Under the light of the lights, Queen Qin's complexion looked excellent, as if she no longer saw the weakness that had lingered on the sickbed for a long time, as if she had never had a withered and pale sick face, and her eyes were becoming more and more clear. Everyone felt a pang in their hearts, and they couldn't help but think of "returning to the light", and the surprise brought out a deeper sense of sorrow.

Empress Qin leaned on Princess Qinghe's arms, looked around at her children and grandchildren, sighed lightly with relief, and smiled: "The sage called you all back for me." I didn't agree at first, but he knew me better than I knew me - indeed, with you all around, I had no regrets. ”

The saint held her hand, shed tears before speaking, and choked up: "Zitong...... Just hold on a little longer...... In a few years, it will definitely be more lively around us...... When the time comes, I will abdicate and accompany you to tease Sun ......"

"Erlang, I can survive until now, and I am satisfied to see my grandchildren marry wives and have children. Destiny is like this, and there is no need to be sad. Don't mention anything like abdication, after all, you don't have any jokes. Empress Qin comforted him softly, and her eyes fell on Li Song again, "Da Lang, I heard what you just said." Do you hate me? Blame me? ”

With her inquiry, Li Song's whole body trembled violently, and when he raised his eyes, there was no longer any drunkenness in his eyes. The mother and son looked at each other from a distance, perhaps for the first time after many years, they looked at each other carefully, and then they found that they were no longer the same as before.

Li Song's lips trembled, he couldn't say half a word, Empress Qin looked at him, and said helplessly: "You have become like this now, how can I bear to look at you?" And how can I not be disappointed? How much was expected of you at the beginning, and how deep the disappointment was in you later. ”

"Yes, maybe you should hate me, you should blame me. It's my fault that I didn't teach you well; It is my fault for not convincing your father not to be transgressive, not to be proper, not to neglect others for personal favors. But my greatest mistake is to support him to make you the crown prince, just because you are the eldest and the elder—"

When she said this, it was like a shock, not only Li Song's expression changed suddenly, but even Li Tai and Li Kun next to her were also greatly moved. The grandchildren all held their breath, and their eyes could not hide their surprise. Especially Li Hui, who was dissatisfied with Li Song, listened very carefully.

The sage was also stunned, and listened to Empress Qin continue: "The prince of the East Palace, the prince of the country, must be different from ordinary people. You've always thought that we're too strict with you, and we're not as good as Saburo and Goro in terms of pampering. But you are the crown prince and the eldest brother, and you should be strict with yourself, so why should you care about any favor with your younger brothers? Moreover, the depth of love is responsible, and it is not pampered for you? ”

"I can forgive you for making a mistake once, but I really can't forgive you for making mistakes over and over again. I mentioned to your father the abolition of the crown prince, but he insisted that he would not allow it, and in the end he ...... You are still deposed, and the most blameworthy is not others, but yourself. Because of the grievances in your heart, you are resentful, afraid, and terrified, and you have no virtue at all - you are indeed not suitable for the position of the East Palace. To make you the crown prince may be the one who harms you. Empress Qin sighed, Li Song was stunned for a long time, her face was constantly distorted, and there was resentment floating in her eyes, but she did not speak evil again.

Li Hui was completely stunned, and his mind kept echoing "resentment, fear, and fear because of the injustice in his heart" - how could he not be like this back then? It's just that all these feelings of his heart are stuffed in his heart and have not been released, which causes him to die of depression!! However, when you are trapped alone in a fiefdom, how can you not feel resentment, fear, and fear in your heart?! What the hell is he supposed to do? Can you be as wise as your grandmother? In order to resolve that grievance?

At this time, Empress Qin looked at Li Tai again: "San Lang, you are not suitable for any ambitions, isn't King Xian equally comfortable?" Now that the days of poetry are good, don't think about it anymore. After all, it was your father who spoiled you all and forgot your duty. Brothers, it's not you who can't stand it the most, it's the two of us. You see one another as an enemy, as a knife in our hearts. If you are really filial, think more about it for us. ”

Hearing this, Li Tai knelt down in front of her sickbed, crying and vowing: "Auntie, don't worry, the child has reformed!" The child has already thought clearly!! There will be no more delusions! A-Niang is right, the child is living a good life now...... It's easier than anything else! ”

"After you return to Junzhou, from time to time you will ask your father and Gorou to send you some scribes to relieve your boredom. The scenery of Junzhou is good, you don't stay in the house all day, let Ah Hui accompany you out for a walk. The world is big, so why should you focus on Chang'an? ”

Li Tai nodded yes again and again, and he couldn't care about the more than a little unwillingness in his heart.

Then, Empress Qin looked at Li Heng again, looking very kind: "Erlang, you have also had a hard time these years...... I see it all in my eyes, and I know a piece of your heart. Among your brothers, you are the only one who needs no one to worry about. In the future, be filial to your father and your mother. ”

Li Heng also knelt on the ground: "Mother...... Rather the child ...... I'd rather let my mother worry about it for a few more years......"

Empress Qin just smiled, and said to Li Kun again: "Wulang, I have told you many times what I should say. Among your brothers, your temperament is not actually the most glamorous, but you are the most suitable for the crown prince. However, when it comes to means, you have to be kind when you should be kind, and you have to be kind when you should decide. Don't go too far, and don't be haphazard. And, remember, you are a brother, and you have to respect and take good care of your brothers. ”

"Yes, Auntie, keep the child in mind." Li Kun's eyes were red and he replied with tears in his eyes.

