old queen

Chapter 63

"Okay!" Long Rui lowered his head again, and said in a low voice, "I'm missing my mother." He unconsciously remembered the ridiculous image of her sleeping on the chair that day.I still remember that at that time, he had the idea of ​​taking a pen and painting a few strokes on her face.However, out of respect for his mother, the idea was eventually dropped.

miss her?Reminiscent of that person from his son's words, a lively and pretty face immediately appeared in front of his eyes, and Long Che's heart couldn't help jumping violently.Quickly stabilized her heartbeat, held her breath, and asked in a deep voice: "You go to see her every day, what else do you want to think about?"

"This..." A faint blush crept up his cheeks, and Long Rui was speechless again.

"I heard people say that in the past few days you went to the cold palace when you have nothing to do?" The son was speechless, but the father still had something to say!Long Che opened his mouth and asked softly.

The blush on the face faded instantly!Long Rui's complexion tightened, and he hurriedly said: "My son..." But the words that followed were still unclear.

"I also heard that when you came out of the cold palace yesterday, how many account books did you bring with you?" When he spoke again, Long Che asked in a softer voice.

With a plop, Long Rui hurriedly knelt down and said loudly: "Royal father, I know my mistake! It's only near the end of the month, there are too many accounts in the palace, and the queen mother can't do it alone, so I want to help her Share it, Erchen knows I was wrong!" Although he admitted his mistake, he did not forget to take the responsibility on his own shoulders, "It's just that all this was Erchen's own idea, and it was Erchen who offered to help his mother take a look. Yes, it has nothing to do with the queen mother, I implore the emperor not to punish the queen mother!"

Hearing what his father said, he knew that this little secret between himself and his mother was no longer a secret, at least not in front of his father.That being the case, for the present plan, the only thing to do is to plead guilty as soon as possible. Maybe the emperor can see him for his positive attitude in admitting his mistakes, and give him a lighter sentence.It's just kid Long Rui, haven't you heard an idiom called wanting to cover up?The more you emphasize the latter sentence, in the mind of you, the emperor's father, the more he will think that it was she who offered to ask you to read it for her, and he will think in the direction you guided. !
Having given birth to such a well-behaved and obedient son, Long Che didn't know whether he was proud of his good genetics, or he was filled with emotion because that woman could actually give birth to such a high-quality son.After looking at his son's tense little body for a long while, he opened his mouth lightly and said slowly, "Did I say that I would punish her?"

ah?Hearing this, Long Rui raised his head and looked at him in surprise: "Then there will be no punishment?" Great!Bubbles of joy popped up from the bottom of my heart, one after another, and one after another, piling up more and more, but I didn't dare to express it too clearly on my face.

Long Che nodded coolly, and said in a cold voice: "Looking at her staying in the cold palace recently, she is quite honest and hasn't caused any trouble. I just pretend that I didn't notice such small things."

That is to say, the all-clear?A huge bubble of joy exploded in his heart, and Long Rui couldn't help but kowtow quickly to thank his mother: "Thank you, Father!"

Don't thank him, he also did it for the stability of the harem and the balance between the court and the middle.Long Che thought to himself. "However, Rui'er, as a queen, it is her responsibility to lead the harem. As a prince, it is not appropriate for you to get involved in the harem affairs."

"My son knows, but my son is just helping to see if there are any omissions and mistakes in the accounts, nothing else!" Long Rui hurriedly said, still trying to clear the suspicion for his mother.

This child, at this time, did not forget to say good things for her.Long Che chuckled and shook his head slightly: "Rui'er, you don't need to explain to her anymore. Are you afraid that I don't know what you have done for her these two days?"

I also know that he should be clear, but he still hopes that he will not be clear in his heart!Long Rui sighed in his heart, nodded: "Yes, I know I was wrong."

"She's too busy, so it's understandable for you to help her, but, if you can, you'd better let her do it alone! These are her responsibilities." Looking at his son's small head, Long Che said softly .Looking at the misty distance with his eyes, his expression also became misty, and there was a little sadness in his voice, as if he was talking to himself, "With your grandpa and grandma pampering her, her temperament is already so arrogant, you and I can't do it anymore. Get used to her." Otherwise, she would really be lawless.

"Yes, I know." Long Rui nodded quickly, and said firmly, "In the future, I will definitely remember that if I don't help my mother read all the account books, I will slowly let her start to read them by herself, and gradually let her be able to read them all. Solve it alone."

That's what he means.Withdrawing his eyes, Long Che bent down to support his son, stroked his little head, and sighed in a low voice: "He is really my good son."

Why did he start touching his head too!The day before yesterday, I reached an agreement with the queen mother not to let her touch it. Unexpectedly, the queen mother stopped touching it, and the emperor father started to touch it again!In front of the stern father, Long Rui didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction in his heart, so Long Rui could only yell in his heart.On the surface, he still bowed his head and said softly: "Thank you, Father, for your compliment."

