There was a bad woman who bullied the emperor's eldest grandson. Why did King Chen let her hide it and not retaliate? Could it be that he had some ulterior relationship with that woman?
The Empress Dowager hated the son who was once the most favored by the late emperor, and was a little frightened. Although he was now living in a simple life and was indifferent, he was previously crazy (outsiders didn't know that King Chen was poisoned by a devil, so they just thought He was suffering from some kind of incurable disease) and it was frighteningly severe.
It is true that if gods stand in the way of gods and Buddhas, they will kill Buddhas and their relatives will not recognize them.
He was only eight or nine years old at that time, right? You can kill people without blinking an eye.
The Queen Mother still remembers the first time she saw King Chen falling ill.
His eyes were blood red, and his face and hands were covered in blood. He took one step and left a **** footprint on the spot.
He walked past her, his emotionless eyes swept across her body. At that moment, her hair stood on end, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She didn't dare to breathe until he was far away.
That look made her heart palpitate when she recalled it now.
As he grew older, King Chen gradually learned to control his emotions, and the frequency of his illnesses became less frequent. After she left the palace and built a mansion, she could no longer threaten her, and she gradually let go of her worries.
After the establishment of the palace, King Chen lived in seclusion and rarely appeared in public. There were gradually fewer rumors about him outside.
He would only appear in the palace during New Years and holidays.
The Queen Mother was happy to show her kindness in front of everyone, so she was very good to King Chen on the face. Only she knew in her heart how afraid she was of this concubine.
However, now for the sake of her beloved great-grandson, she had to call King Chen to the palace and inquire about it carefully.
Gu Xueting already knew what happened in the palace. When he entered the Queen Mother's Yikun Palace, he glanced at Gu Hongsun, who was nestling next to the Queen Mother.
Gu Hongsun felt very guilty. How could he dare to look at him now? I didn't even dare to raise my head.
Before Gu Xueting could salute, the Queen Mother offered her a seat without any courtesy, and after a gentle greeting, she got down to business.
"Prince Chen, it's not a big deal to call you here this time. It was because Hong'er had a nightmare last night, and when the Ai family asked about it, they found out that it was Hong'er who was being bullied outside, and that she was a woman. Hong'er is His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor, with such a noble status, has been bullied by a woman. If this word spreads, the royal family will lose face. "
The Queen Mother spoke sternly. Seeing that King Chen still looked cold and cold, without even moving his eyebrows, she felt angry and helpless.
She considered it for a moment, "You brought Hong'er back all the way. The Aijia thought that maybe someone was disrespectful to Hong'er somewhere where you couldn't see. The Aijia must find this person. I don't know. Does King Chen have any clues?"
Gu Xueting played with a string of nanmu Buddhist beads on his wrist, which was given to him by Master Changfeng when he was leaving. He said that when the mind is not calm, twisting the beads might be useful.
His fingers were long and slender, like jade and bamboo, and he slowly twisted the beads. Coupled with his expression that looked like ice and snow for thousands of years, he seemed like a **** beyond the world of mortals in the nine heavens.
Even if he doesn’t say a word, he can’t help but awe people from the heart.
When he heard the Queen Mother's words, "This person must be found," he paused in twisting the prayer beads, and a cold and sharp light flashed in his eyes, like a thunderbolt suddenly falling in the dark night.
“The Queen Mother must not have known that the woman was a monk. She was the one who helped the emperor’s eldest grandson break the effect of the Transformation Pill and transform him from a monkey back into a human body.”
The Empress Dowager knew about the Transformation Pill. It was refined by the imperial master and prepared to be presented to the emperor. However, it was eaten by her great-grandson and turned into a monkey and ran out of the palace.
Since that woman was able to remove the Transformation Pill, she must be strong in cultivation.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's face changed slightly.
Those monks are not at the same level as ordinary people, and even the emperor has to be wary of their unpredictable methods.
The person who bullied Hong'er was a monk, so it was a bit difficult to handle.
If you insist on seeking justice for Hong'er, you will inevitably have to antagonize the monk. What will happen when the monk comes to seek revenge?
Although the royal family also serves many monks, they can't protect her all the time, right?
Gu Xueting added: "That woman did not bully the emperor's eldest grandson, she just didn't know his identity and was not very respectful to him."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother’s original thoughts faded a bit.
It seems that she is making a fuss out of a molehill. Not to mention the monks outside the palace, even those who are worshiped by the royal family, are not very respectful to her as the queen mother.
Those people all regarded themselves as immortals, as if they had escaped the category of mortals, but she had to be wary when she thought of the methods they used.
After asking the question, the Queen Mother kindly invited Gu Xueting to have a meal, but Gu Xueting refused.
The Queen Mother did not show any anger on her face, and she smiled and asked people to send him out.
As soon as the person left, the expression on her face dropped, and she looked a little scary.
Gu Hongsun felt frightened and slowly moved out. The Queen Mother suddenly said: "Hong'er, where do you want to go?"
“I, I suddenly remembered that the homework assigned by the master has not been completed yet, so I will not disturb my great-grandmother’s meal.”
I wanted to slip out before I finished speaking.
“Stop!” the Queen Mother shouted.
Gu Hongsun didn't dare to move, turned around stiffly, and said with a sad face: "Great-grandmother, my grandson is wrong."
The Queen Mother was unmoved, "What's wrong?"
“I, I...” It took me a long time and I still couldn’t figure out why.
The Queen Mother sighed: "You were wrong because you didn't understand your opponent's situation and rashly exposed your thoughts."
“Huh?” Gu Hongsun was a little confused.
Even though he grew up in this treacherous palace, his scheming and intelligence are many times stronger than those of ordinary children, but after all, he is still young and is ignorant of many things.
The Queen Mother analyzed him carefully: "It would be fine if that woman was just an ordinary person, but unfortunately she is not. She is a monk with good cultivation, and she is kind to you. Without knowing your identity, she is... The fact that you are not respectful in your words does not serve as evidence that she bullied you. On the contrary, you have to be grateful to her. "
Seeing that Gu Hongsun looked dissatisfied, she lightly poked his forehead.
"You don't accept it, right? You have to hold it in if you don't accept it. Even if you take the complaint to your imperial grandfather, you won't accept it. Maybe your imperial grandfather will even reward others. So no matter what you think in your heart, you will not accept it on your face. You have to look grateful instead of feeling resentful because of the slightest disrespect, otherwise, who will be willing to obey you and work for you in the future?"
"First and second, that woman is a monk. If other monks know your attitude towards her, what do you think they will think? Do you still want to gain their support?"
"One more thing, your Uncle Chen obviously has an unusual attitude towards that woman. Why didn't you tell me about this? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have called your Uncle Chen to the palace. Originally, I was counting on you. I could take the opportunity to establish a good relationship with him, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to do so now.”
