Chapter 186: Hou Xue
Empress Xiao took Emperor Zhengde's withered hand, put it on her sideburns, and pulled the broken hair back, just as he looked at her when he was alive.
After cutting her hair, she put his hand on her lap and held it, and said with a smile, "You know what? Actually, you are the one who should be hated and resented." ”
Hearing this, Duan Yi, Deng Hai and the others turned their heads to look at her, but Empress Xiao seemed to be unaware, still looking at Emperor Zhengde and smiling, immersed in the world of only her and him.
She stretched out her hand to cut his hair, and said softly: "Do you know, I have been working hard to match you all my life, you are the emperor of the ages, then I will be the queen of the ages, you are admired by the world, then I will be praised by the world, praise me for being gentle and virtuous, and praise my mother for the world." However, you have spoiled me for many years, but I have never been able to give birth to a prince for you, every time you are pregnant, you are so happy, but in the end the joy has turned into a comfort for me. ”
"If I can't give birth to a prince, how can I be worthy of you? How can I say that I am a mother in the world? Therefore, I endured the heartache, forced you, pushed you to others, and even kept clinging to the matter of the heir. Finally, my demons have become yours. ”
"I ask the national teacher to tell the world what kind of women only conceive men and infertile women in their lives, no matter all means, I will tie up that woman, give birth to a prince for you, continue the bloodline, inherit your wisdom and martial arts, and inherit the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains you have laid down with your own hands. But I never thought that that person would be my sister, who loved you, but was finally given by you to the king of Zhenjiang, the sister who hated you from love to love. ”
"I think, this is the sin I created, from the beginning of pretending to her, pretending to be the sister who made you fall in love at first sight by the Jiangyue River, this sin has been in the middle. ”
Speaking of this, she paused, as if she was a little lacking in strength, she took a deep breath, bent down, lay on his body, raised her eyes and looked at him: "You also know what happened later, one wrong step, one wrong step, I fell into her trap, but I didn't dare to tell you the truth, only let you feel guilty and apologize......"
"So, you are the one who should be hated and blamed, and now that you know everything, let me ask you, do you hate me and hate me? If there is an afterlife, are you still willing to join me?"
Hearing her gradually low voice, the senior female officer couldn't help but turn her back and wipe her tears.
Looking at Emperor Zhengde's closed eyes, Empress Xiao sighed, then smiled and pouted, as if she had returned to the twenty-eighth year, and said to him in a girl's coquettish tone: "I don't care, anyway, if you don't refuse now, then I will treat you as if you are willing, so, I came to you, you wait for me for a while, don't go too fast, you know, my steps are small, if you go fast, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with you......"
Hearing this, everyone's hearts were full of joy, and Duan Yi stepped forward with an arrow: "Queen Mother......"
Empress Xiao coughed violently twice, black blood overflowed from the corners of her lips, Duan Yi's eyes turned red in an instant, and she shouted in a panic: "Imperial Doctor!"
Empress Xiao smiled weakly at him: "Emperor, no need. I drank dove poison, and there was no cure for it. ”
Hearing this, Duan Yi widened his eyes, couldn't bear it anymore and fell to his knees with a pop, and the tears finally slipped down, dripping to the ground and soaking the ground.
Empress Xiao stretched out her hand with difficulty and gently rubbed his dharma top, just like when he was a child, she looked at him and said softly: "Emperor, it is the queen mother's lifelong desire to be able to work with her father, and now your wish has come true, you should be happy for the queen mother." Your father won't be so lonely on the road. ”
Duan Yi was silent, Empress Xiao put down her hand and sighed: "Queen Mother, I am old, and following you is just a drag, after burying my father and mother together, I will act according to your plan and your father's plan, you grow up, your father is relieved to hand over everything to you, and the queen mother is naturally at ease." ”
Hearing this, Duan Yi raised his head and was about to say something, but saw Empress Xiao slowly close her eyes......
The civil and military officials in the main hall of the court, before the howling and crying stopped, another eunuch walked out of the apse, also with tears in his eyes, and preached bitterly: "Houxue." ”
The bell of the emperor rang in the palace, and the mellow sound gradually spread, followed by the surrounding temples ringing the bell, and the entire capital was suddenly shrouded in a bell.
Whoever hears it weeps bitterly.
Lu Zhi listened to the bell silently, her heart was in chaos, the emperor rang the bell ninety-nine and eighty-one, and she heard it forty times before she came back to her senses under Chun'er's reminder.
She looked at Chun Xia Qiu who was a little apprehensive and uneasy, and took a deep breath: "Xia Er went to be the carriage, Chun'er went to inform Mrs. and Chen, and asked them to quickly move the arranged carry-on salute to the back door, and Qiu'er went to move our salute, and we set off immediately!"
Spring, Xia and Autumn responded to the order, and Lu Zhi walked to the outside of the courtyard, facing the direction of the palace, listening to the bell and being silent.
Most of the salutes were carried into the carriage early, and only some of the personal salutes had to be carried, so in less than a moment, everything was ready, and Chen and Madame Wu were already waiting at the back door.
Chun'er came to urge, Lu Zhi paused for a moment, and finally raised her feet and walked to the backyard.
There were four carriages in total, one for Lu Zhi, Mrs. Wu, Chen, and their respective maids, and one for carrying some salutes and supplies needed for the road.
After Lu Zhi arrived, Mrs. Wu, Chen and Lu Zhi looked at each other and smiled, and then they each got into the carriage, and at this moment, the bell stopped, and the carriage began to move slowly towards the city gate.
However, the carriage did not travel for a while, and the death knell of the palace began to ring again.
Mo said that it was Lu Zhi, even the coachman was startled when he heard the bell, and the three people in the carriage looked at each other in panic, and then looked at Lu Zhi in unison: "Miss...... It's ......"
This is the bell of the posterior, Lu Zhi can hear it clearly, and she knows it, she lifted the curtain of the car, and couldn't help but look back in the direction of the palace, what she saw was a crying crowd, and what she heard was a crying sound.
She knew that the pain of these people, the tears of these people, was never one ten-thousandth of that person!
The carriage was still moving, Lu Zhi looked at the palace and was silent, I don't know how long it was, she suddenly lowered the curtain, lowered her eyes, and finally spoke: "Stop." ”
The carriage stopped, Lu Zhi got out of the carriage, and stood quietly under the worried eyes of the three of Chun, Xia and Qiu, looking at the direction of the palace, she thought, perhaps, he would think of her in this most painful day.
Perhaps, this time, she shouldn't have made matters worse......
Mrs. Wu also got out of the carriage, came to Lu Zhi's side, stood with her, looked at her side face, looked at the direction of the palace, and said softly: "Let's go to the dock first, and wait for you at the dock for three days." ”
