Chapter 974 I'm Confused
After the imperial physician finished the consultation, he reported the situation to Xie Yuan and the others:

"The most serious injury was the hand. The back of the hand was burnt and blistered, and the medicine was applied. Although the face was a little red, fortunately, it was not serious. The skin might fade after a few days, but the new skin came back. It’s fine. And the hair on the forehead is burnt and curly and yellow, which hurts the appearance.”

Tomorrow is the crown prince's enthronement ceremony, and the queen regent will naturally attend it.

At that time, all civil and military officials, the emperor's relatives and relatives will be present to watch the ceremony. The reason why the imperial physician mentioned this is because on such an important occasion, the empress's appearance is indeed very important.

But more importantly, if someone hadn't stopped her, she might have jumped into the fire and burned to death today...

When Xie Yuan and the others heard that the queen was injured so badly, they couldn't help but be terrified.

"I was confused for a moment and made such a big commotion." Empress Feng Boyang said lightly, with some guilt in her tone.

She was sitting on the bed, and there was a screen in front of the bed. The embroidered landscape on it was misty, reflecting the shadows of Xie Yuan and the others on the opposite side.

Several people obviously looked at each other, very worried.

Xie Yuan hesitated for a moment, walked around from behind the screen, and walked in front of the queen.

Seeing that her hair was loose, her hands were wrapped in a white cloth, and she was looking at the void with a cold face expressionless, but her eyes were sad, so she called out cautiously:
"Queen..."

Feng Boyang turned his slender eyes like smoke, looked at Xie Yuan and said softly:

"I'm fine... I won't delay tomorrow's enthronement ceremony, you guys go back."

Xie Yuan was still very worried, but he didn't know what to say, so he just stood there without moving.

The air was quiet again, and there was an atmosphere of worry everywhere.

Outside the screen, Shen Liuzhen coughed twice in pain, and said respectfully:

"Queen, the prince is young, and the court needs the queen to preside over the overall situation. If something happens to you and people's hearts are unstable, things will be really difficult at that time."

He paused, and said sincerely:
"...If you are really sad, just cry out loud, it will make you feel better."

Shi Yuhengjia sighed deeply, walked around the screen anxiously for two steps, and said:
"To be honest, I always thought you didn't have that deep affection for His Majesty, but I was really shocked when I heard the news today.

I don't know what to say... His Majesty said in his letter to me that he hoped that the Empress would grow old in prosperity and prosperity. If you really have deep feelings, don't let him worry about you. "

After he finished speaking, he stood still, bowed towards the screen and bowed his fists, saying:
"Take care, queen, and I will leave." Then she turned around and left.

Seeing this, Shen Liuzhen also raised his wide sleeves, saluted and retreated. After straightening up, he said:
"A Yuan, you can talk to the queen for a while."

After all, he turned around and left.

Xie Yuan stood in front of the queen's bed, next to the maid serving the queen, standing there silently wiping away tears.

The queen still seemed to have lost her soul, she just sat there expressionless, staring blankly at the void.

She hesitated for a moment, sat down at the table by herself, and said softly after a moment of silence:

"Empress, say whatever you want... what are you thinking?"

Empress Feng Boyang raised the corners of her lips and smiled. The smile was very gentle, but somehow it made people feel desolate. She comforted Xie Yuan and said:

"I know, you are afraid that I will commit suicide, and you are determined to follow your Majesty... Don't worry, I won't. I am greedy for glory and wealth, and I cherish my life so much. How can I be willing to die?"

Xie Yuan looked at her injured hand and the scorched hair, which was disheveled, coupled with her insincere words, it was really heartbreaking, tears welled up all of a sudden, and asked in a cold voice:

"In that case, why did it happen before!"

The queen's body froze for a moment, then she gently tilted her head, and pretended to be nonchalant and said:

"Before... I was dazzled before. For some reason, I saw His Majesty in the fire... I wanted to save him, but I was confused."

The tears that Xie Yuan held back fell down with a "wow".

Since the death of Emperor Ulei, no matter she was asleep or awake, she had fantasized many times that she prevented the emperor from getting close to the Empress Dowager Bao and prevented the assassination.

Even though she was used to seeing life and death, Ulay's death made her extremely regretful and became heartbroken.

She is also pretending not to care, it doesn't matter.But at this time, after listening to the queen's words, the regret almost killed her.

Xie Yuan lowered his head, clenched his hands on the table, then walked to the queen's bed, knelt down, and cried:

"sorry Sorry……"

Empress Feng Boyang turned his eyes, looked at the top of Xie Yuan's head, was silent for a while with a complex expression, and said with tears:
"Actually, I hate you all in my heart. But it's not what you think. Aren't you all regretting, full of regrets... I actually hate myself more than I hate you now."

She said, looking at the void again, her plain tone contained great pain:
"I regret myself, why didn't I cherish the time when he was alive, get closer to him, talk more... so why waste your life?
Now that I am left alone, what is the point of having such a long life..."

Xie Yuan was even more sad. She stretched out her hand to hold the queen's uninjured hand, grabbed her hard, as if to give her strength, thought for a while and said:

"Queen, think about it this way...you are alive, His Majesty is still alive in your heart, you can still think of him, and recall the time you have experienced. If you die, you will forget him, and then you will have nothing to worry about. Gone."

When the queen heard this, she turned her eyes, looked into Xie Yuan's sincere eyes, and did not speak for a long time.

After a while, tears welled up from her eyes silently, her sobbing became louder, and she said:
"Yeah...you're right, you're right..."

……

……

After Xie Yuan left, the queen cried until her eyes were swollen. She put on her clothes and walked to the side hall where the state affairs were usually handled.

It was the place where Ulay usually stayed, and there were various books and materials piled up in it, as well as official memorials.

In the past, whenever Ulay went out, she would stay outside this side hall, and moved a table to act as an agent, being cautious and courteous, and did not give others any excuses.

This time before he went out, he specifically asked someone to move the table inside, and put it next to the table where he usually handles memorials, saying:

"It's not at the beginning. Now that our queen has prestige, we don't have to be so cautious anymore. What's more, I feel sorry for your grievance."

The queen looked at the two desks placed side by side in the hall, and thought of his appearance when he said this, she suddenly laughed.

However, the tears in the eyes also fell down.

She walked to the back of her desk and sat down, placed an exquisite letter box next to it in the middle, and slowly opened it...
