Chapter 53: Despair

One

Overnight, the entire family of the high-ranking and powerful servant Gu Huaien was imprisoned, and he became a prisoner from the glorious and wealthy royal family.

The crime of rebellion, in a vain attempt to shake the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty, its fate can be imagined.

Dali Temple verified, the letter is true, there is no forgery, in the face of conclusive evidence, Fu Gu Huaien sighed, confessed.

People are not as good as heaven, and he would never have imagined that his dream of the Spring and Autumn Period would have ended before it had even begun.

It's just that he never understood why, Chen Ping would betray himself.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, there is no doubt that the entire clan of the Fugu clan will be exterminated, but in response to this problem, Emperor Suzong made a difficulty.

The difficulty is that Rong Lan, the eldest daughter of Fugu Huai'en, is the queen of the Hui king, and, I heard, is also deeply favored by the Khan.

If the Fugu family is exterminated, it will inevitably affect the diplomatic relations between the Hui and the Tang Dynasty. This is something that Su Zong does not want to see no matter what.

What to do? Among the ministers, there were also two very different opinions. One is that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention the crime of rebellion, and not killing is not enough to strictly enforce the law and set an example. On the other hand, the relationship between the two countries is of far-reaching significance, and if the Fugu clan is killed, it may cause war, resulting in constant military disasters and misery for the people. After the Anshi Rebellion, the treasury was empty, and the foreign power was strong and the middle was dry, and it could no longer withstand the toss.

Su Zong was in a dilemma. Rat-throwing bogey, don't ignore it. The crime of rebellion, not killing will damage the emperor's prestige.

Finally, he came up with an expedient plan: to imprison the Fugu clan in prison, not to kill or release, and to imprison them for the rest of their lives.

In this way, it can be regarded as worthy of Queen Hui.

Princess Ning Guo was very satisfied with this result.

Imprisoned for a lifetime, life is better than death, if such news reaches Rong Lan's ears, the concern for her relatives will make her sad day and night, and it will be difficult to sleep and eat, which is more effective than killing them.

As expected, when this cruel news reached Hui Hui, Rong Lan really couldn't bear such a huge blow.

Two

Since the last time she injured her fetus, Rong Lan's body has not been very good, and she has been taking medicine every day without stopping. is riddled with medicine all day long, which makes Dengli a little bored, and naturally, he is much more estranged.

After Anya's death, her heart was somewhat balanced, so she settled down to take care of her body, hoping that she could conceive another child and make up for the trauma in her heart.

She lay quietly on the bed, thinking to herself: the lavender-scented pillow given to Mrs. Shu should have some effect.

This Shu'er, who is proud of her favor, has been rampant recently, and Anya's death has made her a fisherman and won people's hearts. Now, in the palace, everywhere, is preaching Mrs. Shu's kindness, making herself, the queen, lose face.

However, it doesn't matter, after a few days, when you are better, save some energy, and fight with her well. Now, she's gaining momentum, and she's been proud for a few days.

After a few days, her stomach deflated, and she naturally couldn't get complacent.

Rong Lan smiled coldly.

Suddenly, there was some faint pain in my stomach. Rong Lan frowned.

I don't know why, it's often like this lately, faintly, a little falling feeling, not much pain, but unsettling.

Even the monthly letter is messed up. Rong Lan let out a long sigh.

The body is the capital, or it is important to take care of the body.

"Apricots." Rong Lan called.

The maid hurriedly stepped forward: "Queen Mother, Sister Xing'er has gone to the hospital." The slave and maid came to wait for the mother. ”

Rong Lan said "um" and said, "Help me up." ”

The maid supported her, sat up slowly, and leaned against the head of the bed.

"How many days hasn't the Khan been here?" Rong Lan asked lightly, helpless and lonely in her words.

"It's been three days." The maid put on her clothes and said.

The red face is not old and the grace is broken first. A kind of melancholy in the palace made her feel homesick.

Parents and siblings at home, are they okay?

