Chapter 53: Dying

"Queen Mother!"

"Queen Mother! Come on, the queen has fainted! ”

For a while, everyone rushed up like a tide, and the palace maids and eunuchs rushed to spread the word, although Queen Chen fainted, her ears were still clear, and she knew clearly in her heart that she was raised by Sima Rui, who had been raised by herself for ten years, this white-eyed wolf who ate people and did not spit out bones.

All the obedience and humility of Sima Rui in front of her came to naught at this moment, she grinned bitterly and desolately, and the ** medicine in the teacup once again robbed her consciousness, and she completely lost consciousness.

Sima Rui was about to step forward with an excited expression, but was stopped by Leng Wu's sideways, Sima Rui's right hand trembled slightly, but he still held back, just staring at Leng Changxi with a cold expression.

"The queen mother is emotional, and her physical condition is unknown, so I advise the third prince not to approach easily." Leng Changxi raised his head slightly, how could he give a person like Sima Rui a chance to approach Empress Chen, Leng Changxi had asked someone to check Sima Rui before, but Sima Rui was too deeply hidden, but recently Leng Changxi had already asked from the mouth of the old palace maid who lived in the suburbs of Beijing in Liu Shangshu's mouth.

Sima Rui! When the Weiyang Palace caught fire, it was clear that someone saw him leaving the scene in a hurry, who was only ten years old at the time.

Thinking of this, Leng Changxi's fingertips couldn't help but tremble, Qin Yunuan only gently took Leng Changxi's hand when he saw this, and this move stung Sima Rui's eyes again.

"With the divine doctor Sun Miaoyang here, the three princes can rest assured" Qin Yunuan said to Sima Rui with a smile, but his eyes seemed to be a mockery, "Divine Doctor Sun will definitely let the queen mother be safe and sound." ”

Safe and sound? This is the last thing Sima Rui wants to see.

The Queen's Fushou Palace has always been a quiet and peaceful place, but today, the air seems to spread infinitely with a solemn smell.

Sun Miaoyang was still treating Empress Chen in the dormitory, and Emperor Zhaoxuan summoned all the housekeepers and maids and eunuchs in the Fushou Palace to the side hall, and asked one by one with a serious expression.

But these people all seem to be unified. It's like that, either they are serving in the outer hall and don't know the situation inside, or the queen is worshipping the Buddha every day, there is no abnormality, and Queen Chen is a dignified and virtuous queen in their mouths, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi were waiting on one side, beside Sima Ruo and Sima Rui, Sai Chun had been sent back to Jingxi Palace to rest, and now for Sai Chun, the most important thing was to keep the child in his belly.

"Let's all go down;

。 Emperor Zhaoxuan pinched the bridge of his nose, a little tired.

All the palace maids and eunuchs went down, but only one palace maid dressed as a third-class palace maid did not leave for a long time, and when everyone else had withdrawn from the inner hall, she turned her head sharply and kowtowed to the emperor.

"What is this?" The emperor frowned.

This palace girl has a long face, her appearance is not brilliant, her skin is also a little rough, she looks like a rough palace maid doing rough work, the more she kowtows, the more she trembles, until her head is swollen before she looks up and says: "The slave maid has seen some things that should not be seen, so she has been living a life of fear, afraid of causing death, and now she only hopes that the emperor will bless her and protect the slave and maid with a cheap life, and the slave and maid will say anything." ”

Emperor Zhaoxuan's voice was mighty and loud: "You just have to say that no one can harm you in Daqi." ”

The long-faced palace maid immediately said: "Just a while ago, the slave maid was too tired when she sprinkled and swept the garden, so she lay down behind the rockery and fell asleep...... Afterwards....... ”

After a pause, the palace maid continued to lean over and said: "The slave maid saw that the palace maid was the sister of Chun'er, the personal palace maid next to the queen's mother, at that time, she took out a few packets of yellow paper from her cuffs, gave them to a eunuch with a raw face, and told her which bags were in the diet of Concubine Yun and which ones were in the diet of the eldest princess, and she also specially advised, saying that the queen mother meant that she must not let Concubine Yun get better, nor can she let the eldest prince and the eldest princess enter and leave the palace gate. ”

"Come on, bring Chun'er."

Things seemed to be developing steadily in one direction step by step, Qin Yunuan leaned closer to Leng Changxi's side, lowered her voice and said, "I'm afraid the queen mother will be unable to protect herself this time." ”

Leng Changxi tilted his head slightly, his eyes still looking straight ahead: "I have never cared about Empress Chen's affairs, her life and death have nothing to do with me, I am just a little surprised by Sima Rui's viciousness, but it is understandable that a person who has lived under the control of Empress Chen's domineering ** for a long time is inevitably a little perverted." ”

Qin Yunuan couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and then he felt a focused and cold gaze thrown at him, it was Sima Rui, he was looking at Qin Yunuan with a look at his prey, Qin Yunuan turned his head unconsciously, and at this time, Chun'er had already arrived.

