76. Chapter 76
Qian Luojin and Mu Congjin leaned on each other on the snow, and the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, like a horn of death.
They were surrounded by a group of centaurs, not dressed in the clothes of the previous Assassins, but two groups? These people did not come forward to arrest Mu Congjin and Qian Luojin, but stopped around them and made a way, and a young man in white jumped off the tall horse and walked over quickly.
Qian Luojin was so tired that he could only call him in a weak voice.
"Uncle Flower."
This limp and weak "cousin" made Hua Yiwen's heart ache, and he saw a bloody stain under Mu Congjin's body, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers beside him: "What are you doing in a daze!" Carry it away! Pass on the military doctor! ”
In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of ministers who want to see the queen's mother, most of them have heard some rumors, and the dark clouds in the middle of the city seem to be paving the way for the changes in the wind and clouds, and the queen is still wearing the gorgeous phoenix robe that she can wear as a lady of the main palace, her face is still dignified and peaceful, but her heart is cold.
She is a husband and wife who has been with the emperor for too many years to understand her situation, and she can't even cover her ears and steal the bell.
Since a wish in his heart, the emperor's illness has become more and more serious, not only bleeding from his internal organs, but also blood and phlegm in his throat, whining and rumbling, and he can't speak.
He no longer had the option to refuse the queen to serve him, and it seemed that his heart was not as resistant as before.
"Your Majesty, in your heart, what is a concubine?" That day, the queen asked.
The emperor could only let out a dull gasp, probably he had an answer in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.
Mourning is greater than heart death, the queen and Concubine Li will die, the queen knows, Concubine Li knows, and the emperor also knows. If the emperor really decrees the establishment of a prince, no matter which prince is established, it will give another person a way to die.
The queen was sure that the emperor summoned Zhang Chengyu into the palace in the middle of the night that day to write a holy decree to establish a prince, but who was the one, the emperor has not made it clear to the public, and it seems that he has made up his mind to be the edict behind him. It's really something that the emperor's temperament will do, when he is alive, he can't see it, and after he dies, he kicks his legs, and lets future generations make trouble, he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.
He is like this, neither harmless people's courage, nor tolerant of people's measurements, and even more helpless people's hearts, he is such a talentless and virtuous man, after all, he is her husband in life. It is this person who makes her the queen of the world, but she cultivates the concubine who pampers the six palaces.
I only hated that I couldn't stop such a bewitching woman from entering the palace back then, which caused today's disaster.
If she is ruthless, she has few families, she doesn't have to be the queen, and she has two biological sons, if she is affectionate, how can she have two words of happiness in her life?
"Your Majesty...... You've been so confused all your life. ”
This man has lived his whole life in a daze, and the people around him can only be ruthless to protect themselves, so that people can't love or hate them. Back then, she was just an ordinary eunuch lady, married to the emperor who was also not outstanding among the many princes of the previous emperor, who ruined her originally peaceful and leisurely life? Who thinks that giving her the position of queen can never be indebted to her from now on?
"Your Majesty, it was better for you to make her the queen directly, and you don't have to let the concubines ride the tiger today."
Since she is already the queen, Concubine Li is destined to live and die, although the queen is from a small family, she can harden her heart for the sake of the two emperors, since she knows that she no longer has the favor of her husband, she is supported by the maternal love in her heart until now.
Seeing that the emperor's breath is dying, and he may choke his breath at any time, the third prince asks the queen to leave the palace, if the emperor's edict really establishes the second prince as the new emperor, then the palace and the imperial army are all in charge of the second prince, and the queen is still in the palace, wouldn't it be a sheep into the tiger's mouth.
"No matter what your father becomes, in the end he is still alive, the palace will not leave the palace for half a step, Yan'er, the queen mother only explains, if they take the queen mother as a hostage, you will not be able to give in, as long as he respects the queen mother as the queen mother, the queen mother Jiuquan is also smiling."
Ruthless and decisive has always been synonymous with Concubine Li, but the third prince seems to have seen such a trait in the queen today, she hated Concubine Li all her life, but in the end she also found that this is the best way to survive.
Concubine Li was in a good mood, and a secret report came from the Wuling battalion, saying that the assassins sent were all wiped out, and Huang Que, the guard stationed in Litang, was behind, and the fate of the six princes was unknown.
Concubine Li almost bleeds from her white and tender hands, she has long suspected that those unpopular soldiers in the southwest have colluded with the six princes, a good six princes, not very old, but not small, but I don't know how many troops he has accepted in the southwest.
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Concubine Li calmed down again, even if he pocketed the entire southwest, in the bitter cold land of the southwest, there was the Southern Crow clan eyeing at him, and the second prince still had the Beihuai Talisman given by the emperor in his hand, what was there to worry about.
