“…… When the child died, my sister was pregnant, and the emperor only cared about my sister's pregnancy, how could you remember the concubine and your child? The queen's voice was like a ghost asking for her life, crying blood, "Honghui is not yet three years old, he has a high fever and burns all over his body, and he dies, the concubine hugged him, walked in the rain all night, and wanted to go to the palace of the king of Hades to ask for the gods and Buddhas in the hall, if you want to ask for your life, ask for my life, don't ask for my son's life!" "She looked like a madman, like a ghost," and my sister had a child at this time, wasn't it her son who took my son's life! How could I tolerate her son being born! ”

"You're crazy!" The emperor scolded sharply, with deep sorrow in his voice, "It was I who insisted on marrying Chunyuan, it was I who insisted on making her a blessing, and it was I who had a child with her!" Why don't you hate me! ”

"Does the emperor think that the concubines don't want to? The concubine wants to hate you, but the concubine can't do it......" The queen gasped briefly, telling about her love for many years, but at this moment, this kind of love made the emperor feel disgusted, "The emperor only has his sister in his eyes, have you ever known that the concubine's love for you is no less than your love for your sister." Does the emperor think that my sister loves you a lot? She laughed lowly, "If she really loves the emperor, she will never tolerate the emperor and his concubines giving birth to a big brother, let alone the women of the Manchu palace sharing a husband with her, only the concubines are really in love with the emperor!" ”

"Buddha's mouth and snake heart, you really make me sick." The emperor looked at the queen coldly, and he had no desire to talk to her anymore.

The queen cried, and the emperor's words were like a knife, piercing her heart fiercely, stirring her five organs into a blur of flesh and blood.

The hall was quiet for a moment, and An Lingrong walked in slowly at this time.

"Why are you here?" The emperor was a little surprised, got up and walked to An Lingrong's side, and stretched out his hand to help her.

An Lingrong bowed to the emperor, and then took out the edict prepared in the morning and walked to the top to stand still, looking straight at the emperor: "The concubine was ordered to read the edict of the queen mother, and asked the emperor and queen to kneel to receive it." ”

The emperor's face sank, but he still knelt down respectfully.

An Lingrong slowly unfolded the Ming Huang edict, and his voice turned softly: "The queen mother's edict, behind the mourning family, if the queen is guilty of great disrespect, the emperor does not have to care about the friendship between the mourning family and the queen, let alone the friendship between the queen and the queen, and should focus on the overall situation." ”

The queen froze in place, and after a long time, she closed her eyes and began to cry bitterly.

In the end, she was left with nothing.

"The sons and daughters will obey the emperor's decree." The emperor spoke loudly, looked at the edict again and again, and after confirming that it was the handwriting of the queen mother, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor had already made up his mind to abolish the queen, but thinking of the queen mother's care for the queen mother before her death, and remembering the words entrusted by Chunyuan before her death, he hesitated again, the queen mother's edict came at the right time.

"Queen Wulanala clan, the destiny is not blessed, flashy, cruel to the emperor's heirs, friends fan the court, how can you respect the temple of the ancestors, and the mother of the world? Abolished as a concubine, the cold palace resettled. "Before the imperial case, the emperor dropped one by one, and finally, pressed the seal.

An Lingrong watched coldly, and the moment the Zhu Yin fell, the string that had been tight in her heart was finally loosened.

Her long-cherished wish was granted, and she had nothing more to ask for.

The will of the abolished queen set off turbulent waves in the front and harem, and in the chaos and panic, there was only the cold palace, which was silent.

"This palace knew that you would come." Yi Xiu looked at An Lingrong, who came alone, and showed a bleak sneer, "There is no good tea to entertain, I have wronged Concubine Rong." ”

Even though it has been abolished, she still guards the dignity of the queen, the dilapidated red palace dress is embroidered with a black swastika, the neckline that should be delicate is tattooed with raw edges at the moment, and Longhua, which is embroidered with golden silk peonies, is no longer as white as before. Yi Xiu sat in the dilapidated cold palace hall, because she was wearing a sinful body, she had no jewelry, her long hair was meticulously combed behind her head, and she was only fixed with a silver hairpin, which made her more and more haggard and skinny.

