Chapter 398: Defeat

Tinglan stood silently behind Wu Wei, looking at the mess in his eyes, and his heart was terrified: "Master, we are only one step away...... Will the emperor and queen be to blame? ”

Wu Wei didn't say anything, and his back looked so bleak and lonely.

"Master, otherwise, let's continue to pursue and intercept King Yeqing or Jiang Yu, even if we can restrain one." Tinglan frowned: "It's good to be able to count the merits and demerits." ”

"It's useless." Wu Wei sneered: "I boasted about Haikou, and only asked the queen for burning arrows and a hundred archers." Around King Yeqing and Jiang Yu, there is definitely more than that. Even if the army is heavily damaged, how can I, a champion who has never made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, be their opponent? ”

"What then?" Tinglan was obviously uneasy: "On the queen's side, I'm afraid I can't explain ......"

"I'll go to the queen and explain this." Wu Weirin turned around: "Let's go." ”

After a few days, the army quickly returned to the imperial city.

Jiang Yu was quite polite, and the army was only stationed ten miles outside the imperial city for repairs.

King Yeqing directly introduced his own people into the imperial city and stopped outside the palace gate.

But the two of them entered the palace directly with a tacit understanding, and neither of them returned to their mansions.

Even Gan Peilin followed Jiang Yu into the palace.

When Wen Xinlan learned that they asked to see her, her heart was half cold.

"I can't complain that in the past few days, no news has come back at all. Wu Wei is overwhelmed in the end. Wen Xinlan scooped a mouthful of hot porridge with a porcelain spoon and put it directly into the emperor's mouth.

Xuan Qi rolled his eyes when he was hot, and tears were about to flow out.

He took several breaths before he could barely swallow.

"You...... Want to burn me to death? It's easy to speak, Xuanqi's tone is full of reproach.

"The emperor doesn't blame the concubines, the concubines are also occasionally negligent." Wen Xinlan put down the porcelain spoon in her hand, frowned and got up: "Withdraw, the emperor doesn't want to eat it." ”

"You ......" Xuanqi only has this one meal a day, just half a month, skinny skin.

If she hadn't been restrained by drugs and couldn't move, he would have killed this poisonous woman a long time ago.

Now imprisoned in this Changning Palace, she can't even see her cronies, and Xuanqi really can't get rid of her control. "What the hell do you want to do?"

Wen Xinlan waved her hand, retreated from the people around her, and then said quietly: "I thought, if Wu Wei succeeds, King Yeqing and Jiang Yu are both defeated, then the palace can rely on Wu Wei to manage the government." Your Majesty, you can live a few more days. I didn't expect him to be so useless...... Now that the palace has to clean up the situation, and because I offended those two and had to work hard, I am afraid that I don't have much energy to take care of the emperor. ”

"I don't need you to take care of me." Xuan Qi said with a stiff face: "You don't have to worry about these things at all. ”

"Really?" Wen Xinlan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if the concubine is not a daughter's family, but a family like you, she gives birth to the emperor's family...... That concubine must be a candidate for the king who is a hundred times better than you, and she must be a successful strategist. But you ...... In addition to playing with women, what other skills do you have? Oh no, you're best at arrogance and ignorance. If it hadn't been for you insisting on going your own way and having to promote Jiang Yu, would you have today's situation? ”

"What the hell do you want to do?" Xuanqi had a creepy feeling.

"I don't want to do anything." Wen Xinlan gasped and said in a low tone: "It's time...... It's time to send the emperor on his way......"

"What did you say?" Xuanqi glared at her in disbelief: "You say it again." ”

The concubine said...... It's time to send the emperor on your way. Wen Xinlan's eyes were filled with mist: "Your Majesty, the concubine has only loved you in her life." Neither has changed, nor will it be. ”

"Do you love me?" Xuan Qi laughed angrily: "The way you love me is to murder my dragon chair, rob me of my country, and want my life?" ”

"Yes." Wen Xinlan nodded without hesitation: "That's right." Your Majesty, don't blame the concubines, the reason why the concubines are like this is because the love of the concubines is never reciprocated in your heart. Since, if the concubine can't get your person or your heart, she can only take away everything you have, and if she can't make you love deeply, she can only make you hate it to the extreme. After all, you will have a place in your heart for your concubines. ”

Xuan Qi gasped, looked at Wen Xinlan, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Wen Xinlan twisted the silk with her own hands, walked to Xuanqi's side, leaned over, and gently wiped the porridge marks on the corners of his lips for him. "Your Majesty, in a few years, the concubines will also go to the Yellow Spring and return to you. Now, you're going first. ”

"Why did you take away my country, you haven't found my prince until now!" Xuanqi was unwilling to die, his eyes full of anger.

"Poof." Wen Xinlan couldn't help laughing: "What if I really didn't find it, the palace said that whoever is the prince is." In today's court, who else can question the palace? ”

"You ......" Xuanqi felt hopeless at this time.

"During this time, the concubine imprisoned you in Changning Palace. Although I accompany you every day, I am not idle. Wen Xinlan's smile was proud. Those old ministers who support you and have orders that do not respect the orders of the concubines, one by one, are pulled out of the court one by one by the concubines in different ways, they were originally like thorns in the throat, but now they are all a pile of waste, not even a stumbling block. The Emperor ......"

