A few palace ladies talked with great interest.

"Have you heard? Mrs. Yu committed suicide by hitting a wall at home and was rescued. ”

"Yes, I also heard that he said that he was sick and avoided the court, but he still couldn't change anything, so he simply committed suicide again."

"Alas, pity his old body and bones, and still toss like this."

……

When Yao Duran heard this, he felt deeply sad. The daughter of the dignified master now lives in the palace of the adulteress, and is humiliated by the palace guards every day, unable to survive or die. As a father, who can stand it?

Just like her, who watched her sister die tragically, but had no power to rescue her, who can empathize with the pain and resentment in her heart?

Thinking about it, the food in the bowl suddenly lost its taste, and lunch was simply passed away.

……

The long street in Beijing is cold and desolate, and there are few pedestrians. A magnificent carriage crossed the long street, leaving the mark of two rows of wheels on the snow.

Xiahou Bo sat in the carriage and went to Taifu's mansion.

Taifu's Mansion is in an eventful autumn, and it is gloomy. Xiahou Bo was led to the residence where Mrs. Yu was recuperating, and before he could enter, he heard a coughing sound coming from inside.

Xiahou Bo did not let the report, but waved his hand, dismissed the people on his side, and walked in alone.

The smell of Chinese medicine in the room is tangy, and the room is bitter. On the bed, a half-centenarian with a bandaged head and half leaning on a soft pillow, and the maid was feeding him medicine.

Xiahou Bo was taken aback. In just a few days, Mrs. Yu, who has always been magnificent, has become the appearance in front of him, not only the silver threads on his sideburns have increased sharply, but he is also weak, and he is so tired that he has to gasp a few times after drinking a few sips of medicine, which shows that his illness is not light.

"Your Majesty?" Mrs. Yu found Xiahou Bo, and his dark and godless eyes became a little brighter.

The maid also hurriedly turned around and saluted.

"You go down first." Xiahou Bo dismissed her, and when there was no one in the room, Xiahou Bo came to the bed and sat down, and said in a lamented voice: "Taifu...... I've come to see you, why are you so emaciated? I'm sorry for you......"

As he spoke, he raised his wide sleeves to hide his face.

The king hid his face and wept softly, and Mrs. Yu looked at it for a while, and the light burning in his eyes gradually faded. At this time, his crying can only mean that he is incompetent and that his beloved daughter is hopeless.

Mrs. Yu asked lightly: "Is Your Majesty really at the sad place?" ”

When Xiahou Bo heard him ask, he put down his sleeves, and his face flashed with embarrassment: "Taifu, I admit that it was my incompetence that harmed Concubine Yu, I can't stand you, I'm incompetent." ”

Mrs. Yu also raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and said lightly: "Your Majesty is not incompetent, but unwilling." ”

The monarch and the ministers looked at each other for a moment, and Xiahou Bo was speechless.

Mrs. Yu coughed a few times, and then said: "Your Majesty, don't complain that the old minister doesn't listen to what he says, that's the case, the old minister sees it too clearly." His Majesty did not deal with the queen because His Majesty knew that the power of the Du family was like a double-edged sword, although one end hurt himself, but the other end, he also hurt the enemies who coveted the throne. Shaking the rights of the Du family is equivalent to shaking His Majesty's throne. Therefore, His Majesty would rather suffer from the cowardly anger than covet the throne. ”

After hearing this, Xiahou Bo said seriously: "Taifu, it's not as simple as that. I can give up the throne and join the princes to crusade against the Du clan, but there is only one throne, even if Du Quan is overthrown, but there are more wolves and less meat, it is another battle between the princes and fratricide. ”

Mrs. Yu was unmoved, still calm: "Your Majesty, if the country is to be stable for a long time, it is bound to go through several bloodbaths, and the truth that long pain is not as good as short pain, even children of a few years old know it." Let's talk about the queen's domineering jealousy, Your Majesty has no children under her knees, in the near future, the Xiahou family's country will inevitably change its surname to Du, where should I go at that time? In order to crush the Du family, His Majesty threw out a throne for them to fight? At that time, no matter who among the princes fights for the throne, they will end the current situation, keep Xiahou Jiangshan, and change the way of the world. ”

"Taifu, I won't tell you, I'm just waiting for that day. Now although Du Yan has a self-respecting army, but he still looks at the queen's face and lets me sit on the throne, once I die in the future, there is no child under my knees to succeed to the throne, Du Yan will set himself up as the emperor, and then there will be no one to join forces, and the princes will inevitably rise up and attack it, at that time Du Thief was destroyed, and the country is still Xiahou's family, I am stable during my lifetime, I don't have to be a defeated king, and I can't see it after death. ”

"Hehehe-cough-cough-" Mrs. Yu laughed suddenly, coughing non-stop.

Xiahou Bo was completely unconfident in his laughter. Reached out and stroked his back a few times.

After Mrs. Yu calmed down, he gasped lightly: "It turns out that Your Majesty also has his own abacus, but His Majesty has turned the abacus around, and the old minister only sees the word selfishness." How many more years will the people have to suffer for this selfishness? Pity...... It's a pity ......."

Mrs. Yu slowly shook his head: "It's a pity that Your Majesty doesn't have the heart to think about the world and serve the country and the people." That's it, that's it, the old minister is talking nonsense in his illness today, if Your Majesty doesn't blame it, if you want to blame, the old minister naturally deserves to die. ”

After listening to this, Xiahou Bo patted the back of Taifu Yu's hand: "Taifu, what are you talking about?" How could I put you to death? I came here today just to visit, and Taifu was seriously ill and sleepy, so he didn't say anything to me. ”

The two looked at each other tacitly. After a moment of silence, Mrs. Yu took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the old minister has another request, I hope Your Majesty will fulfill it." ”

"Taifu, please speak."

