Chapter 1918 Extremely Selfish (2)

The empress dowager also sighed: "You are my only daughter, but you are not happy. I always feel sad in my heart, and I feel that I owe you a lot. It's just that things have passed for so many years. You can't think about it anymore. It's useless, the war has started now, the danger here is serious, you go back to the house and rest!"

"Things have passed for many years, but it is because of the long past that I want to understand what happened back then." The eldest princess looked at the empress dowager firmly and said: "I remember that I was married to the Cui family. That year was because of the injustice in the south. I went to Cui’s house to bring a sense of comfort. I always thought it was the idea of ​​my father, but recently when I was thinking about the past, I realized that it was not at all. The emperor's idea is your mother's idea, right?"

The empress dowager looked a little uncomfortable, but she said: "Whether it's my idea or your father's idea, it's over, what's the point of you getting to the bottom of it now?"

"There is a big difference." The eldest princess said quietly: "Back then, there were several princesses in the palace. As soon as their mothers and concubines heard about that incident, they pulled their daughters back for fear that they would be married off. I went to Cui’s house, but the empress mother pushed me forward, because you were fighting for favor with Concubine Wen Gui, and you made another mistake at that time. , he felt that he owed you something, so your position was preserved."

The Empress Dowager recalled the old events back then, and her complexion changed several times. She said softly: "This is not what you think. Our mother and daughter had a difficult life in the palace, so naturally we have to take care of each other. If my position is not stable, how can your younger brother become the crown prince? Where did you get your honor today?"

Her words were a disguised acknowledgment of what happened back then, and the Eldest Princess turned pale and said: "After so many years, you can still be so calm when you mention that matter, I have nothing to say, sacrifice me alone, in exchange I think the safety of you and your brother is worth it, but mother, can you tell me why you planned to kill the son-in-law after I married into the Cui family?"

"Cui Concubine died of illness." The Empress Dowager dared not look into the eldest princess' eyes: "His death has nothing to do with me."

"I thought he died of illness before." The Eldest Princess said softly, "But then I checked his death carefully. Given his body, it was impossible for him to die of illness at that time. A few days ago, I asked someone to open the coffin. Yes, Xu Zuo said he was poisoned to death."

The empress dowager said in surprise: "Are you crazy? How many years has he been dead, and you still open the coffin!"

The eldest princess's eyes were full of pain and said: "I just don't understand some things, I just want to understand, but the truth was discovered more than twenty years later, mother, have you ever thought about me?" The pain and inconceivability of knowing the truth!"

The Empress Dowager's face twitched slightly, she took a deep breath and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first."

She raised her foot and wanted to leave, but the Eldest Princess stretched out her hand to hold her back and said, "When the son-in-law is sick, I will carefully check all the food and drink, the only thing I haven't checked is the ginseng soup that you personally sent by your mother. "

The empress dowager's body trembled a bit, her psychological quality was excellent, and she always felt that the world owed her.
