The moonlight melted, and the capital that had been baptized by the bloody rain and bloody wind was silent.

The palace was as silent as death, not even the sound of birds.

A woman struggled to roll over on the cramped bed, gasping for cloudy air.

She felt thirsty, wanted to drink water, habitually wanted to call someone, and suddenly remembered that it was no longer what it used to be, and there was no one left for her to call to.

She sighed, awkwardly got out of bed, and got up to get water to drink.

The water was placed on a table in the corner of the room, a porcelain kettle, and a wooden bowl, which contained the overnight tea water, which was astringent and rancid.

She took a sip and slammed the bowl to the ground in a huff, the room was so narrow that the bowl rolled to the wall when it fell to the ground, making a muffled "plop" sound.

She sat down in frustration, holding her forehead and sighing, her silhouette old and haggard in the bright light.

On the wall of the room, one eye watched her every move from the outside through the special hole in the wall, and when she saw this scene, she smiled and said in a low voice: "Queen Mother, this tea is not delicious, right?" ”

The woman raised her head, as if it was the Empress Dowager Wei, who had been missing for a long time.

Her hair was gray, she had a scar on her face, and there were wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and she had long since lost her beauty and pride.

Empress Dowager Wei looked at the hole in the wall resentfully, gritted her teeth and said, "Slut, let me out!" ”

With a "bang", she screamed, squatted in the corner of the wall with her head in her hands, and shrunk into a ball, thinking that it would be some strange dirty thing or itchy poisonous water, but who knew that it was just an ordinary bucket of cold water.

The person outside the cave in the wall chuckled: "I'm in a good mood today, so I won't worry about you, next time, there will be another time it's not so cheap, sugar water and a nest of ants or something, it must be very good." What do you think? ”

Empress Dowager Wei was drenched, shivered, and shouted frantically: "You kill me, you kill me!" ”

"What am I going to kill you for? I'm going to keep you and play slowly. The laughter of the people outside the wall was hoarse: "I want you to watch your sons die one by one, and look at your relatives, all of them are dead!" ”

Empress Dowager Wei's eyes widened in surprise: "What did you do?" What exactly do you want? ”

The man said, "Oh, yes, I forgot to tell you. Master Wei and King Qi colluded to rebel and failed, Wei Qi was killed on the spot, and now his body is being exposed at the entrance of the vegetable market. The Wei family has all been imprisoned, the dead are dead, the wounded are wounded, the orphans and widows, tsk, it's really miserable...... King Qi's Mansion has also been caught, and the cry is earth-shattering, so it's not miserable......"

She spoke slowly, describing in detail, lest Empress Dowager Wei would hear any details, but she just refused to tell Empress Dowager Wei what was the current situation of Empress Dowager Wei and King Qi.

Afraid that the Empress Dowager Wei was not desperate enough, she added: "By the way, the eldest princess of the protector said that the Empress Dowager has never seen anyone dead or dead like this, it is not appropriate, if you can't find it for a few more days, arrange for her to die." You're going to be a dead man who doesn't do anything! ”

Empress Dowager Wei's face became more and more pale, her water-soaked hair was knotted and stuck to her face, her eyes were empty and desperate, and her voice was hoarse and ugly: "What about King Qi?" How is King Qi? What happened to my brother? ”

"You beg me. Ask me, and I will tell you. The man sneered, smugly, "Tsk, they are your last hope, Your Majesty and Your Highness the Eldest Princess, I wish you would never show up again, so they will be at ease." ”

Empress Dowager Wei's nails that had not been trimmed for a long time sank deep into her palms, but she didn't know the pain at all, for a person like her, whose identity and power were greater than everything, depriving her of her identity and having nothing was the biggest punishment.

She stared blankly at the bare walls, filled with despair and fear.

After the fire broke out that night, she was taken away on her back, she thought that her family had come to save her, and she was very cooperative, but she didn't know when she was knocked out and died.

When I woke up, I was in such a cramped room. There were no windows in the room, only a small door, the air was not circulated, it was full of bad smells, and the roof was always bright with a bright light.

The room is so narrow that even a small bed can only be placed on three sides against the wall, and a narrow table is placed at the end of the bed, and the remaining space is just enough for one person, and the further away is the toilet.

Eating and drinking all passed through the small door, and the delivery of food and the change of toilet were carried out only after she fell asleep, and she could not see anyone, she could not hear a sound, and after a long time, she did not know day and night.

After days and nights, all that was left was fear and despair, she didn't know where she was, how long she had been locked up, who did it, what she wanted to do with her, whether she would keep being locked up like this until she died.

The fear of knowing the outcome has an end, and the fear of not knowing the outcome will never end, only despair.

The only way to get out of this despair is to plead with the one outside.

Empress Dowager Wei raised her head abruptly and said loudly: "I beg you, I beg you." ”

"Hahaha......" The man laughed proudly, laughing hoarsely, "Oh, I'm laughing to death, my stomach hurts with laughter, I really didn't expect it, the indispensable Queen Mother actually has such a day." ”

She suddenly suppressed her laughter and said sharply, "Not enough! Not enough! I want you, kowtow to me, slap yourself, scold yourself every time you ask for a word, and the better the scolding, the more ruthless the better. ”

Empress Dowager Wei couldn't open her mouth, so she snorted coldly: "Then you just wait to be locked up until death, and I'll bring you your son's finger tomorrow!" ”

Empress Dowager Wei kowtowed desperately, slapped herself, and scolded herself.

The man listened with pleasure, and when he had heard enough, he said, "Let's stop tonight, let me tell you, tomorrow, your eldest son will openly try the case of Wei Taishi and King Qi's rebellion, and it is very likely that they will be executed on the spot." ”

Executed on the spot? Empress Dowager Wei froze, and after a moment, she burst out suddenly: "Why is he? Why? ”

"Not on the basis of anything, just because he is the emperor and holds the power of the world, now even Dongling has to be afraid of him, Zhong Wei only wants to scold the face of the king of Dongling County, and scolds the emperor of Dongling, but he is domineering. Tsk, if Wei and King Qi are dead, you will be next. A queen mother who is still alive but has been declared dead, who will lie in the mausoleum of the first emperor instead of you, I don't know who it will be? ”

"I don't want them, I don't want them to die, I don't want to die!"

Empress Dowager Wei got up, rushed towards the small hole frantically, and slapped the wall frantically: "You let me out, I went to beg Your Majesty, it's all my fault, let him not kill Pingye!" ”
