A crescent moon streaks across the delicate turrets, casting a hazy yellow light over the walls, making the vast palace mysterious and quiet.

After nightfall, a figure suddenly sneaked into Renshou Palace, and someone whispered outside the window: "Return to the Queen Mother, my subordinates have something important to report." ”

Empress Dowager Jiang had already gone to bed, and when she heard the sound, she hurriedly put on her clothes and ordered Mama Li, who was with her, to hold the lamp.

A little eunuch quietly entered the dormitory, and Empress Dowager Jiang asked urgently, "But what happened?"

"The Queen Mother, died after the abolition. ”

Empress Dowager Jiang was taken aback, "When did it happen?"

"Just tonight, it seems that he died by hitting the pillar, and the palace maid who was waiting heard the news of the death of the second highness after saying that it was abolished, and she couldn't stand the blow for a while, so she hit the pillar and cut herself. ”

Empress Dowager Jiang sighed lightly, and finally died, and the mountain that had been pressing on her head for a long time was finally uprooted. It's good to be dead, it's good to be dead, no one will know her secret anymore when she dies, and she can live this life in peace.

She whispered, "Someone was there when she died, did you say anything?"

"The emperor went up to see it, but he watched it for a while and left, and he didn't hear anything said. ”

What did he do after he went there? By the way, he went to report the news and told the woman that her son was dead.

She knew Feng Jingting's hatred, his hatred for his brothers, the abolished queen, and even the former emperor. How hard he lived in his childhood, how much he hated them.

This is the child she chose to be the most likely emperor, and she worked hard to turn him into her son. That year, she saw him in the back garden, who was only six years old, and he was already extraordinary at a young age, and he was so calm and unhurried in the face of the provocations of several brothers. At that time, she felt that this was a good material for the emperor, and he was the most likely to ascend the throne of the emperor's five sons.

She gambled, and in the end she made the right bet, so she sat in the position of the queen mother today and became the most noble woman in the harem.

But will the emperor be suspicious? The events of the year are inseparable from her, the queen who will always crush her, the woman who makes her the most hateful and hateful, won't tell him anything, right?

I was excited for a while, and I was a little uneasy in an instant, and said hurriedly: "Go and check, check well, what did you say to the emperor before committing suicide after the abolition." ”

"Yes. The little eunuch hurried away.

The outside is more drummed, and it is the third watch.

Mama Li said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, it's still early, go sleep for a while." ”

Empress Dowager Jiang shook her head, looking at the empty dormitory, for some reason she suddenly had no sleep, she should have been a winner in life, but for some reason, she felt lonely at this moment. She has been fighting for so long, grabbing for so long, in this life, apart from the position of the queen mother, what has she gotten?

Thinking like this, I couldn't sleep anymore, and sat at the head of the bed alone until dawn......

The next day, Mama Li found that she was sitting at the head of the bed, and suddenly realized that it was only overnight, and the Queen Mother seemed to be much older.

※

On the second day, the news that the second prince died of illness in the tomb of the former emperor and that the cold palace was abolished spread outside the palace. Paper has never been able to contain fire, and no one wants to hide it.

The emperor immediately issued an edict, and after the abolition of the abolition, he was the queen of Duan Yuanjing, and was buried with the queen's ceremony, and the second prince was named the virtuous prince, and he was buried in the royal cemetery with the respect of the prince.

At the beginning of the second prince's enthronement and deception to the world, the emperor did not kill him, but just let him go to guard the tomb for the first emperor, which is already considered benevolent. Today, he issued a decree to canonize him, which further demonstrates the broad-mindedness of His Majesty the Emperor. For a while, the court was full of praise, and the emperor, who had just ascended to the throne, was also deeply praised by the people.

However, when Guo Wenying heard the news, she was very disdainful, how did the second prince die, what depression ended, what kind of medicine did he drink too much, and he caused depression, right? Feng Jingting's methods She has long known it, and it is not easy to endure it until now.

silently killed the second prince, and let the sick queen vomit blood and die, and finally gained a good reputation, he used this trick really well. is ruthless, and he can endure his temperament, no wonder he was the one who won the world in the end.

But at this time, she is in no mood to care about other people's affairs, depending on whether people scold or praise, it has nothing to do with her. All she cared about was how to avenge her mother.

Today, Lu Weixin came with news that the scholar Xu Hang had been arrested and was detained in Jinyiwei Town. It's just that she was tortured by words and deeds, and it was inconvenient for people to bring it out, so let her go to the Zhenfu Division to see it herself.

Guo Wenying listened to the message, she was very happy, changed into men's clothes early in the morning, and wanted to go out quietly through the back door.

She had just walked to the corner of the back door when she suddenly saw Guo Yunqing sneaking in through the back door. The girl looked around, walking cautiously, looking like a thief.

When she suddenly raised her eyes and saw Guo Wenying, she was so frightened that she trembled, and stammered: "Big, big sister, you, are you going out?"

Guo Wenying nodded slightly, and didn't ask her what she was doing, the girl is old, and there are always some secrets that she can't tell outsiders. She didn't care, so she just said, "You go back first, don't let your wife find out that you're out." "Guo Yunqing is not as good as her, Fu Ying is still a little taboo about her, she doesn't dare to do anything to her, it's hard to say anything to Guo Yunqing.

Guo Yunqing nodded again and again, "Thank you, sister." ”

Guo Wenying said "um", just walked a few steps, and Guo Yunqing chased after him again, and said eagerly: "Big sister, when you see me today, please don't tell others." ”

"I won't say that. Guo Wenying bowed her head casually, didn't care about her anymore, and walked out of the back door. Fu Ying is not very effective in managing the back house, and the door of this mansion is not strictly managed, Guo Yunqing can run out without permission, which can be seen. But whether people are private lovers, or do something out of the ordinary, it has nothing to do with her.

At this moment, Lu Weixin outside was waiting for her, he was wearing a mighty brocade guard uniform, and when he saw her, he immediately smiled, "It's still your men's clothes that look pleasing to the eye." ”

Guo Wenying grinned, "Okay, don't be poor, let's go." ”

The two got into the carriage and rode all the way to the Fusi of Jinyi Wei Town. Everyone said that the Zhenfu Division was a ghost gate, and those who went in could shed their skin, she had only heard that it was terrifying, but she had never been here.

As soon as he entered the prison of Zhenfusi, he felt that it was gloomy inside, Guo Wenying suddenly thought of the situation in the prison of the Criminal Department, and suddenly he was not in the mood to go inside, so he told Lu Weixin to let him bring people out.

Lu Weixin responded happily, and after a while, two brocade guards came out with a person who was beaten to a bloody pulp, the head of the person was lowered, he couldn't see his face clearly, he couldn't see the scars on his body, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Guo Wenying frowned, "Isn't this a killing?"

Lu Weixin grinned, "Don't worry, Jinyiwei has a number of beatings, and he will never be killed." ”
