Chapter 218: The Empress

The foreign enemy has already begun to retreat, and the weather is getting colder and colder, this war may not last until the spring blossoms, and the soldiers are also looking forward to returning home as soon as possible and reuniting as a family.

Not to mention the traitorous party, King Xiang has also been defeated and retreated in the past few months, and he has been chased by the king of Lianjun for a long time, and he is miserable.

Besides, the Prime Minister's Mansion is surrounded by officers and soldiers, and no one can easily enter and exit except for daily food.

Not long ago, Qin Zhishu gave birth to a girl, no matter what the Prime Minister's Mansion had done to Zhiwan, Zhiwan still asked the maid to send a congratulatory gift, but in the end, the congratulatory gift seemed to be thrown out.

It was thrown by Princess Xiang, it is said that Princess Xiang is eager to die, especially when the news of King Xiang's defeat came, she was even more bored.

People who have just committed suicide once, and if they commit suicide again, they really don't have the guts, so they chant Buddha and chant sutras every day, but they still can't calm down.

As for King Xiang's henchmen, hundreds of people have been killed in prison in the past few months, and countless people have been confiscated into the army and into the workshop, and the most infiltrating thing is those chaste martyrs, who actually hanged themselves in their families.

Every time Poria heard about it and listened to it at night, Yao's mother glared at her, "You just know these things, tell the princess what to do, in case you have nightmares at night and affect the fetus, be careful of your skin!" ”

Poria pursed her lips aggrievedly, her mother is really timid, is the princess of the county more courageous than anyone else, she is not afraid, is the princess of the county still afraid?

Zhiwan smiled, and didn't take it to heart at all, isn't the imperial power like this, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, in order to prevent future troubles, although he knows that those people are innocent. But it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to commit one.

If you want to say cruelty, of course Zhiwan feels cruel. But is she going to intercede for them? They have to be grateful, besides, rushing into the workshop, it's not the Jiu clan, the ants are still stealing their lives, and they have cut off their own back roads, and they won't pity them at night.

Not to mention. It was not the emperor or the court who pushed them into a corner. It's themselves, they don't know people, if they are loyal to the emperor, will they end up like this?

What did the allegiance to the king get? King Xiang can't even protect himself now, and the court's punishment of them in this way is just to give a wake-up call to those ministers who are forming gangs.

It is inevitable that the court will form a party for personal gain, don't think that you are close to the emperor's son, and you will be able to follow the dragon's merits, and you will be prosperous in the future, you must know that the heavenly family is ruthless, and the princes are actually the emperor's opponents, especially the adult princes. The prince, who holds absolute power in his hands, will not hope that the emperor will die early, so as to make room for them, and the son has no father in his heart. The father still has a son in his heart?

After the body was heavy, Zhiwan rarely even went out of the door of Linmoxuan, reading books every day, occasionally stroking the piano, teasing the two children, and then playing with flowers and plants. Look at the account books.

On this day, Zhiwan was writing a letter in the study. Mother Zheng pushed the door in and said with a smile, "Princess Jun, the father and son of the prince were captured alive!" ”

Zhiwan raised his eyes in astonishment, his eyes were full of joy, this rebellion has really been fought for a long time, and now that the civil strife has subsided, it must not be long before there will be good news at the border pass.

Half a month later, the father and son of Xiangwang were pressed into Beijing, and a few little maids in Poria couldn't bear to go out to see, for this day, they also specially found some rotten rotten vegetables and rotten eggs from the kitchen, ready to practice the technique.

Zhiwan also wanted to go, but he couldn't stand his body for seven months, especially when he heard the performance of Poria Cocos coming back, "My technique is accurate, a rotten egg was thrown over, and it exploded directly on the head of Xiangwang Shizi, and the eggshell was still stuck to it, Xiangwang Shizi shook his head several times before shaking it down, right?" ”

Zhuxiang spat at her and hit her, "It's not powerful at all, the Xiangwang Mansion does a lot of evil, especially the lackeys under his hands who oppress the people, everyone remembers it in their hearts, no, there are still people who throw hard-boiled eggs and almost don't stone the Xiangwang to death." ”

Zhiwan heard that her head hurt, and it hurt when the boiled egg was lightly knocked on her head, and she smashed it from afar, and the strength can be imagined, if she was the king, she knew that she couldn't escape a death in the end, and she could endure it without biting her tongue and committing suicide, and her heart was strong enough.

The father and son of the prime minister were escorted back to Beijing, and there were some things that could be done, so Zhiwan instructed Bai Shaodao, "Send the letter in the dresser to the palace to the emperor." ”

Bai Shao's face was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but say, "That letter should have been sent to the palace a long time ago, those people have done a lot of evil, so they shouldn't have been allowed to live for so long." ”

Zhiwan glanced at Bai Shao, took tea and sipped lightly, in fact, is there this letter, the emperor still doesn't know who framed it, don't forget that the grandma is still living in the courtyard of Grandpa Xu, since the grandma confessed to her, there will naturally be no conspiracy against Grandpa Xu, and it is extremely easy for the emperor to want a confession.

