Empress Dowager Pu Yuan's eyes were full of tears, and she looked a little sluggish: "I'm old, it's useless to say anything, no one listens to me, if you let Zhiguang die, then let me die with him." ”

Emperor Zhiming stood up after hearing this: "Queen Mother, what are you doing?" It seems that the emperors of the past dynasties did not let women interfere in politics, this is the most correct choice, the queen mother, you are in the palace, you should have heard if you haven't seen it, which emperor is on the throne, not accompanied by blood and rain. ”

"It's more common for brothers to kill each other, do you blame me for this? It's all you, why did you give birth to two sons, why did you let me kill my brother with my own hands, didn't I suffer? Saying that, Emperor Zhiming's tears also flowed, and he looked very painful.

Empress Dowager Pu Yuan wiped her tears and continued to persuade: "What did I let you do?" Isn't it just for you to let your brother live? Is it that hard? In the future, I will take your brother away from home and return to our own hometown, and I will never come back for the rest of my life, so I just ask you to let your brother go. ”

Emperor Zhiming sighed helplessly after hearing this: "Queen Mother, I let go of my younger brother, then the people under him, I can't let go, if I let them go, then where is the royal majesty, who else will take my words to heart in the future, how can you let me manage the world in the future." ”

Empress Dowager Pu Yuan was stunned on the spot when she was asked, and then she was furious: "Your wings are really hard, okay, okay, I'll make you the emperor." Saying that, the Empress Dowager Pu Yuan directly overturned the Long Shu case, turned around and cried and went back to the harem.

After Empress Dowager Pu Yuan left, an old eunuch walked up to Emperor Zhiming and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what should I do now?" ”

Emperor Zhiming pondered for a moment, looked at the old eunuch, took out a bottle of things from his waist and handed it to the old eunuch: "Go ahead, you have to do it without leaking." The old eunuch then respectfully took the medicine bottle, turned around and went out.

After Princess Jiahui visited the second prince, she returned to her room, she was disturbed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and finally got up, got dressed, and came to the queen mother's palace of the Empress Dowager Pu Yuan.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Pu Yuan, at a loss, put one hand on her head, very haggard, her eyes were red, Princess Jiahui walked up to Pu Yuan and asked in a low voice: "Mother, did the eldest brother still not promise you to let the second brother go?" ”

Empress Dowager Pu Yuan sighed and said helplessly: "Your eldest brother is no longer the eldest brother he used to be, how obedient he used to be, he didn't dare to say two when I said one, it's good now, learn to play a scoundrel, to you, you went to see your second brother, did you see your second brother?" How is he now? ”

Princess Jiahui raised her hand and touched her forehead, and then shook her head: "It's not good, there was no sunlight in the prison that day, the stench was stinking, and my second brother lost weight." ”

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager Pu Yuan sighed lightly: "He deserves it, he did it himself, I told him before, the prince is the prince, don't think that you can replace the prince, now it's okay, you put yourself in prison, and now you regret it." ”

Princess Jiahui shook her head and sat next to the Queen Mother: "The second brother has no regrets, the second brother said that this is fate, he is willing to die, he said that he has at least worked hard and will never regret it." ”

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager Pu Yuan felt uncomfortable, and even scolded him: "He is just a stubborn species, and I don't know who he followed, how good are these two brothers?" Since your father died, these two people seem to have completely changed people, and they don't care about anything in order to be emperor, hey. ”

Just when Princess Jiahui was talking to the Empress Dowager Pu Yuan, a eunuch hurriedly ran in and said: "The Queen Mother, it's not good, it's not good, the second prince, the second prince is in the prison, and he committed suicide by poisoning in the prison." ”

This sentence, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, smashed on the body of the Empress Dowager Pu Yuan, the Empress Dowager Pu Yuan sighed and fainted, and Princess Jiahui was also stupid on the spot, her head was short.

After the eunuch saw it, he hurriedly ordered someone to find the imperial doctor, and when the imperial doctor came, after a busy meal, the Empress Dowager Pu Yuan woke up slowly, and Princess Jiahui was also like a knife, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

After the Empress Dowager Pu Yuan woke up, she staggered out, and the eunuchs, palace maids and Princess Jiahui were waiting on both sides, and they were running in the direction of the prison.

When they arrived at the prison, there were already a lot of people inside and outside here, everyone saw the Empress Dowager Pu Yuan, they all hurriedly got out of the way, when Princess Jiahui and the Empress Dowager Pu Yuan came to the cell of the second prince Zhiguang, Emperor Zhiming had also come, crying dead and alive.

Princess Jiahui looked at the second prince lying on the cold ground, wearing the new clothes she had just brought, lying there, her heart was like ten thousand steel knives pierced, very uncomfortable.

The Empress Dowager Pu Yuan cried even more, and a eunuch took out a letter from the underwear of the second prince and handed it to Emperor Zhiming, who wept silently and glanced at it and said: "Give it to my queen mother." ”

Empress Dowager Pu Yuan took the letter and unfolded it tremblingly, only to see that the last words of Prince Zhiguang were neatly written on it.

Letter:

Queen Mother, I know that I am dead, you will be very sad, Queen Mother, don't be sad and sad, I just went to accompany my father, my son is not filial, I know that I am not dead, it is difficult for the Queen Mother and my eldest brother to do, as long as I die, everything will be calm.

I am committing suicide, the queen mother must not blame the eldest brother, the eldest brother is not easy as the emperor, I understand, Jiahui told me before, she likes a commoner, she didn't dare to say it to the queen mother, for fear that the queen mother will blame, the queen mother, Jiahui is the father's most beloved child, and also your most beloved child, and it is also the best sister of me and my eldest brother.

I hope that the queen mother can fulfill Jiahui, let Jiahui live freely, born in the emperor's family everything is arranged, I don't want my sister to become a victim of the royal family, I beg the queen mother to be able to fulfill Jiahui, I will be with my father and the emperor underground, please rest assured.

After reading the letter, the Empress Dowager Pu Yuan couldn't cry, she handed the letter to Princess Jiahui again, Princess Jiahui read it, turned her head and handed the letter to Emperor Zhiming, Emperor Zhiming took the letter, and after reading it for a long time, he sighed softly: "Second brother, my brother wanted to let you live, but I didn't expect you to commit suicide, second brother, woo woo woo." ”

The next day, the news of the suicide of the second prince spread throughout Hongqing City, and the entire Nanling Kingdom was in mourning, and Emperor Zhiming personally arranged for the second prince's funeral to be busy for a whole month, and then everything returned to calm.

After the funeral of the second prince, Emperor Zhiming looked at the old eunuch beside him and asked with some hesitation: "What's the matter with that letter?" Who wrote it? ”

After hearing this, the old lady bowed and replied: "Your Majesty the Emperor, that letter was indeed written by the second prince himself, and I watched him write it with my own eyes. ”
