Chapter 489: Remorse
Imperial Doctor Li has not returned to the Imperial Hospital, and the news of the previous pilgrimage decree has also reached the Queen Mother, who was a little dizzy and a little stuffy in her chest because of a noisy dispute with the Queen last night.
At this time, the voice of the palace people asking for instructions came from outside the hall: "Queen Mother, the dynasty of the Imperial Palace is over." ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she hurriedly said: "Announce that he has come to meet him." ”
Mama Qi on the side hurriedly responded and turned back to the palace people: "Go, please ask the person who inquired about the news to come in and reply." ”
The palace people immediately went down and brought in the eunuch who inquired about the news, and as soon as the little eunuch saw the queen mother, he knelt down and asked for peace: "Xiao Shunzi see the queen mother." ”
The Queen Mother stood up and asked, "What did the court say?" ”
Xiao Shunzi was a little entangled and said: "The dynasty ended earlier than before, and the slaves should have come back earlier, but they didn't get the news, and they didn't dare to come back, until the courtiers were almost scattered, and the servants found out that the emperor announced the holy decree in the court, which was aimed at the second prince and Prince Shen." ”
"What does the decree say?" The Queen Mother sat up and asked.
"It is said by the decree...... Say...... The second prince and King Shen conspired against each other, and the evidence of the crime was conclusive...... "Xiao Shunzi has never experienced this, and now he is still a little trembling when he talks about the news."
"This Hongu knows, what else...... Ahem, how did the emperor deal with it? The Queen Mother asked eagerly.
"This ......" Xiao Shunzi was a little unsure of how to speak.
The Queen Mother coughed a little anxiously, and Mama Qi immediately stepped forward to stroke the Queen Mother's back and said, "Master." You are in a hurry, listen to this slave slowly, but don't be in a hurry, the doctor just said, let you relax. ”
The Queen Mother coughed a few times and then frowned and said: "Now that the second prince and Qi Shen are rebelling, how can this palace relax, you didn't see it last night, the queen is afraid that she hates this palace to death." ”
"Master, the queen is also a beloved son, and she is a little anxious. Either way, you're her aunt. She knows your difficulties, so naturally she won't be really angry, don't take it too seriously, listen to the emperor's handling opinions first. After Mama Qi persuaded the Queen Mother, she turned her head and said, "Little Shunzi." Hurry up and say how the emperor handled it? ”
Xiao Shunzi also said with a palpitating face: "The emperor just deposed the title and royal status of King Shen and the second prince. He was denounced as commoners. expelled from the capital, not sentenced to death, and ......"
"What else?" The Queen Mother clutched her chest and coughed again.
"And. It was the emperor who succeeded the second prince to the name of King Shen. Xiao Shunzi said a little timidly.
"What! Ahem...... cough cough cough ...... Ahem, ahem! The Queen Mother was so anxious by such a resolution that she coughed violently again, her face instantly turned red, and tears came out of her eyes.
Mama Qi immediately stroked the queen mother's back and tried her best to comfort: "Master, master! Are you alright, Xiao Shunzi, hurry, go and ask the doctor to come! Just go! ”
"Yes!" Seeing this, Xiao Shunzi immediately got up from the ground and was about to rush out.
The Queen Mother waved her hand and threw a tea cup beside her in front of Xiao Shunzi, as if she wanted to say something.
Xiao Shunzi was blocked by the broken teacup in front of his eyes, and looked back at the Queen Mother who was still coughing hoarsely with some confusion and fear, and the pace of rushing out also stopped.
Seeing this, Mama Qi immediately asked, "Master, don't you want a doctor to come?" ”
The Queen Mother nodded with great difficulty, then pointed to a cup of tea behind Mama Qi, and then coughed again.
Mama Qi immediately handed the tea behind her to the Queen Mother, and after the Queen Mother breathed a little smoother, she took a sip of tea, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Qi ...... Mama Qi! ……”
"The old slave is here!"
"Ahem...... cough cough "The Queen Mother's throat was very uncomfortable, so she could only glance at Xiao Shunzi, and then raised her hand at Mama Qi and closed her eyes again.
Mama Qi immediately nodded in comprehension and said, "The old slave understands, the old slave understands!" ”
Then Mama Qi said to Xiao Shunzi: "You go down first and continue to inquire about the news in front of you, if there is any new news to report quickly, you don't have to worry about this, and the imperial doctor doesn't need to invite it for the time being." ”
Seeing this, Xiao Shunzi immediately bowed down and said, "Yes, the slave understands, and the slave has left." ”
"Go ahead!" Mama Qi nodded and said.
As soon as Xiao Shunzi went out, Mama Qi turned around and said with concern: "Master, you ......"
Before Mama Qi's words were finished, the Queen Mother had already raised her hand to stop it, and she finally took a breath, and several people opened their mouths in pain: "This palace ...... Hongu is fine! Ahem, the emperor is so ruthless! ”
"Master, the second prince and King Shen are guilty of rebellion, I'm afraid it's a blessing to be able to stay alive, why do you still say that!" Mama Qi was puzzled.