Wen Xinlan raised her head, held back her tears, and said in a choked voice: "At this time, you don't have to worry about your concubines, go on the road with peace of mind." ”

"Pass on the verdict of the Wu court." Wen Xinlan commanded outside the door.

Without waiting for Xuanqi to react, Wu Li walked in with heavy eyes.

"The emperor is dying." Wen Xinlan's eyes were red: "Wu Yuan will do his best." ”

"Wu Di, are you crazy, how dare you listen to the instigation of this poisonous woman and plot to kill my ......"

Before Xuanqi finished speaking, Wu Di had already taken out a very strong silver needle and stabbed it into the back of his neck.

In an instant, Xuan Qi closed his eyes.

Wu Li pulled out the needle, took out the brocade box in his waist, and placed the silver needle.

He turned around and walked towards the queen, presented the brocade box with both hands, and burst into tears: "The queen, the emperor...... Died ......"

Wen Xinlan's body softened suddenly, she fell to the ground suddenly, tears raining down: "Your Majesty ......"

With her back to Xuanqi, she put away the brocade box and cried with her liver and intestines.

Wu Di said respectfully: "Queen Mother, please mourn." ”

With that, he got up and walked step by step with extra force. He opened the door, strode out of the threshold, and raised his voice in an extremely painful voice: "The emperor has died—"

This voice was transmitted one after another by the Tai Tight and the guards in the collar.

At that time, King Yeqing and Jiang Yu walked into the road of the palace, and the sound of cloud boards suddenly sounded.

"This voice ......" King Yeqing's body trembled: "Your Majesty, he ......"

Jiang Yu was also puzzled, and looked at the palace in the distance with heavy eyes.

Gan Peilin's heart is like a mirror, only when the emperor dies, the queen has a way out. She could have put all the blame on the emperor alone, and used this funeral to reconcile with King Yeqing and Jiang Yu, and barely control the situation.

It's just that Gan Peilin really can't understand what kind of mood it is to kill the person he loves with his own hands. Once the trouble in front of her is contacted, how can she let herself accept such an unchangeable fact?

"The emperor has died—"

The little eunuchs ran and shouted, and everywhere they went, the palace people knelt on the ground, all wailing.

King Yeqing still didn't believe it, and rushed towards Changning Palace with a meteor over Jiang Yu.

When she arrived at Changning Palace, Wen Xinlan sat on the edge of the bed, holding a crying baby in her arms, crying hoarsely.

"The queen, the emperor ......" King Yeqing strode in and glanced at the bed.

The Xuan Qi on the bed was thin and imhuman, his face was sallow, and he was no longer the majestic and lofty Ninety-Five.

"How can this be ......" Although King Yeqing had hatred for the emperor in his heart, he still felt that there was something strange about this matter. He didn't believe that Xuanqi would die like this.

Striding to the bed, he stretched out his hand and rested on Xuanqi's neck, and he really couldn't feel his pulse anymore.

"Your Highness, please mourn." Wu Di was in tears, and his voice trembled: "The emperor has a sudden illness, his whole body is paralyzed, and he has a short temper, these days, the queen is taking care of her undressed, and Weichen is also trying her best to heal it, but after all, it is ......."

"What kind of illness did the emperor have?" King Yeqing glared sideways at Wu Di.

At this time, Jiang Yu and Gan Peilin also walked in.

"Osteomalacia." Wu Di said with tears in his eyes: "The bones of the whole body, as if they have been soaked in vinegar, are sour and necrotic, and they are unable to support the body. In fact, the emperor's condition had already been discovered, and as early as three years ago, Weichen had already started to treat the emperor. But this disease ...... There is no cure. There is a medical case in the Tai Hospital, which records in detail the process of diagnosis and treatment and the medication used by the ministers for the emperor. ”

"Hmm......" Wen Xinlan cried loudly: "Your Majesty, how can you be so ruthless to leave your concubine and young son." What do you do with your concubines? ”

King Yeqing really has no way to verify whether Wu Di's words are true or false, even if they check the records, of course what they do will not leak.

"Uncle Huang......" Wen Xinlan said in a difficult voice: "The emperor is gone, the young son is innocent, and the palace just wants to go with the emperor." I will entrust this child to you......"

"Pull the Queen." King Yeqing saw that Wen Xinlan was looking for death, so he hurriedly ordered.

Of course, he didn't care whether the queen died or not.

It was also at this time that people from the royal family also came one after another, and as soon as they entered the inner hall, they were mourning and crying.

The scene was suddenly chaotic.

When Wen Xinlan saw someone coming, she cried even more miserably, and she couldn't take care of the young son in her arms at all.

Gan Peilin strode over and took the child from the queen's hand. "The emperor died, and the queen asked for condolences. The most important thing at the moment is the funeral, and ...... Politics. ”

"Not bad." Someone in the clan immediately responded: "Since the emperor left the prince, I will ask the queen mother to support the young son to ascend the throne and govern the government, and set up the prince regent and the assistant minister to take care of the government on behalf of the emperor, I don't know what the queen wants?" ”
