After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn
Chapter 354: Excuse Me
Gu Aiqing's plan is like sweet dew from heaven, quenching the thirst in my heart, it is really wonderful! "Xiao Xuanchen's voice echoed in the magnificent palace, his eyes flashed with approval, the haze on his face was dispelled by the early sun like morning mist, and even his body seemed to be a little lighter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off.
"We will do as you request and implement it immediately." Xiao Xuanchen's words were steady and powerful, with unquestionable majesty. He raised his hand slightly, and his posture revealed the calmness of being in control of the overall situation.
"Yes, I will obey your majesty's order and will live up to your majesty's expectations." Gu Aiqing bowed and spoke sincerely, with determination and loyalty flashing in his eyes.
The next day, in the court, the imperial edict was issued, like a huge rock thrown into a lake, causing ripples. The ministers looked at each other in shock, but no one dared to question it.
The news spread quickly, and Princess Xuanhua was extremely anxious when she heard the news. She hurried into the palace and headed straight for Shoukang Palace. Along the way, the autumn wind blew gently, and the fallen leaves flew everywhere, which seemed to be tinged with a bit of urgency and anxiety.
In Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother was sitting on a phoenix chair, playing with a string of prayer beads in her hands, her face solemn. Seeing Yu Ma hurriedly reporting, she couldn't help but frowned deeply, and her voice was filled with disbelief: "What did you say? Your Majesty... is going to send the prince consort to fight against the Rong people?"
Nanny Yu lowered her head, her brows full of worry, and said softly, "It is absolutely true, Madam."
Upon hearing this, the rosary in the Queen Mother's hand suddenly paused, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in her heart, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly make such a decision..."
Just as the atmosphere in the palace was extremely solemn, Princess Xuanhua's anxious voice came from outside the door. With the sound of hurried footsteps, she almost trotted into the palace, her breath was still uncertain, and her forehead was covered with sweat, which made her even more anxious. "Mother, mother... Why did my brother send the prince consort to the southern border to suppress the Rong people?" There was a bit of questioning and helplessness in her voice.
The Queen Mother looked at Princess Xuanhua with a flash of heartache in her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, Nanny Yu stepped forward quickly to comfort the princess. But Princess Xuanhua was so anxious at the moment that she didn't care about these things. She pushed Nanny Yu's hand away and ran straight to the Queen Mother, with a bit of urgency and resentment in her tone: "Mother, what is going on? Why did my brother put the prince consort in danger?"
The Queen Mother gazed at her daughter's face, which was slightly distorted by anxiety, with a gentle and complicated look. Her heart seemed to be surging with mixed emotions, and it was difficult to calm down. She sighed softly, and the sound was mixed with helplessness about the impermanence of the world and deep love for her daughter.
Facing Princess Xuanhua's hasty and almost interrogative words, the Queen Mother's face flashed with a little impermanence, but more of it was a deep worry and heartache. She spoke in a deep voice, with both the majesty of a mother and a hint of tenderness: "Xuanhua, you are a princess, but you barged into my mother's bedroom today, and your words were completely devoid of proper etiquette. Has my mother ever taught you this in the past?" While speaking, the Queen Mother's eyes revealed a bit of reproach, but more of it was worry about her daughter's uncertain character.
The Empress Dowager was already upset by the trivial matters in the court, and Princess Xuanhua's words, which lacked warmth and respect, made her mood even worse. She couldn't help but frowned slightly.
At this time, Nanny Yu saw this and hurried forward a few steps. Her voice was like the warm sunshine in spring, and she said gently: "Princess, please calm down. Your Majesty has indeed not discussed this matter with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother knows nothing about it and is extremely anxious."
Princess Xuanhua was awakened from a dream when she heard this. She realized her disrespect for her mother and her shamelessness. Her cheeks flushed with guilt. She knelt down on the ground and said with a trembling and sincere voice: "I was in a hurry and said something rude. I offended you. It was really disrespectful. Please forgive me this time."
The Queen Mother looked at her daughter kneeling on the ground. Her apologetic eyes instantly dissipated most of the anger in her heart. She slowly stood up, her steps carrying a kind of majesty that could not be ignored, but also a mother's tenderness. She walked to Princess Xuanhua, bent down and helped her up, and her hands, which were full of traces of time, gently patted the back of Princess Xuanhua's hands, and her tone was gentle and loving: "Okay, how could the Queen Mother really be angry with you."
The Queen Mother said slowly, "Your brother must have his own unspeakable considerations for this move. The Rong tribe is ready to make a move, and the border is in flames. There are only a handful of people in the court who can take on important tasks. Your Majesty is a pillar of our country, and he has been given this important task. It is really a recognition of his ability and loyalty by Your Majesty, and it is also a great favor from the Emperor."
Upon hearing this, Princess Xuanhua frowned, tears sparkled in her eyes, like autumn water that was about to fall. She bit her lower lip lightly, her voice choked with sobs: "Your Majesty mother, you are absolutely right. How could I not know the righteousness of my country and my family. It's just... when I think of the battlefield, where swords and guns are blind and life and death are unpredictable, how can I, as the wife of the prince consort, not be worried? The children are still young. If they lose their father's protection, how difficult their future will be..." After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but let her tears fall. They dripped onto her clothes and turned into spots.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother's expression softened a bit, but she still maintained her unquestionable majesty: "Xuanhua, as a child of the royal family, you have known since childhood that things in the world are unpredictable, and you should also understand your responsibilities. As a military commander, the prince consort wears armor and defends the country. This is his supreme honor and mission."
At this point, the Queen Mother paused for a moment, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes. "I know you are worried, but your brother knows his limits and will take you and the children's feelings into consideration. As for the Prince Consort, he is a brave man and will surely return victorious and reunite your family."
