Si Tian Guan - Chapter 177

    Cicada noise suddenly sounded overhead, making Qu Chenzhou stop.

    He hadn’t found where the little thing was hiding, so two little eunuchs hurriedly moved the ladder and came over, knelt down to salute him, and climbed on the ladder up that tree.

    Qu Chenzhou watched the little **** climb down and beckoned, a little guy with black body and thin wings appeared in front of him, already dead.

    The little **** looked at him a little disappointed, and hurriedly said: “If Qu Sitian likes it, the servant will catch the live one another day, and then make a cage and send it to you to play.”

    He smiled and nodded, watching the person walk away.

    A long time ago, he also raised one.

    Still in Qisheng Building, when he was washing clothes by the well, he flew into his arm and rolled into the laundry tub.

    He panicked, and hurriedly wiped the soaked cicada with the corner of his clothes.

    There is something to accompany him close to his heart, this kind of happiness makes him excited for a long time, his cheeks are red.

    But it only took so long, when the cicada chirped from his body, he was just brought into the wing to meet the guests.

    His blood dripped on the flattened cage, so dirty that he always thought that cicada’s blood was also red.

    At this time last year, Chongming saw that he was in a daze listening to the cicadas, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and climbed up the plane tree, grabbed a few and played with him.

    Before daybreak, they went under the tree to dig a chia monkey that has not yet grown up, put it on a gauze tent, and the two huddled together, watching the chia monkey in the early dawn, Split back.

    The cicada that has just climbed out has soft and transparent wings, and it has transformed into a look that can flap its wings and fly high.

    Qu Chenzhou withdrew his gaze, smiled slightly, and walked down the learning trail.

    Now that he is in charge of Xiaoying, he naturally does not need to be trapped in a small garden for a walk like before. In addition to divination, he also has many official chores every day.

    It was inconvenient for the deputy generals and clerks to enter the palace all the time, so he left the palace at Wei Shi and Shen Shi the next day and went to the Xiaoying station. Now that he came back at this time, he was in time for dinner.

    A team of Jin Wuwei passed by the school trail, stood still, and when he came close, they all straightened up: “Qu Sitian!”

    Qu Chenzhou nodded and motioned them to continue.

    He didn’t care about Jinwuwei, but the thirty-five people who were absent that day were poured for seven consecutive days, and half of them were so drunk that they even vomited blood, including Ding Lekang, everyone talked to him The voice dropped twice, as if afraid of scaring him.

    Go past this gate, and in front of it is the Pavilion of Stars.

    His foot had already entered the threshold, and he pulled it back again. In the corner of his eye, someone turned the corner, less than a hundred paces away—the timing of his return was so well calculated.

    In his current capacity, he only worships the emperor in the palace, and even when he sees the queen, he only needs to bow his hands, but he knelt down to the person who came.

    “Chen Qu Shenzhou, I have seen the Queen Mother.”

    The queen mother was on crutches in one hand and supported by her father-in-law in the other, nodded and smiled at him, and slowly entered the star-viewing pavilion.

    He brushed the hem of his clothes and got up and followed behind.

    The queen mother had already sat down at the table, and father-in-law Xi led someone out and closed the door.

    Qu Chenzhou stood by the table with his hands down, looked out the door, and said softly: “Sometimes I disturbed the Queen Mother in the middle of the night, and the Queen Mother Xie took her asylum. “

    “I won’t say polite words,” the queen mother looked at him with a smile: “Come and sit, we don’t have much time.”

    She had said it so clearly, Qu Chenzhou brought the tea cup and saucer over and sat down at the table.

    The queen mother looked at him and laughed lightly: “Qu Sitian is so calm that he didn’t take the initiative to speak, but made me look at you even more, and almost believed what you said before.”

    “It turns out that the queen mother doesn’t believe in ministers,” Qu Chenzhou got up and poured tea for the queen mother, and asked softly: “Then why did the queen mother come to find ministers today?”

    “Does Qu Sitian remember what he said to me that day?” The queen mother did not answer him, and asked, “If I tell the emperor what you said, what do you think?”

    “It’s just death, but the queen mother didn’t tell the emperor,” Qu Chenzhou reminded calmly: “You should know that we don’t have much time, and you have less time.”

    She glanced at the door, the door was just hidden, leaving a gap, the sunlight on the ground like a needle, pierced the soles of the two people’s feet, like something alive, to be smooth It was like climbing up on his feet.

