The ninth year of Hecheng began in a sudden event.

The queen is dead.

According to the records of the eunuchs in charge of the palace at the time, in the last hour of the eighth year of Hecheng, the queen died without warning in her Weiyang Palace.

That night, the emperor and empress, as well as the imperial concubines and several princes, had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and returned to their residences.

The queen also returned to her Weiyang Palace, and as soon as she arrived at the Weiyang Palace, the queen felt a little unwell, so she asked the eunuch palace maid to serve and wash, and then lay down.

When she arrived, the queen suddenly shouted three times for the emperor, and then rolled off the bed and became angry.

The eunuch maid was frightened, and the eunuch leader immediately regained his senses after the initial panic, and while sending someone to inform the imperial doctor and the emperor, he carried the queen mother to bed with everyone, and used the small amount of medical skills he knew to pinch the queen mother's people, hoping that the queen mother would only faint temporarily.

"Where's the people!" the emperor almost ran in.

As soon as he entered the door, he rushed to the side of the bed, and saw the pale queen on the bed, the emperor took a deep breath, leaned over and touched the queen's neck, there was no beating, and then probed his nose, there was no heat.

The imperial doctor climbed up at this time, and regardless of the emperor's orders, he directly came up to catch the pulse of the queen's mother.

The imperial doctor's face suddenly turned as pale as paper, and he forced the pill that he had been holding in his right hand to bring the dead back to life into the mouth of the queen mother.

Slightly raised the neck of the queen mother, didn't care much, patted the queen mother's chest, and the pill immediately entered the abdomen.

Then the imperial doctor looked at the queen mother nervously, and forgot to salute the emperor.

At this moment, the emperor naturally did not pay attention to these details, and held the gradually cold hand of the queen mother tightly, and his heart was flustered.

This moment was the most panicked and helpless time in his life.

Panic is better than the moment he learns that Uncle Huainan has rebelled, he is hesitant and helpless, better than waiting for the northern army to conquer the rebels of Huainan Wang.

"Xiao Nan, wake up. "As time goes by, the emperor's heart is sinking.

Time passed little by little, and a stick of incense passed.

The imperial doctor once again took the pulse of the queen's wrist, and then probed the queen's snort, but there was still no movement.

The imperial doctor knelt down on his knees, trembling with tears and said, "Your Majesty, the queen mother... It's a funeral..."

"Fuck you-fuck-bullshit!" the emperor kicked the imperial doctor three feet away, and roared loudly.

Turning around, tears rolling down his face, he clasped the queen's two hands, and then picked the queen up and hugged her into his arms, pressing her face to his chest.

"Your Majesty, the concubines like the way you sit at the desk and criticize the folds. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines love to see you when you read in the morning. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine dreamed yesterday that the little prince fell into the water, and she was restless all day today. ”

"Your Majesty, rest early at night, don't be too tired. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine wrote a poem, let's see how it is written. ”

"Xiao Nan! What's wrong with you! Wake up! Say okay, let's go see the plum blossoms tomorrow! Xiao Nan! Xiao Nan!

All kinds of past days suddenly came to mind, and the love of childhood sweethearts for more than 20 years, on the last day of the year, suddenly left this world without warning, and suddenly left behind him, the king who sits in the world.

At this moment, it is likely to be the first emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and at this moment, he cried helplessly like a child. Jiujiu Library

The prime minister and the six Shangshu who came later, stood outside the door, listening to the emperor who cried more than tears inside the door, and all these senior ministers were all old and tearful.

But the emperor just cried a stick of incense and stopped, lowered his head and kissed the queen mother gently and affectionately on the forehead, and then slowly put the queen back on the bed. Huo Ran stood up, helped up the few imperial doctors who were kneeling on the ground, and said in a steady voice: "You check for me, find out the reason, if there is half a mistake, destroy your nine clans!"

"Yes, yes, yes..."Several imperial doctors knelt down and kowtowed again, and then got up and stepped forward to check on the queen.

And the emperor walked out of the house, stood outside the door, and looked up at the fireworks that kept blooming everywhere outside the palace. The half-round bright moon hangs high, and the sky is vast.

"Your Majesty, please mourn. Several important ministers knelt down and said. The last time these important ministers bowed down was during the sacrifice, and they don't remember how long ago the last time they bowed in private.

The emperor looked at the ten important ministers in front of him, was silent for a long time, and suddenly knelt down, holding the prince of the country who was over seventy years old, and cried loudly.

The sonic sound shook the palace.

The white-haired sacrificial wine lord also couldn't control his tears, and gently patted the emperor's back in a trembling voice and whispered: "Holy festival mourning, festival mourning, state affairs are important." ”

"Xiao Nan is gone, what should I do, teacher!" said the emperor loudly.

"And us, and us," the priest helped the emperor to his feet, grabbed the emperor's arm with both hands, and said, "Your Majesty, don't be so sad, your body is important, the queen mother will never want Your Majesty to be so sad." ”

"Yes, the queen mother hopes that Your Majesty will put the people of the world first. The other ministers who were still kneeling said in unison.

The emperor raised his sleeves to wipe his tears, took a deep breath, not enough, took another breath, and finally, stopped sobbing, forced a smile, and said: "Well, yes, Xiao Nan said that if she dies first, I hope I won't be sad, if I want to cry, I can only cry a little..."

As he spoke, the emperor's tears burst out of his eyes again, as if the Yellow River had burst.

For the third time... The emperor seemed to hear Xiao Nan's voice in his mind.

Then the emperor instantly stopped his tears, took a deep breath, and said to the teacher in front of him: "Teacher, I'm afraid you won't be able to go home tonight, I need you, you get up." ”

"What the saint said, the queen treats me very well, and we will guard here even if we die. Several important ministers stood up and arched their hands.

After a while, the imperial physician came out of the room and arched his hand: "Enlighten the saint, the queen mother died and her heart suddenly stopped. ”

"In other words, there are no other questions?" the emperor asked.

The imperial doctor said: "It can be said that it is not poisoning or murder by others. ”

The emperor nodded slightly, pushed the door and walked in. The palace maids and eunuchs in the house were still kneeling on the ground, not daring to get up. The emperor told them all to stand up.

Then the eyes swept over each one's face, one by one, and the gaze lingered on each one's face for a long time. After about three incense sticks, the emperor said: "You go out first, everyone, come in one by one." ”

And all the people went out as they were told, and first the leading eunuch came in.

Get on your knees.

The emperor said, "Tell me from beginning to end after returning from dinner tonight." ”

The leading eunuch kowtowed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, after coming back from dinner tonight, the queen mother said that she had a little headache, and the slave said that she was going to ask for a royal doctor, and the mother said no, she said that it would be good to sleep, maybe she talked a little too much today.... And then..."

The eunuch was in tears, and his words were a little confused, but he was able to tell the story of tonight from beginning to end.

And then the second man,

The third person.

More than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids all came in one by one, said it again, and then went out again.

The priest listened to the emperor's side.
