Chapter 41: Kill Me
"Get out of here, stay away from grandma!"
Nangong Yan roared angrily and tore off her hand, the blood in her hand also stained his hand, and his eyes were full of bloodshots.
"Yan'er, don't, don't blame Qiqi, as long as you and Qiqi are fine, grandma will be relieved. My wife, my body, can't last long. ”
Last month, when the doctor from the Tai Hospital came to see her for her, he told her that her body could last for half a year at most, and at least it was a matter of one or two months.
She thought that she had lived for so many years, and her children and grandchildren had fulfilled their filial piety, so she would not disclose the news to them, so as not to let them follow and add to the blockage, then she would really feel uncomfortable in her heart.
"Grandma, she hurt you, and you still speak for her..."Nangong Yan's eyes were welling with tears, and he grabbed her hand nervously.
"Quick, go and announce the Imperial Doctor!" The concubine standing on the side pretended to be panicked and said, and a few little eunuchs hurriedly ran out.
Then, she walked up to Yu Qiqi and waved her hand, "Bang!" With a snort, he threw it at Yu Qiqi's face and scolded her angrily, "Qiqi, the Empress Dowager treats you best, how can you do such a rebellious thing?!" ”
"I... I didn't..."She raised her face, there was no clear light in her eyes, only a hazy tear, even she didn't know what happened just now, only faintly felt that a voice had been echoing in her head, making her pull out the dagger in her sleeve and stab at the Queen Mother.
"Dare to quibble!"
Concubine Yi shouted angrily, and was about to raise her hand to hit her, but Nangong Yan, who stood up, grabbed her and threw her aside, "She is a person from His Royal Highness, and I will punish her, and it will not be your turn to come!" ”
"I forgot, Your Highness is still here." Concubine Yi rubbed her wrist and straightened up slightly.
Nangong Yan let out a soft snort from the tip of her nose, but she didn't go to help Yu Qiqi, the most important thing at the moment was the Queen Mother, her old eyes were already slowly closing.
"Grandma, don't fall asleep."
He panicked in his heart, and walked towards her soft couch with her, the blood on her heart was already stained red, and her wrinkled face looked bloodless, only pale.
"Grandma doesn't sleep, she doesn't sleep." Seeing his panicked and helpless, she opened her mouth and gently coaxed him like she did when she was a child.
Nangong Yan's heart trembled, as if he had been pulled hard, and he couldn't speak.
When Emperor Yan Jing arrived, the imperial doctor had already arrived, and everyone stood aside with a twisted face, and outside, it was full of grandmothers and palace maids and eunuchs.
"Mother, mother." Song Gaoeun carried the hem of Emperor Yan Jing's clothes, and he ran towards the empress dowager who was already dying on the bed, and his holy face was full of panic.
"Since you were a child, you have treated Yan'er badly, after I leave, you don't have to guess his filial piety to you, your father and son have been separated for so many years, it is not a good thing after all, your throne will always be passed to him in the future." She kept that tone in her heart, just waiting for him to come and talk to him about it.
Over the years, she has seen that the hearts of their father and son are getting farther and farther apart, and she has also persuaded Emperor Yan Jing, but he didn't listen, and Nangong Yan said that he was willing to bow his head and submit to softness, but he would always make him angry.
She had to say these words before she could willingly break off this breath.
"Erchen, Erchen wrote it down." At this moment, if he doesn't agree to her again, then he will really become unfilial.
"Just write it down."
The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand to him, and then, she glanced at Nangong Yan and Yu Qiqi with haggard eyes, "You two come here." ”
Both of them looked very bad, and when they heard her say this, they hurried towards her, not letting her wait a moment.
She opened her mouth, with a pleading tone in her words, "Qiqi, Yan'er has a bad temper, often gets angry with you, and makes you suffer a lot of grievances in the East Palace, my old woman knows, but his heart is not bad, but his brain is not completely enlightened, and you will have to bear more in the future." ”
"Grandma, don't say that, you must get better." Yu Qiqi's eyes were red, her hands were stained with her blood, and she didn't dare to touch her again.
