Chapter 749: It's About Time
Jin Yuyan was designated as the concubine of the fifth prince, she was still very happy, and after the prince registered, she would be the princess, with a high status and leisure.
Qi Xiashui and Qi Xialu sisters are also very happy, because they were not selected, the two of them are not suitable to be princesses, their abilities are enough, but one is lively and the other is cold, if they are bound by a set of rules in the palace, they will definitely be uncomfortable.
As the days entered the wax moon, the atmosphere in the palace became more and more tense, because Feng Yun was suffering from the cold, his body was getting worse and worse, coughing and coughing, coughing up blood, and the imperial doctor diagnosed it, and it was only three or five months.
The prince came more diligently, in addition to serving Feng Yunzheng, he also worked hard to study political affairs and read the folds.
The atmosphere of the harem is becoming more and more urgent, after all, there are many concubines in the harem who have not given birth to children, and their future is very slim. Otherwise, you will have to wait for the emperor to guard the imperial mausoleum after going up, so that you will be fixed there for the rest of your life, and it is no different from being lonely in a place like the nunnery.
Empress Dowager Shi went to Queen Zhou and told her about this, after all, she had to take precautions.
"Should I ask the emperor about this?" Empress Zhou looked directly at Empress Dowager Shi and said.
"Can't ask." Empress Dowager Shi shook her head and said, "Isn't it like looking forward to the emperor's death now, those concubines can have a good place to go." β
"What does the Queen Mother think?" Empress Zhou asked.
"Ask them what they mean, do they want to leave the palace or stay in the palace." Empress Dowager Shi sighed and said, "They are all women, and they don't have children yet, it's not easy." β
"Erchen knows." The expression on Queen Zhou's face was a little moved, "The queen mother is kind, those concubines don't know how moved they will be when they know about it." β
Empress Dowager Shi only gave two choices, so things like guarding the emperor's mausoleum and martyrdom would definitely not happen, and Empress Zhou was a little moved.
She has always been fair and just, some of the concubines in the harem are still very respectful to themselves regardless of their grade, speaking of which, the time spent with them is much longer than that with the emperor, people are not grass and trees, and there is no conflict of interest, it is very normal to have friendship, and of course Queen Zhou does not want their future to be bleak.
This year's Chinese New Year is the most unflavored, the emperor is seriously ill, the whole capital is simply celebrating the festival, there are very few people visiting relatives and friends, and activities such as inviting opera troupes have been directly canceled, and even the Lantern Festival is not held.
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Feng Yunmo entered the palace and went to see Feng Yunzheng, people can no longer see it, the weight is very thin, and it looks like the days are numbered.
Empress Dowager Shi left Feng Yunmo to live in the palace, and lived until the Lantern Festival and then left the palace, Feng Yunmo agreed, in addition to accompanying Empress Dowager Shi, he went to visit Feng Yunzheng every day.
On the sixteenth day of the first month, Feng Yunmo and Empress Dowager Shi invited An out of the palace, and Empress Dowager Shi sat for a while to see Feng Yunzheng.
When Empress Dowager Shi arrived, Feng Yunzheng hadn't woken up yet, Empress Dowager Shi sat on the stool next to the bed, looking at Feng Yunzheng intently, looking older than herself, hey, Empress Dowager Shi couldn't remember what Feng Yunzheng looked like when she was a child.
Empress Dowager Shi raised her hand and stroked Feng Yunzheng's cheek, her eyes showed determination, and it was time for her to do so.
"The Queen Mother."
A low call made Empress Dowager Shi come back to her senses, and saw that Feng Yunzheng had already opened his eyes, but there was less clarity in his eyes.
"Zheng'er, is it uncomfortable?" Empress Dowager Shi asked in a low voice.
Feng Yunzheng was a little stunned, he didn't realize that Empress Dowager Shi was calling herself, and suddenly thought of what happened when she was a child, yes, her mother and queen have always called her like this.
