The emperor looked at the queen mother incredulously, and said in astonishment: "Mother, I'm afraid you are too worried, the master family has been completely defeated now, and the imperial concubine doesn't seem to have the ambition of power." ”

The Queen Mother lazily closed her eyes and said casually: "You are a married couple, and your mother is a dying person, and the emperor can't see through many things, but your mother can see through it." ”

"Mother, are you afraid that your son will love Wanying too much, so that the relatives of the Shi family will be dominant?"

The Queen Mother suddenly opened her eyes and said faintly: "People are about to die, and their words are also good." Mother has a hunch that the imperial concubine will inevitably be a chicken Si Chen. My mother feels sorry for my son, and she will be helpless in the future. ”

"There is only one Shi Shaosong left in the Shi family now, and my son sees that Shi Shaosong is not an ambitious person."

The Queen Mother saw that the emperor favored Wanying so much, and her heart was extremely depressed, and she patiently explained: "Son, my mother has only understood in the past two years, and almost half of the important ministers in the court are from the imperial concubine's side. ”

"Mother, what do you mean by 'over there'?"

"They're not a party, they're not even related, but when you think about it, it sends chills down your back."

"Wanying? She? Mother, she won't. ”

"Emperor, think about it, how many soldiers and horses does You'an are in charge of the imperial court now? He will not be unclear about the emperor and concubine, as well as Fang Songding and Zhang Jingting,...... The three major battalions of Gongwei Gyeonggi are all old people from the old division family, and these people have almost mastered the soldiers and horses of the world, hasn't the emperor thought deeply? ”

The emperor's foundation was initially decided, and he obviously did not think deeply about the relationship behind the prosperous era.

"Shi Shaosong seems to have nothing to do in the capital in recent years, but in fact, he has made a lot of literati and Qing guests, many of whom are talented in governing the world."

The emperor was stunned and asked, "Mother even knows this?" ”

"The prefect of Yangzhou decreed that every year on three days and two birthdays will give private gifts to the imperial concubine, and these emperors never ask?"

"Mother, the prefect of Yangzhou is an official of the imperial court, and it is also appropriate for Wanying and Hongzhi to send some gifts on their birthdays."

"The decree of the prefect of Yangzhou is the daughter of the governor of Caoyun......"

The emperor looked at the Queen Mother uncertainly, and immediately understood the voice of the Queen Mother's words.

"Mother......

"The emperor has affection for the imperial concubine, so he didn't install eyeliner in the teacher's house, and my mother did it for you."

"Wanying doesn't seem to have such a heart, right?"

Profit makes wisdom faint, and love also makes wisdom faint. The Queen Mother smiled and shook her head, "In recent years, the imperial concubine has won the hearts of many people without much effort, especially He Youan, who quelled the rebellion in the south three years ago, and now has won the Northern Expedition, and the future ...... I'm just afraid ......"

"Mother, there is innocence between You'an and Wanying, isn't this what your old man told his son personally!"

"My son, my mother is afraid that my son will be hollowed out by them in the future."

This is the queen mother's words in the bottom of her heart, if it weren't for the imminent death, the queen mother probably wouldn't want to tell the emperor.

The emperor was a little hesitant, he looked at the queen mother in confusion, he understood that the queen mother was a beloved son, so he planned for the emperor early.

"Mother's hard work, the son understands, and the son will listen to the mother's teachings."

The Queen Mother looked at the emperor with a smile, and said lightly: "Mother is only afraid that you will be able to say it, but you can't do it." ”

The emperor really didn't want the queen mother to worry, so he just talked about it.

"Emperor, after the death of the mother, the queen's throne will not last long, if the queen herself asks to abolish the queen, the emperor can only agree to her."

"And then?"

"The crown prince's biological mother is the imperial concubine, which is inappropriate and reasonable, so the imperial concubine will be canonized as the queen and the order in the palace will be followed."

The emperor keenly captured the Queen Mother's contradictory words, with the wisdom of the Queen Mother, she would never make such a low-level mistake, and the only reason that can explain this inconsistency is that the Queen Mother will inevitably have some arrangements for Wanying in the future.

"My mother didn't let her son reuse the Shi family just now, and in a blink of an eye, she let her son Jin Feng Wanying be the queen, and after that, she said that her son was confused."

The Queen Mother smiled shrewdly and teased lovingly: "The emperor is not confused, he is deliberately pretending to be confused." ”

The emperor smiled embarrassedly and did not answer the queen mother's ridicule.

"My mother wants you to promise my mother one thing."

The emperor couldn't hide from what he should have come, and the emperor's guess was confirmed.

"Mother, as long as my son can do it, he will definitely not live up to it."

"Kill the mother and keep the child!"

Even though the emperor guessed the knot in the queen mother's heart, he was still stunned.

"Since the founding of the country, I have imitated the Han system, killing mothers and leaving children. The emperor's primary treasure, not that the mourning family is reluctant to die, but the mourning family is afraid that the emperor's foundation is unstable, so they have survived against the ancestral system to this day. ”

The emperor obviously couldn't do it, and killed his dear woman with his own hands. So he looked at the Queen Mother blankly.

"Mother, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed Mrs. Gouyi, without the constraints of Mrs. Gouyi's mother's family, the court situation was still controlled by Huo Guang. What's the difference? ”

The Queen Mother couldn't answer the emperor's question for a while. However, in order to avenge Aunt Lin, Wanying killed more than 100 people with her hot hands, and then pretended to be sick afterwards to deceive the emperor's distress, which did not hide from the queen mother's eyes.

