The old eunuch on duty in the Xingqing Hall knelt and kowtowed with a face like dirt: "Niangniang, the slave is a capital crime!" ”

Nian Yun glanced at the main hall, only to see Xiao Meiyi with a cloth stuffed in her mouth, tied up and thrown to the ground by several sturdy palace maids and eunuchs, unkempt and embarrassed, and her mouth was still whining.

This former twenty-eight beauties, in the Daming Palace, have only been in the end of the month, and they have become such a person who is not expensive or expensive. Nian Yun sighed in his heart, Daming Palace is really a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones.

Of course, she is also an accomplice, and she has long become a vicious woman who eats people and does not spit out bones.

In the end, it was a woman who had been spoiled for some time, Li Chun felt pity and said, "Take out the cloth in her mouth first." ”

As soon as she removed the cloth that gagged her mouth, she screamed again: "There are ghosts, there are dead people, help......"

Li Chun frowned, and a palace maid hurriedly plugged her mouth again.

Nian Yun glanced at Xiao Meiyi, who was paralyzed on the ground, and a cool smile pulled out from the corner of her mouth.

This poor Xiao Cairen was originally timid and afraid of the dark, but this time he came to Xingqing Hall and saw things that he shouldn't see, but he was afraid that he was already frightened crazy at this time.

Above the main hall, the roast mutton that had changed its flavor, Xiao Cairen had already guessed the right answer at the last moment.

Emperor Yan has been driving for more than two months, although she has been secretly freezing the body of Emperor Taishang with ice cubes, and also using peppercorns and rosin to dispel the smell, it is winter, and it is still difficult to protect the body for more than two months**, exuding an unpleasant smell.

Therefore, she and Li Chun discussed an idea, following the example of Qin Shi Huang who died on the way to the south, Zhao Gao bought fish and shrimp along the way, and deliberately served a dish of roast mutton with a bad taste when the emperor had just left. In this way, everyone was far apart, and if the emperor asked for some peculiar smell after leaving, it could also be attributed to the smell left by roast mutton.

Li Chun sighed heavily, "It's rare to have a person who knows cold and warm......"

Nianyun stood beside him and didn't speak, the dim lights in the hall cast a shadow on her face, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.

He felt tired, reached out to support his head, and stood up: "Concubine, this harem matter is still left to you to deal with, I want to go back to Daming Palace." ”

Nian Yun lowered his head and replied "yes", hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "I am afraid that this matter will hinder the reputation of His Majesty for thousands of generations......

Li Chun paused, and did not look back, but seemed to have spent a great deal of effort to make up his mind: "I know, you can find a reason to deal with it." ”

Of course he understood what she meant, she was saying that Mei Yi's life could not be spared.

Since you can't stay, it doesn't matter how it ends.

He had planned to treat her well, and from the encounter in the plum grove by the pool, when he met her, he thought that his life was about to bloom again. The girl's lively figure was still shaking in front of him, but he had to give the order to let her die.

Or maybe it's her life.

He strode out of the depressing and uncomfortable Xingqing Palace, this entire Xingqing Palace, he didn't want to stay for a moment, there were too many painful memories here, he couldn't bear to recall. Here, he is no longer a good son, or even a good husband.

And his accomplice still stayed in the Xingqing Hall at this time, and after once again confirming that the Xingqing Hall had been blocked well enough, he ordered someone to remove the cloth from Xiao Meiyi's mouth.

Xiao Meiyi was a little quiet at this time, but she still struggled hard: "Your Majesty save me!" ”

Nianyun looked at her coldly, she shouted a few words, and found that everyone was looking at her, and she saw clearly that it was the concubine Niangniang sitting in front of her, and suddenly cried: "The Emperor Taishang has died, Guo Nianyun, did you do it, you killed the Emperor, you poisonous woman, I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty!" ”

Nian Yun took a sip of tea: "Didn't you already see Your Majesty, don't you remember?" Xiao Meiyi, Your Majesty handed you over to the palace for disposal, didn't you hear? ”

Xiao Meiyi seemed to be a little sober, and looked at her in amazement when she heard the words: "No, it's impossible, Your Majesty said that you will protect me for the rest of my life......"

The sea vows really don't need money.

Nian Yun smiled coldly: "Protecting you for the rest of your life? Your Majesty also said that you will protect this palace for the rest of your life, but unfortunately, what Your Majesty wants to protect the most is himself! He used to protect this palace because it could please him, and now he protects you because you can please him temporarily! ”

"No......" Xiao Meiyi subconsciously shook her head, "No......"

Nian Yun sneered: "Just based on what you just said, in front of so many people in Xingqing Palace, you should die a hundred times!" ”

Xiao Mei recalled the terrifying scene just now, and her consciousness was a little unclear: "Emperor Taishang, you murdered the Emperor, you ......"

Nianyun laughed loudly: "The Emperor is fine, the Emperor is just sick, you bold demon concubine, trespassed into the Xingqing Palace, disturbed the Emperor, and dared to curse the Emperor!" ”

Xiao Meiyi didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and whimpered: "I don't have a curse, you can go and see for yourself, the warm pavilion is ...... The Emperor is really......"