"After the mother, the son is uncomfortable, and the son may have to walk in front of the mother." Feng Yunzheng smiled bitterly.
"Come, Zheng'er, drink saliva." Empress Dowager Shi picked up Feng Yunzheng and fed him a glass of water.
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
"Don't be afraid, your father is already below." Empress Dowager Shi was relieved, "It won't be long before the queen mother will come to accompany you, and then we will go together to confess to your father." β
Feng Yunzheng's mind couldn't turn around, and after a while, he figured out that Feng Yunzheng looked at the Empress Dowager Shi unexpectedly, "What does the queen mother mean?" β
"Zheng'er, the queen mother knows." Empress Dowager Shi put a cushion behind Feng Yunzheng, her face full of love, "It's the queen mother's fault, the queen mother didn't teach you well, maybe she ignored you after Mo'er was born." β
"The queen mother knows that she is wrong, rest assured, the queen mother is already correcting, hey, our mistakes must be borne by ourselves, don't hurt people who are not wrong."
Although Empress Dowager Shi's expression was gentle, the words she said made Feng Yunzheng's heart skip a beat, "What is the queen mother talking about, my son doesn't understand." β
"You know, Zheng'er, you are a gentleman, you should have the courage to admit that you have done something." Empress Dowager Shi sighed, "Everything you did to your father, Mo'er, and the queen mother before knows it, and the queen mother is really sad in her heart." β
"But nine years ago, the queen mother stood on your side and didn't seek justice for Mo'er, this time it can't be like this, the queen mother has to be fair and just, this time the queen mother is on Mo'er's side, but the queen mother won't let you be lonely, the queen mother will come to accompany you."
Feng Yunzheng's pupils shrank suddenly, "You, you ......"
"I'm doing this now, is it the queen mother's doing?" Feng Yunzheng was shocked.
"I'm sorry, Zheng'er." Empress Dowager Shi apologized, "You have done too many hurtful things, and the Queen Mother can't let you continue." β
Feng Yunzheng's chest rose and fell violently, angry, "That's why the queen mother chose Feng Yunmo, for his sake, she had to poison me." β
"Zheng'er, you should know that the throne you obtained by means has already been given back by Mo'er." Empress Dowager Shi said earnestly, "He never thought of hurting your own brother, but you were too cruel and unfair to him." β
"What are you talking about, Queen Mother? What was obtained by means, this throne should have been mine. β
"But your father passed the throne to Mo'er, and Mo'er knew that the edict you asked Mingwei to find in the Lu Mansion was also left by Mo'er." Empress Dowager Shi said sadly, "Mo'er has a shadow guard in her hand, do you know the shadow guard?" β
Feng Yunzheng was stunned.
"Ming Wei is the one who protects the emperor on the surface, but the shadow guard is passed down from generation to generation, and the personal guards of the emperors of all dynasties have higher kung fu than Ming Wei."
"Zheng'er, why do you think the queen mother is getting better, how is it getting better, obviously you sent someone to keep an eye on it; Just like you, do you think the queen mother has the ability to drug you directly? β
"So he's been playing tricks on me all the time." Feng Yunzheng's voice trembled, and he was so angry that he trembled, "Feng Yunmo, he is playing with me as a thing." β
Empress Dowager Shi closed her eyes in disappointment, "Is it so difficult to admit that your own brother is kind?" β
Feng Yunzheng's face was full of disbelief, "Queen Mother, don't you believe it, when I die, he may take the opportunity to take the position." β
Empress Dowager Shi sighed deeply and said, "That's it, it doesn't make sense." β
"Anyway, we don't have a chance to see what happens in the future." After Empress Dowager Shi finished speaking, Feng Yunzheng frowned, feeling a fishy sweetness in his throat.
"Poof-" Feng Yunzheng vomited a mouthful of blood, and the person fell.
"Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctorβ" Empress Dowager Shi got up and called.
