The case of empress Zhong has not yet been found out, but during this period, empress Yang was restricted from moving. Once Yang Fucheng's cronies and students were demoted one after another, and the day when Yang Fucheng began to recover was still far away.
Not long ago, Mrs. Yang was the most beautiful first lady. In an instant, she was involved in a human life lawsuit and became the suspect of poisoning the former queen.
When the house leaks, it rains at night. At this time, Empress Dowager Yang falls ill. Yang Fucheng's daughter-in-law was stopped several times when she wanted to enter the palace to visit empress dowager Yang.
These days, Empress Dowager Yang has been dreaming day and night. Her dreams are full of Prince Huaimin who died early. From time to time, Empress Dowager Yang has nightmares. She often yells at the air, sometimes Renzong, sometimes Huaimin. It's more and more serious in the back, even grabbing and scratching at the empty place, like fighting someone.
All the maids in the palace were scared and did not dare to stay alone before the collapse of Empress Dowager Yang. The light fragrance of the inner hall of the CI Ning palace is always floating, and no one cares.
During this time, too many things happened. It was like a cloud in the palace. People even walked quietly, and no one dared to speak loudly. At the end of the month, after a rain, the Dragon Boat Festival came.
In previous years, the Dragon Boat Festival was held in the palace to drive away the five poisons. This year, the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, the empress banned her feet, and no one in the harem made such a fuss. Naturally, the Dragon Boat Festival did not take place. The maids tied a five color silk thread, cut a piece of colorful paper, and then passed by.
After Li Chengjing came back from the outside, he found that there was no light in Ciqing palace. In his heart, he quickly walked to the main hall, and pushed the door open with his palm.
Suddenly, red lanterns light up again and again in the hall. Many maids kneel on the ground with the lanterns in their hands and say in unison: "congratulations to your Highness the prince for a long time."
Li Chengjing was stunned for a moment and remembered that the Dragon Boat Festival was also his birthday. Recently, Li Chengjing has been busy with the affairs of the Yang family. He also has to find out what happened to empress Zhong in those years. How can he be in the mood for his birthday. He has been absent for many years, and there is no precedent in the palace. Few people can connect the Dragon Boat Festival with his birthday.
Cheng Yujin stood in the front, smiling and praying to Li Chengjing, just as they met for the first time: "Your Highness, happy birthday."
Li Chengjing is really helpless. There is no light in the room, which makes him jump. As a result, he just wants to say happy birthday to him. However, no matter how helpless she was, Li Chengjing still laughed and stepped forward to hold Cheng Yujin's hand: "if you don't light the lamp, you'll scare me. Do you remember? "
"How could I not remember." Cheng Yujin stood up. At this time, the palace lamp in the main hall was on again and again. They went inside with each other. "I can't forget your highness on such an important day as his birthday."
No one can refuse a good word, and so can Li Chengjing. His face becomes soft unconsciously. They go into the inner room. Cheng Yujin presses him on the chair, and then comes back with a bowl of longevity noodles.
Li Chengjing saw, surprised: "you are also ready to eat?"
"Yes, I did it myself." Cheng Yujin put the bowl in front of him and said, "I haven't been in the kitchen for a long time. If there's something bad, your highness Haihan. "
Li Chengjing could not help holding Cheng Yujin's hand and looking: "you are still recovering. How can you do it yourself? Is the water in the kitchen cool or warm? Does it hurt you? "
"Your Highness, I don't knead noodles. I've been fine for a long time." Cheng Yujin sat beside him with a smile and said, "after thinking about it, I have nothing to give your highness, so I can only make some food to express my heart. A bowl of longevity noodles has only one root, which is continuous and long. May your highness have today every year and the present every year. "
Li Chengjing's eyes were full of stars. Looking at Cheng Yujin's eyes, she was very gentle: "I know your mind. You are still recovering. You don't have to do these things. Just give them to your servants."
"How can that work?" Cheng Yujin smiles and glances at Li Chengjing, "my birthday is in December, and so are the birthdays of my two children. You are the only one in our family born in summer. Of course, I can't hurt you, or it's like the three of us are pushing you out. "
Li Chengjing couldn't help laughing. His eyes were like stars.
Li Chengjing and Cheng Yujin went into the inner hall to see the bright moon after eating the longevity noodles. Their bodies are getting stronger and stronger, and they can no longer see how thin they were when they were born. Li Chengjing hugged two children and truthfully commented: "Li Mingqian, he is fat again."
"What's fat?" Cheng Yujin takes things out of the cage. Hearing this, she stares at Li Chengjing, "is the child fat? It's healthy and strong."
"Well, you're right." Li Chengjing put two "healthy and strong" dolls on the floor and let them crawl and play by themselves. As soon as he turned around, he saw what Cheng Yujin was holding and asked, "what did you take?"
Cheng Yujin sat on the side of the cave, holding Li Chengjing's hand and tying five colored silk thread on his wrist.
