096 The Empress Dowager awakens
The queen mother was furious, her hand held the coffin tightly, her chest continued to rise and fall, after a while, she let go of her hand, looked back and sneered twice, and said: "Go, the mourning family wants to see how he can sophistry this time." β
Unaware of the unsuspecting You Fang Langzhong.
You Fanglang who dared to steal things in her palace?
It's ridiculous.
But the most ridiculous thing is that she is too confident and underestimates the enemy, and trusts her own judgment too much, she has already suffered a loss from Chai Shao once, but she didn't expect to repeat the same mistake this time.
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to be calm and reasonable, and quickly dissected the ins and outs of the matter in her mind.
After the Empress Dowager fell ill, Xiao Huiqun took Cheng Yinghua into the palace and brought out the Sheng family and Chai Yi, who she admitted made her heart a little flustered.
Probably because of his age, he was not as ruthless and resolute as he was when he was young, and now he feels flustered by the uncertain potential threat.
The Queen Mother hooked the corners of her lips self-deprecatingly.
Then Wang Xiuxiu was involved...... It also made her suspicious of the Wang family in her heart, and just last night, the Wenxuan Hall where she had been working and living for a long time was invaded and stolen.
Let her mess with herself, suspect the Wang family, and steal evidence from her at the same time......
What else?
There must have been something else she hadn't thought of.
As he was thinking, Father-in-law, who had been checking his surroundings, suddenly stopped, and he squatted on the ground to investigate, making sure that he was not mistaken, this was indeed the mark left when he opened the mechanism.
But it turned out that when Cheng Yinghua opened the mechanism, he secretly used silver to draw small traces everywhere.
Although he didn't know what was going underneath, he just didn't want Hanshi to get what he wanted, and at the same time left a second way back for himself.
After all, he left a line when he was drugged.
If Han Shi cheats him, then he will also pit back.
So it is not surprising that Grandpa Bu can find this place, and he opened the second layer of the secret room in this order, which is also expected by Cheng Yinghua.
Cheng Yinghua, who was pressed to go to Wenxuan Palace, gently cheered himself up in his heart.
He had given the book to the proper people for safekeeping.
According to the current state, Wang Yan will never be able to find out. As for the people in the longevity palace, he gave them a medicine to soothe their sleep, but they didn't feel like they were asleep.
Even the people who took care of him would always think that they were in the room and did not come out.
And in the Wenxuan Palace, when he gave Korean medicine, he deliberately gave one of the ingredients, if he sincerely helped Chai Yi, when the two of them came out, he would naturally be seamless.
But the Korean style wants to kill him.
Then everyone can only die together.
Presumably, Wang Yan had already discovered the second layer of the secret room at this time.
Hmph.
Rao is the queen mother's person who meets the world like this, and when she sees the scene in front of her, she still feels nervous and incredible.
She walked step by step in this secret room where she could not see the light of day, looking at the things scattered all over the ground, the few yellow talismans that were burned, and the chaff that had been thrown on the ground......
As you can imagine, just last night, it might have remained as it was, but the people who came in destroyed it.
And its original appearance......
As a woman who had been immersed in the palace for so many years, the Queen Mother quickly thought of the purpose of this secret room: suppression!
There has been a lot of repression here...... And it must be a woman.
Although the battle in the harem has always been ruthless, it can be seen how much hatred there is to be locked in her body and soul after death.
And this secret room ......
"If the mourners remember correctly, when we first discovered the secret room, you said that this place has been built for about forty years, right?"
Father-in-law nodded.
His face was full of solemnity and guilt, "The minion is incompetent, let you ......"
The Queen Mother interrupted him with a wave of her hand, and said, "When did the mourning family fear this? β
"It's nothing more than the suppression of a dead man, it's nothing more than someone digging up the dead man. She came to the humble coffin in the nervous eyes of her father-in-law, raised her eyebrows and looked inside, and then her eyes were slightly stunned.
More than 40 years......
No matter what kind of corpse it is, it should have turned into dry bones a long time ago, and the inside of this coffin should have been infected with flesh and blood and withered, but now inside this coffin, it is as clean as the heart, and it can reach this point, unless it ...... Unless the body hasn't decomposed for decades.
