Qing Yan

"You, kneel down to Aijia!"

Jing Yan stared at the face in front of him, which was three points similar to himself, but obviously aged, and a sense of desolation flashed through his heart.

Since she was already mentally prepared, the empress dowager's anger and questioning had long been expected. She asked her to kneel, and she knelt.

The Empress Dowager stared at her kneeling knees and still straight back, the anger in her heart grew instead: How familiar is this scene? After 13 years, is history repeating itself?

Thinking of all the past years, she felt mixed emotions, pain and hatred welling up in her head.These years, she retired to the Shoukang Palace, ignoring political affairs, and only occasionally seeing veterans or clan relatives, reminiscing about the old days, and killing the endless days.She asked herself that everything in the past was bearish, and at a certain moment, she suddenly felt a sense of alienation, as if she hadn't experienced everything in person.I thought I had taken it lightly and lightly, but when a similar scene reappeared, the former Empress Dowager Duan was still... unbearable.

"Mother!" Jing Yan rubbed his knees a few steps forward, supporting the crumbling body of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager felt dizzy for a while, if it wasn't for Jing Yan and Yu Jue who quickly supported her, she might have fallen to the ground.She suddenly woke up, lowered her head slightly, surprised that Jing Yan's hand was supporting her, and furiously said, "Let go!"

Jing Yan shook his hand, subconsciously withdrew his hands, and bowed his head in silence.

The Empress Dowager was supported by Yu Jue and sat on the chair nearby, she waved her hand and ordered Yu Jue to back down.

Yu Jue was worried, and said, "Master, your phoenix body..."

"Aijia is not old yet!" The Empress Dowager interrupted her sharply.

Yujue shivered, although he was worried about her, he didn't dare to disobey, so he bowed and retreated, guarding outside the hall, listening carefully to the movements inside, lest the Empress Dowager might feel unwell.

Outside the hall, Shi Mo secretly looked at Yu Jue, his heart was full of anger, but he dared not speak out.The Empress Dowager obviously came prepared, but she lived in seclusion, so how could she know what was going on outside?It must be the eyes and ears!

She gritted her teeth secretly, hating and worrying about the queen mother's safety, she couldn't predict how the empress dowager would treat her.Now, only His Majesty can be counted on in this palace——

Shi Mo was extremely anxious.Bingbi has been there for a long time, why has there been no reply?

At this moment, she is not the only one who is extremely anxious?

Outside Chongyang Palace, Bingbi was pacing up and down in a hurry.The two servants standing on duty couldn't help looking at her, but none of them dared to let her enter the hall.

How dare they provoke the aunt who the queen mother serves personally?But even so, they didn't dare to agree to this aunt's request.

As soon as the emperor came down from court, he summoned several important ministers to discuss the state affairs in the Chongyang Palace. Those were all important military and state affairs, and people who had nothing to do with it would lose their heads if they listened to one more word.What's more, the emperor seems to be very irritable recently, even Shen Quanshen, the chief executive, was reprimanded just now for being a little late in serving tea.They dare not touch that mold!Allowing the Empress Dowager's maid to mill around outside the Chongyang Palace, they already feel that they have taken a lot of responsibility.

"You two little brothers! I beg you to be more accommodating. There is really a serious matter that I have to report to His Majesty!" Bingbi couldn't help but begged again.

The two of them were just about to ask her not to embarrass themselves, when the door of the palace opened, Shen Quan came out with a tea tray.

As if seeing a savior, Bing Bi stepped forward and grabbed Shen Quan, "Quick! Go and tell His Majesty!"

Shen Quan was also surprised: "Aunt Bingbi? You..."

Bingbi didn't have time to greet him, so he pushed him back to the palace and whispered in his ear: "Go and report to Your Majesty! The Empress Dowager suddenly went to Kuntai Palace to embarrass the Empress Dowager!"

Shen Quan was stunned, knowing that this matter was no small matter, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly returned to the hall without touching the ground.

"What a good embroiderer..." The Empress Dowager picked up a plain purse beside the table, with a cluster of clear and elegant sweet-scented osmanthus embedded in it.