"Come here, grandchildren, and let grandmother take a good look at you." Empress Qin said again. Several grandchildren knelt in front of the couch, and they were already crying. She looked at them with pity: "You are all good children, don't teach your grandfather to be tired." You don't have to feel embarrassed about everything - your grandfather is here, and your grandfather is in charge of you; Uncle is here, and there is also an uncle who makes decisions for you. ”

Li Hui agreed with his brothers, but his thoughts boiled in his heart: With the words of grandmother, will uncle really make decisions for them? Is there really no need to worry about the future of King Pu's lineage? No, of course, you can't just rely on your uncle, you also have something to do - such as finding out the murderer behind the scenes and avenging your brother in the previous life! If he doesn't get rid of this person, under his calculations, it is inevitable that there will be some ups and downs in the royal family.

Then, Empress Qin summoned several concubines of the Su family to her side: "Over the years, I have suffered from you. Asu will follow Ji Qing in the future, and he will definitely be filial to you; Ah Wang can also be looser, and enjoy the blessings of his children and grandchildren; Ah Yan doesn't have to worry too much, he leaves everything to Bo Yue, he has always been a good boy. As for Adu, Gorou and the palace's Ichiē are entrusted to you. We can all trust your character......"

The Su family and the others agreed gently, but they were already crying.

"Lady (Princess Linchuan)." Until this time, Empress Qin was already a little tired, but she still insisted on telling earnestly, "You have always been cautious, and you will definitely be able to live a very good life." Erniang (Princess Anxing), you ...... was also spoiled by your grandfather. Remember, even the princess of the heavenly family can be willful but not reckless. Sanniang (Princess Qinghe), don't be too tired, and think too much will hurt your body. Your body and bones are not healthy, you have to be well born. As for your unsuccessful brothers, don't pay attention to them, let them go. There is no reason in this world for my sister to worry about my brother. ”

Princess Qinghe burst into tears like rain in an instant, crying on one side of her head.

Empress Qin summoned her granddaughters again and whispered a word to each of them, which allowed the children and grandchildren to go out. She finally saw Qin An, the Duke of Wu standing in tears in the corner, and asked him to come to the sickbed: "Brother, you and my sister have supported us for many years, and now it's time to separate." You just need to remember that the Qin family doesn't need flowers to bloom, let alone cooking oil in a blazing fire, otherwise it will decline. I have never allowed you to hold a real position, and you will not be a professional in the future, and leave the vacancies and opportunities to the children. ”

The saint wanted to interject on the side, but the two sisters seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they pretended not to see it. After a while, Empress Qin was so tired that she finally lay down, stared at the saint deeply, and said softly: "Erlang, do you remember that Ah Weng once wanted us to give a child to Liulang. ”

The sage was stunned, and said: "I remember, Grandpa took a fancy to San Lang at that time, but I was reluctant to ......" Liulang, who was his younger brother, was posthumously named the king of Chu. Gaozu cherished that his young son had no heirs, and wanted to choose one of his grandsons to succeed, and originally chose the smart and lively Li Tai, but he was really reluctant at that time, so he succeeded other grandchildren. However, the new king of Chu died of illness shortly after he ascended the throne, and he was young and childless, and he was unable to find a suitable heir for a long time. As a result, the king of Chu had no one to inherit, and the matter of inheriting the heir has been delayed.

"Inherit Da Lang Yi to Liulang, seal Juqing as the heir of the king of Chu, and let them go out of Beijing. It doesn't matter if you go back to Qianzhou, or choose another state, you don't have to go back to Chang'an......" Queen Qin said, although her voice was soft, but with a determination and decisiveness that no one could question.

The "......" saint was silent for a long time, and the old tears were rampant.

"For the sake of the long-term for the sake of children and grandchildren, I would rather be wronged than wronged Asu and Jiqing. As for Da Lang, let him eat fasting and recite the Buddha to wash away his anger. Speaking of this, Empress Qin let out a long sigh and closed her eyes gently.

"Good...... Everything you say is good...... I regret why I didn't listen to your ...... in the first place," the sage muttered, "but at least let Da Lang and Ji Qing ...... Kneel down to see you off on your last ......"

After Empress Qin fell into a coma again, her face quickly turned gray, and it was just a drag on for days. The saint was extremely mournful, and after hearing the "Chongxi" that Su and Du said about it, he immediately agreed without thinking about it. So, when everyone in the royal family was guarding the Lizheng Palace day and night, Li Qianniang's marriage was quickly handled by the subordinate officials of the East Palace, Pu Wangfu, and Yue Wangfu.

The next day, the dowry of the county lord of Yichuan was sent to the Xu family. Ninety-six lifts, the entire courtyard of the new house was stuffed, attracting both admiration and envy from the relatives of the groom's family. Delicate head and face jewelry, gorgeous silk satin, can simply dazzle people's eyes. However, some careful people found that many head jewelry and silk satin seem to be a little old, which seems to be fashionable patterns in previous years. Moreover, there were only three Zhuangzi and only one shop in the dowry, and the copper coins that could be spent were piled up several times - which seemed generous at the moment, but it was obviously not enough to support the future use.

Of course, the Xu family is rich and rich, and some of them have money for the main flowers of Yichuan County, and this flaw is not worth anything. After all, the county lord married in a hurry in order to give Empress Qin joy, and the time to prepare the dowry is so urgent, it must not be possible to be thoughtful, right? Everyone can actually understand it.

As for whether the bride can understand it or not, who knows? Who cares?
