The Queen Zhong case has not yet been found out, but during this time, Queen Yang was restricted from moving, and once Yang Fucheng's cronies and disciples were demoted one after another, the day of Yang Fucheng's recovery is still far away.
Not long ago, Mrs. Yang was the first wife of the most beautiful, but in an instant, she was involved in a life lawsuit and became a suspect of poisoning the former queen.
The house leak happens to rain overnight, but at this time, Empress Dowager Yang fell ill. Yang Fucheng's daughter-in-law handed over signs several times to enter the palace to visit the Queen Mother, but was stopped.
In the past few days, Empress Dowager Yang has been dreaming day and night. The dreams are all about the Prince Caring and Mercy who died early. Empress Dowager Yang has nightmares from time to time. . The back became more and more serious, and even scratched and scratched at the empty place, as if fighting against someone.
The maids serving in the Cining Palace were all panicked and dared not stay alone before Empress Dowager Yang collapsed. The faint scent of the inner hall of the Cining Palace was always floating, and no one cared.
During this period of time, too many things happened, the palace seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, everyone even walked quietly, and no one dared to speak loudly. At the end of the month, after a rain, the Dragon Boat Festival came.
In previous years, the Dragon Boat Festival will be held in the palace, focusing on expelling the five poisons and driving away the bad luck. This year, the queen mother was seriously ill, the queen was grounded, and no one in the harem took care of these things. Naturally, there was no big deal on the Dragon Boat Festival. The maids themselves tied a five-color silk thread, cut a piece of colored talisman paper, and passed it hastily.
After Li Chengjing came back from the outside, he found that there were no lights in Ciqing Palace. His heart tightened, and he walked quickly to the main hall, with a hint of strength in his hand, and pushed open the hall door with one palm.
Suddenly, red lanterns were lit up in the hall, and many palace maids knelt on the ground carrying palace lanterns and said in unison, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Chengjing was stunned for a moment, remembering that the Dragon Boat Festival was also his birthday. In the recent eventful autumn, Li Chengjing has to be busy with Yang's family affairs, and also need to check the affairs of Empress Zhong back then, so why is he in the mood to celebrate his birthday. And he has been absent for many years, there is no precedent in the palace, and there are very few people who can connect the Dragon Boat Festival with his birthday.
Cheng Yujin stood at the front, smiling and wishing Li Chengjing a thousand blessings, just as they met for the first time: "Wanfu, Your Highness, happy birthday."
Li Chengjing was really helpless, there was no light in the room, which startled him, but it was just to say happy birthday to him. However, no matter how helpless he was in his heart, Li Chengjing still laughed out, stepped forward and held Cheng Yujin's hand: "It's so good that you don't light the lights, it scared me. Do you still remember?"
"How could I not remember." Cheng Yujin stood up. At this time, the palace lanterns in the hall were lit one after another, and the two of them walked inside together, "On such an important day as His Highness's birthday, I can't forget anything, Your Highness."
No one can refuse nice words, and so does Li Chengjing. His expression softened unconsciously, the two walked into the inner room, Cheng Yujin pressed him on the chair, and came back with a bowl of longevity noodles in person.
Li Chengjing was surprised when he saw it: "Are you ready to eat?"
"Yeah, I made it myself." Cheng Yujin put the bowl in front of him and said, "I haven't been in the kitchen for a long time, and my cooking skills are unfamiliar. If there is something wrong, please call your Highness Haihan."
Li Chengjing couldn't help holding Cheng Yujin's hand and looked: "You are still recovering, how can you do it yourself? Is the water in the kitchen cold or warm, does it hurt you?"
"His Royal Highness, I don't knead noodles, I'll be fine for a long time." Cheng Yujin sat next to him with a smile, and said, "After thinking about it, I don't have anything to give to Your Highness, so I can only make some food and talk about my feelings. Longevity noodles There is only one bowl in a bowl, and it will last forever, with longevity and longevity. May Your Highness have this day every year, and every year have this day."
