In the Lianyang Palace, Long Chenyun was sitting at the desk in front of the window, drawing something, when a sudden announcement came to his ears, "The Queen Mother has arrived!"
He put down the pen in his hand, stood up, walked to the inner hall, knelt down to greet the Empress Dowager, who was wearing a bright red phoenix robe, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Common people see the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
The Empress Dowager walked to Long Chenyun who was kneeling on the ground, bent down to help him up, and said: "Yun'er, get up quickly. Our mother has been resting in Taiye Palace all day, and she doesn't know when you will return to the palace. Let her take a good look at it."
you!"
Long Chenyun stood up and took a step back, looked at the Empress Dowager, lowered his head and said: "I'd like to thank the Empress Dowager for worrying about it. Yun'er is just a commoner now, how can he be qualified to call the Empress Dowager the mother queen."
The Queen Mother sighed secretly, pulled Long Chenyun to sit down at the table, and said meaningfully: "The Queen Mother knows that you have suffered a lot over the years. Have you met your mother and concubine when you return to the palace this time?"
Long Chenyun shook his head gently and said: "After Yun'er came back, she was banned in Lianyang Palace. She hasn't gone to see her mother and concubine yet. Yun'er is still a criminal, so what qualifications do she have to see her mother and concubine."
The Empress Dowager patted his hand and said in a deep voice: "You child, you are just a commoner. The blood on your body is royal blood. This is something that cannot be changed. It is precisely because of this that the emperor made a speech in front of the ministers.
I will try my best to save your life."
Long Chenyun lowered his eyes, and after a while, he said: "Yun'er will bear in mind the emperor's kindness. It's all because of Yun'er's confusion that he committed a heinous crime. To be able to survive till now is already a sign of the emperor's great kindness."
The Empress Dowager looked at him with distressed eyes, patted his hand and said: "You can rest assured that you miss my mother so much. Seeing you become so thin, my mother will feel distressed! If your mother and concubine see you like this
With such appearance, how can I feel better in my heart?"
Long Chenyun raised his eyes to look at the Empress Dowager and saw her face full of concern, and his heart trembled. In the past, when he was the prince, the Empress Dowager was very kind to him.
Now, as a commoner with a low status, the Queen Mother could still treat him like this, which inevitably moved his heart. He immediately said: "Mother is worried."
The Empress Dowager frowned, looked at the palace maid behind her and said, "Bingjing, go and ask the imperial kitchen to stew some good tonics and make some delicious side dishes!"
After obeying the order, Mei Mei immediately retreated.
Long Chenyun said hurriedly: "Queen Mother Yun'er is not hungry, so there is no need to bother the imperial cook!"
The Empress Dowager glared at him angrily, "Are you doing this deliberately to make your mother worried? If you don't take care of yourself, how can your mother take you to see your mother-in-law and make your mother-in-law feel distressed?"
Seeing what the Empress Dowager said, Long Chen couldn't resist Yun'er's arrival, so he had to lower his head and thanked her: "Thank you, Empress Mother, for your concern. Yun'er will definitely obey your orders!"
Half an hour later, Meili brought several side dishes and tonic ginseng soup into Lianyang Palace and placed them in front of Long Chenyun.
The Empress Dowager brought the supplements to Long Chenyun, served him a few more dishes, and said lovingly: "Eat quickly, eat more to maintain your health."
Long Chenyun smiled at the Queen Mother, picked up the ginseng soup and drank it.
The Empress Dowager watched Long Chenyun drink the ginseng soup, then moved the dish in front of him, "Your father, when he was alive, loved you and Yi'er the most——"
Long Chenyun took a few bites of the food, then put down his chopsticks, his face full of guilt and self-blame, "Yooner is unfilial, Yuner has let down his father's best intentions, Yuner——"
Before he finished speaking, a sweet smell came out of his throat. Long Chenyun turned pale, covered his cramped abdomen, and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
The Empress Dowager looked coldly at Long Chenyun, who was pale and vomiting blood, and said in a tone full of hatred: "Your father loves you so much and wants to leave the kingdom of the dynasty in your hands.
But you poisoned your father. You should have been sentenced to death five years ago. Yi'er spared your life, but you didn't want to repent. You still wanted to accumulate strength secretly, collude with foreign parties to usurp the throne, and mourn your family.
How can I keep you?"
"hehe--"
Long Chenyun wiped the black blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly. He should have thought that the result after returning to the palace would be clear.
With his current status, why did the Empress Dowager come to visit him in person and inquire about his welfare?
"Is this what the emperor meant?"
He was lying in front of the table, his face full of pain, and the blood from the corner of his mouth flowed along the table to the ground.
"No, it's what the Aijia means. Your father loves you so much. Now that he is gone, as his most beloved son, you should accompany him. But don't worry, your mother and concubine will be with you soon.
Get together."
There was a look of resentment on the Empress Dowager's face, without the slightest bit of kindness and care she had before.
"Haha——" Long Chenyun smiled bitterly, "Back then, my mother-in-law was poisoned. Did you secretly poison her medicine, causing my mother-in-law to become insane and insane?"
The smile on the Empress Dowager's face turned weird, "Yes, it was the Ai family who secretly poisoned your mother-in-law's medicine, turning her into a lunatic and losing her favor, and she was relegated to the cold palace from then on!"
"I should have thought earlier that besides you, the Queen Mother, who else in this harem could harm my mother and concubine - poof -."
Before he finished speaking, Long Chenyun felt severe pain in his abdomen piercing his intestines, he violently vomited out a pool of black blood, and his eyes slowly closed.
The Queen Mother stood up, looked coldly at the dying Long Chenyun, turned and left with a smile.
As soon as Long Chenyi and Mu Tianxue left the imperial study, they saw a guard rushing towards the imperial study. The two looked at each other and couldn't help but frown.
"You are so impudent. In front of the Emperor and Queen, how can you be allowed to be reckless and disrespectful?"
Seeing the guards rushing towards him, Haiqi immediately stepped forward and scolded him.
"In my humble position, I recklessly bumped into the Emperor and the Queen. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and the Queen!"
The guards who rushed over immediately knelt down to apologize.
"Aren't you guarding outside the Lianyang Palace? Why are you kneeling down to the imperial study in such a hurry? But something happened!"
Mu Tianxue frowned and asked coldly. Judging from the flustered look on the guard's face, it seemed like something big had happened.
"Go back to the emperor, queen, your highness, he has been -" the guard lowered his head, trembling and stuttering, and said: "Your highness, he has been poisoned and died."
Mu Tianxue and Long Chen were also shocked, their expressions instantly became solemn, and they quickly walked towards Lianyang Palace.
As soon as they entered Lianyang Palace, they smelled the smell of blood. Mu Tianxue and Long Chen also walked into the inner hall and saw Long Chenyun lying lifeless on the table.
Mu Tianxue frowned deeply, took off the hairpin from her head, tried the dishes on the table, and asked coldly: "Who sent this food?"
The guards around him hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother learned that His Highness had returned to the palace, so she came to visit His Highness. These meals were sent by the Queen Mother."
Hearing this, Long Chenyi's eyes flashed with darkness, he glanced at the dead Long Chenyun, turned around and left Lianyang Palace.
Mu Tianxue frowned, sighed secretly, and then left Lianyang Palace.