    “The death of Concubine Tang had nothing to do with me at that time. I was pregnant at that time and didn’t have much energy to take care of the harem, so the first emperor pointed Concubine De to assist.”

    The Empress Dowager sighed faintly: “The Concubine Vi died suddenly, the Tang family refused to rest at that time, and the first emperor also punished the murderer. I really didn’t expect that they would take anger on me.”

    Qu Chenzhou slightly changed her statement: “It’s not anger, but they think it’s you behind the scenes. The German concubine’s status was only below you at that time, and it’s only you who can make a profit. .”

    “Concubine De has no children, so I don’t even bother to argue with her. The truth of the past is unknown now.”

    The queen raised the tea bowl, her heart was confused, and she couldn’t drink a sip: “The first emperor was sympathetic to the Tang family and kept Tang Xilan in the palace. In the future, it must be promised to the prince as his wife, but he is actually raising a tiger. afflicted.”

    She glanced at Qu Chenzhou: “You said that Tang Xilan used the convenience of traveling in the palace to attack Yuan’er? Who told you?”

    “Miss, I rely on the sky to eat, I don’t need anyone to tell me.”

    Seeing the empress dowager’s eyes full of suspicion, Qu Chenzhou answered with certainty: “The Tang family is best at private house insidious tricks, Tang Xilan is ten years old, what do you not understand? But in the eyes of others , she was still a child, no one would have thought, what she would do.”

    “Niangniang, think back, you protect Your Highness day and night, guarding against open guns and dark arrows, have you ever guarded against Tang Xilan? Also a child, when Tang Xilan was playing with His Highness, someone kept staring at His Highness and eating what?”

     No one can figure it out.”

    The hand holding the teacup trembled.

    Qu Chenzhou slowed down his voice, and bit by bit knocked those cracked suspicions to pieces.

    “Niangniang, the Tang family did these things not once or twice, not one or two people, not even one or two generations.”

    “Even if you ignore foreign affairs, do you really not know what the Queen has done in the palace these years?”

    “Remember Tan Hanlin’s second daughter, who died violently before marrying the Lin family, because the queen did not want to see the Tan Lin family marry.”

    “Don’t tell me from a distance, Concubine Xian… Can’t you see it?”

    The Empress Dowager’s breathing became rapid: “Why?”

    In fact, she can think of the reason, because Tang Xilan and Yuaner are too different in age, and she has to go out of the palace to get married without waiting for Yuaner to get a concubine.

    As long as Yuaner is alive, Tang Xilan will never be the queen.

    “Your Majesty… Your Majesty…” She tried hard to keep her voice from trembling so much: “Does Your Majesty know? Back then I lost the source, and the emperor’s biological mother was gone… Isn’t it a coincidence? …”

    “Sorry,” Qu Chenzhou lowered his eyes: “I can’t know everything.”

    The queen mother changed her words: “After you entered the palace, did the emperor let you see me?”

    Qu Chenzhou corrected: “The emperor did not let me see you.”

    The Queen Mother closed her eyes, unable to hide her tiredness.

    “I started to feel weak and weak over the years. At first I thought it was just because I was getting old. It was Xiao Xizi who was attracted to me and found something wrong.”

    “The queen’s soup, I can’t drink more, but if I don’t drink it, it will be very empty.”

    “The emperor’s filial piety seems to want me to live longer.”

    She gave up all resistance, and the words that had been in her heart for many years finally had a place to talk to.

    “Even if you don’t say it, I have long thought about it, Yuan’er’s death is probably related to the Tang family.”

    “Now I understand, no matter whether the emperor participated or not, he must know, so he dare not let you see me.”

    “He kept me alive, because of what Tang Xilan did, I was a lever for him to threaten Tang Xilan, right…”

    Qu Chenzhou pursed his lips, looked at the shaky eyes of the old woman, and said softly, “My condolences to the Queen Mother.”

    The queen mother suddenly drank half a cup of tea in one breath, dipped the handkerchief on the corner of her eyes, raised her head and asked, “Qu Chenzhou, where are you standing? What are these things for? For whom?”

    “Miss, we don’t have much time,” Qu Chenzhou said again: “I say these words, for me, for myself, and for you, you have always wanted to know truth.”

    “I don’t want to do anything, I just remind you of the current situation. It is impossible for King Qi to come back. King Jing pushed me up. I have some money empty.”

