Finale (Part II)
PS: This night is obviously very long for Ji Xiaotang.
The confrontation between Qin Lin and Empress Dowager Han opened up the bloody past.
It turned out that the first emperor did not die a normal death, but was killed by the Empress Dowager Han. And Empress Dowager Han's means of killing the first emperor are the same as the means she used to kill the imperial concubine. Moreover, Empress Dowager Han also took advantage of Changning, the youngest of her and the first emperor, and she was also the most favored daughter of the first emperor at that time~ daughter.
When the first emperor was dying, he should have understood it, and he didn't know what kind of anger and ...... it would be It hurts my heart.
And this should be what the Empress Dowager Han wants.
Empress Dowager Han is the most vicious woman Ji Xiaotang has ever seen in his life.
And it was obviously not only the first emperor and the imperial concubine who died under the mysterious poison of the Empress Dowager Han, but also the eldest princess Qin Min died like this.
Although the death of the first emperor was calmly accepted by the outside world, people close to him would inevitably be suspicious, such as Lu Ge Lao, such as Princess Taichang. Because Lu Ge Lao knew better, and at the same time was noticed by the Empress Dowager Han, so the whole family died.
(Because there are too many words, the beginning is in the testimonial)
People who are close will inevitably be suspicious, such as Lu Ge Lao, such as Princess Taichang. Because Lu Ge Lao knew better, and at the same time was noticed by the Empress Dowager Han, so the whole family died.
The eldest princess should also have doubts, but there is no solid evidence, and she doesn't know as much as Lu Ge Lao, so she survived. Princess Taichang has lived in seclusion for many years, and there should be this reason.
Later, for the sake of Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian's family affairs. Qin Min entered the palace, but he was afraid that something else happened at that time, which would make Empress Dowager Han suspect that Qin Min knew the truth~ appearance. Empress Dowager Han pretended to agree to marry and forced Qin Min to death.
The reason why Qin Min died voluntarily was not just for the sake of Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian's family affairs. She should be to protect the entire Weiwu Marquis Mansion, and at the same time, it is also to maintain the stability of the Great Qin Jiangshan Society.
At that time, no one could shake the Empress Dowager Han. If a conflict breaks out, both sides lose. Great Qin is worried about internal and external troubles, but he can't help this.
The eldest princess died because of love and righteousness.
In order to protect Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian. She didn't reveal her true ~ face to the two, but she also left clues. She also hopes that one day, the true ~ appearance of her death can be revealed. The murder of the first emperor can also be revealed, and the Empress Dowager Han got the fate she deserved.
Ji Xiaotang gently touched the immortal bead on his wrist, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager Han, she wouldn't have used this string of beads at all. So it seems. The eldest princess was when she gave her the beads. I'm afraid that it has a deep meaning.
This bead not only saved Ji Xiaotang's life, but also opened a corner of the true ~ phase of the first emperor's murder. And the development of all things, all the contradictions and conflicts, came to a peak tonight.
Empress Dowager Han knew that the limit had come, so she no longer denied it, and she should know that she had already exposed too many flaws, and it was useless to continue to deny it.
And Qin Lin obviously didn't want to execute the Empress Dowager Han in private like this. He wants to announce what the Empress Dowager Han has done to the world.
Not to mention other things, it is the one that killed the first emperor. It is enough for the Empress Dowager Han to never recover.
Obviously, only by doing this can Qin Lin's heart be more comfortable. Killing the Empress Dowager Han is too simple for him, and it is too easy for the Empress Dowager Han to die.
"Slut, you finally have today! is waiting to be pointed out by thousands of people in the world, and he will not be able to turn over as a sinner for eternity! β
Empress Dowager Han snorted coldly, her eyes slowly fell on Ji Xiaotang's body again, and she deliberately stared at Xuan'er.
Of course, Ji Xiaotang would not let Xuan'er go to see the Empress Dowager Han.
As the saying goes, when a person is dying, his words are good. But this obviously does not apply to the Empress Dowager Han. Even if she was going to die, she would use her last bit of strength to bite someone else.
Obviously, no matter what she says to Qin Lin or Zheng Gui now, it won't sting these two people.
But Ji Xiaotang is different.
"Xiaotang, I'm going to go first, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for you, but I won't be alone, Zhen'er and Xuan'er will come back to accompany me. Perhaps, at this time, Zhen'er is already waiting for me on Huangquan Road, hehe, hehe. β
Empress Dowager Han's smile was like a night owl.
Qin Zhen...... How is Qin Zhen doing now?
Empress Dowager Han obviously wants to take advantage of tonight to achieve her goal, so is she satisfied with Qin Zhen alone? And Qin Lin, he has obviously been planning for a long time today, while he is seizing the palace, will he allow Qin Zhen to pose a threat to him behind his back?
In addition to these two people, there is also a Qi Younian.
"Ah Zhen, he ......" Ji Xiaotang looked at the Empress Dowager Han.
At the same time, Qi Younian glanced at Ji Xiaotang quickly, and then looked away.
"I just want Xuan'er to inherit the throne. Zhen'er also has my blood in his body, as long as I leave him outside the city and don't get in the way, I won't really kill him. But ......" Empress Dowager Han motioned to Ji Xiaotang to look at Qin Lin.
But Qin Lin is different, Qin Lin came to the palace, of course, not only to expose the Empress Dowager Han, but also for that position. Qin Lin would not tolerate Qin Zhen.
