Thinking of the marriage between Shangguan Wansu and Jun Yusulfone, they were still united because of themselves, and Zichu felt even more guilty.

The hall exuded a warm and dry air, as if all the water in her body had been roasted, and the pain of the death knell shattering her heart was irrepressible, but she could not cry.

After a long time, at the moment when he was on his back, two lines of hot tears snaked down his cheeks from the corners of his eyes, zigzag and twisted like an indescribable endless sorrow, and finally fell into the endless darkness of the main hall.

Winter is always silent, the weather is getting colder, even the time in the air seems to be frozen, and the fresh snow outside the grid window is drifting very slowly. There are tiny snowflakes rubbing against the window screens, making a "sizzling" sound, because the snow reflects the noon light, which is quite bright and dazzling.

Zichu untied the curtain with his hand, held the light rose-colored double-layer embroidered shark yarn, but his eyes fell on a red plum tree in the courtyard, and asked softly: "This year's honey heart plum blossoms are good, and the bones are also very spiritual, so it's okay for people to fold a few branches in and put them in?" ”

"Well, I don't know about these flowers and grasses, but since you like them, there's nothing good about them." Ye He Minglu was wearing a honey-colored brocade dress, because her face had faded from the roundness of a girl, but it revealed a bit of beauty, and she was very affectionate with Jiang Jiantao at this time, which added a bit of charm.

"I heard that Liu Chan took someone to the plum garden to pick plum blossoms and take them back to insert the bottle, in fact, as far as I am concerned, where does the imperial brother still have the spirit to see what flowers now? People are gone, whether it's Lamei or Jin Ming, what's the difference? ”

Zichu was afraid that she would become more and more sad, so he had to come over and sit down, and said with a smile: "Actually, the emperor is also ......."

There seemed to be a lot to say, but he was silent for a moment, and finally asked with a smile: "By the way, have you been to see the little prince in the past few days?" How's that, still mental? ”

Zichu was inconvenient to go out and walk because his belly was getting bigger and bigger. In addition, the wind and snow have been heavy these days, and I rarely go out. Hearing this, Ye He nodded and said, "The children are all fine, they are raised by the emperor's brother, and the people who take care of them are also extremely proper." It's just that when I saw that he had no mother at such a young age, I couldn't help but feel sorry in my heart. ”

"Yes, Shangguan Wansu has always passed away too early. After she left, not only was the emperor sad and sad, but even the former dynasty and harem were not calm for a while. Now, it seems that everything is calm. It's just that my heart is always hanging there. I always feel like something is going to happen, and it's hard to settle down. ”

"Well, they all say that we are thinking too much in pregnancy, but I don't know how to get it, it's similar to your thoughts."

Zichu said, stroking his growing belly with his hand, thinking in his heart that he had inadvertently heard from Jun Yuchen a few days ago, the Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager Nalan seemed to have quarreled again, and the Emperor Taishang was angry, and almost turned his face with the Queen Mother in front of the palace people.

Jun Yuchen was not here in the past two days, so he thought that he would go to Yihe Palace to persuade his parents. For some reason, Zichu always felt that the quarrel between the Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager Nalan had something to do with Shangguan's death. But she wasn't sure that such things were too important, and even Ye Heming didn't dare to reveal anything, so she could only fight a belly lawsuit in her heart.

Sure enough, just when Zichu was worried in his heart, here in Yi'an Palace, the life of the Empress Dowager Nalan was really difficult.

Jun Yuchen has been coming every day for the past few days, but he has not seen his mother, because the Empress Dowager Nalan has been placed under house arrest by the Emperor Taishang.

"Queen Mother, let's drink some porridge. You see, it's been a long time, and you don't have any water. The maids and grandmothers who were sent by the Emperor Taishang to serve the Queen Mother said lightly, but they deliberately kept a distance, for fear that the Queen Mother Nalan would push herself away in anger, smashing the bowl and spilling the porridge is nothing, and she will be unlucky if she burns herself.

The Empress Dowager Nalan didn't seem to hear anything, just looked at the short knife in her hand almost dementedly, and the big tears fell down one by one, splashing on the golden branches and flowers on the handle of the knife, but she just pursed her mouth silently.

She slowly pulled out the knife, the blade of the knife was cold, the surrounding maids and grandmothers were frightened, and the two people who approached hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand and begged: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, don't think about it." ”

"Go away---- Empress Dowager Nalan didn't know where she got the strength, pulled the knife out of the hands of the two grandmothers, and said coldly: "Who said that the mourning family is going to die?" The mourning family is the queen mother, and she is the queen mother of the world! ”

She burst into tears and laughed, trembling with laughter, "He forced me so much, just to force me not to die, I don't want to die...... I don't want to die......"

"Queen Mother----" The maids saw her smiling very much, and they were all a little at a loss.

In the eyes of the Empress Dowager Nalan, at this moment, she is really dead.

Because, her husband, who told her personally, hated her femme fatale and did not want to see her again.

I've always wanted to hear it, but I finally heard it.

