Countdown to the 226 finale
Chapter 267
After returning from the Ming Palace, Lin Wan never slept again, looking at the heavy snow outside, thinking about her husband who was still kneeling outside the Zhengyang Palace, and lost sleep all night. It's time to come or come, but you don't want to be an enemy of anyone, but you've long been a thorn in someone's side.
What about mothers and sons? What about brothers? In the face of imperial power, there is no blood kinship to talk about.
Early the next morning, Lin Wan thought in his heart that it should be five watches, so he hurriedly got up and changed his clothes. I called the painting hall in, sorted it out a little, and drove the carriage into the palace. Although Princess Ming is right, since His Majesty also has the intention to punish King Jin, then even if she enters the palace at this moment, it will be useless.
But she couldn't do it, she really couldn't do it. How could she do it when she saw her beloved suffering in the snow, but hiding in a warm room? If she wanted to suffer and suffer, she would accompany him, even if the road was stained with blood, she would take him by the hand and go forward together.
She's already a dead person, so what else is she afraid of? The worst, but just one death.
Holding the dark color coat tightly in his hand, Lin Wan remembered what Princess Ming said to herself last night, if you want to deal with the prince, you must first deal with the queen. As long as the queen is abolished and gone, the crown prince will be like losing an arm. Princess Ming was right, but now that I think about it, all of this is the queen's fault.
Zidu is her own flesh and blood in the end, how can she hate it so much, she really wants to put another son to death for the sake of her other son's spacious future. The queen is eccentric, too eccentric. Since she is unkind and has already begun to plan to deal with the Jin Palace, then, if there is no plan to act at this moment, she can really only be a lamb to be slaughtered.
The carriage soon entered the palace, and Lin Wan strode towards Zhengyang Palace.
It was already dawn, the snow was still falling, and the snow was almost blinding. Before he got out of the carriage, Lin Wan felt the cold, and thought, Zidu's body has not been cleared of the residual poison, but he still has to suffer such a crime, how can he stand it?
Zhao Yong really knelt outside Zhengyang Palace all night, and when Lin Wan rushed to the outside of Zhengyang Palace, where did he still see her husband's figure, there was only one snowman. Lin Wan immediately cried, the snow was too thick, she ran fast, she wrestled, she stumbled all the way to her husband's side, picked off the snow covering him with her hands, and then warmed him with her own hands, rubbed his face vigorously with her own hands, until he slowly opened his eyes, Lin Wan was relieved.
Then he cried out loud, hugged the man's whole body, and lay on his shoulder to cry.
She really hated it in her heart, and at this moment, she had the heart to poison the queen with โกโก. She didn't understand why there was such an eccentric mother in this world. It was her father Lin Chengyin, no matter how much he favored Lin Yue's brothers and sisters, he couldn't do this kind of thing to see his own flesh and blood being frozen to death in the snow.
"Why are you here?" Zhao Yong had no strength, but he just felt the warmth, and then he woke up.
Lin Wan didn't speak, just put the thick coat on him, and then took out a hot soup woman from his wide sleeve. Stuffed the soup woman into his hand and let him hug him tightly, then he raised his eyes and looked at him and said, "The children are waiting for their father to come home, and they can't wait all night, so let my mother come and find them." โ
Zhao Yong didn't speak, only raised his hand and gently hugged his wife, and said in her ear: "You go back and tell the children that their father will definitely be able to hold on." You go back, too, right away. โ
"Do you think you can control me?" Lin Wan said to her husband, "If you can't go back today, I won't go back." โ
"Now is not the time for you to be strong...... Zhao Yong was also anxious, and said with a cold face, "It's so cold outside, my body is good and I can hold it." But you can't, how can you survive?"
"If the son can endure it, I can endure it. Lin Wan didn't listen, she only insisted on kneeling beside her husband and said next to him, "I want to see if I want to freeze my own son to death like this when I am the queen of the dynasty." When the king of the Jin Dynasty did not die on the battlefield, but knelt and died outside the palace gate of his mother, which was really a joke of the world. โ

Empress Cao had a good night's sleep, and when she woke up, it was already dawn outside.
Mama Ming, who was waiting in front of her, stepped forward, and while waiting for the queen to freshen up and change her clothes, she said: "Niangniang, Princess Jin came here in the morning, and she didn't say that she came to greet Niangniang, but she ...... At this moment, he knelt outside the palace gate with King Jin. Also, Hao Guifei came to greet her mother early in the morning, and she was waiting outside this time. โ
Yesterday, His Majesty severely punished King Jin, which really gave him enough face, and Queen Cao was relieved, so she was in a much better mood.
