Chapter 62 Death of the Empress Dowager

A group of imperial doctors were called into the palace one after another, and while Yun Changling was busy with Yun Changqing's injury, Tong Yutai came to report that the queen mother had been assassinated and died on the spot, and even made him sit on the stool for a long time without responding.

Jinyue Yalan and Xie Jiu came over at the same time. Xie Jiu had no feelings for Jinyue Yue, and he didn't feel uncomfortable. He just wanted to think about Yun Changling's mood after learning about the incident, so he came to take a look.But for Jinyue Yalan, Jinyue Yue is her aunt, and she has promoted herself a lot, and losing the shelter of this big tree in an instant made her worry about her future journey.

"How is the Empress Dowager? Who is on duty at the Tong Yu Terrace tonight?" Seeing the two of them, Yun Changling immediately asked.

Jinyue Yalan said, "Your Majesty, my condolences have changed. The queen mother has already gone."

"You..." Yun Changling slammed his sleeves and went straight to the copper bowl platform.

When they arrived, the Bronze Yutai was heavily guarded, and all the people who participated in the banquet did not leave, and they were all waiting tremblingly.

"Hong Fusheng, King Yue, how do you arrange the guards for tonight? Are all the Yulin soldiers eating nothing?" Yun Changling pointed to the 40-year-old Hong Fusheng and Yun Changfeng and asked.

Yun Changfeng's hands were already sweating, and he didn't know why this happened suddenly tonight, and he didn't even notice it.He knew Yun Changqing's plan, so what went wrong?Ever since he received the news that Rong Zhen was dead, he has been standing still and waiting for his body to retreat, but who is going to kill Jin Yue?

Hong Fusheng trembled and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I...I don't know," he knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Yun Changfeng gave him a sideways look, thinking that tonight he would definitely not get someone to appease Yun Changling and none of them would be able to leave. If that was the case, then he couldn't be blamed. There are not many people who dare to murder on the bronze Yutai, this Master Hong..."

Yun Changling said, "Dongfangnan came out to take charge of this case. You must give me an explanation before dawn, otherwise... none of you will be able to get out."

Yun Changling's anger passed, and he was sent back to Linglong Palace by Yulin Army to wait for safety.

After the person left, Yun Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and walked to Dongfangnan, who was worried, "How do we investigate this case? The Queen Mother sat alone in the curtain, and no one went in..."

Dongfangnan University doesn't need to worry about other things, it's just that things are much more difficult when you are next to the queen mother, and it is really difficult to give an answer before dawn.He looked up and looked up, very hesitant.

The ministers who were placed on the table did not dare to speak nonsense at the moment, only a few ministers who were in the arms were still lightly deliberating.

Unfortunately, Gongsun Huiqin was sitting with Li Yang, Meng Xian, Chu Huaijing, Yun Changfeng and Li Hanlian. He was silent, like a transparent person, no one cared about him.

In the middle of the night, people here did not dare to fall asleep, and looked at each other with their eyes open. Slowly, the atmosphere began to change a lot.

And Dongfangnan also sat down to drink tea, picked up a cup and drank it, and said earnestly, "Heaven is going to kill me, Dongfangnan." As he spoke, he put down the teacup angrily, and frowned with thick eyebrows.

Meng Xian said, "Siqing, if your mind is disturbed, your mind will be uncertain. Don't be impatient."

"I have checked the queen mother's fruit diet and drinking, and there is nothing unusual in it. According to his analysis, the queen mother's death was caused by medicine."

Chu Huaijing said impatiently, "Dongfang, don't worry, we are all here to accompany you? Don't worry. Anyway, there is always someone to take the place of the dead."

Liyang, Meng Xian, and Dongfangnan glanced at Chu Huaijing at the same time, and he dared to say that. The silent Yun Changfeng looked at Gongsun Huiqin and asked, "My lord, what do you think?"

