Chapter 26: After the Abolished
Emperor Wu of Liang immediately summoned Xue Taifu, Gao Dazai, Huang Shangshu, Guanglu Dafu, Shen Shilang and others to discuss the abolition of the queen.
In the main hall, Emperor Wu was ready to abolish the queen, and the ministers had different opinions.
Gao Dazai said: "Your Majesty, although the queen is now immoral, but after all, the queen gave birth to three princes for Your Majesty, and the deceased father and brother are all ministers of Your Majesty's humerus. ”
Shen Shilang, who has always supported the eldest prince Xiao Zhong, said: "The magic of witchcraft is not shallow to harm people, but the queen mother is the master of the harem but knowingly commits it, it is really unseemly, and the minister thinks that His Majesty should deal with it impartially." ”
Emperor Wu asked Xue Taifu again: "What does the Xue Qing family think?" ”
Mrs. Xue stepped forward and said: "The old minister thinks that the queen mother almost died when she killed Concubine Hu, although Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch and governs the country with benevolence, but this matter should also be done to Concubine Hu." ”
Emperor Wu of Liang heard this and felt that it was very reasonable, so he immediately decided to draw up an edict to abolish the empress's honorific title and demote her to an ordinary palace person, but she was still allowed to live in Jingren Palace, and she should be treated the same as ordinary palace maids.
In Chunning Palace, Concubine Hu Niangniang has improved a little, she can open her eyes slightly, and her hands and feet can also move, Xiao Zhong and the palace people were shocked when they saw it, and they were busy going to serve, Xiao Zhong said happily: "Mother, what does Mother want to eat and drink?" ”
Qingwen on the side also said to Yunzhu in surprise: "Niangniang is awake, go and inform Your Majesty." ”
So Yunzhu hurriedly ran out to the main hall to inform Emperor Wu.
Concubine Hu said softly: "What's wrong with me, I've been feeling tired before, so I'm drowsy, how long have I been asleep?" ”
Xiao Zhong replied: "Mother has been asleep for four days and three nights, but what do you want to eat?" ”
Concubine Hu said weakly: "I've slept for so long, I'm a little hungry, ask someone to cook me some white porridge!"
Qingwen hurriedly said: "The slave will go and cook porridge for the mother." ”
Xiao Mingyue hurriedly instructed on the side: "If you want glutinous rice porridge, you can get rid of evil diseases." ”
Qingwen replied, "Yes." ”
So, he took the little palace maid to the small kitchen to cook porridge.
Xiao Mingyue leaned closer to the bed and asked, "Auntie still feels a little unwell?" ”
Concubine Hu said: "Now I feel that my body is much lighter, not as heavy as before, as if I was locked in a big box, dark and stuffy." ”
Xiao Mingyue said with a smile: "In this way, my aunt will turn the corner." ”
Xiao Zhong looked at Xiao Mingyue and asked, "Didn't you say that you need the brocade tent of the queen's mother's bedroom to exorcise evil spirits, why hasn't my father brought it yet, and my mother has improved?" ”
Xiao Mingyue explained: "Maybe the evil people and the like know that we have to deal with them, so they are afraid!" ”
Xiao Zhong muttered again: "Could it be that there are really evil demons and monsters in this world?!"
Xiao Mingyue said: "Those things are terrible, but what is even more terrifying is the human heart. ”
While he was talking, Emperor Wu of Liang rushed over, and when he saw that Concubine Hu was improving, he stepped forward happily and said, "Concubine Ai, Concubine Ai is finally fine?" ”
Concubine Hu smiled and said to Emperor Wu: "The concubine has thanked Your Majesty for your care, the concubine has been sick for a few days, which has made Your Majesty worried, concubine, guilty!" With that, he got up and got out of bed to salute.
Emperor Wu hurriedly stopped Concubine Hu and said: "Concubine Ai doesn't have to be like this, she just needs to recuperate well these days, if she is guilty, the queen is indeed unforgivable!"
Concubine Hu asked, "The queen mother, she?" ”
Emperor Wu of Liang sighed, lowered his head and said, "Concubine Ai doesn't know, the reason why Concubine Ai is inexplicably sick is because the queen is using witchcraft. ”
Everyone was amazed.
Xiao Zhong said: "The queen is the mother of a country, how can she do such a thing?!"
Concubine Hu said: "Your Majesty, could it be that the queen is to blame?" ”
Emperor Wu of Liang said: "Concubine Ai is so kind, now she has been stolen, the evidence is conclusive, the wizard hidden in the queen's palace, the widow has ordered people to be killed, as for the queen, the widow has also ordered her honorific title to be abolished and demoted to an ordinary palace person." ”
After speaking, he took Concubine Hu's hand again and said: "Ai Concubine, for so many years, the widow knows that Youlanyin has been looking for trouble with you, and this time she almost killed you, the widow has already given her the punishment she deserves, and the widow will compensate your mother and son well in the future." ”
After hearing this, Concubine Hu said pleadingly: "Your Majesty, please give the queen another chance, I think the queen is confused for a while, and she is also bewitched." ”
Emperor Wu of Liang looked at Concubine Hu and said distressedly: "Concubine Ai, don't intercede anymore, the widow's holy decree has been issued." She almost killed you, and you still help her talk!"
