"Clang!" The empty cup fell to the ground with a crisp sound, a stream of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and the prince gurgled twice in his throat. He stared at the queen, his eyes gradually became loose, and his facial features gradually distorted.
"Mother, you will regret it, you will definitely regret it!" The prince swayed, and finally died on the ground.
"Prince!" The third prince's feet went limp and fell to the ground, staring blankly at the already exhausted prince, his body couldn't help trembling slightly, and his face became snow-white.
The queen glanced at the third prince who was obviously shocked. The words of the prince before he died couldn't help echoing in her ears. She frowned in disgust and tried to put away the annoying words. Looking at the third prince, she said lightly: "Prince Fear of guilt and commit suicide, do you remember?"
The third prince looked up at her blankly, moved his lips, but did not make a sound.
"You remember it!" The queen's eyes froze, and she raised her voice and shouted.
"Remember, remember!" The third prince gritted his teeth.
Seeing his expression, the queen suddenly felt an inexplicable annoyance in her heart. She really did not expect that the third prince would become like this.
"Emperor, do you hate the queen mother?" The queen sighed softly and asked softly.
The third prince was a little taken aback by her attitude, and asked in a daze, "Resentment?"
"Yes, have you ever resented your mother for not recognizing you for so many years?" the queen said.
resentment? Still don't hate? The third prince himself didn't know, so he just stared at the queen in a daze, unable to answer.
The empress sighed for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "The empress mother has no other choice, son! Back then, concubine Tian Gui and the eldest prince were your father's favourites. At that time, the empress dowager was still there. It is even more on the side of Concubine Tian Gui. If the Queen Mother kept you by her side, they would definitely not escape their murderous hands! Later, the Queen Mother passed away, and the Queen Mother started to deal with Concubine Tian Guifei and her son! , I didn’t expect that the crown prince was so fateful that he didn’t die, and Concubine Tian Gui was thrown into the cold palace by your father for murdering the emperor’s heir. The eldest prince was only ten years old at that time, so it would be much easier to deal with him! The queen mother originally thought , let the crown prince remove all threats and block all disasters for you, and when you grow up, the position of crown prince will be returned to you, today, finally, is the day!"
The queen spoke lightly, as if removing one life after another was nothing, but hearing the third prince's ears sent chills down his spine.
Too cruel! Those people she eliminated were also his brothers!
"The queen mother did this all for you!" The queen said softly again: "Prince, can you understand the queen mother?"
"Mother..." The third prince was stunned, his mind buzzing.
"You don't blame the queen mother for being cruel, do you?" The queen was very displeased when she saw him like this, and she even felt a little angry and wronged. The conscience of heaven and earth, what is she planning for so many years? Isn't it for him? In order for him to sit firmly on the throne of the emperor! But instead of being grateful, he put on such an expression, which really hurt her!
If it was someone else, she would have already exploded. However, this is the son she owed for twenty years!
"Empress," Aunt Qing hurriedly said when she saw that the situation was not good, "The Third Highness is kind, and he has never seen such bloody things in these years. You should let him go back to rest first! We have to deal with it first." ! For other things, just take your time, anyway, this day is still long!"
Aunt Qing glanced at the prince's body on the ground as she spoke.
The queen has already arranged everything properly, so of course she won't be in a hurry, Aunt Qing's words can be regarded as a step down for her, she snorted, but said: "Take your time? How can I be relieved! In the future, the throne will be It was going to be handed over to him, but he is so useless, frightening people like this, I am really disappointed!"
The third prince glanced at the queen lightly, and lowered his eyelids again. He really wanted to ask if his mother had regretted it now, but he didn't dare. Because he knew how furious the queen mother would be if he said this.
"There's no rush!" Aunt Qing hurriedly said with a smile, "After all, His Highness the Third Highness has never seen these things before..."
The queen snorted again and remained silent.
Aunt Qing knew that the empress had acquiesced, so she bent down and helped the third prince up, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you should go back first! The empress has servants here to serve you! Don't forget what the empress told you, His Royal Highness, he committed suicide in fear of crime..."
The queen glanced at the third prince who was still a little pale and stunned, and said with a frown, "Collect your mind before going out. If you go out like this, others will not know, and you will think you have done something good to kill and steal money!"
The third prince's face was even more uncomfortable, he bowed his hands to the queen, and retreated with weak legs and feet.
Seeing him go, the queen let out a long and dejected sigh, and smiled wryly at Aunt Qing: "Aunt Qing, look at how the emperor will be able to control the world for thousands of miles in the future! Even everyone In the Zizhai courtyard, the master is weak, and the slaves who steal, rape and play tricks come to the fore one by one, not to mention those officials who have become fine!"
