The little princess frowned, stopped and bowed her skirts.
"Caiwei has met the imperial brother!"
Guo Kun choked up loudly and said: "Sister, you are here. Do you still call me Emperor Brother? Do you think I look like an emperor? I am a prisoner. Is there an emperor like me in the world?"
Guo Caiwei frowned and looked at Guo Kun and said, "How much wine did you drink, brother?"
Guo Kun shouted: "My brother doesn't want to drink either, but how can I relieve the pain in my heart? How can I relieve my worries? I can only drink. When I get drunk, I forget everything."
Guo Caiwei said: "What's the use? It's just self-deception."
Guo Kun wiped the tears on his face and sneered: "I don't know that I am deceiving myself, but I can only deceive myself and others. Everything is thanks to your good husband. Sister, you came well, this time
I'm afraid you are the only one who can save my brother. You must help him, otherwise he will die."
Guo Caiwei frowned and said, "Where is mother? I'm going to see mother."
Guo Kun said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, go see mother and discuss it together. Sister, if mother knows that you are coming, I am afraid she will be very happy. Mother has been talking about you every day these days, and today she is looking forward to having you here."
.Hurry, hurry, come, lead the way to the Queen Mother's room."
Guo Kun spoke excitedly and incoherently, and loudly ordered the maids and eunuchs around him. The maids and maids agreed one after another, and more than a dozen people carrying lanterns surrounded the brother and sister and went straight to the residence of the Queen Mother on the east side of the apse. Soon everyone arrived.
In the courtyard of Dongchun Pavilion where the Queen Mother lived, on the corridor in front of a lighted room, several palace maids were standing there looking at everyone with uncertain expressions.
Guo Kun walked over quickly and shouted loudly: "Mother, mother, Caiwei is here, Caiwei is here..."
A palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to salute Guo Kun and whispered: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... The Queen Mother is asleep. Your Majesty, please don't wake up the Queen Mother."
Guo Kun said angrily: "Go and report it. If Caiwei is here, the Queen Mother will naturally wake up."
The palace maid looked embarrassed and whispered: "No, the Queen Mother didn't sleep. The Queen Mother just..."
"You bastard, are you asleep? One moment you say you are, and the next you say you are not. Are you dizzy?" Guo Kun yelled.
Guo Caiwei said from the side: "Why did the emperor scold her? It must be because my mother doesn't want to see me."
"Mom doesn't see you? Why?" Guo Kun said in shock.
Guo Caiwei sighed and did not answer Guo Kun's question. She just walked to the door curtain, slowly knelt on the ground, and said softly: "Mother, Wei'er has come to say hello to mother. Caiwei is not filial.
Mother, please don’t be angry with Caiwei.”
No one around them dared to speak, and the courtyard was silent. The summer insects in the flower beds in the courtyard were chirping, adding to the silence around them.
Guo Kun also understood a little. The Queen Mother has been complaining about Guo Caiwei's unfilial piety these days. At this time, she didn't even come to the palace to help with advice. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth. So now that Guo Caiwei is here, she disappears behind closed doors. But Guo Kun
He knew in his heart that complaining was just a complaint. Both he and the Queen Mother knew that now, I am afraid that only his sister could help him, so her coming was the great savior. If the Queen Mother turned the girl away and the girl left in anger, then
It was really self-defeating.
"Queen Mother, Weier is kneeling outside the door. Don't be angry with her. Isn't she here? She also has her own difficulties..." Guo Kun spoke up to smooth things over.
A coughing sound came from the room. It was the coughing sound of Queen Mother Shen Akui. Guo Caiwei called out: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
The Queen Mother's angry voice came out: "Why are you pretending to care about me? You are probably wishing that the Ai family would die. For so many days, you haven't even seen each other. What are you doing here now? Your brother and I are being raped. When the prisoner is imprisoned here, you are indifferent. What is the use of having a daughter like you? It is in vain that I love you so much and spoil you so much. I have given birth to a good daughter. Haha, your father's spirit in heaven knows that you are so filial to me. , I’m afraid there will be no peace.”
Guo Caiwei's face turned pale, her heart was cut like a knife, and tears flowed from her eyes. Ever since she was a child, had she ever received such words, and had she ever been scolded by her mother like this? It was obvious that the Queen Mother wanted to use these words to tear out her heart. How could she not care about the life and death of the Queen Mother and her brother? After the incident happened, Guo Caiwei called Shen Tan to ask about the situation. She knew that she could not interfere with other things, but she could do something about the health and situation of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Interfering, she demanded that Shen Tan ensure the safety of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and not neglect food and service.
