Chapter 348: A Secret Hidden Deep in the Empress's Heart
Hua Yueman and Shen Shengxian just felt strange in private, but neither of them had ever experienced such a thing, and no one dared to be sure of anything.
But soon, some people questioned that those civil and military officials kneeling on the ground, some of them were veterans of the Three Dynasties, and some had never eaten pork, but they had seen pigs run, and they were naturally suspicious of such an edict.
"Why did the emperor only explain the matter of the crown prince's accession to the throne?"
"Why didn't the concubines and auxiliary officials who were buried write them down one by one?"
The queen is the queen, in the face of everyone's doubts, she took a heavy step forward, and before she could speak, tears flowed.
After sobbing for a long time, he snorted and said: "The emperor's illness came especially suddenly, not only did the palace not expect, but even the emperor himself never thought that after all, the palace is a woman's family, and he is young and does not understand all kinds of rights and wrongs, if it were not for the queen mother's reminder, the emperor may not even leave the brief edict just now." ”
Although after talking about the prince's accession to the throne, the emperor wanted to say other things, but his illness suddenly worsened, resulting in no other energy, and in the end, the emperor handed over the rest of the affairs to the palace to take care of. ”
In this way, although there are many doubts, there is a certificate from the queen mother just now, and now there are two prime ministers who have acquiesced, even if the officials below want to refute, they can't find the words.
The queen paused and said: "The palace is just a woman's house, and the affairs of the harem can still be handled, but the affairs of the government and the opposition are ...... Why don't you wait for the prince to come back and discuss the affairs of the government and the opposition, do you think it's good for the ministers to do this?"
The queen's words blocked the mouths of those ministers seamlessly, she didn't ask about the affairs of the government and the opposition, and waited for Liu Mo to come back, if these ministers dared to make a mistake, it would be disrespectful to the future emperor.
Who has lived enough and wants to die? will be the enemy of Liu Mo at this time?
Seeing that there was finally no sound below, the queen instructed the chief manager of Ouchi beside her: "Estimating the distance, the prince has not yet arrived at the border pass, so he sent someone to chase after him overnight and inform the prince to return to pray for heaven." ”
"Yes. ”
What should be said has been said, and what should be decided has been decided, and this person should be dispersed.
After the queen and the officials left one after another, Hua Yueman and Shen Shengwen slowly stood up with each other, and walked out of the outer hall of the Dragon Yin Hall step by step with those concubines.
A figure, hurriedly coming, contrary to all the people who left the Dragon Yin Palace, Hua Yueman rubbed his sore legs, while wondering who was so careless, and only came after the edict was announced, only to hear a familiar voice, slipping out of the figure's mouth.
"Brother and sister. ”
I'm going to ......
Hua Yueman was speechless, the third prince, you really lived up to expectations, and you couldn't catch up with the hot.
Liu Yu seemed to be in a hurry, his hair was not combed, his face was not washed, and the feces in his eyes were still pasted on the corners of his eyes: "Brother and sister, how is my father?"
Although he is a wreck, the one who died is his father after all, and if it is too cruel, Hua Yueman doesn't want to say it.
Shen Shengxuan saw the unbearable nature of the full moon, and sighed: "Third prince, you mourn ...... festival"
Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, his confused and empty eyes looked at Hua Yueman and Shen Shengxia, and looked straight at the Dragon Yin Hall towering in the night.
He didn't say anything, he didn't shed a single tear, he just looked at the Dragon Yin Hall silently for a long time before he withdrew his gaze, nodded at Shen Shengxiao and Hua Yueman, and suddenly turned to leave.
Such Liu Yu was beyond Hua Yue's satisfaction, she didn't expect that when Liu Yu was sad, it would be so quiet.
"Do you want to comfort him?" Shen Shengxuan sighed worriedly.
"No, what he might really need is quiet. Hua Yueman shook her head and pulled Shen Shengxiao slowly in the direction of Weiyang Palace.
Everyone expresses grief in different ways, and we can't resolve them one by one, so all we can do is understand......
After Qiqiao left from Shen Shengxiao, he had been guarding the door of Weiyang Palace, and his little face was anxious and he was about to twist his jaw into a bun.
Suddenly saw two figures, walked over slowly, she was happy in her heart, and hurriedly ran over, when she saw clearly that the person who came back was really full of flowers, she took a deep breath, and then ...... And he cried.
"——! Wow——!"
Shen Shengxuan smiled helplessly: "You palace maid is really chic." ”
Hua Yueman shrugged: "It's good to get used to it." ”
She said, stretching out her hand to wipe the tears on Qiqiao's face, and pulling her to the dormitory: "Okay, don't cry, isn't your mother back?"
Qiqiao nodded, obviously happy to see that Hua Yue was back, but the tears couldn't stop falling, but when they fell, she felt that something was wrong.
"Mother, Qingzhu?"
Qiqiao's question made Shen Shengqian also stunned, yes, Qiqiao said that Hua Yueman went out with Qingzhu, but she never saw Qingzhu.
Hua Yueman smiled and touched her head: "Qingzhu was arranged by me to go to other places, and he will not come back in the future." ”
Shen Shengxian is so smart, when he heard this, he knew that there must be a mistake in it, but seeing that Hua Yueman didn't plan to elaborate, he didn't want to ask more.
It's Qiqiao, blinking a pair of big red eyes: "Niangniang, where did you arrange Qingzhu to go? Otherwise, the slave maid will go for her and let her come back." ”
"You want to go?"
