Confused the world

On the second day after the post-sealing ceremony, Mu Qingcheng went to the Leng Palace.She talked with Ouyang Qingxue for more than an hour, and no one knew what they talked about?When he came back, Mu Qingcheng had a satisfied smile on his face, as if he was very happy.

In the evening, the harem caught fire, and the former queen died in the sea of ​​flames.The palace people tried their best to rescue them, but in the end there were only two female corpses that had been burnt beyond recognition, and one of them was wearing a jade bracelet that belonged to the former queen.The former empress ended all life in the palace.

The final investigation result of this fire was that a certain palace official was dissatisfied with the former queen, and had intentionally framed and created a witchcraft incident before.The queen was thrown into the cold palace, and she didn't give up, and set fire to kill people in the middle of the night, but the fire was too big, and she herself was not spared, and was buried in the sea of ​​flames.

His Majesty was buried with the etiquette of a queen and entered the imperial mausoleum, posthumously named Empress Xiaoren, Dignified and Jingwan.This is the case for the royal family, but it is different for the courtiers and the people.

Everyone had little to say about the new queen. On the day the previous queen passed away, she went to see her and had a long secret conversation. A fire broke out that night.

On the day of the canonization pawn, the imperial examination system was revised, and he had to attend the court with His Majesty.Everyone doesn't know how much His Majesty loves this queen. Judging from these behaviors, the strange death of the former queen is absolutely inseparable from her.

The folks are just talking about it after dinner. Some dissatisfied will leave with a lot of complaints, and some feel that it has nothing to do with them.

The former queen passed away, and the country mourned for three days, and all businesses in the imperial capital were not allowed to operate.Funerals are not allowed for three days, and happy events are not allowed for half a month.Although everyone did not know the former queen, they had heard of her virtues.On the day of the national funeral, they also went to the streets of the imperial capital to see her off.

The former queen passed away, the Ouyang family needs to be rewarded first.Many people were either promoted or rewarded with gold and jewelry to show their care for the former queen's family.

Mu Qingcheng never thought about what other people said about her.She is content with what she does.The Minister of National Mourning has nothing important to do and does not need to go to court.Because of Ouyang Qingxue's death, the queen mother was stimulated and became seriously ill.

Because of the Queen Mother's serious illness, the atmosphere in Yongle Palace is more serious than before.No one dared to mention Ouyang Qingxue, and no one would try to persuade her to take good care of her illness. Talking about it would only cause more pain.

Mu Qingcheng looked at Liu Yihan, who was lying pale on the bed, with distressed expression on his face.Tucking the brocade quilt inward, she said with concern: "Queen Mother, please eat some food properly, she will feel bad if you do this. This harem needs you, and His Majesty also needs you."

"Go back and rest, you are not in good health, so don't serve Ai's family here."

Liu Yihan's pale cheeks did not show much expression.When he said these words, it was very mechanical, as if he was dealing with it, but also as if he was dismissing people at will.

"Is the queen mother hating the son? The mother also thinks that the elder sister's death is the son's fault?"

Mu Qingcheng asked very casually, with her black eyes lowered, she squinted at Liu Yihan's pale face from the corner of her eye.

"What does Cheng'er think?"

"Queen Mother, Erchen is only protecting someone for himself, and that person is the same. Before Erchen did this, he had discussed with her. She chose to end herself with such a fate after careful consideration. She is a smart person Isn't it?"

Mu Qingcheng's pale cherry lips opened and closed, as if talking about a very great person.There is great hope in my heart.

"Is it her own choice? Cheng'er, does she have any agreement with you?"

Liu Yihan would not simply believe in all of this, it was just her willingness to pay, and there must be other reasons for this.She's not one to do such stupid things lightly.

"My sister said that she wants to be with the person she loves, so this method is the only way to get rid of this embarrassing situation. Does the mother also want to be with the person she loves? If the mother also thinks that way, then it should be more Take good care of yourself, maybe God will take care of her and let her walk with the one she loves."

Mu Qingcheng's dark eyes stared at Liu Yihan's probing eyes, and he spoke in a soft tone, with a gentleness that could melt the most vulnerable deep in one's heart.

Liu Yihan was stunned for a moment, then carefully pondered the meaning of her words.As if he had found hope all of a sudden, his expression softened a lot.

"Mother, take a good rest. The national funeral is over and it's Chunwei, and I'm afraid there will be a lot of things to do when I lead the women's scientific examination. In June, I will marry Hao'er. After discussing with your majesty, I will choose Wei Shangshu's young lady." Daughter. She is a smart girl, and she will be helpful to Hao'er in the future. Maybe she will participate in this spring, and the queen mother can help Hao'er to see how this girl is? Where should the younger sister of the concubine be?"

Seeing that Liu Yihan's complexion improved a lot, Mu Qingcheng babbled a lot.Liu Yihan also listened quietly, without any rebuttal.There was always a faint smile on his pale face, very gentle.

"Thank you for your hard work. The Ai family will take good care of themselves. Please worry about Hao'er's affairs. Hao'er has always respected you. He shouldn't have any objections to the person you choose for him."

Liu Yihan looked at this skinny and almost skinny person, who looked so weak, but possessed the wisdom of a saint.Smart, open-minded, and able to take care of the overall situation.With her in the Huangfu dynasty, maybe it will be different, at least it can change the pattern of the dynasty.