Like a new life.
How so?
In other words, what the man took yesterday was not a dry bone, but a real corpse?
After a pause, the Queen Mother exhaled, perhaps by pouring mercury, or using other methods to keep it incorruptible, which doesn't mean anything?
Only, the corpse of forty years ago, when the Empress Dowager was in charge of the harem, appeared!
Who could it be?
"When the Empress Dowager was the empress dowager, did she have a more favored concubine?"
Father-in-law Bu did not enter the palace at that time, after entering the palace, the queen mother was in charge, and the emperor at that time also drank her affection, although there were concubines in the harem, but there was no difference between it and the decorations.
He thought about it for a while, and said with a flash of inspiration: "According to legend, there was a famous Xia Shufei at that time, and it is said that she also caused the rebellion of the vassal kings or something, could it?"
The Queen Mother scoffed.
How could a woman cause a rebellion of the vassal kings?
It's nothing more than a wild history made up by the folks.
After all, if there really is such a Xia Shufei in existence, it is impossible for the palace classics, the emperor's living records, and the harem roster to be completely unrecorded.
After all, the legend says that the emperor loves this woman affectionately, doesn't he?
It's just that she remembered reading the history books a long time ago, and there was a relatively famous family surnamed Xia in the previous dynasty, but it was inexplicably defeated in this dynasty.
The Queen Mother shook her head, shaking off the inexplicable association.
She turned her head and said to Bu Gong: "It's not yet the time of the early dynasty, the gate of the entire palace has not been opened, and even if the body is stolen, it has not been transported out." β
"You now immediately inform all the palace gates that they will not be opened today if there is anything to do, and let all the ministers go home and rest today. β
"The mourners must arrest him. β
"Even if it's three feet into the ground. β
After the queen mother finished her order, she returned to the palace with Gonggong Bu, at this time Cheng Yinghua had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, grinning and changing his posture from time to time.
After hearing the footsteps of the Queen Mother, he quickly knelt upright, revealing the appearance of a good baby.
"I don't know what the Queen Mother is calling Xiao Shi for so early?" he looked up at the sky outside and muttered very quietly: "It's still dark." β
The Queen Mother raised an eyebrow.
said: "Don't you know why the mourning family is looking for you?"
"You came to the mourning palace in the middle of the night to steal things, you are very bold. β
"Tell me, what does Chai Yi want you to steal?"
"Little wrong!"
Cheng Yinghua knelt on the ground and shouted wronged, so he almost rolled back and forth on the ground, he said: "Yes, the little one is a dog skin plaster, and he is also a deceptive business, but the sky is above, the little one really never steals, otherwise he will die and have no face to see the ancestors." β
After a pause, he blinked and asked, "Queen Mother, are you missing something? gold or silver? or pearls?"
He secretly lifted his eyelids, glanced at the Bogu shelf, and said, "Ah, that glazed bottle is still there." β
The Queen Mother's face was black.
This pretending to be crazy and stupid really wants to slap him to death. "What, you want to let the mourners be tortured?"
"It's not a small one, even if you kill a small one, I won't give in. Cheng Yinghua patted his chest, revealing an expression of 'unyielding'.
But his face is too obscene, and even such a heroic expression can't make him look right.
The Queen Mother twitched the corners of her mouth and turned her face away.
Father-in-law's movements were very fast, and with his henchmen he almost assaulted, first surrounding the entire Wenxuan Palace.
And Shen Hanzhang, who was far away in the Great Sage Palace, had already gotten up and was about to go to the early court, and also received a notice to avoid the court, and her footsteps paused there and asked, "But the queen mother is sick?"
The man shook his head and said, "The slave doesn't know." β
"The Empress Dowager means that you just need to stay in the palace and wait for news. β
Not only her, but all the people in the palace were notified that they were not allowed to go out, and at the same time, a large number of royal guards arrived to guard each palace.
In the Longevity Palace, Imperial Physician Ai sat there, bowing his head and pondering slightly.
Imperial Physician Gao glanced at the Imperial Forest Army guarding outside with a black face, glanced at the iceberg face beside him, sighed sadly, and said, "I don't know what happened in this palace, why don't you stop for a day." β
"Isn't it okay for everyone to live happily? β
He muttered a lot, but Doctor Ai never responded, and finally Doctor Gao snorted very dissatisfied, pinched Doctor Ai's arm and said, "Did you listen to me?"
