262 Madness
The Queen's order is simply insane. Fetal pills should be used for abortion, but how can you find this thing in the Qiuliang Palace now? So what the queen said about abortion, it is really a "fetus", and the means will be extremely cruel and bloody, even these palace people, who have not had blood on their hands, were also shocked by the queen's order.
"Who of you dares!" Taohua's heart also jerked, but she had already expected the queen's reaction before she came out, so although she really didn't expect the queen to be so crazy, she was not completely unprepared, "I am the princess of the county, if there are any three long and two short, your heads will have to move!" There is also Lu Xiuyi, she gave birth to a prince for the emperor, and whoever dares to touch her will only die! β
The queen sneered: "Can you still be the emperor and be the master for you?" Or are you counting on Shen Shu to ascend the throne? β
Taohua also sneered: "Unless you dare to kill the monarch now, as long as the emperor is alive, he can't do anything about you, if you want to kill these slaves, you can still do it." β
The palace people hesitated. They also know what the Yu family wants to do, and once they succeed, the world is under control. But did the Yu family dare to kill the emperor directly? If the emperor doesn't die, the world is certainly not his, but he is the emperor, and it is still okay to kill a few slaves and maids, and when the time comes, will the queen protect them?
Not necessarily. Even if these people who came today are loyal to the queen, they know that this answer is not certain. The queen has never cared much about the lives of slaves and maids, not to mention that now her temper is becoming more and more obedient and more and more difficult to figure out, who dares to say that in the future, the emperor will take care of them after the autumn?
Thinking so, the two palace people holding Taohua did not move. Taohua laughed contemptuously and raised her head at the queen: "Queen Mother, why do you dare to ask them to do it?" Don't you know it yourself, if you dare to do it to me, the emperor will not be able to spare you in the future! β
The queen only felt a rush of blood rushing to her face: "You slut! When she was dying, she dared to take the emperor out to press the palace-" She was so angry that only Taohua's protruding belly was left in her eyes, and she rushed up in one step, raised her foot and kicked: "This palace will let you conceive!" β
The palace people around were hesitating, and even the queen's henchmen didn't expect the queen to go up and do it herself, so she was so slow that the queen had already pounced in front of Taohua's eyes.
This is the time that Momoka is waiting for! Although she was already pregnant, she was quite flexible, leaning to the side, taking the opportunity of the queen stumbling forward, her hands pinched the back of the queen's neck quickly and accurately, the queen rolled her eyes, and the person softened. And Mint pulled out the hairpin on the bun and squatted against the queen's temple: "Don't move, or I'll poke it in!" β
No one thought that Princess Anjun would be able to put down the queen with a stomach, and several palace people were all stunned. The two palace people who had just caught Taohua had subconsciously given way to the side when the queen pounced, and now they found out that they had made a big disaster, and one of them reached out to grab Taohua, but he only felt that the golden light flashed in front of him, his throat was cold, and something had already poked in and pulled out.
Several palace people watched in horror as Princess Anjun stabbed a golden hairpin into the side of the neck of one of their companions and calmly pulled it out, bringing out a stream of blood arrows, while the palace man opened his mouth wide but could only make a ho-ho sound as if he had broken the bellows, and slowly fell down on his back to the sky, and the blood spurting out of the side of his neck quickly spread on the ground, exuding a unique hot fishy smell.
There are not a few people who died in the palace, some were strangled, some were poisoned, some drowned, and of course, some were beaten to death, and the flesh and blood were blurred and unbearable. These palace people who came with the queen all had a few lives on their hands, and some of them had personally tortured people, and they had seen what kind of miserable appearance, but they never knew that a person's neck blood could be splashed so violently and terrifyingly. It seemed that Princess Anjun had just pierced a small hole with a golden hairpin, but the blood that spurted out not only splashed her clothes, but even sprayed straight onto the wall, spreading a bright red peach blossom on the snow-white wall.
Taohua held the golden hairpin without changing color, shook off the blood on her head, and looked around: "Who else wants to do it?" β
Everyone was stunned. Mint crouched there, holding the silver hairpin against the queen, trying to keep her hands from shaking. Even she didn't expect Taohua to kill someone so cleanly, if she hadn't seen blood in the northwest, I'm afraid she would have been scared at this time.
