Chapter 378: It's Time to Wake Up from a Dream
Because of the cold and quiet, this Fengyang Palace seemed lifeless.
The queen's personal maidservant Su Xin was really shivering with cold, looking at the charcoal basin but not daring to approach, she couldn't help it, and carefully persuaded the queen who had been sitting alone on the chair with her thin arms.
The queen sat like a sculpture, and she didn't move for a long time, Su Xin's words broke the silence, and then she slowly turned her head sideways, and her eyes fell on Su Xin.
"This palace is just going to be open, do you dare to have any objections? Even you, a, want to ride to the head of the palace to be the master of the palace?
The queen's originally slow and flat voice suddenly rose in the end, and she was so frightened that she knelt down.
"Slaves don't dare."
The queen snorted coldly, looked away, and looked into the darkness without focus.
"Since childhood, this palace has been extremely strict with his son, everything this palace does is for them, this palace is very good, but since ancient times, people have not done anything, and the heavens and the earth have been destroyed, do you understand?"
Su Xin didn't expect the queen to suddenly ask, so she nodded hurriedly, "The slave understands." ”
The queen snorted, "You know? If you knew, you wouldn't be a slave all the time. ”
It's not right to understand, and I'm afraid it's even more wrong to say that you don't understand. The queen's state was a little weird tonight, and Su Xin didn't dare to say anything casually, so she could only listen silently.
"Jing Yan has been gentle since he was a child, very sensible and obedient, but there is a distance between his heart and Bengong, and Bengong knows. On the contrary, Ziyin is different, although Bengong is much stricter to him than Jing Yan, but he listens to Bengong's words more, he is ambitious, very obedient, and very smart, he wrestles, he is bullied, he will call his mother for help, and find Bengong to help. Bengong has a bad ear now, and he doesn't open the window, if he can't hear it, can you afford it? ”
The list is really calling something outside the palace, they are in this Fengyang Palace, where can they hear it? What is the difference between opening a window and not opening a window?
But Su Xin didn't dare to talk back, so he could only respond.
"Yes, the slave knows that she is wrong."
The wind seemed to be getting stronger, and there was a whining sound inside and outside the house. It was as if there were countless weeping ghosts on a rampage, refusing to leave.
A piece of rice paper scraped from the table flew into the air, flew around in Fengyang Palace, and finally landed in the charcoal basin, and as soon as the paper touched the red-hot charcoal fire, it quickly ignited. Then the burning paper was scraped again, and if something else were ignited, it would be a catastrophe. Su Xin let out a "ah", quickly chased after him, grabbed it and threw it on the ground, and trampled it out with his feet.
"Su Xin, you go out to inquire and see if that rebellious minister and thief has frozen to death outside the city gate?"
Su Xin has been with the queen for so long, so she naturally knows who the queen is referring to as a rebellious minister and thief. But what is His Royal Highness King Jin? Countless battles have been won, and the catastrophe of the fire in the prison has also come, how can it be so easy to freeze to death?
She thought so in her heart, but she could only say yes. It's also good to walk around, and the whole body is really frozen.
Today is the coldest day of the winter, right? Su Xin thought like this, and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly heard footsteps outside Fengyang Palace.
Who would come to Fengyang Palace so late? If you are here to report the news, the footsteps will not be so slow, and listening to the footsteps, it is not like the footsteps of normal people, and the sound of a wooden stick falling to the ground should be......
Just thinking about it, the footsteps had already stepped into Fengyang Palace.
"Slaves and maids, see the five princes."
Although he knew that his master was not compatible with the five princes, he still couldn't live without due etiquette as a slave and maid.
"What are you going to do?"
The queen's tone was very bad, like a hedgehog suddenly erecting all the thorns around her body.
Although there is no palm lamp in Fengyang Palace, they can still see each other clearly through the dim light that comes in through the wide open doors and windows.
Shan Cong stood at the door with the moonlight on his back, although he was on a crutch, he was not charming and heroic at all. He didn't care about the queen's coldness, and smiled faintly.
"I'm wondering if the queen is packing up her things and preparing to move out of Fengyang Palace, I'm here to help."
The Queen's fingers clenched abruptly on the armrest of the chair, and a cold glint crossed her eyes.
"Move? Fengyang Palace is the place of the main palace, why should the main palace be moved? ”
Shan Cong listened, and let out a low chuckle.
"Oh, there's really no need to move, because you don't have anything left."
The queen snorted heavily, "This palace, this Dayan are all sons of this palace, you are a son of a cheap life, what qualifications do you have to talk to this palace here?" This palace wants the emperor to kick you out! ”
Shan Cong laughed again, "It's time to wake up from the dream!" If you want to sit in that position, you have to have that ability, don't climb up if you don't have the ability, the higher you climb, the harder you fall. ”
The queen suddenly stood up from her chair, stretched out her hand and pointed at Shan Cong, and roared.
"Get out of here."
The more angry she was, the bigger the smile on Satoshi Shan's face.
"It's not me who should get out, it's you and your uncompetitive son, you know in your heart that you should have gotten a long time ago, and struggling to this day is just to make you roll more ugly."
