Chapter 531 Blind eyes and ears
“As soon as the concubines and palace people guarding the mausoleum left today, the entire harem suddenly became empty, and my heart felt empty.”
Lu Wan welcomed his hands. Holding the cup, he lowered his eyes and sighed, his expression seemed a little dull.
Liang Huandao passed the meal, then sat down and looked at her with a faint smile: "If you want to leave, just tell me at any time."
Lu Wanying was startled, then raised his head, his face He hesitated slightly, but finally shook his head.
"I'd better stay with you, otherwise, wouldn't you be the only one left?"
He then sighed again: "As soon as my aunt couldn't afford to fall ill, I went to see her. She was gone all day long. She fell asleep all night, and even when I talked to her, she didn't quite recognize me. She didn't know anything about me. Do you think that evil-hearted Gao Yu poisoned her? "
Liang Huan didn't even raise his eyelids, and said while cleaning his hands: "Didn't you ask the Imperial Medical Office?"
Lu Wan greeted: "Yes, the imperial doctor said that it would be good if my aunt could save her life. . And at the beginning of the year, I said that my cousin was not going to die soon. I also knew that he had been in poor health since he was a child. Even if it was due to poisoning when he was young, but after so many years... why did the medicine suddenly fail? ?"
Liang Huan wiped the water on his hands: "The Queen Mother didn't say anything?"
Lu Wanying slowly shook his head: "Even if she knew, she wouldn't tell me."
Liang Huan was noncommittal, put down Ge Bu, and picked up the teacup in front of her.
Lu Wanying stared at the person opposite and said tentatively: "Cousin, you have changed a lot since my cousin passed away... You still have him in your heart, right? I dare say, compared to me, Uncle, in fact, you care more about my cousin."
She paused for a moment: "However, I still want to hear it from your own mouth."
Liang Huan endured it and lowered his eyes to swallow. Taking a sip of tea: "In addition to asking me these questions, do you have anything else?"
Lu Wanying was stunned, holding the cup and shaking her head: "I——"
Before she could speak, Liang Huan raised his eyebrows: "Does Shangshu Ling know these are the things you ask me the most?"
Lu Wanying seemed to stiffen for a moment, put down the cup, and smiled.
"I'm just curious. Besides, we are the only two in this palace who can talk to each other. I don't care about political affairs. What else can I say to you besides this?"
Liang Huan couldn't help but laugh: "Don't you still say that I look like the Empress Dowager?"
The person who was originally smiling suddenly dimmed his bright eyes and lowered his eyes slowly, his mood visibly depressed.
"...Why doesn't it look like it?"
Liang Han glanced at her thoughtfully, then quickly looked away.
Lu Wanying raised her head again, with a smile on her face: "However, there is one thing different."
She deliberately played it off and paused.
Liang Huan took a sip of tea and asked perfunctorily: "What's the difference?"
Lu Wanying held her chin in one hand and moved the cup with the other, and said with a smile: "The favorite of Emperor Shenwu is Xue Zhaoyi, and the second is Xiao Xue Zhaoyi. , As for my aunt——"
She shook her head: "It is because of my relationship with Aweng that I made her my queen, but you are different. My cousin only loves you. I knew it when I begged my aunt."
Liang Huan stiffened, forced a smile, and picked up the tea cup to drink tea.
The air was inexplicably quiet for a while.
After a while, Lu Wanying was heard sighing: "It's really a disaster for them both to meet you."
Liang Huan's lowered eyes darkened.
Lu Wanying stared at the man immersed in drinking tea, smiled, and added: "I didn't say these words." Liang Huan understood in her heart and had no intention of pursuing it.
At this time, a palace servant brought the meal and presented it to the table unhurriedly.
Lu Wanying no longer dwelled on the topic that was not embarrassing just now. He only looked at the meals one after another, but he read them carefully from beginning to end, with a look of disappointment on his face.
I couldn't help but tsk: "The meal for you, the Queen Mother, is too simple... During the national mourning period, slaughtering and killing of animals is prohibited. Even vegetarian dishes cannot be vegetarian like this."
When she said this, she cleared away the suffocating atmosphere.
Jinlan took the words at the right time and laughed softly: "This is because the Queen Mother knew that the Concubine wanted to have dinner together, so she ordered the servant to ask the Secretary to add more, otherwise there wouldn't be so much at ordinary times. ”
Lu Wanying was surprised: “The treasury is so short”
Liang Huan was helpless: "What are you talking about?"
Jinlan said while serving the dishes: "These two dishes are specially selected for the concubine's daily favorites. You can try them."
Liang Huan was not in a hurry to use it. He turned to the palace man on the other side and asked: "Is the emperor ready?"
The palace man only replied that the dinner and medicine had been used.
Lu Wanying picked up a few random items and used them. She had been eating these vegetarian foods for several months, but she really had no appetite.
On second thought, everything will return to normal tomorrow, and I feel better again.
Liang Huan's mind was not on the meal. He frowned and thought for a moment before ordering everyone to leave.
Lu Wanying held her chopsticks and looked up at Liang Han strangely: "My cousin, do you have anything to say to me?"
Liang Han nodded with a very serious expression: " Are you really not leaving the palace?”
Lu Wanying put down her chopsticks, sat up straight, and shook her head, completely different from the previous joke: “I want to stay.”
Liang Huan was not surprised and looked directly at her: "Why do you want to stay? Is it to find the Peony Seal, or to help Shangshu Ling monitor me?"
Lu Wanying hesitated and admitted: "Yes, both."
Liang Huan stopped talking and sighed softly: "Ah Ying, you are still young, there is no need to waste your time here. In fact, I told you that day to let you choose whether to stay or not. It’s not what I said unilaterally, it’s Gao—it’s the late Emperor. When he was still alive, we did tell you that if you want, you can marry someone else, the one you like.”
< br>Lu Wanying's eyes turned red, she lowered her head and was silent for a long time.
Liang Han waited quietly.
Lu Wanying slowly raised his eyes: "Liang Huan, what do you want? At first, I thought you were very similar to my aunt, and what you wanted was to be in a high position. However, after this period of time together, you will take care of Yang'er, You are so protective. If you only want to be in a high position, you don’t have to do everything yourself.
To say that you were kind to A Xin because he was born like my brother-in-law, but what about Yanger? , But Mr. Cao, don’t forget—”
Liang Huan shook his head and smiled, interrupting her: “Ah Ying, you have stayed in Jinye City for too long, and you have been taken over by the people of Anwufu here. Illusion has blinded your eyes; you have been trapped in this Nancheng Palace for too long, and your ears have been blocked by the melodious sounds of singing and singing here."
She moved her eyes to look at the dancing lights on the side. The voice was very low: "Do you know how cruel the battle between the two armies is? Have you ever seen what the so-called rivers of blood and mountains of dead bodies look like? Have you seen how the captured Qi people were hunted and killed like livestock? Is this fun? Have you ever walked through villages and towns one after another in order to get a drink of water, but they have long been in ruins and only ruins remain?"
Liang Huan pursed her lips and looked down. Back to Lu Wanying's face: "When I was a child, I was studying, my armor was infested with lice, and all the people died. White bones were exposed in the wild, and there was no rooster crow for thousands of miles. The people left hundreds of things, and the thought of them broke people's hearts. I didn't understand at that time, this shortcoming How does it feel when a few lines of words really appear before your eyes...
When all this has happened before your eyes, look at the people in the court again. They are still fighting against each other just for their own selfish desires..."
