Chapter 663: Martyrdom (1)
The mourning hall was set up for 7749 days, and all the people knelt for 49 days. All of them are boiled up, with yellow muscles and thin muscles, and they are embarrassed.
Finally survived until the day of Emperor Jianwen's burial, the sorrow in everyone's hearts had already dispersed, and they had to forcibly squeeze out a sad and painful look on their faces.
The third prince was even more haggard, and he had not closed his eyes for several nights, his gentle and handsome face was full of darkness, and his eyes were bloodshot. At first glance, it's a little scary.
Why the third prince is so haggard and gloomy, the reason is very clear.
On this day, the concubine will be buried together!
How can the three princes bear this kind of heart-piercing pain?
At this time, the three princes couldn't wait for everyone to forget Emperor Jianwen's will.
He will be the new emperor of Great Qi, perhaps, a few pavilion elders do not want to provoke him head-on. "Forget" this matter lightly, and it is unknown whether Concubine Shu's life will be left......
The dream of the three princes was soon shattered by the ruthless reality.
The first assistant of the Great Qi Lu Ge Lao and the second assistant Li Ge Lao stepped forward together and arched their hands and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, today is the day of the burial of the first emperor. It's time to invite Concubine Niangniang and Lianxiang Beauty to go underground to serve the first emperor. ”
Those who are qualified to kneel in the mourning hall are all important ministers of the court. At this time, they stood silently one by one, and no one opened their mouths to say that they wanted to save Concubine Shu's life.
The third prince's heart was cold, and his body shook.
Fortunately, Sheng Hong stood beside the three princes and helped the three princes in time, so as to prevent the three princes from falling down in public.
The third prince was not completely dead, and his eyes swept around everyone's faces. It first fell on the face of Yu Zhangyuan of Hanlin Academy.
Yu Zhangyuan is nearly sixty years old this year, and his hair and beard are all white, but he has his own elegant bearing. As the father of Empress Yu, Yu Zhangyuan is not public, and he is quite low-key on weekdays.
Concubine Shu is also the daughter of the Yu family, and she is the niece of Yu Zhangyuan's relatives. At such times, if Yu Zhangyuan is willing to open his mouth to plead, Queen Yu may open the net and save Concubine Shu's life.
"Yu Zhangyuan," the third prince's voice trembled, with a little hope: "Concubine Shu has been in the palace for several years, and she has been serving her father in peace, and she has no merit and hard ......work."
Yu Zhangyuan frowned, and sighed helplessly: "Your Highness's meaning, the old ministers all understand. It's just that this is the will of the first emperor, who dares to disobey it? ”
Even the third prince himself would never dare to fall into a reputation of disobedience and unfilial piety!
In this battle for the prince, the Yu family is already the biggest winner. At this time, you are willing to wade into this troubled water!
The third prince's heart sank straight down, and he looked at his father-in-law Xiao Shangshu again.
Xiao Shangshu couldn't open his mouth if he didn't want to: "The first emperor still thought about the concubine Niangniang before he died, which shows the first emperor's love for Niangniang." Today, Niangniang had the honor of being buried and went underground to serve the emperor. His Royal Highness should be happy for his mother. ”
For the Xiao family, as long as Xiao Yuhan can sit on the phoenix chair safely!
It doesn't matter whether Concubine Shu is dead or alive.
The three princes had bloodless faces and put their last hope on King Linjiang.
The palace of Huainan collapsed, and the king of Huainan was lying on the bed like a living dead. King Linjiang became the head of the royal family. When fighting for the crown prince, King Linjiang has also spared no effort to support the three princes.
King Linjiang knelt on the forty-ninth day, and was tossed to lose a large circle of fat, the skin and flesh on his face were relaxed, and his speech was as direct as in the past: "Your Highness, this is the will of the first emperor." We don't have the guts to resist. His Royal Highness begged the queen mother, maybe there was a glimmer of hope. ”
The third prince gritted his teeth, turned his head to Sheng Hong and said, "Seventh brother, you accompany me to see the queen mother." ”
The second prince didn't like to talk, and the fourth prince and the fifth prince couldn't wait to see his liveliness. When it comes to the critical time, only Sheng Hong is reliable and reliable.
Sheng Hong nodded slightly.
He did not pour cold water on the third prince. The matter is obvious, the death of Concubine Shu is a foregone conclusion. The third prince went to beg Empress Yu, but to no avail.
The third prince insisted on going, and he accompanied him to go.
Didn't Xie Mingxi say it? The fiercer the fight between Queen Yu's mother and daughter and the three princes, the better it will be for them!
……
At this time, Concubine Shu knelt in the mourning hall in a white dress, and her thin cheeks could no longer find traces of the beauty of the past.
In front of her, there was a wooden plate, and only a glass of wine was placed on the plate. In this glass of wine, there is the best Heding Red, which is poisoned and killed when it enters the throat.
Concubine Shu stared at the poisonous wine in front of her, and complex emotions such as pain, remorse, and resentment flashed in her eyes.
She is not reconciled!
Unwilling!
From the day she gave birth to the third prince, she knew that her son would become the prince of Great Qi and ascend the throne as the emperor. She, the biological mother, will also replace Queen Yu and become the most noble woman in the world, ruling the six palaces......
She only guessed the first half.
Her son is indeed going to be the emperor of Great Qi. But she wanted to drink the poisonous wine and return to Huangquan.
She's really unwilling!
Queen Yu, who is a vegetarian, is also much thinner than in the past. Princess Changping supported Queen Yu, and Zhao Changqing held Queen Yu's other arm.
Xiao Yuhan stepped back slightly, standing side by side with Yin Xiaoxiao and Xie Mingxi. Li Xiangru was invisibly squeezed out of this small group and stood farther away.
"Concubine Niangniang," Princess Changping said coldly, "it's time to go on the road." ”
Concubine Shu bit her lip hard, and a flame of resentment shot out of her eyes. With a mouth, his voice was hoarse and ugly: "I want to see my son!" ”
What if you see it? The useless third prince, would he dare to disobey Emperor Jianwen's will?
A sarcastic sneer flashed in Princess Changping's eyes, and she was about to open her mouth when the figure of the third prince appeared at the door.
"Mother!"
The third prince was heartbroken, and shouted out unwillingly. Then, he quickly walked into the mourning hall, knelt down in front of Queen Yu, and kowtowed three times: "Ask for the mother, spare the life of the mother." In the future, the sons will definitely be filial to their mothers, and only the mother's orders will be obeyed. ”
Knock knock!
After three muffled sounds, the third prince did not stop and continued to kowtow: "The son has begged his mother." ”
The tears that Concubine Shu held back finally poured out.
Sheng Hong also quickly entered the mourning hall, and after that, the second prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince also walked in one after another. The third prince was reluctant to let his brothers come to see his excitement, but everyone didn't want to miss this scene.
Xie Mingxi and Sheng Hong glanced at each other from afar.
Xie Mingxi raised his eyebrows and asked, and Sheng Hong shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly.
The husband and wife eyebrows~ flirted once, and then looked at the three princes who were kneeling and kowtowing together.
To be honest, the prince is indeed miserable enough to do this.
What's worse is that Queen Yu was not half moved. looked at the three princes who kowtowed to forgiveness so lightly, until the third prince's forehead was red and swollen, and then he opened his mouth and said, "Don't kowtow." ”
"Today, you can't afford to kneel here, and this palace can't promise you."
"The matter of martyrdom is the will of your father. The main shrine cannot be changed. Otherwise, a hundred years later, what kind of face will this palace have to go underground to see your father? ”<
