Chapter 591
On the first day of November, Jun Qing's birthday, the crown prince did not celebrate when he was one year old, and there was chaos in the palace at that time, and no one dared to mention it.
Now, the crown prince has been around for two weeks, and the queen is by his side. Qin Palace often sees the emperor's family reunion, and the House of Internal Affairs has to organize the crown prince's birthday banquet early.
Bai Ye, the second son of the Bai family, inherits the title and is scheduled to marry Princess Ningkang of Dongxing on November [-].Uncle Bai retreated to study Buddhism and did not care about political affairs. In the past month, everything that happened in Chang'an City was a major event in the Western Qin Dynasty.
On the first day of November, the palace hosted a banquet for the prince, and even Grand Marshal Bai Yue returned to the court to celebrate the prince.There are rumors that Grand Marshal Bai Yue has been stationed outside the city since Dongxing and Northern Jin envoys came to Chang'an to protect the safety of the imperial city and Great Qin.
In Chaohua Hall, the seating arrangements are also very interesting. The current head of the Bai family, Bai Ye, actually sits next to Generalissimo Bai Yue, and the cold-faced Generalissimo nodded when Bai Ye talked with him.The situation in the Bai family has never been as harmonious as it is now. It seems that the past grudges have improved with the change of the head of the Bai family.
When the monarch and his ministers were all happy, they suddenly heard the news from the palace people that the Empress Dowager had arrived, and everyone at the banquet stopped to drink and drink in harmony.
Normally, Empress Dowager Bai would never attend this occasion, not to mention this time, even if the former emperor ordered people to invite, Empress Dowager Bai would come if she was happy and go if she was not.
Unexpectedly, when the crown prince's birthday and the officials were celebrating, the Empress Dowager came down to the Chaohua Palace, followed by a crowd of palace people.
Earlier, due to the matter between Cao Ankang and Bai Lu, the Empress Dowager Bai lost her left hand and right arm, and the palace guards in the Palace of Compassionate Ning were also replaced. Said to be sick.
In addition to the blood exchange of the Bai family, the Queen Mother Bai had no internal support no matter inside or outside the palace. She was really emptied of power and became a veritable empress dowager.
"The empress dowager is a thousand years old!"
I don't know who started it, everyone at the banquet got up and knelt down, the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother after all, she is His Majesty's biological mother, even if it's just an empty air, it should not be neglected.
The empress and the prince sat in the high position, which was a happy scene, but when the prince saw the queen mother, he shrank a bit, with a timid innocent face, he hid in the queen's arms, his eyes were pure and innocent.
The emperor looked at the expressions of his wife and children and knew that something was wrong, but before he could speak, Bai Lijing on the phoenix seat embraced Jun Qing, stroked his head, and said with a smile: "Good luck, empress dowager! Qing'er, please greet the emperor's grandmother!" .”
The empress and the empress dowager were at odds again, but she did a good job on this stage, without breaking the news at all, as if there had never been any unhappiness, she strictly abided by the etiquette and seniority in the palace, and gave the empress dowager the face she deserved.
"Grandmother..." Jun Tingting called out after listening to his mother's words, but his big eyes blinked, he didn't quite understand the meaning of the word, and his little hand was still holding on to his mother's phoenix robe.
The wound on the little man's face has faded a lot, leaving only a faint mark.
"Please sit down, Queen Mother." Seeing that the Queen let go, the Emperor didn't say anything more. The palace servants had already arranged the position of the Queen Mother and helped her to sit down.
The civil and military officials in Chaohua Palace at this moment are all figures that Daqin can handle, but no matter how important they are like Bo Yan, they dare not speak out at this moment.The few people on the high platform are connected by blood, no matter whether they are unfamiliar or have grievances, it is not for them, the courtiers, to judge, after all, it is a family matter.
The palace servants who followed the Empress Dowager lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the Empress. They were obviously guilty.The cronies around the Empress Dowager Bai were dismissed, and they were considered to be half-guarded in the Compassion Palace. This time, the Empress Dowager must have insisted on coming, and the guards who guarded her did not dare to do anything to the Empress Dowager, so they could only follow.
In the final analysis, the emperor was still kind, even if there was a change in the Bai family and there were many rumors in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, the emperor never killed the queen mother, leaving her enough face and freedom.
After the Empress Dowager Bai sat down, it was rare for her to be kind and kind. Her face had the usual good looks of the Bai family. If she wanted to be kind, she could be kind. He prepared two gadgets, which can be regarded as a gift from Aijia."
The empress dowager was willing to lower her status to prepare a congratulatory gift for the prince's birthday, and everyone who knew the relationship between the empress and the empress felt guilty.
Could it be that the empress dowager was forced out of her weakness by the empress's vicious means, and planned to take this opportunity to reconcile with the empress, so that she would be willing to be an empress dowager who cares about everything and takes care of herself?
But apparently, the empress, who was well-mannered and well-mannered, didn't think so. Although she had a smile on her face, she was staring at the empress dowager with deep eyes, as if she wanted to see through the empress dowager.
The two most honorable women in the harem are majestic and powerful. One is the emperor's biological mother and the other is the prince's biological mother. In a face-to-face contest, it is difficult to decide who will win.
The Empress Dowager Bai suddenly spoke surprisingly, expressing what the Empress was thinking: "Why? The Empress would not think that there was some poison in this brocade box, would she? The Ai family attacked the prince, what good would it do for the Ai family? This country belongs to the emperor. Jiangshan, the crown prince is the future crown prince, how can he be sorry for his family, dare to fight against the emperor, and the future emperor? It is good for the empress to act cautiously, but she is too suspicious."
