Chapter Twenty-Three: The Slaughter of the Palace

"Du Yu! Die! Go to hell! After you die, you will go through the eighteen layers of hell, cut out your heart and tongue, disembowel, and knife mountain oil pot, you can taste them one by one! ”

In the queen's terrified gaze, Yao Duran pulled up the quilt and covered it tightly on the queen's head, and then held it down!

"Die! Poisonous woman! You give my sister's life back! You give my sister's life back! ”

"Do you know that my sister and I depend on each other for our lives and endure those hard days together! Do you know how much she hurts me! I was bitten by a poisonous snake, and it was my sister who helped me suck out the poisonous blood, but she herself almost died! ”

"Poisonous woman! The day you cooked her, she was terrified, but she never looked at me! Do you know why that's that? Because she's afraid! She was afraid that as long as she looked at me, I would be tempted to intercede for her, and thus be cooked by you just like her! So she didn't dare to look at her sister when she was dying! ”

"Poisonous woman! Die! Go to hell! ”

At this moment, Yao Duran, like a crazy demon. The heavy feelings suppressed in her heart all erupted, burned all reason, and then all turned into power, so that she covered the poisonous woman in the quilt and let her legs struggle wildly.

At first, her struggle was extremely violent, but as Yao Duran continued to exert herself hard, gradually, her movements slowed down weakly. Time is like a moment, passing bit by bit in life and death, and finally, everything is finally calm. The person on the bed seemed to have become a pool of stagnant water, and he didn't move for a long time.

Yao Duran let go of her hand lightly, and lifted the quilt without fear, revealing the queen's lifeless face.

Her expression was hideous, painful, and eerie. His mouth and nose were bleeding, and his eyes were wide open, staring blankly at the void world.

The queen is dead! The poisonous woman is dead! Finally dead!

She didn't blink her eyes to death, which shows that she is unwilling. Yuan's eyes stared at one place for a long time, as if she was persistently asking, how could she be so noble, how could she end up like this?

Yao Duran withdrew his gaze and stopped looking, and he didn't care about panting, so he hurriedly faked the scene, made the bed, and soothed the queen's eyes......

After finishing all this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, her legs were weak, and she slowly sat down on the ground.

"Huh...... Hehe......" She stared at the queen's remains, laughed stupidly, and said something in her mouth: "I have revenge...... I've finally got my revenge...... Sister, did you see that? I have killed the poisonous woman to avenge you...... Sister, rest in peace, I have avenged you...... Hehehe......"

For the first time, hot tears fell happily.

……

After a while, footsteps were heard in the hall. Yao Dui's heart was Qiao Fengzhi, except for him, no one dared to enter the hall without permission.

Yao Duran looked back, and sure enough, it was Qiao Fengzhi. It's just that there is a woman with a tall belly standing beside him, the woman looks like she is over ten, she is bright and square, and she is holding a five-year-old child in her hand. The child Yao Duran had seen it, it was Du Yan's eldest son Du Ningsheng, so the woman in front of him must be Du Yan's wife Xie Yuanzhi.

When Yao Duran saw them coming in, he hurriedly climbed a few steps closer, knelt on the ground and cried: "Manager Qiao, Mrs. Du, Fang Cai, Fang Cai, Queen Niang Feng has died!" The slave and maid were only sad, and they didn't have time to go out and announce it. ”

"What?" Xie Yuanzhi was startled, and immediately looked at the bed.

Qiao Fengzhi was also surprised, but did not speak, but strode to the bed, stretched out his hand to probe the queen's nose, and then said with a complicated expression: "Niangniang Fengjia really collapsed." ”

"Oh my God!" Xie Yuanzhi screamed in shock, then threw herself in front of the bed and knelt down and cried: "Queen Mother! Empress! Why did you go all of a sudden? It was so sudden! You still cared about us in the morning, saying that it was a time of war and unstable in Beijing, so Qiao Fengzhi asked Qiao Fengzhi to take the concubine and Sheng'er into the palace, and now that the concubine is here, why did you go, the concubine can't even see your last face. ”

"Woo-aunt...... Hurry up and play with Sheng'er...... Aunt...... Sheng'er is no longer naughty, Sheng'er must listen to her aunt's words...... "The little man also lay on the side of the bed and cried into tears.

Yao Duran also hurriedly cried: "Niangniang, Niangniang, just go whatever you say." ”

Xie Yuanzhi heard her cry, and immediately looked sideways at her, with undisguised suspicion in his eyes, and asked, "What's the matter?" Why did the mother go suddenly? Also, why are you the only one in this temple? Where are the other palace ladies? ”

Yao Du dyed pear blossoms and rained, pretending to be sad and said: "Mrs. Hui, my mother is already seriously ill, and these days I am worried about the war, and I am depressed every day. Fang Cai Niangniang said that her chest was tight and she couldn't breathe, so the slave and maid sent back the palace to circulate air. But after a moment of effort, the mother was short of breath and panting, and she vomited blood, and the slave maid didn't even have time to pass on the doctor, and the maid said to go, and the slave was frightened, kneeling on the ground and couldn't remember anything except crying. ”

Xie Yuanzhi listened, stared at her like a torch, and said coldly: "Even if what you said is reasonable, but the death of the queen mother is a big deal, but you were the only one present at the time, and there were no other witnesses, so you really can't explain this matter with your words!" ”

