Chapter 373
When Emperor Bingyu died, it was an unlucky year. At the beginning of the new year, something tragic happened. This meant that bad things would happen throughout the year, but I never expected that the emperor would.
Bingyu passed away in the fifty-third year, and at this time, many people in Shangjing were still living in dire straits.
The beginning of the year in Bingyu of the Celestial Dynasty was originally a prosperous time. This was due to the emperor's frugality and love for the people, the reduction of punishments and taxes, and the good neighborliness and peace of the border. It also relied on the concerted efforts of all the ministers in the early period.
However, in the forty-fifth year of Bingyu's reign, Empress Mingxian passed away, and the emperor lost his support almost overnight. At this moment, everyone actually saw how important Empress Mingxian was to the emperor.
When the emperor's condition suddenly worsened, even Shentu, the imperial doctor, bluntly said that there was no way but to do his best and obey fate. No one knew what the future would be like. In short, the only thing they could do seemed to be to pray. They prayed
The emperor can wake up and bring them out of dire straits.
In the future, people will not remember what happened on March 31st in the fifty-third year of Bingyu's reign, but as long as they mention that it was the day when the sage emperor died, they will remember March 31st.
Shen Tuchen could predict that the emperor would definitely die that night. On March 30, Qi Bingyu was already unconscious, and even the most basic vital signs were very weak. Shen Tuchen was worried about being discovered, so he kept stabbing him.
When Qi Bingyu took out the silver needle from his hair, no one knew what he had done. Everyone only trusted him and thought he could revive the emperor. They never thought that he was the cause of the emperor's final death.
.
Shen Tuchen carefully made the final preparations. He knew that after the emperor's death, everything he had eaten and used would be inspected, and his body would also be inspected by the imperial doctors to prevent the emperor from dying unexpectedly. Before he was buried,
, it is also necessary for the eunuchs who usually serve around the body to wash themselves, put on clean obscene clothes, and be buried in court clothes.
Shen Tuchen was worried that it would be found out, so he disposed of the medicine residue early. He always used powder, so that no one would notice him. The tiny pinholes in his hair would disappear in just a few hours, and no one would notice.
It will be discovered that the sage emperor died of poisoning.
Qi Bingyu's illness was so serious that he would definitely not be able to do it in normal times, but it was God's help that the emperor fell seriously ill this time, which gave them an opportunity to take advantage of it.
A few days after taking the medicine, Shen Tuchen began to use poison on Qi Bingyu again. However, everyone thought that the emperor was just suffering from an old illness, and no one would suspect Shen Tuchen.
On the afternoon of March 30, the fifty-third year of Bingyu, Shen Tuchen informed Concubine Mei that the emperor was dying, and wanted Concubine Mei to bring the news to Liang Huanqing in the East Palace.
At this time, Qi Jingqin and Liang Huanqing had already entered the East Palace. When they saw Chu Qi and Si Nanping leading their servants to clean up and arrange things, the Ministry of Internal Affairs also tried to make the East Palace as comfortable as Prince Jing's Palace.
, Yuebai and Tang Xue beside them were also very happy. This day has finally come. Although they are female relatives, everything about Qi Jingqin is closely related to them. Even in the East Palace, he is still serving Liang Huanqing, but it will be different from now on.
From now on, they will be the female officials next to the Crown Princess, and they will be much more majestic than ordinary ladies when they go out. In short, the master has been promoted now, and they are also happy together.
As the saying goes, if a person achieves enlightenment, a chicken or a dog can ascend to heaven, they are doing this for the sake of their master.
When Yuebai and Tang Xue were happy, Liang Huanqing was sitting in the courtyard of Heyuan, watching the branches of peach blossoms swaying slowly with the wind, watching the flowers and branches in the garden vying to bloom. The palace servants serving in the garden were also from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
They were carefully selected because they were said to have smart and clean hands and feet and could serve the Crown Princess well.
Now that Liang Huanqing is the Crown Princess, the people serving her in the palace can only follow her whims. On weekdays, only Yuebai follows her when traveling. Unless there is something going on, Tang Xue is asked to accompany her, but
Now there are eight ceremonial guards for the Crown Princess, but they have to be followed behind each other, and they can't be kept away in the palace. When you see many concubines, you can tell what their status is just by looking at the ceremonial guards behind them.
After staying in the palace for two or three days, I came to understand these principles, be aware of words and emotions, and be tactful in dealing with things. I was forced to learn all these things in the palace.
Yuebai always saw that there were so many rules in the palace, which were even more annoying than those in the palace, so she was worried that the Crown Princess Liang Huanqing would be bored. After all, she could not leave the palace often and could only walk around the palace all day long. Liang Huanqing was so tired before.
