"The Queen Mother, she ...... She's stinged! ”

The whole outer room suddenly became cold, Si Yue suddenly got up, looked down at the little eunuch, "What did you say?" ”

"The Queen Mother, Your Majesty." The little eunuch looked up and repeated with a hint of trill.

"You go down, I, I go to see the Queen Mother." Si Yue said and stepped forward, and Zhou Shuxian on the side immediately stepped forward and stretched out her hand to help him, but she didn't want Si Yue to directly pull away her hand, "Imperial concubine, come here." ”

Lin Su didn't even look at Zhou Shuxian, and immediately stepped forward to help Si Yue, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you want to mourn." ”

Her words seemed to remind the women present, and the room burst into tears.

Si Yue glanced at these women with annoyance, and then took Lin Su's hand and walked towards the inner hall. Zhou Shuxian fell behind, her eyes turned red with hatred, and she said coldly after half a sound: "What are you crying about!" Why don't you hurry up and go to see the Queen Mother......"

She said and followed, but Lin Su listened to her words, suddenly stopped, and turned back and said: "It's okay for the others, Concubine Wei Chen has the dragon heir in her arms after all, so it's better to avoid taboos and don't go in." ”

Si Yue heard her words and nodded, "You still think clearly." As he spoke, his cold gaze fell on Zhou Shuxian's body for the first time. Zhou Shuxian trembled slightly, and then lowered her head.

Everyone entered the queen mother's bedroom, where there were already palace maids sorting out the queen mother's remains, and a group of imperial doctors knelt beside the bed.

"Before the Queen Mother died, did she wake up?" Si Yue stood at the head of the bed and looked down at the slightly distorted face of the Empress Dowager Lan, "The Empress Dowager went, but is it painful?" ”

Several imperial doctors glanced at each other, and finally Zhang Yuan from the imperial hospital stepped forward to reply to Si Yue's words.

"The Queen Mother went in a coma, so it wasn't considered pain. It's just that the ministers are incompetent...... "All the imperial doctors follow and kowtow."

Si Yue looked up, as if to stabilize his emotions, "Okay, you all quit." He said calmly: "I want to talk to the Queen Mother...... The imperial concubine stayed. ”

Lin Su, who was about to leave, paused slightly when he heard this, and then bowed to Zhou Shuxian and returned to Si Yue's side.

In an instant, there were only two people left in the room, Si Yue and Lin Su, and the body of the Queen Mother, who was still warm, was lying on the bed, and Lin Su didn't even dare to look in that direction.

Si Yue slowly walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, looked at the calm Queen Mother who looked like she had been cleaned up by the palace maid, and said in a low voice: "You have raised me, and I remember your nurturing grace." It's just that glory and wealth can't make you satisfied? You're hell-bent on controlling me! I am the emperor, the king of a country! This palace, including outside the palace, there should be no one above me! ”

Lin Su stood silently behind Si Yue, understanding that she didn't need to say anything at this time. Si Yue just wanted someone to be by his side and understand what he was doing.

When Si Yue's mood completely stabilized and he got up with Lin Su's hand, Lin Su hesitated to speak.

"The cause of the queen mother's death, the imperial doctor seems to have some different opinions, will the emperor let it go, or will he ......?"

She paused slightly, and looked at Si Yue with a pair of eyes as soft as water, "Your Majesty, no matter what, the concubine hopes that you can ...... It's not the emperor's fault. ”

Si Yue took Lin Su's hand and asked her to sit down.

"You say, you don't need to call the Imperial Doctor Feng in anymore. I believe in you. He patted Lin Su's arm gently, "Over the years, only you know me best, and in the harem, I am also the most at ease with you." ”

Lin Su's heart trembled slightly, and he was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "When the concubine came in before, the imperial doctor Feng once secretly showed the concubine a silver needle, which was his special silver needle, and it was said to have been soaked in medicinal herbs. And because the silver needle was used by the Queen Mother before, the tip of the needle was already cyan. ”

Si Yue's hand tightened suddenly, and then looked up at Lin Su: "You mean, the Queen Mother was poisoned?!" ”

"The concubine had wondered before why the queen mother's illness would be volatile, does the emperor still remember?" Lin Su said softly, trying to appease Si Yue's emotions, "If the emperor wants to investigate carefully, the concubines think there will always be some clues...... It's just that the emperor punished Jiang Cai'er before, if it's a noble person......"

"There must not be such a ruthless person in the harem, otherwise, how will I sleep peacefully in the future?" Si Yue's expression suddenly turned cold, he let go of Lin Su's hand and stood up, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly paused, "I know this matter in my heart...... Don't alarm Zhou Shude yet. ”

Lin Su responded in a low voice, and when she heard Si Yue directly mention Zhou Shude's name, she knew that Si Yue must have put all the responsibility for Empress Dowager Lan's death on the other party. In this way, Si Yue's burden can be reduced, after all, Empress Dowager Lan is his adoptive mother......

She got the bet right again this time.

Lin Su closed his eyes and took a deep breath, not looking at the lifeless corpse behind him and following Si Yue out.

Empress Dowager Lan's funeral was solemn and long, and she was moved into the imperial mausoleum after being suspended in the harem for 7749 days. And the night before the Queen Mother entered the imperial mausoleum, Si Yue made a decision that surprised the entire harem.

"Since the Queen Mother has always been served by the Empress Dowager before, then I have promoted the De Gui to be the Concubine De, you go out of the palace to guard the tomb for the Empress Dowager."

Zhou Shude was stunned on the spot, all the women in the harem, except for Empress Dowager Zhao and Concubine Wei Chen, were all guarding her in the Empress Dowager Lan's bedroom, and now when they heard Si Yue say this, everyone woke up in shock, secretly exchanging glances, guessing the meaning of Si Yue's words.

"Emperor, Emperor?" Zhou Shude knelt on the ground and crawled forward, "What did the concubine and concubine do wrong?" ”

"De Guiren, ah no, now I should be called Concubine De Niangniang. The emperor has promoted your rank again and again, how can it be because you have done something wrong? Zhou Shuxian on the side sneered, "It must be because you serve the Queen Mother, and you serve very well, and the emperor is worried that the Queen Mother will be missing you as a caring person to serve ......."

When Zhou Shude heard her say this, her face immediately turned pale.

"Taking care of the Queen Mother is what a concubine should do, but guarding the tomb for the Queen Mother ......"

"This is my gift, Concubine De only needs to receive the order to thank her, and then pack her things, and go to the imperial tomb with the funeral procession tomorrow." Si Yue said stiffly, looking down at Zhou Shude coldly: "Or do you want to resist the will and disrespect?" ”

Zhou Shude looked up at Si Yue in disbelief, slowly lowered his head and slid his gaze over all the women present little by little, Lin Su looked at all this coldly and did not make a sound.

Eventually, she bowed her head weakly.

"Concubine Xie Emperor Longen."