Suddenly, as soon as the door opened, a cold wind suddenly broke in, and Xing'er came in like crazy, and said hurriedly with a crying voice: "Oh no! ”

Rong Lan said angrily: "What does it look like!" Shouting. ”

Xing'er hurriedly said: "Queen Niangniang, something is wrong!" Something happened at home! ”

Rong Lan was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Which family?" Be clear. ”

Xing'er was out of breath: "Just now, the slave maid went to the medical hall to get medicine, and I heard the medical officers discussing, saying that after receiving the Khan's will, no one is allowed to disclose the news of Chang'an to the queen." The slave inquired carefully, and then learned that there was a big incident in Chang'an City, and the queen's mother's family, the whole family, were all imprisoned! ”

Rong Lan's soul was not possessed, and she asked tremblingly: "Do you know that you are imprisoned because of this?" ”

Xing'er said: "I heard that it is a felony of rebellion, and I want to destroy the nine clans!" ”

When Rong Lan heard this, her head slammed, and a violent abdominal pain hit her like a mountain, making her faint.

Subconsciously, I only heard Xing'er's panicked and frightened cry: "Blood! ”

Three

When Rong Lan woke up, she was already lying on the bed.

The body, as if it had been filled with lead, could not move at all.

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts.

I tried to open my eyes and saw Denri looking at him with a concerned expression.

"Khan, you're finally here." Rong Lan's face was full of tears.

Dengli held her hand apologetically and said sadly, "I'm sorry. ”

Rong Lan said with difficulty: "Why didn't you tell me?" ”

Dengli said sadly: "I also just learned that you have a child again." ”

"What did you say?!" Rong Lan exclaimed.

"Don't you know? You're pregnant. Dengli said gloomily.

Rong Lan's heart was full of joy and sorrow. What she asked was about Chang'an, but what he answered was another matter.

"I'm pregnant again?" Rong Lan couldn't believe it. Recently, my health has been bad, and the monthly letter didn't come, so I thought I was sick.

Seeing her happy appearance, Dengli couldn't bear to say any more, and his face was sad.

Rong Lan said: "Isn't the Khan happy? We have another baby. ”

Dengli turned his face and said in a low voice: "But, it was gone again just now." ”

Rong Lan was stunned.

Gone?

I remembered Xing'er's fearful words: "Blood! ”

Rong Lan was cold. God, don't be so cruel!

After the great sorrow, the great joy, the great sorrow, such a big ups and downs, no matter who it is, can't withstand such a violent blow, Rong Lan screamed miserably, and fainted again.

This faint is a full three days.

Three days later, Rong Lan, who woke up, was a little demented. With his eyes blurred, he looked straight at the roof, and said nothing.

Dengli rushed to hear the news and hurriedly called: "Lan, you speak, I'm here." ”

After calling for a long time, Rong Lan finally turned her face, looked at him, and responded numbly: "You are here." ”

Dengli breathed a sigh of relief and finally woke up.

"Hungry or not? Eat something. Dengli brought a bowl of hot porridge and fed her himself.

Rong Lan drank the porridge slowly, and her heart was sober for a while.

"How's my family?" She asked softly.

Dengli comforted her: "It doesn't matter, it's just imprisoned in prison, and I didn't ask about the execution, you can rest assured that you can recuperate." ”

Rong Lan knew in her heart that the crime of rebellion was unforgivable, and the reason why she did not kill her head for the time being was because she was the queen of Hui.

The Tang Emperor was afraid to return to Hui, so he had to tolerate his mother's family.

His own life no longer only belongs to himself, but maintains the fate of hundreds of people in the whole clan. For the sake of loved ones, for themselves. Survive no matter what!

She took the bowl of porridge, gulped it down, and drank it. In my stomach, there are also my own salty tears.

The struggle between man and heaven is doomed to failure.

Rong Lan, who wants to be strong, is disheartened at this time, and has only one thought, to live.

Four

The situation in the palace suddenly reversed.

Even the most humble slaves and maids are keenly aware of subtle changes.

Fengyi Palace is going to fail.

Feng Shui takes turns, and now, the head of the palace is Mrs. Qingluan Gongshu, and, very likely, in the future, it is possible to enter Fengyi Palace.

Due to the queen's poor health, all major and minor affairs in the palace, including the harem expense accounts, have been taken over by Madame Shu.

A discerning person can see at a glance that the Khan's stay in Qingluan Palace is getting longer and longer, and the Khan's view of Mrs. Shu's belly is becoming more and more important.

As for the sick queen of Fengyi Palace, there is a medical officer to take care of her, and the khan himself just occasionally goes to see it every few days.

The palace people who tend to be inflammatory, flow in Qingluan Palace in an endless stream every day, lest they take care of it properly, and for a while, they lead to Qingluan Palace

Roads, even grass no longer grows.

Shu'er herself is very useful for such days.

She can foresee that in the near future, when she gives birth to a child, this time, Su's harem will be her own world.