"Yan'er, treat Qiqi better, if you let me know that you bully her again, I will teach you a good lesson in my dreams!"
She tried to pretend to be very majestic, but as soon as she said these words, she coughed violently several times, and her eyelids closed little by little.
"Grandma! Grandma! ”
Nangong Yan's heart tightened, and she shouted loudly twice, but she didn't get a response from her. His hands were gripping her quilt tightly, and before he could say yes to her, she closed her eyes forever, making him feel a little chill in his body.
"What the hell is going on?!"
Emperor Yan Jing, who had endured it for a long time, finally broke out at this moment.
Yu Qiqi sobbed for a while, and then immediately wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Plop!" Kneeling on the ground, "It was the son who stabbed the grandmother in the heart with a dagger, and it was the son who did it, begging the father to punish him!" ”
She bent over, buried her head low, and did not have the cowardly appearance of Fang Cai, and recognized it all in one go.
"The queen mother has always treated you best, why do you treat her like this? Is it to avenge your dead Nanzhao people?! ”
Yu Qiqi is the princess of Nanzhao, and she is not from their Yanjing after all.
"Father, there must be something hidden in this matter!" Nangong Yan also knelt on the ground, he turned his face sideways, and pointed to the concubine who was standing aside watching the excitement, "You should ask Concubine Niangniang, what have you done to Qiqi in Liangxi Palace during this time?!" ”
How abnormal she was, he saw it all.
"Oh? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must also have evidence to slander people, right? If you don't even have evidence and think that it was the hands and feet of this palace, this palace will not admit it. ”
Concubine Yi stared at her and said these words painlessly.
"On weekdays, Niangniang and my princess have never walked around in private, and just because of the oolong that came out some time ago, you insisted on keeping her by your side, which is the best evidence." Even if she loves it no matter how much she likes it, it doesn't make sense to suddenly dominate people like this.
Concubine Yi's face was not flustered, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has good nonsense skills, you can go to tell stories." ”
"Mother, she treats me well." However, at this moment, Yu Qiqi opened his mouth to say this, his voice was soft and glutinous, without a trace of anger.
Nangong Yan turned his head to look at her, with a threat on his face, "You shut up for me!" If you don't know anything, don't meddle! ”
He couldn't wait to wake her up, he was helping her intercede, but she was looking for death.
"Really."
She glanced at Concubine Yi and said this sentence very firmly, and now, even Nangong Yan didn't know how to defend her.
"Do you really plead guilty?" Emperor Yan Jing's face was very gloomy, although the Empress Dowager said that she did not blame Yu Qiqi, but as the Son of Heaven, he wanted to convict her.
"I admit it, I recognize it."
Yu Qiqi glanced at Concubine Yi cautiously, and immediately nodded.
"Someone! Take it down, have had enough of the punishment in the torture room, and release it again! Emperor Yan Jing's eyes were filled with anger, and the flesh on his cheeks shook violently.
She glanced at the Empress Dowager reluctantly, her lips moved, but as soon as she saw the eyes of the concubine, she lowered her head again, and obediently followed the guards who came up to escort her away.
Nangong Yan gritted her teeth, her heart was very sad, her face was very depressed, the Empress Dowager had just died, he had to deal with her afterlife, he interceded for Yu Qiqi, but she was bewitched by the concubine and confessed her guilt, even if he had three heads and six arms, he couldn't save her.
As soon as Concubine Yi returned to the Liangxi Palace, the cruelty on her face could not be hidden, the black civet cat rubbed under her ankle, she bent down and hugged it into her arms, "Master, she left you by my side, but she helped me a lot." ”
"Congratulations to Niangniang for another good game of chess." Song Gaoyan was very timely and came over to say hello to her.
