Chapter Seventy-Nine: Beaten
Zhao Yun watched the sixteen princes fall asleep, then closed the door of the palace and left here lightly.
In the dormitory, Zhao Yun asked Guo Ming's father and son, the man in black, and the trusted imperial doctor to stay and check the poison that Zhao Kuo gave him for him.
"Please stretch out your arm." The imperial physician spoke first.
Zhao Yun handed his right hand in front of the person, "The emperor has been poisoned for a long time, I'm afraid it's not easy to treat." ”
"No matter what method you use, you must save the emperor's life." The man in black followed Zhao Yun for a long time, and he was very affectionate, and he was very impatient to listen to the words of the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor said that he did his best, and whether he could prolong Zhao Yun's life depended on the will of heaven.
The man in black grabbed the imperial doctor, "What I want is not to prolong, but to be cured, you can't understand people, do you?" ”
Although Guo Ming's father and son led the troops to fight, they also knew that in the face of the scholars, their set would not work, so the man in black retreated to the side first.
"Imperial doctor, don't be like him, we are all rough people, but the emperor has just died, everything is in ruins, the emperor is the top priority, and there is no room for failure." Guo Ming's father and son went over and over to lay out the facts with him and reason.
The imperial doctor naturally knows the profound meanings contained in it, "Please rest assured, Lord Guo, the minister will read the medical book day and night when he goes back, there will always be a way, before that, the minister will use acupuncture to delay the poison for you." ”
"In that case, then it will be bothering the imperial doctor." Zhao Yun took the lead in thanking him.
The imperial doctor was busy waving his hands and saying that he didn't dare, and then exited the dormitory.
The man in black couldn't sit still, "The minister will go to the heavenly prison now to ask Zhao Kuo for the antidote." ”
"Don't be impatient, what's the use of you going now? Will Zhao Kuo hand over the antidote to you so peacefully? Guo Ming and his son stopped the man in black.
The man in black paced back and forth, "What then?" Counting on the Imperial Doctor? When he comes up with a way, he still doesn't know that the Year of the Monkey is the month of the horse, will the emperor's body be able to hold up at that time? ”
"Life and death are in the sky, I don't care how long I can sit on the dragon chair, as long as the world is safe, when the sixteenth prince grows up a little, I will give him the Zen position." Zhao Yun had already prepared for the worst.
The man in black and Guo Ming's father and son were deeply touched.
Although Zhao Yun is ambitious, the most different thing between him and Zhao Kuo is that he puts Jiangshan Sheji and the people of Li in the first place, and his personal gains and losses are always second.
In the Buddhist hall, Concubine Min has taken off her brocade clothes and changed into plain clothes, kneeling on the futon, looking very pious and burning incense.
Lin Yuan wanted to take one last look at her, and the people of the Lao Palace reported.
Concubine Min didn't get up, "Let Miss Lin come in." ”
Lin Yuan followed the palace people into the palace and performed a blessing ceremony, she still remembered the scene of the first meeting with Concubine Min, it is undeniable that she is really a beauty.
"The folk girl came to deliver freshly steamed snacks to the concubine." Lin Yuan lifted the food box he brought and placed it on the coffee table one by one.
Concubine Min looked at it and twisted one out of her hand, "It's still the same as before, but it's already a sea of vicissitudes, and things are not people." ”
Concubine Min's state of mind is also very different from before, and taking refuge in my Buddha may be the best destination.
"Niangniang is still young, and the new emperor will not treat you badly." Lin Yuan relieved Concubine Min.
Concubine Min Guifei lit the three incense sticks in her hand and put them in the incense burner in front of her, "Yes, the emperor used to favor me so much, and even arranged the rest of my life properly, I have nothing to be dissatisfied with, if Xiao Qi is still here, how good it would be." ”
The Seventh Prince is the pain of Concubine Min's life, the queen has been deposed in the cold palace, and Zhao Kuo has also been put in prison, and it seems that she has been punished, but her child will never come back.
"Niangniang, if the Seventh Prince is knowledgeable, he won't want to see you sad for him." Seeing Concubine Min like this, Lin Yuan felt uncomfortable.
She has never been a mother, and she doesn't know what kind of state of mind it is, but just looking at her, she thinks of her modern relatives, who should also be like Concubine Min.
Concubine Min wiped away her tears, "Lin Kite, you are really good at talking. ”
"The mother has won the prize." Lin Kite is very modest.
Concubine Min thought of what she had said to Zhao Yun before, "If you have any misunderstanding with the emperor, you must not keep it in your heart, the two of you always need to communicate with each other." ”
"Mother, he doesn't like me anymore." Lin Yuan smiled bitterly.
Concubine Min wanted to tell Lin Yuan the truth, and swallowed it back raw, after all, this is a matter between the two of them, she is an outsider, and she is not good at talking.
However, he still kindly told Lin Kite, "What you see with your eyes may not be true, if you still want to redeem it, you might as well do your best to make a last effort." ”
The day of the emperor's funeral is approaching, and the queen is dressed in plain clothes and appears on the funeral.
"The queen mother, please go back, this occasion is not suitable for your current status." The guards did not let the queen in.
