Noble First Daughter-in-law

After a while, morning began.

The civil and military officials slowly climbed up the Tai Chi Hall along the trail, and then filed in. The difference was that when they entered the main hall, they all looked sideways at the side hall.

Although no one said it clearly, everyone knew that the prime minister who presided over the government was currently in the side hall with the doors and windows closed.

wait.

And standing at the door, besides Eunuch Yu, the eunuch accompanying the Empress Dowager, there was also Mrs. Yu Wenshao who had made a generous speech in the Tai Chi Hall before, and even directly forced Princess Xinyue to make a promise to abdicate!

Seeing her, these officials couldn't help but feel their scalps go numb.

However, everyone didn't say anything, just walked into the main hall one by one, and then divided into two sides according to their respective trains, and stood on top of the main hall. arrive!"

Immediately, all the officials kowtowed to the ground, shouting long live——

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

That voice came from the open door, wrapped in a gust of strong wind, suddenly hit Shang Ruyi's face, and even blew behind her, the closed door of the side hall began to rattle.

She couldn't help but her heartbeat also sank.

In fact, not only the officials in the main hall, but also not only her, even standing beside her, at this moment, that fat white face with always a smile on it showed a rare dignified expression.

Eunuch Yu also seemed to understand that this was probably the last tribute to the Chu Dynasty from the officials.

He let out a long sigh.

Shang Ruyi thought for a while, then looked back at the gate that had gradually calmed down, and then said softly: "Eunuch Yu, the Queen Mother—"

Before he finished speaking, he stopped himself, thought for a while, and changed his words: "His Royal Highness——"

Still didn't finish, and stopped again.

Only then did she realize that she actually had nothing to ask at all. She had chosen the road from the beginning, even if she did not know the specific future, but the scenery on this road was such that she could see rocks when going up the mountain and encounter waves when going down to the sea. So what could she do? Don't you know?

Why ask again?
Thinking of this, she smiled awkwardly at Eunuch Yu who was looking at her, and closed her lips.

On the contrary, Eunuch Yu looked at her quietly for a while, and after thinking for a longer time, he raised his head and said to her: "For more than half a month, our family has been staying at Dayan Temple, following the Queen Mother. , I only found out after returning to the palace that the inner palace is closed."

"..."

"And the eldest princess is in the palace, counting the days, waiting for the second son."

"..."

"All the time, until yesterday."

"..."

"Yesterday, if the Queen Mother hadn't come back, I would definitely have seen the Eldest Princess—I'm afraid I'd lose this daughter now."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi was startled, until this time, she vaguely recalled that in the Tai Chi Hall, when Yu Wenyuan ordered to close Daxing City and the inner palace, so that people would bring the little emperor and the eldest princess back to the palace to avoid disaster. Ruo Yan seemed to have asked Yu Wenye if he would come to see her.

If there is no mistake, she remembered that at that time, Chu Ruoyan said to Yu Wenye - it doesn't matter if you don't come.

If you don't come, I won't wait...

Shang Ruyi gasped suddenly.

turn out to be--

Her words are true.

Maybe, Yu Wenye felt something too, that's why he decided to go to Dayan Temple yesterday to meet the Queen Mother and accompany her back to the palace. If they went back to the palace together yesterday, maybe some things would not have happened.

But yesterday, Yu Wenye brought himself—

Shang Ruyi suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, as if an invisible hand was pinching her heart, making her heartbeat heavy, and what was even heavier was a thin voice coming from the Tai Chi Hall at this moment, although before , She has heard that voice countless times, it is childish, yet willful and domineering, although it confronts her every time, it doesn't make her feel annoying.

So being cautious at this time made her feel a little uncomfortable.

It was Chu Chengfei.

At this moment, the little emperor had slowly walked up the hall and sat on the dragon chair.

Every time in the past, he would be forced to go to court before dawn. Faced with these words, he would listen to different words. He even got red-faced every time he argued, which made him unable to go back to the palace immediately to play with his birds, cats and dogs. What's more, Not being able to enjoy the delicious food made him very impatient, but today, for the first time, he felt panicked.

