Chapter Ninety-Five: The Queen Mother Dies
The Queen Mother happened to be thirsty, so she took the water and drank it directly.
"I called you over this time because I wanted to tell you something."
Jiang Wan looked at the Queen Mother seriously and said, "The Queen Mother, you said that the concubines are listening carefully." ”
The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Wan kindly and said, "I don't mean anything else when I called you here." I just want to tell you about the recent establishment of the emperor, and the emperor has already told the mourning family that he wants to make you the queen, and the mourning family has agreed. ”
"Queen Mother, this is not what the concubine meant." Jiang Wan was afraid that the Queen Mother would think that this was what she meant.
"The mourning family knows, doesn't the mourning family understand you?"
"The mourning family called you this time to tell you how to be a queen, although you have been the emperor's queen before, but your temperament is too kind, such a person is not suitable to be a queen." The Queen Mother is also a person who has experienced the harem, so she naturally knows it better than ordinary people.
"The Queen Mother, you said."
"To be a queen is not only to be the emperor's wife, but also to manage the concubines in the harem, the concubines in the harem will be more right and wrong, you have to have more eyes for everything, although there is no harm to others, but you must have a heart to guard against people." The Queen Mother is sharing her experience with Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan nodded and said, "The concubine knows." ”
"Okay, good ......" The Queen Mother was about to say something when she suddenly collapsed and fainted all of a sudden.
Jiang Wan was frightened and hurriedly shouted: "Hire'er, hurry up and find the imperial doctor." ”
Ping'er came in and saw the Queen Mother's appearance, and she was also frightened, so she hurriedly ran outside to pass the imperial doctor.
ran all the way to the Tai Hospital, and directly pulled a Tai Doctor over.
"Imperial Doctor, you go with the slave maid, the Queen Mother has an accident."
"What, something happened to the Queen Mother?" The Imperial Doctor quickly pulled out his legs and ran away.
At the same time, Jiang Wan also sent someone to inform the emperor.
Lu Zhixing was going to the court, and suddenly received this news and couldn't even go to the court.
"I have something to do, retreat." Lu Zhixing left in a hurry.
The courtiers below had never seen Lu Zhixing's anxious look, and the following had already been discussed.
"What's going on, why is the emperor so anxious."
"I don't know, I don't think anything big has happened recently."
Some are well-informed, and if they have eyeliner in the harem, they already know that it was the Queen Mother who had an accident.
"I heard that something happened to the Queen Mother."
The ministers suddenly realized that it was the Queen Mother who had an accident, no wonder the emperor was so anxious.
Lu Zhixing trotted all the way to the queen mother's bedroom, and Lu Zhiye hurried into the palace after getting the news.
Jiang Wan had been waiting in the palace for the imperial doctor to come, and after the queen mother fainted, she began to vomit blood non-stop.
"Imperial Doctor, hurry up and come over to see the Queen Mother, what's going on?" Looking at the Queen Mother's appearance, Jiang Wan subconsciously felt that the Queen Mother seemed to be poisoned.
"Let Wechen come over." The imperial doctor hurriedly came over to check the pulse of the Queen Mother.
The imperial doctor took this pulse, frowned little by little, and quickly took out a medicine from his box and gave it to the Queen Mother, and after eating it, the Queen Mother stopped bleeding.
The imperial doctor hurriedly prescribed a prescription, handed it to the hired child on the side, and said, "Hurry up and take the medicine according to this prescription, and decoction the queen mother to take it." ”
After doing all this, the imperial doctor stopped, sighed deeply at Jiang Wan and said: "Concubine Hui, the queen mother is poisoned, and the poison is very difficult to accept, the queen mother is too old to last, and the medicine prescribed by Weichen just now is only for relief, whether she can save the queen mother can only be resigned to fate." ”
When Jiang Wan heard the imperial doctor say this, it was like bad news, and he said in disbelief: "Impossible, the Queen Mother, you must save the Queen Mother." ”
"Wechen has no choice." The Imperial Physician fell to his knees.
Jiang Wan looked at lying on the bed, without a trace of vitality, Jiang Wan felt that his heart hurt so much.
"The emperor has arrived."
As soon as the words fell, Lu Zhixing walked in and hurriedly came over to ask about the Queen Mother's situation.
"Queen Mother, what's the matter?"
"Back to the emperor, the Queen Mother is poisoned, and Weichen has already given the Queen Mother the antidote medicine, but whether the Queen Mother can survive or not is up to fate." After the imperial doctor said this, he shrank into a ball, and he didn't dare to look at the emperor's expression again.
Lu Zhixing's anger came up all of a sudden, and he roared angrily: "Who dares to murder the Queen Mother? "Someone in this palace dares to poison the Queen Mother, doesn't this take him as the emperor in his eyes?
At this time, Xiaoqian ran out and pointed at Jiang Wan and said: "At that time, the Queen Mother was poisoned after eating the pastries brought by Concubine Hui. ”
Jiang Wan realized at this time that he was the biggest suspect in the poisoning of the Queen Mother, and his eyes unconsciously matched Lu Zhixing.
Lu Zhixing's eyes were suspicious, but he never said anything.
"I'll talk about this matter after the Queen Mother is okay."
Lu Zhixing and Jiang Wan were waiting in the palace for the Queen Mother to wake up.
