Chapter 45: Death
In the Guanju Palace, Huangfu Jingwen sent Chu Xiangwan back, and as soon as he entered the hall, Chu Xiangwan knelt down.
"Xiang Wan, what is this for? Get up quickly, the ground is damp, and you're pregnant. Qian'er, help your master up. Huangfu Jingwen was startled when he saw Chu Xiangwan suddenly kneeling.
Qian'er stepped forward to help Chu Xiangwan up, but Chu Xiangwan pushed her arm away.
Chu Xiangwan looked straight at Huangfu Jingwen with a sad face: "Your Majesty, the concubine begs you for something." Please ask the emperor to take care of Li Chongrong and go to see her often, she lost her children and was affected by the concubines, and she lost her child, and she needed the emperor's explanation and comfort. ”
"Okay, I agree to whatever you say, you get up first. I will immediately promote her to Chongyuan, what do you think? Huangfu Jingwen looked at Chu Xiangwan's sad appearance and promised in his mouth.
"Your Majesty, sister, she has a deep affection for the emperor, and please don't let the emperor down." Chu Xiangwan heard that Huangfu Jingwen just said that he wanted to give Fu Qingwu a promotion, and knew that Huangfu Jingwen did not take Fu Qingwu's feelings to heart. She couldn't bear to watch Fu Qingwu lose her children and keep being so infatuated but not getting anything in return, so she kept talking for Fu Qingwu.
"Okay, okay, if you don't get up again, I'm going to be angry. I'll go to see her, but the most important thing now is your body, and the doctor said that you won't be overly worried, so you won't have to worry about other people's affairs, okay? Huangfu Jingwen stepped forward to help Chu Xiangwan and put his arm around her to persuade her.
Chu Xiangwan looked at Huangfu Jingwen's appearance, knowing that it was useless to say more, this kind of thing could not be effective for a while, since Huangfu Jingwen had been promoted to Fu Qingwu's position, there would be hope for the days to come, and it could be regarded as a little comfort for her to lose her child.
"The Divine Decree has arrived." A eunuch suddenly came to Yutang Palace to deliver a decree.
Honeysuckle helped Fu Qingwu to get out of bed to receive the order.
"The emperor ordered that the mother is weak and doesn't need to get up to take orders." The eunuch pinched his throat and said, "The emperor has decreed, from now on, Jin Li will be filled with her appearance, and she will be admired." ”
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live." Fu Qingwu kowtowed on the bed.
"Congratulations to Li Chongyuan." The eunuch accepted a gold leaf from Honeysuckle.
"Please thank the emperor on behalf of the palace when my father-in-law goes back." Fu Qingwu said softly.
"Yes, the slave knows that the mother and the imperial concubine are really sisters, and the imperial concubine asked the emperor for this will as soon as she returned to Guanju Palace." The little eunuch said flatteringly.
"Yes, the palace is going to thank the imperial concubine for another day." There was a moment of embarrassment on Fu Qingwu's face, and a flash of anger, but in the end, it all turned into a smile.
"The emperor is still in the Guanju Palace, and the slave will convey your gratitude to the imperial concubine for the mother." The little eunuch's words made Fu Qingwu's hands grip the quilt tightly, and he saw that the quilt was about to be torn.
Honeysuckle stepped forward and stroked Fu Qingwu's hand, and smiled at the eunuch: "Father-in-law, please go back, Niangniang is also going to rest." ”
"The minion is gone." The little eunuch took the gold leaf and left happily. The smile on Fu Qingwu's face couldn't be held anymore, she tore off the quilt on her body and threw it on the ground, her eyes were hooked, and the rest of the room was dead.
"Miss, don't be sad, child, you will have it in the future." Honeysuckle couldn't bear to look at Fu Qingwu's dejected appearance, and comforted on the side.
"Sad? Yes, who cares about my sadness, even the emperor is not willing to stay here for a while. Fu Qingwu thought of the caring look of Huangfu Jingwen when he left with Chu Xiangwan in his arms, as if his heart had been slashed out by someone.
"Your Majesty, he still cares about Niangniang, otherwise he wouldn't have the will to be promoted so soon."
"Didn't you hear it too, just sent a message to the eunuch that said that it was the imperial concubine who begged, so that I am the one who is full of money. I really want to thank this good sister, as long as she speaks, there is nothing that the emperor does not agree. Fu Qingwu said with a mockery on his face.
