Chapter 240: Violent death

Emperor Jing Xuan gritted his teeth, "No, Erchen has waited for so long, Erchen will not give up, the queen mother should dispel this idea."

The Queen Mother let go of his hand and said lightly: "It's too late, the mourning family's edict has already gone down, and they have also ordered to go to the Ministry of Rites and let them prepare everything." It won't be long before the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will know about this emperor, if you still have a mourning family in your eyes, if it is really for Ruolan's good, then make up a holy decree that has been given."

The Empress Dowager's decree has gone down, and it is already a fact that Jiang Ruolan has become the Empress Dowager's righteous 'daughter', if Emperor Jing Xuan wants to obstruct it again, it will be to openly oppose the Empress Dowager Emperor Jing Xuan and the Empress Dowager have always had a harmonious relationship, and he can't do this kind of thing that blatantly violates the will of the Empress Dowager

It's just that how can he be willing? One step away, one step away......

Emperor Jing Xuan clenched his fists and was resentful. He stood up and looked at the Queen Mother for a long time, his chest rising and falling violently. The Queen Mother looked straight ahead, and her face remained unchanged at all. Emperor Jing Xuan turned around and left angrily

After Emperor Jingxuan left, Aunt Ye walked in and asked the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, did the emperor promise to make Miss Ruolan a princess?" "If the emperor refuses to give the decree, Ruolan's situation will be very embarrassing.

The Queen Mother said: "Yes, he will do this, my child I understand, no matter how angry he is, he will not put the mourning family in an embarrassing place." Speaking of this, she lowered her head and looked gloomy, "He must hate the mourning family very much, but how could the mourning family want to 'force' him so much, if he hadn't done too much, the mourning family would not have done things so decisively."

Aunt Ye walked up to the Queen Mother and comforted her softly, "Queen Mother, don't be sad, the emperor will figure it out one day." ”

"I hope so."

Emperor Jingxuan rushed out of Cining Palace, and Huang Gui followed behind.

"Your Majesty, the slave has placed Concubine Li in accordance with the emperor's will"

Hearing the word "Concubine Li", Emperor Jing Xuan suddenly retracted his feet, and Huang Gui, who was following behind him, almost hit him on the back.

Emperor Jing Xuan clenched his fists, the green tendons on his hands appeared, and the words "Concubine Li......" seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, and his voice was ruthless, making Huang Gui behind him shudder

"Go to Zhongcui Palace" Emperor Jingxuan angrily walked towards Zhongcui Palace

Zhong Cui Palace, Concubine Li has shrunk in the corner of the 'bed' and shivered since she was escorted back to the palace.

What will the emperor do to himself? Why did the queen say that?

She is now Concubine Li, she has a son and a 'daughter', the emperor will not do anything to herself, even if it is for the sake of the child, he will not hurt himself

Although she has been comforting herself like this, a chill from the bottom of her heart makes the blood in her whole body seem to freeze, and it is cold to the bone.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a notice from outside: "The emperor has arrived"

Concubine Li's face turned white, and then she jumped off the bed, but saw Emperor Jing Xuan rushing in with a cold face, Jiang Huanting's feet were weak, and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, no matter what happens to the concubine, the concubine doesn't say anything, it's the queen who hears the emperor's voice and insists on going in, no matter what happens to the concubine, the emperor knows it, the emperor knows it"

Emperor Jing Xuan walked to her side and stopped, looking at her condescendingly, his eyes were like knives, and his voice was like ice, "Jiang Huanting, do you remember what I told you when you entered the palace?" ”

Jiang Huanting's body trembled even more, and tears poured out wildly, "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life...... she kept kowtowing, knocking her voice.

Emperor Jing Xuan was unmoved, and continued: "I said that as long as you are obedient, you will always be my concubine, and you will never be missing a point if you belong to you."

"The emperor spares his life, and the emperor spares his life...... The concubine has never done anything......"

Emperor Jing Xuan snorted coldly, and his voice was even more 'gloomy', "I also said, don't do anything in vain, otherwise, I will be the first to take your life The moment you and the queen appear in front of me, you should know what kind of fate awaits you."

Jiang Huanting raised her head in fright, hugged Emperor Jing Xuan's 'legs', and cried and begged: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is wrong, the concubine didn't mean it, Your Majesty, the concubine has been with you for five years, and the husband and wife have been with you for a hundred days, even if it is for the sake of the two children, will you spare the concubine this time?" Your Majesty, the concubines will never dare to do it again."

Emperor Jing Xuan lowered his head, stretched out his hand to clasp her chin, and stared at her fiercely, his eyes were full of resentment and murderousness, so frightened that Jiang Huanting even forgot to cry for a while

"Jiang Huanting, do you know what you have lost? If it weren't for you, how could things have 'gotten' to such a point, now I can't wait to break your body into pieces, and I can leave you a whole corpse, for the sake of the two children, you can rest assured, after you die, I will 'hand' the two children to the queen, and in a few years, the children will not remember that you can rest in peace with a mother like you."

If the queen hadn't known about this earlier, he wouldn't have made this decision in a hurry, and he wouldn't have 'forced' the queen mother to be so resolute, how could things turn around now?

The more Emperor Jing Xuan thought about it, the more hatred he felt in his heart, he shook her hard, turned around and left resolutely, Jiang Huanting lay on the ground and cried bitterly, but Emperor Jing Xuan didn't look back at her again. After a while, Huang Gui came in with two eunuchs, one of whom had a pot of wine in his hand.

Jiang Huanting's face turned white, she looked at the poisonous wine with wide eyes and horror, and retreated again and again, "No, no......"

