Chapter 208

Yu Wenyi was not there when he went to the post station to look for Yu Wenyi, so Chu Lingyue and Murong Jing handed over the paperwork to enter the palace.In the Palace of Mercy Ning, the Queen Mother suddenly heard that Chu Lingyue was coming and couldn't help but take a look at the late-night sky.

Entering the palace at this time, but never before...

"Let's all go down." After waving the palace people away, the Empress Dowager sat alone in the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace in a daze under the setting sun.What should come will always come, but this day, I don't know if Ling Yue can bear it...

Entering the Compassionate Ning Palace together with Murong Jing, seeing that there was no one in the palace, Chu Lingyue turned to look at Murong Jing.Murong Jing smiled, took her hand, and the two entered the main hall together.

"You are here." Seeing them enter the door, the queen mother beckoned for Chu Lingyue to come over. The two looked at each other and bowed down to pay their respects.The queen mother raised her hand to let the two of them stand up, then patted the seat beside her for Chu Lingyue to come over, "Ling Yue, come and sit. Young Lord Jingcheng also sit down."

"You guys are here for a matter entrusted by Prince Nanzhu?" Although the queen mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, it does not mean that she is ignorant of things outside the palace. She also knows about Murong Jing's secret investigation, but she did not stop it. .

It happened many years ago, but Ling Yue has the right to know about it.

"Queen Mother, do you know that right..." Ling Yue looked at the Queen Mother expectantly. The Queen Mother has loved her since she was a child. She thought it was just love, but where is the grace for no reason?Now that I think about it, I am really no different from a fool.

"Ling Yue, come with me, let's go somewhere." The queen mother helped Chu Lingyue tidy up the hair around her ears, with a kind and desolate smile.

Exchanged a look with Murong Jing in doubt, Chu Lingyue didn't know whether to follow.Murong Jing nodded and followed behind the two.All the way out, everything in the palace seems to be quiet, there is not even a eunuch.

The three of them walked quietly on the palace road without saying a word, feeling a little suffocated.

Finally stopped, Chu Lingyue raised her head, and found that she had arrived at the Imperial Study Room.

"I know that Prince Nanzhu asked you to investigate this matter. Since you want to know, why don't you explain it clearly at once." The queen mother took the lead to walk up the steps, and Chu Lingyue and Murong Jing had to follow behind.

In the imperial study room, Yu Wenqian couldn't hold back when he saw them.Originally, he and Yu Wenyi were doing well at the inn, but suddenly they were passed on to the palace by the eunuch. Did not say.

Now seeing Murong Jing and Chu Lingyue arriving again, he was even more curious about what happened.

"Sit down when you're all here, this story is very long." Li Fengyi waved his hand and stopped Chu Lingyue and Murong Jing from saluting. A eunuch put down the chairs, and then walked out with his head bowed.

"Queen Mother, when the Nanzhu mission first came, they wanted to ask to see aunt, but today they want to invite aunt to meet?" Yu Wenqian asked tentatively, then looked around and saw no one else appeared.

"The aunt you mentioned won't show up anymore." The Queen Mother sighed, her eyes drifting towards Chu Lingyue, "Your aunt is Ling Yue's mother, who passed away nine years ago."

"Gone? Why did you die?" Yu Wenqian broke the casserole and asked, "My grandfather and father went to Tianqi many years ago. At that time, my aunt was still a young girl. Why did she suddenly disappear when she was young?"

After taking a look at Queen Mother Li Fengyi, she decided to take everything on herself, "I was confused for a while, and she died."

Then, the queen mother narrated the events of that year, even if she had never participated in it, she could guess the danger.

Back then, the Empress Dowager was already pregnant after parting from her lover, so she was not allowed to enter the palace. However, the Zhuge Clan of the Empress Dowager’s natal family had always had a conspiracy. He entered the palace and was named a nobleman, that is, later the queen mother.

On the day the queen mother entered the palace, she declared that she already belonged to her and had a child with her lover. The first emperor said that he knew and would arrange the best home for the child, but he asked Zhuge to do him a favor, to help him Emperor Fuyou ascended the throne, which is the current emperor Li Fengyi.

The matter has come to this point, even if Zhuge Linling disagrees, he has to agree.Therefore, the queen mother has been tied to the emperor since then, and the first emperor returned to the west after arranging everything, but the first emperor kept his word. The imperial decree requested that the Empress Dowager's daughter be taken out of the palace to give her peace of mind.

The Empress Dowager was grateful for the care of the late emperor, and also believed in Weiyuanhou as a man, so she entrusted her daughter to Weiyuanhou.In a flash, for more than ten years, under the help and care of the queen mother, the emperor grew up and was finally able to rule in person. However, at that time, the affairs of the court were controlled by Song Guogong, Qin Guogong and the regent King Ning. Song Guogong and Ning Wang were in-laws. There is no outstanding person with both ability and virtue.

In order to consolidate the throne, Li Fengyi married two daughters of the Qin family and the Song family into the palace successively, one conferred the queen and the other concubine, but at this time, King Ning somehow found out that the queen mother had an affair with Prince Nanzhu and had a daughter matter.Such scandals are rare even among the private sector.

