Nalan Tianzuo snorted coldly and put down the files in his hands. Liangkai and Qing'er walked into the study together. Seeing that he didn't look very well, they both tidied the room carefully and did not dare to say anything.
Nalan Tianzuo frowned and said softly, "Is that girl really not allowing anyone to step into Liuli Courtyard? Apart from that, there is no other movement?"
After Nalan Tianzuo finished speaking, Qing'er and Liangkai glanced at each other, not knowing who he was asking. You looked at me, I looked at you, and finally said in unison,
"yes "
"yes"
"Okay, you guys go down." Nalan Tianzuo waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to go down. Before he went down, he had always been a person who kept emotions in check, but in the past few days, his emotions were sometimes a little difficult to control.
After Liangkai and Qing'er went down, Nalan Tianzuo raised his hand and pressed his temples. His eyes, which were always shrewd and experienced, were actually flickering with misty light at this moment.
Now that everything was under his control, he gave Nalan Minghui all the news about the General's Mansion that he had received in the past few years at high speed. Nalan Minghui had always believed in his information. After seeing it, he naturally
I believe it, that's why there was a scene where Nalan Minghui was so angry that he wanted to drive everyone out of the General's Mansion.
But even though his ability to plot people's minds and control situations is powerful, he still can't see through that little woman's heart. What exactly does she want now? He has no way of grasping it. This is also the reason for his mood swings. If it continues to drag on, I'm afraid Tuobo Kun will
Once he wakes up, he will definitely make some desperate moves, and Yelv Zongxiao's recent moves have also been a bit big, and he is even more unwilling to give up on Mu Liang.
Now there is an extra white building!
"Bai, Xiaolou!" Nalan Tianzuo whispered Bai Xiaolou's name, word for word, his voice was like an extremely sharp knife, trying to cut the three words "Bai Xiaolou" into pieces in his mouth
!
If Bai Xiaolou really wants to get involved! Then the first person he has to deal with is Bai Xiaolou!
…
Imperial Palace, Kunning Palace
The Empress Dowager sat cross-legged on the gilt mahogany soft couch, looking out the window eagerly, and finally saw a green figure flashing across the yard. The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief, put on a smile on her face, and looked away with a smile.
woman coming in
The woman is in her thirties, with good facial features, a gentle temperament, and a capable and casual temperament. There is a sassy and bright atmosphere between her eyebrows. Her eyes are bright and bright, the bridge of her nose is high, her expression is high, and her brows are clear and dazzling.
There is a feeling of freedom and straightforwardness that spreads
Although this woman is not said to be stunningly beautiful, she must have been a rare beauty when she was young. It’s just that her skin is a little rough for some reason, as if she has been exposed to the wind and sun all year round in the desert.
When the Queen Mother saw this woman coming in, she immediately greeted her warmly,
"Su Su! Oh, my old woman has finally come to you! I have been gone for three years! You don't miss me, this old woman!" The Queen Mother said as she grabbed the hand of the woman named Su Su.
, slapped in the palm of the hand and made a snapping sound
Su Su looked at the Queen Mother in a funny way, with a capable and bright smile on her face, and said with a smile, "Queen Mother! Do you miss me, or do you miss the Gobi cloud burrito I brought back?"
While counting, Su Su said that all the packs of cloud roll cakes she had brought were placed on the table. When the empress dowager saw her, she smiled and waved all the maids and eunuchs around her to go down, picked up a piece of cloud roll cake and tasted it beautifully.
In front of Su Su, she never had the airs of a queen mother, she was just an ordinary old lady.
Su Su stood up and poured a cup of hot tea for the Queen Mother, and handed it to her with a smile, "Queen Mother, you didn't eat all day yesterday! You were just waiting for Su Su's cloud roll cake."
After Su Su finished speaking, the Queen Mother wiped her hands, tapped Su Su's forehead with her fingertips, and said with a smile, "You girl guessed it right again."
"Queen Mother, at Su Su's age, if you still call me girl and let others hear it, won't you laugh to death?" Su Su said helplessly. The Queen Mother listened and didn't take it seriously.