Looking up at Long Che, he found that recently, Emperor Father seems to have become much gentler!It's not like talking to him with a cold face all the time. Now when he mentions his mother, he doesn't blow his beard and stare like he used to.

This should be a good sign!The more he thought about it, the more his heart was filled with happiness, Long Rui smiled happily.

Three days later, the small table full of account books was dealt with by kid Long Rui. Mu Mingchun heaved a long sigh of relief, feeling that the biggest burden in his life had been lifted from his heart.

You ask why her son is working, and she, a mother who enjoys it, still feels burdened?Hmph, don't you think, as a queen, she has nothing else to deal with besides the account books?Don't you think that every day when little girl Long Rui comes to help, she won't give her a long lecture before going to work?Do you think that the five maids in her bedroom would let her go so easily?So, after a closer look, the three days trapped in the palace were still very miserable!
When the matter finally came to an end for the time being, Mu Mingchun was about to jump up and cheer, but a note from outside the palace caused her high-spirited state of mind to fall heavily again.

Hurrying to Long Yu's mansion, the steward of the Wang's mansion was already waiting outside.

"Ma'am." Seeing Mu Mingchun, he hurried up to meet him and called in a low voice.

"Yeah." With a slight nod, Mu Mingchun asked calmly, "Where's the person?"

"In the backyard wing."

"Take me to see her."

"Yes."

A group of people walked through the corridor and came to the deepest part of the palace, where there was a row of exquisite wooden houses.The butler stepped forward, pushed one of the rooms open, then stepped aside, bowed and said, "Ma'am, it's right here."

"Understood, you all step back for now." Mu Mingchun said, lifting his foot and stepping over the threshold.

The cabin is simple and clean, there are not many things, just a table and a few chairs.In the deepest part of the hut, a small single bed was placed against the wall.On the bed lay a girl in white clothes.Hearing the sound of the door opening, the girl turned her head and glanced this way with her indifferent eyes.When she saw Mu Mingchun walking in, her eyes flickered slightly, and she turned her head around quickly, staring at the bed curtain above her head in a daze.

"Get up." Mu Mingchun said coldly as he walked to the bed and looked at the calm girl on the bed.

When the girl heard the sound, she paused for a moment, then got up obediently, and stood facing her.

Lifting her chin with one hand, forcing her to face him, Mu Mingchun asked in a deep voice, "You haven't eaten for three days?"

The girl lowered her eyes and closed her lips without saying a word.

The hand pinching her chin was tightened, and the force was so strong that the girl couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

"You want to die, don't you?" Raising her face, Mu Mingchun's cold question sounded again.

This time, the girl raised her face and eyelids, glanced at her lightly, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Yes."

Snapped!
Before he finished speaking, he slapped her across the face hard.The powerful palm wind slapped her down on the bed, the girl only felt a numbness on the right side of her face, and immediately felt a burning pain.Tears were dripping from the corners of her eyes, and she was about to raise her hand to wipe them away before others noticed, but someone was one step ahead of her.Without giving her time to react, Mu Mingchun quickly grabbed her collar with one hand and pulled her up from the bed.

Snapped!
Immediately afterwards, another slap slapped her on the other side of the face.This time, because of being firmly grasped by the collar, the girl just tilted her head to the right.The entire left side of her face was also numb, and immediately felt a burning pain.Both sides of the face were in pain, and it was hard to tell which side hurt more.She felt a fishy sweetness in her mouth, and the warm liquid slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth.The pain was so severe that she couldn't even cry now.

After finishing both sides, the hand on her collar was released, and she was sent back by the way, and she collapsed on the bed like a spoiled doll, unable to move anymore.

Hearing the two successive applause that resounded across the sky, the people waiting outside the house were shaken, and their hearts were tightly grasped.Just by hearing this voice, they could imagine how many hands Mu Mingchun had.Such two slaps, hitting such a delicate little girl on the face... Well, just thinking about it, they couldn't help but feel distressed.

Immediately, the woman yelled fiercely from the room, causing the room to tremble: "Want to die? Do you want to die? Hehe, do you want to die? No problem! But why did you only think of going Die? You didn’t die when you learned that your father was arrested for corruption, you didn’t die when you were imprisoned, you didn’t die when you were demoted to slavery, you didn’t die when you sold them on the street, and now you’re bought back, so you don’t have to go to jail again You are going to be beaten and scolded here, but you want to die? Do you think death is such an easy thing? You didn’t die before you were capable, but now that you’re here, what kind of chaste woman are you still pretending to be? Don’t forget, you are I bought it from the street! I bought you, and from now on you are mine, and your life is mine. Do you think you can die if you want to? If you miss, you have to go through mine agree!"
