There was deathly silence in the Spring Pavilion in the back hall of Yanxi Palace.
The sunlight shines in through the gaps between the window lattice, creating spots and swaying between light and dark.

Queen Mother Zhang sat in front of the window, looking out the window with dull eyes. The autumn wind blew the leaves in the garden, and the fallen leaves fell one after another, spinning and swaying to the ground. There were layers of fallen leaves on the stone steps, and everything was covered with flowers.
Autumn mood.
In the distance, there were faint sounds of hustle and bustle, and even panicked screams. In the past, she would have naturally stood up immediately and asked what happened. But at this moment, Queen Mother Zhang did not respond at all, as if everything in the world
It has nothing to do with herself, she is indifferent to everything around her.
After being dragged back from the main hall by the maids, Queen Mother Zhang sat here like a piece of dead wood, motionless, neither crying nor fussing. Her mind was now blank, and her heart was as gray as ashes.
She has understood everything, understood all the actions of Yang Ting and this hypocrite, and understood that the death of her son Zhu Houzhao must be caused by Yang Tinghe. She also completely understood that the words that Zhang Yanling had been persuading for so many years were right.
.I understand that everything Zhang Yanling said about Yang Tinghe's actions when he came to see me for the last time not long ago is true.
However, I was so stupid that I didn't want to believe anything my younger brother said. I stubbornly believed that my younger brother had changed, wanted to dominate the court, and wanted to be rebellious, so I had to get rid of Yang Tinghe, a thorn in my side, so I made up that bizarre story.
.
A few years ago, Zhang Yanling had a heart-to-heart relationship with him. He told himself that he did not object to his pursuit of love and knew his difficulties. But he must not be taken advantage of by others. Because he was the queen mother and the emperor's mother, there would be people
Make your own decisions, in order to take advantage of your own identity and status.
Although Zhang Yanling did not explicitly state the relationship between herself and Yang Tinghe, she could tell that he was mirroring her. At that time, she felt that those words were so harsh. How could he say such things to herself? How could he slander the relationship between himself and Yang Tinghe?
That never
I have never had a true love. How could I describe this relationship as so dirty and utilitarian? But now that I think about it, this is a relationship full of deception and sordidness. I foolishly believed Yang Tinghe’s sincerity, but I didn’t know that Yang Tinghe was just for
Take advantage of yourself.
The younger brother has given himself too much tolerance. In fact, he has known about his relationship with Yang Tinghe for a long time, but he has never made it clear. He only persuaded him with sincerity. In order to prevent the scandal from being known, he even got rid of the people around him.
The insider wanted to protect his reputation and hoped that he would repent. But at that time, he only felt that he was going too far and was too arrogant, and he even felt resentful in his heart.
She is a stupid woman. She was played by others without knowing it. She thought it was true love and thought she had found true love. It was so ridiculous. Now that I think about it, Yang Tinghe's words and deeds were full of loopholes.
But I actually still believe it. I am probably the stupidest woman in the world.
In the distance, the sharp bamboo whistle and the shouting of killing became louder, interrupting Queen Mother Zhang's thoughts. Queen Mother Zhang suddenly realized something, stood up suddenly, and shouted loudly toward the outside of the house.

"Come on, come on!"
The maids and eunuchs who were outside the door rushed in.
"Queen Mother, what are your orders?" Li Quan, the chief supervisor of the Yanxi Palace, asked with his head lowered.
Li Quan had just taken office for two months. It was after he took office that the eunuchs and maids in the Yanxi Palace underwent a major change. The people around the Queen Mother were changed all over. He was the one inserted by Yang Tinghe.
"What happened outside? Go tell Yang Ting and that thief that there is going to be a war, get out of the palace and fight. The palace is the Holy Land of the Ming Dynasty, not a place for a thief like him to run wild. Let him get out and leave the Ai family with the final peace.
"Empress Dowager Zhang said loudly.
Li Quan was silent and did not answer, nor did he move.
Empress Dowager Zhang scolded: "You're a slave, you're a slave, but you won't even give me a message?"
Li Quan sighed and said: "Queen Mother, it's not that this servant refuses, but...the words cannot be passed on. Don't worry, Queen Mother, the fight will be over in a while, the situation will calm down, and you won't hear the noise anymore."
Empress Dowager Zhang said angrily: "You dog slave, you bully your master like this, aren't you afraid of God's punishment?"
Li Quan sighed softly: "Queen Mother, what you are scolding is, but what can the slaves do? Can the slaves influence the situation? The slaves can only save their lives, otherwise they will be killed. The slaves deserve to die, but this is not
It’s the slaves’ fault.”