Concubine Yi narrowed her eyes, "But Nangong Yan is not blind, he is thoughtful, and he can see at a glance that Yu Qiqi is abnormal, and I can't win this game of chess." ”
"So what? Now that the thorn in your eye, the Empress Dowager has been removed, Yu Qiqi has also been imprisoned, and this seat dares to guarantee that the thorn in the Empress Dowager will always be planted in the hearts of the two of them. ”
Nangong Yan's temperament, Song Gaoeun still knows a lot about himself, otherwise, how to blow the wind in his ears by Emperor Yan Jing's side for so many years.
"You're right." He coaxed the concubine to be happy, and she took the initiative to pass her hand over.
Song Gaoyun immediately stroked her hand into her hand, unfortunately, at this time, a palace maid ran into her bedroom in a panic, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she took a step back tremblingly, "Niangniang, there is a person who claims to be the son of Nanzhao and wants to break into the palace." ”
Concubine Yi immediately sat up and pulled her hand out of Song Gao's palm, "Yan Shiqing? She hooked the corners of her lips, and a smile crossed her face, but then, a flash of panic.
In short, it's complicated.
"The slave doesn't know his name, but he has already come to the dormitory." Outside, there was indeed a sound of movement.
"What is he here for?"
was disturbed for no reason, and Song Gao's face and tone were not very good.
"You go out first." Concubine Yi looked sideways and suddenly changed her face.
Song Gaoyan stood up, and his words were full of yin and yang, "It seems that this person is very important to Niangniang." ”
Last time, when she asked him to go to the East Palace to save Yan Shiqing, he felt that something was not right, but she had too many things that she had never told him, and he was inconvenient to ask.
The two of them, she took advantage of his power, he coveted her amorousness, and each took what he wanted. If you want to say that there are any feelings, the ghost believes it.
He snorted lightly, left her Liangxi Palace with an unhappy face, and when he walked out, he happened to meet Yan Shiqing, who didn't look very good-looking.
The two of them glanced at each other outside the door, Yan Shiqing knew that he was the head of the celebrant supervisor, so he only bowed slightly with him, and walked in, not noticing the strangeness in Song Gao's eyes.
Song Gaoyan also glanced down, and left as if he didn't know anything.
Qingyu stood outside, holding his hands back and forth.
"You... How did the prince come to Hongu? Concubine Yi tried her best to hide the excitement in her heart, and the tanuki in her arms had already let the palace maid hug her.
"What is the relationship between Concubine Yi and my father Yan Churan?" He paused and withdrew his eyes from looking directly at her, "Also, why did you let the seventh sister enter the palace to accompany you?" ”
He didn't do any of that kind of courtesy to her.
Hearing this, Concubine Yi's smile froze on her face, and she raised her eyebrows slightly, "I saved you, are you still not happy?" ”
"I'm just curious, just because of a letter from my father, you rescued me from the East Palace." Yan Shiqing still didn't dare to raise her head, her eyes were different from ordinary people, which made people look at it and it was not very comfortable.
"My friendship with your father, he didn't tell you, naturally he has a reason. I was just entrusted by him to do him a favor, you don't have to think about it. ”
Her face was very calm, but in her heart, she was already excited, and she really wanted to go over and touch his face and take a serious look at his appearance.
"What about the Seventh Sister? Why did you bring her into the palace? "When he entered the palace just now, he came to Liangxi Palace, and as soon as he arrived on the road, a palace maid told him that Concubine Yi Niangniang went to the Empress Dowager and asked him to wait outside, so he didn't come over, and waited outside the palace road.
About an hour later, he heard the sound of the imperial bell ringing on the palace road, and it rang thirteen times, indicating that an old man had passed away in the palace.
But the old people in the palace are only the Queen Mother.
His eyebrows were solemn, and on the way to Liangxi Palace, Qing Yu's eyes were sharp, and he saw Yu Qiqi who was escorted down by the guards in the distance.
Yan Shiqing raised his eyes and saw that it was really Yu Qiqi, her hands and body were full of blood stains, and as soon as the Empress Dowager died, he saw her like this, and his heart was faintly uneasy.
