Chapter 30: Empress Tao

Queen Tao did not ask about the world for many years, and lived in the Zishen Palace in the name of recuperation, and even the phoenix seal was handed over to the crown princess. If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Zhaode and the crown prince would visit Beique Hall once or twice a month, everyone in Beijing would have almost forgotten that this was the serious mother of the country in Daqin.

Qiu Yulan was not left behind because his wife had been taken care of by this imperial grandmother earlier, but she would not be left behind because she lost her position and was bedridden. It's just that Empress Tao easily refused to see people after saying that she was ill, and she was not allowed to see her many times, and even the attendant who was sick last spring couldn't say a few words to this grandmother - at that time, Empress Tao was already thin and out of shape, the dormitory was deep and wide, and candles were lit day and night, and the shadows looked very strange.

"So I can't be sure if this imperial grandmother has been transferred?" After sending off the palace people, Qiu Yulan sighed and thought to himself, "But I came to summon me today, it should be true?" ”

After Jiang Yashuang returned home that night, she knew about it, but her face was not very good-Qiu Yulan was surprised: "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Last year, when my grandmother was sick and we took turns to enter the palace to serve the illness, the imperial doctor privately said that my grandmother had run out of oil!" Jiang Yashuang said in a deep voice, "That time, in fact, the imperial grandfather and father didn't expect the imperial grandmother to survive!" In the end, I survived, but time was short, and now a whole year has passed......"

"......," Qiu Yulan said gloomily, "No wonder someone suddenly called me, in fact, she wanted to call you, right?" ”

After the death of her biological daughter and her biological granddaughter, Queen Tao looked at the world, and the closest person was Jiang Yashuang, who was raised by her personally, probably Jiang Jingkun from Xiao Tao's family.

She asked, "Then Ming'er, let's go to the Beique Hall together?" Pick up An'er at the East Palace before you go? ”

"Let's do it!" Jiang Yashuang rubbed his eyebrows and said tiredly.

The next day, they sent the child to the Dingxi Hou Mansion together, and went to the East Palace to explain the situation to the crown princess, and the crown princess sighed at the beginning of listening: "The matter of your imperial grandmother, someone has already talked about it last night, I have dressed An'er and told him." You can take him to the Purple Deep Palace! ”

"The Emperor's Grandfather and Father's ......"

"They will go later, after all, your imperial grandmother still wants to see you right now." The crown princess shook her head, and said to Qiu Yulan again, "The matter of the Feng family's suffering two days ago has come to an end, but last time I wronged you for my mother, and it really has nothing to do with you!" ”

Qiu Yulan didn't expect the crown princess to mention the matter of the Feng family, and she also admitted that she had wronged herself, and hurriedly said: "It's also that the daughter-in-law did things too much Meng Lang before, and I can't complain that my mother will think that the daughter-in-law did it." If you change your daughter-in-law, you will feel that your daughter-in-law is the most suspicious! ”

"Let's talk about this later, it's serious for you to go to the Purple Deep Palace first!" The crown princess waved her hand and asked people to lead Jiang Jingkun out.

Jiang Jingkun hadn't seen his uncle and aunt who raised him for a long time, he was very happy, he still pretended to be serious in front of the crown princess, and when he went out, he was so excited that he chattered endlessly-seeing his carefree appearance, the husband and wife felt panicked in their hearts, of course, they didn't think Jiang Jingkun was unfilial, but they didn't know how to tell him about Queen Tao in this atmosphere at the moment?

After simply arriving at the Zishen Palace, smelling the smell of medicine in the palace, and looking at the solemn and solemn expressions of the palace people coming and going, Jiang Jingkun was infected, and gradually held his breath and did not dare to speak loudly.

But he is sexual. Zi and Jiang Jinglang are the same kind, they are active, they can't be idle, they didn't be quiet for long, so they quietly pulled Qiu Yulan's skirt and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, why are you here?" ”

"Let's come to see your great-grandmother, who is also your biological mother's aunt and grandmother." At this time, it is difficult for Qiu Yulan to look at his nephew and not think of Xiao Tao, thinking about those people and things when he first married, although Queen Tao's preference for Jiang Yashuang has always had a purpose, but more than ten years of nurturing grace and getting along day and night are not fake in the end.

