"Your Majesty, the mourning family knows that it is your mother, and they also know that Shen Xianhe has nothing to do with your aunt, they know the discomfort in your heart, and they also know that you want to avenge your mother, these are all known to the mourning family, they are all clear, but, don't forget, in the final analysis, this matter is a tragedy caused by her, even the emperor You are also an accomplice, if you really want to talk about it, the culprit of this matter is not Shen Xianhe, but your mother, so she can be regarded as innocent, if you really want to avenge her, Only in pulling her corpse out at a time in her. ”

Chu Xi's gaze became colder and colder with the Empress Dowager's words, and his face became obscure, and he shook off the Empress Dowager's hand that grabbed him.

"Grandmother, if I am an emperor who is loved by all of you, and you sincerely respect this position without any selfishness, then I will also be a magnanimous emperor who distinguishes between right and wrong, but the reason why I can sit in this position is all due to my own efforts and the plan of the queen mother, so, grandmother, do you think you can convince me with your incorruptible tongue?"

"The emperor has really grown up, his wings have hardened, and he is no longer afraid of any forces, even now, he doesn't listen to the words of the mourning family."

Seeing that Chu Xi was soft and hard, the Queen Mother's face became even more difficult to look at, and her already cloudy eyes became sharp.

"How so? You are the Empress Dowager, I am my grandmother, no matter what you say, I still have to listen to your words, but, this matter is not good, the rest, no matter what you say, I will promise you, but Shen Xianhe This matter, I will disobey you. ”

"Your Majesty, the mourning family is dying, and its song is also mourning, there are not too many wishes to be fulfilled, but a matter of heart in the heart is about your aunt, the mourning family is sorry for her a lot in this life, before she left, she had begged the mourning family to protect Shen Xianhe no matter what, and the mourning family can not do much for her, Shen Xianhe, the mourning family must be protected, the emperor, do you even have to disobey the dying wish of the mourning family?"

Chu Xi looked at the Empress Dowager coldly, and only slowly spoke after a long time.

"Grandmother, I can't fulfill your wish."

When the words fell, Chu Xi got up and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, raised his eyelids and glanced at the Empress Dowager, turned around and prepared to leave, but he had just taken two steps.

The Empress Dowager's old voice came from behind him.

"Your Majesty, no matter what the mourning family says about you, you can't do it, and the mourning family has no other way, I can only remind you, don't forget, who promoted you to this throne in the first place, the mourning family and your aunt were able to let you sit in this position, and now, the mourning family also has a way to make you sit in this position."

Chu Xi turned his back to the Empress Dowager, his eyes were full of anger, the corners of his mouth slowly pulled out a sarcastic sneer, and he said without looking back.

"Really? Grandmother, are you a threat? But what to do? My aunt is dead, and grandmother, you are about to reach your limit, so what can you do to make me unable to sit in this position? ”

"Yes, the mourning family has no other way but to make this decision, even if your aunt is not here now, the mourning family is left with a dying struggle, and still has such ability, don't believe it, the emperor can try it? See if the mourners are talking big words. ”

Chu Xi put away the emotions in his eyes, and his sarcastic expression slowly turned expressionless, turned around and walked back to the Queen Mother's bedside, looking at her condescendingly.

"Grandmother, if you threaten me, at least tell me what? Otherwise, I am a person who does not cry when he sees the coffin, how can I believe what you say? ”

The Empress Dowager showed a smile on her face, and looked at him and said slowly.

"Do you think that you are the only prince in the Daqing Dynasty? The mourning family tells you, no, there is a person who sits on this throne more justifiably than you, and the mourning family has already told him about this person's life experience, as long as the mourning family sends a letter to him, he will appear with that thing, and when the time comes, do you think you can still sit in this position? ”

Hearing this, Chu Xi's pupils shook, and people couldn't help but tremble, and their teeth were even more "gurgling" by him.

"Grandmother, you keep saying that you love me the most, but now, you treat me like this, is this what you call love?"

The Empress Dowager's tears welled up again, and her face was full of pain.

