He Qutian had just died, and Duke Changde was eager to welcome the newcomer Liang. Liang gave birth to a twin in less than eight months after entering the mansion. This series of coincidences is enough to prove that Qutian's death was not an accident, but an artificial one. .
When this incident broke out, there was an uproar in the whole room. Although this man's fussing was morally corrupt, it wasn't enough to make people hate it. But if it was because of a woman outside who mutilated the wig's wife, it would be a real beast, and everyone would shout and beat him.
Emperor Qingde originally heard that Princess Duan was at odds with her biological father, and was a little dissatisfied with Princess Duan, but because the marriage was given by himself, it was not easy to attack. But as soon as this happened, Emperor Qingde read some accounts of how Changde Gongfu treated his eldest daughter-in-law harshly, and then he felt that his second daughter-in-law was really not easy.
He couldn't help but said to Concubine Jing, who was grinding himself: "I thought she was a woman who disrespected her parents, but she never thought she had such a sad past. Fortunately, Tian Qing's family cares about the younger generation and takes care of them everywhere, otherwise we are the second daughter-in-law. I'm afraid it's going to be replaced."
Concubine Jing did not look at the memorials, but said, "You don't know, Your Majesty, Heng's daughter-in-law is extremely filial, and whenever she gets something new and fun, she will send it to her concubine eagerly. Childish, I only know now that this child is afraid that he regards his concubine as his own mother and thinks about his concubine." After speaking, his eyes reddened, "For such a good child, it is too cruel to treat such a good child so harshly. already."
Emperor Qingde was very moved by what Concubine Jing said, reached out and patted her comfortably: "Now you are her mother-in-law, that is her mother, she is always thinking about her beloved concubine, one is her filial piety, and the other is because of your treatment. She is close, not only is she a good daughter-in-law, but you are also a good mother-in-law, so you have such a close look."
Concubine Jing was persuaded by Emperor Qingde to burst into tears. At this moment, the eunuch outside came to report that it was Concubine Shu who asked to see her.
Concubine Jing Gui said with a look of embarrassment: "Since my sister has something to ask the emperor to see, the concubine should avoid it."
"No need," Emperor Qingde stretched out his hand to pull Concubine Jing, not letting her go, and turned to the eunuch who reported, "Tell Concubine Shu, say that I have no time, and I will not see you."
"Your Majesty..." Before Concubine Jing could finish speaking, Emperor Qingde interrupted her.
"Concubine Ai came to see how this painting is," Emperor Qingde opened a scroll of painting, and Concubine Jing admired it.
Concubine Jing smiled and took a few steps forward. After looking at it carefully, she nodded her head in admiration and said, "This painting is intertwined with mountains and rivers, the world is vast, and the painting skills are outstanding. You can also see that the person who painted it has a broad mind. I don't know who painted it. If the emperor can call this person into officialdom, he must be the pillar of the country."
"Where is the pillar of the country, it's just what I did in my spare time," Emperor Qingde proudly put his hands behind his back, and saw the look of surprise and admiration on the face of Concubine Jing, and said happily, "Why don't I teach you how to paint."
Concubine Jing naturally followed the trend and started painting with Emperor Qingde holding her hand.
Looking at the peony flowers gradually taking shape under the pen, Concubine Jing looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
Concubine Shu looked at the closed gate of the palace, and turned around unwillingly to leave slowly. What if there was no free time, how could that slut Wei Shi accompany the imperial front
More than 20 years ago, Wei Wei did not fascinate the emperor, is it possible that Wei Wei has hooked the emperor more than 20 years later? Don't say she doesn't believe this kind of thing, no one will believe it if you tell it to.
Because of the mystery of the cause of Qutian's death and the messy things in the mansion of Changde, Emperor Qingde was angry and wanted to execute Changde. He was exempted from the death penalty, but he took back the title of the Qu family, demoted the family of the Duke Changde to commoners, and the Duke of Changde was sent to the prison. .
As for the small family of the Liang family, Emperor Qingde didn't need to spend much energy at all. He directly sealed the house of the Liang family, wiped off Liang Hong's fame, and stated that within three generations of the Qu family and the Liang family, they could not Take the exam again.
