Chapter 292: The heart is like ashes

An Xiabai and Lu Li actually really have the heart to kill the emperor, after all, the prince was friendly with them during his lifetime, and Mo Simin was their long-known friend, as soon as the prince left, Mo Simin will definitely be sad in the future, this evil breath, they came up with it, but they can't come out.

The emperor is still the emperor, if you kill him in the palace now, you will only face more trouble in the future.

After weighing the pros and cons, they decided to let the emperor continue to live, but not as before, but under house arrest in their own palace, under the care of the empress.

The queen is the crown prince's biological mother, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, the grief and resentment in the queen's heart and the resentment towards the emperor must be a lot more than their friends, so Lu Li is more at ease than his own people to take care of the emperor, before that, he also specially told the queen to take care of the emperor carefully, and not to let him contact the outside world, and the queen also agreed.

Lu Li thought that this would be fine, so he turned his head to deal with all kinds of things in his hands.

What he never expected was that the empress's hatred for the emperor was so deep.

All the meals and decoctions that were sent to the emperor were personally seen by the empress, but she put poison in all of them, as if she was afraid of poison and immortalized the emperor, and even the incense lit in the palace was poisoned, and everything she did was for revenge, but the emperor mistakenly thought that the empress really had herself in her heart.

When everyone looked down on him, only the queen, as usual, not only served tea and poured water in person, but also talked to the emperor from time to time.

Even the emperor did not leave.

"I never thought I'd be where I am today." He sighed and held the queen's hand tightly, "In the past, when nothing happened, I always found you too annoying, and often argued with you over various things, but in the end, it was you who was with me, which is really ironic when I think about it." ”

Isn't it? In the past, when there was a chance to repair the relationship, the emperor chose to turn around, and now that they had reached the Jedi, he remembered his goodness.

The queen was also extremely ironic.

These days, she has always dreamed at night, either dreaming of what the prince looked like when he was alive, or dreaming of what he was like when he was a child.

Everything was completely destroyed by the emperor, and to this day, he still wants to treat him well?

What a pipe dream!

The queen was thinking about one thing, but actually doing it was another, only to see a gentle smile on the corner of her lips, and her slender white hand scooped up a mouthful of decoction in the bowl.

"Your Majesty, now that your health is not good, it is time to take good care of yourself, so you should stop talking and drink the decoction."

The Emperor sighed heavily and pushed the potion to his lips.

"It's all like this, how can I still be in the mood to recuperate? Now that I am trapped in the palace, Li Wenfeng has also been dismissed and investigated, and Lu Li is the only one in the court, every time I think of this, I feel angry in my heart! "If he had known that things would develop into the current situation, he would not have said that Lu Li would have survived on the first day of entering Beijing, how good it would be if time could be repeated!

The emperor gritted his teeth, his eyes full of hatred.

What he didn't notice was that there was also deep hatred in the queen's eyes, and that hatred was not for Lu Li.

"By the way, Queen, can you enter and leave the harem freely now?"

As if a drowning hand saw a life-saving straw, the emperor suddenly remembered a person: "The officials in the court and the central government don't know that I am under house arrest by Lu Li, so they will not take action, if you release the news and let them know my current situation, they will definitely not sit idly by, if they can do something to Lu Li, maybe I can leave this cage, and then I will be alone in the world!" ”

It's good that he doesn't say the word "world", as soon as he says these two words, the queen can't help but think of her hard-working child.

Originally, the crown prince never coveted the throne, let alone took away his power while the emperor was still alive, it was the emperor himself who thought too much, and it was his suspicion that killed her child!

There were thousands of waves rolling up in her heart, and the queen was annoyed in her heart, but the expression on her face was as usual.

"The concubines understand what the emperor meant, and they have secretly notified the ministers outside in the past two days, presumably they all know the news, and they will act soon."

The Emperor's eyes shone as if he had seen hope.

"The only person in the world who is willing to think about me is really only the queen, queen, don't worry, if I can successfully escape this cage, I will definitely not treat you badly."

The empress smiled and agreed, and then smiled and fed the decoction to the emperor's mouth, and she did not leave the palace until the people had rested.

As soon as she walked out of the palace gate, her face changed.

"I said that I would inform the ministers of the DPRK and China, but I didn't make it clear which minister was not?"

The queen smiled coldly, turned her head and ordered her maid: "Go and invite General Lu." ”

Since the palace went on fire, the situation in the court has fallen into turmoil, and the ministers have not changed on the surface, but in fact they are like mirrors in their hearts, especially after Li Wenfeng handed over the resignation to the emperor, this atmosphere has become more and more obvious, and almost everyone in the hundred officials is in danger, for fear that they will become the next object to be erased by Lu Li.

That's right, the person in power in the DPRK and China now is Lu Li.

