Chapter Eighty-Three: The Cold Palace

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't treat me like this, you can't!" Song Jun crawled over and pulled the corner of Liu Zhao's clothes, and tears fell to the ground like beads of broken threads.

"Pull it out!" Liu Zhao was ruthless and kicked Song Jun away. A few waiters came over, dragged the self-crawling Song nobles, and dragged them out of the door. A cold wind blew into the house, Liu Zhao shivered, and heard Song Jun's sharp laughter outside the house, which was terrifying.

The night is deeper, but how many people in this deep palace can sleep?

The sound of coughing kept ringing in the Jiade Hall, and it still kept coming out through the thick Nanmu carved screen. Wang Yin'er hadn't stepped into the inner bed yet, and she had already heard it very clearly. The heart that was originally worried was even heavier. The imperial doctor has said in detail, the queen mother's illness is good and bad, and now in this cold spring day, I am afraid that it will be treated for a period of time.

Lifting the bead curtain and entering, I saw the Empress Dowager Dou leaning obliquely on the collapse, her long head hanging down like a waterfall, forming a landscape painting of different shades on the bed. Although he is middle-aged, there is no wrinkle on his face, and his beautiful eyes still shine with charm. It's just a little pale, as if it's bloodless.

Wang Yin'er put the medicine bowl she was holding next to the couch, helped the Empress Dowager Dou up, and handed the medicine over. Empress Dowager Dou took it and drank it all, closed her eyes deeply, and lay down on the couch again.

"Yin'er, is there something wrong, why is the heart of the mourning family in turmoil." Empress Dowager Dou didn't open her eyes, she stroked her head and rubbed it vigorously. Wang Yin'er hurriedly went over to help her, rubbing gently, "Queen Mother, the palace is not like this, we have been through ups and downs for more than ten years, we have not experienced anything, and now the emperor should worry about it." We'll leave it alone. Recuperate with peace of mind and live to be 100 years old! ”

Empress Dowager Dou snorted and was happy, "You little hooves can amuse me." Thinking about it, I remember that when I first entered the palace draft, the yellow warbler in the garden kept calling, and the clear cry came from time to time. The sound is crisp. It's like the bamboo flute I played when I was a child, melodious and melodious. Occasionally, the wind blows, mixed with other bird calls. I remember standing next to a large bush of peonies. The dark fragrance of flowers blooming in the air floated in the air, and the emperor stood quietly behind me like that, and as soon as I turned around, my heart moved for him. How young the emperor was at that time. I like his eyebrows and eyes the most, they are exactly the same as Zhao'er. ”

Wang Yin'er said with a smile: "The Queen Mother was also very young at that time. I remember that you always like to wear green shirts, which makes your skin as white as snow, and the first emperor looked stupid and said that it was so beautiful! ”

"Hehehe!" Empress Dowager Dou smiled. "Yes, it seems like a long, long time. The first emperor left me, and Zhao'er grew up. Sometimes there's always a kind of sadness when I think about it. A soft feeling. As if as soon as I closed my eyes, the first emperor sat on the edge of my bed, talking to me, but I couldn't hear what was said. ”

"Queen Mother, don't think too much, it's sad and laborious, add a thin quilt to you after a while, sleep warmly, and everything will pass." Wang Yin'er stopped what she was doing and turned around to leave.

"If you don't want to tell me, I can guess that although that Song Guiren is shrewd and ruthless, he is inevitably a little young and inconsiderate, and I have already smelled the smell of musk in that room." Empress Dowager Dou turned sideways and held her head with her hands, looking very charming and moving.

"Queen Mother, Yin'er didn't want you to know. Everything is over, and the emperor has decreed that tomorrow morning, poisoned wine will be given. Wang Yin'er moved her lips, she wanted to say something, but she still didn't say it.

"Yin'er, it's a pity that this kid is a good material to set off waves in the palace, but she is too anxious, the children will have it, why rush for a while, in the end, it depends on who is the one who can catch the power. Look, it won't be so peaceful in this palace. ”

Wang Yin'er took a breath, the medicinal fragrance in the room was still there, and sighed: "Queen Mother, I'll go get you a thin quilt, I heard this matter, my heart hurts." ”

In the early morning, before sunrise, the sky was just a little cloudy, and it was a wonderful and vast moment. In the deep, pale sky, there are also a few stars scattered around, shrouded in mysterious light. A lark, as if united with the stars, sings in the sky, and the sky seems to be holding its breath to listen to the lyrics of this little life for the boundless universe. The highest temple in the palace reflected the bronze horizon, showing its dark shadow; The dazzling white star was hanging on the top of this temple, as if it was a soul flying out of this dark palace.

Song Jun was locked up in the Immortal Pavilion of the Changqiu Palace, she opened the window, looked at the white sky, and let the steep spring breeze blow through her thin body, still with a strange smile on her face.

Does she regret it? She doesn't regret it, there is a little secret in her heart, she has done everything that should be done, and the next thing is to wait for the result. Whether she succeeds or not, she is willing.

