Chapter 961: The Sword Is Invisible
The morning is bright, the queen mother, who has insisted on going to bed early and getting up early for many years, has not gotten up to wash, and the palace maids and eunuchs are afraid of accidents, and they are afraid of being scolded, so after a few calls without answering, please come to tea and wait for the queen mother to get up.
The tea called a few times, and a heavy sigh finally came from the tent. Then, the curtain was lifted, and the Empress Dowager stretched out her hand to help her up.
Hanging the curtain on the hook, Cha'er smiled and said hello to her stepmother, and then bent down to help, but when she noticed the face of the Queen Mother, she couldn't help but be surprised!
Although the Queen Mother is old, her skin is still white, and her eyes are quite bright, why haven't she seen her overnight, her skin has become sallow, and her eyes are dull?
"Mother-in-law, are you unwell? Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look? ”
"Not necessarily. Help the mourning family to dress up and dress neatly, and pass on the party's safety to see you. ”
At that time, Emperor Deyuan was seriously ill, and Dang Ben'an was by his side, and he had to ask again about his deathbed message.
When the Empress Dowager sat in the small hall, leaving only tea to serve by her side, Dang Ben'an also arrived.
Asked about the dying edict of the year, whether he wanted to pass on the throne of Han Zecan, the king of Chengjun, or Han Zexi, the king of Shenjun, Dang Ben'an insisted that he would pass on the throne to the current saint.
Since Cheng Haofeng did not become a national teacher, Dang Ben'an was slowly neglected in the palace, and later he was repeatedly excluded and suppressed by Gao Youquan, and now he has no real power, but he doesn't want to do anything with those secrets, and it is good that the French Dynasty can have a surface stability.
For ordinary people, they are at ease in troubled times, the truth of the palace change is not important, and personal honor and disgrace are not important, after many years in the palace, he knows that it is difficult to find an absolutely wise emperor, and the number of French dynasties is almost exhausted, at least Han Zexi can still maintain a temporary stability.
Seeing that his attitude was calm and firm, the Empress Dowager had a lot less doubts, maybe it was just that she was old and missed her relatives to have such a dream, and in the end, those strange words were probably influenced by rumors, and she thought too much in her heart to have such a dream.
In the next few days, the Empress Dowager's spirit gradually recovered, and on the evening of the sixth day of the first lunar month, Fanbang paid tribute to the barley wine, and Sayiluo set up a wine banquet to invite her to taste, and was half drunk.
In a daze, someone behind the brocade tent was sobbing in a low voice, "Queen Mother...... Queen mother...... The child was scolded by the ancestors and the ancestors, you have to avenge the child......"
"Yes...... The Emperor? The Empress Dowager half-propped up her body and asked at the blurred shadow, she didn't want to be another dream, "Are you the emperor of the mourning family?" Quick, come to the front, let the mourners take a good look at you. ”
As she spoke, she got out of bed with her clothes on, looking at the shadow expectantly.
"No...... The child lost the country, and he had no face to see the ancestors and ancestors......" choked up and couldn't speak, and then cried bitterly, "Woo...... I don't have the face to see my mother......"
It was impossible to determine whether that shadow was Emperor Deyuan or not, and the Empress Dowager wanted to see it very much, but she was afraid that she would suddenly disappear like Emperor Hongcheng last time. In her heart, her son is heavier than her husband, and the pain of her heart is even worse than last time.
"Emperor, let the queen mother see how you are doing?" Her voice was very soft and soft, like many years ago when she lulled her son to sleep, "Look at you again......"
"Nope! I don't want to see you! Emperor Deyuan's ghost suddenly roared, "I am so sick that I will follow the demon path Cheng Haofeng to say what to pass on the throne to that Han Zexi...... You're not sick, so why don't you analyze the situation? Why support Han Zexi? Brother Can and I have the same great-grandfather, the blood relationship is closer, and they get along better, Han Zexi is just the same Emperor Taizu as us, and he has already come out of the five suits in detail, how can I pass on the throne to him? ”
There are also a few lights in the Ci'an Palace at night, and there are lanterns on the main road in the palace that are bright until dawn, there is no dark night, it is still different from the bright world, and everything under the dim light is even more eerie.
"Emperor, you really don't want to pass the throne to Han Zexi? Did you say those words because of the threat? The Empress Dowager asked sadly and frightenedly, "Do you complain that I gave up the country to the rebellious ministers and thieves?" ”
There was no answer, and the shadow behind the tent was full of resentment and shrill laughter, and then disappeared suddenly.
Is it a dream? Not a dream? Did you support the right person back then, or was you confused? He put Han Zexi on the throne, really made her husband dissatisfied, and let her son be blamed by the ancestors?
The Empress Dowager clenched her hands tightly, and she didn't feel any pain even when her long nails were pierced into her palms, she had gone through a lot of winds and waves, and she still didn't believe that she couldn't get through this hurdle.
"Someone...... Come on! She was sure that she was not in a dream, whether her son's ghost was really here, or if someone was pretending to be a ghost, she had to find out.
After screaming several times, an old woman hurriedly ran over, only to find the Queen Mother fainting to the ground.
The old lady found the guards, woke up the little palace maid on duty at night, and hurriedly went to invite Cha'er, and invited the imperial doctor and told the emperor under Cha'er's arrangement.
Busy until almost dawn, the Empress Dowager woke up slowly, and the doctor said that she was not seriously ill, but she was old, and she fainted when she got out of bed and suffered from the cold in a trance.
The Empress Dowager didn't say much, she clearly remembered that she asked the guards to come and see what was after the account, why did the guards faint inexplicably before they came?
This time, she kept an eye on it, and asked people to find the cups, plates, and bowls that she and the maid on duty had used in the past few days, and she wanted to find someone to check it, was she drugged?
