Chapter 448: Back to the Light
"Niangniang, is it a blessing or a curse, it won't help if we go, if the mother and son are safe, the little eunuch who will deliver the meal tomorrow will definitely know, let's ask and we will understand everything?"
Gracefully sitting in her chair, thinking about everything that had happened in the past few months.
Everything seems to be predestined, knowing the ending, but it is still like a moth to a fire, without hesitation.
"Maybe it's time for an end between Wanrong and Wanyun."
"Miss, did the lady tell you something?"
Wan Ying shook her head and said, "Wan Rong didn't say anything, I could see it in her eyes." ”
"Concubine De has become more and more unpleasant in recent years."
"On the occasion of the Shangsi Festival, it was just a mistake to injure Fu Ning, and Fu Ning replaced Zhi'er and Cheng'er."
"Princess Funing is Concubine Shu's heart, if Concubine Shu wasn't afraid of hurting the child in her womb, maybe she would have done it a long time ago."
"Yes and no. I don't think Wanrong wants to be so ruthless, even if Wanyun killed her own daughter, she still can't end her own sister with her own hands. ”
"In the matter of Yuxi, Concubine Shu must have viciously poisoned Concubine De."
Wanying hid in the dilapidated hut, and only at this moment did she figure out why she was desperate to leave that place of right and wrong?
In addition to the entanglement with the emperor, there is probably another important reason, she does not want to face the slaughter between her sisters. Whether it is Wanrong or Wanyun, no matter who wins whom, she is unwilling to face it.
This night, wind and rain. Moisture gradually poured in from the rooftops, from the ground, from all directions.
Before dawn, Wanying quietly got up, moved the chair under the window, and listened to the sound of the rain, sometimes majestic like splashing, sometimes ticking like a dot.
The sky was dark, Yun Niang got up, took a cotton shirt and put it on Wanying's shoulder.
At three o'clock, a figure in an earthy yellow eunuch shirt came slowly with an umbrella.
The little eunuch put down the food box and said with a smile: "The lady concubine is happy." ”
"Who told you that?"
"The bell sound next to the lady lady came over on purpose and asked me to tell you."
The big stone hanging in Wanying's heart finally landed.
"How is the lady lady?"
The little eunuch said happily, "Yes, well! The emperor personally named the fifth son of the emperor as the king of the county, and also gave the name 'Tao'. ”
At this moment, the smile on Wanying's face broke the worry of the night. He murmured: "Hongtao, King Taojun, great! ”
The little eunuch packed up the food box and corrected: "The prince's name is Hongtao, but the emperor's title to the little prince is Fu, and the little prince is the king of Fujun."
"The word Tao is longevity and water, and the title of the little prince is blessing, blessing and longevity, good! Sure enough, it's great! ”
Wan Ying couldn't help but smile and said.
The little eunuch blessed himself and withdrew from the hut.
After worrying all night, I finally looked forward to the calm.
"Concubine Shuniang loves King Fujun so much, she must have gritted her teeth and broke through the ghost gate."
Wan Ying was silent, such a joy of happiness and longevity was naturally snatched back by Wan Rong from the hands of Lord Yama.
However, the three sisters gave birth to a total of four princes, only the third son of the emperor Hongyun is nameless, I don't know how Wanyun feels at this moment?
Time runs over the long street of Yongxiang day by day, and the birds follow the eight hundred miles of the north and the birds rush all the way from Yanmen Pass to Zichen Palace.
Youzhou victory, Yunzhou victory, Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, which have been entrenched by Nudan for decades, have returned to the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Under the repeated defeats of the female Dan royal court, they had to move north in a hurry.
The king of Dong'an County, the concubine of Dong'an, was used as a tribute to begging, and was presented to the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty by the female Dan Great Khan.
Huiyi, who had been favored for many years, watched his mother and younger brother being returned to Da Zhou as tribute.
Huiyi Yan couldn't stand this blow and humiliation, and in a fit of anger, he crashed into death in front of the female Dan Great Khan.
The female Dan Khan survived secretly, and she didn't care about burying the body of her beloved concubine, so she fled north in a hurry.
Concubine Dong'an, who was originally in good health, couldn't afford to fall ill after hearing that Huiyi died violently.
When the prisoner cart was transported to the capital, Concubine Dong'an was already dying.
Everyone, including Wanying, would think that the Queen Mother would kill these two lifelong enemies, but the Queen Mother did not.
To everyone's surprise, the Queen Mother took Concubine Dong'an out of the prison of the Criminal Department and placed her in the Ningshou Palace in the northwest. The king of Dong'an was secretly placed in a secret house on the outskirts of Beijing.
Concubine Dong'an has run out of oil and dried up, and she has exhausted her whole life, but she still returns to her original appearance.
On this day, the Queen Mother was chanting in Cining Palace, and Gonggong Wei suddenly walked in and said softly: "I'm afraid it won't work in Ningshou Palace, so call the Queen Mother over!" ”
The Queen Mother put down the Buddha beads in her hand, knelt on the futon, and kowtowed to the Buddha respectfully.
Gonggong Wei supported the Queen Mother and hobbled to Ningshou Palace.
It has been uninhabited for more than ten years, and the huge Ningshou Palace is full of the smell of rotting wood.
When the imperial physician saw the Queen Mother coming, he said softly: "I just drank a bowl of soup and medicine, and it is estimated that I will be able to wake up in a quarter of an hour. ”
After the imperial doctor finished speaking, he waved to everyone in the room, and the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital and the palace maid who served on the side all came out.
