Chapter 495: The Queen Mother Dies
The old princess calmed down, sat down on the chair, and said leisurely: "It's the first queen, your father's favorite woman, after she married His Majesty, he was depressed for a few years, and then he had no choice but to marry me, and then the first queen and the first prince were given death successively, and then he was depressed, saying that he was looking for immortals to visit friends, but he was just escaping this sad place!" ”
"It turns out that there is such a thing, you have never told us about it, concubine!" Qiwen looked at her mother with pity.
"It's not a happy event, what is there to say!" The old princess looked at the old Jin King with red eyes, "Your beloved woman was forced to death by His Majesty, you don't even have the courage to avenge her, what kind of man are you, and what kind of self-blame and self-proclaimed foolishness!" ”
"Shut up!" was poked in the heart, and the old Jin King couldn't help but be angry, this pair of fairy wind bones was dyed with a bit of worldly taste, "The past is over, what else do you want to mention it!" ”
"It's over, is it okay in your heart?" The old princess asked, "Otherwise, why don't you take care of your two children all these years and don't return to the capital?" I'm going to ask you one thing today, do you care about it? If you really don't care, I will cut off the relationship between husband and wife with you today, and the two children will also cut off the father-son relationship with you. ”
"Mother Concubine's anger!" Zhao Qian hurriedly comforted his mother, and it was really sad to be able to make Sulai Sven's mother say such cruel words.
"Say no more!" The old Jin King stroked his beard, "I'll help you!" ”
Zhao Qian had a touch of joy on his face, and hurriedly took two steps forward to stand in front of his father and said, "Thank you father, with my father's help, we have another chance of winning!" I know that although my father has traveled abroad over the years, he has made a lot of friends in Beijing, and with his father mediating in it, there will definitely be many more people in the same camp! ”
The old Jin King was silent for a moment and said, "Since it is about Zhao Ling, the prince of the world, has the King of Chu ever known about this matter?" ”
"Not yet!" Zhao Qian said, "The situation of the King of Chu ...... Being watched by His Majesty, we should not rush to him to discuss this matter in detail! ”
"Leave this to me and tell him!" The old king of Jin said, "You guys don't care! ”
"Yes, thank you, Father!" Zhao Qian patted his ass happily, "Father is out of the horse, one top two!" ”
"Humph!" The old king of Jin glanced at his son with disdain, "What kind of business wizard do you call yourself, but you are overwhelmed by a hairy boy, look at what face you still have to say that you are powerful!" ”
"That's different, you don't look at other people's backers!" Zhao Qian said, "But what I can tell my father is that the kid is also with you!" ”
"Oh?" The old Jin King raised his eyebrows slightly, "This is interesting!" Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it is obvious that everyone has betrayed their relatives and left their relatives, and they have done their part as emperors! ”
Chu Wangfu.
After Zhao Ling's injuries improved slightly, he was moved to a side courtyard to the west of the King of Chu, where only two people, including Yan Yan, were waiting, and there were Emperor Zhou's people guarding outside, and there was no way to see him even in the palace of the king of Chu, which was equivalent to being imprisoned in the palace of the king of Chu.
The weather is getting colder day by day, and the weather in November is mixed with a bitter chill in the wind.
The weather on this day was good, Zhao Ling sat in a wheelchair, was pushed into the yard by Yan Yan to bask in the sun, Zhao Ling's hair was scattered, and his beard had not been taken care of for several months, his face was pale and thin, compared with his previous chic appearance, he seemed to be more than ten years old, revealing a vicissitudes of life.
"Shizi, do you want to add a blanket?" Yan Yan asked carefully.
"No need, that's good!" Zhao Ling said lightly, "Besides, don't call me the son of the world in the future, I am no longer the son of the world!" ”
"Yes, uncle!" Yan Yan secretly wiped her tears, she rubbed her hands, "I don't know how Miss is now!" ”
Zhao Ling smiled faintly: "Since she is still alive, she will definitely not let us down!" ”
"It's just that now that we live here, cut off from all contact with the outside world, how are we going to know about Miss in the future! Even if Miss is back, we won't know, let alone what the situation is outside! Yan Yan lowered her eyes and sighed.
"Don't think of your young lady as a stupid girl, she is smart, even if we can't get in touch with her, she will definitely contact us and find a way to tell us about her situation!" Zhao Ling said.
He paused and said, "Yanyan, have you ever hated us?" ”
Yan Yan was taken aback: "Why did my uncle say that?" ”
"If it weren't for me and Xiaoyu, you wouldn't be imprisoned here with me, I should have married you earlier, obviously everyone is booked!" Zhao Ling said.
