The Queen Mother said calmly, as if she and Shangguan Dongzhu were not sworn enemies, but rather strangers.
There is no hatred, but there is no familiarity either.
After all this time has passed, it seems that there are not so many irreconcilable conflicts between the Queen Mother and Shangguan Dongzhu.
Nowadays, even if one person is the queen of women in the world, the other one is reduced to a prisoner.
But in the end, all that's left is sadness.
After all, the two of them are just weapons used by that person.
"Yes, from the day I was named queen, I thought that this position would be mine. But in the end, it was all in vain."
There was some regret in Shangguan Dongzhu's tone, but Lin Mengya felt that it was more like she had been freed from a nightmare.
Perhaps, the Shangguan family, this royal palace, is just a dream for Shangguan Dongzhu and the Queen Mother.
A dream in which their paths have been destined since birth.
"You are Shuqing's child, right?"
Shangguan Dongzhu turned his head and landed on Lin Mengya.
She nodded lightly, but she felt that Shangguan Dongzhu was asking questions knowingly.
"Hahaha - a big dream! Just a big dream!"
Shangguan Dongzhu suddenly laughed so fiercely that she started coughing until her face turned red and then she calmed down slightly.
But the light in those eyes was even darker.
"You guys should go out first. I have something to say and want to talk to this child alone."
The Queen Mother was a little worried. After all, she knew all about the grudge between Shangguan Dongzhu and Lin Mengya.
But her intuition told Lin Mengya that the former queen must know a lot of secrets.
Just give the Queen Mother a look to reassure her.
Ask Bai Su to take the Queen Mother and Aunt Jinyue out. Soon, she and Shangguan Dongzhu were the only ones left in the room.
Under the dim light in the room, Shangguan Dongzhu's slightly flushed face looked a little sick.
Lin Mengya knew that the medicines Princess Tiancheng fed her had already damaged her roots.
That's why Shangguan Dongzhu still looks like a normal person now. Maybe it's just the remnants of the former Queen's own tricks.
"I envy your mother."
Shangguan Dongzhu's voice was very soft, and he seemed to be stuck in the past of his youth.
"When she married your father, I had just given birth to Lin'er. At that time, although I was the middle palace, I was also I am very lonely. Those ladies only know how to please me, and every concubine in the palace is eyeing my position. In order to protect my children, keep my status, and defend my mother clan, I have to fight.
Go grab it. It wasn’t until I met your mother that I realized there was another way to live in this world."
Lin Mengya once heard a saying that all bad people seem to have their own last resort.
But these last resorts cannot be the reason for them to do bad things.
Maybe what Shangguan Dongzhu said is right. For those honors, she must leave behind a woman's timidity, gentleness and compassion.
But after all, she brings misfortune to others.
Therefore, it was her own fault that she became what she is now.
"Originally, I thought she was an orchid in the empty valley. She was very beautiful, but lacked a noble background. But later, I discovered that all the noble ladies who were once proud of their appearance and manners were dazzled by her.
It was covered up by the light. It wasn't until she confessed her identity to me that I realized how ridiculous I was. She is actually a princess of a country. No wonder she is so outstanding and makes people feel ashamed."
Shangguan Dongzhu seemed to want to express what he had been holding back for many years.
Lin Mengya could only listen quietly. Anyway, it was her mother who was being praised. Even though she felt a little bored, Hayworth couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart.
"I really want to make friends with her. She is so beautiful, kind and intelligent. She seems to be able to see through all the illusions in the world. I regard her as my only confidant and friend. You may not know that as your brother
When she was born, I was happier than anyone else. But in the end, she still died in my hands."
Lin Mengya watched Shangguan Dongzhu laugh and cry sometimes, and she couldn't help but feel a little cold in her heart.
No matter how nice Shangguan Dongzhu's words are now, her mother's life will eventually be ruined in her hands.
I just didn't expect that Shangguan Dongzhu would suddenly cry very sadly.
Looking into her eyes, there was only deep sadness.
"I really don't want to harm her, but your mother cried and begged me that she must die. My child, I didn't mean to harm you. Before Ah Qing came here, I warned her that she must never
I treated you brothers and sisters harshly. I even thought about bringing you all into the palace to raise you. But I never thought that A-Qing, A-Qing, would be so cruel. My child, after all, I am the one who is sorry for you."
Lin Mengya's eyes were already filled with a bone-chilling chill.