Xiao Zhong also said: "Yes, mother, it is really unforgivable for the queen to do such a vicious thing. ”
Concubine Hu still wanted to say a few more words, but was stopped by Emperor Wu, and said: "Concubine Ai is good to be born and recuperate, and the widow will come to see you in the evening." ”
Then he got up and walked out, looked back at Xiao Mingyue and said, "Mingyue, this time, thanks to the method of exorcising evil spirits in the brocade tent you said, the widow discovered the queen's conspiracy, you are a great achievement!" ”
Xiao Mingyue hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the courtiers also overheard the old people in their hometown say this method, thinking that it may be useful." ”
Emperor Wu nodded and left.
Xiao Zhong looked at Concubine Hu and said, "Why does my mother still speak for the queen, is it possible that she still wants her to continue to harm others?" ”
Concubine Hu said: "It's all because of me that the queen did such a wrong thing." ”
Xiao Mingyue also stepped forward and said: "Aunt is not wrong, since ancient times, as a woman who has been an emperor, someone must be favored, and someone will be left out in the cold, my aunt is both wise and wise, and there is nothing wrong with being favored." ”
After that, Qingwen brought in the glutinous rice porridge, Xiao Mingyue took it, and said while feeding Concubine Hu: "Aunt don't think about anything, just take care of your illness, although Your Majesty abolished the queen's honorific title, but also considered face, and still left her to live in Jingren Palace, and did not harm her family, which is already the greatest forgiveness." ”
…………
After Concubine Hu finished eating the porridge, the palace maids scrubbed her body again, combed her hair in a bun, and dressed up a little.
In Jingren Palace, Emperor Wu decreed the abolition of the queen, and everything in Jingren Palace had to be moved, so the people of the eunuch palace moved out gold, silver and jade, screens, tables and chairs, as well as calligraphy, paintings, antiques and other valuables one after another.
Empress Youlan was now in the middle of the courtyard and laughed: "Your Majesty, I can't imagine that you and I have been married for nearly twenty years, but in exchange for this result. ”
In the blink of an eye, I thought about what happened to me. He also said: "Hu slut, sooner or later, one day, you will end up worse than me." ”
After saying that, she walked around like crazy, and the palace people no longer regarded her as a mother at this time, and they no longer avoided her.
Youlan Yin was tripped and fell to the ground, Qingtong saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to help, Queen Youlan said: "At this time, it is rare that you are still by the side of the palace, what about Chun Xian?" ”
Qingtong lowered her head and said, "Chunxian went to Yanqing Hall to help cut and make clothes." ”
You Lanyin sneered: "That's it, let her go, it's better than staying in this Jingren Palace, you can also go, while now, you can still find a good errand." With that, he took off the jade bracelet in his hand and handed it to Qingtong.
Qingtong saw it, and hurriedly excused himself: "Since the slave maid entered the palace, she has taken care of Niangniang, and the slave and maid will not leave Niangniang even if she dies." ”
You Lanyin couldn't help but cry when she heard this.
Xiao Jing rushed over when he heard the news, and when he saw his mother, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mother! Mother!"
You Lanyin hugged Xiao Jing and cried: "Emperor, now that your mother is in trouble, she can't pave the way for your future, you must fight more!" ”
Xiao Jing also cried and said, "Mother is so confused, why should you believe the words of that wizard?!"
You Lanyin said: "It's too late to say this, my mother wants you to remember that all the enemies in Chunning Palace are our enemies, and they are the ones who have harmed me like this, you must avenge your mother!" ”
Xiao Jing said: "Mother rest assured, when I become the emperor, I will not let them have a good life, and then let my mother be the queen mother in style." ”
You Lanyin said: "The good son of the queen mother, when your father and emperor are angry, you will find someone to speak to your mother, and if Your Majesty is soft-hearted, you will restore my position." ”
The mother and son were hugging each other, and Gonggong Feng brought someone over and said: "Your Majesty has a decree, everyone who has nothing to do with it should quickly evacuate Jingren Palace, and if you go out, you have another place to go, stay here, and there will be no better days!"
When they heard this, they all departed.
After that, he looked at Xiao Jing again and said, "Your Highness, please." ”
When Xiao Jing heard this, he could only reluctantly leave Jingren Palace and leave his mother.
He turned back and said, "Mother, take care of yourself." ”
You Lanyin also looked at Xiao Jing and said, "Jing'er, Jing'er, don't forget, what your mother told you." ”
After speaking, the door of Jingren Palace was locked tightly with a "bang".
Gonggong Feng instructed the guards guarding the guards, "Three meals a day, just starve to death, except for Your Majesty, no one is allowed to open the door." ”
After everyone left, only the wailing sound of Youlanyin in the palace gate was left.
