Chapter 305: Concubine Mo Dies
When Meng Jiayuan in the north of Xinjiang was looking for Meng Lin, Chang'an, Xinshou Palace, and side halls.
In the inner hall filled with the smell of medicine, under the tent of the golden luan phoenix and hibiscus that was silently pulled up by the mutton fat jade Ruyi hook, Concubine Mo's hand slipped weakly from the wrist of King Gaomi.
The imperial doctor next to him looked at King Gaomi's face, tremblingly stepped forward and touched the pulse, cold sweat was rolling on his forehead, he took a deep breath, and after a while, he said, "Yu, tell the prince, Tai, Tai, Taifei Niangniang...... Mother, she's gone!"
King Gaomi didn't make a sound, he looked at the remains of his biological mother, Xu is because he just went, at this time, Concubine Mo seemed to be just asleep, and the skin of the concubine who was over the age of sixteen had already loosened out many lines, but because of years of pampering, she was still fair.
Because he has been sick during this time, he has not used Chinese decorations, and he has loosely wrapped his fallen horse bun and obliquely inserted a pair of immortals to take the phoenix coral point cuier hairpin.
Looking at it, you can vaguely see the shadow of the elegance of the year.
It's just that a scar on the cheek that has not yet fully healed has ruined the charm of this.
Cheng Huan's knees when he was a child, the earnest advice when he was a teenager, all kinds of private words between mother and son after getting married, and ...... Those painful regrets that were not at the beginning, and when you think about it, you feel that it is actually inevitable.
Decades of time passed in a hurry, and finally froze into a pale and weak face in front of him, never to wake up again.
"Lord Wang?" The call of the henchman with a slight trembling voice woke up the contemplative King Gaomi, who subconsciously touched his face, only to find that he had burst into tears unconsciously.
This made him feel apprehensive for a moment, and he once thought that because of those many barriers, he would not cry when the concubine went.
It's not that I don't want to cry, but I can't cry at all...... Because of those pasts, those gaps, those hurts and regrets that I can't bear to talk about but can't forget......
But who would have thought that in front of everyone, he would be so naturally unconscious?
At this moment, King Gaomi thought wistfully: "If my father appointed me to be the prince and was stopped by Huan Guanlan, I would honestly no longer have any ambitions, just be an idle king, live a good life with my son, be filial to my mother, and raise my children...... Isn't it that there haven't been so many ups and downs over the years?"
Especially, the son who has kept him in his throat so far, Rong Sleeping Crane.
Will he not treat him with thorns all over his body, but will he be as sincere as he is to Gongsun Shu and the Sheng family?
He will have a happy and harmonious home full of happiness and sweetness, even if he is over half a hundred years old now, he is pleased with the wisdom and filial piety of his children and grandchildren, and he can sleep peacefully every night.
Instead of thinking about all kinds of intrigues day and night, fighting the Meng family on the outside, and guarding against being dug by his own son on the inside...... Looking at himself in the mirror, his temples were born early, and his granddaughters are all about to become mothers, but he still can't concentrate on his old age......
A lifetime of such troubles and toil is only a lifetime......
Life in the world, a hundred years in a hurry, which way of life is not to live up to it?
All kinds of melancholy and sentimentality were staggered and churning in his mind, but such a weak chagrin only lingered in his heart for a moment, and he forcibly suppressed it.
Some things are predestined, and the so-called regret is just a blink of an eye, and given thousands of chances, people at that time will still make the same choice.
For example, Huan Guanlan's insistence on having no heirs, such as his dedication to the throne.
"The wood has become a boat, and the idea of uselessness is just a waste of Chenguang!" Raising his head, King Gaomi's eyes were flushed, but his expression had returned to normal, and he commanded lightly: "Order the three armies to send troops to Lin Yuan immediately to avenge the concubine!!"
"Although His Majesty in Shanglin Yuan is a stand-in, the Queen Mother is ......" The subconscious reminder of the henchman was interrupted by him: "Although the Queen Mother is the concubine of the first emperor and the biological mother of Xuanjing, but she helped the Meng family to usurp the throne, she has already isolated herself from the first emperor and the Rong family! In this case, what kind of face do you have to call yourself a lonely mother-in-law? From now on, you don't have to be the slut is the queen mother, just call it Meng's !!."
