Trapped in the cold palace, the sky is sharp.
The Empress Dowager was sitting alone in the bleak palace. She thought that when she was framed as a concubine in the palace, she also came several times. But now, unlike in the past, she looked at the twenty bodyguards in the palace coldly.
She never thought she would fall into her son's hands.
"The mourner's family did everything for the emperor, even though he was not a parent-child, but also raised him to ascend the throne to be the king..."
The Empress Dowager's voice was bleak and cold. She only thought that the emperor left her last breath before Yuzhi was found.
Just as she was dreaming, the door of the cold palace was opened.
What you see is the broad Phoenix robe. The Golden Phoenix hovers around the cuff and falls on the heart. It is the appearance of the Golden Phoenix coming down to the world. But the elegant and beautiful Dongfang people are now dressed in a gorgeous Phoenix robe without any powder. It's quite out of place.
Now the two women, who were supposed to be the most powerful women, are laughing when they meet.
The Empress Dowager's eyes narrowed slightly and smiled a few times: "the mourners seldom participate in the dispute in the harem, but now they don't expect to be laughed at by a little girl."
The empress Dongfang went to the front in a dignified and virtuous manner. Her face was pale without any blood color. The Phoenix robe, which had just been made, is now a little loose.
"Queen mother, I'm afraid it's the last time to see you today." Dongfang's voice is soft.
The Empress Dowager looked at her, but she also remembered that the implicit beauty climbed up step by step by virtue of her ability to manage the harem. Outsiders always watched how she was favored when she was a princess Hui, but only the old people in the Imperial Palace knew that her children were not parents and children, but were just children of the emperor.
But day by day she cherished it and held it in her hand.
Now she has become a queen, but the emperor only takes a fancy to the powerful Dongfang family behind her.
"If you were not born into a family, that would not be the case." The Queen Mother beckoned to her with a wry smile.
Dongfang took his seat quietly, and inadvertently put a simple knot in her hand. He said with a smile, "this is fate."
After saying that, she just gave the Empress Dowager three knocks and left calmly.
In the dead of the night, a few murmurs came from the cold palace, and the last car carrying swill left the palace.
The lights in the Queen's bedroom are still on, and she just lies lazily on the Queen's chair, which is different from asking the emperor who is staying in the palace tonight, saying: "everything is ready But empress, if the emperor knows... "
"My life is no longer important." Dongfang's head held on, but he fell asleep.
……
Duan Chengxuan was refused to go out of the palace, but he couldn't sleep the next night.
And Dongfang xuan'er, who had not seen her for a long time, stood behind him, bleeding from her fists: "aunt she..."
"She's not going to live any longer." Duan Chengxuan's voice is low.
At that time, he was in collusion with the former empress. Now, he would not let go of the new queen. He thought that the bribed Duke Huang had already shown his horse's feet and was no longer believed by his brother, but he could also make a connection with the empress.
Brother Huang, what are you doing?
The huge Forbidden City has now become a place to come and go freely. He doesn't care about the situation of other palaces or the betrayal of his relatives. Even the sleepers put the most dangerous one.
"How can his highness Jing understand the word" affectionate " Dongfang xuan'er suddenly came forward, and her voice continued to count: "even if my aunt had been back to her mother's house for a few days, she would have been thinking about the emperor every day! He also regards the children he gave birth to as parents and children, but now you let his aunt go... "
"What if you pay by mistake?" Duan Chengxuan looks back with frown.
Now in his opinion, the little bit of imitation with Su Yuwan was a bad injury!
How affectionate and attentive I thought I was, and how hurt I was afterwards.
He looked at Dongfang xuan'er and saw that the girl would be the age of Gu Mingyan's fake death. He could not help but soften his voice: "if you don't know the deep feeling, go to ask your aunt for advice."
Dongfang xun'er is now more and more disgusted with the dignified Jingwang palace.
At that time, I only thought about how he killed decisively and had a good command of culture and military skills, but I didn't think that he also knew how to deal with the world, and he was more aware of the advantages and disadvantages of weighing up, so it seemed that he was merciless and unjust to give up those things that others didn't give up easily.
"I'm really blind, even if I give up my love." Dongfang xuan'er sat down angrily with her eyes red. She could not forget that King Jing had beaten them down a few days ago.
Duan Chengxuan did not argue with her, only waiting for the news in the rainy night.
People all say that deep love is to give up for the lover, but Gu Mingyan always looks at his eyes and says with him word by word.
I love you, not you who love me.
The friendship between them is mostly balance or mutual support. Gu Mingyan is pregnant and does not want to take this as a burden. He cares about it and does not want to make a gold cage for her.
The rain curtain was suddenly broken, and the Empress Dowager was tightly wrapped in a black robe and sent to the mansion.
Dongfang xuan'er grits her teeth and dare not come forward, but Duan Chengxuan's cold face slowly helps her mother up. Before the Empress Dowager can stand still, she directly raises her hand and slaps Duan Chengxuan. The room is quiet and she can't get out.
Duan Chengxuan's head was beaten to one side, but he turned back indifferently to face his mother.
The Empress Dowager's former glory is no longer there. Now she has to be so careful to leave the palace. Her blood stained gray and white robe has been stained dirty by mud and water. Her eyes are more than one circle red, and her arms are shaking.
"It's also deserved that the queen mother came to such an end today." Duan Chengxuan looked at her coldly. He raised his hand and handed the Empress Dowager directly to Chengshan. He said in a low voice, "take good care of her."
"Chengxuan! You are the only parent and son of the mourner! " The Empress Dowager looked at his only parent and son unbelievably.
"No, I am not only your son, but also your brother's brother." Duan Chengxuan shook his head, raised his hands and put the two cold hands of the Empress Dowager in the palm of his hand to suppress the anger in his heart. Just thinking about the words and sentences of Gu Mingyan in those years, he told her one by one: "the peace of the Empress Dowager means that you and the empress have a good governance, and canglan is powerful, which is also the contribution of the emperor's brother. Our mother and son have never been worthy of the name of the Royal Duan family."
Speaking of this, Duan Chengxuan silently pressed the lesson in his throat, and his voice sank again.
"Even so, the innocent people you killed with your brother should be compensated by themselves."
When the last word falls, Duan Chengxuan's face is already black and drips out of the water. But the normally arrogant King Jing just straightens his back slowly and watches Chengshan take the Empress Dowager away from here and watch the rain outside the window.
But Gu Mingyan, who was writing fast in the palace, suddenly stopped.
The red rope in the cuff slipped out with her. She pinched it and looked out of the window with sour eyebrows. She suddenly smiled.
Are you thinking about me?
Duan Chengxuan stood in front of the window for a long time.
