Chapter 161: The Last Strike
Thinking of what happened recently, the only thing was that her father was beheaded, and the queen said with some grievances: "Big brother, are you still complaining that I didn't save my father?" ”
The eldest brother sneered and said, "How dare I complain about the queen's mother, the queen's status is different from ours, and we can only rot in our stomachs if we have words."
When the queen heard what he said, the grievances in her heart were even stronger, she didn't expect that she would be unhappy everywhere in the palace, but she would be angry when she returned home.
"Big brother, I've done my best. But the emperor ...... him, "The queen was anxious to defend herself.
Before she finished speaking, the sister-in-law who was standing aside and watching coldly began to help. She said: "If the queen is really willing to plead with the emperor, how can the long live lord not give the mother face." Maybe it's nothing for your mother, but it's a big loss for your mother's family. ”
"It's all said to shut you up!" The eldest brother turned his head to scold her.
With the departure of Guozhang, both the family business and the rights and interests of the network have lost a lot. But this woman's words are clearly that money is more important than the country's father.
The sister-in-law is also an unforgiving lord, and this big thing in the family has long been overwhelming. This quarreled with the eldest brother with momentum and anger.
The queen was so upset that she slipped back to the palace without even having lunch, and lost her temper in the palace.
The queen smashed everything that could fall in the dormitory, as if she wanted to vent all her grievances in the past few days. The maid and the eunuch stood in the corner with their heads bowed, for fear that if they spoke out, they would be thrown into the chaos.
In the evening, the queen lay on the wide bed with her hair scattered, staring at the tassels hanging from the bed.
The indifference of the eldest brother and the mocking look of the sister-in-law kept flashing in her mind, as well as the emperor's disappointed eyes and her father's despondency before his death.
The dead silence of the night just contributed to her crankiness, and she looked around her palace uneasily, always feeling that a ghost was watching her in the corner.
"Ahh Sensing a shadow flashing by the window, the queen shouted in fright: "Come on! Come on! ”
The maid who was keeping vigil outside the door heard this, hurriedly ran in, lit the lamp and hurriedly asked, "What happened to the queen mother?" ”
The queen nestled in the corner of the bed, trembling and pointing to the half-hidden window in fear: "Go and see what is there!" ”
The maid pushed open the window and looked, and found that there was no insect sound outside in a quiet place, so she turned her head and said, "Back to the queen, the slave and maid have seen nothing." ”
"Nonsense!" The queen got up anxiously, her face turned pale with fright: "How could it not be?" I've seen a ghost slip through there! ”
As he spoke, he walked cautiously towards the window. The queen pushed open the window violently, her hands were as fast as if the window was stained with poison, and she poked her head out suspiciously.
I saw a pair of green eyes staring at her!
"Ahh
The black cat, crawling in the grass under the window, heard the screams of a woman and then the urgent cries of others from the window, meowed, felt bored, and wagged its tail and left.
The next day, the news that the queen had fainted from the wild cat spread in the palace. The maids in Fengyi Palace bit their ears and muttered, saying that the queen had hit the dead abbot.
After waking up, the queen was seriously ill, lying on the bed with a pale face, and was so weak that she couldn't even speak.
But even so, she didn't want to close her eyes and sleep. As soon as she closes her eyes, a ghost will hover in front of her eyes.
When Nalan Lan'er heard the news that the queen was scared and sick, she laughed a few times in her heart. reminded Ye Wushuang, who came to her for the night, and told him to take a break to visit the queen.
Although Ye Wushuang is still angry with her in his heart, after all, the love for many years is there. He nodded in response, and rushed over the next night.
As soon as Ye Wushuang entered the gate of Fengyi Palace, he heard the sound of ding-dong bells and the roar of men coming from inside. He frowned suspiciously, and stepped in.
A man in a colorful costume was twisting his body and rolling his eyes and yelling. He held a bronze bell in one hand and a wooden sword in the other, swinging in a strange pattern in the air.
"What is this doing?" Ye Wushuang called the maid on the side, raised his eyebrows and asked.
The maid saw that it was Long Live Lord who came and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Back to the emperor, the queen said that the palace is haunted, and this is to invite the master to catch ghosts." ”
Ye Wushuang's heart was ridiculous, but he thought that the queen must have been hit by the loss of her father just now. This kind of thing that is harmless behind closed doors is left to her.
Ye Wushuang pushed open the hidden door, and a strong smell of Chinese medicine came to his face. There was not a single glimmer of light in the sealed and disguised room, and only a few oil lamps were left to support it.
When the queen heard the sound, she turned her head, and a pair of bloodshot eyes crashed into Ye Wushuang's eyes.
He was shocked in his heart, and he fixed his soul to look at it, only to find that the person had become a queen.