After finishing speaking, she looked at Qiao Fengzhi, who was standing quietly on the side, and ordered: "Qiao Fengzhi, take down this palace immediately, and torture it well!" If she has not changed her mind after all kinds of punishments, it will be credible. Mrs. Ben knows that this palace lady is your person, but if you don't act impartially and cover up for personal gain, you won't be able to escape from this matter! Also, immediately send someone outside the city to inform General Du! ”

Qiao Fengzhi was calm and calm from beginning to end, and advised with good words: "Madam think twice, there can't be any action in this matter, and it should be kept secret." The general is fighting the enemy outside the city, and if he learns that his mother has died at this time, he will definitely be distracted by bad things. Besides, there is still a Majesty in the palace, who knows what Your Majesty will do when the news of Niangniang's death spreads. ”

Xie Yuanzhi thought about it for a while, and felt that it was reasonable, so she was silent.

Qiao Fengzhi said again: "Madame's Day, let's mourn." Niangniang has ordered our family to take you and the prince into the palace to protect, now although the mother is gone, but the safety of you and the son is still the top priority, our family has ordered someone to rectify the side hall out, you and the son of the palace to rest. As for Niangniang's body, let's put it first. ”

Xie Yuanzhi wiped her tears and said, "When will this be counted?" Now that it's a hot day in May, how many days can the body be placed? ”

"This lady doesn't need to worry, our family will ask the Internal Affairs Office to send a large number of ice sculptures and sit around the bed."

"Either way, no matter what. I only hope that the general can retreat from the enemy as soon as possible and return to the palace to preside over the overall situation. Xie Yuanzhi said, while holding her lower back, struggling to stand up, Yao Duran saw her belly poop, and immediately reached out to help, but Xie Yuanzhi showed disgust, shook off her hand, and said unceremoniously: "Get out!" Don't get Mrs. Ben's hands dirty! Don't think that this matter is over, after the general returns to the palace, the imperial doctor will conduct an autopsy, if it is found out that this matter is related to you, then you will be peeled off a layer of skin! ”

"The slave is wronged." Yao Duran retracted his hand and lowered his head.

Xie Yuanzhi snorted coldly, pulled up Du Ningsheng and walked out.

But at this moment, there was a lot of movement outside the hall, as if there were many people coming, and the footsteps were rolling, and I didn't know what was happening outside.

"Go out and have a look." Qiao Fengzhi said this, and several people walked out of the hall together.

After coming out, what I saw was a large area of black palace guards, who were crowded and gathered under the steps outside the hall.

And the one who is the leader is Deng He.

More and more palace people also heard the movement here, and gathered one after another.

"Deng He? Why are you in the palace too? Xie Yuanzhi asked unexpectedly.

Deng He saluted and said: "Madam, the general ordered the villain to stay in Fengyi Palace, and the general said that once the queen died, he would ask the villain to convey the general's order, gather the palace guards, and kill all the palace people in Fengyi Palace to accompany the queen to bury, including Qiao Fengzhi!" ”

"Huh?"

"What? Do you want us to be buried with us? ”

"How so?"

As soon as the palace people heard that the time of death had come, they immediately let out a frightened sound, and everyone's faces faded with blood.

Yao Duran was also shocked in her heart. In order to maintain the reputation of the queen, Du Yan actually wanted to slaughter Fengyi Palace! It seems that Du Yan had already murderous intentions the day he knew about the queen's condition. Thinking about it again at this time, it was really an afterthought, and dared Mo Duyan to ask her if she was willing to abandon Qiao Fengzhi, it turned out to be the last way he gave her to live. It's just that for her, she would rather die than marry into the Du family.

When her heart was flying, her hand was warm, Qiao Fengzhi had already held her hand in public, and pinched it softly a few times, and Yao Duran suddenly felt inexplicably at ease. I only heard Qiao Fengzhi snort coldly at Deng He, and asked, "Deng He, then you are in such a battle, do you think that the queen mother has died?" ”

Deng He Zhenzhen said: "There was a lot of crying in the palace, the queen mother is not collapsed!" ”

Qiao Fengzhi: "Hun said! The queen mother is very decent, Mrs. Du came to visit today, and when she saw that the mother was sick and haggard, she had to cry a few times. ”

Deng He looked at Xie Yuanzhi again and asked, "Madam, are you okay with the queen?" ”

At this time, Xie Yuanzhi was in a state of confusion, had no idea, and couldn't say anything when he thought clearly about which side to stand on for a while.

Who knew that at this time, Du Ningsheng, who had been quiet, suddenly cried: "Woo-aunt is dead, she ignores Sheng'er when she talks to her, woo-"

When the words fell, a sound of surprise erupted again.

At this moment, Deng He had a bottom in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Guards! Listen to the general's order immediately and slaughter the palace! Including Qiao Fengzhi! ”

However, the guards did not move, and someone asked, "Deng He, you solemnly summoned us just to ask us to kill Chief Qiao and the people of Fengyi Palace?" ”

"Yes, this is exactly what the general ordered! I didn't tell you in advance, because I was afraid that the news would leak and startle the snake. What are you still doing in a daze? Don't kill yet? Deng He said.

"Our family is here, who dares to act rashly?" Qiao Fengzhi was still calm, and his starry eyes swept around like frost.

At this moment, Yao Duran actually saw the majesty and domineering that only Venerable had in him, and there was no need to speak angrily, but he only revealed the deterrent power in a calm manner.
