Chapter 664: Martyrdom (2)
The death of Emperor Jianwen seems to have taken away the last trace of softness on Empress Yu's body.
Today's Queen Yu is condensed and tough, and invincible.
The third prince's face was miserable, and a look of resentment flashed in his eyes: "Queen Mother, my son begs you like this." Why don't you answer? What do you want your son to do, so that the queen mother is willing to spare her mother's life? ”
Empress Yu's eyes were slightly cold, and her voice was even cooler: "No matter what you do, you can't change the fate of Concubine Shu." ”
Empress Yu's gaze swept over Concubine Shu, who was full of resentment, and said coldly: "Concubine Shu, you drank the poison bar yourself!" ”
Concubine Shu trembled and stretched out her hand, and in front of everyone's eyes, that hand trembled non-stop. When I picked up the wine glass, I accidentally spilled most of it.
Empress Yu was unmoved, and ordered lightly: "Come on, bring another glass of wine." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhilan had already come in with a new cup of poisonous wine.
"Zhilan, wait for Concubine Shu to drink the wine in the cup."
Zhilan responded, squatted down, handed the wine to Concubine Shu's mouth, pinched Concubine Shu's chin hard, and poured the poisonous wine into it.
Concubine Shu choked on the wine, and immediately, a stream of heat rushed into her throat. Then, there was a burning heat in the stomach, and the sharp pain spread instantly.
At the last moment of her life, Concubine Shu had no fear, and opened her mouth to shout: "Yu Lianniang! You're ruthless! You don't have to die well......"
Empress Yu sneered invisibly.
Who doesn't die well?
It's not good to die, and it's also the concubine who dies first!
For so many years, Concubine Shu has been acting respectfully and peacefully. Really think that she is a fool, and she didn't see through her ambition to "borrow power to get on top" and "cross the river and tear down the bridge"?
The queen's throne is hers! The position of the Queen Mother is also hers! This palace is soaked in her life's work. She wants to be firmly in control and in her hands, and no one will want to take it away.
The third prince had better recognize the reality and bow his head obediently.
Otherwise, she can hold him on the dragon chair, and she can also hold someone else and replace him!
……
In a few breaths, Concubine Shu died of poison and fell to the ground.
Black blood overflowed from his mouth, and it looked terrifying.
Concubine Shu didn't blink her eyes, her eyes were still open, as if she was looking at everyone. Li Xiangru only felt chills all over his body, and Yin Xiaoxiao, who was the most courageous, was also chilling in his heart.
Xie Mingxi glanced at Concubine Shu lightly, but didn't react.
There are many dead people, and among all kinds of miserable deaths, drinking poisoned wine is the quickest and most decent. It is also very favored by the palace concubines.
The third prince watched his mother die in front of his eyes, and the strings that had been tense in his mind suddenly broke, and let out a terrible hiss.
The third prince's eyes were dark, and he fainted.
Xiao Yuhan stepped forward eagerly and held the third prince: "Your Highness! Your Highness! ”
In all fairness, Xiao Yuhan doesn't have much affection for Concubine Shu. As a daughter-in-law, it is sad enough to have a shrewd mother-in-law, and one more kind-hearted mother-in-law will only add to sadness.
Emperor Jianwen ordered Concubine Shu to be martyred, apparently for Empress Yu. Xiao Yuhan was also happy to push the boat down the river and remove a mountain above his head.
It doesn't matter if Concubine Shu is dead, the third prince can't faint at this time. Today is the day of Emperor Jianwen's burial, and the prince must take the lead everywhere. The third prince will be stunned, and he will fall into the handle.
Empress Yu had already prepared, and raised her voice to call the envoy of Zhao Yuan to come in.
The original envoy of the Tai Hospital has died of old age, and the adverbial character of the Zhao envoy has also been removed, and he has become the main court envoy. Zhao Yuan made the golden needle use quite neatly, and after a few stitches, the three princes who were angry and anxious were sober.
"Your Highness!" Xiao Yuhan had tears in his eyes and choked up: "Your Highness, get up quickly, don't delay the burial of your father!" ”
Empress Yu's tone was much softer: "If the crown prince is not in good health, the second prince or the fourth prince will temporarily take charge today!" ”
The threat of implicit but not explicit is like a basin of cold water poured down.
Most of the hatred and anger in the hearts of the three princes were extinguished.
The third prince took one last look at Concubine Shu, took a deep breath, struggled to stand up, and arched his hand: "The son can hold on, but the queen is worried." ”
Empress Yu nodded slightly: "It's good to hold on." There is a palace for everything here, so you don't need to worry about it. You go to lead the courtiers and send your father to the imperial tomb for burial. ”
……
Concubine Shu died in front of everyone's eyes, and the beauty Lianxiang had no such treatment.
In fact, Lianxiang didn't even have the qualifications to kneel down. Since the death of Emperor Jianwen, Lianxiang has been imprisoned in the palace prison. On the day of Emperor Jianwen's burial, he was killed by a white silk.
Died silently.
The martyred concubine and Lianxiang were packed into the prepared coffin and transported to the imperial tomb for burial along with the coffin of Emperor Jianwen.
The imperial tomb is quite far away, and it takes about seven days to carry the coffin all the way to the burial and then turn back.
All the princes went to the imperial tomb together, and the princes and concubines did not need to go, and they all stayed in the palace.
Empress Yu stayed up for many days and fell ill a little. Princess Changping and several princesses took turns to serve the sick. Empress Dowager Li in Cining Palace was also sick for many days, but no one cared.
Empress Yu drank the decoction for a few days and got better. When he was able to stay and move around, he went to Cining Palace to visit the Empress Dowager Li.
Princess Changping and all the princesses accompanied the visit.
As soon as I stepped into the dormitory, a faint fishy smell greeted me.
Xie Mingxi subconsciously frowned, and immediately returned to normal.
No matter how clean people are, after experiencing more than a month of kneeling spirits who can't bathe or change clothes, they will become much more easy-going......
Empress Dowager Li fainted this time, and after waking up, her whole body could no longer move, and her mouth could not speak. No one could hear what was out of her mouth except for the screaming.
Empress Yu's eyes were full of concern and apology, and she leaned over slightly: "The first emperor died suddenly, and the daughter-in-law was busy arranging the funeral for the first emperor and failed to visit the queen mother. Don't blame the queen mother! ”
As soon as Empress Yu's face came into view, Empress Dowager Li became excited and struggled as if she wanted to get up. An old face turned red, and he shouted a few times.
Listening vaguely, it seemed to be insulting Queen Yu for "having a heart like a poisonous scorpion" and the like.
Empress Yu sat down on the chair next to the bed, admiring the appearance of Empress Dowager Li who couldn't move or speak at this time. He deliberately sighed in his mouth: "When the first emperor passed away, the queen mother must be sad in her heart. ”
"It's just that people can't be resurrected from the dead. The daughter-in-law only hopes that the queen mother can recover as soon as possible, so that the first emperor will not worry about the queen mother under Jiuquan. ”
This is cursing her for an early death!
Empress Dowager Li's eyes were almost bulging out of her sockets, and she continued to curse indistinctly.
You poisonous woman!
If you hadn't been tempted by a woman, how could my son have died so early?
The poisonous woman who killed a thousand knives didn't even let me see my son for the last time.
Sooner or later, a thunderbolt will kill you!
The princesses exchanged a look, but they didn't hear anything. Each stepped forward and said a few words of greeting.
When it was Xie Mingxi's turn to step forward, Empress Dowager Li finally gathered some strength, and spit out a clear word in her mouth: "Get out!" ”
