222, turn
In the cold palace, Queen Jiang looked at the back of King An leaving, the hand that was shrunk in her sleeve tightened, and then let go as if nothing happened.
Halfway through, she shouted in a dumb voice, "Mama Ye." ”
Mama Ye came in from outside after a while, and Empress Jiang instructed without raising her head, "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep for a while, Mama doesn't have to wait, let's rest." ”
Mama Ye had a smile in her eyes, "There is only one old slave next to Niangniang, and the old slave is guarding outside." ”
Empress Jiang doesn't care, everything has changed since she came to the cold palace, in order to torture her, Mingzhu won't let her rest well at all, and she almost didn't sleep much during the first time.
Later, she was able to catch the time to sleep, and she slept.
Mama Ye will be outside at this time, just to let her sleep well.
For Mama Ye, Empress Jiang is still satisfied, but she was originally waiting by the emperor's side, who knows if she has different intentions?
"You go and rest, who knows what new ways that slut will have to torture us later? You don't have a good rest, how can you help me? Empress Jiang comforted.
Mama Ye's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile, "That old slave thanked Niangniang." With that, he turned and walked out, and without hesitation went to his own room on the side.
When passing under the corridor, a rough little girl nodded to Mama Ye invisibly when she passed by Mama Ye.
Mama Ye closed her eyes slightly, and there was a tacit understanding between the two that no one noticed.
Empress Jiang lay on the simple wooden bed for a while, waiting for the outside to be quiet, and then walked towards the back window.
She gently pushed open the window lattice, and a clump of weeds was planted in a broken pot on the windowsill.
In the Fengyi Palace in the past, there were all kinds of strange flowers and plants, but when I arrived in the cold palace, I had to put a pot of weeds on the windowsill.
She gently touched the green leaves of the weeds, and her originally pale face became more and more pale.
She remembered the tenderness when she was newly married, the surprise of the husband and wife when the child was born, the mutual support in the East Palace, and the anxiety and joy when she ascended to the position of queen.
Her tears still flowed, and her heart suddenly felt like a piece was missing.
I just take back what I deserve.
Empress Jiang thought so in her head.
In an instant, her heart was filled with anger and resentment!
Who is responsible for all this?
The only thing Empress Jiang could think of was King Jin and his wife.
A shameless one gets involved with her husband's brother, and a green hat on her head that can endure it.
What kind of woman does an emperor want? A woman who wants her own brother!
Why? One by one, so shameless?
Well, since they don't want to be embarrassed, she'll stab it all!
His heart had never been on her.
In the past, she could still lie to herself that she was his wife, and that she was the one who would stay in the same mausoleum when she died.
What are other women?
It's just a just in case.
But now, she has become a thing, what is left of her life in this life?
Her hands were clenched tightly, her nails digging into her palms, and she couldn't release the hatred in her heart.
It took a long time for her to calm down.
You are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!
If it weren't for their persecution, she wouldn't be like this.
She knew that the emperor would not want her life if he put her in the cold palace, but was it enough to just live?
No, she not only wants to live, but also to live well! Live with dignity.
There is no one to give her these, only to fight for them by herself.
If you want Gu Nian to know such an idea, you have to fool her with blood!
In order to satisfy her ambitions, Queen Jiang found an excuse to find her, and she was really capable.
For the sake of her own ambitions, she can even push out her own children, doesn't she know that once King An fails, he will die?
Therefore, from the heart, she has always only had herself!
Empress Jiang seemed to like the pot of weeds, stroked the green leaves for a while, and fiddled with a few small pebbles in the broken pot, and when no one was paying attention, she slipped a small pebble out of the cuff and put it in the pile of stones.
Outside the door, by the window lattice, the little girl's head flickered by, like a shadow blown by the wind.
Empress Jiang did not find out.
Mama Ye entered the house and sat for a while, stood up, pulled the clothes on her body, walked out with a smile, and came up to a little girl who was cleaning in the yard.
"Yo, you thought it was the head of Fengyi Palace in the past? This is not Fengyi Palace, this is Cold Palace! ”
"Do you think you're superior? It's worse than grass. ”
The little girl stuffed the broom in her hand into Mama Ye's hand, "Your master has gone to rest, and the yard will clean you up." ”
She looked mean, but her eyes glanced at the window where Queen Jiang had just taken something, nodded slightly, and then glanced at Mama Ye with disgust,
"What do you see? Look at the dinner in the evening and it's gone. ”
Mama Ye accepted her fate, took the broom from the little girl's hand without saying a word, and lowered her head to clean.
No one noticed, a little girl quietly came out of the cold palace.
……
In the Qiankun Palace, King An wanted to take Xu'er outside, but Xu'er refused.