Ye Wushuang hurriedly walked over, stood on the edge of the bed and looked down at her, and said, "What's wrong with you?" Isn't it just scared by a cat? Look at what you look like now. ”
Due to the insomnia of the past few days, the queen's eyes are blue-gray, and even a few wrinkles have crawled at the corners of her eyes. In just the past few days, the queen looks much older.
She began to suffer from insomnia, her eyes were blue-gray, and there were even a few wrinkles crawling at the corners of her eyes. In just the past few days, the queen has aged many years.
Seeing that it was the emperor coming, a hint of surprise flashed in the queen's cloudy eyes, and she hurriedly wanted to prop herself up from the bed.
Seeing this, Ye Wushuang stopped and said, "You don't have to get up, I just heard that you are sick, so I came to see you." ”
The brilliance in the queen's eyes darkened when she heard this, and she said weakly: "The concubine is guilty, let the emperor see that the concubine is so unbearable." ”
This is the first time the emperor has come to her Fengyi Palace since she finished the Golden Palace, but he didn't want her to greet her with this sick face.
Ye Wushuang shook his head and asked, "What's going on in your room?" If you don't open the window in broad daylight and light the lamp, can you not get sick? ”
The queen looked around with panic in her eyes, and whispered to Ye Wushuang: "Your Majesty, you don't know, the concubine is afraid that dirty things will come in." ”
Disgust flashed in Ye Wushuang's eyes, he flicked his sleeves and said angrily, "Ridiculous! How can there be a ghost under the sun in this daytime, I see that you are dizzy. Come on, open all the windows for the queen's mother. ”
The queen deliberately wanted to stop her, but seeing that Ye Wushuang was really angry, she closed her mouth in a cower.
When the windows were opened, the room was lit up, and the unpleasant smell was replaced by the fresh air after the rain.
Ye Wushuang said: "I understand that it is difficult for you to accept after losing your father, but you must also take good care of your body when you are sad." ”
The queen nodded and said, "The concubine understands, thank you for the emperor's concern." ”
After chatting a few more words, Ye Wushuang left on the grounds that something was wrong. When he left, the queen didn't dare to let people close the window, but the strange thing was that the queen took a few breaths of air and basked in the sun for a while, and the suspicious look was really good.
But the only thing that hasn't changed is that I still can't sleep in the dark.
The emperor came to Fengyi Palace less often than usual, and even if he came, he only slept and didn't speak, but even so, there was at least some humanity in this deserted palace. Lin'er was carried to the Queen Mother to live for a few days, and she lived alone in the main hall with her eyes open every night waiting for dawn.
This night, the queen tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, and the maid who kept vigil was left in the room by her, and she really couldn't stand the situation that she was alone in the room.
The maid heard the sound of turning over from the bed, so she asked in a low voice, "Queen Mother, have you slept?" ”
The queen's muffled voice came from the thick curtain: "No." ”
The maid's eyes rolled, and she said with some hesitation: "If the queen can't sleep, why don't you drink a glass of wine and try it." Before entering the palace, the slave's aunt cured insomnia in this way. ”
The queen thought about it, so it was not a way to fall asleep, and it was okay to drink some wine, so she said, "Then you can bring some wine to the palace." ”
After drinking the wine brought by the maid, the queen fell asleep after a while, and this sleep was dark and sweet, and she slept at noon the next day.
The queen got up and looked at her own appearance in the bronze mirror, and the blue-gray color under her eyes faded a lot because of satiety. She happily called the maid who had given her advice last night, and rewarded her heavily.
The queen was worried that if the emperor came, how could she serve the emperor in a daze after drinking again. But after thinking about it, she felt that her thoughts were simply unfounded, the emperor had not come to her for several weeks, how could she care about whether she drank or not.
So, at this thought, the queen drank more and more fiercely. At first, I just drank a small glass of wine, but then I simply poured it into my mouth with the mouth of the jug, and I couldn't stop until I was drunk.
On this day, the queen was in a temper just after drinking, and Ye Wushuang arrived at Fengyi Palace.
I heard the sound of ding dong in the room from afar, and several palace maids were guarding the door of the room, and when they saw him coming, they hurriedly shouted at the top of their voices: "Slaves and maids participate in the emperor!" ”
Ye Wushuang nodded, and didn't ask the queen what she was doing in the room. He personally pushed open the door to see, but as soon as he opened the door, a vase more than half a meter high seemed like he smashed it!
Ye Wushuang raised his sword eyebrows, and opened the vase with a palm wind. The vase exploded in his ear, and the sound went straight to his head.
Ye Wushuang angrily walked towards the queen who was still dancing with his hands and feet, grabbed her hand and said, "What are you doing here!" ”
Seeing this, the queen giggled, and the strong smell of wine in her mouth came to her.
Ye Wushuang frowned, took a few steps away from her, and said unhappily: "What kind of madness are you, you actually drank so much wine!" ”
The queen did not speak, shook herself and continued to pour wine into her mouth.
