Chapter 296 The pride of kneeling
Updated: 2012-09-13
In the second to last month of Zhengchang's 23rd year, many interested people paid attention to the unusual changes in Dongdu. The news that Huguan was conquered by Su Jin was blocked very well. The imperial army and horses were patrolling outside Dongdu. They found that there were military and civilians fleeing from Huguan, so they guided them to take refuge elsewhere.
However, there were as many as 100,000 people and nearly 10,000 defeated soldiers and generals in Huguan, and there were always fish that missed the net. Gradually, the news of Huguan being conquered was still spread.
The newly opened Da Nei Secret Squad was tortured by the Inspection Hall. The Fourth Prince was defeated, but was summoned into the palace by Emperor Chu.
The officers and spies in the Probation Office left the Da Nei Sleeping Squad with their heads raised their chests, and their proud expressions seemed to tell all the people: The Probation Office is already awesome. After three hundred years of force, how could a newly established Da Nei Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleeping Sleep
There is another news that is only circulated among the top powers in the Dongdu. It is said that after Empress Guan broke into the villa, she did not return to the palace immediately, but instead drove to the Guan Mansion...
You should know that since the incident twenty years ago, Empress Guan has not returned to her parents' home for twenty years. The Guan family led by Guan Zaide has never privately contacted the queen who was the mother of the world except for meeting with court court with court etiquette.
Guan Lingsi was deeply shocked. That afternoon, she jumped to her grandfather's courtyard. Luo Wumiao Qi and Chen Xiaojiu, who were guarding outside, shook her head together and signaled her not to go in. Guan Lingsi didn't care so much and forced her into the yard.
Any of the three masters could keep her, but no one took action except for verbal dissuasion. After Guan Lingsi entered the courtyard, she saw a scene that shocked her.
Guan Zaide's door was closed, and Queen Guan knelt silently on the corridor platform. She didn't even have a cushion under her delicate knees, and she knelt firmly. I don't know how long she had been kneeling, her face was pale, and sweat dripping from her forehead.
Guan Lingsi hurriedly ran forward, held his aunt's shoulder, and whispered: "Aunt, why are you doing this?"
Queen Guan refused to answer silently and looked at the closed door stubbornly.
After a while, the door opened gently, Guan Zaide walked out with his hands on his back. He had no expression on his face, as if the person kneeling in front of him was not his biological daughter at all. He ignored Guan Lingsi's begging eyes and said coldly: "Since you like to kneel, then keep kneeling. Although, now I am a minister and you are the queen, no matter how I say, I am your father, and I can bear you kneeling."
"If my father refuses to forgive my daughter, he will not be able to kneel down." Queen Guan said firmly.
"Stop doing this." Guan Zaide snorted coldly and rolled his sleeves: "I haven't made any progress in so many years. If your father had eaten this one, he would have been driven out of Dongdu long ago."
After saying that, Guan Zaide walked out of the courtyard with his head held high, but he couldn't even look at Queen Guan who was still kneeling for a long time.
Guan Lingsi helped his aunt awkwardly, half kneeled beside her, and persuaded, "Auntie, it's not a big deal to kneel like this. Why don't you go back to the palace first and wait until grandpa gets angry before you come back."
Queen Guan sighed faintly, held Guan Lingsi's little hand with her slender fingers and whispered: "Ling'er, you are a good boy. Your aunt has never asked anyone. This time I ask you to help my aunt and your miserable brother."
"No matter what, the prince's body is covered with the blood of the housekeeper. Although he is not your own brother, he can be said to be good to you since he was a child. I remember when he was a child, His Majesty rewarded General Pingxi to pay tribute to him. The prince ate one and thought it tasted good and hid a lot. When you enter the palace, I will share it with you."
Guan Ling thought about the various things he had with the prince when he was young, and couldn't help but feel a little moved and nodded silently.
Queen Guan was careful. She had been in the deep palace for many years and had a very thorough understanding of people's hearts. No matter how big the girl like Guan Lingsi said, it was useless to say anything big. Girls of this age usually remember small things, and often ordinary people can see inconspicuous stories that can make them cry. She just mentioned that the prince had hidden honey fruits and shared them with her, which touched Guan Lingsi's heart and it was known that it worked.
Queen Guan stroked Ling'er's long hair like a waterfall and said with a little sadness: "You know that the prince is now being sent to a villa, which is no different from being in jail. I, a mother, can only meet him today. The prince is haggard and life is worse than death. He is the eldest son, and he is destined to be the prince when he is born. Those brothers want to fight with him and fight with him. He tolerate him everywhere, but others are unwilling to let him go. He pours any kind of dirty water on him, and even Qin Fei has many misunderstandings about him!"
"Qin Fei... Actually, Qin Fei is a very good person..." Guan Lingsi hurriedly defended her twice when she heard the queen mention Qin Fei, for fear that the lord of the harem would have any negative impression of Qin Fei. But she forgot that with Qin Fei's current strength and status, even if the queen looked at him horizontally and looked at him vertically, she would be unable to do anything to him.
