At this time, it was noon. There was still the bleak autumn sunshine. Fangfei felt cold, and her whole body felt like she fell into a huge ice cellar, with no sunshine and nowhere to escape.
Emperor Hongwen first picked up Hong'er and then sent poisonous pastries.
Her legs were trembling, almost unable to support the weight of her body, and she sat depressedly on the chair. She even forgot to ask, Li Chong, how could he know that the pastry was poisonous?
However, this question is not important at all.
"The Queen Mother...the Queen Mother..."
She opened her eyes blankly to look at Li Chong. Then, her eyes moved away and landed on the dead cat at the door. It was given by Emperor Hongwen. When was it? Before or after Hong'er was born?
The snow-white Persian cats are so fat that they can hardly walk. They thought they would have a comfortable old age until they have a good end. Unexpectedly, even cats will not be able to end well.
The snow-white hair was shining and gradually lost its luster. Another cat, who was originally envious and jealous, screamed in an extremely miserable way when he saw his companion die tragically. He kept fiddling with his companion.
However, the companion who used to play with each other could no longer respond to it, but just lay straight. It probably discovered something, and its screams were even more miserable.
She suddenly became very scared: "Take it away quickly, take it away quickly, don't let Honger see..."
How sad it would be if the child saw the cat die. He would even bring the cat with him when he even went out on an outing.
When Zhang heard the sound, he came in and saw the dead cat at the door. He was so scared that his face looked like a dirt: "The Queen Mother... this cat?"
The cat's white hair had turned black and bleeding from its seven orifices. Zhang Yu came in from the door and saw the front, and was even more shocked.
This cat died of poisoning.
Her eyes couldn't help but turn to Empress Dowager Feng's side, the basket of snacks, and Empress Dowager Feng's gray face.
Her voice trembled: "The Queen Mother..."
"Take the cat quickly and deal with it..." Fangfei was powerless and exhausted, "Remember, don't let anyone find out."
Zhang took the cat out tremblingly.
When Li Chong saw Empress Dowager Feng still sitting on the chair with his eyes closed, he was also panicked: "Empress Dowager, you...you should change the place..."
She laughed bitterly and looked at Li Chong. Change the place? Where to change it?
This is the capital of Beiwudang. Where can I hide under the feet of Emperor Hongwen?
"Empress Dowager... Empress Dowager, please avoid it for the time being..."
She was very calm: "How to avoid it? Do you think that if he fails to make a plan, he will directly send someone to assassinate me?"
Li Chong was speechless, but was very nervous.
Fangfei was still sitting upright, motionless.
My heart was sad. I had never been so discouraged in my life. She carefully reached out to pick up a piece of pastry. What a sweet pastry. She said to herself: "Li Chong, these are all what I like to eat.
.”
Li Chong was shocked: "The Empress Dowager... can't eat it."
She stared at the exquisite ice skin: "How old am I at that time? I was seven or eight years old. When I met the late emperor, he gave me some snacks. That was the first time I had snacks..."
Li Chong dared not speak out.
She didn't continue to say anything, but just put down her snacks despair.
Neither sad nor afraid, slowly, watch the sun set westward little by little.
"Li Chong, you go down."
"The Queen Mother..."
"Thank you for saving me." She smiled faintly, "I really don't know what to say to you brothers. Your brother died because of me. This time, you saved my life again."
"Empress Dowager, this is the duty of the minister."
She shook her head, and she wanted to ask him many things, but she wanted to say something but stopped. What's the effect of asking these?
"The Empress Dowager, it was Li Xin and Lu Tai who were bothering him... They bought the eunuch for trouble..."
Fangfei smiled faintly: "Li Chong, thank you for comforting me."
Li Chong couldn't say anything anymore, so he had to step down.
Fangfei looked at his back and walked away so hard that she could not see it at all, so she withdrew her gaze. It was indeed Li Xin and Lu Tai who were both ambitions. These wolves and ambitions all hated themselves, which was not surprising.
But, if they did not have the tacit approval and support of Emperor Hongwen, would they dare?
Dare to bribe Emperor Hongwen’s personal eunuch?
You know, Zhu Jun is one of the eunuchs that Emperor Hongwen trusts most, second only to Wei Qiyuan.
She suddenly felt very relieved. Fortunately, Emperor Hongwen finally took his son away. The tiger poison did not eat his son. If he did this, he would not attack his son. At least, he would not do anything yet.
And myself!
The birds are gone, and the good bows are hidden.
If the son dies, he will never stop until he dies.
After a long time, her legs were numb, she stood up and looked at the sunset and sunset. She remembered her life. When did this life begin? Eight, eight, eighteen, or twenty-eight?
She stood for a while.
Only Mrs. Zhang stood beside him. The poor old woman had already turned her face and didn't dare to say a word. But when she saw her turn her face, her voice trembled like Li Chong before: "What should I do if the Queen Mother...
?”
Once I die, I am afraid that even a few people in this room will not be able to save them.
She looked at the old woman with grey hair with pity and sighed: "If I had known this, you really shouldn't have followed me."
The old woman cried: "Empress Dowager, it is a blessing for the old man to serve you, and I have never regretted it."
Her eyes were wet, too.
I just walked to the door and looked at my son. I hope my son will come back soon.
However, it has not been reported. The little prince has never returned. The gate of the Cining Palace is closed and will never be opened until the little prince returns.
However, Fangfei thought tonight, maybe Emperor Hongwen won’t let the child come back. He is also afraid, afraid that the child will see things he shouldn’t have seen.
"The Queen Mother...you have something to eat. Lunch is useless."
She shook her head: "I'm not hungry."
"The Queen Mother, the body is important..."
She smiled and said, "Zhang Zi, I want to change my clothes."
The old woman was stunned. Fangfei had already arrived at the bedroom. When the wardrobe was opened, the color of light was gone, all the grand and dull clothes of the empress dowager - the color of the widow.
She looked at it for a while and went to the other side.
There were several new clothes, one of which was a moon-white shirt with elegant plum blossoms embroidered on the cuffs. She wore them when she went to the Qingzhou front line to accompany Luo Jia. Especially, until the day Luo Jia died, she remembered herself.
That's exactly what she wore. So when she came to Beiwudang, she always carried these clothes, but she had never worn them.
She looked at it for a while before taking it off.
The clean-washed clothes are well preserved and have the smell of camphor.
She changed her clothes carefully, washed up and sat in front of the mirror.
The hair spreads, and the woman in the mirror has slightly fine lines at the corners of her eyes. In recent years, she has not felt the passage of time. At first, her appearance remains unchanged. However, in the past two years, she has become amazing.
Since Emperor Hongwen began to give birth to a son one after another, she has become extremely haggard.
In my heart, there is no lack of despair and fear.
When people are forced to a certain extent, they have to worry about the fear and worry.
However, after worrying for so long, I still couldn't escape such a fate.