Taohua said coldly: "Let go of Xiuyi Niangniang!" In fact, her hands were also trembling, and in order to hide this trembling, she kept shaking the hairpin, so as not to be discovered. Although she knew how to kill someone at once, and she also knew that she had to pierce an artery to cause the greatest deterrent, the feeling of killing someone with her own hands was different after all, even if she knew that it was a life-and-death situation at the moment, she still couldn't suppress the feeling of fear and disgust.
The palace man who strangled Bai Aya around Lu Ying's neck trembled with both hands, not knowing what to do. Taohua squinted at her and said coldly: "Mint, I'll count to three, if they don't let go, you're welcome!" One! β
"No, no!" The queen's henchmen screamed, "Let go of Lu Xiuyi!" "If that girl pokes like this, will the queen be like the palace people just now? Even if the family gains power, these slaves and maids will also die.
Lu Ying's face was swollen after being slapped a few times, but fortunately, she finally came back to her senses in the middle of the day, and as soon as she was free, she quickly ran to Taohua's side and helped her: "Sister Tao'er!" β
Of course she saw the corpse lying on the ground, and even saw the blood splashed on Taohua's body, but she didn't feel frightened at all - if Taohua hadn't killed that palace person, they would have died now: "What now?" β
"Wait-" Taohua felt that her lower abdomen began to throb, "The prince and the emperor will come to pick us up......" Shen Shu will definitely come soon.
Lu Ying felt that the weight on her body was getting heavier and heavier, and she knew that Taohua was starting to feel unwell. She is also pregnant, and when she was six months old, she felt that she would be out of breath when she walked too much, not to mention that Taohua walked and came back, and killed someone.
At this moment, there must be no flaws. Lu Ying used all the strength to breastfeed, held Taohua to death, and glared at the queen's henchmen: "You all quit!" β
The confidant palace man hesitated and did not dare to move. If she really withdrew, she was afraid that these two would kill the queen directly, and they would still die at that time. However, at this time, they didn't dare to call for help, but the queen sent people out - no, even if people weren't sent out, now that the queen is in the hands of people, they don't dare to move.
In the midst of the stalemate, there was a sudden commotion outside the Qiuliang Palace, and at this moment, people on both sides turned their heads to look out, hoping that it was their own people.
Mint squatted on the ground, only to feel that both legs were numb, and his feet seemed to be gnawed by countless insects and ants, itching and painful. But she didn't dare to move at all, and didn't even have the courage to look up to see who was coming in outside, but just held the silver hairpin firmly against the queen's temple. I only heard the noise approaching quickly, and then a voice sounded outside the hall: "Taohua! β
It's the prince of the county! Peppermint felt a burst of ecstasy in her heart, and suddenly her whole body lost her strength, so she sat down on the ground, raised her head and cried and laughed: "Princess, it's the prince, it's the king-" Before she finished speaking, she saw Taohua's arm hanging down, leaning on Lu Ying, and slowly slipping down......
The square in front of the temple has been cleaned, and the white marble floor has also been washed, leaving not even a trace of blood, as if there has never been an amazing scene of rebellion and murder here.
Only the Emperor was still standing on the steps, looking at the white sky in the east.
Du Neijian trotted all the way over, panting: "Your Majesty! β
"What happened to Princess Anjun?" The emperor's eyes were still looking at the sky, and he asked.
"I got the tire gas. However, Imperial Doctor Jiang pricked a few needles and said that there was no major problem. Fortunately, the princess of the county has a good foundation...... "If you change the weak woman, you will not be able to save this child." If you are six months pregnant, if you have a miscarriage, it may be dangerous even for adults. King Anjun didn't care about it at this time, he only guarded the princess of the county, and didn't even ask about other things.
Only then did the emperor turn his gaze back and sighed softly: "Heavenly luck...... I didn't expect that the queen would move so fast, and I didn't expect Zhao's - "Who would have thought that Zhao Chongyi would intervene halfway, stirring up Taohua and the others not even going into the secret passage, and turned back to the Qiuliang Palace."
"What about the Zhao family?" The Emperor's voice was cold.