And King Ning's move was to overthrow the emperor, so as to give himself an excuse to seek to usurp the throne. After all, there is no more suitable excuse than this.At this time, if the emperor abandons the queen mother, the Zhuge family will also abandon the emperor, and the emperor will also bear the reputation of being unfilial.If he didn't give up, he might have to fight against the officials in the court and face King Ning's hostage and censure.

In just a few words, the danger in it has been made very clear.Chu Lingyue took a breath, and looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief, "Why didn't the Queen Mother take out the imperial edict that was given to Grandpa?"

"Even if it is taken out, it is useless? Back then, the first emperor only said that Marquis Weiyuan would enter the palace to adopt a child, but he did not say that it was the Empress Dowager's child. Moreover, the jade seal is in the hands of His Majesty. King Ning can definitely frame the Empress Dowager for colluding with Marquis Weiyuan to forge imperial edicts." " Murong Jing guessed that he knew more about these things than Chu Lingyue.

"That's right, the old Marquis Weiyuan has already helped me and His Majesty too much, so I can't drag him in again. I never said anything about this imperial decree. Even your mother didn't know about these things at the time, but your father knew about them." I only found out when I mentioned your mother to your mother." No wonder every time the Empress Dowager Lu Hengtao was mentioned, 1 people were unhappy, and this was the crux of the matter.

"So, my mother is..." Chu Lingyue couldn't be sure, and lost her voice as soon as the words came out.The queen mother also burst into tears, and the pain that had been hidden for almost ten years gushed out at this moment.

"Yes, in order not to drag me and His Majesty, your mother committed suicide at home!"

It turns out, it turns out...

Hot tears rolled out of Chu Lingyue's eyes, and fell on her knees, wetting them all.The Queen Mother also had no intention of comforting her. The pain of losing her son is still hard to heal. Even with the emperor, she still feels ashamed of Chu Yun and Ling Yue. When Chu Yun passed away, Ling Yue was only five years old. immature child.

If it wasn't for her and His Majesty, Chu Yun wouldn't have died, and Chu Lingyue wouldn't have become an orphan, and wouldn't have been bullied by Lu Hengtao...

"Child, cry if you want to cry..."

Chu Lingyue cried very quietly, the queen mother hugged her and patted her, and finally heard a "wow".

"I always thought that my mother was ill, but it turned out that she committed suicide. Queen Mother, I, I..."

The sad and tragic cries echoed in the hall, neither Li Fengyi nor the queen mother stopped her, and she still had to cry to feel better when she was unhappy.

When Chu Lingyue really calmed down, the queen mother raised her hand and sighed, "That's how things are, Your Royal Highness, the aunt you speak of is just so beautiful."

It was already dusk outside the window, only then did Murong Jing and Chu Lingyue realize that they had been sitting here for a long time, Chu Lingyue remained silent, Murong Jing was heartbroken, and quietly held her hand under the sleeve.The queen mother is also very thoughtful, and the 30 years of walking on thin ice can be said to be calm and breezy, but the price and hard work she paid for it is beyond evaluation.

Fortunately, His Majesty respects her very much now, and fortunately, King Ning's family has returned, and they did not even enter the imperial tomb in the end.

"The matter of imperial power is not what you think. There is another version, do you want to listen to it?" Li Fengyi, who has been silent since seeing their lonely appearance, opened his mouth, "The Queen Mother said that because he blamed himself. .”

"King Ning learned that the Queen Mother had an illegitimate daughter, and made a big fuss about it, spreading rumors so that people all over the world thought that the Queen Mother was a slut, and even secretly said that I was also the Queen Mother's confinement, so King Ning forced the palace in the name of the Qing Dynasty. They even plan to kidnap your mother and force her into the palace."

"The queen mother..."

"Well, the queen mother was also isolated and helpless back then, so a will can't prove anything. In order to seize the throne, King Ning will do anything. In order to force the queen mother and Zhen to submit, King Ning sent someone to arrest your mother, and your mother first One step left a letter and committed suicide, claiming that she was an orphan girl of Marquis of Weiyuan, but she was used by someone with a heart to cause chaos in the world, and she was ashamed of the common people. When you found that letter, your mother had been dead for a long time, and King Ning’s People have to give up."

Two people, two conversations, but they made it clear what happened back then.Yu Wenqian glanced at Chu Lingyue, and yelled, "Sister."

"En." Chu Lingyue's mind was still on the story just now, and she couldn't extricate herself from it. Seeing her like this, Yu Wenqian sighed, walked over and squatted in front of her and said.

"Sister, the past is over, we can't change the past, but we still have to think about the future."

Yu Wenqian has always been cynical, and it is surprising that he is so serious suddenly, but Chu Lingyue is not in the mood for his thoughtfulness now, so he forced a smile, "I know, I'm fine. I thought, you called me My sister is just shouting for fun, who would have thought that we are really siblings."

"Actually, I don't know. When I saw you for the first time, I felt that I should call you sister." Scratching his head, Yu Wenqian was a little shy, "I have always known that I have an older sister, and I have thought of countless older sisters. You will know later that you are my sister."

"Good boy." After touching his hair, Chu Lingyue lowered her eyes and obviously didn't think about it.
