323: Bad taste
The Queen Mother died......
When Xia Ruan heard this, the whole person had not completely sobered up.
She called out to the outside of the house, "Du Ruo." ”
As soon as the words fell, Du Ruo hurriedly walked in and raised the bed curtain.
"Ma'am? Where is it uncomfortable? After Du Ruo finished speaking, he was anxious to help Xia Ruan.
Xia Ruan didn't refuse Du Ruo's action, but just muttered, "Did you hear that?" ”
Du Ruo looked at Xia Ruan with some astonishment, and said after a while: "The slave heard the voice from Cining Palace, the Queen Mother is dead." ”
The Queen Mother is dead.
Hearing Du Ruo say this, Xia Ruan's heart hanging in the air really let go at this time.
No matter what kind of relationship Cinnabar has with the Queen Mother, now that the Queen Mother is deceased, Cinnabar can no longer use the Queen Mother to do anything. Xia Ruan would often think of what Cinnabar had done, and then tremble. That man is like a demon in hell, and he won't let go of anyone he catches.
It's just that she and Cinnabar have no grievances, Cinnabar just wants to use the power of the Li family, but she doesn't want to let go of her mother.
The eldest uncle and aunt were tortured to death, and Cinnabar also used a dagger to take out the white vine in the belly of the eldest aunt, such a cruel thing has long become a habit for Cinnabar.
Ruthless methods can deter everyone around them, and they can also make people around them rebel.
Not everyone is willing to go to hell like the evil spirits, and the cinnabar soldiers must have a reason for their dangerous moves.
Xia Ruan clenched the corners of the quilt tightly, what did Cinnabar want. Obviously he has everything.
For a while, she couldn't guess the evil man.
'......Boom'
There was thunder in the sky, Xia Ruan put away his thoughts, then put on his shoes and stood up and walked towards the window.
She pushed open the window, and before she could think about it, she saw the rain fall.
Du Ruo hurriedly put his coat on Xia Ruan's body: "Madam, be careful of catching a cold." ”
"Du Ruo, it's raining." Xia Ruan looked at the sudden heavy rain outside the house, she remembered that it was such a night in her previous life, and Tang Jingxuan did not return all night.
In her dreams, she could still smell the smell of blood in the capital. That blood was mixed with rainwater. Smelling it makes people feel almost nauseous.
"Madame, you better rest early." Du Ruo sighed, "Tomorrow, maybe there will be some busy." ”
The Queen Mother died. Concubine An had no time to take care of them. It is estimated that they will be sent out of the palace early tomorrow morning. Back to the mansion. This matter is not completely over, and there are more things waiting for her.
Xia Ruan showed a bitter smile, this night. How many more will die?
……
Cining Palace.
Emperor Jianguang looked at the women kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down their faces one by one, but he didn't cry about their makeup.
He didn't cry, he was the emperor of Great Qin, and he was a high-ranking person, how could he cry at this time. Emperor Jianguang looked at Concubine An who was kneeling at his feet, he didn't understand why Concubine An Guifei, who had always been sensible, would mention his damn brother at this time.
Second Prince...... Qin Ming.
Among the many princes, he ranked seventh, and there were too many people who were better than him at that time, including his second brother who was a compatriot, and Qin Yuncheng, the eleventh brother who had been very favored since birth. He was just the smallest prince in this group, so he wanted to stand higher and higher, so that the people around him could know his existence.
There are too many children of the father, so many that he has no leisure to notice that there is such a person as him, he has tried his best to memorize poetry and books, but he is still not as good as the eleventh brother. So he began to learn to ride and shoot, but he was not as good as his second brother.
When the mother saw him, she would always smile and say: "Che'er is the most distressed child of the queen mother, Che'er is very powerful." ”
But those were only words of comfort.
If he is really powerful, why does the mother always give the second brother more love.
The eleventh prince is too eye-catching, and the people around him are talking all day long about how powerful the Xiao family is, and the eleventh prince will become the crown prince in the future. He didn't care who could sit on the throne at that time, all he wanted was to have someone who cared about him, but all this was a dream for him and for the environment around him.
If he is not excellent, who will notice his existence?
The second brother's mounted archery is the most outstanding among many princes, and he is often rewarded by his father. And he could only stand silently in the crowd, watching his father and second brother laugh, unable to say a word.
The eleventh prince would occasionally talk to him, and then said with a smile: "Seventh brother, the mother concubine said that you are the most calm of the many elder brothers, when will I be like you?" ”
When he heard this sentence in his ears, he felt extremely harsh.
The people he envied, but now they came over sarcastically and said that they envied him-
Moreover, he had also heard the maids of the eleventh prince talking in private: "Tut, the seventh prince is really shameless, and the eleventh prince is promoting him by talking to him." In the coming day, the eleventh prince will ascend the throne, and the world will be the eleventh prince, but the seventh prince is unwilling to deal with the eleventh prince. ”
"No, he doesn't like to talk all day, and his temperament is gloomy, who knows what he's thinking? Let's go tell Xiao Guifei, and let Xiao Guifei tell the eleventh prince to keep her distance from the seventh prince. ”
"Also, I'll tell Xiao Guifei right away......"
