[Rebirth] Chronicle of the Two Capitals

Falling asleep quickly, but not sleeping well, Tang Yu had a dream.

In the dream, she returned to her previous life, to her college days. She was sitting in the lecture theater, and the teacher on the podium was teaching ancient Greek mythology.There once was a prince named Oedipus, who was burdened with the oracle of killing his father and marrying his mother. Married his mother and killed his biological father, fulfilling the original tragic prophecy.

The teacher stood on the podium, his face was blurred, his voice was as cold as a cold day, and he was as mechanical as a rigid nun who strictly abided by dogma.The teacher paused for a moment, and looked straight at Tang Yu under the podium. In a moment, she was the only student left in the huge auditorium.

She had nowhere to escape, she couldn't see the teacher's face clearly, but she seemed to be aware of her sharp knife-like eyes projecting coldly, she was like a sinner who was nailed to the cross to show the public, and there were too many crimes to be punished.

The psychological haze of shame and disgust generally enveloped her quickly, but at the same time, she became more and more confused.She didn't understand, she couldn't figure it out, what did she do wrong?Is it a great sin to like someone who shouldn't be liked?What's more, they were not related by blood, but their entangled fate bound them tightly together.

The teacher was aggressive, she wanted to fight, refute, and defend, but in vain, she was stuck in place, accepting the pointing and pointing of passers-by.Grievance, sadness, world-weariness, many complex and negative emotions almost overwhelmed her, the suffocation feeling was like a stormy sea, pressing hard on her, it was difficult to breathe, and she was on the verge of death.

In a daze, someone dispersed the onlookers and stretched out a slender, white hand to the helpless her. The voice was like a mountain spring, and it was extraordinarily ethereal and pleasant: "Xiao Qi, let's go home."

Tang Xi put his hand on it as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. She felt that this hand was soft and delicate to the touch, not as thick and wide as a man's, but it could give her the greatest sense of security. It was a safe haven where the sun shines and the seagulls linger.

She held this hand tightly, and subconsciously murmured: "Aunt... Aunt..." The voice was urgent and fast, and she babbled several times in her sleep. She woke up suddenly and opened her eyes wide.

As far as the eye can see, there are bed curtains with exquisite embroidery patterns and elegant colors, which are simple and luxurious.Tang Yu stared at the bed curtain without blinking, his agitated mind gradually calmed down, and his dissociated consciousness returned to his mind. Just now she caught the wind and cold, and took a nap for a while because she was exhausted. She was not in the lecture theater, she Not a student.She is in Xuanshi Palace, the controller of the huge empire, the symbol of the supreme imperial power, no one, no one dares to laugh at her face to face.

But what about behind the scenes?Aunt, what would you think of her?

Tang Yu's eyes dimmed instantly, she wanted to go to bed, and reluctantly ate something.Her body was weak and she needed something to use her strength. She wanted to push herself up, but suddenly found that her hand was tightly grasping someone's wrist!

She turned her head and met the empress dowager's eyes that were as dark as night and calm and waveless. She felt a little startled in her heart. Before she had time to escape, she was followed by the great grievance she suffered in the dream.She looked at the Empress Dowager, and her grievances hit her heart like clouds and waves. Without even thinking about it, she choked up and said, "Auntie..."

Since Tang Yu came to the throne, it is difficult to see her so weak and helpless again, as if she went back to the time when she designed to put her in danger a few years ago, she woke up from a dream and cried to herself hug her.

The Empress Dowager looked at her, sighed in her heart, did not pull away from her tightly held hand, but stretched out the other hand to caress her face in relief, and said softly: "My mother is here. Are you hungry?" The queen mother paused for a moment, and then added, "There is hot porridge under the kitchen, which is not cooked by the chef. Beside her bed, she even asked the palace servants about whether she was eating or not.

As if a huge temptation appeared in front of his eyes, many complicated emotions disappeared in an instant, and without asking what kind of porridge it was, Tang Yu nodded again and again: "I want to drink!"

The hot porridge is served in a porcelain cup, and when the lid is lifted, it is steaming and fragrant.The main ingredient of the hot porridge is Huzhou tribute rice. The rice grains are plump and crystal clear. When you eat it, it is sweet, glutinous and mellow, with endless aftertaste.She didn't have much appetite at first, but the queen mother fed it spoonful after spoonful to her mouth, all the taste buds were mobilized, and she was satisfied and happy to eat, so she ate three bowls in a row.

Tang Yan watched reluctantly as the empty porcelain cup was taken away by the palace servants, then looked at the Queen Mother, and praised sincerely: "Auntie's cooking skills are not inferior to the imperial chef's. If you can eat every day, you will be lucky in life!"

"Smart words. If you want to eat, I will make it for you when I have time. Even if you don't come, just send someone to say, and I will send you the meal." The Queen Mother said flatly.

Tang Yu was stunned suddenly, maybe the speaker didn't intend to hear it, but the Queen Mother's tone didn't have the slightest blame or complaint, but she could hear the deep meaning contained in it.She lowered her eyes, stared at the bed, and murmured: "Aniang, son... I want to come here..." Not seeing each other for a day is like three autumns. If you are worried, you can spend more time with her.

