The queen's voice grew weaker and weaker, almost inaudible.

Until finally he stopped talking, and his breathing became weaker and weaker.

She seemed to be asleep, with a faint smile on her lips.

She said that she could only feel her husband's care for her in her dreams and give her a warm heart.

She was afraid to open her eyes, afraid that every time she woke up from a sleep full of joy, she would have to face endless cold.

This time, she didn't have a chance to open her eyes again.

What she feared and worried about would never have to be faced by her in this life.

For her, death is not a relief.

In the fifth year of the Qi Dynasty, on November 27.

Empress Zhu Junwen died of illness in Fengluan Palace. The whole country mourned, mourning for three days.

This year, Shen Ciwu's birthday was spent in front of the queen's mourning hall.

At the funeral, all the concubines cried profusely, as if it was not the queen who died, but their relatives.

But after the three-day national funeral, those concubines who were crying and mourning returned to normal, smiling.

On the day when the Empress Zigong was enshrined in the imperial mausoleum, there was a heavy snowfall in Jiangdu.

The scheduled start time was delayed by an hour due to heavy snowfall.

Xiangling, the big palace maid in the queen's palace, ran to Yong'an Palace at this time, knelt in front of Shen Ciwei and cried and begged her, "Concubine Rong, slave beg, let the bed be buried with the queen." That was the only thing on her mind. ”

The color of red cannot appear in the imperial mausoleum, and Shen Ciwu can't commit this taboo for the sake of the queen.

But she still thought of a thoughtful way for Xiangling, "You can't enter the imperial mausoleum, so the bed is happy, and the palace can't allow you to bring it into the imperial mausoleum." But the dragon and phoenix on it are embroidered with auspicious patterns, which is sewn with gold wire, and it is also a good idea. You can cut it off, fold it into a veil and put it in the clothes of the late queen. ”

Xiangling thanked Shen for her great kindness, and hurriedly ran back to prepare.

Later, after the funeral procession left the imperial city, Shen Ciwei heard a news.

Xiangling committed suicide by hitting the wall in front of the gate of Fengluan Palace.

Pei'er said: "Niangniang, it is a big taboo for the palace maid to commit suicide, she blatantly does such a thing in the palace, which is clearly provoking the mother." The queen died, Concubine Xi was demoted to Concubine Xi, Niangniang held the power in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, she was so provocative, Niangniang had to teach her a lesson. ”

Shen Ci said worriedly: "She is dead, what lesson do you have to teach her?" That's it, she served by the queen's side at the age of eight, and she has a deep relationship with the queen. She committed suicide not because she was embarrassed by the palace, but because she wanted to go with the queen. Don't pursue this matter, send her body back to her home outside the palace, and send another hundred taels of silver to her family. She's a heartfelt servant after all. ”

Although Shen Ciwei did not have the slightest good impression of the queen, her death still brought her a little shock.

It also made her cherish her unsuitable life even more.

In the previous dynasty, the Southern Barbarians and Shurong were defeated, and the Qi army pursued and killed their capitals, captured the kings of various countries, forced them to abdicate, and handed over the ruling power to the Qi Dynasty.

As for Xiliang, it had a meritorious role in this battle and helped the Qi Dynasty to resist the foreign army, so Li Mobai did not kill them all.

At the beginning of December, Chu Yuezhi returned triumphantly and reported the incident to Li Mobai.

"Your Majesty, King Xiliang wants to enter the palace to see the emperor."

"He's here to ask for a reward?" Li Mobai asked while reviewing the folds in his hand: "I don't levy Xiliang, and I also exempt them from paying taxes for three years, what else do you want to ask for?" ”

Chu Yuezhi: "Your Majesty, he doesn't want to ask for anything, he just wants to enter the palace to see the emperor." The people had already arrived at the Jiangdu inn and stayed, and he only brought two personal soldiers, not even the march, which was regarded as showing his sincerity to the emperor. ”

"See me?" Li Mobai joked: "That's it, everyone who comes is a guest, he has arrived in Jiangdu, I don't see him, and I have lost the king's hospitality." You let him enter the palace tomorrow at noon, and I will hold a banquet in the palace to entertain him. ”

"Yes, We're here. It's just ......" Chu Yuezhi stammered for a moment before saying, "It's just that he has another request, he wants Concubine Rong and the emperor to meet him together." ”

It's okay to see him, but if you want to see his daughter-in-law, no!

How can his worries be shown to other men casually?

Li Mobai rejected the matter without thinking about it, "Concubine Rong is nine months pregnant, and the time of childbirth is approaching, let her have a big belly and suffer to meet him with me, a king of Xiliang?" She and Concubine Rong don't know each other, why do you want to make such an appeal? ”

Chu Yue's way: "Weichen has seen King Xiliang on the battlefield, he led the troops to go out in person, he has a good skill, and he is also handsome. I don't know if the emperor still remembers what King Rui said when he returned to the palace and saw Concubine Rong for the first time? ”

Li Mobai recalled for a moment," he said...... Concubine Rong looks a little like the new king of Xiliang? ”

Chu Yuezhi: "Exactly." Wechen also thinks so. Especially the eyebrows and Shen Yun are also eight points similar to Concubine Rong's mother. ”

Li Mobai knew that Shen Ciwei also had a younger brother, who was also raised in Wang Xi's mysterious organization in the past.

However, his younger brother has some problems with his IQ, he is as wise as a child, and he died two years ago, and Xiliang and Jiangdu are far away, even if her younger brother is not dead, it is absolutely impossible for her brother to run to Xiliang to become the king of Xiliang.

In this way, Li Mobai was even more curious about the identity of the comer.

He asked Chu Yuezhi to inform King Xiliang to prepare for tomorrow's visit, while he went to Yong'an Palace.

When she came, she saw Shen Ciwei lying on the bed with her butt pouting, and Pei'er and Qi'er were cheering her on the side.

"Come on, mother! The ass is tilted back hard! Come on, come on!! ”

Li Mobai was stunned, "This ...... What are you doing? ”

Shen Ciwu heard his voice, and quickly returned to his normal posture and sat on the bed, smiling a little awkwardly, "Huh? Hey...... No, nothing ......."

Pei'er explained with a smile: "The emperor is blessed, this is the recipe that Wen Po taught Niangniang, saying that the time when Niangniang is about to give birth, this action is maintained for a quarter of an hour every day, and when it comes to giving birth, it will be extraordinarily smooth." ”

Li Mobai walked to Shen Ciwu's side and sat down on the edge of the bed, "I have to endure such hardships for the sake of my children, look at you, I am tired and sweating in winter." ”

He wiped the sweat stains on Shen Ci's forehead with his sleeve, "Why don't you tell me about this in the morning?" I'm with you. ”

Shen Ciwu: [??? Are you with me? Do you think it's sexy when I'm pouting my ass? It's embarrassing to death......]

"The emperor is in charge of everything, I have to accompany the emperor for all good things, and I am too ignorant."

Li Mobai: "Count the days, there are still more than half a month before you give birth." The things for the mother and the midwife have already been prepared, and I will stay in the Yong'an Palace to accompany you for the next few days. ”

He held Shen Ciwu's hand tightly, "I know that you must be scared in your heart for the first time. Actually, like you, I'm very nervous. Let's face this kind of thing together, and I will never leave you alone. ”