The Qu family that attracted ups and downs in the capital just collapsed. Some folks even began to write a lot of playbooks based on the Changde Gongfu, including how a cool boy killed his wife and remarried, and how a cruel father and stepmother tortured their wives. Women, and even how the original wife endured humiliation and burdened, and finally married Ruyi Langjun and the like.
Anyway, no matter how the playbook is changed, Duke Chang De and the Liang Clan will always be the most vicious villains, and Qu Qing Ju is a tormented little cabbage.
After flipping through the story of how she married Ruyi's husband beautifully, and contemptuously despised her family's bad guys, Qu Qing Ju laughed and burst into tears. Sure enough, opera comes from life and is higher than life.
What do you mean by taking the twelve-carried golden sedan chair by yourself, and what do you mean by the anger of the prince, pulling the entire Gongye's mansion out to fight the boards, this kind of plot is too domineering.
Seeing that Wang Fei was in tears when she read the words, Mu Jin stepped forward and pressed her stomach carefully, and said with a smile: "Be careful, Wang Fei, don't be distracted when you laugh, my servant heard a version before, I don't know if Wang Fei wants to listen to it. ."
"Come and listen," Qu Qing Ju asked enthusiastically after drinking a sip of tea.
Finally, after listening to Mujin's speech, Qu Qingju felt that the creative ability of the ancients was actually very powerful.
The gist of the story is that she, a little cabbage, went to buy bean buns for Liang Shi in the snow in the winter. She was wearing thin clothes and walked with difficulty in the cold wind. She ran into Duan Wang riding a white horse. Write a terrific love story.
The logic of this story is simply eaten by the author. Liang's family does not eat bird's nest and bean buns in the winter? And in that kind of weather, who would set up a stall to sell bean buns, and even if someone sold them, who would buy them? The most amazing thing is that, under such a heavy snow, why did He Heng go out in a sedan chair or a carriage
Just when Qu Qing Ju was about to laugh at herself silly, Ming He suddenly came over and said that the lord was going to take her out of the house. Although Qu Qing Ju didn't understand why, but seeing Ming He's appearance, she seemed a little anxious. She glanced at herself. There was nothing wrong with the clothes on his body, and he went out with Ming He without changing his clothes.
After getting into the carriage of the palace, Qu Qing Ju saw that He Heng was already sitting inside, and asked with some doubts, "My lord, where are we going?"
"It's the end of the play, what's the point of not letting you watch the ending?" He Heng smiled, took her hand and said to the groom who was driving the carriage outside, "Go to the mansion of Changde."
Qu Qing Ju looked at He Heng in surprise. After the carriage started to move, she said, "Why did your lord think of taking me there?"
"Today, all the people in Changde's mansion were kicked out. After all, it's where you lived. I'll let you see what's wrong before closing the mansion," He Heng said with a smile, "I know, Qing Ju is nostalgic. man of."
Listening to He Heng's high-sounding talk about watching the fun, Qu Qing Ju followed with a smile and said, "Your Highness is right, I am a person who misses the old." It makes sense that the clothes are not as good as the new ones.
When the carriage came to the gate of Changde Gongfu, the gate of Changde Gongfu was in chaos.
Ming He lifted the curtain in front of the carriage in the first half, just so that the two masters in the carriage could see the good show in front of the mansion.
The uniformed guards forcibly escorted some people who were reluctant to leave. There were still some clothes, clothes and other items scattered on the ground. Many servants left in dejection. When they saw the carriage of Prince Duan’s mansion, they did not forget to get on carefully. After a salute, he walked away in a hurry.
Qu Qing Ju watched coldly as the second lady of the Qu family helped Mrs. Qu out of the door, and behind the two was the terrified and unwilling Mrs. Liang. Qu Wangzhi walked behind Mrs. Liang, her head down as if she had plucked her hair. Duck.
The family stood at the gate of the mansion, watching the servants who had served them leave one after another. Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people, and finally the noise turned into silence.