.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly, revealing a sneer.
"You are not sorry for us. What you are sorry for is just my mother's intention to treat you as a best friend. Even when Shangguan Qing passed by, you still had some kindness towards us brothers and sisters. But these things, between you and your two
Under the torment of the children's ambition, it has already disappeared, right? You took advantage of my father's absence to give me to Long Tianyu. We both know what your intention was. So now, you don't have to use it anymore
These hypocritical words are used to excuse yourself. I only want to ask you one thing, what do you want to say to me?"
With tears in his eyes, Shangguan Dongzhu looked at the woman in front of him with a slightly strange look in his eyes.
Although the appearance is very similar, the character of the woman in front of her is much colder than her mother.
Slowly wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she was right, her behavior now would only make people feel ridiculous.
Slowly she put away the sadness on her face, and revealed the indifference and elegance she had as a queen. .??.
After all, it is a mask that has been maintained for decades, and now it can no longer be taken off.
"I hope you can let my children go. I know that what they did is as unforgivable as mine. But I also beg you to save their lives at the last moment. You can abolish it."
Their identity has even ruined their appearance, but please, please let them live well."
Lin Mengya knew that the former queen would never tell her about her past grudges without any reason.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Shangguan Dongzhu with a bit of cruel mockery in his eyes.
"What are the conditions? I never want to let go of your children. If you want them to live, you must at least offer suitable conditions in exchange, right?"
Lin Mengya looked businesslike and was not affected by the so-called past events just now.
Shangguan Dongzhu sighed and then said quietly.
"You probably don't know who the leader of the Candle Dragon Society is, right?"
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and looked at her. Even though she knew that Shangguan Dongzhu and Zhulong would have an affair, even Qinghu didn't know the secret of the leader. How could Shangguan Dongzhu, a woman who lived in the deep palace all year round, know?
Shangguan Dongzhu took an object from his neck and placed it on the square table in front of her.
"You must also know that Ru'er gave me a lot of medicine. If it were an ordinary person, he would have gone crazy because of the medicine. The reason why I haven't taken it now is because of this thing."
Forest Mengya picked up the object with some suspicion and found that it was just a turquoise-like cylinder.
When I looked closer, I could smell the fragrance in my nose, and my mind suddenly became clear.
In the Shennong system, a name automatically popped up.
"The magical brew can keep people awake no matter what the circumstances."
Just scratch it lightly with your fingernail, and soon there will be a scratch on the bead. But it will recover automatically soon.
According to the Qingzheng genealogy, the origin of this object is unknown, and only extremely rare stocks have been handed down.
Although it is only as big as a fingernail, it can be used for hundreds of years without dissipating.
No wonder Shangguan Dongzhu was not affected by the drug at all.
"This is the heirloom of our Shangguan family. When it was handed down from our ancestors, it was larger than this. Later, when I entered the palace, my family was afraid that someone would murder me, so they secretly handed this thing to me. Maybe it was because
This is probably the reason why everyone in the Shangguan family is crazy. When the leader found me, it was because of this thing."
Lin Mengya looked at the fairy brew in her hand with some surprise. The leader is fine, why do you need to use this thing?
But then, Shangguan Dongzhu looked hesitant and talked about her meeting with the leader.
"It was when I just entered the middle palace, a little palace maid secretly told me that she had a way to help me retain His Majesty's favor for a long time. At that time, several concubines relied on their own
His Majesty wanted to take my place in his favor. I agreed at a young age at that time. Sure enough, half a month later, those women were either crazy or too sick to sleep with them anymore. I found the little palace maid
, and asked her if she had done it. But the result I got was that the little palace maid had passed away a few months ago. I thought I had encountered a ghost, so I didn’t say anything. Until one night, the little palace maid came again
Appeared in front of me, and this time, she brought several people."
At that time, Shangguan Dongzhu had not yet developed an iron-blooded heart.
When the rumored dead person appeared again, she was really frightened.
But when the little palace maid explained that she was just using this identity to do things, Shangguan Dongzhu's racing heart was finally relieved a lot when she disguised herself.
But later, when the little palace maid coerced her into meeting the master behind the scenes, she couldn't help but be shocked despite the courage of Shangguan Dongzhu.
"The man was wrapped in a black cloak. I didn't see his appearance clearly, but I saw those eyes. Pure black, like the color of hell."