Qin Lin naturally understood Empress Dowager Han's vicious thoughts.
"The fourth brother, like me, was deeply oppressed by this slut. The fourth brother has only learned people, and he is the pillar of the country, and I will not attack the fourth brother in public or private. β
Both of them said that they would not attack Qin Zhen.
So Qi Younian......
Ji Xiaotang asked Qi Younian.
In this matter, she didn't believe in Empress Dowager Han, and she also didn't believe in Qin Lin.
Seeing that although Ji Xiaotang showed a concerned look at first, she quickly calmed down again, and there was no reaction she expected at all, Empress Dowager Han was very unwilling.
"Xiaotang, what about Zhen'er, I'm afraid that you have no power to return to the sky. You have to watch Xuan'er alive, don't let him be assassinated by anyone! Hehe, Princess Su's methods, Xiaotang, you entered Beijing late, but you haven't really seen it yet! β
"Xiaotang," Zheng Gui smiled at Ji Xiaotang, "This slut is vicious, Xiaotang's sister shouldn't be provoked by her, so she fell for her." β
Ji Xiaotang smiled: "Of course not." β
Empress Dowager Han just sneered, and her cold eyes were full of mockery and malice. It seemed that she had foreseen what was going to happen next.
At this time, someone came in to report and remind Qin Lin that it was not too early.
Empress Dowager Han in order to control the government. Not only killed the ministers, exterminated dissidents, but also poisoned the first emperor and Emperor Longqing successively, King Qin Lin found out about the conspiracy of the Empress Dowager Han and entered the palace to save the driver, but unfortunately it was a step too late, and Emperor Longqing had no skills to return to heaven.
Before his death, Emperor Longqing left a will to let Qin Lin, the king of Su, succeed to the throne. and deal with the Empress Dowager Han and a group of fellow parties in accordance with national law.
The sky is about to shine, and it is time to ring the bell to announce the news of Emperor Longqing's death. Summoned hundreds of officials into the palace.
And once the hundred officials entered the palace and Qin Lin sat on the throne, everything was settled, and the next thing was to mourn Emperor Longqing and dispose of the Empress Dowager Han.
Qin Lin's subordinates had obviously been prepared for a long time. I was about to follow the order to go down. I heard that there was a sudden chaos outside.
The chaos outside was very sudden, but it quickly calmed down, so Qin Lin only frowned slightly.
"What's going on out there?"
"My subordinates go out and have a look."
When the man walked to the door of the main hall, his face changed drastically, and he slowly retreated step by step, as if he had seen an evil ghost.
But then the one who was surrounded by everyone was really incompatible with the evil spirit.
Dressed in a plain prince python robe, the jade tree is in the wind. The face is like a crown of jade, not Qin Zhen or which.
"Daddy!" Xuan'er's eyes are sharp. Seeing Qin Zhen at a glance, the little guy was really happy, and he screamed milkily.
Qin Lin and Zheng Gui also saw Qin Zhen, both of them were stunned, and when they heard Xuan'er's scream, Zheng Gui rushed to Ji Xiaotang's side.
Qin Lin shouted: "Zhenguo Gong! Ayo! β
Qi Younian took a step forward, and with one arm, he blocked Zheng Gui.
"You ......," Zheng Gui was shocked.
"Please be respectful to the princess, I don't want to offend the princess." Qi Younian said coldly to Zheng Gui.
"You ......" Qin Lin also pointed to Qi Younian.
Qin Zhen came, not only unharmed, but obviously prepared. Everyone was surprised by Qin Zhen's arrival, only Qi Younian remained silent. At this time, he not only protected Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er, but also was unceremonious to Zheng Gui.
Qin Lin is extremely smart, what else can't he guess.
"Hahaha," Qin Lin laughed.
At the same time, there was also the Empress Dowager Han who laughed: "The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, wonderful, wonderful!" β
She could see what was going on. Her situation could not have been worse, and the hall was full of her enemies, and she would be especially happy to see anyone unlucky.
No one cares about Empress Dowager Han.
Qin Zhen walked into the main hall with people, and when his eyes swept over the main hall, he had a full view of the situation in the main hall. He ignored others, and strode to Ji Xiaotang first.
"Xiaotang, Xuan'er, you're okay!" Although the mother and son were not harmed no matter how they looked, they always had to get Ji Xiaotang's personal answer so that he could really rest assured.
Moreover, even if he didn't seem to be hurt in any way, with today's situation, it was inevitable that he would suffer some grievances, which made Qin Zhen the most distressed and uneasy.
"We're fine." Ji Xiaotang smiled, "The prince came at the right time." β
"Daddy!" Xuan'er was very happy when he saw Qin Zhen, and he stretched out his hand to Qin Zhen from Ji Xiaotang's arms, asking Qin Zhen to hug him.
Qin Zhen was naturally willing, so he took Xuan'er over and hugged her in his arms.
Xuan'er was hugged by Qin Zhen, so she wrapped her arms around Qin Zhen's neck, and put her round~rolling little body on Qin Zhen's chest at the same time. The little guy misses Daddy so much.
Qin Zhen's heart suddenly softened, and he kissed Xuan'er on the forehead with a big kiss.
Xuan'er giggled.
"Daddy," Xuan'er made love to Qin Zhen for a while, and then hurriedly told Qin Zhen, "Mother~dear, Uncle Ayou, Tang Tang...... Well, it's fun! Daddy is coming to play with him, isn't he? β
Qin Zhen didn't understand at first, so he looked at Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang smiled at Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen immediately understood, on the one hand, he felt sorry for Xuan'er, and on the other hand, he was grateful and admired Ji Xiaotang. He knew that Ji Xiaotang must have told Xuan'er this in order not to make Xuan'er afraid.
