In June, Luoyang suddenly had a heavy rain. The heavy rain was majestic, and it rained for several days, making the sky of the entire imperial capital look gloomy, and people's mood was also pressed with a layer of haze, as if something terrible was about to happen.

And at this moment, in the Yuntai Pavilion of Nangong, there are also clouds, whether it is the palace maid and eunuch or the attendant guards, everyone is cautious.

"Ahem..."The current queen mother is lying on the bed with her last breath. Coughing constantly, she was still a young man, but unfortunately, since the Dou family was wiped out because of her weakness, she has been falling into deep self-blame.

In the years that followed, she had consumed too much energy, and at this moment, it was so difficult to even stay and walk, the room was full of the pungent smell of medicine, and the imperial doctor was decocting medicine on the side.

And at the bottom of the collapse, there were three women kneeling, and they were the princesses of the three Emperor Huan. At this moment, they were all extremely sad, especially Liu Xiu, the eldest princess of Yangzhai, who was trembling from crying.

She is the youngest, and the Queen Mother has been treating her well since she entered the palace! And they are all members of Emperor Huan's family, and with the queen mother here, their lives will be good.

If the Queen Mother is gone, it is difficult to imagine their future lives. The queen mother slowly opened her cloudy eyes, and with the support of the maids around her, she slowly got up, lowered her head, looked at the crying princesses, and asked weakly, "Hasn't Wu Yong come yet?" ”

"After returning to my mother, I have already sent someone to shout, it should be there immediately, you wait a while!" Liu Hua, the eldest princess of Yang'an, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and replied softly.

"Cough~" The Queen Mother Dou Miao coughed a few more times before she spoke: "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait that long......"

"Damn bastard!! Gelding!! Liu Jian, the eldest princess of Yingyin, gritted her teeth and scolded. Since the Queen Mother's birthday last year, the Son of Heaven personally led hundreds of officials to congratulate her birthday, and the Queen Mother's complexion has been much better.

But I didn't expect that the eunuchs such as Cao Jie, Wang Fu and other eunuchs in the middle of the regular service were really hateful, and they hated the Yellow Gate to make Dong Meng complain and complain for the Empress Dowager Dou Miao many times in front of the Son of Heaven, so they framed Dong Meng for slandering the Empress Dowager Dong and put Dong Meng in prison and died.

After that, they forbade these princesses to come to see the Empress Dowager Dou, and took strict care of the Empress Dowager Dou, which caused the Empress Dowager Dou to become depressed and angry, and her health was not as good as day by day.

A few days ago, the news of the death of Empress Dowager Dou's mother in Bijing came. Cao Jie and others even recounted the tragic situation of the old man's death in the Empress Dowager Dou regardless of it, and they didn't even have a decent coffin.

This made the Empress Dowager Dou hear this, and immediately vomited blood and fainted, and was bedridden for the next few days. That's it, Cao Jie and the others didn't let her go, and they came to Yuntai Hall every day to speak coldly.

Where can Empress Dowager Dou endure such torture, after only a few days of work, she will have a lot of gas and a little air intake, and she will not be able to do it.

Cao Jie and others then told Liu Hong, the son of heaven, to ask the imperial doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, in order to make a show, they also relaxed their surveillance of the Yuntai Palace.

Thinking of this, the three princesses couldn't wait to crush them to ashes for such powerful eunuchs, but these people had the favor of Liu Hong, the son of heaven, and they didn't know what to say, so they could only be dizzy with anger.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Dou spoke,

"I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this time, while there is still some time, I will also make some plans for your future."

"Mother, you'll be fine." The three princesses hurriedly lay on the body of the Empress Dowager Dou and comforted. Empress Dowager Dou shook her head and said with a wry smile: "My own body, I know best in my heart, you don't have to say much." As she spoke, she waved her hand to stop the three people who were about to speak, and sighed: "Let's have a bad mother and daughter, I mistakenly believed in the eunuchs, which led to the destruction of the family, and I regretted it for life." After I die, I'm afraid there will be no place for you in this palace, so it's better for you to make plans early. "Three princesses, you look at me, I look at you, the desolation in my heart is even stronger, and the words of the Empress Dowager Dou have gone to their hearts.

Before they could speak, Empress Dowager Dou spoke again: "I want to marry one of you to Wu Yong, which of you is willing?" ”

"Ahh The three princesses were a little panicked, they didn't expect Empress Dowager Dou to ask such a question. They knew that Empress Dowager Dou was very close to Wu Yong, but they didn't expect that they would love her so much, and she would match her with a princess before she died, which made it difficult for them to understand.

Seeing that the three of them didn't speak, Empress Dowager Dou's face was a little gloomy,

"Wu Yong's character and talent are all top-notch, don't look at you as princesses, if you miss this time, you won't have time to regret it in the future." Just when the three princesses didn't know how to answer, a small yellow door suddenly shouted: "The queen has arrived!" ”

"Announce her in!" Mrs. Dou said expressionlessly. After a while, Queen Song Qing came in and saluted Dou Miao: "The Queen Mother bows down!" The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, even though she was dying, she still nodded and said, "Bow to An!" Empress Song walked in slowly, looking at the Queen Mother with some distress, but she hadn't seen her for a while, she didn't expect the Queen Mother to fall into such a situation, and at the same time she had a deep sense of fear for the Ten Standing Attendants.

She originally made an agreement with the queen mother that after she became the queen, she would definitely persuade the Son of Heaven to stay away from eunuchs.

But when she really became the master of the harem, she realized that this big palace was not something she could shake at will.

Not to mention that the Son of Heaven is alienated from her, that is, the ten permanent servants, any one of them speaks, in this palace, they are better than her words.

