Tang Yonghui at the end of September of the fifth year.

The first autumn rain fell silently.

Changan.

Tai Chi Palace.

Tucked into the secluded court, in the cold palace.

Wang De stood under the porch with the dust in his arms, looking at the raindrops falling along the tile, and was silent for a long time.

After a while, he turned back to look at Ryan who was standing behind him:

"How's it going?"

"At most half an hour, he will not live.

Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always wanted to see her, do you want to? ”

Wang De turned his head and shook his head indifferently:

"Not necessarily.

The result he wanted, he already had. ”

"But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he ......"

"Even His Highness thought, then we should also see if it really should.

If others don't know, don't you know?

Your Highness's status, once there is any bad news, how much chaos will it cause? ”

Ryan said:

"Isn't it good? This is the case, not to mention the fact that there is His Royal Highness the Acting King......"

"These words are just said in front of me, and it is better to say less of them when you see others in the future."

Wang De turned his head and looked at this apprentice with a slightly cold gaze:

"You should know...... When you two brothers ascended to the throne, I already knew what you were thinking. ”

Ryan's eyes froze, and he said for a while:

"Master knows?"

"Got it."

Wang De turned his head, shook his head and said:

"Remember one thing, not what you think is good for the Lord, but what is really good for the Lord.

That's all I have to say, and I'll do it for myself in the future. ”

Ryan said:

"But His Royal Highness the Acting King is talented, can't the master see it?"

"What if you see it? In the end, the young and the old are orderly. At the end of the day, these things shouldn't be our business. ”

Wang De said lightly.

Ryan shut.

After a while, Wang Decai sighed:

"The master didn't mean to embarrass you, but this matter......

Well, in the future, you should worry less about these things. ”

Ryan was silent, and finally had to claim yes.

……

A moment later.

Prince East Palace.

Inside the main hall of the city.

Li Zhong looked at his attendant and said softly:

"You said that the prince said that there is nothing to do in the cold palace?"

"Yes."

"Have you checked it?"

"Back to Your Highness, I have already confirmed it. The Imperial Physician Qin, who was secretly summoned, said that he would definitely not survive.

At most, it will last another hour before it will end. ”

"Then why didn't the prince send the funeral news?"

"Your Highness, what a big deal the queen's violent death, if it is not for His Majesty's will, I am afraid that it will not be able to happen indiscriminately. According to the small opinion, I am afraid that the prince has other thoughts. ”

"What else could he have in mind?"

The waiter looked left and right, and then stepped forward and said lightly:

"Your Royal Highness, don't forget, the queen also suffered from the princess during her lifetime, I'm afraid he is also worried that he will show something when he finally enters the mausoleum!"

Li Zhong looked back at him, and nodded lightly for a while:

"This palace knows, and if you don't see it, you won't see it. It's just that you have to keep an eye on your father's movements next, understand? ”

"Yes."

Li Zhong watched him rush out, looked up at the sky, and his eyes were slightly wet:

Mother, it's going to be soon, it's going to be soon......

Wait a minute...... It's going to be fast, it's really going to be fast......

An hour later.

Tang, Linyou.

Wannian Palace.

The Great Treasure Hall, the Inner Sanctum.

Because Li Zhi occasionally felt the wind and cold today, he retired early, only stayed in the apse, sat with Mei Niang's mother and son, and talked casually while looking at a few pages.

When De'an hurried in, Li Zhi's expression was quite surprised:

"Why is it so pale, what is the ......?"

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Dean hurriedly come forward, salute first, and then whisper a few words in his ear.

Li Zhi suddenly raised his head, glanced at him, and then turned his head again, his eyes a little scattered.

"Lord, the master has already made arrangements, just waiting for your news!"

“…… I'm afraid it's not easy to survive in this kind of weather.

And keep it a secret first, just wait until next month to return to the palace, understand? ”

"Yes. It's just that although it is now autumn, the weather is not cold, and if it is to be stored well, I am afraid that it will be stored in the old cold cellar built by the inner division to house those tribute wines. ”

"Just settle it! I'll fill it in later.

Left and right ......"

Li Zhi closed his mouth, looked at the roof of the Great Treasure Hall again, and then said softly:

"Left and right this Taiji Palace, I also think it's too old."

Dean should claim that it is, and then adds:

"Then the lord, one on this side is not good, and the other one on the other side is afraid that it will not be better for a few days. Once you have the results......"

"Place them together, and wait for the child in Mei Niang's womb to land."

"Yes!"

Looking at the figure of De'an rushing out, Li Zhi just sat in place in a daze, looking at the heavy rain outside the hall that was already wet with the hanging yarn.

A warm, familiar hand gently covered his.

He turned his head and looked at Mei Niang's face.

"Jiro should go and have a look, right?"

"I've been to see it."

“…… And what about that one? I don't think I've seen ...... before."

“……”

Li Zhi was silent, and only after a long time did he say lightly:

"What is the point of saying goodbye or not seeing it?

Say goodbye. ”

"But you ...... After all, husband and wife. ”

"The word husband and wife, I will only use it with you in this life. And...... What can you say when you see her? And what is there to say?

When she was selected to enter the palace, it was mine that harmed her life.

Now that he has come to this step, why should he harm her even more, so that she dies but her heart can't die?

Say goodbye! ”

After Li Zhi finished speaking, his expression became firm, and he turned around and said no more.

Mei Niang had to be silent.

……

Tang Yonghui was the first day of October in the fifth year.