Obviously, Ji Xiaotang's method is very effective, otherwise Xuan'er ......
I'm afraid I'm sure I'll be frightened.
When Ji Xiaotang made this suggestion, Qin Zhen disagreed at first. He would rather be caught for his own dowry. is also unwilling to let Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er put themselves in danger.
But Ji Xiaotang's idea is very firm, and the reasons put forward by Ji Xiaotang are irrefutable.
If Qin Zhen pretended to be caught, he would be in danger of being killed in an instant.
But Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er are different.
Qi Younian had enough reasons to protect their mother and son. As long as Qi Younian is here, Ji Xiaotang's life will not be in danger. And as long as Ji Xiaotang still has a breath, he will not allow anyone to hurt Xuan'er.
Only when Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er pretend to be arrested can they paralyze Empress Dowager Han and Qin Lin, and attract the attention of these people, and I, Qin Zhen, will strive for the most precious time and opportunity.
The husband and wife had a lot of arguments about this, and finally Qin Zhen had to agree to Ji Xiaotang.
Although he knew. With Ji Xiaotang's wisdom, he can protect himself, and even if Qi Younian sacrifices his life, he will protect Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er. But before he entered the main hall and saw Ji Xiaotang's mother and son with his own eyes, he was still inevitably worried in his heart.
Even if he now confirmed with his own eyes that the mother and son were indeed safe, Qin Zhen was still a little afraid in his heart.
But as Ji Xiaotang said. It was a night-wrenching. These are the dangers they have to go through. Without this bloody rain, how can we see the rainbow in the sky tomorrow!
"Xuan'er is right, Daddy is here to play together." Qin Zhen kissed his son's head again and said with a smile.
Xuan'er clapped her little hands happily.
Qin Zhen hugged his son for a while, and then reluctantly handed his son back into Ji Xiaotang's hands.
"Third brother......" Qin Zhen turned to Qin Lin, and the momentum of the whole person changed, and he was no longer in front of Ji Xiaotang, holding Xuan's childhood warmth and kindness.
"When did it start?" Qin Lin is an extremely smart person. At this time, the cause and effect of the matter have already been sorted out. He didn't talk any nonsense when facing Qin Zhen, and only asked the most critical questions.
"From the very beginning......" Qin Zhen was not hiding in front of Qin Lin. Not only is there no need to conceal anything, but an opponent like Qin Lin is worthy of respect, and he should also know the true ~ phase.
"At the beginning......" Qin Lin muttered, obviously still a little puzzled.
"Yes, at the beginning." Qin Zhen nodded.
When did it first start?
"It was the time when the Queen Mother killed the eldest princess and reversed herself, and wanted Xiaotang to make a choice between you and me." Qin Zhen told Qin Lin.
Empress Dowager Han reversed her word, and she didn't admit that she had promised the eldest prince to give Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian a marriage. At that time, Ji Xiaotang calmly deduced that it was completely impossible between her and Qi Younian.
It is very likely that Empress Dowager Han will kill her, if it weren't for the fact that she has other very important use value.
Fortunately, she has a very important use value.
Just like a good chess player, Ji Xiaotang accurately guessed what kind of means and steps Empress Dowager Han would take, she found Qi Younian and Qin Zhen, and told them her plan.
That's just a preliminary plan.
Later, the Empress Dowager Han issued a decree to give marriage, and Qi Younian beat Qin Zhen bitterly.
"This is also fake, it was made for the slut to see, and it was also made for me to see, isn't it?" Qin Lin smiled bitterly.
"It's not fake." Qi Younian said in a deep voice.
At that time, his mood and actions of beating Qin Zhen were not adulterated at all, but Qin Zhen's beating had an element of drama. After that, it's all about counting......
Qi Younian pretended to have an enmity with Qin Zhen and was loyal to the Empress Dowager Han, but behind his back, he was gradually co-opted by Qin Lin.
"Ayo, you lied to everyone!" Qin Lin looked at Qi Younian.
Facing Qin Lin's gaze, Qi Younian didn't have any dodge.
"Lord Wang, you misunderstood. I didn't lie to anyone...... and when I think about what I said, it wasn't adulterated at all. Qi Younian said in a deep voice.
He did not lie to the Empress Dowager Han, as long as Emperor Longqing was in one day, he would be loyal to Emperor Longqing for one day, and he did this. Loyalty to Emperor Longqing does not mean loyalty to the Empress Dowager Han.
It was Empress Dowager Han who was self-righteous and treated herself and Emperor Longqing as one, thinking that Qi Younian had always obeyed her orders, which meant that he was loyal to her.
He didn't lie to Qin Lin either.
He really couldn't let go of Ji Xiaotang in his heart, and vowed never to give up, and he would not marry Ji Xiaotang. He also said that he hated Qin Lin.
None of this is fake.
But it was Empress Dowager Han and Qin Lin themselves who thought that because of these, he would help them eliminate dissidents. Get rid of Qin Zhen and get Ji Xiaotang.
No one believed that in this situation, he would still help Qin Zhen.
But that's what he did.
"He wasn't righteous enough, and I still hate him." But apart from this incident, Qin Zhen no longer had anything to be sorry for him. Qin Zhen is sincere to Ji Xiaotang.