"The emperor is just used to the imperial concubine because of the child." Honeysuckle felt weak when she said this, but now she just wanted to comfort Fu Qingwu and let her not be so bad.
"Really? I am also pregnant with the emperor's child, is it because I have a miscarriage that I have become an inconsequential person? The emperor is still in her palace, why, your majesty, why do you care about this kind of woman, the concubine is the one who really loves you! "Fu Qingwu is very sober, so the injury is more painful, and he will be hoarse.
"Miss, don't be so excited, your body is still weak, you need to rest."
"Chu Xiangwan, I won't let her go, if she hadn't fallen down and pressed on my stomach, my child wouldn't be gone. Why, why did I end up losing my child? Fu Qingwu covered her stomach and looked out the window hatefully, she swore an oath: "Child, the mother concubine will not let you die in vain, and will definitely avenge you!" ”
"Miss, you will definitely have another child in the future." Honeysuckle helped Fu Qingwu to lie down, at this time, Fu Qingwu was disheveled, and his face was hideous, which made people scared.
Three days later, Huangfu Jingwen ordered to kill the servants guarding the palace gate in the cold palace, and ordered Jiang Liyu to be killed, and Jiang Liyu's father was also accused of corruption and embezzlement of the treasury a few days later, and the whole family was exiled to Lingnan.
After Fu Qingwu heard the news of death in the palace, he didn't say anything, and immediately took Honeysuckle to the cold palace.
"Smack!" With a slap, Jiang Liyu was beaten by Fu Qingwu and fell to the ground, this slap exhausted all the strength of her body, and Fu Qingwu was so tired that she sat on the chair in the room.
Outside the house, Honeysuckle dredged a few ingots of silver, and asked the executioners to step aside and wait for a while, and when the time came, someone would enter the house with white silk.
"You!" Jiang Liyu pointed at Fu Qingwu with one hand, touched her hot cheek with the other, and looked at Fu Qingwu in horror. Although her mind was long gone, Fu Qingwu's expression at the moment still frightened her, making her lie on the ground in a daze for a long time.
"Just give you three feet of white silk, it's really cheap for you. If it were this palace, it would definitely have people cut off your flesh one by one, and let your blood run out and die. Fu Qingwu looked coldly at Jiang Liyu on the ground, and her eyes were like looking at an ant on the ground that could be trampled to death at any time.
Hearing the word "death", Jiang Liyu seemed to sober up a little, and she began to shout: "No! The emperor promised me that I would investigate thoroughly and let me leave the cold palace. ”
"Leave? You're really dreaming, you slut, I knew I should have let you die in the first place, otherwise my child wouldn't-" Fu Qingwu's hand gripped the edge of the table, his nails so hard that he stuck into the sawdust.
"Kid? I didn't, I didn't push the little prince into the water! I didn't! Jiang Liyu began to go crazy again.
"You killed my child, my child and the emperor's child!" The tears in Fu Qingwu's eyes began to accumulate, and her voice also raised.
"Your child? Hahaha," Jiang Liyu clapped her hands, "Retribution, retribution, who asked you to save Chu Xiangwan!" ”
Looking at such a half-crazy and half-awake Jiang Liyu, Fu Qingwu grabbed her collar and said in her ear: "Originally, I wanted to keep you to deal with Chu Xiangwan, who knew that you actually killed the child of this palace, this palace will watch you go on the road with your own eyes, look at your painful face before death, and comfort the soul of the child in the sky." ”
"It's you, it's you who found someone to poison my food, and the strange noise outside the house, it's you!" In the end, Jiang Liyu seemed to be much more sober.
"It's me, but there is something you don't know, I was the one who instructed Fengchun to push the prince into the water." Fu Qingwu's voice was soft, but every word she said made Jiang Liyu's face pale.
"Your Majesty, I'm going to tell the Emperor!" Jiang Liyu said that she was going to run out.
The door opened, and Honeysuckle came in with the executioner and said, "Jiang Cainu, the hour has come, please go on the road." ”
A few minions carried Jiang Liyu back to the house, and after a few efforts, they were all skilled, so they put a white silk on Jiang Liyu's neck, and the people under them pulled it, and the person holding Jiang Liyu let go, just like that, in less than a cup of tea, Jiang Liyu had stopped struggling.
Fu Qingwu watched the whole weighed quietly, until finally Jiang Liyu lost her breath, and she left with tears and honeysuckle on her face. Stepping out of the door of the cold palace, she said silently in her heart: Chu Xiangwan, your good days are coming to an end.
