When Wang Yanqing heard the eunuch's letter, she was still thinking that she and Shen Xibi had no relationship and no reason. What did Shen Xibi tell her to do? When he saw the bright yellow imperial carriage at the gate of the palace, Wang Yanqing realized who was looking for her.
Wang Yanqing has a clear conscience, but this kind of thing is best avoided. It is not appropriate for the emperor to meet a foreign wife alone, but if they meet by chance in Shenxi Concubine's Palace, then there is no need to worry about being talked about.
The eunuch communicated that Wang Yanqing had arrived, and Zhang Zuo greeted him personally, seeing Wang Yanqing very respectful: "Mrs. Lu, please come here."
Because of Lu Heng's face, Zhang Zuo has always been very polite to Wang Yanqing, but now his politeness has added a hint of fear. Zhang Zuo saw what happened yesterday, so many concubines fought for it, Wang Yanqing only mentioned Shen Xibi, and the emperor really pointed the eldest princess to Shen Xibi.
It can be seen that the emperor really believed what Wang Yanqing said. This is too terrifying. The grand eunuch Zhang Zuo looks at the scenery. In fact, he lives on the trust of the superior. Once the emperor does not trust him and begins to suspect that Zhang Zuo is lying, that Zhang Zuo will die.
One sentence determines life and death, this is how Zhang Zuo is not afraid.
Wang Yanqing entered the hall, the emperor was teasing the eldest princess, and Shen Xibi was standing aside nervously. After Wang Yanqing entered the door, he quietly stood aside without making any movement.
The eldest princess was sent to the Xibi Palace last night. The emperor asked the eldest princess about her diet and daily life, and Shen Xixi answered them one by one. The eldest princess didn't know if she was tired or what was going on, her demeanor was sluggish, she didn't respond to the emperor's teasing, and even closed her eyes and wept softly. Seeing this, Shen Xibi was so frightened that she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess may have eaten too much in the morning, and she didn't intend to offend the holy car."
The emperor had a high tolerance for his own children, he motioned Shen Xibi to bring the eldest princess to change clothes. Seeing that the emperor didn't mean to be angry, Shen Xibi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly hugged the eldest princess and left.
The child in the palace has a wet nurse as soon as it is born. Concubines and concubines do not need to do things like breastfeeding and changing diapers. But whether an adoptive mother is willing to do these things can also tell her attitude towards the child.
Wang Yanqing had been standing quietly beside him, and sure enough, after Shen Xibi went out, the emperor asked quietly, "Do you think what she said just now is sincere?"
During this time, the emperor felt the most distressed about the princess, and all fools knew how to please the emperor. Shen Xibi is willing to poop and pee for the eldest princess, is it sincerity or acting
Zhang Zuo became nervous when he heard it beside him. Wang Yanqing's answer is enough to control Shen Xixi's fate. If Wang Yanqing said that she was pretending, Shen Xixi would label the emperor as scheming and hypocritical. It's good to fall out of favor. life.
Zhang Zuo's heart tensed. Those of them who depended on holy favor for their lives met Wang Yanqing, which was a devastating disaster. Wang Yanqing's face was calm, as if she didn't think she had such an enviable ability at all, and said indifferently: "I don't know either. Her fear of you is so strong that it overwhelms other emotions, and it is difficult to judge her thoughts based on her expression alone. But when she is most afraid, her first reaction is to take the child away from you. It can be seen that she has a pure and kind heart, and at least she will not do anything to abandon the child. "
After listening to Zhang Zuo, the suffocation in his heart became even worse. The emperor sat down on the throne and said with great interest, "You don't seem to be afraid of me."
Even Lu Heng didn't dare to speak like that, but Wang Yanqing spoke bluntly. Isn't she afraid of angering the emperor
Of course Wang Yanqing knew that the emperor was notoriously moody, and even those in the cabinet couldn't guess the emperor's mood, let alone her? Wang Yanqing lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Because I want nothing from you."
To put it bluntly, the cabinet, eunuchs, and Lu Heng all wanted something. They hoped to gain power from the emperor and use the emperor's hand to achieve their goals, so they were restrained in their words and looked forward to the future. But Wang Yanqing didn't care, she stood a thousand miles on the wall, she had nothing to do, she didn't want to get anything, so naturally she didn't need to care about the emperor's opinion.
The emperor looked at Wang Yanqing and became more and more curious. He asked, "Is it the same when you and Lu Heng get along in private?"