Old Mrs. Qu watched as the plaque on the mansion that read "Changde Gongfu" was taken down and smashed to the ground, and the vermilion gate was affixed with a seal with the official seal. After a long time, she sighed, "A sin, a sin." She pointed at Liang Shi who was wiping tears and said, "If I hadn't married you, the death star, how could my Qu family have come this far?"
Where did Mrs. Liang still hear what Mrs. Qu said, she immediately pushed back: "I'm afraid the old lady forgot, it was the master who asked his daughter-in-law to marry him into the mansion. If the old lady wants to blame me, it's better to blame the master!"
"You," Mrs. Qu was so angry that she stumbled, barely not falling because Qu Huixue was supporting her, "Is that how the Liang family taught you to be disrespectful to your elders?"
"What kind of Liang family is there now? Wasn't it implicated by your Qu family?" Mrs. Liang felt that her own family was implicated by the Qu family, and immediately said sharply, "Why does the old lady blame our Liang family instead?"
"Mother, don't say a word," Qu Wangzhi couldn't help but listen to Liang's words getting worse and worse, "Now that our family is like this, what are you still arguing about?"
"Excuse everyone, this is given to you by our princess, please accept it."
Qu Wangzhi heard that the voice did not sound like a normal man, and when he looked back, he saw a blue-robed eunuch standing behind him, holding a bag of silver in his hand. He couldn't help but look behind the eunuch, and saw a luxurious carriage parked not far away, inside the carriage, Duan Wang and the eldest sister were sitting side by side.
Because of the distance, he couldn't see the expressions of the two of them clearly, but at this moment, he felt that his whole body was in an embarrassing and embarrassing mood.
☆、83
Sometimes the most painful time for people is not that you have lost everything, but when you have lost everything and are the most desolate, the people who were originally oppressed by you stand in front of you beautifully.
Qu Wangzhi looked at the silver in the hands of the eunuch in front of him. Although he was a bit sloppy, he also knew that the amount of silver was not small, enough for ordinary people to do nothing for more than ten or twenty years. But even though he has nothing now, he doesn't want to pick up this package of money.
Liang Shi, who was wiping away tears, angrily snatched the silver from Ming He's hand, slammed it to the ground, pointed at Qu Qing Ju, who was sitting in the carriage, and said, "We don't need you to pretend to help at this time!"
Snow-white silver rolled out of the cotton purse and scattered all over the ground, making it even more dazzling in the sunlight. Seeing this scene, some people who were watching the excitement began to lower their heads and whisper.
Qu Huixue supported her grandmother and listened to the ridicule of the people around Changde's mansion. She lowered her head in embarrassment, but saw a silver ingot rolled to her feet. For some reason, she suddenly remembered that one day three years ago, the wife also threw the teacup at the feet of the eldest sister.
The cup of tea was very hot. It was early summer. She could even see the white smoke that rose when the tea was splashed on the back of the eldest sister's feet, but the eldest sister kept her head down at that time, and she couldn't see the expression on the eldest sister's face at all.
For some reason, she suddenly felt a little happy. The Liang family who had been beautiful for more than ten years, and the Liang family who treated her mother harshly, finally ended up where they are today. Thinking of this, Qu Huixue showed a smile on his face, squatted down and picked up the silver at his feet, blew the dust off the silver, and put it in the purse around his waist.
Mrs. Liang didn't notice her movements, and Mrs. Qu didn't say a word when she saw it. Although she wasn't smart, she could see the situation better than Mrs. Liang, so she wouldn't do anything that would make people gossip.
Liang Shi could never have imagined that the day after she and Qu Qingju exchanged status, the submissive girl in her memory became a high-ranking girl, but she became a lowly commoner. It came down to Qu Qingju sitting in the carriage.
Qu Qing Ju looked at Liang Shi calmly, this woman did have some beauty, but it was only a little bit. She couldn't even figure out how much Chang Degong was infatuated with her, so she would make the act of killing his wife in a frenzy. Does such a ruthless man really know what love is
Looking at Liang's faceless and irrational swearing words, Qu Qing Ju felt that the unwillingness in her heart gradually dissipated. She caressed her chest and seemed to see the lonely little girl spending her days in Changde's mansion. Day and night, I saw her marrying into the palace, seeing her resisting the approach of a man, watching her silently lying on the big carved bed and closing her eyes.