"I remember the first time I knew about Uncle Jiu's birthday was at the Dragon Boat Festival. At that time, I had no preparation at all, so I had to send a five color silk thread for uncle Jiu. I don't believe they say your birthday is evil. " Cheng Yujin tied a thin knot behind her back, raised her head and said with a smile, "well, uncle Jiu will live a long life, folding but not scratching."The light is gentle and gives everything a soft glaze light. Li Chengjing looks at the porcelain like beauty in front of her eyes. She suddenly remembers the year when she met Cheng Yujin. She was surprised to hear that his birthday was on the Dragon Boat Festival. Then she took out her five colored silk cord and tied it to him. She also made a special trip to relieve him. May is just full of poisonous insects. It's not bad luck.
Li Chengjing saw at that time that Cheng Yujin had tied her own five color silk thread for him. So delicate and delicate, what she can carry with her must be the long life rope she made for herself.
But at that time, the topic was abrupt, and Cheng Yujin was unprepared, so she had to take out her own silk thread. Unexpectedly, the five color line became a red line. Cheng Yujin not only gave him the things she prayed for to ward off evil spirits, but also lost herself in the end.
The same scene, but the mood of people in the scene has been completely different. At that time, Cheng Yujin was still a nominal niece to him, but now, she has become his wife, with their two children crawling beside her.
Li Chengjing didn't let Cheng Yujin's hand back. He grabbed the slender hands with his backhand and asked, "what about you and the children?"
"They've already tied it up." Cheng Yujin pointed out to Li Chengjing, sure enough, the two children's wrists have thin silk thread.
Li Chengjing asked, "what about yours? I remember you didn't like to tie it to your hand, so you took it with you? "
Cheng Yujin took a look at him and didn't move. Li Chengjing said with a smile: "do you take it or do I come to find it?"
…… Hooligans. Cheng Yujin had to take it out by herself and said, "it's childish to tie it in my hand. I'm a lot of adults. I've been laughed at."
"How old are you? You are always old-fashioned." Li Chengjing took it over and put it around her wrist. "It's a child, what kind of childishness do you think?"
Hearing this, Cheng Yujin could not help retorting: "Your Highness, you are not much older than me. How can you treat me like a child?"
A word awakens the dreamer, Li Chengjing nodded: "yes. Maybe I've been your uncle for a long time. I always treat you as my junior. "
Cheng Yujin smiles and tries to hit him. Li Chengjing easily holds her hand and admires her slender white wrist in the light. Five color silk thread is hanging on it, delicate and gorgeous: "beauty is like jade, you don't cheat me."
Cheng Yujin wanted to get her hand back, but she failed twice. Li Chengjing's line of sight follows the slender hand and shifts to the face of the person in front of him. Cheng Yujin has been very well reproduced since his birth, and now his waist has recovered as much as before. His chest and buttocks are more abundant than before. Her skin was originally white, but now it has added the softness of motherhood. Under the lamp, it is like fine porcelain, shining and beautiful, which makes people delusional.
Li Chengjing put her finger in a circle on Cheng Yujin's wrist. After Cheng Yujin became pregnant, both of them were cautious. Naturally, they didn't dare to take any risks. They never had sex again. After Li Chengjing went to Jiangnan for disaster relief, Cheng Yujin gave birth soon after she came back. After giving birth, Cheng Yujin recuperated for several months. Li Chengjing was afraid of hurting Cheng Yujin's foundation and refused to let her take risks. Until three months after she gave birth, they tried carefully.
During this period of time, the affairs between the court and the people's Republic of China continued one after another, and the two of them hadn't had sex for a long time.
Tonight, Li Chengjing has some ideas. He sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Yujin, beautiful jade. If the real person is just like his name, beautiful jade is flawless. If the days to come are like today, and the years to come are like today, I will be satisfied. "
Cheng Yujin was a little embarrassed, but in such a look, she couldn't help laughing: "you just want to do what you want to find such a brilliant reason for yourself."
Li Chengjing also laughs and pulls her to sit over: "it may be that the crown prince has been a long time and can't change it."
Li Chengjing is about to ask someone to take Li Mingqian and Li Mingyue out. Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps comes from outside. Then Liu Yi's voice rings at the door: "Your Highness, urgent report."
Cheng Yujin and Li Chengjing looked at each other and couldn't help laughing: "what's the matter?"
"Empress dowager, Hong."
The death of Empress Dowager Hong is not a small matter. Cheng Yujin quickly changed her clothes and came to the CI Ning palace.
At the moment, the palace was crying, and the eunuchs were in a panic. When they saw her, they all knelt down: "see you, princess."
Cheng Yujin answered and walked into the palace calmly. After entering the hall, she took the lead to see empress dowager Yang, who had just died. She lay motionless on her usual sickbed, surrounded by people kneeling on the ground, weeping. Cheng Yujin stops in front of the collapse, sniffs it carefully, and finds that the spices have been changed.
Cheng Yujin released her heart and went forward to explore the pulse of the Empress Dowager very sorrowfully. Then she knelt down in tears.
