Act 115 The Empress Dowager Xiaoyu dies
Remember in a second
The emperor mysteriously took her to the pear blossom pond, and the fragrance of pear blossoms came to their noses as they approached, and the water began to steam.
"Your Majesty, this is a surprise for your concubines?" Yu Xuanxun stretched out his hand and scooped up a little pond water and asked with a smile.
"That's more than I want to give you." As he spoke, he paced under the tree, took out a brocade box and handed it to her, "Open it and take a look, do you like it?" ”
Yu Xuanxun took the brocade box with anticipation and opened it carefully, presenting a pair of ingenious masks in front of him, and his smile was full of surprise, "Your Majesty, this is designed by you yourself?" ”
Looking at the lifelike pear blossom decoration on it, the emperor patiently explained, "My intention in creating this pair of masks is to hope that Xun'er can understand that I will not be able to forget the white pear in this life, and she will always be with me in my heart." Of course, you are not her stand-in, you are the only existence since her. ”
Gently closed the brocade box and smiled lightly, "The concubine understands." After a pause, he replied, "Sister Fengli will always stay in the heart of the concubine, and it is precisely because the concubine and the emperor have this common thought that they will let our hearts get closer." ”
"That's what you think?" There was a hint of joy in the emperor's eyes.
Yu Xuanxun nodded without thinking, "The concubine doesn't dare to be guilty of bullying the king." ”
The emperor excitedly picked her up, imprinted a kiss on her lips, and doted, "It's good that I will only spoil you in the future, you have no jokes." ”
"In this life, I can get such love from the emperor, what more can I ask for a husband."
The pear blossoms seemed to celebrate the tenderness and sweetness between them, and the night kicked off in their snuggling.
The emperor and Yu Xuanxun wore a newly made mask, one stroked the piano and the other played the flute, which can be described as a harmonious sound.
A few days later, they were drinking and playing games by the pear blossom pond, and the head of Laining was in a hurry, and the Empress Dowager Xiaohui led people to make trouble in Jinghua Pavilion.
As if they had guessed the reason, they hurried to the point where King Rui had been controlled by a few rough men, and Princess Rui was being pressed there pinching her fingers, and a painful howl penetrated through.
"Tong Jingxuan, the mourning family never thought that you were still alive, and now you are back in a grand manner. If it weren't for you, the Hull couple would have died tragically. This time, the mourners will personally kill you and avenge Her. He reached out and drew his sword from the guard's body and stabbed at her.
"Don't." King Rui struggled anxiously and roared, "Please let the Queen Mother let her go, if you want to ask people to give an explanation for the death of the crown prince Jun Qianhe, the minister is willing to bear it, and only ask the Queen Mother to let Jing Xuan go." ”
"Stop." With the emperor's loud shout, Princess Rui's hair was cut off a section, and she took the opportunity to snatch the sword from the hand of the Empress Dowager Xiaohui, "What are you doing, it's been so long, why can't you let it go." ”
"Your Majesty, don't forget, Qian He is the eldest brother of your mother's compatriots." Empress Dowager Xiaohui roared excitedly, "Now that the person who killed her is still alive, can the emperor allow her to hang in front of you?" ”
The emperor shook the sword in his hand aside and asked, "Don't forget why he died, he deserved to seek power and usurp the throne, and she Tong Jingxuan just did what she should do." ”
The Empress Dowager Xiaohui raised her hand to give the emperor a slap in the face, but she immediately regretted it afterwards, trembling her right hand and muttering, "The mourning family knows the truth of the matter, but they still can't accept the fact of He'er's tragic death, why do you want the mourning family to see her again, why?" ”
"Queen Mother, please calm your anger." Yu Xuanxun helped Princess Rui up and pleaded, "Although the concubine doesn't know what grievances there are between you and Princess Rui, but things have passed for so long, since even the emperor has let go, why is the Queen Mother still addicted to it." ”
The Empress Dowager Xiaohui was furious and slapped her in the face, and shouted angrily, "It's not your turn to criticize the mourning family." ”
The emperor stepped forward to protect him, and said in a deep voice, "Queen Mother, I remember that you are my biological mother, so I tolerate you in every way, if you still can't tolerate the concubine in your eyes, then please also ask the Queen Mother to stay in the Cixiang Palace for a long time, so as not to block yourself when you meet." ”
"Is it possible that the emperor wants to put the mourning family under house arrest in Cixiang Palace?" The Empress Dowager Xiaohui pointed at Yu Xuanxun tremblingly, and said bitterly, "The mother-son relationship between the mourning family and you for more than 20 years is not as good as a concubine who has hurt you several times. ”
Princess Rui struggled to kneel down in front of the Empress Dowager Xiaohui again, and begged, "In the end, all this is the fault of the courtiers, if the Queen Mother can never let go of the death of the crown prince Jun Qianhe, as long as the death of the courtiers can resolve this grievance, then the courtiers would rather die, and only ask the Queen Mother to let my husband King Rui go." ”
"Are you still qualified to negotiate with the mourners?" The Empress Dowager Xiaohui scolded with a fierce look in her eyes.