Huang Gui stepped forward and said lightly: "Concubine Li, this is the best wine, and you can go without pain...... Did Concubine Li do it herself? Or do you want the minions to help you? ”

Early the next morning, Jiang Ruonan received the Empress Dowager's decree.

Jiang Ruonan saw Yi Zhi and was pleasantly surprised, if he became the queen mother's righteous 'daughter', he and the emperor were brother and sister, there were not a few emperors who robbed their wives in history, and there were many British lords, but the emperors who dared to ** were basically faint monarchs, a little more normal, and would never do this kind of thing that made the world spurn and despised

And since Emperor Jing Xuan didn't openly rob his courtier's wife at the beginning, he wouldn't do anything like that now

Jiang Ruonan immediately entered the palace to thank him.

In Cining Palace, Jiang Ruonan kowtowed three times to the Queen Mother, she knew that the Queen Mother's move was to 'force' the emperor to comply, and she must have felt very uncomfortable

"Queen Mother, Ruolan doesn't know how to 'provoke' the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's great kindness, Ruolan is afraid that she will not be able to repay it in a few lifetimes."

The Queen Mother asked her to get up and sat down beside her.

"This was originally owed to you by the mourning family, if the mourning family had not been 'selfish' and wanted you to marry the emperor, but accepted you as a righteous 'daughter' from the beginning, maybe nothing would have happened."

"Queen Mother, how can I blame you? No one expected things to come to this point......"

The Queen Mother sighed, "I sometimes think, maybe this is my retribution, at the beginning, I controlled the fate of your parents for my own 'selfishness', so that they died depressed, and now, all the bitterness and resentment in the emperor's heart are my sins." ”

"Queen Mother, I believe my father and mother must not have blamed you......"

The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Ruonan and smiled with satisfaction, she held her hand: "Fortunately, things have not developed to the point of no return, from now on, you can stay in the imperial city with peace of mind, my son I understand, no matter how unwilling he is, he will not dare to do too much Wait for a while, he may figure it out......"

At this time, Aunt Ye walked in and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, Concubine Li died of a sudden illness last night. ”

The Queen Mother smiled faintly and said: "The feng shui in the palace must be bad, and there are few dynasties who have died of sudden illness." ”

Jiang Ruonan remembered yesterday's incident, and naturally knew the cause of Jiang Huanting's death, and she sighed softly.

There are sons and daughters, noble status, infinite glory, but life and death are only a matter of a moment.

This is the harem.

Before leaving Cining Palace, the Queen Mother told her that when the Ministry of Rites chose a good day, she would feast all the 'women' in the city in the palace and tell the world about it. When the emperor's decree is issued, an official ceremony will be held.

Jiang Ruonan was completely relieved.

Back at the inn, after having lunch with the children, and resting for a while, the Hou Mansion sent a carriage over.

The person who came to pick them up was none other than Jin Shaokang.

Jiang Ruonan is a little strange, he should be in the government at this time. I wanted to ask but felt that it was inappropriate, so I couldn't help but say nothing, but Jin Shaokang seemed to see her question, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the children will recognize their lives, I think they may be more comfortable when I'm present, so I came over." ”

He looked at her and said, "Today's face is much better."

Jiang Ruonan smiled.

In the car, Jiang Ruonan and Jin Shaokang were holding a child alone, and Jin Shaokang asked her, "Have you told the truth to the children?" ”

Jiang Ruonan said apologetically: "There have been a lot of things in the past two days, and I haven't said it yet, don't worry, I will tell them well." ”

"It's okay, take your time. It's too urgent, and the children may not be able to adapt yet. Jin Shaokang said with a smile.

Every sentence warms people's hearts, and it is precisely because of the thoughtfulness and gentleness under his indifferent appearance that I liked him at the beginning.

Jiang Ruonan sighed quietly in her heart, she turned her face and looked out the car window.

He and the children were whispering in his ears, and he patiently listened to the children talk about what they had eaten and played with in the past two days, and then answered them gently.

The tranquil atmosphere almost brought her to tears.

The carriage stopped in front of the big 'gate' of the Hou Mansion, and several people got out of the car. Mrs. Tai was already standing at the big 'gate', looking at the children, and her face was smiling like a 'flower'.

"My good grandson" Mrs. Tai stepped forward and wanted to hold the children in her arms.

The children dodged one after another, hiding behind Jiang Ruonan, looking at Mrs. Tai with hostility.

The smile on Mrs. Tai's face froze, and the disappointment and sadness on her face were so obvious.

Jiang Ruonan pulled the children out from behind and said to them, "What did my mother say? Be polite to people, and say hello to 'milk' and 'milk' quickly."

Hearing Jiang Ruonan's command, the two children reluctantly walked out from behind Jiang Ruonan, and looked at Mrs. Tai and called 'milk' and 'milk'. A smile bloomed on Mrs. Tai's face again, and she wanted to take their hands but didn't dare, so she said to Jin Shaokang, "Take them in quickly." ”

Jiang Ruonan pulled them in. Along the way, the children looked around curiously, and Jiang Ruonan looked at the familiar grass and trees in the house, and suddenly felt like a world away.

First went to the rosin courtyard, Mrs. Tai had already prepared a lot of delicious pastries and snacks in the rosin courtyard, and as soon as she entered, she beckoned the two children to eat, and the children just stayed by Jiang Ruonan's side, until Jiang Ruonan nodded in agreement and then walked over to get something to eat. At first, Mrs. Tai was worried that the children would grow up outside and lose their upbringing, but now she sees that the children are well-behaved, and her heart is even happier.