At this time, the changes in the palace are reflected. On the contrary, empress Yang gets the news later than Cheng Yujin, the crown princess. Empress Yang stumbles over and sees empress Yang's body, which makes her all bewildered. She went to the Empress Dowager's nose, and then she didn't want to believe it. She went to the Empress Dowager's pupil again. It was only when the doctor reminded the Empress Dowager in a low voice that she had passed away that empress Yang fell to the ground like a lightning strike and cried out.
Empress Yang cried bitterly. She was heartbroken. As soon as she heard it, she knew that it was true sorrow and there was no adulteration. After a while, the emperor, accompanied by Li Chengjing, came and saw the corpse of Empress Dowager Yang. The emperor sighed: "the son wants to be raised, but the mother doesn't wait. The Empress Dowager is going now. Tell the Ministry of rites to prepare for the affairs after the Empress Dowager. "The funeral ceremony of Empress Dowager Yang was full of grief and honor. All the women in and out of the palace went to the palace to cry. Empress Yang was especially sad and cried to death. On the day of the Empress Dowager's funeral, empress Yang was so sad that she fainted in the mourning hall.
Is not dizzy, Yang empress dowager's death, the emperor no longer scruple. Just after the seventh anniversary of the empress dowager, the case of empress Zhong was settled. Yang Fucheng's wife should be beheaded because she murdered the former empress. She thought that she had given birth to empress Yang. The emperor was generous and gave her whole body and died with Yang's poisoned wine.
However, Yang Shoufu failed to manage his wife and teach his grandson. He lost his personal virtue. He withdrew his position as the first assistant and spared his life for many years, but confiscated all his family property. His son, Yang Shilong, also cut officials for the people and will never be reused.
Dou Xiyin was also implicated, deprived of the title of princess, demoted to civilian. Seeing that the situation is not right, the Dou family quickly abandons Yang Yan and throws her back to the Yang family.
Empress Dowager Yang has been buried, but empress Yang is still languid, as if completely lost life. Empress Yang really has nothing to look forward to now. The Yang family collapsed overnight. Her father and brother were demoted as civilians, and all their property was confiscated. They didn't even have money on the road. But her mother died, her aunt died, her sister was abandoned, her niece was not well-known, and even her concubine was not as good as living in Shouwang mansion.
The trees fall and the monkeys scatter. The people who used to flatter the Yang family can't avoid them one by one. After the crisis, Queen Yang also faces her own problems.
The second prince knelt down in front of the Qianqing palace and asked the emperor to spare empress Yang's life for the royal family's sake. The emperor was so angry that he asked the second prince to go back and think behind closed doors. The second prince admitted his mistake but did not move.
He was still kneeling in front of the Qianqing palace, not eating or drinking, not even the cushion that the eunuch secretly stuffed, just kneeling firmly. After all, the son is different from the woman. Before, when Yang Huang pleaded for mercy later, the Emperor didn't look at it. Now he is the second prince. After kneeling for a while, the emperor can't bear it.
When the sun was in the middle of the day, the emperor came out of the palace, sighed, and asked the eunuch to support the second prince with an umbrella.
The second prince followed the emperor into the palace. He knelt down in the imperial study for a long time and begged for Empress Yang. In the end, the Emperor didn't make a statement, but just waved to send the second prince back to the palace.
When Li Chengjun came out of Qianqing palace, he happened to meet Li Chengjing. As they passed each other up and down the steps, Li Chengjun stopped and said to Li Chengjing, "elder brother, your revenge has been avenged. The Yang family has been reduced to this place, and my mother has been washing her face with tears all day. Do you want to be so aggressive? If you have to forgive others, do you have to force your mother to death? "
Li Chengjing stopped, turned over and looked down at him two steps away: "am I aggressive? I'll drive people to death? "
Li Chengjing seems to hear something funny, gently picked the lower lip: "but, my mother, they have been forced to death. You've been held in the palm of your hand since you were a child, and you've enjoyed all kinds of benefits. You've talked to me sparingly and sparingly? "
Li Chengjun was speechless. He stepped back and bowed to Li Chengjing. His hand almost touched the steps: "Your Highness, brother, it's my mother and grandfather. I'm sorry for you. I beg for your pardon on behalf of my elders. If you have any anger or hatred, just come to me. Please let mother go
Li Chengjing didn't pay attention to it. He turned around without joy or anger and continued to walk towards the Qianqing palace, which is located on the white jade platform. There was no emotion in his eyes.
"Injustice has its head and debt has its owner. What qualifications do you have to suffer for your surrogate mother? You take the place of your biological mother, and who will suffer for my mother? "
Li Chengjun looked up in surprise and saw Li Chengjing slowly and gracefully ascend the steps. He walked step by step towards the Qianqing palace, the symbol of the highest power in the world. It seemed that he would not stay for anyone. Li Chengjun couldn't help it any more. He took two steps up and asked, "so, you still won't stop?"
Li Chengjing has stepped on the last step, standing on the high platform, without looking back, said faintly: "alone or that sentence, right and wrong, human cause and effect, all by the law."
