MTL - Princess a Lives By Kissing Me Every Day-Chapter 109
Not long after the emperor woke up, he didn't know many things clearly, so he had to rely on the queen to dictate to him.
Including what major events happened in the court hall, what kind of changes occurred in the personnel, and naturally, it also explained why Xu Xianshi suddenly disappeared.
It turned out that one place was about to face a disaster, master Xu Xian calculated this, and couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so he asked for orders to leave the capital to save everyone from the fire and water.
"The immortal master left a message, and he will return to the palace immediately after this matter is resolved." The queen said softly, she had been serving by the bed these days, a gentle smile rarely appeared on the corner of her lips, "Your Majesty, don't worry."
"That's good." The emperor believed her, nodded immediately, and did not ask any more questions.
Ever since the little princess passed away, the queen has been depressed and unhappy, and the emperor is extremely anxious but helpless. He tried his best to make her happy but still got nothing, which is really worrying.
He didn't know when it started, but he never saw her smile again, and it was rare to see her today, which made the emperor look a little crazy.
He was intoxicated by the empress's warmth, fearing that what he saw before him was nothing more than a big dream, he immediately took her hand and held it tightly in his palm. Such a behavior obviously lacked the calmness of being an emperor, but also vaguely brought a little youth The appearance of time.
"The empress is so virtuous, it has always been my luck to marry you." He said, when he looked up at her, he still felt happy and excited, and his memory suddenly went back to the day of the big wedding, when he carried a big sedan chair to marry her The moment when you are a princess.
At that moment, he thought that he had finally found the support of his life, no matter when, no matter what happened, he would always be with her forever. Unexpectedly, time flies, so many years have passed in a blink of an eye, even though the time has changed, the queen is still with her now. by my side.
He has always felt that the queen is the only softness and warmth in his heart, he loves her deeply, and so does she.
Until today, Qin Yuci suddenly heard all kinds of cause and effect, everything he had never heard or seen or seen—
She said that Xu Xianshi did not leave the capital, but was conspired by the Queen and Qin Yuewei and imprisoned, and now he has been tortured in a terrible way.
She said that although your illness is very strange, it is not impossible to find the source, and the culprit is the Sulan that the queen personally brings to you every day.
She said that the reason why the empress elected Qin Yuewei to the throne was not for the consideration of Chaotang and Dazhao, but for her own self-interest. Manipulating and controlling her behind the scenes, she made the Xiao family immortal for generations to come and hold on to the power forever.
She also said that the reason why the queen married you was because she was forced by her family to come here for power and status. In fact, she already had someone in mind long before she met you.
She really said a lot.
At first, the emperor only thought she was talking nonsense, but gradually his anger surged up, and when he was about to explode, he suddenly heard the words of the person he loves, for some reason, he was subconsciously stung a little, and then said: "Shut up!"
"Qin Yuci, do you know what you're talking about?!" He said, finally unable to maintain his usual peaceful appearance, he became furious, "I see that you've been drenched in the rain, and you're uttering wild words frequently!"
"Everything my son said is true." Qin Yuci raised his eyes to look at him, and his tone was as firm and calm as before, "If the father doesn't believe it, you can send someone to verify it yourself."
"Testing what?" The emperor sneered and sneered, "Don't you think I don't know that you are sowing discord?"
He said that even though he was really tired and weak, he still tried to sit up straight and preserve the face and dignity of the emperor: "He still tried to use Su Lan as an excuse to frame the queen. If it is really poisonous, why is it that I was the only one who was poisoned? The queen knows it too Drinking it every day, never..."
"Because Su Lan is quite miraculous." Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Qin Yuci. Her eyes were cold, her voice was piercing, and what she said was quite amazing.
"Toxicity varies with freshness."
Before the banquet was over, without the permission of the Holy Majesty, none of the ministers attending the banquet dared to leave without authorization, and now they have been properly placed elsewhere.
Only Lin Moran was still standing near the palace gate and waiting anxiously. During the period, the palace gate opened several times, but Qin Yuci never came out. Instead, many imperial doctors came one after another. Even Xu Yi was taken out of the prison , are included together.
So she quickly understood that this was the time to start to test Su Lan's toxicity.
The imperial physician in the palace was originally highly skilled in medical treatment, plus Xu Yi from the folk who traveled all over the world was judged together, supplemented by tests and verifications one after another, the results should be very obvious.
The mouse that ate fresh Sulan died after a while.
How did he die...
The emperor opened his eyes wide and didn't say a word for a long time, just froze in place.
"Sulan was born in Yanshan Mountain. Due to the steep terrain and the small number, it is difficult for ordinary people to see it." Qin Yuci stood on the side and said slowly, "But some local people who have lived here for generations have seen and heard about it. There have been some incidents of accidental poisoning due to eating fresh Sulan."
"If father doesn't believe it, he should send others to investigate again."
After speaking, there was no response for a long time.
As a monarch, he has always been used to being the person who looks down on others from a high position. No matter who he is or what his status is, there is no secret at all in front of him.
He thought he could see through everything, but until today, he suddenly felt a little more hesitant and timid in his heart, and even felt that all the eyes around him turned into scrutiny of him, as if he was the one who exposed everything that person.
He couldn't help but feel annoyed and panicked. Regardless of his physical condition, he stood up forcefully, but he had to hold on to the handrail beside him for support. He looked really embarrassed: "Get out, get out for me!"
