Chapter 51: The Storm and Storm (19)
I saw that Huayi was holding a small bottle in his hand, and he couldn't see what was inside, "Niangniang, didn't you say that you should find a way to feed this wolf dog?" I didn't expect ......" After a pause, he looked at the wolfdog, and quickly continued: "Niangniang, you...... That would be the way to feed it. But now the wolfdog's belly is still empty, since you have sacrificed so much, you shouldn't mind sacrificing a little more, right? Huayi poured the salt in his hand on the queen's face before it had time to scab, "Ah! The queen was in so much pain that she wanted to touch her face with her hand, but her wrist was chained and she couldn't move at all, so she could only wait for the pain to pass.
"Huayi, why don't you give me a good time!" The queen's eyes were scarlet and she looked at the painting.
"Mother, don't, it's important to be alive, isn't it? You don't want to think about it, if Your Highness comes back from the border and can't see you and the emperor, how should I explain to Your Highness? With each word, the smile on the corner of his mouth widened. The queen looked at such a painting and felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet. She was wrong, she was wrong from the beginning, she only remembered that the painting was the woman's child, no matter how bad it was, it couldn't be bad, after all, that woman was not even willing to step on an ant to death, but she forgot that the painting was not that woman after all, she was so good that she could be bullied, the painting was raised by her side, and the cruelty of the means was even daunting to her!
"You mean...... Dust is coming back? Impossible, Chen'er should be facing the enemy at the border at this moment, the battle situation is tense, how can Chen'er return to Kyoto? Although the queen was in pain, she still keenly grasped the key to the painting's mouth.
The painting consciously lost his words, and did not speak again, but when the queen's pain was about to pass, he made up for the queen's face, and the knife skills were so good that there was nothing to say, the thickness and size of each piece of meat were very uniform, and then salt was put on it, and so on, the queen fainted in the wake, and then woke up alive. By the time she got to the back, the queen was completely numb, and the skin on her face was criss-crossed except for a circle around her eyes, and every piece of flesh was cooked by candles and flew outward. Her tongue had been cut out by Huayi because Huayi thought she was too noisy. The tendons of the hands and feet have been broken, and they are weakly resting on the beam. The queen's bun had been spread out and stuck to her blood-stained face, drawing her like this, and she had no interest in torturing her anymore, and left with the wolfhound.
When she returned to Weiyang Palace, Xue'er was looking for her everywhere, and when she saw her, she stepped forward and asked, "Where have you been?" This palace has searched through this Weiyang Palace and has not seen you. ”
"I don't know what the mother is looking for me? The slave saw that Niangniang was taking a nap before, so she went to the imperial dining room to make some delicious snacks for Niangniang. Huayi took out the food box that had been prepared a long time ago and put it in front of Xue'er, "I don't know if it suits Niangniang's appetite." ”
Xue'er looked at the dazzling array of small snacks on the table, and was a little happy, so she picked up a piece and put it into the sandalwood mouth, which melted in her mouth, soft and delicious, and was very delicious. "I have long heard that the painterly girl around the queen has excellent craftsmanship, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation."
"Niangniang laughed, now Niangniang is the master of this harem, under one person, above 10,000 people, and the painting is also the person next to you." Huayi knelt on the ground, her head hung very low, and Xue'er could only see her hair, and when she heard this, the smile on the corner of Xue'er's mouth was even more enlarged.
After eating the snack in her hand, Xue'er took the eldest prince Sheng Xianxu to the top of the main hall, in order to show her sadness, Xue'er specially wore a plain white shirt, her face was not powdered, and the precious hairpins on her head were also taken off one by one, and only a small white flower was pinned behind her ears. The eldest prince was also dressed in white, and the mother and son came in from outside the hall, looking very pitiful. As soon as the ministers in the court saw Xue'er, they knelt down one after another, calling the queen mother Chitose.
Xue'er walked to the phoenix chair next to the dragon chair and said loudly: "All Aiqing is exempt!" Then the ministers got up, and one of the officials stood up and said: "Niangniang, now that the emperor has died, you are the queen, you must not be too worried and sad, this Dali can't be without a king for a day, and please ask Niangniang to quickly set up a prince and ascend the throne as the emperor!" As soon as this voice came out, many ministers began to echo: "Yes, Niangniang, please also ask Niangniang to establish the crown prince and ascend the throne as the emperor!" ”
Before Xue'er could speak, she saw the Manchu Dynasty civil and military who had just gotten up and knelt down again, so she said: "This is ...... The emperor has just returned, and Her Royal Highness the princess is now far away from the border, and I am a woman, I really don't understand the affairs of this court, so it is better to wait for Her Royal Highness the princess to return to Beijing before making a decision. ”
"Niangniang, now that you are the queen, you should be in charge of this court matter!" Another minister stepped out and knelt back, and Cher realized that she hadn't even gotten the group up, and quickly let them get up.