"Still in the cold palace, almost strangled to ......death" Although Zhao Chongyi fled into the secret passage, the secret passage did not lead to the outside of the palace, but went directly to the cold palace. Those guards chased into the dark passage, searched in the cold palace for a long time, and finally caught Zhao Chongyi's master and servant. If it weren't for the fact that Jin Wuwei, led by Fang Qian, also saw the entrance of the secret passage and chased after him, Zhao Chongyi would have died.
However, Zhao Chongyi's situation is quite unbearable. Although those guards didn't dare to really violate her, they also tore her to shreds, and the two palace people were even more miserable, one of them was already humiliated and died. Now Zhao Chongyi was too frightened, and her mind was a little unclear, she only shrank in the small room when she was rescued, no matter who she saw, she was terrified, and Du Neijian couldn't get her back to the Chunhua Palace.
"Then let her live in the cold palace." The emperor said lightly. Zhao Shangshu fell to Yu Ge Lao in battle, it was also a crime of rebellion, and he wanted to raid the family and punish the family, even if Zhao Chongyi didn't have tonight's incident, he would also enter the cold palace. As for Zhao Shangshu's words that he defected again at the last moment and shouted that he was pretending to follow Yu Ge Lao, no one would take it seriously.
"Where's Ying'er?" Speaking of Lu Ying, the emperor's voice softened slightly, "Can you scare her?" And what happened to Brother Hui? β
"The eldest son of the emperor was made to sleep by the princess of the county at that time, and he didn't know what happened." Naturally, I wasn't scared, and after I woke up, I was still the same as before, "Xiuyi Niangniang-"
To say that Lu Xiuyi is a little unexpected. Originally, Du Neijian ran to the Qiuliang Palace, and saw the corpse lying horizontally on the ground and the blood that was almost enough to raise fish on the ground, and thought that Lu Xiuyi must be frightened at this moment. When he heard that Bai Aya had already strangled Lu Xiuyi's neck at that time, he was even more shocked. Who knew that when he saw Lu Xiuyi, he found that her face was as usual, and she could also command the palace people who escaped from Qiuliang Hall to clean up the beds, so that Princess Anjun could lie down and rest. In front of the emperor's eldest son, he didn't say a word about tonight's events, if it weren't for the scars on her face that she was slapped, even Du Neijian would have wondered if she hadn't experienced these things at all.
ββ¦β¦ This, this is really unexpected by the slave maid...... "It doesn't look like the original Lu Xiuyi, but he actually has a bit of a commanding appearance, even there, even the demeanor of being the housewife." Moreover, the queen went too fast at that time, and it was Lu Xiuyi who stayed and delayed the time, and the eldest son of the emperor was successfully sent out - although later because of Zhao Chongyi's idiot, Princess Anjun had to come back with the eldest son, but Lu Xiuyi's courage was really ......
"If a woman is a mother, she is ......," the emperor sighed softly, "In this way, I can rest assured that I will make her queen." β
Dunei was taken aback. Although he had expected that Lu Ying would be very likely to enter the middle palace in the future by giving birth to the emperor's eldest son, he did not expect that just today, the emperor would decide this matter so clearly.
"How?" The emperor glanced at him and smiled slightly, "You have long expected that there will be today, and what are you doing pretending to be surprised?" β
Du Neijian really didn't pretend, but since the emperor said that it was pretended, it must have been pretended: "The old slave just didn't expect that the emperor would decide this matter today......"
The emperor laughed: "The Yu clan conspired against the nine clans." I don't plan to destroy his nine clans, abolishing a queen is nothing, right? β
That's for sure. How can the daughter of a rebellious family still be a queen? It's just - what about the Queen Mother?
"Can the Imperial Doctor have seen it?"
"Yes. The doctor said it was a stroke, and it was aboutβnot many days left. "The Queen Mother fell headlong in front of the temple at that time, but there was no imperial doctor to rescue her immediately, and when the square was cleaned up, the Queen Mother was carried back to Shouxian Palace, and then the imperial doctor was summoned, and an hour has passed.
"I'll take a look." The emperor was silent for a moment, but still sighed, "In the end, it is also the ...... who raised me" Once, the queen mother was indeed very good to him.