"Princess Jin wanted to kneel, so she let her kneel and didn't have to worry about her. As for Hao Guifei...... She has always been close to the King of Jin and his wife, this time she got up early to ask for peace, I don't think there is any kindness, you go and tell her, just say that the palace is not safe, and today's morning and dusk will be exempted. Empress Cao got up, sat in front of the window, saw that there was still heavy snow outside, and sighed, "It's Chinese New Year's Eve in a few days, and another year has passed." โ
"Yes, the queen has been working hard these days, isn't she just preparing for the Chinese New Year's Eve feast." Mother Ming smiled and said, "This year is different, now the four seas are peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the three kings have been cursed, the barbarians of the four seas have also returned to Dayan, Your Majesty is happy, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve feast will definitely be more wonderful than in previous years." โ
"Where is the three kings executed, isn't there still a Ming king alive?" King Ming is not only alive and well, but also the title of the king of the county, and that Qin Fu'er is also the princess of Mingjun, according to His Majesty's temperament, should he not tolerate the king of Ming to come here, I think most of it is for the sake of Princess Ming's face.
At this moment, His Majesty still doesn't know why Qin Fu'er married King Ming in the first place, he only thinks that Qin Fu'er lost him, if he knows that all this is Empress Liu who used his life to blackmail Qin Fu'er, I'm afraid it is...... Thinking of this, Empress Cao became more and more worried, and always felt that if Her Majesty knew the real reason why Qin Fu'er married King Ming back then, I was afraid that her future position would not be guaranteed.
According to His Majesty's feelings for Qin Fu'er, and according to his ruthlessness, if he can't keep it, he will do things that are against human ethics.
"Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Mama Ming on the side saw that Empress Cao's expression was wrong, and said worriedly, "If Niangniang feels uncomfortable, let's go and rest." โ
"There is nothing to do in this palace. Empress Cao waved her hand.
The maid outside hurriedly ran in, knelt down and said, "Niangniang, the queen mother...... The Queen Mother was outside the palace this time, standing with King Jin and Princess Jin. โ
Empress Cao got up, wrung her hands vigorously, and said angrily: "The Queen Mother is really eccentric King Jin!"
Mama Ming turned her head to look at Empress Cao, only bowed her head and did not speak.
The Queen Mother and the King of Jin and his wife stood together in the snow, and the matter reached the Qinzheng Palace, Zhao Gan couldn't sit still, and hurriedly rushed to Zhengyang Palace. Seeing that the old man was already drenched with a thick layer of snow, he hurriedly reprimanded the maids and maids on the left and right: "How do you all serve the Queen Mother? If you hurt the Queen Mother's body, you will be destroyed!"
Those little girls were originally kneeling on the ground, and after hearing His Majesty's reprimand, they buried their heads even lower.
Empress Dowager Zhuang said with a smile: "Your Majesty is finally willing to see the mourning family this time? The mourning family is an old bone, and it won't live long if it dies, so it's no wonder that others." The mourning family has been with Emperor Taizu for so many years, and for Empress Liu to hold it in his hands for so many years, the mourning family can't die, this time it's just drenched in snow, and they won't live long?
Zhao Gan saw that the Queen Mother's words were really serious, so he hurriedly knelt down in front of the Queen Mother and said: "The son is not filial! โ
"It's okay if you want the mourning family to go back, but the mourning family wants this child to accompany the mourning family back to the Yongshou Palace. Empress Dowager Zhuang said, "Princess Jin is a doctor who understands medical skills, I think that at the beginning, Empress Liu of the mourning family was treacherous, and she was highly poisoned in her body, and she didn't live long when she saw it, but Princess Jin saved the mourning family regardless of her life." If there was no child like Princess Jin at the beginning, where would Your Majesty come from now?"
"Yes, Erchen understands. Zhao Qian hurriedly said, "King Jin's punishment is enough, and the son will exempt him from punishment, and let King Jin and his wife accompany their mother back to the Yongshou Palace." โ
"What did the queen say?" Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at Empress Cao who had also knelt down with a slight smile, "Zidu is the queen of the dynasty who is thousands of delicate and noble, the queen mother does not speak, how dare the mourning family take someone away?"