Moreover, he and Qin Zhen also have the same goals, and they can be said to be like-minded.
"To say like-minded, Ayo. You and I are like-minded. Qin Lin looked at Qi Younian. They all had close relatives who died at the hands of the Empress Dowager Han, and if you want to say that you are like-minded, Qi Younian should stand by his side.
"Lord Su, you are very good. If the world is peaceful, I and the prince will definitely become friends if they don't have scheming friends. But ......"
Although Qin Zhen robbed Ji Xiaotang, his friendship with him since childhood was true. When it comes to character, talent and pattern. Qi Younian is also more inclined to Qin Zhen. Of course, there is another very important point.
Qi Younian slowly turned sideways. I didn't go to see Qin Lin anymore.
If there is a woman who wants to be a mother in the world, he is willing that this woman is Ji Xiaotang.
He didn't help Qin Zhen get the throne, he just helped his beloved woman sit on the supreme golden phoenix. He can't marry her to bring her happiness, but he can help her do it.
Let her be the most noble woman in the world!
Qin Lin was still smiling, but his smile became more bitter.
"Since you've made up your mind early and everything is ready, why bother playing me again!" Qin Lin's words were asked to Qin Zhen. Since Qin Zhen has long been united with Qi Younian. With the support of such a powerful force, Qin Zhen could completely control the inner palace one step ahead of him. and control the palace of the king of Tasu.
"Third brother, you misunderstood."
Qin Lin didn't think it was a misunderstanding.
Qin Zhen clearly regarded him as a pawn and a stepping stone, and now he came in and picked up ready-made ones.
"Fourth brother, you can't bear to use Xiaotang and Xuan'er. You're a better fit for that seat than I am! Qin Lin said with a sneer.
"Third brother, you really misunderstood. If it weren't a last resort, how could I let Xiaotang and Xuan'er get into danger! Qin Zhen smiled bitterly, "Third brother, you underestimate your own strength too much. β
"Hmm......"
"This is also what Xiaotang strongly advocates, she doesn't want to die too many people, she doesn't want to see too much blood."
If it is like what Qin Lin said, there will definitely be a bloody battle between King Su's Mansion and King An's Mansion, and countless people will die at that time.
Although bloodshed is inevitable tonight, Ji Xiaotang is merciful and wants to minimize casualties. And what she wants to reduce is not just the casualties of King An's Mansion.
"And ......" Qin Zhen said this, he paused and looked at Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang understood, and then continued: "Moreover, we want to give Prince Su a chance." β
"Give me a chance?" Qin Lin was puzzled and didn't believe it.
Ji Xiaotang was not affected by Qin Lin's attitude, and still said sincerely: "Yes, I want to give the prince a chance to take revenge in person." β
As he spoke, Ji Xiaotang's gaze turned to Empress Dowager Han.
There was a mother-killing feud between Qin Lin and the Empress Dowager Han, and the Empress Dowager Han had harmed Qin Lin many times, but it was only because the first emperor strengthened his vigilance after the death of the imperial concubine and protected Qin Lin thoroughly, so the Empress Dowager Han did not succeed.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager Han also killed the first emperor.
The relationship between Qin Lin and the first emperor is very deep.
He's been on a hard job all these years, and it's definitely not just about hoping to get a big position. In his opinion, revenge on the Empress Dowager Han is almost the same weight as getting a big position.
Moreover, getting the throne is also revenge on the Empress Dowager Han.
"So, I have to thank you!" Qin Lin said with a smile.
I have to say that personally defeating the Empress Dowager Han and exposing her conspiracy to kill the first emperor in person really made Qin Lin very happy and untied a knot that had been coiling in his heart all these years.
"People have no last resort, you're just being taken advantage of. The fox girl was born, and she will only have some fox methods, after all, she is just smiling and generous, hahaha. Empress Dowager Han lost no time in striking Qin Lin again.
Qin Lin looked at the Empress Dowager Han angrily.
Ji Xiaotang frowned.
"Queen Mother, you poisoned the first emperor, and Prince Su has calculated it with you. But our prince hasn't settled it with you yet. Instead of sneering at others and sowing discord, you might as well think about your fate. Ji Xiaotang said coldly to the Empress Dowager Han.
Empress Dowager Han closed her mouth. is obviously very jealous of Ji Xiaotang.
"Fourth brother, this slut, you won't let her go, right?" Qin Lin asked Qin Zhen, when the two brothers were talking, the atmosphere was very peaceful.
"Of course not." Qin Zhen immediately replied, "When my father died, I wasn't completely without doubts. Today can be really ~ phase white. And thanks to the third brother. β
"The poison you sent is also indispensable." Qin Lin said.
"It turns out that you have been secretly colluding for a long time!" Empress Dowager Han looked at Qin Zhen and then at Qin Lin. Apparently she understood what the two were talking about. "It's a pity that everyone still has their own hearts, and in the end, it's not your life or death!"
"Shut up!" Qin Zhen reprimanded Empress Dowager Han. Then he turned to Qin Lin. "Third brother, I have chosen a rich and quiet place for my third brother, although the third brother took the third sister-in-law and Yu'er to go, the third brother is still my Lord Su of Daqin."
"You're not going to kill me?" Qin Lin asked Qin Zhen.
"As long as the third brother doesn't force ~ me, I will ensure that the third brother's family will be happy and prosperous for generations." Qin Zhen said.