King Rui finally broke free and knelt beside Princess Rui, "What should come will always come, and the minister is willing to live and die with his beloved wife." ”
Yu Xuanxun also knelt down and pleaded, "Queen Mother, the tragedy of the emperor's life has come to an end, and the crown prince has also been buried in peace, so please don't add more killing." ”
"Sister." The Empress Dowager Xiaoyu staggered over under the support of Xin'an's father-in-law and the head of Laining, and knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager Xiaohui, "My sister is such a son in this life, I am already a dying person, if my sister has tens of millions of discomforts in her heart, let my sister be angry." Don't hurt these two poor children anymore. ”
The Empress Dowager Xiaohui, who couldn't listen to any persuasion, snorted coldly, "You all think that King Rui and his wife are pitiful, so my dead He'er and the crown princess should not be sad." ”
"Stop making trouble, Queen Mother."
The emperor's words completely annoyed the Empress Dowager Xiaohui, and she was excited and torn up with Princess Rui, and the scene was a mess for a moment, and the Empress Dowager Xiaoyu, who wanted to persuade her, couldn't help but push and fell down the stairs weakly.
This accident shocked everyone, everyone ran in the direction of the Empress Dowager Xiaoyu, and the palace maids and eunuchs were also in a hurry to announce the imperial doctor.
For a while, the Cixiang Palace was crowded with people, and the imperial doctors came one after another, and the answers they could get were all the same, all shaking their heads and saying 'there is nothing they can do'.
Prince Rui and his wife were heartbroken inside, and I don't know how long it took for Father-in-law Xin'an to cry silently and announce the news that the Empress Dowager Xiaoyu had died.
Princess Rui's cry resounded throughout the Cixiang Palace, and Yu Xuanxun couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart, leaning on the emperor's arms and crying bitterly.
Although this result was foreseeable by everyone, they did not think that it was because they witnessed her death in this way.
Even if he was reluctant, the funeral of the Empress Dowager Xiaoyu was still held as scheduled, adding a touch of sadness to the unpeaceful harem.
At the end of this day, Yuxuan Xun did not enter the drop, and stood in the courtyard in a daze.
The emperor hugged her from behind in distress and whispered, "I know that you are sad, but the accident of the Empress Dowager Xiaoyu is also something that everyone does not want to happen, I hope you don't blame the Empress Dowager Xiaohui for this incident." ”
Yu Xuanxun looked up at the moon quietly, as if he didn't want the tears in his eyes to fall, and was stunned for a long time before he slowly spoke, "The concubine wants to go outside the palace to worship her mother." ”
"Then I'll go with you." The emperor was silent for a while and agreed.
Yuxuanxun refused politely, "The emperor is the king of a country, how can he follow me out of the palace to that desolate place." ”
"You are my wife, and Lady Jade is the real mother-in-law, and it is only natural for me to worship her." He put his hand against her mouth and said, "Don't think about it, rest early, and I'll pick you up when I'm ready." ”
Although Yu Xuanxun was reluctant to take the emperor out of the palace together, he couldn't stand his insistence and finally came together.
When I got close to Mrs. Yu's clothed mound, tears couldn't stop flowing down, and the picture of Mrs. Jade dying tragically in her arms appeared in my mind.
Fell to her knees in front of Mrs. Yu's grave and cried, "Mother, my daughter has come to see you." ”
Shi Ruomei and the Eleventh Princes helped to sort out the things used in the sacrifice, and the Eleventh Prince, who found that something was wrong, opened his mouth vigilantly, "This soil seems to have been turned over again." ”
"What." Shi Ruomei immediately exclaimed, "Who did it, he didn't even let go of a well-dressed mound, the current tomb robbers are too much." ”
Yu Xuan searched for the dirt, pulled out a bag from below, the pattern on it was still fresh in her memory, clenched it in her hand in disgust, and got up to explain, "This is not a tomb robber, but the gang of black-clothed people who suddenly broke into the cold palace and killed my mother." ”
"You mean, someone is trying to kill you." The emperor frowned and speculated, "You can recognize their appearance, I will send someone to check immediately." ”
Yu Xuanxun shook his head helplessly, "I don't think they want to kill me, but to retrieve the bag embroidered with this pattern." As he spoke, he handed it to the emperor, "This pattern must have been a very important thing to them, but now it has been discarded at will, which means that this is no longer important to them." ”
Yu Xuanxun remembered that Mrs. Yu used to embroider a bag in the cold palace, and now she thought that it must be related to this, so she explained in a hurry, "I know their intention to dig up the mound, because this bag is fake, and the real one must have been hidden by my mother." ”
"You mean that those people did not hesitate to break into the palace to assassinate you and kill Madame Jade for a trick, so what is the significance of this to them?" Shi Ruomei asked inexplicably.
"If you want to uncover the mystery, you can only uncover it if you get the real thing." Eleventh Prince said.
The emperor couldn't wait to drink the order, "Return to the palace immediately." ”
They hurried to the cold palace, but it was already a step too late, and it was a mess that had been searched, and Yuxuan searched almost all the places where they could hide, but after all, they found nothing.
"If you can't find it, forget it, leave this matter to me to deal with, and you don't have to worry about it." The emperor's comfort still failed to persuade her after all.
Yu Xuanxun stubbornly searched for it again and again in the cold palace, even if Shi Ruomei followed to help, in the end, his hope was disappointed.
"That's enough, let's go back." Shi Ruomei, who couldn't stand it, brutally dragged her out.
