"Nonsense!"
Liu Yi didn't believe a word of what Eunuch Wen said.
Empress Dowager Pei and Princess Huyang have been fighting for decades. When the two get along, whether in public or in private, they have never given each other a good look.
With the greatest malicious speculation, when Princess Huyang passed away, the Empress Dowager Pei was probably in a dark mood.
What a joy it would be if the disliked person who had been fighting for many years finally died.
Eunuch Wen even said that Empress Dowager Pei missed Princess Huyang so much that she almost became ill.
He also deliberately planned to bring Master Wuwang back to the capital, with the purpose of forcing Master Wuwang to death so that he could be buried with Huyang.
This is the most ridiculous thing Liu Yi has ever heard.
"Nonsense! Absolutely impossible! Brother Huang, this dog slave is full of nonsense, slandering the reputation of the queen mother, and it is not too much to cut him into pieces."
Liu Yi was very angry.
Is it possible that Empress Dowager Pei does not miss the first emperor, but misses Princess Huyang who has fought all her life
Of course it is possible!
Gu Jiu believed Eunuch Wen's words.
She secretly held Liu Zhao's hand, reminding him not to jump to conclusions or get angry easily.
Liu Zhao stared at Eunuch Wen.
Eunuch Wen felt that he was not far from death.
Overhead, His Majesty's question came: "You said that the queen mother wants to seek justice for Princess Huyang, do you have evidence?"
evidence
Eunuch Wen was dumbfounded.
"The empress dowager was afraid of being discovered, so she didn't leave any evidence."
"Without evidence, how do I know if what you said is true or not?" Liu Zhao's face was gloomy and cold, and if there was a big disagreement, the other party's head would fall to the ground.
Liu Yi interjected, "He must be talking nonsense. Brother Huang, why bother to be polite to him and serve him directly with torture, not afraid that he won't tell the truth."
Eunuch Wen was afraid of death, so he hurriedly shouted: "Every word that this old slave said is the truth. Give this old slave a hundred courage, and he would not dare to lie to His Majesty."
Liu Zhao waved his hand to stop Liu Yi and forbid him to speak.
Liu Yi suppressed the anger in his heart.
That bald donkey who said that the Empress Dowager Pei was forced to die for the sake of Princess Huyang is crazy!
To die without hope is to die.
Empress Dowager Pei couldn't afford to be seriously ill. It was a pure illness, and it was definitely not because Huyang and Wuwang passed away one after another.
Only when you can't think about it will you worry about Huyang and Wuwang.
Liu Yi decided that Eunuch Wen was talking nonsense, but he didn't believe a single word.
"There is no evidence for what you say. If you can't produce evidence, I can only deal with you severely."
Liu Zhao gave Wen Gonggong an ultimatum.
Duke Wen trembled, his brain running at high speed in order to survive.
"There is evidence, there is evidence. The old slave has thought of it. The queen mother likes to read Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures recently, and occasionally makes annotations on them. The content of the annotations can prove that everything the old slave said is true."
"Come here, bring all the Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures from Weiyang Palace. Especially the scriptures that the Empress Dowager has read recently. Don't miss a single page."
Liu Zhao gave the order, and all the palace people moved.
Eunuch Wen was relieved and knelt on the ground, soaked through.
I hope those Buddhist scriptures can save his life.
Soon, the palace people moved the scriptures to the bedroom.
Eunuch Wen dug out a few scriptures that the Empress Dowager Pei has been holding on to recently, "There are comments from the Empress Dowager on them, please read them, Your Majesty and the Empress."
Opening the scriptures, I saw the annotations, and the handwriting should be from the Empress Dowager Pei.
After flipping through the pages, I found the evidence.
Huyang, hopeless, all appear in the comments.
Liu Zhao's eyes changed slightly, and his complexion was as ugly as ever.
Liu Yi was very curious, seeing that Liu Zhao did not object, he opened one of the books and searched quickly.
After reading the comments, he was in a bad mood.
"Mother Hou is really for Princess Huyang..."
"The hopeless bald donkey died. Why did the queen mother torment herself? It can't be guilt."
"The breath in my heart was released in an instant. The obsession that I have insisted on for several years has been completed, and my body and mind have reached the limit. No wonder I have been groggy." Gu Jiu said softly.
Everyone looked at her.
Gu Jiu held Empress Dowager Pei's wrist and checked her pulse again.
"The empress dowager lost her obsession, her subconscious mind relaxed, and she lost the motivation to keep going, so she became like this."
"Sister-in-law Huang means that the queen mother has a heart attack?" Liu Yi asked cautiously.
Gu Jiu nodded, "Almost!"
"How should I treat it?" Liu Yi asked subconsciously, and then looked confused. Xindao Huang's sister-in-law is not a doctor, so she doesn't know how to treat it.
However, to his surprise, Gu Jiu answered his question.
"It is said that heart disease needs heart medicine, but the mother's situation is the opposite. Strong obsession supports her body. When the obsession is gone, the body and spirit will soon collapse."
The implication is that Huyang's death is to seek justice for Huyang, and the obsession of letting Master Wuwang be buried with Huyang supports the lonely Queen Mother Pei.
Empress Dowager Pei was soft-hearted at Xiangguo Temple and had no hope of letting go.
There is no hope of staying alive for a day, and Empress Dowager Pei has been thinking about this matter all the time, sometimes hating it and sometimes regretting it. If you were someone else, you would be emotionally unstable and might get sick.
When it came to Empress Dowager Pei, the strong emotions were actually the motivation to support the body.
As a result, hopelessness passed away, and all obsessions were reduced to ashes.
