Chapter 581 (1/2)
Mengxia wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve: ”I came here just for this matter. When I talked about something else with you, I forgot the business! The eldest brother built a straw awning in the old man's tent garden, and he said he was going to be there for a period of filial piety! ”
Murong Zhining sighed: ”as I expected! He took me to the throne and wanted to leave me alone! I need his help when I need his help. Meng Xia, can you persuade him back to the palace for me? I really need him... ”
Meng Xia joked: ”Oh You know you need big brother now? You admit you can't do without him? Do you know him now? I said at the beginning, big brother will never give up on you, but you have always suspected big brother's intentions and hurt his heart! ”
Murong Zhining took the table lightly and complained: ”are you OK to blame me? Who started the fight? I wish I had killed Mr. Yuan? Let's not complain about each other. We are both smart. We were cheated by Mr. Yuan's flawed plan! I can't believe anyone since I was hurt by chiyun Yuexuan. ”
Meng Xia's face was full of shame: ”I have to say that elder brother really pretends to be like that! At first, the old man could not tolerate general Huyan, but later he was afraid that I would help you to deal with the big brother. Under the big brother yuannai, he had to bear the pain and sacrifice the life of general Huyan in order to get the old man to let go of his guard. When I was imprisoned, I thought that elder brother was really crazy for power. Unexpectedly, he was to protect my personal safety. Then again, if he had not acted so extreme and concealed our eyes, how could he have deceived the old gentleman like an old fox? ”
Murong Zhining shook her head and sighed: ”how many truths are covered under the surface! Meng Xia, I'm going to disguise myself as a little maid and get out of the palace with you. I'm going to invite Mr. Yuan back to the palace myself! ” She got up and went back to the bedroom to change clothes.
Meng Xia pressed Murong Zhining and said, ”Oh, Emperor! You are the emperor of Shang and Xia now. You can't do what you want! Elder brother asked me to tell you that he also wanted to be quiet for a while and didn't want to be disturbed. Even if you see him in person, you can only see his cold face! ”
Murong Zhining frowned disappointedly: ”I forget that I am like a bird with broken wings, and will be locked in this deep palace for a lifetime! There is no justice in this world. When I enjoy power, I have to pay the price of freedom! In that case, let's both calm down for a while! ”
”Don't worry, emperor,” said Meng Xia, appeasing him. ”With me, Meng Xia will deliver messages to each other for you two.”
Murong Zhining sighed helplessly and nodded: ”at present, we have no choice but to do so! Go, you accompany me to visit the queen mother of sangrou palace. I've been so busy these days that I don't have time to ask her to say goodbye! ”
Murong Zhining's exclusive dragon shaped chariot stopped in the palace of Sang rou. She led Meng Xia to the terrace of the palace of Sang Rou: ”Meng Xia, you see, this used to be my palace. Since the fire broke out in the mother's house, the mother lived here. I've had my mother's palace renovated. In a few days, she will be able to move back to the palace. There are so many beautiful memories when she gets along with her father! ”
Xi Mei sits outside the dormitory, leaning against the door frame for a rest. She hears the movement, rubs her bleary eyes and kneels on the ground: ”see the emperor! The Empress Dowager's mother is taking a lunch break, so the maidservant will wake her up. ”
Murong Zhining raised his hand in an atmosphere: ”no ceremony! I'll go to bed myself and greet her! ”
Murong Zhining raised her legs and stepped into the door of the dormitory. She saw that the curtain in front of her bed was tightly drawn. She realized something was wrong and exclaimed, ”mother's mother...”
Murong Zhining stumbles across the curtains and uncovers the curtain. Murong Ruoyu, wearing a bright Cuizhai clothes and a nine dragon phoenix crown, lies on the bed with a smile. With charming makeup on her face and her hands folded naturally on her chest, she looks like she can't wake up, but there is a line of blood on the corner of her mouth, which is clearly no breath.
Murong Zhining let out a cry: ”empress mother...” She pulled Murong Ruoyu slightly stiff, and there was still a trace of Yu Wen's hand, crying heartily.
Xi Mei steps forward, falls to her knees and says to herself, ”how can it be possible? My mother takes an hour of lunch break every day. She can't be bothered by others. She has nothing different today... ”
Meng Xia searched around in the dormitory: ”it's strange that the doors and windows are intact and there are no obvious signs of invasion Isn't she... ”
Murong Zhining is holding back her grief. She feels an envelope under her pillow and unfolds the letter to watch. The letter was written in neat and elegant small regular script, only with a few words: ”don't be sad! The mourner is in a very happy mood, and your father and the emperor to reunite! No matter life or death, only by your father's side is the peace of mind! Yi'er is under your care. I'm very relieved! Murong is a unique language. ”
She slapped herself in the face and kowtowed: ”please forgive me, Emperor It's the maid's negligence that doesn't notice the Empress Dowager's abnormality! Before her lunch break, she asked her maid to prepare a bowl of tranquilizing soup, which was twice the dosage as usual. She said that she always had a headache recently and couldn't sleep well at night. Her maid didn't dare to give it to her until she got the consent of the doctor...... ”
Murong Zhining cried: ”no blame for you She has already decided to go The mother loved beauty all her life. She was so scared of death that she took poison before losing consciousness after drinking tranquilizing soup Mother, why are you so cruel? Father is important, but children are not? ”Meng Xia hugs Murong Zhining and soothes him softly: ”the emperor, the Empress Dowager's mother has gone so far and has not suffered any pain, so don't be sad!”
Murong Zhining cried out: ”I should have paid more attention to my mother's I didn't even comfort her well... ”
Eunuchs set up a spirit hall in Yiqian palace and carried Murong Ruoyu's body from sangrou Palace back to Yiqian palace for placement.
In the night, Murong Zhining sent Han Yi back to the temple to rest. She knelt alone in front of Murong Ruoyu's coffin and cried. Just as she was tired and about to lose consciousness, a pair of warm hands gently lifted her up and carried her to the bedroom.
