After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible
Chapter 189: One Joy and One Sadness
The Queen Mother confessed, "I am sorry to the Emperor, and to those of my family and the Emperor's grandchildren who died in vain. But now, I can persuade the Emperor for a while, but I cannot persuade him forever."
"Bring me some paper, pen and ink. I…I want to leave a will, just in case."
Nanny Zhuxi felt sorry for the Queen Mother. Even at this time, she was still worried about Empress Yixiu. "Queen Mother, please pay more attention to your health."
The Queen Mother said to Zhu Xi in a serious tone, "You must remember that if I am no longer around, you must keep the edict well. If there is any change in the position of Queen, take it out to protect the Queen."
"Yes, I'll get it."
………………
in a few days
With everyone's blessings, Shen Beile and Yu Rao held a grand wedding, and the lovers finally got married.
The emperor and Zhen Huan attended their wedding banquet together. The emperor looked a little unhappy, but he said words of blessing to help Yu Rao and Shen Beile.
Zhen Huan was also extremely happy. Although she felt very sorry that Huanbi could not hold a proper wedding for her, the only thing she could do was to avenge her.
The fact that Yu Rao had found a good husband was a little comfort to Zhen Huan.
After the wedding banquet, Zhen Huan and the Emperor returned to the palace. Sitting in the carriage, the Emperor said with emotion: "Just now during the banquet, you and I, Yunxi and Yurao, we are two perfect couples made in heaven."
Zhen Huan glanced at the emperor and said, "My younger sister Yu Rao is extremely grateful to the emperor."
The emperor's expression showed no joy, "With you, I am willing to fulfill Yu Rao's wish."
Then the emperor thought of Prince Guo and said, "Yunli is the only one who lacks a companion. I am really worried. He is not young anymore and has not yet married. If you know any good girls, please recommend some to me."
When Zhen Huan heard the emperor mention Yun Li, her heart skipped a beat. She naturally didn't want Yun Li to marry someone else, but the emperor's intention could not be refuted, so she could only reply: "Okay, I will pay more attention to it."
At this moment, as the carriage slowly drove into the palace gate, a eunuch's voice was heard from a distance, and the voice was very urgent: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Su Peisheng shouted to the entire group of people traveling with the emperor, "Stop."
Three eunuchs trotted to the emperor's carriage and knelt down. One of the eunuchs in charge said, "Your Majesty..."
The emperor lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the eunuch kneeling on the ground.
The eunuch choked up for a moment and continued, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager... the Empress Dowager is not well."
The emperor's expression froze, and there was a pain in his heart.
Soon the emperor arrived at Shoukang Palace, only to see the empress and all the concubines kneeling in front of the empress dowager's bed, crying softly.
The emperor hurried over to the Queen Mother's bed and sat down. He saw that the Queen Mother had her eyes tightly closed, her eyelids trembling slightly, and she murmured, "You betrayed me."
The emperor gently grasped the empress dowager's hand and called out, "Imperial Mother, Imperial Mother."
The Queen Mother was still unconscious, but she said in a very soft voice: "You promised that after the selection is over..."
The emperor heard something, the queen mother probably dreamed about her and Longkodo...
The emperor showed displeasure on his face. He looked at the empress and concubines kneeling below and said coldly, "Why are you crying? The Empress Dowager is still here."
The queen cried tactfully and said, "The Empress and the Emperor must have something else to say. We sisters should wait outside the palace."
Then everyone left the Empress Dowager's inner chamber, leaving only the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
At this time, the empress dowager slowly opened her eyes, and her first words were to question the emperor: "Where is the fourteenth prince? Why is he still not here?" The empress dowager's voice was extremely sad and weak.
"Madam, you are confused." The emperor said as he gently held the empress dowager's hand again.
The Queen Mother continued, "The Empress Dowager is dying. Can you please let her see the Fourteenth Prince?"
"Empress Mother, my son grew up under the lap of Empress Xiaoyiren. Unlike the Fourteenth Prince, he was raised by you personally. My son doesn't have much time to accompany you. At times like this, please let him accompany you."
The Queen Mother closed her eyes sadly, tears slowly falling from her eyes. She couldn't even see her own son before she died. "You just won't let Old Fourteen go? Mother knows your temper, so I haven't said anything, and I shouldn't have said anything."
The Queen Mother also grasped the Emperor's hand with her other hand, and continued with a hint of pleading in her tone: "But now, please take it as a plea from your mother to let your brother go."
When the emperor heard the empress dowager's words, he felt a chill in his heart. There was no way he would let the fourteenth prince go. Putting him under house arrest was already the greatest favor he could do.
"You don't have to worry about the affairs of the court, Empress Dowager."
The empress dowager became ruthless and used her last bit of strength to say, "Emperor, you have imprisoned royal relatives, killed brothers and sisters, and even spared your own brother. You will end up with no relatives to recognize you, and your own flesh and blood will be separated." When the emperor heard the empress dowager's words, he withdrew his hand that was being held by the empress dowager.
The emperor was furious: "It was not my son who wanted to do this, they forced me to do it."
The Queen Mother was unwilling to accept this and continued, "I started as a lowly concubine and became a concubine step by step. I have worked so hard for myself and for your throne. Am I going to watch you killing each other when I am old?"
"My Queen Mother, you don't need to worry about these trivial matters anymore."
The Queen Mother knew that she would never see Prince Fourteen again, and she angrily said the last words: "The late emperor is watching from heaven, and you even spared your own brother. The late emperor was watching how you fought for the throne."
The emperor said angrily, "How did my son get the throne? The Empress Mother was involved in every detail. I forbeared the affair between the Empress Mother and Longkodo, and I loved Chun Yuan and treated Yi Xiu well. I have always been filial to her. There are some things that the Empress Mother really doesn't need to say. I am also very grateful to the Empress Mother for dealing with Longkodo for me and saving me from a bad reputation."
The empress dowager was heartbroken after hearing what the emperor said. She had done so much for the emperor, and she had even sentenced her beloved Longkodo to death with her own hands. She was not even allowed to see the fourteenth prince for the last time.
She was so angry that she couldn't breathe, and the next second she couldn't speak. She died with resentment and pain.
When the emperor saw the empress dowager breathe her last, his eyes were filled with pain and hatred.
He stood up and knelt in front of the Queen Mother's bed and said, "My Queen Mother, go to sleep quickly so that you can grow up. When you grow up, you can draw the bow. You have never sung such a song to comfort a child to me before. Can you sing it for me again, my Queen Mother?"
The emperor kowtowed to the queen mother, with a tear in his eye. He longed for maternal love, longed for the queen mother to look at him more and care about him more, but she only had the fourteenth son in her heart. How could he not hate her? They were both biological sons, so why didn't he grow up being loved and cared for by the queen mother like the fourteenth son? He always envied and was jealous of the fourteenth son, and he felt bitter.