At that time, he hated poisoning his second brother, and even more hated poisoning the eleventh prince.
Why are they all so good, and he is like a lonely duckweed, without anything to rely on.
When he was fifteen years old, he finally came up with a plan.
He was going to kill his second brother...... Grasp the second brother's private military power in his hands over the years.
He asked the people around him to buy poison and bring it in, and then put the poison in the wine. He ran to the palace where the second brother lived, and talked and laughed with the second brother as usual......
The sun was very sunny that day, and he still remembered that the second brother smiled brightly, and the second brother said to him: "Seventh brother, I saw the lotus flowers blooming in the thousand carp pond a few days ago, and then I will go with you to pick some and give them to the mother concubine, okay?" I think. The mother will love it. ”
He smiled and replied, "Okay." ”
"But I remember that the seventh brother prefers more plum blossoms." The second brother winked at him, "My father rewarded me with a mansion, and when the time comes, I will definitely plant plum blossoms in the house, hoping to make the seventh brother smile." ”
After speaking, the second brother drank the wine he had sent.
His well-laid out game was so easy to succeed, and he drank a little less wine, so he was also poisoned, but not to death. The second brother drank too much, so all the imperial doctors in the palace were powerless. In the end, it was gone.
The mother didn't shed a single tear at that time. just looked at him at his bedside for a long time, then showed a faint smile and said: "Actually, it's okay, too good will definitely attract too much attention." Your second brother is too kind. Never thought about who to guard against. He is not fit to survive in this house. It's good to ......."
The words of the mother concubine made his whole heart hang, and the situation he set up was obviously not flawed at all, why would the queen mother say such a thing.
He had utter insomnia that night.
It's not because of the death of the second brother. It's because he's afraid that the people around him will find out, and he did it.
It's just that after that day, the mother concubine was still treated as before, without the slightest neglect. His heart gradually relaxed......
No one found out that he did it.
He thinks he's doing it secretly, and he thinks he's doing it well.
As a result, he was like a joke, and he was seen as a joke by his mother and father.
His father would choose him to inherit the throne, and what he said that night would never be forgotten in his life.
"Lone thought that Lone was the most vicious person in the world, but Lone was wrong, and now Lone's emperor is better than blue." The father smiled, raised the wine bottle and said to him, "Ci does not hold soldiers, so Lone knew from the beginning that Lone's children could not be the same as ordinary children, they loved each other and protected each other. It's just that, Che'er, Gu still hasn't figured out whether your mother is too bad for you, or your second brother is not good to you, that's why you did such a thing. Lone knows that Lone can't stop your ambition now, but Che'er, Lone can give you this country, you only need to agree to Lone's one condition. ”
"Promise to be lonely and let the people of the Xiao family live."
He looked at his father in disbelief, because he never thought that his father would know so clearly.
It's just that although he controls a lot of military power, he has not reached the point where he will definitely win.
At this time, his father was actually willing to pass on the throne to him, and the request was only to let the people of the Xiao family live.
He thought for a long time, and his voice trembled a little: "Okay." ”
Xiao Guifei is a smart person and knows what he wants to do.
Even if he can't ascend the throne, he will destroy the people who make him an eyesore, whether it is the eleventh prince or the Xiao family. None of these people can live.
Emperor Jianguang thought of this, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Now, he really let all the people of the Xiao family live, but are these people living happily?
Whether it is the seventy-seven-eighty-eight Nanxiao who has been eliminated by him, or the seemingly prosperous Dongxiao, or even the Northern Xiao, who is about to be destroyed...... Who of these three Xiao people can really control their own destiny?
These people are all pawns of his bad taste, and he can manipulate these people as much as he wants.
He can hold Dong Xiao high, or he can make Nan Xiao's concubine stand taller.
When the time comes, they will be wiped out one by one, so that his father and eleventh brother Quanxia will know and will definitely be grateful that he still keeps the Xiao family.
Life is better than death, torture, that's it.
Emperor Jian Guang stood up and didn't look at Concubine An who was kneeling on the side.
He didn't understand why Concubine An Guifei would mention his second brother when the Queen Mother was struggling to speak.
Emperor Jianguang thought about Concubine An's uneasy look just now, and did not speak again.
When he walked outside the Cining Palace, Emperor Jianguang said to the little eunuch beside him: "Spread the will of the orphan and let the queen and Zeng Guifei be martyred." The affairs of these six palaces will be handed over to Concubine An Guifei from now on. ”
The little eunuch looked at Emperor Jianguang in shock, and only after half a ring did he say, "The slave obeys the order." (To be continued......)