Aunt Qing knew what kind of words the Empress liked to hear, so she laughed and said: "The Third Highness is your son, so he must not be a bad person. Your Majesty, as long as you train him well, why is it so difficult to live with the Third Highness? Let's talk about it." , don’t you still have your mother? You can give me a little advice about everything, Your Highness!”
"That's right," the queen sighed and nodded, and said, "In the future, I will have to worry more about this mother!"
Aunt Qing followed the queen's words and said a few words with a smile, and the queen's mood gradually improved.
Emperor Xiangqing finally woke up. After hearing the report from the little eunuch, the empress hurriedly changed into a set of plain clothes and the hairpin rings on her bun, and ordered Aunt Qing to dispose of the prince's body. With a few court ladies and eunuchs, he hurried to the Qianqing palace bedroom.
"Your majesty, you are awake!" The queen stepped forward with tears in her eyes, her face full of sorrow and concern. She didn't need to say something like "The concubine is worried to death!", but the meaning was brought out with sincerity, and Emperor Xiangqing felt it.
Emperor Xiangqing let out a long sigh, and said softly, "I'm worrying you!" Then he couldn't wait to pant and asked, "Where's that rebellious son?"
When Emperor Xiangqing asked this question, his expression was quite agitated, and his originally dim eyes showed brilliance in vain. He stared at the queen closely without blinking.
That rebellious son is the queen's beloved son, but even if he is the beloved son, he deserves death if he does such a rebellious thing!
If, if the queen dared to intercede for her rebellious son, he would never spare her!
Just thinking about it, Emperor Xiangqing was filled with anger.
This is the queen that he has always trusted and will never harm him. If it were another concubine, the first thing he would do after he woke up would be to order him to be sidelined!
"The concubine's death penalty!" The queen's body trembled, and her face turned pale. She knelt down on the ground with a "plop", bowed her head and choked with sobs, and said, "The concubine has no way to teach the son, and the rebellious son did such a treasonous thing. Almost If you harm the emperor, your concubine will be punished with death!"
Emperor Xiangqing sighed, and said, "I can't blame you. If it's okay to teach the son, how can I have no responsibility? What about the rebellious son? I want to ask him personally how his heart and liver were born, so vicious, so eccentric. Not enough!"
One of the important reasons why Emperor Xiangqing didn't suspect that the queen was involved in this matter was that he didn't understand why the prince would do this at all? He has no competitors anymore, the throne will be his sooner or later, the queen has always been cautious, and will never take such a big risk—because it is completely unnecessary!
However, the crown prince just did something completely unnecessary, which really puzzled Emperor Xiangqing!
He even wondered if his brain was broken!
The queen's body trembled again, and she cried, "Your majesty, you have to take care of your dragon body! Your majesty, that rebellious son, he can't come! He, he has already committed suicide!"
The queen said, covering her face with Yipa, sobbing and crying suppressedly, kneeling on the ground with her head bowed, her shoulders trembling slightly, she looked so pitiful, revealing a deep sense of grief.
"What did you say!" Emperor Xiangqing's face changed drastically, and he couldn't recover for a moment in a daze.
Suicide in fear of guilt? died
Although he had no intention of letting him go even if he was alive, Emperor Xiangqing still felt empty and uncomfortable when he heard the news of his death.
"This is, what evil did you do!" Emperor Xiangqing burst into tears, suddenly became agitated and couldn't control his emotions, panting heavily.
One or two sons wanted to kill him! want him to die...
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" The empress turned pale with shock, she got up from the ground without any haste, and ran forward staggeringly, holding Emperor Xiangqing's hand tightly: "Prince doctor, send the doctor quickly!"
With Emperor Xiangqing's appearance, how could the imperial physician dare to leave? Almost all the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital were waiting in the side hall, and when they heard the summons, the court judge rushed over with the two of them.
Taking the pulse and administering the needles, he was flustered for a while, and Emperor Xiangqing's face looked better again, and he lay on the dragon couch and lost his mind.
"Your majesty, did you hear what the imperial physician said just now? You can't be so flustered anymore! You have to rest well!" The queen said tearfully while holding Emperor Xiangqing's hand.
The queen's eyes were red, and there were still tears on her pale and pale face. When she said this, she was holding back her heart full of grief.
Emperor Xiangqing raised his eyeballs, stared blankly at the queen for a while, then tried his best to squeeze the queen's hand back, and said softly in a trembling voice: "Queen, you, you also have to take care..."
The queen was stunned, and then realized that Emperor Xiangqing mistook the prince for her son, because he was afraid that she would be sad!