Bai Lijing was never embarrassed by Queen Mother Bai's sarcasm, and said with a half-smile: "The queen mother is worrying too much, and the concubine is just guessing. What is in the box can make the queen mother think so much about sending it to the prince herself? How about the prince?" Can you bear this kindness?"
Jun Qing couldn't understand what they were talking about, but only knew that the box was for him. The color of the brocade box was so beautiful and dazzling, I didn't know what was inside.
But the mother hadn't spoken yet, so Jun Qing had no choice but to remain silent, and suddenly heard his father speak: "Bring me the brocade box, and I'll see what it is. If it's interesting, I'll leave it for the prince."
Hearing Junzhi speak, Bailijing frowned suddenly, she turned her head to look at him, and before she could stop him, the palace servant had already sent the brocade box over.The guards close by were very vigilant, they had already opened the brocade box, took out the contents of the box, and presented it to the emperor.
It's not very good-looking to make such a situation at the crown prince's birthday banquet. The emperor's move only relieved the embarrassment a little bit, and drew the attention of the king and everyone to the congratulatory gift from the queen mother.
Jun Zhi looked at the two things with the hands of the guards, and smiled: "Nine Links and Qiqiaotu, this is something I liked when I was young, and it's hard for my mother to remember it. When the prince grows up, he can play with it." Yes. Qing'er, thank you, Grandmother."
The Emperor's attitude towards the Empress Dowager was always unpredictable. He could neglect the Empress Dowager for a long time for the sake of his wife and children. From childhood to adulthood, he seldom obeyed the Empress Dowager's wishes, whether it was family affairs or the marriage of the Empress Dowager, so that the mother and son turned against each other.But on this occasion, the emperor still tried his best to give the empress dowager face.
In front of the officials, the Empress Dowager Bai waved at the emperor: "Be good, Prince, come to the imperial grandmother and let the imperial grandmother hug her. Every grandchild is close to the grandmother. The first grandchild of the Ai family, It's a pity that I haven't been under Huanai's family until I was two years old."
The crown prince's birthday banquet suddenly turned into a favor banquet for the empress dowager, and the gesture of the empress dowager is also difficult for people to understand.It seems that I suddenly remembered the preciousness of family affection, understood the truths that I didn't understand for a long time, and wanted to take this opportunity to make up for it.
It's a pity that Bailijing is now a mother who is always vigilant, and she is facing Bai Yao, a woman. She has never let down her vigilance, and she has never thought of becoming like a king, and reuniting with Bai Yao.
Some things happen, they happen, and they will never be undone. How can it be so easy, and they can be written off with a few words?
"The empress dowager, the prince is afraid of life. He was frightened last time, and he has never recovered from it. The empress dowager is the prince's grandmother, and she is still in good health. In the future, there will be many opportunities for the prince to be happy with her. Wait a few days, and the prince will kiss you." Going to the Compassionate Ning Palace to visit the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid that the imperial grandmother will get bored." Bai Lijing put his arms around Jun Qing and stroked his head.
"Mother's queen..." Jun tilted his head to look at his mother, and his pure eyes looked at the very colorful brocade box from time to time.
The child is very sensitive to colors, and he doesn't understand anything yet. A two-year-old child, even if he is the emperor in the future, can't have everything he wants now. He wants it, but restrains himself.
Bai Lijing's distrustful attitude obviously meant not to give Empress Dowager Bai face, not to let the prince get close to Empress Dowager Bai, at least not today.
When the courtiers were embarrassed, they suddenly heard Grand Marshal Bai Yue in the hall say in a deep voice: "Today is the crown prince's birthday banquet. A two-year-old child cannot be coaxed with just one gift. The empress dowager has been in a high position for a long time, and she has never even understood this truth. In vain as a grandmother."
"..." There was dead silence in the hall.
If there is anyone in this world who would dare not show face to the queen mother in public, even the emperor would not do something, Marshal Bai Yue did it. He helped his daughter speak, and he questioned his own sister.
Apart from the Queen Mother, the Empress and the Crown Prince, who is more noble than Marshal Bai Yue?
As the emperor's uncle, father-in-law, empress's father, prince's grandfather, empress dowager's brother, and the Great Qin's God of War, his words carry enough weight no matter whether he is in the court or in the opposition, and he unceremoniously ended the battle. Awkward.
After talking, the Empress Dowager Bai was not annoyed, and she never left the table without a word of disagreement like in the past. She just smiled lightly and said: "What the Generalissimo said is very true. Today is the crown prince's big day, and the emperor does not have to accommodate the Ai family." , Ladies and gentlemen, do whatever you want, the Ai family will not ruin your happiness. With this glass of wine, the Ai family wishes the great Qin for generations to come, the emperor and the crown prince will be blessed forever, long live long live."
It was rare for the Empress Dowager Bai to say something pleasant. Under the affection of the Empress Dowager, both the emperor and the courtiers raised their glasses and drank together. Whether it was the beginning or the end of the prince's birthday banquet, it can be said that it was not in a good mood. It was really harmonious.
When the banquet was over, Empress Dowager Bai Feng drove first, passed by Bai Ye, paused, and said with a smile: "Greetings to your grandfather and father on behalf of the Ai family. It is a blessing for the Bai family to have you as a good son. Ten January [-]th is your big day, the Ai family will go to the lively scene, the Bai family has not had such a happy event for many years."
These words were neither salty nor bland, moody and angry, it seemed to be scolding, but it also seemed to be praise.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your kindness." Bai Ye only nodded in response, without any emotional ups and downs. The new Patriarch of the Bai family is always restrained and prudent, making it unpredictable.
After a banquet, it seemed that the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager had eased, and everyone was wondering if the Empress Dowager had had enough of being neglected in the palace, and she took the initiative to show her kindness to the Empress Dowager.
