Chapter 402: The old queen who can’t remember anyone
The next day, Liu Yunxiang found Ruan Lingyu first and handed him the copper tube that Yan Mu gave her.
Ruan Lingyu looked at the copper tube in his hand and his eyes were settled, "The Fire Qilin was developed by the orphan of the former deposed prince. The Seventh Prince can get it, which means that he knows the whereabouts of the orphan."
Liu Yunxiang had never thought about this, but she didn't care about the orphans.
"You go back to Duke Anguo Mansion and find a good opportunity to blow up the fire kirin."
Ruan Lingyu raised his eyebrows, "I lit this fire qilin and will not be able to return to Duke An's mansion in the future, which is equivalent to cutting off the road to making a living."
"I will definitely not treat you badly when you follow me in the future."
"It's only when you get the money in your hands."
Liu Yunxiang agreed with this very much and immediately took out two silver notes and handed them to Ruan Lingyu, "Do you see this price, are you satisfied?"
Ruan Lingyu took a look and nodded with satisfaction, "The boss is indeed generous, don't worry, just go home and wait and hear the sound."
After explaining Ruan Lingyu, Liu Yunxiang hurried to the city gate. There was a carriage waiting in the east, but the carriage looked too ordinary and even a bit worn. It wouldn't be the queen's carriage, right?
She was about to withdraw her gaze when the queen actually poked her head out of the carriage and waved to her.
Liu Yunxiang twitched his lips and walked towards the carriage. The driver who drove the carriage was a young man, wearing a coarse cloth, but his body was strong and his face was firm. He looked like a trainee.
Liu Yunxiang got into the carriage and saw that the inside of the carriage was as worn as it looked, and there was no place to sit. The queen pulled her over and sat with her on the wooden board.
Then the carriage ran away, creaking.
"Don't see through this carriage, it's comfortable to sit..."
When they said this, they just ran over a pit of earth and the two were pushed up.
The queen coughed dryly, "The queen is traveling too much, I don't like it, so she sneaks around every time and rides out in this inconspicuous carriage, which is also convenient for business."
"Empress."
"I am Aunt Qiu after leaving the palace."
Liu Yunxiang changed his words, "Aunt Qiu, you haven't even sold carriages in the palace, right?"
So I can only take advantage of this kind of shabby one.
"What you said, I was too anxious to use money at that time!"
Liu Yunxiang rolled her eyes, it was really sold.
"But what are we going out of the city? What are you going to help me?"
"A little busy."
"Ha, if you want to say that, I think it's better not to help you with this, so as not to cause trouble for yourself."
Aunt Qiu hugged her, "Goddaughter, my godmother begged you at that time. You must help me with this."
Liu Yunxiang turned her head and saw Aunt Qiu's rare serious look, and pursed her lips, "Then you have to make it clear, otherwise I don't know how to help you."
Aunt Qiu looked at her and quietly looked at her, as if she had seen another person through her, but when she came to her senses, she was left with only sadness and helplessness.
"I once had a daughter, Daming Wuyou, nickname Qingqing." When she mentioned her daughter, Aunt Qiu's eyes were full of love and warmth. "When she was very young, she was like a meat ball, held in her arms, soft and warm. She grinned with a smile, and saliva flowed down the corners of her mouth. Later, she grew up a little, and her almond eyes were particularly beautiful and always shining."
Speaking of this, Aunt Qiu laughed out loud, but her eyes turned red as she smiled.
"She is so cute and beautiful, she just can't talk or walk. They all say she is a fool."
When Liu Yunxiang heard this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth. She didn't expect that the queen's daughter would actually...
"When she was one year old, her swallowing ability began to deteriorate. When she was two years old, she could only drink milk. She was thin and thin. The imperial physician originally concluded that she could not live to be two years old, but I didn't believe it. I put down everything and took care of her. After a day, I finally grew to three years old. In addition to drinking milk, she could eat a little bit of food. The situation was getting better and better... On that day, I followed the emperor of the King of Chang'an to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing and handed it gently to her grandmother for her. On that day, I was always restless and rushed back to the palace early, but it was still too late."
Liu Yunxiang felt nervous and probably guessed something.
"When I saw it, her little body was already cold. Her grandmother hugged her, as if she was stupid."
Aunt Qiu, who has always been strong, couldn't help but shed tears at this moment. Liu Yunxiang hugged her and asked her to lean on her. Aunt Qiu was fragile and heartbreaking at this moment.
"I spent a month in a daze, until Qingqing's grandmother was terminally ill. His Majesty brought me to her. Her hair was all white and she was skinny and boneless. She also held my hand and apologized, saying that she had killed Qingqing and killed her granddaughter. It was only then that I remembered to ask what was going on at that time. It turned out that her grandmother was afraid that Qingqing would not be full, so she heard me say she could eat a little bit, so she fed Qingqing a little rice porridge, but this mouthful choked the child to death."
After hearing this, Liu Yunxiang sighed. Her grandmother, who is now the queen mother, just felt sorry for her granddaughter.
"I can't blame the old man, I can only endure the pain and take care of him with my clothes. Fortunately, she broke through, but since then she has lived in Ningyuan's house. No one has ever seen him. The emperor ascended the throne and personally led all officials to welcome her. She has not returned to the palace. I have also visited her many times, and at most she talked to me through a door. She has not become a monk, but she has no sense of the world. She has been living in self-blame and regret for the rest of her life. Since the previous year, she has not been very clear, can't remember things, can't recognize people, and then she has been looking for Qingqing. In order to comfort the old man, I asked a palace maid to pretend to Qingqing and take her to show her, but she said she was not her granddaughter and said I lied to her."
"The Queen Mother's health is getting worse and worse. I just thought that she can untie the knot and keep her eyes closed when she dies."
Liu Yunxiang sighed, "The Empress Dowager really loves Princess Wuyou."
"Well, I love it very much. At that time, she was in the palace and had to leave the palace to take a look at the palace every day before she could feel at ease."
Liu Yunxiang felt uncomfortable when she heard this, but then she thought, "So you asked me to help you to pretend to be Princess Wuyou?"
Aunt Qiu blinked her eyes, which were still crying, "You probably won't refuse, right?"
"Well……"
"Godmother knew you were a good child!"
Liu Yunxiang was helpless, "Don't kidnap me, I will help you, sincerely."
Aunt Qiu hugged Liu Yunxiang, "Yunxiang, my godmother is sincerely thinking that you are your goddaughter."
Liu Yunxiang thought that she had a mother, but her mother no longer recognized her. She did not complain or hate her, but she still longed for such a family affection and did not want to have an Aunt Qiu in a foreign country to make up for her lack.
Ningyuan's An was on Ningshan, ten miles outside the city. Because it was in the deep mountains, the surrounding environment was very quiet. It was almost noon that they arrived in front of Ningyuan's Anshan Gate.
A nun led them in, walked around the hall, and came to the meditation room behind.
As soon as he walked to the front door of the main room, the door opened from inside. An old woman in a brown robe and hairy head walked out. She saw Liu Yunxiang and looked at her for a while. Then she suddenly showed joy and stepped forward to grab her hand.