Nian Yun just sneered.

This is the game she set, but Xiao Meiyi can't live because of her own sin.

How smart Li Chun is, if she takes the initiative to set up a situation to frame Xiao Meiyi, the person Li Chun is holding on to the tip of her heart at this time is Xiao Meiyi, and she will definitely believe Xiao Meiyi more, she will only backfire.

But Li Chun has his untouchable bottom line, unless Xiao Meiyi challenges his bottom line, he will be ruthless to get rid of her regardless of his children's personal feelings.

His bottom line is his prestige and dignity as an emperor.

If Xiao Meiyi is a bold person, after discovering this big secret, she unknowingly withdraws from the Xingqing Palace, and continues to eat and drink as if nothing happened, it will be fine, but this Xiao Meiyi's timidity has been calculated by her, and in the end she still deliberately put her together.

In this chess game of Daming Palace, she eliminated another opponent, but she didn't feel that she had won at all.

They are all losers, maybe from the moment she walked into Daming Palace, she had already lost Li Chun's heart.

She stood up and looked at Xiao Meiyi on the ground, her mood was already flattened: "Xiao Cairen was stunned, and he fell into the dragon pool, so that's it." ”

Xiao Meiyi seemed to understand some of the meaning of her words after a while, and screamed: "Guo Nianyun, you-will be punished by heaven-"

Heaven damned, who can? What kind of crime is the most heinous, and what kind of crime is condemned by heaven?

Maybe what Li Chun has done in the past year is not the behavior of a righteous gentleman, but she can fully understand it, and even she is an accomplice. Because, all this is not bad for all the people in the world, and even from a certain point of view, Li Chun can still be regarded as a good emperor!

Does God want to condemn a careerist who kills his father and ancestors, seizes power and usurps the throne, or will he praise a generation of emperors who sleep at night, love the government and the people, and spend their efforts for the welfare of the society?

In this palace, those who can survive are those who deserve to be damned.

The next day, the talented Xiao Shi fell into the dragon pool due to a sudden loss of heart, and His Majesty took pity on him and posthumously named him a four-grade beauty. The Xiao family also received a certain amount of praise and gave a few inconsequential loose officials.

When His Majesty saw Xiao Meiren's body, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and the people in Daming Palace said that His Majesty was really affectionate to Xiao Meiren.

No, it's not enough. Xiao Meiyi is not ambitious, even if she dies, she should not get what she wants.

So in the evening of the same day, Imperial Doctor Liang personally came to ask for the pulse of His Majesty the Emperor, and found in the body of His Majesty the Emperor, which had long been clearly identified by the Shang Pharmacy as a chronic poisoning person.

Li Chun was a little stunned: "Old man Liang, are you sure this is a cold food powder, not an elixir for self-nourishment?" ”

Imperial Doctor Liang nodded very affirmatively: "The old man doesn't dare to bully the king." ”

Li Chun still didn't believe it, and Imperial Doctor Liang said: "Who coaxed Your Majesty to take this harmful thing, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, go and search it again." ”

Li Chun's eyes were almost lit with black flames, and a sentence burst out from between his teeth: "Come on, look at the cloud tower!" ”

Liufu immediately took someone to search, and after a while, he found a box of pills from Xiao Meiren's relics, which she had given Li Chun in her prime.

Imperial Doctor Liang took the pill, crushed it, smelled it, checked it carefully, and said with great certainty: "Your Majesty, this is the cold food powder." ”

"Cold food scattered!" Li Chun suddenly became angry, it turned out that the girl he liked, all the gentleness and lingering were just appearances, if she was just power, it was status!

In that case, there is no need to give her anything!

Li Chunlongyan was furious, and immediately abolished Xiao Meiren, who had just been posthumously sealed, as a concubine, and recovered the holy decree that had just been canonized in the Xiao family, and even ordered someone to reprimand the Xiao family.

After all, someone in Xingqing Palace heard the crazy Xiao clan shouting out the words that the Emperor Taishang had died, so there was no need to hide it anymore.

On the same day, that is, on the nineteenth day of the first month of the first year of Yuanhe, Emperor Li Yu died.

The next day, in the Daming Palace Hanyuan Hall funeral, to the great sage of the great sage of the Emperor Xiao, buried in Fengling, the temple number is Shunzong. Empress Wang was respected as the queen mother, and all the princesses of Xingqing Palace were renamed concubines.

The emperor mourned for the death of the emperor, and boycotted the dynasty for three days, ordering the whole country to wear filial piety and suspend all entertainment activities, which was for the national mourning.

Li Chun stood alone on the steps of the Zichen Palace, dressed in plain clothes, and looked at the Penglai Hall for a long time without saying a word.

In the end, it turned out that he had taken a big detour.

Nian Yun was also dressed in plain clothes, with a pair of silver hairpins simply inserted on his head, and he came with four palace maids behind him.

"Your Majesty, during the period of national mourning, the palace will be vegetarian for three days, this is the recipe of the Zichen Palace, please take a look at ......it Your Majesty."

Li Chun suddenly felt a sour feeling in his eyes, strode up, and took Nianyun in his arms: "Nianyun, by my side, you are still the only one who accompanies me......"
