The drums of the third watch sounded, and the silent five-shaped palace shrouded in the dark night, at this time there was a noisy rain everywhere. The dim palace lamp under the eaves flew and swayed, and suddenly the hula went out, and the palace people who were waiting in the heart hall suppressed their sharp voices and cursed in a low voice: "What the hell is this weather!" After a while, the lights went out a few times! ”

As he spoke, he took down the few palace lamps that had been extinguished and lit them again. On the side, another palace man took the palace lamp he had lit and hung it under the eaves again, and whispered dissuasion: "Don't complain." Be careful to be heard, the princess has always been in good health, but these days have added nightmares, and she often can't sleep well. This time I suddenly fainted, and I don't know what to do! Don't tell me about it, it's unlucky! ”

The wind-blown palace door shook slightly, Duan Wang Ye walked out of the palace, and the imperial doctor ordered Yu Daoyuan to follow him respectfully, and said: "The imperial concubine has always been in good health, and she suddenly fell into a coma, and it was difficult for Weichen to find out the reason for a while. However, after the injection was administered, the imperial concubine had already woken up, and there was no major problem for the time being, and the minister would carefully diagnose and treat it in the next few days, in order to find out the cause as soon as possible. ”

However, before Duan Wang Ye could speak, a terrible scream suddenly came from inside! Yu Daoyuan's face changed, and he didn't care about talking to Duan Wangye, so he turned around and went back to the palace.

The sound of rain outside the window came into the heart hall, as if it frightened the people behind the veil.

Empress Dowager Qi's originally misty eyes were open at this time, lying on the wide bed, her mouth open, as if a howl had exhausted her strength, so that she could no longer make a sound for a while. She heard footsteps approaching, and slowly turned her neck, looking around in confusion, but the thin white curtains obscured her vision like floating clouds, and made her heart feel irritated for no reason. "Someone...... Someone ...... coming."

The palace maid standing by the bed was a little at a loss, and said in a panic: "The imperial concubine, where are the slaves and maids here?" She saw Yu Daoyuan turn around and come back, and hurriedly asked for help: "Imperial Doctor Yu, hurry up and take a look, what's wrong with the imperial concubine?" ”

Yu Daoyuan stepped forward to take a closer look at the expression of Empress Dowager Qi, and saw that her eyes were cloudy and yellow, and she had lost her former gentleness and friendliness, and was replaced by the fear and helplessness when she was about to die. Yu Daoyuan was shocked in his heart, and stepped forward to call for her. saw that the other party suddenly turned his head to look at him, frantically pounced on him, and choked her neck: "I'm going to kill you!" Kill you! Kill you! ”

Yu Daoyuan didn't expect her to come from so strongly, her throat was tightly choked by the other party, and there was a cry of madness in her ears. He wanted to struggle, but he was afraid of hurting the Empress Dowager Qi, his eyes turned white when he was pinched, and his face turned purple. The maid on the side was in a hurry, and she couldn't pull the two apart.

Duanwang only came in one step later than Yu Daoyuan, but he didn't expect to see this situation, Rao is he has experienced countless things, and he was also shocked enough, and he was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses. hurriedly stepped forward to pull the concubine of the emperor and said, "Mother! Mother? It's a son! What's wrong with you? ”

As soon as Empress Dowager Qi heard King Duan's voice, she slowly came to her senses, and while her eyes turned to him, the strength in her hand also loosened. Yu Daoyuan was dragged back a few steps by two chamberlains, and several people fell to the ground together. "Imperial Doctor Yu, are you okay?"

Yu Daoyuan clutched his throat, only felt a hot pain, and bent his waist and coughed violently. He reluctantly raised his eyes to look at Empress Dowager Qi, his face full of doubt. This kind of sudden madness cannot be without a reason, either it is suddenly stimulated or it is caused by an external force.

But the Empress Dowager Qi is in the inner palace, and even the Empress Dowager has to respect her for three points, who can threaten and stimulate her?

Empress Dowager Qi gradually stopped shouting in front of King Duan, and gradually recovered her dazed expression of not knowing where she was. Her face was pale with a bit of abnormal flushing, and her blue and black hair was unkempt at the moment, and she was almost like the usually dignified and noble Empress Dowager. Yu Daoyuan told King Duan about his guess, King Duan looked back at him without speaking, took a cup of tea from the palace maid's hand, tried the hot and cold, and then handed it to the lips of Empress Dowager Qi, and comforted her in a low voice: "Mother, it's getting late, you should rest." ”

In the midst of the rain, a flash of lightning suddenly lit up, accompanied by a rumbling thunder, illuminating the entire inner sanctum.

Empress Dowager Qi was full of excitement, and then trembled like chaff, and grabbed Duanwang's hand tightly, and the teacup in Duanwang's hand rolled to the ground and fell to the ground. The warm water in the cup poured all over the sleeves of his robe. However, he didn't care about this, because the Empress Dowager suddenly shouted: "That woman! The woman is back! She wants to stir up great peace! Da'an is coming to an end! Finished! Finished! ”

The faces of all the people in the hall were shocked by these words! Empress Qi was still chattering, and when she saw that no one responded to her, she immediately shouted even louder: "You have to believe me!" She's back! If she returns, you all will die!" ”

Yu Daoyuan only felt that his scalp was numb, he was just an imperial doctor, and seeing such a thing was tantamount to a catastrophe! He didn't know who the 'she' in the other party's mouth meant, so he only knelt on the side tremblingly, not daring to speak. The dense layer of fine sweat on his forehead, blown by the cold wind, couldn't help but make him shiver.

