Rebirth of the Faint Lord

The queen mother's words were almost blatantly forcing Fu Hua to admit her marriage with Lin En.

Fu Hua knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to the queen mother, she hoarsely called out: "Mother queen."

The queen mother said softly: "The marriage between you and Lin En was agreed by me and the Lin family a long time ago. This marriage is not only to appease the Lin family, but also to strengthen the relationship and consolidate the emperor's throne. As the elder Princess, even if it is to appease the small countries around the four borders to make peace, it is your responsibility."

"Lin En saved the emperor, lost his looks, lost his future, and could only live with a mask for the rest of his life. Every time the queen mother thought of this, she felt very guilty. You know how your uncle and aunt treat you. Married into the Lin family, They will naturally treat you well, and I don't have to worry about you too much in the future."

Fuhua looked at the queen mother and bit her lips. Today she was slapped by the queen mother because the queen mother repeatedly hinted that she would go out of the palace to go to Lin's house and walk around more. When she was cultivating feelings with Lin En, she became impetuous and said what was in her heart come out.

She didn't want to go to the Lin family, and she didn't want to marry Lynn.

The Empress Dowager looked at her in surprise at that time, Fuhua knew that the Empress Dowager loved her so much, so he spoke out all the thoughts in his heart.She had no other feelings for Lynn than brother and sister, so it was weird to force them together.

After Fuhua finished speaking, he took the Queen Mother's arm and said coquettishly: "Mother, my daughter knows that you love Cousin Lin En, but my daughter really only treats him as an older brother."

Wen Wan was there at that time, and when the queen mother hinted that Fuhua should go to the Lin family, she still looked at Fuhua with a playful look.

However, Wen Wan is more good at reading people's faces. When Fu Hua finished speaking, she saw that the Empress Dowager's expression was different, and there seemed to be anger in her eyes, so she stepped forward and said softly: "Mother, the princess is still young, the child Temperament, the concubine is here again, she is shy, don't take her words to heart."

The queen mother sneered at the time and said: "I don't think she is shy, but she doesn't like Lin En at all. Like others, she is afraid of being frightened by the face under his mask." They dared not speak in front of his face, and discussed in private, saying that under his silver face, there was a face full of burn marks.

Lin En, who took off the mask, would definitely scare people into the urine. If anyone married him and saw such a person lying beside him in the middle of the night, he would probably be scared out of his wits.

Especially during Emperor Jing's reign, Lin En received a lot of stares because of these things, no one wanted to get in touch with him, and the children of those aristocratic families laughed at him.Therefore, Lin En has never even been to a formal college, and can only read and write at home.

Of course, after Qi Junmu ascended the throne, the Lin family became heroes, and Lin En became the object of everyone's fawning. Those mocking eyes from childhood seemed to have disappeared.

But even so, so what, Lin En still ruined his face, and could only live with a mask.

Fuhua felt that something was wrong at that time, and she was a little surprised.

She has been favored since she was a child, and she was held in the palm of the Queen Mother's hand. Emperor Jing was more patient with her than others.For a long time, Fu Hua dared to say what others dared not say in front of the Queen Mother, and Fu Hua could do what others could not do.

If this happened to ordinary people, it might have been lost by now.Fuhua was taught very well by the queen mother, and he has a steady temper, and never bullied others because of his status.

As a princess, she is a bit arrogant, but her character is also considered gentle.

In Fuhua's heart, he is the queen mother's treasure.Now the Empress Dowager pays more attention to Lin En than she does, which makes Fuhua feel a little uncomfortable.

Hearing the queen mother's words, she hurriedly stepped forward and took the queen mother's arm and said coquettishly: "My mother, cousin Lin En wears a mask every time he enters the palace, and my daughter has never even seen his face. How could she despise him? Woolen cloth."

After she finished speaking, she smiled and said half-truthfully: "Daughter asked cousin Lin En to take off the mask before, but he didn't want to..."

With these words, the Empress Dowager suddenly stood up and slapped Fuhua across the face.

The queen mother was very angry at that time. She pointed at Fuhua with trembling fingers. Her expression was ugly and her tone was severe: "Why did Lin En wear a mask to enter the palace? Don't you know? He is for the emperor, you let him take it off What does the mask want to do? Scream in fear, or want to see his jokes? Are you going to break my heart and your uncle's heart?"

The queen mother was probably really angry, and she felt a little out of breath with her chest panting.

