The candidate for the new emperor is not so easy to decide, there are many people who recommend the king, most of them are military generals and the party, but there are also other princes in the family, as well as the vassal kings who recommend the king of Huainan, but after all, there are only a few people, and most of the courtiers echo the proposal to promote the king under the eyes of the queen mother.

The queen mother looked at the courtiers who had not spoken much, and then said unhurriedly: "Speaking of this dynasty, the son inherits the father's will, and the prince succeeds to the throne, but the saint has no heirs under his knees, so naturally he can only be the younger brother to inherit the brother's will, but this brother also has relatives and aliens, and Wang Mi is the youngest son of the first emperor, with a stable and square character, and the first emperor of Shen Xiao is the most suitable candidate to inherit the unification." ”

As soon as she said it, it was the final word, and the courtiers who had objections couldn't help but glance at each other, and lowered their heads weakly.

In this way, the new emperor candidate has been decided.

It's just that the edict can't be issued now, just because the saint has not died yet, and the breath in his chest has never been spit out, and he is still panting and living, and everyone can only wait.

But some people can't wait any longer.

Yeting Palace hurriedly sent the news, and the queen was afraid that it would not work.

The Queen Mother sat in the East Pavilion, looked at the sage whose breath was so weak that it was almost invisible on the couch, and frowned: "How can this be...... Mingzhu, you can take a look for me. ”

The saint will die at any time, and the queen mother can't leave, so Gu Mingzhu got up and went to the Yeting Palace with the female official and the palace maid.

The queen was still awake, she saw Gu Mingzhu coming over with red eyes, reaching out and grabbing it in the air, wanting to grab Gu Mingzhu, hissing and exhaling in her mouth, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few words: "He's dead?" ”

She heard the cries in the court, and when the saint died, she would choose a lot of maids from the court to guard the spirit, and these women in the mood for love were naturally unwilling, but they had no choice but to cry and wait for their fate.

Gu Mingzhu looked at her, obviously the oil was already running out, but she was still waiting for the death of the saint, and she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, but she could only whisper: "The saint is still recuperating." ”

Just this sentence, it was like taking away all the strength of the queen, she put down her hand softly, looked at Gu Mingzhu, and her eyes were blank: "He's not dead yet?" Not dead yet? ”

She supported it for so long just to wait for him to die first, and hearing that he was dead, she had much less hatred in her heart, but he was not dead yet, and she couldn't stand it anymore.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the queen's crazy appearance, and really didn't know what to say, so she could only turn her head and ask the palace maid: "What about the medical officer?" ”

The palace maid hurriedly went to ask the hospital to judge her, and returned to the queen's condition with Gu Mingzhu.

The queen lying on the couch slowly weakened her breath, her face turned from anxious red to gray, and all her blood color faded, like rotten wood, but her eyes were still open, staring at the blue gauze curtains, and she refused to close them, as if there was something on that side that she could never put down.

The court judgment has already made it very clear that the queen's body is no longer complete, these days are just a breath that has not been put down, and she barely holds on, but at this time it is no longer useful, this day is already half asleep, and the depth when she saw Gu Mingzhu is just a return to the light, I am afraid that it will not be long before I go.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the queen, whose chest was getting weaker and weaker, and was always puzzled in her heart, why did the queen hate the saint so much, although they were not a loving husband and wife before, they were still husbands and wives, but now they came to this step for some reason, hoping that the other party would die first.

She sent her to the court for judgment, but she summoned the queen's personal maid Yuyan outside the hall, sat in the corridor and asked Yuyan, who was already crying, with red and swollen eyes: "You have been waiting in front of you for the past few days, what has the queen explained?" ”

Yuyan lowered her head timidly, and her voice was like a mosquito: "No, I didn't say anything, my mother didn't say anything when she was sick......

Gu Mingzhu looked at her coldly: "You can't hide it, I haven't come twice, and the queen mother said these words, not only you are waiting in front of you every day, but also the people in the court, if you don't want to say it, they will also say it." ”

Yuyan was already frightened, and all she was thinking about in the queen's mouth these days was to want the saint to die, cursing God for having no eyes, and making such a useless and despicable person the Son of Heaven, and there should be retribution.

The queen is already too sick, but she still has to live in the palace, and her heart is already up and down, hearing Gu Mingzhu say this, she hurriedly knelt down: "County Lord, Niangniang is, she is sad and confused......"

From Yuyan, Gu Mingzhu learned what happened after the rebels entered the Taiji Palace that day.

When the rebels attacked the Taiji Palace, the saint was still feasting the ministers in the Taiji Palace, and he didn't even hear the sound of the siege such as the earth-shaking sound under the singing and dancing, until the commander of the Praetorian Guard hurriedly came to report that he panicked and asked people to prepare a carriage to escape.

The queen had just been canonized, and she hadn't even done the post-canonization ceremony, so she hurried from the Ganlu Hall to dissuade the saint from escaping, and said that the saint wanted the saint to sit in the Taiji Temple, even if she couldn't repel the rebels, she could stabilize the hearts of the people, but she was kicked by the saint to the side of the road, he got into the carriage and ordered to rush out, ignoring the queen at all.

It's just that the rebels have broken through the palace, and the saint and the queen have been captured by the rebels, but King Chen Liuwang has never embarrassed the queen and asked her to serve by the saint's side.

But the saint was frightened by the rebels, and thought that King Chen Liuwang would not spare his life, and would inevitably kill himself soon, in order to save his life, he quietly bribed the soldiers who guarded him with the jade pendant and silver crown he wore closely, and wanted to escape, but after being refused, he even pushed the queen out, so that the soldiers could enjoy their wives to the fullest, as long as he was let live.

The soldiers did not refuse, and really took the queen to the next room, although Yuyan did not follow, but heard the queen's mournful cry and pleading, and had the last painful wail.

It's just that the saint thought too simply, and the soldiers trampled the queen and threw her back, and they didn't have the slightest intention of letting the saint escape, but guarded her more tightly, and didn't even say anything to the saint anymore.

From that time on, the queen hated the saint to the core, hated to eat his flesh raw, and wanted to pounce on him like a mad beast to bite him, but she was stopped by the rebel soldiers, and had to lock her up in the palace of the court.

The monstrous hatred and the torture after the miscarriage slowly grinded the queen to this point, but she never forgot her hatred, she was waiting for the saint to die first, but she also had to wait on the bridge to see his fate!
