Chapter 57: Inside the Great Hall

Feeling this, Liu Xie looked at the Empress Dowager Dong, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Sometimes I think that this Empress Dowager Dong is also a poor person.

originally gave birth to Liu Hong, and Emperor Huan had no children, so it can be said that Liu Hong was a successor.

The son born by himself has to call others the queen mother, which is not only a huge blow to Liu Hong and the Empress Dowager Dong.

But after all, his son has become the emperor, above all ten thousand people, and the Empress Dowager Dong, a mother, can only endure the pain of cutting her love.

finally looked forward to the death of the Empress Dowager Dou, and the Empress Dowager Dong was called the Empress Dowager by her son Liu Hongzun.

But this Empress Dowager Dong is a person with an extremely strong family concept, especially for her mother's family, which is simply an unrestrained doting.

There was even a period of time when the Empress Dowager Dong couldn't wait to make the Dong family from old to young, and even wanted to make the Dong family's pigs and dogs official.

When Empress Dowager Dong indulged in giving everything for the Dong family, she took it for granted.

But after all, the surname is Liu, although Liu Hong is the son of the Empress Dowager Dong, but his mother is so tossed, it is simply breaking the roots of the Han Dynasty.

In this way, the seeds of opposition between mother and child have been planted invisibly, and they are buried deeper and deeper.

Although on the surface it is still a harmonious scene of mother and son's filial piety, the estrangement in the heart has long been bottomless.

But even so, when I saw my son Liu Hong half-dead, I am afraid that the previous estrangement has already been left behind by the Empress Dowager Dong.

At this time, she was just a simple mother, visiting her seriously ill son.

"Did the Emperor really wake up today?" At this time, Empress Dowager Dong took the lead in breaking the silence and asked the palace maid serving next to her.

"Yes, Your Majesty has been awake for an hour." Hearing Empress Dowager Dong's inquiry, the palace maid who served did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly responded.

"That's that cheap... Uh, was the emperor awake when the queen came? Empress Dowager Dong then asked.

"This..."Hearing what Empress Dowager Dong said, the palace maid hesitated a little.

"Speak quickly!" Empress Dowager Dong suddenly raised her tone too highly, as if she roared out directly, which really startled the palace maid.

"Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die!" Seeing that Empress Dowager Dong was angry, the palace maids were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground.

"I let you tell me about the situation at that time, and I didn't let you kneel!" Seeing the palace maids who were kneeling down, Empress Dowager Dong was speechless for a while.

Empress Dowager Dong also knew that her tone had to be softened a little, otherwise this group of subordinates would always dare not speak.

"Yes." Hearing Empress Dowager Dong's order, the palace maids gradually stood up.

"Don't be afraid, you will support you, say, what was the situation at that time?" Empress Dowager Dong glanced outside the palace gate, and although her tone was gentle, there was a slight hint of urgency in it.

I saw a palace maid with a long camera hesitate for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to look forward to it: "Empress Dowager Qi, after Empress Fang came with the prince of debate, His Majesty fainted directly without saying a few words. ”

"Is that true?" Hearing what the palace maid said, Empress Dowager Dong's eyes lit up.

"Naturally, the slave didn't dare to say half a lie, but I was asked by the attendants to stand aside, and I didn't hear a word." The little palace maid hurriedly pretended to be frightened.

"Good, good!" Looking at the little palace maid, a smile appeared in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Dong.

After receiving the praise of the Empress Dowager Dong, the little palace maid was happy in her heart, looked at the other palace maids, and her pride was overflowing.

And Liu Xie saw the performance of the little palace maid, but he sighed quietly.

"Where is the jade seal of my father?" At this time, Liu Xie finally spoke, and at some time he needed to appropriately "mention" the Empress Dowager Dong.

Sure enough, after hearing Liu Xie's "inadvertent" inquiry, Empress Dowager Dong reacted to the reason for coming today.

I and others came to pass on the jade seal of the country, not for a few simple verbal promises.

Just like what the little palace maid said just now, Liu Hong should have not spoken a few words to Queen He, and there is a high probability that it is impossible to say a good thing about the succession with just a few words.

Even if Liu Hong really passed on the throne to Liu Wei, it was just a verbal promise, and in the end, he had to issue an edict to seal the jade seal of the country to the world, otherwise it would not be effective at all.

As long as they and others take the jade seal of the country in their own hands, then the rest of the things will be easy to say.

When Empress Dowager Dong thought of this, her eyes couldn't help but glow with excitement.

"That's right, where is the heirloom jade seal?" Empress Dowager Dong asked directly at the little palace maid.

The palace maid who was originally praised by the Empress Dowager Dong was still a little complacent, but at this time she was stunned by Liu Xie and Empress Dowager Dong's sudden questions.

"Passing on the country... Decree? The slave doesn't know! The little palace maid said with a confused and innocent face.

Seeing that what the little palace maid said didn't seem to be fake, Empress Dowager Dong showed a hint of disappointment on her face.

At this moment, the door of the palace was suddenly opened, and everyone looked at it, it was Queen He.

"It turns out that the jade seal of the country is not on your body." Empress He came in and said first.

"Are you eavesdropping on Yu and the others?" Hearing what Empress He said, Empress Dowager Dong didn't know what was going on, and immediately said angrily.

For the anger of the Empress Dowager Dong, Empress He didn't care, looking at the slightly nervous appearance of the Empress Dowager Dong, but Empress He said to herself: "Don't bother, the entire palace has been searched, and there is no figure of the jade seal of the country at all." ”

Hearing what Empress He said, Empress Dowager Dong was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that her thoughts had already been seen by Empress He.

In this case, Empress Dowager Dong also opened the skylight and said something bright: "Where is the jade seal of the country if it is not in the main hall?" ”

"How would Hongu know?" Hearing what Empress Dowager Dong said, Empress He didn't have a good temperament.

"There is no heirloom jade seal, what you just said outside the palace gate is a fart!" Empress Dowager Dong couldn't help but remind Empress He.

Hearing this, Queen He couldn't help laughing: "What if you don't?" As long as the jade seal of the country is not with you, the attendants in this hall can testify to the palace, and when the debater of the palace gets the throne, it is not too late to find it slowly. ”

After speaking, Empress He saw Empress Dowager Dong's unusually ugly face, like a rooster who had won a battle, laughed and walked outside.

"You... Don't! Hearing what Empress He said, seeing that Empress He was about to go out, Empress Dowager Dong couldn't help but be a little anxious and hurriedly chased after her.

When Empress He and Empress Dowager Dong gradually disappeared, only the palace maids remained.

I saw the regular attendant Guo Sheng enter the main hall, and when he looked around, all the palace maids unconsciously lowered their heads.

When Guo Sheng saw the palace maid who had just spoken to Empress Dowager Dong, a grim smile appeared on his face: "Come on, tear her mouth apart, and then pull out her tongue!" I'm going to show the others what happens to chewing on the root of the tongue! ”

"Don't, the slave is wrong, the slave is wrong........."