The Shouxian Palace is like a tomb, the Queen Mother's henchmen have been locked up, and the newly exchanged palace people are silent, and they are cautious when they walk.
The Queen Mother was lying on the bed, her mouth and eyes were all crooked, saliva was flowing from the corners of her mouth from time to time, and one left eye was half-open, as if she was looking at something, but she didn't seem to be looking at anything. When the imperial doctor who was waiting next to him saw the emperor coming, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The minister is incompetent, the mother has been sick for a long time, and the stroke is serious, but I am afraid that ......" Even if the stroke is not serious, the queen mother is against the party, does he really want to use all his skills to save her?" A fool would do that.
The emperor looked down at the Queen Mother and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed. Du Neijian had already cleared everyone in the palace, and when he withdrew to cover the door, he heard the emperor sigh: "The queen mother has raised me for more than ten years, but can you really treat me as a person?" β
The Queen Mother's eyelids moved slightly, obviously she could hear the emperor's voice, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make a sound. The emperor looked at her and said lightly: "The queen mother has always felt that if I am the emperor, I should be jealous and wary of a few brothers, I should be unscrupulous with my favorite woman, I should be unscrupulous with my courtiers, I should be unscrupulous, I should destroy humanity, my brother will take my brother's wife, and the king will take my minister's wife, right?" β
His tone was flat, but his words were repeated one sentence after another. The Queen Mother's eyelids trembled, and she opened her left eye wide, staring at him with difficulty, and she also made a vague sigh in her mouth.
The emperor sneered: "Until now, the queen mother still thinks that I did this?" β
He smiled sarcastically: "If you raise me after a vain mother, it is better for a Jiang family to understand me." He didn't seem to want to talk to the Queen Mother anymore, and slowly stood up, "The Queen Mother is wrong." Since I was a child, the queen mother has asked my father to find a great Confucian teacher for me and teach me the way of sages, so why do I think I will learn such unethical deeds from the books of sages? β
The Queen Mother's eyes opened wider, and there was a complicated look in her cloudy eyes, and she couldn't tell whether she was surprised or regretful, or something else.
The emperor looked down at her and said lightly: "The queen mother really mistook me. Even the Jiang family knows that I am a person. But the queen mother doesn't know, I don't know if the queen mother is wrong, or I am wrong? β
He dusted off his sleeves and continued: "The Yu family is rebellious, the queen mother is the daughter of the Yu family, I can remember the grace of raising for more than ten years, and still take care of the queen mother's mourning, but--my father didn't want to sleep with the queen mother underground, so I had to choose another auspicious place to bury the queen mother." β
The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly opened wider, and it seemed that even the corners of her eyes were about to crack. She was the original wife of the first emperor, first the imperial concubine, and then the queen, and should be buried with the first emperor in the imperial mausoleum after her death. Now that the emperor does not let her enter the imperial mausoleum, what is the use of her being buried in the name of the queen mother even after her death?
"Your Majestyβ" Eunuch Du suddenly knocked on the door outside, "Someone came to report that the queen mother had woken up, butβshe had lost her heart." β
"Heartlessness?" The Emperor laughed, "Where does she have a heart to lose?" It must be the madness that Princess Anjun said, right? β
"Yes, yes, yes." Du Neijian immediately changed his words, "It's madness. She didn't recognize anyone, she didn't remember anything, she only said that she was pregnant and wanted to raise a fetus, and she was clamoring for tocolytic pills to drink...... "That look, the little road that came to report the news was all in disbelief.
"I-" The emperor groaned slightly, and swallowed the second half of the sentence, "The edict will be issued, and the position of the queen will be abolished and demoted to a concubine." If she wants to raise a fetus, let her go to the cold palace to raise it. He wanted to say that he would go and see, but he couldn't say the words, and then he realized that he and the queen were already tired of each other, to the point of intolerability. With this time, he would rather go to see Lu Ying and see Brother Hui.
Du Neijian hesitated a little: "Your Majesty, is the Emperor - Is the Yu family really crazy...... "What if she is pretending to be crazy?"