He Heng noticed that Qu Qing Ju's expression was wrong, and held her hand gently, "Qing Ju, what's the matter with you?"
Qu Qing Ju's eyes met his eyes, she laughed suddenly, and slowly shook her head, "It's fine." She turned her gaze to Mrs. Liang, bowed and walked out of the carriage, handed her hand to Hibiscus standing beside the carriage, and stepped on the wooden bench. After getting off the carriage, he walked to the embarrassed Mrs. Liang step by step, and said in a small voice, "If you keep arguing like this, you won't accumulate virtue for your children. Did no one tell you that I hold grudges?"
Liang Shi wanted to roar angrily, but she looked at the smile on Qu Qing Ju's face, but couldn't say a word. She turned to look at her son, remembering her daughter who was still serving as a concubine in Prince Rui's mansion, and gritted her teeth: "What do you want to do?"
"Guess," Qu Qing Ju took a long breath and took a few steps back, "After all, you have taken care of me for so many years, as long as I recall the past, my heart is full of emotions and I can't help myself."
"You bitch!" Mrs. Liang reached out and wanted to grab Qu Qingju's face, but was pushed away by Minghe, he said loudly, "Presumptuous, Princess Nianqu, the old lady is getting old, so I specially gave you money to live with you. Be more generous, you don’t need to be grateful, but you want to hurt the princess, your mind is really vicious.”
Seeing this, the onlookers automatically made up their minds that Princess Duan, who had been abused by Changde's mansion, sympathized with Mrs. Qu's age, and specially came to give her money. As a result, the vicious stepmother scolded her when she saw her, and did not regret it at all. meaning. It seems that this Liang family is more vicious than the rumors, and I don't know how such a kind and filial Princess Duan survived under her claws.
Qu Qing Ju looked at Mrs. Liang who was supported by Qu Wangzhi with great sadness, and said helplessly, "Since you don't welcome me, I will never appear in front of you again." She moved towards Old Madam Qu with a blessed body, " Please take care of everyone."
After doing this, Qu Qing Ju held Mu Hibiscus's hand and returned to the carriage with a very disappointed expression. After the curtain on the carriage was lowered, the feeling of loss on her face gradually disappeared without a trace, and she loved to watch it. It looks like Liang's life is worrying all day.
Maybe she has to worry every day that Princess Duan will hurt her children, maybe she lives in hatred for herself every day, but these are not important anymore.
"Go back," He Heng smiled and held her hand.
Qu Qing Ju smiled and nodded, "Go back."
The people from Duanwangfu left, and the people onlookers gradually dispersed. Before the Qu family could react, a few local hooligans suddenly ran over, picked up the silver on the ground and ran away without a trace.
Qu Wangzhi looked at the hooligans who were running away, and then looked back at his family. For a while, he felt that the world was so big that there was no place for them.
"Let's go," Mrs. Qu stomped her crutches and glanced coldly at Mrs. Liang, "What are you doing standing here? This place is not my Qu family's." After speaking, she supported Qu Hui. Snow goes.
Liang looked at her son, and in the end had no choice but to follow the old lady's pace, but every time she passed a place, many people pointed at her, and even spit on the ground after seeing her.
She looked at these people blankly, and finally realized that she was no longer a father-in-law or a wife, no more glory and wealth, she had nothing, and a daughter left by a slut wanted to plot against her.
It's over, it's over.
Spring gradually passed, and the heat of summer came slowly. At this time, Qu Qingju didn't like to go out anymore. Most of the time, she hid in a cool and ventilated room, wearing a gauze skirt and shaking a fan of the beauty group, listening to the golden calendula box poplar telling her. Big and small gossip in the capital.
A few days ago, what surprised Qu Qingju most was that Qu Huixue was brought home by a scholar who begged to marry him. Although this scholar had no father or mother, he had servants in the family. What is even more surprising is that this scholar's mother was once a friend of Qu Huixue's biological mother. After the scholar married her home, he did not treat her slowly because of the past of Changde's mansion. The husband and wife got along very well.