Strangely, the clerk replied that because many tableware were broken and injured after the New Year's banquet, all the tableware had been replaced with new ones in the morning, and the old ones were shipped out of the palace.
The Empress Dowager hurried to Ke Yajie's Shouliang Palace, and when she met, she said: "Quickly let people cut off the tableware used by the mourning family, there must be evidence that others have harmed the mourning family......
Ke Yajie looked at her in embarrassment, and before she could think of how to reply, she cried and urged her to hurry up: "Don't you want to know the truth about Han Zexi's succession to the throne when she left a message on her deathbed?" Perhaps, your Ke family would not have ended up with only you two sisters......"
This is a big rebellion, she thought that the queen mother was old and confused, Ke Yajie hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to come.
The Empress Dowager refused to see the imperial doctor, and because Ke Yajie insisted on letting her see a doctor, she broke free from the people who supported her left and right, and ran outside the palace to intercept the dishes and dishes that might have evidence left.
Under the frustration and grief, the dignified and generous Empress Dowager became insane, and even Cha'er, who came with the imperial doctor, thought she was insane.
No one believed her, no one helped her, the Empress Dowager was desperate, thinking that it would be better to die soon to make amends to her ancestors, husband, and son, and cut herself off from eating and drinking.
She often mutters words that no one can understand, even if Han Zexi comes to visit, she dares to directly scold the emperor.
"You will be punished by the rebellious ministers and thieves who deceive the lord and seize the throne! Sooner or later, you will be punished......"
Han Zexi bowed his head and was silent, secretly cursing in his heart that this old woman would die early; Sayiluo lowered his eyes and sneered beside him; Gao Youquan lamented outside the house, as if he was lamenting the impermanence of fate, no one would have thought that he was the one behind the scenes.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, due to the empress dowager's illness, the Lantern Festival was canceled. Just after childhood, she died of old age.
On the twenty-first day of the first month, the funeral of the Queen Mother was completed, which was a little hasty, but all kinds of funeral supplies were extremely luxurious.
Without the Empress Dowager's cover, Cha'er, the tea emperor, suffered a lot of cold eyes, although she cooperated with Gao Youquan in the past, but never got close to each other, on the twenty-sixth day of the first month, she realized that she had to find a new high branch to climb, and agreed to Gao Youquan's invitation.
Gao Youquan invited her to the mansion on the outskirts of Gan Ruju, the banquet was ready, the slaves were dismissed, and the two beauties accompanied him, and he drank happily.
A few years have passed, and Gan Ruju, who is quite beautiful, should still be a, but in addition to her figure, she is still tall and plump, and her face is haggard.
She laughed in a coquettish voice and Gao Youquan, and Cha'er ate slowly and restrainedly, trying not to raise her eyes to look at them.
But after eating and drinking, they deadlifted Cha'er into the bedroom, Cha'er was angry and ashamed and wanted to escape, but before they reached the door, they were bounced back by the invisible air wave.
She understood that this was Gao Youquan's aura mask, and she didn't want to go back tonight.
Stunned, there was a blushing heartbeat sound in her ears, she squinted her head sideways and glanced at the bed, Gao Youquan and Gan Ruju had actually started to reconcile in front of her.
was so shocked that she hurriedly covered her eyes and hid next to the wardrobe, which could somewhat block some clouds and rain.
The eyes are charming and the voice is delicate, but the tea can't feel their pleasure, only the indescribable fear spreads.
She hadn't experienced those things, but she wasn't completely ignorant, and her curiosity drove her courage to look there, and she was almost scared!
Gan Ruju has more breath and less intake, Gao Youquan is still greedy for joy, so that Gao Youquan has the joy of the body, and the happiness of the wisps of life vitality integrated into his meridians, until Gan Ruju turns into a purple and black dry corpse.
Gao Youquan, who was inadequate, turned over and got out of bed and walked towards Cha'er, after being grabbed by great fear, she didn't even have the courage to escape, but kept begging Gao Youquan to spare her life.
She knew a long time ago that Gao Youquan was a fake eunuch, and she was ready to hand over her innocence when she was invited to the appointment, but she didn't expect it to be so terrible!
"Gan Ruju is weak and has no great use value, so she can only sacrifice her life to reflect her value, you are different, you still have great value." The corners of Gao Youquan's lips hooked up a gentle smile, "The longer the value of a woman lives, the more happiness she enjoys......"
The tea trembled like chaff, but she forced herself to be calm, to try her best to be well-behaved, and to please Gao Youquan in order to have a chance to live a long time.
If you obey him, you may inevitably end up with Gan Ruju in the future; If you don't obey him, you will immediately have to be like Gan Ruju.
Tears and cold sweat flowed, Cha'er still showed a beautiful smile like a flower, and there were many complicated emotions to be picked by Ren Jun, and the tangled appearance made Gao Youquan feel more accomplished.
Without a backer, you can only rely on Gao Youquan. Self-pity, why do you always have to be tricked by fate? Born in a eunuch family, his family is in the middle; has to choose to accompany the national teacher, Cheng Haofeng has no good impression of her; It has only been a few years since she became a tea emperor, and she is about to lose her glory and wealth.
The pain in her body and the hatred in her heart superimposed, and she vowed to keep the glory and wealth, and also take revenge! Gao Youquan has more energy than the Empress Dowager, and he may be able to rely on him to trample Hu Xianxian under his feet! She has many enemies, but she hates Hu Xianxian the most, because in comparison, she always seems to be the humble one!
Gao Youquan looked at her with a smug expression: Cheng Haofeng's battle with the East China Sea is about to break out, let them fight, no matter the love battlefield, I am the final winner!
