Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 24 This Is Her True Intention

"The Queen Mother is here!"

Another majestic communication sound sounded.

And it's getting closer.

The guard immediately let go of Bai Mingwei and knelt on the ground.

Even Emperor Yuan Zhen, who was furious, suppressed his emotions and quickly stood up and walked out.

Bai Ming turned his head slightly and saw first the Qi Sister-in-law's pale clothes, and then the gorgeous clothes sprinkled with gold and phoenix.

Bai Mingwei's heart finally dropped.

She immediately knelt on the ground and rested her forehead on the back of her hands.

The urge to cry with joy filled my heart.

That's right, grandfather's game is a dead end.

She never thought she had the ability to solve this situation.

From the eldest princess's palace to asking various officials, these were not her means to save her grandfather.

She bet all her treasure on the seventh sister-in-law.

Because she knew that only the highly respected Queen Mother could save her grandfather, and only the Queen Mother could make Emperor Yuan Zhen change his mind.

So she delayed as much time as possible, drawing everyone's attention to her as much as possible to prevent them from discovering the seventh sister-in-law who quietly went to the hot spring palace to ask for help from the Queen Mother.

She always believed that Sister-in-law Seven could invite the Queen Mother.

The sun is tilted to the west, and the golden sun leaks in through the window lattice.

The flying dust disappeared instantly, swirling with golden light in the afterglow.

wobbly.

But she felt peaceful, a kind of relieved peace.

Emperor Yuan Zhen saluted quickly: "My son, please pay your respects to your mother."

The Queen Mother's old voice split the air again: "Everyone, get up."

Emperor Yuan Zhen waved, and the servant immediately brought the chair.

The Queen Mother was supported by Yu Jiao and slowly sat down.

Her eyes wandered around and finally landed on Emperor Yuan Zhen: "Emperor, you also sit down."

Emperor Yuan Zhen sat down respectfully and asked: "Queen Mother, you are not feeling well. You must stay in the hot spring palace during this season. Why are you back?"

The Queen Mother wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said in a hoarse voice: "Everyone in the Ai family knows what happened. The ancestors established the foundation, but the descendants failed to maintain it. The entire army of [-] soldiers was wiped out. How many families must be torn apart?"

No matter how well Emperor Yuan Zhen did, he was extremely filial.

Seeing that his mother was sad, he suppressed his anger and quickly expressed comfort: "Mother, my son is handling this matter. Please relax, mother."

Then he glared at Yu Jiao and scolded: "How can you tell the Queen Mother about this kind of thing? If the Queen Mother's health is bad, can you bear it?"

Yu Jiao knelt down obediently and did not defend himself.The Queen Mother stopped Emperor Yuan Zhen from continuing to rebuke: "Emperor, don't blame her. After all, her new husband is also one of the [-] soldiers."

Emperor Yuan Zhen immediately agreed: "Listen to your mother, don't let your mother be sad."

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother cried harder, with tears rolling down drop by drop: "The Ai family was so sad when they heard the bad news, not to mention the victims who lost their lives in this incident. Did the Ai family feel sad when they heard that Bai Xiang hit the pillar? He Are you ok?"

Qin Fengye immediately felt bad and replied respectfully: "Queen Mother, Bai Weiyong is not sad and hitting a pillar, but..."

The Queen Mother's expression changed and she scolded: "Shut up! It's not your family that died. What are you talking about here? If you can't feel the same, how about letting your children and grandchildren fight in the next battle?"

"The Aijia heard you gesticulating like a clown from afar. The Aijia will settle your debt with you later. If you still don't shut up, the Aijia will reward you with a glass of poisonous wine!"

Qin Fengye was as silent as a cicada, not daring to say another word.

Emperor Yuan Zhen quickly glanced at Qin Fengye, and then said: "Mother, my son is still investigating the cause of the defeat, but Bai Xiang's condition is not good. The imperial doctor said he will probably not survive tonight."

The Queen Mother was startled, and then she cried even more sadly, almost losing her breath.

Her sobbing sounds filled the hall, and everyone knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

After a long time, the Empress Dowager choked up and said: "Ai Jia and Wei Yong are old acquaintances. When Ai Jia met him, he had not yet married the late emperor. At that time, he had just taken office. He was young but full of enthusiasm for serving the country. In order to be able to He never stopped for a moment to let the people live a good life.”

"Later, with his daring loyalty and outstanding practical ability, he stepped into the eyes of your grandfather and won your grandfather's appreciation. But he was not proud and complacent, and often worked hard at night just to be able to live in this land. People are better off.”

"When your grandfather was here, he shepherded the hunter on behalf of Heaven, nourished the people with kindness, and mediated between powerful countries such as Northern Yan, Western Chu, and Southern Qi. He ensured that Dongling could survive under the protection of powerful countries. However, because of his wandering around, , the parents were seriously ill and did not fulfill their filial piety at the bedside."

"Your grandfather believed him and handed your father over to him. He worked hard to assist your father and continued to travel between countries. His hair turned gray early and his body was exhausted, but he still relied on his tenacious perseverance to serve this country. He was extremely loyal, but because of this, his wife was unable to see him even when she was dying."

"After your father left, he handed you over to him. At that time, the old and new dynasties were changing, and the political situation was unstable. Many times, we, mother and son, were forced into desperation by those treacherous villains. It was he who dragged his old body to help you stabilize The Bureau of Housing and Urban-Rural Affairs will teach you how to govern the country."

"At that time, he often stayed up all night. One time when his wife went to visit him, he was so tired that he vomited blood. He still bent over his desk to handle official duties and put the compiled memorials on your desk. The candlelight reflected his rickety figure on the window. , and that image of working hard for the country is deeply imprinted in the hearts of the Ai family and will never be forgotten."

"Some time ago, the Northern Yan came so fiercely that no one in the court dared to lead the expedition. He did not hesitate to send his children and grandchildren to the battlefield, but now no one has returned."

"He devoted his whole life to the country. When he died, the white-haired people gave away the black-haired people. When he left, there were eleven. Such grief finally defeated him."

"We all know that he acts vigorously and resolutely, and is the prime minister who rules the world, but we ignore that he is not a god, he is just an ordinary old man, he has blood and tears, and he also has seven emotions and six desires."

"After all, it was Dongling who felt sorry for him..."

The Queen Mother burst into tears, her cloudy eyes full of heartache.

She looked at Emperor Yuan Zhen with grief: "When your grandfather passed away, he told your father to cherish him. When your father passed away, he told us to treat him well, but he still faced such despair. Let the loyal ministers lose everything. , The Ai family has been sorry to the two late emperors, the Ai family has no shame to see their ancestors after their death!"

The Queen Mother wept every word, and her miserable cries made one's heart feel as if they were being grasped severely.

Even Bai Mingwei and Yu Jiao also burst into tears.

Only Qin Fengye knelt on the ground and gnashed his teeth.

If he had known that people from the Bai family would go looking for the Queen Mother, he would have sent people to block the road long ago.

Emperor Yuan Zhen took a deep breath, seemingly sad, but actually regretful.

He asked with difficulty: "Mother, what should my son do?"