"That's the person who will live with Hao'er for the rest of his life. He needs to like it. Empress, after Hao'er's wedding, some things may happen. At that time, the empress should take good care of herself. This year is an unstable year, who can Knowing something big is going to happen. Maybe this day is about to change?"

Mu Qingcheng slowly raised her head, looking at the carved dragon and painted pillars.There is confusion in the dark eyes, but also more depth.

She always had a premonition that something seemed to be ahead of schedule.She couldn't figure it out, and she couldn't figure out what these strange things meant.

"Okay, thank you Cheng'er and Your Majesty. The Ai family will take good care of themselves, don't worry."

"Well, the minister will go back first, so that the mother can rest, and His Majesty may come over later. The minister will retreat first."

Mu Qingcheng got up and bowed to Liu Yihan to salute, then turned around and took Dongxue away.

Dong Xue followed Mu Qingcheng closely, she was puzzled by what she said just now.Those words obviously say that Ouyang Qingxue is not dead, and now there is a national funeral, isn't it inappropriate to say such a thing?

"Miss, did you talk too much with the Queen Mother today? If you let others listen to you and then go to Miss Ouyang, wouldn't you be asking for trouble?"

Dong Xue looked at Mu Qingcheng with her head sideways, holding the silk handkerchief with both hands, looking a little cautious.

"Even if others listen to it, what can you change if you find Ouyang Qingxue? The position of empress? No, because this one in the palace is her sweetheart, and she won't joke about such things. What's more, the current situation , she is no longer an important role, no one will pay attention to her."

Mu Qingcheng made an indifferent expression, and the corners of her lips smiled lightly, full of confidence.Against the backdrop of the setting sun, there was a hint of blush on the originally pale cheeks.The slender knuckles, which were as transparent as snow jade, made her originally thin body even more frail.

The spring breeze in February still carried a hint of coolness, occasionally blowing on his face, making Mu Qingcheng shiver suddenly.He stretched out his hand to tighten the cloak that was draped over him, and shrunk his head slightly, as if only in this way would his body be warmer.The warmth on her body will not be stolen like this.

"How should the emperor explain it? This time, she is emotional. She also thinks that the young lady did this on purpose, and things seem to have started to develop in a bad direction."

Dong Xue recalled the scene when His Majesty came to Sydney Palace to question Miss after the fire.I have never seen His Majesty lose such a big temper, and almost hit the lady that day.She thought that what the young lady did was a little too much, and no matter how big it was, Ouyang Qingxue's life should not be killed.

His Majesty said that the young lady did this to ensure that there was no threat to her successor. Even so, she should not be burned to death for the Queen Mother.

One day after the incident, His Majesty specially rewarded Ouyang's family, as well as those titles and cleansing of grievances. The lady never expressed her opinion, she just watched His Majesty do so silently.

Dong Xue had already come to a conclusion in her heart that His Majesty had to bear too much, and it was impossible to have absolute trust in Miss. This is the mentality of being on the throne, you must learn to guard against everyone around you, right?

"No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than death? As long as I live, I can always think of a solution. As long as she is good, I am satisfied. Because at least when I leave, she doesn't have to be so sad. I used to live only to protect Mu Mu. Home and Xiaoyaolou, and now I just want to protect her, let the rest take its course."

Mu Qingcheng shrugged her shoulders and let out a long sigh.It seems that there is endless helplessness, and I can't explain it, I can only hold it in my heart, waiting for them to disappear slowly by themselves.

Looking at the endless stone path ahead and the towering red palace wall, it is like a kind of cage that can never be escaped. If you want to go out, you can't get out, and outsiders want to come in, but they are ruthlessly blocked out.

In the Tang Dynasty, "don't give birth to a boy and give birth to a girl", if it was just to send daughters into the palace as a prejudice against women, how many women who entered the palace escaped the fate of women in the palace?

Is Yang Guifei's fate good?In the end, it's not that "the king can't save his face".Thinking of this, Mu Qingcheng also felt that he was very lucky, at least he didn't have to wait until he was old and left in the harem, and got the best love at the best age, and then left, this is also a kind of happiness, right?

"I just feel sorry for the young lady. The young lady bears too much alone, and she has to endure the questioning and suspicion of the person she loves the most. Originally, there should be someone who can carry these things with you, but now? The young lady has to carry it on her thin shoulders alone. It's a bit unfair to mention the fate of the entire Huangfu dynasty."

Dongxue pouted when she spoke, feeling very aggrieved.The pouty little face is even more cute when puffed up.

"There is nothing fair or unfair in this world, as long as one's own people think it's worth it, it's worth it."

After Mu Qingcheng finished speaking, she turned to Dongxue beside her with a sly smile and said, "Dongxue, I think you are very cute when you are angry, and you are usually too strict. I wonder if Hua Phantom will be so fascinated if she sees it. Lost your soul?"

What Mu Qingcheng said was extremely serious, it didn't look like a joke at all.And Dong Xue easily noticed the wicked smile under that smile, and this time stomped her feet angrily, shouting loudly at Mu Qingcheng: "Miss! I don't care about you."

As he spoke, he swung his sleeves and strode forward, while Mu Qingcheng, who stayed behind and laughed loudly, laughed on his back.
