Chapter 193: The New Emperor Ascends the Throne
The old emperor took Concubine Yu's hand, took Concubine Yu into his arms, and sat quietly for a long time, until the sound sounded in the middle of the night, and then he let go. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Concubine Yu, for so many years, I have been waiting for me, and I have suffered you." The old emperor said with emotion and warmth.
"Your Majesty, you are serious! Waiting for you is the blessing of the concubine, and the concubine is waiting for you all her life! What you said was a disservice to the concubines. ”
"Hehe, you, that's how you can talk. My days are numbered, and I can't suffer you, I have prepared a decree, and when I return to heaven, you will be a companion with the queen and guard the harem. ”
As soon as the old emperor said this, Concubine Yu immediately understood the meaning of his words, and almost revealed her joy, but she was a woman who had lived in the palace for many years, how could something go wrong at a critical moment.
So, Concubine Yu immediately knelt on the ground and replied sadly, "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't want anything, as long as the concubine can be by His Majesty's side, she will be satisfied, Your Majesty's health will be fine, don't say anything sad, the concubine will be sad." ”
When the old emperor saw her like this, he felt even more pity for her in his heart, stretched out his hand to her, and helped her up, and the two of them were sad for a long time.
But said that after the queen returned to the palace, she had been anxious, and she didn't know what was wrong, she always felt that something was wrong, although she washed and lay down, but she couldn't sleep after turning around.
In the middle of the night, the bell rang, waking up the sleeping people in the palace, and also woke up the noble people in Bian Du.
"Mother, mother!" Aunt Jin rushed into the inner room of the queen's bedroom in a panic, looking flustered.
However, at this moment, the queen already knew why the bell rang, and what she had feared all night had happened, and Her Majesty had died.
Seeing the queen's sluggish expression, Aunt Jin understood that the queen already knew, so she didn't say much, and quickly helped the queen change her clothes and put on makeup.
"Where is Concubine Yu?" The queen suddenly asked after changing her clothes.
When Aunt Jin heard this, she felt that she couldn't hide it, so she had to say in a hurry, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty was lying in Concubine Yu's arms before leaving, and Concubine Yu is in His Majesty's bedroom at the moment. ”
"Okay, Hongu knows, let's go." When the queen heard this, her eyes were full of ashes, and she only took a stiff step towards the emperor's bedroom.
At this moment, the prince was also awakened by the bell in his sleep, and guessed what was wrong, because he was too worried about the concubine, he quickly got dressed, rode a fast horse and went straight into the palace, the seventh prince Qi Yun collided with him at the gate of the palace, and it can only be said that in this regard, they are still a little tacit.
After entering the palace, the two went to the old emperor's bedroom together, and knelt in front of the old emperor's bed with the queen who was almost unable to hold on.
The old emperor's funeral lasted for ten days, because the other princes and princesses were far away, and they all came back to see the old emperor for the last time, which made the old emperor mourn.
Then, the princes, princesses, and ministers guarded the spiritual throne of the old emperor for seven days, and the entire Dasheng Dynasty was mourning for the death of the old emperor.
Because the old emperor left a will, the crown prince Qi Xu successfully ascended the throne, and the seventh prince was also named the prince of Ming from the king of Ming, and the other princes and princesses had their own titles, the queen became the queen mother of the East Palace, and the concubine Yu also became the queen mother of the West Palace.
Although there is a lot of gossip among everyone, this is His Majesty's will, and he can only follow His Majesty's will, even if Qi Xu is now the Son of Heaven who has the power in the world, he cannot waver in this matter.
The queen saw it and didn't say anything, the concubine Yu understood that this was the last straw left by the old emperor for herself, she naturally wouldn't make the queen unhappy at this time, but stayed aside without a squeak.
Although Mu Ciyin knew that the old emperor was dead, she couldn't enter the palace, and she could only continue to stay in her house to enjoy the blessings, General Mu and Mrs. Mu went to the palace to pay respects, but fortunately, Qi Xu hadn't thought about how to deal with the Mu family at the moment, so they just went in and out of the palace.
After a few more days, it was finally the day when Qin Tian had made a good calculation, and Qi Xu ascended the throne.
On that day, he first performed a ceremony to worship the heavens in the Jade Buddha Temple, and then returned to the palace in a dragon sedan chair in front of everyone's kneeling.
Mu Ciyin had already learned the news that he was going to ascend the throne, although she regretted that she couldn't show off her status as a quasi-queen in front of everyone, but she could only swallow the bitter water in her stomach, who made her not treated by the new emperor at all now.
At this time, in Murong Mansion, Murong Huilan was anxiously waiting for the maid's reply.
"Miss, Miss, the slave maid can see clearly, the crown princess did not worship the sky with the emperor."
"Is that true?" As soon as Murong Huilan heard the maid say this, her excited heart instantly rose to her throat again.
"Miss, the slaves and maids have inquired clearly, the crown princess did not appear at the funeral of the first emperor, nor did she enter the palace to bow down, and the slave and maid also heard that Concubine Yu became the queen mother of the West Palace at the behest of the emperor."
When Murong Huilan heard this, her heart was even more happy, now it seems that Mu Ciyin will not pose a threat to her at all, not to mention, now her "mother" is the Queen Mother of the West Palace, wouldn't it be easy for her to enter the palace when the new emperor wants to enter the palace.
Thinking of this, Murong Huilan was already ecstatic at the moment, and her usual arrogance was not at all gone.
These days, Mu Ciyin has been staying in her house outside the city and has not gone anywhere, but I don't know what the problem is, her whereabouts have also been discovered by Xue Ke and them.
On this day, the grand ceremony of the new emperor had just ended in the morning, and at noon, Xue Ke brought Han Dixi, Ouyang, Lu Feijun and others to her house, and she was caught off guard.
Looking at the people standing all over the courtyard, Mu Ciyin silently rolled her eyes, looked at them and asked, "I said, how do you know I'm here?" ”
Then, everyone suddenly gave way one after another, and a person came in behind, and Mu Ciyin was shocked through his eyebrows that it was the person who robbed her of the Tianji Gate at the border before.
Xue Ke's next move really frightened Mu Ciyin, I saw him walk to the man's side, pat him on the shoulder, looked at Mu Ciyin and introduced, "This is the master of Tianji Gate, Dongfang Tianyu, well, my hair is small." ”
"Dongfang Tianyu has seen Miss Mu, before, offended! I also hope that Miss Mu will not care about the villain! Spare it in the next time! Dongfang Tianyu smiled, bowed respectfully to Mu Ciyin, and said another word that thundered her.
"Brother Xue!! I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer on this matter, on this person! Otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering the friendship between us! Mu Ciyin had enough brain circuits, and said loudly in a huff. (To be continued.) )