Qin Lin lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Empress Dowager Han laughed again: "Ridiculous, ridiculous!" Generations of peace and prosperity, but I'm afraid that your front foot is out of the capital. It's on the Yellow Springs Road! Haha, Zhen'er. You really look a little like me! Good, good! β
Qin Zhen also frowned, looking at Empress Dowager Han's gaze cold, without any temperature.
"Good!" Qin Lin raised his head, "However, I have one condition. β
"The third brother just said."
"I'm going to watch this slut die first."
"Okay." Qin Zhen didn't hesitate, "There is one thing I have to discuss with the third brother." This slut is a terrible sin, but if her crimes are revealed to the world, it will cause great confusion in people's hearts. There is a popular saying among the people that family ugliness should not be publicized. Our brother understands that it is better to kill her here and avenge his father. β
Qin Zhen discussed with Qin Lin and exempted Empress Dowager Han from the Ming canonical punishment. After that, for other reasons, he abolished the position of Queen Mother Han.
Naturally, it is impossible for the Empress Dowager Han to be buried with the first emperor.
"Just bury the concubines of the lowest grade in the palace. The mausoleum of the imperial concubine was moved back to its original position, and the title was added. "The mausoleum of the imperial concubine was originally set up on the side of his mausoleum by the first emperor, and after the death of the first emperor, the Empress Dowager Han found a reason to move the mausoleum of the imperial concubine far away.
This is also a piece of heart in Qin Lin's heart for many years, and now, he didn't ask for it, but Qin Zhen took the initiative to think of it for him.
Qin Lin also understood that the reason why Qin Zhen was unwilling to announce Empress Dowager Han's charges to the world should be another very important reason in addition to the reasons he said.
In any case, Empress Dowager Han and Concubine Gui are both daughters of the Han family. Qin Lin is doing this for himself, and at the same time, he is also taking care of the Han family.
And even if he didn't agree, Qin Zhen could do it according to his own wishes.
Qin Zhen is very tolerant to him.
"Okay." Qin Lin thought about it and nodded happily.
Seeing Qin Lin nodding, Qin Zhen immediately beckoned outward.
Wang Ruhai walked in, holding a tray in his hand with a delicate cloisonnΓ© enamel flask.
"Send the Empress Dowager on the road...... Qin Zhen ordered in a deep voice, this is to leave the whole body for the Empress Dowager Han.
"Zhen'er, you are so ruthless!" Empress Dowager Han looked at Qin Zhen with wide eyes, "Don't forget, I'm still your aunt." If it weren't for me, how would you have had the opportunity to come into this world? If it weren't for me, how could your mother have died properly, and how could you have lived until now and won the dignity of a prince. β
"Qin Lin is the son of that slut, he wants to kill me, but you shouldn't kill me!"
Qin Zhen was unmoved.
"Just because you killed the first emperor, it is not a pity to die a hundred times. Moreover, even if you are clever and reverse, who can really be fooled by you! β
Qin Zhen nodded to Wang Ruhai again.
Wang Ruhai stepped forward and poured a glass of wine from the small wine pot and presented it to the Empress Dowager Han.
"Please let the Queen Mother go on the road."
Empress Dowager Han still refused to take the wine glass.
"The Queen Mother should keep some dignity for herself." Wang Ruhai said with a cold face.
Empress Dowager Han's eyes turned slightly, and she fell on Ji Xiaotang's body.
"Dawn ......"
Ji Xiaotang had already pressed Xuan'er's head in his arms and covered Xuan'er's ears.
Wang Ruhai didn't wait for Empress Dowager Han to call out Ji Xiaotang's name, and had already given the little lieutenants on both sides a look. The little lieutenant held down the Empress Dowager Han. broke the mouth of the Empress Dowager Han.
Wang Ruhai poured all the glass of wine into the mouth of the Empress Dowager Han, watched her swallow it, and couldn't spit it out. Only then did he stand up and step aside.
The little lieutenant still pressed the Empress Dowager Han, afraid that she would hurt people when she died.
Empress Dowager Han's face slowly turned blue, her body began to spasm ~ convulsions ~ convulsions, and she slowly fell to the ground, but her eyes were still open, and she seemed to have a breath, but obviously she couldn't live.
Qin Lin laughed.
"Good. Good. Seeing the enemy die in front of him, Qin Lin finally fulfilled one of his wishes.
As for the other wish, it can no longer be realized.
Qin Lin's smile was very bleak.
"Fourth brother. I think that my talent and ability are not inferior to you, but I was born at the wrong time, and my life is not as good as yours......" Qin Lin said these two words, and his voice actually fell. He seemed unsteady on his feet. He stumbled for a moment, but blood slowly oozed from the corners of his mouth.
"Third brother!"
"Lord Su!"
Qin Lin unknowingly ingestically swallowed the poison.
Qin Zhen helped Qin Lin.
"Third brother, why are you doing this. Do you not believe me? "Maybe others won't tolerate Qin Lin, but Qin Zhen can tolerate this brother.
Speaking of which, the reason why Qi Younian has always stood on Qin Zhen's side, Ji Xiaotang is naturally the main reason, but if Qin Zhen does not have such a tolerant bearing, it will not be possible.
The reason why Qi Younian chose Qin Zhen was also because of Qin Zhen's bearing. Such a person becoming an emperor is the blessing of the people of the world.
Qin Lin couldn't stand anymore. He slowly fell into Qin Zhen's arms, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
ββ¦β¦ It's not that I don't believe it, it's ...... I can't live like this anymore. β
Qin Zhen will tolerate him, but he will not be unguarded against him.