Because these days, he has vaguely understood that he, the emperor, cannot sit still.

However, if he is not an emperor, what can he do?
What would these people do to him?
Thinking of this, tears welled up in those big eyes that were still childish and full of fear of the unknown, and he looked tearfully at the civil and military officials below, who had bowed to him countless times. Kowtow, proclaiming long live, and expressing their loyalty to him and the dynasty, all the ministers looked at him with strange eyes, as if they were looking at a kitten or dog hanging on a cliff.

No one will save him...

Chu Chengfei listened to the sound of "Long live" that seemed to be still echoing in the empty hall, but his whole body was trembling badly, and suddenly said to the servant beside him: "I, I want to go back..."

"His Majesty."

"My sister hasn't woken up yet, she was strangled so painfully, I want to go back to accompany her."

"...Your Majesty, the eldest princess is fine, but in the morning—"

"I don't, I don't want to stay here, I want to go back..."

As Chu Chengfei said, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and immediately got up and ran to the harem, but the servant put his hand on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you can't go."

"..."

"Morning morning—but there is something important to do, let's do it."

Hearing this, Chu Chengfei almost shed tears, but he seemed to understand that even his personal servants were like this, and his closest eldest sister was not around, let alone be his reliance, he really wanted to Like a kitten that fell on a cliff, there was nothing to do but whimper in despair.

At this moment, he could only look at the ministers of His Majesty, those who were either cold, strange, sympathetic, or even - joking.

He trembled: "You guys, what are you going to do?"

"..."

At this time, there was no sound in the hall.

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you.

Although everyone knew that at this time, it was almost a matter of just saying a word, and the big thing would be accomplished, but at this time, facing this young emperor who was weeping and huddled on the dragon chair, they couldn't say anything.

This - not just bullying the young emperor.

It was the last and heaviest blow to the Chu Dynasty.

The previous matter may be just a little gossip that people chew on after dinner. When the new era comes, who will look back at the past and care about such things?
But the latter one is different.

Then, it will be recorded in the history books and passed on for thousands of years!

Whether it will be notoriety or good news, who knows?
Even if he was as decisive as Ji Hong, he directly forced the eldest princess to make a promise to "abdicate" at the last court meeting, but at this time, he seemed to have hesitated a bit, looked up at the dragon chair again, and burst into tears. The young emperor's face was full of tears, and those chaotic, old eyes also shed tears.

Seeing him like this, the surrounding officials were also a little at a loss.

Who is going to say this?
Who dares to say! ?

This kind of trance and hesitation quickly spread throughout the hall like a plague, making it difficult for everyone to walk, and as a result, the whole situation froze.

No one spoke, and Chu Chengfei sat on the dragon chair, so he didn't have to get down.

What's more, I can't get down.

Seeing them like this, Chu Chengfei choked up and said, "You guys, what are you going to do?"

"..."

"You guys, don't you know what to do?"

"..."

"If you don't do anything, then, then I—"

At this moment, his thin voice also spread outside the main hall, at the entrance of the side hall, cold sweat broke out from Shang Ruyi's whole body.

Although she knew that it was impossible for the Yuwen family to retreat at this point, and the Chu dynasty had already reached a strange road, but things would often get stuck on such a small joint. If no one really spoke up, the situation would be How to solve it?
She panicked for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to move forward.

But at this moment, the closed door behind him suddenly let out a long and hoarse roar, and then slowly opened!
"...!"

Shang Ruyi's steps froze and immediately stopped where he was.

When she turned around, she saw a familiar, thin but dignified figure, wearing a grand gown, standing at the door of the side hall, more graceful and luxurious than any time she had seen her before.

It's Empress Dowager Jiang!

Seeing her, Shang Ruyi's breath was suddenly suffocated, she even forgot to blink, and just opened her eyes wide, looking at that beautiful but pale face, as if for a moment, it was almost completely blank, and Shang Ruyi even felt that her whole body The human soul seems to be gone.

But the next moment, her gentle eyes looked at her.

When looking at her, there was a faint smile, as if relieved.