Concubine Yi covered her lips and smiled, hiding a trace of panic in her eyes, "I know that the crown princess has always been the most important person in the world, and I also saw her pleasing to others, so I called her into the palace to accompany me." ”
"What kind of grudge do you have with Nangong Yan? Why did you frame the Seventh Sister? Yan Shiqing had already vaguely guessed that the person in the palace who dealt with Nangong Yan was the charming concubine in front of her.
Concubine Yi sneered and slowly approached him, "The prince is really funny, I was thinking of a little old love with your father and rescued you from His Royal Highness the Prince, but you came to me and questioned me again and again, I was kind enough to save you, but you are so-for-tat with me, is this really the attitude that a benefactor should have?" ”
"You saved me, I naturally miss your kindness in my heart, but if you want to frame the seventh sister, I won't allow it! I will return your kindness to you, if you want to deal with Nangong Yan, deal with him alone, don't pull the seventh sister into the water. ”
The sharpness on Yan Shiqing's face did not fade by half a point, and the white jade hanging on his waist also swayed with his body, in the matter of Yu Qiqi, except for her marrying into the East Palace, he did not give in.
"Humph!" She snorted coldly, "She is all His Royal Highness's people, what are you fighting for, in her eyes, there is only His Royal Highness the Prince, I have seen it all these days." ”
Suddenly, Yan Shiqing's heart was suffocated, "In short, you just can't harm her." He clenched his fists and said coldly: "Otherwise, otherwise I will not let you go!" ”
"You threaten me?!" In the blink of an eye, Concubine Yi's face had changed, becoming very gloomy, and with a sense of loss.
"Whatever you want!" Yan Shiqing didn't leave her any affection, and walked out of her dormitory, since she and Yan Churan refused to tell him, then he went to check it himself!
"Shizi, how is it?"
As soon as he came out, Qingyu hurriedly ran up and asked him with concern.
"Let's go back to Proton Mansion!" At that moment, Qing Yu immediately understood and followed him out of the palace.
When he came out, he happened to meet Lin Chaofu and Lin Chaoge, two brothers and sisters who came to the palace, and when he saw him, Lin Chaoge's eyes lit up, his picturesque eyebrows were slightly curved, and there was softness on his face, "Yan Shizi." ”
Yan Shiqing smiled at her, and bowed slightly to Lin Chaofu, not planning to stay too long. He already knew in his heart that Lin Chaofu wanted to befriend him, but he had been waiting for an opportunity.
"I didn't expect Yan Shizi to dare to break into not only the door of the East Palace, but also the door of the Imperial Palace." He, as always, laughed at his identity.
"The Empress Dowager died, the two of them rushed into the palace to mourn, and the little marquis should hurry in, it's not good to make people who have passed away wait too long."
Yan Shiqing looked back at him and choked him.
Lin Chaofu's face immediately changed, and the Yan Shiqing in front of him was not the same as the low-minded appearance before.
"Brother, what the prince said is right, let's go in quickly." Lin Chaoge has always disliked that his relationship with Yan Shiqing was too stiff.
Lin Chaofu didn't have more verbal disputes with him, and it was also good for the Empress Dowager to treat their brothers and sisters before her death.
The state funeral of the Empress Dowager was held in Yanjing City for three days. Nangong Yan has been guarding in front of her spirit, and he also asked Chu Peiyu to pay attention to Yu Qiqi's affairs, but it was a heavenly prison, and Chu Peiyu couldn't get in if he wanted to.
Ah Jian pestered Chu Peiyu for three days before he told her the whereabouts of Yu Qiqi, she took advantage of the Empress Dowager's coffin to be carried out of the palace and sneaked into the palace quietly, not wanting to be caught by Chu Peiyu, "There is a prison, and the punishment is heavy, can you break in if you want to?" ”
In the dim light, Chu Peiyu whispered at her.
"I don't care, I must go and save the princess! Before the princess and I came to Nanzhao, the queen mother instructed me to take good care of the princess's safety! Now she's behind bars, I can't leave it alone! ”
Ajian grimaced a grim face and also whispered at him.