"I want to see them put things here, and there are things they don't know where to put them." Xu Er simply rejected King An.
The emperor glanced at King An, and saw a smile on his face, but it was unnatural.
On weekdays, although King An is very ridiculous and very bad, he is not like his child at all, and he rarely takes the initiative to come to talk to him.
Especially after he was in addition to things in the hunting ground, and after he made a big fool in the Jin Palace, he shrank in the Anwang Mansion and did not move.
At this time, when Xu Er entered the palace, he took the initiative to see him, and he must have asked for something.
The emperor read countless people, only put these in his eyes, and did not break them, and said to Xiao Yue, "Xiao Jiu, you accompany Xu'er to watch here." I'm taking this stinky boy to talk. ”
After speaking, he patted Xiao Yue's shoulder again, "Xu'er won't stop me if I want to go back, so don't blame me, the eldest brother, for robbing the child with you." ”
Xiao Yue smiled casually, "Big brother can't snatch it if he wants to." I want to thank the eldest brother for being willing to keep this stinky boy by his side and raise him. ”
Regardless of what the emperor wants to do, Xiao Yue still wants the emperor and Xu'er to be so close, he and the emperor have supported them all the way, and the relationship between the two cannot be humane to outsiders.
However, this is just him and the emperor, the emperor will be old and will die, what will the Jin palace do in the future?
Therefore, this is also the reason why Gu Nian is not happy to let Xu Er enter the palace, but he still ruthlessly lets go.
King An stood on the side, watching all this with cold eyes, his eyes were complicated, and the small porcelain bottle pinched in the palm of his hand was about to be crushed by him.
Sometimes he really can't understand why his own father is very indifferent to his own children.
There are three princes, if they are just indifferent to him, they can still say that they hate him, but the three princes are the same.
He loves an outsider, even a child born from an outsider.
Once upon a time, his mother told him that it was because his father needed Xiao Yue's help.
King An followed the emperor to the main hall with a complicated heart.
"Have you seen your mother? You haven't had any errands lately, what have you done? This will come to see me, what's the matter? The emperor sat on the chair and looked at King An with a faint expression.
Since he was a child, his father has always looked at him like this, and he has never smiled.
King An looked respectful, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Back to my father's words, the child has recently been introspecting in the palace behind closed doors. ”
"Introspection behind closed doors?" The emperor snorted and said, "I hope it is as you say." I heard that you are living a very leisurely life, and I pity you for not feeling well, so I open one eye and close one eye, but you have to stop in moderation. ”
King An's expression turned pale, he didn't expect that the emperor even knew what he was doing in the mansion, he was indeed a bit of a vegetarian during this time, and sometimes Yun'er served him with the little servants in the mansion......
He hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Father forgives the sin, the child knows, and he will definitely change his way in the future." ”
The emperor laughed and looked at King An indifferently.
King An thought about it a lot, and he didn't know how to say it.
The emperor said, "What I said to you in the past, I will say it again today, you are not too young, whether you do things right or wrong, where you are right and where you are wrong, you have to know in your own heart."
You go back, and stay in the house in the future. ”
King An was completely stunned, and said after a while, "Yes." ”
He came in a hurry with the purpose of getting the edict of succession, but he didn't expect the emperor's attitude to be like this, which made him unable to express anything if he wanted to.
It made him angry more than he was reprimanded.
The emperor asked him to stay in the mansion, didn't he just ground him? Can he still get his edict of succession?
He cautiously raised his eyes to see that the emperor had already looked down at the fold.
No, the more this is the case, the more it shows that his opportunity is being lost day by day. Mother is right, if you don't take advantage of the situation to do this today, you will definitely have long nights and dreams.
Does he really have to wait for the new emperor to ascend to the throne in the future, and he will prostrate at the feet of the new emperor and look at the faces of others?
Now that we have come, we must succeed today.
"Father, the child knows that he is wrong, you can spare the child, the child does not want to be confined anymore......"
He knelt down to the edge of the imperial case and pulled the emperor's sleeve.
The emperor stared at him, his eyes were like ancient wells and deep pools.
King An was inexplicably a little flustered, stretched out a hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and the porcelain vase that Empress Jiang gave him suddenly appeared in front of the emperor's eyes.
He swallowed his saliva and said, "Father, child, child has something to say to you...... It's about the Four Emperor Uncles...... No...... That's the man......"
The Emperor stared at him and waved his sleeves.
He wanted to see what he wanted to do.
Chang Yuan and the others retreated cleanly and closed the temple door.
King An withdrew his gaze, looked at the emperor, leaned over a little more, and said,
"Father, this was given to the child by the queen mother just now, saying that it was a drug, she asked the child to give the father to eat, and then got the edict of succession.
