Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 673 Die without Complaint

Speaking of her former lover, this powerful official at court finally shed her heavy and complicated disguise and became as pure as a teenager: "For some reason, she suddenly devoted herself to studying medical skills, and all banquets and banquets were postponed. She refused, and her temperament became more and more withdrawn, and she was inseparable from the queen, but gradually began to distance herself..."

Zhao Xiwei was a little surprised: "So, did the mother's change make the queen angry?"

"Yeah..." Zhao Ziyi sighed again, "Your mother's temperament, you also know, she accepts if she likes it, rejects it if she doesn't like it, never bothers to hide it, let alone knows how to be tactful, the queen treats her like a close sister, How can you not be angry?"

He gently closed his eyes to prevent his daughter from seeing the sadness in his eyes: "Actually, in the final analysis, father is also responsible for this..."

Zhao Xi was taken aback for a moment: "What responsibility?"

Shen Yuqing began to study medicine day and night after she made love with Zhao Ziyi.

"I don't understand exactly what she thinks." Zhao Ziyi looked at her daughter, "I asked her many times, but she didn't want to tell me at first, but she told me later because..." His tone dropped, and he murmured Muttered, "In order to be with me..."

"In order to be with you?" Zhao Xi was slightly puzzled.

"Yes." Zhao Ziyi smiled wryly, "Your grandfather brokered the marriage contract between me and your mother, but your grandmother was not very willing in private, but your grandfather had a great reputation, so she was not easy to refuse it openly. Then your grandmother gradually showed her attitude."

Zhao Xi was slightly stunned.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yuqing made such a great effort for this relationship...

"That year was also March [-]rd, and a spring hunt was held in the palace, and all girls from aristocratic families could participate, but your mother didn't want to get too close to the queen because of me..."

"This is the second time she has missed an appointment after the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. The empress was extremely disappointed and broke up with your mother from then on."

Zhao Xiwei understood.

The queen and Shen Yuqing are close friends in the boudoir, because their temperaments are somewhat similar.

Although one is a queen, she doesn't want to be trapped in the harem; even though the other is a noble girl, she doesn't want to live in a boudoir.

The same is strong in their bones, so that they cherish each other and become confidants.

But there are no two people who are truly alike.

Behind the similar temperament, they have completely different pursuits.

In order to better manage the government and avoid being emptied of her power, the queen can heartlessly take the elixir.

And Shen Yuqing is undoubtedly different.

She doesn't care about fame and fortune, she just immerses herself in the things she likes.

If she just refused because she didn't like it, the queen wouldn't be angry.

But it was because of a man who intentionally neglected his friends in the boudoir, which was indeed a bit disappointing.

"The queen attaches great importance to this spring hunting, and she specially ordered the weapon department to make a batch of bows and arrows." Zhao Ziyi's eyes fell on the small bow, "And the best one is this one - it is shaped like a willow leaf, and its color Ruo Rouzhi is called Lady Bow."

"The lady's bow is famous for its lightness, which is very suitable for women to use. Because the blueprint was drawn by the empress herself, it became popular in the capital immediately after it was made..."

"Draw it by the queen herself?" Zhao Xi was slightly surprised, picked up the small bow again, and looked at it a few times in the palm of his hand.

It was only then that Xiao Gong discovered that there was another mystery behind it.

The bow body is carved with exquisite patterns, but it is not flowers and trees, but the sun, moon and stars. Where the waves overlap, there are eagles hitting the sky.

The carvings are exquisite and unique, with dots of patterns, which are basically invisible if you don't look carefully, but the posture of the eagle soaring is unforgettable.

Zhao Xiwei looked over and over for a long time, and suddenly his eyes froze.

Under the eagle's wings, there seemed to be faint stains in the uneven carvings.

Like black but not black, like red but not red.

She thought it was the dust that was accidentally contaminated, so she wiped it lightly with her fingertips twice.

But I saw a dark red dust on the fingertips.

Her heart skipped a beat for no reason.

Could it be that without Zhao Ziyi's knowledge, Mother is hiding something else?

"Mother studied medicine back then, did you concoct any rare medicine?" She felt that if a generation of geniuses put in so much effort, they must have achieved something that shocked the world.

"No." Zhao Ziyi shook her head, "Even if the drug for the queen is not a rare prescription, the Tai Hospital can prescribe it..."

Zhao Xi frowned slightly.

Shen Yuqing didn't mention these past events in front of her, and she couldn't guess the truth or falsehood based on Zhao Ziyi's few words.

but……

She suddenly thought of something, and asked again: "After the empress and mother turned against each other, did you say anything?"

She always felt that it was impossible for a sassy woman like the queen to turn against her sisters just because she broke an appointment.

Zhao Ziyi thought for a moment, and her expression became a little strange: "I said a word, she said—" The voice stopped abruptly.

Zhao Xiwei's heart choked up.

She felt that she was in a deep and dark cave.

At the end of the cave, there was a tightly closed door.

It was as if something in the dark was pushing her, making her walk through the darkness and approach the door step by step.

She heard her voice tense, and asked directly, "What did the queen say?"

He straightened his lips, paused for a long time, and then slowly said under Zhao Xiwei's urgent gaze: "The queen said, 'Shen Yuqing, you will definitely kill yourself. By then, I hope you will not regret it. '."

Zhao Xiwei only felt that the door "bang" and suddenly opened.

There seemed to be a strong light piercing her face, causing her to narrow her eyes subconsciously.

In the haze, Zhao Ziyi's voice was exceptionally clear——

"And your mother replied that even if it is death, there is no complaint."

Even if it is death, there is no complaint.

Zhao Xiwei's throat tightened, and a gust of hot air surged into his eyes.

Yeah, she did.

She did die in the end.

She really didn't complain.

At the end, she was smiling.

Zhao Ziyi's fingers tightly grasped the edge of the table, and there was clearly a strong hatred and regret in his eyes.

Zhao Xiwei, who was immersed in sadness, failed to grasp this detail, so he only put away the small bow, and returned to his small courtyard with a heavy heart.

Although this bow did not really belong to Shen Yuqing, but because of such a small twist, the queen refused to use it again. Later, it somehow flowed into the Jiangxia Palace and was taken to Jiangxia. But who knows, after Li Fengyi returned to the capital, she also Give it to Zhao Xiwei.

Is this a kind of providence?
But God's will came to her just to tell her that her mother was a woman who was willing to die for love?

She put the box containing the bow next to her pillow, and lay on the bed at night, unable to fall asleep because of tossing and turning.

My thoughts flew far away, and I naturally thought of Li Xuanye.

Counting the days, he should have arrived in Liangzhou...

Early the next morning, she got up with the black eyes in her eyes, when someone rushed in anxiously.

"Miss, a eunuch is coming to the palace!" Yin Bao was sweating profusely as he ran.

"Eunuch? What are you doing here?"

"It's the eunuch in the Empress Dowager's palace! He said he sent you a special message!"

Zhao Xiwei was about to get out of bed, when he heard this, his body froze.
