Drawing Crescent Eyebrows: Alluring Zinnia with a Smile

Chapter 381

When Qingyou walked back to Qingsha Palace with heavy steps, she saw that inside the palace gate, there was already a plain white color everywhere.

Things in the palace have always been known for their speed, and now the death knell is ringing in the entire Anning Palace, presumably, within a few days, news of Emperor Gan Ning's death will be spread all over the world.

She pushed the door open and went into the main hall, just as she saw Suxue and Nanny Liu put on plain white filial clothes for the three children, even the infants, she felt sore in her heart When Suxue saw her coming in, she also handed her a set of plain clothes, her expression full of concern.

Qingyou took Suyi, shook her head at Suxue again, forced a smile, and signaled that she herself was nothing serious, she just waited for the two of them to arrange the three children together, and then sat there for a while. sit.

After helping Nanny Liu bring the children to the side hall, Suxue came back to take care of Qingyou, handed her a bowl of lotus seed soup, and said with concern: "You will have to suffer this day, don't think about it now. For those troublesome things, eat something and put them away earlier."

Qingyou shook her head and sighed softly, "Uncle's body has long expected this day, but it just happened for a while, and I still can't believe it."

Suxue felt sorry for her, but she was not only thinking about Qingyou, she said to her: "Then you are an uncle, so naturally you are humanly and thoughtful, but after hearing the news today, the worry in your heart is again Another layer."

Qingyou knew what she was worried about, and said: "Why didn't I think about this? Emperor Gan Ning passed away, the Song Kingdom must not be left alone for a day, and the crown prince Yuwen Chui will succeed to the throne soon. Northern Xia and Xiqi's current royal families are clearly aware of their feelings, so naturally, a big battle is inevitable."

Putting aside the blood relationship, the death of Emperor Gan Ning was the most crucial thing.

Suxue said worriedly: "That's why I want to tell you, it's good to think about why, we both have to leave Lin'an soon, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Qingyou understood in her heart that what Suxue said was true, the reason why she decided to stay here earlier was because Fei Ling was not around for a while, and she could not let go of the child at ease, but no one expected that Emperor Gan Ning, who had been ill for a long time, would actually They will die at this time, and this change will come out. If the two of them still stay in Lin'an, the capital of Song Dynasty, then when Yuwen Chui raises troops, with the two princesses of Beixia in hand, then they will not want to threaten Beixia whatever.

"I understand what you mean." Qingyou lowered her eyes tiredly. She seemed to have never been so tired in her life. She had been thinking all the way in her heart, and now, it was time to make a decision.

Seeing her getting up and going out, Suxue asked quickly: "Hey, it's so late at night, where are you going?"

Qingyou shook her head, made up her mind, and said to her seriously: "It's nothing, I just want to see the queen, she's too pitiful, you don't have to worry about me, I have to pack up, we're only here for two days, Get up and go back to Shengjing."

Hearing her last half-sentence, Suxue felt like the clouds were opening up in her heart. She felt relieved for a moment, but nodded vigorously as a response, then sent her to the palace gate, and then A word of advice, "Be careful on the road at night."

"En." Qingyou nodded without saying anything else.

I don't know how long it took to reach the Hall of Chengui where the late emperor died. Looking from a distance, countless eminent monks were performing rituals as usual, and the one kneeling in front of the coffin was Prince Yuwenchui.

"Do you know what the late emperor said at the end?" A voice suddenly came into his ear, and Qingyou couldn't help being startled in the cool night. Looking at the reputation, he saw the empress alone with her back facing her. Seeing himself sitting on the stone chair in the courtyard, his expression was dull and desolate.

Qingyou walked over, sat down beside her, and said in a weak voice, "The queen knows it's me?"

At this time, the queen smiled slightly, and personally picked up the teapot on the stone table and poured a cup of tea for Qingyou, with a rare calm expression, "You are always kind in your heart, so naturally you can't worry about Aijia."

Qingyou was stunned for a moment, this was the first time she said this about herself this year, I don't know if the passing of her husband softened this staunch woman all of a sudden, listening to her words, Qingyou felt that she was just a Poor girl, nothing else.

She comforted: "Your Majesty, take care of your body, the deceased is dead, and my condolences will change."

After hearing this, the queen smiled to herself and shook her head.

"He called her by her name." After a long while of silence, she said such an endless sentence, which made Qingyou startled again.

