Aunt Lu couldn't bear to say: "The Queen Mother, the priest has been ordered to go to the north to quell the chaos, which is thousands of miles away from here."
Empress Dowager Shen was in a panic and didn't know what to do.
She was not good at handling government affairs, and she did not easily interfere in these matters on a daily basis.
Her son was there when her husband died, but now that he is gone, she doesn't know who to look for.
"Who can be trusted?" she asked Eunuch Jin. The top priority was to enforce martial law throughout the city and control the situation.
Eunuch Jin said: "Your Majesty, you can summon Lu Ziyang, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, and tell him that your Majesty is suddenly ill, and ask him to put the whole city under martial law. Then secretly announce the entry of Marquis Chengen and ask him to coordinate the overall situation."
This is the first step, and then other arrangements can be made.
My son is dead and can never be saved.
She has to guard against not only her ministers, but also King Shou.
Empress Dowager Shen wiped away her tears, ordered people to seal off the palace, put on a clean dress and went to the imperial study room, where she urgently summoned the commander of the imperial army and her brothers.
Queen Zou woke up from her dream. She shouted hoarsely: "Where is that cheap maid Xifu? I want to see the Queen Mother!"
The palace attendant said coldly and quietly: "My Queen, please respect yourself. The Queen Mother is busy at the moment and has no time to see you."
Empress Zou was dominated by a strong desire to survive. She knew that she could not argue with what happened today. When Empress Dowager Shen recovered, she would be the first to be dealt with.
But she was wronged. She didn't want to die. She pulled out the hairpin from her head and stuffed it into the hands of the palace servant: "It was Xifu who did it. Tell the Queen Mother and Jin Dazhong that there is a conspiracy..."
The palace servants dared to ask for her things, so they hurriedly pushed them away and hid far away: "Queen, don't worry, I won't wrong you. The Queen Mother will come to see you when she has time."
Queen Zou fell down on the couch in despair, touching her deflated belly, despairing of all hope.
Why did God do this to her?
Why does Xifu do this?
She whispered: "What about Xifu? Where is Xifu? What did she say?"
The palace servant looked at her sympathetically, hesitated for a long time, and then whispered: "Xifu has been saying that the empress had a dispute with His Majesty and accidentally killed the king..."
Queen Zou looked at the beams of the room in despair, her whole body was frozen.
She knew that she was doomed. Xifu was her confidant and had always been her favorite. Everyone knew this.
As the only palace official present at the scene that night, Xifu's words played a decisive role.
Even if it is proven that Xifu did it, she will not be able to escape the blame.
Before that, the emperor rushed to her palace angrily to question her. Not only Eunuch Jin knew about it, but also countless people in her palace saw it.
She can't escape.
She cried first, then laughed crazily.
Why was her life so miserable in her life? She was struggling so hard not to fall back into the mud, but why...
She stopped suddenly and looked at the window lattice expectantly.
Will he come to save her?
He is so powerful and has such good skills, as long as he is willing, he can always lead her to escape.
She doesn't want anything anymore, she just wants to live, plan well, and maybe stand up again one day. After all, Yan'er is her child.
But the window was always closed tightly, and the person she wanted to see never appeared.
Instead, there was a scream from the place where Xifu was imprisoned. Xifu was lying on the ground, vomiting blood, and he died within a short time.
A thunder sounded, and lightning lit up half of the capital.
