"Death?" The Queen Mother couldn't accept it and said sternly: "You are talking nonsense!"
Mu Yunhan prostrated on the ground: "Please express my condolences."
The queen burst into tears loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up..."
Princess Huaichang shouted: "King Xinling has committed regicide! Your Majesty has passed away!"
"Shut up!" The Queen Mother gradually calmed down, stood up with a cold expression, walked to the emperor, and tried his breathing with trembling hands.
Seeing that he had lost his breath and his face was black and blue, he screamed: "My son! My son!"
She cried and knelt down on the ground, trembling as she touched the emperor's face: "It's me, it's me..."
She wanted to say that she had killed the emperor, but the words came to her lips and she swallowed them again.
Gu Fenglin told her that the emperor died because of his concubines Zhen and Su.
It just so happened that she had long disliked Concubine Zhen and Concubine Su, and they both happened to be pregnant. She wanted to get rid of the two girls, but she only needed helpers.
She also proposed to Gu Fenglin to do something, but Gu Fenglin refused.
The reason is that priests cannot participate in these, otherwise chaos will occur.
Meng Xiang vaguely revealed this intention, and together with King Shou and Gu Yilan, the situation was formed.
She only thought that as long as she killed Concubine Zhen and Concubine Su, the emperor would not die.
Unexpectedly, what was supposed to happen happened.
By some coincidence, if he had not killed Concubine Zhen and Concubine Su, the emperor would not have abandoned King Shou's mother and son, causing King Shou to resent him.
If it were not for Zhen Concubine and Su Concubine died, the emperor would not have quarreled with her and the guards would not have been transferred.
King Shou would have no chance to break in, no chance to assassinate, and the emperor would not necessarily die.
So, is this life?
The Queen Mother was always in tears, regretting her mistake and crying uncontrollably.
The queen wiped her tears hard, supported her, and said in a deep voice: "Mother, now is not the time to be sad, the country is important."
The Queen Mother angrily vented her anger on the Queen: "Your husband is dead, but you only remember authority!"
The queen was startled and cried sadly: "Mother, my daughter-in-law has been wronged!"
Princess Huaichang cried loudly: "Grandmother, please calm down and put the overall situation first!"
The Queen Mother was always a decisive person in killing. Even though she was deeply hurt by the loss of her son, she quickly regained her composure and said in a deep voice: "Pass the decree, seal the palace gates, put the whole city under martial law, inform the prince, the priests, Meng Xiang, Shou
king!"
After the decree was announced, the palace officials began to clean up the mess.
Only then did Mu Yunhan have time to review the whole process and found that the person who just hit King Xinling with the coffee table and then threw him down to protect the Queen Mother was actually Huaichang.
As for Gu Yilan, during the whole process, he didn't make any movement at all, as if he didn't exist.
This doesn't make sense.
After taking a closer look, I found him huddled in the corner, motionless.
Mu Yunhan was suspicious, so he walked over cautiously and whispered, "Uncle Ninth? Uncle Ninth?"
Gu Yilan had no reaction.
She tentatively grabbed his shoulders, trying to straighten him up.
What I saw was a pale, lifeless face.
Mu Yunhan was startled. She had never seen such an ugly face. Even the dead emperor's face was prettier than this.
She cautiously stretched out her hand to detect Gu Yilan's breathing, lest he jump up like those little white mice and bite her and not let go.
Gu Yilan was very quiet, she had completely fainted and was unconscious.
Princess Huaichang came over and asked, "Master Taichang Temple, what's going on?"
Mu Yunhan shook his head: "I don't know, maybe he is sick."
Princess Huaichang opened her eyes wide: "Isn't he okay? Why isn't he okay?"
