The Eighteen-Year-Old Queen Mother (1)
The bump of the carriage woke up the sleeping man, Shen Wan opened her eyes, and in the boxy carriage, in addition to her, there was another person: Wei Zifeng.
"You don't have to look at me all the time, since I promised him to live well, I will naturally live well, and I won't have the idea of suicide!" Her lips were a little chapped, and her voice was a little hoarse: "Where are you?" She asked, while opening the window of the carriage, it was too late for Wei Zifeng to stop it, she opened the window of the carriage, and saw that on the side of the street outside, all the merchants were hung with white cloths, and the dazzling whiteness made him feel a sharp pain in his heart.
Wei Zifeng bit his lip, turned his face to the side, and said in a low voice: "The Great Northern Emperor died, this is a national funeral!" ”
Shen Wan closed the window, didn't speak for a while, and asked for a long time: "It's more than twenty today!" ”
Wei Zifeng was stunned for a moment and replied, "It's the twenty-fourth of the lunar month!" ”
Shen Wan grinned as much as she could, squeezing out a smile and said, "It turns out that today is a small year!" We've been on the road for ten days! It's almost time to get to the capital! ”
Wei Zifeng said: "I have arrived in the capital, and I will be able to return to the palace soon!" ”
Shen Wan lowered her head and muttered, "Really? I used to play in the streets, but I don't even know each other! "In the past, the streets were very lively, there were a lot of people, there were shouts everywhere, and there were colors everywhere, but now, there are no people, it is deserted, occasionally a few pedestrians walk by, and they still wear white hats on their heads, and they are surrounded by white fences, and the shops are closed, and they are all hung up in white.
Wei Zifeng saw that she was in a very bad mental condition, since she was rescued by the emperor, she fainted, and then she has been in a trance, she probably didn't know what happened, she would go back to the palace immediately, and tell her some first! So, he told Shen Wan everything that had happened in the past few days.
After the emperor fell off the cliff, Ye Cangqiong did not kill the two of them again, but ordered his own people to quietly withdraw, and Wei Zifeng also asked his subordinates here to retreat first.
Ye Cangqiong is still a person, he didn't take advantage of the situation, and when he saw Shen Wan's appearance, he asked Wei Zifeng to take Shen Wan back, Wei Zifeng told King Zhong about it, and King Zhong went crazy and led his subordinates to attack Yunzhou, but he didn't expect that Ye Cangqiong took the initiative to give up Yunzhou and withdrew back to Yanguan with his subordinates.
So, here Zhang Jinyue sent troops to garrison to do some aftermath work, and the king of Zhong quickly returned to Beijing and told King Yi and Sanzai the news of his death, Sanzai immediately announced that the prince was Zhao'er, and then blocked the capital, King Zhong led troops to guard the main roads, and passed the news to the Qing king of the people, and the vassal kings who monitored all over the country were not allowed to act without authorization, and the violators were killed.
Fortunately, no one mutinied, and the three armies also got the announcement, but it didn't mean that he fell off the cliff, but that he died before the battle.
Now Shen Wan is sitting in the carriage, and behind her is the clothes of Xichen, and she will bring it back to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
"Sanzai has announced that he will be succeeded by the crown prince, as long as you wait for the queen mother to return to the palace, the succession ceremony will be held!" Finally, Wei Zifeng said.
Shen Wan leaned her head on the carriage, quietly closed her eyes to recuperate, and said for a long time: "Got it!" ”
It didn't take long for the carriage to stop, Wei Zifeng got out of the car, Shen Wan was still inside, and she didn't move, as if she heard Wei Zifeng say that she saw the voice of King Yi, so did you come out to meet him? Then she heard a low cry, which grew louder and louder, and gradually converged into a river, as if to annihilate her, and she covered her ears and buried her head between her knees, and she did not listen, she did not listen to these cries.
He won't die if he doesn't die.
Tears welled up again, and the carriage went again, surrounded by terrible cries, which she was at last mixed in, and wept well, hard.
When she got out of the car, she was not surprised to see that the entire queen was plain white, even her own palace, the palace maids and eunuchs were all wearing plain white clothes, even Zhao'er, who was only one year old.
When she returned to the dormitory, Chun'er and Xiangming immediately came up to freshen up and change her clothes, there was no decoration on her head, her body was snow-white, her crying and swollen eyes were like rain-soaked flower bones, as if they would fall off when touched, and her face was bloodless, even so, it added a bit of morbid beauty to her.
Waiting for her to get dressed, Cui Shanggong stepped forward, blessed her body, and said: "Niangniang, all the condolences, you still have His Royal Highness the Prince, there is still a long way to go!" ”
Seeing that Shen Wan didn't have any reaction, and mechanically let the maid help her take care of it, Cui Shanggong sighed, opened the booklet in his hand, and said slowly: "Three days later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will hold a coronation ceremony, and then Niangniang will also need to appear, and the prince will succeed to the throne as the emperor, then Niangniang, you are the Queen Mother, and according to the results of the courtiers and the three zai, King Yi is the regent, and the three zai are the auxiliary ministers. After a pause, Shen Wan still didn't react, she had to say again: "Besides, Niangniang, you are going to move to Shou'an Palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is staying in Qiangong!" ”
"Shou'an Palace, I don't like it!" At this time, Shen Wan finally reacted: "Also, Zhao'er is so small, how can she live alone in the Qiangong, I don't worry, I want to live in the Chengong, and Zhao'er also lives with me!" ”
Cui Shanggong took a note: "Yes!" ”
Shen Wan said coldly: "We can't bully and fiddle like this because of our orphans and widows!" ”
Cui Shanggong said happily: "What Niangniang said is very true, Niangniang and the Third Highness, you must cheer up!" ”
"What about the Regent? I want to see him! Shen Wan said briefly.
Cui Shanggong was embarrassed: "This ...... At this time, I'm afraid it's not in line with the courtesy! ”
Shen Wan frowned, but she didn't force it, she just said: "Then, it's the same if the teacher helps me go on a trip, you go and ask the regent for me, he will definitely protect our mother and son, right?" ”
Cui Shanggong understood, and after retreating, he went to find Xi Chao, who was stunned when asked, and then said: "Wei Chen will naturally be loyal to the new emperor!" ”
After getting such an answer, Shen Wan was finally relieved, she sat down tiredly, and said leisurely: "I don't think he will let our mother and son be bullied!" ”
Looking at Zhao'er, who was still a toddler and ignorant, Shen Wan felt heartache again, and actually ...... didn't leave him a bloodline, and he didn't have any blood connection with him...... She fell on the table and cried again, Zhao'er stumbled up to her, hugged her legs, and cried, "Queen Mother! ”
Shen Wan looked at him, he raised his immature little hand and gently wiped the tears on his face, Shen Wan felt a great pain in her heart, hugged him tightly, but the tears still fell silently, she knew that she had a lot to say to him, and there were still many things she didn't do for him.
