Chapter 762: Killing Mother and Brother
The scorching temperature of the chicken soup and the increasingly strong feeling of suffocation are all called the Empress Dowager Chen, whose head is immersed in the big soup bowl.
His hands kept struggling and grasping on the dining table, and in an instant, countless disks, dishes and chopsticks were overturned to the ground, making a lot of movement.
At this moment, the maid who was waiting outside the dormitory was alarmed, and immediately there was no anxiety, so she raised her voice to inquire about the dormitory, and pushed the door to come in.
Xiangping, who was full of horror on her face, but was still pulling the Empress Dowager Chen's bun and pressing the other party into the chicken soup, she naturally couldn't call people in and see the scene of her killing her biological mother now.
Therefore, Xiangping saw the maid outside, and couldn't stop asking inside, and the door of the palace was also pushed open a gap, and people were about to come in, she couldn't help but shout angrily and hurriedly stopped:
"Presumptuous, if any of you dare to come in, the queen mother will have someone's head. There was nothing big in the palace, but the princess told some things about the royal brother, and the queen mother was angry for a while and lifted the dishes and chopsticks on the table. Now what is said in the hall is a confidential matter, and whoever is not afraid of death wants to hear a thing or two, then come in. It's just that you dropped something, and you can't clean it up in a while, look at your fuss. ”
Xiangping used angry reprimand to hide the panic in his voice well.
As for the people of Yanqing Palace who were serving outside, as soon as they heard this, no one dared to come in.
A gap has been opened, and the door of the palace that can save Empress Dowager Chen's life as long as it is pushed open is silently closed again.
And after this delay, now looking at Empress Chen at the dining table, the dignified Queen Mother of the Great Zhou has already stopped struggling, and her hair bun and temples are stained with chicken soup oil stains in the porcelain bowl, and she has obviously lost her breath.
Speaking of which, Empress Dowager Chen can now be described as the real lord of the harem, the real power controller who overrides the imperial power and listens to the government.
And she is so desolate now, it can even be said that she is extremely aggrieved and immersed in the soup bowl, which seems incredible, but in fact it is not without reason.
In the final analysis, Empress Dowager Chen's death can be said to be self-inflicted and overindulgent, and these eight words alone can well interpret her life.
Because of the connivance of Xiangping, the other party can always give orders on behalf of Empress Dowager Chen in Yanqing Palace, and even in the entire palace.
This also led to Xiangping's words, which had too much deterrent effect on the maids and maids.
So just now, there was a noise in the dormitory, and the people outside clearly noticed the abnormality.
But because Xiangping has been making decisions on behalf of Empress Dowager Chen for a long time, no one dares to disobey, so the door of the palace that was supposed to be opened was closed again.
If Empress Dowager Chen can be a little bit more respectful, and she does not listen to partiality and belief, she has been at the mercy of Xiangping and Ji Lingfeng for several years.
Then she will definitely not end up in the point where she only saw through the truth today and was killed by her own daughter.
No one knows what Empress Chen felt in her heart at the moment before she was drowned alive.
But one thing is certain, if God also gives her a chance to be reborn like Xiao Jinxuan.
Maybe Empress Chen will distinguish between right and wrong, let alone have soft ears, and feed the medicine of the tiger and wolf to Zhou Xianrui.
will not be separated from Zhou Xianyu, the adopted son, and it is even more impossible for the youngest son Zhou Xianchen to be bound by the throne and live a hard life.
Originally, Empress Dowager Chen had many sons on her knees, and she was a rich and noble life.
But when she forgot the mother-son relationship and became hostile with all her sons, in fact, her bleak ending was already doomed.
As for Xiangping, she was actually scared a lot, after all, she was her biological mother, in fact, if the other party's words were too intense, she would have to announce that Zhou Xianyu and Xiao Jinxuan would enter the palace to confront each other.
As a result, Xiangping was forced to have no way out, and she never thought of taking the life of Empress Dowager Chen.
Four years ago, with a bowl of poison, Xiangping killed his own brother with his own hands, and blamed Xiao Jinxuan for the incident, so that the other party was displaced and almost died, and until now he has not been able to show his true identity in Da Zhou.
But the obsession in Xiangping's heart at that time, she felt that she was avenging her beloved Brother Mo, so instead of having any sense of guilt, she felt that this hand was extremely beautiful.
Even though many years have passed, every time I think of Zhou Xianrui before he died, I was surprised and angry when I looked at her.
There is also the embarrassment of Xiao Jinxuan fleeing overnight, Xiangping will be smug, and feel that this is a brilliant thing she has done in her life that is worth remembering.
But when Xiangping's hand was released from Empress Dowager Chen's bun, and on the side of the soup bowl, he could clearly see that the biological mother was dying with her eyes wide open.
Even though Xiangping has killed countless people in the past few years, she was still so frightened that her hands and feet became weak, and she fell directly to the ground.
In the end, it is her biological mother, and Empress Dowager Chen has always loved Xiangping the most, and Mo Linzhi's affairs back then had nothing to do with the other party.
