Chapter 238: The Empress Dies
It's just that what Qi Heng didn't expect now is that the show has just begun.
Qi Wei accepted the blessing of Concubine Ming, accepted the praise of the emperor, and even accepted the blessing of the courtiers, and when the scene suddenly became happy, Qi Wei suddenly opened his mouth and said to the emperor.
"Father, when my son was in the Western Regions before, I unexpectedly met an old man, and I thought that my father had been thinking about it for many years, so I brought it back to you."
Qi Wei waved his hand, and the guard accompanied a person to walk up.
"What is this?"
There were a few young courtiers in the crowd who didn't know much about the general in front of them, and their eyes were full of suspicion.
However, there are also old people who know.
"The former general Mengtian, that is a smash hit."
……
"Wechen meets the emperor." Meng Tian looked at the emperor, but his eyes were more calm.
The emperor was furious, "Mengtian, do you still know to come back?" ”
At the beginning, he had poured so much trust into Meng Tian, but who would have thought that this young general would actually disappear with the princess of the Western Regions.
"Wechen knows his mistake." Meng Tian lowered his head, "After so many years, Weichen should have come back a long time ago to admit his mistake." ”
The emperor clutched the wine glass in his hand, his eyes full of anger.
Concubine Ming on the side hurriedly walked to the emperor's side, stretched out her hand and grabbed the emperor's palm, but the ministers below sat too far away and didn't hear the conversation on the emperor's side.
"Tell me what the reason is."
The emperor sighed, there were all his own courtiers below, and he still couldn't get too excited.
Meng Tian knelt down, with two points of excitement in his eyes, "Emperor Qiqi, this matter is related to the rebellion of Imperial Doctor Fei at the beginning, after so many years, Weichen has finally found the truth." ”
In the end, it was a person who practiced martial arts, and he was full of anger when he spoke, and Meng Tian also intended to let the people below hear it, so as soon as these words came out, the hall was full of uproar.
"General Meng, at the beginning, you were appointed as a general by the emperor in disregard of everyone, although you did not make any mistakes on the battlefield, but in the end you still disappointed the emperor."
Concubine Ming took over the words and spoke word by word.
The implication is that I hope that Meng Tian will open his mouth this time and not let the emperor have any more disappointments.
"Of course." Meng Tian swore to speak, with incomparable firmness in his eyes.
At the same time, the two people sitting below, Zhou Huan and Qi Yu, were also bowing their heads and whispering.
"Qingqing, I'm so dizzy." Qi Yu pointed to the empty wine glass in his hand.
Zhou Huan smiled, "It's okay, isn't this very sweet." ”
Zhou Huan also felt that his head was a little dizzy, but his sanity was the most important thing to clear. She looked at Qi Yu with a smile, how could she not have noticed that the drunk Qi Yu was so cute in the past.
Qi Yu worked hard to cooperate with Zhou Huan, in the past, he was actually very reluctant to talk to others more, after all, he could be "normal" without opening his mouth.
But in front of Zhou Huan, he felt that whatever he said was okay and would not be despised either.
"Qingqing, what do you say my father is talking about?" Qi Yu's puzzled gaze fell on the high platform.
Zhou Huan's gaze followed Qi Yu's opening, and sure enough, the emperor's eyes were a little heavier.
At the same time, Qi Wei, who was not far away, suddenly picked up the wine glass on his table and nodded at Zhou Huan.
The scene seems to have complicated a lot all of a sudden......
Just when Zhou Huan thought that something important would happen today, suddenly a eunuch ran in with a crawl, looking extremely panicked.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something is wrong."
The eunuch's face was anxious, and he didn't seem to notice such a grand banquet at all.
The emperor frowned and looked at the person who came, but Concubine Ming immediately said: "If there is something I don't know how to say, what are you doing in such a hurry." ”
She is the one in charge of the Sixth Palace, so this matter should naturally be solved by her immediately.
The eunuch had been taking a deep breath hard, and then he adjusted his breathing, "Your Majesty, the concubine, the queen...... The queen mother is dead. ”
After speaking, the eunuch immediately knelt on the ground and buried his head deep in the floor.
At the same time, the loud music and the sound of people talking in the hall instantly returned to silence.
The emperor held the wine glass he had just raised, he paused slightly, but in an instant, he re-grasped the glass and poured the wine into his mouth.
It's just that in the next second, the emperor fell directly in a trance.
"The Emperor's ......"
Concubine Ming was shocked, "Come on, go and ask the imperial doctor to come over." ”
……
The scene was panicked again, but this time it was no longer the banquet that everyone was worried about, but the queen who had just passed away and the emperor who fainted and did not wake up.
So, things seem to be a little bit more difficult. Everyone
Qi Yu was still waiting for Zhou Huan to pour the wine with his head down, as if he was aware of everything in front of him.
