of the previous dynasty... for the sake of the remnants of the previous dynasty, she did not hesitate to poison the prince of the current dynasty. If the world knew about this, what would the Queen Mother do?"