Subsequently, he secretly planted eyeliner in Dongzhao Palace and Yingchun Palace, and even secretly visited various forces outside the palace...... The Queen Mother is all blind to one eye.

Later, Wanying deliberately pretended to get drunk to stimulate the emperor, and was also arranged by the queen mother to tell the truth to the little palace maid in the fairy palace.

How could the Queen Mother look at her beloved son being played with by a woman like this?

Until a month ago, Wanying ignored the situation of the emperor and the queen mother, and directly deposed the position of Concubine Zhen, such a wave of domineering and resentful operations directly broke the defense line in the queen mother's heart.

Wanying seems to be weak, but in fact, her heart is a hundred times stronger than the emperor's. The emperor was the dignified Ninety-Five, and was captured by Wanying, and there was no possibility of winning.

The emperor is in it, and he can't see the powerful relationship in it.

The Queen Mother stayed out of the matter, and everything was seen clearly.

Instead of persuading the emperor to beware of Wanying, it is better to hit the nail on the head and say the answer directly.

"Mother, is there no other way?"

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and said tiredly: "Unless the East Palace changes hands, you and the imperial concubine will not be able to escape this catastrophe sooner or later." ”

"Mother, didn't you say that Zhi'er is the unchanging crown prince of the Great Zhou?"

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and said, "Then you can only kill his mother." A ruthless and very deep woman happens to be my son's weakness, and my mother can't close her eyes when she thinks of this. ”

The emperor obviously resisted what the Queen Mother said and remained silent.

The queen mother waited for a long time, couldn't wait for the emperor's answer, suddenly opened her eyes, stared at the emperor and said: "Mother knows that the emperor is embarrassed, so mother helps you think of a way out. ”

The emperor wanted to ask the queen mother the inside story, the queen mother waved her hand, closed her eyes and said: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, a thousand taels of gold are easy to obtain, and it is difficult to find a confidant. ”

The emperor didn't know when his cheeks were warm, and looking at the weak queen mother, the emperor couldn't help but lie down beside the queen mother and cry.

The queen mother stroked the crown of the emperor's hair, and also wept and said: "If Xian'er is still there, my mother would rather you be a rich prince for the rest of your life." ”

After the Queen Mother said this, two clear tears flowed from her thin cheeks.

The figure that disappeared for four years has always lingered in the mind of the Queen Mother.

People often say: "There is no greater wealth than the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven also has the difficulties of the Son of Heaven." "Everyone sharpens their heads and wants to compete for the great treasure of the Son of Heaven, but none of the people who sit on the throne are not sitting on pins and needles and walking on thin ice.

On the auspicious day of the lunar month, after Concubine Zhen was promoted to the throne of the concubine, she was once again awarded the title of a virtuous concubine, and the emperor announced to the world at the same time, she understood the concubine's homesickness, and she was allowed to return home during the Dragon Boat Festival in the coming year.

When Prince Yi's Mansion received this news, it held a banquet for three consecutive days. I can't wait to tell the capital that the owner is noble, and their Prince Yi's mansion is still the head of the illustrious nobles.

It is exactly what the Queen Mother expected. The day after receiving the above metaphor, Prince Yi swept away his illness and measured the land around the palace with great fanfare.

Prince Yi's calculation was fine: instead of spending a lot of money on a villa in the suburbs, it was better to build it next to the palace. In this way, it is not only decent, but the regulations of the palace are much larger than now.

If you come and go, you will inevitably encroach on the land of the three families next to you. Prince Yi is in the limelight, and the relatives dare not speak out. I can only nod and agree, willing to cut the land and let Prince Yi build a provincial villa.

Time unconsciously came to the end of the year, and the queen mother vomited blood since that day, and her body bones were not as good as day by day. finally got to the end of the year, and a heavy snowfall did not stop for several days. Outside the house, it was icy and snowy, thousands of miles of ice, and thousands of miles of snow drifting. In the Cining Palace, the imperial doctors were like ants on a hot pot, sweating profusely and couldn't leave.

Zhou Yukou and the queen's decoction have never been wasted for a day.

When the Queen Mother was sober from time to time, she always held the hands of the two of them and muttered inexplicably: "Take good care of the emperor in the future, listen to the emperor, and don't make the emperor angry." ”

It is all a mother's heart, and the queen and Zhou Yukou burst into tears, and they all nodded and agreed.

The pace of time, stepping heavily on the New Year's bell, the Queen Mother was full of gorgeous hair and dizzy. The doctors used thousand-year-old ginseng every day, and the soup was used for the life of the Tai.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor took the relatives of the Manchu Dynasty to kowtow to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was unconscious, but she seemed to understand everything in her heart. Forcing his eyes to hesitate, he said, "God...... It's cold, let's all go back. ”

Wanying cried like a tearful person, since the Queen Mother was seriously ill, Wanying often came to visit, but every time it was unfortunate, she caught up with the Queen Mother to fall asleep. Father-in-law Wei always opened the curtain to let Wanying take a look. Then he said apologetically: "The Queen Mother is short of spirit now, and after she wakes up, our family will tell the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine to come to visit." ”

Every time Wanying visited, she cried for a long time, seeing that the Queen Mother was not as good as day by day, Wanying's heart was like a knife, and she couldn't do anything.

Parents are here, and there is still a place to come in life. My parents are gone, and I only have to return to my life.

Wanying did not face the death of Master Shi and Aunt Lin, so in the face of the Queen Mother's dying day by day, she suddenly felt that in addition to life and death, everything else in life was insignificant.

Wan Ying didn't realize that among the group of concubines, there was another person who cried more than everyone else, and that person was Wu Bilian.
