Chapter 34: Death

Emperor Guangsheng did not go to court for three consecutive days, until the day of the day, the palace suddenly sounded the death knell, and the queen summoned all the princes and ministers and princes into the palace as the mother of the country.

In the Chengde Palace, there was a lot of vegetarianism, and the queen sat on the top seat, hiding her face and crying, choking and saying: "Now that the emperor has died, the court is unstable, and everyone is called here to discuss the new monarch." ”

The ministers below were still in the shock of the sudden death of the Light Saint Emperor, and when they heard the queen's words, they had a lot of discussions.

"How could the emperor die suddenly."

"yes, isn't it a wind chill? Why is it so powerful. ”

"I'm afraid there's something wrong."

"What's so strange about it is just destiny." Fu Guogong glanced at the official beside him, and said: "If the prince dies today, the crown prince should succeed to the throne." ”

Yushi took a step forward and sneered: "Prince? Which prince, after I abolished the prince, there is no prince yet. ”

Fu Guogong sneered, "Even so, you should set up a son-in-law." ”

"There are no dynasties and generations that have abolished the crown prince to succeed to the throne, and the auxiliary prince wants to violate the etiquette law?" Yushi is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is loud, "Since the son-in-law cannot inherit, then the eldest son is in line with the patriarchal law and should be established as the new king." ”

"You ......" Fu Guogong pointed to the imperial history, about to teach him a lesson, but was interrupted by the queen, "The first emperor is newly mourned, how can you be noisy." ”

The two of them each took a step back, stood respectfully down, and said no more.

"Since the choice of the new monarch cannot be established, we will postpone the discussion." The queen gave the envoy of the auxiliary country a look, and said: "The most important thing at the moment is the formulation of the name of the former emperor, as well as the funeral ceremony. ”

The queen left the minister in the Chengde Hall to discuss, and then summoned the princes to the Xuanlin Palace, saying: The first emperor died, and the prince should be filial piety in front of the spirit.

The Holy Emperor of Light had already changed into a dragon-patterned shroud from the inner servant and lay straight on the dragon couch, Xiao Wei knelt down early, and Xiao Huai knelt in front of the couch as soon as he entered, crying with a handful of snot and tears, "Father, how can you be willing to leave your sons." ”

Xiao Mo looked at the Light Saint Emperor on the couch, his heart was unusually calm, he just knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"The patriarchal law has clouds, and it collapses, and its filial piety is three days, and the princes will keep filial piety here for three days." The queen glanced at Xiao Mo and went back to her palace.

"Cuilan, how is the layout in the palace?" The queen removed the white flower from her head and replaced it with a hairpin.

"Everything is in order."

"By the way, where did King Qi go?" The queen pressed her forehead, she had not rested well for a few days, her spirit was not good, and her eyes were a little black

Cuilan peeled an egg, carefully rolled her eyes for the queen, and said, "I was sent by King Heng to guard the border." ”

"Xiao Mo is really deep in the city, and sending Xiao Xun at this time is tantamount to increasing his bargaining chips for the throne." Although the queen is in the harem, she has also heard about the previous dynasty, although Xiao Mo was robbed of military power, but there are many cronies on the border, as soon as Xiao Xun goes, the army is firmly in his hands.

"Does the mother have a solution?"

The queen smiled at the corner of her mouth and said, "Go and bring Concubine De, and then pass on King Heng." ”

After a short time, Concubine De was brought in.

"Concubine De, I haven't seen you for many years, but you are a lot older." The queen scoffed.

"The concubine has lived in the Buddha Hall, so she is naturally not as beautiful as the queen." Concubine De lowered her eyes, and her heart was already full of hatred.

The queen slapped Concubine De in the face, Concubine De's body was unstable, so she fell to the ground, looking at the embarrassed people on the ground, the queen's heart was happy, "The emperor is dead, this palace is the queen mother, you are like an ant, let me trample on it." ”

Concubine De didn't care about the hot pain on her cheeks, she only smiled and said: "Rao is so, you are still not as good as the imperial concubine, although she was framed by you to death, but her son is angry, has great military achievements, and is deeply loved." ”

The queen looked outside the hall and saw that Cuilan was back, and there was a figure behind her, so she raised her voice and said, "Back then, if you hadn't put a man's thing in the imperial concubine's bedroom, how could the emperor be furious and give her an order." ”

Concubine De's eyes were full of resentment, and she glared straight at the queen, "It's not that you instigated it, I mistrusted you." ”

"Instigation? It's you who are jealous, jealous that she is deeply favored by the emperor and has a son, otherwise who can control you. The queen looked at the door of the hall, and the shadow of a person was reflected on the shiny wooden board, and this shadow shook incessantly, and it was obvious that the people behind the door were already angry.

The queen smiled with satisfaction, left Concubine De on the ground, and walked out of the hall, and then asked people to go to Qingning Palace to pass Qinglan to come.

Concubine De fell to the ground, sobbing incessantly, not noticing that there was already someone standing behind her.

"It's your mother." Xiao Mo clenched his fists, and his eyes burned with anger, threatening to annihilate everything around him.

"I'm sorry." Concubine De heard the voice, and knew that the person behind her was Xiao Mo, and her heart was full of remorse.

Xiao Mo pulled up Concubine De, looked straight at her, his eyes were scarlet, and asked, "You are so good friends with your mother, why do you want to hurt her!"

Concubine De shook her head, tears slipping from the corners of her eyes, "I'm sorry for my sister." As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and begged: "Please treat Xun'er well in the future, and I will have no regrets when I die." ”

Before Xiao Mo could react, Concubine De got up, ran straight to the desk, and slammed her head hard, and suddenly blood splattered, stinging Xiao Mo's eyes.

"!" Qinglan just stepped into the hall, and saw Concubine De get up from the ground and hit the desk headlong, and walked to Concubine De's side, picked up Concubine De, and cried, "Niangniang, you can't have anything." ”

No matter how Qinglan shook and shouted, Concubine De was already out of breath, Xiao Mo looked at the paralyzed Concubine De, frowned, at this moment, the anger in his heart had faded, only sadness remained, don't open his eyes, and slowly left.

Seeing this, Cuilan in the shadows hurriedly stepped forward and pretended to be sad: "Now that Concubine De is forced to die, King Qi hasn't even seen her for the last time, it's really pitiful." ”

Qinglan wiped her tears and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Cuilan pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes before she said: "King Heng was afraid that King Qi would hinder his path to the emperor, so he wanted to threaten Concubine De, but Concubine De did not comply, so she died." ”

"That's exactly what happened." Qinglan's tears fell down, tears dripped into her clothes, and she was blown by the wind outside the door, and it was cold to the bone.

"Concubine De is really wronged." Qinglan also began to sob, eager to accompany Concubine De to death.

Qinglan straightened the blood-soaked hair on Concubine De's forehead, tidied up her clothes, and muttered, "Don't be afraid, Niangniang, the slave will avenge you." ”

That night, Qinglan went to the border overnight under the arrangement of the queen, and at this time, the palace was already full of troops, in addition to the queen's people, there were also people secretly arranged by Xiao Huai.

"Master, our people have already mixed in." The black shadow attached to Xiao Huai's ear, and he made his own deployment one by one.

"Very good, if the queen makes any moves, let her compete with Xiao Mo's sandpiper." Xiao Huai had a gloomy smile on his face, all these years, he had been low, it was time to raise his eyebrows.

The black shadow jumped and disappeared into the night, and this night was another sleepless night.
