Chapter 14 Truth

Shen Xuanji returned to Weifu and rarely became absent-minded. She accompanied Mrs. Ye and helped take care of Yulang in Xuanxi Hall almost every day. From time to time, she sat distracted, and the needle and thread in her hand made frequent mistakes. Mrs. Ye was astute and sent everyone else out this day. A pair of eyes looked deeply at Shen Xuanji, "Say, what's the matter?"

Shen Xuanji couldn't hide it. She didn't want to deceive her grandmother in the bottom of her heart, so she told all about meeting Xue Zhen that day when she went up the mountain on the night.

Seeing that Mrs. Ye was a little unhappy, Shen Xuanji hurriedly knelt down, "I know this is not polite, but at that time, at that time..."

"At that time, the ninth prince was sad and fragile, and you were soft-hearted, didn't you?" Mrs. Ye asked.

Shen Xuanji acquiesced. Mrs. Ye sighed for a long time, but stopped asking, but just said to herself, "The Empress Dowager's illness is very serious..."

Xue Zhen, the ninth prince, still found a gap to invite the emperor to the "Shou'an Hall" and let him see the situation of the Empress Dowager with his own eyes.

The emperor was shocked and looked at his mother on the sickbed, and his eyes turned red. "Mother, why are you so seriously ill?"

The Empress Dowager smiled helplessly, and her heart was full of disappointment, but she still had to comfort him, "When you are old, how can there be no difficulties. The emperor, why are you free to come here today?

No matter how dull the emperor was, he could hear that it was irony and his face turned red. He is indeed very busy these days, but not for state affairs: Princess Li sent ten girls from the south to enter the palace, all charming and charming, as graceful as water, and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. With great joy, he deeply felt that Li Guifei was not jealous. It can be said that it was his interpretation flower, and it was not good to forget the old love when he had a new lover. Therefore, he has been busy contacting them these days. How can he still remember his seriously ill mother?

The emperor did not answer the Empress Dowager's words and coughed awkwardly. He looked around to find a way down the steps. He saw a little maid like bean sprouts, holding the empress dowager's medicine bowl tremblingly, so that everyone could sweat for her.

"Ridiculous!" The emperor made a great power, "Who sent such a palace man? The road is also unstable. How can you serve the Empress Dowager well?

The Empress Dowager sneered in her heart. Since she fell ill, everything in the palace was up to Li Guifei, and he still came to ask such nonsense!

The palace people of the "Shou'an Hall" knelt on the ground and fought with fear. The emperor may also feel that what he said was a little ignorant, but he thought that Li Guifei was so understanding, not jealous, and could not bear to question her, so he had to stand on the ground and forcefully find a compensation for her. "Mingly, the Empress is a good lady, but it's a bad thing for you slaves!"

He was so angry that he did not say goodbye to the Empress Dowager, and shouted all the way to "Klew all the slaves in the palace!" The ground is gone.

Xue Zhen was looking at the decoction in person in the porch in front of the palace. Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, he quickly knelt down and said, "Father, if they are all killed, won't the Empress Dowager be unserviced?"

The emperor's wisdom has not been completely extinguished. Hearing this, he finally remembered that he had found a competent eunuch and personally selected a group of capable palace people to replace the current batch of "Shou'an Hall".

Xue Zhen was quietly relieved. First, no matter whether the servant is reliable or not, now there is a servant.

When it was time to turn on the light, the Empress Dowager took the medicine. Seeing that Xue Zhen was still standing by the bed, she urged him, "I'm fine. Go back quickly. The palace gate will be the key later."

Xue Zhen did not leave, but sat on her feet in front of her couch and said disapprovingly, "I won't leave if I give the key!"

"Are you not afraid that she will give you eye medicine in front of your father now?" The Empress Dowager is funny.

"What am I afraid of? Anyway, my ninth prince is notorious. He entered the palace by breaking through, and he refused to return home after the key of the palace door. Xue Zhen waved his hand and said, "Besides, I refused to marry that day, and today I changed her person, regardless of her face at all. At this time, I'm afraid she hates me very much. With her nature, the more she is at this time, the less she will care about these little things.

The Empress Dowager nodded after thinking about it, "You can see through it."

Xue Zhen smiled bitterly because he saw through it a lot, but if he could choose, he would rather not see it clearly all his life.

The Empress Dowager touched his hair, and he suddenly raised his face and his eyes were shining. "Grandma, last time you asked me to marry a daughter-in-law earlier. Now, I really want to marry a daughter-in-law!"

The Empress Dowager was speechless and pointed to Xue Zhen and said anko, "You are also a prince. Don't scare other girls like this!"

"No!" Xue Zhen waved his hand solemnly, "She is so bold!" ......

The day Mrs. Ye was summoned to the palace, there was heavy snow in the sky. Shen Xuanji added a silver fox jacket to her and took it off when she got out of the car.

Mrs. Ye looked at her and stopped talking.

"Shou'an Hall" has been a little more regular these days. Mrs. Ye was taken by the palace people and came to the empress dowager's couch.

Looking at her, she was also shocked. The Empress Dowager was a little helpless, "You all look like this, but I can't live."

"What did you say?!" Mrs. Ye's eyes were wet at once. Among the girls of her generation, only the empress dowager is a top person, with extremely high appearance, talent and vision. The most rare thing is that she is tenacious, agile and calm. When she entered the palace, she was just a treasure forest. Step by step, she went to the concubine, Zhaoyuan, concubine and wife. Finally, when the former emperor died, she helped the emperor to the throne.