That sick Rong Lan, at this time, is no longer a haze pressed in her heart, and she no longer poses any threat at all.

After experiencing the pain of losing her flesh and blood twice, losing her illustrious family as a support, and carrying the sins of her relatives, Rong Lan is already the end of the autumn wind, not to mention. No woman can withstand such a blow from body to spirit.

At this time, Shu'er was full of gratitude to Don Mohe.

Without his uncomplaining help, how could we have today's eyebrows.

It's just that there is nothing to repay for this situation.

If there is an afterlife, I hope I can live up to it again.

Shu'er elegantly inserted the silk flowers that have been bright on the sideburns, making her face look more delicate.

Bi'er smiled on the side: "Madame is so beautiful, I feel sorry for me, no wonder Khan loves her." ”

Shu'er smiled and said, "Will this kind of makeup be too flamboyant?" ”

She turned slightly, a dazzling golden step on her head swayed and shining, on her body, a light-colored embroidered jacket, decorated with golden tassels, and a bright red cloak on the outside.

Bi'er said with a smile: "When you meet the queen, you naturally want to be brighter and dispel her evil spirit." I'm afraid that when she sees it, she will be so angry that she jumps out of bed. ”

Shu'er smiled slightly: "The queen is sick, as a concubine, she naturally wants to go to ask for peace." Isn't it? ”

Bi'er pursed her lips and said, "That's nature." The slave will serve you out of the palace. The sedan chair has been waiting for a long time. ”

Five

Rong Lan lingered on the sickbed for many days. Although I took my medication on time every day, I did not see any improvement.

How could she know that Doctor Ge quietly added a hot medicine to her medicine, which made her weak body after giving birth like adding fuel to the fire, and she was even more deficient in blood and qi.

Every day, I feel thirsty and anxious, as if roasting on a fire, although it is winter, when I wake up, I am sweating profusely.

She opened her eyes with difficulty, and there was a pearlescent light in front of her, only to see Shu'er dressed in gorgeous clothes and standing in front of the bed with a big belly.

Shu'er smiled and said, "The queen is well." The concubine came to say goodbye. The concubine is inconvenient and can't salute, so she hopes that the mother is not strange. ”

Rong Lan turned her face in disgust: "What are you doing!" ”

Shu'er maintained a perfect smile on her face: "Yesterday, the Khan had something to do and left the palace. Before leaving, he instructed the concubine to take care of the palace, naturally, including the phoenix body of the queen's mother. Since the concubine was entrusted by the Khan, she was loyal to her duties, so she came to visit her mother today. If you need anything, just ask. ”

Without waiting for Rong Lan to speak, Shu'er continued: "I heard that the queen had a miscarriage and that the family had suffered another disaster, and the concubine was full of compassion, so I came to greet her. The queen must be generous, otherwise, if there are three longs and two shorts, how can she protect her family? ”

Rong Lan was furious and said hoarsely: "You gloating slut! You wish the palace died early, hello dove occupies the magpie's nest! You're going to die of this heart! Even if this palace dies, it won't be your turn to be the queen! ”

Shu'er laughed wildly: "That's not necessarily. The khan once promised that if a concubine gave birth to a son, even if it was the moon in the sky, as long as the concubine liked it, he would also pick it up to the concubine, not to mention anything else? ”

Rong Lan's heart trembled: "You are talking nonsense! When did he say that! ”

Shu'er smiled: "The sweet words that the khan said to his concubines are more than 10 million? Do you want to tell the queen one by one? Niangniang still uses less thought, and it is important to take good care of the phoenix body. Otherwise, even if the concubines don't want this Fengyi Palace, I'm afraid that you won't be blessed to live in. ”

Rong Lan was furious and scolded: "Get out! You foxy! Wish for the moon! ”

Shu'er said calmly: "Niangniang is so self-conscious." The concubine retired. "Shy on his stomach, he threw his sleeves and left.

Before leaving, he glanced at the medicine bowl on the table and smiled coldly.

It seems that the doctor Ge recommended by Don Mohe is indeed reliable.

A thought moved: Look at the labor, can this Doctor Ge do another big favor?

After Shu'er left, Rong Lan cried in despair.

Her body is getting worse day by day, and now, Shu'er, a cheap woman, is impatient to show off to herself. It's not a pity to die yourself, but the lives of your clansmen are worrying. It is conceivable that as long as you die, the disaster of destruction is inevitable. How can this hope of saving lives be sustained?

This life-saving straw is only Dengli.