"Mr. Jing! You are guilty!" She suddenly buckled her purse on the table and shouted sharply.

Jing Yan heard that, even though he was kneeling, his back was straighter, like a plum blossom in the ice and snow, with awe-inspiring character.

"If the queen mother says she's guilty, she's guilty." She was neither humble nor overbearing.

The Empress Dowager seemed to be choking on her, took a deep breath, and smiled angrily: "Has the Ai family wronged you?"

Jing Yan said solemnly: "My child dare not! The queen mother is the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the child's mother-in-law, and also the child's aunt. The elders are respected, and the child dare not forget."

"Heh!" The Empress Dowager sneered, "What a 'elder is respected'! In the end, you are still complaining about wronging you!"

Jing Yan remained silent.

The Empress Dowager was even angrier and pointed at her angrily: "Do you still remember that Aijia is your mother-in-law! What do you think of me as Zheer!"

When Jing Yan heard Yu Wenzhe mentioned by the other party, he was moved, and choked up: "Zhe'er, the mother's queen, is naturally the husband of the child..."

"Ha! Husband!" The Empress Dowager gritted her teeth and said, "Zhe'er, the mourning family, is a woman! A woman!"

Jing Yan's eyes were flushed, "Yes! She is a woman, but she is the one my child loves so much!"

"Nonsense!" The Empress Dowager interrupted her panting anxiously, "The one you love so much? What do you say about the one you love so much to the Ai family now? Back then, how did you answer the Ai family!"

Jing Yan froze.

The Empress Dowager shouted to herself: "You are pretending to be confused with the Ai family! Back then... you were kneeling in front of the Ai family like this. When the Ai family asked you if you were guilty, you also told the Ai family, 'If the queen mother says you are guilty, you are guilty. '! Aijia asked you what your relationship with Zhe'er was, and you kept silent with Aijia! You pretended to be confused with Aijia! Do you really think Aijia is confused! Aijia was not so stupid back then, and he is not so old now! "

Jing Yan always lowered her head slightly, not speaking, let alone distinguishing, only the clusters of water droplets that were smashed on the gold bricks in the hall revealed her feelings at the moment.

"Aijia is not confused! Aijia can clearly see your tricks back then! You pushed everything to Zhe'er, didn't say anything, and didn't bear anything... You were pushing behind the scenes, but let Zhe'er come forward to beg for mercy My family married you in! Poor Aijia’s Zhe’er! I was deceived by you, a vixen! In order to marry you, I did not hesitate to throw face and speak harshly at Aijia! Aijia worked hard to raise her to grow up, and exhausted She worked so hard to help her ascend to the position of honor, but she actually... actually treats Aijia like that for you!"

As the empress dowager spoke, she couldn't help but think of all the disputes Yu Wenzhe had with her back then, and also think of the white-haired man giving away the black-haired man, the only daughter who is already separated by yin and yang, and she couldn't help crying.

Jing Yan's heart ached like a knife.Not only because the empress dowager mentioned the first emperor, but also because the other party denounced himself as a "humeizi"!Since she was a child, she has always been known for being knowledgeable, dignified and elegant. Now, her aunt actually said that about her!

However, she couldn't refute it, just like when she faced the questioning of the person in front of her 13 years ago, she could only choose to remain silent——

She never thought that Yu Wenzhe should bear the full responsibility of the two people's love and staying together. She loves Zhe, and she only wishes Zhe to be good, and naturally she doesn't want Zhe to have a quarrel with her biological mother.At that time, she thought, Zhe and her aunt are mother and daughter, what can't be explained or solved between mother and daughter?Therefore, she chose to remain silent, and she did not want to embarrass Zhe because she had a dispute with her aunt.

However, in the eyes of my aunt, this kind of thinking is like secretly pushing Zhe to push everything to Zhe!

aunt!Ah!Is she really a sister of the same mother as her own mother?

