Chapter 85 Unexpected Military Power
The next day, there was a light rain in the sky.
Li Rongrong lay down** and stared at the already empty bedding beside her. I don't love you, so I will never touch you. On the day of the wedding, Xia Kang still heard what she said. He really did what he said. Although he had been married for a few days and stayed in the room every day, he had never been a husband and wife.
Under the service of the maidservant, Li Rongrong dressed up. In the Luan mirror, tears stained the rouge. Li Rongrong lay in front of the mirror and cried aggrievedly. This made the maidservant who served her kneel on the ground immediately, not knowing what she had done wrong.
"The Queen is here."
Li Rongrong hurriedly wiped her tears and tidyed up her appearance, but she was still seen by Queen Yun, who had just come in. Queen Yun looked at the maidservant who was kneeling on the ground: "What's wrong with the princess?"
"back, back to the queen, slave maidservant, slave maidservant I don't know."
Queen Yun's eyes drooped and said lightly, "You go down first."
"Thank you for your grace."
"You all go down. I want to talk to the princess alone."
"Yes."
Before Li Rongrong entered the palace, she heard that although the queen held the phoenix seal, she led the six palaces. However, her nature is extremely quiet. She either recites scriptures and worships Buddhas in the Fulu Hall or reads tea in the Queen's Hall every day. Even the concubines who have lived in the deep palace for a long time rarely see Queen Yun.
"Why did you cry? Who bullied my princess?" Queen Yun took Li Rongrong's hand and sat down by the bed.
"I..." Li Rongrong's face was blushing. Did she want to tell the queen that she cried aggrievedly because Xia Kang didn't touch all her? How can she say such words?
After all, Queen Yun is an experienced person. Looking at Li Rongrong's shy face, she said softly, "I am also an experienced person. What can't I say to this palace?"
"Empress..." Thinking of the days of marriage, Xia Kang was so indifferent to her that she burst into Queen Yun's arms and cried for a moment.
After Li Rongrong cried out all the grievances in her heart, Queen Yun asked softly again, "But is it because of King Kang?"
Li Rongrong nodded and couldn't help choking, "I, I... still, still... perfect."
Queen Yun frowned slightly and was still perfect. So after a few days of marriage, Xia Kang has never touched Li Rongrong: "Do you know the reason?"
"I... I once heard her call Ling Yue in her dream." Li Rongrong's eyebrows became more and more angry, "He, he likes that fox charming son."
It turned out that Xia Kang liked Murong Lingyue, and Empress Yun sighed in her heart: "Rongrong, don't tell anyone about this."
"Why?"
"If you say that everyone knows that your husband likes Qinghe Princess, how can you be ashamed?" Queen Yun held Li Rongrong's hand tightly and said, "If his heart is cold, you can cover it slowly, and one day it will be covered by you."
"What if it's not hot?"
Queen Yun smiled faintly and said, "Although her teeth are strong, they can't beat the softness of their tongue. Believe in yourself."
"But, but..." Li Rongrong lowered her head and said nothing.
"But what?"
"I...I like His Royal Highness."
"What?" Queen Yun didn't expect Li Rongrong to say that.
"I'm sorry, I know this is against women's morality. But I don't know why I seem to like the prince, but I can't let go of His Royal Highness, Empress. Can you tell me what Ronger should do?
"Forget the dust." Queen Yun said, "You have become the princess of King Kang, and you are destined to be with him in this life."
"But..."
Empress Yun interrupted Li Rongrong and said, "This is the palace, not the prime minister's mansion. Not to mention that you are the imperial concubine. Even if you are in this palace, as long as you take a wrong step, you may be doomed. So, forget about Chener, not to mention that Chener already has someone she likes.
"I know, it's that fox Meizi. Why, why does everyone like her, His Highness likes her, my husband likes her, why, why? Li Rongrong doesn't understand that she is a hundred times better than Ling Yue in terms of beauty. In terms of family background, she is the daughter of the prime minister. But why does the man she loves like Ling Yue?
"That's all I can say to you, Rongrong, remember what I said to you."