"As soon as I heard that the young lady was in trouble, the man immediately withdrew from his family, what is the use of such a ruthless man coming?" Yanyan said, "Yanyan is the person of my aunt and my young lady, I should have been in trouble, what is not involved, Yan Yan is also glad that I can take care of my aunt on behalf of Miss now, if it is someone else, I am not at ease!" ”
Yan Yan carefully tidied up the blanket on Zhao Ling's body, and asked melancholy, "Why is even the prince like this?" Why didn't the prince let his uncle continue to be the son? Why did the prince let the prince move here, it was cold here, and it was not suitable for the prince to recuperate at all, why did the prince suddenly become ruthless! ”
"Yanyan!" Zhao Ling smiled slightly, "There are many things in this world that the prince can't decide, he can't decide who his own son is, and he can't decide where his son lives!" He's not ruthless, he's forced to do so! ”
"The weather is good today, uncle, take care of it, you look like this, even if the young lady comes back, I'm afraid I won't recognize it!" Yan Yan said with a smile, "The slave maid went to give my uncle that mirror, and my uncle took a good look at his appearance!" ”
It's just that Yan Yan's mirror hasn't been taken out yet, and there is bad news, the queen mother in the palace is not good, and she is still hanging her last breath, just to see her children and grandchildren, Emperor Zhou hurriedly sent someone to pass the decree, so that the people of the Chu Palace, together with Zhao Ling, will enter the palace together.
Before Zhao Ling's hair could be taken care of and his beard was not shaved, he was carried to Fengxi Palace.
When Zhao Ling arrived, there were already a lot of people outside the gate of this palace, kneeling outside, they looked at the prince of Chu who was carried to Fengxi Palace in surprise, who was once high-spirited, but now he is actually down to such a look!
At this time, Concubine De opened the door, glanced at Zhao Ling calmly, and said, "Carry the son in!" ”
Kneeling next to the bed in the house were the closest people to the Queen Mother, Emperor Zhou sat on the edge of the bed, holding the Queen Mother's hand, and everyone in the Chu Palace, as well as Concubine De and the Five Princes all knelt below.
The Queen Mother held Emperor Zhou's hand tightly, her two deep-set eyes widened, and she said in a hoarse voice: "The mourning family is already dying,
There are a few things I want to ask Your Majesty, and Your Majesty must answer the mourning family! ”
"Queen Mother, please say, whatever I can do, I will never break my word!" Emperor Zhou promised.
"First, no matter what, you have to keep the eldest grandson for a long time, the eldest grandson's family only has such a single seedling, don't break the roots here, otherwise the mourning family will die and face the ancestors and ancestors!" The Queen Mother gasped as she spoke, and then said, "The second is Zhao Ling, that child has been with the mourning family since he was a child, and he didn't protect him well in the early years, which has made the mourning family unhappy, please don't hurt that child anymore!" ”
"The mourning family promised the queen mother!"
"Grandson, are all the grandchildren of the mourning family here?" The Queen Mother struggled to get up and glanced at several grandsons in front of the bed, Zhao Qu, Zhao Li, Zhao Quan, Zhao Yang'er, and the six princes in Concubine De's arms, "What about Ling'er?" What about Ling'er, who mourns the family? ”
"Here, here!" Concubine De hurriedly said, "Hurry up and help the prince over and let the Queen Mother take a look!" ”
"Imperial Grandmother!" Zhao Ling was pushed to the side of the Queen Mother, "Let the imperial grandmother worry about her grandson before she is sick, the grandson is not filial, and the grandson can't live with the imperial grandmother!" ”
"Ling'er, Ling'er who mourns the family!" Holding Zhao Ling's hand, she shed tears in distress, she was silent for a while, then looked at Emperor Zhou and said, "Your Majesty, there is another one that is undecided, and the mourning family can't be blinded!" The matter of this prince is unresolved, and now that His Majesty has only one of the five princes who can take on the big responsibility, why is His Majesty still hesitating? ”
"The old five are still young......"
"Since he is the only one who is selected, what are you afraid of at a young age, you should do it if you let him run state affairs earlier and train him into a generation of Ming Jun!" The Queen Mother said hoarsely, these last words were almost sent from her throat in a hurry, containing the Queen Mother's helplessness and unease.
"I have responded to the queen mother, the fifth prince is talented, virtuous, and worthy of great responsibility, and he is the best candidate for the crown prince!" Emperor Zhou said, "I will tell the world about this tomorrow!" ”
"In this way, the mourning family will be relieved!" The Queen Mother lay down with tears in her eyes, she looked at the top of the bed, and suddenly exclaimed sadly, "Boss! Dick! Third! The imperial grandmother is here to accompany you, and the imperial grandmother is here to compensate you! ”
After she finished the last sentence, she stopped breathing, her cloudy eyes stared at the top of the bed, regret, reluctance, fear, and helplessness.
"The Queen Mother! Queen mother! Emperor Zhou shouted in surprise.
The following grandchildren also panicked, and Qi Qifei knelt down and crawled to the side of the bed, shouting, "Imperial grandmother! Imperial Grandmother! ”
"Xuan Imperial Doctor, Xuan Imperial Doctor!" Emperor Zhou hurriedly shouted.
The imperial doctor, who had been waiting outside, heard the voice and hurriedly entered, checked it for the Queen Mother, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty's mourning is smooth, the Queen Mother has already died!" ”
Emperor Zhou closed his eyes, two lines of tears flowed, and said sadly: "Queen Mother, I can't stand you in this life, if there is an afterlife, I will still be your son, and then repay your kindness!" ”
The relatives below cried hoarsely, and the imperial relatives and ministers outside were also crying, and the Fengxi Palace was surrounded by terrible cries and fell into a trance.
