With Empress Dowager Yu's appearance, everyone can tell that she is not going to die soon. All that's left is to endure the day, it just depends on how long it takes.
After Zhao Changqing exited the dormitory, he sighed quietly and looked gloomy.
She suddenly remembered the scene when she was young.
At that time, she was the most intelligent and outstanding student in Lianchi Academy. She was deeply appreciated by Empress Dowager Yu and became her teacher. At that time, Empress Dowager Yu was full of talents, gentle and generous, and was deeply respected and loved by all the students. She was
As a disciple, he respects and is close to his master.
After marrying into the Tian family as her daughter-in-law, she gradually got a glimpse of another side of Queen Mother Yu.
As a master, Queen Mother Yu was talented and happy to be a teacher, and was respected.
As the legitimate mother-in-law, Queen Mother Yu was awe-inspiring with her deep scheming and sharp methods.
Time is cruel and ruthless, and can change a person beyond recognition.
A person who knows the current affairs is a hero. For the safety of her children and for herself to have a stable footing, she abandoned the relationship between master and apprentice and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and chose to stand on the side of the emperor and empress.
But when she saw the dying Empress Dowager Yu lying on the bed, her heart felt like a huge stone weighing her down, heavy and extremely uncomfortable.
"Second sister-in-law," a familiar voice sounded in my ears.
Zhao Changqing came back to her senses, turned around and forced a smile at Yin Xiaoxiao. Her red eyes revealed her true emotions.
Yin Xiaoxiao's mood was not much better, and she sighed in a low voice: "Hateful people also have pitiable qualities. Seeing my mother like this makes me feel very uncomfortable."
"I still remember the time when my mother was my wife at Lianchi Academy. In the blink of an eye, things changed and people changed."
Zhao Changqing's nose felt sore and tears finally rolled down his face.
I don’t know if I am feeling sad for the seriously ill Empress Dowager Yu, or I am feeling sad for my lost years.
Yin Xiaoxiao also had red eyes.
The two of them looked at each other and looked at each other in silence.
The situation is obvious at the moment. The Emperor and the Queen Mother are completely opposite, and there is absolutely no room or possibility for relaxation. Xie Mingxi slowly rubbed the Queen Mother Yu with a soft knife, and the Queen Mother Yu, who was obsessed with scheming, was finally worn out.
Dry.
This is no wonder Xie Mingxi. If Xie Mingxi had not been ruthless, the person who was tortured to the point of death today would be Xie Mingxi.
The fight in the harem is more thrilling and exciting without the light and shadow of swords.
…
Queen Mother Yu was seriously ill this time, which was different from the past.
All the meals were unpalatable, and I only relied on decoctions and thin soups to survive every day. I coughed several times a day, sometimes with thick phlegm with blood. Every time I coughed, it was like earth-shattering. All the doctors in the imperial hospital
They all guarded Fulin Palace, fearing that they would not be well served.
Everyone in the harem knew that Empress Dowager Yu was going to die soon. She might die and return to the west at some time.
Xie Mingxi secretly ordered the preparation of things needed for the funeral.
Funerals were held one after another in the palace, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs was very familiar with the preparations for funerals.
When Princess Changping found out, she cried hard. With red and swollen eyes, she came to see Xie Mingxi: "I have some things that I don't like to say. If there is anything rude and abrupt, my brothers and sisters must not take offense."
Princess Changping is interceding for Empress Dowager Yu?
Xie Mingxi's eyes flashed slightly, and her words were extremely sincere: "There are no outsiders here, just our aunt and sister-in-law. There is nothing rude and abrupt when talking to my family. Whatever the emperor wants to say, just say it."
Princess Changping took out her handkerchief and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She took a deep breath, as if to exhale all the turbid air in her chest: "Then I'll tell you straight."
"My mother is seriously ill and she doesn't have much time left."
"My daughter is heartbroken. Thinking about her younger siblings, I feel very uncomfortable. She spends every day waiting for her illness in Fulin Palace and refuses to leave her mother, Queen Fengtan."
"They have nothing to do, and it is their duty to wait for the queen mother. As the queen of the middle palace, you have to deal with palace affairs, teach A Luo, and have countless things to worry about. It is the duty of waiting for the queen.
Just do it for a show. Come here once a day, that's all. There is really no need to stay in Fulin Palace all day."
Princess Changping looked at Xie Mingxi, with deep sadness and pleading in her eyes: "Brother and sister, what do you think?"
In the name of Xie Mingxi taking care of the disease, everyone could only praise the queen for her filial piety, and no one could fault her.
In fact, everyone knows that Xie Mingxi doesn't say or do anything. Just hanging around in front of Queen Mother Yu is the greatest torture to Queen Mother Yu.
For the sake of Queen Mother Yu's peace in her last days, Princess Changping lowered her proud head and came to beg Xie Mingxi in person.
Queen Mother Yu doesn't have much time left to live. Please, let her rest in peace and recuperate. At the worst, she doesn't have to hold in the unexpressable sullenness every day.
Xie Mingxi did not pretend not to understand. She looked at Princess Changping intently and said slowly: "The imperial sister is filial to her mother and considers her mother wholeheartedly. But she has not thought about me, my sister-in-law."
"My mother is seriously ill and all her daughters-in-law are waiting beside her bed to wait for her illness. How can I, the queen, be an exception?"
"I only go once a day, how will others criticize me in private?"
"Sister Huang, do you want me to be known as disobedient and unfilial?"
Speaking of the last sentence, Xie Mingxi's tone revealed a hint of coldness.
Princess Changping felt nervous and hurriedly explained: "The queen has misunderstood. I never meant this. The queen's filial piety towards her mother is obvious to everyone. She definitely dare not talk nonsense..."
"It is better to defend the people than to defend the river." Xie Mingxi interrupted Princess Changping calmly: "Only when I do what I should do can I have a clear conscience. Sister Huang, there is no need to say anything."
Princess Changping: "..."
Princess Changping felt uncomfortable being blocked, and the nameless anger surged in her heart, and she almost blurted out.
Since the day she was born, she has been the most noble princess in Da Qi. She is the only one who has been criticized by others, and she has never been wronged in the slightest.
At this moment, she lowered her head and begged for mercy, but was choked by Xie Mingxi and became speechless. How could Princess Changping endure it?
Princess Changping suddenly stood up, her face flushed with anger, and she stared straight at Xie Mingxi: "You...can't you just give in a little bit?"
"My mother is dying and won't live much longer. Can't you just allow her to be quiet and peaceful during these days?"
"Xie Mingxi! People are doing it, but God is watching. Today you are in power and you are so tight on your mother. Who knows that you won't end up in the same situation in the future?"
In anger, Princess Changping no longer cared whether her words were appropriate or not. What she said was particularly harsh and heartbreaking.
Unfortunately, Xie Mingxi is not a gentle and kind-hearted person, let alone a little white flower who allows others to bully her.
Xie Mingxi twitched the corners of her lips and retorted sharply: "What the imperial sister said is correct."
"People are doing it, and God is watching. The evil things you have done will one day have negative consequences. If you dare to do it, you must dare to bear it! You must suffer no less than half of the punishment you deserve."
