C957 (1/2)
In the Queen's bedroom.
Duan Chengxuan sits alone, and mother GUI, who has been gone for a long time, delivers tea and cakes to him as if nothing happened. The Empress Dowager leans on the side of the bed and looks at Duan Chengxuan for a long time, but doesn't hear the son who comes to visit, or can't help but ask, ”Chengxuan, why do you think of linger now?”
”Don't the mother know?” Duan Chengxuan has a gloomy face and a pair of sword eyes are a little angry at this time. Just sitting on the chair with his back straight will bring a chill to people. The hands with clear bones hold the cup tightly in his hands, and you can hear the clicking sound of the cup which is too heavy.
The Empress Dowager's face changed, but she was not sure whether Mingyan had told him everything.
On the other hand, mother GUI stepped forward: ”Your Highness Prince Jing, the Empress Dowager's mother is always planning for you. You still have to think about this princess ling'er's business...”
”Here, it's not time for you to speak to mother GUI.” Duan Chengxuan's eyes were awed, and mother GUI's body trembled. She looked white and bowed her head to say nothing more.
It is rare to see Duan Chengxuan talking to mother GUI like this.
After all, the Empress Dowager raised her spirit, raised her body slightly from her bed, and her turbid eyes began to clear up, staring at Duan Chengxuan: ”since you already know, why do you want to stick to what happened in those days today, no matter how yunqi or linger, they have already entered the yellow spring early.”
What did the Empress Dowager say to Gu Mingyan?
Although Duan Chengxuan didn't know anything about it, he still couldn't bear to ask: ”since ling'er is dead, I want to ask for a corpse to be buried on the side of the tombstone of Shifu and Shiniang, why not?”
”Chengxuan is so open today. Isn't it Gu Mingyan who wants to find something from ling'er's body?” The Empress Dowager's eyes narrowed slightly, and the essence of those eyes could not avoid Duan Chengxuan's eyes.
The mother, who once looked kind and heartless on the surface, now looks very strange. She doesn't even bother to maintain her mother's appearance. Duan Chengxuan's heart is mixed for a while, but she also knows that there are two words of cause and effect in the world.
It's not that the Empress Dowager is becoming cruel, but that's what she always is.
The mother and the son are facing each other. Duan Chengxuan's lips are covered with a smile that is just the same as Gu Mingyan's. His eyes are getting cold: ”even so, how can the mother stop me?”
”Your Highness Prince Jing, the queen mother is your biological mother!” Mother GUI could not help shouting.
Just this shout made Duan Chengxuan realize that what she had done now was bluff. With a smile on his face, Duan Chengxuan loosed the broken cup and sprinkled the pieces and dust of the cup. He said in a loud voice, ”my mother has always been very good to Chengxuan, and Chengxuan will not do anything beyond it. But what my mother did in those years, I'm not afraid of your brother's reply today.”
”Even if he wants revenge, he has to think about the chips in the hands of the mourner.” The Empress Dowager sneered coldly, and lay on her side on the bed: ”in those days, you were in charge of Mingyan's business together with the mourner. The business of burying the white bone and yellow amulet was just for the emperor's relief. How can you not expect that the two sons of the mourner's family are now blaming the mourner for a woman, which really makes the mourner feel cold.”
The thin inner garment is only covered with a coat, but the Phoenix hovering over it is as proud and arrogant as the Empress Dowager now looks, just like Duan Chengxuan saw when he was young.
At that time, the mother and empress were still fighting in the harem. They protected their brothers from the uncertain father's hands, and won one victory after another from the women who made the stumbling block in the dark, and then took the blood of the loser into their belly, or as a stepping stone.
Therefore, in those days, the father preferred his mother to the empress, not yunwan, who might bring him immortality.
