Eight hundred and thirtieth IX undercurrent (three)
Queen Mother Yu met her sister-in-law during the day and mentioned Concubine Yu Shu. At night, her dead cousin fell asleep again.
"Yu Lianniang!" A pair of hands strangled her neck tightly, and in front of her was a ferocious and twisted face: "You killed me, why did you kill my son."
"If you hadn't deliberately added fuel to the flames and ordered my son to go to the imperial mausoleum, how could Ah Che have fallen into the trap of the vassals and been shot to death by random arrows!"
"You poisonous woman! You are the cause of all this! I can't spare you! I will take you underground now, and we will stay together on the road to hell..."
roll!
Get out of here!
Her breathing was short and difficult, and she wanted to scream angrily but couldn't make a sound.
She stretched out her hand, trying to push away the face that was getting closer and closer.
"The Queen Mother!" A familiar anxious female voice rang in her ears, waking her up from her nightmare: "Is the Queen Mother having another nightmare?"
Queen Mother Yu suddenly opened her eyes, covered in cold sweat, there was still a trace of fear in her eyes, and her hands were trembling.
Zhilan wiped the cold sweat of Queen Mother Yu with a handkerchief and comforted her softly: "Don't panic, Queen Mother. It's just a nightmare!"
yes!
It's just a nightmare!
He crawled at her feet when he was alive, and he couldn't stand up after he died!
Queen Mother Yu took a few deep breaths to calm her panting chest. Under Zhilan's care, she drank half a cup of hot tea before falling asleep again.
This time I still couldn't sleep well.
At the fourth watch, the Yu family hurriedly sent a letter of mourning to the palace. Mr. Yu went there at midnight.
…
Master Yu died peacefully and did not suffer much before his death.
As an old man in his seventies, he has enjoyed decades of glory and is respected and admired by everyone wherever he goes. Master Yu is definitely a top figure among Daqi officials.
Unfortunately, no one can transcend birth, old age, illness and death.
Mr. Yu fell ill for a long time and passed away in his sleep.
The Yu family had made preparations before the year, and prepared for the funeral ceremony in an orderly manner. However, when Master Yu died, the Yu family seemed to be half in bed, and people could not help but feel panicked.
When Queen Mother Yu heard the bad news, she was shocked and sad. She vomited blood and then fainted.
As a result, everyone in the palace was alarmed.
When Xiao Yuhan rushed to Jiaofang Hall, the emperor and empress were already there first.
Under the soft candlelight, Queen Mother Yu's face was pale, and the blood stain on the quilt was even more shocking.
"There is no resurrection after death," Sheng Hong said with a worried and anxious look, fully showing his filial piety as a son: "Please express my condolences, Queen Mother."
Xie Mingxi also looked worried: "My mother was so sad that she vomited her blood. My daughter-in-law wishes she could take her own life instead."
The empress said everything that needed to be said, and Xiao Yuhan stood quietly by the bed without saying a word.
Empress Dowager Yu's eyes were shining with tears, and her voice was trembling and intermittent: "The pain of losing my father is heartbreaking. The Ai family is in poor health and cannot go to express condolences to their biological father. Can the emperor go on behalf of the Ai family?"
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed coldly.
At this time, Queen Mother Yu did not forget to play tricks and scheming. It seems that her feelings for her biological father were not that deep.
The emperor's personal visit to express his condolences was a sign of his favor to the Yu family. If she agreed to this, Empress Dowager Yu would immediately mention that the Duke of Cheng'en would be inherited by her descendants.
Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi quickly looked at each other and understood.
"Your Majesty," Empress Dowager Yu grabbed Sheng Hong's hand with a look of sadness in her eyes: "Can't Your Majesty also respond to the Ai family for such a trivial matter?"
Sheng Hong showed a look of embarrassment and opened his mouth and sighed: "If it is anything else, I will never shirk it. It is really not etiquette for the emperor to come to express condolences for a minister. If I agree to this matter and go to the Yu family, there will be something wrong in the future."
The censor impeached the Yu family. How can I bear to blame the Yu family for this?"
Empress Dowager Yu's eyes were full of sorrow and anger. She used force in her hands and her long nails left two deep marks on the back of Sheng Hong's hands: "The Ai family knows that the emperor was not born in the Ai family. The emperor has nothing to do with the Yu family."
I don’t have feelings, so I don’t want to go.”
It was impossible for Queen Mother Yu not to be frightened and sad after her biological father died. However, it was not to the point of complete chaos.
The anxiety and anger at this time are half true and half false.
All this behavior is to force Sheng Hong to go to the Yu family!
…
As a man, it is useless to argue with a woman whether you win or lose.
What's more, Empress Dowager Yu has the advantage of being a legitimate mother, and Sheng Hong, a bastard, will always be in trouble no matter how she responds.
Sheng Hong had a headache and quickly thought of countermeasures in his mind.
At this moment, Xie Mingxi leaned down and held Queen Mother Yu's hand, allowing Sheng Hong's hand to "escape".
Xie Mingxi calmly held Queen Mother Yu's hand hard, making it difficult for Queen Mother Yu to move. Queen Mother Yu's eyes flashed with fire, and she glared at Xie Mingxi: "How outrageous!"
Xie Mingxi still had a concerned look on her face, but the strength in her hands was not loosened at all: "Master Yu has passed away, and the grief in my mother's heart is unbearable. Both my daughter-in-law and the emperor can understand. However, my mother must not hurt the emperor's heart because of the Yu family's affairs."
"The emperor has always been respectful and close to his mother, and there has never been any estrangement between his legitimate mother and his concubine. What does the empress say today, where does that leave the emperor's filial piety?"
"Could it be that in the Queen Mother's heart, the Yu family is more important than the love between mother and child?"
Queen Mother Yu: "..."
The young empress was determined. Not only could she, the empress dowager, not be able to control her concubine, but she was squeezed out by her daughter-in-law until she was speechless.
Empress Dowager Yu was brutally turned against her entire army! She was so angry that she didn’t need to describe it in detail.
Sheng Hong had already taken over Xie Mingxi's words: "My mother is kind and loves my son the most. How can the affairs of the Yu family surpass the deep love between our mother and son? Mingxi, please don't say anything that hurts my mother's heart."
Xie Mingxi pretended to admit her mistake: "What the emperor said was that I made a mistake in a moment of impatience."
Sheng Hong immediately said: "My mother is generous and generous, and she will not argue with you."
Looking at the young couple singing together, for some reason, Empress Dowager Yu felt a faint sense of jealousy in her heart.
When she married Emperor Jianwen, she was extremely affectionate. However, Emperor Jianwen was quite filial, and Empress Dowager Li deliberately made things difficult for her, so she was always the one to endure it or support her.
Emperor Jianwen never stepped forward to protect her.
How could Xie Mingxi be so virtuous and capable, how could she have the emperor's dedicated love and wholehearted care?
Why could Xie Mingxi have what she had been asking for so easily?
There was sudden silence in the bedroom.
Queen Mother Yu didn't know what she was thinking, and her face became increasingly gloomy and ugly.
Xiao Yuhan cleared his throat and opened his mouth to smooth things over: "It is not appropriate for the emperor to leave the palace, and the queen has to take care of the emperor's grandmother. My daughter-in-law took the liberty of taking the initiative to ask for help. How about going to the Yu family as a surrogate mother?"
Before Empress Dowager Yu could say anything, Sheng Hong had already cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Sister-in-law."
No matter what, he and Xie Mingxi would never show up in the Yu family, and they would never give anyone the slightest chance of misunderstanding.
