Chapter 458: Stay until dawn
Shen Nianyi understood what the Queen Mother was worried about, the jade seal was not in the palace, this was a matter of the sky about to fall, and she didn't dare to say it in advance, just quietly searched, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, but she didn't expect that the jade seal had not been implemented, the emperor had already died, and now even Imperial Doctor Ni went with him, and he thought of the bleakness of Gonggong Mo's face.
Grandpa Mo didn't know that the Queen Mother was desperately looking for the jade seal, and he was the only eunuch who served the emperor closely, and the queen mother hadn't made a move against him at this time, so he left a back move, I'm afraid that even if he didn't know where the jade seal was, he wouldn't have a good end.
In the past, the first emperor died, and no one who served closely could die well, but it was just a temporary scenery, and in the end it was all empty.
"Shen Shaoqing, since the mourning family has chosen Yin Zhi, there will be no changes halfway, the news of the emperor's return to heaven will be released from the palace early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid no one will be able to sleep tonight." The Queen Mother's eyes looked through too much, looking at a certain point that did not know the depths, "If you don't have a jade seal, you can also choose a new emperor, I'm not too worried about this." ”
"The Queen Mother is worried that tonight will not be peaceful?" The news will not be released until tomorrow morning, but how many bright and dark eyeliners are staring at this in the palace, no one can say well, the queen mother can seal the news of the living, but she can't seal the news of the dead, the emperor returns to heaven, the imperial doctor is martyred, and the palace maids and eunuchs who come in and out here, I am afraid that everything that should be known is already known.
"Hold on until dawn." The Queen Mother left this sentence, and immediately commanded those people brought from Changchun Palace to make various responses to many matters early tomorrow morning, "There are still many things that need to be arranged here, so retreat to the imperial study." ”
"Grandmother, why can't I stay to guard my father's spirit!" Yin still did not listen to the arrangement of the queen mother and protested.
"Yinzhi, your father is gone, and things are not as simple as you think." The queen mother sighed if she didn't have anything, she can be regarded as a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, sending away the first emperor, from the queen to the queen mother, and now even the emperor is gone, and the grandsons are still lacking one by one.
"My father is gone, I have to stay and guard my father's spirit, grandmother, I won't go to the imperial study." Yin Zhi's stubbornness suddenly came up, "Even if it is an ordinary people's family, and the father dies, there must be a son who guards the spirit and keeps filial piety, can it be said that the emperor is not as good as the ordinary people's family!" ”
When the Queen Mother heard these words, she was furious, and without thinking about it, she directly slapped Yin Zhi with a loud slap: "You, your father's bones are not cold, you dare to contradict your grandmother like this, you are really angry and sad for the mourning family, you kneel down for the mourning family!" ”
Yin is very obedient and knelt directly, how strong can the queen mother's hand be, at most two points of pain on the face, and eight points of hurt in the heart, it turns out that in the eyes of his father and grandmother, he is still an uncontentious person, if he disagrees, he can shout and scold, and what to say to support the new emperor to succeed to the throne, not to mention that his grandmother is not at ease, he is not at ease with himself.
If, in the future, my grandmother will listen to the government and disagree with the politics, will I have to slap him in the face to solve the problem?
Therefore, he knelt straight and straight, did not say a word begging for mercy, and made up his mind that even if his grandmother wanted to drive him away, even if he was desperate not to succeed to the throne, he must stay by the bones of his father.
The Queen Mother stared at him for a long time, and one hand hung in the air, and finally put it down inch by inch: "Yin Zhi, aren't you afraid?" ”
"Yin still has to protect the safety of his grandmother, his father passed away, and the saddest person should be his grandmother." Yin still didn't avoid looking away, and directly greeted him.
The queen mother's facial features were slightly relaxed, if she heard this, she could continue to fight, then she really didn't deserve to shout at her grandmother: "The mourning family knows that you are a good boy, it was the mourning family who hit you in anger, let the mourning family take a look, is it hurt, does it hurt?" ”
"My grandson has rough skin and thick meat, so it's not in the way." Yin Zhi heard the Queen Mother say this, and came over to help him with both hands, and quickly stood up, could it be that he still had to chase the Queen Mother to get back the explanation.
"The mourning family knows that there are still too many things to deal with here, and there is a crisis tonight, but fortunately, the mourning family kept Shen Shaoqing in the palace." The Queen Mother raised her head and looked at Shen Nianyi, "Shen Shaoqing, I'll leave it to you here." ”
"The Queen Mother can rest assured, unless she walks through the corpse of Weichen, no one can hurt the six princes." Or rather, it is the new emperor of tomorrow, Shen Nianyi bent down slightly, and replied without being humble or arrogant.
"Okay, with Shen Shaoqing's words, the mourning family can rest assured." The Queen Mother turned away, what she said was not wrong, tonight is a sleepless night, she must come forward and conspire, then tomorrow will pass, so that the wind and waves can be calm, and the rain will be clear.