"No matter how old you are, in the heart of this old woman, you are my Su Su! It's just..." The Queen Mother changed the topic and saw a dim look on Su Su's eyebrows. Su Su must have understood that the Queen Mother wanted to
What did you say?
"It's just that you have been following Nalan Minghui so unknowingly for so many years. Su Su, it's not my old lady's fault. You should give up your heart for Nalan Minghui as soon as possible. Half of it was given to the border gate next door, and the other half was given to Yuchi back then.
Ziwei, you girl is just going to the dark side. If you hadn't been willing to follow Nalan Minghui all these years and asked my old woman to make the decision for you, you would have had a wonderful marriage by now.
Is there any need to guard that ignorant stone?"
The Queen Mother's words made Su Su's eyes turn red.
Over the years, living in the harsh conditions of the Gobi Desert, she had never felt any pain, but every word of the Queen Mother's words could touch her heart.
Seeing that Su Su was silent, the Queen Mother sighed heavily, "Okay, okay, I know you girl can't turn around, so tell me something else. The Ai family wants to meet the girl from the Minghui family. Look..."
The Queen Mother changed the topic to business. When Su Su heard this, she hurriedly shook her head.
"Empress Dowager, I haven't seen that girl either. It's just that Minghui gave an order last night. No one is allowed to go to Liuli Courtyard to disturb her. If she violates it, she will be kicked out of the General's Mansion immediately, including me."
"Even you are no exception?" The Queen Mother's voice suddenly became louder and she looked at Su Su in disbelief.
"What does Nalan Minghui want to do? You have been working hard by his side for so many years, but his stone heart has never melted. Why are you still afraid that you will harm that girl? He is not yet assured of your character.
"?" A hint of displeasure flashed across the Queen Mother's face.
Su Su is a person that the Queen Mother regards as a relative. In the Queen Mother's mind, her status is even equal to that of Emperor Liao. The Queen Mother was already dissatisfied with Nalan Minghui for neglecting Su Su. Now when she heard what Su Su said, the Queen Mother's expression suddenly changed.
Extremely ugly
Su Su saw her and hurriedly comforted her.
"Queen Mother, in fact, this has nothing to do with Minghui. We can't blame that girl Minghui for leaving home for so many years. That girl has suffered for so many years. Now that girl must have complaints in her heart and will not easily trust anyone's Minghui.
He just wants to give the girl more time to think clearly. It's a rare occasion for him to come back, so naturally he can't break up on bad terms. He also hopes to ease the relationship with the girl and make some compensation."
Su Su's words made the Queen Mother sigh heavily. Please pat her hand gently and shake her head.
"Su Su, you are a girl who only wants to say good things for Nalan Minghui and hides everything. My old lady still can't figure out whether Minghui has that family in his heart for the past ten years? If so.
If so, could it be that I didn’t hear any trouble? If not, what is this now? A discovery of conscience? Girl Susu, although I am old, I am not confused yet. Nalan Minghui’s sudden change must be
There is a reason! Either something happened to him in the past ten years or there is some ulterior secret in what he is doing now!
Su Su, I also know that you won’t tell me the truth about Nalan Minghui, and I just don’t want you to continue to be stupid! You are thirty-three this year, and you still have to worry about that ignorant Yu Mu
How long will it take for the pimple to wear out? Huh?!"
The Queen Mother's words again made Su Su burst into tears. She held back the tears that were about to fall, smiled bitterly, and said,
"Queen Mother, this is Su Su's fate. She never wants to get married in this life. If Minghui still doesn't understand, then when Su Su gets old, come to the Queen Mother, serve the Queen Mother, and stay with the Queen Mother for the rest of her life. Then don't dislike the Queen Mother.
Susu will do it”
Su Su's words made the Queen Mother curl her lips unconsciously, and looked at her with a disgusted expression, "Hey, what do you think my old lady is collecting here? If Nalan Minghui doesn't want it, just give it to me! You girl, you have loved your family since you were a child.
I’ve watched you grow up, but you turned your elbows outward and it took me several years to see you. That’s good. With just a few pieces of cake, you want me to support you for the rest of your life! You’re really an outgoing girl.”
