Blood spilled from the corner of Queen Pei's mouth, her head tilted, and she died completely.
But until the end, she always sat in the main seat, maintaining a dignified sitting posture, with her eyes wide open, and they did not close them until she died.
Pei Duqin knelt on the ground and gave a big salute, "Nephew, send me off to my aunt!"
Not long after Queen Pei died, palace officials came to collect her body. Because Queen Pei made a mistake and was deposed, she had no chance to enter the imperial mausoleum after her death.
The body was rolled up with only a straw mat and buried in an unmanned grave in the cold palace.
There has always been an abandoned place in the Cold Palace, which was specially used for the burial of concubines who were thrown into the Cold Palace after their death.
After all, these abandoned concubines had served the emperor, but because of their mistakes, they had no chance to enter the imperial mausoleum again. After their death, they could not leave the palace, and they did not even have the opportunity to have their surnames engraved on their tombstones. It was desolate.
After coming out of Kunning Palace, the little chamberlain who was following him couldn't help but asked: "Manager, Queen Pei has been sentenced to death, the Pei family has suffered heavy losses, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been banned from the East Palace for half a year. It can be said that this is a complete
Lost grace,
Now among the entire dynasty, His Highness King Dingbei is the most favored one. Why don’t you take the opportunity to switch sides? You are the most popular manager around His Majesty. His Highness King Dingbei must be too late to curry favor with you."
Eunuch Liu glanced at him, "Why, you want to show off to me that you are very smart. What you can think of can't be thought of by me?"
The little waiter was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said, "You don't dare, please calm down!"
"King Dingbei is too arrogant and disorganized. He can't tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes. If such a person ascends the throne as emperor in the future, it will be a blessing for the people, but not for you and me."
Qi Jue can't tolerate cheating, double-dealing villains. Under his hands, each of these people will be more miserable than the last, and there will be no way to survive.
And Eunuch Liu belongs to that kind of person. He has no descendants. A person without descendants naturally wants to think about himself and enjoy all the glory and wealth while he is alive.
Just like now, Eunuch Liu is working under Emperor Zhao. Although Emperor Zhao is suspicious, as long as his bottom line is not touched, he can allow corrupt and slippery officials to exist in order to stabilize the throne.
Therefore, Eunuch Liu lived a comfortable life under Emperor Zhao, but if it were Qi Jue, let alone glory and wealth, he might not even be able to protect his life.
The young chamberlain seemed to understand, but Eunuch Liu did not expect him to understand. He only said: "Today, I will teach you another way to survive in the palace, that is, do not throw away all the eggs at any time.
Put it in a basket."
Although he had just expressed his loyalty in front of Queen Pei, it was just an act.
He wanted to flatter the prince, but the prince's party had been severely damaged after all. If Emperor Zhao really disliked him, he would also have to contact the other princes secretly.
Except for Qi Jue, no matter which other prince ascends the throne, it will be beneficial to him without any harm!
When we came out of Huaqing Palace, it was almost dusk.
"Second cousin, the Yuan family's grievances have been washed away. It's time to return to the Hou Mansion."
Yuan Jinshen sat in the wheelchair, and squeezed the handle tightly nervously, "Zhuzhu, I can't wait to go home, but I'm afraid to go back. When I went on the expedition, my grandfather and father were both there, but when I come back,
But I was the only one who survived, and I'm afraid... they will be even more sad when they see me."
Why was he the only one who survived, and why did everyone else die? Yuan Jinshen has been suffering every day these days.
"Second cousin, everyone is destined to die. It may be as light as a feather or as heavy as a mountain. Grandfather and the others sacrificed their lives for the country. Even if they die, it is an honor. But you are alive and have washed away their grievances. You must also be brave for them."
The lintel of Yihou Mansion, you are my grandmother’s hope and the motivation for them to live, do you understand?”
Yuan Jin looked deeply into Yan Mingzhu's clear eyes, and suddenly he smiled, "Thank you, Zhuzhu, I understand."
"Yes, yes, Yongyihou and the others are the great heroes of our Dazhao. When the imperial edict is issued tomorrow, the entire Yuan family will be famous for generations to come and be respected by all people!"
Ming Zizhan chatted excitedly from behind, and Yuan Jin smiled gratefully.
"Miss Yan, let's take you back to the Marquis Mansion. We happen to be on the way."
Ming Xingjian and Ming Zizhan had been waiting outside. Now that it was getting late, they naturally wanted to escort Yan Mingzhu and the others back to the Hou Mansion.
Yan Mingzhu nodded, and just as he was about to get on the carriage, a clear voice said: "Wait a moment."
Hearing the sound and looking over, he saw Qi Jue walking in this direction.
"Your Highness, you didn't take a good rest in Huaqing Palace, why did you come out again?"
Qi Jue walked up to Yan Mingzhu, glanced at Ming Xingjian casually, and then replied: "I am here to do business."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand, shook what he was holding, and said, "Read the imperial edict."
This imperial edict was naturally for the Yuan family, but reading out the imperial edict was supposed to be the job of the chamberlain, but Qi Jue took over it. Obviously, his purpose was not to read the imperial edict, but to accompany Yan Mingzhu back to the Marquis Mansion to refresh himself.
face, expression.
Yan Mingzhu didn't think much, and just as she agreed, a carved carriage stopped in front of her.
Qi Jue said naturally: "Feiyun, load Mr. Yuan Er into the carriage."
Then, he extended a slender jade-like hand to Yan Mingzhu, "Let's go?"
This strong possessiveness almost overflowed, and Yan Mingzhu was both amused and helpless.
"Master Ming, it's getting late. Your Highness and I will go back to the Marquis Mansion together. You should go home early as well."
Ming Xingjian and Qi Jue met each other's eyes without concealing it, and smiled, "It's okay, Miss Yan, be careful all the way."
After the carriage gradually went away, Ming Zizhan said dejectedly: "My beard has been cut off again. King Dingbei has gone too far. We have been waiting outside for a long time, just to send Miss Yan back to the Marquis Mansion. He is so
It would be too arrogant to rob them all from us!"
"Okay, today the Yuan family can clear their grievances. His Highness King Dingbei has made a lot of efforts. The Yuan family can be re-ennobled. Miss Yan's life can be much easier. This is the most important thing. Everything else is just a trivial matter. Let's go.
Well, it’s getting late, we should go back home.”
My eldest brother has already said this, so Ming Zizhan naturally can't say anything more.
Hey, my eldest brother is too soft-tempered and can't compare to Qi Jue's shamelessness. It seems that he is destined to see Zhuang Ke quarrel in front of him in the future!
Yongyihou Mansion.
Yuan Yixiao held up the hem of her skirt and ran to the elder's wife's house.
Before he even entered the door, he started shouting: "Grandma, grandma, it's terrible, the imperial guards at the gate of our Marquis Mansion are all gone!"