"I'm going to see you off." An Lingrong stepped forward slowly, opened the food box in his hand, and took out good wine and food from it, his voice was as light as smoke.

"I've always heard that Concubine Rong's craftsmanship is excellent, but I've never tasted it in this palace, and today I finally have the opportunity to taste it." Yi Xiu lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly, it was a gentle appearance that An Lingrong had never seen, she slowly poured herself a glass of wine, raised her head and drank it all, "The wine is fragrant and long, the aftertaste is endless, good wine." ”

An Lingrong didn't speak, only looked at the gate in a daze, a few birds flying in the blue sky, the snow-white wings were almost mixed with the flowing clouds, it was obviously a sunny sky, but it couldn't shine away the gloom and dampness of the cold palace.

"An Lingrong, now that the throne is vacant, do you intend to become the queen of the Qing Dynasty?" Yi Xiu finished drinking the wine in the wine glass, she seemed to be a little drunk, with a strange flush on her face, she laughed stupidly, "If you become the queen, maybe you will understand how much pain I have hidden under those unavoidable virtues for so many years......" She staggered to her feet and took two steps, "I've been thinking about it for the past few days, if I hadn't killed my sister back then, didn't let her die at the best time, but lived, let the years erase her beauty, and let the harem exhaust her pure kindness, maybe, She'll be what I am now. ”

"I have never met Queen Chunyuan, but I also know the truth that kindness leads to beauty." An Lingrong said lightly, "The Queen Mother said that Empress Chunyuan was also thinking about you before she died, and asked the emperor to treat you well, but she didn't know that her beloved sister would be the one who sent her to a dead end." ”

Yi Xiu turned to look at An Lingrong, standing in the shadows with a smile: "She knows...... My sister knew what I did back then, but she was willing to die. ”

An Lingrong looked at Shang Yixiu's eyes, and only felt that the hairs stood up, as if a poisonous snake was slowly crawling up along his back.

"Because I found out her secret, a big secret." The corners of Yi Xiu's mouth slowly overflowed with blood, and her face became more and more like a ghost from hell, "She has carefully planned a conspiracy, from the moment she first met the emperor, all this is fake, the person my sister loves has never been the emperor'......"

King of Guojun.

This name appeared coldly in An Lingrong's mind, she pursed the corners of her mouth tightly, and suddenly a flash of inspiration: "You are lying to me." An Lingrong stared at Yi Xiu's eyes and caught her fleeting panic, "If you find out the secret, she can kill you once and for all, why sacrifice yourself?" ”

She got up and approached the queen step by step, her voice tightened: "At the beginning, Empress Chunyuan did approach the emperor with a purpose, but she fell in love with the emperor, and in order to destroy the so-called plan of her and the person behind her, she entered the game and self-destructed, and you were just a knife handed over at the right time." Isn't it? ”

The hall was silent for a moment, only the sound of gusts of wind.

"In the later years of the first emperor, he favored Concubine Shu alone, and he was very fond of the king of Guojun, at that time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were discussing, following Yun Yu Yunyu, the crown prince may fall on his head, but unfortunately, the first emperor failed to live longer, this throne, after all, was taken by the emperor......" Yi Xiu did not answer An Lingrong's words again, and talked about the past without beginning or end, only halfway through it, her figure fell down violently, fell to the ground on her back, and raised a puff of dust.

After the abolition of the Wulanala clan, he was honored all his life, but he didn't even have a coffin on his deathbed, and died in the cold palace, no one cared about him.

An Lingrong quietly looked at Yi Xiu, who had no breath, and walked out of the cold palace with weak hands and feet.

Dill hurriedly walked over with her cloak, she babbled a lot, but An Lingrong didn't listen to a word, she just raised her head, greeted the warm sunshine, and whispered softly: "Such a good sunshine, I'm afraid I will never see it again......"

Back in Weiyang Palace, An Lingrong asked Dill to invite Zhen Huan and others, and she personally cooked and entertained her today.

The golden sunlight fell in the courtyard, the children's laughter came from afar, An Lingrong and Zhen Huan discussed in the small kitchen whether it was better to make perch soup or three fresh soup, Duanhuang Guifei and Concubine Jing played chess under the tree, Concubine Xin was smiling and drinking tea on the side, and Concubine Shun and Concubine Ning were sitting far away under the porch and plucking the strings and singing.