A few people turned their attention to Gongsun Huiqin in an instant. Gongsun Huiqin seemed to know everything calmly. He glanced at everyone and said nothing. He stood up and said, "Your Lao Siqing will take a look at the situation inside the curtain with me."

"What can you know? Just your old, dim-sighted one." Chu Huaijing said disdainfully.

Li Yang tapped his fingers, looking at Gongsun Huiqin's face that has never changed for thousands of years, under the light, his temples have turned white, he is much older, even older than him.But it was also this person who remained indifferent all his life, neither happy nor angry, neither sad nor happy, neither surprised nor surprised, said he was cunning like a fox but did not do anything evil, said he had a clear mind but did not practice the way of a virtuous minister.

Gongsun Huiqin didn't change at all, he just turned around and walked towards that side, Dongfangnan followed suspiciously.

At dawn, Yun Changling was sitting in the Linglong Hall with his head propped up. He didn't have to go to court today, but his hair was still grey. The attendant thanked him and said, "Changling, you have gray hair."

Yun Chang said in a spirited voice, "It's blue silk in the morning and snow in the evening, what's so surprising?"

Yun Changling's tone was flat, like an old man who sees through the world of mortals and has become indifferent to the world.Xie Jiu glanced at Yun Changqing who hadn't woken up before saying, "Is it because of Prince Xian?"

"How about a wise gentleman? How about a foolish monarch?" Yun Changling smiled, "But you can't use your own emotions to make your own choices."

Xie Jiu gradually understood, thinking that it must have something to do with Yun Changqing and Jin Yueyue, he stretched out his hand to help him to the side of the small couch, and asked Tang Lin to prepare "Everyone has their own place, when a person sits on the highest seat in the world When taking a position, there are certain things that must be accepted or rejected, and you can’t help yourself. Chang Ling, since you have chosen this position, why should you regret it now?”

The dazed Yun Changling lay down, put his hand on his forehead and murmured, "Jiu'er, you know, since I was young, I couldn't choose my own will...My whole life was arranged by my mother, she planned my life. Life... There are some things that should be accepted but rejected, and what should be rejected but accepted. The throne, hehe! So tired."

"Maybe you're doing the right thing."

"But I hurt my dearest... Is it right or wrong? For my own selfishness, I betrayed him and deceived myself."

Some words came to Xie Jiu's heart, and he attached his chest with compassion, and said softly, "Whether it's wrong or right, I'll be with you, you won't be alone."

Being on the throne is not just lonely?Yun Changling sneered, reaching out to wrap his arms around Xie Jiu's body to relieve the cold.

Gongsun returned to the piano and strolled back, his figure looked like a big tree about to fall, very lonely under the morning sun...

"Jiang Ming, wait." Liyang caught up with him, but Gongsun Huiqin still didn't stop, nor did he speed up.

"Si Qing still don't know how to explain to the king?"

Liyang said, "Why do you want to help us? Such a good opportunity to overthrow us, why didn't you use your resourcefulness to get rid of us?"

The corner of Gongsun Huiqin's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "You only think about intrigue, I only want to be wise and protect myself. These years, you have not brought this old man down. Now, you are in danger, and this old man does not want to repay you."

Gongsun Huiqin has not changed, he is a quiet bystander, these years have passed, he is still standing firmly in the court, but how smart he is, now, he does not even have the heart to take revenge on them... Whether it is to see their pity or ridicule their incompetence? "Are you ridiculing that you have still stood firm in the court for many years, or... feel pitiful."

Li Yang thought so, but he had no choice but to say, "You still refuse to let go of your suspicions, always thinking that everyone is threatening you... This time, I am helping myself, and I will see you if I don't go back to the house to rest my old bones." Tomorrow's sun is gone."

"Jiang Ming, you and I are masters"

"That's right! Everyone is their master." Gongsun Huiqin interrupted him, "Go back earlier, everyone is old and can't bear torment."

"Jiang Ming, I just want to ask you one question? Have you plotted against me all these years?"

"The past is not mentioned now." Gongsun said back to the piano.

Liyang is depressed.