The child really wants to be the crown prince and even the future emperor.
Isn't a child a brute? How dare you do such a crazy thing?
What's more, the child knows how his body, a flawed prince, can ascend to the throne.
But that's the mother of the child, the child'......."
After speaking, King An lowered his head, looking dejected.
The emperor remained silent and said, "Are you sure your mother gave it to you?" ”
King An stood up excitedly, and suddenly knelt down again, slamming his head heavily on the brightly lit floor, "Father, the son knows that my mother is doing this is a great rebellion.
Erchen has always admired his father, and in the past, although he also had a grudge against his father, the bloodline of father and son cannot be broken.
Erchen will never be so ruthless as to kill his father. ”
His face was so ugly that he almost burst into tears.
The emperor stretched out his hand to take the porcelain vase, played with it for a while, and said, "Since I was a child, I have indeed neglected your education, you are competitive, but you don't have the intelligence and courage.
Your mother has always been a wise woman. Always know what to do and when.
It's good that you can confess to me today. ”
"Father, she is the mother of the child...... It's a drug, not a poison...... The child doesn't know who picked up the mother...... Father, please son, for the sake of your son, spare your mother's life.
Now that I think about it, maybe the queen mother was confused for a while and did something wrong.
In the final analysis, she is also desperate for the sake of her children, but she doesn't know that she has made a wrong step, a wrong step.
From this point of view, the child is not to blame.
It's all children who used to be too useless.
If the father wants to punish him, he will punish the child, and the child is willing to be punished in the place of the mother. ”
King An looked at the emperor, pleaded bitterly, and then kowtowed three times.
When he raised his head again, King An was already full of tears, with a sad and determined light in his eyes.
"I know." The emperor sighed, "She is your mother and my wife. ”
"Come on, quickly block the cold palace and watch the queen, don't let her harm herself or cause trouble, and don't let her have any chance to pass on the news before I give the order."
The emperor raised his voice to summon Chang Yuan, who was waiting outside, and one after another the will was passed down.
King An waited for the emperor's decree to be finished, and hurriedly opened his mouth and said, "Father, the child is willing to be punished for his mother, and he begs his father to be merciful and spare his mother's life." ”
"This is not a trivial matter, you must find out who your mother is in collusion with, right? Today is your filial piety, so you and I will drag things out together, and in the future, your mother will collude with others, only a thousand years to be a thief, not a thousand years to prevent thieves.
Even if I am willing to spare your mother, what about your mother? ”
King An knelt stiffly, anxious, but he couldn't think of any way to stop the emperor from letting people go to the queen.
Seeing Chang Yuan go out of the hall, in a hurry, he pulled the corner of the emperor's robe,
"Father, father, the child begs you, you must spare your mother's life, no matter how much she is wrong, she is the emperor's wife and the child's mother.
begged his father to be light, and the child kowtowed to his father. ”
As he spoke, he knocked his head hard, followed by a second.
One after the other.
Soon, King An's forehead was red and swollen, but King An still showed no signs of stopping, and he had the posture of breaking his head.
The emperor frowned tightly and said in a deep voice, "Rui'er, it is already an extra kindness for me to let you go, but your mother cannot be spared.
No matter how many kowtows you make, I can't let him go.
In this way, you saved your mother, and you didn't care about your father's safety? ”
King An's face turned pale, and he knelt on the spot in despair, the tears in his eyes sliding down unconsciously.
It was as if something desperate had happened.
The emperor took a look at it, and asked the little eunuch to take King An to the pantry on the side to slow down his emotions, and bandage the wound on his forehead by the way.
Xiao Yue took Xu'er's hand and walked over from under the door of the apse.
The emperor said with a cold face, "This woman really can't be underestimated." ”
Xiao Yue said, "Fortunately, King An is a good one." ”
The emperor sneered, "You don't need to comfort me, what my child is like, I don't know?" I know exactly what kind of caution he is playing. ”
"If he can turn around and sell his mother, even if he is not crippled, I will not be able to pass this on to him."
"Xiao Jiu, I'm really tired. This emperor's road, I have walked too hard. So far, I really have nothing but you.
My wife and outsiders want my life together, and their own children are also playing tricks in front of me, wanting my throne.
If there is an afterlife, I must just be an ordinary person, enjoy an ordinary life, husband and wife are harmonious, and the younger generation is filial......"
Xiao Yue's face was depressed, and he sighed, "I have already walked ninety-nine steps, only the last one is left, don't be annoyed, eldest brother, you are still young, you can accept the harem again, and the children can still give birth to a bunch, and when the time comes, you can always raise one by your side from an early age, and you can always raise one that suits your heart." ”
The emperor smiled, "It's a critical juncture now, just now someone from the cold palace said that she had contacted the outside, but I don't know what news was transmitted." ”
Xiao Yue frowned, "Is there anyone staring over there?" ”
The emperor nodded, "Your father-in-law sent someone to keep an eye on it, because he doesn't know the specific news, and he has to keep an eye on it, in case there is any terrible news......