Jiang Wan explained to Lu Zhixing: "Your Majesty, this matter was not done by the concubine, and the concubine will not harm the queen mother." ”
"If I hadn't believed you, you'd have been put in prison by me."
Now Jiang Wan is temporarily relieved, as long as the emperor still believes in himself, so that he can find evidence to refute it.
Lu Zhixing's words reversed: "It's just that it's not enough for me to believe, you have to find evidence." ”
"Yes, the concubine will definitely find evidence."
The two stood in the room for a while, when suddenly a sound of joy came from inside.
"The Queen Mother has woken up."
Lu Zhixing and Jiang Wan hurriedly went in, and saw that the Queen Mother who was lying on the bed had woken up, although her face was very weak, she was already able to sit up.
The Queen Mother saw Lu Zhixing and Jiang Wan beckoning to the two of them and motioned for the two of them to come over.
"You all go down."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
After the minions all went down, the Queen Mother looked at Lu Zhixing and Jiang Wan kindly.
"The queen mother knows that the queen mother may not live long, all of you want to say something heart-wrenching at the end, Xing'er's poison this time is definitely not under Wan'er, this matter can be guaranteed by the mourning family, as for who wants the life of the mourning family, the mourning family doesn't know for a while, but these are no longer important, and the dying person is also good." The Queen Mother sighed deeply, her face full of exhaustion.
"Okay, the mourning family knows your temperament very well, it's too awkward, and it's easy to get hurt in emotional matters, and the Wan'er mourning family knows what you want, these mourning families also chased it when they were young, but it's impossible to be locked by this palace wall." The Queen Mother's eyes looked out from afar, as if she could see the world outside the palace wall, and when she thought of the handsome man, she left tears.
Jiang Wan lowered his head and said in a low voice, "The concubine understands what you mean." ”
"Understood, it's good, when the mourning family is gone, Xing'er will never be able to bully Wan'er, you promise the mourning family that no matter what Wan'er does, she must be spared." The Queen Mother looked at Lu Zhixing firmly and forced him to swear.
How could Lu Zhixing not fulfill his mother's last wish, and quickly nodded in agreement.
"Queen Mother, the sons agreed, the sons agreed."
"Just agree, and the mourning family can leave with peace of mind." The Queen Mother seemed to have finished explaining all the aftermath, lost all her strength and slowly closed her eyes.
Jiang Wan suddenly became in pain, looking at the beautiful and generous Queen Mother, thinking of the Queen Mother's bits and pieces to her, she couldn't help but feel that her heart was twisting.
Jiang Wan stood up and wanted to leave, but he fell to the ground all of a sudden, and saw Lu Zhixing's worried eyes before he fainted.
It has been a day and a night since Jiang Wan woke up again, and Ping'er was staying by Jiang Wan's side, and when she saw Jiang Wan waking up, she quickly said happily: "Niangniang, you have woken up, and the slave maid will go to Xuan Taiyi immediately." ”
Jiang Wan moved his mouth, but he didn't say a word.
After the imperial doctor took the pulse, Jiang Wan was already fine.
"Niangniang was just a little angry a little ago, but now it's fine, just use some fire-clearing medicinal food."
"Thank you, Imperial Doctor, slave maid to send you out." Hir'er handed the doctor a purse and sent the doctor out.
"Hire, water." Jiang Wan felt that her mouth was thirsty.
Ping'er hurriedly went to pour a glass of water for Jiang Wan, and Jiang Wan felt a lot more comfortable after drinking it.
"What happened to Hongu before?" Jiang Wan only remembered that he fainted in the queen mother's palace.
"Niangniang was so sad about the death of the Queen Mother that she fainted all of a sudden, and the emperor sent you back."
"Yes, then where is the emperor now?"
"Hui Niangniang, now the emperor is presiding over the funeral of the Queen Mother."
Jiang Wan hurriedly got out of bed and said, "Hurry up and dress up the palace." "The Queen Mother is so good to her, how can she not go to her funeral.
Ping'er also knew that she couldn't stop Jiang Wan, so she quickly dressed Jiang Wan up and went out.
The queen mother's funeral was held in the Fengxian Palace, the state funeral, no marriage leave within three years, no posterity, so when Jiang Wan appeared, everyone's eyes looked at Jiang Wan, after all, Jiang Wan was the most miserable person in this matter when the queen mother died.
But Jiang Wan didn't care about anything at all, and walked directly to Lu Zhixing's side and knelt down, kowtowed to the Queen Mother three times, and then moved to the side and wept silently.
Lu Zhixing did not blame Jiang Wan, and the two knelt side by side in sad mourning.
Seeing Jiang Wan and Lu Zhixing like this, Lin Yao was so jealous in the back that her fingers were cut off by her.
Lin Yao didn't want to keep filial piety to the old witch Queen Mother, so she used tricks to make her stomach ache.
Lin Yao covered her stomach and kept shouting in pain: "Your Majesty, the concubine's stomach hurts so much, save the child." ”
Lin Yao's incessant call was naturally heard by Lu Zhixing, and when he looked back, he saw Lin Yao lying on the ground with a pale face and covering his stomach.
hurriedly ran over and picked up Lin Yao, and said with concern: "What's wrong?" ”
"The concubine's stomach hurts a little, maybe something happened to the child in the belly." Lin Yao said bitterly.
"Someone will send the concubine back to the palace, and you can stay in the palace and rest well during this time." Lu Zhixing sent someone to send Jiang Wan back.
