Chapter 1: The Heart Is Dead
In the seventy-sixth year of Mizuzawa, the eighth day of the eighth month of August. Sunny, auspicious, and suitable for marriage.
The salute roared in front of the Chaoyang Palace, and the drums played in unison. The new emperor who has just ascended the throne for half a year is married, and he is married to the new queen. The whole Tianshui country celebrated and congratulated the new emperor on his wedding.
The palace was bustling with activity, except for the cold palace located in the depths of the palace, where there was silence.
Everyone knows that the new emperor ascended the throne for more than a month, and he abolished the queen. Soon after, the queen's maiden family, the Wu family, the prime minister of Tianshui State, was raided on charges of rebellion. Dozens of members of the whole family were all beheaded, and none of them were spared.
And the new queen who was married this time was the cousin who had been raised in the Wu family since childhood.
In the cold palace, there is a cold and depressed faction.
On the ground overgrown with weeds, Wu Tianrou knelt on the ground with her flushed son in her arms, her hoarse voice was still crying and screaming, and her red and swollen hands were still beating on the closed heavy wooden door.
"Anyone? I beg you to find a doctor, the prince is sick! Please! ”
There was still no response outside the door. Also, the new emperor's wedding, the whole palace went to join in the fun and receive the reward, how could anyone still stay in this cold palace that no one cared about.
Wu Tianrou actually knew it in her heart, but her son's serious illness made her still cry out unwillingly, with a hint of luck, praying that God could open her eyes and drop a glimmer of hope.
Unfortunately, hope is always illusory. It's been shouting for an hour, and Wu Tianrou's heart has gradually despaired.
"Mother, Feng'er is so hot and uncomfortable, is Feng'er going to die? Just like Cui Ping, when you fall asleep, you can't wake up again. Situ Yifeng, whose face was burning purple red, opened his small mouth full of blisters and asked weakly.
"No, my mother's wind will be fine!"
Wu Tianrou put her face on her son's hot forehead, feeling that the cloth towel was already hot, and she was busy re-wetting the broken crockpot next to her and applying it to his forehead.
stroked his son's red-hot face, and tears flowed again in his already red and swollen eyes.
"Mother doesn't cry, Feng'er is fine, Feng'er is not uncomfortable." Situ Yifeng stretched out his thin little hand and tried his best to wipe away Wu Tianrou's tears.
"Feng'er will be more obedient in the future, don't be sad."
"Feng'er, it's all my mother's incompetence, it's my mother's fault that made you suffer like this!" Seeing her five-year-old son's thin and sick appearance now, Wu Tianrou felt like a knife.
Hearing the sound of the salute coming from outside, Wu Tianrou's eyes shot hatred, and he clenched his teeth tightly as he looked in the direction of Chaoyang Palace.
Situ Jingshuo, Wu Chengcheng! These two ungrateful people, if it weren't for these two people, how could they have fallen into such a fate.
Wu Qingcheng, a white-eyed wolf, was taken back to the prime minister's mansion by her father for adoption after her parents died. Wu Tianrou asked herself that the Wu family had always treated her well, but she didn't expect her to seduce Situ Jingshuo and frame the Wu family together.
"My father, mother, and elder brother ...... all of them because I couldn't understand people clearly, which harmed the whole family. If I hadn't chosen to marry Situ Jingxuan, the family would not have been pulled into the water, and I could only fully support Situ Jingshuo to seize the imperial power, not to mention the current disaster of raiding the family! Tears of remorse slipped silently, and Wu Tianrou unconsciously bit her lip.
The corners of his mouth pulled a mocking smile, it is forgivable to do evil in heaven, and it is impossible to live for self-inflicted evil. I am doing it myself, but my family and children are innocent! Why did Heaven punish her so much!
"Mother, why didn't my father come to see us, is he still angry?" The little Situ Yifeng looked at Wu Tianrou with a sad face.
"Mother, Aunt Cheng really wasn't pushed down by Feng'er, the little brother wasn't made by Feng'er, Feng'er really didn't lie."
"My mother knows that my wind has not done anything wrong at all, and my mother knows it!" Wu Tianrou gently stroked Situ Yifeng's chest, telling him not to get excited.
Of course, she knew that the so-called Feng'er overthrowing the concubine and causing her child to miscarry was a conspiracy planned by Wu Tingcheng.
In fact, before the incident, Wu Tingrou had learned from the imperial doctor that Wu Tingcheng's child was unstable and could not be saved. She has always asked the imperial doctor to hide this matter, until now she really can't keep it, and the imperial doctor is afraid of being punished and ran to inform Wu Tianrou, who is the queen.
At that time, Wu Tianrou wanted to inform Situ Jingxuan of this matter, but she didn't expect that before she had time to meet Situ Jingxuan, the news came that Situ Yifeng pushed the concubine to the court, causing Wu Tingcheng to have a miscarriage.
By the time she arrived at the scene, Xiao Yifeng had been knocked to the ground by Situ Jingxuan.
Wu Tianrou tried to sue him that the child couldn't be saved, but Situ Jingshuo couldn't listen to her at all, and only thought that she was making excuses for Situ Yifeng, and finally simply surrendered to the crime.
