After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 199 Mother
Maybe they were all women, and not only Shangguan Jing, but also Xiao Mingrui were the ones who felt sorry for the Su family.

After Xiao Jingheng and Shangguanjing entered the side hall, she seemed to have aged several years, sitting slumped on a stone bench in the courtyard of Shou'an Palace.Her waist bowed down, her face was buried in her hands, she seemed to have lost all her strength, and she struggled even to move.

"Ma'am!" The captain-in-law sighed and supported Xiao Mingrui's shoulder: "Ari, don't do this."

"Our Xiao family is sorry for her." Xiao Mingrui didn't raise his head, his voice trembled slightly, with a strong crying sound: "I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it..."

Xiao Mingrui blamed himself very much.In fact, she had known about the matter between the emperor and the Su family for a long time, and she also knew that Xiao Jingheng was the emperor's son, but she never expected that the truth behind this incident was so dirty.

As a woman, Xiao Mingrui understands Su's pain and helplessness, and feels remorse for it.

"If I had known...if I had known... maybe I could..." She was so sad that she could hardly speak: "When I didn't intend to break it, the queen mother only said..."

Empress... Xiao Mingrui suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the main hall of Shou'an Palace.

"A Rui?" The captain-in-law looked at her worriedly: "You..."

"I'm going to visit the queen mother." Xiao Mingrui stood up quickly, walked towards the main hall, and told the captain-in-law behind him as he walked, "Don't follow, I have something to say to the queen mother."

The captain consort stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to grab Xiao Mingrui, but his hand finally stopped in mid-air.He looked at the direction Xiao Mingrui was leaving, and finally heaved a heavy sigh.

When Xiao Mingrui approached the Empress Dowager's bedroom, the old lady was still sad for her grandchildren, lying on the couch, her eyes were red from crying.

"You go out first." Xiao Mingrui gestured to the maids and eunuchs standing beside him, and the maid in charge of Shou'an Palace immediately lowered her head and led the people away.

Seeing that Xiao Mingrui cleared up people after entering the door, the Empress Dowager thought that there was something important to discuss with her, she asked with tears: "What does the Emperor say?"

"The Minister of the Ministry of Rites is still in the imperial study." Xiao Mingrui sat on the chair beside the soft bed, looked at the empress dowager with red and swollen eyes: "I came here for other things."

"What's the matter?!" Seeing Xiao Mingrui's appearance, the empress dowager couldn't help feeling tense: "Is it because the fifth prince concubine is not safe? Tell the empress, no matter what, we must keep the great-grandson of the Ai family."

"Empress mother, don't worry," Xiao Mingrui replied, "The Fifth Prince's Concubine is very well. I came to tell empress mother that Su Clan is dead. She burned herself to death in Huaiyang Palace."

The empress dowager was taken aback for a moment, and then her face sank. She threw the handkerchief to wipe her tears aside, put one hand on her forehead and closed her eyes. Okay, it's clear."

Seeing the appearance of the Empress Dowager, Xiao Mingrui understood it.She lowered her head, and while arranging the silk sash around her skirt, she said in a light tone: "The queen mother is not feeling well these few days, so I didn't tell the queen mother. A few days ago, I actually took Heng'er to see Mrs. Su." Woolen cloth!"

"What?" The empress dowager opened her eyes immediately: "When did it happen!"

"Just before Heng'er entered the palace." Xiao Mingrui replied while carefully observing the Empress Dowager's face.

"How dare you make up your own mind and don't discuss it with me." The empress dowager immediately showed a look of complaint.

"After all, she is Heng'er's biological mother." Xiao Mingrui replied: "Heng'er is about to enter the palace, I think there are some things, Su Shi's biological mother, it's better to explain to him in person."

"What is there to explain!" The Empress Dowager's face was stiff: "Why do you do unnecessary things?"

"It's too late for the empress to complain now." Xiao Mingrui pretended not to see the empress dowager's face: "What Su Shi should say has already been said."

"What?" The Empress Dowager looked as if she was about to lose her temper: "What did she say? How could you allow her to talk nonsense in front of Xiao Jiu!"

"I didn't say anything, I just talked about how Fifth Brother sent her to the Emperor's bed," Xiao Mingrui replied, "And how the Emperor forced her, and how Fifth Brother forced her to give birth to Heng'er. But those things, I think the queen mother has known about them for a long time, and there is no need for me to repeat them in front of you."

"This woman! The empress dowager gritted her teeth angrily: "I just said she is a scourge!Death is imminent, and it doesn't stop like this.You too, why do such a thing, bring Xiao Jiu in front of that woman, don't you give her a chance to provoke her!Why mention these past events! "

"So the empress mother knew about it a long time ago." Xiao Mingrui looked into the empress dowager's eyes: "Then why did you hide it from me?"

"What did the Ai family hide?" The empress dowager said angrily, "It was the woman's fault! She was restless and seduced the two sons of the Ai family to be mad at her. The fifth son... the fifth son is doing this now It may be because of this woman! Tell me, what a good child the fifth child used to be, how could he suddenly be unable to think about treason! It caused such a catastrophe... woo woo woo... and was implicated My precious grandchildren. The Ai family really regrets that they should not have chosen her as the fifth wife. This woman is a disaster!"

When mentioning King Huaiyang and the dead prince, the Empress Dowager couldn't help crying again.The empress dowager spoke the truth, she really felt that all the bad results up to now should all be attributed to her daughter-in-law who "seduced the emperor restlessly", and her sons were wronged!

Hearing the empress dowager's cry, Xiao Mingrui felt a fit of irritability in her heart. She stood up, turned around and went out without saying a word.Xiao Mingrui knew very well that the Empress Mother could hardly absolve himself of the blame for raising Brother Wu Huang so selfishly and hypocritically.

She had just stepped out of the door of the empress dowager's bedroom, but found that the maids and eunuchs outside were all gone, instead, the prince consort and Xiao Jingheng were standing in a row, waiting for her outside the door.The previous quarrel between her and the empress dowager could not be hidden from the ears of these three people.

"Is my aunt confused?" Xiao Jingheng first took a step towards Xiao Mingrui, and said with a smile: "The people outside didn't clean up, so they rushed to quarrel with the empress dowager. Luckily, my uncle followed."

"Heng'er..." Xiao Mingrui reached out and touched Xiao Jingheng's head: "Are... are you okay?"

"Aunt, don't worry about me." Xiao Jingheng shook his head: "I'm fine."

"Ari, Qi Zhengrong came here just now." The captain-in-law also took a step forward and took his wife's hand: "The emperor has decreed that the three princes will be posthumously crowned princes, and the funeral ceremony will be held by the Ministry of Rites. I took a special look at Heng'er and Jing'er, and said a few words to them, it should be the emperor's order."

　---Here is the dividing line for those who really know ---
　　The Empress Dowager knew it all.She knows everything, unlike Xiao Mingrui who only knows half the facts.

　　So Mrs. Wu Dinghou is a mother, Mrs. Su is a mother, the Su family is also a mother, and the Empress Dowager is also a mother.

　　The difference between this mother and mother is really too great.