Queen Guan whispered: "I'm not saying that Qin Fei is not good. He is biased against your prince's brother. If he has preconceived ideas, it will be difficult to get along with him. In fact, the prince has always wanted to be a good friend of Qin Fei. Now Qin Fei is very popular. He has just acted as the governor of the Procuratorate Department and has won His Majesty's favor. Since Dai'er threw the hydrangea ball, in just two years, he has become one of the most powerful officials in the Great Chu. Such favors are unique. If Qin Fei is willing to help your prince's brother, His Majesty may be able to listen to him and release the prince from the other courtyard."
Guan Lingsi didn't know whether he understood or not, so he was silent for a moment: "Aunt, Ling'er tried to talk to Qin Fei."
Queen Guan was secretly happy, but still looked sad on her face, and she said softly: "Ling'er, aunt knows that you and Qin Fei are in love. For you, he dares to even push the Tang family's marriage and throw the ninth princess whom His Majesty gave him at home and ignores it. However, the relationship between men and women depends on love. If Qin Fei doesn't like you, you talk to the prince, don't say it, so as not to make you both resentful."
"It doesn't matter, Qin Fei is broad-minded, how could he be stingy?" Guan Lingsi giggled.
The queen disagreed. Every little girl knows nothing. If Qin Fei had a broad mind, he would not have castrated the father-in-law Nian for the second time, he would not have forced the prince to hang himself at Anton quickly, and he would not have taken a large group of people to slap in the face on the day when the squad was in the open. He even beat Wei Bingyin in one breath.
"Aunt, you'd better go back first. Grandpa is back, I'll persuade him again!" Ling'er advised.
The queen looked at the empty courtyard sadly, sighed, and Ren Ling'er supported her and stood up with difficulty, with blood oozing out of her knees.
…………
The queen's car finally returned to the palace. Xiao Chuzi, who was sweating profusely, was walking back and forth outside the palace gate. Today, the queen left the palace and his majesty was quite displeased. Xiao Chuzi was ordered to wait at the palace gate, but he didn't dare to leave. He waited several times to pee his pants. The eunuchs on duty prepared more than ten pairs of pants for him to put them in the access control so that he could change them at any time.
Seeing the queen returning from the car, Xiao Chuzi felt relieved. The feeling of urination that was still high, and in an instant, he knelt on the ground happily and shouted: "Welcome the Queen to return to the palace."
The queen lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, walked out with the help of the palace maid, and sneered: "I am not coming back from the palace. Can we look at our son and our father?"
Xiao Chuzi dared not reply, it was obvious that the queen was full of resentment, and Emperor Chu was also secretly angry. How could he dare to participate in the battle between the real dragon and the tigress? He kowtowed immediately: "Queen Qiansheng..."
After saying that, he ran towards the cottage.
Although the queen was in a bad mood, she couldn't help but smile. Xiao Chuzi was worthy of being the most popular eunuch in the palace. She was able to observe words and expressions and ran away with her urine. No one could say that he was not.
The queen no longer got into the sedan chair, but walked straight towards Xuanshi Hall. It was not yet dark, and Emperor Chu should have watched the memorials in Xuanshi Hall that would never be processed.
Outside the Xuanshi Hall, guards patrol, and eunuchs and palace maids were waiting respectfully for the call. An eternal light was lit in the palace, reflecting the busy figure at the desk and writing.
Queen Guan walked in quickly. She looked at the busy Emperor Chu who was behind the desk calmly and said lightly: "I'm back."
"Well, you can go there anytime if you want to go to the villa in the future." Emperor Chu said without raising his head: "But you should go to the government office less."
"What if I have to go?" Queen Guan asked stubbornly.
Emperor Chu raised his head, looked into the queen's eyes, and said slowly: "Then you don't have to come back."
"You want to depose the queen?" The queen's voice was a little resentful, but she was not surprised.
Emperor Chu shook his head, put down the wolf hair in his hand, and walked down from the dragon throne: "I know what you are thinking. You hope that the prince will save the situation. You hope that the housekeeper can devote the strength of the whole family to support the prince. If everything goes as you wish, it is not a bad idea. However, this is not what I hope to see!"
"I'm just a woman and don't understand what men think. But they are all your sons. Even the fourth prince who just came back is all your flesh and blood. You just throw them out like little wolf lambs, just let the living ones be the wolf king. Don't you think it's too cruel?" the queen said tremblingly.
"If the emperor is a lion, he can control all beasts. If the emperor is a wolf, he can only lead the country chickens and dogs. The territory of the Great Chu will be larger in the future, and there will be more talented people. An emperor without sufficient ability will be unable to control it at all. Think about how the powerful Great Wei perished? I will not let the Chu State go on this path!"
The queen was silent for a long time and whispered: "You have many sons, but I only have one son. I must protect him, even if you want to destroy me."
After saying that, the queen walked out of Xuanshi Hall a little bit crappy, and the bloodshot on the corner of her skirt was like a shocking black line, flying away in the eyes of Emperor Chu.
