Strange Tale of Qingluan

The purpose of Su Zhongming's conversation with Lou Linrou here has nothing to do with Shangyuan Hexiang, so he didn't want to involve Shangyuan Hexiang, so he immediately corrected the off topic, and opened his lips and said: "The Queen Mother just gave up on the huge things in front of her for the sake of feelings. From this point of view alone, I feel that the wrong person is being given over.”

Lou Linrou smiled slightly, and deliberately asked: "Oh? Then who is the best person to give way to the Ai family?" But in his heart, he hoped for Su Zhongming who was outside the curtain.

The beginning of the conversation was slowly approaching the chess game set by Su Zhongming. Su Zhongming acted according to circumstances and did not answer directly, but only asked a question: "During the 20 years of the Queen Mother's reign, did any heirs leave behind? There’s a sliver of trust left.”

Lou Linrou pondered for a moment before answering: "No. The Ai family has never had any children."

Su Zhongming couldn't help being startled when he heard this.

Originally, as long as we follow this matter, we can mention Yu Jia, and if we talk about family affection, maybe Lou Linrou will recognize Yu Jia, and Lou Tianying will be forced to abdicate at that time, and Su Zhongming will be able to learn from it. Get out and be free.However, he never expected that Lou Linrou would deny the fact that she had given birth to a child, which would be tantamount to denying the birth of Yujia.

The chess game where mother and son recognize each other seems to be disillusioned before their eyes.

Su Zhongming's heart began to be at a loss, unable to speak, and he had no idea about the next move.

However, Lou Linrou's eyes were fixed on him, and the smile on the corner of her lips penetrated the tricks in the woman's heart.After a while, Lou Linrou took the third cup of nourishing tea from Gong'e, and opened her lips: "At first, Aijia was still hesitating, but since you came to say hello so early, and also brought you the nourishing tea you made yourself, Aijia would be happy." Make a quick decision. I just ask you—are you willing to establish a mother-child relationship with Aijia?"

When Su Zhongming heard this, he was secretly surprised, but pretending to be calm, he asked: "The queen mother persuaded me to agree to marry that guy before, and the wedding banquet is over, why do you want to make such a request today?"

Lou Linrou replied: "If you worship Ai's family as your mother, even if you and Tianying have worshiped, Ai's family can order the imperial doctor to write a medical certificate declaring that the new king is insane, and he will be imprisoned immediately, and you Not only can you sit on the throne, but you can also enjoy the military power bestowed by the Ai family, and you can also take back the Wen country when the time comes."

Su Zhongming thought about it for a while, and then realized something, but because Lou Linrou had already jumped out of the chess game he had set up, he didn't intend to stay any longer, and simply said: "Don't bother the Queen Mother to care about the affairs of Wen Kingdom, since the Queen Mother already has an adopted son. , I should take good care of it. This morning, I was able to talk with the Queen Mother, and I feel very comfortable. At this hour, I should go back."

After saying that, he stood up, bowed slightly to Lou Linrou who was behind the curtain, and then turned and left.

After hearing that conversation, Baoqin was stunned in place, even when Su Zhongming got up and left.After Su Zhongming left, Baoqin faced the curtain and asked respectfully: "Little girl has a merciless request, and I hope the Queen Mother will allow it."

Lou Linrou replied, "Just ask."

After this generous promise, Bao Qin dared to open her lips: "The Empress Dowager and Mr. Su talked about Wen Guo's affairs, which seems to have something to do with Wen Guo's court? Then Mr. Su's identity...?"

Lou Linrou couldn't help being surprised, and then slightly raised the corners of her lips: "It seems that you were kept in the dark, didn't you? He never told you, presumably he didn't want to get into any trouble because of it. However, since you asked Aijia Now, the Ai family doesn’t hide anything—if there is no civil strife in the Wen Kingdom, he may still be the current King Wen.”

After hearing this, Baoqin couldn't help being startled, but it was a surprise that slowly melted in her heart.

After Su Zhongming left the Empress Dowager's bedroom, he was thinking while walking.Lou Linrou's chess game was played so dangerously that he couldn't find a way to break it for a while.