This incident is probably the most dramatic incident since Qu Qing Ju arrived in this era. This also just proves that sometimes life is more surprising than a small talk book. After learning about this, she asked Xiao Ganzi to send Qu Huixue a lot of suitable gifts, including a copy of the imperial examination questions and excellent answers over the years, which can also be regarded as her blessing to the husband and wife.
Qu Huixue didn't communicate with Qu Qingju frequently because of this, she just wrote a letter of thanks solemnly, and asked someone to send some fresh fruits and vegetables and her own embroidery, and then she lived a peaceful life. went.
"Princess, this is the new lily and white fungus mangosteen soup made by the following people, you can use some to cool off the heat," Yin Liu held a bowl of soup in front of Qu Qingju, took a fan from the hand of the maid next to him, and was unhappy for Qu Qingju. Slowly shaking his fan, looking at the shining white sun outside, he exhaled, "It's getting hotter and hotter today, and I don't know when it will rain."
"You just came in from outside, there is ice in the room, be careful not to get sick," Mujin pulled Yin Liu away from the ice and snatched the fan from her hand with a smile, "If you are sweating, don't smoke the princess. ."
Yin Liu immediately complained, the two of them fought for a while, Qu Qing Ju couldn't help laughing, she put down the spoon and said, "Come on, let the kitchen make you a bowl of ice-sour plum soup and block your mouths. ."
"That's good, the slave maid will stop making trouble," Mu Jin smiled and walked to Qu Qingju's side to fan her. She looked towards the door and saw Huang Yang hurried in while wiping his sweat, so she couldn't help frowning. Huang Yang is not in such a hurry to do things on weekdays. Is this something happened
"Princess, just now the prince came back and said that I'm afraid he won't return to the house in the near future," Huang Yang was covered in sweat, the back of his clothes was all wet with sweat, and he was a little out of breath when he spoke.
"Pour a bowl of herbal tea for Huang Yang," Qu Qing Ju said with a serious face, "But what happened in the palace?"
Although Huang Yang was a little concerned about his image in front of the princess, he was obviously drinking tea much faster than usual. After a bowl of tea, he wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Ming and Eunuch said that the emperor will suddenly appear in court today. I fainted, all the imperial doctors on duty in the imperial hospital have been called into the palace, and the prince is also staying in the palace at this time, because I was afraid that you would be worried, the princess, so I specially sent you a message."
Is Emperor Qingde the sister He? Qu Qing Ju frowned, feeling that He Heng was much more active today than when Emperor Qing De was ill in the past. Could it be that Emperor Qing De was a little ill this time
Looking at the maids in the house who were afraid to speak, she said solemnly: "Go on, the mansion will not entertain guests until the prince returns, but anyone who wants to go out to the mansion to do business must report to the steward for registration and when to go out. Yes, when you came back, you have to register clearly, if anyone violates it, they will be kicked out of the palace."
Huang Yang's brows twitched, suppressing the panic in his heart: "Yes, the little one will pass it on."
After Huang Yang left, Mu Jin said a little uneasy: "Princess, this matter..."
"Imperial Father is the Son of Heaven, and God will bless you," Qu Qing Ju picked up a spoon and drank a sip of lily tremella mangosteen soup, her face calmly said, "Let the people below keep their mouths shut, if I hear a word that shouldn't be said , all responsible."
"Yes," Mujin noticed the prudence of the princess, exchanged glances with Yin Liu, and hurriedly stepped out to control the people below.
A bowl of lily and white fungus mangosteen soup bottomed out. Qu Qingju took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped the corners of her mouth. She stood up and walked to the bed. A gust of wind picked up, and thick dark clouds gradually appeared in the sky, making the sky half sunny. The sight of half the dark clouds down.
"Princess, the servants thought it was going to rain." Seeing that the wind was too strong, the hosta placed her hand against the window for fear of blowing the window over and blocking the view of the princess. She looked at the sky and sighed with emotion: "With such a strong wind and thick dark clouds, the rain must be not small."
