Chapter 259: Pleading for the Queen?
Chapter 259: Pleading for the Queen?
Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue's innocent appearance and felt deeply moved.
Jun'er was praising her mother in every word she said, but she didn't know that her mother's affection for her was all insincere and she had no intention of caring for her at all.
He only found out today that three years ago, when his mother left the palace because of the eldest princess's incident, she actually left these words for Jun'er before leaving.
Only Jun'er is stupid. Until now, he still doesn't know what his mother really means.
How could the Queen Mother feel sorry for her?
The Queen Mother was simply trying to find a reason for Jun'er to go to Yushan and invite her back.
The Queen Mother is really calculating!
Unfortunately, Jun'er was naive and thought that his mother was sincerely worshipping Buddha, but he did not understand what her mother meant.
So, for three years, Jun'er really didn't send anyone to invite his mother.
Seeing that Lin Junxue was still missing the Queen Mother's kindness, Xie Yu interrupted her reluctantly, with even more pity in his eyes.
sigh
"Jun'er, that's enough. Actually, my mother wants to return to the palace early. I am still a little hesitant about this matter."
Lin Junxue was silent for a few seconds, then spoke carefully.
"Your Majesty, is it because of the incident with the eldest princess three years ago that the Emperor still has a grudge? So, do you not want the Queen Mother and the eldest princess to return to the palace?"
Xie Yu paused, his eyes deepened, and his aura turned cold.
Of course, he was not still angry about the reason why his mother left the palace three years ago.
However, after Jun'er mentioned this, he couldn't help but think of three years ago.
The queen mother disregarded the dignity of the royal family and the reputation of the emperor, and actually wanted to force Fuzi to be her husband for his good-for-nothing sister. It was simply absurd.
How could my mother, who is such a wise person, not know that this would make people all over the world laugh at her?
But she still decided to go her own way, regardless of anything else.
Isn't it because the eldest princess is the only biological daughter of the queen mother, and he is not
Thinking of this, Xie Yu's eyes darkened.
If he was also the Queen Mother's biological son, then the Queen Mother would definitely not ignore him as the emperor for the sake of the eldest princess.
Lin Junxue pretended not to notice that Xie Yu's expression had changed.
She said anxiously, "Your Majesty, my mother was also very protective of her daughter. The eldest princess was just confused for a moment. My mother only has the eldest princess as her biological daughter. At that time, the eldest princess was crying and making a fuss. My mother really had no choice, so she ignored the royal family. Also, your Majesty's reputation. I think my mother must have regretted it very much in the past three years. Your Majesty, please don't worry about this matter."
The more anxious Lin Junxue was to plead with the Queen Mother, the colder Xie Yu's eyes became.
Jun'er is right. The Queen Mother has only one biological daughter, the Princess. Everything is for the Princess. So what does he, her illegitimate son, matter to her?
Xie Yu didn't speak
Lin Junxue also stopped talking, became quiet, lowered her eyes, and had an ambiguous expression.
If it had been someone else who said what she said just now, Xie Yu, a suspicious man, would have suspected that she was deliberately preventing the empress dowager from returning to the palace.
But she is different. She is a stupid and naive woman who treats the Queen Mother as a relative.
This is the benefit of character setting.
for a while
In front of Lin Junxue, Xie Yu revealed a hint of hidden vulnerability.
"Jun'er, do you think that I, the emperor, will never be able to match the position of the eldest princess in my mother's heart?"
From childhood to adulthood, my mother always put the eldest princess first in everything.
He is the emperor, and he should be the most important person in his mother's heart.
Lin Junxue stood up, walked to Xie Yu and sat down.
This is a rare opportunity to attack someone's heart.
The reason why Xie Yu was dissatisfied with the Queen Mother was because he, as an emperor, could not accept that he was not the most important. In the final analysis, he was selfish and domineering.
Lin Junxue looked at Xie Yu affectionately, her eyes were gentle, and she spoke to comfort him.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Your Majesty loves the eldest princess and she also values you, Your Majesty. Why should Your Majesty be in a stalemate with Your Majesty because of this?"
Xie Yu laughed coldly
Yes, even someone as simple as Jun'er can see that the queen mother values him, not loves him, and the child that the queen mother loves is the eldest princess.
Lin Junxue said again, "Your Majesty, my mother has been away from the palace for three years. She must have been paying attention to the palace and you, Your Majesty. You see, these things happened in the palace in the past few days, and my mother knew about it immediately in Yushan. My mother has you in her heart."
Xie Yu suddenly raised his dark eyes and stared at Lin Junxue's face.
Lin Junxue was stunned, and then a trace of sadness appeared on her face.
She whispered, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong? Shouldn't I have pleaded for my mother and made you unhappy?"
Looking at Lin Junxue's aggrieved and cautious expression, Xie Yu knew that he had just scared her.
"Jun'er, I don't mean to blame you. You are simple-minded and you are sincere in pleading for our mother. However, you reminded me of one thing."
Lin Junxue asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, what did I remind you of?"
Xie Yu did not answer, his eyes sank again, and he looked gloomy.
Jun'er's casual words reminded him that his mother was far away in Yushan worshiping Buddha, and even if he traveled 800 miles by express train, it would take several days to go back and forth.
How could she know everything that happened in the palace so quickly?
After the death of the father, in addition to the twelve deadpools, could it be that he left other forces to the mother?
How many people does the Queen Mother have in this harem?
The more Xie Yu thought about it, the gloomier his expression became.
Lin Junxue was very tactful and did not ask any further questions. Anyway, Xie Yu would not tell her even if she asked.
To outsiders, the relationship between the Empress Dowager and Xie Yu seemed like a loving and filial pair, but in fact, they had long been suspicious of each other.
Perhaps since the day the late emperor passed away, all the Deadpool that was supposed to be left to Xie Yu was left to the Empress Dowager.
There was a time bomb planted in the heart of Emperor Xie Yu.
It’s just that no one has detonated it before. In the future, she will do it.
Xie Yu was angry, but his eyes suddenly fell on the amulet that came from Yushansong today.
After all these years, the Queen Mother still has true feelings for him, otherwise she wouldn't have made this amulet with her own hands.
Lin Junxue's gaze followed Xie Yu and fell on the amulet. Suddenly, she let out a soft "Ah".
Xie Yu turned to look at her. "What's wrong? Jun'er, why are you so surprised?"
Lin Junxue looked at the amulet and examined it carefully.
Then, she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, your mother must be thinking of you. No wonder the stitching of this amulet looks familiar to me just now. Isn't it the work of Aunt Wu, who is by the Empress Dowager's side? Aunt Wu's craftsmanship is still so good. A few years ago, she sewed a handkerchief for me, and I still keep it carefully. Her craftsmanship is really unique. Your mother asked Aunt Wu to sew this for you specially. It's a token of your mother's love."
Xie Yu's complexion, which had been improving, now looked completely awful.
He suddenly pulled off the amulet from his waist, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, and his eyes were bloodshot.
The guard said that this was a lucky charm that the queen mother had sewed for him personally in order to pray for blessings.