Zhou Huan sighed and pulled Qi Yu to stand up from the position of the two people, "Ah Yu, let's go to see off the queen for the last time." ”
Qi Yu sighed, for him, the queen mother, he seemed to have lost it very early.
"The Queen Mother?" Qi Yu shook his head and looked at Zhou Huan beside him with a dodgy gaze.
Zhou Huan didn't speak again, just silently pulled Qi Yu in the direction of Kunning Palace.
In the past, the death knell in the palace had sounded, and the death of the queen should be sad news for the whole country.
Kunning Palace.
The palace maids and eunuchs had changed into white clothes, and the door frames of the palace had been decorated with busy palace people, and everything seemed to be dyed with sadness.
Empress Jiang, a legendary woman all her life, was born in the rivers and lakes, and then accidentally met the prince, and finally successfully entered the harem and became the envy of everyone in Han Zhaoguo, but in the end she had to stop there.
Zhou Huan said to Qi Yu beside him, "Let's go over and kowtow to the queen mother." ”
Qi Yu looked sideways at the woman beside him, dressed in a long aqua blue dress, her beautiful eyes were slightly open, and there was a hint of sorrow in her eyes.
In my impression, Zhou Huan in front of him really thought about his mother.
Many years ago, when the mother concubine held his hand and couldn't say a thousand words, I am afraid it was so uncomfortable.
For a moment, Qi Yu suddenly felt that the softest part of his heart had been hit.
After so many years, he finally lost his mother.
He lowered his head and leaned over the cyan floor tiles, with a little sadness in his eyes, but when he looked up, he had already collected the emotion in his eyes.
Because of the sudden death of Queen Jiang, Zhou Huan and Qi Yu stayed in the palace directly, Qi Yu always seemed to be in a bad state, Zhou Huan was very worried, so he had been by his side for a long time.
At night, when Zhou Huan and Qi Yu were still kneeling in front of the mourning hall, the prince beside the emperor suddenly came over.
"Princess, Your Highness."
The prince politely saluted the two of them, and then sighed and said to Zhou Huan: "The emperor just woke up and wants to invite the princess over." ”
Zhou Huan immediately answered: "It's the reason for my father's body, right?" ”
The emperor called Zhou Huan over, and the people who heard the news had strange expressions, but Zhou Huan skillfully resolved the embarrassment as soon as he opened his mouth.
Zhou Huan nodded at the princess, and the princess and princess agreed, "Yes, please come over quickly." ”
"Leave the New Year and take care of Your Highness."
It just so happened that Zhou Yan, as the person who accompanied the emperor, had been busy in the palace for the past two days, so at this time, he immediately came forward to stand by Qi Yu's side.
"Father-in-law, please."
Zhou Huan politely turned around and left, but the prince hurriedly turned around and followed.
To Zhou Huan's surprise, when he was in such a hurry, the emperor didn't rest in his palace, but went back to the study.
In the upper study, Zhou Huan met Concubine Ming at the door who was just about to leave.
"Concubine Niangniang." Zhou Huan saluted to Concubine Ming.
Concubine Ming raised her hand, and the palace maid on the side quietly moved two steps to the side. "Fifth princess, the emperor's health is not good, what should not be said, do you understand?"
Zhou Huan nodded, "Erchen understands. ”
When he spoke, Zhou Huan kept his eyes hanging all the time, and he didn't have any emotions. But in fact, I was also thinking about more questions in my heart.
For example, Concubine Ming in front of her seems to be a strange person who can't be stranger.
"Okay, since that's the case, then don't let the emperor wait for a long time." Concubine Ming raised her fingers, her carmine-colored bright red nails gently brushing through her long inky hair.
I have to admit that even if Concubine Ming has a child, it still matters if she is young.
Zhou Huan watched Concubine Ming go away, while he lowered his head and looked at the prince beside him.
"Father-in-law, I don't know if the emperor's medicine prescription for the past two days will let me take a look?"
The prince was stunned for a moment, and then thought that when he invited Zhou Huan over just now, he was talking about treating the emperor.
Therefore, the prince hurriedly waved his hand and asked his little apprentice to bring something for Zhou Huan.
In the upper study, the room was burning with curling incense, and Zhou Huan moved his nose, it didn't seem to be the smell of ambergris.
"The son of the emperor greets his father." Zhou Huan bent down, but his eyes had already scanned the furnishings in the room early.
There is no big difference between this place and the last time I came by myself, the only difference is probably that there is a special table for medicine bowls not far away.
It seems that the emperor's condition is much more serious.
Finally, after a long time after Zhou Huan spoke, the emperor raised his finger, and then pursed his lips to look at the prince beside him. "Help me up."
The prince stepped forward and carefully helped the emperor to sit up.
"Girl, come and sit."
The emperor pointed to a stool not far from his bed, but Zhou Huan was still behind the screen at this moment.