"That'...... According to your Aiqing's opinion, who should be appointed as the prince now? Cher finally spoke up about her problem, and sure enough.
"Niangniang, the old minister thinks that the eldest prince Sheng Xianxu should be appointed as the crown prince, and the eldest prince is from the queen mother, and the emperor did not leave a word before he died, so he should naturally be the eldest prince." For a while, the hall was echoed again.
"In that case, then make the eldest prince the crown prince and hold the enthronement ceremony on a certain day."
"Niangniang, the eldest prince is still young, and you don't understand the affairs of the court, the minister thinks that the king of Huai'an should be recalled to Kyoto, named the regent, and manage the government together!" Xue'er's eyes looked at the man, and at a glance she recognized that person was a henchman of King Huai'an, and her left hand couldn't help but clench into a fist.
The ministers nodded to each other, thinking that this mention was very good, and Xue'er could only say, "Okay!" Come on, draft the decree, declare that the king of Huai'an will enter Beijing immediately, and there must be no mistake! ”
Back in Weiyang Palace, Xue'er realized that she was actually put on a scene by the King of Huai'an, and smashed all the vases in the palace, but Xue'er didn't feel relieved, and the painting stepped forward to wrap Xue'er's injured hand, cleaned up the pieces, and was about to go down, but Xue'er suddenly stopped her.
"Wait, Huayi, has Sheng Xianchen arrived in Kyoto?"
"Back to Niangniang, Her Royal Highness the Princess has been rushing back since she received the news, and the informant just came to report that Her Royal Highness the Princess is still a thousand miles away from Kyoto, and she will probably arrive tomorrow morning."
"Good." King Huai'an, don't you want to be the emperor in the name of righteousness? How could I give you this opportunity. Wait, the show is coming! Cher's eyes were full of calculation.
She had calmed down, and then left the main hall of Weiyang Palace.
The next day, Xianchen arrived in Kyoto, but was stopped at the gate of the palace. "What are you doing here, why don't you get out of the way of the main hall?!" Xian Chen originally felt unhappy when he received the news, but now he was stopped at the gate of the palace, and naturally he was even more displeased.
"Xianchen, it's me, come with me." A familiar voice came, and Xian Chen was shocked, and looked at the person's face, which was Lan Weishu dressed as a guard.
"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be at the border? Even if it comes back, how can it be before me? Xianchen was so puzzled, she really couldn't understand what method Lan Weishu had used to return to Kyoto before her.
Lan Weishu "shh The two came silently all the way to a remote courtyard, which was the place where Gao Qianyue was recuperating before. "Where is this? Lan Weishu, when did you actually buy a house here, I don't know? Xianchen was very curious to see that there was such a chic courtyard in such a remote place.
"Xianchen, you can't enter the palace now." Lan Weishu said with both hands on his thin shoulders.
"Why? Lan Weishu, do you know something? Tell me, what happened to my father? Xian Chen looked at Lan Weishu's face solemnly, and then his heart was also shocked, and he spoke a little eagerly.
"I don't know the specific situation, I only know that the current master of the harem is Xue'er, the queen's whereabouts are unknown, I heard that she was grounded in the Mixin Palace, but I went to see it, and there is no breath of living creatures in the Mixin Palace at all. In addition, they also issued an order to declare the king of Huai'an to enter the palace, appoint the king of Huai'an as the regent, and assist the new emperor in handling the affairs of the court! Lan Weishu made a loud noise, but it made Xianchen frightened for no reason.
"This Xue'er is obviously with the King of Huai'an, and now the two of them are treacherous, and they are plotting Dali Jiangshan, which is hateful!" Slim Dust landed on the white wall next to him with a punch, leaving a fist mark.
"Lan Weishu, do you know how your father died? Why was the queen mother locked up in Mixin Palace? Xian Chen suddenly remembered something, grabbed Lan Weishu's sleeve and asked.
"The dark people found out about this information is limited, but I heard that it seems that the emperor stayed in the queen's palace that night, and then I don't know what happened, so I ...... He died on the queen's bed. Lan Weishu seemed to have some unspeakable openings.
"What?!" Xianchen's volume rose suddenly, as if he couldn't believe it, "So they said that my mother killed my father and locked up my mother, and then in the harem, except for the queen mother and Gao Qianyue, Xue'er's concubine is the highest, and when the queen mother has an accident, Gao Qianyue was not in the palace earlier, so the queen's position naturally fell on Xue'er's head!" It's really a good calculation, I knew it was like this, and whatever I said at the beginning would prevent my father from marrying her! After Xianchen finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to leave, but Lan Weishu grabbed her: "What are you going to do?" Did you kill Cher? ”
Seeing the murderous aura on Xianchen's face, Lan Weishu's pupils opened slightly, and his words were reprimanded, and Ruyu's face was also dyed with a trace of anger.
"Won't everything be solved if I kill her?" Slim Dust just wanted to kill now, and there was no other way to calm the churning blood in her body.