Qu Qing Ju smiled: "It doesn't matter how much rain it is, it will stop after it rains anyway. We are in the house, what are we afraid of?"
Staring at the dark clouds that were getting closer and closer, Qu Qing Ju frowned slightly, feeling uneasy in her heart.
☆、84 · Collapse
The main hall of Apocalypse Palace was very hot, but no one dared to cry out, not even to reach out to wipe the sweat on their heads. Everyone's attention was on the dragon bed, and the man lying on it tied them. honor or even life.
The few imperial physicians almost shivered after calling for their pulses, and knelt down in front of the empress with a thud, and the head of the imperial hospital said with a trembling voice: "Empress Empress, your majesty's pulse is as thin as silk, sometimes absent, sometimes ups and downs, and the ministers are incompetent. ."
"Your Majesty, isn't it too hot?" The Queen's complexion changed drastically. Although she did not understand medicine, she also knew that only those who were seriously ill and died would have a weak pulse. She looked at these imperial physicians who were clearly blue in the heat, and gritted her teeth. : "No matter what, you must wake up Your Majesty!"
The imperial physician present exchanged glances and gritted his teeth.
The queen glanced at the sleeping man on the bed, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and thought for a moment to summon the eunuch: "The emperor is seriously ill, although it is not appropriate to make a noise, but for the father, he thinks of the children, and the king Duan, who is waiting outside the palace. , King Rui, King Cheng, and Princess Jin'an were all called in. Concubine Shu Gui and Concubine Jing Gui also entered the hall to serve the sick."
Outside the Tianqi Palace, all the concubines who gave birth to children and the princesses and princes stood waiting under the scorching sun. After finally seeing an eunuch come out, their eyes that were a little dazzled by the scorching sun suddenly became more energetic.
"Pass on the Queen's will, declare the imperial concubine Jing, Concubine Shu, His Royal Highness Duan Wang, His Royal Highness Prince Rui, His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, and Princess Jin'an to serve him." in the hall.
Although the others were unwilling, they were helpless. Now that the emperor is unconscious, the queen is the biggest person in the harem. She said that no one would be allowed to enter, and who would dare to break in
The group entered the sultry hall, and Concubine Shu frowned and said, "The house is so sultry, why not use ice?"
The queen gave her a cold look: "Now that your majesty's pulse is weak, how can you use something cold? If Concubine Shu is too hot, she will go back to the bedroom to rest. I think the emperor has no shortage of people who are sick."
Concubine Shu Gui was stabbed by the Queen's words, although she felt unhappy, but because of the identity of the other party, she had no choice but to bless the Queen, "The concubine is just worried that the emperor will be overheated, and she also asked the queen to forgive the concubine and concubine's misdemeanor."
The queen glanced at her, then glanced at He Yuan next to her, no longer paying attention to her, and turned to the imperial doctor who gave the emperor acupuncture and massage, and said in a low voice: "The emperor is in critical condition this time, and his pulse is weak. ...to be well served."
The faces of the few people who came in suddenly changed their faces. The weak pulse sign meant they knew what they knew, but why did they suddenly look like this
Concubine Shu Gui is probably the most ugly person on the face. She glanced at everyone in the room. If the emperor just left, then how likely is her child to succeed him? Thinking of this, she looked at the worried He Heng with hostility. If Wei Shi's son became the emperor, where would the Dalong Dynasty have a place for their mother and son
"How could this be?" Concubine Shu's voice gradually became louder and even sharper, "Your Majesty was fine yesterday, how could you have a weak pulse?!" After speaking, she began to cry sadly, calling out to His Majesty from time to time. .
Although Concubine Jing was not like Concubine Shu, her eyes were still red, and she was crying silently. After a while, the handkerchief in her hand was soaked with tears, but she didn't realize it, she just stood beside the dragon bed and cried silently. on.
Emperor Qingde seemed to hear a sharp cry, which gave him a headache, finally opened his eyes, and saw a woman in a pink shirt kneeling in front of him. Happy with a tear-stained face. When he opened his mouth and was about to speak, he saw Concubine Jing standing at the foot of the bed with tears in her eyes. Her calm red and swollen eyes were falling on him. Even though she didn't say anything, he could feel that she was right. His own worries and concerns, and the joy of seeing him wake up.
