Thinking like this, Hongli finally made up his mind and walked to Yanxi Palace. Wei Jingxuan was reluctant to do so, but she knew her position and identity, so she didn't say anything.
He followed in with Sixi.
There are obviously thousands of words to say, but when they looked at each other, neither Hongli nor Xianyue knew what to say for a moment. After a long time, Hongli finally asked: "Are you okay?"
Xianyue looked up at him and said softly: "Not good."
Facing her eyes, Hongli looked complicated and said: "Why? Are you blaming me?"
Xianyue shook her head and said: "No, I am blaming myself. Over the years, I have been trying hard to do well, but in the end... I found that I have not done anything well."
Hongli was aroused by her words, and he sighed softly and said: "No, you did a good job. The bad person is me. When we got married, I promised to be good to Mingyu for the rest of my life.
In the end, she was forced to death; you helped me bring down Inge
At that time, I said that I would give you a lifetime of honor and favor, but in the end, I scolded and scolded you again and again; and Yonghuang, he hates me so much just thinking about it now." At this point, he said
He smiled sadly and said, "Xiayue, am I a failure?"
"No, the Emperor did a great job. You did not force the Queen to die. As for the concubine..." She said softly: "I have never blamed the Emperor."
Hongli's eyes brightened slightly, "Are you serious?"
Xianyue sighed quietly and said: "Yes, because all the mistakes were caused by my concubine. If I was not from the Nala clan, or if the emperor did not marry my concubine as a side Fujin that day, then what would happen today?"
Nothing will happen."
Hongli shook his head with a smile and said: "There are so many what-ifs in the world. They are all destined." After that, he stroked his pale cheek and said: "You and I don't want to mention the past anymore.
Is it okay?"
Xianyue understood that Hongli was asking for peace, and she would not object. She nestled in his arms, enjoying the long-lost warmth and tranquility. For a long time, Hongli's voice came to her ears, "That day, after you left,
I saw a young eunuch who was burning paper money. He said that he had seen the queen's soul wandering in Kunning Palace, and said that if she could not spit out the spit, she would not be able to embark on the road to death."
Xianyue pretended to be surprised and raised her head and said, "So, are the rumors true? Is the Queen really still lingering in this world?" After Hongli nodded, she said, "Then what is the Emperor going to do?"
Hongli said ambivalently: "I really want to help the queen embark on the road to death, but in this case, the coffin will inevitably be opened and the queen's body will even be damaged. How can I do this?"
Xianyue's eyebrows moved slightly and she said: "I know what the emperor is worried about. If you want the queen to rest in peace, this is the only way. However, maybe the imperial doctor has a way to make the queen vomit out without damaging her body.
That water in your throat."
Hongli thought for a moment and said: "There is no better way now, so let's send the imperial doctor over and ask."
Not long after, a group of imperial doctors led by Imperial Physician Fang gathered in the Yanxi Palace. When they heard the question raised by Hongli, they all frowned. The empress was already dead. Even if the body did not rot, she would have been lost long ago.
With all the functions, it was impossible to spit out the saliva on her own initiative. The only way was to cut her throat and take out the water inside. However, Hongli also said that the body should not be damaged, which really put them in a difficult position.
Hongli waited for a long time without seeing any reply from them. He glanced at all the imperial doctors and said coldly: "What's the matter? No one has thought of a way?"
Doctor Fang scratched his head and said: "Your Majesty, if the body cannot be touched, I...can't do anything." After him, other doctors also expressed their opinions, but Song Zihua was the only one who remained silent, making him stand out among all the doctors.
, suddenly became abrupt.
Hongli stared at him and said, "Emperor Song, do you have any idea?"
Song Zihua took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "To report to the emperor, I have indeed thought of a way, but I don't know if it is feasible?"
Hongli perked up and said quickly: "What is the method? Tell me quickly!"
"Wei Chen once saw a special method of pressing acupuncture points. It can be used on whether it is a living person or a deceased person, as long as the body is not rotten. It may be possible to use this method to force the water out of the throat; but can it?
Success, Weichen dare not say." These words were discussed by Song Zihua and Xiayue a long time ago. In fact, there is no method of pressing acupoints, but they are just used to let Hongli open the coffin, and then lead Wei Jingxuan to murder Mingyu.
Just one thing.
Xianyue said from the side: "Your Majesty, maybe you can try the method of the imperial physician of the Song Dynasty."
Hongli nodded and ordered all the imperial doctors except Song Zihua to step back, and then said: "Physician Song, how sure are you of this matter?"
Song Zihua glanced at Xianyue quickly and said, "It should be 70%."
"Seventy percent..." Hongli murmured and repeated these two words. After a long time, he finally made up his mind, "Okay, choose a day to open the coffin, and you will force out the saliva for the queen, so that she can die from now on. I don't care.
No matter what you think of in the past few days, it will definitely happen on the day the coffin is opened, do you understand?"
Faced with Hongli's cold and solemn words, Song Zihua clapped his sleeves and knelt down and said: "I obey the decree and will definitely live up to the emperor's trust!"
After Song Zihua stood up, Wei Jingxuan said cautiously: "Your Majesty, do you really want to open the coffin? But since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there has never been an example of a queen being buried with an open coffin. I'm afraid it is not good to do so."
Before Hongli could say anything, Xia Qing said coldly: "Is it bad, or are you afraid?!"
Wei Jingxuan's eyelids twitched and she said, "What you said is so strange. Why should I be afraid?"
"Why? You..." Xia Qing just said a few words, but was interrupted by Xianyue, "In front of the emperor, you are not allowed to be arrogant, and you have to step back quickly!"
Xia Qing stood there, clenching her hands hard. She knew that Xianyue didn't want to tell their guesses without any evidence, but every time she saw Wei Jingxuan's disgusted face, she couldn't help but think
To tear it apart.
Seeing that something was wrong, A Luo hurriedly came to Xia Qing and whispered: "Do you want to ruin the master's plan at this time?"
Xia Qing stared at Wei Jingxuan for a long time, and finally retreated with A Luo. Hongli said: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by what Xia Qing said?"
Xianyue's mind changed, she raised her brows and lowered her eyes and said: "Your Majesty, please remember that Xia Qing served in Kunning Palace for a while. Although she was expelled from Kunning Palace because of her mistakes, she always remembers the relationship between master and servant.
Yi, the queen passed away suddenly, she was very
She was so sad that she often told her concubine that if Wei Jingxuan and Ji You had been more careful that day or stayed in the room with the Queen, things would not have turned out like this. She always thought that Wei Jingxuan had harmed the Queen.