But I don't want this imperial grandmother to calculate for a lifetime, and it's really not bad to talk about the city's skills, but none of them and their own flesh and blood have ended well!

Qiu Yulan held back the sourness in her eyes, and took her nephew's hand and stepped into the dormitory: "Remember to say hello to your imperial great-grandmother!" ”

It's just that the three of them were led to Queen Tao's sickbed together, and only a few words were said to Queen Tao, who was obviously back to the light, and the queen said in a weak voice: "Let the palace and Nineteen talk alone for a while!" Nineteen daughter-in-law, you take An'er to avoid it first, will it be done? ”

"Daughter-in-law obeys Yi's will!" Qiu Yulan would not object, and pulled Jiang Jingkun outside, and had no intention of going far, so he stopped under the corridor outside the hall gate.

Jiang Jingkun looked at the people in the palace on the left and right who were far away, and couldn't help but stop talking: "Auntie, please come to peace, can you go to play with the seventeenth brother?" ”

"In the future, maybe your great-grandmother will see you again?" Qiu Yulan sighed and said perfunctorily, "If you are tired, will your aunt hug you?" ”

"Not tired!" Jiang Jingkun said crisply, "Is the emperor's great-grandmother going to see her nephew?" Why don't you see the seventeenth brother? ”

"Your biological mother is the niece and granddaughter of your imperial great-grandmother, and of course your imperial great-grandmother loves you more!" Qiu Yulan said strongly, "Good boy, my aunt is very confused now...... Don't talk yet, okay? ”

Jiang Jingkun showed a look of frustration and said aggrievedly: "Auntie, don't listen to your nephew?" The last time my grandfather taught his nephew homework, he said the same! ”

"What did you say, your grandfather doesn't want you to speak?" Qiu Yulan asked in surprise, a big reason why the prince promoted King Huijun so much was because of Jiang Jingkun - after all, no matter how ignorant of his conscience, no one really thought that King Huijun would be a good emperor. It is also expected that when he ascended the throne, Jiang Jingkun had already grown up, and when the time came, he would supervise the country on behalf of his father - so Tang Sipeng privately ridiculed the king of Huijun as the father and the son.

In this case, how could the prince shut up his grandson?

The nephew said...... "Who would have thought that Jiang Jingkun would only say this, and a heavy cough suddenly came from not far behind the aunt and nephew!"

Before Qiu Yulan turned around, he heard his father-in-law ask coldly, "Nineteen is inside?" ”

“…… Back to my father's words, yes! Qiu Yulan was depressed in her heart, turned around and took Jiang Jingkun to salute, and said in a low voice.

"Your imperial grandfather will also come over in a while, I'm afraid that your imperial grandmother will not be able to summon you again for the time being, so you can take An'er to the side hall to rest!" The prince's words made Qiu Yulan happy, so there is still a chance to ask this father-in-law what to do to tell his grandson to shut up?

As a result, after the prince said this, he asked Jiang Jingkun again: "Have you done your homework today?" ”

"Back to grandfather's words......" Seeing Jiang Jingkun snorting, the prince snorted coldly: "Then why don't you go back to the East Palace to get it?!" Take it to the side hall to do it! Otherwise, if you delay your homework, do you think you can make it up tomorrow?! ”

Qiu Yulan took a deep breath and resisted the urge to step forward and kick this father-in-law!

Jiang Jingkun wants to return to the East Palace, but Qiu Yulan has to wait in the side hall on the orders of his father-in-law, so naturally he can't talk to his nephew anymore - and since he was bumped into by the prince this time, with this person's means, he will definitely guard against her in the future!

"If I can't beat you......" Qiu Yulan went to the side hall angrily, gritting his teeth and thinking, "I really want to put a sack and drag you in the corner!" ”

She wasn't the only one who was in a bad mood on this day - not long after she was sent to the side hall, she was called over again, and it was the crown princess who came to shout in person: "Your imperial grandmother has gone, you go with me to dress her!" ”

At this time, the rules are gone, and the younger generations of the same sex should help put on the shroud for burial.

In the case of female elders, the first choice should be the eldest daughter-in-law.