If one party shows favor, the relationship can be improved. Many people are looking forward to the end of the cold winter in the Great Qin Palace.
However, on November [-]th, the day of Bai Ye's wedding with Princess Ningkang of Dongxing, something happened to Jun Qing.
During the day, Jun Zhi and Bai Lijing went to Bai Ye's wedding ceremony. After all, it was a marriage between the two countries, and the Great Qin Emperor Empress must pay attention to it.After returning to the palace, Junzhi was not in good health, so Bailijing served him with medicinal baths.
The climate in Chang'an City is no better than that in the south of the Yangtze River, Junzhi still feels unwell after October.The poison cannot be cured, and he will suffer from it all his life.
Every time Bailijing watched him suffer, although she didn't say anything by staying with him, she was really dissatisfied with his tolerance towards the Queen Mother.Thinking about it, no matter in the palace or among the people, discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is always a problem. Even if he is as noble as the West Qin Emperor, he can hide when he can, and avoid when he can.
It is true that he has always protected his wife and children, but he also indulged his mother. The Great Qin Emperor caught in the middle has many weaknesses that men have in common.
After getting married and having children, Bai Lijing had many complex emotions that she never had when she was a girl.She has more and heavier things to bear, thinking about how to protect Junqing comprehensively, how to take care of Junzhi's body, seeing that he is suffering from illness, she has to ask Beijun Medicine King to come out of the mountain again and trek thousands of miles to Chang'an Palace City Come.
It's not even that she wants to gain power by joining forces with the Bai family. Power is always a good thing, and she knows the tricks in it.It's just that Bai Ye is right about one thing. If the Bai family falls, what good will it do her?
The three families of the Bo family, the Nie family, and the Meng family are fighting against each other. Even if Bo Yan is the prime minister, there is still Fanhua who can restrain him. After all, it is not as safe as the Bai family.
Everyone takes what they need, you have me, Bai Ye wants to keep the Bai family alive, she wants to protect Jun Qing to grow up without worry.Emperor Daqin is not a fool, the reason why he indulges her is because that is what he thinks in his heart - May the Bai family assist the prince and grow up with Daqin, this is her and his long-cherished wish.
In the mist, Bailijing smelled the pervasive aroma of herbs, knelt down by the pool, and held Jun Zhi's shoulders.
After relaxing for a while, Jun Zhi suddenly held her hand and wrote stroke by stroke.
Bai Lijing put one arm around his neck, and let him write and draw with the other hand. When she recognized what she wrote, she smiled: "It's a bit ugly."
Jun Zhi's expression darkened.
What he wrote was, "When I look in the mirror recently, I don't seem as good-looking as before. What does Jing'er think?"
Seeing him sigh, Bai Lijing seemed helpless.No matter how good-looking a person is, his appearance will be damaged under the torture of illness. If he is free from illness and disaster, he will look much better.
Bai Lijing put her arms around his neck, but didn't dare to put all her strength on him, kissed one side of his ear lightly, and murmured: "Although ugly is a bit ugly, it's better than Mo Wen, I can bear Mo Wen's face, what are you afraid of, Your Majesty?"
The estrangement between the two has completely disappeared, and they can calmly talk about someone or something from the past, this is what an old couple should be like.
Jun Zhi then laughed, touched her face with his backhand, and said in a hoarse and unsteady voice mockingly: "How can he compare with me with his ugly face? Jing'er, I really want you to see what I look like."
The great emperor of the Western Qin Dynasty renewed the covenant with Dongxing, drove out the Turks by himself, slaughtered thousands of miles of blood on the battlefield, led the Great Qin cavalry to reorganize the rivers and mountains, and reformed the corrupt system.
Even the late Emperor Dongxing Jingyuan once said that having a son should be like the great emperor of the Western Qin Dynasty.
Listening to the condescending contempt of Mo Wen from Emperor Xiqin, and thinking about the past, Bai Lijing smiled on the side of his neck and said: "The folk customs in Shengjing are very lazy, and what is sung and said in dramas and storytelling has never been the same. I don’t shy away from being the emperor, even the emperors of other countries. I remember the first time I heard your name, it was in the pavilion beside the Zhuangyuan Bridge..."
Jun Zhi was surprised: "Huh?"
Bailijing smiled, and said slowly: "Before this, I had never heard of a storyteller. The gentleman beat the drum, and even said and gestured, saying that the emperor of the Western Qin Dynasty would always wear a ghost mask when he went out to battle, scaring the Turkic Tartars. Hearing the news, he was terrified. One day he was victorious, and the troops were withdrawn with money, and the men and horses were exhausted. They camped in a village, and saw a peasant girl washing clothes by the river. He was so frightened that he threw his clothes and fled, and the water splashed all over Emperor Xiqin's body."
The smile on the corner of Jun Zhi's lips widened without interrupting her: "The Great Emperor Xiqin said in his heart, you peasant girl are so courageous that I don't even pay attention to you. That night, the peasant girl's parents and relatives, Bind the peasant girl and personally send her to the tent of the Great Emperor of West Qin, saying over and over again that the little girl has eyes but does not know Mount Tai, and now she is tied up and let the Emperor of West Qin dispose of her. If she wants to be killed or cut to pieces, the little girl's family has no complaints."
Speaking of this, Bai Lijing stopped talking.
Jun Zhi seemed to be interested, and asked, "And then?"