"Get out!"
The queen yelled at him, angry.
Shan Cong walked to the window on crutches, looked at the bright moon on the dark sky, and smiled slightly.
"Don't you want to know what's going on out there? I'm here to tell you kindly, the third brother has entered the city, and your son is so frightened that he doesn't know where to flee, it seems that he doesn't even want you as a mother. ”
He withdrew his gaze, turned his head, restrained his smile, and looked a little more serious.
"If it's not yours, it's not yours, and what you snatch won't last long, it must be the protection of your father in heaven, so that people with bad intentions can't succeed after all."
"Ah......" the queen suddenly screamed loudly, covering her ears with her hands.
"Get out of here, get out! Get lost! ”
Su Xin saw that the queen was in a state of madness at this time, and she was so frightened that she trembled, and she didn't dare to get close to the queen's body, so she could only stand not far away and whisper, "Niangniang, don't do this." ”
The queen raised her hand and waved everything off the table, and kicked over the brazier again, and the fiery red charcoal in it rolled everywhere, and a few pieces rolled all the way to Su Xin's feet, so frightened that Su Xin fell backwards again and again.
Shan Cong was satisfied with the queen's state at this time, with a cold smile, he turned around and walked out of Fengyang Palace.
And in Fengyang Palace, the sound of screams, roars, and smashing things is endless, and it is still harsh to hear in the palace in the dead of night.
Not far from Shan Cong's walk out of Fengyang Palace, a woman appeared in front of him. He walked on crutches, getting closer and closer to her.
"He's back!" Qing Li stared at him.
Shan Cong stopped and looked at her lightly, "Yes, he's back." ”
Qing Li suddenly grabbed his arm very excitedly, "Shan Cong, don't you want to be the emperor?" I'll help you. ”
Shan Cong gently broke away from her hand, "I don't want to be the emperor, I just want justice, when I know that justice has always been in my father's heart, I have nothing to pursue." ”
Qingli has always been calm, but she can't calm down at the moment, she suddenly pounced, hugged Shan Cong's neck and kissed him.
Shan Cong pushed her away with one hand and looked at her indifferently.
"You don't care about him all the time, why are you not satisfied if he wins?"
Shan Cong's over-calmness also made Qing Li gradually calm down, and she gently let go of the hand that grabbed Shan Cong.
"Yes, I care about him, but he can't be the emperor of Dayan."
She seemed to realize her gaffe just now, she didn't stay long, dropped the sentence and turned away.
In the night, her stiff back revealed a bit of stubbornness.
It has been several days since the death of the emperor, but the coffin has been placed in the mourning hall and has not been buried. Shan Liancheng returned to the palace that night and handed over the child to Concubine Hui, so he only did one thing, that is, knelt in the mourning hall and kept watch all night.
In the mourning hall, You Wanshan cried and conveyed the emperor's concern for him in the last days, including the last wishes expressed in the holy decree.
When the emperor died, there were many witnesses, and everyone knew the emperor's intentions, so when the king of Jin entered the city, Shan Ziyin's disappearance was seen by many people as absconding in fear of crime, so Shan Liancheng's succession seemed so logical.
In contrast, Shan Liancheng has been supported by more people as the emperor, and over the years, his ability and deeds have been in everyone's hearts, and the people's hearts have never been lost. Different people as emperors will decide that the people will live different lives, so after one night, the country changes hands, which is a clapping for the people of Dayan.
Yun Qixi did not follow back to the palace immediately, Zhang Qinxue's injuries were very serious, and she had to do her best to save her.
Shan Jingyan also stayed in the hospital and did not leave. He sat on a chair not far from the bed, and the scene of Zhang Qinxue being hit by an arrow but still holding the child and continuing to run always lingered in his mind.
At this time, Zhang Qinxue was already unconscious and lying on the bed, and in the dim light, her face was as pale as paper.
He never looked at her seriously, only knew that she was not bad-looking, and her personality was also very gentle, and she had paid a lot for him. At this time, I looked at her carefully, only to find that she was also thin and pitiful.
His gaze shifted from Zhang Qinxue's face to the busy back in front of the bed.
This night was an unquiet night, but Yun Qixi has been so calm in dealing with the wound, so calm that it seems that this matter is the only one.
At least, for now, curing Zhang Qinxue is the first thing she has to do.
Although Shan Liancheng entered the city overnight with his army, everything did not look very messy, and with Yun Chong's assistance, the streets quickly returned to tranquility.
But the tranquility didn't last long, and soon a person rushed into the medical hall in a hurry, and knelt down in front of Shan Jingyan.
"Four Princes, Four Princes......"
The person who came was a little eunuch, and he seemed to be running in a hurry, but it could be seen that Shan Jingyan couldn't speak in a half voice.
Yun Qixi also happened to take care of Zhang Qinxue's wounds, and turned around when he heard the voice.
"What's wrong?" Shan Jingyan looked at the little eunuch.
The little eunuch swallowed his saliva, looked at Yun Qixi, and then at Shan Jingyan, and suddenly looked sad.
"The fourth prince, the queen mother, she hanged herself."