"Oh? Then why don't you come?" Probably didn't expect to get any reply from her, the Queen Mother lowered her voice, "It's okay if you don't come, I will leave you when you grow up, aunt, don't you know You toss yourself like this."

Her tone was full of self-blame, resentment, and disappointment. Tang Yu eagerly denied: "I haven't grown up, I can't leave you, even if I grow up, I won't leave you."

"Then would you like to tell me, why is it like this these days?" The queen mother looked at her haggard and sick face, suppressed her distress, and asked in a cold voice.She doesn't ask, it's not that she doesn't care, she just thinks that she will eventually become an adult, even if she is stumbled by a stone, she can step over it by herself.

I can't remember when was the last time I was reprimanded by the Queen Mother, but now that it is like this, Tang Yu feels a little bit lucky, a little bit proud, a little bit happy, only to her, only to her, the Queen Mother will show something other than calm and indifferent mood.

Of course, more of it was the habitual obedience and obedience. Tang Yan no longer dared to avoid the question and refused to answer it. After a little deliberation, he said in a devious way: "Perhaps the autumn wind is bleak, and my emotions are easily infected. For some reason, my son began to feel vaguely worried. If the day is separated from A Niang, how can it be hard to let go of it."

Liandong heard the words, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, isn't it unfounded to worry about the sky? Anyway, they are in the forbidden palace, how can they be separated?"

One word awakens the dreamer.Yes, she is the emperor and A Niang is the empress dowager, they always live together in daily life, they can get along day and night, what more do you want?If you like someone, you have to have her. She just wants to work side by side with her, which is not difficult to do.As for her intentions, for the sake of the overall situation and the long-term, it is necessary to bury it in the bottom of my heart.

Figured it out, touching the empress dowager's penetrating eyes, he no longer felt guilty, Tang Yu smirked and said, "I'm always confused when it comes to your affairs."

The Empress Dowager looked at her lightly, and had to scold her lightly: "If that's the case, you should tell me in detail that you are depressed in your heart, can the matter be resolved? It is not a good health to be sick for no reason."

After being reprimanded, you must be good in time, Tang Yu stared at the queen mother with wet eyes, and said sincerely: "Remember, I won't do it again next time."

The queen mother glanced at her again: "Is there a next time?"

It's really wrong.Tang Yun's face flushed with embarrassment, and he mumbled: "Well... there will be no next time, I dare not."

Chi Zai and Qing Dai chuckled beside him, a little tiger is a little tiger after all, his spine is bent and soft in front of his mother, if he is scolded again, how can he have any arrogance?

It was getting late, so she couldn't miss her recuperation, so the queen mother wanted to leave.

Tang Yu gently grabbed her sleeve and said coquettishly, "Mother, please stay a little longer."

The pestering energy is back at least, the queen mother no longer suspects that she is in a different mood, she just turned her head to look at her, and said indifferently: "Come back tomorrow, take a good rest, cover your sweat, and dispel the cold air."

"Wearing the body of guilt", how dare you stalk and stalk like usual, Tang Yu reluctantly agreed, lying on the couch and watching the queen mother go away.Afterwards, I fell asleep with ease all over my body, and my dreams were sweet and sweet.

In fact, the Empress Dowager did not return to Weiyang Palace, she stepped out of the bedroom, went around to the main hall, opened the memorials accumulated on the royal case, and began to review them carefully.To do anything, practice makes perfect, and a solid foundation is needed. She was in Jinling when she was young, and the Yan family had no daughters in politics, so Yan Huaixin only taught her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but Pei Zhiyao taught her the four books and five classics.

Pei Zhiyao used to be an official through the imperial examination, so her vision is naturally deeper than that of ordinary women, and she is influenced by her ears and eyes. The queen mother is not inferior to her mother.

Chi Zaiqingdai was waiting for the emperor's call outside the bedroom, and Liandong led the palace staff to light up the palace lanterns in the main hall one by one, gradually, the lights were like daylight, faintly brighter than usual.

On the same night, some people feel warm and comfortable, while others feel anxious and irritable.

The servant sent by Qin Mi to give gifts really judged the situation, and earnestly begged Wang Boyuan to mediate on his behalf, no matter what, it would not be difficult to save his family and life?

Is it difficult?Disaster!I have received all the gifts, can I return them?Wang Boyuan had his face swollen to look fat. He didn't want to be looked down upon. He claimed to be the hero who supported the emperor to reach the top. He didn't get a position in the previous battle. The emperor came to comfort him and make up for him. Obviously he valued him very much.That being the case, the emperor would always turn a blind eye and close his eyes for his sake, and would not press him tightly.

To solve the problem, we must go back to the source. The source of Qin Mi's matter is his greed for ink, sex, etc. Liu Zheng is not still alive, so he can find other excuses to evade it.The amount of ink corruption is small, and if the case is judged and punished, the crime will not be heavy.The Ministry of Criminal Justice was collecting evidence recently, and it needed to start from the Ministry of Criminal Justice. After the next day, Wang Boyuan rushed over without stopping.