Father-in-law Wei moved a chair and slipped through the window into the dormitory at dusk through the chirping of birds.
Everything is exactly the same as a few decades ago, the Queen Mother looked at the thin and weak face in front of her, and the old tears in her eyes couldn't help but fall.
Once upon a time, Concubine Dong'an was also the concubine of the Sixth Palace, if she hadn't been robbed of her favor by her own sister, she would probably still be as harmless as she had just entered the palace.
It was she who moved to her own sister with her own hands, and she originally thought that she would take the lead, but she didn't expect Mrs. Baohua to profit from the fisherman and take advantage of the emperor's grace.
Scenes of the past, like a silent scroll of ink paintings, emerged in the mind of the Queen Mother.
The memory is so long ago that the Queen Mother can't remember clearly, when the rift began to appear between her and Concubine Dong'an.
The afterglow of dusk could no longer shine on Concubine Dong'an's face, and while the Queen Mother waited, Concubine Dong'an finally opened her dry eyes.
"You're here......"
Concubine Dong'an, who is returning to the light, seems to have forgotten her fight with the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother looked at the old enemy on the sickbed and said flatly: "The mourning family has come to see you." ”
There was no resentment or anger in this sentence, as if the open and secret struggle between the two of them had been left behind by the two of them.
"I still can't fight you after all, are you proud now?" Concubine Dong'an struggled to sit up.
The Queen Mother knew her intentions, even if she died, she would be on an equal footing with herself, so she also got up and put a cushion on the back of Concubine Dong'an.
"If I were you, I wouldn't be so coy."
In the face of the Queen Mother's personal efforts, Concubine Dong'an not only did not appreciate it, but also said such things.
The Queen Mother sat on the chair again, looked at Concubine Dong'an, and was silent.
"After all, I still follow your wishes, I will die in front of you, now you can breathe with peace of mind, right?"
Concubine Dong'an is like a patient recovering from a serious illness at the moment, gushing endlessly in the face of the Queen Mother.
"Your body won't last a few years, right?"
Two exhausted women know each other's physical conditions well.
"If it weren't for Huiyi, I would definitely stay behind you, but unfortunately, God always favors you and gives you everything."
"Do you know why the mourning family asked Imperial Doctor Liu to treat you?"
Concubine Dong'an's arrogant face suddenly climbed up with surprise and horror.
"You know everything?"
The Queen Mother didn't nod or shake her head, but just said lightly: "Twenty years ago, Imperial Doctor Liu was the little doctor you forced into the Tai Hospital. Why did the first emperor die violently? How many of you still have in the palace, and do you still plan to hide it? ”
Concubine Dong'an stared at the Queen Mother and asked, "Since you know that Imperial Doctor Liu is my confidant, why do you want to keep him until today?" ”
The Queen Mother said quietly: "The first emperor died violently, what you did was seamless, this is not something that can be done by yourself, who provided the poison, and who went into the first emperor's meal, these mourners don't know how to face the first emperor?" ”
Concubine Dong'an sneered and teased: "I'm afraid it's not that simple." You want to uproot us, that's why you don't stay. ”
The Queen Mother said indifferently: "Liu Su'er was originally a woman in the dust, and you also washed her past and stuffed it into the palace. ”
Concubine Dong'an retorted disdainfully: "It is difficult for the Liu family to become a big weapon, and if she dies, she will die." ”
"Your nest in the capital has been uprooted a year ago."
Concubine Dong'an said firmly: "Impossible, before I came back from Nudan, I also received a secret report from them. ”
"That's a trick for you from the mourning family, otherwise how could the Nudan royal court take it lightly and suffer defeat?"
"Du Lisheng, don't be complacent, we still have a secret weapon to turn the tables in our hands."
"You're talking about the biological mother of the fourth son?" The Queen Mother blurted out almost without thinking.
Concubine Dong'an's sharp eyes instantly looked like a punctured ball.
"You know everything, why do you want to keep her?"
"The mourning family keeps her, so naturally there is a reason to keep her."
"You've been walking on thin ice all your life, and you've been able to keep a poisonous snake by your side? Aren't you afraid that she will sit big in the future and eat you? ”
The Queen Mother's eyes were much more moved, and she asked: "She is backing up on the mourning family, why are you nervous?" ”
Concubine Dong'an thought that she hated the Queen Mother, but she didn't expect to die, but she found that she couldn't help but have no hatred for this woman, but gave birth to endless remorse.
The corners of Concubine Dong'an's eyes were drowned in tears, and the two of them fought openly and secretly for a lifetime, and in the end they lost convincingly.
"This woman should not be underestimated, you should be careful to raise tigers, and the tigers will hurt people when the time comes."
Concubine Dong'an sincerely admonished, and the Queen Mother understood.
"If the tiger hurts people, it is also a fate."
"What the hell are you thinking? I really don't understand. "Concubine Dong'an has been breathing a little.
The Queen Mother stared at Concubine Dong'an and asked tentatively: "Gonggong Zhang of the Northeast Institute, is it your comrade?" ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Concubine Dong'an's eyes.
There is no need to answer, the Queen Mother has already found the answer to her guess.
He was the only one who poisoned Emperor Wu Zhao's food back then.
"Now that you know everything, I won't hide it. I just ask you, how do you know? ”
The Queen Mother was stunned for a long time, not knowing how to answer this question.