He wanted to sit up and say that he was fine, only to realize that he couldn't move. He wanted to say a few more words, only to realize that it was difficult for him to even breathe out. He rolled his eyes and looked at the delicately dressed woman kneeling beside him. Looking at the woman who was standing at the foot of the bed, her clothes were a little messy, and even her hair was not well combed. After a long time, she closed her eyes, squeezed out a bit of strength from her body and said, "Xuan Dali Temple Tian Jinke, Ministry of Household Minister Luo Changqing, The Prime Minister Wei Wenguang, the Minister of Rites Zhang Zhucheng, and the Imperial Guard Commander Sun Zhangyou."
With just such a sentence, Emperor Qingde was out of breath. Concubine Shu, who was kneeling in front of him, gradually became cold. Her intuition told her that the man who had spoiled her for more than 20 years might be leaving her. . She was a little sad in her heart, but even more anxious. Does this man still remember the promise he made, and will he leave the throne to Yuan'er
"Your Majesty, look at Yuan'er, he has come to see you," Concubine Shu Gui got up and dragged He Yuan to the bedside, and said anxiously, "Have you forgotten, you once said that you would go to the mountain with Yuan'er, Riding, you haven't done it yet, and when you are ready, you must fulfill these promises."
Emperor Qingde looked at his favorite third son. He even changed diapers for the child, washed his feet, and played on the bed behind his back. He watched the child grow up and become a handsome young man. .
"Father," He Yuan knelt in front of Emperor Qingde's bed, his eyes reddened, "I remember everything you said, please get better soon."
Yes, he said a lot at that time, and even promised to make the third son the next emperor, but over the years, he has not made him the prince, the third son is too arrogant, he always thinks about waiting for him. It would be better to be a little more sensible. Until now, he has no strength to wait any longer.
His cloudy eyes crossed He Yuan's shoulder, and saw his second son standing silently a few steps away. This is the child Weiss gave birth to. He remembered that he had good homework, good manners, and even filial piety, and he also loved to reward him. Many things were given to this son, but nothing else was remembered.
This child was also fat and white when he was a child. He still remembers the way Wei Shi held him when he stretched out his hand to call his father.
The children are all grown up, but he is old.
"Your Majesty, the adults are here." The eunuch chief whispered.
"Xuan," Emperor Qingde said weakly, looking back.
After Tian Jinke and others entered the hall, they realized that something was wrong. When they saw the red light on their faces, their hearts throbbed, and they all knelt down, "I have seen the emperor and the queen."
Emperor Qingde did not shout, but said, "The Four Treasures of the Wenfang."
Concubine Shu opened her eyes wide and watched the eunuchs bring the four treasures of the study. She knew what the emperor was going to do, and her heart was almost in her throat.
"Zhen Nian, Tian Qing's family wrote, you all listen." Emperor Qingde's eyes slowly swept across the people in the room, and finally fell to the corner and covered his mouth. He was crying so hard that he couldn't breathe, but he didn't make a sound of respect. On the imperial concubine, he closed his eyes and opened them after a while, his eyes were already determined.
When He Yuan saw the look in his father's eyes, he faintly felt a little bad, and couldn't help but said, "What the father once said, is it okay?"
Emperor Qingde glanced at him, looked away slightly, and took a few breaths: "Since I ascended the throne, I have not been able to govern the country internally, nor the ability to expand the territory externally, but there are sons... He is pure and kind, has the virtues of the first emperor, and thinks it over and over again, only this son has the ability to rule the world, so it is passed down to the second son of the emperor, Heng, who can be enthroned on an auspicious day."
After saying these few words, Emperor Qingde was out of breath, and even his vision began to blur. He looked at the jade seal and the private seal presented to him, picked up the jade seal tremblingly, and pressed it on the imperial decree held by Tian Jinke. .
"Father!" He Yuan saw the scarlet seal of the jade seal on the imperial decree, and dared not believe it, "Why do you want to change your mind?"
