Empress Lu rarely looked depressed and did not speak. She only looked up and saw that this husband in name only had done nothing by herself. She still remembered his gentle smile and thoughtfulness when she first entered the palace. Those things seemed to be in a dream.
, but it did happen. They were really in love, so she still has to rely on these memories to survive. Sometimes she really doesn't dare to think, if there were no such memories, wouldn't she be able to persist now?
But people always say that a person's memory should not be too good. The more memories there are, the less happiness there will be. Those sad past years have been tormenting her at the same time. Whenever she thinks about it, it is like being cut with a thousand knives.
My heart felt so painful that I almost wanted to die.
And my man doesn't care about anything for a woman, but what's the reality? He is doing everything for that woman, even if she is gone, her son is still there.
The emperor slowly raised his eyelids, "Has the queen not thought it through? Or does she have other concerns? There are no outsiders here, and you and I are husband and wife. If you have anything to say, just say it."
This was really beyond her expectation. Could the emperor be playing tricks on him?
Empress Lu looked at him seriously for a while, "Since the Emperor said this, I really don't understand something I want to ask the Emperor. As the saying goes, a couple's kindness lasts for a day, and besides, I am still my wife.
A few years ago, the emperor suddenly ignored everything and left everything to the concubine and the children who were not sensible yet. Over the years, the concubine has gotten better and the children have grown up. What makes the concubine happy is the emperor.
I also started to get involved in court affairs, but I don’t understand. Is there something I did wrong that made the emperor so dissatisfied with me? Or does the emperor feel that I have done something wrong with the second and ninth sons?
Favoritism? Back then, Lao Jiu was injured on the horse and his body was weak. He couldn't work too hard now. He and Lao Er were the only ones left among the princes. The concubine didn't dare to make any rash decisions, so she kept asking Lao Ji to do it.
Jiu took good care of himself, for fear that he would be tired. Moreover, he had to travel between court and court. Concubine was afraid of hurting Lao Jiu's body due to these things, so he never let him interfere. Others did not understand Chen Concubine's painstaking efforts.
, I don’t have to worry about it, but if the emperor doesn’t understand my painstaking efforts because of this, I will really feel sad.”
The emperor's face remained motionless as he sat on the chair, but his hands on the chair were held tightly. "The queen is overthinking it. Lao Jiu is not young anymore, and I am not partial to him. It's the queen who thinks I shouldn't let Lao Jiu."
Come out to do something?"
Empress Lu looked at the man in front of her quietly. He did it so obviously, but he seemed to have done nothing. Sure enough, the most ruthless emperor was, but all the emperors were not ruthless, but gave all their love to others.
Thinking of this, I felt as if a big hand was pinching my neck, "Is the emperor still blaming me for what happened back then? I can swear to God, I really didn't do that thing."
Even if I had the courage, I would not dare to do such a thing. Over the years, the emperor has seen that I treat my concubine like a stranger, and I dare not feel bitter in my heart. After all, the departure of my sister made the emperor sad.
But for such a charge, I still have to defend myself when I see the Emperor today."
You mean it’s not true? After all these years, when I see her like this, I still can’t help but get angry. It’s this daughter who caused her beloved daughter to die early, but she still looks aggrieved.
Telling her that she was wronged in front of her will only make her disgusted with her.
As for saying nothing, this is even more ridiculous. The mother and son used the power in their hands to think of various ways to humiliate Lao Jiu all day long. Fortunately, Lao Jiu had the perseverance to endure hardships, otherwise how could he survive?
Come here, not to mention he is still a prince, even if an ordinary man has endured what he has suffered, he may not have the face to face everyone in front of him, how determined is he?
Seeing that the emperor sitting on top was silent, Empress Lu was a little confused. She would not be afraid if the emperor spoke. It was this feeling of silence that made people want to jump out of their hearts, which made people go crazy.
"Your Majesty... But what did I say wrongly? I have never been able to speak. Otherwise, the emperor would not have wanted to look at me over the years. If there is something wrong in what I said, the emperor should not take it seriously.
, In fact, the emperor is here, and I am relieved. After all, my identity is here, and it is not good to control Lao Jiu. Now I can finally let go of this heavy burden. As for the marriage that the emperor said, I was anxious to give it to you at the beginning.
When Lao Jiu was going to get married, he was thinking about the second eldest brother's marriage and was holding back. Little did he know that later on, Lao Jiu fell in love with Li Ningfu. My concubine had always doted on Lao Jiu, so she gave him the job.
Concubine Ping, the marriage of the second son to the first concubine has been postponed like this, so just now the emperor said that the wedding will be held the day after tomorrow, and the concubine said that time is a little tight, and it is not too late to wait for the second son to come back from the south.
