Chapter 495: Killing the Son
When what happened in the hall reached Rong Bai's ears, Hengqing had already returned. Hengqing couldn't hide the injury on his right hand, and he couldn't hide it when he was unconscious. Rong Bai saw such a balance, and he was even more distressed.
Fortunately, this time Hengqing was in a coma, and Bai Lisheng was present, so he could get an acupuncture anesthesia or something. Hengqing did not wake up until the wound on his hand was treated.
However, Hengqing, who had been in a coma all night, just woke up and heard a bad news that His Majesty had died.
Your Majesty's body is already at its limit. On the first day of going to court, it was also forcibly supported. even took medicine again halfway, it can be said that His Majesty is fighting with his life this time. However, in the end, he was angry with the things of the child's world.
His Majesty died, the queen's child was still in the womb, and as for the other concubines, the concubines of the middle palace had not yet come out, so where did they have the honor of giving birth to children. Therefore, after the death of His Majesty, Dayong faced an embarrassment without the crown prince ascending the throne.
The minister, who was active-minded, immediately thought of several of His Majesty's brothers.
Today, there are several His Royal Highnesses, namely King Yan in the frontier, the fourth prince who guards the imperial mausoleum, and the fifth prince and the seventh prince who are squatting in the capital. According to the eldest concubine system, in fact, King Yan is the most suitable to be the regent.
It's just that when the hundred officials were still planning to welcome King Yan back as the regent, something happened in the middle palace again.
The Fanbang beauty, who was originally "deeply favored by His Majesty", actually took advantage of everyone's inattention to assassinate the queen, although she did not succeed in killing the queen, but also killed Her Majesty's child.
This incident made the officials who had just found some clues confused again.
Everyone knows that no matter whether the queen is born male or female in the end, she is currently the eldest son of His Majesty, no, the first emperor. Moreover, another thing that everyone knows is that the Fanbang beauty was personally sent back by King Yan, who was about to become the regent.
Now, things won't be easy.
It was under this circumstance that Rong Bai was declared into the palace by the queen. The queen lost her beloved son, and it was not impossible to find someone to enter the palace to relieve her feelings, but this candidate chose Rong Bai, which surprised everyone.
Everyone knows that Rong Bai is the most famous brainless woman in the entire capital, how could the queen look for her?
Rong Bai didn't know why the queen would look for herself when something like this happened. Rong Bai and the queen have met a few times, and even these few times they have seen from afar, and they haven't even said anything.
Rong Bai, who entered the palace, was directly sent to the palace where the queen was, and then, the people on the left and right retreated, leaving only Rong Bai and the queen.
The queen was lying on the bed, wrapped in a thick quilt. The winter in the capital is extremely cold, not to mention, the queen has just lost her child now. The queen's face was pale, and her eyes were a little scattered.
"You're here. ”
"The courtiers have seen the queen's mother. Rong Bai knelt down on one leg and made a posture that military generals often do.
The queen looked at her a little blankly, then withdrew her gaze, and her tone was self-deprecating: "I, the queen, I'm afraid I won't be the head in a few days, so don't see you like this." "I didn't use such an estranged title as this palace, and the queen used a title like mine that I hadn't used for a long time.
"Come here. A hand stretched out from the quilt and beckoned to Rong Bai.
Rong Bai took a step forward, and his hand was grabbed by the queen mother. The queen mother is a typical Beijing girl, even if the fingers are cold, even if the thin only bones remain, the queen mother's hands are still much softer than those of Rong Bai.
Suddenly grabbed by such a hand, Rong Bai was a little overwhelmed.
"I only tell you about today's events, and I hope that you only tell Li Jia. Compared with Your Majesty, the person the queen mother trusts the most is actually Hengqing, who almost killed her at the beginning: "My child is my own hand." ”
After listening to this, Rong Bai's eyes widened, and he didn't believe what the queen mother said.
Coming to this era, Rong Bai has seen too many things that parents do for their children. There are those like Wen Wan, who are the eyes of the child, and there are those like Lin Shangshu, who can do anything for the child. However, like this, a person who killed his own child with his own hands, Rong Bai has really never seen it.
Rong Bai's hand, at some point, slipped out of the skinny and bony hand, took a step back suddenly, and looked at the queen in disbelief.
"Don't you look down on me?" said the queen with some loss in her voice.
"You, how can you give it up. "Rong Bai doesn't look down on the queen, he just thinks she's too strange.
Rong Bai's attitude towards his relatives is that he wants to cherish it because of loss. She and Xiaoheng have been abandoned by their parents since they were children, so seeing the infinite love of parents for their children in this world, Rong Bai is envious and yearning.
However, it turns out that there are people in every world, so cold-blooded and cold-hearted, even their own children can be abandoned.
"What can you do if you are reluctant?" The queen mother lying on the bed, two lines of tears slid down her sideburns.
Rong Bai was stunned.
"Now that I'm in this state, is there any other way?" the queen mother gritted her teeth: "Otherwise, I don't need you to understand me, but there is something you must help me tell Li Jia." ”
Rong Bai pursed his lips.
"Concubine Lian is a person from King Yan, and Her Majesty's poison is also under her. The queen mother looked at Rong Bai: "Concubine Lian, I will deal with you, but, King Yan, you must die." ”
The queen looked at Rong Bai like this until Rong Bai turned around to leave.
When Rong Bai turned around, the queen spoke again: "Don't look back, you can answer me a question." If, your child, lives in a world where there is only blood, and can only survive, constantly struggling, and reminding her to live in fear every day, are you really willing to let her live?"
The queen's words successfully dragged Rong Bai's footsteps.
What she said seemed to be a true portrayal of Rong Bai's life. Rong Bai has always resented because she was abandoned, but is the person who abandoned her really the one who loves her?
From birth, she was determined to have no abilities. Still, she lived at home until she was four years old.
"I love her, so I can't give birth to her. The queen was in tears.
Six months pregnant, it can already be determined whether it is a boy or a girl, so the queen has been controlling the imperial doctor who asked for a safe pulse. Even if the child is so old, no one knows whether the child is a boy or a girl.
However, this does not mean that the child will grow up safely after birth.
The queen knew the reason for His Majesty's accident, so she knew that if she really let King Yan be the regent, once the child was born, she and the child would become prisoners in the hands of King Yan.
"But you can't protect her?" asked Rong Bai.
"I can't even protect myself, how can I protect her?" the queen laughed.
If she could protect it well, how could she not be willing to protect it? The child is still four months before it is born, but what will happen in four months, the queen knows even if she doesn't have to think about it.
"King Yan, it's impossible to wait that long. The queen smiled wryly.