Lu Heng lived in lies all year round, and was used to seeing darkness and calculations, so was he captured by a soul as pure as white paper
"It wasn't." Wang Yanqing said truthfully, "When I first lost my memory, I thought he was my only relative and catered to him everywhere. It was he who told me to pay attention to my own feelings and not always think about taking care of others. In the end, he was a liar. My person. He doesn't care about me, why should I care about his feelings? I will say something after that, as for whether he likes to listen or not, it has nothing to do with me. "
Including her being so indifferent to the emperor, it was also because the emperor and Lu Heng had a good relationship and even lied to her together. Lu Heng took her to meet the emperor several times. Does the emperor know if Lu Heng has adopted a sister
She didn't want to take care of their thoughts as a dog man of a raccoon dog.
The emperor nodded. He had basically witnessed the whole process and could understand Wang Yanqing's current feelings. The emperor sighed and said, "You can see through other people's thoughts without breaking a sweat. You are born with the ability that others have cultivated for decades. What are you dissatisfied with?"
If possible, the emperor dreamed of having this ability. When the courtier said that he shared his worries for the king, he actually wanted to use him to attack the political enemy; the concubines and concubines looked charming, but in fact every sentence was carefully designed; even his son and daughter, when they grew up, said filial piety in their hearts. He will also figure out how to get the most benefit from him.
The emperor thinks a lot and is moody, not because he can't judge the truth and he spends a lot of energy every day wondering if the top smart people around him are plotting against him. If he can see through it at a glance like Wang Yanqing, everything about the affairs of the government, palace affairs, and family will be solved easily.
After the emperor finished speaking, Wang Yanqing stopped for a while and asked in a low voice, "Do you really think this is a kind of luck?"
The emperor was surprised and looked at Wang Yanqing, "What do you mean?"
Wang Yanqing has never told anyone this kind of thing, and even when he owns Baoshan, he says that he is in pain, which is really hypocritical. But the emperor thought it was a good thing, and Wang Yanqing felt the need to explain it to him.
Wang Yanqing looked down at the sunlight on the floor tiles, and said slowly, "Being able to quickly recognize other people's emotions, and to be able to see through other people's thoughts spontaneously, sounds wonderful, but in this way, you will have no friends, no relatives, or even one person who can People who talk to each other. Everyone will be wary, jealous and even hate when they see you. No one is telling the truth to you, and you know all this clearly."
Following Wang Yanqing's words, the emperor fell silent. After finally finishing the words that had been stuck in his heart for a long time, Wang Yanqing let out a long sigh and sighed: "If it wasn't for my sudden memory loss, I'm afraid I would never have understood in my life. It turns out that other people in the world are not like this. When I was in Fu's family when I was a child, Like walking on thin ice, I dare not refuse anyone; I went to Lu’s house after losing my memory, and because I exposed my differences too early, no one in the house dared to talk to me except Lu Heng. I have been with Lingxi and Lingluan for two years, but When the two of them stood in front of me, their bodies would still be tense, as if they were facing a great enemy. The quicker they felt their emotions, the more they could understand the resistance of others to me. I am afraid this feeling is not lucky. "
The emperor fell into a long silence. Seeing that the emperor did not speak, Wang Yanqing continued: "Your Majesty, you think I'm lucky, but I think it's lucky to have a brain like you, or a powerful observation like Lu Heng. Maybe people are lucky. That’s it, you never see what you have, and you always feel that others are better. Life is like a traveller, and all beings are all alone.”
The emperor bathed in the sun, thought for a while, then shook his head and smiled softly: "You are more preachy than Taifu."
Although the emperor said this, he knew that the dead knot that had been in his heart since the change of the Renyin Palace had finally loosened. Several insignificant palace maids dare to kill him, who else can be trusted around him? However, Wang Yanqing told him that even if he saw through the thoughts of everyone around him, he would still be lonely and painful.
Life is like a reverse journey, and I am also a pedestrian. Everyone is a solo traveler.
The emperor untied the knot in his heart, and also had the mind to joke. The emperor was really curious and asked, "Did you really not see through Lu Heng lying to you when you first started?"
Really, which pot cannot be opened and raised, must the emperor's happiness be built on the pain of others? Wang Yanqing was expressionless and said, "No. The emperor and the Empress Dowager Zhang Sheng summoned me together. I think even if the second brother lied, these big men would never lie to me, right?"
Who would have thought that the real world is far more outrageous than imagined.
After Wang Yanqing finished speaking, he paused and added in a low voice, "Of course, it's because I never doubted him."