As soon as she walked out of the room, Queen Yun saw Xia Kang standing outside with her eyebrows tightly. Presumably he heard what she had just said. Queen Yun made a gesture to Xia Kang to follow me in order not to let Li Rongrong in the room know.
Walking to the side hall, Queen Yun retreated the maid of honor, but Xia Kang still frowned.
"Do you like Princess Qinghe?"
Xia Kang nodded without denying it.
"Because you like Princess Qinghe, can you hurt the heart of another woman so calmly?"
"She doesn't like me." Xia Kang said coldly, "She likes Lao Qi. In this case, what's wrong with me to complete her?"
"I always thought you were a beautiful child, but I never thought you would be trapped."
"Beautiful chest? Queen, you said that I'm just a humble concubine. How can I say it with a beautiful heart?
"I just want to tell you that if you really want a country, treat Li Rongrong well, otherwise you won't get anything at that time."
"I'm surprised why you, as a queen, say such a thing to me. In the future, it must be the prince you gave birth to inherit the throne, and no matter how bad it is, he is the seventh who doesn't care about anything. Xia Kang put his hands behind him and said, "Empress, you seem to have said this to the wrong person."
"I am willing to support you to ascend to the throne." Queen Yun looked fierce, changing her usual gentleness and virtuousness.
Xia Kang was shocked why Queen Yun said this to herself: "You..."
"I know that you are very confused, but Yan'er is... destined not to become emperor."
"Why?"
"This palace can't tell you."
"Even if the prince can't inherit the throne, there is still Lao Qi. Is it possible that the queen wants to tell me that Lao Qi can't inherit the throne?"
"That child must not become an emperor, no." Queen Yun's expression was a little distorted and seemed to be suffering a lot. "I only hope that you will be the emperor in the future and treat the dust well."
"Wait, I'm confused." Xia Kang couldn't understand Queen Yun's words at all.
"I know that you can't believe my words for a while, so I will give you these two things." Queen Yun took out two exquisitely carved ink jade from her sleeves.
"This is..."
"Yes, this is enough to mobilize 500,000 soldiers, the Dongfang family and the Ximen family." Empress Yun handed the military charm to Xia Kang and said, "I don't know what will happen in the future, but if Chener unfortunately becomes emperor, I hope you can raise your troops."
"Empress, you..."
"I know you have a lot of questions, but that's all I can say to you."
"I want to know the reason."
Empress Yun laughed and said, "You can't know this reason. What you need to know is that this palace will support you to ascend to the throne. No, maybe I can't wait for that day."
"Can't wait?"
"You will understand soon."
Looking at the distant back of Queen Yun, Xia Kang actually felt a little desolate. She is the queen who leads the six palaces. Why does she look so lonely? Holding the warm charm in his hand, Xia Kang suddenly became a little confused. There are too many things that make him unable to think. He must go to the mirror and mention his military division at that time.
After listening to Xia Kang's narrative, even the always resourceful mirror was at a loss. According to common sense, how could Queen Yun give up her two direct princes and support Xia Kang instead? However, these are not the key points in Jing Wuying's eyes. What he cares about is the sentence Queen Yun said: I can't wait for that day.
Since you want to support Xia Kang to take the throne, why can't you wait for that day? That kind of words is clearly the last words.
Is it not long before Queen Yun knows her fate, so who will be the person who wants to kill her? Who else can kill the queen of a country besides the emperor?
"No shadow, what the hell is going on? Can you help me think about which one the queen sang?
"This is indeed a little complicated. Why did Queen Yun give you 500,000 military power? There must be something strange about this." Jing Wuying wiped the soft sword and said, "Moreover, I don't think the queen's last words to you have a deep meaning."
"That sentence? You mean she can't wait for that day?
Jing Wuying nodded and said, "Yes, I can't wait for that day, that is to say, Queen Yun felt that she seemed to die. Either she is ready to think about it herself, or someone wants to kill her. I guess the latter is more likely.
"Someone wants to kill Queen Cloud? The emperor is the only one who can kill the queen. Is it the emperor who wants to kill her?
Jing Wuying put down the soft sword and said, "I'm not sure about this, but I think the reason must have something to do with the queen's desire to support you."
