Eyes moved slightly, Yu Wenjie asked: "Why does the mother think so?"
"Intuition." The Empress Dowager frowned: "Once Wan Shi died, Aijia could clearly feel her hostility towards Aijia, although she did nothing."
The intuition is quite accurate, Hua Chun snorted under the quilt.
"What sound?" The queen mother was taken aback.
The emperor looked blank: "I didn't hear it."
The queen mother pursed her lips, sighed and continued: "Actually, regarding the matter of the Wan family, the Ai family has some selfishness in it, so they messed up."
"What about the Hua family?" The emperor interrupted her: "It's been so long, the queen mother doesn't need to mention it anymore."
"No..." Waving her hand, the queen mother showed some pained expression on her face: "The Ai family drove everyone away just to tell you what's on their minds, otherwise this person will feel bored and feel uncomfortable sleeping and eating. Although mourning I know you don't like to hear that, but..."
Yu Wenjie frowned, and subconsciously glanced at the square quilt next to him.
The queen mother said in a low voice: "Aijia always feels that if that person knows, he will come and scold Aijia."
Hua Chun raised his eyebrows, his curiosity was aroused. The former emperor has passed away, who would dare to scold the current queen mother? What is she talking about selfishness
The emperor propped his elbows on the bed, and with a slight glance from the corner of his eyes, he seemed to be able to see countless question marks floating out of the quilt.
Forget it, he shook his head, and didn't intend to hide it anymore: "If it makes you feel more comfortable to say it, then the queen mother can say it."
With slightly wet eyes, the Queen Mother took a deep look at him: "You and Xi'er, in fact, both know what happened back then, right?"
Yuwenjie defaults.
The queen mother let out a sigh of relief, and said with a low smile: "The Ai family knew that with you and Xi'er's inquisitive temperament, you can't hide anything, but you have never embarrassed the Ai family, so it can be regarded as your filial piety. Now that the emperor is gone, The Hua family is gone, the Wan family is dead, and Hua Zhengrong's whereabouts are unknown, and the Ai family feels that the enmity seems to have dissipated."
Huachun frowned.
"Back then, the Ai family thought they could marry an ordinary person and live an ordinary life." The queen mother's voice became melancholy, and she began to reminisce about the past.
It all started when the Empress Dowager was still a young girl. Ning's daughter was named Qiu Sui, and she and Hua Zhengrong's childhood sweethearts were married early. Hua Zhengrong devoted himself to studying and wanted to get fame, but Ning Qiusui didn't want to delay him, so he waited for his title on the gold list before getting married.
As a result, when Ning Qiu was sixteen years old, the emperor's harem was short of people, and all places began to select beauties to send to them, and the capital was no exception. The Ning family's father felt that waiting for Hua Zhengrong was really delaying his daughter's youth, so he forcibly sent Ning Qiusui to the palace.
Hua Zhengrong panicked, and tried every means to ask someone to bring the letter into the palace, and asked Ning Qiusui to wait for him, waiting for him to find a way to take her out. Ning Qiu believed it when she was old, deliberately underperformed in the draft, and became a court lady. But after waiting for Hua Zhengrong for a year, he couldn't think of a way to rescue her, let alone marry a few other concubines.
This is the result of waiting so hard, Ning Qiusui was naturally angry and angry, and began to think of ways to climb up, vowing to become a master, making Hua Zhengrong regret it.
The power of hatred is great. Ning Qiu turned from an ignorant girl in a boudoir to a master of intrigues, stepping on others all the way to climb up.
She was happy, and specially invited all the officials and eunuchs to the palace for dinner. She knew he would come, so she wanted to humiliate him severely, and take revenge for being let down.
Eight years have passed, and when I saw Hua Zhengrong again, that person was still the same as before, but the outline was more obvious and thinner. After seeing her, many things flashed in his eyes, including relief, nostalgia, and heartache, but he was not surprised, but bowed deeply.
"Greetings to the empress."
At that moment, Ning Qiusui felt that he was a little ridiculous. He lived with hatred for this man for eight years, but he forgave everything just by looking at him.
Hua Zhengrong came with his wife, and that was the first time the Empress Dowager saw Wan Shi. However, she didn't make a good impression. The Wan family is arrogant and domineering, and in the Queen Mother's heart, he is not worthy of Hua Zhengrong at all.
This prejudice started because of love, and it aggravated after she gave birth to Hua Zhengrong's son, and it became more and more serious during the years she spent with Hua Zhengrong.
The queen mother likes Hua Jinghua very much, because he is Hua Zhengrong's son and can fulfill his unfinished dream for him. But the Queen Mother hates Wan Shi very much, even if she is Hua Jinghua's biological mother.
Therefore, even after the Hua family's family broke up for so long, when she found out that the Wan family was suspected of cursing the concubine, she still chose to add insult to injury without hesitation, and even sent her to hell with her own hands.
It has been more than twenty years, and the queen mother found that the obsession in her heart was not lacking at all, and she was still jealous, jealous of another person who had been with him for so many years.