"Ahem, this palace understood last night that the emperor would definitely not want their lives, firstly, the emperor is indeed kind-hearted, secondly, he does not want to have a reputation for being unkind, and thirdly, this best punishment is precisely to let people live and suffer, not die, hum! The emperor is indeed more ruthless than the previous emperor! "The Queen Mother was a little desperate.
"This ......" Mama Qi still didn't quite understand: "Master, the slave still doesn't understand?" ”
"Hehe, Mama Qi, I'm afraid the emperor already knew about it." The Queen Mother said helplessly and abruptly.
"What!" Mama Qi was a little nervous and said: "How could it be, if the emperor knew, why was he still polite all these years, and even benevolent and virtuous, would he have endured it for so long?" ”。
"This is the emperor's power, just like the first emperor, he just hates you again, as long as there is a need, he will smile at each other, Qi You, this child grew up beside the emperor when he was a child, he has long been trained in this point, but Shen'er has never threatened him again, for the sake of the country and his reputation, he has not had a seizure, and now that Shen'er's rebellion has fallen into his hands, how can he not retaliate!" The Queen Mother was a little deeply afraid.
"Revenge? Does the master think that all this is just the emperor's revenge on you and the Liu family? Mama Qi was not convinced.
"Hey...... Otherwise, why did he make such a decision, and asked the queen to question the palace, in the end, he has just been forbearing, hey Qi Mama, this palace now feels that it is really regretful, maybe it was not for this position at the beginning, this palace should have been a group of children, full of children and grandchildren, and happy, and now the sons, grandsons, are all implicated by me...... cough cough cough ...... Ahem, ahem! "The Queen Mother is getting older, and it seems that her heart has become extraordinarily sensitive and gentle.
Mama Qi said with a sad face: "Master, those are all old accounts from decades ago, the emperor didn't catch the evidence, how can the emperor be, at most he has heard rumors, besides, don't you still have the grace of nurturing him, the emperor is also filial to you, the old slave thinks it won't be like this, you also have a lot of heart." ”
"Hearts? Hehe, the heart of the palace has been uneasy these days, the palace knows that something big must happen, but I didn't expect this to implicate all the palace, yesterday the queen was so aggressively questioned, the palace has long understood in his heart, this is the emperor is waking up our Liu family, otherwise he personally told the queen that this kind of news is not bad, why do you have to let her question the palace? The Queen Mother shook her head and sighed.
"This ......" Mama Qi was a little confused.
"Hehe, a good dethroned title, a good degraded commoner, hehe, the most ruthless thing is to pass Wei'er to Shen'er, so that my Liu family will never have a future! Qi You has denied the last hope of our Liu family, isn't this revenge? At the beginning, we poisoned the world in order to dominate the world, but now we are going around and around, so what, in the end it is empty, this is what the emperor wants to tell us, an empty, an empty, in vain The palace has been calculating and forbearance for decades, in vain! Hehehehe...... Ahem, ahem! The Queen Mother laughed self-deprecatingly.
But this smile is clearly desolate and sad, full of helplessness and remorse, Mama Qi is an old man who has experienced that incident, and it can also be said to be an accomplice to that incident, hearing the Queen Mother say this, her heart can't help but tremble suddenly, yes, the emperor is afraid that he has already known everything, and the decades of peace and quiet are just the emperor's forbearance and non-seizures, but this does not mean that they will always be safe, and Mama Qi's face also turned white.
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Mama Qi, help the palace with makeup." ”
"Master!" Mama Qi was a little stunned and said, "What are you going to do?" The doctor said, you are unstable and need bed rest, what do you want to do? ”
The Queen Mother smiled miserably and said: "Go to see the emperor, this matter is caused by this palace, although it has been a fluke for decades, but now the retribution of this palace is not enough?" Shen'er hates me, Xuehui hates me, the emperor hates me, and now the emperor also hates me to the bone, all of this is because of me, what if I don't go? ”
"! What if you go? The decree has been given, the execution has been decided, what can you redeem? Mama Qi didn't quite understand.
"Redemption? Ay...... Now the emperor has not touched my Liu family is a great luck, the palace does not want to save anything, but the emperor does not mean to let the palace personally apologize, this is owed by the palace, there is no reason to let the children suffer all the time, the palace does not want to save anything, and can not save anything, just want to ask the emperor to let the palace see Shen'er again, under this holy decree, Shen'er will soon leave the capital, never allowed to return, this farewell, the palace is afraid that he will not be able to see it in his lifetime, the palace gave birth to him, but let him suffer so much, It's all wrong with this palace, it's time for this palace to meet him and see him off. "The Queen Mother is most worried about her own son.
"Master, King Shen is a rebellious criminal, the queen couldn't ask to see the unconscious second prince yesterday, how can you ask the emperor to see King Shen?" Mama Qi was worried.
"This palace has its own way, so you can do it." The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and put it on Mama Qi's arm and said.
"Master......" I don't know why, at this moment, just at this moment, Mama Qi saw a decisive look in the Queen Mother, which made her a little frightened.
But even so, Mama Qi still listened to the Queen Mother's instructions and helped the Queen Mother to go to the dormitory to freshen up and dress up.
In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon, and the news of the deposition of King Shen and the second prince had also spread in the capital, and Murong Yuyu had already gotten the latest news, and now he was sitting in the room and didn't know whether he was melancholy and sighing.