Mrs. Yu suddenly burst into tears, he wiped his eyes indiscriminately, and said with difficulty: "Kill Concubine Yu, Your Majesty go to see her, take the opportunity to kill her." ”

"This ......" Xiahou Bo was surprised and embarrassed.

Mrs. Yu's expression was sad, but her words were very resolute: "Kill her!" The little girl was bullied, but she couldn't kill herself, since Your Majesty can't save her, let's help her get free. The daughter of my Yu family can live in the main hall of the golden house, or she can live in the bamboo fence hut, but she can't live in the palace of the adulteress! ”

When the words fell, Mrs. Yu was in tears, and the monarchs and ministers looked at each other, and they were all teary-eyed.

After a long time, Xiahou Bocai nodded with difficulty, and said ashamedly: "Okay, okay...... Taifu take good care of your illness, I'm gone, ...... gone."

……

Xiahou Bo's move out of the palace naturally couldn't escape the eyes and ears of the queen. As soon as he returned to the palace, the queen went to the Yilong Palace in person, and when she entered, she went straight to the point: "Your Majesty went to Taifu Yu's mansion today?" ”

Xiahou Bo took a sip of tea and nodded: "Well, Taifu is an important minister, and he was injured by hitting the wall during his illness, so I went to condole." ”

"Is it just that simple? Your Majesty shouldn't you want to unite with Taifu Yu to deal with the concubines, right? "Queen's Road.

Xiahou Bo put down the teacup: "The queen is too careful, no matter how you say it, you and I are husband and wife, how could I overturn your boat and let myself fall into the water?" ”

The queen snorted coldly: "Your Majesty understands it." It is precisely because of my Du family's strength and strength that the princes are so stable, and Your Majesty can continue to be this emperor. Moreover, if something happens to the concubine, the concubine's younger brother will definitely think that His Majesty did it, and if he does not follow it, His Majesty will never be able to please him, and he will fall off the throne at least and lose his life at worst, and His Majesty should know how to weigh the pros and cons. ”

"What the queen said I naturally understand, with the queen here, I am still the emperor, if the queen has any three strengths and two shortcomings, I want to have no soldiers and no soldiers, and the end is in danger. Okay, don't think too much about it, Queen, I'm tired. ”

After hearing this, the queen's tone softened a little: "Okay, Your Majesty, rest, the concubine will retire first." ”

Xiahou Bo watched her luxurious back disappear at the gate of the palace, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

……

The sun soon fell in the west, the sky was dim, the clouds were gone, only the deep palace, the lights and shadows were longing.

After dinner, Yao Duran went to the queen's palace to be on duty at night.

When bedtime came, she blew out the lamps and candles, closed the curtains, and the hibiscus tent beside the bed fell, and the sound that made her face red began.

Yao Dui said in her heart, the queen is really energetic, and she is romantic every night. That Xiao Yue will also coax people, and he will become more and more favored by the queen.

I kept watch all night, and finally looked forward to the dawn.

The close Ogong Eliuxia came to take over, and Yao Duran left the dormitory and went back to the courtyard.

When she opened the door and entered, she was suddenly stunned.

There was a delicate small incense burner in her room, and I don't know what kind of incense was burning in it, and it was curling out, and it was so fragrant that it smelled very good.

Who had come to her room again? The door was locked. After a while, Yao Duran figured it out again, although the door was locked, wasn't there still a window? In winter, there is a carbon fire in the house, and in order to dissipate the carbon gas, no one will lock the window tightly, and it is easy for someone to enter through the window.

Could it be Qiao Fengzhi?

This Fengyi Palace is the only one who will care for her, perhaps, he knows that the woman is happy, so he is meticulous enough to do this for her, right?

The doubts in my heart have not yet settled, I only heard the sound of "boom", and Yao Duran was so startled that she hurriedly went to look, only to see that Guiqing had already led several palace ladies to break through the door, and rushed in with great momentum.

"Sister Guiqing, what are you doing?" Yao Duran was shocked.

Gui Qing ignored her, stared at the small incense burner on the table, and ordered with a cold face: "You all smell carefully, is it Du Yu incense used in her room?" ”

Several palace ladies sniffed it and nodded one after another: "That's right, Sister Guiqing, this is Du Yuxiang." ”

Gui Qing snorted coldly and looked at Yao Duran, with evil and jealousy in his eyes: "Bold Yao Duran!" Dare to use Du Xiang! Tie her up in front of the queen mother immediately! ”

As soon as the words fell, several palace ladies pounced on her and grabbed her arms left and right.

"What are you doing? Sister Guiqing, what are you doing here? Yao Duran was full of confusion, and was soon dragged to the courtyard by them, attracting many onlookers in the courtyard.

Gui Qing glared at her hatefully, and said in a dark voice: "What are you doing?" Yao Duran, today is your death! ”

"Death?" As soon as Yao Duran heard the dead word, he knew that this matter was a big trouble. She forced herself to calm down in the chaos and began to think about what happened to her.

Just because Du Xiangxiang was found in her room, Guiqing wanted to tie her up and go to the queen, and said that her death was coming, so the problem must be this incense.

Du Xiang, Du Xiang ......

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in her mind!

Got it, she got it all!

The queen's name is Du Yu! And Du Yuxiang is clearly the name of the queen, especially the incense is used to burn, if anyone uses it, it is simply a taboo for the queen! When you get in front of the queen, your life is not guaranteed!
