Chapter 91
The Queen Mother took Yan Susu to an elegantly decorated room and gave Yan Susu a seat.
At first, she just looked at Yan Susu up and down, which made Yan Susu feel unsure.
After a long while, the Queen Mother slowly spoke: "Did you not want to die just now?"
Yan Susu raised her head, met the Queen Mother's eyes, and replied: "I didn't think much about it. I just thought that if I don't save him, that person will die."
"Hahahaha, I don't think so much. In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer people like you around the Aijia. The Aijia just feels that life is boring, so today I simply found another one for the Aijia!"
Someone like her? What kind of person? Someone with courage?
Did the Queen Mother rehearse that scene just to find someone brave enough to please her?
Yan Susu felt a little depressed. Just to find someone to please her, she almost sacrificed an innocent life. If Yan Susu had not been tortured by her conscience and stood up in the end, would she really have become a performance prop and lived alive?
Lost his life?
These emperors regard other people's lives as nothing, are selfish and arrogant, and only see themselves at all times, and only care about what they like. Yan Susu only feels uncomfortable in her heart, but she has no way to break out.
Because of her dissatisfaction and depression towards the Queen Mother, her reply did not appear to be flattered, but as indifferent as water: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your love!"
The Queen Mother didn't seem to notice the coldness and distantness in her attitude. She reached for a blue and white porcelain cup and took a sip of tea.
"Tell the Aijia honestly, do you like the emperor?"
Yan Susu was stunned for a moment, feeling that the Queen Mother had changed the subject too quickly! And what was she asking about, that she liked the emperor? How could she think so.
"There is only love based on respect and affection, not love between men and women." She answered truthfully, her face as usual.
The Queen Mother chuckled: "Ha! What about Min Xiang? Don't you like Min Xiang too?"
This question is not as easy to answer as the previous one.
In terms of name, Yuan Minxiang was her fiancé. If she said she didn't like him, it would be a bruise on Yuan Minxiang's self-esteem. As Yuan Minxiang's biological mother, the Queen Mother would definitely be unhappy.
But if you say you like it, it would be too much against your will, and it might be self-defeating. The Queen Mother might think that a one-year period is too cruel for a lover who is in love, and then remove her from the list of accompanying people.
The wedding was eliminated and moved forward to become her wedding to Yuan Minxiang.
Yan Susu knew that she had to think about her answer again and again, but she didn't have much time to think about the answer right now. Therefore, she could only give an ambiguous answer: "As time goes by, love will always arise."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother chuckled again and nodded to her: "The Ai family knows, please go down!"
What does she know? Yan Susu always feels that the woman in front of her is a little too enigmatic. Even if she tries to figure it out carefully, she may not be able to see through her mind.
Some people left the room anxiously, and an old nun came over to take her to the Buddhist hall, where she chanted Buddhist scriptures and chanted sutras with everyone to pay homage to the late emperor.
The day went by peacefully, but at midnight, everyone was a little drowsy. Aunt Gui's tone told everyone to recite it all night long, so everyone could only hold their eyes open and breathe hard to stay awake.
At midnight, Aunt Gui went out for a trip. As soon as she went out, everyone started talking to each other in low voices, covering up their casual chanting of Buddha's name.
"My name is Ji Mo!" Yan Susu closed her eyes and calmed down. Suddenly, there was a burst of hot air in her ears. She opened her eyes, turned her head, and found that it was the girl who was fifteen or sixteen years old talking to her.
"My name is Yan Susu!" She smiled gently at the other person, looking at the other person's pearl-like eyes, she felt that they were sparkling and bright, which lifted people's spirits.
"I know!" The man also laughed, very brightly.
"Haha, it seems I'm quite famous!" Yan Susu joked. Seeing the door being pushed open, Aunt Gui's foot had already stepped in. She quickly reminded Ji Mo with her eyes, and then talked to Ji Mo
They all turned their bodies upright again and started chanting in front of the Buddha statue.
The night passed, and during the day it was the late emperor's birthday celebration, and their task was to continue to reminisce.
Many people began to feel exhausted and their faces turned pale. Yan Susu's physique was healthier than others, so she was able to hold on. However, she was dozing off, and the endless drowsiness came over her. She almost fell asleep just thinking about it.
While watching the end of the season, I held myself together. I looked at her mouth several times and started chanting, then stopped. After a while, as if I suddenly woke up, I looked at Aunt Gui guiltily, and then started chanting again.