The emperor was amazed and did not continue, but instead asked: "What is your situation now?"
"It's a dilemma." Wang Yanqing sighed, "It's like a needle is stuck in my heart, and I still have the intimacy of the past in my mind, but if you get closer, you will be stabbed into blood."
The emperor inexplicably felt that Wang Yanqing's mentality was very similar to his situation. Thinking of what Lu Heng said for her, the emperor said coldly, "You said you didn't notice it because you never doubted him. Is it possible that those feelings are true?"
Wang Yanqing was stunned and looked up. The emperor vibrated his sleeves and walked out leisurely: "From tomorrow onwards, you won't have to enter the palace. Just now he deliberately came to me and talked for a long time, and he didn't want you to continue to meddle in the harem. This is the first time I saw him. For the sake of a woman, I originally thought that Lu Heng would not care about anyone except himself."
Wang Yanqing was stunned by these words and couldn't react for a while. Just now, she finally had an explanation for what she felt was wrong. Even if the emperor wanted to investigate Shen Xibi's attitude towards the eldest princess, there were ways to do it. Why go there in person? The emperor was actually because of Lu Heng, and the eldest princess and Shen Xibi were just incidental.
For a long time after the emperor left, Wang Yanqing was stunned, unable to return to his senses. Shen Xibi came back with the eldest princess in her arms. She looked at Wang Yanqing from a distance and reminded carefully, "Mrs. Lu?"
Wang Yanqing came back to her senses, of course she could see the precautions that Shen Xiconi was trying to please, and Wang Yanqing didn't want to stay here to be disgusting, so she took the initiative to leave.
Shen Xibi said the words of retention, but there was a long sigh of relief between her brows.
After Wang Yanqing came out, he did not leave the palace immediately, but walked slowly around the palace road to Xihuamen. This road passes through the West Sixth Palace, the Cining Palace, and the Silijian. There are many palace maids and servants on the road. People on the road avoided her when they saw her, and they couldn't avoid it. They went up to the meeting and greeted her with a smile.
The palace concubine reminisced, the female official said hello, and the eunuch flattered. They smiled sincerely and seemed to be very kind to Wang Yanqing, but Wang Yanqing knew that it was all fake.
Wang Yanqing suddenly felt cold. She hates being manipulated, and hates others wantonly interfering with her fate. Now, she has become the one who can control the fate of others. Every word she speaks comes from her own heart, but she is feared by everyone, and everyone is afraid of avoiding her. Is this what she wants
Wang Yanqing asked the guards to disperse, she wanted to be quiet. The guards did not dare to disobey Wang Yanqing's words, but they did not dare to leave, so they had to stay far behind.
The sound of footsteps fell on the square brick, silently, Wang Yanqing walked very slowly, paying attention to the expressions of the people on both sides along the way.
The maids walked along the road together, and one of them smiled and said to the companion, "Your clothes are so beautiful." Hiding in the corner for a tryst, the man vowed to say how much he missed her, she was prettier than all the maids around.
Wang Yanqing thought, these are all lies. However, is it necessary to find them one by one
The world is full of lies. If the truth makes people hurt and lies make people happy, will the other party really thank her after she exposes the lies? Wang Yanqing had a clear conscience in every word, but even those who were helped by her would not welcome her.
Wang Yanqing realized that if it wasn't for Lu Heng, her ability to detect lies would have messed up her life. Wang Yanqing can use his talents with confidence because the thorns on the road have been cut off. Otherwise, the courtiers will accuse her, the concubine will criticize her, the eunuchs will violate the small actions of Yang Fengyin, and in the end, Wang Yanqing will end up not a human being inside or outside.
She was able to get to this point smoothly because of Lu Heng standing behind her back. Lu Heng showed his minions in advance, and those talents did not dare to harm her. What's more, before Wang Yanqing himself was aware of the danger, Lu Heng had foreseen the crisis and silently paved the way for her.
When she looked at the emperor, she didn't understand how the emperor could become unbelievable because of an accidental palace change, so suspicious that it was funny. The authorities are obsessed, and bystanders are clear, is it the same feeling when others see her
Although Lu Heng lied to her, his feelings for her are obviously true.
Wang Yanqing walked unconsciously in the wind for a long time, and finally her body trembled slightly before she finally recovered. Wang Yanqing stopped, called Jin Yiwei who was behind him, and said, "I'm a little tired. Please tell all of you, Governor, that I want to go back."
