Chapter 164: Death
Hou Ye and I glanced at each other, didn't say anything else, stood up and walked towards the palace.
"Keep up."
According to the rules, the little eunuchs changed the little maid who came in from the Taopin Building, and as soon as they entered the palace, the palace banner who seemed to have been kneeling on the ground for a long time saw me lying on the stretcher, so he subconsciously straightened up and looked back at my cramped and restless eyes in a daze.
"Lihou! I didn't want you to wait outside the palace, why did you break into the palace with your righteous daughter! β
"Your Majesty, the old minister has no intention of resisting the order." Hou Ye bowed down and bowed, "It's really that the little girl is seriously injured, and the old minister thinks that Your Majesty needs to take a look, Gui Ying, she-"
"-I'll listen to Lian's affairs later, but for now, I'll deal with this rebel first!" The emperor once again moved his bloodshot eyes to the palace banner at his feet, and his already unsightly face became more and more purple, "You... You actually plotted against the palace and wanted to kill your father and brother, you are simply-"
The more the emperor spoke, the more angry he became, and he was about to kick the palace banner with his foot. Concubine Ying knelt beside the palace flag, and when she saw her son being blamed, she didn't even want to go to the palace flag.
"Concubine Ying, what are you doing!" When the emperor saw that his concubine was kicked to the ground, he didn't mean to help, "You are dressed in cross-dressing today, and you have not been held accountable for breaking into the palace for no reason, I advise you not to protect this rebel son anymore!" β
"Your Majesty! Based on the Assassin's confession alone, how can you believe that the Banner is the mastermind behind it! Concubine Ying burst into tears, "As a mother, how can the concubine bear to see her child being disposed of by you like this!" β
"If you don't mention it, I will come and ask you if you say it today. Earlier, I took the banner by my side, learned calligraphy at the age of three, and could write poetry at the age of five, how smart! How can I be the same as your child, and you will spoil this unfinished thing like this! β
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The concubine and you only have these two children! Even if the banner is still there, the concubine can't help but protect the banner! He's innocent! "I've never seen Concubine Ying cry like this, "Even if the banner is mediocre, please ask the emperor to take care of the old relationship with the concubine, if the two flesh and blood relatives can't be saved, how can you still call the concubine to live!" β
"You treat him as a son of flesh and blood, but he doesn't deserve to be the king's father!" The emperor was so angry that his neck and forehead were covered with hideous green tendons, "The traitor has clearly explained in the ghost prison, how this evil obstacle bought the tail sect to open the water flag, how he promised them benefits after the successful usurpation, where and what time to plan, all in detail, what else can he argue!" β
"-Father, they all slandered their sons, and the sons and daughters were unspeakable!" Gong Wan supported his mother, who was crying dizzily, and said excitedly, "It's just that even if my father wants to execute his son today, my son will say that these things have never been done by my son!" There is justice in the world, and the sons and daughters have a cheap life, and if they want to kill them, they will be dealt with by their fathers! β
"What a little brute! How dare you blackmail me! The emperor stretched out his feet again and kicked towards the palace flag, "Before, the palace maid of the Huangqi Palace exposed your adultery with the Lian family, I thought you were still ashamed and didn't want to believe it, today you were called to the palace for just one afternoon, and the Lian family rushed over regardless of the serious injury, it can be seen that the relationship between the two of you is dirty and disgusting!" β
"βYour Majesty! Gui Ying's entry into the palace today is purely worried about the safety of the old minister, and has nothing to do with the five princes! Hou Ye said in a solemn voice in time, "If it is for the five princes, you should immediately go out to find evidence to overturn the confession of the rebels of the Tail Sect, wouldn't it be stupid to enter the palace at this moment!" β
ββ¦ Even if it has nothing to do with your precious daughter, today's rebel son is a big rebel, and I will have to deal with it well! The emperor spat at me and the Hou Ye, "If it weren't for him today, how could it be that Si Tianjian sent news confirming that he was an ominous person who endangered the fortunes of the country?" β
"At the end of the day... Your Majesty, what you care about most is this celestial phenomenon, isn't it? β
No one expected that Concubine Ying, who was originally crying, would suddenly laugh sadly, she originally only used a plain silver hairpin to hold her heavy black hair today, because of the right talent and kowtowed again and again, the broken hair between the sideburns has fallen on both sides of her delicate face with light makeup, adding a little sadness.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty of death, and the ominous person referred to by the celestial phenomena is the concubine."