But the night is long and there are many dreams, the six princes have already arrived in the southwest, and they can't give him a chance to cause trouble, is there a more suitable time than this time? It's just that the emperor has become like that, and he still breathes a sigh of relief, which is so boring.
The emperor himself didn't hate himself for why he couldn't swallow this breath, his body couldn't feel anything except pain, and when he heard the queen say something like that, he couldn't say a word he wanted to say.
If he had changed his previous health and health, he would have been furious and let the queen get out, and he dared to say that he was confused, could he be the emperor if he was confused? But after thinking about it, wasn't he, the emperor, picked up by the emperor's brothers who fought and died? He is not stupid, he knows that no one in the court obeys him, the emperor he picked up, the old ministers in the court are all the remnants of the former emperor, they do not leave the first emperor when they open their mouths, and they do not take him in their eyes, and the new young officials are determined that they cannot cover them for the rest of their lives at his age, and hook up with his emperors.
In his life, he is still a nest, even if he becomes an emperor.
Concubine Li came to see the emperor at night, which made the emperor feel better. If there is anything in his life that can make him raise his head, except for the enthronement ceremony, there is only the day when Concubine Li marries into the palace.
The eldest daughter of the Weiguo Mansion, who originally negotiated with the prince to marry the crown princess, married him, the prince, as a concubine, which was the first pride in his life, but it was realized in a woman. The emperor can still remember the impressed looks of those brothers who don't value him on weekdays.
He was full of gratitude to one of his concubines, which caused a very unbalanced situation in the harem.
Concubine Li washed a new hot towel and helped the emperor wipe off the sweat on his forehead, and the emperor's throat whined, as if he wanted to speak.
"Do you want Yun'er to spare the queen's life after she ascends the throne?"
Concubine Li was so empathetic that the emperor was pleased, and he nodded.
"You can rest assured, the concubines will not let the queen live until the day when the new emperor ascends the throne."
There was another violent whining in the emperor's throat, but Concubine Li no longer speculated about what he wanted to say.
"Over the years, the queen has repeatedly fallen into the full set set by the palace, but the emperor just refuses to abolish her throne, you think you are affectionate, but the concubine sues you, you can rest assured, no one from the concubine and the queen will receive your 'love'."
Concubine Li said and moved the hot towel full of water downward, covering the emperor's mouth and nose, listening to the emperor's whimpering whine, Li Guifei did not have a trace of expression on her face.
She still remembered that the first person she killed was the biological mother of the eldest prince, because the woman wanted to assassinate the child in her womb, she was very afraid, afraid that one day she would be negligent and succeeded, so she preemptively attacked to get rid of the trouble.
It was the first drop of blood on her hand, and she was so frightened that she had nightmares for a whole year, in which the biological mother of the eldest prince came to ask for her life, until she killed a second person.
Now, even if she watched the pillow people who hugged each other night and night die, there was no longer any ripple in her heart, Concubine Li just looked at it, only to feel that the emperor's weak limbs were still trying to struggle, very similar to the grasshopper she had seen when she was a child, which was pitiful and funny.
"Don't be afraid, death is not terrible at all, the concubine has also died, it hurts when she is just cut, and she will soon feel nothing." Concubine Li held the emperor's hand, as if comforting the sick child: "Think about Prince Yongren who was killed by you, he was hacked to death with a knife, and it hurts more than you." ”
At first, I just wanted to live.
Later, I wanted to live better.
Now, she is deeply in love with the power that can wield the world.
After a long time, the emperor's body finally clinged to the bed and stopped moving. Concubine Li took away the hot towel from the emperor's face, and the emperor's eyes were round, and he still looked incredulous until he died.
Concubine Li forcibly closed the emperor's eyelids with both hands, she didn't like to be stared at, after all, she would be the queen mother in the future, and she was the most noble woman in the world.
Although Concubine Li Guifei blocked the news of the emperor's return to heaven in order to buy time for the second prince, when the time came, the palace people around the emperor had not come to get the pill, and Dongliu, who was refining the pill for the emperor, guessed the ** points.
He is the master of the Sanqing Temple, no matter which prince ascends the throne, he is the imperial feudal Taoist who has taken care of the previous emperor, and he does not need to participate in these power struggles. Out of the palace gate, if you go to the left, it is to return to his Sanqing Temple, when nothing happens, just wait for the day when the dark clouds disperse; If you go to the right, you will be regarded as the three princes and one party, and if it is the second prince who ascends the throne, his life will not be guaranteed.
The eastward blue-gray Taoist robe fluttered in the wind, and the master once said that he was an immortal, born without desire and desire, ruthless and senseless, as if he was just walking with him to the world.
What the master said was also inaccurate, I don't know when, he also had a concern in his heart that only mortals have.
This time, she should be repaid for her merit money over the years.
Dongliu thought so and walked in the direction of the Three Princes' Mansion.