King Duan glanced at everyone and said, "The mother concubine is just a nightmare and talking nonsense. Don't spread the word! ”

Everyone wished he would say this, and hurriedly agreed. However, Empress Dowager Qi seemed to understand what he said, and said, "Ji'er, listen to me......

Duanwang's face became unsightly, and he waved his hand to let everyone go down. Everyone was afraid that their lives would be in danger when they heard something they shouldn't hear, so they hurriedly retreated. Yu Daoyuan withdrew from the door, vaguely heard the word 'Su', and suddenly his feet softened, and he almost fell on the steps. Immediately afterwards, regardless of the heavy rain, he rushed into the rain and left the Heart Palace.

The torrential rain fell from the canopy, overwhelming the sky and showing no mercy. The Empress Dowager Song heard that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill late at night and came through the shadowy cornices promenade in the rain. But I happened to see the Empress Dowager Qi suddenly rush out of the pavilion and jump down from the railing on the second floor!

"Mother!" King Duan chased after her, and stretched out his hand to grab her, but in vain.

Out of thin air, an extremely dazzling lightning bolt slashed down in the air, accompanied by a deafening thunderbolt. The corpse and bloodstains of the Empress Dowager Qi are very clear! Empress Dowager Song looked at the scene in front of her in shock, and she had goosebumps all over her body!

The sky was faint, and the storm finally quietly stopped.

The inexplicable death of Concubine Qi is too tragic, and the folk saying that the person who 'dies' cannot enter the ancestral grave, and cannot die well and Furui is missing, which will affect the luck of the living relatives. But she is the adoptive mother of Duan Wangye, and her status is noble. The emperor was far away from the palace at this time, and everyone didn't know what to do for a while.

In the end, the Empress Dowager decided to send the coffin of the Empress Dowager Qi to the Grand Pudu Temple for 7749 days of rituals, so that she would 'die', and then enter the imperial mausoleum to be buried. Duan Wang Ye had no objection, but proposed to send the coffin of Emperor Qi to Chongyuan Temple instead of Dapudu Temple. Everyone was puzzled, but King Duan didn't explain, but the Queen Mother respected his opinion and agreed to the matter. But afterwards, some people spread gossip, saying that the concubine of the Emperor Qi was to avoid the biological mother of the king of Du, the former emperor's concubine Su Guifei.

The crowd was even more puzzled, but no one answered. Only Yu Daoyuan's heart jumped for a while, and he didn't even dare to guess, and forced himself to suppress the panic in his heart.

Chongyuan Temple and Dapudu Temple are one north and one south, and the incense is also very vigorous. When the ancestors were the ancestors, the royal rituals or ceremonies were all here, which could be regarded as a royal temple, but with the expansion and repair of the capital further and further south, Chongyuan Temple gradually fell into the cold. But the incense burner of the Buddha hall everywhere, the verandah mountain stone, none of them are not exquisite and rich, although it is winter, the courtyard still does not show the solitude of purge, the green pine gray stone, the bright yellow short mantle, the ever-bright lamps and candles reflect each other in one place, and the Buddha statue in the hall is solemn and solemn.

After all, it is a royal temple, and this splendor and indifferent bearing is really amazing.

Ji Chenglin followed everyone out of the carriage and looked at the bright and solemn façade of the temple in front of him. The plaque is written by Taizu, which is strong and powerful, and magnificent. In the eaves of the yellow wall, you can see the tall pagoda standing in it, the bell tower and the drum tower are divided into east and west, all of which are the places of respect and admiration.

Walk into the courtyard, surrounded by stone guardrails, through the bright yellow short curtain can vaguely see the incense mist in front of the golden Buddha in the hall. It is said that the beams in the hall of Chongyuan Temple are covered with agarwood, and the rest of the building is built without a lack of precious golden silk nanmu, which is not much worse than the Taimiao.

The Queen Mother held the female official's hand and walked slowly, and when she passed by the hundred officials standing on both sides, she deliberately stopped and glanced at Ji Chenglin. Ji Chenglin beat the drum in his heart and bent his waist lower. "What does the Queen Mother command?"

Empress Dowager Song looked ahead and said lightly: "I heard that Ji Erlan is not your biological daughter?" ”

Ji Chenglin felt that the eyes of all over the world were converging on him, and he felt a little like a man's back, and said: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, it is true. ”

"So, do you know her true background?"

Ji Chenglin didn't know what the Queen Mother meant when she asked him in public, and cold sweat was streaming down his head for a while. He replied, "Your ...... I don't know ......."

Although Empress Dowager Song's face was cold, she was not stern, and said, "Hmm...... The mourning family has seen her a few times, but they think that this child is very smart and smart, and if she is allowed to grow wild outside, it will delay this child's good qualifications. It's better to let her go into the palace in a few days to stay with the mourning family for a while. ”

After Ji Erlan came out of the Ji Mansion, he immediately went to Yandang Mountain with King Du, almost everyone knows it, and the Queen Mother is naturally clear. What is the intention of coming to him to say such things to him now? Ji Chenglin became more and more puzzled about the Queen Mother's intentions, forcibly suppressed the surprise in his heart, calmed his face, and said, "Yes......"