"No, it's not...... The slave maid just thinks that the mother prefers green bamboo. ”
Hua Yueman was stunned for a moment, it turned out that no matter how simple a person was, she still had feelings for certain things, and it seemed that her deliberate estrangement made the girl Qiqiao uncomfortable for a long time.
"Qiqiao, some people laugh, it doesn't mean that she is happy, some people cry, it doesn't mean that she is really sad, the same, I alienate you...... It doesn't mean I just don't like you anymore, you know?"
"I don't understand ......"
Hua Yueman nodded, she knew that this girl didn't understand: "Okay, then let's change the routine, I said that I will treat you like before in the future, do you understand?"
Qiqiao nodded: "Understood." ”
Hua Yueman said again: "I said that I actually like you all the time, do you understand?"
Qiqiao nodded again: "Understood." ”
"Good. Hua Yueman touched her head, "Then I'm hungry now, you go and prepare dinner, Concubine Shen will also stay for dinner, prepare more, by the way...... Ask someone to bring me back the pork belly. ”
Qiqiao smiled: "Okay, the slave will go." Then he turned and ran away merrily.
Hua Yueman smiled helplessly, and didn't know when this simple child would be able to really grow up, turned around, and saw that Shen Shengxian was looking at herself with a bodhisattva's gaze, she reached out and touched her face.
"What? I'm back to the light?"
Shen Shengxuan immediately came back to his senses: "Bah, bah!" He glared angrily, and then said slowly, "Maybe in this palace, you are the only one who treats the minions as a person." ”
Hua Yueman smiled and shook her head: "It's not about being people, it's about friends, because they are originally people." ”
......
Yonggu Palace.
The candlelight flickered in the inner hall, and the queen was sitting behind her desk, carrying a pen and writing seriously.
The two prime ministers stood opposite each other, not daring to come out.
After a period of pen and ink posture, the queen handed the two pieces of rice paper to the two prime ministers, and then put down the brush and leaned lazily on the back of the chair.
The two prime ministers looked at each other first, then at what they had in their hands, and when they read the names of the people one after another on the black and white pages, the sweat flowed.
"Queen Mother, this ......"
It's not that the two of them want to refute, but the list of those buried concubines written on this rice paper, many of them are unfavored and can be sent out of the palace.
The queen's soft voice sank at this moment: "It's really not favored, and the palace didn't say it, as long as it is written, it must be buried with it." ”
The two prime ministers faced such an inscrutable queen, and they were embarrassed: "What does the queen mean......"
The queen smiled leisurely: "There is no need to explain this to the two of you, you only need to send this list to the Internal Affairs Office, and the rest of the things will be handled by the palace, and if there are people who are not satisfied with this arrangement, they can come to the palace at any time." ”
The two prime ministers nodded and put the rice paper into their arms, but then as if they thought of something, they dared to speak again: "Then the newly canonized officials?
The queen raised her eyebrows, and her charming eyes burst out with fierceness: "The two prime ministers are inevitably too much, you two can rest assured, this palace will do things in a measured way, and the two of you only need to assist the arrangements of the palace wholeheartedly, and the palace will not treat your wife and children who are imprisoned somewhere." ”
The two prime ministers nodded, didn't dare to say more, turned around and walked out of the Yonggu Palace.
The inner room fell silent for a moment.
The queen leaned back in her chair and slowly raised her cheeks, closing her eyes and resting.
Immortality is the expectation of every emperor, so every palace will have a secret alchemist who specializes in developing elixir for the emperor.
It is a good thing to seek immortality wholeheartedly, but the emperor ignored it, maybe the elixir of life he ate was simply a poison that was slowly devouring his life.
In fact, she didn't plan to do it so soon, but it happened that at this time, the border was in turmoil, the prince left the palace, and as long as the emperor died, she would be more than half sure of presiding over the government.
Thinking of this, the queen slowly opened her eyes again, took out a black Xiaoyao Pill from her sleeve, put it in front of her nose and sniffed it gently.
I didn't expect the medicinal properties of this medicine to be so strong, she just told the chief of Ouchi to increase the amount of medicine for the emperor by one day, and the emperor finally didn't see the sun of Ming'er.
Is she ruthless?
She admits that because if you want to have this world, ruthlessness is the only way to go.
Suddenly, the queen looked at the slightly flickering candlelight, her charming gaze became empty and gentle, and the red lips, which always picked up a cold smile, trembled uncontrollably at this moment.
"Qing Zhi...... I've finally avenged you, are you happy?" Two lines of tears silently crossed the queen's cheeks, coming fast and drying fast.
When Jin Feng walked into the dormitory, the queen had already returned to her original cold and noble appearance, as if nothing had happened just now......
The queen glanced at Jin Feng, and then beckoned Jin Feng to come closer to her: "Jin Feng, come here." ”
Jin Feng was stunned for a moment, then carefully stood beside the queen, squatting down and turning his cheeks sideways.
The queen whispered softly into Jin Feng's ear: "Tomorrow you will be the crown princess...... Then, then someone was sent to ...... Don't forget ......"
Jin Feng's eyes gradually widened with the queen's words, and finally frowned in surprise: "Queen Mother, that person is the crown prince, your ......"
There had never been such a strong disgust in the queen's eyes: "He is just a seed." ”
Jin Feng didn't understand: "Queen Mother, you are really ruthless......"
"Jin Feng. The queen interrupted coldly, raising her eyebrows, "Are you questioning the palace?" or are you going to refute the palace?"
Jin Feng looked at the queen in a daze for a long time, and finally slowly lowered her cheeks: "The subordinates don't dare." ”
"Since you don't dare, you will do as the palace tells you. ”
"Yes, my subordinates obey. ”
