Chapter 8

Zhao, the thirtieth monarch, Yin Chu, was on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month of the year of Jiaxu, at the noon of Bing.

Up and down the country, the whole country mourned.

In the court, there was a lot of vegetarianism.

Empress Dowager Xia was so grief-stricken that she fainted from crying, and was urgently sent to the side hall to receive treatment from the imperial doctor.

And the night deepened, after the ministers left the palace, the newly promoted Empress Dowager Song also timely "sad and irrepressible, almost faint", and was supported by the maids out of the mourning hall and returned to her palace.

Chang'an Junchengqiao lost both his father and his mother on the same day, and he couldn't stop crying, he was already so tired that he fell asleep and was sent to rest.

The Empress Dowager Shouyang saw that Ah Yu's mind did not belong, and she behaved in a trance, afraid that she would be hit by something because she was young, and it would be bad if something happened.

As a biological mother, Song Ji can forget her daughter, but as a nominal grandmother, the Empress Dowager Shouyang wants to sell a good deal to King Xinzhao, so she tells Yin Changying to take Ah Yu to the side hall on the other side to rest.

Yin Changying knelt straight in front of his father's coffin and nodded indispensably.

Ah Yu pretended to be asleep, lay on the bamboo mat, manipulated the power of the wind, listened to the movement in the room of the Empress Dowager Shouyang, and heard the palace people who played the fan whispered: "Queen Mother, when An Quanjun left, he specially ordered the slave to pass the wordβ€”β€”"

"Let him die of this heart." The Empress Dowager Shouyang lazily leaned on the beauty couch, "Now this new king, although he is young, cannot be despised yet. ”

This person from King Zhao's grandmother's generation, the actual age is only twenty-five or sixteen, with slender eyebrows and a slender figure, which is when a woman is the most colorful.

There is no doubt that this is a top beauty.

But what is more outstanding than beauty is undoubtedly her survival wisdom.

When An Guojun was made the crown prince, Zhu Guo sent more than a dozen clan daughters and hundreds of concubines in one go. And she stood out among her sisters, so that An Guojun made her his wife, and when An Guojun doted on her the most, she did not think about giving birth to a son by herself, but listened to Jiang Zhong's persuasion and made Yin Chu the heir.

It is this ability to seize the opportunity that has made her change from one of the ordinary women in the prince's harem to today's Empress Dowager Zhao.

The Empress Dowager Shouyang saw very clearly, her husband was cold-hearted, frail, lustful, and had countless beauties, once she was pregnant and couldn't serve the other party, she would immediately fall out of favor.

At such a big risk, it is still unknown whether he will be able to give birth to a son, whether he will die in the process of giving birth to a son, and whether he will be able to raise his son.

The Empress Dowager Shouyang doesn't like to take such a big risk, whether it was before or now.

Therefore, after Yin Chu became seriously ill, her younger brother An Quanjun accepted money from other sons, and wanted to persuade the Empress Dowager Shouyang to cooperate with the outside and support the brother of the former king to ascend to the throne, but the Empress Dowager Shouyang never let go.

In the final analysis, she is just a queen mother in her life, whether Yin Chu's brother or son ascends the throne, what can be given to her is no different.

If Yin Changying is incompetent, the Empress Dowager Shouyang may consider changing to King Zhao, which is better than Yin Changying being ousted from power, and she, the Queen Mother, will be liquidated.

But she looked at it coldly, although Yin Changying was young, her words and deeds were impeccable throughout the whole process from the serious illness of the first king to his death. Therefore, she said slowly: "Have you noticed that Yin Changying has been kneeling in front of the spirit for five hours from noon to now, without dripping water, not leaving an inch?" ”

The fan palace man is obviously the confidant of the Empress Dowager Shouyang, and he dared to say the truth: "The king's filial piety is commendable." ”

The Empress Dowager Shouyang chuckled and said, "Although the ministers are gone, one eye is firmly fixed on the palace. Tomorrow they will know that as soon as the palace gate falls today, Song Ji will go back to rest, but Yin Changying knelt in front of the first king Ling all night, sleepless, not drinking or eating. You say, what will the generals who have been so favored by the great favor of the previous kings think? ”

First, let the palace people return home and collect the hearts of the palace people; He knelt in front of the king and showed his filial piety.

In this way, the two most important forces of the palace change were all dismantled by the young Zhaowang.

You said that at this time, you are going to launch a palace change, will the palace people listen, or will the generals listen?

The people in the fan palace didn't dare to answer anymore, and the Empress Dowager Shouyang didn't need others to talk much, but she sighed in her heart: Song Ji, life is really good!

Thinking that he was born noble, he tried his best step by step, so he reluctantly found the position of the queen mother, and he was still walking on thin ice.

And Song Ji's status is lowly, if the two met when they were girls, the other party would not even be qualified to be a rough slave for her, but she gave birth to a good son, and her position is as stable as Mount Tai.

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager Shouyang sighed lightly and ordered: "Tomorrow An Quanjun enters the palace, you tell him, choose him and those beautiful girls among the descendants of the eldest brother, and raise them for a few years, and I will give them a great transformation." ”

"Whoa."

The Empress Dowager Shouyang said it so bluntly, what else does Ah Yu not understand?

Her "grandmother" was optimistic about Yin Changying's future, and decided to send the family's girls to the palace in a few years. And the reason why she brought herself to rest is probably not only to show favor to Yin Changying, but also to take over her custody?

After all, Yin Changying is such a sister with the same father and mother, even if she doesn't pay attention to it, she always has to come to see Ah Yu once or twice a year, right? The Empress Dowager Shouyang took the opportunity to see Yin Changying, and there was such an incense love, whether she wanted to intercede for her mother's family, or pushed her maiden girl in front of Yin Changying, she had a saying.

Ah Yu was suddenly a little upset.

She didn't want to have too much contact with any of the "nobles" in the Zhao Palace, and she didn't want to be used as a tool by this group of people at will.

If she had given her a few more years to exercise her abilities and continue to strengthen her physical fitness, she should have been able to escape from the Zhao Palace silently, but now she is too young for her body to keep up with the rapid growth of her spirit, and if she is overloaded, she will have a big problem, which makes her actions extremely difficult.

But she didn't want to accept her fate, because she still had an expectation in her heart - what if her strength grew to a certain level and she could leave this world and find her way home?

She wants to go home, she wants to go home crazily, not Zhao Palace, but the home that originally belonged to "Ah Yu".

At this moment, Ah Yu smelled the disgusting smell again.

Almost between the lightning and flint, Ah Yu put away all the power of the "wind" released from the outside, turned it into an impermeable barrier, wrapped himself firmly, and flattened his breath, trying to calm his heartbeat.

The next moment, the palace people who were waiting for her in the room all fell down silently.

The smell grew heavier and heavier, but it quickly moved away, as if the monster had just passed by and left immediately.

Ah Yu hesitated for a moment, but still got up from the seat, wrapped his feet with the "wind", walked carefully to the door, and then used the power of the "wind" to carefully push the door open.

The whole time, she avoided making any noise on her own.

Then, she found that there were no more awake people in this palace, and the wooden corridor was full of dark green slime, which derived all the way to the compound road, and the end of the compound road was the palace where the mourning hall was located!

Standing at the highest point of the compound road, looking from a distance, he saw that the mourning hall was brightly lit, but the attendants and palace people who should have been guarding outside the hall were all lying on the ground at this moment!

And the monster, completely humanoid and on all fours, rushed into the temple like lightning!
