So the wake lasted three days. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Three days later, in the Chengguang Palace, Xi Ze sat alone on the chair, looking around with a dull gaze, all the palace people retreated, Xi Ze bowed his back slightly, put his hands on his knees, and sat in pain.

The hall is quiet only the sound of the copper kettle dripping faintly and lingeringly, the ticking sound, monotonously repeated, in this silent hall and infinitely amplified, as if it is beating in the heart.

Xi Ze listened in a daze, slightly distracted, because of the death of the Queen Mother, he has dropped out of the dynasty for five days, and he did not go to the court today, he has been sitting here for a whole day, and the water and rice have not entered.

The weather in February is still freezing cold, and the night wind blows the windows, as if they are about to rush in, scraping people like knives. The shadow of the lamp was a little dim, as if it could not illuminate the affairs in front of him, probably no one came in to serve, so the light in the hall was not very bright.

Suddenly, a vague figure walked into the hall, her steps were actually very light, but in this silent hall, it still reached Xi Ze's ears.

It was Wang Ningxuan who came in with something. She was dressed in plain clothes, unpowdered, and her long hair was neatly combed and placed behind her head, and she was not pulled up.

Xi Ze's godless eyes moved, and seeing her kneeling down and putting down her things and kowtowing, Xi Ze took a deep breath and said, "Queen, I've worked hard for you these days, if you are tired of crying, go back to your palace and have a good rest!" Don't be too tired, you don't have to come over to say hello these days! ”

Wang Ningxuan raised his upper body, lowered his long eyelashes slightly, knelt straight, and didn't look at him.

Only then did Xi Ze see that her eyes were as big as eggs, but in just three days, she was already haggard and unpresentable, as if she had a serious illness. A faint pity rose in Xi Ze's heart.

Xi Ze sighed silently and said, "You don't have to kneel, get up!" ”

The voice had a heavy sense of vicissitudes, like a wanderer who was tired of wandering, standing by the sea and sighing silently. With no road ahead, life seems to be about to stop.

Wang Ningxuan knelt motionless, still did not get up, nor did he speak.

Xi Ze glanced at it lightly, and what was on the plate on the ground seemed to be a phoenix seal and a phoenix book, and Xi Ze's face became more and more bad. With a calm face, he asked, "Empress, what are you going to do?" ”

This question was very sonorous, as if there was a thin layer of anger wrapped around it.

Wang Ningxuan's face was sad and light, as if she was in a desperate situation, and she couldn't find a trace of rescue, she took a deep breath, looked at death as if she was home, and said: "The queen mother has been gone for three days, these three days, I don't know if the queen mother is doing well?" The concubine worries day and night, can't sleep at night, no amount of tears can express the pain in the concubine's heart, the death of the queen mother is the fault of the concubine, it is the concubine who did not take good care of the queen mother, can not let her old man live a long and peaceful life, is the concubine's dereliction of duty as the queen! The concubine has no face to face the emperor! However, the emperor was lenient and benevolent, taking care of the love of husband and wife, and did not punish the concubines, but the concubines were very ashamed in their hearts, the queen mother could not be served without one in the ground, and the queen mother had always been serving the concubines before her death, and now it should be continued to serve by the concubines. The concubine is willing to wear the crime and make meritorious contributions, and she must serve the queen mother with all her heart, so that she has food and clothing, and she does not have to worry about being afraid, please ask the emperor for permission! ”

As he spoke, he kowtowed to Xi Ze.

Xi Ze saw her bring up the old things again, and couldn't help but be angry, at first I thought she was just like that, and a few words of reprimand passed, who knew that she actually came to the real thing, no wonder she came with the phoenix seal, this is to be decided, thick anger rose, Xi Ze suppressed his anger, and roared in a low voice: "Queen, are you crying confused?" I have already told you not to talk nonsense, why did you come to me again to talk about this and make me angry? You don't want to say it anymore, I don't want to hear it anymore, you give me a step down, and you don't talk about it again! You're already crying and delirious, hurry back to your middle palace to rest! ”

Wang Ningxuan did not retreat, she knelt down a little numb, tears flowed out irrepressibly, instantly covered her dignified face, like pear blossoms with rain, the uncontrollable mourning wrapped her in groups, as if a huge demon strangled her throat, making her breathless, tears made her vision confused, she said in vanity: "Your Majesty, you tell your concubine, is the person who harmed the queen mother the master of Mingkong?" ”

Xi Ze restrained his anger and said coldly: "I will investigate this matter clearly, it has nothing to do with you, you don't have to worry about it!" ”

"He's right, isn't he?" Wang Ningxuan burst into tears and continued to say sadly, "It's the queen mother he killed, you've already found out, right?" He was invited into the palace by the concubine, it was the concubine who went to Fahua Temple to invite him into the palace, the concubine invited him into the palace, but he killed the queen mother, the concubine was a sinner, the concubine killed the queen mother, the queen mother loved the concubine so much, but the concubine did not filial piety to her, but the people who invited her killed her, the concubine is not worthy of life, the concubine deserves death, please the emperor dispose of the concubine, let the concubine go down to apologize to the queen mother, and serve the queen mother forever! Please decree the emperor to give the concubine a death! ”

Xi Ze was furious, and slammed his fist on the table next to him, shaking the tea cup on the table to the ground, shattering his bones, Xi Ze angrily reprimanded: "Queen, are you crazy? Thou art my wife, and thou hast told me to give thee death! Where is my righteousness? What will the people of the world say about me? When the queen mother was dying, you said that you were going to go down to serve the queen mother, and I reprimanded you at that time, and the queen mother also said about you, why do you still have such thoughts? You've disappointed me! ”

"Your Majesty ......" Wang Ningxuan said with great sadness, "The concubine is guilty, the concubine killed the queen mother, the concubine is not sorry to die, where is the face to continue to live in the world?" Concubine ......"

"Shut up!" Xi Ze interrupted with a roar, "Who said you killed the queen mother?" Says who? ”

Wang Ningxuan was stunned by the yelling, and he couldn't cry anymore, looking at Xi Ze with dull eyes, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Xi Ze's face showed manic anger, and that anger was irrepressible, enveloping his entire body and mind: "If anyone dares to say that the middle palace plotted to kill the queen mother and instigate you to kill yourself, I will make it impossible for anyone to die!" I am not a faint king, I can distinguish between black and white, it is Mingkong who harms the queen mother, it is I who close him first, he wants to get out of the prison, so he will harm the queen mother, you have never colluded with Mingkong, you have been serving the queen mother diligently, the queen mother has been sick for so many months, I have to deal with government affairs, you have always been in place of me in front of the queen mother's bed, filial piety, serving the queen mother to take medicine and eat, has been undressed, never left, no one does better than you! ”