Chun'er was born delicately, and she didn't know anything about the words of the palace maid with a long face and rough face, but in a moment, some drugs that made people comatose and unfavorable to the fetus from Chun'er's house had made things powerless.

"Your Majesty, this is not done by the slave, it is the queen who forced the slave to do it, Your Majesty." In the face of a series of evidence, Chun'er is desperately pushing everything on the queen.

"The evidence is conclusive, what else is there to deny." Emperor Zhaoxuan was furious, he had always valued and respected Empress Chen, he had always regarded her as his good helper, a virtuous helper, but now he has become a vicious woman who mutilates harem concubines, poisons his unborn grandson, and even finds a killer to take his life.

At this time, Sun Miaoyang sent a palace maid to report that Empress Chen had woken up, but she couldn't speak, and her mood was a little unstable, but she wanted to see the emperor.

Emperor Zhaoxuan clenched his fists: "I don't want to see her" and then got up to spread my will, the queen mother was too frightened at the banquet, palpitations, and needed to recuperate, and the people in Fushou Palace were scattered, from then on, the queen mother was not allowed to go out of the palace gate, and from this moment on, no one was allowed to go in to see her. After that, he looked at Sima Rui angrily and said, "You'd better be a little more vigilant to me, don't follow the example of your mother;

。 ”

Sima Rui hurriedly knelt down, and responded again and again, looking like a filial son was sad, after Emperor Zhaoxuan left, Sima Ruo silently walked up to Sima Rui, his expression was a little sad, Qin Yunuan subconsciously wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Leng Changxi: "The eldest prince has his own measure." ”

Sima Rui slowly raised his head, there were still false tears on his face, and before he could speak, he was slapped twice by Sima Ruo.

After the beating, Sima Ruo's hands were trembling: "This slap was made for the queen mother, and there was another slap for Saichun, third brother, I know who did this, do you know?" God, you will remember, and you will have retribution. ”

Sima Rui was still kneeling on the ground, with a wry smile, and he walked away from his back, muttering to himself: "Retribution? Yes, retribution, is coming. ”

On the carriage back to the house, Qin Yunuan looked a little absent-minded, she always knew that the eldest prince and Leng Changxi were all the way, and the two had been silently helping each other, so this time the eldest prince asked for help, and she also told Leng Changxi for the first time, but she didn't expect that their opponent Sima Rui actually left such a trick, abandoned the pawn to protect the car, and did it so neatly.

A note was suddenly handed over outside, it was news from the palace, Leng Changxi only glanced at it and said in a deep voice: "Empress Chen committed suicide." ”

Qin Yunuan was shocked, and just looked directly at Leng Changxi.

Leng Changxi took off his mask, when no one was around, he would try his best to get along with Qin Yunuan with his real face, Leng Changxi rubbed his temples: "Do you believe it?" ”

Qin Yunuan pondered for a moment, shook her head and said: "I don't believe it, Empress Chen is such a scheming woman who refuses to admit defeat, she can adopt a child who has no blood relationship with her for her own great cause, promote him, cultivate him, this time she stumbles, she will definitely not give up, there will definitely be other ways to continue to get up, why bother to end her life like this." ”

Leng Changxi nodded, he was very sure of Qin Yunuan's analysis: "That's right, the spies also reported one thing" Leng Changxi was stunned Just before Empress Chen's death, Sima Rui once entered the queen's dormitory on the grounds of serving the last filial piety, and after a stick of incense, the news of the queen's suicide came. ”

"Isn't there anyone who doubts the Third Prince?"

"Yes, but what's the use?" Leng Changxi shook his head indifferently, "The tree is falling and scattered, the emperor already has this attitude towards Queen Chen, Queen Chen has already done such a heinous thing, early death and late death, who let her die, is there a difference?" ”

Infinitely embarrassed, and within a few days, news came from the palace, saying that Concubine Yun's health had improved, and Yang Cairen and other people jointly explained an old past to the emperor, the emperor was furious, and ordered that Queen Chen's body after her death could not be buried in the imperial mausoleum, the mother of a country, but after her death, she could not enter the imperial mausoleum, which is undoubtedly the biggest insult and irony.

When Qin Yunuan heard the news, he was sewing a cloak for Leng Changxi, if it was cold today, Leng Changxi would have to go to the barracks three times a month to inspect it, and after a long journey, Qin Yunuan was worried that he would catch a cold.

"Old?" Qin Yunuan finished the last shot, "What the hell is going on?" ”

It was Leng Shuang who came to report the news, and his tone was flat: "The slave maid only inquired about it, like the case of the lady who committed suicide ten years ago." ”

Ten years ago? Qin Yunuan frowned slightly, the case of the fire in Weiyang Palace that Leng Changxi has been investigating was also ten years ago, will there be any involvement between the two?