Bai Lijing said: "Then, the gentleman said that when the night was windy and rainy, there was a tendency of mountain rain in the tent of the Great Emperor of Western Qin. Can you guess whether it is wind and rain or cloud and rain? Boom—Mr. beat the drum and said with a smile , If you want to know what will happen next time, please listen to the next chapter, and I will explain it to you in detail next time! I am so anxious, it is rare to go out of the palace once, which time will it be next time? I hurriedly asked Mr. Mr. turned around and saw He and I eavesdropping under the pavilion, and saw that I was asking a straightforward question, and said, children are not allowed to listen to adults' stories! I refused to accept it, and neither did He. He asked first, what happened in the end? Is that girl killed? I asked, yes, the mask of Emperor Xiqin hasn’t been removed yet, does he look good?”
"There are a lot of people laughing around. Mr. Storyteller was helpless when we asked him, and he told us impatiently, he was killed, he was killed, the Great Emperor Xiqin is more terrifying than ghosts, he will eat that girl, children, don't listen to books , Otherwise, Emperor Xiqin will eat you too! Do you know why Emperor Xiqin wears a mask? He is too ugly to see people!"
"Then, one day I saw the third and fourth younger sisters playing, saying that they could marry the Emperor Xiqin when they grow up, that he is a great hero, etc., so I hurried forward and told them, no, no, they will be eaten It's gone, the Great Emperor Xiqin is too ugly, you must not do stupid things..."
"Heh..." Jun Zhi smiled sullenly.
A small story has been told for a long time, and there are many things wrong and nonsense in the story, but her tone is extraordinarily cheerful, as if she deliberately made him happy.
Seeing that she had finished speaking, Jun Zhi commented: "Jing'er is giving up her life to feed a tiger, her courage is commendable."
Bai Lijing sighed, frowned and approached him, and asked: "I was only nine or ten years old at that time, and I didn't understand many things. That night, Emperor Xiqin brought that civilian girl into the camp. Killed, or killed? Is it wind and rain in the night tent, or cloud and rain? Hmm? Can Your Majesty tell me personally? The old events of ten years ago are still in my heart. "
Seriously teasing him by storytelling, Jun Zhi soaked in medicinal herbs relieved a lot of pain, he turned around and hugged her in his arms, sighed: "If there is a second Western Qin Emperor living in the mouth of Mr. Storyteller , That night, I must have eaten her, right? It was lonely on the march, and it was rare for anyone to comfort me. I didn’t know the joy of cloud and rain before, it’s a pity that I have such a beautiful face in this prosperous age.”
Half of Bailijing's body was almost submerged in the water, and when she heard the Emperor Daqin boasting without hesitation, she smiled softly: "So, why do you need to worry about your majesty, I will be able to see what your majesty looks like at that time I have already seen the appearance of one or two years old."
Time will never come back, but fortunately he and she have a child, and all the appearances of him that she has never seen may be glimpsed in the child. This is the wonder of blood relatives.
"Well, only Qing'er can get some of my color, I am very satisfied." Jun Zhi acquiesced, then gently squeezed Bai Lijing's chin and said: "Little lunatic, I want to see what you looked like when you were young. When I was nine or ten years old, I listened to those bastard stories, and I kept asking, but when I was twelve or thirteen years old, I started to love each other. Where can I find those years I missed?"
"So..." Baili Jing squinted at him without avoiding it.
See through him at a glance.
Jun Zhi kissed her lips with a smile, and his smile added color, and the mountains and rivers were overwhelmed, with tenderness between his lips and teeth: "So, I want to get better soon, and have a daughter, like the daughter of my little lunatic." , let me love and hate my daughter."
"What if... my daughter also looks like the Great Emperor of West Qin?" Baili Jing sucked his lips, adding fuel and vinegar not lightly or seriously.
"..." Jun Zhi thought about it seriously, "With my prosperous beauty, my daughter looks like me, so it shouldn't be too bad."
Such a prosperous beauty...
The empress had been lingering for a while, when suddenly someone came in to report that something had happened to the crown prince, and Bai Lijing's body couldn't stop shaking.
However, Junzhi was halfway through the medicine bath and was drowsy. Bailijing was afraid that he would be worried, so she didn't dare to disturb him, so she quietly backed out.
Something happened to Jun Qing again, and the cause was the nine-linked and seven-handed diagram in the brocade box.It was obviously tested to be non-toxic and harmless, Fanhua saw that Jun Qing really liked it, so he gave it to him to play with.
Unexpectedly, just a moment after touching them, rashes appeared on Jun Qing's hands and body. The rash developed rapidly and festered. He cried out in pain, scaring Fanhua and others half to death.
"Your Majesty, the King of Medicine happened to enter the palace just now, and the crown prince is now being treated by the King of Medicine..." Seeing that Bai Lijing was walking in a hurry, and she was unwilling to change her wet robe, she hurriedly advised .
Although persuasion is persuasion, I can't guarantee that nothing will happen. This persuasion has no effect.
Bai Lijing pursed her lips and did not say a word. After entering the side hall of the Qingxin Hall, she saw that the North County Medicine King was here, and the dust had not been washed away, so she hurriedly treated Jun Qing.
"Your Majesty!" Fanhua was terrified, her eyes were red, since she returned to Chang'an City, she had never lost her composure, "Obviously...that box..."
Fanhua couldn't speak, and only blamed herself. Seeing Jun Qing like that, she felt distressed and uncomfortable.
Hearing Fanhua's call, the Beijun Medicine King turned around and gave the written prescription to the palace servants, asking them to grab the medicine, and he did not forget to appease the crazy Bailijing: "This poison is very evil, it's a bit like Yan Shi's poison." It is harmless to adults, it is only effective on children, the younger the child, the easier it is to be poisoned, if an ordinary child would be poisoned as soon as they touched it, it would probably kill them in less than two hours."
Bailijing's breathing gradually became heavy following Beijun Yaowang's description, and her expression became more and more dignified.
