“…… Grandma Xie was annoyed and angry, and slapped Uncle Xie at that time. also asked Uncle Xie if a slap was enough. Uncle Xie was so stunned that he didn't dare to say anything, and obediently helped Grandma Xie into the house. ”

Fu Yumei danced and said the lively scene in front of the Xie Mansion.

Sure enough, Xie Mingxi smiled: "Oh? Xie Yuanting was beaten and didn't say anything? ”

Fuyu nodded again and again: "But isn't it?" There were five red fingerprints on his face at that time, and Grandma Xie didn't save half of her strength! ”

In the past, Xie Yuanting had a high heart and wanted to be face-saving. I really didn't expect such a day.

"What are you talking about? Why are you so happy? Sheng Hong's familiar voice rang out. Along with this, there is also a strong smell of alcohol.

Xie Mingxi frowned, raised his eyes and looked over: "Didn't you take the sobering pill?" ”

Sheng Hong was full of wine, his steps were slightly vain, his handsome and fair face was flushed, and his eyes were amazingly bright. Apparently drank too much.

She specially prepared a sobering pill for him. If you take it before the palace banquet, you won't get drunk if you drink two pots of wine.

"It's really not fun to take sobering pills and then drink alcohol." Sheng Hong boasted unashamedly: "Besides, I drink so well, where do I need to take any sobering medicine." ”

Xie Mingxi glanced at Sheng Hong angrily and funny: "Yes, yes, yes, you have a good amount of alcohol, and you are not drunk in a thousand glasses." ”

Sheng Hong came over with a smile: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, you won't dare to be a husband in the future." By the way, he stole an incense on her cheeks, and all the palace maids bowed their heads and withdrew.

Xie Mingxi had nothing to be ashamed of, so he only reached out and twisted Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong took advantage of the strength of the wine to carry Xie Mingxi to the bed, kissed Xie Mingxi carefully, and flexibly burrowed into the placket with his big hands...... The temperature rose rapidly, Xie Mingxi's cheeks were stained with an intoxicating flush, and his eyes were sultry.

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Sheng Hong raised his voice a little impatiently and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

If there is nothing important, who would dare to disturb the emperor and queen at such a beautiful time?

Xiang Hui's hurried voice sounded outside the door: "Emperor Qiqi and the queen mother, Cining Palace sent a letter, the queen mother is not good!" ”

What the?

What's bad?!

Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi were startled, and all the charm suddenly dissipated.

Xie Mingxi quickly straightened out his clothes and quickly opened the door: "Xianghui, what's going on?" The imperial grandmother is fine during the day, why is it suddenly not good? ”

Xiang Hui hurriedly responded: "What the specifics are, the slave and maid don't know very well. The palace maid who came to deliver the letter was so frightened that she was almost speechless. Please ask the queen mother and the emperor to go to Cining Palace immediately to have a look! ”

Sheng Hong also sorted out his clothes, came quickly, and held Xie Mingxi's hand: "Mingxi, let's go to Cining Palace." ”

……

The first day of the new year is the beginning of the year and the most festive day of the year.

Empress Dowager Li stayed alone in Cining Palace, feeling a little uncomfortable.

People's ambitions and desires are piled up little by little.

On that day, she fell ill on the couch, unable to move, unable to speak, life was worse than death, and she hated to die. Xie Mingxi appeared like a savior, which greatly alleviated her illness and gave her the courage and confidence to resist Empress Dowager Yu again.

At that time, she was sincerely grateful to Xie Mingxi. is also willing to be Xie Mingxi's knife.

When Empress Dowager Yu was defeated and trapped in the Fulin Palace, she was even happier in her heart.

Later, she gradually became unhappy.

She is the empress dowager, the emperor's grandmother, and should also be the most honored and beautiful woman in Daqi. Staying in Cining Palace all day is no different from house arrest, where is there still the majesty of the Empress Dowager?

On the first day of the New Year, she didn't even go to the Jiaofang Palace to be majestic, and stayed in Cining Palace aggrievedly. How can you not be depressed?

was depressed, and the Empress Dowager Li simply ate and drank to relieve her boredom.

There is a lily lotus seed soup in the imperial dining room, which is sweet and glutinous. Empress Dowager Li ate happily and ate a bowl cleanly. It was such a coincidence that the last lotus seed was stuck in the throat.

In just a few moments, he was choked and his face turned blue.

The palace maid who was waiting on the side was frightened and immediately went to call the imperial doctor. As a result, by the time the imperial doctor arrived, the Empress Dowager Li was already hopeless......

When Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi rushed to Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Li closed her eyes, and her breath was gone.

All the palace maids in Cining Palace knelt with no faces, and the less timid ones were all trembling with fright.

Several imperial doctors also looked miserable.

Speaking of which, this is the Empress Dowager Li who was choked to death and lost her life when she was too greedy to eat too quickly and violently, and it is the Empress Dowager Li's bad luck, no wonder anyone.

But in the palace, if something happened to the master, it was the slave's fault.

If it was a trivial matter, it would be fine, but the Empress Dowager Li lost her life. For the palace maids, it is a great sin. Perhaps, all the palace maids will not survive tonight.

Several imperial physicians also had the fear of impending great disaster.

Sheng Hong's face was ugly, and he leaned over to probe the snort of the Empress Dowager Li. Then, he turned his head and glanced at Xie Mingxi.

It's out of gas!

It's really damned!

Xie Mingxi's brows furrowed.

It was a bit unfortunate to encounter such a thing on the first day of the new year. More importantly, the death of Empress Dowager Li left her without a sharp weapon to suppress Empress Dowager Yu......

It's just that it's useless to think about anything now.

People are dead, and they can only handle the funeral first.

Xie Mingxi sighed secretly and ordered in a deep voice: "Someone comes, immediately send a funeral message and ring the death knell." ”

……

On the night of the first day of the new year, for the people of Beijing and the officials, it is a time of joy and joy for family reunion. Especially the civil and military officials, they entered the palace before dawn early in the morning, and did not return to the house until it was dark. As soon as I ate a hot meal, before I could fill my stomach, the death knell rang.

Hundreds of officials: "......"

The first reaction of the officials was, they must have heard it wrong!

According to the practice in the palace, when the concubines return to the west, the palace will send a mourning letter and will not ring the death knell. The only people who are qualified to ring the death knell are the emperor and the queen mother, as well as the queen mother.

The second reaction was, yes.

Dead in the palace!

Who died? Could it be Empress Dowager Yu! Empress Dowager Yu has also been ill for many days......

The sound of the death knell echoed one after another.

The officials finally came back to their senses and immediately asked their children and grandchildren, who were sharp-eyed: "How many death-knells rang just now?" ”

"Six-six-thirty-six!"

It turned out that it was the Empress Dowager Li who died!

Empress Dowager Li lived to be over 60 years old, which is considered a long life. Moreover, the Empress Dowager Li has been ill for several years and rarely appears in front of people. This death was not much of a surprise.

The officials, who had just left the palace not long ago, immediately changed their mourning clothes and entered the palace with the ladies to kneel for the Empress Dowager Li.