On the same day, Yun Changling executed Hong Fusheng, imprisoned the leader of the Habayashi Army on duty, and executed the servant Gong Bi, and left Dongfangnan and Li Lang to do the rest.

The court has been extremely quiet these past few days, and there have been fewer arguments, and Rong Zhen's crimes have been announced to the world, causing a lot of trouble among the people, who are thinking about this birthday rebellion.

And Jinchu announced the death of the Empress Dowager on the grounds of her birthday.

When Yun Changqing woke up, he had already been sent back to the palace. Yun Changling personally sent him back that day, and stayed in the palace for one night to talk with Yun Changqing.When he heard him calling Shen Ying in dream language, he went out to drink a glass of wine before falling asleep.

When Rong Jiu came over, he stretched out his hand and raised the curtain to look at Yun Changqing, who was still resting, and stood there for half an hour.

Yun Changqing saw him as soon as he opened his eyes, and was in a terrible mood, "Rong Jiu, who allowed you to come in?"

"The subordinate just wants to wake up the prince, the sun is drying his ass."

Yun Changqing glanced at him, and struggled to prop up his upper body, while Rong Jiu stood leaning against the bed rail without helping him. "Did you shoot that arrow?"

"The prince just woke up and asked these words seems very urgent."

Yun Changqing said with a straight face, "Yes or no?"

"Yes."

"Why? Are you going to kill me or Yun Changling?" It was Rong Jiu, how did he know?And, why would he do it?

Rong Jiu said, "I was just following orders, I didn't expect the prince to block that arrow for Yun Changling."

Yun Changqing smiled wryly. He almost lost his life because of Rong Jiu, "Who gave you the order?"

"No comment."

"You...Okay, then you can go, you are not needed here."

Rong Jiu stood up straight, and rudely pushed Yun Changqing down, causing Yun Changqing to think that... Immediately raised his hand to hit someone, but unexpectedly touched the wound, he gasped in pain.

"My lord, don't move, I'll give you medicine." Rong Jiu said seriously.

"Is there anyone who takes medicine like you?"

Xu Shi Rongjiu felt Yun Changqing's pain, didn't continue to speak, got up to find the medicine box, Yun Changqing who was freed didn't get up, just covered his left shoulder and frowned.

Rong Jiu seems to often give medicine to people, and the movements are very familiar, and he doesn't even touch Yun Changqing, which makes him have a new view on him.However, he also wanted to take the opportunity to ask something, "Did you kill the Queen Mother?"

Rong Jiu who applied the medicine was very serious. Although Yun Changqing showed half of his body, he didn't care about it. When Yun Changqing asked about this matter, he also said calmly, "Why does the prince think it was done by his subordinates?"

"You didn't hesitate to kill the King of Chu, but you assassinated Yun Changling that night to get rid of the Empress Dowager, don't you dare?"

"There are people who want the Queen Mother to die more than anyone else."

Yun Changqing was slightly taken aback.

After tens of thousands of medicines, Rong Jiu went out, and Yun Changqing called Xu Wen to sit in the room and talk.

Because Rong Zhen's many years of planning were in vain, Xu Wen aged a lot overnight, and now the person sitting in front of Yun Changqing is more of an old man, already feeling extremely desperate for the future and has no intention of living.

"Uncle Xu, the deal is done. Although uncle is dead, we are all still alive."

Xu Wendao: "20 years of forbearance and planning... overnight, everything was lost. The country's high hopes are exhausted."

Yun Changqing, who was the destroyer of the whole plan that night, hid a lot of helplessness in his heart. His round would destroy the whole Hongkui. That day."

"But some people's hearts are already dead." Xu Wenhong looked at Yun Changqing with red eyes, "We have been struggling for so many years, all because of you, but you instigated rebellion. Your uncle died with nothing to rest in peace. So many people, how many people are there? One who dies willingly... dies without complaint."