"There are strange trees in the court, the green leaves are blooming, climbing the strip folds its glory, it will be thought of by the will, the fragrant fragrance is full of sleeves, the road is far away, this thing is expensive, but the feeling is ...... time"

Fu Guiren was scrambling in the children's pile: "Brother Jiu, this can't be eaten, beware of eating bad stomach...... Eighth brother slower, the steps are high, don't fall...... Princess Haoyue, Princess Lingxi is still walking steadily, how can she run......"

Honghao slowly ate the fruit cut and handed over by dill, sat on the stool and shook his two little short legs: "Fourth brother, sixth brother is so slow, won't you walk halfway and fall into the water, right?" ”

Hongli smiled dumbly: "The sixth brother doesn't pay attention to it so often, why do you hold on to this matter every day?" Beware he won't give you a lock. He reached out and poked Honghao's head, and took a bite of the apple in his hand while he wasn't paying attention, showing a triumphant smile.

“…… Fourth brother, you are so naïve. Honghao glanced at him speechlessly, took a small fork and another piece of apple, and jumped off the stool, "I'm going to play with Sister Wen Yi and ignore the fourth brother." ”

"Oh no, I'm kidding." Hongli hurriedly followed, picked up Honghao and hugged him in his arms, turned his head and bumped into Hongyu who came in a hurry, he hurriedly stabilized his body, and almost fell into a ball of three people.

Haoyue was looking at the fun, pulling the spirit rhino and running over, learning the appearance of Hongyu falling down and pounced, where can Hongli withstand it, only had time to protect Honghao to put himself at the bottom, so that his younger brothers and sisters fell on him, several people suddenly fell into a piece, causing everyone to exclaim, Hongzhao also had to join in the fun, thanks to the noble man who pulled him down.

"Is this a stack of arhats?" Zhen Huan walked out with the pastry she had just made, and looked at a bunch of children on the ground in surprise.

Concubine Jing and Concubine Xin laughed so much that they couldn't speak, and they hurriedly got up to hug the child, Duanhuang Guifei smiled and patted Wen Yi and asked her to help too, and turned her head to explain to Zhen Huan: "It's all your Haoyue trouble, you have to learn from people, the fourth elder brother was originally standing firm, but she made a fuss to fall like this, Concubine Xi, do you think you should be punished?" ”

"I have to be punished." Zhen Huan looked at Haoyue dotingly, since she returned to her, Haoyue has become more playful in addition to being quiet, and people can't help but tease her, "I'll punish you...... This plate of chestnut cake is not allowed to be eaten. ”

Haoyue opened her mouth blankly and said "ah", aggrievedly hugged Zhen Huan and coquettishly, Zhen Huan bit to death and was not allowed to eat, as soon as she turned her head, Hongli stuffed a piece of Haoyue, the brother and sister met and laughed, Honghao whispered to Hongyu in the back, Wen Yi coaxed Lingxi, Hongyang ate chestnut cake like Hongzhao, and made a mouthful.

"Sister, it's a good day like this." An Lingrong walked out of the small kitchen and looked at the people in the yard with gentle eyes.

Zhen Huan slowly walked to her side and said with a smile: "Yes, it would be nice if I could always be like this in the future." She retracted her thoughts and said, "I see that the dishes are almost over, I'll get the rest, you're in better shape, go and rest." As she spoke, she summoned Xiao Yinzi, "Go and bring out your mother's favorite deck chair and put it under the hibiscus tree." ”

An Lingrong didn't shirk either, and went over to lie down after cleaning his hands.

Dill hurriedly brought a blanket to cover her, and Cardamom watched her finish the last sip of medicine before going to work on anything else.

An Lingrong lay under the tree, the sun fell on his face warmly, the wind rustled the leaves, a few birdsongs were crisp and pleasant, and the Ruan strings of Shun Concubine accompanied Ning Concubine's singing to render a piece of comfort and leisure, and the noise of laughter in his ears was mixed with homely gossip.

"Rong'er......" The emperor's voice came from afar, with the same gentleness as ever......

That's good.

In a brilliant sunshine, An Lingrong slowly closed his eyes and never opened them again. (End of chapter)
