The next day, before dawn, Mama Chu woke up.

She went out very lightly and stared at the small kitchen to prepare the breakfast for the Queen Mother, and when she came out of the dining room, she asked another palace maid beside her, "Where is Ah Hua?" Why didn't she come here this morning? ”

"Sister Ah Hua said that she was not feeling well, so she went to the Tai Hospital to find the doctor to get medicine."

Mama Chu wondered: "This girl was fine last night, why did she suddenly get sick today." ”

The palace maid shook her head: "The slave doesn't know." ”

Mama Chu didn't expect her to know, and it was only strange for a moment, after all, there was more than one palace maid in the palace, and there was one who was sick and the next one was on top.

She made a wash of face and brought it into the Queen Mother's bedroom, and when she entered, she found that the Queen Mother had not woken up yet.

She just thought that the Queen Mother didn't sleep well because of what happened last night, so she didn't make a sound to scream, and went out and ordered someone to warm up the breakfast and wait for the Queen Mother to wake up before using it.

In the middle, she also went to Zhengyun Palace to greet His Majesty, Wang Jin received her politely, listened to her ask about His Majesty's condition, shook his head and smiled bitterly and replied that he hadn't seen him yet.

Mama Chu said in her heart that it was good that the osmanthus cake had not been made yet, otherwise it would be in vain.

When she returned to Qing'an Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs performed their duties, and they all knew that the queen mother was asleep, and the sound of cleaning was very soft.

Mama Chu pulled a palace maid in surprise: "Hasn't the Queen Mother woken up yet?" ”

The palace maid shook her head, "The queen mother didn't call anyone, and the slaves and maids didn't dare to go in privately, just wait for my aunt to come back and go in to see, is the queen mother not safe, why haven't you woken up at this time?" ”

Mama Chu's expression became more serious, and she said as she walked inside, "You follow me in and have a look." ”

The two walked into the Queen Mother's bedroom, the surrounding light was dim, and the atmosphere was quiet and scary, Mama Chu couldn't even hear a trace of breathing, she had a bad premonition in her heart, and walked to the Queen Mother's bed with a low voice: "Queen Mother? ”

There was no reaction from the person in the bed.

The uneasiness in Mama Chu's heart expanded, she cleared her throat, and whispered again in the same smooth tone as usual: "Queen Mother, it's time for breakfast." ”

The eyes of the man on the bed were closed, his lips were pursed together, his gaze was downward, and his chest did not seem to rise or fall even a little breath.

Mama Chu's fingers trembled, and little by little she stretched out under the Queen Mother's nose.

The fingers trembled so much that they accidentally touched the queen mother's skin, and it was cold.

There is no breath under the nose.

Mama Chu's legs weakened, and she knelt on the ground with a thud.

The palace maid behind her understood, and also knelt on the ground.

Mama Chu knelt up straight in disbelief and shook the Queen Mother's shoulder: "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother!" Queen Mother, wake up...... Wake up! ”

The Queen Mother's body shook as she shook, but she didn't give a reaction.

Because the Queen Mother claimed to be seriously ill, there was a waiting doctor in the side hall, and Mama Chu did not give up and asked someone to call the doctor over.

Imperial Physician Zhang entered, and when he walked to the bed and saw the Queen Mother's pale face, he secretly said that it was not good, knelt on the ground to probe the pulse, and his fingertips slowly fell up.

Before long, he retracted his hand like an electric shock, and met the gaze of Mama Chu, his voice paused slightly, "...... The Queen Mother died. ”

No wonder he was so surprised, although the Queen Mother called herself sick, but whether she was sick or not, they knew best that although the Queen Mother was constantly sick on weekdays, there was never any major problem, but she didn't see her for a day, how kind of good person suddenly disappeared?

Mama Chu glanced at him and staggered to the ground. He commanded the palace maid beside him in a dumb voice: "Go to Zhengyun Palace and inform Your Majesty." She shifted her gaze to the right and landed on the palace maid and eunuch who knelt on the ground, swept them one by one, her voice was slightly choked, and there was a layer of water in her eyes: "The Queen Mother - died." ”

The palace maids and eunuchs in front of the door bowed their heads in unison, and their cries were continuous.

……

When the news reached Zhengyun Palace, Fu Mingli, who was still eating roast chicken, listened to the letter and stayed on the bed for a while without moving.

He seemed to be fixed, a piece of chicken was still hanging in his mouth and he didn't swallow it, his eyes were staring at the palace maid who was delivering the message, and he spit out the chicken for a while, and his cold eyes shot at the man: "Do you know what the crime of spreading rumors in the palace is?" Don't you even dare to tell such a ridiculous lie, don't you want to live? ”

The palace maid knelt on the ground and wept, "Your Majesty forgives me, the slave and maid don't dare to tell such a big lie even if they die, the queen mother has indeed collapsed, and when Mama Chu went to call this morning, she had already swallowed her breath." ”

Fu Mingli put down the roast chicken and walked to the palace maid and stopped.

The palace maid trembled and kowtowed several times: "The slave maid does not dare to deceive Your Majesty...... Your Majesty spares your life. ”

Fu Mingli glanced at her lightly, and strode out past her.

Wang Jin hurriedly followed.

When he came to Qing'an Palace, Fu Mingli saw the Queen Mother on the bed with his eyes closed as if she was just sleeping, and the coldness of her heart spread from her heel to the tip of her heart little by little.

Yesterday, I also heard Wang Jin talk about this person, saying that she was going to get involved in other people's marriages, and wanted to force his loyal courtiers to marry a notorious woman, and he also smiled and told Wang Jin, saying that if the Queen Mother really dared to do this, then he would definitely stop her.

But it was a dark night, and he only slept in the dormitory for a night, and in the blink of an eye, he saw her silently lose her life.

He took two deep breaths in succession, turned his head, and asked Imperial Physician Zhang, who was kneeling beside the bed, "Why are there no people?" ”

Imperial Doctor Zhang replied: "It's poison...... In the beauty soup used by the Queen Mother yesterday, the minister has tested it, it is highly poisonous, and the crane is red. ”

Fu Mingli: "Has the poisoner been found?" ”

Mama Chu walked up to Fu Mingli and knelt down, "The slave maid has already counted the palace maids and eunuchs in Qing'an Palace just now, and the palace maid Ah Hua is nowhere to be found...... Ah Hua is the niece of the slave maid, and said that she went to the Tai Hospital to find the Tai Doctor to prescribe medicine, and just now the slave and the maid asked the Tai Hospital to ask, and Ah Hua did not appear in the Tai Hospital. Last night's beauty soup, except for Ah Hua, the handler is a slave. ”

Mama Chu has been by the Queen Mother's side for many years, and has saved the Queen Mother from danger many times, even if Fu Mingli can't get used to this old mama, she has also acquiesced in her loyalty to the Queen Mother in her heart: "You go to find out about this matter, and then go to the Inner Court to confess the guilt." ”

Mama Chu's eyes were swollen, and her voice was even more hoarse: "The slave obeys." ”

The queen mother died, the mountains mourned together, and the whole country mourned.

In the eyes of everyone in the outside world, the Queen Mother has been seriously ill for more than a month, and Fang Jinxiang's death is not so surprising, the courtiers and relatives participated in the funeral of the Queen Mother, and returned to the mansion to do their own thing, except for the occasional mention between words, there will be no more discussions.

In the cold wind of Xiao Xiao, Yun Qingzheng and Yun Lan played against each other, and the door of the side hall was suddenly kicked open from the outside.
