Before going to Chaoyang Palace, Chu Qingyan had someone send a message to her family's Big Ice Cube and let them know.
Standing again at the gate of this palace, which symbolized the highest power in the harem, Chu Qingyan felt like a lifetime away.
The last time in my memory was when she and Big Bingcuo were preparing to travel north six years ago, and Liang Hou disappeared behind closed doors. It was also at that time that she saw Da Bingcuo's death to her family.
Now that she is standing here, she can still feel the disappointment of the big ice cube at that time. She lowered her head and stroked her belly, and said to the little baby in her heart, baby is good, my mother will love you well and not let you suffer any grievances .
Empress Liang received the news of Chu Qingyan's arrival early. At this time, the palace gate was opened, and Chu Qingyan's group went straight to the main hall without any hindrance.
Chu Qingyan, who originally had some emotions, when she saw the person sitting in the first place, her dissatisfaction and accusation suddenly choked in her throat, and she couldn't speak.
The black and beautiful black hair that used to be maintained in the past is now as white as snow, the smooth and rosy skin has lost its luster, the wrinkles are all over the face, and the rich and noble figure, now the complicated palace dress can not cover the thinness. Bone as weak.
It has only been a few months since the death of Emperor Xixuan, and the mother of a country, who is so dignified and majestic, has now grown old and lost her appearance.
Chu Qingyan didn't know what happened during this period, but she knew that Big Ice Cube would not do anything harsh to her mother.
Shocked but shocked, but Chu Qingyan immediately gave a salute, and no one could pick it up, "Qingyan sees the maiden, and the maiden is blessed and safe."
"Wan Fu Jin An?" Empress Liang didn't miss the shock in Chu Qingyan's eyes, she shook her head with a wry smile, "No matter how high the power is, you can't Wan Fu Jin An, Luo Yun, watch the seat."
Chu Qingyan could hear that she was not targeting her, and sat down with kindness.
Empress Liang's gaze fell on her stomach, and her empty eyes became a little brighter, "How many months?"
"Almost seven months."
"Time flies so fast. When I was pregnant with Xu'er, it was more than 20 years ago. Now, in the blink of an eye, he will have his own child. It's really time to spare." Empress Liang said with emotion. In addition, there is a bit more desolation and sorrow.
Before she came, Chu Qingyan could still figure out the queen's intentions, but after a few chats, all around the baby, she couldn't guess why this person called her here? Is it just pure concern for her children
Maybe people will change after going through things, but she believes that a person will not be completely transformed all at once.
After chatting for a while, Queen Liang finally threw out her purpose.
"Girl Chu, Xu'er has a grudge against me and doesn't want to see me. I have no choice but to do this and ask you to make a special trip."
Empress Liang has always been arrogant, and rarely lowered her head like this and spoke to her humbly. It was difficult for Chu Qingyan not to be surprised, but she could not forget the suffering that Big Ice had suffered for so many years, even at this time. No matter how good Queen Liang is, she will not soften her heart.
"If you have something to say, please speak directly."
Empress Liang knew that it was a fortune to see her, she did not ask her to be nice to herself, she nodded and said, "Chu girl, I know Xu'er will not let the Liang family go, but please tell him a few words. For those who stand in high positions, no one's hands are clean. In order not to be pulled down by others, means have become the foundation of one's life."
"Niangniang, as an official, as long as it is for the benefit of the common people, it is forgivable to use some means, but," Chu Qingyan's eyes became sharp, "for the sake of selfishness, for the sake of his own power and wealth, he will not use any means, Become a court moth, murder the people, and don't take the people's livelihood seriously. Such people are not worthy of being an official at all, so you don't have to excuse the Liang family. Over the years, they have done many dirty things that harm others and benefit themselves. You and I know Belly."
When she and Da Bingcui went north all the way, they punished so many corrupt officials, and saw so many people living in poverty. The darkness she experienced in a prosperous world was far beyond what Empress Liang, a well-born and pampered person, could understand.
Empress Liang was so choked up by her words that she was speechless. The people next to her didn't dare to stand up and scold Chu Qingyan's ignorance because she had explained it before. She was bold and frightened.
Being said these words so mercilessly by the younger generation, Chu Qingyan thought that Empress Liang would turn into anger, but she didn't. After her face paled a little, she regained her composure, only to see her looking at herself with an incomprehensible expression. mood.
"Girl Chu, I don't deny that you are right, but when people have power in their hands, few people don't get lost, but today, this is not what we are going to discuss," Empress Liang coughed lightly and calmed down. He continued, "The Liang family has done so much evil to the point that they have to get rid of it, but they have also done a lot for Xu'er. From the moment Xu'er was born, they supported him, where they couldn't see him. Seeking power and making profits, otherwise the world would have already become Xiao Ran, and even if they have no credit, they have toiled hard, and it depends on whether they can make Xu Er unlawfully benevolent."
As soon as Empress Liang finished speaking, she felt a strong gaze that could not be ignored tightly locked on her body. She raised her head to meet Chu Qingyan's cold and indifferent gaze, feeling that she was being pressed down on her head, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. At a young age, she has such aura. If she waits for her wings to be full, how can she be so stunning
"Niangniang, do you think that the Liang family did their best for His Highness, not because of his status? And you, have you ever treated His Highness with sincerity? Treat him as your own close relative and plan a great road for him, not for the sake of passing He sought higher power for the Liang family, and to satisfy his own vanity?"
Chu Qingyan threw the question one by one directly, smashing Empress Liang to a bloodless face and in a panic.
She stood up and said indifferently to the person in the first place, "As the lord of the harem, Niangniang should know that the harem is not allowed to take part in politics, so the matter that Niangniang asked, she can do nothing and leave."
To excuse the Liang family, she felt that if this was what Queen Liang asked her to come here for, there would be nothing to say between them.
When Xining was helping her to leave, she suddenly heard an urgent voice chasing after her.
"I have something on hand that will help Xu'er, and I can exchange it with you."
As soon as these words fell, Chu Qingyan stopped, then slowly turned around to look at her.
The charming woman looked at her against the light, and her eyes were full of sarcasm, which made Empress Liang feel bitter.
I never thought that in the end, I still used this method.
However, it has reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, what else can I ask for, what can I expect