Just like in the past few years, he has actually lived a life of captivity. Even if Qin Zhen treated him better than Empress Dowager Han, he was unwilling to live this kind of life anymore anyway.
Tonight's incident, he had already prepared for the worst, and if he didn't succeed, he would become a benevolent, so he would carry the poison with him, and just after seeing that the Empress Dowager Han was dead, he achieved his wish, so he secretly took the poison.
Qin Lin quickly closed his eyes in Qin Zhen's arms.
Crying rang out in the hall.
That's Zheng Gui and Qin Yu.
Since Qin Zhen came, Zheng Gui stood there quietly with Qin Yu except for trying to catch~ Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er at the beginning, and he didn't speak. At this time, seeing that Qin Lin was dead, both of them cried.
Zheng Gui took Qin Yu to Qin Lin's side and slowly knelt down.
"The prince is so ruthless...... Qin Lin had the intention of dying, but he didn't show it, and when he was dying, he didn't say a word to them, nor did he mention them to Qin Zhen.
Qin Lin seemed to have forgotten that there were these two people, and these two people were the closest people to him.
Of course, Qin Lin will not forget Zheng Gui and Qin Yu. He just wanted them to live, and that they would be better off without him.
But apparently Zheng Gui doesn't think so.
Zheng Gui and Qin Yu threw themselves beside Qin Lin and cried, Zheng Gui also took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe his tears, but gradually the handkerchief was dyed red.
Zheng Gui didn't shed tears, but blood, she could still sit on her knees, but Qin Yu fell silently.
Ji Xiaotang had already handed over Xuan'er to Wang Ruhai and Mama Cheng to take care of at this time, so he stepped forward at this time.
"Sister Gui, why are you doing this!" Whether it is Qin Zhen or her, they think that they can tolerate it, and they can also restrain a woman and a child.
Qin Lin is already dead, so there is no need for Zheng Gui and Qin Yu to cut themselves.
"I naturally want to follow the prince, I'm afraid that he will be lonely alone, and I'm afraid that someone will bully him." Zheng Gui raised his eyes and looked at Ji Xiaotang.
At this moment, Ji Xiaotang suddenly realized that Zheng Gui was deeply in love with Qin Lin.
However, how could she bear to let Qin Yu follow them like this at a young age.
Ji Xiaotang didn't ask what she said, but Zheng Gui seemed to see her thoughts.
"Naturally, we have to take Yu'er with us, I'm afraid that Yu'er will suffer. Xiaotang, at first, you may tolerate Yu'er, but slowly, as Yu'er grows bigger and bigger, you will become more and more uneasy. One day, one day, ......, rather than let Yu'er suffer in this world, she will inevitably die in the end. Why don't I take him away now. β
"We are a family together, and we can be companions on Huangquan Road......" Zheng Gui said, and slowly slipped to the ground.
Ji Xiaotang slowly stood up.
All of a sudden. No one in the main hall spoke.
"It's about to dawn......" In the end, it was Qi Younian who opened his mouth first.
The day is about to dawn, and everyone must act quickly to deal with the aftermath.
Before Qin Zhen could respond, an abrupt laugh rang out in the main hall. The laughter was low and hoarse, as if it came from the eighteen layers of hell.
This is indeed a sound from hell.
Because Qin Lin suddenly took poison, everyone didn't pay attention to Empress Dowager Han anymore. Thought she was dead. But obviously, Empress Dowager Han is not dead, she still has a breath.
Qin Zhen looked at Wang Ruhai.
"Lord Wang......" Wang Ruhai hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
Ji Xiaotang waved his hand. Let Wang Ruhai not worry. She believes that Wang Ruhai will not be what he has done, or that he will not do anything wrong.
"The Queen Mother pays great attention to her beauty, in addition to paying attention to her diet. I also used a lot of secret recipes for beauty. "Among those secret recipes. It contains trace amounts of poisons, which can rejuvenate the skin, but will not significantly affect the health of the body.
After eating it like this for a long time, Empress Dowager Han developed some resistance to poison. This is the main reason why she still has a breath of air.
In addition, she may not be holding on to this breath, wanting to see Qin Lin and Qin Zhen kill each other.
And when she laughed like this now, she felt happy when she saw Qin Lin's family die in front of her eyes.
"Queen Mother. If you live one more time, you will only suffer one more moment of sin. At this time, you can still laugh. β
"Ji Xiaotang, do you think you won?" Empress Dowager Han obviously returned to the light, and her face was like a ghost, "Don't be too happy, you all have to come to accompany me...... Stay with me ......"
Qin Zhen couldn't bear to listen to Empress Dowager Han's vicious words anymore, so he signaled to Wang Ruhai.
Wang Ruhai immediately stepped forward to give the Empress Dowager Han another ride.
"Qin Zhen, the dragon chair is not yours, if you sit on it, you will die!" Empress Dowager Han was hoarse, and purple and black blood kept coming out of her mouth.
Qin Zhen frowned, but Ji Xiaotang moved in his heart and stretched out his hand to stop Wang Ruhai.
"What do you mean, you still want to bewitch the public at this time!"
"Haha......" Empress Dowager Han's eyes gradually lost focus, but she still opened her bloody mouth, "I, I have long been ...... How could I ...... him...... You can't live ......"
After saying these words intermittently, Empress Dowager Han finally kicked her legs and lost her breath.
Ji Xiaotang's heart was a little messy.
