Chapter 222: The Divine Decree
At this moment, Concubine Rou went to the cold palace where the queen was imprisoned.
Different from the luxury of Fengxiang Palace, the cold palace is cold and lonely, and no one has cleaned the thick layer of fallen leaves, and the courtyard is depressed, looking shabby.
Concubine Rou came to a palace, dressed in a golden peony palace costume that looked out of place with everything that had fallen.
Looking up at the crooked plaque, the mandarin duck on the side complained: "It's all cobwebs, why don't everyone clean it up." ”
Concubine Rou ignored it, straightened up and slowly walked in.
There was a lot of dust in the house, and in the sunlight, you could clearly see them floating in the air.
The gentle sound of the wooden fish sounded one after another, but it made people feel peaceful and peaceful.
Concubine Rou walked into the room step by step, and saw the queen in coarse linen clothes sitting on a black and yellow futon, taking off her ring pendant, and quietly looking at the wooden fish exhibition in front of her.
"It seems that my sister is very satisfied with the current life." Concubine Rou smiled and spoke.
The queen stopped what she was doing and said slowly: "My sister is not afraid of bad luck when she comes to this deserted cold palace. ”
Concubine Rou smiled: "Naturally, I am not afraid, from now on, my sister can only live here, and this palace will be able to achieve the position above 10,000 people under that person, what else is there to be afraid of." ”
The queen got up slowly, looked at Concubine Rou's dazzling and gorgeous palace dress, and only felt that it was particularly dazzling, the golden peonies were in full bloom, and the phoenix hairpins on her head were tinkling, which was in stark contrast to herself.
Looking at Concubine Rou's delicate makeup, the queen only felt dazzling, during this period of time in the cold palace, it can be said that she has seen the faces of countless people clearly, and it can be regarded as seeing who is true and who is false when she is in trouble.
Not to mention the side, let's just say that these people who have been with her, or the people she has pulled up, have turned to the enemy camp after the Guozhang Mansion was weakened.
People are really the most realistic animals, but it's okay to wait until the day when her shogunate makes a comeback, and she will never cheapen those treacherous villains.
"My sister said with a smile, I won't stay here for the rest of my life." The queen spoke lightly.
Concubine Rou laughed: "Sister, the two of us have been fighting for so many years, why can't you still recognize the situation now, I said it, in this life, you will stay here, because... Your Majesty is dead..."
Mu Qing's expression remained unchanged, although she had been confined to the cold palace, and her father was sick in bed, but the shogunate had also been paying attention to the movements in the court, and Emperor Beiyan had died, so she naturally got the news.
A touch of sadness flashed in the queen's heart, and she couldn't imagine that a man who had been wise, mediocre, loved, and hated would die in that way in the end.
In life, sometimes you don't know what you're pursuing, but many times, when you are pushed into a position, you have to choose whether to ride the wind and waves, or to move forward.
Since entering the palace, she has been stained with blood with her bare hands, trying her best to cherish every life, trying not to take people's lives, if people have not harmed her, she will not kill them all.
"This palace is willing to be here, but it is to atone for its sins, and once the sins are atoned for, this palace will leave here." The queen spoke lightly.
Concubine Rou sneered: "My sister has a pair of skillful hands, I don't know how many people have been killed, and now I am here to atone for my sins, which is really funny." However, according to my sister, my sister's killing is too heavy, and I am afraid that the sins of this life will not be atoned for. ”
"The redemption is complete or the redemption is not finished, this palace knows in his heart, but my sister, there are too many people who have died in vain, it's not that you blame others for things, this karma will be transferred to others, in the final analysis, it's all counted on my sister." The queen's tone was lukewarm.
Concubine Rou smiled a little hideously, she really endured it for too long: "It seems that my sister is still haunted by the death of Concubine Mei's sister back then." ”
The queen swept Concubine Rou: "Everyone said that I killed Concubine Mei, but who is the murderer, my sister must know better than anyone else." Now that His Royal Highness Nine has become the emperor, he will definitely thoroughly investigate the death of her mother and concubine, and it must not be difficult to make a choice in front of her biological mother and you. ”
Concubine Rou gently stroked the long golden armor set decorated with gems: "This was more than ten years ago, and it is not so easy to find out." Moreover, my sister must not know that His Royal Highness Nine will not be the emperor, so sister, you are really worried. ”
The queen narrowed her eyes: "What do you say!" ”
Concubine Rou didn't mean to continue, but stood up and looked at the queen with contempt: "Sister, in the final analysis, you can sit firmly in the position of the queen, relying on the power of your Mu family, if you are not born in the Mu family, you are not worthy of being my opponent at all." ”
The queen chuckled and said: "After fighting for so long, why doesn't my sister understand a truth, luck is sometimes a kind of strength." ”
"Huh, luck? But this heaven favors this palace after all, and starting today, this world will be this palace! "Concubine Rou is full of sharpness, sharp and compelling, it is enough to see that it has been hidden for too long and hidden too deeply.
Concubine Rou didn't wait for the queen to speak, turned her head and turned to leave.
The queen looked at Concubine Rou's proud back, and there was a deep meaning in her eyes, who won or lost will not be known until the end!
The queen looked at the maid outside: "How's the situation?" ”
"Everything is in place, it's just... It's just that it's delayed because of some things. ”
"What?"
