Chapter 707: Kneeling Spirit (2)
Empress Pei felt bitter in her heart, and turned her head to avoid Concubine Wei Xian's gaze.
I will not kill Beren, but he will die because of me.
Her heart was filled with the pain of Emperor Xuanhe's death, and this self-blame and guilt were added, which almost crushed her.
After Concubine Wei Xian and the others also left, only Empress Pei and Yu Meiren were left in the mourning hall, as well as Cheng Jinrong in the corner.
"Luo Yu, you can go and rest too!" Empress Pei said in a low voice: "Just have Jinrong to accompany the palace." ”
Yu Meiren hesitated slightly and glanced at Cheng Jinrong. Cheng Jinrong silently got up and stepped forward, knelt down beside Queen Pei, and held Queen Pei's arm.
Yu Meiren left with peace of mind.
Soon, the mourning hall was dead silent again.
Time slipped by little by little, and the sound of the four watches rang out.
"Jinrong, only you didn't persuade Bengong to rest." Empress Pei's voice was low and obscure.
Because, only I know how deep Emperor Xuanhe's affection for you is. I know how complicated your feelings for Emperor Xuanhe are. Cheng Jinrong's eyes were complicated, and he said softly: "With me, the mother can kneel with peace of mind." ”
Empress Pei turned her head and glanced at Cheng Jinrong, her eyes full of sadness and pain.
Cheng Jinrong's nose was slightly sour, and the hand holding Queen Pei's arm never let go.
On the fifth watch, the concubines ordered the ladies to kneel again with the support of the palace people.
Queen Pei, who had stayed up all night, was still kneeling with her back straight.
Cheng Jinrong quietly returned to the original corner and silently accompanied and guarded Queen Pei.
On this day, Queen Pei barely ate a few mouthfuls of steamed buns and drank a few sips of warm water. She also knew that she couldn't survive a few days without eating. But her body instinctively refused to eat, and after only a few bites, her stomach rolled in discomfort, and she couldn't swallow it anymore.
The Six Princes finally came back in the evening.
The mother and son met, and they were shocked by each other.
"The queen mother must take care of her health." The sixth prince had red eyes and a low voice.
Empress Pei snorted and whispered to her son: "You have to hold on." Your father is gone, and now, you have to support both inside and outside the palace. ”
The Sixth Prince nodded.
In the previous year, Emperor Xuanhe had been bedridden, and all the political affairs of the DPRK and China were handed over to him. He can also make decisions on all matters in the palace.
But now, as soon as Emperor Xuanhe closed his eyes, he clearly understood what a heavy responsibility was on his shoulders.
From now on, there will be no one to support him and shelter him.
He had to take care of everything.
The sixth prince and Empress Pei whispered a few words, went to the corner again, and whispered to Cheng Jinrong: "Cousin Rong, this time, you have worked hard to take care of the queen mother. ”
Cheng Jinrong raised his eyes and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will take care of Niangniang's body." ”
The two sisters and brothers glanced at each other, and everything was silent.
……
On the third day, the Duchess of Yasukuni fell ill first.
Even if you are sick, you can't leave the palace. However, you can rest most of the day. Just kneel for two hours. survived the first seven days of Emperor Xuanhe, and more and more Mrs. Fate fell ill.
Among them, there are those who are weak and unable to hold on, and there are also two people who are active and want to kneel for a few hours by pretending to be sick.
It's a pity that with Imperial Doctor Cheng here, the two ladies who pretended to faint quickly appeared.
After Cheng Jinrong diagnosed their pulses separately, he didn't hide it at all, and said lightly: "The pulses of the two ladies are stable and powerful, and there is no sign of inexhaustibility. ”
The two ladies were exposed on the spot, and each blushed in embarrassment.
Queen Pei, who hadn't opened her mouth for a few days, was really angry, and coldly issued a phoenix order: "Come here, pass on the message of the palace, and send the two of them back to the house immediately." From today on, you must not step into the palace gate for half a step, and you will no longer have to kneel for the emperor. ”
The expressions of the two ladies changed greatly, and they knelt on the ground to intercede with bitter tears.
They just want to be lazy and rest, and they are kicked out of the palace like this, what kind of face do they have! How will I go out to meet people in the future!
It's a pity that even if the two of them broke their heads and cried hoarsely, Queen Pei did not relent. The two of them were kicked out of the palace, and their husbands were also unlucky.
When the six princes learned about this, they were furious and kicked the two officials out of the palace.
This is the end of the career of the two.
The six princes dealt with it like this, and no one dared to say anything, let alone plead for those two unlucky officials.
The Son of Heaven had just closed his eyes, and these active minds dared to tempt the queen and the crown prince. Whether it is on his own initiative or secretly instigated, he deserves such an end.
After this incident, the ladies were honestly divided. Those who were sick also got better in the shortest possible time.
Half a month after kneeling in the spirit, Queen Pei finally couldn't hold it anymore and fainted in the mourning hall.
Concubine Gu Shu was the closest, and quickly supported Queen Pei, while hurriedly opening her mouth: "Niangniang fainted, Doctor Cheng come over quickly." ”
At the moment when Queen Pei fainted, Cheng Jinrong quickly got up and walked over. Yu Meiren moved equally fast, holding Queen Pei's other arm.
There was some confusion in the mourning hall.
Emperor Xuanhe died for half a month, and everyone knelt for half a month. No amount of grief or sorrow is almost consumed. Now that Queen Pei is down, everyone can't help but whisper.
"In the past half a month, the queen mother has hardly left the mourning hall. He kneels during the day, and keeps a vigil at night. Not to mention Niangniang's body, no matter how good a person is, he can't help it. ”
"It's already unexpected to be able to survive for half a month."
"After Niangniang falls ill, who should I listen to here?"
"Do you need to think about it? Of course, it's the lady lady. I heard that before the emperor died, he entrusted all the affairs of the harem to Concubine Shuniang. ”
Speaking of which, the concubines in the harem should have been headed by Zheng Jieyu. Zheng Jieyu has been an imperial concubine for many years, and gave birth to the eldest prince and the fourth prince, who used to be a powerful figure in the harem.
It's a pity that Zheng Jieyu has fallen out of favor in recent years, and her position has also dropped.
Besides, Concubine Wei Xian was born in a famous family and has five princes under her knees. The biological mother of the seventh prince and the biological mother of the eighth prince are not low.
However, with the will of Emperor Xuanhe, all four of them had to be martyred. Those who are waiting for death, what kind of heart do they have to compete with the lady concubine?
In the next words, I can't say more, each eyebrow and eye signal, how much you can comprehend, it depends on each person.
Cheng Jinrong had no time to pay attention to everyone's eyebrows and lawsuits, she leaned down, checked Queen Pei's pulse, and pinched people hard. Empress Pei's eyes were closed tightly and she never woke up.
Cheng Jinrong was anxious, but his subordinates were not chaotic at all, and commanded in a low voice: "Carry the queen into the house, I will give the needle to the mother." ”
Empress Pei was carried away, and Gu Shufei Yu was worried in her heart, so she followed along.
Zheng Jieyu, who was kneeling in the mourning hall, suddenly raised her head and glanced in the direction where Queen Pei left.
