He saw a person lying wet on the board of the boat. Wei Jingxuan and Ji You were kneeling beside them and crying bitterly. Mingyu...could it really be Mingyu?
No, Mingyu will not commit suicide, she will not die, it must be someone else!
Thinking like this, he walked forward step by step with his legs that were as heavy as chains. It was only a short distance, but he walked for a long time, and he had to pause for a long time every step...
As he got closer, he finally saw the pale paper face clearly. The next moment, Hongli's eyes turned black and he almost fell to the ground. Sixi quickly stepped forward to support him and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, be careful of the dragon body.
!”
Hongli ignored him, slowly squatted down, stared at the familiar face, and said tremblingly: "How could this happen...how could she die? Who discovered it!"
Wei Jingxuan opened her eyes that were red from crying and reluctantly stopped crying: "I don't know, my master was very restless last night. He kept crying and went to bed very late. I woke up just now and was worried that something happened to my master, so
I came over to take a look. Unexpectedly, I didn’t see the master’s figure when I entered it. Instead, the window was open and a pair of shoes were placed on the board.
, the slave recognizes that... those are the master's shoes!" At this point, Wei Jingxuan burst into tears again, and Ji You said from the side: "Auntie was frightened at the time, and quickly called the slaves in, suspecting that the master had thrown himself into the water.
So I let Shi Shuixing go into the water along the boat to salvage, and as a result... I really found the master, but... But she was out of breath!"
"No, Mingyu won't die, definitely not." With that said, Hongli hugged Mingyu's wet and cold body with trembling hands, and murmured: "Mingyu, don't scare me,
Open your eyes quickly, you... don't want to go to the cold palace, right? Okay, I promise you, I won't punish you to go to the cold palace, you wake up."
No matter what he said or did, Mingyu never opened her eyes and closed her eyes quietly, just like sleeping peacefully in Hongli's arms in the past. However, this time, she would not wake up again and sleep forever.
Drawing an end to her sad and ridiculous life.
Hongli kept talking in Mingyu's ear, hoping that she could hear his voice and wake up. Although he hated Mingyu's cruelty and stubbornness, he never thought about Mingyu from the beginning to the end.
If Yu dies, even if he is deposed and thrown into the cold palace, I just hope that Mingyu can realize his mistakes and not commit more sins.
Wei Jingxuan's eyes flashed slightly, and she kowtowed and cried: "It's all my fault. I knew that my master was in a bad mood and let her stay alone in the house. If I had been more careful and noticed that my master had thoughts of committing suicide, I would have guarded her."
If she follows the master, she will not have the chance to throw herself into the water, slave girl... slave girl deserves death!"
Ji You followed her and said: "This slave is also guilty, please punish me!"
Hongli shook his head and said with a painful expression: "The guilty person is not you, but me. It was me who forced the queen to death. If I hadn't said those heartless words to the queen last night and didn't beat her, she wouldn't have lost her mind and thrown herself into the river.
Committed suicide, I...I forced my married wife to death, I..." He choked with sobs and didn't know how to continue.
Xianyue walked up to him and said softly: "Your Majesty, stop blaming yourself. No one could have imagined that things would turn out like this. If you are so sad, I will not feel at ease when I leave."
Looking at the lifeless Mingyu in his arms, tears fell from his eyes. Hongli was filled with guilt. He shook his head and said: "She left with hatred, how can she feel at ease? Yes, she did a lot of wrong things, but in the end she is
My married wife, I shouldn’t have treated her like that, and besides, she will become like this, I am also responsible, I...I hurt her!"
Xianyue sighed: "But things have already happened. People can't be resurrected after death. No matter how sad you are, it won't help. Your Majesty, it's better to look away."
Hongli said in a desolate tone: "You don't need to comfort me, I know in my heart that I killed the Queen." After that, he took a long breath and said: "You go, I want to be alone!"
"Your Majesty..." Xianyue was about to say more, but Hongli said coldly: "Let's go!"
Xianyue resigned helplessly, and everyone in the palace also retreated. Except for Si Xi, only Wei Jingxuan and Ji You were still kneeling on the ground, wiping away tears.
After A Luo helped Xianyue return to the room, Xia Qing and others already knew what happened, and their faces were full of surprise.
Zhichun was the first to say: "I can't believe that the queen would actually commit suicide. I thought she would never have the courage to die in this life."
Xia Qing frowned and said: "It's quite unexpected. Logically speaking, the queen knew the truth about the seventh elder brother. So why should she avenge the seventh elder brother first? Why did she commit suicide without saying a word? Just like this
Zhichun said, she doesn't seem to have that kind of courage."
Qi Kuan spread his hands and said: "No matter how unexpected it is, this is a fact. It doesn't mean that the queen's death is fake. But it's good. After a hundred deaths, the grudge between her and the master can finally be ended."
Xianyue, who had never spoken a word, slowly said: "I'm afraid... it won't be the end of the world, but there will be another turmoil."
Qi Kuan was startled and said quickly: "Master, why do you say that? Everyone is already dead, what kind of trouble can there be again?"
A Luo's expression changed and he said, "Master, are you worried about the emperor?"
Zhichun said doubtfully: "Your Majesty? What's wrong with your Majesty?"
A Luo sighed and said: "You didn't see the emperor's sad look just now, otherwise you would understand the meaning of what the master just said. Except for the death of the late emperor, I have never seen the emperor so sad."
Zhichun said nonchalantly: "It is inevitable that a person will be a little sad when he dies suddenly, but there is nothing to worry about. It will naturally get better after a while."
A Luo shook his head and said: "The bad thing is that the emperor always thought that he forced the queen to death. He is sad and guilty. You can imagine the emperor's mood. As the master said, there will be trouble, even..."
Zhichun waited for a while but didn't see her continue, so he couldn't help but ask: "What even?"
Xia Qing said from the side: "Even the emperor will take back the decree of deposing the queen."
Zhichun said in surprise: "This...isn't this possible? Chrysostom has already been opened, how can it be changed?"
Xianyue sighed and said: "Chrysostom has been opened, but the imperial edict has not yet been issued, so there is still room for maneuver in this matter. The emperor is a person who values love and justice, so..."
Zhichun said unconvinced: "The Queen's sins are so serious that it is imperative that she be deposed. How can the Emperor tolerate her just because she commits suicide? If so, it would be too childish."
"The word love is often difficult to understand with common sense; besides, how can a couple who have been married for eighteen years not miss each other at all?" After a pause, she said: "But I really can't understand why the queen committed suicide. If
He said it was just because he was afraid of the pain of being imprisoned in the cold palace, and he had to wait until Yong Cong's revenge was avenged."