She looked at the shocked Fuhua, who was slumped on the chaise longue, and then ordered Fuhua to kneel outside the door.The queen mother also said that the palace servants around Fuhua had taught her badly, and ordered them to be sentenced to twenty sticks.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Wen Wan let Jiaoyue go and asked her to invite Qi Junmu to come by taking the time to persuade Fuhua.

Thinking of the scene at that time, Fu Hua still thinks it was a dream.

It was just the burning pain on her face that made her understand that this was not a dream.

The queen mother's weary voice sounded again, and she said: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

Fuhua came back to his senses, and looked at the emperor.

Qi Junmu said calmly: "Sister is my biological sister, so I am naturally on her side. Lin En is my cousin, my savior, and the Lin family is my natal family, and I also want to Give Cousin Lin En a face. If the Queen Mother really wants Lin En to be her son-in-law, there will still be Yueqing in the palace..."

"As I said last time, Yueqing can't do it." The Queen Mother said coldly, and Qi Junmu and Fu Hua looked at her.The queen mother closed her eyes and said softly, "Lin En doesn't like Yueqing, he likes Fuhua."

Fuhua was silent, with a sad face.

Qi Junmu sneered abruptly, and then he said calmly: "In my mother's heart, Cousin Lin En's thoughts are the most important, comparable to my own daughter."

The Empress Dowager frowned and said, "That's because..."

"That's because cousin Lin En saved me, and it's because of my cousin Lin En that he became what he is today." Qi Junmu's tone became more and more calm, which made the Queen Mother and Fuhua shudder .

Qi Junmu slightly raised his eyes to look at the queen mother, he said calmly: "Since this is the case, the injustice has a head and a debt, and it has nothing to do with sister Lin En's saving someone. Lin En saved me, It's also because I've ruined my appearance and can't see people. If the empress mother feels sorry, why don't you let me give up the throne to Cousin Lin En in return for saving my life back then."

"Your majesty, don't talk nonsense." Fuhua straightened up, she didn't care that Qi Junmu was the emperor, so a cold voice came out of her mouth.

"What are you talking about? Are you trying to piss me off?" The queen mother didn't expect Qi Junmu to say such a thing. She stood up abruptly, her eyes turned red instantly, and she was so angry that she trembling.

Ruan Jiqing, who was beside Qi Junmu, thumped and knelt on the ground. He lowered his head and shrank his body, not daring to make a sound.Fortunately, he was the only servant in the hall because of the princess's private affairs.

Ruan Jiqing couldn't help being a little worried that the emperor's willful words could not be spread, whether Prime Minister Zuo misunderstood Qi Junmu's intention to kill the Lin family when he heard this.

After all, since ancient times, how could any emperor say that he would give up the throne to an outsider.If this word gets out, Lynn will still be alive.

The queen mother closed her eyes, tears streaming down her fair cheeks, she didn't care about it, but said with a disappointed face: "Is it because your uncle and I helped you to the throne today that you said something like this?" Is it right? You are the emperor, if you want the lives of everyone in the Lin family, you can directly order them to be taken."

Qi Junmu didn't say anything, just sat there quietly.

This was originally what was in his heart. In his previous life, he held it back until he died without saying it. In this life, he finally found the most suitable opportunity to say it.

Qi Junmu was really calm. He really didn't feel the sadness, disappointment, and pain on the Queen Mother's face, and even a faint sense of pleasure rose from the bottom of his heart.

The Empress Dowager murmured in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you are stabbing a knife in my heart." With a slumped expression, she sat on the chaise longue in a daze, feeling extremely exhausted.

Fu Hua stayed there at a loss, she looked at the emperor and then at the empress dowager, her face was a little uneasy and dazed, she didn't understand why things happened like this.

Qi Junmu stood up slowly, he looked at Fuhua and said softly: "The queen mother is not in a good mood, sister and I go back to the palace first, let the queen be quiet alone." Fuhua looked at the emperor tightly clenched together with blue veins With her bare hands, knowing that his heart was not very peaceful, she slowly stood up and said hoarsely to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, my daughter will leave first."

The queen mother did not say a word, and the two siblings walked out of the hall.

The sunshine outside the hall is just right, and the good ones are a bit dazzling.

Qi Junmu and Fu Hua walked slowly and did not sit in the sedan chair, Ruan Jiqing led the palace people far behind, and now he did not dare to join the emperor at all.