Beijun Yaowang said: "However, Jun Qing laid a good foundation at the bottom of the Ming Valley. Even though he has been exposed to poison, it just came out immediately. These rashes look terrible, and they burn all over the body. In fact, it is a good thing. The poison has never entered the body. In time It will disappear, don't panic."
"Young Master, that old lady of the Empress Dowager really wants to harm Xiao Jun!" Fanhua ruthlessly pinched the Qiqiaotu to pieces, and said through gritted teeth, "I'll settle the score with her!"
Regardless of the grievances or grievances of Beijun, the king of medicine only said what he knew: "Throw the nine-linked and seven-skilled diagrams into the fire and burn them, and the poison will be destroyed."
Bai Lijing listened to them talking, looked at the tear stains on Jun Qing's face and the festering rash on his fine skin, saw him sobbing on the couch, stretched out his arms to be hugged by her, but because he was in the process of diagnosis and treatment I can't do whatever I want... All the thoughts I had just been lingering by the bathtub disappeared!
The fingers were tightened more and more tightly in the sleeves, Bailijing didn't want to bear it for a moment, couldn't bear it for a moment!
After what happened with Bai Lu and Cao Ankang, Bai Yao has been emptied of power, leaving nothing but powerlessness. Bai Lijing originally wanted to calm things down, and I will not offend anyone. Forever, but what kind of evil spirit Bai Yao is reincarnated? !
She, Bailijing, retreated again and again, but Bai Yao still reached out to her true love, how could she remain calm and indifferent? !
Thank you Bai Yao, there is no cure for Jun Zhi being brought into this situation, she begged the medicine king to come to Beijing, just in time to save Jun Qing's life.If it was diagnosed and treated by an ordinary imperial physician, who would be able to conclude that Jun Qing would survive today?
Thank you Bai Yao for your patience, the poisoner never cares about the consequences, even if today's plan fails, where will he do it next time?The wicked are always dormant in the dark, and every day they live, they will be tortured for a day, so that they can't predict when, where, year and month they will lose their loved ones!
This crime should be punished!
"Young master..." Fanhua also noticed that Baili Jing's expression was wrong, and said in a low voice, "That old woman is too rampant after something like this happened, young master, I'd better tell His Majesty..."
Bailijing was sitting on the couch, stroking Junqing's head with one hand, and hearing Fanhua's words, she finally said quietly: "Your Majesty has not been in good health for the past two days, so don't bother him."
"But..." Fanhua was furious, but the opponent was not Bailu, Cao Ankang and others, but His Majesty's biological mother. Could it be possible that the empress will bear it with humiliation?Otherwise, as long as the Queen Mother is moved, how can I explain to His Majesty later?
Fanhua is angry again, wishing to get rid of it quickly, but that person's identity is a protective talisman, after such a vicious hand, he is obviously still confident!
In the evening, the sky was not yet completely dark, it was a rare sunny day, and there was even a sunset glow in the west.
Bai Lijing looked out of the window, and suddenly said: "Jun Qing troubles the medicine king to take care of it, I will go out to do some errands and come back."
A woman who is already a mother, no matter how young she is, has the firmness in her eyes that cannot be resisted. Beijun Yaowang nodded. He did not participate in these grievances, but sighed silently.
The past events of many years ago, the evil owed by anyone, will eventually be repaid.Ten years, 20 years, there will be a report.
……
Cining Palace.
Someone came in and spread the news, saying that the Empress Empress came here uninvited, and she brought a large team of people with her.
During the day, the Queen Mother also attended Bai Ye and Bailirou's wedding ceremony, and she is still dressed in a phoenix robe, showing great demeanor.
"Let her in." Hearing the news, the Empress Dowager Bai sat on the phoenix seat as before, and she didn't stop her, she didn't even feel angry and puzzled, she let Bailijing in, just like the black armor army broke in last time. The situation of strict obstruction is completely different.
Even, Queen Mother Bai's generous welcome gesture seemed to have expected Baili Jing to come, and she had been waiting for her for a long time.
"I just saw it at the wedding ceremony in the daytime, and it was lively for a while. This time the empress is here, is it because I can't invite the Ai family to attend the funeral? If it is a major event of the national funeral, the Ai family is happy to attend." The Queen Mother Bai raised the corners of her lips, describing her cleanliness. The words were chaotic, merciless, and cursed every sentence, as if they had expected what was going to happen.
Bai Lijing stepped into the hall, and looked coldly at the Empress Dowager who was sitting on the phoenix seat. Since Mingren didn't speak in secret, and the Empress Dowager already knew why she came, she would simply be straightforward.
Bai Lijing didn't answer what the Empress Dowager said, but asked instead: "Has the Empress Dowager ever tasted the cold palace?"
"..." Empress Dowager Bai was slightly taken aback, Bai Lijing's question was icy cold, and it sounded particularly cold in the empty hall.
Bai Lijing didn't need her to answer, and continued: "The empress dowager of the Qin Dynasty was born noble, maybe she has never lived a humble life, right? But since she is a woman in the palace, she naturally knows what the meaning of the cold palace is. A woman in the cold palace, They will live a miserable life day by day, starving and freezing, and it is such a cold day. The fire is removed, and the leftovers are cold... They are not as good as animals. However, they may be better than animals, at least they can’t make her hungry To die, to freeze to death, to hang on to her forever..."
Saying that, Bai Lijing looked outside the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and the twilight was fading little by little, and said coldly: "From today on, the Palace of Compassion and Ning will be a cold palace, I will let you taste it, called every day should not, It's a bad feeling. When the time comes, the Empress Dowager will no longer be as confident as she is now. Maybe in order to survive, the Empress Dowager will still beg for mercy. I'm waiting for that day. Come!"