"The Ai family thought that after Wan's death, the Ai family should completely let go and be relieved." Wiping away tears, the Queen Mother said in a hoarse voice: "But no, the Ai family felt very guilty and felt that he was right. But... After all, it is a human life.”
The emperor frowned, looked at his mother, but quietly reached under the quilt, and took Hua Chun's hand.
Her hands were cold, making him frown.
"The queen mother has the idea of repentance, and Wan's spirit in heaven should also rest in peace."
The queen mother was stunned, thought for a while, wiped her eyes with a veil and said: "It's not regret, if you give the Ai family another chance, the Ai family may still choose to kill her. After all, Concubine De will continue to serve you by your side. I can't leave anyone with a good identity. The Ai family doesn't know what they are guilty of, anyway, I don't regret it."
The heart that was a little confused just now was filled with hatred again because of the Queen Mother's words. Hua Chun opened her eyes, pinched the emperor's hand, exerting more than half of her strength.
According to what the queen mother said, she was the one who killed Wan Shi? Sneering silently, Hua Chun shook his head lightly. No matter what the reason is, Wan's death was under the order of the Queen Mother. This is a fact, and it is a fact that she will never forgive in her life. Under the fake and kind coat of the Queen Mother, there is her own jealousy and unwillingness hidden. It was the demon in her heart that killed Wan Shi, and no one can blame it!
"Mother." The emperor's hand was pinched, but his expression did not change. He only whispered: "You should go back and rest."
"Yes, it's time to go back." The Empress Dowager was taken aback for a moment, then restrained her expression, looked at the emperor after hesitating for a while, and said, "If possible, the Ai family hopes that you can help Concubine Wu to become a queen."
"Why?" The emperor frowned: "Because Concubine De is dissatisfied with you?"
Hesitating to speak, the queen mother shook her head: "The Ai family will not harm you. If you are a man, the Hua family will indeed be a talented Wang Zuo. But as a woman, you can't settle down in the house, but want to control the government. Such a person, sit Not high."
"My son has his own measure." The emperor said displeasedly: "You go back first."
The queen mother pursed her lips and looked at him worriedly, but she could only shake her head helplessly, got up and walked out.
Emotions hurt people, people can't judge right from wrong correctly, and they go astray without knowing it. She understands this feeling, but now, she doesn't want her son to go astray.
The door opened and closed, and the atmosphere in the inner hall was somewhat awkward. The emperor didn't speak, Hua Chun threw off the quilt and took a few breaths.
"It's exciting."
Looking at her deeply, Yu Wenjie said: "Some things, it's better not to take it to heart."
"What words?" Hua Chun wiped his face and withdrew his hand: "Did she say that she didn't regret killing my mother, or did she say that I couldn't bear it?"
"Both."
Hua Chun shook his head honestly: "It can't be done, the Queen Mother is right, I am stingy and vengeful, I will remember whoever owes me or hurts me, and I will definitely get it back one by one." .”
The emperor frowned: "That's my mother."
Look, the world-class classic question is here, right? Hua Chun curled her lips and looked at him sideways: "If your mother and I fall into the water at the same time, who will you save?"
Slightly taken aback, Yu Wenjie frowned: "After saving my mother, she can't swim."
It was really the answer of an ancient man who wasn't fancy at all. Feeling a little disappointed, Hua Chun curled his lips: "Then I don't know what to do?"
The emperor was in a dilemma, his face was ugly, and the hostility around him became more and more serious.
"Okay, I'm joking." Hua Chun waved his hand: "You don't have to worry too much about it."
"I will try my best to save the two of you." Interrupting her, Yu Wenjie said: "If I can't save you, I... will make you queen after me, and I will never have a queen in this life."
Thinking that he was going to say that he would accompany her to die, Hua Chun chuckled, the emperor is the emperor, and the greatest honor for a woman is to be crowned empress.
Unfortunately, she found it useless.
"The concubine understands, good night, the emperor."
"Aren't you happy?" he asked.
Hua Chun rolled his eyes: "Do you want my concubine to thank Lord Long En?"
No woman will be happy to get such an answer, especially when the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is completely broken. She was even a little surprised, originally thought that the emperor and the queen mother should not have a deep relationship, and even the emperor should have some resentment towards the queen mother, but he still said that he wanted to save the queen mother without even thinking about it.
I thought I had a chance to win, but I didn't expect to ask a stupid question to make myself unhappy.
Turning over and facing inside, Hua Chun fell asleep with a sullen face.
The emperor frowned slightly, looked at her for a long time, and then closed his eyes tiredly.
Hua Chun was swearing in her dream that she would neglect the emperor for a few days, even if she was making trouble for no reason, it would be fine if she was unhappy, and there was no need to force a smile on him, it would be best to make him feel uncomfortable and let him stay with her Stuck together, this is considered psychological balance.
However, when he inadvertently put his hand on the person next to him, Hua Chun woke up with a start.
"emperor?"
His body was burning hot, as if he was on fire, it must be a high fever caused by a wound infection.
Taking a breath, Hua Chun immediately called someone in, put on his clothes, followed the maid to fetch cold water, and came back twisting a towel and putting it on his forehead.
The Zichen Hall instantly became chaotic.