She loves to make trouble, but now in the position of the Crown Princess, there will be countless pairs of eyes staring at her, asking her to be extremely careful when walking or stepping. Yue Bai always thought that Liang Huanqing was still the eldest lady of the former Jianwei General's Palace.
He has always been that lively and playful person.
But Liang Huanqing just smiled, looked at the female guard of honor behind him, and smiled calmly at Yuebai: "It doesn't matter, there are no rules without rules. I didn't do anything and just followed." After saying that, he looked back.
He glanced at the female officials walking behind him with their heads lowered, "It's quite majestic. It turns out that being a crown princess is really different from being a princess... I'm actually curious about how majestic the queen's twelve female officials are."
Hearing what the Crown Princess said, Yue Bai could only walk aside and stop talking. Now Yue Bai could no longer understand her thoughts.
Just like now in the Crane Garden, Yue Bai and Tang Xue were happy for them, but Liang Huanqing just sat aside and watched the peach blossoms falling one after another. He remembered that when they were at the Qishan Palace, Liang Huanqing and Qi Jingqin stood under the peach blossom tree.
The scene is very beautiful, like an immortal.
Even Yue Bai couldn't help but sigh that time can really change a person. Under the peach blossom tree, Liang Huanqing was wearing a slightly simple plain white long brocade dress, and used dark brown silk thread to embroider the ingenious and powerful branches on the dress.
, pink silk thread embroidered blossoming plum blossoms, extending from the skirt to the waist. A dark purple wide belt tightened the thin waist, showing the slim figure, but also giving people a sense of elegance.
Losing the feeling of luxury, she wore a light purple open-mouthed gauze gown, which made the gauze garment have a sense of flowing light with every move she made. A jade pendant was tied around her waist, adding an air of elegance.
Wearing a milky-white jade bracelet on her hand, her surprisingly long hair was tied up in a slightly complicated hairstyle with purple and white ribbons. She really lived up to her beautiful and surprisingly beautiful hair, and she wore some
The essence of roses exudes a charming fragrance. Her hair is lightly held with a silver jade and purple moon hairpin, making her look as if she is alluring and floating like a fairy. There is a jade hairpin inserted in her hair, which is uniquely made.
She has the appearance of a green bamboo with leaves, which really makes people think that she has a branch of green bamboo on her head, and her thin and long bangs are neat and rigorous in front of her forehead.
The willow leaf eyebrows were drawn with charcoal black to highlight the fair and delicate skin. The charming red phoenix eyes showed their brilliance when the eyes were flowing. Pink rouge was applied to make the skin look white and rosy, and a light red color was applied on the lips.
With red lips, the whole face looks particularly beautiful.
At that time, Liang Huanqing and Qi Jingqin stood together like heavenly beings, like a golden boy and girl born for each other. They were as enviable as they were. No wonder Yue Bai and Chu Qi peeked through the crack in the door at that time. No wonder they were in the room at that time.
When visiting the palace in Qishan, Lu Huiling would feel jealous. No one could compare to the innocent and kind-hearted Liang Huanqing. Who else could maintain her original intention like her? In the big dyeing vat of the powerful people in Beijing, she could still be the best.
Being able to maintain the appearance of an innocent and beautiful girl, I think Qi Jingqin was very much in love with her at that time.
Under the peach tree at that time, the pure and lovely Liang Huanqing could be engraved in Yuebai's heart for a lifetime. She has always been the eldest lady in Yuebai's heart.
Maybe everyone will change. Liang Huanqing was just unfortunate enough to be forced to grow up and change faster. Yuebai couldn't accept it for a while. When everyone was happy about this, the palace servants in Heyuan were all
They were the servants who used to serve in Linlang Garden. When the master entered the East Palace, they followed him.
At this moment, they were the only ones in the Crane Garden, but while they were happily cleaning up, Liang Huanqing was sitting alone under the tree, with her head raised and eyes closed, feeling the peach blossom petals falling on her face.
Yuebai stood not far away and looked at her. Liang Huanqing was still as beautiful as a painting, but compared to the time at Qishan Palace, she was still somewhat less delicate.
Liang Huanqing was now wearing a light blue top with silver patterns embroidered with butterfly flowers. The sleeves were made wider than usual and rustled in the wind. Recently, she had been wearing clothes with this kind of shape. It must have been cut out from the arms.
It was too painful to eat a piece of meat, so Shentu Imperial Physician personally came to change the dressing every day. He wanted to see Liang Huanqing every day, but after a while, Liang Huanqing felt that it was not necessary. The Imperial Hospital could just send a medicine boy here.
She wanted Imperial Physician Shentu to stay by the emperor's side.