This queen is also miserable to say, since she became the queen, not only the Son of Heaven has alienated her, but the Queen Mother has not been waiting to see her.

The queen mother originally liked her, otherwise she would not have nodded and agreed to her as the queen, the queen mother wanted her to be the queen and use her influence to resist the eunuchs.

As a result, it has been so long, and this Queen Song has not played a role at all, and even made the Son of Heaven more favored by the eunuchs!

This made the Queen Mother Dou Miao how to stand it, since then she resented Queen Song, and never had a close relative of the Queen Mother, suffered this unjustified disaster, Queen Song still cared for the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother did not appreciate it.

Empress Dowager Dou looked at the childish Empress Song, and her voice was a little cold: "Empress, what is the important matter, you want to come in person?" The cold words made Queen Song's heart tingle, she looked at the Empress Dowager Dou worriedly, and asked with some grievances: "The concubine is just worried about the Empress Dowager's body, so she came to take care of it!" These words did not make the Empress Dowager feel warm, on the contrary, it made Dou Miao feel that she was ill-intentioned, she looked at Empress Song coldly, her eyes widened, and said: "The palace is not dead yet, you are early..."

At this time, Liu Hua, the eldest princess of Yang'an, spoke: "After returning to her mother, Zongzheng has already found a husband for her daughter, and she is the seventh grandson of Situ Fuzhan. Empress Dowager Dou nodded and sighed: "It's good if you don't regret it in the future!" Then she looked at the other two princesses.

Liu Jian, the eldest princess of Yingyin, immediately shouted: "The person I Liu Jian wants to marry must be a person who has made great contributions to the society!" ”

"You...... cough ......" Empress Dowager Dou was angry and kept coughing. At this time, Xiao Huangmen shouted again: "Zhongchang servants Cao Jie, Wang Fu, Cheng Huang, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Chun Yudeng, Yuan Yu, Feng Yi, Guo Sheng, and Lu Qiang want to visit the Queen Mother." ”

"Nope!" Before Empress Dowager Dou could speak, Liu Jian spoke.

"Who said it wouldn't see!" Shi Chang and others forcibly broke in, and after seeing the three princesses, Wang Fu said in a strange manner: "The slave maid and others came to visit the Queen Mother on the instructions of His Majesty, if His Majesty knows that His Royal Highness the three princesses dare to falsely spread the decree of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that there will be another turmoil." "Since Dong Zhong was given death because of the false transmission of the Empress Dowager Dong's message, Liu Hong, the son of heaven, has been very secretive about the false transmission of the Empress Dowager's message.

If Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, knew that Liu Jian pretended to be the Empress Dowager Dong just now, he might punish them.

Thinking of this, the three princesses were a little scared.

"Get out!" Empress Dowager Dou was not afraid of them at all. The dog slave who waged his tail and begged for mercy to her in the past killed her several times.

When I think about it, I can't wait to eat its flesh and eat its blood. Cao Jie, who was on the side, suddenly said: "Queen Mother, I heard that there is a custom in this dynasty that people with serious sins cannot be buried with the first emperor after death!" As soon as Wang Fu finished speaking, Empress Dowager Dou trembled angrily, pointed at Cao Jie, her hands trembled, and roared angrily: "Get out of the palace, the affairs of the palace are not the turn of you disabled people!" As soon as the words were finished, the Empress Dowager Dou shook her body and fell down suddenly, and everyone was in chaos again, crying everywhere, if it wasn't for the bell ringing, I was afraid that the palace people would feel that the Empress Dowager had died.

The ten permanent servants saw that it was not good, and hurriedly retired. Walking out of the Yuntai Palace, Lu Qiang grabbed Cao Jie's clothes violently, and said viciously: "Do you want to be angry with the Queen Mother?" Everyone knew Lu Qiang's character and hurriedly stood up to play a round.

Lu Qiang was a little angry and said: "I am ashamed to be with you!" After speaking, he left angrily, not even noticing the oncoming Wu Yong.

Wu Yong saw Cao Jie and the others, and hurriedly went over to greet him. The crowd was a little surprised by his coming, and without saying much, they motioned for him to come in.

The Queen Mother was lying on the bed, her body was getting weaker and weaker, and her eyes couldn't be opened, but she still didn't believe that she would die.

She is the queen mother, and she should have been glorified, but she didn't expect to end up like this. In front of her, one after another deceased relatives beckoned to her, and the feeling of suffocation was like Mount Tai pressing on the body of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother felt that she was also having some difficulty breathing, she looked around, except for the three princesses, there was no one around.

Alone.... Suddenly, the Queen Mother felt that her breathing seemed to have stopped a little, and she was horrified to find that her breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and she used her best strength to breathe, but it was useless.

Suddenly, tears came out of her eyes, and the Queen Mother was cold, and she shouted: "Someone, someone, someone!" ”。

"Queen Mother, we're here!" The three princesses hurriedly stepped forward to comfort them, but the tears in their eyes kept dripping.

Suddenly, there was chaos in the palace again, but they were also used to it, since last winter, the queen mother's body has been getting worse day by day, this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold on.

"Someone!" The Queen Mother cried, she screamed. At this time, Wu Yong hurried over, he looked at the Empress Dowager Dou with a face full of fear, and immediately couldn't care about anything else, and whispered in her ear: "Empress Dowager, you don't have to blame yourself, the Dou family has not been cut off, you still have a nephew alive." Empress Dowager Dou suddenly grabbed Wu Yong's hand, her grip became tighter and tighter, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, her mouth opened wide, and she inhaled hard, but her breathing became more and more rapid and weak.

In the first year of Yanxi, on the tenth day of the first month of June, the Empress Dowager Dou Miao died.