Fuhua felt that the journey back to the palace was very long today, she just wanted to sleep well, and when she woke up, she was still the emperor's elder sister, the girl held in the palm of the empress dowager, the eldest princess that everyone in the palace envied.

Just hope it's a dream.

"Sister, what are you thinking?" Suddenly, Fu Hua heard the voice of the emperor.

She recovered and looked at the emperor with complicated emotions in her eyes. She said, "What is the emperor thinking?" To the queen mother, Fuhua and Qi Junmu have two completely different feelings. It is not surprising that the queen mother treats them The attitude itself is also different.

In her previous life, the gap between the empress dowager and the emperor was getting bigger and bigger. At first she wanted to reconcile it, but in the end she didn't say anything to comfort anyone. She could only stand at a distance and watch the empress dowager and the emperor's mother and son go further and further away.

In her heart, the Queen Mother is the mother who dotes on her, and Qi Junmu is the younger brother who protects her.Honoring the Queen Mother is what she should do, it is her responsibility, and maintaining the dignity of the emperor is what she wants to do.

She did not stand with the queen mother, nor did she harm the emperor, and sometimes she even felt that she was particularly incompetent.

Thinking of the past, Qi Junmu smiled, neither happy nor sad, nor did he have much expectation.

He responded to Fu Hua's question, calmly: "I was just thinking, sister didn't dislike Cousin Lin En's marriage before, why is she suddenly unwilling now?"

Fuhua didn't say a word, she didn't understand, she just suddenly felt that Lin En was not the person she wanted to marry.

She also sympathized with Lin En's experience, and respected this person in her heart, and knew that marrying him had many benefits, and she would definitely be protected by her uncle's family, but she just felt that this person was wrong.

Seeing Fuhua's silent expression, Qi Junmu said: "Sister, do you have someone else in your heart?"

Fu Hua stopped abruptly, she was stunned for a moment, then she shook her head and said: "It's nothing."

Qi Junmu glanced at her, and didn't ask too much on this question.

He said with a sad tone: "At the mother's place just now, what I said was a bit too much. When my sister greets the mother in the future, please help me to save a few words."

Fu Hua smiled wryly and said: "The queen mother is so angry this time, she still doesn't know if she would like to see me."

Qi Junmu said: "There is no overnight hatred between mother and daughter, I will send you back to the palace."

Fu Hua did not refuse, and when the emperor left in the sedan chair, she walked slowly back to her residence accompanied by the palace servants.

Not long after the emperor returned to Qianhua Palace, he heard the news that the queen mother had heart palpitations, followed by the news that the queen mother asked Wen Wan, Fuhua and Yueqing to copy Buddhist scriptures.

The Queen Mother said that her heart palpitations were very severe, and she could only calm down by reading those Buddhist scriptures written with filial piety.

Among them, Wen Wan copied the most, requiring ten copies, followed by Fuhua, and Yueqing the least.They all understood that the empress dowager needed to vent her anger, and Wen Wan secretly sent someone to find the emperor. In the end, the emperor and the empress dowager almost fell out, and the empress dowager's anger would naturally be directed at Wen Wan.

Yue Qing was purely implicated. Putting her name together with Lin En was a mistake in the eyes of the Queen Mother.

Qi Junmu knew that the queen mother was venting her anger, but he didn't express too much.Everyone has to think about the consequences before doing something. He lost his life because of this in his previous life.

At this time, Qi Junmu's mind is completely on the Lin family. The queen mother trusts the Lin family the most. The queen mother will definitely tell Lin Xiao about what happened today. The emperor is wondering whether Lin Xiao will have a estrangement from him because of this.

This was something that had never happened in his previous life, and he wondered if Lin Xiao's attitude would change.After all, Lin Xiao is his uncle, the head of the Lin family, and Lin En's father.

Thinking of this, Qi Junmu closed his eyes, thinking about these things silently in his heart.

When Shen Nian went to Qianhua Hall, he saw Ruan Jiqing walking back and forth at the entrance of the hall, with obvious anxiety and irritability on his face.

When he saw Shen Nian, Ruan Jiqing's eyes lit up, and he walked quickly to Shen Nian with a flattering smile on his face: "Master Hou, you are here."

Shen Nian frowned, looked him up and down, and asked in a suspicious tone: "Eunuch Ruan, what's wrong? Did you encounter any happy things?"