The tone has the shyness of the aura of a fan girl.
Imperial Physician Ai raised his head and said with a puzzled 'um',
Doctor Gao sniffed hard, shook his head, and said, "No, except for the smell of medicine, it is still the smell of medicine." β
It's really that the smell of this medicine is too strong, and it is estimated that it will not drift away for half a year.
Really, isn't?
But Dr. Ai always felt that something was strange.
Just as he was about to continue thinking, the voice of the maidservant came from the room of the Empress Dowager: "The Empress Dowager is awake." β
Alan jerked to his feet.
The first to walk towards the inner bed, there was an uncontrollable excitement in his heart, finally healed, finally woke up, he thought that even if the poison was solved, people would not get better?
What's more, he was finally able to get out of here.
Only...... I don't know if the Queen Mother will be able to let him go when the time comes.
The lack of movement these days has always made Alan feel that he has a knife around his neck, but he doesn't know when the knife will fall.
This can be seen in its torturous Cheng dΓΉ.
In the dormitory, the Empress Dowager was already helped up by the maidservant and was trying to drink water.
When her throat was a little clearer, she said intermittently: "Mourning family...... This is, what's wrong?"
The palace maid whispered to her what had happened during this time.
The angry Empress Dowager's forehead kept beating.
The mood also began to fluctuate strongly.
When Imperial Physician Ai walked in, he saw that she was panting heavily, and hurriedly ran forward, pressed her wrist, and said, "The Empress Dowager, your current body is not suitable for excitement, please pay attention." β
The Empress Dowager pushed him away vigorously.
After a while, he gradually eased his feelings and said, "What about that slut in Huaiqing?"
"What about in the dungeon?"
A palace maid replied.
"Bring her to the mourning family, the mourning family wants to kill her, kill her with their own hands. "Dare to steal poison from her, if it weren't for her life, she would have died in a daze at the hands of that little slut.
I think when she was young, she didn't experience any winds and waves, but she didn't expect it to be folded in the hands of Huaiqing, a little slut.
The palace maid hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Slave, slave...... The Queen Mother just sent a notice, saying that all the people in the palace are not allowed to go out, and there are guards outside by the Royal Forest Army, and the slaves and maids can't get out. β
"What is Wang Yan doing with this slut?"
The Empress Dowager is getting more and more angry.
Why didn't one or two of them make her happy.
"The slave doesn't know. β
Everyone knelt on the ground, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out again.
The Empress Dowager tried to get up and get out of bed by herself, but she found it difficult to even move her body, and she looked down slightly to see her withered hands, and her heart collapsed for a moment.
Is this dull and dark spot like a dead branch tearing her apart?
"Bring a mirror to the mourners, bring the mirror. β
The palace maids did not dare to disobey her orders, and trembled to bring the mirror to her eyes, and with just one glance, the Empress Dowager knocked the mirror to the ground.
This is not her?
Isn't this person with hair like withered grass, and a thin face with only big eyes left, like a skeleton?
Even if she is old, she is still in a graceful old state, and she will definitely not be what she is now.
The Empress Dowager suddenly thought of the woman she had seen in her long sleep...... Even after so many years, the old emperor has died, and she has become the appearance of an old woman, only that woman is still so beautiful.
Beauty inspires everyone.
The beautiful husband indulged in it at a glance, and **** had a private meeting with that.
The Empress Dowager's eyes welled up with all kinds of affection, and finally deposited into a smug smile.
What about beauty?
It's not dead yet.
The death is so humble and miserable, and it will be suppressed for thousands of years after death.
She laughed foolishly.
Said: "Comb the hair of the mourning family." β
"Let Wang Yan and His Majesty come to see the mourning family, and say that the mourning family has woken up. β
She is the only one alive and well in this world.
And will continue to live.
Since the Empress Dowager went crazy, Imperial Doctor Ai consciously retreated, but the doubts in her heart became more and more profound.
The taste is really wrong.
It seems to have been given a drug that is not easy to detect.
Does it have anything to do with martial law at this time?
