Your Majesty was about to be annoyed to death by the queen for the past two days because of the matter of Marquis Jingyuan, and now the harem did not dare to enter, and he rested in the Chengqian Palace after the criticism. The eunuch Xu An hurriedly entered the inner hall and called twice, "Your Majesty!" Your Majesty! ”

The emperor rubbed his head and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”

"The old marquis of Jingyuan Mansion is gone!"

After hearing a few words from the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion, the emperor couldn't wait to faint on the spot, and when he heard that the old marquis was gone, he rubbed it and sat up from the couch, lifted the curtain and shouted, "What did you say?" ”

Xu An was in tears, and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty has to hold on, the old Jingyuan Marquis is gone!" ”

The emperor's head was coaxed, he closed his eyes as if he was trying to suppress his emotions, and only after a long time did he ask in a hoarse voice, "Why didn't the old marquis have it?" ”

Xu An handed over an envelope and said, "The old marquis took on the case of robbing the tribute, and left a confession to cut himself!" ”

The emperor gritted his teeth, and a line of tears slipped down the corners of his eyes.

At this time, the door of the harem was knocked open, and a woman who looked like a woman hurriedly walked towards the queen's Kunning Palace.

The palace maid Zhiyuan entered the inner hall and said, "Queen Mother, something happened to the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion!" ”

Since Marquis Jingyuan was imprisoned, the queen has been sleeping unsteadily in the past few days, waking up when there is any wind and grass, and she can't hear these words.

At first glance, when she heard the palace maid's report, she reprimanded, "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

"The queen mother, the old marquis is gone!" Zhiyuan can't take care of much.

The queen was startled, got out of bed barefoot, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Be careful of this palace to punish your crimes, Your Majesty has not yet made an order, who dares to touch the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion? ”

Zhiyuan hurriedly took her shoes and said, "The queen is mourning, Mrs. Hou is waiting for you in the main hall right now!" ”

The queen's head was buzzing, she put on her shoes indiscriminately, put on a dress and went out, there was no Mrs. Hou in the main hall, only a middle-aged woman who looked like a mother-in-law.

The queen's heart was a little relieved, but with tears in her eyes, the corners of her mouth raised, and said, "This palace said that you are talking nonsense, where is your sister-in-law?" ”

The woman turned around when she heard the voice, it was none other than Mrs. Jingyuanhou.

The queen's heart was relieved, and she took a step back suddenly, and said in disbelief, "Sister-in-law......"

There was a bad premonition in her heart, no matter how stupid and stupid she was, she also knew that Mrs. Jingyuan should not enter the palace at this time, let alone enter the palace dressed as a servant.

Mrs. Jingyuan Marquis didn't give her a chance to breathe, and took two steps forward, "Queen Mother, my father is gone!" ”

The queen's brain thuded, and her body, which had been held for many days, could no longer withstand the blow, and slowly fell into Zhiyuan's arms.

Mrs. Jingyuan Hou took two steps forward to support the person, Xu is eagerness, her voice changed tone, and she said sharply, "Queen Mother, you can't faint at this time!" ”

After saying that, she patted the queen's face fiercely, and the queen's half-squinted eyes opened, and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't Daddy?" ”

Mrs. Jingyuan Marquis sighed and said, "My father took all the charges and died by himself, and now the Hou Ye is still in prison, and the person who reported the news has entered the Chengqian Palace, and the queen should take advantage of this gap to beg His Majesty to release the Hou Ye!" ”

"Good!" The queen wiped away her tears, stood up, and was about to go out.

"Is the Queen Mother going to beg Your Majesty like this?" Mrs. Jingyuan Hou looked at her with hatred that iron could not be made of steel.

The queen's footsteps paused, didn't her sister-in-law say that she should strike while the iron was hot?

"Zhiyuan, go prepare a set of plain clothes and comb the queen's hair in a simple bun!" Mrs. Jingyuan gave the order, so she pulled the queen into the inner hall, and let the queen go after some instructions.

His Majesty was in the midst of his grief, when the Queen arrived.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The concubine heard about the concubine's father...... Father, she ......" said that tears fell like beads with broken threads, the queen has been in the middle palace for many years, over the years, it is rare to see her crying, and His Majesty is a little unbearable to see it.

At this time, she is not a queen, but a woman who has lost a loved one.

"Queen's Day condolences!" The emperor's voice was hoarse.

The queen slowly leaned into her arms and sobbed lowly, "Your Majesty, my father cut himself in order to apologize for the fourth brother, how could the concubine have such an unfilial brother, my father was disabled in the south many years ago, and the concubine thought that he could live in peace and enjoy the joy of his children and grandchildren around his knees. ”

Saying that, the queen gently pounded the emperor's heart, vented the resentment in her heart, and cried like a girl.

"I knew that this was the case, it was better to let the fourth brother die with the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother back then, and it could be regarded as loyal to Your Majesty, so as not to stigmat......ize the martyrdom of the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion because of him alone."

The emperor closed his eyes, and a string of tears slipped from the corners of his eyes and dripped onto the queen's forehead.

The queen sniffed and said, "My father has been refusing to say how the eldest brother died all these years, and your majesty was also in the south back then, do you know a thing or two?" If the eldest brother is still alive, how could the title of Marquis of Jingyuan fall on the head of the fourth brother, instead of watching the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion infamy, the concubine might as well be killed and follow her father! ”

Saying that the queen was about to hit the pillar, the emperor pulled her back into his arms, patted her back, and said, "Several of your brothers died because of me, don't worry, even if it is in the face of the old marquis and your brothers, I will not let the Marquis of Jingyuan be infamous on its back!" ”

The queen closed her eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly collapsed into the emperor's arms.

ordered someone to send the queen back to Kunning Palace, and the queen mother rushed to hear the sound.

The emperor rubbed his forehead and said, "Why is the queen mother here?" ”

The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "The Queen Mother heard that the old Marquis Jingyuan is gone, and the Empress must have come to make trouble with Your Majesty again, so the mourning family will come to see it, I don't know what Your Majesty plans to do with Marquis Jingyuan." ”

The emperor pinched his forehead fiercely, and said with a sigh of relief, "The queen mother still remembers that when the south left the country to invade my soil, the southern border rioted, and the son was still a prince at that time, and the old Marquis Jingyuan blocked a sword for me, and he was disabled for life." ”

The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "The mourning family remembers. ”

"But the queen mother didn't know that if it weren't for the sons' eagerness to make contributions and fall into the trap of the enemy, the queen's brothers would not have died, they died for me, and I couldn't ......"

The Empress Dowager sighed and asked again, "Then what does Your Majesty plan to do?" ”

The emperor closed his eyes, and said a little unbearably, "The favor of the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion can't help but be returned, isn't there still Wenchangbo Mansion?" ”

The Empress Dowager sighed again, it was really the same as she thought, she sorted out her thoughts and said, "Your Majesty only remembers the kindness of the Marquis of Jingyuan, but does you still remember the concubine of Anle?" ”

"I remember!" The emperor looked at the Queen Mother suspiciously, and wondered why the Queen Mother mentioned Princess Anle's concubine at this time.