"Mother!"
"-Concubine Ying?" The emperor was extremely surprised, "Do you know what you are talking about?" β
Concubine Ying had already stopped the pain, she wiped away the tears, and was as plain as a hibiscus in the Wangqi Pond: "Dare to ask Chen Jianzheng, in addition to the hidden light of the double stars in the north and south before, what celestial phenomena have you discovered?" β
Curled up in the corner of the inner hall and witnessed the contradiction of the royal family, Chen Mi was already eager for everyone to forget his existence, and suddenly heard the call of Concubine Ying, almost startled a spirit, and hurriedly knelt in front of the palace, avoiding the resentful gaze of the palace flag, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen watched the stars tonight and found that Kang Jinlong was in a bleak condition, this house is the essence of Canglong, and it belongs to the second in the east, which is a sign that this ominous person who endangers the fortunes of the country is the person who is a blood relative to the emperor day and night!" β
"Ridiculous! You-"
"βThe celestial phenomena refer to, and the concubines have also heard a little." Concubine Ying ignored the impatience to scold Chen Mi's palace flag, and gently pushed him away and said, "Dare to ask the emperor, although the banner is young, is it too far-fetched to say that it is 'old and weak women and children'?" And it was a long time ago that he was recommended by his ministers to send troops to leave the cold, so how could he forcibly merge him to the nearest celestial phenomenon? β
"Mother... You ......" the horror on Miyahata's face was distressing, "What are you talking about?" β
"Your Majesty, the concubine was entrusted by you to send someone to clear the remaining Fa Lian flowers on the black market in Kazhou after writing to the mother country, and now all of them have been removed." Concubine Ying was full of tears, but her eyes looked at her husband in front of her very firmly, "According to the heavens, this ominous person is an old and weak woman and child who was originally unknown, but recently he has appeared in the court. Your Majesty, isn't this what you're talking about clearing the concubines of the law of Jiazhou for you. β
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
"Concubine Ying's ......"
"As for flesh and blood, the concubine and the emperor have shared weal and woe for decades and have given birth to two children. It's not a blood relative, it's better than a blood relative. Concubine Ying said that, she knocked deeply, "The concubine is not good at teaching her son, and today it affects the fortune of the country, which is really an unforgivable sin." Today's hairpin is plain clothes, which is to ask the emperor for sin. Please also ask the emperor not to affect the children of the concubines. β
After Concubine Ying finished speaking, she slowly got up and looked at the palace banner beside her. The sun shone through the screen window on her loving smile, and I saw a crystal tear slip down the corner of her unpretentious eye.
"Mother ......?"
Before the palace banner spoke, Concubine Ying moved extremely fast, and she had already reached out and pulled out the plain silver hairpin inserted in her hair. In the exclamation of everyone, her long hair, which was as smooth as black, had not yet fallen to her waist, and the hairpin had already been inserted straight into her neck.
"Mother!"
"-Concubine Ying!"
The emperor rushed forward, pushed away the palace flag next to him, and hugged Concubine Ying's body that was about to fall. The hatred in Miyahata's eyes was fleeting, and he struggled to crawl to the other side and hugged his mother tightly. Hou Ye reacted from the shock, kicked over Chen Mi who was in the way, and hurriedly ran out of the palace to summon the imperial doctor.
"Concubine Ying! You... What are you doing! β
Concubine Ying raised her trembling arm, and gently pushed away the hand that the emperor stretched out and didn't know whether to pull out the hairpin: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the concubine has cut herself off today, so don't you... Don't worry about celestial phenomena anymore, right? β
"Concubine Ying, don't talk nonsense... You'll be fine, Lihou has already sent someone to call the imperial doctor, you will definitely be fine! β
"Concubine Ying... The emperor used this title to call the concubine for half his life, do you remember, the original name of the concubine? β
The emperor was stunned, and then moistened his eyes: "Of course I remember, Sa'er, you are my Xia Chuan Sa......"
