meet again

In a blink of an eye, Empress Dowager Cao's 49-day mourning period ended.

Da Feng came back from the palace, changed into plain clothes, soaked in hot water for half an hour, changed into homely clothes and drank a big bowl of chicken soup.Let out a long sigh of relief.

This funeral has finally come to an end.

The coffin of Empress Dowager Cao will be sent to the imperial mausoleum for burial.With the lessons learned from King Qin and King Han, this time the number of imperial guards accompanying him for the funeral was doubled.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cried so sadly in front of the Mausoleum of Empress Dowager Cao that he fainted once.The accompanying imperial physician hurriedly helped His Highness down to administer the acupuncture, and poured another bowl of ginseng soup.

Half an hour later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince woke up leisurely, and asked the people around him in a low voice: "Yang Jinghe, has the coffin of the imperial grandmother been placed in the mausoleum?"

Eunuch Yang replied respectfully: "It has already been put into the mausoleum."

After a pause, he said in a low voice: "Concubine Cao, wait for His Highness to order, and this old slave will personally send her on the road."

Concubine Cao heard the words, the prince's face suddenly became gloomy, and a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Eunuch Yang asked in a low voice, "Wine or white silk?"

The prince said coldly: "Bai Ling."

The poisoned wine entered the throat, and he died after a few breaths.The death was too straightforward, too cheap for Concubine Cao.Using Bai Ling to "suicide" is much more painful.

Eunuch Yang accepted the order in a low voice, and was about to step back, when the crown prince ordered coldly again: "Bring the King of Han over and send Concubine Cao a ride."

This oral order is really ruthless.

Not only did Concubine Cao die, but the King of Han had to watch his mother "on the road" with his own eyes.

Eunuch Yang received the oral order without changing his expression.

For the sake of reputation, the prince can't lose the notoriety of killing footmen.If the king of Han died of his own injuries, or if he was too excited to witness the death of Concubine Cao and vomited blood to death, it means that the king of Han was in bad luck.

The king of Han conspired to cause chaos before, and he has to bear his own fault for today's end.No wonder His Royal Highness is so cruel!
……

Concubine Cao was locked in a secluded room.

Killing the Empress Dowager Cao was a heinous crime.The prince wished to cut Concubine Cao into pieces.For more than a month, although the crown prince has not directly issued an order, Concubine Cao's life is also very difficult.

I was locked up in the dungeon in the palace before, and I had a bowl of cold water and a steamed bun every day, as long as I didn’t die of hunger and thirst.There is no hot water for Concubine Cao to wash, and no clean clothes to change.

At this time, Concubine Cao was unkempt, with a pungent and unpleasant smell all over her body.His eyes were dull, like a pool of stagnant water.

When Eunuch Yang pushed the door and entered, Concubine Cao raised her head slowly, twitched the corners of her mouth, and showed a stiff expression: "Is it white silk or poisoned wine?"

Eunuch Yang narrowed his eyes, and said with a smirk: "Our family is ordered by His Highness to come here to see the imperial concubine and empress. The white silk has been prepared."

Concubine Cao had long had the will to die, she was not afraid, she even sneered, "What a gentle, courteous, thrifty and filial prince! Not long after the late Emperor died, he was going to kill me as a noble concubine!"

How could she have the face to say that!
Eunuch Yang also sneered: "The imperial concubine killed the empress dowager with her own hands. I don't know what face she has to go to see the emperor when she goes underground!"

Resentment and hatred flashed in Concubine Cao's eyes, and her expression became agitated: "Why do I have no face to see the emperor? I not only want to go, but also tell him that he is his most valued good son, and he gave his noble concubine to death with white silk."

"The queen mother is already old, she should have died a long time ago. Everyone thinks that the queen mother is partial to me and the mother and son of the King of Han, but when the courtiers asked the emperor to be the queen, the queen mother didn't say a word. When the emperor made the crown prince, she refused to support it. The King of Han. The King of Han was punished to guard the imperial tomb, but she still didn’t say a word.”

"Bah! We mother and child are not indifferent to this hypocritical asylum! I just want to send her on the road with my own hands, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

"I only hate that the sky has no eyes. The king of Han failed to kill the prince. Otherwise, the one who will sit on the dragon chair now is the king of Han. How could it be your turn, a rootless dog slave, to show off in front of this palace!"

Concubine Cao's face was flushed with excitement, and her eyes were full of hatred.

Even the cold-hearted Eunuch Yang felt that Concubine Cao was hopeless.Empress Dowager Cao is Concubine Cao's biological aunt. Without Empress Dowager Cao, how could Concubine Cao have been so prosperous and rich for so many years?Concubine Cao still hates Empress Dowager Cao, she is simply greedy and shameless!
A cold light flashed in Yang Gonggong's eyes, he turned his head and ordered: "Go and invite His Highness the King of Han to come here."

Concubine Cao, who shouted angrily, seemed to have been pricked by a slender needle, her pupils constricted violently: "What are you going to do? The King of Han is the brother of the Son of Heaven, you will not succeed if you dare to kill the King of Han!"

Eunuch Yang's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "The imperial concubine and His Royal Highness are deeply in love with each other. His Royal Highness is sympathetic to the empress, and specially asked the King of Han to send the empress the last journey."

Concubine Cao: "..."

Concubine Cao took a breath, and quickly figured out the viciousness of this plan. She was filled with fear, and suddenly shouted: "Don't let the King of Han come over! How dare you do this, you lowly dog ​​slave! Hurry up!" Bring Bai Ling, I will kill myself, you don't need to do anything!"

Eunuch Yang watched Concubine Cao's hysterical screams with cold eyes.

Concubine Cao didn't have the strength to get up, she crawled over with hands and feet, and grabbed Eunuch Yang's trouser legs.

Eunuch Yang took two steps back in disgust.Two palace servants on the side stepped forward and dragged Concubine Cao back to her original place.Concubine Cao struggled violently, yelling and scolding the prince angrily.

Soon, King of Han was 'invited' in.

The king of Han was seriously injured that day, and he was barely able to breathe, and was barely saved by the imperial physician.During the past month or so, the coma accounted for most of the time.

Her whole body was wrapped in layers, and she couldn't move her hands and feet.Even the face was covered with some white gauze, only the eyes, ears, mouth and nose were exposed.It looked like a monster.

The King of Han was lying on a plank and was carried in.Concubine Cao looked at such a son, and let out a mournful cry in her chest. With some strength, she got rid of the two strong palace men and rushed over.

"Son! How did you get hurt like this!" Concubine Cao, who did not change her face when she heard Bai Ling's poisonous wine, was filled with tears and grief.

The King of Han's eyes showed sorrow, he moved his fingers reluctantly, and struggled to squeeze out the word "mother concubine".

Concubine Cao was trembling all over, tears falling like rain.

Eunuch Yang sneered silently, and brought the white silk over in person: "Your Highness the King of Han, the slave was ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to send the imperial concubine on the way. Your Highness knows that His Highness the King of Han is the most filial, so he specially graciously asked His Highness the King of Han to come over and send the empress the last journey. .”

After speaking, with a move of both hands, the white silk was wrapped around Concubine Cao's neck, and the white silk was twisted vigorously.

Concubine Cao's neck was in severe pain, her breathing became weaker and weaker, her eyes turned into whites, she grabbed Bai Ling with both hands and struggled desperately.

The king of Han, lying on the wooden board, witnessed this scene with his own eyes, and his whole body trembled violently.
