Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 371 The Truth in the Painting (1 More)
What Old Master Lu gave her was the secret decree of the first emperor.

The first emperor ordered him to leave immediately after receiving the secret decree without delay.

So he left without saying goodbye at the beginning because he had the emperor's order.

Before she got the truth, she felt unwilling.

Now that she knew the truth, she felt even more unwilling.

Obviously, as long as that night passed, the Lu family would come to propose marriage, and she would be able to become the daughter-in-law of the Lu family smoothly, but the late emperor secretly ordered him to leave Beijing that day.

The first emperor may have no intentions, but her fate has changed drastically because of this.

Missing that day's difference made her feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

It's as if something is clearly in front of you, but when you stretch out your hand, it's just a fingertip away, and you can't reach it with all your strength.

The Empress Dowager held the scroll tightly, resisting the urge to burn it with a fire, "Aijia doesn't understand, what is the importance of these four paintings, the late emperor insisted that you leave Beijing to look for them on that day?"

Dare to enter the palace to meet the queen mother, Lu Laohou is already ready to confess the truth,

He didn't hide any more, "The night before the veteran left Beijing, there was a vision from the sky. The alchemist calculated that within a hundred years of our dynasty, there would be an unprecedented war. After this battle, Great Chu was destroyed."

The Empress Dowager's face suddenly turned pale, "How is it possible..."

Lord Lu continued: "This is a big matter, in order not to cause panic among the people, the late Emperor sealed everyone's mouths and discussed countermeasures with the alchemists overnight.

In the end, it was decided to let the old minister go out to find the legendary "Liu's Magical Soldiers" on the grounds of collecting antique calligraphy and paintings. "

"Liu's Divine Soldier?"

Old Master Lu nodded, "There was a Master Liu in the Jin Dynasty. The world only knew that he was outstanding in calligraphy and painting, but he was not actually surnamed Liu, but his real surname was Liu.

Liu Jiazu has a unique skill: designing mechanism weapons.

Mr. Liu's grandfather once designed a set of weapons with mechanisms for Emperor Jin'an in the palace. Later, when a war broke out, Emperor Jin'an's army relied on that set of exquisite and ingenious mechanism weapons to defeat the enemy with a small number of victories.

Afterwards, Emperor Jin'an killed the donkey in order to prevent the Liu family from rebelling, and randomly charged him with nine clans. Mr. Liu was the only survivor of the Liu family back then.

After he narrowly escaped death, he changed his name and surname, and since then, there has been another Master Liu in the world.

Mr. Liu devoted his whole life to the research on how to embed Liu's weapon map into paintings, so there were four paintings that were later famous all over the world: Shifangya, Baicunxin, Qianzhangxue and Wanlichun.

It was these four paintings that the late emperor asked the veterans to find. "

There was silence in the hall for a while, and Old Lord Lu went on to say: "Back then, the late Emperor was afraid because of the alchemist's prophecy. Even though he knew that finding all four paintings would not happen overnight, he would not allow the old minister to stay in the capital for a while, and he would let the old minister stay in the capital with a secret decree." Immediately leave.

The empress dowager should have seen it. At the end of the secret decree, the first emperor explicitly warned that if the old minister leaked half of this matter to anyone, the Lu family would face the disaster of annihilation.

If the last painting was not in the hands of the empress, the old minister would definitely not dare to enter the palace today, and would not dare to let you have a look at the secret decree. "

As he said that, Old Master Lu leaned down and rested his forehead on the back of his hand, "It's about the country and society, and I hope that the empress can temporarily put aside personal grievances and hand over the painting to the old minister."

The queen mother did not speak, and the hand holding the scroll tightened a little bit.

Her hands have held a pen, pinched a needle, been stained with human life and blood.

But never for a moment did she feel that the things in her hands were as heavy as they are now.

It was so heavy that she could hardly bear the weight, and her fingers, wrists, and even her body were trembling.

The hatred she had held back for more than 40 years, and what she thought was heartless, seemed insignificant and absurd at the moment when the truth came to light.

It was hot summer, and the sun was shining outside, so that white smoke was coming out of the ground.

Empress Dowager Renyi's back was covered with cold sweat, and the cold penetrated to the bottom of her heart.

Old Hou Ye Lu kept kneeling and did not make a sound for a long time.

The Empress Dowager sat there for almost a stick of incense, and finally recovered, raised her hand and pressed the corners of her eyes. Bring me the casket!"

Eunuch Jiang, who was waiting outside, heard the sound, and immediately went to take out the long box with auspicious animal patterns hidden by the queen mother in the dense grid under the phoenix couch, and carefully presented it to her.

The queen mother did not answer, and pointed to the person kneeling on the ground with her eyes, "Give it to the old master!"

Old Master Lu took the long box and kowtowed again, "Old minister thank you for your kindness."

The queen mother pursed her lips and looked at him, and said in a deep voice, "Old Hou has endured humiliation for 40 years, this thank you should have come from Aijia."

