Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

The palace was very quiet. He always stood quietly in the corner, unlike the living eunuch who had already fallen to the ground unconscious.

It was so quiet that it made people feel heartbroken. There was some vague sound coming from far away, but it was not obvious.

Someone walked in quickly and knelt down on one knee in front of King Dai: "Your Highness, all the people of King Yong have been executed. People have been guarded everywhere else, and no one has tried to resist for the time being."

King Dai nodded and was about to say something, when suddenly there was another series of hurried footsteps, and it was Queen Wei who came.

Queen Wei was dressing up, and it was obvious that she had never stopped, rather than just getting up when she heard the noise.

In fact, how could Queen Wei sleep at this time? She had been waiting quietly in Kunning Palace. She was completely relieved when the people below came to report that the incident was over.

This night was undoubtedly difficult for Queen Wei.

After discovering that someone was making trouble in the palace at night, some timid concubines either ordered people to come to Kunning Palace, or came in person to inquire and seek shelter. But without exception, they were all blocked by the closed gate of Kunning Palace. During this period, many innocent souls were added, who knows.

Queen Wei's face was a little pale and she was panting. It could be seen that everything that happened outside had no impact on her.

King Dai waved his hand, and the man in shining armor retreated, leaving only the mother and son in the palace.

To be correct, it should be said that there were three people, and there was another person lying on the most luxurious dragon couch in the world. He was not dead but looked like a dead person.

Not a dead person!

As a popular saying goes, when the tiger is not at home, the monkey dominates.

Facts have proved that the folk proverb is not unreasonable. If Emperor Hongjing was still well, probably nothing like tonight would have happened.

Queen Wei obviously had thousands of words to say, but when faced with this scene and her somewhat unfamiliar second son, she didn't know what to say.

"Is the queen mother coming to see the father for the last time?" It was King Dai who spoke out first.

Queen Wei was stunned for a moment, then turned her head with some difficulty to look at the man on the dragon couch.

The back bedroom of Qianqing Palace has always been a place that women in the harem cannot easily set foot in. Even Queen Wei, as the first wife of Emperor Hongjing, only stayed for a short time and was not even qualified to spend a night. There are so many concubines in the harem. If anyone has spent the night here, it should be the woman who has long since lost her beauty.

It was only after knowing this that Queen Wei made up her mind to let Concubine De die.

For a moment, Queen Wei was in a state of confusion. She seemed to be thinking a lot, but also seemed to be thinking nothing at all.

It was obvious that King Dai had lost his patience and did not want to worry about the woman's kindness at this time, so he repeated what he had just said.

It is an urging and a reminder.

"Can you..."

"No! Queen Mother!" Dai Wang said with absolute certainty. He lost his usual disguise and finally revealed the stubborn and arrogant aura in his bones. "Don't forget, there is no turning back when you shoot a bow. Now that you've done it, you can't regret it. My great-grandfather, my grandfather, and my uncles all made a desperate move. This is not only to achieve the great cause of my son, but also for the Wei family. , it’s for you, my queen mother.

"Don't forget, my father has no intention of passing the throne to his son. His preferred successor is King Jin. If King Jin ascends to the throne, how will he treat his mother? How will he treat the Wei family? Is it possible that he has no regard for the virtues of the past? Is there really no doubt about the death of the concubine? Even if there is no doubt about the matter, he should also doubt everything that the queen did to him. You have to know what King Jin has done to blackmail you. The antidote to the poison was obtained from him, or rather from the Wei family. The King of Jin has long been aware of the conspiracy behind it, and his forbearance is just for the sake of hitting the target with one blow. "

Yes, she shouldn't be a woman, and it was already agreed upon long ago.

In order to deceive the world, they did not attack His Majesty directly, but took a roundabout way. According to the plan, they will carry out their grand plan after His Majesty is unconscious, and by His Majesty's sudden death, they will leave a will to pass the throne to the acting king before leaving.

But what they never expected was that one after another people interfered, and King Jin actually used his eldest son, who was only more than three years old, to waste their time.

They tried to get some loopholes out of it, but all failed. They simply did nothing and acted directly. The only one who wasted more time was King Yong, who was already dead at this time.

Now that they have accomplished the task, by the time tomorrow dawn approaches, the news of His Majesty's grand visit will be revealed, and then everything will go according to the original plan.

There is no turning back when the bow is fired, so Your Majesty must die.

Only after death will there be a legacy.

Only then will the acting king ascend the throne, will she ascend to the position of queen mother, and will the Wei family last forever.

With chaotic thoughts, Queen Wei walked towards the dragon bed step by step.

