The general's wife through time

Chapter 239 Mrs. Wu makes a fuss in Changning Palace
"Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty, and may your Queen live a thousand lives!"

Amidst the worship of everyone, Emperor Jingkang took the queen to the main seat and sat down.

Emperor Jingkang slowly raised his hand, "No courtesy, stay on your own!"

After the call, when everyone had sat down, Emperor Jingkang nodded slightly to the little Eunuch Li beside him, indicating to him that the palace banquet could begin.

At this palace banquet, there were no separate seats for male and female guests. Except for the prince, King Haiwei, Li Changle and other important princes and princesses who sat in the seats closest to the main seat, the rest of the guests sat in family units according to the rank of ministers. The seats were arranged in sequence. In order to take care of Xue Tang and allow Xue Tang to talk to the old lady of the Si family, Emperor Jingkang specially arranged for the Qin family to sit next to the Si Wei family.

Qin Mingshu was preparing to appear backstage. Qin Mingqi gave the seriously injured Duan Jingchu a simple bandage and then came to his seat early to wait for his elder brother and sister-in-law.

As soon as Qin Huangyuan, Xue Tang, and three children sat down, Si Fangyun couldn't wait to come over and asked Xue Tang, "Auntie, I heard that you wrote the play for this palace banquet? The entire play? Did the people from the Nanqu team come on stage together? Did you ask the people from the Nanqu team to help farmers and fishermen to prepare for this drama? Grandma, tell me?"

"Ahem!" Seeing that everyone around him was looking this way, Mrs. Si quickly interrupted Si Fangyun's words.

At this time, the music sounded slowly, and the palace ladies came in wearing bright dance clothes and performed the opening song and dance.

In the middle of the song and dance, a nun walked up to the queen, looking very panicked. She whispered something to the queen. Emperor Jingkang who was standing by seemed to have heard it, and his face immediately darkened.

Emperor Jingkang drank the wine in one gulp with a dark face. He did not shout to stop, but the singing and dancing continued. He lowered his eyes and did not look at the queen, allowing the queen to leave the table on her own.

Although the look of success on Mo Ran's face flashed away, it was fully visible to Mrs. Si and Xue Tang.

Mrs. Si Jun Zhuangruo accidentally touched Xue Tang with her arm and motioned her to look at Mo Ran.

As soon as the queen walked to the door of Changning Palace, she saw Wu Heng waiting there, and heard the sound of smashing things coming from inside the house. She raised her hand to signal everyone around her to step back, and then quickly walked through the door with Wu Heng with a cold face.

Moreover, Xue Tang and Si Laotaijun both understood that Mo Ran wanted to reap the benefits. Combined with the information they had obtained before, they could easily deduce that Mo Ran wanted to cause some big trouble to divert everyone's attention. So that she could take the opportunity to completely withdraw from the fundraising.

"You two are heartless. One of you took advantage of the dark and windy night last night to arrest your sister's family. The other watched His Majesty exile all the people to the north to become military households. You stood by and watched, and you even hid it from me. You What a cruel heart! How can your sister endure the pain of being exiled since she was a child? And her little daughter, who is just three years old, has become a military household. If she is bullied in the future, her life will be worse than death. You are tearing out my heart... Lu Ying is just greedy for money, why do you kill him at any time? Your Majesty relied on Lu Ying's help to get where he is today. No matter what, Lu Ying is also a loyal minister. , How could your Majesty? Even if your Majesty thinks that Lu Ying is useless and wants to kill the donkey, your father is worthy of enjoying the Ancestral Temple. Our family still has the iron certificate of alchemy. We can always use our past achievements to exchange for the safety of your sister, orphan and widow. Right? ...I don’t care, you go and persuade His Majesty to take back your life now, otherwise I will crash to death here..."

As soon as the queen and Wu Heng entered the room, they were pointed at and scolded by an ancient woman with silver hair and a strong spirit. The woman was none other than Empress Wu's mother, the old lady of the Wu family.

Empress Wu understood her mother's temperament best. When they were young, her mother favored her younger sister, and she still manipulates her without any bottom line. Without her mother's support, Lu Ying would not have had the courage to collude with the Tatars. Treason and prey on the common people. Empress Wu did not bother with her, and directly took out a pile of evidence from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Mrs. Wu, "Read it for yourself, mother. After reading it, you can decide whether to make things worse for Lu Ying's family." ”

Wu Heng lowered his voice and explained to the queen, "I have told the family to let my mother rest at home. I don't know how Mrs. Xia persuaded your sister-in-law to bring her into the palace. I asked someone to check and found that my mother is a maid from the East Palace. These things I heard from my mouth..."

"Hmm." The queen narrowed her eyes, and there was a trace of fierceness in her eyes, but she quickly put it away. She asked calmly: "Mother, do you think it is necessary to tell the world that Lu Ying has collaborated with the enemy and treason, assassinated the princess, and killed the nine clans of the Lu family? What's better? Or is it better to be exiled according to your Majesty's current method? If the mother insists on bringing her back, she can bear it when the time comes to see her beheaded in public. "

"No, it's impossible!" Mrs. Wu stared at the evidence in her hand and collapsed on the ground. All the strength in her body seemed to be drained out of her, and tears streamed down her face.

There was nothing she could do, she really had nothing to do... But the Queen had...

She suddenly turned her head and ordered to the queen: "Immediately send someone to protect your sister secretly. Even if you are a military household, you can't let her suffer!"

If you become a military householder, do you still have to pay for it? ! The queen laughed angrily, "Mother, I think you have become confused because you have been living in the back house for a long time. When you really understand how many innocent people Lu Ying has harmed and how many wives have been separated and dismembered, you can weigh them again." Isn’t it hard for your family to end up like this?”

After saying that, the queen turned and left, and ordered Wu Heng with strong pressure: "Take your mother to the main hall and let her watch today's dramas and see what is cruel, what is suffering, and what is beautiful." It’s cruel!”

When the queen and others returned to the main hall, the Nanqu troupe had already come on stage, and the opera "Hero" was slowly opening:

A small, barren country was home to a few people. Because of its barrenness, other countries did not even bother to invade. Until one day, a herb called Immortal Grass was discovered on the border of the small country. It has become an oasis, and the fruits can still fill your stomach. After eating, you can strengthen your body and be immune to all diseases. Therefore, it has also attracted the covetousness of countless people. The coveting people do not want to spend money to buy anything from this small place. He scrupulously launched a robbery.

More than twenty people, men, women, old and young, living in a small border town spontaneously formed a team called the Guardian Alliance, vowing to defend their Immortal Grass to the death, waiting for the king to send reinforcements to protect their land.

Yingda, played by Qin Mingshu, and his deaf-mute wife Manman, who is pregnant with Liujia, are both guardians.

They experienced countless burnings, killings, and looting, and their companions died one by one, but reinforcements never arrived.

In the end, everyone decided to let Yingda take Manman to the royal capital. Even if they couldn't defend the field of immortal grass in the end, they could at least dedicate the seeds to the king and let the king plant the seeds throughout the country.

On the night when Yingda set off with Manman, several groups of enemies united and attacked the small town.

Everyone worked together to stop the enemy and cover Yingda and Manman from leaving. When Yingda and Manman walked far away and were sure they were safe, they stood on a hillside and turned around to find that their former home had been turned into a sea of ​​fire, and their companions and enemies had already disappeared. They died together, and the Immortal Grass was also annihilated in the fire...