"Wu Tianrou is a femme fatale, and arranges for her young son to kill the concubine and have a miscarriage, and her mind is vicious and unworthy of the world. Abolishing the position of the queen and entering the cold palace with the prince Situ Yifeng......" Situ Jingxuan's indifferent and ruthless words are still in his ears, and he will never miss the old feelings.
Wu Tianrou closed her eyes and didn't let the tears of pain slip down.
"Mother, Feng'er will definitely be obedient in the future and don't let them bully her mother again. Mother, don't cry, the wind is so sleepy......" Xiao Yifeng said softly, but his eyes slowly closed, and the little hand on Wu Tianrou's face finally hung down weakly.
"Don't, don't! Feng'er, Feng'er, open your eyes! Don't sleep! Wind, wind! ......" Wu Tianrou grabbed Xiao Yifeng's slippery little hand and stroked it on her face, hugged his little body tightly, and shouted loudly, tears rolling down.
"Come on! Is there anyone? Go find the Imperial Doctor! ……”
The cries in the cold palace were soon drowned out by the salute and drum music in the palace, and there was no wave......
The moon sinks and disappears, and the dawn is in the sky.
The joy in the palace has long since fallen silent, and the whole palace has returned to a deep silence.
A burst of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the cold palace, and with the piercing sound of the door opening, a gorgeous figure slowly walked in.
The person who came was dressed in a bright red brocade palace dress that mopped the floor, embroidered with a golden phoenix with wings ready to fly, and the beauty was dignified and noble.
A long hair like ink is tied with a luxurious phoenix chasing bun, and he wears a red gold winged bead nine phoenix crown on his head, and a golden silk phoenix bead hairpin is inserted in his cloud temples. The phoenix crown tassel hanging down at the end of the hair sways with the beauty's every move, and the beauty is swaying.
The visitor slowly walked to Wu Tianrou, who was sitting among the weeds in the courtyard, hugging Situ Yifeng's body tightly in a daze.
"Sister, my sister's wedding today is too busy, so I have time to come and see my sister at this time."
"Wu Chengcheng!"
Wu Tianrou, who raised her head when she heard the voice, suddenly burst out with strong hatred on Mu Ran's face when she saw the person in front of her.
"You slut!"
"How can my sister not be happy when she is married, these happy points will be given to my sister to eat! It's good to go on the road when you're full, and it's also a game for our sisters. ”
Wu Tingcheng turned a blind eye to Wu Tingrou's hatred, just smiled coquettishly, and asked the attendant to throw Wu Tianrou some pastries.
The pastry with the word "happy" rolled on the ground and hit Wu Tianrou's body, and the bright red word "happy" on it stung her eyes.
"Why? My Wu family provides you with food and shelter, and raises you as an adult, where is there a place to be sorry for you, why are you so ungrateful! ”
With scarlet eyes, Wu Tianrou looked at Wu Tingcheng in front of him with hatred.
"Why? It's not because you have too much! Why can you have the favor of your parents and brothers, and why can you be born with glory and wealth! Why can you become a queen! I'm just going to destroy what you have, haha......"
Wu Qingcheng laughed loudly, and the glory of her body couldn't hide her madness.
"You madman! Are you doing these things just for the sake of this? ”
Wu Tingrou's eyes widened in disbelief, she never thought that Wu Qingcheng's heart was so distorted. "Aren't you afraid that Situ Jingshuo will know your true face?"
"My good sister, I'm afraid you don't know yet. At noon yesterday, dozens of members of the Wu family had all beheaded themselves at the gate of the city. It just so happens that the little mongrel is dead, and now it's up to you. ”
Wu Qingcheng smiled, but his bright red lips spat out vicious words.
"These are all the emperor's own wills. Do you really think the emperor liked you? If it weren't for the support of the Prime Minister's Office, how could the emperor marry you. Now that your Wu family is useless, you can also die, my good sister. ”
"No way, you're lying! He promised me that he wouldn't kill my family! ”
Hearing her words, Wu Tianrou immediately stood up in shock.
"Stupid, that's just a lie to get you to tell your last secret."
Wu Tingcheng sneered and waved his hand to let the attendant hand over the previous glass of poisoned wine, and asked people to drag away the body of Situ Yifeng, who Wu Tianrou was holding tightly in his arms.
"Don't, what do you do! Wu Chengcheng, you slut! ”
Seeing Yun'er's body being dragged to the ground, Wu Tianrou struggled hard.
"What are you struggling with, you just have to die. Anyway, this little bastard is dead, and your family will soon be able to meet below. ”
After speaking, Wu Chengcheng showed a cruel smile, and kicked Situ Yifeng's small body out with one kick, hitting the wall straight and breaking his head and face.
Wu Tianrou has been living in secret, for the sake of her family and son. Now that she knew that there was no more qiē, she couldn't help but feel like a dead heart.
"Wu Chengcheng! I, Wu Tianrou, curse you and Situ Jingshuo with my blood today, you will not die well, and you will never get what you want! ”
Wu Tianrou, who was about to split, broke free from the attendant's hand and slammed into the wall stained with Situ Yifeng's blood, and she slowly fell to the ground in the blood splash.
Looking at Xiao Yifeng's corpse beside him, Wu Tianrou stretched out her hand with difficulty.
"I hope it's a nightmare, and it hasn't happened......"
With endless resentment, Wu Tianrou finally closed her eyes......