The empress dowager had a fiery temper when she was young, which was completely different from her sister's gentle and gentle temperament.She hated Jing Yan's silence, thought of her daughter under the nine springs, and recalled all the grievances and resentments between her sister and her sister when she was young, all of which were intertwined in one place, instantly piling up a volcanic eruption of anger——

"Okay! It's been 13 years, and you're playing with Aijia again!" Tears were still on her cheeks, but the words she spoke were as sharp as a knife, "This time, who are you going to plot against again!"

Jing Yan was angry and in pain. He gritted his teeth and supported his body so that he would not tremble because of helplessness, crying and pain.

Since today's incident happened, she knew that she would not be able to escape completely.That being the case, let it go!

It would be best if the Empress Dowager gave herself to death.From then on, I no longer have to suffer from that double torment.

"Don't speak up? The Ai family will tell you for you! What's the matter with the observatory? What's the matter with the emperor Qingqing?" The empress dowager became more and more aggressive, "Are you blind when the Ai family! I don't know when the Ai family Are you on your mind? The emperor and Zhe'er look alike, have you moved your mind? Zhe'er has been gone for ten years, can't you bear it?"

Jing Yan raised his head in astonishment, with tears in his eyes, it was almost hard to believe that such words came from the mouth of the most honorable woman in Da Zhou.

She was thinking about Yu Wenrui, but she was not that bad!

Seeing her reaction, the Empress Dowager said coldly: "It's a pity that the Ai family only treats you as raising the emperor, and the name is sister-in-law, which is actually better than the love between mother and daughter. The Ai family is relieved of your affection for Zhe'er. You go to take care of and get close to the emperor, who would have thought... Who would have thought that you would be raising tigers to cause trouble!"

When Jing Yan heard this, no matter how hard he was to control his emotions, large groups of tears fell silently, and his delicate body trembled into a ball.Even so, she gritted her teeth, not letting herself make even the slightest sound, like a silent resistance.

The empress dowager became more and more excited, pointed at her, and said: "Zhe'er has been away for ten years, if you are interested in others, Aijia may turn a blind eye and bear it. But you shouldn't! You shouldn't." I'm tempted by Ah Rui from Aijia! Did Yuwen owe you in his previous life, or did he owe you the Jing family?"

Panting anxiously, she continued: "It's a big mistake for you to be tempted by Ah Rui, but you still want to slander the reputation of Aijia's Zhe'er! She has already gone! She was once your pillow! You ask yourself, Don't you feel guilty?"

When Jing Yan heard the words, he forgot his sadness, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why did the queen mother say that?"

The Empress Dowager stared at her closely, with a dangerous gleam in her eyes, and said word by word: "Are you pretending to be confused with Ai's family again? What happened when the emperor went to Monan? What happened to the child who lived in Zhilanxuan?" What's going on?"

Jing Yan froze, and couldn't help arguing: "That child is the daughter of Yu Wenda, the former Yi Wang, and Princess Chang of Monan..."

"But there are rumors between the government and the opposition that it is Zhe'er's blood left in Monan!"

Jing Yan was stunned.

The Empress Dowager said angrily: "Don't tell the Ai family that you don't know! Without the order from the palace, the Ai family doesn't believe it, who would dare to spread such news! Without your idea, the Ai family doesn't believe it, the emperor would do this!"

Jing Yan was shocked.

How could she give the emperor such an idea?This is simply damaging Zhe's reputation!

Who exactly is...

Her mind was in turmoil for a moment, and she only heard the Empress Dowager mournfully say: "My Zhe'er, when she was alive, she was confused by you. Now that she is gone, you will not let her live in peace! Even with Aijia, you will also humiliate her." The seed left by the son of that lowly servant girl, a pot of dirty water was poured on my Zhe'er's head! Mrs. Jing! Why are you at ease!"

The more she spoke, the angrier she became, "The Ai family can't wait... wish..."

In an instant, the blood hit the forehead, and the hostility could not be suppressed. The Empress Dowager raised her palm and slapped it on Jing Yan's cheek——

There was no harsh sound as expected, nor expected pain, only a muffled sound that shook the ears of the two of them.

The Empress Dowager was stunned, and she realized that her palm had touched a certain piece of clothing, which came from the person in front of her.

She shook her head and realized that it was Yu Wenrui standing between herself and Jing Yan.
