Chapter 495: The Empress Dies
Li Yanran seemed to have broken free from all the shackles, she ran to the boy in green shirts with unprecedented ease, and in the misty smoke, she finally joined hands with the person she missed every day.
Li Yanran's hand hung down unexpectedly, her body became stiff at an extremely fast speed, and the temperature gradually disappeared, and the emperor seemed to be unable to accept Li Yanran's death, so he was in a hurry and fainted.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed, but there was no movement in the dormitory, and Lin Shen's ominous premonition in his heart was even stronger, and he tentatively shouted "Your Majesty" outside the door, but no one responded.
Lin Shen's heart was terrified, when he pushed the palace door open, he saw the emperor falling on Li Yanran's side, Lin Shen hurriedly stepped forward to probe the emperor's snort, and only after feeling the even and gentle breathing, he was relieved.
It's just that Li Yanran bled to death, but the corners of her mouth were filled with a relieved smile, Lin Shen seemed to realize something, bowed solemnly to Li Yanran, and then ordered someone to help the emperor back to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
In the ear room of the side hall, Songzhi also took poison at the same time and left with Li Yanran.
The emperor woke up from his nightmare dream and asked the first thing he asked, "Where is the imperial concubine now?" ”
Lin Shen didn't dare to hide anything, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, Weichen has already ordered the palace maid to tidy up the appearance of the imperial concubine, and her palace maid Songzhi has also committed suicide by taking poison. ”
When the emperor heard this, he seemed to have lost all his strength, and said weakly: "You have done a good job, go down first, I am tired." ”
Lin Shen said "yes", and then withdrew from the emperor's bedroom, and the news of Li Yanran's death spread throughout the harem and even the previous dynasty with lightning speed.
If the happiest person is, it is the queen, and even after hearing that Li Yanran committed suicide by taking poison, the queen's sick face was slightly flushed with excitement.
"Mama, did you hear that? Li Yanran is dead, she is finally dead! Hongu can rest assured! The queen held the back of Mama Liu's hand and said with a cruel smile: "She can't fight this palace, who said that this palace is a loser!" Hongu obviously won! Mama, don't you say? ”
The queen has always been worried about what Li Yanran said that she and Li Yanran are both losers, and Mama Liu said to the queen: "Yes, Niangniang, you can lie down and rest quickly, the big trouble has been removed, and now you have to take care of your body wholeheartedly." ”
"Okay." The queen did not refuse to take the medicine anymore, and the decoction that she felt bitter and unbearable on weekdays was a little sweeter at the moment.
Xu Li Yanran's death stimulated the emperor, and the emperor actually boycotted the court for three consecutive days, and the ministers seemed to understand the emperor's bad mood, and they did not play a role in advising the emperor at this juncture.
On the fourth day, the emperor had just gone to court, his sideburns were mixed with a few silver strands, and the corners of his eyes drooped deeply.
"The death of the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine is very sad, and now in the past, I don't care about it, I specially give the Imperial Concubine the gift of the queen to enter the imperial mausoleum and enjoy the supreme glory." The emperor's face was gloomy, and his eyes were even more gloomy, and when he said this, his tone was even more strangely paranoid.
"Your Majesty, old minister, ......" Before Mrs. Xu finished speaking, he was waved out of the Jinluan Palace by the emperor, and he did not save any face for Mrs. Xu.
"Mrs. Xu is old, and he will return to his hometown from today." The emperor made a final decision, but he did not give anyone room to refute, and the emperor's posture was an invisible warning, if anyone dared to say more about this matter, he would end up with the same fate as Mrs. Xu, and even worse than Mrs. Xu.
The ministers fell into a rare silence, and they all acquiesced in the absurd behavior of the emperor, or it was just an additional mourning for a dead man, which was not a big deal, and the so-called ethical guidelines could often be put aside for the time being.
Seeing this, the emperor snorted coldly, and then brushed his sleeves and left, but the queen, who was in the main palace, was tacitly ignored by everyone.
The queen was talking to Si Helin at that time, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles, "How has Lin'er learned her homework in recent days?" Mrs. Xu has ever praised you? ”
Si Helin heard the queen mention Mrs. Xu, and his expression was somewhat unnatural, "That...... Taifu is very good, he praised Erchen yesterday as a pillar of talent. ”
After all, Si Helin is young, his scheming and the city government are very immature, and he has nothing to hide in front of the queen, the queen noticed that Si Helin was lying, and said with a slightly gloomy face: "Lin'er, are you greedy for fun in recent days, and you haven't studied your homework with Taifu well?" ”
"Erchen didn't!" Facing the queen's stern questioning, Si Helin subconsciously retorted: "Mrs. Xu was dismissed and went home today, and the sons didn't know how to tell the queen mother, so they ......."
The queen's face was a little pale, but she was a little more puzzled in her heart, this Xu Taifu is an out-and-out royalist, and the emperor also knows it, why would he take off the black gauze hat on Xu Taifu's head for no reason?
The queen was puzzled, didn't think much about it, thinking that it was because Xu Taifu was old and the emperor wanted to promote another newcomer, at this time, a little palace maid suddenly broke in recklessly, and said to the queen in a panic: "Queen Mother, it's not good, something is wrong!" ”
"What's going on, it's so unseemly!" Displeasure and fierceness flashed between the queen's eyebrows, and the little palace maid immediately begged for mercy: "The slave and maid are guilty, it's just that the slave and maid heard that His Majesty threatened to bury the imperial concubine in the imperial mausoleum with the queen's rites when he was in the court this morning!" ”
"What did you say!" The queen's voice suddenly rose, "How is this possible? Li Yanran intended to kill the king, she was not crushed and scattered, it was already a great gift, how could there be such a mourning! ”
The little palace maid seemed to be cowering, but the tone of her voice was not panicked, but as if she had thought about it in advance: "Your Majesty said that the past is already a cloud of smoke, and he doesn't want to care anymore. ”
When the queen heard this, her breathing became rapid and intense, and her breath was even more held in her heart, "This is impossible!" Why! She was buried with the rites of the queen, so what about the main palace? What is Hongu! Yes! ”
At the end, the queen spurted blood from her mouth and splashed everywhere, "Li Yanran, you want to be beautiful, there is this palace, don't think about entering the Houling!" That's the location of the main shrine! ”
The queen's pupils widened suddenly, and her head tilted heavily to the side of the bed, and she was so lifeless.
"Queen Mother!" Mama Liu trembled and reached into the queen's nose, but there was no faint breath sprayed, and she said with tears: "Queen Mother, why did you go like this!" ”
