C277

Gradually strong sandalwood strands into the nose, I do not know why, the calm and quiet sandalwood, but make Dongmei impetuous.

"Winter plum." These two familiar words made Dongmei tremble. She couldn't help but say, "I'm here."

"A while ago, I heard from Princess Chen that your brother had been married for many years and had nothing to do with it. This year, he just gave birth to a pair of twins. How about the date? It's almost full moon now, isn't it?"

Dongmei put aside her confused thoughts and carefully said, "if you go back to the empress dowager, it was just a full moon yesterday."

Empress Dowager Wei said with a smile, "it's not uncommon to have children, but very few of them can give birth to twins. Most of these families are descendants who have accumulated great virtue in their ancestors."

Dongmei couldn't figure out why empress dowager Wei suddenly said these things. She lowered her head and didn't speak. The hall was very quiet, and even the sound of tears dripping on the copper Candlestick could be heard clearly.

"After several generations, today's good news has just come. Although you have entered the palace, you are still the descendants of the Zhao family. If the Zhao family has lost their children and grandchildren because of you, how can you face to see the ancestors of the Zhao family in the future?"

Dongmei's face turns blue. For this reason, she doesn't understand. Empress dowager Wei obviously takes the life of the Zhao family and coerces her into confessing about the Chen family.

"The AI family knows that you are loyal to Princess Chen. In order to serve her, you have never been married, but you have to consider yourself and the Zhao family. As long as you tell the truth, the AI family will not only forgive you for your innocence, but also protect you and the Zhao family for at least three generations."

Zhou Ning said, "the Empress Dowager thought that you were forced by Chen's family. Just now she was merciful and gave you this grace. You should not bear the hardship of the Empress Dowager."

Dongmei is biting her lower lip tightly. On the one hand, she has been following her for more than 20 years. She treats her as the master of her younger sister. On the other hand, she is a relative connected with her own blood. The palm of her hand is flesh, and the back of her hand is flesh. What should she do?

Yin Qiu sighed: "I know that Princess Chen treats you well, but how can you repay her for so many years? Do you really want to see the Zhao family die out?"

Dongmei bowed her head and didn't speak. Because she was too hard, her lower lip was bitten and bleeding. It slowly dropped on the green clothes and turned into a dark red mark.

Empress Dowager Wei didn't urge her to drink tea. The white jade beads in the mouth of the Phoenix flowed in the candlelight.

Human nature is selfish. She believes Dongmei will make a right choice.

As the tears continued to fall, the candles that had been burning for most of the night became shorter and shorter. When the length of thumb was left, some palace people took new hard candles and replaced them one by one.

When the candle in the hall was renewed, Empress Dowager Wei's voice rang out slowly, "how about it? Have you thought about it?"

Listening to this, Dongmei bent down and kowtowed, "the maid's family has nothing to do with this matter. I beg the Empress Dowager for mercy and don't involve them."

"It's never a matter of mourning, it's a matter of..." Empress Dowager Wei folded a newly picked violet at night and put it on her temples. "You!"

Dongmei raised her trembling hand and stroked the violet beside her temples. She said in an astringent voice, "if the slave can be the master, why kneel here?" After a short pause, she seemed to make up her mind. Facing empress dowager Wei's eyes, she said slowly, "it's good for the three generations to be rich and noble, but please forgive me for wronging the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Wei's smile froze on her lips. As soon as Zhou Ning's face changed, she walked over and slapped Dongmei hard. She said: "what a shameless girl. Do you really think the Empress Dowager dare not kill you?"

Dongmei looked at the violet who had been thrown to the ground and said with a pathetic smile, "the Empress Dowager has the power of life and death. It's only a matter of one sentence to kill the maidservant. There is no word" dare not ". But just as the maidservant said just now, even if it's death, the maidservant will never wronged the princess."

When Zhou Ning wanted to speak again, she was stopped by Empress Dowager Wei. The latter stared at her and said slowly, "it's the AI family that underestimates your loyalty to Chen. Since you want to be a loyal slave to protect the Lord, the AI family will help you." After a pause, he said: "Yin Qiu, go to Jingzhao house to preach the edict of mourning family. Dongmei Association conspires with Chen family to commit crimes against the three clans, and then takes all the people in the three clans of Zhao family to the execution ground, and immediately beheads them. No matter how old or young they are, no one is allowed to let them go"

the cold words of Empress Dowager Wei made Dongmei shiver all over her body and kowtow on the ground I'm willing to accept any punishment for my fault. I just want the Empress Dowager to hold her hand high. They They don't know anything. "

Empress Dowager Wei has become the first person in the harem today. She has a heart of stone. Don't say she just kowtows. Even if Dongmei dies in ningshou palace now, it won't change anything.

Yin Qiu has been following empress dowager Wei for many years. She knows her mind best, so her steps have not stopped. What she didn't expect is that just as she was about to leave the palace gate, Empress Dowager Wei suddenly called her.

Yin Qiu stopped in surprise. "What's the Queen's order?"

Empress Dowager Wei's cold eyes, like autumn frost, spread over Dongmei without any pity. "Take her to the execution ground and kill one person every other hour until she tells the truth!"

Dongmei suddenly raised her head, and her eyes looked frightened. The next moment, she shook her head desperately, "no You can't do that! "Empress Dowager Wei slowly fiddled with the beads wrapped around her wrist and said with a smile, "why not?"

Dongmei looked at her eyes as if she were looking at a devil climbing out of hell. "That's a living life. They didn't do anything wrong. How can you say kill them?"

"They are not wrong, but you are wrong, so it's not the mourning family that really killed them, but you!"

Dongmei said excitedly: "the first Emperor didn't pass the Shenji camp to his seventh highness, let alone leave something for the imperial concubine. Why didn't the Empress Dowager believe it?"

Empress Dowager Wei raised her sleeves and said coldly, "you can keep this with the Zhao people who were killed by you."

"No!" Dongmei rushed over and held empress dowager Wei's train. She cried bitterly, "empress dowager, please show mercy and let them live."

Empress Dowager Wei leaned over her and pulled her up. Her voice was low and enticing. "As long as you tell the mourning family where the things left by the former Emperor to the Chen family are, they can all live and enjoy endless wealth and glory from then on."

Dongmei raises her tearful face and stares at empress dowager Wei. Just when she thinks she is being talked about by herself, she suddenly grabs the Buddhist beads between empress dowager Wei's wrists and pulls them hard. Countless Buddhist beads polished from agarwood lose their bondage and fall to the ground.

No one thought that Dongmei would suddenly do this. For a moment, she was stunned. She wiped away the overlapping tears on her face and said in a cold voice, "if you kill innocent people so indiscriminately, no matter how many Buddhas you worship or how many sutras you recite, you will go to hell in the same way!"