"Sixth prince, please go over there to rest first, according to the Queen Mother's instructions, we must wipe and clean up the emperor's body." Two older fathers-in-law came in and saluted.
Yin still understood that these were necessary steps, he stepped aside, looked up and didn't see Yang Gonggong, he didn't look at Shen Nianyi, as if he was talking to himself: "Shen Shaoqing, do you think there will be another candidate for succession in my father's heart?" ”
Shen Nianyi didn't answer, he didn't even talk about it, even when the queen mother was undecided, it was he who chose people, the emperor only had three adult sons, and at this time, he still felt that Yin Zhi was much more suitable than the other two, and with what Fang Cai Yin said to the Queen Mother, he also lived up to his choice.
"If that person is better than me and calmer than me, then I'm willing to let Xian be." Yin Zhi's chatterbox was opened, and they sat and stood one by one, in a corner of the side room, where the light did not seem to shine, and they were always in the shadows.
Yin is still not modest, even if his father honed him in the circle and taught him a lot, he almost never thought that one day he would let him inherit the throne, he just wanted to do a better job, so that his father's eyes could see more of his highlights, and the rest, he really didn't have time.
"The six princes don't say stupid things." Shen Nianyi's voice returned to the feeling of being as cold as ice a long time ago.
Yin Zhi couldn't help but shudder, he was not afraid, but felt that there were a lot of people coming in and out over there, why was it so cold in the house, that kind of cold seeped out from the bottom of his heart, and little by little it could condense the whole person into ice.
"Shen Shaoqing, do you know, I have no father and no mother now, and I am already an orphan." Yin Zhi himself also knew that this was a bit silly, and he said it in front of Shen Nianyi, he was most unaccustomed to Shen Nianyi's attitude on weekdays, didn't he rely on his martial arts to be taller than others, his head was smarter than others, he was more thoughtful than others, and he had a father who used to worship the prime minister, so he could mix like a fish in water.
Thinking about it now, it is already quite powerful to be able to combine these advantages, and it is no wonder that my father has said more than once, but if there is a prince with half of Shen Shaoqing's ability, he has already set up a successor, so why should he have to work his elderly grandmother and work tirelessly inside and outside at such an abrupt time.
"When my mother was away, I thought that I still had my father, even though my father did not have me in his eyes, I still had expectations, and now, even this smallest expectation was ruthlessly taken away by God."
"Sixth prince, you still have the queen mother."
"Yes, I still have my grandmother, and I can't live up to my grandmother's wishes." Yin Zhi lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "Grandmother said that tonight is very dangerous, is someone asking for my life?" ”
"I'm afraid that's the case, the battle between the palace and the palace has always been the most bloody and cruel, the six princes should be grateful to the Queen Mother, as far as I know, the Queen Mother has sent all the people in the Changchun Palace who can be mobilized to protect here."
"If my grandmother is in danger, will I have to regret it for the rest of my life?"
"The Queen Mother will not be in danger, the Queen Mother has seen too much life and death, and her heart is like a mirror." Shen Nian kept looking ahead, and saw that Imperial Physician Ni's body was carried out, so many people, but the room was quiet as if only the two of them could hear each other's voices, and the others were silent, so silent that it was terrifying.
"So, who's coming?" Yin Zhi asked softly, "Who will do this final culling!" ”
Shen Nianyi's gaze shifted to the nearest lamp and candle, the candle flame soared, falling in his pupils, jumping non-stop, he didn't have any luck, thinking that he could keep his wife peacefully until dawn, if there was such an accident, the Queen Mother would not be so worried, and would not leave such words.
What he wanted to see was when those people would be able to break through the layers of barriers outside.
The room was still quiet, and a faint scent of ambergris spread, and someone had thrown new incense into the furnace, enough to hide the rotten smell of the corpse.
Curling green smoke, skimming the eyes of the two, Yin still felt cold, and he couldn't help asking: "Why, it's very warm in the room, why, I still feel cold and piercing all over." ”
"Because people are dying all the time." Shen Nian kept answering in a straight way, "When the Sixth Prince said every word, someone was dying, and he died within a distance of no more than twenty paces at most. ”
"Who are those?"
"There are people who want to break in, and there are people who want to protect the new emperor."
"How could you be so clear!"
"Because I can hear." Although Shen Nianyi was asking and answering questions with Yin, his whole body was tense as if it was a sharp arrow that could be shot at any time, time was slowly flowing, and the further back he went, the more dangerous it became, if he was the last barrier of the Six Princes, then he could not become a corpse.
Outside the palace, there seemed to be wailing, screaming, mixed with the wind, trying to roll in through the window, but unable to break through, Yin Zhi saw a large puddle of blood, like a large dark brown flower, splashed on the window paper, illuminated by the lamp, even more miserable.
