She is in charge of the Sixth Palace, so she can't let the queen commit suicide under her nose, right?
Even though it was against the imperial edict to visit the palace without authorization, at least she had Chen Fu to help her with the burden!
The peonies in the Louyue Kaiyun Hall have fallen from their peak, and the ground is red and no one has swept it away, which makes it look a little sparse. Although the majestic Nanmu Hall in the past still looks like it used to be, there is an air of dull decay everywhere. Even the Buddhist niches on the
A light layer of dust fell on them, and no one cleaned them.
This empress, who used to be extremely luxurious in the past, was lying on the couch deserted. Her face was dull, because her cheekbones were so thin and prominent, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of wrinkles. She looked ten years older than the last time we met.
Shu Jin couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it. He looked like he was half dead.
Now the people serving the queen are all unfamiliar palace maids and eunuchs - except for the leader eunuch Cui Jinzhong, the others have all been replaced.
"Queen?" Shu Jin called softly.
The queen had no reaction.
Cui Jinzhong stepped forward and saluted her, "Don't blame me, my dearest concubine, the empress... she just caused a scene, and this is what she looked like."
Shu Jin glanced at the wrist that was half-covered by the thin quilt...it was extremely slender, with several rounds of gauze hastily wrapped around it, and it was faintly dripping with blood.
Cui Jinzhong hurriedly moved a chair to her. Shu Jin sat down in front of the queen's bed and couldn't help but sigh: "Why are you doing this?"
As she said that, she glanced at Cui Jinzhong and knew that this guy was probably the emperor's man. Otherwise, how could he be the only one who was still alive and well when all the other confidants were killed with a stick?
"Eunuch Cui, go to the Imperial Pharmacy to get some medicine." Shu Jin said calmly.
How could Cui Jinzhong not know that the imperial concubine wanted to get rid of her? It was just a medicine for her wounds. Why did the chief eunuch need to run errands?
But this noble concubine was now the one who had the say in the harem. How could Cui Jinzhong dare not listen? He quickly said "yes" and withdrew in despair.
"The emperor has decreed that your mother be posthumously named Doroggeg, which can be regarded as giving the old man some dignity." Shu Jin had no choice but to try to comfort her.
The queen's eyelids trembled slightly, her eyes moist, "What's the use of being granted a title after death?"
Shu Jin said straightforwardly: "It is indeed of no benefit to the deceased, but to the living... on the one hand, it is a relief, and on the other hand, it also saves some face of the Ulanara clan."
The queen was in a bad situation, and Ulanara naturally suffered accordingly.
If the emperor is willing to give Mrs. Cheng'en such a posthumous title, the children of the Ulanara family will have a slightly easier life in the future.
The queen sneered softly, "The emperor just doesn't want the world to criticize him for being mean!"
Shu Jin thought to himself: Is it too late to realize that the emperor is mean now?
"The deceased is dead, so why should the Queen make such a fuss? On the one hand, she will hurt herself, and on the other hand... she may even anger the Emperor." - Yongzheng is angry, and your whole family will not have a good life.
The queen closed her eyes, tears falling from the corners of her eyes, "I just want to know if the emperor will come to see me."
Shu Jin spread his hands, have you seen the result now?
The queen smiled bitterly, "Haha," he said, "He didn't care about the relationship between husband and wife for more than twenty years! My mother-in-law was seriously ill, and he actually asked people to hide it from me! I, I can't see my mother for the last time!" said,
The queen burst into tears, with indescribable grief in her eyes.
Shu Jin was silent for a moment and then said: "Actually, the emperor went to visit Prince Yi and is not in the garden at the moment."
The queen shook her head, "Even if he is in the garden, will he come?"
Shu Jin secretly shook his head.
The Queen slowly turned her gaze over. She looked at the Concubine Yu in front of her, who was still as wealthy as ever. "Why do you want to come to see me?" - If it were anyone else, it would definitely be to see her laugh.
, but Concubine Yu...
Shu Jin was speechless for a while, you've already cut your wrists! Can I still ignore it?
I am the concubine in power! If you commit suicide under my rule, I will have to bear the responsibility?!
"Empress, if you are dissatisfied with your food, clothing, and chews in the future, just ask Cui Jinzhong to come and tell me, and I will try my best to satisfy you." - Please don't commit suicide?!
If you commit suicide, your whole family will have nothing to eat, and I will have to suffer too!
The queen sighed quietly: "I know that since you took power, you have never neglected me."
Shu Jin sighed: "Your life now is at least much better than when Li Guiren was grounded."
The queen was startled: "Guiren Li?"
Shu Jin hurriedly explained: "He is Qi Guiren. He made a fuss a while ago and wanted to be reinstated, but was deprived of his title by the emperor."
The queen's old hatred suddenly swept through her heart, and she couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said: "She is talking nonsense!" - I am not free, but she still wants to restore her position?!
Shu Jin hurriedly took the opportunity to say: "If you really die like this, I'm afraid Li Guiren will be extremely happy."
The Queen was so angry that her nose twisted when she thought of that scene.
Shu Jin thought to himself that it was useless for Xiao Zhi to use reason to move people's hearts. At this time, it is the enemy who can infuriate people's hearts even more!
Shu Jin continued: "Li Guiren has also been banned by the emperor now, but the third elder brother has been accused of an excellent marriage. In the future, Fujin will be Dong E, the daughter of Shangshu Hilda. It is said that she is dignified, virtuous, and good-looking."
Sure enough, the queen was furious after hearing this. She ignored the cuts on her wrists and climbed up from the bed, "Why?! She deserves such a good daughter-in-law?!"
As she said that, the queen grabbed Shu Jin's sleeve and said, "You also have a son, how come you just watch the third elder brother get such a good marriage?"
Shu Jin was speechless, "The prince's marriage has its own holy decree, how can I stop it? To put it bluntly, I, the noble concubine, am just a housekeeper who takes care of the sundries. If I dare to violate the holy will, I, the noble concubine, will do my best.
!”
The queen was startled and then burst into tears, "She has a son, so she can turn over, but my son Honghui... has died long ago. If my child is still alive, the emperor will not be so heartless..."
Shu Jin rubbed his brows, wondering why he started crying again.
She cried and made noises now and then, and it was not easy for the palace attendants such as Luoyue Kaiyun to serve.
"Okay, okay, at least you are still well-dressed and well-educated now. If you left things like murdering the emperor's heir to others, you would have been dead a long time ago. For example, if Su Chang was here, the grass on the tomb of the concubine's mausoleum would be three feet high!" Shu
Jin tried to comfort him.
The queen frowned: "Su is dead? How did she die?"
Shu Jin said calmly: "Postpartum hemorrhage."
The queen was stunned: "Postpartum? When did she become pregnant?"
Oh, I almost forgot, the queen had been locked up at that time, and the information was blocked, so naturally she didn't know.
"After being thrown into the cold palace." Shu Jin briefly stated Su Changzai's experience. It was nothing more than that she saved the Su family from the cold palace and kept her mother and daughter safe. Unfortunately, because she was just a princess, Su family was sad and worried.
Then, his body failed again, and he suffered from metrorrhagia and death.
The queen was silent for a long time, and couldn't help showing suspicion: "Is it Concubine Atsushi who killed her?"
Shu Jin was speechless, this really wasn't the rice cake's pot.