Li Chengjing's eyes were full of starlight, and looking at Cheng Yujin's eyes was very gentle: "I know your heart, you are still recovering, you don't need to do these things, just leave them to the next person."
"How can that work?" Cheng Yujin smiled and glanced at Li Chengjing sideways, "My birthday is in December, and my two children's birthdays are also in December. In our family, only you were born in summer. Of course I can't be wronged. You, or it's like the three of us are pushing you out."
Li Chengjing couldn't help laughing, and there were bits of gold in his eyes, like stars.
After Li Chengjing finished eating the longevity noodles, he and Cheng Yujin went into the inner hall to watch the bright moon dry. Their bodies are getting stronger and stronger, and they can no longer look as thin as they were when they were born. Li Chengjing hugged the two children and commented truthfully: "Li Minggan has gained weight again."
"What fat?" Cheng Yujin took something out of the box, and glared at Li Chengjing when she heard this, "Is the child fat? It's obviously healthy and strong."
"Okay, you're right." Li Chengjing put two "healthy and strong" dolls on the collapse and let them crawl and play by themselves. As soon as he turned around, he saw what Cheng Yujin was holding and asked, "What did you take?"
Cheng Yujin sat on the side of the slump, held Li Chengjing's hand, and tied five-color silk threads around his wrist.
"I remember the first time I learned about Uncle Ninth's birthday, it was on the Dragon Boat Festival. At that time, I was in a hurry and had no preparation, so I had to send Uncle Ninth a five-color silk thread that I woven myself. They said that your birthday is evil, but I don't believe it. ." Cheng Yujin tied a thin knot behind her back, raised her head and said with a smile, "Okay, the ninth uncle will live a hundred years, and he will never give up."
The light is gentle, giving everything in front of you a soft glaze. Li Chengjing looked at the fine porcelain beauty in front of her, and unexpectedly remembered the year she first met Cheng Yujin. She suddenly heard that his birthday was on the Dragon Boat Festival. Kaijie him in May is just a lot of poisonous insects, not bad luck.
Li Chengjing saw it at the time that Cheng Yujin tied him mostly with her own five-color silk thread. So delicate and delicate that she can carry it with her, it must be the long life cable she made for herself.
It's just that the topic was abrupt at that time, and Cheng Yujin was completely unprepared, so she had to take out her silk thread. Unexpectedly, the five-color line became a red line. Cheng Yujin not only gave him his blessings and evil spirits, but also lost himself in the end.
The same scene, but the mood of the people in the scene is completely different. At that time, Cheng Yujin was still a nominal niece to him, but now, she has become his wife with their two children crawling beside her.
Li Chengjing didn't let Cheng Yujin's hands move away, he grabbed the slender hands with his backhand and asked, "What about you and the children?"
"The two of them have been tied for a long time." Cheng Yujin pointed to Li Chengjing, and sure enough, there were thin silk threads on the ankles of the two children.
Li Chengjing asked: "What about yours? I remember you don't like to wear them on your hands, so you just carry them with you?"
Cheng Yujin glanced at him, but didn't move. Li Chengjing smiled: "Do you take it yourself or I'll find it?"
… rogue. Cheng Yujin had to take it out by herself and said, "It's too childish to be tied to my hands. I'm an adult, and I'm laughed at by others."
"How old are you, you always have an old-fashioned tone." Li Chengjing took it and wrapped it around her wrist, "I was originally a child, what do you think is childish?"
After hearing this, Cheng Yujin couldn't help but retort: "Your Highness, you are not much older than me, right? Why do you always treat me like a child."
As soon as he woke up the dreamer, Li Chengjing nodded his head: "That's right. Maybe I've been your uncle for a long time, and I always treat you as a junior."
Cheng Yujin smiled and made a gesture to hit him. Li Chengjing held her hand with ease, admiring her slender and fair wrist under the light, with five-color silk threads hanging on it, delicate and gorgeous: "Beauty is like jade, honestly don't deceive me."