After saying this, he sat for a while before he said softly, "Tell the news of the death of the concubine to the Gaomi Palace, and invite the princess to come and preside over the funeral!"
It was only half an hour later, but only Rong Qingchu and his wife and Tonglian arrived with the grandchildren of King Gaomi, but there was no trace of the princess.
"The mother's body has not been good for the past two days, and when I heard the news of my grandmother's funeral, I felt uncomfortable, and I couldn't bear it, so it was really difficult to move. Looking at King Gaomi's ugly face, Rong Qing snorted, trying to defend Princess Gaomi, "So send us over first to wait for the dispatch...... Before going out, the mother repeatedly told us to do it for our grandmother. ”
Princess Gaomi has a bad relationship with Concubine Mo, not to mention that everyone knows about it, why doesn't King Gaomi know that it's all a pretext?
He couldn't bear to blame his son and daughter-in-law, waved his hand and asked them to stay in the side hall to clean up, and he hurried out of the palace, returned to the palace, and took three steps and two steps to Xiangji Hall.
After entering the door, I saw that the vestibule was silent, only a little maid with a green skirt and a double bun, holding a feather duster dyed in colorful colors, and dusting off the dust on the railing for a while.
When he saw King Gaomi, he hurriedly threw his duster and came up to meet him.
"What about the princess?" asked Gaomi Wang Tie with a blushing face.
"Niang Niang is in the gazebo of the pond behind......" The little maid did not finish her timid sentence, and King Gaomi had already thrown her down and hurriedly walked towards the gazebo.
When I got to the back, I saw Princess Gaomi and Aunt Zhao sitting in the pavilion, and when they got closer, they could still smell the fragrance of wine and food.
He was indignant in his heart, and after entering, he kicked over the table and said sharply: "The concubine is gone! Are you satisfied?
"What am I satisfied with?!" Seeing his aggressiveness, Aunt Zhao's face changed, and she subconsciously wanted to stand in front of Princess Gaomi, but Princess Gaomi pushed her away, stood up, looked directly at King Gaomi, smiled coldly, and said without shame, "Your biological mother is gone, you are sad for her, sad for her, and come to ask me for her guilt...... If I go one day, and I don't know my crane, will I do the same to me?!"
King Gaomi opened his mouth, his original anger was full, but he didn't know why he was only tired and couldn't come out.
And Princess Gaomi didn't plan to just forget it, and asked me sentence by sentence: "Rong Jing! I had nothing to do with you back then, because the first emperor wanted to pave the way for your future, and forcibly matched me with you, so that the Zhao family could be used by you! I and the Zhao family were originally innocent, but because of your royal family's dispute for the crown, I was forced to enter the game! Not to mention this one, and to say that since I was your princess, until He'er disappeared, you touched your conscience and told the truth: I am a little sorry for you, sorry for your warblers and swallows, sorry for your biological mother......
She laughed coldly, "I'm sorry for your good cousin?!"
“…… It's because we're sorry for you!" King Gaomi looked at her with a desolate expression in his hoarse voice, "But for more than ten years, haven't we tortured each other enough?!" Now that the mother concubine is gone, why can't we reveal it?!"
Princess Gaomi laughed out loud: "What are my own children like now, don't you know?! You still have the face to say the word 'revealed'?!"
She turned around, picked up a glass of wine that had not fallen to the ground because it had been placed on the top of the beauty next to her, splashed King Gaomi on her face, and said word for word, "I will never be far away, forever, and I will never reveal !! to your mother and son."
After speaking, he didn't care about King Gaomi's face, and walked away with his sleeves!
Aunt Zhao wanted to chase after her, but after thinking about it, she stopped and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, don't blame the princess...... The county lord of Qingfang came just now, and when he said that when the Marquis of Huaiyuan was guarding the city gate, a messenger happened to come and reported a bad news: the county lord of Huihe...... Dystocia, didn't survive. Mother and son...... It's all gone!"
King Gaomi was stunned for a moment before he realized who the county lord of Huihe was.
The couple's two youngest children, who are also girls, should have received the most pampering from their parents and the care of their siblings.
However......