With the footsteps of the horse team that took the lead ten days ago and prepared to return to the palace, Li Zhi himself, after all, returned to the Taiji Palace with his beloved wife, Zhaoyi Wu.

And the first thing he did after returning to the palace was to pass on the inner chamberlain Wang De, who should explain the inside story of Concubine Xiao's case, and then immediately issued an order:

Xiao's sin is unforgivable, wearing a robe that strips Luan, picks up a gold crown, and takes away Luan's drive, and is immediately demoted to a maid, and enters the long street, never to be seen again.

……

When De'an, who came to read the holy decree with it, walked into the cold hall, he was stunned, but he didn't react too much, just according to the number of rites, please pay respects, and only after the order was announced, the holy decree was announced.

After Xuan, he looked at Xiao Yuyin, who was lying on the couch as if he was asleep, and said lightly without looking back:

"The holy decree has been announced, concubine...... No, Xiao has already taken over the order, so we should reply. ”

"Yes."

The few little attendants behind him did not raise their heads, and followed De'an out gently, leaving only the delicate woman who was dressed in purple and gold with a black blood mark flowing from the corner of her mouth, and gradually lay on the couch coldly.

It's night.

Changan.

The eldest grandson of the house.

The eldest grandson Wuji listened to Ah Luo's return, and he was also stunned for a while.

After a long while, he said lightly:

"Do you know where they are located?"

"Back to the master, as far as Arrow could see, the queen had gone yesterday, so she had been in a hurry last night in an old cold cellar in the inner division.

Concubine Shu didn't have it today, although there has been no movement so far, but I think most of them will be moved to one place, and only after Wu Meiniang will not give birth to a child, she will move out and be resettled.

I just don't know why the Lord has to arrange it this way? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji lowered his eyes and said lightly:

"Why?

Isn't it for Wu Meiniang? ”

Ah Luo was stunned, but said:

"For Wu Meiniang?

If it was for her, shouldn't it be publicized?

After all, if the people of the world know that the queen is dead, and the concubine has committed suicide in fear of crime, wouldn't it be logical for the Wu family to ascend the throne? ”

"That's true...... But the problem is that the queen died a little early......"

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and sighed:

"This king and queen, whether before or after her death, is not liked by the Lord.

Don't say that the lord is not Wu Meiniang, I am afraid that it is to be able to vent his anger for the first emperor who was forced to accept her as his daughter-in-law, and the lord also wants her to return to his clan and end up in the end.

But if the news of her death comes out now, Ah Luo, you say, after he rides the crane in the future, will she have to enter the tomb and be buried with the lord?

But how can you ask the Lord to endure such a woman who he hated so much in his life, and be buried with him? ”

Aro suddenly:

"yes......

Only after she was abolished, she was demoted to a civilian, and then the news that she was dead was released......

Naturally, she would be buried among her people......"

At this point, Ah Luo couldn't help but feel compassion:

"Isn't it too ......much for the Lord to do this?"

The eldest grandson Wuji snorted lightly:

"What's not to do?

It's just a poisonous woman who does everything and does everything against the Lord...... Such an ending, in fact, really cheapened her. ”

Aromeran.

After a while, the eldest grandson Wuji said again:

"It's just that in this way, Wu Meiniang is too proud......"

After thinking about it, he turned his head to look at Arrow:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Yong, what is the movement?"

"Not at the moment. His Royal Highness is just accustomed to political affairs every day, and King Yong is also generally troublesome, but after all, it is the Lord who returns to the palace, and he is also uncharacteristically staying in his palace today, and he has not taken half a step. ”

"Alas...... After all, I still took pity on these two children and lost the care of my mother.

But in terms of it, it can't be blamed on the Lord for being so heavy-handed.

After all, what the two of them did was too disobedient......"

When the eldest grandson Wuji was about to finish his words, Ah Luo said lightly:

"Does the master think this is the Lord's doing?"

"Not the Lord, but who else? Wu Meiniang?

Then you guessed wrong, it can't be her. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said categorically:

"It was for the sake of the child in her womb that she would not be willing to do these things again.

Moreover, it was not her pleasure that these two men would die like this.

According to her intentions, she has to expose everything that these two people have done, and completely ruin the reputation of the two of them. ”

Arrow blinked again:

"That'...... Except for Wu Meiniang, no one else hates them, do you want them to die? Why does Ah Luo think that the death of the queen this time has a lot of inside information? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji raised his eyes to look at him, and couldn't help frowning lightly:

"Didn't you also go to check, a few days ago, the lord secretly went to the cold palace to see the queen, and gave her a bottle of poison?"

"But is that bottle of poison really the poison of the queen? Master, Arrow still can't figure it out.

If it was really the Lord's will to give her the will to live and die, why didn't she die at that time, but she had to delay it for a few days? ”

Arrow Light Road:

"It's impossible for Wu Meiniang, but the people in this palace who hate the queen to the bone, I'm afraid there are more than one or two? Is it possible that someone else did it?

Master, Ah Luo thought that the cause of the queen's death would inevitably be investigated in the future, and the master should first take care of the matter for the lord, so as not to let the sect leader fall into the hands of others in the future. ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he nodded thoughtfully:

"But you are right...... It's just that...... Who could it be? Hate her so much...... People ......"

Suddenly, the eyes of both masters and servants lit up, and they both looked at each other with a hint of disbelief and shock.

After a while, Eldest Sun Wuji's expression became solemn:

"You go check it out. If it was him...... Instant payback! ”

"Yes!"
