Zhang Yuchi gradually became impatient, he had long wanted to push away the palace people and break into Cining Palace, for fear that the result would disgust the Queen Mother, and he really didn't care about the Zhang family's affairs anymore.

Finally, the female official came out and saluted: "My lord, the Queen Mother, please come over and speak." ”

Zhang Yuchi breathed a sigh of relief and raised his feet and stepped into the Cining Palace.

Cining Palace seems to be the same as before, and everything looks orderly.

Although he asked people to close the gate of Cining Palace, he did not restrict the movement of palace people, nor did he lose the use of the palace, he was just reminding the Queen Mother that he was in charge of the palace now.

The Empress Dowager is a smart person, and she will always recognize the current situation and join forces with him to deal with the emperor and the remnants of the King of Wei, but she didn't expect that there has been no movement in Cining Palace.

In the main hall, the Queen Mother stood at the low table and pruned the branches, and when she saw Zhang Yuchi, she said straightly: "This year's flowers are growing well, they are smart, and they are liked, I remember the last time I saw such luxuriance was when the first emperor was there."

I filled the hall with dendrobium, the first emperor saw and praised me for my growth, where did he know, this is not my credit, the flowers grow well, how to insert are beautiful, if it is not good, even if the gods come, it is useless. ”

Zhang Yuchi frowned, and he was already tired of the Queen Mother's pretended temptation.

The Queen Mother turned her head: "Did you say?" ”

"Queen Mother," an anxious look flashed across Zhang Yuchi's face, "When is this happening, are you still talking about this...... The Emperor's Affairs...... It's me who is good at making claims, and I should discuss it with you in advance, and I am also sad because of the eldest brother and the third brother, but there is no turning back when we open the bow, we can only look forward, and the Zhang family will see how this time in the future. ”

The Queen Mother didn't hear Zhang Yuchi speak, and still concentrated on sending the last flower into the dendrobium, and then nodded with satisfaction, her expression looked very comfortable, and finally she waved her hand to let the palace people hold the dendrobium.

Zhang Yuchi patiently waited for the Queen Mother to clean her hands, stretched the robe on her body, and sat back on the chair before she spoke: "Queen Mother, Beijing is already in a mess, can you ignore it." ”

The Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Yuchi: "As early as when you stepped into Cining Palace with that child, the mourning family had already made it clear."

The mourning family has long asked you, what should you do if you don't kill the emperor? You are confident, you must be in control, in that case, go and do what you want! ”

Zhang Yuchi's face was even more gloomy: "Now it's different from before, the emperor is imprisoned in Fengyang." ”

There was no wave on the Queen Mother's face: "After the Fengyang chaos, King Ning invited himself to go, but he didn't expect to play such a move, and the mourning family didn't see the strangeness, if the first emperor or King Jian said that he couldn't take precautions, it's a pity...... There are no more discerning people. ”

Zhang Yuchi didn't want to hear what the Queen Mother said: "Song Chengxuan imprisoned the emperor, rebelled, killed the court officials, tried to establish himself as the emperor, which was not tolerated by the world.

There was a lot of discussion outside, and they all said that the emperor and the clan knew that Song Chengxuan was the son of King Wei, otherwise how could King Ning and King Cheng ensure that the children of the opposite sex were on the throne? ”

Zhang Yuchi clenched his hands tightly, so who would question Song Chengxuan's identity.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly: "The emperor is not dead, even if there is a 'eldest son of the emperor', he cannot ascend the throne as the new emperor, Song Chengxuan has restored the identity of the son of the clan, and the next step is to wait for the emperor's throne." ”

Zhang Yuchi said hatefully: "There are so many Confucian students and bachelors in the Yu family, but they help to abuse ......"

The Queen Mother didn't wait for Zhang Yuchi to finish speaking and chuckled: "Who should Yu Guozhang help?" Emperor or you? Queen Yu's life in the palace is better than death, if there is no Song Chengxuan and Xu Qinghuan, she will have to bear a crime until she dies, whose sin is this?

Neither our Zhang family nor the emperor are clean. ”

The Queen Mother said and stood up and looked out the window: "The weather outside is good, and the mourning family wants to go out for a walk." ”

Zhang Yuchi became anxious: "Then Song Chengxuan entered Beijing, and he will not let go of the Queen Mother, when the first emperor dealt with the King of Wei, the Queen Mother and the Zhang family were on the side to help." ”

"That's all in the past," the Queen Mother shook her hand, "People always have to move forward, no matter how much the past is, it doesn't matter if there is no road ahead, there is no choice."

I can't tell if it's right or wrong since I entered the palace, but I've tried my best to do it, and I can accept whatever the outcome. ”

After speaking, the Queen Mother walked forward and stepped out of the hall, she took a deep breath: "It's really refreshing, I haven't had such weather for a long time." ”

Zhang Yuchi immediately chased out the door.

The Queen Mother took two steps and stopped, turning her head sideways: "There is one more thing you have to remember, don't lose the face of the Zhang family at the last moment, because that is your last stroke in the world." ”

Zhang Yuchi looked at the back of the Queen Mother who was gradually moving away, and suddenly felt that his feet were heavy and he could no longer move half a minute, and it took him a long time before he turned around and walked out of Cining Palace.

They all thought that he was going to lose, but he didn't believe it, even at the last moment, he wanted Song Chengxuan to see how powerful he was.

If he is in a hurry, he will burn everything to the ground and let the capital of the Great Zhou be buried with him.

……

Zhang Jingshu gently coaxed the child in her arms, and handed the child over to the nurse for a while.

As soon as the nurse took the child over, the palace people who came to serve accidentally tripped and fell to the ground, and the child in the nurse's arms woke up immediately when he heard the movement, opened his mouth and made a big fuss.

The palace people turned pale with fright, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Zhang Jingshu's tensed heartstrings seemed to be broken at this moment, and she sharply ordered the attendant: "Pull her down, this palace never wants to see her again." ”

A sharp voice sounded, and the chamberlain didn't dare to slack off and immediately pulled the palace people.

The palace people cried, their faces full of fear.

The rest of the palace couldn't bear to look at it directly, and they all lowered their heads and trembled.

The atmosphere in the palace became more and more strange, and the thunder two nights ago frightened a chamberlain into running around, shouting that the king had attacked the city.

It seems that everyone is waiting for this day, waiting for Song Chengxuan to bring troops into Beijing.

"Guifei Niangniang," the chamberlain hurriedly came in and said, "There is news from Cining Palace that the Empress Dowager is gone." ”

Zhang Jingshu's mind was blank, her eyes were black for a while, and it took a while to come back to her senses: "What did you say?" The Queen Mother ......, "The second uncle only went to see the Queen Mother during the day, how can the Queen Mother be so good."

"Quick, go to Cining Palace." Zhang Jingshu walked out anxiously.

In the Cining Palace, the chamberlains and palace people knelt in the main hall.

Zhang Jingshu let people help her into the inner room, and saw the Queen Mother lying on the bed at a glance.

The Queen Mother was wearing a ceremonial dress and a phoenix crown, lying there peacefully, as if taking a nap on the bed, Zhang Jingshu tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, trembling and took another step forward.

Under the light, there was still blood on the mouth and nose of the Queen Mother.

Zhang Jingshu immediately realized what was happening.

The female official said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother took poison and left, and what the future generations want to do with it depends on the concubine Niangniang." ”