"The mourning family doesn't want to come to this point, but if the emperor stubbornly grabs Shen Xianhe and doesn't let go, the mourning family can only do this."

"Hahahaha......, sure enough, how can there really be family affection in the royal family, everything is just a cover to cover up personal purposes, since my grandmother has to save Shen Xianhe, then I will fulfill my grandmother's wish, but how can my grandmother guarantee that if I release Shen Xianhe, the person who threatens me will stop, instead of appearing to fight with me for this throne?"

"As long as the mourning family doesn't pass the letter to him, he will never appear, this is his contract with the mourning family."

"Okay, I believe in grandmother, so let people release that Shen Xianhe."

"Your Majesty, since you promised to let her go, make an order in front of the mourning family."

Chu Xi's face was full of anger, and the whole person exuded an aura of anger.

"Since my grandmother doesn't trust me so much, then I will release Shen Xianhe in front of you as my grandmother wishes."

After speaking, he turned angrily and yelled at the door.

"Someone".

A eunuch walked in respectfully.

"Spread my will, although Shen Xianhe killed the Queen Mother by mistake, but Nian couldn't bear to watch the eldest princess and the queen mother die before they died, and I couldn't bear to go against the wishes of the elders, so I pardoned her innocence, and because she was not the daughter of the eldest princess and had nothing to do with the royal family, she took back her previous title and was demoted to a commoner."

After receiving the holy decree, the eunuch hurriedly withdrew and went to the heavenly prison to convey the holy decree.

After giving the holy decree, Chu Xi couldn't help but show a sarcastic smile on his face, and looked at the Empress Dowager and said.

"Grandmother, I have pardoned Shen Xianhe as you ordered, are you satisfied?"

After Chu Xi finished speaking, he didn't look at the Empress Dowager on the couch, and turned away with an angry face, ignoring the voice of the Empress Dowager behind him.

"Your Majesty...... The mourning family is also a last resort...... I hope you can be considerate of a mother...... The last thing I can do for my daughter ....... ”

The Empress Dowager's tears on the couch kept falling, her mouth kept explaining, and the whole person looked even more painful, at this moment, the voice stopped abruptly, her eyes slowly closed, the tears stopped falling, and the person had no sound of breathing.

The abrupt pause made Chu Xi, who had just walked to the door, stop, he was stunned at the door, and the pictures of the Empress Dowager loving him kept flashing in his mind, tears slipped from his stunned face, and after a long time, he opened his mouth to the palace people who had already knelt outside the door.

"The Empress Dowager is dead, ring the death knell!"

Shen Xianhe, who was imprisoned in the prison, was still immersed in the death of the eldest princess and could not extricate herself, these days, she did not sleep, did not eat or drink, shrunk her body in the corner of the wall, held her legs with both hands, put her chin on her knees, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

For the guilt and grief that could not be dissipated in her heart, she cried until her eyes were red, she cried until she couldn't cry, her body squatting in the corner was numb to the point that she was unconscious, the whole person was like a stiff stone, and her spirit was already in a trance, and she didn't even notice that Su Nianjun suddenly appeared in front of her.

Seeing her ruining her body like this, Su Nianjun inexplicably rose a wave of anger in her heart, angry with her, wanted to scold her angrily, but felt that she didn't have this position, and finally turned into a faint distress.

"Even if you torture yourself like this, the eldest princess won't be able to come back, are you just slumped, it's not your fault that this matter is, the real enemy is the one in the palace, you have to cheer up, find out the truth of the matter, give yourself justice, and seek justice for the eldest princess, instead of giving up on yourself here."

Hearing this, Shen Xianhe, who had been stunned, began to react a little, she slowly looked up at Su Nianjun with difficulty, and saw his worried eyes through his mask.

He spoke in a hoarse voice, as if answering his question, as if talking to himself.

"Yes...... You're right, I shouldn't have given up on myself like this, I should have cheered up, I wanted to find out the truth of the matter, I wanted justice for my mother, I shouldn't have let myself go on like this...... I can't...... So....... ”