There is no need to put on a stance of a big fight, and there is no need for the twists and turns when dealing with Bai Lu to be well-founded. As soon as Bai Lijing finished speaking, a group of guards rushed in and "bang" all the doors and windows of the Compassionate Ning Palace in a uniform manner. They fell on the ground and were crucified one by one.
With so many people, the sound of hammering nails reverberated in Ci Ning Palace, and hit the Empress Dowager's heart again and again.
"What do you want to do!" The Empress Dowager Bai stared angrily, caught off guard, "Your son is dead! You want to attack Ai's family?! You are treasonous! You are crazy!"
Empress Dowager Bai never expected to know all kinds of tortures in the deep palace, even at her young age.How to make a person live in fear and let the light disappear from her eyes bit by bit, the queen obviously knows this well.
Hearing the Empress Dowager mentioned Jun Qing, Bai Lijing curled her lips, and finally looked at her again: "Empress Dowager, take a good look at this sunset, and take a good look at this sporadic sunlight. In the next few decades, the Empress Dowager may not be able to see it." .Daily with the dark night, who knows if there are any ghosts in the dark night to claim their lives? After all, only the queen mother knows how much blood is on the hands of the queen mother."
The doors and windows were sealed, and the light disappeared bit by bit. Those people had no intention of stopping at all, and no one came to stop them outside. Empress Dowager Bai suddenly trembled: "You, you dare to touch the things in the Palace of Compassion, and the Ai Family. Let the emperor come to see me! The Ai family is the emperor's biological mother! How dare you be so presumptuous!"
Bai Lijing sneered, and looked mockingly at the panic-stricken Queen Mother Bai: "Now I think of your majesty? Empress Dowager, you will bear the sins you have made yourself. Your son will not come, he has been killed by you So, soaked in the medicine pool, dumb, covered in poison, he can't even care about himself, let alone save you."
"You want to rebel?! You bastard who confuses the king's heart! Whose power are you relying on! Bai Yue! The Ai family knew that his daughter would not be a good guy!" The Queen Mother saw that the last door was in Bailijing. Behind him, there was still light through the last window, and all the other doors and windows were sealed.
The Compassionate Ning Palace suddenly turned into a dark prison, the candles were not lit, and there seemed to be countless black shadows attacking her in the dark.
Empress Dowager Bai left the Phoenix seat in horror, and ran towards Bai Lijing, facing the light of the door.
Bai Lijing grabbed the Empress Dowager's wrist, ruthlessly, not allowing her to take a step forward, staring at the Empress Dowager with icy eyes: "Who is the Empress Dowager relying on? Injure him in the name of mother, let him listen to your arrangement, everything is up to you, give you private army, give you power, give you honor and favor for a lifetime! In the end, he was poisoned with a bowl of poison, ruined half of his life, and ended up alive It would be better to die! Even so, he never thought of letting you die, defending you everywhere, letting you continue to act recklessly, and planning to deal with his son! How could he have expected such an ending for his son who survived so hard? ? Are you worthy to be a mother? Are you worthy!"
"Shut up!" The Empress Dowager Bai was forced to be furious, her voice was hoarse, and she roared from the bottom of her heart, "You don't need to teach Aijia a lesson! His life was given by Aijia! He should listen to Aijia! Even if it is Die, he should be obedient! What qualifications do you have to teach Aijia a lesson?! He has been wronged, you let him come to Aijia to confront him!"
Bailijing sneered, and said lightly and floatingly, full of contempt: "The reason why you want to see him is because he is here, and you won't let you die. You know how to bully him too well. A formidable character, he was forced to be unable to fight back by the queen mother. But the queen mother did not expect that I am different from him. I have no feelings for you. I will not let my son fall into your hands again. Your Majesty! Go hand, I will! The sins he cannot bear, I will bear! Isn’t it like imprisoning the queen mother and treating her as a sinner? The queen mother will not die, so what karma is she afraid of? If there is karma in this world, it will be discussed in the next life. In this life, the queen mother will bear it."
Bai Lijing suddenly shook her hand, and the Empress Dowager Ren fell to the ground. She looked around at the kneeling palace servants, and said in a deep voice: "You guys keep watch day and night, don't let the Empress Dowager suffer any damage. My Palace wants the Empress Dowager to live a long life. This Palace of Compassion and Ning enjoys a lifetime of happiness. The last window should also be sealed, otherwise how can it be said that the sun cannot be seen?"
"Yes! Empress Dowager!" The answer was very crisp, and someone did it as soon as he said it, and there was another dull sound of nails being hammered into the wood.
"How dare you...how dare you...Bai Jing!" The Queen Mother fell to the ground, her long nails were broken, and blood flowed out from her fingertips.
But the sunlight was blocked, and the wound could not be seen clearly. The Empress Dowager Bai raised her hand and shouted sharply at Bailijing's back: "You are just trying to avenge Yan Ran! Don't use the emperor as an excuse! If your son is not dead , What crime do you use against Aijia! Let Jun Zhi come to see Aijia!"
She kept saying that she never gave in. The integrity of the Empress Dowager Bai's family deeply affected Bai Lu. Until her death, Bai Lu was still thinking about how to get revenge on Bai Lijing.
Baili Jing, who has dealt with even orphans and widows, wanted Bai Lu to die at the beginning, but it was because she uttered evil words to Jun, and her mouth was full of ruthless revenge. This trouble is more pleasant in death than in life. Otherwise, Bai Lu would not be able to She is an abandoned pawn, whether she is dead or not, does not affect her cooperation with the Bai family in the slightest.
