Chapter 260 The past is like a dream like the wind
Xu Zun waited in the flowerbed full of flowers for half an hour, but still did not see Queen Mother Lin appear.
Looking at the looming curtains and smelling the fragrance of flowers, Xu Zun finally calmed down and fell into deep thought.
It is conceivable that after experiencing such a thrilling assassination, a large group of people must be in bad luck.
Except for the internal guards, all those suspected in this case will probably not escape prosecution.
Although Xu Zun did not understand Queen Mother Lin's personality, he had instinctively felt that Queen Mother Lin's anger had reached its peak.
Next, the entire Holy City, and even the entire Daxuan, may usher in a new bloody storm!
I don’t know how many people will have to pay with their lives to satisfy Queen Mother Lin’s anger.
Of course, Xu Zun has also thought that it is difficult to judge his own situation.
Although he was successful in rescuing the driver, he still put the Queen Mother in danger. Therefore, it is difficult to predict whether his success or failure will be determined by the thoughts of Queen Mother Lin.
However, Xu Zun speculated that since the Queen Mother came to talk to him so quickly and in a garden full of flowers, perhaps she did not intend to punish him.
The greater possibility is that he should thoroughly investigate the Xuanmen assassination incident and find out the mastermind behind it.
But...at this time, Xu Zun discovered that the Xuanmen Heavenly Tribulation incident was a huge political whirlpool. The people behind Xuanmen seemed to be far beyond his imagination...
Finally, with a slight noise, Queen Mother Lin walked gracefully and sat on the phoenix chair in the middle of the curtain.
But I saw that Queen Mother Lin had already changed her clothes, and there was a scent of fragrance floating in the distance. She must have just bathed and changed clothes.
Xu Zun hurriedly came forward, ready to kneel down and kowtow.
"Excuse me, Xu Aiqing." Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager Lin said first, "Give me a seat."
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Xu Zun didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so polite to him, so why did he call her Aiqing?
He looked around and found that although the Queen Mother called for a seat, no eunuch actually pulled a chair for him.
Embarrassed, he had no choice but to take a few steps back and sit on the guest chair on the side of the flower garden.
"Xiang'er's surname is Qi." As a result, before Xu Zun could sit down, Queen Mother Lin said sadly: "I am also a descendant of a noble family in the Central Plains. I, Qi Xiang'er, and Dongfang's enchanting father Dongfang Jin are childhood playmates. We
Three are best friends!”
"..." Xu Zun was speechless, feeling a little unsteady on his butt.
"Brother Dongfang is handsome and handsome," Empress Dowager Lin said to herself as if she was reminiscing, "I am infatuated with the girl Xiang'er, and we both regard him as our ideal husband. Even though he is so young, he is still jealous and vying to please us.
Brother Dongfang..."
oh……
Xu Zun suddenly wanted to understand something. No wonder Dongfang Yaorao was attacked twice by Xuanmen rebels, but they all miraculously survived.
Perhaps Qi Xiang'er still misses her old love and ordered her subordinates not to hurt Dongfang Enchanting's life, right?
"Later..." Empress Dowager Lin recalled, "In this battle to win my lover, I was completely defeated.
"Although I tried my best, Brother Dongfang still chose her in the end!
"Since then, I have understood the truth that true feelings cannot be shaken by tactics.
"It's really a twist of fate. To this day, I still wonder, what would it be like now if I had won?"
Hearing this, Xu Zun swallowed unconsciously. He didn't expect that Queen Mother Lin, who had the most power in the world, would have such a past.
"Later, I was arranged by my family to marry into the royal family," Queen Mother Lin continued, "Qi Xiang'er married Brother Dongfang and gave birth to Enchanting..."
Go, Xu Zun almost fell off the chair. Unexpectedly, he still wanted to be simple. Oriental Enchanting turned out to be...
"When the lotus leaves grow, spring hates them; when the lotus leaves wither, autumn hates them." Empress Dowager Lin took a deep breath, with a touch of sadness on her face. "The autumn locks in the palace, from now on, I have become strangers to them.
.”
When Xu Zun heard the Empress Dowager reciting a poem, he wanted to add a few lines in an arty way, but he seemed to be sleeping in the spring, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
However, he was still surprised in his heart. Qi Xiang'er knew that Dongfang Enchanao was his daughter but did not recognize her. This person had a really hard heart.
"I hated Xiang'er because of this incident, so I haven't interacted with her for many years, but I know..." Queen Mother Lin said quietly, "In fact, we are both thinking about each other, and no one has forgotten the other, but we just lack an opportunity.
"Alas, it's a pity that when the opportunity came, it was met with bad news one after another!" She sighed, "First, when Yao Luo was twelve years old, Brother Dongfang passed away due to an illness.
"Soon after, something big happened to the Qi family. As the crown prince and young master, Qi Chong, together with several ministers in the court and the three kings of the Li family, conspired to rebel. In the end, everyone in the family was executed!
"Although Qi Xiang'er's family escaped the crime of beheading, they still ended up in exile.
"At that time, Qi Xiang'er came to beg me and begged me to let their family go! But I had no rights at that time. Although I begged for them in the ear of the late emperor, it still didn't help.
"Actually, I have tried my best, but Xiang'er can't understand.
"I know her temperament, so I must have thought that I still resented her for stealing her lover, and that I deliberately didn't help her.
"She will definitely hold a grudge against me and hold a grudge in her heart..."
"Then... what happened next?" Xu Zun was so fascinated that he couldn't help but ask.
"Later, I just used my own strength to save Yaorao and let her return to the Dongfang family." The Queen Mother said, "Xiang'er didn't know about it and just thought it was the Dongfang family that smoothed the relationship.
"Moreover, how could I not miss Xiang'er? After we were married, I sent people everywhere to help and protect her.
"But unfortunately, her parents were old and died of illness on the road.
"Later, when we arrived in Yuanzhou, Xiang'er also disappeared.
"I later sent many people to search for it, but never found it again.
"So," Queen Mother Lin finally looked at Xu Zun and asked, "can you understand how I felt when I saw her just now!!?"
"This..." Xu Zun had imagined many questions before, but he never expected that the Queen Mother would ask him like this.
"The ancestors of the Qi family have produced many miraculous doctors and reached the pinnacle of medical attainments, so it is not surprising that Xiang'er can develop the kind of medicine that can make people crazy!" Empress Dowager Lin tapped the armrest of the phoenix chair with her beautiful hand, "Today is Brother Dongfang's memorial day.
, I was in the inner hall to pay homage to my brother, so she concluded that I was in Wanfu Palace!"
Oops...
The more Xu Zun listened, the more frightened he became.
"The plot is so deep, the intention is so painstaking, she has been hiding it for many years, and she has planted eyes and ears near my holy capital, vowing to make me repay everything she has lost. This shows how deep her hatred for me is!"
Having said this, the Queen Mother trembled slightly and became excited.
Xu Zun quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak or persuade.
"But," Queen Mother Lin stood up slowly and walked towards the curtain, "Qi Xiang'er is not terrible. I can understand her hatred for me, and I can even forgive her.
"However, precisely because of my understanding of her, I am even more convinced that there must be a more insidious enemy hidden behind her!
"This person knows the Holy City, the Imperial Palace, and even this palace! Xu Zun," the Queen Mother asked, "do you know who this person is?"
this……
Xu Zun suddenly started to sweat on his forehead. Fortunately, he was prepared and immediately asked: "Queen Mother, that secret room... who else knows about that secret room?"
