Chapter 69 Reson with the Empress

"The Empress Dowager is getting more and more beautiful, her spirit is getting better, and the white hair on her head is gone." The older shaman under the steps was full of flattery.

"Thanks to your method. I don't want you to have such ability in South Vietnam. Empress Dowager Li stretched out a pair of delicate hands and looked at the bright red delicate nails, full of smiles.

The Empress Dowager stroked herself, the more she saw her delicate face, and the original depression was swept away. It's really hard to kill that woman who wants to fight with herself. Killing her is like pinching an ant to death. In the past, she was lucky and let her run away, but now she has sent it to the door, which saves her strength.

The shaman who had just spoken handed a blue medicine cup to the Empress Dowager and respectfully opened the lid.

I only felt a smell of blood coming to my face, but the Empress Dowager was full of smile and drank it one gulp. Suddenly seeing Chu Chenyang standing at the door, Empress Dowager Li was stunned, but lowered her head and continued to drink leisurely.

"It's rare for the emperor to come to Ci'an Palace. Why did he break in without notice? The emperor has no courtesy like this. Is he dissatisfied with me? If there is anything, just tell me quickly?

"The people raised by the Empress Dowager really opened my eyes. Even the Empress Dowager dares to eat this kind of dirty thing." Even if Chu Chenyang stood far away, he smelled the blood that made him sick. Chu Chenyang was suspicious at first, but now he believes it.

Shaman originated in the Middle Land in the north and once prevailed. Later, with the northern people advocating Taoism and Buddhism, the shaman became increasingly weak. Shaman is in South Vietnam and exists in a mutated form. The continuous internal fighting in South Vietnam has also given Shaman a good opportunity to develop.

Now, only shamans can compete with saints in South Vietnam. There are not many shamans, but most of them are women who are crafty and talented and good at foreign skills. Being appreciated by the eldest prince in a shaman with few men and staying with Empress Dowager Li for so long, these two are also rare talents.

I saw a shaman wearing a golden god hat, and the hat was full of ribbons of different lengths and colors. At the back of the hat, there was a special cloth belt with a small bell and a red-purple deer skin, which was cut into snake turtles and frogs dyed black. A belt made of animal skin around his waist is covered with bells. This kind of dress is particularly conspicuous in this Ci'an Palace.

"What about this? It's just some purple river cars to nourish the body." The Empress Dowager still looks careless. After using the soup, she took a piece of meat with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

The taste really didn't look good. Empress Dowager Li frowned uncomfortably, but still swallowed it. Chu Chenyang looked at the piece of meat that Empress Dowager Li ate, as if it was still a piece of raw meat, and only felt that his stomach was churning.

"You..." Chu Chenyang pointed to the Empress Dowager, but he couldn't say a word.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. We have dealt with it and added a lot of medicinal herbs to it, which is the best way to nourish our health." Before the shaman finished speaking, he had already been kicked by Chu Chenyang.

"What are you that you deserve to talk to me?" Chu Chenyang has always been gentle, and even if he teaches the underground people a lesson, they are all slaves. Now Chu Chenyang took action in person, thinking that he was really angry.

"Presumptuous!" The Empress Dowager suddenly occupied it, and her white jade-like hands, with the bright red nails, looked particularly dazzling.

"After all, it's not my family." Empress Dowager Li looked at Chu Chenyang, but closed her eyes with some disgust and no longer paid attention to him.

Chu Chenyang looked at the cold empress dowager as usual, as if she had been used to it, and silently turned away like a child.

"Empress dowager, what's wrong with you?" M Mother Yun stood beside the empress dowager, and there was some surprise that the empress dowager was so cold. Isn't this just to clearly tell Chu Chenyang that they are not mother and son?

"Our Li family let him sit on the throne, but he still has no conscience. It's not the same whether you tell him or not, and you haven't seen his attitude towards me all the time. As long as the Li family is there, he will no longer like to see me, and he will still respect me as his mother!" The Empress Dowager calmed down and continued to eat one bite at a time.

The smell of blood almost made the Empress Dowager crazy, but she still forced herself to eat it. If it weren't for the cold constitution, how could you need to raise other people's children?

After all, it's a white-eyed wolf! If the previous emperor hadn't insisted on letting Chu Chenyang inherit the throne at that time, it would have been good to support the Ming King. After all, he was the child of the Li family. Looking at the two shamans below, a trace of coldness flashed in the empress dowager's eyes.

Chu Chenyang walked with a gloomy face, and the slave carrying the imperial grim could only keep some distance. Grandpa Ma was not there, and no one around him dared to say anything, but followed silently.

The journey from the Empress Dowager Ci'an Palace to the Zhonggong Chang'an Palace was not short, but Chu Chenyang walked step by step to slowly calm down his emotions.

I finally understand why she has always been cold to herself, why she is so close to King Ming, and why the former emperor is towards herself. Father, you have always known. After making sure that you are not so close to the Li family, you have expected it to be today.