"What?" Qingyou blurted out, unable to react for a moment.

The queen turned her head to look at her, her eyes were unusually gentle at this moment, and her tone was also clear, "Your uncle, I thought it was not Chui'er, but this country of Song Dynasty," she said mockingly. She laughed, not knowing whether it was herself or the deceased monarch who was laughing, "Oh... I don't want to, it's still that name after all."

That name, when the queen said it here, Qingyou already understood which name her uncle was speaking of when she was dying.

If Yuwen Chui is like his father, if the country can't match the beauty, then it will be fine.

"He exhausted his last strength and stretched out his hand to point. Others don't know, but I understand that what he wants to point and what he hopes in his heart is your hometown..." The queen's eyes were full of tears, and she smiled gently. You never thought that the image of the mother of a country who was so fierce to her that day would one day fall in her eyes would be like this.

She went on to say: "The hometown of your Bu family is the place where that person grew up, the place where he first met her, and the place where he fell in love with her."

Qingyou just listened, she knew she shouldn't say anything now, as long as she quietly listened to the helplessness of this woman's life, that was the only thing she could do.

"You were born so much like her, that's why I hated your face and you since you first entered the palace, but until today I finally understood that being a villain is not in vain...Qingyou, can you Blame me?" It was the first time that the empress called out Qingyou's name peacefully and sincerely, but Qingyou felt helpless in her heart, and only gained after a big loss.

She comforted her softly, except for the words on the scene, she only called her aunt kindly, "It's the human nature of an aunt, Qingyou doesn't complain or blame."

"You're a good boy..." The queen nodded, feeling mixed feelings in her heart, "It's no wonder your uncle likes you, not only because of his appearance, but also because of his temperament. You don't look like your mother, but you are quite similar she."

Qingyou didn't take it seriously, bowed her head and said: "Qingyou has a reckless temper, not as good as Auntie, her heart is as calm as Si."

But the queen shook her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky. The fifteenth day passed, and the moon was still so round. In her eyes, it was ironic, "No, you are as youthful as she was when she was young, and you are the same. Her heart was hindered by love. Because Zhou Lingfeng killed her father by mistake, she made up her mind to love each other and look at each other without blind date, but not together. Aren't you like her? You and King Rong, Even the experiences are exactly the same.”

Qingyou was startled suddenly, this doubt had actually been hidden in her heart for a long time, but she never expected to understand all this at this time.

No wonder, there was such a conversation in Qingcheng Mountain back then, but she and Ye Xu were much, much luckier than their predecessors.

"Unexpectedly, I was curious about the old things day and night, but I found out the truth from my aunt." Qingyou felt a little funny, "It's just a word of love, which has been unpredictable since ancient times. It is also a kind of blessing to be by my beloved's side for the rest of my life." gone."

"Yes, he is my blessing," the queen listened, not knowing what kind of feeling was in her heart, "It's just helpless, but I am not what he expected in the end..."

Listening to her words, Qingyou pondered for a long time, and then heard the queen say: "You are still young, you should find your lover. It is not easy to find a confidant and love in life, not to mention the hardships, it is time to reunite .”

She never thought that she would persuade herself like this, she didn't know what to say for a moment, she just stared at her with wide eyes, "Aunt...!"

The queen looked calm, and the corners of her mouth frowned slightly, "However, I'd better leave it to the Ai family to bring it. This time, without the support of the late emperor, you will not be able to compete with me." After finishing speaking, she stood up, lightly As she got up, she heard her say again: "It's late at night, let's go back earlier."

Seeing that she turned around but was going in the direction of the main hall, Qingyou called out: "Aunt, you..."

"I still want to stay with him, just stay longer." The back is lonely and cool, thinking that no matter how hot the summer is, it can't quench the chill.

"Aunt," Qingyou thought for a while, and said, "You are uncle's wife, so you have an unusual place in his heart. He won't want you to have a hard time."

"Don't worry," the queen looked at the night sky, and said sadly, "Ai Jia, I still want to watch Chui'er ascend the throne, and watch Ran'er grow up, so I won't waste my life."

Seeing the queen walk into the hall where the spirit was still in the dead, she felt very sad, and stood there looking at it for a long time before turning around and leaving.

At this moment, because of some touch, she had a kind of desire to go back to her hometown and country immediately, to return to that person's side.