Although he was not kicked out of the house like his second brother Rong Qingdrunk, and at the insistence of the county lord of Qingfang, he asked for the title of county lord, but he was rejected by his parents after all.
So much so that when she reached the age of leaving the cabinet, whether it was King Gaomi or Princess Gaomi, they all had the idea that out of sight was pure, so they casually found a distant husband and married her far away.
Although it is said that since the daughter came out of the cabinet, the couple have been ready to die, and the county lord of Huihe obviously knows this and has not contacted his mother's family again.
But...... At this moment, I heard that this daughter was gone, and even my nephew was not left, King Gaomi couldn't help but subconsciously look at the vast blue waves outside the pavilion, the lake water in this season was gentle and soft, like a young and innocent child who didn't know anything about the world, so quiet and bright, as if there was no haze.
After a while, he closed his eyes heavily, didn't say anything, and left.
And after a while, the old lady Qin, who hurried to the palace, looked at the daughter in front of her with a headache: "You are all grandmothers, and even Jian'an is going to have a child soon, why are you still so ignorant? That's your mother-in-law! You wish she died, she is the one you want to shout 'mother concubine' when you see her! And she is just a son of the prince! As a princess, you can't pay it back if you don't handle the aftermath for her personally, how can you not even show your face?!"
Old Madam Qin was angry, "If this matter gets out, what will outsiders think of my Zhao family?
"You can announce that you will kick my unfilial daughter out of the house!" However, Princess Gaomi didn't eat this at all, and said coldly, "This won't be able to bring your Zhao family's noble style!"
“…… That's not what I meant!" Old Madam Qin was stunned, and hurriedly changed her tone, "You are at odds with Concubine Mo, this matter has never been a secret. People who look a little bit in Chang'an can guess that the concubine must be responsible for the matter of He'er! In this way, it is understandable that you do not deal with her!"
"But at this time, He'er is here, but you don't even participate in the concubine's funeral, how can you not sympathize with her and arrange you?!"
"The truth of the matter, it is clear that you are the one who suffers and suffers grievances. ”
In the end, she won the hearts and minds of the people...... Don't you feel aggrieved at all?!"
Princess Gaomi was still cold: "The thing I regret the most in my life is that I listened to your teachings back then, and I was too sensible to care too much about the overall situation! I have lived until now, and it is time for me to be willful! Otherwise, in my life, will I live for you, or will I live for myself?!"
Old Madam Qin's face was pale, and after a while, she said: "Then you don't think about other people, don't think about yourself, what about He'er? Do you want him to be told that he has a biological mother who doesn't know how to be polite, not virtuous, and unfilial?"
These words hit Princess Gaomi's soft underbelly at once, and her face couldn't help but change!
Old Madam Qin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and made persistent efforts: "You don't know what the situation in Chang'an is at this time!
Seeing that her daughter was silent, the old lady said again, "The prince still has a grudge against He'er, although he is responsible, but to be honest, you are not at all wrong?
"Even if He'er doesn't look bad at this time, if the prince is willing to settle his past suspicions with him and reconcile with father and son, what else in this world can stop them from going into battle Father and son soldiers?!"
"A good family, you have to make this mess...... Alas!"
She showed a sad look, "You're in a particularly bad mood today, it was Qingfang who came to tell you about Huihe, right? I already said that because of He'er, you treated Qingdrunk and Huihe like that, and sooner or later you will regret it!"
"I don't have any regrets!" Princess Gaomi suddenly smiled coldly and said, "I told you early in the morning, I should have never given birth to them!"
The princess raised her head and glanced at Old Madam Qin lightly, "I'm in a bad mood because of Qingfang!"
"I'm really tired of this daughter who always doesn't have the same heart as me!"
"I knew that she was so annoying, I shouldn't have promised her to Yuan Streamer in the first place, but I should have married far away like Hui He, and saved me all day to provoke me!"
"......" Old Madam Qin was angry and didn't speak for a while, and after a while, she got up with a calm face, "Forget it! You can do whatever you like! I'm so old, I'm worried about this and that, and I have to endure coaxing one by one when I'm angry...... It's been like this for so many years!"
She choked up aggrievedly, "Why should I suffer? Anyway, I don't expect to live for a few more years, what scene can scare me?