In the eyes of outsiders, she showed pure filial piety, cutting flesh to use as medicine, and letting the imperial physician stay by the emperor's side, as if she didn't care about herself at all, but Liang Huanqing knew her own body best, and now her body is slowly recovering.
Even if Shen Tuchen stayed by her side for a whole day, she would not be able to get better in one day. She still had to put Shen Tuchen by the emperor's side so that she could feel at ease. There was only one last step left...
Liang Huanqing's waist was tight, and underneath she wore a long dress embroidered with white magnolia in goose yellow. She wore a simple peach-heart bun, and only wore a few milky-white pearl necklaces, which reflected the luster of the cloud silk, and a thin emerald hairpin hanging diagonally.
A wisp of silver tassel.
She has a beautiful oval-shaped face, a small and straight nose, curved eyebrows like willow leaves, thin lips, and her thick green hair is pulled into a meticulous bun. She leans back slightly on the imperial concubine's couch,
His hands were hanging out. There was a contented expression on his face, and a charming smile that was half a smile but not a smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he was extremely enjoying everything that he had to win now that he was in power.
Her fluttering skirt is tightly wrapped in silk satin, showing her exquisite and alluring figure. The tube top blue butterfly coat covers her fair skin. There are blue stripes around her, but a closer look reveals a dark blue light. The crystal clear inverted earrings hang down and sway.
The black hair scattered around the shoulders is held up with a blood-red platycodon flower hairpin, and inserted diagonally into the flowing black hair. A thin layer of powder is applied, and the eyebrows are as curved as willows. There is a light touch of vermilion on the forehead, but it seems charming and charming.
Although her appearance was exactly the same, Yuebai felt that she was very different from before. Her eyes, expression, and expression were all different from before, but her natural look was very much like the Liang Huanqing she once was.
Liang Huanqing took a deep breath, then sat up straight, opened his eyes and saw Yue Bai who had been looking at him. Seeing Yue Bai's eyes, Liang Huanqing felt very nervous as if he had done something wrong.
Knowing how to face her look like this, I just felt that I had done something wrong, but there was no trace of panic on the surface.
Liang Huanqing turned around and saw the main hall of Heyuan. I heard that it was the place where Zhao Peiyu hanged herself. The beam on the roof was probably where she waved the three-foot white silk...
Everyone said that the house was unlucky, so they had to seal it up for a period of time, and then invite Taoist priests to do it after this period of time passed. Otherwise, they would always worry that Zhao Peiyu's soul would stay inside and haunt Liang Huanqing.
But Liang Huanqing is not afraid. She is already like this, how can it be worse? If Zhao Peiyu is unwilling, as they say, his soul has been lingering in Heyuan, then Liang Huanqing is not worried, she actually wants to
You want to see, Zhao Peiyu did not kill herself in such a vicious way. If she saw herself again, what would her expression be like?
Liang Huanqing stood up, walked slowly to the front of the hall, looked up at the beam where Zhao Peiyu hanged herself, and a smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth: Do you think you can save Qi Jingyang if you die? No, that's not the case, you
After his death, Qi Jingyang was deposed, the East Palace changed hands, and the world will all belong to us. Now I am the crown princess. If you look at it in a month, I will be the empress of the world. What do you think I will do then?
What about Qi Jingyang? I have never had much interaction with you before. If I had known that one day... I should have gotten rid of you long ago!
Liang Huanqing was thinking fiercely in her heart, but she still looked bright on the surface. There was no doubt in her heart, but her eyes were often the best expression of her inner emotions. Her eyes revealed complex emotions, like
It's sadness, like joy, like hatred, and even more regret...
Yuebai stood behind and looked at her, vaguely aware of what she was thinking, and the rest of her heart ached.
"Crown Princess, Eunuch Rongfu of Yichun Palace, please see me." A young eunuch ran in from outside the Heyuan Gate and bowed respectfully to Liang Huanqing's back.
After Liang Huanqing took one last look at the hanging beam, he sighed, finally looked back at the little eunuch, and said, "Let him come in."
Yuebai calmly supported Liang Huanqing and sat on the concubine's couch under the peach blossom tree, waiting for Eunuch Rongfu to come. They all knew that when Eunuch Rongfu came over, either Concubine Mei had something to do or Shen Tuchen had something to convey.
Now that Liang Huanqing has used the medicine boy from Tai Hospital to change his medicine, Shen Tuchen has no reason to come to the East Palace anymore, so Concubine Mei is the one who helps convey everything. Liang Huanqing is arranged to recuperate in the East Palace, and Concubine Mei is the one who
I would go to Qinzheng Hall every day to take a look, but I didn't stay too long, mainly just to see Shen Tuchen.
