Chapter forty-fifth
On the stone road up the mountain, the guards carried a sedan chair, and the palace maids followed slowly behind. Because of the light and simple journey, there were not many people in the guard of honor, which was no different from the wife of a wealthy family. Furong Temple had also cleared the road and the main hall in advance, waiting for the Empress Dowager to come to the door to burn incense and pray for Song.
Squeak squeak
The carved sedan chair made a slight sound as it walked. The queen mother sat in the sedan chair, leaning against the window with her chin on her hands, looking at the flowers and plants on the mountain, but her mind had already floated elsewhere.
Last time, how many times did it happen...
I will see that evil man later, so I must discipline myself for a few words. It's so presumptuous...
Over the past few days, the empress dowager has been troubled by the last incident, and the more she thinks about it, the more angry she feels.
She got drunk that night, as if she was pulling Xu Buling and not letting go. However, it was normal for someone to do something extraordinary when he got drunk, but he was not the case.
Xu Buling knew that she was drunk, but Hongluan was drunk...
What is this not taking advantage of others' danger?
When the empress dowager thought of this, Ruxing's eyes showed a little annoyed. A gentleman should sit in her arms without any hesitation. Even though she knew she was drunk, she would not have cut into pieces and should not have moved her fingers.
"Pooh-"
The empress dowager changed her hand and supported her chin. She looked at Shanye on the other side, feeling that she should explain it clearly to Xu Buling. Today, she must not have "all come." She had to have a long talk to explain the matter clearly and the importance of it.
She committed suicide after detoxification. Now she doesn't even have face and dignity. If she tied up the evil to detoxify, how could she be treated as...
After thinking about it, my heart was so chaotic that I was lost. When I was in a state of mind, the sedan chair arrived outside the main hall of Furong Temple. The owner of the temple greeted him outside in fear and fear. Qiao'e lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.
The Empress Dowager calmed down and looked dignified and generous. She slowly got off the sedan chair and burned three incense sticks in the main hall.
Under the fairy's nose, the Empress Dowager naturally did not dare to think about it, but just nodded seriously and muttered silently:
"This palace sacrifices itself for the world, and is definitely not a selfish desire. If there are evil thoughts in your heart, the Taoist ancestor can bring down the thunder punishment and crush them to pieces. This palace bears it alone..."
After saying that, the Empress Dowager stood in front of the Sanqing Patriarch and waited for a moment. Maybe it was because of guilt, and she frowned and closed her eyes.
The wind is gentle and sunny, and there is not even a cumulonimbus cloud, so naturally there will be no thunder.
"call……"
The empress dowager breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down. She turned around and walked out of the main hall and came to the yard where she was temporarily living. When it was getting dark, she drove all the palace maids out and sat on the soft couch. She folded her hands around her waist, sat upright, without makeup, and had a cold and arrogant look, and she was quite stunning in her conversation.
After thinking about it, the Queen Mother picked up the small bronze mirror from the soft couch and looked at it. After confirming that it was very serious, she did it again and counted silently in her heart:
"Ten, nine, eight...two, one!"
"Baby, why did you come here today?"
Gentle words sounded from my ears.
Breathing and blowing in my ears, the Queen Mother's hand tightened and turned slightly to her head, and her voice was cold:
"Xu Bu Ling! You sit down for me."
There are no lights in the house, and the light is relatively dim.
Xu Buling, wearing a black robe, looked calm and walked slowly to the empress dowager to sit down.
The Queen Mother quickly moved a little to the side, and her eyes signaled the chair beside the soft couch:
"Sit there."
Xu Buling stood up and sat on the chair next to him with a calm expression:
"Empress Dowager, what's wrong?"
"You're still embarrassed to say it?"
The queen mother's eyes were slightly cold, staring at Xu Buling who seemed to be nothing:
"What did you do on April 3rd? You beastly clothes... Bah—scary..."
Xu Buling coughed lightly, blushed when scolded, and said with a smile:
"I wanted to see the Queen Mother last time..."
"I said you don't let me come here on your own terms, you..."
"Well... the poisonous ants are sucking the heart, Aunt Lu goes down the mountain again, just by the way..."
"You still have the face to lift Hongluan?"
The queen mother's face turned red, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised her hand and pointed at Xu Buling:
"You... Hongluan treats you meticulously. I see it. It's better if you don't repay you with filial piety, but you're still in front of her...Are you human?"
Xu Buling was a little helpless: "That night, I arrived at the empress dowager's house and found Aunt Lu was there, so I wanted to leave directly."
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly and snorted coldly:
"Then why didn't you leave?"
"I saw the Queen Mother and Aunt Lu sleeping on the soft collapse. It was raining outside again. I was afraid that you would catch a cold, so I took you..."
"And then? When you see that I and Hongluan are unconscious, you..."
Xu Buling raised his hand and was a little innocent: "I covered my quilt at that time and wanted to leave, the Queen Mother hugged my neck..."
"Tu-" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "Shut up, how can I..."
"...I opened the empress dowager's fingers and the empress dowager said, 'Don't leave, it hasn't been detoxified yet'. Naturally, I didn't dare to take advantage of the danger at that time. The empress dowager said, 'It's so uncomfortable for brother'. I shook my head and said, 'I'm even more uncomfortable than you, baby. Don't make trouble.' As a result, the empress dowager got angry, beat Aunt Lu again, and said, 'I've come here', I can't do anything..."
The words were soft, and the confused scene at that time naturally came to my mind. The queen mother blushed and turned purple, held her hands tightly, and sat up straight for a while:
"Shut up! Stop talking... You can't take it seriously after drinking. You know that I am drunk, but you still take advantage of others' danger..."
Xu Buling blinked: "I thought the Queen Mother would help me detoxify..."
"I'm gonna-"
The empress dowager was so angry that she could hardly speak. She gritted her teeth, thought about it, and then said coldly:
"Fortunately Hongluan didn't find it, otherwise I will see how you explain it... I will tell you again. I will commit suicide afterwards to help you. If you do anything freely, I will jump off the mountain now!"
Xu Buling raised his hands: "Okay, the Queen Mother will not agree in the future, so I will never offend you."
"I need to agree when I wake up!"
"good."
"……snort-"
The queen mother pursed her lips, her expression finally eased a little, she turned her head and looked elsewhere, looking ignorant.
Xu Buling was silent for a moment, and he stood up with the armrest of the chair.
The Queen Mother quickly sat a little far away and stared at him cautiously:
"Don't move!"
Xu Buling froze on the chair, frowned and confused: "Don't you detoxify?"
"You sit down... you haven't said it clearly yet."
The Empress Dowager glanced coldly, then groped in her arms, took out a small mahogany sign, pointed to the "Zhengzheng" on it, and said in a deep voice:
"Last time...how many times did you get poison last time?"
Xu Buling was a little funny, and of course he didn't dare to laugh. He sat on the chair and said seriously:
"once."
The empress dowager frowned slightly, pinched the small mahogany sign in her hand and hesitated, and shook her head firmly:
"Don't fool me. I used to be twice... I promised that a hundred times would be a hundred times, and it would not work more than once. If you take advantage of this palace to get drunk and fish, I will die for you now!"
Xu Buling spread his hands: "It's just once."
"You can have evidence?"
"?"
Xu Buru turned his head slightly, which was a little puzzled.
