Chapter 317: Last Words

On September 26, the ninth year of Yongzheng, the queen of the Wulanala clan collapsed.

On that day, on the occasion of the fourth watch, the night was dark and gloomy, the palace was brightly lit, and the bells in the palace shook the sky - to convey to the world the news of the death of the original queen of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty!

The mother of the country died, and the concubines, princes, princesses, ministers, and wives gathered to mourn.

When Huizhu arranged the corresponding matters and returned to Jingren Palace to change into plain clothes, the front of Chuxiu Palace stretched from the white jade platform in the main hall to the bottom of the steps outside the palace, and it was already full of people kneeling in black. The palace concubines and concubines who are usually dressed up with heavy makeup or light colors are all wrapped in plain clothes at this time, and the fat powder hairpin ring is gone, and their expressions are sad and whimpering.

Lightly swept over the people in front of him who did not seem to be fake, Huizhu shook his head lightly, and looked up at the sky that was gradually turning white, his eyes were fixed on the star that was about to disappear, and his lips couldn't help but squirm slightly, and asked silently: "Is it worth winning the name before and after life?" ”

No one gave an answer, but when he turned around, another Xiao Ranzi bowed and said, "Master, Qin Tianjian has chosen the auspicious time for Mao, but let him be buried?" ”

Huizhu pondered and said, "There are still nearly two hours, I think it is too late to prepare sooner, and it is time to be buried." Xiao Ranzi should be, Huizhu thought about it and asked, "What about the emperor?" ”

Xiao Ranzi glanced at Huizhu and replied thoughtfully: "The emperor is in the main hall...... In the church, you are not allowed to ...... Anyone bother. Before the words fell, he immediately added: "Of course, this person does not include you, the master. As he spoke, the end note unconsciously became smaller under Huizhu's shallow glance.

As they spoke, the master and servant had bypassed the mourning crowds and entered through the back door of the main hall. Huizhu stood outside the curtain, waved away the palace attendants including Lu and Ran, knocked on the door railing, and then said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is here." After speaking, there was silence for a moment, and Fang listened to Yinzhen with a whirlwind of voice in his voice: "Come in." ”

According to the words of the curtain in, suddenly, the dim light rushed straight into the eye, Huizhu reflectively squinted his eyes and looked around, for a long time, finally through the light that came in through the window, on the wooden kang near the window to see Yinzhen sitting alone and silent.

Seeing this scene, Huizhu's footsteps stagnated, and then she walked towards the wooden kang in the south, and said casually as she walked: "Why don't you let the palace people light the lamp?" It's always not good to sit alone in the dark. When he was talking, he walked to the windowsill unconsciously, pushed his doubles, and the closed window opened with a "squeak", and the brilliant lights shone in large swaths, reflecting the light of the next room, and also hitting Yinzhen's silent face.

Due to the stimulation of the light, Yinzhen's eyelids moved, and he felt the familiar fragrance lingering in his nose, and he had the meaning of talking, so he heard Yinzhen rarely feel nostalgic: "No matter what the queen does, whether I agree with it or not." As the queen of Fu Jin, she is indeed a lot of reliance on me. Although I have been deliberately estranged from the Empress in recent years, I am grateful for all that she has done during the seven years of court life in my youth. ”

After finishing speaking, Yinzhen suddenly raised his head, looked at Huizhu and asked, "Concubine Xi, do you know?" The queen has seen and accompanied me, the most confused and difficult period of my life. In my heart, she is like my longest-standing friend, integrated into my past life. But now, the two people who participated in my journey from the darkest days to this day have passed away one after another, and I am the only one left......"

Before he could say a word, Huizhu interrupted sharply: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this!" Hearing this, Yinzhen was stunned, and when she looked at it again, Huizhu was obviously a fierce look, although her face was solemn, but her slightly trembling shoulders revealed the fear in her heart.

At this glance, Yinzhen could see clearly, and the loneliness between his eyebrows was also diluted a lot, and seeing that Huizhu was still staring at him with dead eyes, he couldn't help but look straight and said firmly: "No need to think nonsense, now Hongli can't cope with the overall situation, and you are still so young, I ...... There is still a lot of instability in the country, and the war has not stopped recently. How can I rest assured about this! When he said the last sentence, his eyes were full of light, and there seemed to be a cluster of burning flames jumping in them.

This man is always like this!

Huizhu smiled heartily and was about to say something, but Yinzhen's thinking jumped very quickly, her words changed, and she asked again: "Concubine Xi, when I was alone with the queen, did you know what the queen asked me for?" What did you say to me? Or, those words, the queen has already said to you. ”

What did Ulanala say?

When Huizhu heard this, her heart suddenly gathered, and she was busy looking at Yinzhen, seeing a faint smile in his eyes, and she was even more uncertain in her heart, so she only shook her head in confusion. Yin Zhen just asked casually, and then said to herself: "The queen asks that after she dies, she will make you her successor." ”

What the? How can it be! Before the Wulanala clan died, she was obviously afraid that she would become the successor, so how could she take the initiative to ask Yinzhen to make her the successor!

Huizhu was puzzled, but her intuition felt that there must be something wrong with Ulanara's words. Sure enough, I heard Yinzhen say later, the Wulanala clan vigorously advocated the draft girl the month before because he knew that time was running out, and his subordinates wanted her to succeed him; But because she heard rumors that the court was unfavorable to her, she selected a show girl with both talent and virtue, one was the heir of the Guangyan Emperor, and the other was for her to break the unvirtuous name of jealousy and favor, so as to think that the court ministers could unanimously agree to make her the queen.

After speaking, Yinzhen asked, "What do you think?" ”

What does she think? Huizhu was still angry in her heart, worthy of the Wulanala clan, she actually came up with such a grandiose explanation! It's just that Yinzhen really believes the words of the Ulanala clan? After all, he has few heirs, and as a man, even an emperor, he hopes that his heirs will be prosperous; Moreover, the Wulanala clan made her the queen, which was also in line with Yinzhen's wishes.

In this way, no one can find fault with the Ulanala clan's move!

However, in the name of her current concubine jealousy, only by obeying the "kindness" of the Wulanala clan, arranging for Yinzhen to favor Li and Liu, and later recruiting the daughters of courtiers, can she solve the rumors and win the support of the ministers; But on this point, she could never do it. However, at this moment, the problem is in front of her, if she really refuses to be the aftermath, wouldn't it be hypocritical, how can she speak!

After some consideration, Huizhu knew that he didn't open his mouth, nor did he open his mouth, so he simply bit his lower lip and didn't say a word.

Seeing that Huizhu was stubborn without saying a word, but there was an occasional uncertain look flashing on her face, Yinzhen knew what she meant, so she didn't ask any more, cleared her throat, and said: "The queen is newly martyred, and there is Norbu rebelling in front of her, and there is a fierce battle with Tongbo and Edeng Chule, and I have no intention of harem, so I will pass on my will, and there is no need to arrange for the new show maids to sleep." As for the establishment of the queen, let's talk about it later. ”

In this way, the last words of the Wulanala clan and the nine newly promoted concubines ended under the decision of Yinzhen's life. Subsequently, Yinzhen and Huizhu divided the affairs of the court and the harem, and on the occasion of the New Year, the two things were safe.

In December, the Ulanala clan was buried, and she was called Empress Xiaojingxian. At the end of the same month, the Qing army also won a preliminary victory with Dzungaria.