, I also had everything ready at that time.”
Calculating the time, she always had enough time to get rid of the second girl in Liu Shangshu's house. Empress Lu secretly made a decision that such a woman who was not helpful to her son would never marry her son.
This person, even if she is like Empress Lu, pretends to be respectful on her face and talks in all the right ways, but she doesn't know that the other person has always been suspicious of her, and she is the only one who still thinks so.
Not noticed.
Fenghuang tilted his body and leaned into the chair, looking indifferently at the dignified but vicious Lu in front of him, why did he fall in love with such a woman back then?
Thinking back to the first time I saw her, she was still a young girl. How could she become so vicious? Is it really my fault? No, how could it be my fault?
If she hadn't been suspicious and harmed her beloved pet, how could she have actually taken the person into the palace in anger? If she hadn't let people do it secretly time and time again, how could she have slowly
Are you not going to her yard?
He became a stranger to her because she pushed him out with her own hands. I couldn't blame anyone else, but when he looked back at her, he always looked resentful of himself, as if he owed her something.
What do you owe her? As the king of a country, she is the only queen in the harem, but she just takes one more look at others and then harms her. Such a woman is not worthy of his love.
But I really want to thank her. If she hadn't done this, I wouldn't have met the woman I loved for the rest of my life. That woman who was as light as an orchid and as quiet as a plum blossom would always have a calm face in my memory.
She smiled brightly and never saw an unhappy or sad look on her face.
But such a woman was harmed by the evil woman in front of her, and she became a loner from then on. She hated herself, how could she not hate her, hating this woman didn't mean that she couldn't do anything to her, but that she also allowed her to do something to her.
Live in pain forever.
At this moment, after hearing her defending herself and even saying that she was uneasy and taking her reasons so naturally, a nameless fire suddenly ignited from the bottom of her heart.
I still want to save some face for her, but I don't want her to think that the emperor is a fool. It's disgusting.
"Huh, queen, you should understand that you can't argue with your words? What you said is not exactly the same as what I saw. I also have a few words to ask you. Why did you marry Lao Jiu to a woman with a well-known reputation in the Eastern Jin Dynasty?
Queen, don’t tell me that you were deceived. You were deceived. The second son has been interfering in court affairs. What can be hidden from his eyes? Could it be that he did it intentionally? So, I really want to
Ask him what he means? How can the majesty of the royal family be tarnished like this?" Fenghuang looked at her coldly, "Queen, remember, this is the Western Jin Dynasty, and I am the emperor. No matter the queen is really doing it for Lao Jiu's good,
, it doesn’t matter if it’s a lie, marrying a woman of unknown reputation for Lao Jiu is an insult to the royal majesty of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the Queen or Lao Er is the sinner.”
After saying these words, Fenghuang secretly made a decision. He would have to ask someone to re-investigate this matter later. Although he already knew everything clearly, he just wanted to make the woman in front of him feel uneasy all day long.
I need to make some noise.
Empress Lu had a cold look on her face and didn't dare to move. She didn't expect that the man in front of her would say it bluntly. It seemed that he really didn't care about the relationship with her husband. He didn't love her at all, so he just changed his face.
It's normal to change your face.
"Okay, since the queen is not ready yet, let's prepare slowly. We will wait until the second child comes back from Jiangnan to talk about the wedding. But don't say that I didn't warn you. Don't think about any evil thoughts and plant your own seeds.
You have to eat the consequences of your actions. I just want the queen to understand that I am not confused yet." Fenghuang stood up, his tone was cold, but his expression looked like nothing was wrong.
Empress Lu smiled lightly and said, "I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."
As she watched the people go out, Queen Lu did not take away her cold gaze for a long time. It was not until her son came closer that she withdrew her gaze, lowered her head and walked up without saying a word, and sat on the chair.
Today's trouble was caused by myself, so let me solve it by myself? And I have to do it perfectly. During this period, I will resolve my son's marriage as soon as possible.
"Queen" Feng Guran saw her mother sitting alone in a daze, and it took a long time before she spoke.
"Ran'er, you go to the front hall. The Ai family heard from the palace people that your father announced that Lao Jiu will enter the palace. I think there is something going on. You go and have a look. It will be better to be prepared. As for going to the north, there is such a good thing.
He actually took it, but don't worry, the soldiers will not like a master who is a loser who can't even ride a horse for a long time, and they know who is their real master."
Feng Guran also thought the same way. Seeing that the queen was not confused yet, she nodded, "Queen, don't take the marriage matter to your heart. Children and ministers can achieve great things without relying on women."
After preparing for so many years, is it possible that I really want to marry Lao Jiu? I will never allow such a thing to happen.
