Chapter 304: Death by Myself (Part 2)
When Shen Ruohua entered the hall, the Queen Mother sat in the phoenix seat, leaning on the armrest to support her forehead, her face was a deep tiredness that could not be concealed, the wrinkles on her fair and smooth face had become deeper and deeper, and a few strands of white hair under the phoenix crown fell on her ears, looking even more old. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Shen Ruohua looked at her from afar, but she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, the queen mother is old after all, she has supported the entire empire alone over the years, on the one hand, she has to face the Tatar Warats and these Hu people, on the other hand, she has to beware of the prince of the clan who has a heart of disobedience, and she has exhausted all her efforts.
Listening to the sound of her walking into the hall, the weakness and tiredness on the queen mother's face disappeared in an instant, and when she raised her head, she was still majestic and noble indifference, looking at her and bowing down, and then her face eased slightly: "Get up." ”
She looked at Shen Ruohua: "Dongping Mansion invited you to see a doctor?" His eyes fell on Shen Ruohua, scorching and pressing.
Shen Ruohua was shocked, looked at the Queen Mother, saw her looking at herself expressionlessly, and hurriedly curtsied: "Yes, it is Princess Dongping who is unwell and wants to invite the minister to see a doctor." ”
The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth showed a slight smile, and she said casually: "Oh? I heard that Princess Dongping has never been in good health, and she has come all the way from Bashu to Kyoto for these days, I'm afraid that she is not accustomed to the water and soil, she didn't have phlegm drinking before, isn't it another time this time? Her words were fluttering and fluttering, as if she didn't care, but her eyes kept falling on Shen Ruohua.
Shen Ruohua didn't look up, but replied: "This time it's not a phlegm drink, it's the princess who suddenly felt unwell some time ago, dizzy and tight, and her heart was flustered. ”
The Queen Mother's gaze slowly retracted, and she played with the emerald gilt armor she was wearing on her hand, and said: "I'm really sick, so can you tell what kind of illness it is?" ”
Shen Ruohua shook his head: "It's strange, when the minister asked the princess for the pulse, he found that the pulse was not abnormal, and he really couldn't see what the illness was." ”
"It's really strange that you can't even break it." The Queen Mother said the same, but she asked a few words and no longer mentioned Princess Dongping's illness, but instructed Shen Ruohua: "I'll go and ask the queen for a peace pulse in a while, yesterday she came to ask for peace, I saw that her body was getting heavier and heavier, and her feet were swollen badly, you go and see me more relieved." ”
Shen Ruohua hurriedly got up and agreed, but there were some doubts in his heart, although the queen mother was not harsh to the queen in the past, but she was not so concerned, since the queen mother woke up from the drug, she was particularly concerned about the imperial heir in the queen's womb, and she always asked about the queen's body, but she was much more contemptuous of the emperor, and rarely asked about the Taiji Palace.
She bent her knees, saluted the queen mother, and when she went out of the hall, Mama Meng was walking into the hall quickly, and she couldn't avoid her, so she hurriedly said: "The queen mother, the emperor summoned the courtiers today, but he also said that he was sick and did not go......"
Shen Ruohua's steps slowed down, and he heard the queen mother in the palace ask angrily, "But you stayed in the Penglai Hall again?" ”
Mama Meng said: "Wang Huaisheng said that it is still the ...... that Yun Meiren serves."
The hall was silent, there was no other sound, Shen Ruohua didn't dare to listen any more, and walked quickly to the outside of the jade steps, she was going to Kunning Palace to ask the queen for peace.
The eldest princess of Shouning, who was locked in the side hall, was already trembling with fright, she lay on the closed palace door, wailing and asking someone to open the door: "...... I am the eldest daughter of the first emperor, the eldest princess, even the emperor has to call me a royal sister, how can you lock me up here, let me out, I want to see the queen mother......"
She slapped the door of the palace regardless of it, and her already hoarse voice was even more hoarse: "Let those uncles of the clan come in and see, you actually treat the princess so harshly, King Kang is dead, and now even I won't let go, is this to cut the grass and eradicate the roots and force me to death?" She was already frightened and angry, and she was screaming wildly, not realizing what she was talking about.
The palace maids all lowered their heads, listening to her shouting and didn't dare to make any moves, Mama Meng came out of the hall and heard it clearly, couldn't help but shake her head, and said to the palace maids: "It's good to be good, don't let the eldest princess make a little mess." ”
She looked up at the side hall with the door closed, the sound of banging on the door and shouting was still endless, and she couldn't help sighing, although this princess Shouning and King Kang are compatriots of the same mother, they are too stupid, and they still can't see their situation clearly, and they dare to shout like this, they really die by themselves, and they can't complain about others.
In the main hall, King Fu Rong and several respected old county kings in the clan sat on the lower seat, their faces were a little solemn, and the queen mother was already sitting on the phoenix seat, and said in a cold tone: "...... Originally, King Kang's crime was heinous, and the people attached to the party should be questioned and sat down, but I pity King Kang has been ambushed, and everyone in King Kang's mansion has also been convicted, and I don't want to be implicated in it anymore, so as not to mess up the stability of the court, although Shou Ning's horse led the rebels into the palace, but he never wanted his life, and was locked in the edict waiting for a thorough investigation, but Shou Ning was so arrogant, and came to Ciming Hall again and again to scold and contradict, saying that she didn't know about King Kang, and asked me to let go of the horse immediately, and dared to say that I had wronged her......"
The Queen Mother stopped, and the shouting of the eldest princess Shouning outside the palace also came in, she was so angry that her face turned blue, and she pointed to the outside of the hall: "Listen, you listen, how arrogant and presumptuous this is, where to put me in her eyes, how can she not know about the collusion between the horse and the rebellion!" ”
King Fu and King Rong glanced at each other, their eyes were complicated, but King Fu opened his mouth: "Queen Mother, Shouning is indeed too arrogant, I don't know what the Queen Mother plans to do with her?" ”
The old county kings did not speak, they clearly saw the meaning of the Queen Mother, and they all sat on their seats without the intention of speaking, just waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.
The Queen Mother sighed, and the anger on her face slowly disappeared: "How can I bear it, she is the eldest daughter of the emperor, and I have always been treated as a daughter-in-law, I have agreed to everything she wants over the years, and even she wants to remarry a concubine who is more than ten years younger, I have responded to her, but now she is so ignorant of what to do, and she is colluding with King Kang to rebel, forcing me to have no choice." Her voice gradually rose, "Since she is so presumptuous with her status as the eldest princess, we must no longer indulge her, take away her position as a princess, remove the name of the clan mansion, and be reduced to a concubine!" ”
King Fu, King Rong and several old county kings were silent for a while, and finally agreed, after all, the queen mother did not ask for the life of Princess Shouning, and she was already extremely magnanimous.
