Yun Zishu was silent for a moment and then spoke calmly: "Queen, you are too worried. I will not make things difficult for others for no reason. The assassination at the racecourse was committed by Situ Xuan and Situ Wan. Since they have been punished, the matter ends here.
No one will take revenge on the Situ family again."
As long as the Situ family stopped acting like monsters and no longer caused trouble for her, she would naturally be able to be merciful and forgiving. Besides, Situ Xuan was so seriously injured that it was hard to tell whether he would live or die.
As for Situ Wan, marrying to the Marquis of Zhongyi was the beginning of her tragic fate. Someone would naturally greet her well in the future, and Yun Zishu had no interest in paying attention to this person anymore.
The queen said calmly: "I am not your opponent, don't you feel proud?"
proud?
Yun Zishu was a little surprised that she would ask such a question. It was really unbecoming of a mother of a country.
"The queen is wrong." She shook her head slowly, "Only those who want to compete all day long will feel proud because they have the upper hand for a moment. I have never had the intention to fight with others, so I can't talk about pride or frustration."
The queen seemed disapproving: "You are the winner now, so naturally you can say whatever you want, otherwise how can you show your calmness and generosity?"
Yun Zishu looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile: "Although the queen is the mother of a country, she cannot escape the intrigues of the women in the house. Because in the queen's heart, only by being loved and respected by her husband can she stabilize her position.
This mentality of fighting against power has become deeply ingrained and cannot be changed, so I naturally think that all women in the world should be like you."
A sneer appeared on the queen's face: "She is sharp-tongued."
"I don't like fighting with others." Yun Zishu didn't care about her comments, "I'm not interested in placing my destiny entirely on one man, even if that man is my husband."
The queen looked at her in disbelief: "In addition to being attached to the prince, do you think you can make a career on your own?"
She obviously felt that Yun Zishu's idea was not only deviant, but also so whimsical that it even made people think she was crazy.
Not to mention she was a woman who married from afar, not even a noble son from a prominent family in Dongyou would dare to have such a rebellious idea.
"In the territory of Dongyou, it is naturally impossible for me to make a breakthrough on my own." Yun Zishu put her hands on her knees and spoke calmly, without any fuss, "But I chose to follow Sicang here.
Dongyou, the premise is that I trust him enough. If I don't trust him, I will continue to stay in Dayong, so whether I can break out or not, it has nothing to do with the queen, right?"
Without Sicang, her thoughts would not change from beginning to end, and revenge would be her only goal in life.
Maybe she can really make her way on her own, but it will take longer and more forbearance. She may be thirty or forty years old when she successfully achieves her goal, or she may die before achieving her goal.
.
But this is all her own choice, and she will not blame anyone even if she dies.
In short, she will no longer be the little woman trapped in the house, jealous of others, scheming and submissive.
"Yun Zishu, you are very conceited."
Yun Zishu shook her head: "This is confidence."
The queen fell silent and did not speak for a while, but looked at Yun Zishu with complicated eyes.
Aunt Zhao offered Yun Zishu a cup of hot tea, but Yun Zishu did not reach out to take it, letting her place the cup on the table at hand.
Perhaps it was not until today that the queen truly realized Yun Zishu's temperament. She did not expect that a woman could be so stubborn and dare to say such words to a foreign queen in a foreign palace.
Probably because her mood had calmed down, the queen was now able to look at Yun Zishu more objectively, instead of holding on to the prejudice and dissatisfaction she had before. It had to be said that she was a little shocked in her heart, but this shock was not tolerated by her very much.
Well concealed.
It doesn't matter what Yun Zishu thinks. What matters is her unreserved trust in Sicang - this kind of trust is by no means blind, but comes from strong confidence.
As for who gave this confidence...
The queen's eyebrows were filled with a gloomy look, and she sighed softly: "I have nothing to do today. Can you tell me about the prince's experience in Dayong these years?"
Yun Zishu turned her head and glanced inside the palace. Except for Nanny Zhao, who was standing beside the queen with her head lowered, the other maids had been kneeling on the ground. They had been kneeling since Yun Zishu came in. The queen didn't let them get up, so they never got up.
"Let them all go out." Yun Zishu said, "I don't want too many people to hear about Sicang's matter."
The queen waved her hand: "Everyone, step aside."
Aunt Zhao bowed in salute and led the maids to retreat.
Yun Zishu's eyes fell on the tea cup, as if she was thinking about how to speak. After a moment, she said: "Sicang and I have known each other since we were young. At that time, I was a neglected royal princess, and he was a young man who was often injured.
Shadow Guard, the two of us depended on each other for our lives. We relied on each other and got through the most difficult years of our lives."
The queen frowned: "Aren't you the princess?"
"It is true that she is the legitimate princess, but my mother died young, and I was just a poor little person with no one to protect me in the palace." Yun Zishu smiled lightly, and her eyebrows were filled with confusion when she mentioned those unforgettable years.
Not surprised, his voice was as calm as water, "Children who have no one to protect them are really pitiful. They are gloomy and see no hope. However, adversity makes people grow. People who come out of adversity have stronger wills than others. If they have enough
If you have the ability close to you, you will naturally be more invincible."
The queen said nothing, silently picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Sicang was seriously injured every time, and he was close to the gate of death every time." Yun Zishu said in a calm voice, "At that time, I was powerless in the palace, so I had to go through all the troubles to get some medicine. Needless to say, it was hard work.
When you meet those evil slaves, it is common to be made things difficult for you and beaten and scolded."
The queen closed her eyes and said nothing, her hand holding the tea cup tightened involuntarily, not knowing what she was thinking in her heart.
"No one will be nice to someone for no reason, and no one will hate someone for no reason. What Sicang and I have gone through is unimaginable to others, let alone empathetic." Yun Zishu raised her eyes and looked directly at her.
The Queen, "Although the Queen was his biological mother, she showed no kindness to him in nurturing him, did not lend a helping hand when he was in trouble, and did not take care of him day and night when he was dying. Today, there is no way to accuse him of being unfilial and indifferent."
Yun Zishu would never emphasize her original contribution in front of Sicang, nor would she take the initiative to mention this past incident to anyone. This was a secret between her and Sicang, and there was no need to tell it to win sympathy or pity from others.