Cheng Yujin tried to take her hand back, but failed twice. Li Chengjing's eyes followed the slender hands and shifted to the face of the person in front of him. Cheng Yujin has been very meticulous after giving birth. Now her waist and limbs are back as before, but her chest and buttocks are fuller than before. Her skin was originally white, but now she has added the softness of being a mother. Under the lamp, she is like fine porcelain, shining brightly, and the beauty makes people delusional.
Li Chengjing's fingers circled around Cheng Yujin's wrist. After Cheng Yujin was pregnant, both of them were cautious, and naturally they didn't dare to take any risks, and they never had sex again. Afterwards, Li Chengjing went to Jiangnan for disaster relief, and when she came back, Cheng Yujin soon gave birth. After giving birth, Cheng Yujin took care of her for several months. Li Chengjing was afraid of hurting Cheng Yujin's foundation and refused to let her take the risk. It was not until three months after she gave birth that the two carefully tried it once.
During this period of time, the affairs between the DPRK and China continued one after another, and the two of them hadn't had sex for a long time.
Tonight, Li Chengjing was a little moved. He sighed sincerely: "Yu Jin, beautiful jade, if the real person lives up to his name, beautiful jade is flawless. If the days in the future are like today, and the years are like today, I will be satisfied."
Cheng Yujin was a little embarrassed, but in such eyes, she couldn't help laughing: "If you think about it, why do you want to find such a glorious reason for yourself."
Li Chengjing also smiled and pulled her to sit over: "It may be that the prince has been in charge for a long time, and he can't change it."
Li Chengjing was about to ask someone to take Li Mingqian and Li Mingyue out when suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside, and then Liu Yi's voice sounded at the door: "Your Highness, urgent report."
Cheng Yujin and Li Chengjing looked at each other and couldn't help but smile: "What's the matter?"
"The empress dowager has passed away."
The death of the empress dowager is not a trivial matter. Cheng Yujin quickly changed her clothes and came to the Cining Palace.
Cining Palace was crying at this moment, and the palace maid and eunuch were panicked, and when they saw her, they all knelt down: "See the Crown Princess."
Cheng Yujin responded and walked into the palace with a sullen face. After she entered the hall, she took the lead to see Empress Dowager Yang. Not long after Empress Dowager Yang died, she lay motionless on the bed she used to recover from, surrounded by people kneeling on the ground, weeping. Cheng Yujin stopped in front of the collapse, smelled it slightly, and found that the spices had been changed.
Cheng Yujin was relieved, and she went forward to check the Queen Mother's pulse very sadly, and then knelt down in tears.
At this time, the changes in the palace were reflected. Empress Yang received the news later than the crown princess Cheng Yujin. Empress Yang stumbled over and saw Empress Yang's body, and the whole person was stunned. She stepped forward to sniff the Queen Mother, and then she didn't want to believe it, and looked at the Queen Mother's pupils again, until the imperial doctor whispered to the side to remind the Queen Mother that she had passed away, and Empress Yang fell to the ground with a thud as if struck by lightning, and burst into tears. .
Empress Yang's cry of grief was almost heart-rending, and as soon as she heard it, she knew it was genuine grief and no adulteration. After a while, the emperor came over, accompanied by Li Chengjing. Seeing the body of Empress Dowager Yang, the emperor sighed and said, "My son wants to be raised, but I don't want to wait, so the empress dowager is going. Instruct the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the empress dowager's funeral."
The funeral ceremony of Empress Dowager Yang was extremely mournful and honorable. All the wives inside and outside the palace entered the palace to mourn. Empress Yang was especially grief-stricken. On the day of the Empress Dowager's funeral, Empress Yang mourned so much that she cried directly in the mourning hall and fainted.
Isn't it dizzy? After the death of Empress Dowager Yang, the emperor has no scruples. As soon as the first seven queen mothers were released, the matter of Empress Zhong was finalized. Yang Fucheng’s wife should be beheaded for murdering the first empress, and she should be beheaded to the public. Nian was in her birth to Empress Yang, and the emperor’s kindness was so great that she gave her a whole body and drank the poison from Yang’s family. drink to death.