Allowing the Queen Mother and the Queen to live is just trying to torture them every day, what the Queen did to the harem concubines, so many concubines teamed up to deal with her, it would definitely make her overwhelmed and tired, but the sense of grievance they couldn't help could make the queen collapse her heart.

As for the queen mother, the son and grandson rebelled, that was a big crime of the nine clans, listening to the good news every day, it was using a knife to rip out her heart, but the emperor did not kill her, nor did he take away her title, this is filial piety, even if your own son is dissatisfied with me, and wants to kill me and then quickly, I have not been angry with you, who in the world does not praise the emperor for his benevolence and filial piety?

can not only torture people, but also gain a good reputation for himself, why doesn't the emperor do such a thing?

Now, the torture is almost over, and the border pass is almost about to have a truce, at this time, the viciousness of the queen mother and the queen is shaken out, and when the prince and Ye Guiyue come back, such news is more happy than more rewards.

When Emperor Wenyuan received the letter, he swept his eyes twice, his face did not change, and he directly handed the letter to Gonggong Xu, "It is incomparably that the queen and the queen mother will confess their guilt." ”

The interrogation methods of the harem are no worse than those of the prison of the Criminal Department, and the Empress Dowager is detained separately, so it is better to interrogate.

In Jinhua Palace, when Gonggong Xu entered, the queen didn't even paint makeup, her eyes were empty with a heavy dead air, and when she heard someone ask for peace, the queen turned her face sideways, stared at Gonggong Xu, and smiled miserably, "There are still people who remember that this palace is the queen!" ”

Gonggong Xu saluted, then got up and said with a smile, "The emperor did not cut off the title of the queen, you are naturally still the queen." ”

The queen sneered twice, "In the emperor's heart, there will always be only one queen in Ye Tianxin!" She really shouldn't have died so early, she died at the most beautiful time, the emperor hadn't seen her old pearl yellow appearance, the palace didn't believe it, if she hadn't died, the emperor's love for her would have been left until now! ”

Gonggong Xu was standing below, he didn't know how to answer the queen's words, there was no long-term lover in the palace, if the first queen hadn't died, would the emperor have always loved her, who knows?

Luster and lax, maybe, maybe not.

What is there to argue about this, the first queen has long been dead.

Gonggong Xu looked up at the queen and said with a smile, "Why did the first queen die that year, the queen knows better than anyone else, the light of the first queen, no one in the harem is unmatched, almost spoiled the harem, once the eldest son is born, he will be established as the prince in less than 100 days, this is the emperor's promise back then, the queen also knows that the first queen died that year, the emperor is not without responsibility, knowing that the harem is a battlefield, but his favor has made the first queen the target of the public, the first queen and the king of Lian were arrested, the emperor was grief-stricken, but over the years, Instead of forgetting the first queen, he always thought about it, the emperor is a long-term person, and the servants have served him for decades, and the emperor's favorite person in his life is only the first queen. ”

After Xu Gonggong finished speaking, the queen's eyes have burst out with hatred, for a woman who loves the emperor deeply, there is no sentence more cruel than the emperor has never loved you at all, Xu Gonggong said, "But after all, the queen has been a husband and wife with the emperor for more than ten years, and this friendship is not easy to erase, but unfortunately, the four princes are more and more ambitious as they get older, before the emperor and the four princes, the queen chooses the four princes, in fact, the queen loves the emperor the most." ”

It is right for the women in the harem to love the emperor, but what they love most is definitely power, they can sacrifice their lives for the sake of power, take risks, and drill the camp step by step, but who will sacrifice their lives for the emperor?

Gonggong Xu sighed and said, "These days, the emperor's suffering, the emperor knows, and also knows that the first queen was killed by you, I have not interrogated you, nor have I blamed you, the emperor has done his best to be benevolent and righteous, the father and son of the prime minister have confessed, and the queen mother has also confessed, does the queen still have to carry it?" ”

The queen did not suspect that the father and son of the prime minister were arrested, and the only fate was death, none of them could escape, the queen wanted to die, but when she thought of really dying, she was crazy again.

"Yes, Ye Tingxin was killed by me, and it was killed by this palace, because she deserves to die! She should have died a long time ago, I was originally the crown princess, it was she who stepped in and hooked the prince's heart away, I became a little side concubine, I endured it, the prince ascended the throne and became the emperor, she was the only one in my eyes, robbed me of the position of the crown princess, and robbed me of the queen's position, do you want to rob the favor that should belong to me? ! I tolerate it everywhere, it doesn't make sense for my son to put up with her! Even the king deserves to die, he obviously admires her, but he doesn't know how to fight for it, let the emperor take the lead, make me suffer, this palace is kind enough to fulfill him once, he should laugh Jiuquan! ”

The queen laughed unbridledly, laughing miserably, making people tremble, "How can she get the emperor's favor?!" Why did King Lian miss her?! This palace is worse than her, but her appearance is still not as good as her! The emperor said that she was kind, and kind people should not live in the harem! I really regret killing her, I should let the emperor see with his own eyes how kind people in his eyes are ruthless! (To be continued)
