Chapter 339: Grapevine
"Is the queen really hopeless this time, and I don't know if the emperor will secretly execute her, or if she will be sent to the cold palace?"
One of the guards started talking, and then another guard said: "You deserve it, poison and kill, how can you be a **?" ”
The guard from before said, "Hey, did you say that the queen really poisoned him?" Could it be a mistake? ”
The other guard said in a relaxed tone: "No, haven't you seen that the queen hasn't made trouble these days?" This is obviously self-conscious, and he doesn't even make trouble, but isn't it just acquiescence? ”
Cui Shao heard it behind the door and smiled slightly, "Actually, there was a trouble, but only once, and the guards of that time had already been cleaned up." ”
Her voice was low, so low that only she could hear it.
After saying this, she walked towards the hall with the food box in her hand, her steps brisk.
The queen leaned against the window in the hall and looked forward, and when she saw Cui Yan coming in, she couldn't help but look at her, and when she saw her carrying a food box in her hand and nothing else, she sat back in disappointment.
Cui Shao saw her gaze and knew what she was waiting for.
She was waiting for a will, a will of the emperor to pardon her innocence and exempt her from grounding.
It's a pity that I didn't wait.
"How? What's new today? ”
The queen asked Cui Shao as usual, and Cui Shao shook her head as usual, "It's soon, the queen mother wait patiently, don't make trouble, the emperor will be disgusted." ”
The queen said disappointedly: "The palace has never cried or made trouble, quietly waiting for the emperor here, waiting for the grievances to be revealed." But it's been a month, and there's still no movement, how can you tell this palace to wait any longer? ”
"Mother, it's really fast this time."
Cui shook his head and said, "The slave maid has a hunch that the emperor's will will come soon, it's true." ”
"Really?"
The queen's spirit had already begun to trance, and she trusted Cui Shao, the only one by her side, and after receiving Cui Shao's affirmative answer, she was as happy as a child.
"Mother, let's eat."
Cui Shao's smile was a little inexplicably ruthless, "After this meal, maybe the emperor's will has arrived." ”
……
"The queen was sent to the cold palace overnight, and it was announced to the outside world that the queen had an incurable disease and died violently. A beautiful funeral was held for her, but the empty coffin did not have to be buried in the concubine's mausoleum. ”
In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor's imperial pen Zhu approved and gave Gao Qishou a will.
This was the queen's will that she had been waiting for a month, but the content was completely different from what she had imagined.
Gao Qishou took the will with both hands and hesitated: "Your Majesty, the Houling has not yet been built, it stands to reason that the queen should be buried in the Concubine Mausoleum and then move in after the construction of the Houling is completed, this is ......."
He suddenly understood something, and he stopped talking.
The emperor glanced at him lightly, "If it is the queen's corpse, it will be buried in the concubine's mausoleum." I don't want her to enjoy the status of the queen, and the title of concubine can always be given. But it's just an empty coffin, so why take a place? Outside the concubine's mausoleum, the place where the guilty concubine was buried was buried at will. ”
Using a beautiful funeral to bury the "queen" in the cemetery of the guilty concubine, the emperor's move is really ironic.
But when you think about it, it makes sense.
The emperor has already spared the queen's life and sent her to the cold palace, if she is also given the treatment of a beautiful burial and a mausoleum, wouldn't it make Su Qing and his loyal ministers in the court chill?
Thinking about it, the emperor's approach is the safest.
Gao Qishou went to Changchun overnight. The palace decreed that the queen could not sleep at night, and when she heard the guard outside the door calling for the chief manager in the quiet night, she was so happy that she immediately got up from the bed.
She even forgot to put on her clothes, forgot to freshen up, and ran out in her bedclothes.
Gao Qishou was startled when he saw the white-clothed figure standing in the courtyard, and after a closer look, he found that it was the queen, she was wearing a white bedclothes, her hair was not combed or powdered, and she looked withered and old.
"Did the emperor ask you to lift the ban on the palace? Isn't it? ”
The queen was very excited, Cui Shao heard the sound of cloaks coming from the apse, and when she saw Gao Qishou and the others, she stopped under the porch and did not approach.
I saw Gao Qishou glance at the queen, and there was a deep pity in his eyes that he had never had.
The queen was stunned, and then saw Gao Qishou unfold the bright yellow scroll in his hand, "The queen takes the order." ”
When the queen heard this, she laughed again, and knelt down happily, "The concubine takes the order." ”
"The queen Wang misbehaved and had a vicious temperament, and poisoned and killed the concubine Su in the palace, causing her to die tragically, which made me despised. For the sake of husband and wife for many years, avoid capital crimes, and enter the cold palace to set an example, admire this. ”
The queen raised her head in a daze, frowned and looked at Gao Qishou suspiciously, as if she couldn't understand what he meant by the will he read.
She looked around stupidly, the empty night, the guards with knives, and the serious faces.
She was in a trance.
Is this real, or is it a dream?
Gao Qishou looked at her gaze and said in a bad heart, "Queen Mother? The Queen? ”
The queen did not react.
Gao Qishou said: "The queen mother is crazy, I don't know if she was imprisoned in the palace for a month and went crazy, or she was frightened when she heard the will to enter the cold palace." ”
Xiao Yizi followed behind him, and when he heard this, he stepped forward, "Master, but the emperor explained that he should move the palace unconsciously tonight, and don't disturb the concubine's peaceful sleep, what should I do now?" ”
Gao Qishou said lightly: "If you are crazy, you can move the palace, what is the difference?" ”
With a wave of his hand, the guards behind him swarmed up and set the queen up. The queen subconsciously wanted to exclaim, but she was stuffed into her mouth by a rough towel, and she could only let out a muffled whimper......
Early the next morning, the will of the queen's violent death spread in the harem.
However, soon there was gossip that the queen did not die violently at all, but had been secretly sent to the cold palace. It is about the honor of the royal family, so it can only be declared a violent death to the outside world.
When Su Youyi heard the news, she thought that this gossip was so fast, and it was conceivable that the emperor deliberately ordered someone to release it.
After all, neither the harem nor the previous dynasty are considered "outside", and what fate the queen ended up with was originally what the emperor had to explain to the ministers of the previous dynasty.
Entering the cold palace can be regarded as giving an explanation to Concubine Wan and giving Su Qing an explanation.
Su Youyi breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup, and suddenly stopped when she was about to drink it.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Shuya looked at her curiously, but Su Youyi frowned and said, "The queen was beaten into the cold palace, what about Cui Shao beside her?" ”
"Emerald Shake?"
Shuya was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Su Youyi asked about Cui Shao, so she turned her head to look at Cui Wei.
Cui Wei hurriedly shook her head, "The slave maid doesn't know, since the queen was grounded, the slave maid and Changchun. Palace has no connection! ”
Naturally, there is no connection.
Su Youyi has openly told the queen about her two-sided spy, and the queen naturally will not let Cui Yao contact her again, and her contact with the queen has been completely severed with the queen being beaten into the cold palace.
