Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 721 Fog, Hidden Secrets? (3)
To put it bluntly, the reason why the imperial court wanted to subdue Nantang completely was because it felt that Nantang's strength was not enough to compete with it, and regarded the existence of Nantang as a piece of fat.

How can you let others snoring beside the couch?

Regardless of whether the imperial court flattened Nantang or Nantang overthrew the imperial court, the future Song family must submit unconditionally.

On the contrary, if they can keep the two sides in this state of pinching each other——

In order not to let the Song family become the other party's help, they can only regard the Song family as a guest of honor, and dare not act rashly.

This is to survive in the cracks. This state sounds aggrieved, but in fact it is the best way out.

It's just that this road will not be easy.

The Empress Dowager Song didn't express her opinion right away, she stood up, stepped aside, and said after a while, "Have you made your decision?"

she asked, but in a determined tone.

Song Chuxi smelled something unusual from her attitude. Although she still couldn't figure out the meaning behind the words, it was inexplicable, and her heartbeat slowed down by half a beat.

She also stood up and walked behind the Empress Dowager Song, looking at the occasional wisp of hoarfrost in her hair, "Auntie thinks something is wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. The Ai family just thinks that you will have to work hard." The Empress Dowager Song said, "Xi'er, the Ai family has told you before that I hope you can find a safer man to live a peaceful life." The Ai family is getting old, some things, if you read too much, you will get tired, I am incompetent, I can't do the duty of an elder to you, first Chu Qi and then you, why are you bothering?"

Empress Dowager Song is a very tenacious person, such dejected words from her mouth seem inappropriate no matter how they are heard.

Song Chuxi lowered her eyes in silence.

Now it's not that she is unwilling to compromise, but that there is no second way for her to go.

She had no choice but to give up herself and become an accessory by Duanmuqi's side, let alone compromise with Yin Shao and his son and Beidi's royal family.

The two aunts and nephews did not say a word for a long time, and the time passed bit by bit in silence. After a while, the Empress Dowager Song turned around and sat back on the chair and said: "This matter, you don't care. Ai Jia, think again."

"Yeah!" Song Chuxi nodded, not forcing her too much.

"After dinner in a while, let's stay in the palace tonight." The Empress Dowager Song took another sip of the half-cold tea on the table. He said methodically, "I've been driving for a few days, so let's take a rest first."

"Yeah!" Song Chuxi took a deep look at her, and smiled calmly, "I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, and I want to talk to you more, so I will live with you tonight. I have already asked someone to arrange a place to stay, and I should be able to settle down tomorrow. Since I have come this time, I should stay for a while, and wait for Song Chengze's matter to be completely resolved before making plans. I have been staying with my aunt It's also inconvenient."

After all, this is the imperial palace, and even if the Empress Dowager Song doesn't see her, are there still people like the emperor and empress staring at her, under their noses, they will always be restricted by them.

"Yeah!" The Queen Mother Song didn't force her, and nodded in a very easy-to-talk manner, "The small kitchen should be ready for a while, you should go take a bath first and change your clothes."

"Okay." Song Chuxi nodded slightly, got up to go out, but only took two steps, then stopped again.

"Auntie, and—" She hesitated and turned her head, but she seemed to have something to hide, and she hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter?" Queen Mother Song then asked, raising her eyes and giving her a questioning look.

"Yes——" Song Chuxi opened her mouth, still hesitating a bit, and after a moment of consideration, she straightened her back and met her gaze, "It's about my eldest sister... It's been a few years since my aunt's here Don't have any clues about her?"

It has been six full years since Song Chuqi disappeared. During this time, she has not heard from her at all, and she has not seen anyone alive or dead.

A well-behaved living person, if something happened to her, she would never be in the state she is now.

When Song Chuqi was mentioned, Empress Dowager Song's eyes dimmed inexplicably.

She stood up and sighed with emotion, "Has it been so many years in a blink of an eye? Aijia remembers the last time I saw her, she is about the same age as you are now, that girl... Sigh!"

Empress Dowager Song's face also showed obvious disappointment and irritability. Song Chuxi saw it in her eyes and knew that she also knew nothing about Song Chuqi's affairs.

"Empress Dowager—" Nanny Zhuang also looked unbearable, stepped forward, and put her hand on her shoulder.

The comforting words of "Auspicious people have their own nature" have been used for so many years, and people who know the basics can no longer deceive themselves and others.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring this up to hurt you." Song Chuxi said, with a look of shame on her face, "I just always think that my eldest sister should still be alive, but I just can't figure it out. It's been so many years , What is her last resort, and she will never hear from her."

Six years!
Is Song Chuqi still alive?What happened in these six years?What happened to her?

But what's the point of discussing these now?
The longer the interval, the more unconfident it is. Now that I think about it, I even prefer to believe that she is gone, and I don't have the courage to pursue her whereabouts in the past few years and what may have happened to her.

"Forget it, it's really nothing." Empress Dowager Song waved her hand, "Go and rest."

Song Chuxi turned and walked out. The Empress Dowager Song watched her back, but the light in her eyes was inch by inch, and the evolution became more and more complicated.

"Queen Mother—" Nanny Zhuang sighed heavily, "Why didn't you persuade Miss Fourth just now? Let her continue like this, and I'm afraid she will blame you."

"How can I persuade you?" The Empress Dowager Song suddenly smiled wryly, and that smile appeared on her face, which made people feel strange and strange.

She looked up at Nanny Zhuang, "Make her do the same thing as me? Make her do the same thing as me?"

Nanny Zhuang opened her mouth, but she was speechless, and just looked at her with a complicated expression.

The arc of Empress Dowager Song's lips became more and more bitter. She stood up, turned around again and walked to the next shelf with a pot of dwarf pine. There was a long silence.

"Queen Mother—" Nanny Zhuang followed, and after a long time, she still couldn't help breaking the silence.

"Chu Qi has been missing for six years, Pei Qiu, don't you think there is something in what Cai Xi'er said just now?" Empress Dowager Song interrupted her suddenly.