However, Yang Shoufu was ineffective in managing his wife, taught Sun Wufang, and had a personal disadvantage. He was removed from the position of Shoufu, and Nian spared his life for many years of meritorious deeds, but all his family property was confiscated. His son, Yang Shilong, also cut officials down for the people, and will never be reused.
Dou Xiyin was also implicated, deprived of the title of princess and demoted to a commoner. Seeing that the situation was wrong, the Dou family quickly abandoned Yang Yan and hurriedly threw her back to the Yang family.
Empress Dowager Yang has been buried, but Empress Yang is still sullen, as if she has lost her life completely. Empress Yang really has no hope of running now. The Yang family collapsed overnight, her father and brother were demoted to civilians, all property was confiscated, and there was no trouble on the road. And her mother died, her aunt died, her sister was abandoned, her niece had no name and no distinction, and even the concubine's room was worse than living in Shouwang's mansion.
The tree fell, and the people who used to curry favor with the Yang family were now shunned one by one. And Queen Yang herself is also facing a crisis of post-abolition.
The second prince knelt in front of the Qianqing Palace and asked the emperor to spare Queen Yang's life for the sake of Queen Yang's efforts to spread the branches for the royal family and have children. The emperor was furious and asked the second prince to go back and think about it behind closed doors. The second prince admitted his mistake, but remained motionless.
He still knelt in front of the Qianqing Palace, neither eating nor drinking, not even the soft cushion that the eunuch had secretly stuffed, so he knelt firmly like that. After all, sons are different from women. When Empress Yang came to intercede before, the emperor didn't even look at it. Now that he was the second prince, he knelt for a while, and the emperor couldn't bear it anymore.
When the sun was in the middle of the day and the most scolding, the emperor came out of the Qianqing Palace, sighed, and asked the eunuch to hold an umbrella for the second prince and help the second prince to get up.
The second prince followed the emperor into the hall, and he knelt for a long time in the imperial study, interceding for Empress Yang. In the end, the emperor did not express his position, but just waved someone to send the second prince back to his house.
When Li Chengjun came out of the Qianqing Palace, he happened to meet Li Chengjing entering the palace. When the two of them were on the steps, one up and the other down, and passed by, Li Chengjun stopped and said to Li Chengjing, "eldest brother, your revenge has been avenged, the Yang family has been reduced to this point, and my mother has been washing her face with tears every day. Do you still want to be so aggressive? You have to forgive people and forgive them, could it be that you have to force your mother to death to be reconciled?"
Li Chengjing stopped, turned sideways, and looked down at him across two steps: "Am I being aggressive? I'll force people to death?"
Li Chengjing seemed to hear something funny, and raised the corner of his lower lip lightly: "However, my mother has been forced to death by them. You, the proud son of heaven who was held in the palm of your hand and enjoyed all the benefits since you were a child, Talk to me about being forgiving and forgiving?"
Li Chengjun was speechless, he took a step back, gave Li Chengjing a long bow, and his hand almost touched the steps: "His Royal Highness, brother, it's my mother and grandfather, I'm sorry for you, I apologize on behalf of the elders. What are you angry about? Hate, just come at me, please let my mother go."
Li Chengjing ignored it, he turned around without joy or anger, and continued to walk towards the Qianqing Palace, which was located on the high platform of white marble, without any emotion in his eyes.
"The injustice has the first debt and the owner, what qualifications do you have to suffer on behalf of your mother? You take the place of your biological mother, then who will suffer on my mother's behalf?"
Li Chengjun raised his head in surprise and saw Li Chengjing walking up the stairs slowly and gracefully. He walked towards the Qianqing Palace, which symbolized the highest power in the world, step by step, and it seemed that he would not stop for anyone. Li Chengjun couldn't bear it any longer, he took two steps up and asked, "So, you still refuse to stop?"
Li Chengjing had stepped up the last step, stood on the high platform, did not turn his head, and said lightly: "I'm still alone in that sentence, right or wrong, human causality, and it is all handled by the law."
