Chapter 159: The Concubine

Remember [Qianqian] in one second, and provide you with wonderful reading.

Hezhou, the army of the king of Chu marched.

"Your Highness, now that you have reached Hezhou, you are only one step away from the Beijing Division, and it is already easy for the soldiers to come to the Beijing Division." The staff bowed down and stood behind Qi Yunzuo and whispered to the man.

Qi Yunzuo bowed slightly, only picked up the wine glass without saying a word, and drank it all.

"Your Highness," Seeing Qi Yunzuo like this, the staff members were a little hesitant on their faces, and couldn't help but say; "The concubine is ....... now Still in the palace. ”

"The king knows." Qi Yunzuo put down the cup and spoke quietly; "Are you worried that the queen and Qi Yunyi will threaten the king with the concubine."

"Your Royal Highness, Concubine Niangniang, after all, is your biological mother." The staff lowered their eyes.

"Yes, she is the biological mother of this king." Qi Yunzuo's eyes were deep, but the corners of her lips revealed a sneer, "Since she was a child, she has wanted this king to be the first in everything, obedient in everything, and if she violates it slightly, she will be humiliated in every way." ”

Qi Yunzuo's voice was low and he continued; "She has never regarded me as a son, she has always regarded me as a bargaining chip in the struggle for power, she wants me to ascend the throne, so that she can become the queen mother herself."

"Your Highness?!" The staff was taken aback, Da Qi has always ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, how can this kind of thing be said?

"Your Royal Highness, Da Qi has been a country for a hundred years, and the most important filial piety is no matter how the noble concubine Niangniang treated His Royal Highness before, she ..... After all, she is the biological mother of Her Royal Highness, if Her Royal Highness doesn't take care of her this time, even if she wins the throne, I'm afraid that she won't be able to block the mouth of the world. ”

"What you said is right," Qi Yunzuo's eyes were bright, and there was a hint of ridicule, "The mother concubine often told the king that her lifelong wish was to make the king the emperor, and right now, the king was only one step away from the throne, and it was up to the mother concubine to do it." ”

"What does Your Highness mean?" The staff was shocked.

Qi Yunzuo didn't say anything, he just poured himself a glass of wine and raised his head.

Kyoshi, Fengzao Palace.

Concubine Zheng Guifei's face was withered, she was dressed in plain clothes, she sat there expressionlessly, and the huge palace room seemed very empty and extremely quiet.

"Niangniang, Fengzao Palace has been surrounded by all the queen's people, slaves and maids..... The slave and maid really can't send the letter. The palace maid rushed to Concubine Zheng's feet, with a panicked face, and said in a trembling voice.

When Concubine Zheng heard this, she didn't say anything, obviously she had already expected this result, her eyebrows were cold, and she only said; "Queen Wang, that slut, she wants to capture the palace, wait for Yun Zuo to hit the Jingshi, and use the palace to blackmail the son of the palace!"

"Mother, this ...... How can this be? The palace maid was flustered for a while, and couldn't help but say;" The prince's army is about to hit the capital division, and if the queen and the prince really escort the mother to the city tower and order the prince to retreat, then the prince will ..... What should the prince do? ”

Listening to the words of the palace maid, Concubine Zheng smiled coldly, but there was a flash of water in her eyes, "This palace has been looking forward to it for all these years, waiting for all these years, all I think is to let Yun Zuo board that dragon chair, and now I see that something big is about to happen, and this palace ...... How could Yun Zuo's great cause be destroyed in the hands of this palace? ”

"Mother, you ..... What do you want to do? The palace maid's voice stammered a little, and she looked at Concubine Zheng Guifei with horror.

Concubine Zheng didn't say anything, only took out a candied fruit from her arms, she looked at the candied fruit, which shimmered amber in the candlelight, she didn't hesitate, only put this candied fruit into her mouth and chewed it slowly.

Her face seemed to regain its brilliance in an instant, and she slowly rose from her chair, and finally glanced around her bedchamber, a sad smile tugging at the corner of her lips; "The lifelong wish of this palace is to live in the Fenghua Palace where the queen lives, if you can't live in it, the palace thinks that if you can live in the Shoukang Palace where the queen mother lives, it is also very good, but it seems that whether it is Fenghua Palace or Shoukang Palace, this palace can't live."

"Niangniang......." Listening to Concubine Zheng's words, the palace maid became a little uneasy.

"Bengong entered the palace at the age of sixteen, and for that dragon chair, Bengong has devoted his whole life to it, and since Yun Zuo was born, Bengong has been planning for him. At the moment, this palace will never allow Yun Zuo's success to fail, even if it is to ask for the life of this palace, this palace is willing to give it to him. ”

"Niangniang, what the hell are you talking about?" The palace maid didn't understand, she looked at Zheng Guifei in front of her suspiciously, and saw Zheng Guifei smiling at herself, looking at her smile, the palace maid's eyes instantly widened, she watched in astonishment as a trace of black blood snaked down the corner of Zheng Guifei's lips, her whole body was shaking, and she was just about to call someone, but she heard Zheng Guifei reprimand; "Don't shout!"