So in this case, Xiangping was still very frightened and uneasy in his heart, so he saw her sitting on the ground, staring at the body of the Empress Dowager Chen, shaking her head vigorously and saying:
"Queen Mother, don't blame Xiang'er, you forced me, why do you have to find Seventh Brother and Xiao Jinxuan's slut to enter the palace. The imperial brother was indeed poisoned by me back then, but this is all his Zhou Xianrui deserves to die. If it weren't for the elder brother who took the Yama Tears, Brother Mo would not have died, and there was nothing wrong with my daughter doing this, but why do you have to find out to the end. Queen Mother, you are forcing your daughter to die, I just want to survive, so I made a move on you. But I really didn't want to kill you, I just wanted to tell you to shut up and don't let people enter the palace. ”
The dispute between Empress Dowager Chen and Xiangping just now happened suddenly and very intensely, and now Xiangping, whose madness is becoming more and more serious.
In the matter of drowning his biological mother, it was indeed not planned for a long time, but he was panicked and excited.
But when Empress Dowager Chen died, Xiangping would also calm down, and knew that the matter was too big, and it was no longer something she could come back to.
Standing up from the ground tremblingly, Xiangping panicked in the dormitory, walking back and forth.
After she held her head and calmed down completely for a long time, Xiangping took a few deep breaths, and then raised his voice to the outside world as much as he could:
"Listen to the inner servants outside, the queen mother has ordered the governor of Suxuan Ji to come to see you, don't delay, hurry up and invite someone here."
Xiangping was in a state of confusion just now, and after gradually calming down, although she still didn't think of a way to deal with the current situation, she suddenly thought of Ji Lingfeng.
For so many years, even with the matter of the wife and concubine of the other garden, Ji Lingfeng made Xiangping feel cold.
But the two of them have long been grasshoppers on a rope, even if the affection is not there.
But no one can do without each other, something will happen, Xiangping didn't dare to let anyone know, but he only believed that Ji Lingfeng would not betray her.
didn't call Xiangping for long, just when she didn't dare to look directly at Empress Dowager Chen's face because of guilt, and was hiding far away, suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Weichen Ji Lingfeng, I was ordered to come to meet the Queen Mother, I don't know if my subordinates can come in now."
As soon as he heard Ji Lingfeng's voice, he had already been frightened into the six gods, and he forced Xiangping, who was calm, and tears immediately flowed again.
Then she ran to the door of the dormitory in person, then carefully opened the main door, and then pulled Ji Lingfeng in, and quickly closed the door again.
Xiang Ping's strange appearance made Ji Lingfeng quite surprised, and when he was about to ask, he didn't want the other party to tremble and threw himself directly into his arms.
"Ling Feng, no matter what conflicts you and I have had before, but this time you must help Princess Ben through the current predicament. I killed the queen mother, what do you say? I'm still so young and don't want to die, it's because she must thoroughly investigate the poisoning of the imperial brother, and I was forced to kill in a hurry, but I really didn't think that I really wanted the life of the queen mother. ”
People are often like this, one wrong step, sometimes in order to cover up, they will go more and more wrong, and finally to the current Xiangping, too deep to turn back.
Although Xiang Ping's words were very flustered, Ji Lingfeng was a thoughtful person, and he immediately understood what was going on in this dormitory.
Then Ji Lingfeng couldn't care about Xiangping, pushed the crying other party aside, and he walked towards the inner hall.
Immediately, Empress Dowager Chen was already stiff, and she still kept her face drowned in the soup bowl, and she appeared in front of him.
Ji Lingfeng, who also knew that the situation was serious, was shocked beyond measure, and he took a few steps back in a row in astonishment, before he looked at Xiangping and asked in disbelief:
"Xiang'er, this is really something you did, Empress Dowager Chen is your biological mother, didn't I call you over today to persuade the other party to support Zhou Yi to ascend the throne and become emperor. Even if the other party doesn't agree, or wants to thoroughly investigate what happened to Zhou Xianrui back then, but now that nothing has come out, why did you kill someone. Do you know that killing the queen mother of a country is a capital crime, and there are so many maids outside Yanqing Palace, there is no way to hide this matter. ”
Hearing Ji Lingfeng's words, Xiangping's emotions became even more excited, although she didn't dare to shout loudly, she still lowered her voice with an anxious face and said:
"If it's easy to handle, I won't ask you Ji Lingfeng to enter the palace to help. Now that the queen mother is dead, you want to compete with Seventh Brother and Xiao Jinxuan in the court situation, and I Xiangping is your last reliance. As long as I, the eldest princess of the royal family, are here, those who are attached to the Queen Mother's party will not be chaotic, and I will fully cooperate with you and assist Zhou Yi to ascend the throne and become emperor. And I promise you, if that doll becomes the emperor, I will also let you control the power of the court. And in the future, when you marry a wife and have children, this princess will not ask, so that you can continue the incense for the Ji family. I have already said this, if you still think of the relationship with me for many years, you must help me cover up today's events. Otherwise, if something happens to this princess, you won't be happy. ”
The so-called love for many years has never been in Ji Lingfeng's heart, he now hates Xiangping for killing his heir, if he really thinks in his heart, he really wants the other party to die immediately.
But at the same time, Ji Lingfeng also knew very well that what Xiangping said was not wrong, as soon as Empress Dowager Chen died, he would have lost a backer.
If Xiangping's murder of his mother and brother was exposed, he would have no support, let alone compete with Xiao Jinxuan.
