In the huge dormitory, only Xia Shouzhong accompanied Concubine Rong, Xia Shouzhong stood behind the curtain, and Concubine Rong sat next to the emperor's bed. The Emperor reached out and took one of Concubine Rong's hands, and she kept wiping her tears from her eyes. The emperor looked at her pointed chin, and inevitably felt some pity in his heart, "You've worked hard these days!" ”

  Concubine Rong shook her head, so sad that she couldn't speak, the emperor looked at everything in the hall with nostalgia, and the excitement, excitement and the pleasure of dominating the world in the days of the first ascension were still filled in my heart, so many years, there has not been a slight reduction, no wonder it is said that the emperors of the past dynasties are not old, and these never-calm moods are also one of the reasons.

  "It's time for me to leave, Chan'er, it's you who I am most reluctant to bear!" He held Concubine Rong's hand and pinched it, but he had no strength, Concubine Rong sobbed more and more, her voice was full of depression, and the emperor was satisfied when he heard it, "In this life, I have failed you, and I can't do without you the most." ”

  Concubine Rong threw herself on top of him and cried, "Your Majesty, you can also take me away, if you are not there, what hope do I have in this palace?" The long night is lonely, life is better than death, I don't want to live anymore, your majesty, you give an order, let the concubines be martyred for Your Majesty! ”

  "Mother, you can't!" Xia Shouzhong walked out from behind the tent and threw himself down in front of the bed, "Your Majesty, you can't take Niangniang away, if Niangniang is gone, how will the minions live in the palace?" Niangniang, you also have to think about the Eighth Highness, the Eighth Highness is brave and good at fighting, a generation of generals, you can't just leave him behind, and the little sons! ”

  The emperor saw Concubine Rong crying bitterly, and he also shed tears, he raised his hand and touched Concubine Rong's head with difficulty, "Emperor Taizu has already issued a strict decree to abolish the bad custom of martyrdom. If I return to the sky, even the palace maids will not be allowed to be buried, let alone ask you to follow. You and I have been married for many years, and so far I have not been able to give you a good name, Xia Shouzhong, pass on the decree! ”

  Xia Shouzhong took two steps on his knees and listened to the emperor's words, "Passing the decree to the cabinet, Jin Feng Concubine Rong is the queen, I am now in poor health, and the canonization ceremony should be postponed, and the golden book and Jinbao will be promulgated first, without delay!" ”

  Xia Shouzhong was immediately overjoyed and wanted to go, but Concubine Rong stopped him and shook her head at the emperor, "Don't want the concubine, the concubine only wishes Your Majesty to get better, and the concubine is willing to go to fasting, and she will be a vegetarian Buddha for a lifetime, reduce the life of the concubine, and only wish Your Majesty can live forever!" ”

  The emperor burst into tears again, he couldn't raise his hand to touch Concubine Rong's face, he only smiled, and told Xia Shouzhong to go on an errand, and said, "Spread Meng Qing, Lin Ruhai, King Zhongshun and Zhou Peide to meet you!" ”

  Concubine Rong had to retreat, when Xia Shouzhong went out, he passed by her, the two looked at each other, Concubine Rong nodded, stood outside the Jingde Palace, Concubine Hui and Concubine Ling, who came in a hurry, saw it, saluted her, Concubine Hui said, "Sister is really amazing, she can run this palace without leakage, and now, we can't meet the emperor if we want to!" ”

  Concubine Rong stood on the steps and looked at Concubine Hui condescendingly, "Sister Concubine Hui, speaking of which, you entered the palace earlier than me, for so many years, the palace only knows that there is your Sister Concubine Hui and I don't know that there was once a queen mother." It's just that Sister Huifei always says that her body is not good, and the emperor just wants Sister Huifei to run the palace well, and she has to ask Sister Huifei to be willing to help! ”

  Concubine Hui was about to step forward, and two chamberlains stepped forward, "Please stop Niangniang, Your Majesty has made a decree, no one is allowed to enter the palace without being summoned, please be considerate of the slaves!" ”

  "What about her? She has been in front of His Majesty for so long, she is His Majesty's concubine, Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, I have been favored by His Majesty so far, how can I not go to serve the sick? ”

  "Your Majesty is fine, and there is no will to summon Niangniang and ask Niangniang to return to the palace!"

  Concubine Ling said, "Sister Imperial Concubine, we are all old men in front of His Majesty, and we don't have to do those dramas to show others, so my sister will say, are these people my sister's?" ”

  Concubine Rong smiled, "What kind of joke is Sister Concubine Ling talking about, could it be that in the eyes of Sister Concubine Ling, everyone in this huge Jingde Hall is now listening to the instructions of this palace?" Where did Concubine Ling's sister put Her Majesty? ”

  As he was talking, he could only hear Xia Shouzhong's sharp voice shouting in the front hall, "The princes of Xuan are here, and the civil and military officials above the second rank are waiting outside the palace!" ”

  Concubine Rong was no longer willing to talk to Concubine Hui and Concubine Ling, she stood on the steps, looking towards the front hall, her face was as calm as water, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Concubine Hui and Concubine Ling were also nervous, as if their eyes could penetrate this heavy palace and see clearly what was happening in the emperor's bedroom.

  After a long time, Concubine Hui couldn't hold it anymore, and Concubine Ling's heart was beating like a drum, "Imperial Concubine, isn't Your Majesty's body very bad?" ”

  Concubine Rong didn't answer and turned a deaf ear. Although she was 100% sure, she was still very nervous, and her palms were sweaty. Fortunately, this time was not long, the princes rushed in, and even the deposed emperor's eldest son came, kneeling in the front, looking at the emperor who was lying on the dragon couch, and there was only a breath in and no breath, and he only felt a burst of ridicule in his heart. Yun You knelt behind him, hearing the sound of the emperor snorting and phlegm, Xia Shouzhong stood in front of the couch, and the four ministers who had just been called knelt behind the princes, he knelt on the ground, and Yun Zhen, who had not looked up, glanced at it, and announced the decree,

  "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Jingyang Palace imperial concubine is virtuous and virtuous, tied to Gao Hong, auspicious bell Qili...... Ordered to book the treasure, Lier as the queen, and the eighth son of the emperor Yun Zhen was established as the prince, and he hereby inherited the unification, announced the world, and made the salt know! ”

  Xia Shouzhong's words fell, and the entire hall was so silent that a needle could be heard falling on the ground, and suddenly, a voice came from the end, "This, this ......"

  Everyone turned around, Yun Zhen's eyes fell on that person, it was Zhou Peide, with his neck stalked, his face was red, and King Zhongshun took a deep look at Yun Zhen, and said to Zhou Peide with a sideways look, "Zhou Peide, if you have something to say, do you want to be corrective?" ”

  Yun You got up and said, "Zhou Peide, what do you want to say?" For more than ten days in a row, the palace was sealed like a bucket, except for the eighth brother, no one wanted to come in, today the father has an order, among the four ministers who were called, three of them are friendly with the eighth brother, one of them is still the eighth brother's father-in-law, what the father and emperor have made, no one knows, Zhou Peide, if you can tell the truth, you are a loyal minister, and you will have your first position in the Lingyan Pavilion in the future! ”

  King Zhongshun stood up, "Yun You, what do you want to do?" You dare to allow the position in the Lingyan Pavilion, can it be said that if Zhou Peide follows you, he is loyal, and if he doesn't follow you, it will be overbearing? ”