"Uncle Xu, I have my own helplessness... My uncle's rebellion will involve Hongkui this time, and Hongkui's end will not be long. Trust me, Uncle Xu, I will definitely not let you down."

Now, Xu Wen can't listen to anything. He looked at Yun Changqing, who was fortunate enough to take care of him, with grief and indignation, "What can you do? You refused all kinds of persuasion before to rebel, but you suddenly agreed not long ago." , Actually, in your heart you just want to be an undercover agent for the enemy, right! Now, you can see that Yun Changling has ordered Chen Ming to go to Hongkui to take back the territory... This is all you want."

"..." Yun Changqing, who was scolded, swallowed all the words and didn't say any more.

The two were silent for a long time, Xu Wen left here dejectedly, and Yun Changqing also fell into another situation.

Yun Changqing stayed there until the afternoon and dusk before going out, wanting to get some air and make himself feel better.But as soon as he went out, he saw the golden monkey rushing over, "The prince has something serious."

"Ok?"

The golden monkey panted and pointed in one direction, saying, "Uncle Xu committed suicide by taking poison."

A sentence hit Yun Changqing like a bolt from the blue, and he ran over immediately. When he entered, he saw Xu Wen sitting on a chair with a cup in his hand, and his eyes were open like Rong Zhen, with the old man in his eyes. tears.

"Just now Uncle Xu said he wanted a glass of wine, and asked me to bring him a glass of wine. Seeing that his complexion was not good, I thought something unpleasant had happened, and wanted to drink away my sorrow, so I went to find a jug of wine. But wait Uncle Xu has been like this since the little one came over." Jin Hou also felt a little heartbroken about Xu Wen's sudden death, he was the oldest person in the palace, he was gentle with others, and he was very good to him.It is still hard to accept that a person is gone like this.

Yun Changqing approached, couldn't bear to look into his eyes, and stretched out his hand to help lower his eyelids, "Uncle Xu, I will go down this road." Then, he turned around and said, "Bury Uncle Xu well, just say that he goes back to his hometown. gone."

"Yes."

After leaving the room, Yun Changqing stood in the courtyard looking at the deep blue sky thoughtfully.

That night, Rong Jiu walked up to him and said, "Director Xu died of homicide."

"I'm an executioner, why do you lie to me again?" Yun Changqing murmured.

Xu didn't want to see Yun Changqing, who was sunk because of Rong Zhen and Xu Wen's death. Rong Jiu asked him to look at him, and said, "Even if you didn't instigate rebellion, I will let you instigate rebellion. For the sake of the overall situation, you must do this." ...This road is only a constant betrayal, constant involuntary, if you are not determined, you still have a chance to stop now...but how do you face the person who died for you?"

"I also want to live an ordinary life, but Yun Changling forced me," Yun Changqing broke away from Rong Jiu's restraint, angrily angrily "I am Hongkui's hope, but I have always been loyal to the Tang Kingdom and never I thought about treason...but he pushed me step by step to a desperate situation. Uncle and Uncle Xu seemed to be kind to me, but only because of Hongkui. They all wanted me to go on this road. I betrayed Hongkui, I betrayed Tang, I also betrayed myself, and I failed many people's hopes, but I couldn't even get the person I like the most."

Rong Jiu was slightly taken aback.

"Since he left, I have made up my mind to fight back. Although this may make us go farther and farther, and even fight each other, I am not afraid. Now, everyone is dead, and everyone who can help me is dead. " Yun Changqing looked at the night sky angrily, and began to hate Yun Changling, "Yun Changling, I treated him with all my heart and soul, but he even wanted to crush the red sunflower for me."

Rong Jiu said, "I'll help you, Yun Changqing, and I'll help you the rest of the way."

"Hmph!" Yun Changqing felt ridiculous, "You are just a killer, what can you do for me? Kill people? Do you know how many thorns there are on this road? Almost all my wings have been removed... What can you do?"

"I'll guarantee you a smooth rise and a skyrocketing sky."

Rising to the top?Yun Changqing looked at Rong Jiu.