"The Empress Dowager speaks seriously." Lu Laohou said in a steady tone as always, "The old minister won the love of the late emperor and was able to become a marquis in one battle. It is the mission of the veteran to fight for the country and protect the great Chu Jiangshan community, and the veteran will not hesitate."

The queen mother was silent for a long time, and told Eunuch Jiang, "Send the old Marquis out of the palace."

After the people left, the Queen Mother stared at the position where Old Master Lu had knelt for a while.

Decades of revenge turned into unreasonable trouble, and the resentment suddenly disintegrated. She seemed to lose her support in an instant. As soon as she stood up, she felt dark in front of her eyes, her body was unstable, and she fell straight down.

The exclamation of palace eunuchs suddenly sounded in Shou'an Palace.

"The Empress Dowager!"

"Please call the imperial physician!"

……

Before her [-]th birthday, Empress Dowager Renyi collapsed first and was bedridden.

Emperor Guangxi came to visit her.

Looking at the haggard birth mother who was covered with gorgeous hair and described as haggard on the bed in just a few days, Emperor Guangxi was heartbroken, and cast a cold and sharp look at the imperial physician beside him, "What's the matter with the Empress Dowager?"

The imperial doctor was in a dilemma, he hesitated for a long time and couldn't tell why.

Emperor Guangxi was furious, and was about to be dragged down to beat the board, but was stopped by the Queen Mother.

"emperor……"

The Empress Dowager's voice was weak, and she was no longer as vigorous as before, but her face was peaceful.

"Mother, my son is here." Emperor Guangxi moved over and listened, "Do you have anything to say?"

"Aijia's body is clear to Aijia." The Queen Mother's lips moved, "You don't have to embarrass the doctor anymore."

"My mother's mother is in her sixtieth year, and she still has a long lifespan. It's because these quack doctors are not doing enough. My son, let people go and invite the head of the king's court."

The queen mother said, "Emperor, please listen to Ai's family first."

The battle of confessing the last words made Emperor Guangxi frowned deeply, his eyes were red, "Mother Queen..."

"The Ai family can't afford to be ill this time, and I'm afraid they will be able to reunite with the late emperor in the near future. There are only a few wishes left. After the Ai family leaves, you must fulfill it for the Ai family."

"..." Emperor Guangxi was speechless. The strong biological mother who had been strict with him since he was a child and taught him to be a Mingjun when he grew up suddenly ran out of oil, which made him accept his incompetence for a while.

"In this life, the Ai family relied on hatred for the old man to survive until the age of 60. He did many things wrong, missed his own daughter, and harmed his young grandson. The Ai family is sorry for Fanghua, and for Yan Qing. I'm sorry...that granddaughter who has never met me, no matter what happens in the future, please treat Fanghua and her three children kindly."

Emperor Guangxi took a deep breath, "I understand."

At this point, the Empress Dowager suddenly grabbed Emperor Guangxi's wrist, "The Marquis of Wu'an's mansion is full of loyal families, the old Marquis Lu has dedicated himself to the righteousness of his family and country, and his loyalty is enough to be named a first-class duke. Loyalty to the Duke, descendants, hereditary will not replace."

Emperor Guangxi was shocked, "Why did the empress suddenly reward the Lu family?"

Just now he thought that the queen mother was a dying person and her words were kind, but on this day, looking at the past and the past, he never thought that she would completely let go of her hatred for that person.

"Don't ask too many questions, just do as the Ai family asked." The Queen Mother panted slightly, with tears welling up in her eyes, "You just have to remember well, if the country is in trouble in the future, the Lu family will definitely step forward to help you recover The prosperous Qingming Dynasty. One day, the emperor no longer has to think about the past. Fanghua's husband is the God of War. Even if he has been silent for many years, he will never really be reduced to an ordinary person. The country is big. At that time, he must be called back to help You have a helping hand."

Before the death of the first emperor, Emperor Guangxi had never heard such terrifying last words, and he did not expect these words to come from the mouth of the queen mother.

In a short period of time, Emperor Guangxi could not hastily agree to the Queen Mother, but tried his best to say comforting words, "My son has already sent a letter to Ningzhou, please come back to Fanghua. If you have anything to explain, the Queen Mother will wait for her to come face to face." Tell her."

The queen mother loosened his hand.

Emperor Guangxi was afraid that she would be disappointed, and said again: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will do my best to ask someone to heal you."

The queen mother stared blankly at the direction of the door.

She wasn't sick, but she was exhausted after the sudden collapse of her beliefs. She knew better than anyone else that she had only a few days to live.

The son's voice came from my ear again, "Queen, no matter what, you must wait until Fanghua comes back."

The queen mother felt tired, moved her mouth, but couldn't make a sound, couldn't answer her son's words, so she had to close her eyes.

Seeing this, Emperor Guangxi's face changed completely with fright, and he quickly stretched out his hand to feel her breath, to make sure that she was still alive, then he breathed a sigh of relief, and told Eunuch Jiang, "Quickly go and invite the head of the court."
