The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Chapter 297: The Emperor’s incense continues22

"You, you didn't go to the Ancestral Temple?"

"If you go, how can you hear the mother's voice?"

As the emperor said this, he grabbed the chin of the nanny and fed her the poisonous wine.

After drinking the poisonous wine, the nanny grabbed her neck desperately. She silently begged the Queen Mother for help, but all she got was indifference.

Meng Wenyao, who was protected in the emperor's arms, did not see the bleeding from the mammy's seven orifices. She said distressedly: "What does the emperor plan to do with the Queen Mother?"

The emperor looked at the Queen Mother as if she were a dead person: "There is no Queen Mother in this world."

After all, she has been through the battlefield of the harem for a long time, and the Queen Mother is still struggling with her death: "Are you going to kill your mother?"

"I am a motherless person."

After acting for a long time, Meng Wenyao was so tired that she just wanted to sleep. When she woke up, it was already the next day. She heard that the Queen Mother suddenly fell ill and was already on her deathbed. The dutiful emperor stayed by her bedside.

The Queen Mother's illness was so strange that no one could guess that the Emperor would kill his mother. They all speculated that Meng Wenyao had made the Queen Mother angry.

The emperor had no intention of blaming Meng Wenyao at all, which is very thought-provoking.

Especially the Queen, she vaguely felt that Meng Wenyao was more important in the Emperor's heart than the Queen Mother?

If this was the case, she would not sit back and wait to see whether the emperor would abolish the elders and establish younger ones in the future. She had to think of a way to try.

Looking at the closed door of the Queen Mother's palace, she tried to go in several times to attend to the illness, but was kicked out by the emperor. She was not needed here anyway, so she simply took care of other things first.

She discussed the solution with her confidant, the nanny, and asked her to send a message to Yang Qilang. She would know how much the emperor liked Meng Wenyao.

The queen's order quickly reached Yang Qilang's ears. If he was reluctant to do other things, he could easily handle the matter of taking concubines.

He quickly selected a few gifts, went to the Meng Mansion to propose marriage, and took Meng Yueling as his concubine. Regardless of the obstruction of the Meng Mansion servants, he forcibly took Meng Yueling into the carriage.

The carriage swayed along Zhuque Street in the capital, getting closer and closer to the Ruyang Marquis Mansion and the imperial palace.

With the help of the emperor's secret guards, Meng Yueling quickly broke free, jumped off the carriage and ran towards the palace.

When Yang Qilang saw that Meng Yueling dared to run away, he hadn't married his sister, so couldn't he even get her?

It was such a shame and humiliation, so I chased after him.

Meng Yueling had a waist card given by Meng Wenyao and ran into the palace unimpeded.

In the palace, the Queen Mother's illness quickly worsened, and she passed away amidst the emperor's lamentations.

While Meng Yueling and Yang Qilang were chasing each other, the death knell rang 27 times.

Meng Wenyao protected Meng Yueling in time and took her to sue the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Yang Qilang broke into my concubine's mother's house privately and forcibly took away my sister. In this broad daylight, someone actually ignored the king's law and asked the emperor to make the decision for me."

The emperor, who had just experienced the pain of losing his mother, saw that Yang Qilang had robbed a common girl and brought her to the palace. If it were not for the fact that it was not appropriate to see blood in the presence of the Queen Mother, he would have wanted to chop Yang Qilang to death with a knife.

"Yang Qilang of the Marquis of Ruyang Mansion took concubines during the national mourning period, robbed civilian girls, and was exiled for nine thousand miles."

It is said that one can reach the moon within eight thousand miles, but where will one go within nine thousand miles? Before Yang Jiulang could react, the queen had already knelt down and wailed: "Your Majesty, forgive me, Qi Lang must be drunk to be so ridiculous, Your Majesty." Happy and angry, please spare him this time."

"Drinking alcohol during national mourning will be punished by an additional level of punishment and execution can be carried out by death."

Yang Qilang finally came to his senses, his crotch was wet, and he trembled: "No, I don't want to rob the daughter of the people, it's the queen, it's the queen who sent the message to me to do this, it's the queen, it's the queen..."

At the end of the sentence, he looked a little dazed and kept talking.

The queen felt regretful now. She thought she would let Yang Jiulang snatch Meng Yueling and see how the emperor would come forward to support Meng Wenyao to judge Meng Wenyao's weight in the emperor's heart.

How did she know that the Queen Mother would die today? Otherwise, given her hundred courage, she would not dare to encourage her brother to do such a thing.

It's too late to regret!

In this situation, she could only take care of herself. She angrily scolded Yang Qilang: "Qilang, you have been fooling around since you were a child. I have advised you many times, but you have never repented. Now you dare to slander me. You are really crazy. Come on, please hurry up." Drag Yang Qilang down and execute him."

Yang Qilang wanted to say something more, but someone pouted and stopped him.

In this matter, the Queen's quick reaction and ruthless handling made everyone stunned.

Meng Yueling, who was running out of breath just now, murmured in disbelief: "Yang Qilang, you are dead, just like this?"

"If you are unwilling, how about I have someone pull him back and whip the corpse?"

"No, no need." Meng Yueling felt goosebumps all over her body, shaking her head and hiding behind Meng Wenyao.

When the Queen Mother passed away, the national mourning began. All the nobles in the city went to the palace to mourn, and they all cried as if they were mourning their heirs. During this period, the Queen cried the most sadly.

As for whether she was crying for the Queen Mother or her younger brother, Meng Wenyao didn't know. Because she was pregnant, she was exempted from keeping a vigil.

In the past, the emperor was worried that Meng Wenyao would be favored and hated by the people in the harem, so the emperor had always suppressed Meng Wenyao's status and refused to be promoted.

But outside the palace, Meng Hanlin was indeed promoted all the way up and became the Minister of Household Affairs in just a few months.

Initially, few people thought that Meng Wenyao was responsible for this incident. Everyone thought that Meng Hanlin's talent had finally been recognized by the emperor.

Ever since the emperor directly sent Yang Qilang to death for Meng Yueling, every pore in the queen's body has become wary. She has withdrawn all the spies placed in Yuhua Palace and monitored Meng Wenyao throughout the day.

Now this little beauty has surpassed the imperial concubine and become a serious problem for her. If she does not get rid of it, there will be endless troubles.

On this day, the queen cried so hard that she fainted again. When she woke up, she saw a crazy nun in Yongfu Palace and said inexplicably: "The emperor is not the emperor."

After the death of the Queen Mother, the Emperor was extremely sad and asked everyone from Yongfu Palace to go to the imperial mausoleum so that they could keep vigil for the Queen Mother in the future.

Now this crazy nanny may have a bad brain and no one takes her seriously, so she has become the only fish that slipped through the net. Now what does this sentence: The emperor is not the emperor mean?

The queen thought hard for a long time and couldn't figure it out. She held herself up and cried, muttering: If the emperor is not the emperor, then who is the emperor?

The Empress Dowager was in mourning for 27 days, and the Zi Palace was moved to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, where she was buried in the imperial mausoleum on an auspicious day selected by the Qintian Supervisor.

On this day, everyone saw the Queen Mother off. After arriving at the Ancestral Temple, the concubines and ladies of the harem chatted together.

During the national mourning period, there was nothing to say. No wonder it was just how benevolent and filial the emperor was.