Chunmei rebuked them, "What's inappropriate? The queen mother has never changed nominally to the outside world, you dog minions, all of you dodge. ”
"Biting dogs don't bark, but the queen has a good dog." Concubine Min came late from the other side.
The queen and Concubine Min looked at each other, "The concubine is no longer what it used to be, and it feels a little more pleasing to the eye now." ”
Of course, Concubine Min knew what the queen meant, in the past, when the emperor was still there, every time she appeared, she was full of jewels, and she was the most expensive thing all over her body, and everyone in the six palaces looked sideways, there was jealousy, envy, and of course praise.
"The queen is too, but what they said is also good, the emperor may not want to see you, especially when you acquiesce in Zhao Kuo's troubles, and he has a lot of grievances against you." Concubine Min does not leave her head behind.
The queen's body shook slightly, and Chunmei supported her in time, so that she was unwilling to hide it just right, "Even so, this palace is also the queen that the former emperor is marrying." ”
"A queen who has been deposed in the cold palace? Mother, you really enlighten yourself. "Concubine Min is not afraid.
The voice of the little eunuch sounded, "The first emperor raised the coffin." ”
The Empress and Concubine Min and other concubines were lined up on either side.
Their faces are full of tears, some are for the emperor, some are worried about their future fate, the ancestral system is cloudy: those who have no heirs need to be buried, and those who have children can go to the fiefdom and enjoy the offerings.
The cry of the women is spread to ten, and ten to hundred.
"Wait a minute." The queen told the little eunuch to stop.
The little eunuch didn't understand what the queen meant, "Niangniang, don't embarrass me, if you delay in time, the emperor can't spare me." ”
"Hongu told you to wait." The queen is still full of the majesty of the former lord of the six palaces.
The queen said in front of the ministers, "This palace is the queen, the crown prince made a big mistake, and I have no way to teach my son, but he is one of the few two princes in the world besides the sixteen princes." ”
"Even so, it can't annihilate the mistakes committed by the crown prince." Concubine Min spoke to restrain the queen.
The queen was not in a hurry, "Concubine Min is right, meritorious service should be rewarded, and there should be punishment, this palace is the biological mother of the prince, and his fault will be borne by this palace." ”
Concubine Min listened quietly, just waiting to see what tricks the queen was going to play.
Who expected that the queen would crash into the coffin in front of everyone, and the speed was so fast that people didn't have time to react.
Concubine Min froze in place.
"Go and get the Imperial Doctor." Concubine Min sent someone to inform Zhao Yun.
When Zhao Yun arrived, the queen had barely saved her last breath.
"Kuo'er is also the blood of the former emperor, and he is also your nephew, this palace uses his life to calm your anger, and begs you to spare him a way to live." It is rare for the queen to ask for help, but it is actually in such a scene.
This is not only to Zhao Yun, but also to Concubine Min behind him.
Concubine Min Guifei didn't look over, "The cause of death of the Seventh Prince is inseparable from Zhao Kuo, you want to exchange your life for my son, don't dream." ”
"Your Majesty, are you the same?" The queen was not surprised at all by Concubine Min's words, and then faced Zhao Yun.
The queen is sure to come out in front of everyone, if Zhao Yun does not agree, his position as the new emperor is also in jeopardy, and he will have to carry it for the rest of his life to eradicate the reputation of dissidents.
Zhao Yun stared at the dying queen, "Niangniang has such a deep plan, for the sake of a rebel, she is willing to leave behind the stability of the future generations." ”
"This palace has lived to this time, which is considered enough, and when you become a parent, you will understand what I do." There are words in the queen's words.
Concubine Min wanted to tell Zhao Yun that raising tigers was a problem, absolutely not.
The queen held Chunmei's hand tightly and pressed very hard, "Don't forget what you promised to this palace." ”
"The slave always remembers." Chunmei responded.
Concubine Min and Zhao Yun stepped out of Kunning Palace, "Your Majesty, do you really want to let Zhao Kuo go?" ”
"The matter has come to this point, and all the civil and military officials are watching, what can I do?" Zhao Yun was unwilling to bear a reputation that could not tolerate the first prince.
Concubine Min Guifei has a different opinion, "If the emperor thinks that this matter can't come forward, then the palace will do it, and get rid of Zhao Kuo unconsciously." ”
"No, Concubine Min." Zhao Yun agreed to the queen, and there was absolutely no reason to regret it.
Concubine Min is already a surviving person, "The emperor doesn't have to worry about this matter, this palace will clear the obstacles for you." ”
Concubine Min and Zhao Yun went against each other.
The prince in the prison learned that the queen had died, and kept knocking on the wall, wanting to go out to see the queen mother's body for the last time.
The matter was reported to Zhao Yun by the prison guards.
"You go and bring him out." Zhao Yun ordered to go down.
After nightfall, Zhao Kuo came to the place where the body of the emperor and queen was parked.
The body of the emperor and queen is still alive, as if he is alive, and even after the death of the royal people, there will be no decay.
Zhao Kuo knelt in front of the queen, "Queen Mother, why are you so stupid?" ”
The queen originally had a way to live, even if she entered the cold palace, food, clothing, housing and transportation were no different from before.
It's just that the queen loves her son.
