Empress Dowager Cui fell asleep for four hours, and only woke up in the middle of the night. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When she woke up, she still felt some pain in her head, but it was much better than before, probably because the doctor gave her an injection.

Her face was still a little pale, and she pressed her head with her hand, and then sighed slightly.

Aunt Liang, who was guarding her on the side, saw that she woke up, and hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, are you awake?" said as she reached out to help her up.

After the Empress Dowager Cui struggled to get up with Aunt Liang's hand, she glanced left and right at the quiet inner hall and asked, "The emperor is gone?"

Aunt Liang smiled lightly and said, "Yes, the emperor asked all the ladies of the harem to stay here to serve you." But the slave maid thought that so many people staying here would disturb the queen mother's rest, so she arranged for the ladies to go to the side hall to rest first, and when the queen mother woke up, she saw which lady you wanted to let come in to serve. ”

Saying that it would disturb the Empress Dowager Cui's rest is just an excuse, and the actual reason is just that you can't trust the emperor's harem.

Empress Dowager Cui nodded and said, "You did a good job." ”

He paused for a little sluggish as he spoke, and then asked, "What about Ning Guogong and An'er?"

Aunt Liang replied to her again: "The prince is a little seriously injured, so Ning Guogong took the prince out of the palace first. ”

Empress Dowager Cui instructed again: "Let a few imperial doctors go to Ning Guogong to take a good look at Cui An, the emperor will not show mercy to his subordinates, don't break people." ”

Aunt Liang comforted her and said: "The prince is a family that has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he can still withstand these dozens of boards." ”

Empress Dowager Cui didn't speak again, leaned on the big pillow on the bed, and closed her eyes. After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes again, and suddenly said to Aunt Liang: "Good work, the mourning family just had a dream, a terrible dream. The mourning family dreamed that the emperor had turned into a fierce tiger, and bit the mourning family and Jiong'er were bitten to death. In the dream, Jiong'er kept shouting to the mourning family, 'Help, the queen mother', and the mourning family wanted to save him, but the mourning family couldn't protect themselves. ”

Aunt Liang was startled, and hurriedly comforted her: "Queen Mother, this dream is all reversed, don't take it to heart." ”

Empress Dowager Cui shook her head and said, "The mourning family is thinking in a dream, this dream is really unlucky. But if you think about it, what this dream foreshadows is not very similar to reality. The emperor is now becoming more and more impatient with the Mourning family and the Cui family, and his methods are becoming more and more tough. In the past, the mourning family has always ignored that in the past two years, the emperor has not eaten away at the power of the Cui family and the mourning family in the court little by little like a tiger biting its prey. The emperor took all kinds of handles, and the mourners were either degraded or dismissed. ”

Like the Zhu family and the Jiang family, when the emperor wanted to punish them, she only felt that these were a very small part of the Cui family's forces, and they were insignificant, and the emperor would dispose of them if he disposed of them, and let her own people take their place again. But she forgot that no matter how big the force was, it was originally the gathering of these countless small forces. These people she thought could not affect the overall situation were disposed of, and the people she arranged did not succeed in taking their place, and as a result, a small part of the emperor collapsed, and finally disintegrated a large part of her and the Cui family.

The Cui family's control over the court has become more and more inadequate, but on the contrary, Yu Wenhong's power has been continuously consolidated.

Aunt Liang looked at the Empress Dowager Cui, and her heart was also very distressed, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red. This master, who she has served since she was a child, followed her from the Cui family to the palace and finally to the palace, watched her change from a naïve girl to a decisive queen to the queen mother, watched the first emperor treat her badly and snubbed her, and watched her fight with those women in the first emperor's harem for the sake of the family and the king of Qi, as if it had never stopped.

She knew how hard the Queen Mother had traveled this way, so she was so sympathetic and pitiful to her. Yes, sympathy and pity. This high-ranking queen mother, in fact, is not as good and beautiful as outsiders see.

Aunt Liang persuaded her: "Queen Mother, you have a good rest and recuperation first, you don't have to think about anything for the time being, there are a few uncles in the outside world." ”

Empress Dowager Cui shook her head, she couldn't feel at ease, from the moment she married the first emperor, she had never been at ease in the past few decades. She sometimes even thinks that for those who she has already fought down, Concubine Wande and Concubine Bai Xian have a better life than her, because they can finally rest and don't have to fight anymore.

Empress Dowager Cui said: "The emperor will not give the mourning family time to rest, he hates the mourning family." Do you think he doesn't know that Concubine Bai Xian's death back then was related to the Mourning family and the Cui family. The revenge of killing his mother, even if the mourning family is willing to retreat, he will not let go of the mourning family and the Cui family and even Jiong'er. So even if there is a dead end ahead, the mourning family can only continue to walk and strive for that glimmer of life. ”

Aunt Liang was a little confused when she heard what the Empress Dowager Cui said, but she heard that the Empress Dowager did not have full confidence in the future of the Cui family and King Qi.

Aunt Liang held the Queen Mother's hand and called: "The Queen Mother's ......" wanted to say something to make her relax, but was stopped by the Queen Mother Cui's raised hand and waved.

Empress Dowager Cui asked again: "Who is planning today's events?"

Aunt Liang smiled lightly and said, "This slave can't guess it." ”

Empress Dowager Cui naturally knew that she didn't know that she couldn't guess, but that she already had the object of suspicion in her heart, so she felt that there was no need to say it.

Empress Dowager Cui sighed deeply, leaned her back against the big pillow again, and her head throbbed again. At this time, she really misses her son, how many days does it take for Jiong'er to get to the capital?

At this time, in the Zichen Palace. Yu Wenhong didn't sleep yet.

The candlelight in the dormitory was dim, but the room was very quiet.

Yu Wenhong walked over slowly and walked to the couch. Although it was summer, because there was ice in the hall, Jiang Yu, who was lying on the couch, still wrapped the quilt tightly. At this time, his eyes were closed, as if he had fallen asleep, and his breathing seemed shallow and regular.

Yu Wenhong lifted the quilt on her body, reached out and picked her up from under her armpit, then walked to the bed, gently put her on the bed, and then followed himself to lie down next to her.

And Jiang Yu suddenly opened his eyes at this time, stared at Yu Wenhong who was lying on her side, and asked very calmly, "Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"

The conscience of heaven and earth, Jiang Yu really didn't pretend to be asleep, she was really asleep just now. But because of the habit of poor living environment since childhood, no matter how dead she sleeps, as long as there is a movement around her, she can wake up immediately, so she has already woken up when Yuwenhong came to hug her.