----- However, why is there no semi-decomposition and decoupling? She is about to become an abandoned woman, her son will leave the capital with her daughter-in-law, and she will live alone in the harem, and her future life can be imagined, and the best result is to live in peace for the rest of her life.

What if, Jun Yuxuan came back to her senses and knew what she was secretly doing with Princess Zhang Ding, or her husband went first?

Not to mention what happened during this period, no matter which step is not careful, I am afraid that I can only be defeated, and my fate is uncertain.

The Empress Dowager Nalan seemed to suddenly open her eyes and stood on the edge of the cliff, having to face the cold darkness on the road ahead.

And the ---- behind him is just an almost ethereal promise from his son, saying that he will definitely take him out of the palace to support the elderly, but in his life, can he really wait for that day?

Even if you really wait until that day, how much will your limited time be worn away by the ruthless broadsword of the years? At this moment, I am really full of unwillingness, but I am so afraid of the dark and pain, how can I really seek death? The current self is like a drowning person grasping a straw, even if he knows that it is useless, he is unwilling to let go of this last ray of hope.

But what if not?

Time turned back to the beginning, really as her husband wished, let go of her son and maintain a superficial harmony with Jun Yuxuan, her stepson? Then, he will be cold because he is not willing, and he will be resentful because of his attitude, and the suspicion will accumulate deeper and deeper, and in the end it will be just a couple of resentful couples.

Or, do you simply pestering yourself to go to his fiefdom with your son? No matter what Song Zichu will do, he must have lost face first, and then when Song Zichu gave birth to a child and treated himself as nothing, did he regret the mistake he had at the beginning?

Compared with the life and death that I miss now, is it more fortunate to have other endings? It turns out that no matter how hard you struggle, you can't escape the huge power of the wheel of fate, is this the so-called fate?

The Empress Dowager Nalan gently stroked the handle of the crystal knife, sank her heart for a moment, and called to the maid: "I heard that the emperor's things for the mourning family to celebrate their birthday have been transported, and you let them move to the courtyard and open it, I want to see if I am not satisfied." ”

The maids were puzzled when they heard this, and hesitated: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, those are all sealed, and it is not easy to open at this time, right?" ”

"Mouthy!" Empress Dowager Nalan frowned and scolded, sneering to herself, "Since it is the emperor's intention to honor the mourning family, the mourning family depends on how sincere he is, and he will do it according to the words of the mourning family, and replace all the inappropriate ones!" ”

The maids didn't dare to say more, beckoning the palace people to move the congratulatory gifts to the courtyard, the things were sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the left and right were just some silk and satin, rare treasures, but a pair of high-necked bottles with Ruixiang flower gold mouth were quite rare, half a person high, it could be said to be very valuable.

The Empress Dowager Nalan walked down lazily, knocked on the edge of the bottle with the scabbard, and there was a crisp and pleasant "clanging" sound, and the movements in her hands stopped, and the lingering sound lingered in her ears.

"Oh, that's a good thing." The Empress Dowager Nalan seemed to look at it with a lot of amusement, the petal-shaped edge of the eight treasures was folded outward, and the bright and recognizable multicolored treasure paint on the bottle body was like a new drawing, and the realistic auspicious pattern was almost convex, even if it was tall and wide, there was no trace of flaws, and it was naturally a treasure that was hard to find.

"The Queen Mother, the slave maid heard that this bottle is this year's tribute, and it cost thousands of taels of silver to get this pair of bottles, and twenty people along the route are specially guarded, wrapped in silk and satin, for fear of bumping into a star and a half."

The little palace maid next to her chattered enviously, completely ignoring the increasingly cold look of the Empress Dowager Nalan, and continued to sigh: "Tsk, fortunately, there is nothing missing----

"Are you alright?" The Empress Dowager Nalan pushed the vase hard, and the palace people next to her didn't have time to protect it, only to hear a loud noise, the tall bottle suddenly shattered and bloomed all over the ground, and the fine white jade porcelain fragments were shining brightly in the sun.

"What's that good thing? The mourning family will let it slip today!! The palace people instantly exclaimed, some were at a loss, and some rushed to clean up in a panic, and the courtyard was suddenly lively.

The Empress Dowager Nalan looked at the fragments in a daze, as if she could see clear cracks spreading, and even heard a piercing sound, which was continuous and painful, it was her own heartbreak.

Just when there was a lot of trouble in the courtyard, a cold voice came from the Moon Gate, but it was the Emperor Taishang who appeared there and ordered the palace people: "Pack up the congratulatory gifts sent by the emperor and go down!" ”

"Yes, the Emperor."

No one knows what the Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager Nalan said this night. It's just that after the Emperor Taishang left, the Empress Dowager Nalan sat there in a daze, until the maids came to help her back to rest in the middle of the night, and she cried bitterly.

Because of Shangguan's graceful death, Jin Xuguo's harem was shrouded in an unusually dull and solemn atmosphere. Even the Queen Mother's birthday was simply celebrated, and the emperor naturally did not attend, but Queen Zhang, who had been bedridden, led a group of palace concubines to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.