At this time, when Queen Mother Bai mentioned Yan Ran, Bai Lijing's heart sank suddenly, and the smile on her lips slowly spread. She turned her head, squinted her eyes and stared down at Queen Mother Bai, and asked coldly: "Yeah, even if it's for Yan Ran, shouldn't you pay for your life? One corpse and two lives, how many years have you owed, you should pay it back. I didn't wrong you, and I didn't want your life. I'll pay for it." I want to watch you, tortured day by day! The 20-year-old Yan Ran died at your hands, and the 20-year-old me came back to claim my life. This is what you think of karma, Your retribution."
The last door and window were crucified, the last door was closed, and the Compassion Ning Palace became a pitch-black hell in an instant.
Empress Dowager Bai slapped the door and yelled, Baili Jing stood with her back to the door and stood on the high steps overlooking the huge Qin Palace. At sunset, jackdaws flew by in groups, showing no sign of snow , and there is no blue sky and white sun, it's just cold to the bone.
The Empress Dowager inside the door was still calling for the emperor to come and see her.
Bailijing walked down the steps without looking back, she knew in her heart that even if the queen mother was imprisoned and committed a crime of treason, this was far from their end.
……
After many days, the rash on Jun Qing's body gradually subsided. Although he suffered a lot, his life was safe in the end.
Beijun Yaowang remixed the medicine for Jun Zhi, and he had a slight complexion. After staying in the palace for a long time, he would inevitably meet Bai Yue frequently.
It's just that Junzhi never asked about the Compassionate Palace.
No one mentioned the change of the Compassionate Palace.
The Bai family is in the hands of Bai Ye, Bai Ye is newly married and does not often participate in court affairs, and the other three major families rarely pay respects to the Queen Mother, so the matter of the Queen Mother being imprisoned in the Palace of Compassion and Peace seems to have become a secret in the palace. No one dared to mention it.
But Jun Zhi is different, he is the Emperor of Qin, Bai Lijing doesn't believe that he has never heard the news, he probably already knew it.Did he not mention it because he pampered her, or did he already have other plans?
Jun Zhi would indulge her when treating anyone, but the birth mother, the Empress Dowager Bai, might have to say something else. After all, even the Empress Dowager Bai herself once said that the emperor would go to see her, and this matter would turn around.
In the blink of an eye, the winter solstice, the imperial court was on holiday, and there was an atmosphere of a new year in the palace. Fanhua suddenly led a young eunuch to report: "Your Majesty, this person said that the Empress Dowager wants to see her and wants to say a few words to her."
The Empress Dowager has been in the cold palace for more than ten days. I heard that she has a very hard temper. She didn't ask for a word, but asked her Majesty to come to see her. Apart from that, there was nothing but cursing.
Now that she only said that she wanted to see her, Bailijing was very puzzled.
The little eunuch was obviously influenced by the empress dowager's trend, and said tremblingly on the ground: "The empress dowager, the empress dowager said, there are a few words you want to say to the emperor, please tell the empress dowager, the empress dowager will give an explanation to the empress dowager for all the grievances and grievances in the past."
Does this mean that she must go?Or do you want to use this to get Jun Zhi to meet her?After more than ten days of torture in the cold palace, the majestic Queen Mother Bai was subdued?
There was no update last week, last week, [this Thursday night] make up an update, the number of words should not be many.Suddenly, I found that Xiaoxiang’s updated chapters can no longer be modified, so I can no longer catch bugs if there are typos or the like, and I will die of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Dear friends, just take a look.
(End of this chapter)
On the first day of November, Jun Qing's birthday, the crown prince did not celebrate when he was one year old, and there was chaos in the palace at that time, and no one dared to mention it.
Now, the crown prince has been around for two weeks, and the queen is by his side. Qin Palace often sees the emperor's family reunion, and the House of Internal Affairs has to organize the crown prince's birthday banquet early.
Bai Ye, the second son of the Bai family, inherits the title and is scheduled to marry Princess Ningkang of Dongxing on November [-].Uncle Bai retreated to study Buddhism and did not care about political affairs. In the past month, everything that happened in Chang'an City was a major event in the Western Qin Dynasty.
On the first day of November, the palace hosted a banquet for the prince, and even Grand Marshal Bai Yue returned to the court to celebrate the prince.There are rumors that Grand Marshal Bai Yue has been stationed outside the city since Dongxing and Northern Jin envoys came to Chang'an to protect the safety of the imperial city and Great Qin.
In Chaohua Hall, the seating arrangements are also very interesting. The current head of the Bai family, Bai Ye, actually sits next to Generalissimo Bai Yue, and the cold-faced Generalissimo nodded when Bai Ye talked with him.The situation in the Bai family has never been as harmonious as it is now. It seems that the past grudges have improved with the change of the head of the Bai family.
When the monarch and his ministers were all happy, they suddenly heard the news from the palace people that the Empress Dowager had arrived, and everyone at the banquet stopped to drink and drink in harmony.
Normally, Empress Dowager Bai would never attend this occasion, not to mention this time, even if the former emperor ordered people to invite, Empress Dowager Bai would come if she was happy and go if she was not.
Unexpectedly, when the crown prince's birthday and the officials were celebrating, the Empress Dowager came down to the Chaohua Palace, followed by a crowd of palace people.
Earlier, due to the matter between Cao Ankang and Bai Lu, the Empress Dowager Bai lost her left hand and right arm, and the palace guards in the Palace of Compassionate Ning were also replaced. Said to be sick.
In addition to the blood exchange of the Bai family, the Queen Mother Bai had no internal support no matter inside or outside the palace. She was really emptied of power and became a veritable empress dowager.
"The empress dowager is a thousand years old!"
