Chapter 136: Last Words
Empress Dowager Dou took a heavy breath, looked at Sui'er's face and said with a smile: "When I was the queen mother, I regret it, the affection and grace of the year, with tears, with time, are also gone." The rest of the days are also living in the shadow of wealth, and the wealth is countable, but the loneliness and loneliness are endless. It's like living in the tomb of the living dead, even if you are only in your thirties, you have become a widow, everything is obliterated by the dust, and there is no trace of life. I'd rather go with the first emperor, then I will still be her concubine, the woman he still loves. What's the use of me asking for so much power? It ended up like this. Sui'er, if you are destined to be the queen mother, don't be it, go with Zhao'er, then you will be much happier! She patted Sui'er's hand, and her eyes were even more cloudy.
Fall in the huge shadow of the dry round hall, the tent tassel is overflowing, the dry gold pink paint, the palace is hung with the densely woven cloud brocade, the heavy and dense in the hand, is the best brocade of the tribute, the most auspicious pattern. The emperor did not treat the queen mother who had passed down to the world, but this brocade is not joyful, the moon is full, not full of expectations, empty waiting, but the broken hope, the dead thoughts, the withered time, even the most self-pitying bleak moonlight, is not rare to penetrate half a minute.
"Queen Mother, don't think too much, Sui'er will come to accompany the Queen Mother every day in the future, talk with you, play chess with you, and play the piano to relieve your boredom." Sui'er felt that Empress Dowager Dou's hands were getting colder and colder, and not only pitied her. The words she said revealed helplessness and pain, this is the life of a woman in the palace, the days in the palace. There is not much hope.
Wang Yin'er walked in, holding a plate of peeled grapefruit in her hand. When I opened the curtain and came in, I noticed something unusual. Seeing that Empress Dowager Dou's expression was even more wilted, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, "Empress Dowager, you eat some grapefruit to nourish your spirits." Sweet and sour, it can go to the dry fire, and the queen mother eats it just right. ”
Sui'er saw an opportunity. Hurriedly took a piece and sent it to the Empress Dowager Dou's eyes and said, "Empress Dowager, you eat a piece." ”
Empress Dowager Dou opened her eyes and glanced at it, and said with a faint smile: "It's hard to be a silver child." It took so much effort to peel it, and the mourning family couldn't eat a few bites. ”
Wang Yin'er said: "Queen Mother, it's also a blessing to take a bite, this is what the emperor sent me." ”
"Oh. Him? ”。 Empress Dowager Dou's eyes lit up. Only then did he remember what he wanted to ask Sui'er, and said, "There is another population in the palace today, right?" ”。
Wang Yin'er sighed: "Yes, the emperor has another princess, born to a person from the Ma Palace, I heard that the emperor is very happy!" ”
Empress Dowager Dou smiled coldly and said, "It's okay, but it's better if it's a prince." The eldest son of the emperor, did you hear that he was crippled? ”。
"Yes, poor boy. It would have been good. Wang Yin'er shook her head and looked at Empress Dowager Dou's expression. I wanted to stop talking, "Queen Mother, don't worry about the emperor's affairs, he has also grown up, the prince and princess have it, it's not our turn to worry!" If he had thought about the grievances of the Queen Mother, he would have asked you to go back to the Jiade Hall a long time ago. Wang Yin'er was always worried about this one thing in her heart.
"Grievance" Empress Dowager Dou sneered again, pointed to the grapefruit and said: "If this piece of grapefruit is thrown out at will, then it is called grievance, and now you have a plate with it, no matter what plate it is, it already has a place to live, how can it still be called grievance?" ”
Wang Yin'er turned her face to look away, tears had already welled up in her eyes, and she showed even more indignation. Empress Dowager Dou only raised her eyelids slightly, her eyes were as clear as a calm ancient well.
"Sui'er, what blessing do you think it is for the women of the harem to stay in the position of the queen mother?" She turned her head and asked Sui'er.
Sui'er lowered her voice and said cautiously: "This blessing is either the birth of a new emperor or the queen of the first emperor." ”
Empress Dowager Dou sighed lightly, deep and low, like the west wind outside the curtain, silently passing through the palace where the twilight was deepening, "Blessing? Do you know? Sui'er, the mourning family is not the emperor's biological mother, but just the empress of the first emperor, who was fortunate to raise the emperor. He doesn't know it now, and he still treats me as a mother, and if he knows, I'm afraid that the mourning family won't even have a place to bury. I, the queen mother, can also be regarded as unjustifiable, what blessings do I have to care about? ”
Empress Dowager Dou's words surprised Sui'er, and she was so frightened that she didn't know how to answer. She also knew a little about the things in the palace, but she didn't expect that Empress Dowager Dou's words were so amazing. The emperor was not born to her, so who was the emperor's biological mother, and why did the Empress Dowager Dou raise the emperor back then. These were like thunder at the beginning, which made her confused, and her heart jumped suddenly.
Empress Dowager Dou glanced at her and said, "You're scared, don't be afraid, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" If the emperor knew, he wouldn't have crushed me, after all, I raised him to adulthood. As for why he didn't understand why he thought I was so vicious as a mother, that's why. ”
She stretched out her hand and pulled Sui'er and said, "You remember, I don't need you to accompany me every day, you can tell him about the emperor's affairs when the time comes." His mother is Liang Guiren, and I killed her back then. What is he going to do when I die, let him be, what else can he know when he dies? If he does not allow the mourning family, you will see the relationship between the mourning family and you, and bury the bones of the mourning family next to the tomb of the first emperor. If I can accommodate the mourning family, I will bury the mourning family with the first emperor, I only have this one request. The mourning family doesn't want to be buried with me, and it is my greatest blessing to be able to accompany the emperor. ”
With tears in her eyes, she said: "I have no family, only a younger brother, and I don't know life and death." I don't have to worry about him after I die, and since then, the Dou family has disappeared in the Han Dynasty. ”
Sui'er felt sour in her heart, and said softly: "Queen Mother, I will definitely say these words to the emperor, and I will definitely persuade the emperor to obey the queen mother's wishes." ”
"Although there are many people in the emperor's palace, but you are smart, sensible than others, and beautiful, the mourning family does not have a biological son to be the emperor, if there is no one who can send a funeral for the mourning family, then there is nothing. You are the last ray of hope for the mourning family, and it was also arranged by the mourning family more than ten years ago. The Empress Dowager Dou suddenly smiled brightly, looking extremely beautiful under the light, and Sui'er suddenly felt that the young Empress Dowager Dou should be so delicate and moving.
"Sui'er will keep in mind the words of the Queen Mother, and she will not fail the Queen Mother's entrustment."
"Son, I know you're such a person, and I'm relieved. Today is the last day you come to me, and you don't have to come again, the emperor knows, it won't be good for you. I am already like this, I don't have a few days to live, but I am waiting to see the first emperor and atone for his sins. (To be continued......)