The obsession is gone, and all the hatred and regret are gone.
I can no longer find anyone to hate, how lonely life is.
Everywhere, the loneliness and coldness emanating from the inside out crushed the Empress Dowager Pei's spirit and body.
It's better to go back!
"How could this be?" Liu Yi was stunned, "There are people talking with the empress every day to relieve boredom, and the children often go to the palace to fulfill their filial piety. Why does the empress still feel lonely?"
Gu Jiu said: "Because people in the same age group after the same mother passed away one after another. The familiar people are gone, and there are all juniors around. The juniors are doing their filial piety. It looks very lively, but it can't be said in the heart. If Huyang is alive, and the queen mother will be in high spirits when she fights with Huyang.
After Huyang's death, who has the courage to speak out like Huyang, and doesn't give the mother any face. Hu Yang's words and deeds seem to be very rude, even called outrageous. But this is exactly what the queen needs, the familiar atmosphere. When people are old, only by living in a familiar environment and surrounded by familiar atmosphere can they maintain a happy body and mind. "
Liu Yi was silent.
Gu Jiu continued: "Huyang is the empress's obsession, and hopelessness is also the empress's obsession. It is not surprising that the body and spirit collapse instantly when the obsession is gone."
"How to treat it?" Liu Zhao asked directly.
Gu Jiu shook her head, "It's hard!"
Unless Empress Dowager Pei has the obsession to live, the medicine will work.
If she doesn't want to live because she is too lonely to live, no one will help her.
That's why, the Empress Dowager Pei has been in a daze, and even medicine and needles can't wake her up.
…
Empress Dowager Pei fell into a coma for three days, and the atmosphere in the palace was tense.
The Shaofu has already started secretly preparing for the funeral, and quickly prepared the supplies as soon as the funeral ceremony was held.
If something happens to Empress Dowager Pei, the funeral supplies will be available immediately.
On the fourth day, Empress Dowager Pei finally opened her eyes.
"Mother, are you awake?"
Liu Zhao's eyes were bloodshot.
Since Empress Dowager Pei fell into a coma, he hasn't been able to take a good rest.
"Where's the imperial doctor? Hurry up and check on the empress dowager."
A group of imperial physicians rushed into the bedroom to diagnose and prescribe the Empress Dowager Pei's pulse.
The situation is not good!
The imperial doctors looked as pale as ghosts, and they dared not speak.
Just when the Empress Empress Gu Jiu came in, seeing the imperial doctor's face, she understood everything in her heart.
She waved her hand, "Let's all back down."
If the imperial physician is granted amnesty, it is still the kindness of the empress.
Gu Jiu came to the bed, sat down on the round stool, and naturally put his hand on Queen Mother Pei's wrist.
No wonder the imperial physicians look ghostly, Empress Dowager Pei's time is numbered.
Gu Jiu reminded Liu Zhao in a low voice, "If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it. I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future."
Liu Zhao's heart was shocked, and he looked at her in disbelief.
Gu Jiu nodded slightly, and gave him an affirmative answer.
Liu Zhao's heart felt stuffy, his throat rolled, and he couldn't speak for a while.
Obviously so disgusted, obviously the relationship between mother and child is so bad, but when the time comes to say goodbye, all kinds of feelings come to my heart.
Any enmity, any resentment, are all fleeting, not worth mentioning.
Only the mother-child relationship is the most real
"Queen!"
Liu Zhao choked up, and his heart felt tight.
Gu Jiu patted him on the shoulder, and whispered to the palace servants, "Go and invite Prince Duan here."
Immediately afterwards, Gu Jiu personally gave Empress Dowager Pei an injection to give her the strength to speak.
Empress Dowager Pei stared at Gu Jiu's needle-pricking hand with calm eyes, as if she knew that Gu Jiu was good at medicine.
Gu Jiu said: "The queen mother can try to talk."
Empress Dowager Pei tried to speak, "You, you..."
"Mother!" Liu Yi rushed in, weeping bitterly, and knelt beside the bed.
He was crying out of breath, "The mother finally woke up, and the son was almost worried to death."
Empress Dowager Pei was very, very tired.
I can't lift my strength.
She asked, "How long have you been sleeping?"
Both Liu Zhao and Liu Yi remained silent, but it was Gu Jiu who said, "I slept for four days. I woke up and fell asleep at times, but my consciousness is not clear enough."
Empress Dowager Pei said "Oh", "No wonder I vaguely feel that there are people talking around me all the time."
After saying this, Empress Dowager Pei was in a daze.
Liu Zhao asked softly: "Is there nothing the queen mother has to say to me?"
Empress Dowager Pei stretched out her hand, Gu Jiu quickly ordered the palace servants to help her up and sit down.
Empress Dowager Pei looked at Liu Zhao, "You are fine! I am not worried at all."
Liu Zhao wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
Empress Dowager Pei said to Liu Yi again: "Listen to your elder brother, do your job well and don't cause trouble for your elder brother. If you keep your duty, your elder brother will naturally not treat you badly."
Liu Yi nodded heavily, "I listen to my mother."
Empress Dowager Pei asked Liu Zhao again, "Will you take care of the fourth child?"
Liu Zhao said loudly, "Yes!"
This sound has enough power to calm the Empress Dowager Pei's heart.
Empress Dowager Pei smiled with satisfaction.
"I'm tired, you all step back. Let Eunuch Wen serve me."
"Mother's queen?" Liu Zhao and Liu Yi shouted together.
Empress Dowager Pei still smiled, "I dreamed of the late Emperor and Huyang in my dream. I am happy. Be good and don't let me down."
The hearts of the two brothers were shaken.