"Mother?" Seeing that Concubine Zheng Guifei's steps were unsteady, the palace maid hurriedly got up from the ground and supported Concubine Zheng's body, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"The candied fruit that Hongu ate just now was pickled with poison." Concubine Zheng smiled slightly, blood kept pouring out of her mouth and nose, the palace maid was thrilled to see it, and couldn't help crying, "Niangniang, why are you suffering?" Why are you doing that? ”

Zheng Guifei lost all her strength, and finally slipped and fell to the ground no longer able to support it, the palace maid couldn't support her, and only fell down with her, Zheng Guifei's eyes began to loosen, but her mouth was a smile of "Woo Er Woo Er", still holding on to her mouth; "This palace has left a blood book, and this palace wants everyone in the world to know, yes....... It's the queen who can't tolerate the palace, it's the queen...... colluding with the crown prince, they ..... They not only killed the emperor, but also ...... I also want to kill this palace, Yun Zuo of this palace must avenge my parents........"

Before the words were finished, Concubine Zheng Guifei spurted out a mouthful of blood again, and the palace maid trembled when she saw it, and only cried; "Niangniang, don't say it, the slave maid will call you the imperial doctor, and the slave will call the imperial doctor for you......."

"No," Concubine Zheng shook her head, "It's useless, the poison is a strange poison in the world....... No one....... No one can save Hongu ......."

"Hongu ended his life...... No one is ........ anymore Can you take this palace to blackmail Yun Zuo......." Zheng Guifei said this, smiled slightly, her eyes drifted far away, as if she was going to drift to Hezhou, but she glanced at her son, "Tell Yun Zuo...... The way forward...... I want him to go alone...... Let him...... Don't let down the ...... of the mother."

Spit out the last word, Zheng Guifei's eyes finally froze there, and she didn't move anymore.

The palace maid was startled, only trembling and stretched out her fingers to probe Zheng Guifei's snort, and after finding out that Zheng Guifei had died, the palace maid was frightened and immediately crawled backwards, Zheng Guifei's body lost her support and fell heavily to the ground, and the palace maid was white and yelled outside the palace; "The concubine has passed away, the concubine has passed away (the word 薨, different dynasties will have different identity regulations, this article is empty, the concubine died and chose the word 薨, please forgive me) ........"

Fenghua Palace.

A thunderclap sounded in the sky, and the queen awoke from her sleep, and she sat up from the bed, a fine layer of sweat on her forehead.

She gasped slightly, and was about to call someone, when she heard a sound of footsteps hurrying and said to her; "Queen Mother, something is wrong, Concubine Zheng Guifei..... Zheng Guifei she ......"

"What's wrong with her?" The queen frowned and asked sharply.

"Concubine Zheng...... Killed himself. ”

"What did you say?" The queen was shocked, "She committed suicide?" ”

"Yes, sis." As soon as the palace maid's voice fell, the queen collapsed on the bed as if she had lost her strength, and only muttered in disbelief; "How could it be, that woman who is greedy for life and afraid of death, how dare she kill herself?"

"Niangniang, the army of the king of Chu...... It's almost time to get to Beijing, and now that Concubine Zheng has passed away, let's ..... Where are we going to blackmail him? The palace maid said, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

The queen came to her senses, she got out of bed, and walked around the palace without even putting on shoes.

"Mother, it's cold on the ground, you better put on your shoes." Seeing this, the palace maid immediately knelt on the ground and handed the queen shoes.

"You go down and go to the Shen Mansion for the palace." The queen's eyes flashed brightly, and she commanded the palace maid.

The palace maid looked at the queen in puzzlement, "Shen Mansion? ”

"I went to the Shen Mansion and passed on the decree of the palace, asking Shen Zhaoying to enter the palace immediately." The queen's voice was low, and every word was very hard; "It's urgent, go right away."

"Yes, sissy." The palace maid did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the order to retreat.

The queen pondered for a moment, and then said to the door again; "Someone!"

"What do you command?" Someone rushed over.

"Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince right now?" The queen asked.

"Back to Niangniang's words, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the Longwu Army at this time, discussing with all the adults about the deployment of the Beijing Division."

"Let him enter the palace immediately, the palace has important matters to discuss with him!" The queen's voice was tense and she said.

"Yes, sissy."

After the visitor left, the queen seemed to have lost all her strength, and she sat down on the soft collapse, but her heart was pounding.

"Niangniang, over there in Fengzao Palace, look?" Suddenly, a voice sounded in her ears, the queen was shocked, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that it was Mama Lin, who had followed her for many years.

The queen put her heart at ease and only said; "Zheng Guifei's suicide, hold it down for the time being, don't reveal the news."

"Yes." As soon as Mama Lin was about to retreat, she heard the queen's voice sound again; "Wait."

Mama Lin stopped.

"After all, this matter cannot be hidden," said the Queen, whose countenance flashed with a hint of weariness; "Let's just say that Concubine Zheng is attached to the first emperor and is willing to follow the first emperor underground, her feelings are pitiful, her intentions are commendable, and the palace is ........ will tell the world her loyalty. ”
