Queen Mother Yu's expression changed again and again.
The idea of "killing Xie Mingxi first" was too tempting. She could hardly restrain this strong impulse.
However, Xie Mingxi was damn right.
She wants to be the Queen Regent, but she must not do such outrageous things. She can kill people with a borrowed knife, she can calmly add fuel to the flames, and make the concubines kill each other. But she can never do it herself!
Xie Mingxi's bright and sharp eyes were fixed on Empress Dowager Yu, taking in the flickering gloomy expression of Empress Dowager Yu.
The heart that was raised high quietly fell back to its original position.
She had torn off all the masks of Queen Mother Yu and forced her into a corner.
Under such circumstances, Queen Mother Yu still did not have the courage to sink the boat. It can be seen that Queen Mother Yu still cared about her own identity and face, and was unwilling to fight to the death.
After thoroughly understanding the thoughts of Queen Mother Yu, Xie Mingxi became more and more calm: "Actually, the only mistake Queen Mother made was to call us and my wife back to the capital."
"Sheng Hong has no ambition to aspire to the throne, and I have no interest in the phoenix chair in the Jiaofang Palace. We live happily and comfortably in the quiet corner of Shu, and we don't want to return to the capital at all."
"We don't care if the dragon chair is replaced by someone else. If the queen mother wants to serve as regent, we won't stop her. But the queen mother wants to plot against us and her husband and drag us into this quagmire. Why is this!"
Queen Mother Yu's eyes dimmed, wondering if she regretted her "unnecessary move".
Xie Mingxi stood up, and under the bright candlelight, her beautiful face seemed to shine: "What I said tonight is known to God and earth. You know it and I know it. Even to His Highness, I didn't mention it a word.
.”
"I hope the Queen Mother will think carefully about how to end this."
"It's getting late, it's time for the queen to rest. My daughter-in-law is leaving!"
Queen Mother Yu tightly grasped the porcelain bowl in her hand.
At this moment, Zhilan's deliberately raised voice sounded outside the door: "I have seen His Highness the King of Shu."
Sheng Hong is here!
Queen Mother Yu held the tea bowl's hand tightly and slowly released it.
Xie Mingxi also felt extra at ease and at ease in her heart, raised the corner of her mouth slightly, opened the door and walked out.
Sheng Hong, dressed in feudal robes, was standing a few meters outside the door.
The handsome young man who used to be so heroic and handsome in the past has become as steady as the mountains and the abyss as he grows older. He is indestructible and unstoppable.
"Mingxi," Sheng Hong's eyes contained eagerness and anxiety: "Are you okay?"
Xie Mingxi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll have dinner with the queen tonight and chat with her for a long time. The queen is tired, I'll come back to stay with her tomorrow."
Sheng Hong nodded slightly, and when Xie Mingxi came forward, he immediately held Xie Mingxi's hand.
The moment his hands clasped together, Sheng Hong secretly shuddered.
Xie Mingxi's palms were sweating and felt cold.
I wonder how thrilling the confrontation between her and Queen Mother Yu was just now. Fortunately, he arrived in time!
Xie Mingxi glanced at Sheng Hong and smiled lightly: "Let's go back to Fulin Palace together."
…
After burning incense, the couple returned to Fulin Palace.
The palace maids and chamberlains all left.
Sheng Hong hugged Xie Mingxi with great force, as if to strangle her into his arms: "Mingxi, we discussed this on the road before. After arriving in the capital, you must obey me in everything and don't act rashly. Why are you going back on your word?"
, I fell out with my mother on my first day in the capital!"
"When I was in the Yiqing Palace, I was tripped by Mr. Lu Ge, Mr. Li Ge, and others, and I felt anxious. Fortunately, I arrived in time. Otherwise, the Queen Mother would have become so angry that she would have had someone take action..."
The more Sheng Hong talked, the more scared he became.
No matter how good Xie Mingxi is, she is still at a disadvantage in the palace.
Empress Dowager Yu has been operating in the palace for many years, and she has huge power and many people. If she had taken action regardless, Xie Mingxi might not have been able to escape safely tonight.
In front of Sheng Hong, Xie Mingxi no longer had to act "awe-inspiring", "calm and unhurried", and "knowledgeable". She sighed helplessly: "This move is straight to the point, it is indeed dangerous."
"It's just that if you don't use color or give your mother a blow on the head. Just a word of filial piety, she can suppress you so much that you can't even lift your head. Do you really have to be a puppet on strings and be at her mercy?"
"If we want to save people, we have to do it according to our thoughts and pace!"
Sheng Hong's brows furrowed even more tightly, and his tone was rare and stern: "Even if I have to resort to violence, you don't have to rush in front. Mingxi, listen, you can't put yourself in danger again in the future."
Xie Mingxi, who was in her arms, raised her head with bright eyes: "Sheng Hong, you want to protect me behind you and not let me suffer any wind and rain. My heart is the same as yours."
Just two words made Sheng Hong's whole body tremble, and then his eyes turned red without much manliness.
He hugged Xie Mingxi tightly and pressed her cheek closely. He murmured in a low voice: "Mingxi, Mingxi."
Like a child who had just learned to speak, he called her name over and over again. Other than that, he couldn't say anything else.
The corners of Xie Mingxi's eyes were also a little hot. She put her arms around his neck and whispered, "I'm here."
It has been nearly ten years since they met. They have been married for more than three years. Their affection for each other has slowly accumulated over time. Up to now, they are connected by flesh and blood, like one body, and it is difficult to separate them.
Xie Mingxi is different from ordinary women. Her temperament is not docile, nor is she affectionate. Compared with Sheng Hong, who is deeply affectionate, she seems so unfeeling and indifferent.
Only in critical moments can we truly see her heart clearly.
Fierce, fiery, willing to do anything for the one you love regardless of risks!
Just like he did to her!
Sheng Hong wanted to laugh heartily and cry heartily. In the end, he still hugged Xie Mingxi tightly.
…
After a long time, the two people's emotions calmed down a little.
Xie Mingxi did not hide anything. She recounted the confrontation with Queen Mother Yu and told Sheng Hong every word she had said. Xie Mingxi had an excellent memory and she really did not miss every word.
As Sheng Hong listened, he seemed to see a verbal exchange between Xie Mingxi and Queen Mother Yu. He was quite frightened: "You speak so sharply and meanly, you are just deliberately trying to anger the Queen Mother."
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed and she whispered: "Everything is just speculation between the two of us, and there is no basis for it. If I don't make my words harsher, how can there be any clues in my mother's palace?"
Sheng Hong sincerely praised: "You are so humble. The words you said are not only mean and unpleasant, they are simply heartbreaking!"
Xie Mingxi accepted Sheng Hong's praise without politeness: "If you give me a prize, please give me a prize!"
Sheng Hong: "..."
Sheng Hong raised his head slightly, looked at Xie Mingxi's beautiful and calm face, and smiled helplessly: "That's all, I've said it all, the queen mother is also completely angered. Let's discuss the countermeasures."