What is your own mother? Chu Chenyang looked at the fallen leaves on the ground with some sadness. If you didn't insist on marrying Su Yao and guard against the Li family at that time, would you have ruined yourself?

Chu Chenyang walked distracted and unconsciously walked to the gate of Chang'an Palace. Chu Chenyang actually had a trace of hesitation. Su Yao, who has been ignoring and even used it over the years, she...

"Hang, emperor..." Qiu Xue saw that the emperor knelt down quickly.

"It's noon. Did the queen have a meal? Can you take a nap?" Instead of saying that Chu Chenyang is concerned about the queen, he wants to find a reason to leave.

The queen has a big belly and is extremely sleepy. I think she is sleeping. As long as she is sleeping, she can leave and run away as far away as before.

"The queen has always taken a nap after eating, but today she hasn't taken a few bites and has been leaning on the bed without resting. Originally, the queen wanted to come out in person, but the Mother persuaded her to let the maidservant come out and have a look.

Chu Chenyang snorted coldly, "What are you going to see? Have you come to see if I'm here?"

"The queen always brews ** tea in autumn. I also boiled water today and have been waiting for it. Qiu Yu sensed Chu Chenyang's sudden coldness, but he was a little panicked.

Chu Chenyang was a little touched. Have you been waiting for me? Other women will be ready to send it. Why don't you send it? Why don't you let me know when you wait so silently?

Chu Chenyang sighed and strode in without hesitation just now. I have missed too much and don't want to miss it any longer.

The queen sat beside the Ma Palace man's bed. The emperor hasn't come back for so long, and she began to be anxious.

"If you don't rest, my emperor still has to rest. I'm so poor that I don't know how to have a good rest. Chu Chenyang looked at the queen guarding by the bed, with the shadow of the purple screen window, but it was particularly quiet.

The queen got up and saluted, but was helped up by Chu Chenyang. Looking at Chu Chenyang with a tender face, the queen couldn't help but be more shy.

"The emperor didn't eat, so let's prepare."

"I don't have any appetite. Go and make me a cup of tea."

The queen saw Chu Chenyang's depressed face, but she nodded and went to prepare.

Chu Chenyang looked at the queen's back, but he was a little moved. I used to be the woman I liked. Is it my fault? Is it too late?

"After seeing the emperor leave, the queen has been guarding here, waiting for your majesty to come back." Grandpa Ma's hoarse voice came. After crying and begging for so long, Grandpa Ma is also a little tired.

Chu Chenyang came to his senses and sighed, "I have never been willing to admit it, but it is true that I failed her. I have always felt guilty about that child, which makes me unwilling to get closer to the queen. In fact, she is not wrong. It's me who is wrong.

"Why does the emperor blame himself? Although the queen has never said anything, she has been waiting for you. Why do you always think about the past?

Chu Chenyang came to his senses in a daze. Looking at the bloodless woman, he didn't know how to face it.

"The emperor doesn't have to think about it. My sister is an indifferent person and won't ask for anything. The slave was just worried that she suddenly appeared, whether she was someone with an intention..."

"I also thought that at that time, only my father could hide her and have a reason to do so. His father suddenly died, and many things have not been arranged, otherwise the Li family would not be proud. Chu Chenyang's dark and bright eyes were full of cold.

If you used to think about the Empress Dowager and the Li family, now you don't have any feelings. The Empress Dowager, the Li family and the Ming king will finally be unfavorable to themselves one day.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty..."

Hearing the weak shout, Chu Chenyang and Grandpa Ma both surrounded.

Ma Gongren's eyes were full of tears and said weakly, "I have seen you many times in my dream. Now that I can see you with my own eyes, even if I die, I will be willing!"

"Sister, don't be silly. You have suffered a lot over the years, and all of them have passed. Take good care of it first. Let's talk about it later. Grandpa Ma saw that his sister woke up and said this, but he was a little more sentimental.

"I just hope that you can be safe and sound. I don't ask for anything." Ma Gongren said and wanted to sit up, but Chu Chenyang subconsciously stretched out his hand.

"It's more important than anything to see you safe and healthy now." Ma Gongren said with some emotion, but his nose sniffed a few times, "It smells so good. Is it an osmanthus tree? When I was in the prince's mansion, I also planted a lot of osmanthus flowers in my yard. Xiaode, can you take me out to have a look?

Eunuch Ma was worried about his sister's injury, but he wanted to refuse. Looking at his sister's longing, he nodded and agreed. Grandpa Ma sat in the pavilion of Chang'an Palace with his sister in his arms. His seat was cushioned and covered her with a blanket. Then he stood aside at ease.

Ma Gongren looked at Chu Chenyang, who was sitting gently beside him, with a loving face. I have thought about the situation of mother and son meeting countless times, but it is not as good as now. Looking at the queen with tea in the distance, the Ma Gong people tremblingly wanted to take something out of their sleeves.

When he lowered his head and looked sideways, he saw a maid walking by the road with her head down and holding a heart, but the Ma Gongren became alert. Looking at the thin maid's thick arms and putting the snacks on the table, Ma Gongren hugged Chu Chenyang.