During the days when the Queen Mother was making trouble, she was also anxious and worried about the Queen Mother's health. But she also knew in her heart that her mother was making trouble for others to see, and she was definitely not going to go on a hunger strike. So she endured it for two days. If only for two days If her mother still refuses to eat, she will intervene. In short, Guo Caiwei has tried her best to pay attention to her mother and brother. But on that important matter, Guo Caiwei is powerless. Because she knows that this time, her mother and brother Her brother had indeed gone too far. She could not help them regardless of right or wrong, which would also be unfair to her husband. So she could only remain silent and remain silent.
Entering the palace today is actually a very unwise act. A more sensible move would be not to enter the palace to see her mother and brother. But Guo Caiwei really can't do this. Her husband is about to return to the capital. Before that, , she must do something. Her mother and brother still don’t know the seriousness of the problem, maybe they are still in the dark. If they continue to make trouble like this and refuse to give in, things will become extremely bad. For my mother and my brother , and for her own sake, she had to go to the palace to see them. But as soon as they met, she was showered with such insulting rebuke from the Queen Mother, and the grievance and discomfort in Guo Caiwei's heart suddenly burst out.
"Mother... please don't say that to Weier. Weier can't bear it. Weier's life was given by her mother. If she feels that her daughter is unfilial, she can give her daughter's life back to her mother. Don't be angry." A broken body is the worst thing a daughter can do
It's a big sin. Weier has had enough of being caught in the middle. Weier just wants to live a peaceful life and has never thought about having to take on these things. It would be better for Weier to die and let it all be over." Guo Caiwei knelt on the ground. Tears streamed down his face, and his body trembled with grief.
Guo Kun was startled and said hurriedly: "What did the sister say? What about life and death? Mother, please listen and don't blame the sister. Is this going to kill someone? Mother, let her go in and talk. This What kind of system does universal emotion form?"
Shen Akui was frightened after hearing what Guo Caiwei said. She only focused on venting her emotions, but forgot that Caiwei was in an embarrassing situation now. The resentment in her heart should not be spread on her daughter, she is completely innocent .It can be said that he and Guo Kun were involved. Besides, we still need to rely on her to mediate the rest of the matter, but we can't force her like this.
"That's all, I can't even say a few words to you. Kun'er, come in and talk to your sister."
Guo Kun quickly agreed and stepped forward to comfort Guo Caiwei. Guo Caiwei was immersed in a sad mood and could not calm down. The maid beside her helped her up. Guo Caiwei leaned on the maid's shoulder for a long time before she calmed down, wiped away her tears, straightened her clothes and entered the room. .
Shen Akui didn't sleep at all. She sat neatly dressed on the couch and stared at Guo Caiwei with red eyes as she came in. The moment Guo Caiwei came into the room, Shen Akui also shed tears and fell to the ground. Hugging Guo Caiwei, mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
Guo Kun stood nearby, watching the two women hugging each other and crying endlessly, smacking his lips and frowning: "Mom, sister, now is not the time to cry. Sister is here, let's just discuss countermeasures." .In this current situation, we must find a way to break the situation."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother stopped crying, wiped her tears and said: "Kun'er is right, crying is useless. We have to find a way. Weier, come and sit on the couch. Let's find a way together. Or... you today Have you already thought of a way to come to the palace?"
Guo Caiwei sighed, looking at her mother and brother, she couldn't help but feel sad. At this time, they were still thinking about breaking the situation and coming up with countermeasures. They were really stubborn.
"Mom, brother, I defeated the Jurchen army and Wanyan Agu died. My husband and his team are on their way back to the court and will return to the capital soon." Guo Caiwei said softly.
"Ah?" Guo Kun, mother and son shouted at the same time, the expressions on their faces became ugly.
"Did he...defeat the Jurchen army? Is Wanyan Agu dead? Oh, this is...this is really...good news. Of course it should be this result. I know he will definitely defeat Wanyan Agu. Yes, who can be his opponent? Hey!" Guo Kun stammered and said incoherently. Logically speaking, this is exciting good news. As the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he should jump for joy. But the tone in which he said this was full of disappointment and regret.
"Lin Jue is coming back? Doesn't that mean... your brother and the Ai family are about to lose their lives?" Shen Akui murmured.