And it wasn't until this time that Shang Ruyi seemed to have finally come to her senses, and hurriedly knelt down to worship, but saw the Queen Mother gently raised her hand towards her.

It's to show her that she doesn't need to be polite.

Shang Ruyi stood where she was, not knowing what to do for a while, but the Empress Dowager Jiang had already stepped out. As soon as she walked out of the side hall, the door closed behind her again.

Yu Wenyuan, still inside, did not move.

And Empress Dowager Jiang didn't look back, she just raised her head, took a deep breath, and walked forward slowly. Shang Ruyi and Eunuch Yu looked at each other and followed subconsciously.

It was only a few steps away from the Tai Chi Hall, and Shang Ruyi couldn't even feel the passage of time, only felt that they were already standing in the center of the hall in a blink of an eye.

All eyes were focused on the Queen Mother.

There was only a pair of stern eyes. After taking a deep look at the Empress Dowager Jiang, she looked at her again, and then looked away immediately.

But at this time, Shang Ruyi had no time to pay attention, and he didn't even have time to look at each other. He heard a cry from the hall. The moment Chu Chengfei saw the Queen Mother appear, everyone felt aggrieved and frightened just now. He burst out and stretched out his hands towards Empress Dowager Jiang——

"Mother!"

He began to cry.

At this moment, even though he was standing behind the queen mother, looking at her slightly twitching, thin shoulders, Shang Ruyi seemed to be able to feel that the queen mother must have shown a loving, more compassionate look towards her young son, if possible, She will definitely do everything to protect him—just like when Chu Yang wanted to abandon Luoyang and go south to Jiangdu on the road of no return. Still in order to protect a couple of children, she temporarily abandoned him and left Chu Chengfei and Chu Ruoyan in Luoyang.

Also left this thread.

But now, the last bloodline of the Chu Dynasty seems to have come to the end of this great cause.

Her thin shoulders trembled, but as she walked towards the front of the hall step by step, she got closer to the place where she had looked up to countless times, the place where the immortal-like man ruled the world and scolded Fang Qiu, On the contrary, her breathing gradually calmed down, and the trembling that almost shattered her soul also gradually calmed down.

Until, she came under the sky.

Shang Ruyi also stopped behind her, looking at her thin back, standing still, but at this moment, there was an almost tragic atmosphere.

The civil and military officials in the entire hall were also intimidated by her aura, and even forgot to kowtow and salute.

Chu Chengfei cried even harder.

He stretched his hands towards his queen mother, and kept kicking his feet under the dragon chair, but for some reason, he seemed to be left behind by an inexplicable obsession, even though he was looking forward to her side so much. On the dragon chair, no matter what, he didn't leave half a point.

It seems that it is the last struggle of this dynasty.

At this moment, a hoarse sound like the friction of rough rocks sounded. It was more like a sound of breath, extraordinarily low and extraordinarily light, as if a casual breath would blow away the sound.

However, this voice, like a thunderstorm from the zenith, was deafening and resounded throughout the Taiji Hall.

Also ringing in everyone's ears——

"Destiny has its time, and fortune turns around."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi gasped.

This voice belongs to the Queen Mother!
Before, she committed suicide because she wanted to follow Chu Yang, leaving the hideous wound on her neck, and even lost her gentle voice that seemed to soothe all the pain in the world. Unexpectedly, at this time, she was struggling , Speak up!

However, when she opened her mouth, what she said was the last of the Chu Dynasty—the sound of death!
At this moment, Chu Chengfei also opened his eyes wide, his tearful eyes were full of panic, and he looked at his queen mother full of despair.

He murmured: "Mother..."

The Empress Dowager Jiang slowly climbed up the Tianchi step by step, and walked up to the dragon chair, looked down at him, then reached out and took the little hand he had been stretching towards her as if asking for help.

She said: "Your Majesty, great things are hard to accomplish."

"..."

"The dynasty has achieved its end."

"..."

"Let's go..."

After finishing speaking, she pulled Chu Chengfei off the dragon chair with all her strength!
Sorry it's still past twelve o'clock, good night everyone