Queen Mother Zhang opened her mouth and was speechless. Yes, she was stupid and led the wolf into the house. How could she blame others?
"Li Quan, just tell me, King Jinghai... have they escaped from the palace?" Queen Mother Zhang asked softly.
"Queen Mother... I'll tell you the truth. The sound of fighting means that Yang Shoufu and the others found King Jinghai's hiding place. Now more than 2,000 guards are attacking the Wenhua Palace, where King Jinghai and his people are hiding.
"Everything will be over soon. King Jinghai and his friends only have a few dozen people, how can they escape?" Li Quan said in a deep voice.
Empress Dowager Zhang was shaken, staggered and almost fainted. She understood what Li Quan meant. The battle would be over soon, and Zhang Yanling would soon be caught or killed by Yang Ting and the others. This is the cruel fact.
"You guys go out." Empress Dowager Zhang waved her hand and said softly.
"Queen Mother..."
"Get out! Get out! Get out!" Queen Mother Zhang suddenly went crazy and grabbed the tea cups, saucers, teapots and other items on the table and smashed them over, causing them to shatter in all directions. A group of eunuchs and maids were frightened.
I had to quickly run away with my head in my hands.
Empress Dowager Zhang burst out laughing, tears streaming from her eyes, her whole body trembling with laughter, unable to stand, and she fell to the ground.
The sunlight coming through the window lattice moved slowly, and the dust danced in the light and shadow, forming dozens of bright light pillars. Empress Dowager Zhang sat on the ground, stretched out her hand and moved slowly in the light and shadow, staring at the light and shadow with dull eyes, her eyes blurred
Got up.
In the light and darkness, she saw a figure appearing in the darkness. The figure was sitting on the other side of the light beam, separated from Queen Mother Zhang by a fence made of sunlight, as if trapped on the opposite side.

Although the light was dim, Queen Mother Zhang could still clearly see the man's face and clothing.
The man was wearing a purple shirt, with a cloth band on his head, and a patch on the cuffs of his clothes. His face was calm. His eyes seemed stern, but he looked at himself with a hint of love. That was Zhu Youtang.
"Your Majesty! Why are you here?" Queen Mother Zhang cried out in surprise.
Zhu Youtang said: "Queen, it's been ten years since we last met. Do you still remember me?"
Empress Dowager Zhang shouted: "Of course I remember the Emperor, how could I not remember the Emperor?"
"Hahaha, that's good. I thought you had forgotten me. Over the years, I have rarely been able to enter your dreams. I thought you had completely forgotten me." Zhu Youtang laughed.
.
"I haven't forgotten. How could I forget the Emperor?" Queen Mother Zhang shouted.
"Oh? Really? Have you not forgotten me? Queen, have you lived happily for so many years? How is Zhao'er? How is my family? You are loyal to me, right? Hehehe." Zhu You.
Zang smiled and said it was weird.
Empress Dowager Zhang stared blankly at Zhu Youtang and said softly: "Your Majesty, are you here to ask questions? You know everything, right? Yes, I am a sinner, I am a sinful person. I'm sorry
You, I harmed Zhao'er, and I also harmed my little brother. Your Majesty, please kill me, please kill me. I don't deserve to live in this world."
Empress Dowager Zhang's eyes were filled with tears, and she collapsed on the ground.

Zhu Youtang nodded, raised his patched sleeves, and gently caressed Queen Mother Zhang's head through the light.
"Queen, I know you hate me because I betrayed you, so you took revenge on me. Now I am even with you. I have only loved you as a woman in my life. Oh, who would have thought that this would be the case?
The ending. Queen, life is short and very difficult. In fact, as soon as you leave, you will see everything and nothing will matter.
Yes. Queen, I am very lonely, and Zhao'er misses you too. How much I miss the days when our family was reunited. I wore the clothes you mended and ate the vegetables we grew ourselves, and had a great time. But I know I can't go back.
"I don't blame you, I don't blame you." Zhu Youtang's voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, warm and soft.
Empress Dowager Zhang raised her head and looked through her tearful eyes. Suddenly, Zhu Youtang's figure became broken and swaying, like a phantom disappearing without a trace. Empress Dowager Zhang got up and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty
, don’t go, don’t go.”
The next moment, severe pain came from her feet. Queen Mother Zhang looked down and saw that she had been walking around with bare feet on the ground at some point. She stepped on broken porcelain pieces on the ground and blood flowed all over the ground. And everything just now,
Like a dream, it disappeared without a trace.
Empress Dowager Zhang stood dumbfounded for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your Majesty, you came to call me, and I know it. Life is short, and I have made a big mistake that cannot be changed. Only death can wash away the sin."
.Your Majesty, I am going to meet you at the foot of the spring, and Zhao'er... I know that you are waiting for me."
Queen Mother Zhang walked slowly to the table and lit the candlestick. The candle flame danced, illuminating Queen Mother Zhang's pale face. She carried the candlestick to the layers of curtains and lit the curtains without hesitation.
.
The thin curtains burned quickly, and the flames became fierce in an instant, quickly igniting more curtains. In just a moment, the whole room was full of fire. Empress Dowager Zhang walked to the table, let down her long hair, and looked at the autumn sun outside the window.
, picked up the comb and slowly combed her long hair, letting the flames rise behind her, until the smoke and fire engulfed her body, she did not look back.
When the smoke and fire billowed out, the eunuchs and maids outside rushed in, but they quickly escaped crawling out. Because the whole room was full of fire and it was no longer controllable.
The fire rushed to the roof, ignited the apse, and burned extremely fiercely in the autumn wind, burning everything gorgeous and letting all the stories of grievances disappear with the wind and flames.