In Su Zhongming's view, Lou Linrou's decision was not just to stabilize the Taoxia royal family, nor could it be so easy to assist him in taking back Wenguo.If Su Zhongming establishes a mother-child relationship with her, not only Wen Country, but also Qingluan City will be at her mercy in the future, with clear ambitions.

However, rejecting Lou Linrou means that he has to fight against Lou Tianying and Lou Linrou in order to change Yujia as the new king, but this chess strategy seems to be endless, making Su Zhongming involuntarily anxious.

He bit his lower lip lightly, cleared his mind, and finally decided to find ways to get Lou Linrou and Yu Jia to recognize each other. As long as Lou Linrou admits that Yu Jia is his own son, then Lou Tianying will not be far from abdicating. .

Now, the most urgent thing is that he must try his best to let Yu Jia know his background and arouse Yu Jia's desire to fight for the throne.

After Baoqin left the queen mother's bedroom, she quickly followed Su Zhongming's pace. Su Zhongming turned around when he heard the footsteps, and slowed down when he saw Baoqin.

On the way back to Yimengzhai, both of them pretended to be silent, until they returned to Yimengzhai, Baoqin closed the door tightly, trying to lock all the conversations in the room, so as not to let the wind leak half of it.

As soon as Su Zhongming sat down, he said: "Lou Linrou denies the fact that she gave birth to a child, which means she denies the blood relationship with Yujia. It is impossible for Lou Linrou to personally recognize Yujia. We have to start from Yujia." , but we must let Yu Jia know his background, and plan with him to have a chance of winning."

After Baoqin turned around, she looked straight at him and didn't respond even after he finished speaking.

Su Zhongming raised his head, met Baoqin's eyes, and couldn't help being surprised: "Are you listening to what I said?"

Baoqin approached and just asked, "Young master, why did you hide it?"

Su Zhongming couldn't help but startled when he heard an irrelevant sentence, and said strangely: "Hiding... concealing? What did I hide?"

Baoqin replied: "Just now I learned at the Empress Dowager's bedroom that the young master used to be King Wen. When I talked with the young master about the former King Wen, the young master deliberately did not reveal that he was. What is the intention?"

Su Zhongming calmed down, and said honestly: "Did Lou Linrou tell you? Actually, the past is not important anymore. Maybe you really think that I was great at that time, but I am the real me now. I can live a little more freely after losing the throne, but... I don't want to be sorry to my mother in this world."

Baoqin was slightly taken aback: "The Empress Dowager Wen?"

Su Zhongming continued to confess: "In the struggle for power, she was forced into the palace by Uncle Wang. It was extremely miserable. Therefore, I must find an opportunity to return to Wen Country to capture Uncle Wang and clear up the grievances of my mother."

Baoqin replied: "I understand." Then she smiled slightly, "Sure enough, I saw the right person."

Now that he has confessed his identity, Su Zhongming simply confessed: "Actually, if this plan is successful, I want to use the troops of Taoxia Kingdom to attack Uncle Wang, but I'm worried that Yujia won't, so last time I used the punishment game to let him go." He signed the deal."

After hearing this, Baoqin didn't mind at all, and said with a smile: "Master, you can rest assured, Baoqin dares to make a guarantee——If you want to return to Wen Country, Taoxia Kingdom will definitely send troops to help you."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhongming must have been very happy, and smiled: "Then I thank you in advance."

After the words fell, there was a sudden silence, and there was a moment of silence.

Baoqin thought for a while, then remembered the topic started by Su Zhongming, and started again on this topic: "Young master just said that you want to tell Yujia about Yujia's life experience? My only worry is that Yujia will not be able to accept this fact .”

Su Zhongming replied: "The orphan of the royal family is still a child abandoned by his biological mother. He will definitely not be able to accept the detailed life experience. He must be very worried about why his biological mother abandoned him in the first place. His heart will hurt for a while, but I believe in Yujia."

Baoqin froze for a moment, staring straight at him.

Su Zhongming continued: "I believe that he will definitely understand the importance of the throne, and will definitely choose to plan with us for the sake of the royal blood in his body. The pain of life experience will make him stronger."

Bao Qin didn't dare to think things too beautifully and naively, and asked: "Then what if Yu Jia runs away after knowing her life experience? Because of the pain of life experience, she becomes cowardly, and even...would rush into the Queen Mother's bedroom to scold the Queen Mother?"