The emperor smiled faintly: "Whether she is true or not, let her live in the cold palace." Even if she wasn't crazy, he didn't plan to kill her, but in this life, he never wanted to see her again.
"King An Jun has been accompanying the princess of the county?"
"Yes." Du Neijian didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked this, and hurriedly replied, "I have already asked someone to pick up the prince of the county...... "King Anjun really doesn't care about anything, whether it is the Northwest Army, the Praetorian Guard, or anyone who has not been completely cleared outside, he just left it all and only guarded his wife." If it weren't for the fact that the princess of the county should not move now, he would probably have taken his wife back to the county palace a long time ago.
The Emperor sneered: "He's really ...... Anyway, I should also learn from him, go, I will also take a look at Lu Xiuyi and Brother Hui. If there is something reported outside, let them wait for a while, the horizontal and vertical family has not been copied yet, and let me enjoy this family fun. β
Du Neijian couldn't help but smile on his face: "Yes." The emperor has set up the Autumn Cool Palaceβ"
The Queen Mother watched the emperor walk out, and the entire Shouxian Palace returned to its original deathly silence. Although the sky outside the window was getting brighter and brighter, everything was getting darker and darker in her blurred vision.
The emperor's voice seemed to be still ringing in her ears, for a while she was not allowed to be buried with the first emperor, for a while it was abolished, and for a while it was destroyed at home, but the voice became softer and softer, and finally only the words "family happiness" were left hovering in her ears for a moment, and she flew away without any nostalgia......
Compared with the dead silence of Shouxian Palace, Qiuliang Hall is now very lively, and even Taohua, who has just woken up in the apse, heard it: "This is all running to tie up with Lu Ying, right?" β
"Nature." Shen Shu carefully picked out the core of a candied plum and fed the plum meat to Taohua's mouth, "I'm afraid that she will be the queen in a few days." "If you don't stutter now, when will you wait?
"There are also ...... who come to look for you" For example, Jiang Meihua.
Now there are legends in the palace that the emperor has long discovered the Yu family's rebellion, specially made a plan with the king of Anjun, and asked the princess of Anjun to enter the palace in the name of fake death to protect Lu Ying and the emperor's eldest son. Now that the Yu family has fallen, the Anjun Wang's family is a great achievement. It is appropriate for King Anjun himself to be promoted to a prince, and Taohua has the emperor's blue eyes, and now she has the merit of protecting the queen - well, even if this is nonsense to protect the queen, but the new queen is her close friend, which is not wrong, right? Speaking of which, if you can get the princess of the county, maybe it will be more useful than the queen of the county.
Others may be far away from the princess of the county, but there are still two people surnamed Jiang in the palace. The building near the water gets the moon first, and it is a fool who does not come.
"I don't see her." Momoka is bored and authentic. For the rest of his life, who wants to see those who are annoying.
"Yes." Shen Shu picked another plum and came out, "I asked someone to block it." Also, I've already sent someone to pick up my father-in-law, Bai Ge'er, and Xu Ge'er, and I'm afraid that I should also-"
Before he finished speaking, Mint's surprised voice was already sounding outside: "Princess, the lord and the prince are here!" β
Taohua suddenly raised her head, the curtain was raised, and there was a little guy standing outside the threshold, who was a lot taller than half a year ago, and his little face had also lost a little weight, and he was tilting his head to look at her and Shen Shu cautiously.
"Brother Xu-" Taohua only felt a sour feeling in her heart, if it weren't for the fact that portraits were often sent in the past six months, she was afraid that she would not know her son, and it would be strange for her son to see her.
Shen Shu was also a little cautious: "Brother Xu, do you still recognize your father?" β
Brother Xu turned his little head to look at both of them, and just when Shen Shu couldn't help but go over to hug him, he suddenly climbed over the high threshold by himself, simply bypassed Shen Shu, and rushed to the side of the bed with two small legs like small cannonballs: "Mother! β
"Hey!" Taohua hugged her son, feeling that hot little head was close to her chest. Behind her, there was Shen Shu's warm embrace hugging her, and a few steps away, stood her father and brother, all the relatives were thereβoh, even the little guy in her belly was unwilling to be lonely and kicked her.
Relatives are safe, the family is reunited, what else can a husband ask for......
