Chapter 437 Unwilling
As soon as Madam Ning walked out of the Wanshou Palace, she was stopped by a little palace maid.
"Madam, our queen invites you."
Xu Shiyun stretched out her hand to stop her mother. She recognized that this was the palace maid who served the deposed queen.
He looked at her warily.
Now the queen has been deposed, her daughter was torn to pieces alive, her grandson has gone insane, and her granddaughter was struck to death by a god when she ascended to heaven.
She was afraid that the queen would do something in her madness.
"What does she want from my mother?"
The little maid lowered her head: "The queen didn't say, she just wanted to see the old lady."
Madam Ning frowned and patted her daughter soothingly: "It's okay, I'll be back soon. She can't do anything right now."
The ceremony of crowning the queen is approaching, and the old emperor will never let her ruin things.
Xu Shiyun understood it in her heart, but she was still worried.
She simply asked Rong Che and others to wait at the palace gate, and she took Chao Chao and the maid with her.
The maids around her are masters personally selected by Emperor Beizhao. Unless they encounter servants of gods or evil spirits, they can almost walk around freely in the mortal world.
The little palace maid led a few people to the cold palace.
The cold palace was desolate and bleak, but from time to time one could hear melodious singing that sounded like neither crying nor laughing.
"Hey, hey, give me back my child, give me back my child..."
"My son, you have divine power before you were born. You must be a rare talent. My son, in the future you will be the emperor, and I will be the empress dowager..." A crazy woman with disheveled hair hugged a pillow, singing a lullaby and patting it gently.
As she was singing, she saw the queen sitting in the room, and her eyes suddenly darkened.
"Bitch, bitch, it's all your fault, bitch. You killed my son. Ahhh, my son, my son is gone!!"
"Give me back my son, give me back my son!" The woman pounced on the queen and tried to tear her apart.
The little palace maid immediately rushed forward and drove the crazy woman out.
The crazy woman hugged a pillow, her hair was messy, and she laughed from time to time.
"Hehe, God will take it all, no one will be spared."
"God has eyes, and retribution will come."
"Wow, I want to set off firecrackers to celebrate the New Year..."
"I heard that your daughter died? Your proud granddaughter died? Your grandson went crazy? You were also banished to the cold palace." Every word the woman said was like a sharp knife stabbing at the queen, causing her face to change drastically.
"Oh, by the way, the Su family is also dead. It's great to have the whole family reunited and together..."
"The family is reunited, the family is reunited..." The woman skipped and ran out the door.
When she passed by Xu Shiyun, she paused.
The maid stopped beside her fearfully, but she just looked at Xu Shiyun's belly quietly.
Then he patted the small pillow in his arms lovingly, sang a lullaby gently, and lost himself in hallucinations.
Only after she left did Xu Shiyun sigh softly.
"He's just a poor man." In the harem, every step was taken with caution, and countless innocent souls were buried.
The queen was sitting in the shabby cold palace. The teacup on the table had a big crack on it and her hair was combed meticulously.
The young palace maid who entered the hall still paid her respects according to the usual rules.
Everything seems to have not changed.
"Are you happy to see me in trouble?" She looked at Old Lady Ning who was standing below.
"You are so lucky. After thirty-eight years of pursuit, you were able to enter the Southern Capital alive! Fortunately, the emperor does not love you as much as I thought."
"Life-saving benefactor, the kindness of husband and wife, turns out to be nothing."
"It's a pity that I got my hands dirty." The queen sneered with disdain.
"It's a pity that you are so lucky that you were able to crawl out of the coffin alive!"
"If it weren't for you, if it weren't for you! How could I have ended up like this?! It's all your fault, all your fault!"
"You were buried alive, why did you come back?! Why!"
Old Madam Ning said calmly, "Didn't anyone tell you? Nan Fengyu buried me alive, and Nan Mubai happened to lead the people from Beizhao through here. He led people to dig me out? I should thank your eldest grandson."
The queen was startled for a moment, then she gave a sad smile.
Only two lines of tears fell.
"It's all fate. It's all fate."
"Hahaha, Ning, how much better are you than me?"
"You saved the emperor's life, and you even have a relationship with him. How sincere is he to you?"
"Even if I'm not the queen, it won't be your turn!"
"He's eager to distance himself from you now, right? Hahahaha, the elves, the elves..."
"The elves can give him hundreds of years of life, why would he choose you?"
"You are also his abandoned child."
"Your ending is the same as mine."
"Ning, don't think you are better than me! I am waiting to see you make a fool of yourself. You will end up in the same situation as me!"
Madam Ning shook her head slightly.
"In fact, I never thought of competing with you for anything."
"Back then, even if you did nothing, I would not have entered the palace."
"Although I come from a peasant family, I have my own backbone. Although life in the countryside is hard, I do not yearn for the luxury of the palace. If you do nothing, I will also reject him."
She could eat coarse food in the countryside, but she was unwilling to enter the palace as a concubine.
She didn't know why she was so arrogant, but she knew that she would never be a concubine.
She refused the Queen of the West Palace, not by refusing.
From the day the old emperor's identity was exposed, she had thought about staying away from him.
But the queen did not give her this opportunity.
The queen was full of disbelief. How could a girl who was born and raised in a farm family not yearn for life in the palace?
Madam Ning didn't explain much.
The queen stood up and walked towards her step by step.
"Do you know how jealous I was of you at that time? The emperor had countless beauties in his harem, but when he was unconscious, he only called out your name."
"How could I allow this!! How could I allow myself to lose to a peasant girl!"
"If he misses your face, I will destroy your appearance."
"If he pronounces your voice, I will burn your throat!"
She rushed forward and pulled off Ning's veil.
Her carefree smile froze on her lips.
The bumps and dents she had imagined did not appear on her cheeks... The queen took a sudden step back, fell in front of the table, and pushed the chipped teacup on the table to the ground.
She looked at Ning with horror and disbelief in her eyes.
"How is it possible?! How is it possible! Your face, your voice..." Only then did she realize that Ning's voice was not as deep and hoarse as before.
It's actually quite clear and pleasant to the ear!
"I saw them being scalded with hot oil with my own eyes. How could this happen?"
She had only heard the emperor mention Ning's stunning beauty before, but she had never actually seen Ning when she was young.
The first time she met Ning was thirty-eight years after Ning fled.
His hair is gray, his body is hunched, and his face looks weathered.
The only thing that stands out is the voice.
But now…
Ning lifted her veil in front of her, revealing her black hair. Her skin had long since regained its elasticity as it did in her youth, and her eyes made the queen feel vaguely dazed.
No wonder, no wonder...
The emperor never forgot it.
She even felt that she was so beautiful that she didn't seem like an ordinary person.
