25. The queen is gone

On the second day, Li Yaoguang said goodbye to Li Zhuyue and returned to the East Palace.

She first sent Tao Yao to inquire whether Li Xiao had gone to the upper duty, and only after getting a positive answer did she enter the East Palace.

For now, it's better not to meet her eldest brother.

Tao Yao didn't go to Pingkangfang with Li Yaoguang yesterday, just waited outside the workshop, naturally she didn't know what was going on, and now she just sighed sadly: "County Lord, let's go back to the palace earlier in the future, it's always a little uncomfortable outside." ”

Li Yaoguang waved his hand, not caring much: "I'm an unrestrained person, if I really want to stay in the East Palace all day long, it will be my life." ”

As he was talking, Xin Yi walked quickly, his face was full of anxiety, and his eyes were red: "...... Princess! You're back! ”

Seeing Xin Yi's gaffe like this, Li Yaoguang's heart jumped, and he immediately sat up from the soft couch and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xin Yi knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Queen Mother, she, she...... She's not going to be done! ”

Li Yaoguang was struck by lightning.

She felt that her whole being was in a wonderful state, half peeled away in the air, half immersed in the eyes, unable to see or hear.

She heard herself say, "Take me here!" ”

Li Yaoguang trembled all the way.

Why did the imperial grandmother suddenly die?

Ye Shenyue...... Is it Ye Shenyue?

Yes, yes, calculate the time, right now Ye Shenyue has made friends with that Jianghu poison doctor, and it is not difficult to get medicine.

Li Yaoguang regretted and hated for a while, regretted that he did not take good care of the imperial grandmother, and hated Ye Shenyue for unscrupulous means.

rushed to the Xuanzheng Palace, Li Yaoguang staggered over, Li Xiao and Li Huan brothers were also there, Li Rui knelt on the queen's couch, tears streaming down his face.

Emperor Yuanwu has always loved his wife, and now he is also in tears, and the emperor who has always been high above is just an old man who is afraid of his wife's imminent death.

Li Yaoguang forcibly endured his crying and knelt beside Li Huan and Li Xiao.

The queen was already dying, and when she saw Li Yaoguang coming, she beckoned to her with a smile: "Phoenix? Phoenix, come to Grandmother. ”

Li Yaoguang choked up and came to the queen's couch, held her somewhat desolate hand, and begged: "Imperial grandmother, Phoenix wants to eat osmanthus cake tomorrow, you made it yourself." ”

Princess Li Zhuyue of Pingyang also came at this time, her sideburns were scattered, and she also looked panicked.

The queen touched Li Yaoguang's head and sighed with a smile: "Hey, silly boy, it's spring at this time, where did the osmanthus come from?" ”

Li Yaoguang couldn't cry: "Then I'll do it in autumn, Imperial Grandmother...... Please, Phoenix, okay? ”

Emperor Yuanwu on the side listened to it in his ears, and he choked up with sadness.

The queen patted Li Yaoguang's hand and said with a smile: "Don't cry Phoenix, it's not good to cry." ”

Then, she said to Emperor Yuanwu: "San Lang...... I'm afraid I won't be able to do it, the only ones I can't let go of in this life are Pingyang and Ah Rui, as well as Phoenix...... Shall thou shalt treat them well with me? ”

Emperor Yuanwu and the queen's young husband and wife, even fought together at the border, the love is self-evident, even if Emperor Yuanwu has not many concubines, but the queen's position in his heart is irreplaceable, even if Li Rui, the eldest son, has to retreat.

Even if Emperor Yuanwu was a little dissatisfied with the crown prince, he was also worried when he saw his old wife dying, so he naturally responded in a voice: "Wu Niang, don't worry, Ah Rui is my prince and our child!" ”

When Li Yaoguang heard this, great sorrow welled up in his heart.

Li Zhuyue and Li Rui also called out the "queen mother" in grief.

Whether it is Li Yaoguang, Li Rui, or Li Zhuyue, they all know sadly that the queen is exchanging her life for the gold medal of Princess Donggong and Princess Pingyang.

Li Yaoguang and Li Zhuyue, who were worried about not knowing how to ask Emperor Yuanwu's subordinates to show mercy last night, now learned that they could be saved...... But it was exchanged for the queen's last words on the occasion of the queen's legacy.

The empress and Emperor Yuanwu said something in a low voice, Li Yaoguang was in a daze, and together with everyone in the East Palace and Li Zhuyue, he was respectfully invited to the side hall.

In the main hall, the queen already had a sense of returning to the light, she took Emperor Yuanwu's hand, and cried: "San Lang, you and I both know that Xiao'er is the widow of Bang Yue's girl, how wronged Bang Yue is, Xiao'er is even more innocent, you, you promise me...... Treat them well, they are your dearest! ”

Emperor Yuanwu closed his eyes, his voice was dumb, and he was extremely remorseful: "Pingkang has a strong temperament, and I can't stand being wronged...... Who would have thought that she would go directly? The anti-king forces are still at large, Wu Niang, don't worry, as long as I have one day to live, I won't let them have an accident! ”

When Emperor Yuanwu and the empress spoke, they always used "you and me" to speak.

The queen smiled at this time, and then took Emperor Yuanwu's hand and slowly loosened, hanging down little by little......

A moment later, Li Yaoguang, who was sitting in the side hall, heard a mournful cry, as if they wanted to cry out their hearts, livers and lungs, and the strong sadness and reluctance made everyone's hearts tremble.

The juniors felt something, and they all stood up, Li Yaoguang stumbled into the main hall, and saw Emperor Yuanwu kneeling on the queen's couch like a child, holding her hand, crying uncontrollably, and the palace people were also crying.

Li Yaoguang walked over cautiously and knocked his head on the ground several times.

At the same time, six heavy bells rang and spread throughout Chang'an City.

The bright spring light on the horizon converged, the clouds on the cage were layered, and the sound of the death knell entered the high gate and into the field.

The sixth prince Li Jing was playing against Prince Li Yan, and when he heard the bell ringing, he was all in his heart.

Li Jing slowly dropped a son: "Uncle Huang, it's time for us to enter the palace." ”

Li Yan glanced at Li Jing meaningfully: "The sixth nephew is a good method." ”

Looking at the chess game again, it is now a narrow victory for the sunspot led by Li Jing.

Li Jing pretended not to hear it, but sighed a little melancholy: "The queen mother is gone, and she has to keep filial piety for twenty-seven months, poor Ye Erniang, I'm afraid she won't be able to marry me for a while." ”

Li Yan saw it in his eyes, and sneered in his heart - pretentious!

But he also knew that he had to rely on this nephew for the time being, so he didn't dare to show anything on his face, and he sighed and echoed: "Yes, poor Ye Erniang." ”

"Boom-" With a spring thunder, Li Jing and Li Yan stepped on the way into the palace in the spring rain.

……

In the palace, Li Yaoguang knelt beside the queen's body, listening to more and more people arriving behind him, and his heart was calm.

Chang'an City is about to change.

……

As if to confirm what Li Yaoguang was thinking, bursts of spring thunder came one after another outside.

Cui Yu and Xie Wu stood outside the palace, waiting to be summoned, and Pei Chen was also standing behind his grandfather in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, it was already a shock.

Shocked...... Many old ministers sighed.

The sky of Chang'an City is really going to change.
