Chapter 236
The wine glass shattered and scattered pieces all over the place.
The ceramic shards vibrated slightly, making a humming sound.
"Drink or not!" Cheng Muqing grabbed Tao Yushan and grabbed her mouth.
"Not yet." Tao Yushan took her hand holding her face, "It hurts..."
"Ah... sorry." Cheng Muqing withdrew his hand, turned his gaze, and met the sharp eyes of Empress Dowager Lu.She turned around and covered Tao Yushan behind her with a flick of her sleeve.
"Queen." The Empress Dowager Lu's expression was not very good, "What are you doing?"
"Mother, my son would like to ask, what are you doing?" Cheng Muqing showed a gentle smile, "What is this poisonous wine for?"
"Dao Shi and Lin Wei did such scandalous things and spread them out of the palace. Wouldn't it make the world laugh? The Ai family gave her poisoned wine and left her whole body, which is kind enough!" Queen Mother Lu said, "Queen, You are not allowed to meddle in this matter, let Ai's family go back and raise the baby with peace of mind."
"My son will take good care of the fetus, but...he won't sit idly by." Cheng Muqing straightened his hair slowly, and said, "Queen, do you have evidence for Tao and Lin Wei's scandal?"
"Aren't there enough gossips in the palace?"
"Then cut off the tongues of those people." Cheng Muqing's eyes were full of ruthlessness, "It's not polite to speculate without authorization."
Everyone in the hall looked at her involuntarily.
"What are you talking about?" Queen Mother Lu looked incredulous, "Can you cut it?"
"Hmph~ What's the matter, my son can do it alone." Cheng Muqing put his hands on his stomach and rubbed them slowly, "Rumors only stop with wise men. My son must have a few more wise men in the palace."
She wants to make an example to others.
Tao Yushan couldn't help but tugged at her sleeves. She used to think that her cousin was heartless, but she never expected to be so ruthless.
"You... You are like this, do you think about the child in your womb?" Queen Mother Lu frowned, "Do you not accumulate virtue? You still want to do evil?"
"The queen mother should also understand." Cheng Muqing's tone softened, "Dao Shi was clearly forced to get along with Lin Wei, and Tao Shi was clearly a victim in this matter. Why do you want to deal with her in the end? Deal with a victim? Just because of the so-called royal reputation, you want to ruin a life? How are you different from a child?"
Empress Dowager Lu's eyes were gloomy, "The empress's tongue is really powerful, I can't say no to you."
"If you can't say it, don't say it." Cheng Muqing shrugged, "My son has a suggestion, and I hope the queen mother will adopt it."
Empress Dowager Lu raised her chin slightly, motioning for her to continue.
"Lin Heng decided to enshrine Lin Yan as King Wen Xiao and be buried in the imperial tomb in the southern suburbs. At that time, Tao will go there as Princess Wen Xiao, and at the price of reciting a lifetime scripture, in exchange for King Wen Xiao's happiness and well-being in the next life."
"You're just saving her life, so what about the royal family's reputation?"
"After Tao's departure from Beijing, he will be forgotten as time goes by." Cheng Muqing said, "Mother, it's not that you don't know how to deal with it like this, but you simply think that Tao's betrayed Lin Yan, and she deserves it." She was severely punished. But have you ever thought about it? Dow is just a woman, and she has no one to help her. How can she resist a man who holds military power?"
Outside the hall, it rained suddenly.
The heavy rain was torrential, beating on the marble tiles, pattering and disturbing.
Seeing that Empress Dowager Lu stopped talking, Cheng Muqing leaned against her body and bowed her hands in salute, "If Empress Mother has nothing else to do, I will take my leave first."
"Paper." Tao Yushan whispered beside her.
"Send it over." Empress Lu gave a wink, and the maid next to her presented the paper to Cheng Muqing politely.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Although Cheng Muqing didn't know what it was, he still kept it properly.
After saying that, Cheng Muqing turned around and pulled Tao Yushan out.
Lulian and Jinxi held up paper fans for the two of them.
"Thank you." Tao Yushan turned to look at her.
I don't know if it's because of becoming a queen, Cheng Muqing has a bit of indescribable nobility and grace on his body.
"Why are you being polite?" Cheng Muqing patted her hand, "This matter was not your fault in the first place."
"Why did you come back?" Tao Yushan asked.
"I heard from the maid that you came here, but you were called away later." Cheng Muqing said with a relaxed tone, "I felt something was wrong, so I came here."
"That's all?"
"That's all." Cheng Muqing affirmed.
"Didn't you always think there was something wrong between me and Li Lanyi?" Tao Yushan suddenly mentioned this matter, "Actually... nothing happened between me and him."
"Your words... do you want something to happen?" Cheng Muqing couldn't help laughing.
"Actually..." Tao Yushan stopped, her eyes drooped, and her long eyelashes concealed the thousands of thoughts in her eyes.
Cheng Muqing looked at her.
"He's a good man and someone you can trust." Tao Yushan raised her eyes to look at her, "Don't be wary of him anymore."
"What kind of ecstasy did he give you?" Cheng Muqing frowned, "To make you so...decided?"
"You'll know when you really get to know him." Tao Yushan bowed, "I'll go back and pack my things, and I'll move to the imperial mausoleum in a few days."
She turned and left without a trace of nostalgia.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about about Eunuch Li?" Jin Xi couldn't help muttering, "The Crown Princess is such a picky and indifferent person, how could she say such things?"
"I don't know." Cheng Muqing answered honestly, "I have no contact with Li Lanyi, so what can I know?" She always thought that Li Lanyi was the prince of Qiguo, but Tao Yushan's words made her a little shaken .
"Speaking of which, why didn't Eunuch Li just say that the Crown Princess was taken away by the Queen Mother? If we were later, the Crown Princess might be dead." Jin Xi puzzled.
"At that time, there was a court lady standing next to me. Li Lan didn't dare to speak out. He wanted to let me know that the palace maids of Fengyi Palace were not worthy of trust. Also, he wanted to separate himself from Tao Yushan..."
"Oh~ No wonder you didn't mention Eunuch Li just now." Jin Xi nodded blankly.
"He doesn't want Tao Yushan to know, so why should I do anything extra? Besides, I don't agree with the relationship between the two of them." Cheng Muqing said, "One is the eunuch and the other is the princess...even if Lin Yan is dead, the relationship between the two of them There is still a gap that cannot be bridged. If they really have feelings...it is also destined to be a tragedy."
Why doesn't she sympathize with Tao Yushan from the bottom of her heart?Marry someone you don't love, and the other person doesn't trust you at all.But after all, she is the princess...
The heavy rain continued to wet the palace walls, making the red walls more delicate and beautiful.
As soon as Li Lan stood in the rain, the little eunuch beside him supported him and looked at him frequently.
"Speak up if you have anything to say." Li Lan said.
"Godfather, why didn't you just say it?" The little eunuch was puzzled, "You didn't say it in front of the empress, and in front of the princess, you never said it directly about your comeback."
"Heh~" Li Lan smiled, he sighed, and said, "You don't understand, the more obvious I am, the more I will hurt her."
The little eunuch didn't understand, he obviously cared about guarding outside Yong'an Palace all the time, and even planned to change the poisoned wine prepared by Queen Mother Lu, why he refused to say it?
