Chapter 51: The Queen Mother dies

At the beginning of October 965, when the Queen Mother was seriously ill, Konglin was about to leave the palace, and met with me privately before leaving.

"The concubine Niangniang should prepare early, and the Queen Mother is afraid that it will only be a few days." The last thing I wanted to hear came out of the mouth of the empty forest.

"This palace understands, and I also want to thank Dr. Kulin for his meticulous healing during these days." I naturally know the body of the Queen Mother, since the Mid-Autumn Festival, she has begun to recognize people very much, and now she can't wake up all day long.

"The grass people are terrified, and it is the duty of the grass people to do their best for the queen mother. It's just ......" Doctor Kubayashi suddenly hesitated for a moment, but did not continue.

"Just what? Doctor Kubayashi said it was okay. ”

"The grass people want to ask the noble concubine for a letter talisman, and when they leave the palace, they will stop by to see your sister Queen Zhou."

"Do you know my sister?" I glanced at Konglin suspiciously, according to the rumors I knew, it was impossible for Konglin to know my sister. The information shows that when he was eight years old, he became famous in the entire medical profession for solving the plague of the Song Kingdom alone, and then followed his master to walk the rivers and lakes, until his master died a few years ago, and the empty forest returned to the mountains and forests, and never appeared in this world again. Why did he suddenly want to see Queen Zhou now?

"The grass people don't know each other, but they are entrusted to bring her a message."

"Who? Why didn't he come himself? ”

"This grass man can't say it, and I ask the concubine to believe in the grass people once, and I promise to leave immediately as soon as I bring the words."

I glanced at Dr. Konglin, and probably guessed in my heart who he was entrusted by, it seems that Konglin went out of the mountain to treat the disease is fake, and it is true that they took the opportunity to approach me, but what is their purpose this time?

"If you take this, you will say that you are entrusted by the noble concubine Niangniang to ask for a safe pulse for Queen Zhou, and they will naturally take you in at that time." Despite my doubts, I still handed my letter to Kong Lin, although my sister is now out of the palace to meditate, she is also imprisoned in the royal temple in disguise, and outsiders can't easily enter it.

"The grass people thanked the mother."

"Don't thank you too early, this can be regarded as a favor from you to the Queen Mother."

"Yes."

After explaining everything, I asked Li Xiaoxiao to arrange to send Konglin out of the palace.

In the evening of the next day, the Queen Mother's condition suddenly deteriorated, and Wen Wen He and Imperial Doctor Xu rescued her all night to no avail, and the Queen Mother finally died of illness the next morning. At the same time, news came from outside the palace that Queen Zhou committed suicide by swallowing arsenic stones in the early hours of last night, and was not found by the palace maid who was waiting until early in the morning. Li Yu mourned, and the whole country was in pain.

Since ancient times, filial piety and righteousness are difficult to achieve, I let Li Yu stay in the palace to preside over the funeral of the queen mother, and I took Zhongyu to the palace to go outside, the queen's last wish, after the death will stop in the temple, all funeral matters will be presided over by the prince Zhongyu. The emperor was young in Zhongyu, and specially approved my petition to accompany me out of the palace.

Along the way, Zhongyu didn't make a sound, and I looked at the child in front of me who was not yet ten years old, obviously living at an age when he still needed to be pampered, but he had experienced the pain of his brother's early death and his mother's early death.

"Did a doctor named Kubayashi come yesterday?" As soon as the carriage entered the temple, I couldn't wait to pull the glass guarding in front of the spirit and asked. Zhong Yu on the side couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed to the spirit and cried, and Li Xiaoxiao hurriedly followed to take care of it.

"Well, the person who came said that it was arranged by the second lady, so I took him to see the queen mother."

"Do you know what he said to the Queen?" Kong Lin had just gone to see the queen, and the next day the news came that the queen had committed suicide, was it all a coincidence? There must be something else in between, that I don't know.

"I don't know, after the man entered the room, he gave the queen a letter, saying that it was written by the old man, and the queen asked us to retreat first after reading the letter, and then I don't know what the two of them talked about."

"When did the empty forest leave?"

"Just now, I saw the next person who came to report and left."

"You mean he's always there?"

"Yes, he helped build the queen's spiritual seat."

Just? It stands to reason that the queen should leave as soon as the queen dies, but he waited until I came? Why is that?

"What did you leave behind before you left?" I hurriedly asked.

"I left a letter, saying that I had to hand it over to the second lady." Ruri pulled out a letter from her sleeve for me.

"Well, it's not to say to anyone."

"The slave knows."

"You go to the rest meeting, just leave it to Sandalwood here."

"I want to accompany my mother." I glanced at Ruri and nodded, she must be sad at the moment.

I took the letter and exited the mourning hall, I was in a trance for a while, it seems that Konglin has been prepared, what did he say to make my sister willing to die?

"I hope you'll give me some answers." I whispered to the letter in my hand.

Rou Guifei personally revealed:

Concubine Niangniang, if you read this letter, it means that my plan has succeeded, and I still want to say sorry to you before explaining everything, I lied to you, but I believe that everything I did was right.

I think that the moment you handed me the letter symbol, you must have guessed who the old person I was talking about was, otherwise you would not have given me the letter easily. It's a pity that I lied to you and made you a pawn in our plans, but all of this I did won't hurt anyone, including your sister.

Yes, your sister is not dead, what lies in the coffin is just a dummy. I don't know how to explain it all to you. But I really made everyone in this temple believe in your sister's death, and many people have seen the dead queen with their own eyes, so from today on, there is no such person as Emperor E in this world.

The Queen Mother is seriously ill, the death of the fourth prince and the secret of Zhong Xuan's death You know it from the letter that day, since the cause and effect are closely linked, then we can only break it ourselves, and it can be regarded as the end of this evil fate. And the letter you saw in Li Yu's study that day was also deliberately arranged by me, we started playing this big chess game very early, maybe from the Queen Mother's illness, or from your sister's entry into the palace......

Now, this chess game is coming to an end, and in the next few days, Shang Wen will take your sister away to the end of the world, and I will also return to the mountains and forests, and you will be the last person to collect the net.

Don't let anyone open the coffin, trust me, time will completely seal everything in this coffin.

Empty forest pen.

I put down the letter in my hand, it turned out that my sister had already planned......
