Chapter 79: Life and Death

After the bracelet incident, Jinxiu took a hole and went into the house, and talked to Zhiwei for a long time, nothing more than how Xiaoling is, how others are, and how they plan to plan in the future.

Zhi Wei smiled lightly and responded one by one, but her eyes wandered out of the window from time to time.

"Little girl, I was dizzy and dizzy from the cold wind outside, what are you sighing for when you are roasting the fire in the house? If you have that kung fu, it's better to find two hemp ropes to wrap me around! ”

The old oak tree, which had been dyed silver and white by the snow, spoke to Zhiwei in a rough voice.

It was old, and it was also infected with human diseases, and the older it was, the less it felt, and in the middle of the night it was woken up by the sigh of the little girl who had just moved in the house, and complained twice, not wanting the other party to understand it, and talked to it.

The old oak tree was still muttering and complaining: "The people who live in this yard are not sensible at all, and they are from the south at first glance, and they don't know that our trees in the north are hard to survive the winter!" I'm too old to take the toss. I don't expect you to wrap me in any kind of silk cloth, but hemp rope is always cheap, right? ”

Zhi Wei was bored, and she also wanted to find something to do for herself, so she distracted herself, so she simply went out to find a hemp rope to wrap around the tree.

This scene fell in the eyes of everyone, and naturally everyone thought about it.

There are people who look at her well, such as Jinxiu, naturally look at Huan, and feel that there is nothing bad about her girl from the inside out, she is beautiful and kind, and she is so careful even when she treats a tree, but unfortunately the future is uncertain, which really worries her.

Some people who see her badly, such as Xiaoling, feel that she is too much, pretentious, or think that she really can't change the habit of being from a low background, and she has to do everything herself.

Jiang Xue saw everyone's expressions in her eyes, and was the first to step forward to help, avoiding everyone and saying a quick word to Zhiwei.

"Girl, Your Majesty hurriedly returned to the palace yesterday because something happened in the palace, and the queen and Wen Meiren were born prematurely."

Zhi Wei was taken aback, "How can this be?" I thought it was a matter of the imperial court......"

She had already calculated that if she could give birth at term, Wen Meiren should be born in the wax moon, and the queen might have to delay until the first month, but now it is the eighteenth day of the winter month, and the two of them were born prematurely at the same time, so it is really impossible for people not to think about it.

"Your Majesty has just ordered someone to pass the word and let the slaves and maids serve the good girl. In the past few days, there has been a lot of chaos in the palace, and the girl is waiting patiently at home, just in time to go to the letter to reunite with Mrs. Song. ”

Zhi Wei showed a look of surprise again, and the way she looked at Jiang Xue was different at this time.

In the past, Jiang Xue was just a small palace person in front of the palace, and because she had a friendship with her, she was transferred to take care of her, and after recovering from her illness, the two have been getting along as they did in the past in Qiande Palace, but they have more time to work together and meet.

In just one day, Zhiwei suddenly changed from a little palace maid to a concubine of King Xin, and then to a person who was forced to enter the palace by the emperor with both soft and hard methods, and was still nameless and pointless for the time being, and Jiang Xue also became her slave from a colleague.

Zhi Wei didn't have time to digest such an abrupt change in identity and status, but at this moment, she guessed a fact from the other party's words.

Jiang Xue is the emperor's person, and she is not an ordinary palace maid!

She said that the emperor had just ordered someone to pass the message, but there was no movement in the small courtyard of the Song family, which could only show that the so-called message was secretly passed on in private. In addition to the two guards of the Xinwang Mansion and the four of Jiangxue on the bright side, could it be that outside this courtyard, the emperor has other eyeliner staring?

Zhi Wei thought about it last night, and she didn't think of a good plan to get out.

She admits that Her Majesty is a good person, and she is indeed a little tempted, but it is not enough for her to give up her freedom and return to the gloomy court like a moth to a flame. The shocking changes in the palace yesterday that Jiang Xue said added a heavy panic to her.

She really doesn't want to live tremblingly in the harem, like Wen Meiren, the vast majority of low-ranking concubines are like this, and she can't wait for a day for a year, and she finally has to be jealous and poisoned by the high-ranking people, and she finally survives until she is in labor and is designed, and she doesn't know if she can get through this difficulty safely.

Zhiwei wanted to run, but she also knew that she was delusional.

Except for Jinxiu, there is absolutely no one among the remaining six people who will help her, and at this moment, she knows that there may be darkness outside, so this mind is even darker, not to mention, she is afraid that if she runs away, she will implicate her brother who is still fighting in the northern Xinjiang.

However, if you can get Your Majesty's permission to return to your hometown to visit relatives, is it good to fake if there is some "accident" on the way?

Zhi Wei had an idea, she had a thought in her heart, and her emotions were much calmer, with only some faint anxiety and guilt.

Last night, she learned from Jinxiu that her mother had rushed back to the capital with people, and it was reasonable to say that she should have arrived ten days ago, but for some reason there was no one for a long time, and there was no reply to Jinxiu's letter for the time being.

If it weren't for the fact that the Su clan was following the dart team and leading a few strong families on the road, Jinxiu would almost certainly have had an accident with the Su clan.

Despite this, Zhiwei is still very worried about her mother's safety.

She simply told Jiang Xue the truth about it and tried to fight to leave Beijing.

"Since Your Majesty has no time to take care of him, and said that I will be allowed to reunite with my family, why don't you go with me to find my mother?"

