Two hundred and twenty-two, the astonishing truth
Two hundred and twenty-two, the astonishing truth
Empress Gui looked at the beautiful woman who had just returned from a visit in the Qilong Palace, and sighed deeply: "The child is flat, how is your father?" ”
The prince shook his head: "My father was very happy to see us, and his spirits were better, but he was so tired that he couldn't do it without saying a few words, and the child had to say goodbye." The father also said, let's not go back to the prince's mansion for the time being, just live in the old residence in the palace first, the son feels that this may have a deep meaning, and he is very worried! ”
Empress Gui was stunned, a seriously ill emperor suddenly left his son who had left the palace to live in another mansion by his side, which was not a good sign.
Although he has been widowed for many years, he always has a thought, not to mention that he is not willing to sleep with him, but he still takes care of his mother and son everywhere, if there is a three long and two short, who does she rely on? The beauties of the palace have all become widows.
Why can't her days stop? I thought that my son had married a lovely daughter-in-law when he became an adult, so he specially renovated the magnificent prince's mansion for the newcomers to live in, and now his son has fully participated in the court politics.
Who knew that Emperor Wangdi suddenly fell seriously ill, and he couldn't find out what the reason was, but he knew that his body was like a day by day, and he was lying on the bed with weakness.
She waved her hand tiredly: "Okay, if your father asks you to stay, let's stay first, you are also tired, now go and rest, send someone back to the prince's mansion to get some things you are used to and change clothes, and come over to eat with your sister in the evening." ”
Seeing her son and daughter-in-law respectfully retreat, she sat down on the chair at this time, and then a eunuch from the Qilong Palace came to invite, saying that the emperor invited the queen to discuss things.
Empress Gui's heart tightened, although she had just visited in the morning, she still didn't dare to be negligent, so she quickly followed.
On the wide dragon bed of the Qilong Palace, the tent curtains were lowered, and Emperor Wangdi was still lying with a sallow face and weak energy, and he couldn't bear to see Queen Gui coming in and crying while saluting, so he raised his hand and said, "Let the queen worry!" ”
Then he ordered Zheng Gong to withdraw all his servants and personally watch at the door, and not to let anyone approach, he had extremely important things to explain to the queen.
Gonggong Zheng quickly dispersed the minions, and after going out, he covered the door and guarded the door meticulously.
Queen Gui sat on the embroidered pier next to the dragon bed and looked at her husband who had not been so close for a long time, and her heart warmed.
Soon she was surprised to see that Emperor Wang, who had been on the sickbed for several days and couldn't get up, didn't need anyone to help him get up and get out of bed.
Surprised, he was about to help, but Emperor Wangdi made a deep bow to her: "The imperial sister-in-law is above, please accept the emperor's brother!" ”
Imperial sister-in-law? Brother Huang? Empress Gui suddenly raised her head and stared at Emperor Wang, extremely shocked and puzzled in her heart, what does this mean? What's going on here? Her voice trembled and she spoke: "What does the emperor mean by this?" The concubine doesn't understand what you're talking about? ”
Emperor Wang's eyes were moist, and his face showed sadness: "I wanted to take the imperial sister-in-law directly to see it, but I was afraid that it would scare the imperial sister-in-law too suddenly, and the imperial sister-in-law had been wronged all these years, but my younger brother was unable to have children!" ”
It seems that something shocking happened, Queen Gui's whole body trembled slightly, she didn't dare or wanted to think deeply, her husband who had been with her for many years actually claimed to be the emperor's brother, what was the shocking secret in this?
Emperor Wang wiped his eyes: "Emperor Brother Tang Jiezhi is the twin brother of Emperor Brother Tang Minzhi who has never been known to the world in the dark. ”
Empress Gui looked over suddenly, staring at Emperor Wang's face that was almost the same as her husband Tang Minzhi, obviously unbelievable, this was the most surprising and absurd thing she had ever heard in her life: "What did you say? What twin brothers? What the hell is going on? If you really aren't Minzhi, what about Minzhi others? ”
Emperor Wang's eyes were full of sorrow, and tears finally burst out of his eyes: "If my brother says, the imperial sister-in-law must hold back." The emperor's brother died of a serious illness ten years ago, and before leaving, he was afraid that the prince would be young and the court would be unstable, so he was replaced by his younger brother Li for ten years. The royal brother promised me that day that I would leave when the prince was in control of the court. Today, the prince is an adult, and he is fully able to sit on the throne, and his younger brother wants to leave and return to the prince! ”
Empress Gui trembled all over, her brain was already a mess, and she barely sat up: "If you are not Minzhi, then what about Minzhi?" How could he be such a big living person, how could he be born and disappear! ”
"There is a secret room in the Qilong Palace, and the bones of the royal brother have been stored here, if the imperial sister-in-law is not afraid, please follow me to see it!"
When Empress Gui heard the word corpse, she almost fainted, but she barely stood still on the bedpost, and nodded like ashes.
Emperor Wang walked to the east side of the dragon bed, where there was a small shelf, where he usually read books and some exquisite decorations, he actually had the strength to move him away, and Empress Gui realized that he was just pretending to be sick.
Removing the shelf, there was indeed a small door, the color of the door was exactly the same as the wall, and no one would have thought that this was actually a dark room.
Emperor Wang saw that Empress Gui was in a trance, and he was afraid that she would fall, so he no longer avoided helping her into the dark room.
The lights inside are lit up in turn, it looks quite spacious, the walls and the ground are all marble veneer, clean and smooth, Queen Gui is a little more at ease, and there is still a secret door when she takes another step, Emperor Wangdi stepped forward and pressed the password to push open the secret door, and suddenly the cold air that invaded the bones came to the face, and the two couldn't help but shiver, as if they had walked into the nine cold days.
Empress Gui endured her fear and discomfort and looked over, and there was only a large transparent freezer covered with frost, and through the frost flowers, she could see that there was a person lying inside.
Seeing her crumbling appearance, Emperor Wangdi hurriedly held her tightly, and two lines of tears fell: "That's the imperial brother, he has been lying here for ten years!" ”
Empress Gui stabilized her mind, took a deep breath of cold air, and her mind cleared up a little, she pushed Emperor Wangdi and walked over, lying on the freezer to check, first taken aback, was it her husband lying in the freezer? Looking back at Emperor Wang, who had the same face as him, he suddenly understood what was going on, and he broke out and cried bitterly, as if he was going to cry all the grievances and neglects he had suffered over the years.
Seeing that she was almost crying, Emperor Wangdi stepped forward and pulled her up: "Sister-in-law's Day mourning, my brother has something very important to tell you!" ”
Empress Gui turned her head and forced her eyes to look at him: "Tell me, what's going on?" Please tell me without telling me! ”
"It's too long to say this, and it's too cold here to stay for a long time, so please return to the palace and listen to me slowly."
The Qilong Hall was gorgeous and empty, the tea was fragrant, and Emperor Wangdi and Queen Gui talked for a whole afternoon.