"The queen mother! The queen mother has tormented her sons, since Your Majesty has been exempted from the punishment of King Jin, your sons should listen to Your Majesty. Empress Cao only lowered her head, but her hands were tightly twisted together, and said, "The queen mother will take King Jin and his wife back to the Yongshou Palace." โ
"That's good, since Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have opened Chrysostom, the mourning family will dare to take people away. Now the whole world is the world of your husband and wife, the mourning family is an outsider, and the grandchildren of the mourning family are not your own children, they are outsiders. If the queen doesn't like it, she can tell Her Majesty directly, and she doesn't have to bother to calculate her son. You think you're smart, that's just that you're stupid, Your Majesty is fooling you with you, and that's just because you're the queen. Think about it yourself, if you dare to provoke the two grandchildren of the mourning family as enemies behind your back, don't blame the mourning family for being unkind to you!"
After that, Empress Dowager Zhuang threw down her sleeves fiercely and only personally helped King Jin and his wife up.
It wasn't until the Queen Mother left that Zhao Gan got up, and then didn't say a word to Queen Cao, just strode away.
The concubines who were supposed to be standing outside Zhengyang Palace were embarrassed when they saw this, but when they saw that His Majesty snubbed the queen, they all quietly dispersed. While dispersing, they were discussing, the old man of the Queen Mother was talking really seriously today, and I thought that she was becoming more and more unwilling to see the queen.
And the queen was not favored by His Majesty, but Zuo only relied on having two sons, which stabilized her position.
If the king of Jin and the queen are enemies this time, the queen will only be the crown prince...... Besides, the crown prince is just a prince, and His Majesty is now in his prime, who knows what the future holds.

The husband and wife sat in the Yongshou Hall for a while, and only after the body temperature returned to normal before leaving the palace in a carriage.
At this point, the snow has stopped, and gradually, the sun is coming out. In the Jin Palace, Chaoyang was sitting at the table with his younger brothers and sisters waiting for his father and mother to come home. The aunt of the painting hall said that the mother went to the palace to pick up her father, if there is no accident, she can rush back to have lunch at noon, but it is already noon, why don't you see your father and mother go home?
Jiaoyang is young and doesn't know a lot, seeing that the table is full of fragrant dumplings made yesterday, she has been staring at the steaming dumplings, sucking the corners of her mouth from time to time, and then shaking her head to look outside, babbling: "Daddy is back, my mother is back, eat dumplings." โ
Jiaoyang just read a sentence, and sure enough, a girl outside ran back and said, "The prince and the princess are back." โ
Chaoyang was happy, hugged his sister and kissed him, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the sun is still strong, my sister has been talking for so long, and I haven't seen my father and mother go home. โ
The sun clapped happily, then shook his body to get out.
Shaoguang hugged the sun and said, "Girl, it's cold outside, let's wait inside, okay?"
Before the words fell, the king of Jin and the princess had already entered the door, and the three children saw it and immediately rushed over.
Zhao Yong saw the little girl's meat-like body staggering towards him, he bent down and hugged it in his arms, turned it upside down, and asked with a smile: "What is the sun doing at home?"
"Dumpling ......" Jiaoyang turned around, raised his chubby little finger and pointed at the steaming dumplings on the table, "Father, you eat, it's Jiaoyang's wrapping...... Delicious. โ
Zhao Yong glanced at his wife, the smile in his dark eyes deepened, and he only sat down while holding his daughter, and then buried his head in eating it.
He loves dumplings the most because they have the taste of home......

Soon it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and His Majesty set up a feast in the palace, and all the relatives of the emperor and the state entered the palace to ask for peace. His Majesty even made an exception this year, and specially ordered several important ministers of the DPRK and China to bring their families into the palace this year. The Chinese New Year's Eve feast, which was planned by the fourth concubine with the help of the empress, was held in the Liuli Palace, and all the song and dance performances were carefully prepared, and the pomp was very large.
Princess Qin of the Ming Dynasty has always liked to be quiet, but she doesn't like this lively scene very much. After staying in the palace for a while, Princess Ming turned sideways and said a few words to her husband, and quietly turned around and went out with her personal servant. The hall was lively, and the place where Princess Ming sat was also relatively remote, so no one cared when she left.
Zhao Qian sat on a high position, and he should have seen it clearly, and he wanted to know every move of Princess Ming. Therefore, when Princess Ming left, who she talked to when she left, and even what her expression was, he could see it clearly.
At first, he didn't care, but after sitting for a while, seeing that she hadn't come back yet, Zhao Qian couldn't sit still.
turned his head and said to the Queen Mother, and left his seat.
Empress Cao sat beside His Majesty, but when she saw Her Majesty leaving her seat, she instinctively felt that she had not arranged these songs and dances well. When she turned her head and saw that Princess Ming was not there, she chuckled in her heart, and then became a little flustered. 166 Reading Network