"I'm really sleepy. You don't know how many times I fell asleep. It's really painful. Shhh - don't tell anyone!"
In the narrow carriage, Ji Mo leaned against the wall of the carriage, his hands folded behind his head, his posture was lazy, and his eyes still showed a little tiredness.
Two days have passed since that torturous chanting. During the two days, they were allowed to sleep on one day and spent the rest of the day on the road.
The tomb of the late emperor is not in the capital. The imperial capital of the Tianyuan Dynasty was originally located in Cheshui City in the west. It was later moved to the capital. However, the tombs of the previous kings were not moved and remained in Cheshui City.
Because it is in the west, everyone calls the mausoleum Xiling.
It only takes half a day's drive from Cheshuicheng to the capital. However, this time the team was huge and the moving speed was inevitably a bit slow. Therefore, we have already walked for a day and a night. We are still a hundred miles away from Xiling. It will probably be late at night.
will arrive.
Yan Susu was arranged to ride in the same car as Ji Mo. During the conversation, Yan Susu also learned that Ji Mo was selected at the show girl selection meeting this spring. She is the granddaughter of the cavalry general Ji Yong, Sixteen Fanghua. This time she is
The Queen Mother appointed her to accompany her, but she didn't know why she was chosen.
Ji Mo is innocent and cute, cheerful and cheerful, and Yan Susu quickly became friends with her.
Now seeing Ji Mo lying lazily against the wall of the car, Yan Susu couldn't help but joke: "Sit up straight, otherwise people will see you. Be careful and let the news reach the ears of the Queen Mother. You may be a good looker."
"Who will see it? It's just you and me in this car. You won't tell anyone, I know."
"Haha, you are so sure!" Yan Susu chuckled.
Ji Mo also laughed, with a bright smile: "From the first time I dealt with you in the water, I knew you were easy to get along with. Later, when you stepped forward regardless of your own safety and saved the palace maid, I was even more sure.
, you are born with a chivalrous heart and are a good person."
Unexpectedly, her mental image at the end of the season was quite brilliant.
"If you are discerning, I am a good person!" She said half-jokingly, not modestly.
Ji Mo chuckled, and suddenly, the smile froze at the corner of his mouth: "There is murderous intent!"
murderous look?
Yan Susu thought that Ji Mo was teasing her. This girl was very naughty, and every few sentences she said were all jokes. But seeing Ji Mo's rarely serious expression, she became a little doubtful.
"What's wrong?"
"You have murderous intent. If something happens in a while, don't leave me. Damn it, I'm not allowed to bring sharp weapons. My sword is not here. Su Su, give me your hairpin. Quick, my hairpin is too short and won't do anything!"
" Ji Mo's expression became more solemn, and Yan Susu couldn't help but not believe it.
Yan Susu hurriedly pulled out the hosta on her head, and a waterfall of black hair poured down her smooth neck, exuding a faint fragrance of roses.
Holding Yan Susu's hairpin in the palm of her hand, Ji Mo held her breath, quietly as if she was feeling something or listening to something.
Seeing her serious expression, Yan Susu didn't dare to disturb her, so she just sat there quietly.
"Here we come, remember to follow me!"
As soon as Ji Mo finished speaking, he heard the guard escorting outside shouting: "There are assassins, protect the Queen Mother!"
Then came the screams of women, the clang of clashing swords and guns, and screams one after another.
Yan Susu tensed up, she actually had an enemy.
After Ji Moguo was worthy of being a military general, she already felt murderous intent before anyone noticed it.
"Someone is approaching, Su Su, come here!" Ji Mo grabbed Yan Susu and walked towards the car door in three steps and two steps at a time. The moment Yan Susu left her seat, the car wall she was leaning on was suddenly hit by a
It's very dangerous to pierce it with a sharp sword.
If it hadn't been for the end of the season, she would have become the ghost of the swordsman long ago.
At the end of the season, her bright eyes completely lost their innocence and were replaced by a sharp and cold light.
This kind of end of the season, although unfamiliar, makes people awe-inspiring.
As soon as he got out of the car, a masked man attacked him. Ji Mo protected Yan Susu behind him and nimbly dodged the sword edge. Then, with a light stroke of the jade hairpin, it swiped across Duofang's wrist.