    The Queen Mother’s throat tightened: “You mean…”

    “The queen mother has lived in the harem for a long time, and her body is slightly ill. I don’t know that the things of the previous dynasty can be forgiven. But since you have set your eyes on the queen, don’t you know that the emperor has handed over the military power of Shili Pavilion to Shili Pavilion. Ning Wang?”

    “I can’t think of a second.”

    The deep meaning of this is that the scale in the emperor’s heart has been skewed.

    The Queen Mother no longer spoke, but her fingers twisted the handkerchief uneasily. When she spoke, there was a slight trembling in her voice.

    “Qu Sitian, you follow the emperor, what does the emperor think?”

    “The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, sorry, I’m not sure, but I just heard that Prince Ning recently encountered some troubles when renovating the Shiliting garrison, and the emperor is on his side.”

      Only then can that son of a **** Mu Jingzhao be prevented from ascending to the throne!”

    Qu Chenzhou also stood up and replied softly: “How dare I support the Queen Mother, and I really don’t know what the Queen Mother can do, and to what extent, I just want to tell you… “

    He took a step closer.

    “I have been divination for you since you entered the door, but there is no way – no matter which way you go, you will only die.”

    “You’re right, you’re running out of time.”

    The queen mother was not as surprised as she thought, and her face was calm: “Who did it?”

    “I can’t see it, it’s not clear, it means that anyone is possible, the only constant is that from the time you set off to see me, you are doomed to be unable to escape.”

    “How much time do I have?”

    “Within three months.”

    “It’s been long enough,” she smiled sadly: “I’ve lived in confusion for all these years, and I’ve lived long enough.”

    The door closed, Qu Chenzhou also sighed softly.

    “The queen mother only asked you this?” Emperor Yu asked with a frown.

    “Yes.” Qu Shenzhou knelt under the steps.

    Not long after the queen mother left, he just opened the bowl of dinner, and was hurriedly announced.

    “What did you say?”

    “Returning to the emperor, please let me bluntly say that the queen mother is very eager to seek medical treatment, so she came to ask the minister.” He lowered his head and replied calmly: “The minister only knows divination, Peeking into the unknown, I don’t know anything about the past. The queen mother didn’t believe it, she asked the minister repeatedly, and when she saw that the minister really didn’t know, she left.”

    Yu Di hummed.

    Qu Chenzhou kowtowed again: “There is one more thing, before the Queen Mother left, I ordered the minister to make a divination, and asked the emperor to forgive the sin of the minister.”

    “What hexagram?”

    “Death hexagram,” he replied softly: “There is nothing else, just death hexagram.”

    The room was quiet, and after a long time, Emperor Yu waved his hand: “Go.”

    Qu Chenzhou got up, stepped back slowly, and asked softly: “Your Majesty, if the Queen Mother finds another minister another day, what should the minister do…”

    “Go.”

    He could only exit the door and let out a small sigh of relief. Before he could turn the corner door, someone grabbed him.

    “Small boat!”

    His heart skipped a beat, and he was pushed into the corner by the man until his back was against the wall, and then he replied, “I have seen Prince Ning, is the prince going to leave the palace?”

      Miss you.”

    Qu Chenzhou pulled out a hand, separated the two of them by a distance, and said softly: “Someone will pass by here in a while, so that people can’t see it well, another day the minister will go to the prince’s mansion to find you .”

    Ning Wang took a few steps back with a smile.

    Qu Chenzhou glanced at him and asked, “The prince entered the palace today, was he scolded by the queen again?”

    Speaking of this, Mu Jingzhao collapsed.

    “Don’t mention it, those people in Shiliting don’t listen to me, especially the one surnamed Song, who does one thing in front of him and another behind his back. , I know that I scold me, but I don’t even think about it, this is my first time…”

    “The tail is too big to fall, and it is not easy to lead troops. The prince can take the time to ask General Bai and Commander Bo, they must have a better way.”

    Suddenly his eyes lit up and he pulled the Qu Shenzhou.

    Qu Chenzhou pursed his lips and smiled: “I can have any good ideas, but it’s just a cruel word based on the emperor’s favor.”

    “ruthless?” Mu Jingzhao was puzzled: “What kind of ruthlessness?”

      Enough.”

    The author has something to say:    The separate life is coming to an end.