To say modestly, Mrs. Ye herself is also the best among women, but compared with the Empress Dowager, she still feels that there is a big gap.

Such a good woman will fall into such a field once she is careless. Mrs. Ye said secretly.

"Okay, don't cry." The Empress Dowager angrily threw the veil on the pillow to Mrs. Ye, "I asked you to talk to me, but you cried endlessly."

Mrs. Ye was a little embarrassed and took the veil to dry her tears. The Empress Dowager has an uncompliable temper and came straight to the point, "My Jiuer likes your eldest daughter. What do you say?"

Mrs. Ye was almost choked to death with a breath of cold air. She didn't expect the Empress Dowager to be so sharp at the beginning and pretended to be stupid, "Huh? Jia'er and her father have been stationed in northern Xinjiang all year round. How did the ninth prince meet him?

"Pretrate it for me!" The Empress Dowager seemed to smile, "It's Miss Shen!"

Mrs. Ye is also a person at home, but there is no power in front of the Empress Dowager. After being embarrassed for half a day, she finally chose to say bluntly, "Empress Queen Mother, please forgive me for being old and confused, and I only have children and grandchildren in my heart. To say something disrespectful, you are a heroine, and yet..."

She secretly looked at the Empress Dowager's face and saw that she was not angry, so she said, "The child Xuanji is straightforward. I'm really afraid that she can't cope with it."

After saying that, she lowered her head and closed her mouth, and there was a faint idea in her heart. Whether it was thunder or rain and dew, she was willing to take care of it. It's enough to break a baby in this golden cage. You don't need to put on Xuanji again.

Mrs Ye waited for the Empress Dowager to be angry, but the Empress Dowager nodded, "I'm selfish and only care about my grandchildren." She sat up and took Mrs. Ye's hand. "Jiu'er is the flesh on the tip of my heart. I think it's the same for you to that child."

Mrs. Ye suddenly felt grateful and said, "It's just that there are some things. After so many years, I haven't mentioned them to anyone. Now my days are running out. I think you should know about Yin'er. ......

Mrs Ye didn't remember how she returned to the Duke of Anguo Mansion. She looked pale and collapsed in ** as soon as she entered the room. What's going on?" Qingqi hurriedly held it and was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.

"I'll call Miss Shen!" Mo Hanjing, thinking that Ye Dongyu was pregnant and "Linlang Pavilion" recently, his voice has gone out.

Shen Xuanji heard that he came in a hurry, and Yingluo and Coral also followed him to the "xuanxi Hall".

Mrs Ye had already slowed down a little at this time, leaving Shen Xuanji in the inner room, but let Yingluo and Coral go back, and did not want Qingzhen and Mohan to serve.

When Shen Xuanji saw that she looked different in the past, she was also shocked, "Grandma, but what did the Empress Dowager say?"

It's okay that Mrs. Ye didn't listen to this sentence, and she cried "wow" as soon as she heard it. Shen Xuanji was even more scared and at a loss. Since she defected, the old lady Ye she saw has been stable. Although she doesn't care about anything, she is the real backbone of the Duke of An. What can make her collapse and cry like this?

When she knelt on the ground and hugged Mrs. Ye's knee and almost cried, she suddenly heard a sentence. The words rumbled in her ear like thunder, making her whole body shake.

Mrs. Ye said, "Your aunt was killed!"

Shen Xuanji raised her head in a dague. She couldn't believe it. What did her grandmother say just now? What does it mean that an aunt was killed? Didn't my aunt die because of her infirmation after giving birth? After his death, he also enjoyed mourning and was posthumously awarded as a "virtuous concubine" and buried in the royal underground palace as a noble concubine. Why did grandma say she was killed?

"Who killed my aunt?" Shen Xuanji asked.

Mrs. Ye had calmed down slightly at this time. Although she was sad, after all, Wei Yin went early. At this time, it was better to know the truth than when she died. Mrs. Ye thought that if she had known from the beginning, she would have been in pain.

Her sadness has all turned into anger, "This bitch's family, over and over again, is it true that there is no one in my family?"

She looked at Shen Xuanji lying on her knees, who looked very much like her mother and a little like the virtuous concubine Wei Yin. They were all the same white skin and big eyes. Counting Shen Yingluo, the most difference between the four people was the look in their eyes.

Wei Yin's eyes are like a girl with a good temper and upright heart since she was a child. Who would have thought that she was poisoned by traitors because of her simplicity and kindness; Wei Li is more lively and refreshing than her sister, and her eyebrows are free and easy. The bottom of her heart is like a diamond, so she is willing to accompany her husband and never abandon her son-in-law; Shen Yiluo is actually better than her sister More like his mother, combined with Shen Mingyuan's appearance, he looks the most cold and elegant.

And Shen Xuanji, Mrs. Ye looked into her eyes and wanted to see her heart, but found that she could not see it clearly. Her eyes are like a lake, as if they are pure and thorough, but she never knows what is hidden underneath.

"Shenji," Mrs. Ye reached out and touched her hair. "If your grandmother asked you to go to a very dangerous place, would you blame me?"

Shen Xuanji is very smart. Thinking about the cause and effect, it is clear for the moment. She stood up and smiled at Mrs. Ye, "Grandma loves me in her heart. As long as she is away from the Anguo Mansion, I'm afraid she will feel very dangerous."

"If I want to, a person is born with a road to take. As long as he takes the road he should take, no matter where the end goes, it doesn't matter whether he is fierce or dangerous." ......
