Chapter 145: After Death (3rd Update)
Kunning Palace!
Outside the hall, the cold wind rippled, there was a faint sound of calls, inside the hall, the dim yellow firelight swayed slightly, and the monotonous figure was reflected on the wall, and then shook!
At this moment, Empress Dowager Zhang has changed out of the dignified and majestic back clothes, but changed into simple light white pajamas, she drank the soothing tea before going to bed in one go, and then handed the teacup to the side of the Gonggong Wen, and the gentle face also showed a slight smile,
"This Su Shan's plan really made the mourning family not expect that it would ruin the reputation of Lin Zhongli without much effort, and he would no longer have the ability to cause trouble to the mourning family!"
"This time, it really impressed the mourning family again, this guy is extremely smart, these four words are not worthy of him!"
"yes!"
Gonggong Wen held the arm of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and slowly helped her to the place where the phoenix couch was, and then there was a little shock on his face, as well as admiration, and said in a low voice,
"Su Shan's hand is really incredible!"
"The old slave originally thought that he would waste some time and deal with Lin Zhongli, but he didn't expect that it was only less than ten days, and that Lin Zhongli was completely out of play!
"Heh......"
Empress Dowager Zhang sat on the bed under the service of Gonggong Wen, and then a maid came over to dismantle the hairpin on Empress Dowager Zhang's head, and untied the cumbersome hair ornaments, some gray and white hair was scattered, but it made that gentle face a little more gentle and quiet.
Gonggong Wen stood aside and stared, and for a moment of trance, a subtle smile flashed in his eyes, as well as a sense of satisfaction.
"Wen Duan, you said that Lin Zhongli was solved this time, and above this court, will there be people who are not able to do enough for the mourning family and hinder the footsteps of the mourning family?"
When Gonggong Wen was in a trance, Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly took a deep breath, looked up and asked, there was some unconcealable expectation on her face, and it was hot!
She felt that she was not far from the last throne and became the first female emperor in the history of the Great Wei Dynasty!
Some can't wait!
"The old slave is not sure yet!"
Gonggong Wen frowned and thought for a moment, then bowed and said,
"However, with Su Shan and the East Investigation Factory, even if someone wants to stop it, it won't set off too much turmoil, and the Queen Mother is relieved!"
"That location, soon to be yours!"
"Heh......"
Empress Dowager Zhang listened to Gonggong Wen's words, the smile on her gentle face was also even stronger, she took off her shoes and leaned on the bed with the support of the palace maid, and her eyes flickered slightly, and she laughed in a low voice,
"Yes, the mourning family has been preparing for this step for so long, and it should be a matter of course!"
"If I go to the emperor another day, it is time for him to sign his name on the holy decree of the throne of Zen......"
"The old slave congratulates the Queen Mother in advance!"
Gonggong Wen also bowed down and knelt down and congratulated in a low voice.
This day should indeed not be far away!
......
The night was deep, the wind was howling in the courtyard, there was not the slightest starlight above the night, and the whole sky looked like it was as black as an ink curtain, buckled overhead, and the oppressive atmosphere made people a little breathless.
Depressed and dignified!
In the back house, Lin Zhongli sat in front of the desk, his whole person did not have the slightest energy, his hair was almost completely white, and the wrinkles on his face were almost completely squeezed together.
He hunched his back slightly, his hands on his knees, almost as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant, and there was no color in those eyes.
Su Shan's strategy, without any confrontation, did not have any conflict with himself, a little trick, and then relied on the words "human words are terrible", so that he was completely ruined, and became the existence of the first rat at both ends of people's mouths.
The reputation he insisted on all his life was completely ruined!
At the same time, it will no longer pose any threat to Empress Dowager Zhang!
His heart was as cold as ashes!
"Sheng'er, you have to thank your father this time, we all thought you were saved this time, but I didn't expect that your father could really give up everything to save you!"
"Yes, your father has adhered to his principles all his life, and has never given up on changing because of anything, this is for you, so he compromised!"
"Mother, grandma, Sheng Er knows that this time it was Sheng Er who caused a big disaster on impulse, and the father who killed him died so much, Sheng Er understands that he will thank his father for his life!"
"After Sheng'er, I will never go to the casino again, and I will not touch gambling again!"
The voice in the front yard came intermittently, and Lin Zhongli didn't need to look to know that his mother, his wife, and Sheng Er should be a happy scene now.
When the mother heard that Sheng Er was safe and sound, she woke up, and Mrs. had a much better attitude towards herself, and the family returned to the same harmony as before!
However, Lin Zhongli's heart was extremely sad!
Sheng Er is fine, he is naturally relieved in his heart, but the principles he has adhered to all his life have also been completely trampled on, maybe he has not compromised, but now he ......
Who will believe in themselves?
Yourself, it's completely finished!
"No, I can't just give up, even if everyone doesn't believe in me and don't understand me, I have to stick to what I want to do, and I have to maintain the orthodoxy of the imperial power of the Great Wei Dynasty!"
After being silent for I don't know how long, Lin Zhongli suddenly raised his head, and his face also showed a trace of unconcealable determination, and even madness, he stood up suddenly, and then studied the ink by himself, and spread out the pen and ink!
"Brother Shaomou is enlightened!"
"Brother Shaomou, it is rumored in the outside world that the compromise between Zhongli and the Queen Mother is really false, Zhongli has put the life and death of himself and his family aside, just to protect the orthodoxy that we insist on, but unfortunately Dongchang is ruthless and insidious, and with this conspiracy, Zhongli has no power to return to the sky!"
"Only now there is a death to prove his innocence, and to wake up the civil and military officials who pretended to be asleep. ”
"Please continue to work hard, and if you see it under the Yellow Spring in the future, you should prepare a thin wine to honor our generation!"
"Loyalty, respect!"
After some hard work, Lin Zhongli dried the pen and ink on the paper, then stuffed it into the envelope, sealed the letter with red paint, and tore off the white silk from the bed, and then hung it on the beam.
"Lin Zhongli, die for the clarity of the world, die without regret!"
Lin Zhongli's face showed a thick solemnity, and determination, he took a deep breath, and then stepped on the stool and stretched his head into the white silk.
Looking towards the front yard, the lights were bright, and the voices of the mother and wife, as well as the son, were vaguely clear!
"Mother, madam, Sheng'er, you have to live well in the future!"
The last murmur fell, and Lin Zhongli took a deep breath and kicked away the bench under his feet.
Bang Dang!
The bench fell to the ground, Lin Zhongli's thin body hung in the air, Bai Yan slowly tightened, his face became blue, and his eyes were slightly bulging!
After a while, there was no breath!