Emperor Qingde ignored him and put his personal seal on the imperial decree with great difficulty. After doing all this, he seemed to have lost all his strength, and his back felt cold.
"Royal father, royal father, why!" He Yuan was about to grab the imperial edict, but was stopped by the eunuch, he turned to look at He Heng angrily, "What tricks did you play to get the imperial father to issue such a will? ?"
He Heng's eyes were slightly red and he said, "Third brother, don't make trouble now..."
"Stop pretending, you two mothers and sons have always been good at pretending, and I feel disgusted when others eat your way," He Yuan looked at Emperor Qingde angrily, "Father, is that how you treat me?"
As if Emperor Qingde couldn't hear He Yuan's noise, he stared at the foot of the bed and muttered: "Chan'er don't cry, Chan'er... I'm wrong, I'm wrong..."
Concubine Shu Gui suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Emperor Qing De in disbelief, as if she didn't know the person in front of her.
There was silence in the hall. They didn't know who the emperor was talking about, or why the emperor was wrong, but they knew that King Duan was the future emperor, and the successor had been decided, so there would be less trouble.
I don't know how long it took, maybe just a moment, when Concubine Jing walked to Emperor Qingde's side, bent down and took his hand.
Emperor Qingde looked at her with a smile at the corner of his mouth and slowly closed his eyes.
Concubine Jing's index finger trembled lightly, and her other hand was gently placed between Emperor Qingde's breath, and tears fell instantly.
"emperor!"
Concubine Shu pushed away Concubine Jing and threw herself on Emperor Qingde, crying loudly, "Your Majesty!"
The chief eunuch knelt down with a thud and shouted, "Your Majesty, you are dead!"
The people in the room knelt down like dumplings. Tian Jinke knelt down in front of Dao He Heng and held up the imperial edict: "A country cannot live without a ruler for a day. Please the emperor arrange the funeral of the late emperor, and ask the emperor to mourn."
"Kneel down and ask the emperor to mourn!" the crowd shouted loudly.
The people outside the hall cried and knelt down one after another. Whether it was real sadness or fake sadness, they were all crying out of breath at this time.
He Heng slowly stretched out his hands to take the imperial decree from Tian Jinke's hand, knelt down in front of Emperor Qingde, and kowtowed three times: "My son's qualifications are mediocre, and now I am loved by my father and emperor, I will do my best and care about the people of the world. "After the kowtow, he staggered to his feet and cried out.
The few guards who were originally guarding outside the hall, after hearing that King Duan took the throne, all retreated quietly, as if they had never appeared before.
Suddenly, a thunderstorm sounded, and the first rain of early summer finally fell.
In Prince Duan's mansion, Qu Qing Ju stood by the window, looking at the mansion immersed in the water mist, shaking his fan intermittently.
A few days ago, she noticed that He Heng and He Ming were conspiring to do something. Did they think that Emperor Qingde might die suddenly
Thinking of this, Qu Qing Ju frowned. Why did she inexplicably think about the death of Emperor Qing De? Was this overdone
☆、85. Entering the Palace
Although the storm was fierce, it stopped in the evening, and even the sun broke out of the clouds, casting a golden glow on the entire capital. Qu Qing Ju stood on the only third-floor high-rise building in the palace, squinting at the amazingly beautiful sunset, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Suddenly, a dull bell came from the direction of the palace. Because Duanwangfu was very close to the palace, she could hear the bell clearly.
Mujin and the others who were standing behind Qu Qingju's expressions changed greatly, they all knelt down with a thud, then covered their eyes, trying their best to make themselves cry a little sad. Wipe away tears.
Qu Qingju's mind buzzed, and there was a momentary blank. She looked at the direction of the palace in disbelief. The palace under the sunset seemed to be plated with a mysterious golden light. , how could it be that the emperor died
She was stunned for a while, then turned around and instructed: "Quickly go and replace all the things that should be changed in the house, and there must be no gorgeous things." Seeing Huang Yang's red eyes going downstairs, she looked down at the clothes on her body. , "Go back to the main courtyard and wait for me to change my clothes."
Although what is the situation in the palace now