It's a pity that Jiang Xue immediately vetoed this plan.

"Now that Madame has left for Beijing, most of them are delayed on the road because of something. The letter was not clear, and the girl did not know where the lady had gone, so she hurried to look for it, and maybe she could not find anyone, and she would miss it with the lady. It's just a waste of time to go back and forth, so it's better to wait here for Mrs. to enter Beijing. ”

Zhi Wei didn't give up: "But, what if something happens to my mother?" Sickness, encounters with bandits, or outcasts...... I couldn't rest assured. Jinxiu said, from the capital to Shuzhong, our family has several stations, and every time we come along the road. My mother must have taken this road, so I went to find her along the road and inquired about the news......"

Jiang Xue was so worn by her that she had to promise to report later.

Zhiwei thanked her for her kindness, but Jiang Xue only looked at her regretfully.

"Girl, let me tell you the truth, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't let you out of Beijing. Even at this time......"

"Emperor, you have to take more care of yourself at this time."

The Queen Mother held the Buddha beads and said to Huo Yanzhi: "I've stayed up all night, my eyes are as red as rabbits, let's go back and rest first." Even if my old bones are useless, I can stay here for you for a few hours. ”

Huo Yanzhi politely rejected the queen mother's kindness and refused to go back to rest.

"After working on the mother, the son is not tired."

The Queen Mother frowned: "The New Year is approaching, and the court affairs have always been the most. In the past two days, when I went out of the city and entered the city, the mourning family looked at it, and it seemed that some homeless people had gathered outside the city gate to beg again, and I don't know if it was from other provinces. The snow fell early at the beginning of this year, and the emperor had to pay attention to whether there was a snow disaster in various places. ”

"That's what the Queen Mother said. At today's court meeting, I have already discussed this matter with Guo Shoufu and them, and I have also prepared a response plan. This year's celestial phenomena are strange, and the famine that can be found in a year is almost complete, I am afraid that the heavens are warning me to the Son of Heaven, saying that I am a king without virtue, and I should abdicate and make way for Xian! ”

The Queen Mother was shocked: "Why did the emperor say such depressing words?" ”

Huo Yanzhi raised the topic and looked at the Queen Mother's expression, but he didn't continue to speak, and he didn't have time to say anything.

Because, the green peony suddenly rushed out of the delivery room, shouting loudly to call the imperial doctor, and when asked, the queen was almost out of breath!

"No! You, what a big! ”

The Queen Mother subconsciously wanted to stop: "The imperial doctors are all men, how can they be allowed to enter the concubine's delivery room?" Wouldn't this ruin the queen's reputation? The queen is the mother of a country, not an ordinary concubine......"

Wen Meiren had a difficult life there, so she invited an old lady doctor to go in, and the Queen Mother knew about it.

She also knew that Wen Meiren would probably never have the opportunity to be favored again in the second half of her life, and she was even more impressed by the scene when she insisted on not being a doctor when she gave birth to her second son. Whether it was public or private, she would never approve of such an approach.

The green peony head had sweat on his face that he didn't have time to wipe off, his eyes contained tears, and the whole person was wrapped in a gray despair.

She knelt down in front of Huo Yanzhi with a thud and banged her head.

"Your Majesty, slave maid, please Your Majesty, save our mother. I beg Your Majesty to be merciful, our mother has never done anything harmful, but she was harmed by a villain and ended up in such a situation. I beg Your Majesty to be merciful on the relationship with the mother......"

In the end, Green Peony's voice was so choked that she could barely speak, and her forehead was a dazzling red.

Huo Yanzhi suddenly shook his head, as if he had seen someone through this red and remembered something.

He is the emperor, he is high, he should have seen a lot of such a scene, and his heart is cold, but at this time, he is ruthless to refuse.

One life, no, two lives!

Huo Yanzhi didn't hesitate any longer, and he didn't care about any etiquette and rules, and with a wave of his hand, he directly let the waiting doctors all in.

The Queen Mother blocked to no avail, and she was very angry.

"The emperor is bent on going his own way, don't regret it if you end up infamous in the future!"

Huo Yanzhi said quietly: "If for the sake of etiquette and etiquette, let a person who could have lived die, I really regret it." ”

The queen sank like water, and after the rage, her thoughts couldn't help but drift back to that early summer twenty years ago.

Her gaze unconsciously swept across Huo Yanzhi's face, as if she was looking at him, but it seemed that she was looking at a woman in her past memories through this face.

That woman was a maid in her palace, her appearance was very ordinary, and her background was also very low, but she was pregnant with her back and forth.

At that time, how could Concubine He De have imagined that her casual actions would come back many years later for her biological mother, the Queen Mother.

But she was not happy at all, and when King An died of illness, she even faintly felt that it was her own retribution, and that woman's resentment was avenged on her son......

The Queen Mother didn't dare to think about it anymore.

She is the queen mother of the Great Qi Dynasty, the emperor is her own son, the royal jade is clearly written, there is no third living insider in this matter except for her and Mama He, and Mama He is loyal to her, and this matter will never be known by others again.

She wants to be the queen mother and plan for her own grandson.

One day, she must let the lowly son born to that maid give up the throne!

I don't know how long later, there was a sudden cry in the delivery room.

It was not a small sobbing from a few people who were worried and nervous, but a brief silence like death after the continuous cries of the midwife, and then a cry of mourning erupted in unison.

"Queen, the queen mother has collapsed!"