Once Lou Linrou knew that Yu Jia was not dead, she would definitely kill him, and then everything would be over, and the scheme of abolishing Lou Tianying and establishing Yu Jia as the new king would also be over—Bao Qin was worried about such a trend, Su Zhongming also understood.

Su Zhongming said affirmatively: "Yu Jia won't do this, just tell him bit by bit, don't stir up his emotions, I believe he will calm down, and then we will discuss a plan with us."

Baoqin lowered her eyes, and after thinking about it for a while, she felt that the only way to do this was to try it boldly.

One day later, it was a cold early morning.

After breakfast, Su Zhongming and Baoqin left Yimengzhai, stepping on the snow of the night before, facing the snowflakes blowing in front of them, walked forward quietly, Baoqin supported the oil-paper umbrella, and the snow fell On the umbrella surface, there is no sound, even if it rolls down and covers the footprints, there is no breath.

Their destination was Qiufang Hall, which had been abandoned for many years.

Before Lou Linrou was born, Nanny Lin had served Lou Linrou's grandmother, but since she was old and frail, she quit the palace maid squad.Only because of her meritorious service for many years, she can still live in the court, but she can only spend the rest of her life in this deserted palace. When Lou Linrou gave birth to Yujia, she was the last deacon of Nanny Lin in the bedroom.

For more than ten years, Nanny Lin has been concealing Yu Jia's life experience, and she only lied to those curious servants in the past, saying that she picked it up.

Qiufang Hall was far away from the harem, not too far from the imperial garden, so Yu Jia simply became an ordinary but very tired gardener.Because of unknown parents and unknown background, he has no friends since he was a child, only those flowers and plants are regarded as confidants by him.

The footsteps stopped, and the round umbrella was put away. Su Zhongming raised his right hand and knocked on the door. Baoqin waited quietly while holding the umbrella handle, facing the leisurely falling snowflakes.

After a while, the door opened, and when Mother Lin saw it was the two of them, she smiled and led them into the hall.

The old and peeling copper stove in the center of the hall is slowly spreading warmth, fighting against the cold air blowing in from the outside.After Nanny Lin led the people into the hall, she hastily closed the door tightly to prevent the cold air from entering the hall again.

Because as an old nanny living in a deserted courtyard, there are not many charcoal fires for the winter, even if Yu Jia gave up her share of charcoal fire, Nanny Lin was reluctant to use too much, the hall was only slightly warm all the time, Like late autumn.

After closing the door, Nanny Lin said embarrassedly: "If the queen thinks that this old slave is too cold, the old slave will immediately add some charcoal to the queen!" Although he cherishes charcoal, he dare not neglect Su Zhongming's status people.

Su Zhongming sat down and replied: "Don't bother Nanny Lin. Also, let me call you what I used to be." No matter what, it sounds better than this "Queen"...

Nanny Lin hurriedly agreed: "I know! I know!" She hurriedly asked again, "Is he here to look for Yujia? The old slave immediately went to call him, so I wronged Mr. Su to wait for a while."

Su Zhongming smiled generously.

After a while, the door of the hall was opened again, Yu Jia was the first to enter the hall, and wondered, "Master Su is here so early?"

Su Zhongming replied: "I have something to tell you, you should sit down first."

When Nanny Lin heard that they wanted to talk, she avoided them: "The old servant is stepping down for the time being."

Su Zhongming immediately said: "It's not necessary, I think I may need the help of Nanny Lin later."

Nanny Lin turned around and stepped aside.

Yu Jia asked Su Zhongming curiously: "What is it? Please enlighten me."

Su Zhongming thought for a while, and only asked: "Do you want to know your own life experience?"

As soon as the words fell, before Yu Jia could answer, Nurse Lin on the side showed a look of surprise, she looked at Su Zhongming in surprise, but she didn't dare to say a word like she was dumb after eating Coptis chinensis.

Yu Jia was startled for a moment, and then wondered: "Young Master Su...knows my background?!" Standing up hurriedly, she asked, "Did you know about it from the past, or did you find out recently?"

Su Zhongming replied: "I found out after entering the palace, thanks to Baoqin."

Yu Jia looked at Bao Qin in surprise, and said in surprise, "Bao Qin knows?!"