"Queen Mother... If you ignore Su Su, then no one will want Su Su." Su Su said with red eyes again. For some reason, in front of outsiders, she had always been the strong and capable Su Su. But now that she is here with the Queen Mother,
, will show a fragile side like a child
"I'm still angry! I didn't want to meet that girl. Maybe through your girl, I can help you open Nalan Minghui's heart."
"Queen Mother, Su Su feels that now is not the time. Although Su Su has never met Mu Liang, the girl's temperament is unpredictable now. There are countless rumors about her in Kyoto alone. On the one hand, she is weak and innocent, and she has suffered a lot.
Bullying, but on the other hand, when that girl got tough, she didn't even give face to the King of Liao and Zong Xiao, let alone the Prince of Persia! In fact, Su Su wanted to seduce her earlier than you did, but seeing her now is really...
It's harder than ascending to heaven. Unless she wants to see us, otherwise... we can only announce her entry into the palace in the name of the imperial edict! But it can't be in vain, there must be a suitable excuse, right?"
Su Su's instructions were actually something the Queen Mother was worried about.
Now it is obvious that Nalan Muliang is the untouchable Achilles heel of many people. Now to announce her entry into the palace can be said to have a huge impact on the whole body.
What is a suitable excuse for this? The Empress Dowager could not find one for a while.
"Su Su, I'm afraid that if you and I can't find a suitable excuse for a while, the emperor will be unable to help but take action. In the eyes of my old woman, maybe now that I am old and have a so-called benevolent heart, I still feel
, that girl will not kill her if she can. Although this royal foundation is stained with blood and tears, it is the dirtiest place in the world, but when I grow old, I still hope to be more peaceful."
The Queen Mother's words made Su Su startled. Su Su thought for a while, got up and whispered a few words in the Queen Mother's ear.
The Queen Mother was stunned after hearing this, and then turned to look at Su Su intently, "Su Su! Isn't this too unfair to you? In this way, what has become of your relationship with Nalan Muliang? What about you and Minghui?
Wouldn’t it be even more impossible?”
Faced with the Queen Mother's question, Su Su gave a helpless smile and said lightly, "I didn't have any hope at first, but I gave up hope and just kept walking forward. I still have the strength to support myself. If I live in the hope of disappointment for a long time,
In the midst of alternating attacks, it is true despair. Su Su has already looked away. Now this is the best way. The Queen Mother does not need to consider Su Su's thoughts. The plan for now is to stabilize the overall situation."
Su Su's words always made the Queen Mother a little confused. She felt sorry for Su Su from the bottom of her heart, but now it seems that Su Su's suggestion is the most feasible solution.
The Queen Mother waved her hand towards Su Su and whispered, "Let me think about it again. How can I, an old woman, feel better if I have wronged you?"
Su Su nodded, took a deep look at the Queen Mother, stood up and walked out of the room. She would find a way to convince the Queen Mother, but first stabilize the overall situation. The relationship between her and Nalan Minghui had always been just wishful thinking on her part.
…
Early the next morning, Mu Liang was basking in the sun on a deck chair in the yard and reading her books. Feifeng came over and handed her a bottle and whispered,
"Miss, the general sent this just now. I knew you didn't want to see him, so he gave it to me and left. He said that this bottle contains holy healing medicine. It was given to him by an ascetic old man. If you apply it on your hands, it can cure the disease.
Those ugly scars”
After Feifeng finished speaking, Mu Liang's eyes flashed, and he quickly took the bottle and looked at it in front of his eyes.
"Ugly scars? Nalan Minghui also thinks the scars on my hands caused by the abuse by his wives, daughters, and sons are ugly? I think they are pretty good. At least if I want revenge, I will take one look at these scars.
You know how to do it! Take it back to him! Tell him that I don’t want it!”
"Yes" Feifeng nodded, took the small bottle and turned around to walk out of the yard.
The next moment, a dark golden figure flashed past in the darkness. Mu Liang raised his hand and groped behind his head, and then he remembered that he had lost his hairpin, and asked Lao Li to take another hairpin to Yizhen Fengyunzhai to make it.
The new hairpin is gone, Lao Li hasn't come back yet, and Mu Liang doesn't have any hidden weapons that he can use.
Point your toes and kick out the account book closest to you. As fast as lightning, it will fly straight into the face of the person who came.