Xiao Yue nodded, "What do you want to do with it over there?" ”
The emperor was silent for a while, and finally raised his head and made up his mind, "Since you have given up, let's give up completely." ”
After speaking, he looked in the direction of the pantry.
……
After Empress Jiang put the things in her hand into the weed pot, she leaned on the bed, her face was not angry, and she raised her voice and shouted, "Mama Ye." ”
There was no sound outside, and she called again, but no sound came.
She was angry in her heart, this Mama Ye was really unreliable.
She got up and put on her shoes, and there was a commotion outside, and there was a messy footsteps, and there was the screams of the palace maids, and soon, the closed door was pushed open from the outside, and all eyes stared at her as if they were about to eat people.
She knew that it was probably King An who had failed.
Her whole body trembled, and she clenched her teeth hard, not allowing herself to reveal the resentment and fear in her heart.
She wanted to go out, but was stopped by those people at the door, and Queen Jiang suddenly mourned, covered her face with her sleeves, and cried silently.
"What does the emperor want to do with this palace?" Empress Jiang wiped her tears, raised her chin, and asked Chang Yuan arrogantly.
Chang Yuan said with a smile, "Niangniang, the emperor didn't say what to do with you, just let you stay here temporarily, and in this room, the rough people outside will be evacuated." ”
"In the future, I will bring you food on time."
Empress Jiang said in surprise, "That's it?" What about King An? How is King An? ”
Chang Yuan seemed to be very strange, and said, "King An? Isn't King An good? King An talked to the emperor's father and son. ”
Empress Jiang involuntarily took a step back, "Then why do you want people to take care of me?" This palace is the queen of Dongli, the mother of the world, the mother of King An, the wife of the emperor, why do you want to do this to me? “
If in the past, when she was in the cold palace, Empress Jiang was still free except for living a hard life.
But now, she's a prisoner, a real prisoner, locked up here, guarded.
Chang Yuan didn't say anything more, just looked at the people behind him, and some people scattered everywhere and turned around.
Empress Jiang watched in shock as those people flipped around, like crazy, and shouted, "You dog slaves, bold, dare to be presumptuous here in this palace, this palace is still the queen, you dogs." ”
She cursed angrily, grabbed a eunuch and fought.
No one paid any attention to him.
This room, which was already simple, was finished in a while, and there was nothing to be gained.
Chang Yuan looked at the pot of weeds on the window lattice, his eyes moved slightly, and he said to the people below, "You take care of the queen mother, if there is any accident in the mother, your dog's life is not enough." ”
"Let me out, let me out, I want to see the emperor, I want to put the emperor."
This cold palace was filled with Queen Jiang's mournful cries, but no one paid attention to her.
The people in the cold palace have all withdrawn, even Mama Ye has left, and Mingzhu, who used to be troublesome, has never appeared again.
"If the emperor doesn't see me again, I'll let him tell his ugly things, haha, does he think he's hiding it from the world? As long as he doesn't let me out, it won't be long before the world will know that he actually put his brother in life and death, the minister's wife, on the dragon bed and gave birth to a little cub......
When the time comes, it will not be the main palace that will lose face. ”
Empress Jiang still doesn't know what happened to King An, these guards' mouths are as tight as mussel shells, and they haven't told her any news.
She panicked, thinking of the news that spread out, she felt that she had the capital to save her life.
Empress Jiang was shouting in the cold palace, and Gu Nian outside also knew what happened in the palace that day.
"What will the emperor do with the queen?" After listening to what Xiao Yue said, Gu Nian subconsciously asked.
Xiao Yue glanced at her and said in a rambling voice, "The eldest brother is not a woman's benevolent character, and the method of dealing with it must be very reasonable." ”
Gu Nian shrugged, she really wanted to see what the queen looked like before she died.
No matter what the emperor did with Empress Jiang, she didn't feel relieved.
Don't say anything else, let's just say that in Izumo Temple that day, the queen and Mrs. Pingyang wanted to send her to the emperor's bed, and this one made Gu Nian want to cut her with a thousand knives.
"Are you afraid that the eldest brother will not deal with it to your liking?" Xiao Yue asked.
Gu Nian shook his head, until now, Xiao Yue didn't know about the queen's design for her, she was afraid that if this matter was said, Xiao Yue didn't know what she would do.
However, soon, the emperor's method of disposing of the queen's mother surprised Gu Nian, or surprised everyone.