"Concubine Luo Niangniang was poisoned and her life was in danger, and His Royal Highness the Ninth didn't even go to the court today."
The queen's brows furrowed deeply, she didn't like Chu Luoyi, maybe she was happy when she first explained the auspicious omen of wealth and boundlessness for her, but later she came into contact, but found that this woman was vicious, unfathomable, and more terrible than Concubine Rou.
"Don't die when you deserve to die, but live and die when you don't! Could it be that this Concubine Luo is destined to come and destroy my Mu family! The queen sighed.
The maid was silent, and the queen continued to the maid: "Let my father wait and see for a few more days." ”
The maid nodded in response, and the queen was dressed in a plain robe, standing in front of the depressed window, her eyes were far away, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
After a long time, a snow-white petal fell on her hair, and the queen picked it up gently, a little absent-minded.
After Concubine Rou came out of the cold palace, she was always straight, and did not return to the Rou Palace, but walked to the Qianyuan Palace.
The mandarin duck followed closely by Concubine Rou's side, for fear that something would go wrong.
"Why haven't these Nine Highnesses come yet... There is no one in charge of the big things in the court."
"Yes, in my opinion, Your Majesty has passed away, and His Royal Highness the Ninth is the best choice to inherit the unification."
"Yes, the emperor has many heirs, but now it seems that only His Royal Highness the Ninth can take on the role of unification."
Hearing these words, a sneer appeared at the corner of Zhao Zichuan's mouth, but he did not open his mouth to defend himself.
"Concubine Rou has arrived!"
A shrill voice came, but it made all the ministers look out the door.
"Concubine Rou Niangniang.. You are... This court is not the place where the concubine should come."
Concubine Rou didn't hurry, and took out a golden scroll from her wide sleeve.
"This is the holy decree made by His Majesty before, and when His Majesty is not here today, this palace will announce the decree on his behalf." Concubine Rou raised the holy decree with one hand, and her eyes swept over the ministers, with an indescribable nobility.
The ministers looked at each other, and then knelt down.
Concubine Rou walked through the people who knelt on the ground, walked to the top of the jade steps step by step, opened the holy decree with both hands and said slowly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, in the past, Concubine Rou Zhao gave birth to twin sons in Shuihua Palace, one named Guang, one named Liang, the eldest son died violently a few days later, after I checked, I knew that this was a mistake, and now I found the eldest son, see one of his talents, Wen Tao Wuluo, is actually the candidate for the emperor, I specially issued an order, set up Bei Liuguang as the prince, wait for me to return to the west, inherit the unification of Northern Yan!" ”
Concubine Rou spoke slowly, but the courtiers below were all confused by the news!
Back then, Concubine Rou gave birth to a pair of twins, but the eldest son died not long after. Is this said to be alive now? This....
Moreover, Emperor Beiyan suddenly disappeared, this Concubine Rou was able to get the holy decree, could it be said that everything was premeditated, if Concubine Rou had a son, then this palace was not under Zhao Zichuan's control at the moment?
Once the loss of these 100,000 soldiers and horses in the palace, that... Isn't that Beiliuyun a failure, and there is no chance of winning! Even if he relied on the follow-up forces, under this holy decree, he had to lie dormant and look for opportunities again...
The Zhao family is in full swing, but I am afraid of losing this opportunity, and I don't know how many years it will take to wait!
No one thought that Concubine Rou would change her body and have a son!
"Concubine Rou Niangniang's empty words are unsubstantiated, which is really unconvincing." Yun Guogong stepped forward and spoke.
Concubine Rou didn't rush to argue, and Zhao Zichuan's gaze fell on the door of the Qianyuan Palace.
Everyone followed his gaze, and a young man dressed in a golden dragon costume slowly appeared in front of everyone.
Father Xiao stared at the visitor tightly, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and everyone couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation.
Because the boy who appeared is really too similar to Beiliuliang!
Look at the age again, it is basically the same, and then look at the appearance, the eyebrows and eyes are exquisite, slightly fat, but strong and powerful, and a gold forehead on the head adds a bit of young talent. At first glance, it makes people feel a sense of gold, and it is by no means a general generation born and raised in the people.
"Back then, I was told by the imperial doctor that Guang'er died violently and there was no cure, and the palace was heartbroken, and finally went down the river, put Guang'er into the water stream, and flowed all the way out of the palace along the living water in the palace, but who would have thought that Guang'er would not die in a catastrophe and was adopted by a wealthy businessman in the imperial capital!" Concubine Rou spoke slowly, her expression seemed a little excited.
Father Xiao said: "Niangniang is certainly moved to be able to tour her beloved son, but it is a matter of honor and disgrace in Beiyan, how can we listen to Niangniang's one-sided words?" ”
Concubine Rou calmed down from her excitement: "Lord Xiao is reasonable, then first ask the ministers to test the holy decree, this holy decree is written by His Majesty himself, and then handed over to General Zhao and transferred to the hands of the palace." ”
Many people gathered around and carefully studied the holy decree, but those who were familiar with the handwriting of Emperor Beiyan knew that this was definitely written by Emperor Beiyan himself.
Then everyone considered the use of ink, the purpose of the material, etc., and it was indeed a genuine holy decree.
