I picked up the edict, and saw that it was clearly written:

Since I ascended the throne, I have no square radius in the community, and I have no size to treat the people. Today, the people in the south of the Yangtze River are undecided, the war in the north is continuous, all of them are my faults, although I am mediocre, dark in the avenue, forever reverent, for a long time, dare to forget the high righteousness of the generations, people only wish. Now abdicate and return to the court, inferior to the other palace, issued this edict, in order to show the world.

The further I looked, the tighter my brow tightened, and by the time I saw the last few words, the center of my brow had already twisted into a pimple.

Of course, this edict could not have been written by Pei Yuanhao, and it could be seen at a glance that it was Shen Gongyi's tone. But when I saw the end, I was very puzzled, and I looked at it again, and the doubts in my heart, or uneasiness, became more and more serious.

In this edict, there was only Pei Yuanhao's "abdication", but no other arrangements were made.

In all dynasties, the emperor's abdication edict, in fact, is not "retire", but the arrangement after the abdication, after all, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, so the abdication edict can be said to be more important, or the Zen edict, but the edict he drafted for Pei Yuanhao really did not pass on the throne to Pei Nianyun!

Odd!

He has arranged it for so long, but the abdication edict has nothing to do with him, how is this possible?

Thinking of this, I slowly raised my head from the bright yellow brocade and looked at Shen Gongyi, who was standing next to me with a sneering smile on his face—what did he mean?

At this time, he slowly took the edict from my hand and presented it to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother." ”

"......" The Queen Mother still lowered her eyelids, as if she hadn't seen anything.

I couldn't help but sweat in my heart.

Although the Queen Mother is above 10,000 people under one person in the Celestial Empire, she is just a Queen Mother with no real power, and now this situation has been controlled by Shen Gong, in case he is forced to be anxious......

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but walk over and gently grabbed the arm of the Queen Mother.

She seemed to be much calmer than my anxiety and anxiety, and only patted the back of my hand gently, as if telling me "don't be afraid".

I don't know what kind of state of mind it takes for her to be so indifferent in the face of such a situation.

And Shen Gongyi, a little unexpected to me, was not angered by the Queen Mother's attitude, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he put the edict aside with a smile, and walked over and said: "The Queen Mother really loves the emperor. ”

“……”

"It's a pity that the emperor is not so dedicated to the Queen Mother."

“……”

As soon as I heard this, I sighed in my heart: "Mrs. Shen, what do you mean by this?" ”

Shen Gongzhu ignored me, and only smiled: "Queen Mother, if the emperor is really filial to your old man, how can he leave you in the Linshui Pagoda, regardless of it." ”

I heard that the words were wrong, and just as I was about to speak, Shen Gongyi had already said: "In this world, in the end, it is necessary to be connected by blood in order for mother and son to connect hearts." ”

“……！”

As soon as these words came out, I felt the Queen Mother's body tremble.

She still didn't open her eyes, but I could clearly see that her eyelashes were trembling, and her lips were trembling slightly, as if a sharp thorn had been pierced in her heart, and the pain made her whole body spasm, but she always suppressed herself not to show her appearance, not to show weakness.

Seeing her like this, I couldn't help but grab her arm.

Shen Gongyi kept saying: "Queen Mother, you naturally care for the emperor, but what about the emperor?" Weichen has already told you before, in the first battle of Dongzhou, that person was seriously injured in order to relieve the siege of Dongzhou, and later in order to save Lord Yue, he and Yang Yunhui went deep into Shengjing alone, and fought to Tianzi Peak, but the reinforcements promised by the emperor were not sent at all, resulting in the defeat and capture of the two of them. Is this just a crime of war? ”

“……”

“……”

The Queen Mother and I were speechless, she grabbed my hand hard, and I grabbed hers hard, I could feel her heartbeat hitting my chest again and again, and my heartbeat was getting more and more painful every time.

In the original battle, I only saw the embers of the battlefield when I left Tianzi Peak, and I could guess one or two, but now from Shen Gongyi's mouth, I really know what happened at the beginning.

And I still clearly remember that Huang Tianba took me out of Shengjing with the help of the medicinal power of half a pill, and finally stayed at the peak of the Son of Heaven on that night, he once said that his true identity may have been known, and now, I understand what his identity is, what he said, what does it mean.

His fall is not a crime of war!

But someone, knowing his identity, wants to get rid of him!

It's just that with his status, status and strength, it is definitely not easy to kill him, so at that time, Pei Yuanhao had already transferred him out of Jiangnan and went to Beijing to report on his work, just to facilitate the control of him; But he didn't expect the Dongzhou war together, in order to deal with Luoshi, Huang Tianba was injured and rushed to Dongzhou, after lifting the siege of Dongzhou, he was a big hero in the eyes of the people, so naturally he couldn't do anything to him.

Therefore, if you can't kill him, you can only use war to erase him from the land of the Central Plains!

Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth and slowly turned my head to look at the person lying on the bed.

The atmosphere around him was so tense, but he still lay calmly on the bed, and his face was not moved except for a sickly, faint blush.

As every time I have been, when I have fallen at his feet and begged him to allow me to leave the palace; When I lost my child and wanted to cut him off; When I was locked up in the cold and struggled in pain...... He was always calm and watched my pain.

He is the person who stands tall, watching everyone's heart ache and pain, manipulating everyone's life and death, but no point can enter his heart.

Thinking of this, I bit my lower lip hard to suppress the tears welling up in my eyes.

At this time, Shen Gongyun had already walked in front of us, looked at my red eyes, and the pale face of the Queen Mother, and sneered: "Queen Mother, now that person's situation in Shengjing, your old man already knows." ”

“……”

"Do you think it is possible for Katsukyo to set him free, or will this emperor send troops to save him?"

“……”

"The man you are connected to by blood is living in the most despicable way in this world, but you are helping the person who framed him."

“……”

"Is this what the Buddhist scriptures say, good and evil, cause and effect?"

The more he spoke, the paler the Queen Mother's face became, and when the last few words were spoken, the Queen Mother seemed to have been taken out of something, and the whole person was unstable on her feet, and she suddenly fell on the bed.

I hurriedly stretched out my hand to protect her: "Queen Mother! ”

She sat there, not saying a word, only her pale and bloodless lips trembling slightly.

Shen Gongyi stood in front of us, like a victorious person, looked at us condescendingly, and said: "Actually, if you really talk about this matter, I am afraid that the old minister will not even need this abdication edict and jade seal. ”

“……”

"Since your flesh and blood are in Shengjing, then this one—" he said, turning his head to look at the bed, his eyes shining with a cruel light: "Naturally, it's nothing!" ”

My heart shuddered, and I looked up at him.

No wonder...... No wonder his edict did not pass on the throne to Pei Nianyun.

It turned out that he had already calculated that if the Queen Mother refused to take out the seal, then he simply made the Queen Mother's secret public. Since Huang Tianba is the biological son of the Queen Mother, then the person in front of him, he will naturally say that he is not the orthodox bloodline of the royal family.

And in this way, his children, of course, are not!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but grit my teeth - Shen Gongzhu, the old fox, really planned it well.

It's no wonder that this is an edict of abdication, not an edict of succession, if the secret of the Queen Mother is really made public to the world, not only Pei Nianyun, but even Nianshen's identity is empty, in this way, how can he control this situation?

I was distracted for a moment.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and someone whispered outside the tent: "Master Taifu." ”

Shen Gonghan turned his head to take a look, but it was Liu Qinghan who walked over and opened the curtain, only to see that several soldiers and attendants outside saw him, they all saluted and whispered something to him, Liu Qinghan nodded, put down the tent and walked in, and said to Shen Gongyun: "Master Taifu, tomorrow's matter has been arranged." ”

"Good, good."

When I heard this, my eyebrows twisted again.

Tomorrow's Event? What's up?

As if seeing through what I was thinking, Shen Gongyi slowly leaned down, looked at the Queen Mother and my eyes, and said with a faint smile: "Queen Mother, Lord Yue." Because the emperor has been seriously ill and has not recovered for a long time, the old minister has summoned the civil and military officials who accompanied him this time to discuss major matters outside the account tomorrow. ”

Discussing big things? When I heard these four words, my heart sank.

Of course, I understand that what he wants to discuss is a major matter, the edict has been issued, the situation has been controlled, and for him, the major matter has been decided.

With the smile of "the general trend has been decided", Shen Gongyi said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, tomorrow's edict will be issued?" Not awarded? It's all up to the Queen Mother. ”

“……”

"Look at the Queen Mother, think twice."

“……”

"The old minister retired."

After speaking, he straightened up again, leaned over at the Queen Mother, and then turned around and walked out, and when he walked to the door, Liu Qinghan glanced at him and looked back at me.

I gritted my teeth and met his gaze.

The slap just now, my palm is still a little hot and painful, and his dark face still has some redness and swelling, at this moment I can't tell what kind of mood I look at him, only the pain is distinct, every bit and every drop, spread in the body.

After being silent for a long time, he nodded at me lightly, glanced at the Queen Mother again, turned around and walked out.

As soon as the curtain was lowered, silence fell into the tent.

Deathly silence.

I turned my head and looked at the Queen Mother, who had been sitting on the edge of the bed.

Shen Gongyi's words already understood very well that if the Queen Mother obeyed and took out the jade seal, Pei Yuanhao would abdicate by edict; If the Queen Mother is not obedient, Shen Gongyi will make the matter of changing children in the harem public, and the name of Huang Tianba's life will be ruined, and Pei Yuanhao is afraid that he will also be impeached by hundreds of officials because of his bloodline.

Queen Mother, what will she do?