"Yes!" The imperial doctor answered loudly one after another, then turned around and left quickly as if fleeing, the hall quickly returned to calm, leaving only Qin Yuci still standing upright, not moving for a long time.
"Why don't you leave?" The emperor sneered, "Stay here to see my joke?"
"I don't dare." Qin Yuci replied, his demeanor remained unchanged, and his tone remained calm, "It's just because the story hasn't been finished yet."
She said, as if she wanted to take off all the scars at the same time, exposing all the rot and rottenness hidden in it: "On this trip, my son not only risked his life to find Su Lanhua back, but also because he was chased and killed all the way, he happened to break into A deep forest on the outskirts of Beijing."
"Guess father, what did my son see?"
What.
The emperor dared not guess.
He couldn't help but fell silent. The dignified son of heaven was forced to be speechless by his own daughter-in-law. Qin Yuci also stood silently looking at him from a distance. Time passed slowly like this. After an unknown amount of time, she finally I opened my mouth.
He said softly: "It's a grave, hidden deep in the woods, very deep."
"But the handwriting carved on the tomb is really very familiar. I recognized it as the handwriting of the empress at a glance, but the person buried in the tomb is neither relative nor friend, and I have never even heard of her name."
"Yes, who is it?" The emperor subconsciously opened his eyes wide.
"Gu Zishou." Qin Yuci opened his lips and spit out a few words softly.
Gu Zishou, Gu Zishou...
The emperor was taken aback when he heard the words, the name Gu Zishou was like a curse, it went over and over again in his mind, forcing him to recall his appearance and identity.
This person is a painter. Before Empress Xiao married the emperor and became the crown princess, he had been painting for Xiao's mansion. Later, he was valued by the emperor and was promoted to be an imperial painter one after another. He often worked hard for the royal family.
He painted flowers and plants, insects and fish, as well as portraits of the empress dowager and the emperor. Zhang Zhang was so lifelike that it was quite admirable.
So one day, the emperor called the queen on a whim, hoping that Gu Zishou could draw a portrait of himself and the queen together, and record the beautiful moments between him and the queen.
"My queen is very beautiful, like a banished fairy in the sky." He smiled, raised his hand to hold the queen's hand tightly, his eyes were full of joy and appreciation, "If it wasn't for me, how could you have such a blessing to see her?"
He vaguely remembered that the queen was not happy at that time.
The emperor was startled, thinking that he hadn't said enough, and then he spoke again, wishing he could hold his heart in front of her, and tell her to see how much he admired and liked her, but no matter what he did, she couldn't help it that day. And never smiled.
The emperor couldn't help being a little annoyed, thinking that she would be happy after the painter finished the painting, so he waited quietly, and the portrait was finally completed after a long time.
Unexpectedly, looking down, Gu Zishou actually made him a rather ugly painting. He painted the queen extremely beautifully, but deliberately uglified his appearance, making him look unsightly.
The emperor was furious when he saw this, and immediately ordered someone to take him down. He wanted his life, but because he had painted for the Xiao Mansion and the royal family for so long in the past, he was spared from death in the end. border.
Afterwards, he didn't know what kind of person this person was. He only remembered that from that day on, the queen seemed to be unhappy every day, and she didn't want to meet him easily. It wasn't until they had their second daughter-in-law that the situation finally settled down. be improved.
The emperor was very happy, thinking that this daughter-in-law was her lucky star, so he loved her very much, and even intended to abdicate when he was old and could no longer handle the government affairs, so he abdicated and let Xian call her the king of a country.
But before this wish came true, her life stayed forever in a certain winter.
The emperor suddenly remembered too many past events, all of which were scars that he didn't want to remember, but until today, he suddenly didn't know what posture he should take, and he didn't know whether he should be sad or sad.
He just suddenly remembered that the time when the painter entered the palace for the first time seemed to be quite similar to the time when the queen was pregnant.
He also suddenly remembered that time when he was drunk, he went straight into the Queen's bedroom before he was summoned, and then he saw her holding his second daughter in his arms, and told her the story of his previous stay in the Xiao Mansion. In the story, there were parents, sisters, and the painter , she told her daughter, that was her happiest period of time.
Even when he was doing things on the bed, he looked lovingly at the Queen's eyes, but always touched a void. She was clearly looking at him, but it seemed that she had never seen him, as if there was another person hidden in her heart.
Even the Su Lan, which she loves to drink most, is a habit she did not know when she developed it. Whenever the emperor asked her, she would say that she happened to travel to Yanshan Mountain when she was young, and she was fascinated by the flower from the first time she saw it. I quite like it.
The emperor heard it in his ears and kept it in his heart. He even ordered people to visit Yanshan every year to pick Sulan and give it to her, in an attempt to win her favor for a while.
But he never thought about how dangerous the Yanshan Mountain was, and how she, a weak woman, climbed up to see the clusters of millet orchids blooming on the top of the mountain.
He never doubted her at all, and gave her enough love and trust, but he didn't expect that in the end, this love turned into a knife that stabbed him, and this trust became a sword that burned him.
"Come here." The emperor paused, and finally said hoarsely, "Please invite the queen..."
Originally, he wanted to bring her here, but in the middle of speaking, he suddenly remembered that it was still raining outside the hall, and he was afraid that she would catch cold, so he swallowed the words he hadn't finished speaking.
Finally, he raised his eyes, looked at Qin Yuci who was standing majestically in front of him, and stretched out his hand to her rarely.
"Ci'er." He said, his voice sounded weak and pitiful, "Help me up."
"Let's... go to meet your queen mother together."