The emperor on the dragon couch was already an old man, with wrinkles on his face, his hair and beard had long turned gray, and there were light brown streaks on his once strong and powerful palms.

Queen Wei's eyes were filled with tears, and she still vaguely remembered the wedding between him and Emperor Hongjing. He was handsome and mighty, she was shy and pretty, as beautiful as a dream.

pity……

It's a pity that they are not an ordinary couple after all. He is destined to have many women, and she is destined to just watch. She had thought that one day he would come back to her, she was his queen after all.

But this belief gradually faded as time went by.

He is the emperor and she is the empress. They are no longer husband and wife.

……

Empress Wei suddenly turned around and left without looking back.

She was dressed up today. On her bright red golden phoenix robe, the golden phoenix embroidered with wings spread out vividly. Her long skirt dragged on the ground and soon disappeared from sight.

The King of Dai looked back at the dragon couch, raised his hand and waved, and a ghost-like person came to the dragon couch.

The person picked up a soft pillow from the dragon couch and covered the person lying on it. The person lying on the dragon couch was originally silent, but suddenly struggled a little, but it was very weak and soon there was no sound.

The person covered for a while before letting go, and was sweating profusely. But he didn't bother to wipe it off. He reached out to feel the other person's breath and came to the side of the King of Dai.

"Your Highness, he is dead."

The King of Dai nodded, and did not stay for long. He just said that everything was arranged, and left in a hurry.

When Yao Niang felt that there was no one around, her heart subconsciously tightened.

But she could see a faint light outside the curtain. She picked up the clothes on the bed and put them on, then got off the bed and lifted the curtain to look outside.

The light was reflected from outside the screen, a hazy light, and there was a thin figure on the screen, with long hair scattered behind him, and a bamboo-like figure, as if sitting.

There was a person standing in front of him, and the two were talking. Because the voices were very low, Yao Niang couldn't hear clearly inside. But as long as she saw the figure on the screen, she felt full of peace.

She didn't go out either, but leaned on the pillars of the Babu bed and looked outside.

It was like watching a shadow play, but unfortunately, except for the occasional flickering of the candlelight, the two figures would shake a little, but most of the time they were motionless, as if they were not tired.

Finally, the standing person withdrew, and the sitting person suddenly moved. The figure on the screen flashed and passed through the screen and came in.

As soon as the King of Jin walked in, he saw her standing there, with her long smooth hair draped behind her head, wearing only a light green nightgown. She was tender and small, like a lost jade rabbit.

"Why aren't you sleeping?"

She seemed a little embarrassed to be caught peeking, and rubbed her eyes: "I woke up and saw you were not there. Did something happen?"

"Nothing."

"Don't hide it from me, something must have happened."

The King of Jin came over, put his arm around her waist and walked towards the bed, "Nothing, something may have happened in the palace."

"What happened?"

"I don't know what happened, I should know after dawn."

The King of Jin did not have the opportunity to wait until dawn, and news came before the hour of Mao.

It turned out that the Meridian Gate was opened at the hour of Yin, and the civil and military officials who came to the court entered from the Meridian Gate, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, and went to the Taihe Gate. But today, when the time came, there was no drum or bell, and the palace gate was not opened, and the officials who came to the court were all blocked outside.

Just as everyone was discussing, the palace gate opened, and several imperial guards came out with sad faces, asking several important ministers headed by Chen Ge Lao to enter the palace.

Because the situation was really strange, Chen Ge Lao and others were unwilling to enter the palace without knowing what happened. These people had no choice but to tell the truth, it turned out that Emperor Hongjing died in the Qianqing Palace last night.

Because the incident happened suddenly, no one was mentally prepared, and the queen was extremely sad and fainted. The palace was in chaos, which delayed the opening of the palace gate.

These people spoke with conviction, and this kind of thing was not something that could be laughed at casually. Several old ministers fainted on the spot because they could not bear the stimulation, and there was crying in the scene.

After crying, they still had to ask what they should ask. Several ministers headed by Chen Ge Lao asked whether His Majesty had left a will and what the situation in the palace was like now.

But this kind of thing is not something that a few imperial guards can answer. After some discussion, dozens of important officials decided to go to the palace in person, while others returned to their own houses to wait for the news of the death. Naturally, the news spread.

Yao Niang had not slept well all night, so she sat up when Prince Jin got up.

When she heard Fu Cheng come to report that Emperor Hongjing had passed away, Yao Niang was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time. She subconsciously said that she had kept this secret from Xiaobao in advance and couldn't let him know.

The two got up in a hurry, and the people sent by Prince Jin to the palace had returned.

The news was that after Chen Ge Lao and others entered the palace, the gate of the palace was closed again and guarded tightly.
