Chapter 402: The End (2)

After dealing with most of the memorials, Ban Hua ate with Rong Xia, but Rong Xia ate a medicinal diet suitable for wounds, while Ban Hua ate delicate dishes. However, Banhua deliberately teased Rong Xia, making him want to eat but not be able to.

Wang De looked at Rong Xia with infinite sympathy.

After lunch, Banhua talked with Rong Xia for a while, and after seeing him falling asleep, he looked at Ruyi with a slightly uncomfortable expression: "What happened?"

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager Fuping, please see me."

Ban Hua pressed the quilt for Rong Xia, covered her mouth and yawned: "No see."

"Empress Dowager Fuping said that she only saw her this time, and from now on, she will never disturb her being close again." Ruyi lowered her head and whispered in Banhua's ear, "Empress Dowager Fuping is kneeling outside the Xuanwu Gate. "

Compared with Suzaku Gate and Baidou Gate, where people come and go, there are not many people entering and leaving Xuanwu Gate. It is quite smart for Empress Dowager Fuping to choose to kneel here.

Banhua looked back at Rong Xia on the bed, closed her eyes and said, "Go ask her to go back, just say I don't want to see her."

"The servant understands."

Outside the Xuanwu Gate, no other officials passed by except the guards guarding the gate. The Empress Dowager Fuping knelt under the sun, without moving for half a minute, and did not attract anyone to watch.

She knew that if she knelt at the Suzaku Gate, maybe more people would notice her, but Ban Hua's temperament has always been soft rather than hard. If she really wanted to do that, not only would she not be able to soften Ban Hua, but it would make her more dissatisfied.

"Queen Dowager," Ruyi walked out of Xuanwumen, seeing the flushed face behind the Queen Mother, who didn't know how long she had been in the sun, knelt towards her, and stood beside her and said, "Your Majesty has an order, please go back early and meet with His Royal Highness. Still waiting for you."

When the Empress Dowager Fuping heard the word "He Prince", her shoulders trembled slightly, she looked at Ruyi, "Your mother, don't you even read it at all?"

"Empress Dowager," Ruyi shook her head and sighed, "His Royal Highness the Princess colluded with courtiers in the harem to assassinate His Majesty. If it weren't for His Majesty's great fortune, how would you have the opportunity to kneel here today? With the empress' temperament, I am afraid that you and Prince He will It will also be buried with His Majesty."

Empress Dowager Fuping turned pale: "But His Majesty..."

Isn't he all right?

The queen mother couldn't say that, she understood better than anyone else how big a crime An Le had committed. She did not expect that it was not the eldest son Jiang Han, but the eldest daughter An Le who could not accept the fall of the price reduction dynasty the most.

"But why is it the concept of asceticism?" Fuping looked at Ruyi desperately, "Why is it the concept of asceticism?"

The queen is a relative of the emperor, so she doesn't understand what the concept of asceticism is. Where is the quiet place for cultivating Taoism, it is clearly a hell that tortures people.

Ruyi wanted to say, Your Majesty is the man of the empress, and Princess Anle killed the man of the empress, how could the empress remain indifferent? But facing the collapsed eyes of the Empress Dowager Fuping, she felt that it would be futile to say more.

Empress Dowager Fuping shook her head in a trance: "I won't go, I won't go."

If she left, no one would be able to intercede for An Le. "

"Sister Ruyi," a female official in green clothes came out, and blessed Ruyi, "The empress said, let you take the Empress Dowager Fuping to the side hall."

Ruyi glanced at the scorching sun hanging in the sky, and nodded slowly.

In the main hall of the Great Moon Palace, Ban Hua took a sip of slightly cold tea, reached out to touch Rong Xia's lips, slightly curled her lips into a chuckle, turned and walked out.

Wang De bowed and stood beside him until Ban Hua's figure completely disappeared behind the palace gate before slowly standing up straight.

The person lying on the bed opened his eyes, listened to the silence of the room, and closed his eyes again.

Banhua looked at the queen mother who came in behind Ruyi, and raised her hand in a gesture of asking to sit down. The Empress Dowager Fuping sat down in silence, no one spoke for a long time in the room.

The Empress Dowager Fuping looked up at Ban Hua, and there was no joy or anger on the other's face.

"Your Majesty," Ban Hua said suddenly, "Do you know why His Majesty gave you the word Fuping?"

Empress Dowager Fuping slowly shook her head.

"Because I thought you would be blessed and peaceful in your later years, I asked Your Majesty for these two words." Banhua knew that the Queen Mother Fuping was the most innocent victim in these conspiracies and struggles. The man she married murdered loyal ministers. She didn't know this, but she sincerely treated the descendants of loyal ministers, such as their Ban family, such as Rong Xia. Whether her son is indecisive or violent, she cannot control them. Because her husband, who is the emperor, only needs one heir, he intentionally neglected the education of his second son.

She was born noble and has a lively personality. Although the edges and corners were worn away by the harem, Banhua had to admit that she was a victim of the dynasty's changes. She doesn't want to hurt her, but everyone has a close friend, and she is no exception.

When he learned the truth, Ban Hua even wanted An Le's life.

"Mother, are you still here to intercede for An Le?" Ban Hua's expression was indifferent, and his brows and eyes were full of alienation.

The Empress Dowager Fuping wept and said, "Your Majesty, you remove Anle's princess title and let her go to the Taoist temple to practice. I have no objection, but...why is it an ascetic temple? Anle was pampered and grew up. How does she live there?" Gotta go down?"

"Mother, Rong Xia is my husband." Banhua's throat was a little uncomfortable, "An Le has you and my cousin who wronged her, and I have family who wronged me. No matter how angry I was with her since we were young, there will always be someone Stand out for us, let us be arrogant and self-willed from childhood to adulthood."

"But Your Majesty is... only me," she trembled slightly with her fingertips holding the cup, "If I'm also thinking about safety, then who else is really thinking about him? Even if he is an emperor, even if he has a dimple in his chest, he Still alone."

"An Le, a member of the Rong family, plotted against him, and the courtiers were also busy calculating their own interests because of his injury and coma." When Banhua said this, he felt uncomfortable like a needle in his heart, "My own man, my own Distressed."

The Empress Dowager Fuping opened her mouth, and big drops of tears flowed from her eyes. Banhua had spoken to such an extent that she still didn't understand what she meant.

"Your Majesty, are you really so ruthless?"

"If your majesty hates me, then you will hate me, but the phoenix decree I issued will never be changed," Ban Hua stood up, "It's not because your majesty doesn't miss the kindness of my mother's parents' upbringing back then, but because I don't miss the old love. Empress, please go back."

The Empress Dowager Fuping looked at Banhua, not knowing whether she hated or resented, or whether she had no emotions at all, but her heart was empty and she couldn't grasp the truth. Who is to blame for her being in this situation in her current life?

Blame myself for being soft-hearted and let my parents take care of Rong Xia?

Blame His Majesty for treating Rong Xia too gracefully, which has fostered his ambition?