"Lord Wang......" Ji Xiaotang looked at Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen's frowning eyebrows stretched.
"Xiaotang, don't believe her. She just wants us to be unhappy and suspicious. Let's not fall for her. β
"Okay." Ji Xiaotang felt that what Qin Zhen said was reasonable.
It was getting dawn outside, and they still had a lot of things to attend to.
Emperor Longqing has died in the night, and the Empress Dowager Han's original plan was to let Qi Younian take Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er into the palace, pretending to be Emperor Longqing's will, so that Xuan'er can succeed to the throne, so as to continue to control the government.
And Qin Lin's plan, in addition to announcing the crimes of the Empress Dowager Han, is also to ascend the throne as the emperor under the pretense of Emperor Longqing's will.
And now, it seems that Qin Zhen can only take this road.
"Your Majesty has a will to stay." Ji Xiaotang said firmly, "We only need to spread the news of His Majesty's death, wait for the hundred officials to enter the palace, and then take out His Majesty's will in public." β
"Princess Niangniang, are you sure?" Some of the palace's henchmen asked Ji Xiaotang.
If Ji Xiaotang's judgment is wrong, there is no will at that time, or there are other arrangements in the will, then the situation will be embarrassing for Qin Zhen, it is better to pretend to be a will now, let Qin Zhen ascend the throne as the emperor.
"I'm sure." Ji Xiaotang nodded.
"Listen to the princess." Qin Zhen made the final decision.
β¦β¦
On November 2, the twelfth year of Longqing, the mourning dragon bell rang nine times, the capital shook, and all the civil and military officials went to the Qianqing Palace in plain clothes.
Emperor Longqing died, the throne was vacant, and the two elders had to serve the instructions of the lieutenant officials of Emperor Longqing, and found the edict of Emperor Longqing from the back of the plaque in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.
The edict was written by Emperor Longqing himself, and was stamped with a jade seal.
The content of the edict was passed on to Qin Zhen, the prince of An.
Emperor Longqing also specifically mentioned Qin Xuan in the edict, and praised Qin Xuan and his birth~ Princess Ji Xiaotang of Mother An.
The two elders obeyed the edict of Emperor Longqing. immediately led hundreds of officials to embrace Qin Zhen to ascend the throne.
After Qin Zhen ascended the throne, he first mourned for Emperor Longqing, and corrected Shuo in the first month of the next year. The era name is Jianping, and it is known as Emperor Jianping in history. In the early years of Jianping, Qin Zhen established Ji Xiaotang as the queen, Qin Xuan as the crown prince, and rewarded hundreds of officials.
Qi Younian was changed from the Duke of Zhenguo to the Duke of Guo, and he still commanded the five battalions outside the capital, and no longer commanded the Imperial City Army.
The second master of Ji is the Marquis of Chengen. No further appointments.
Master Ji San was appointed as the head of the household department.
Zheng Mian, the former head of the household department, was dismissed from office and confiscated all his family property. The assets copied from Zheng Mian's house are counted in the cage. It can be worth the taxes of Emperor Longqing for five years!
All the assets confiscated from the Zheng family were collected from the state treasury, and materials for disaster relief were distributed, and the world celebrated.
Han Kerang became the first cabinet minister to enter the cabinet without serving in the Hanlin Academy since the founding of the Great Qin. Jianping Dynasty. There are two Han Ge elders in the cabinet. In private, everyone can only distinguish between the elder of the big Han Pavilion and the elder of the small Han pavilion.
Han Kerang has done something unprecedented, and after him, no one can enter the cabinet without entering Hanlin. When later generations talk about the ancients and the future, they often take this little Han Ge old as an example.
The reason why Xiao Han Ge Lao was later used as an example is also because of the many achievements he created for the Ge Lao. He has never been a Hanlin, and he even used to be a thief, because of the recommendation of Empress Ji. was unusually promoted by Emperor Jianping to become a cabinet minister, but he was in the cabinet during his time. The limelight overtook the other two more senior elders, who did their best for the country and the people.
After three years of Jianping, Daqin finally no longer had internal and external troubles, but was in ruins.
Spring and Jingming, Kunning Palace is even more harmonious.
Ji Xiaotang is checking Xuan'er's homework.
Five-year-old Xuan'er has begun to enlighten.
Ji Xiaotang listened to Xuan'er recite a piece of homework, not only was she very fluent, but she didn't make any mistakes, so she nodded lightly.
Xuan'er held her little hand behind her back, and when she saw Ji Xiaotang nodding, her face showed joy, and she didn't look like a little adult, but threw herself into Ji Xiaotang's arms with a smile.
"Mother~...... The queen mother ......, "Xuan'er is coquettish with Ji Xiaotang."
"Good Xuan'er......" Ji Xiaotang knocked left and right, there were no outsiders in the palace, except for Mama Cheng, Jin'er, and Xiu'er, who served closely, it was the second master Ji who sat on the side with Changsheng, Xiaozang and Xiaorong, and they all looked at it with a smile.
Now Changsheng, Xiaozang and Xiaorong have all read to Xuan'er.
Ji Er is even more light, except for teaching a few children, that is, serving flowers and plants, and life is simply smooth.
Seeing Ji Xiaotang laughing, Xuan'er's courage became bigger and bigger, so he complained to Ji Xiaotang, saying that he would have already known the homework taught by Mr.
"Read a book a hundred times, and you will see its meaning." Ji Xiaotang taught Xuan'er not to be careless or proud.