"yes, yarn." Concubine Ying slowly moved her empty eyes to the gorgeous dome, "Concubine Ying, who has been a regular step for half her life, sometimes the concubine will forget that she was the one... That innocent and fearless Natsukawa Sa. And Your Majesty, do you remember... Remember back then, what about the concubine back then? β
The emperor couldn't hold back any longer, and his tense gaze softened a little: "Of course, after so many years, we are still us, we haven't changed at all, and we can continue to walk together for many years......"
"Newly married that year, you promised your concubine that Huan Xin and Sha'er would live a lifetime and grow old together. It's a pity... It's a pity that the concubine is treacherous, but today she has to take the first step......"
"Sha'er, don't say such things, you'll be fine! What about the Imperial Doctor... Why hasn't the imperial doctor arrived yet! β
"Huan Xin..."Concubine Ying shook her head weakly, stroking the emperor's violently undulating chest, "Although the concubine is treacherous, the concubine still remembers that the emperor also made another oath to the concubine, you said back then... The poor concubine came to the Central Plains alone, and she will definitely be... will take good care of the concubines, do not neglect, do not abandon, do you remember? β
"I... I remember. β
"The concubine's Huan Xin is full of promises, over the years, she has really treated her concubines very well, and she has never let her concubines suffer the slightest grievance." Concubine Ying smiled and left a tear, "But... But today you are suspicious of the children of your concubines. β
The emperor slowly moved his gaze to the palace flag, looking at the sad face of the young son at the moment, and the dark and cold ice and snow in his eyes seemed to be gradually melting.
"Your Majesty, in fact, you don't know that the words of the celestial phenomena are not enough to believe. It's just that the concubine understands that you are no longer the high-spirited and fearless little prince of Huan Xin, you are on the throne, but you also have your dissatisfaction, and you have no choice. The concubine saw that you were having a hard time, and the concubine didn't dare to be the Xia Chuan yarn of the year anymore, and she didn't dare to blindly beg you to protect the concubine......"
"Mother..."
"Yarn... Don't worry. As long as you want, I will protect you, I am still your Tsuneki! β
Concubine Ying smiled poignantly and tiredly: "No need, Your Majesty, the years that can't be returned can be passed." The concubine is no longer the yarn of the year, the concubine is now a mother, the concubine died early, and the concubine is now going to go... Banner, banner is the last concern of the concubine......"
"Mother... Mother, don't talk about it! Imperial Doctor Geng had already arrived, and Gong Wan cried and pulled him to Concubine Ying, "Let the Imperial Doctor come to save you, Erchen doesn't want you to go!" β
Concubine Ying shook her head again, she was already less breathless and more breathless: "Man'er, you must understand that all diseases in this world can be cured, and heart disease is the most difficult to treat." When Mother is gone today, if you can get rid of the heart sickness that you and your father have endured for years, it will be worth it. β
"Yarn!"
"βYour Majesty, Your Majesty!" Concubine Ying suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and clenched the emperor's cuffs with her last strength: "The concubine broke the celestial phenomena with her body today, and the only last wish is to save the banner, please have mercy on the concubine and your child, and don't hurt him again!" β
"Don't worry, I will take good care of the banner," the emperor whispered to Concubine Ying in a gentle tone that I had never heard before, "Sha'er, good Sha'er, let the imperial doctor take a look at it for you, let the imperial doctor-"
- Even the girl has a pure temperament, and she is really a rare heroine among women. She and Banner are innocent, and the concubine begs you to assure... Promise your concubines that you won't hurt them both! β
"Yarn!"
"βConcubine, please!"
The emperor gritted his teeth and looked up at me on the stretcher, and after a long time, he finally turned to Concubine Ying who was dying again, and nodded heavily.