After risking his life to fight the fire, Lu Li became an important minister of the imperial court, and on the surface, it was the emperor who was grateful to him for fighting the fire, but in fact, the ministers understood that the emperor was under house arrest by Lu Li, but it was useless to understand, after all, most of them were civilian officials, and they were not good at leading troops to fight, let alone leading troops to take down Lu Li, and now the only person they can rely on is Li Wenfeng, so after Li Wenfeng resigned, many officials went to his home to persuade him, but Li Wenfeng refused.

When An Xiabai came, Li Wenfeng happened to see off an official, and when he saw her in a blink of an eye, the expression on his face became much more relaxed.

The title "father's ....." is still not very pleasant for her, but fortunately Li Wenfeng can understand it.

"Well, sit down first."

Hearing that An Xiabai came to the house, the happiest person was Mrs. Li, she smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into a slit, and she was reluctant to let go of An Xiabai's hand.

Qin An Xia Bai didn't dare to withdraw his hand, only half-frowned and said with a slight apology: "I only found out today that my father and grandmother plan to leave the capital, so I came today to ask if this is true, do my father and grandmother really plan to go back to their hometown to live?" ”

The old lady and Li Wenfeng looked at each other and smiled, their expressions were gentle.

"Wouldn't it be nice for us to leave the capital?" The old lady patted the back of An Xiabai's hand with a kind expression, "I have served the country for most of my life, and it is time to go back to recuperate." ”

"Yes, I've long heard that it's better to have an idle life of raising flowers and birds, so I happened to go back and try it." Li Wenfeng also agreed.

An Xiabai's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

Having said that, what exactly did Li Wenfeng and the old lady care about in their hearts, she was like a mirror in her heart, nothing more than she didn't want to get involved in this court dispute and make it difficult for Lu Li and her. Now the military generals who can be used in the DPRK are only Li Wenfeng and Lu Li, and the others are all military generals who have not made any military exploits, if Li Wenfeng is gone, his power will definitely belong to Lu Li, and when the time comes to deal with those things in the palace, it will be easier.

Li Wenfeng must be playing with this idea.

An Xiabai shook her head with tears, raised her face and asked, "Can't my father and grandmother not leave?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the smiles on the faces of Li Wenfeng and the old lady froze for a moment, as if they didn't expect An Xiabai to ask this question, and they both showed cramped expressions on their faces.

"If we stay in the capital, we will only cause trouble for you."

"How so?" She furrowed her brows, and carefully analyzed the situation with the two elders in front of her, "Now that the situation in the DPRK and China is unstable, the hundred officials don't believe that the emperor is seriously ill, or the news is spread, they all know that the emperor is under house arrest by the general, at this time, father, if you leave the capital, the general will really be alone, not to mention, not to mention that I also have selfish intentions." ”

An Xiabai said, lowering his face.

Her appearance made the old lady and Li Wenfeng invariably show puzzled expressions.

"Good boy, if you have something to say, don't scruple."

An Xiabai nodded, and said in a voice: "I finally found my relatives, if my father and grandmother both leave the capital, I don't know when we will meet again, I am reluctant to let my father and grandmother leave." ”

Her words really spoke to the hearts of Li Wenfeng and the old lady.

An Xiabai is not a blood relative that they finally found back, if it weren't too helpless, they wouldn't want to leave.

The two sides were silent for a moment, the old lady gritted her teeth, and said in her heart: "Lu Li is young after all, and I don't know how to deal with many things, I think we should stay for a while, and wait until the two of them have dealt with the chaos in the capital, and it is not too late to leave the capital after everything is straightened out." ”

Li Wenfeng also has this meaning.

Just when the three generations of their ancestors and grandchildren gathered together to talk, someone suddenly came to report in a hurry, saying that they had something important to tell An Xiabai.

"None of these outsiders here, you just have to say what you have to say."

The palace man who reported the news was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Mrs. Lu, the crown princess committed suicide by taking poison. ”

It was as if thunder suddenly exploded in his mind, and An Xiabai was stunned.

Later, how did he say goodbye to Li Wenfeng and the old lady, and how he stumbled into the carriage, An Xiabai himself didn't remember it very clearly, but when he got out of the carriage, he saw Lu Li standing in front of the palace gate, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

An Xiabai didn't hold back her tears, and threw herself into Lu Li's arms and cried loudly.

"How can this be, when I went to see Simin today, she was fine, how can you say that she is gone?"

Lu Li also felt sorry, but he could understand Mo Simin's feelings.

If there is no Xiaodong Xiaoxue, if An Xiabai leaves him for some reason, he will be like ashes, maybe he will follow after arranging the future, right? In this case, it would be a torture for her to continue to live.

"Madam, don't be too sad, this is the path that Simin chose by herself, maybe she has reunited with the prince under Jiuquan at this time, so she should be happy for her."
