Killing the King (1)
Chapter 180: Killing the King (1)
I heard that Yao Ronghua kept shouting that he was wronged after being put on death row, and then he came back to his senses and finally understood that he was the real murderer, and shouted to see the emperor.
How could Shen Wan allow her to see the emperor? just said lightly to the criminal department Shangshu: "The emperor is a filial son, the death of the queen mother is a great blow to the emperor, this palace doesn't want to hear everything about the sinner Yao Siying, do you understand the meaning of this palace?" ”
Of course, Shangshu of the Criminal Department did not want to offend the queen and the emperor because of this incident, and immediately ordered Yao Siying to be executed three days later. Her family was also convicted and beheaded.
As soon as Yao Siying died, Shen Wan seemed to relax and cheered up to prepare for the funeral of the Queen Mother. I have to be busy until late at night every night before I go to bed.
When the night came again, Chun'er helped Shen Wan fold the quilt and make the bed, Shen Wan sat under the lamp, and the shadow of the lamp shone on her face, as unfathomable as a ghost.
She tapped her crystal nails lightly on the tabletop, paused, and said to Xiang Ming, "Bring me some scissors." ”
Although she didn't know what she was going to do, she did so and got her a pair of scissors. Shen Wan took it and cut off the nail of the little finger of her right hand.
Chun'er was walking over and seeing that the two-inch long shallot-like nails were cut off, she suddenly said with some distress: "Such beautiful nails, what a pity to cut them!" ”
At this time, the two of them were waiting for Shen Wan in the inner room, and Shen Wan smiled strangely at Chun'er and said, "If I don't cut it off, I'm afraid that one day I will be poisoned if I am not careful." ”
Xiangming and Chun'er's faces changed, and Chun'er asked tremblingly, "Poison ...... Poison? What do you mean? ”
Shen Wan was silent, gently picked up the broken nail with scissors, and put it on the fire, only to see a wisp of green smoke "zing" up, and a piece of turquoise appeared at one end of the nail.
Chun'er's eyes widened, she covered her mouth, and was speechless in horror.
Xiangming probably guessed something, but she looked at Shen Wan in disbelief, took a deep breath, and asked, "Could it be that the Queen Mother was not poisoned by Yao Ronghua, but ......?"
Shen Wan didn't deny it, nodded and said, "Yes, it's me." She smiled again, and threw the gas-stained nail into the charcoal stove, and soon it turned into a pinch of powder, and she couldn't tell what it was. She said again: "Presumably Yao Ronghua was the first to wake up, otherwise she wouldn't be so anxious to see the emperor." But she ignored one thing, since the palace could blame her, how could she let her see the emperor? ”
Xiangming thought for a while and said, "But that tea is indeed brewed by Yao Ronghua, and it is also specially brewed for you to drink." Even if you want to poison Niangniang, how do you know that the Queen Mother will definitely go and drink that cup of tea? ”
Shen Wan shook her head and said, "I didn't know that the Queen Mother would definitely drink that cup of tea, so I kept hiding poison powder in my nails, and I just wanted to wait for the right opportunity to poison it." But I didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly and so well! I deliberately got close to Yao Ronghua, so that the Queen Mother had a grudge against Yao Ronghua, I thought, putting the poison into Yao Ronghua's Xianfu Palace and blaming her would kill two birds with one stone! ”
In fact, it was only when Shen Wan held the cup of maple dew in her hand and said those sincere and fearful words to the Queen Mother that she realized that this was a great opportunity, so she immediately gently flicked the poisonous powder in her nails into the tea. If the Queen Mother doesn't drink it, she will break it by mistake, and then blame Yao Ronghua for poisoning the queen!
In short, this time, Yao Ronghua must die!
Queen Mother, if you want to blame her, you can blame her for being too self-righteous!
Even if the Queen Mother is not eliminated this time, Shen Wan will still find a chance to get rid of her in the future!
Chun'er sighed: "It is said that Yao Ronghua has been scolding Niangniang before she died, she said that she regarded Niangniang as a friend, but Niangniang treated her like this......"
"Friends?" Shen Wan snorted coldly, "Treating me as a friend is her biggest mistake!" When I killed Sister Xianya, did you ever think that Sister Xianya and I were friends! ”
As for why Yao Ronghua poisoned the queen, Duan Concubine had already passed on this matter to others, it turned out that Yao Ronghua had a private meeting with a man at night, and was discovered by the queen, and the queen did not make a public announcement in order to protect the reputation of the harem, but only taught Yao Ronghua a lesson in private. Yao Ronghua is good friends with the queen on the surface, but in fact he is dissatisfied with the queen, and he is afraid that the queen will inform the emperor of this matter, so he wants to kill the queen!
This matter is getting more and more bizarre, and some people even say that Yao Ronghua has coveted the queen's position for a long time from the beginning, relying on the support of the queen mother, and getting rid of the queen so that he can sit in that seat by himself! Who knew that the Queen Mother was the queen's substitute ghost, what a pity!
There are different opinions, in the face of these, Shen Wanhe has leisure to pay attention to it, just wearing plain clothes every day, busy with funerals, and finally has time to rest at night, she has to copy the scriptures herself, for the queen mother.
After doing enough, she started the emperor's dragon body again, and she had to prepare some delicious snacks to greet the Qiangong every day, but Chu Xichen didn't want to see Shen Wan at all because of the pain of losing her mother.
Shen Wan was holding a box of snacks, and was once again stopped outside the door of the Qiangong by Xiaoshizi, smiled faintly, and said, "It's okay, tell the emperor to eat more, don't exhaust your body." I'll go back first, and I'll come to see the emperor another day. ”
Back in the palace, Chun'er asked worriedly: "The emperor won't ignore Niangniang from now on, right?" ”
Shen Wan's expression didn't move, did she ignore it from now on? How can I implement the next plan without your favor?
It snowed heavily at night, and on the second day, the entire palace was covered with white, Shen Wan was only wearing a pure white gown, without any warm clothes, her long hair was like a waterfall, without a little chisel ring, she walked to the door of the Qiangong Palace, knelt down straight, and said loudly: "Please cherish the dragon body!" The emperor has not been out of the palace for several days, the officials are worried, and the harem is sad. The concubine implored the emperor to mourn! The queen mother has gone, and the concubines know that the emperor is in great pain, and the concubines do not expect to replace the pain in the emperor's heart, but only ask the emperor to take care of the dragon's body, and the concubines are willing to suffer the pain of the emperor's skin! With that, she respectfully kowtowed three times, each burying her head deep in the snow.
In the middle of the night, the door of the Qiangong finally opened, Chu Xichen walked out, saw Shen Wan like this, and immediately rushed to her to pick her up, and said in a hoarse voice: "Wanwan, why are you suffering?" ”
Shen Wan was shivering from the cold, smiled sadly at him in his arms, and said, "The emperor is finally willing to come out, everyone is very anxious......" After speaking, tears couldn't stop falling. Chu Xichen sighed, hugged her, and carried her back to the palace.
Until the evening, Chu Xichen stroked Shen Wan's soft skin and said softly: "Although I don't have a very deep relationship with my mother, she is my biological mother after all, and the October pregnancy brought me to this world, without her, I can't be this emperor." ”
Shen Wan lay in his arms softly, wrapped her arms around his waist, buried her head in his chest, and sighed.
Now, do you finally feel the pain of losing a loved one?
Do you know what kind of hopelessness it is when my mother, who has always loved me, smokes in front of me?
