Tell the lord, the princess has climbed the wall

Chapter 259 You Are Determined to Leave
Ci'an Palace

The Empress Dowager Bai and the emperor looked at each other, then looked at the couple Sima Cheng and Zuo Mu below, and then sighed softly after a long while, "So, you two came to the palace specially today to ask for your resignation. of?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, that's true." Zuo Mu said lightly, respectfully,
"Presumably you also know that the cold poison in the prince's body is raging, and he almost couldn't survive last winter.

A few days ago when I went hunting in autumn, I suffered from a second cold. At that time, I seemed to have recovered. Unexpectedly, the temperature dropped sharply in the past few days. Not only did the illness recur, but also the cold poison also broke out. I coughed every night and couldn’t sleep at all. don't feel it.

The daughter-in-law thought, Lingnan is located in the south, and the four seasons are warm like spring, maybe going there will be good for the prince's recovery. "

"Well, it's rare that your husband and wife are loving, and you also have the heart to think about Cheng'er."

The Empress Dowager Bai nodded, on the surface not only did not reject Zuo Mu's proposal, but she seemed to support it, but what she said next was full of weight and insinuations.

"It's just that although Lingnan is very close to Annan, it is thousands of miles away from Dingcheng. Have you ever thought that it will soon enter the middle of winter, and the roads are icy and muddy due to wind and snow? With his physical condition, it is possible that he will not be able to support Lingnan at all?"

After the Queen Mother Bai asked this question, Zuo Mu's heart sank involuntarily.

I have to admire that this old fox does have a few brushes, and his skills in sowing dissension are indeed extraordinary.

When she said this, on the surface, everything was for Sima Cheng's sake, and she had no other intentions, but if she had a heart, it would not be difficult to find out if she took a closer look, her underlying consciousness was nothing more than:
Seeing that Sima Cheng is dying, Zuo Mu is already looking for a way out for himself. Regardless of Sima Cheng's life or death, he must find a way to go back to Lingnan, because it is close to Annan, and even if Sima Cheng is really dead, it will be the worst for him You can also sneak back to Annan and live your own life.

Not to mention, once the topic of her was brought up, Zuo Mu really didn't feel comfortable talking about it.

If Sima Cheng insisted on going back to Lingnan regardless of his life or death, it would undoubtedly hit her right, not to mention the other people's disapproval, even the two of them, if they hadn't communicated in advance, they would inevitably go south because of Zuo Mu's insistence. What's wrong with you.

But if you can't bear the pressure, just give up and let go, it will hit the Queen Mother's wishes.

"Daughter-in-law... daughter-in-law doesn't dare!" Zuo Mu looked up at the Queen Mother carefully with tears in his eyes, and didn't say that he couldn't go or that he had to go, but just looked at him with aggrieved expression.

Helpless, the words rushed to this juncture, and after learning from the pain, Zuo Mu had no choice but to accept his softness first, and retreated to advance.

"It's really the son's fault to let the queen mother work hard for the son."

Seeing Zuo Mu's small grievance, Sima Cheng spoke up to defend her softly at the right time,

"Actually, what Mu'er meant was that the temperature in Lingnan is moderate, which is suitable for my body to recuperate.

I feel that if I really take good care of my body, it will save my queen mother from worrying about her children every night.

As for the long journey and bad weather, the queen mother can rest assured that the son-in-law has already made detailed plans.

Everything on the road is based on my body. We will deliberately walk slowly, and find rest nearby when it is rainy to avoid the deterioration of the condition.

In addition, Mu'er knew a little about medicine, so daily care and nursing should not be a problem, so on the whole, before the end of the year, she should still be able to reach Lingnan. "

Seeing that it was rare for Sima Cheng to speak so much, and ended up making a long speech, all of which were to excuse Zuo Mu, the Empress Dowager Bai's face instantly sank, "So, you are determined to leave? As for me, the empress, Are you not going to care about life and death, and you are not going to do your filial piety anymore?"

Taking out the word "filial piety" to suppress others, Empress Dowager Bai's words unknowingly increased the weight a bit. In this world where "filial piety" and "benevolence" rule the country, unfilial piety is a taboo for people all over the world.

As soon as Empress Dowager Bai said this, even Sima Cheng couldn't find a direct rebuttal.

For a while, Sima Cheng and Zuo Mu didn't answer, and the emperor and the Empress Dowager also didn't speak. The atmosphere in Ci'an Palace instantly became tense.

The eldest princess hadn't been out of the villa or into the palace for half a year. She didn't expect to be dragged into the second palace by Wei Zhaoran today, and accidentally encountered such a difficult matter.

"Don't blame your mother for being troublesome." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, the Eldest Princess smiled and said, "The reason why your mother chatters so much is because she keeps things inside and out. your body.

You also have to be considerate of the minds of our elderly people. This is the case when people get older. Their bodies are getting worse day by day. I don’t know which will come sooner, tomorrow or an accident. Naturally, I hope that my children will always be by my side.

Not to mention that Cheng'er went here to recuperate, even Ye'er used to lead troops out every time, knowing that it was necessary at the border, I would always feel sad for a while, and tried to drag him for a few days. "

"Princess Eldest, you know me," Seeing Princess Eldest opened her mouth, the Empress Dowager Bai immediately changed her motherly face, "Who says it's not, I'm older, especially during this time, I'm sick, I don't care about everything I don’t want to, I care about everything, I just hope that my children can surround me every day, so that I can think about the happiness of my children and grandchildren.”

"What the empress dowager said is very true. It is the daughter-in-law who is not thinking carefully, and I hope the empress dowager will forgive her." Zuo Mu bit his lip and said with great determination, "Although the prince is not feeling well and needs to go to Lingnan to recuperate, but My daughter-in-law would like to stay in Dingcheng and serve the queen mother by her side."

"This..." Seeing Zuo Mu suddenly say this, Queen Mother Bai was taken aback.

Obviously she was still hinting at Sima Cheng just now, Zuo Mufei urged to go to Lingnan with bad intentions, unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Zuo Mu changed the topic and gave up first.

What kind of medicine did the couple sell in the gourd?

The Empress Dowager Bai turned her eyes to look at the emperor, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

When the emperor received the signal from the Queen Mother, he just sat quietly, neither agreeing nor saying no,
He just wanted to see how Sima Cheng would react next, whether Zuo Mu made this decision because the couple had prepared it, or if it was her own improvisation.

If Sima Cheng firmly supports her decision and chooses to leave, it means that the relationship between the two of them is not as deep as the rumors from the outside world. Or, if there is some deeper conspiracy hidden between the two, he will naturally reject it.

On the other hand, if the relationship between their husband and wife is really as the outside world said, inseparable, inseparable, that would be even better, and there is no need for him to refuse, Zuo Mu's proposal, but even Sima Cheng can't agree.

Sure enough, just as the emperor made up his mind to wait and see what happened, Sima Cheng couldn't wait to speak...
