Chapter Ninety-Seven: Supporting the New Emperor
In the past four years, everyone who entered the cold palace with Concubine Zheng Guifei has all died, how did they die? Part of it was killed by Queen He, and part of it was because he couldn't stand the cold palace days and hanged himself!
Now, Zheng Guifei can't hold on anymore and falls ill, originally it was just a minor illness, but with the passage of time and the lack of medicine, the condition is getting worse and worse, and now, there is only one breath left to hang her life.
"Queen Mother!" Cao Hong grabbed Concubine Zheng's hand and said bitterly.
He knew that his mother was leaving, leaving him.
"Hong'er, the queen mother is so reluctant, the queen mother is dead, what can you do!" Zheng Guifei was lying on the bed, her face was pale and she said with a crying voice.
She knew very well that after she died, her son would definitely not live long, and Queen He would not let him go.
Cao Hong didn't speak, he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Uhhh Concubine Zheng's face suddenly distorted, and she looked really uncomfortable.
Concubine Zheng also raised her hand with difficulty at this time, touching Cao Hong's face, with a full of worry in her eyes.
"Macro... Hong'er, you must ..... Certain.... To live.... ....... live" After Zheng Guifei said this, her whole body was scattered, her eyes were not closed, and she didn't blink her eyes!
"Queen Mother's !!"
"Mother!!"
Seeing this, Cao Hong and Li Zheng roared sadly, Cao Hong's eyes were red at this time, his only relative was gone, as for which one on the dragon chair, hum, he was just a coward, a waste who couldn't even keep his concubine, and he was not worthy of being his father at all.
Li Zheng's emotions at this time were also very excited, he had always regarded Cao Hong as his brother in his heart, and regarded Zheng Guifei as his biological mother, he knew that he was not worthy, so he would rather serve Zheng Guifei to Cao Hong for the rest of his life.
The two of them were saddened, and their roars also attracted Ao Wen's attention, Ao Wen's perception was extremely powerful, and he could detect any sound in the palace.
"Interesting!" Ao Wen came to the cold palace with a black python fan, and when he saw Cao Hong and Li Zheng, he looked interested.
Zheng Guifei's death quickly spread throughout the palace, but it did not make any waves, everyone was not interested in Zheng Guifei's death, even Cao Hui and Empress He just casually ordered the burial of Zheng Guifei, and then began a burst of "Bang Bang!" ”
It's night again, Cao Hong and Li Zheng are kneeling under the spiritual seat in the cold palace, this is guarding the spirit, according to common sense, the concubine died, at least hundreds of eunuchs and palace maids and princes watched the spirit together, but the world is hot and cold, and no palace maid and eunuch and prince will go to the guard for a cold palace concubine.
"If one day, I ascend the throne as the emperor, I will punish the queen and the family!" Cao Hong said viciously.
The immaturity on his face has long been replaced by perseverance, if he just wanted to spend his life with his mother in peace, then now, he wants to be the emperor!
Kill Queen He's family and avenge your mother!
But...... Is it so easy to be an emperor? When the son is alive today, there is a queen in power, and there are six royal brothers, no matter what happens, the throne will not be his turn!
Among the princes, he ranks seventh, and the six royal brothers in front of him, four of them are the biological sons of Queen He, and two are righteous sons, all of whom are Queen He's own people, and the ministers in the court, 90% of them are Queen He's own people.
Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on Cao Hong's resolute face.
"Prince, be careful that the wall has ears!" Li Zheng heard this and hurriedly reminded.
If this person who is heard by Queen He will definitely be charged with plotting rebellion, why? Because you said that you want to ascend the throne as the emperor, when the son is alive today, and you still say such things, isn't it a curse to die today?
When Cao Hong heard this, he was even more bitter, and he had to be careful even when he said a word, hehe, if there is an afterlife, he would rather be born in a beggar's family than be born in the royal family!
"Do you want to be emperor?" Suddenly, an evil voice sounded behind them.
After Cao Hong and Li Zheng heard it, they turned around in fright, no, it's so unlucky, just like that, they were discovered.
But when they turned around, an evil young man in a black python robe shook a black python fan and looked at them with a slight smile, this young man neither of them knew each other.
"Who are you and why are you wearing a python robe!" Cao Hong frowned and snorted coldly.
This person was wearing a black python robe, and at first he thought it was the prince, but he turned out to look at his face, so young, it could not be the prince at all, and his father was the youngest of the previous generation of princes.
The most important thing is that none of his imperial uncles died young, and none of them survived, otherwise his father would not have ascended the throne.
"Do you know Cao Mengde?" Ao Wen asked slowly.
"Presumptuous, you dare to call Taizu Zun, how many heads do you have to cut off!" Cao Hong said coldly.
The person Cao Hong admires the most is Wei Taizu, Emperor Wu of Wei, and now Ao Wen calls Cao Cao's respect, Cao Hong is naturally unhappy!
"Haha, hey, if Cao Mengde knows that he has a great-grandson who defends him like this, and dares to talk to this king like this, I'm afraid he will be very pleased!" Ao Wen shook his fan and said leisurely.
When Cao Hong and Li Zheng heard this, they were all in the clouds, and they couldn't understand what Ao asked.
"Do you know how Cao Mengde dominated the world and ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Honor?" Ao asked about this.
When Cao Hong heard this, he stood up with a proud face and replied: "Taizu is the first in the world in martial arts, and there are countless top civil and military generals to help, so naturally Taizu beat it inch by inch. ”
"Apart from General Wenchen, who else helped him?" Ao Wen asked with a smile after listening.
"And ....." Cao Hong fell into deep thought, began to recall the content of the history books, pondered for a minute or two, he seemed to think of the most untrustworthy word in the history books, that is, the snake demon!
According to historical records, when Taizu began to fight the world, there was a snake demon to help, the snake demon made Taizu's troops stronger, and the fierce generals under Taizu became stronger, and there was the Wei Wu water battle, the battle of the bamboo raft, the history books also recorded that it was the snake demon who helped him, so that Taizu's hundreds of thousands of troops used the bamboo raft to cross the Yangtze River without a single soldier, and defeated the forces of Eastern Wu in one fell swoop, so as to dominate the world!
But these things, in their generation, have become legends, many people don't believe it anymore, after all, they haven't seen it, and the people who witnessed it have died, and there was no camera in that era, and after a hundred years of time torrent, the facts have become legends.
"You.... Why do you ask this, are you a snake demon? Cao Hong suddenly realized, although he said so, but his tone was full of disbelief.
