Chapter 1004 (2/2)
Queen Xiande put down her book, and she was no longer in the mood to read. She stood up and went to the window to stand still. There was a rain last night, and it's a fine day today. There is no trace of the strong wind last night. Except for the plum tree by the window, the branches and leaves were blown down all over the ground by the wind and rain.
She said to herself, ”LONGYE is not peaceful either.”
Since Xie Jingxing returned to Daliang, things have happened twice. This is a kind of signal. Maybe a warning, maybe a counterattack?
Because Yongle Emperor has already started to attack the Lu family.
Aunt Tao is a female official beside queen Xiande. She has been with her since she was made queen. She has been her most loyal confidant for so many years.
Aunt Tao said: ”today, a Jing imperial concubine went to the imperial study to find her majesty. When she went there, her eyes were full of tears, and when she came out, she seemed to be very bad. The maids of Jinghua Palace said that after returning home, the empress Jingfei punished several servants and fell many things. It seems that she is in a very bad mood. ”
Empress Xiande smiles: ”the Lu family has suffered a loss and wants to test your Majesty's attitude. Naturally, they will start from Princess Jing. A few days ago, didn't Mrs. Lu go into the palace to see Princess Jing? ”
”It seems that the emperor is no longer patient with empress Jing.” Aunt Tao said, ”the empress Jingfei has restrained herself a lot from you these days. If the emperor is really attacking the Lu family, you can see
”It's up to the emperor to decide for himself.” Empress Xiande said faintly: ”it's true or false. In my eyes, I can't see these clearly. Now that I have entered the palace, I still understand these principles. ” She looked at Aunt Tao, who was worried. Instead, she laughed: ”you don't think that this palace will care about these?”
Aunt Tao stopped talking.
But Queen Xiande looked outside and said, ”since I was the queen, I didn't regard myself as a woman. The emperor's wife is not a wife, but a person who wants to share the world with him. Happiness and misfortune depend on each other, life and death together. I've never been afraid. I'm just sorry... ” She looked at her abdomen: ”this palace I didn't have a baby of my own. ”
”If it had not been for the empress Jingfei...” Aunt Tao clenched her teeth and said, in a tone of resentment and resentment, there is a pending grief.
”It's all right,” Queen Xiande waved wearily. She laughed, but the smile was a bit numb and desolate: ”it's the same with or without Princess Jing. This child can't be born in this palace.” She whispered, ”look at the harem. Who gave birth to his child?”
”No. It can't be. Therefore, although the palace regrets, the women in the harem all regret together, and the regret of this palace is not regret. At least, the palace still has this unshakable position. ” She said.