"Hey, my Lord Hou, you are the happiest thing for me to meet you." Ruan Jiqing continued flatteringly, he raised his chin and signaled to the hall and sighed softly: "The one inside He is not happy, he is not happy, can others be happy?"

Shen Nian's heart tightened slightly. Speaking of which, he had never seen Ruan Jiqing with such an expression, and Qi Junmu's mood must be extremely bad.

He also followed in a low voice: "What's the matter?" After finishing speaking, he suddenly realized: "Is it because the queen mother is ill, the emperor misses you, and is in a bad mood?" It's not good to turn against the queen mother, so I can only sulk alone?

The Empress Dowager invited an imperial doctor, this is a major event, everyone in the palace was watching, Shen Nian naturally heard of it.

However, the news that the emperor and Fuhua came out of the queen mother's palace did not spread, so he only knew that the queen mother was ill, and he didn't know anything more.

"Your Majesty, don't ask me any more." Ruan Jiqing frowned and said, "Your servant's words are not pleasant to listen to, and they can't speak to the emperor's heart, nor can he solve the annoyance in the emperor's heart. The emperor usually values ​​Hou Ye the most, you In a while, I will properly enlighten the emperor."

Shen Nian looked at Ruan Jiqing's distressed appearance, and thought to himself, it seems that it has nothing to do with the Queen Mother, nor does it have anything to do with the Queen.

He was a little worried. In his eyes, the emperor was an extremely strong person. Now that even Ruan Jiqing could see that he was in a bad mood, the matter must be a little serious.

Thinking of this, he said: "Then please Eunuch Ruan to report to me."

Ruan Jiqing said: "Okay, Lord Hou wait a moment."

He reminded Shen Nian that he really wanted Shen Nian to comfort the emperor.

He knows Qi Junmu best, he is stubborn, and he can't listen to what ordinary people say.

Especially today in Renshou Palace, when the emperor calmly uttered such scandalous words, probably only Shen Nian could bear it.

Not long after Ruan Jiqing reported, he smiled at Shen Nian and said, "Master Hou, please."

Shen Nian nodded to him and said, "Thank you."

When Shen Nian walked into the hall step by step, the emperor sat on the imperial chair and looked at him.

Shen Nian saluted, Qi Junmu said calmly: "Pingshen, what happened to the matter I asked Shen Qing to investigate?"

Shen Nian did not answer this question, but instead asked: "Is the emperor in a bad mood?"

"How can you tell that I'm in a bad mood?" Qi Junmu said with a smile on his face, "I'm in a very good mood. I've never been in such a good mood."

Shen Nian fixed a glance at the emperor, and was sure in his heart that the emperor was really in a bad mood.

Since he approached the palace, the emperor's face looked the same as before, calm and calm, but his eyes were dark and bright and frightening.

But since the emperor can say such a thing, he should be able to control his mood.

Thinking of this, Shen Nian relaxed. He was half serious and half joking: "This minister thinks that your majesty's complexion is not very good-looking, that's why I said that. The emperor asked me to investigate the matter, and I lived up to my expectations. It's been found out."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, waiting for the result.

Shen Nian took two steps forward, ready to respond at close range.

It's just that he was getting closer to the emperor, and the faint smell of blood wafted into his nostrils.

Soldiers are a very strange kind of people. No matter how much blood they see on the battlefield, they can't smell anything.But as long as they leave the battlefield, the slight smell of blood can make them feel extremely uncomfortable.

Shen Nian looked up at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, are you injured?" When he said this, his eyes were very sharp, like a knife, wanting to pry open the shell wrapped around the person in front of him, to see what was hidden inside. The softest thing in the deepest part.

Qi Junmu was stunned by his eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, as if he was offended but not unhappy.

Then he reacted and said, "No injury."

Seeing Shen Nian's expression of disbelief, the emperor raised his hands helplessly and said, "It's just that the skin is scratched, it's fine. Your nose is very sensitive, even a little bloody smell..."

Before Qi Junmu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Nian's movements.

I saw the person who was two steps away from him quickly walked up to him, took his hands and looked at him carefully.

As the emperor said, it was just a matter of breaking the skin.

At that time in the Empress Dowager's palace, he clasped his hands tightly while saying those pleasant words, his nails were firmly embedded in the palms of his hands, leaving a little blood and small wounds.

The emperor himself didn't pay much attention to it, but Shen Nian looked at it very carefully and seriously.