What about the Yin Glass? She had already explained it there, and as long as her father and brother were taken care of, she would be satisfied. That Li Xiao'e will always be a stumbling block for herself, except for her, if she is not revealed, she will be the master of the court in the future, and if she is revealed, she still has the last straw. So she wasn't nervous or afraid, she was just very heartbroken, the emperor who possessed her body, didn't have the slightest pity in the end! That's it, it turns out that that's all God can give her. The moment he kicked it, everything went into nothingness. Her heart was cold, very cold, as if she was someone who had nothing to do with him anymore, and she didn't even give her the last chance to see him for the last time. She sneered, watched the sunlight spill in faintly through the window of Dobaoge, dimly shining on her body, and shook her head.

A voice sounded outside the door, she turned her head, and saw that Zheng Zhong had walked in with a few regular attendants and Huangmen, one of whom was holding a black and gold-painted carp tray with a pot of wine and a wine glass of excellent jade quality on it, is this the poisoned wine given? The emperor really looked up to her and used some good wine utensils.

"Song Guiren, it's dawn, please have a drink!" Zheng Zhong came to her and gave a salute.

"Da Changqiu, can I have a request?" Song Jun tidied up her dress and stood up.

"Mother, please speak."

"I want to ask the Imperial Doctor to ask for a pulse for me, can I?" Song Jun looked at Zheng Zhong's eyes, his gaze cold.

"This? Mother, you are dying today, so why bother? Zheng Zhong asked puzzled.

"The prisoner still has a bite of decapitated food before he dies, and he can fulfill a wish, is it too much for me to make such a small request?" Song Jun smiled bitterly, and a line of tears flowed, this was the first time she shed tears since last night's plea.

"This? Okay, go and ask the emperor. Zheng Zhong was helpless and turned to leave.

Liu Zhao has been in the Changqiu Palace, waiting for the result, most of last night's anger has disappeared, at this time, although he still has hatred, he is no longer so persistent. Seeing Zheng Zhong coming to see him, he was a little surprised and asked, "So soon, it's over?" ”

"Your Majesty, it was Song Guiren who refused to drink, and said that before begging the emperor to let her die, let the imperial doctor ask her for a pulse." Zheng Zhong was also strange in his heart, so he reported it truthfully.

Liu Zhao thought for a while and sighed: "Let her be, the dying person, any request is okay, not to mention just asking the imperial doctor to ask for a pulse, although it is strange, there will be no change." ”

"Whoa!" After a while, Imperial Physician Jia was invited. He also hated Song Jun in his heart, and felt that this woman was too vicious, but the emperor's order could not be violated, so he went upstairs to ask for a pulse. As soon as his hand touched the pulse, his heart jumped sharply, and he felt that it was impossible, so he took it seriously again. Suddenly, as if he was burned, he hurriedly withdrew his hand and walked downstairs quickly, Zheng Zhong saw it, I don't know why he was flustered, and hurriedly asked, "What?" What happened? ”

"She, she's pregnant!" Imperial Physician Jia's face was extremely bad.

"What? How could such a thing happen? No wonder she wants to ask for the pulse, it turns out that she has no fear, but this matter still has to be told to the emperor, it is a matter of the emperor's heir, and she must not be reckless. Zheng Zhong said, and then informed Liu Zhao of the result.

Liu Zhao's eyes were like spitting fire when he heard this: "This slut, that's why she asked." ”

He paced back and forth in the hall, "She thought well, thinking that if she took the heir to blackmail me, I would forgive her sins, she dreamed!" A disgusting woman like her, I don't want to look at her again, you pass on the decree, the death penalty is avoided, you enter the cold palace, give birth to the prince, and send it to the Yin nobles to raise. Didn't she want a rich? Don't you want your child to be the prince and the queen yourself? Let her always have a big dream in the cold palace! ”

He thought for a while, and then said: "Go and tell Ma Shiquan in the cold palace that you don't need to give her good food and clothing, and you don't need to find someone to wait, supply her with grain, rice, vegetables and vegetables every day, and let her do it herself." She is so capable, let her live well and live until the day when her child becomes the prince and the emperor. ”

Liu Zhao's words were already very vicious, of course, Song Jun only smiled when he heard it, his life was saved, who can say for sure what will happen in the future? As long as she does not die, her father and brother in the family will not be implicated. I failed in this move, but who knows the final outcome? She suddenly giggled and said to the eunuch who came to take her to the cold palace: "Thank you, you can lead the way, I'll go by myself!" ”

The cold palace is in the deepest part of the West Palace, and the long courtyard has long been in disrepair. The concubines of the first emperor have long since passed away. It has always been an empty palace, uninhabited. The eunuch in charge is called Ma Shiquan, the most comfortable and idle person, except for watching the palace, is sleeping, and he is so fat that he can hardly walk.

I was surprised to get the emperor's will suddenly. The things in this palace, he is the most remote here, and most of them can't hear about it, and now suddenly a noble lady has been beaten into the cold palace, and she is still a pregnant master, and she doesn't know how to deal with it. But after listening to the emperor's explanation, he had a bottom in his heart, and said with a smile: "Fathers-in-law, please go back, this Song nobleman should be handed over to me, and I will let her fight well in this cold palace." That kind of treacherous smile from the heart made Song Jun's heart beat a drum, she didn't know how this fat pig-like eunuch would torture herself. (To be continued)