However, the crown prince is the heir, of course the mound woman is the crown princess, and Princess Gui is so sick that she can't even stay in Beijing, and she is powerless to fight for this qualification. And the crown princess did not call her eldest daughter-in-law Chu Yitong this time, but called Qiu Yulan, thinking that it was because she considered that Queen Tao got along more with Qiu Yulan during her lifetime; There is also a matter of the Feng family who wronged the little daughter-in-law, and there is a meaning to express closeness.

Qiu Yulan was mentally prepared for the death of Queen Tao last night, and although her heart ached when she heard the words at this moment, she did not lose her temper, and got up and said, "Yes!" ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to the main hall of Beique, and saw Emperor Zhaode, the prince, and Jiang Yashuang outside the dormitory.

However, now Emperor Zhaode, who is a grandfather, and the crown prince, who is a father, are worried about supporting Jiang Yashuang, who is the youngest and youngest, and whispering comfort, looking at their faces are very worried-Qiu Yulan was suddenly frightened, and he couldn't care about the elders in the room, and blurted out: "Nineteen? ”

Jiang Yashuang Muran looked at the temple threshold, his eyes were fluttering, his expression was indifferent, as if he hadn't heard anything.

"You go in with your mother first!" Emperor Zhaode waved his hand to his granddaughter-in-law, and gave some distracted orders.

Qiu Yulan hesitated, but was turned around by her mother-in-law and pulled her sleeves, and in the end she was still in the dormitory.

At this time, Queen Tao's personal palace maid had already given her the usual clothes she was wearing before, and she came in with water to wipe her body, held the longevity clothes that had been prepared long ago and knelt on the side of the couch, waiting for the princess and daughter-in-law to come over and put on the queen.

Because the queen is gone, the residual temperature is still there, although the body of the person who went is extremely heavy, but with the help of the palace people, Qiu Yulan is young and strong, which is not particularly difficult to do.

It's just that she remembered her husband and lost her mind several times.

The crown princess knew her mood, didn't say anything, and untied her wrong clothes and rearranged it - the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cleaned up for the queen, washed their hands in the water brought by the palace people, slightly groomed their appearance, and went out to tell Emperor Zhaode and others, at this time, the queen's funeral news had also spread out of the palace, and the mourners came one after another......

- These Qiu Tuolan are not in the mood to pay attention, they are only worried about their husband's condition, and they don't care about the rules or regulations, and they don't leave the river cliff frost every step of the way.

Seeing this, Emperor Zhaode frowned and said to the prince: "Nineteen is too grief-stricken, let's let him go to the side hall to rest for a while." He also said, "Let the nineteenth daughter-in-law take care of her!" ”

The prince glanced at his youngest son, sighed, and said, "Everything is decided by the father!" ”

But Qiu Yulan helped her husband to the side hall, took off his robe and boots for him and lay down, and when he turned around, he didn't see Jiang Shan, the little girl who had been following Jiang Yashuang, and looked outside the hall, and saw Jiang Shan sweating profusely - no, it should be said that he walked over in a cold sweat, looked at no one on the left and right, and whispered to Qiu Yulan with a blank face: "Niangniang, the county king's manpower in the palace has just come to the news, Mr. Tang and Lu Gongzi have urgent matters and want to see the county king!" 100,000 urgent! ”

"You also saw the appearance of Nineteen Fangcai, how can he get out of the palace?" Qiu Yulan frowned, Tang Sipeng and Lu He are not official figures, and they are not grandmasters, so it is naturally impossible to enter the palace to mourn the queen, "Even if Nineteen can get up now, the imperial grandmother is gone, how can he, as the grandson raised by the imperial grandmother, not give the imperial grandmother a ride?" ”

Seeing that the sweat on Jiang Shan's forehead wet the placket for a short time, this little guy had never been so nervous - she had a "grunt" in her heart, and asked in a low voice, "What the hell is going on?!" Tell me first, I'll see if I can persuade the nineteen gods later! ”

"Mr. Tang and Lu Gongzi took advantage of the fact that King Huijun went to the south to deal with the civil rebellion this time and arranged assassins, but they fell ......short," Jiang Shan's unheard words made Qiu Yulan stunned!