Xuan'er immediately respectfully agreed.
"Let's go play." Ji Xiaotang talked to Xuan'er again, and then asked Xuan'er to play with Changsheng, Xiaozang, and Xiaorong.
"Daddy, what is the matter with coming to the palace today?" After sending the children away, Ji Xiaotang asked Second Master Ji.
"There is something to discuss, I want to discuss it with Your Majesty and Niangniang." Second Master Ji stroked his beard, "If it's decided today, and Changsheng and Xuan'er have a good husband to teach, I can rest assured." β¦β¦ Your grandmother's bones are still in the hermitage outside the city......"
Second Master Ji wanted to help Mrs. Ji's coffin go back to Qingyuan for burial.
"I'll go back with you~ Mother, Changsheng will be left to you, Xiaozang and Xiaorong will take it with us, and when the two of them can play, I will send them back."
Ji Er's meaning is that after returning to Qingyuan, he will not come back.
"This has been my wish for many years. Moreover, our family is too prosperous now. I'll go back with you~ mother, and bring your uncle and them back, you here, and your uncle, it's better to perform. "Master Ji Er spoke earnestly.
"Daddy......" Ji Xiaotang was moved in his heart, but he didn't agree immediately, "This will have to wait for His Majesty to come back, and he nodded." β
"I understand." Second Master Ji said that he understood, and he was not in a hurry.
Qin Zhen ascended the throne for three years, Ji Xiaotang presided over the selection of a show girl in the palace, and now in addition to Qin Ying, Xuan'er and Qijin, a little princess under the age of one has been added to the palace.
The little princess's biological ~ mother's status is not high, and after giving birth to a child, she was named a concubine. As for Song Xinyue, who came from the Hidden Mansion, although she had nothing to do, she was named a virtuous concubine, and she was the highest position in the palace after Ji Xiaotang.
Qin Zhen still favors Ji Xiaotang, unless he is entangled in government and can only stay in the imperial study, the rest of the time, he will come to Kunning Palace to accompany Ji Xiaotang.
The Kunning Palace is often a happy scene of a family of three, which is almost no different from the original Anwang Mansion.
Therefore, if Second Master Ji wanted to see Qin Zhen, he came to Kunning Palace to wait.
Qin Zhen really went down to the court and came to Kunning Palace.
When Second Master Ji said about Fuling's return to his hometown, Qin Zhen hesitated slightly and nodded in agreement, and left Second Master Ji to eat.
Weng and his son-in-law sat at the same table, and Qin Zhen let people serve the best imperial wine, drinking with Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang.
"The rest of the fathers-in-law don't have to think about it so much...... Ahem......" Qin Zhen suddenly coughed.
Ji Xiaotang took out the handkerchief and wanted to wipe it for Qin Zhen, while laughing at him: "But today is free, I can drink a few more glasses, why ...... like this"
Before the word urgency could be spoken, Ji Xiaotang paused.
The wine that overflowed from Qin Zhen's mouth was red.
No, it's not wine, it's blood.
"Your Majesty......" Ji Xiaotang's hand trembled, and the handkerchief almost fell to the ground, and then she got up and shouted, "Pass on the imperial doctor......
Qin Zhen grabbed ~ Ji Xiaotang's hand.
"No need."
Ji Xiaotang looked at Qin Zhen puzzled, at this moment, she seemed to remember something, but she was unwilling to think about it carefully.
"Your Majesty, what are you hiding from me!"
"Xiaotang, I don't want to hide it from you. I just want to be able to accompany you more and not make you sad......" The last words left by Empress Dowager Han were not sensational.
This vicious woman, although she used the concubine to compete with the imperial concubine for favor, she didn't want the concubine to really give birth to an heir. Later, Qin Lin and Qin Zhen grew up, and she was not only afraid of Qin Lin, but also afraid of Qin Zhen.
Qin Lin was protected by the first emperor and did not have her poisonous hands, but she poisoned Qin Zhen's body.
The reason why Empress Dowager Han kept supporting Qin Zhen later was not because Qin Zhen was still her nephew, but because she knew that Qin Zhen would not live to be thirty-five years old.
Qin Zhen had always suspected this matter, but it was not until Empress Dowager Han said that he finally confirmed it.
Qin Zhen did not tell Ji Xiaotang about this, but only secretly sought medical advice and was diligent in political affairs.
"If I can only live so long, I hope to leave Xuan'er with a world as peaceful as possible, so that your mother and son can also be more relaxed." Qin Zhen told Ji Xiaotang with a smile.
And the reason why he came to Kunning Palace to accompany Ji Xiaotang from time to time was because he knew that he didn't have much life and wanted to accompany Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er more.
"Your Majesty......" Qin Zhen said calmly, but Ji Xiaotang burst into tears, "This world is actually a good medicine, and it will definitely be able to cure Your Majesty." β
Qin Zhen just laughed, he knew best that if the poison on his body vomited blood, the gods would not be able to save it.
"Xiaotang, I'm sorry for you. originally thought that he could accompany you for the rest of his life, go down with you, and grow old slowly...... but now, he wanted to leave Ji Xiaotang behind, leaving her with a young Xuan'er and the burden of the world.
β¦β¦
In the fifth year of Jianping, Emperor Qin Zhen of Jianping died of illness in Kunning Palace.
The crown prince Qin Xuan ascended the throne and changed the name of the year to Tianbao.
Emperor Tianbao was young, and Empress Dowager Ji listened to the government.