"But if you go in like this, not only will you not be able to save her, but you will also take your own life!" Seeing that she was about to rush out, Chu Peiyu grabbed her arm hard to prevent her from being exposed to the eyes of those guards.
"But I, I can't do it!" She lifted the burden, and at this moment, the feeling of helplessness in her heart was revealed.
She didn't know that once she broke into that prison, it would be a fate, but she couldn't just sit and wait.
Now that the Empress Dowager has passed away, in this cold Yanjing City, except for Yan Shiqing and her, no one cares about the safety of the princess!
But Yan Shiqing couldn't speak in front of Emperor Yan Jing, she could only save herself.
"You wait patiently first, His Royal Highness will save the crown princess." Chu Peiyu saw that her eyes were red when she was so anxious, and her voice softened.
"Your Highness, I don't dare to hope for it." Nangong Yan was moody, so she didn't believe that he would really be good to the princess.
"These days are the funeral of the Empress Dowager, and His Royal Highness has no time to put all his thoughts on the Crown Princess, but when the funeral is over, he will definitely plead with the emperor."
Ah Jian raised her head and looked at him with some disbelief, but when she saw a touch of firmness between his sharp eyebrows, she suddenly felt at ease.
"Well, I'll believe you once." She glanced at the impregnable prison, her eyes stagnated, and she gave up struggling.
At night, Yu Qiqi felt cold on her body, she had been in this prison for three days, and today was the third day.
There were many scars on her body, all of which had fallen during these three days.
The jailers who held the torture tools showed no mercy when they executed her, some of the torture tools were cold, some of the torture tools were hot, she was beaten to the point that her skin was open, and her body was very painful, but her consciousness slowly sobered up.
She recalled the days after she entered the Liangxi Palace, the first day she entered, her hands and feet were sore, her whole body was weak, and after waving the dagger at the concubine, she fell asleep in a daze for a long time, as if they were all the same dream, and in the dream, there were always blood stains.
Thinking of this, Yu Qiqi's body became colder and colder, and she stared at the faint light of the torches in front of the cell door, surrounded by halos of light, which seemed to be very warm.
Looking at it, suddenly, the face of the Empress Dowager was reflected in the aperture, Yu Qiqi's eyes froze, and the corners of her lips curled, "Grandma, Grandma..." she stretched out her hand to her.
However, the Empress Dowager only looked at her and smiled, did not walk towards her, held her hand as usual, and called her affectionately: "Qiqi." ”
Suddenly, her kind face vanished, disappearing into the faint light of the torches.
"Grandma, grandma!"
Yu Qiqi panicked in her heart, and hurriedly screamed, and her tearing sound rang out again and again in the cell.
"What a noise!" A jailer came over and scolded her, but she didn't listen, she still screamed miserably, the jailer was impatient, and regardless of whether she was the crown princess or not, he immediately swung his stick and struck her head, and a blood stain oozed from her forehead.
Suddenly, her brain shook, everything that happened before she went to prison was all over in her mind, the few days when she slept in the Liangxi Palace, it was Concubine Yi who gave her ecstasy, which was a kind of witchcraft in Xichu, she had only seen it in books.
As soon as she saw the eyes of the concubine, she would obediently listen to her.
On the day she asked the Empress Dowager to say goodbye in the Warm Pavilion, Concubine Yi used ecstasy to control her and asked her to kill the Empress Dowager.
Yu Qiqi lowered her head and raised her hand, the blood seeping from the corner of her forehead dripped into her palm, and that day, her hand was also covered with blood like now, "It's me, I killed Grandma with my own hands..."
"Grandma, she, she treated me best, but I killed her with my own hands."
After muttering a few times, suddenly, she grabbed the corner of the jailer's coat, raised her head and pleaded with him, "Kill me, kill me, let me atone for my grandmother!" ”
Her small face was covered with blood, and it was hideous and terrifying.
"Crazy! Simply crazy! The jailer bent down, tore her hands off, and kicked her so hard that she fell to the ground and out of her cell.