I don't know who started it, everyone at the banquet got up and knelt down, the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother after all, she is His Majesty's biological mother, even if it's just an empty air, it should not be neglected.
The empress and the prince sat in the high position, which was a happy scene, but when the prince saw the queen mother, he shrank a bit, with a timid innocent face, he hid in the queen's arms, his eyes were pure and innocent.
The emperor looked at the expressions of his wife and children and knew that something was wrong, but before he could speak, Bai Lijing on the phoenix seat embraced Jun Qing, stroked his head, and said with a smile: "Good luck, empress dowager! Qing'er, please greet the emperor's grandmother!" .”
The empress and the empress dowager were at odds again, but she did a good job on this stage, without breaking the news at all, as if there had never been any unhappiness, she strictly abided by the etiquette and seniority in the palace, and gave the empress dowager the face she deserved.
"Grandmother..." Jun Tingting called out after listening to his mother's words, but his big eyes blinked, he didn't quite understand the meaning of the word, and his little hand was still holding on to his mother's phoenix robe.
The wound on the little man's face has faded a lot, leaving only a faint mark.
"Please sit down, Queen Mother." Seeing that the Queen let go, the Emperor didn't say anything more. The palace servants had already arranged the position of the Queen Mother and helped her to sit down.
The civil and military officials in Chaohua Palace at this moment are all figures that Daqin can handle, but no matter how important they are like Bo Yan, they dare not speak out at this moment.The few people on the high platform are connected by blood, no matter whether they are unfamiliar or have grievances, it is not for them, the courtiers, to judge, after all, it is a family matter.
The palace servants who followed the Empress Dowager lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the Empress. They were obviously guilty.The cronies around the Empress Dowager Bai were dismissed, and they were considered to be half-guarded in the Compassion Palace. This time, the Empress Dowager must have insisted on coming, and the guards who guarded her did not dare to do anything to the Empress Dowager, so they could only follow.
In the final analysis, the emperor was still kind, even if there was a change in the Bai family and there were many rumors in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, the emperor never killed the queen mother, leaving her enough face and freedom.
After the Empress Dowager Bai sat down, it was rare for her to be kind and kind. Her face had the usual good looks of the Bai family. If she wanted to be kind, she could be kind. He prepared two gadgets, which can be regarded as a gift from Aijia."
The empress dowager was willing to lower her status to prepare a congratulatory gift for the prince's birthday, and everyone who knew the relationship between the empress and the empress felt guilty.
Could it be that the empress dowager was forced out of her weakness by the empress's vicious means, and planned to take this opportunity to reconcile with the empress, so that she would be willing to be an empress dowager who cares about everything and takes care of herself?
But apparently, the empress, who was well-mannered and well-mannered, didn't think so. Although she had a smile on her face, she was staring at the empress dowager with deep eyes, as if she wanted to see through the empress dowager.
The two most honorable women in the harem are majestic and powerful. One is the emperor's biological mother and the other is the prince's biological mother. In a face-to-face contest, it is difficult to decide who will win.
The Empress Dowager Bai suddenly spoke surprisingly, expressing what the Empress was thinking: "Why? The Empress would not think that there was some poison in this brocade box, would she? The Ai family attacked the prince, what good would it do for the Ai family? This country belongs to the emperor. Jiangshan, the crown prince is the future crown prince, how can he be sorry for his family, dare to fight against the emperor, and the future emperor? It is good for the empress to act cautiously, but she is too suspicious."
Bai Lijing was never embarrassed by Queen Mother Bai's sarcasm, and said with a half-smile: "The queen mother is worrying too much, and the concubine is just guessing. What is in the box can make the queen mother think so much about sending it to the prince herself? How about the prince?" Can you bear this kindness?"
Jun Qing couldn't understand what they were talking about, but only knew that the box was for him. The color of the brocade box was so beautiful and dazzling, I didn't know what was inside.
But the mother hadn't spoken yet, so Jun Qing had no choice but to remain silent, and suddenly heard his father speak: "Bring me the brocade box, and I'll see what it is. If it's interesting, I'll leave it for the prince."
Hearing Junzhi speak, Bailijing frowned suddenly, she turned her head to look at him, and before she could stop him, the palace servant had already sent the brocade box over.The guards close by were very vigilant, they had already opened the brocade box, took out the contents of the box, and presented it to the emperor.
It's not very good-looking to make such a situation at the crown prince's birthday banquet. The emperor's move only relieved the embarrassment a little bit, and drew the attention of the king and everyone to the congratulatory gift from the queen mother.
Jun Zhi looked at the two things with the hands of the guards, and smiled: "Nine Links and Qiqiaotu, this is something I liked when I was young, and it's hard for my mother to remember it. When the prince grows up, he can play with it." Yes. Qing'er, thank you, Grandmother."
The Emperor's attitude towards the Empress Dowager was always unpredictable. He could neglect the Empress Dowager for a long time for the sake of his wife and children. From childhood to adulthood, he seldom obeyed the Empress Dowager's wishes, whether it was family affairs or the marriage of the Empress Dowager, so that the mother and son turned against each other.But on this occasion, the emperor still tried his best to give the empress dowager face.
In front of the officials, the Empress Dowager Bai waved at the emperor: "Be good, Prince, come to the imperial grandmother and let the imperial grandmother hug her. Every grandchild is close to the grandmother. The first grandchild of the Ai family, It's a pity that I haven't been under Huanai's family until I was two years old."
The crown prince's birthday banquet suddenly turned into a favor banquet for the empress dowager, and the gesture of the empress dowager is also difficult for people to understand.It seems that I suddenly remembered the preciousness of family affection, understood the truths that I didn't understand for a long time, and wanted to take this opportunity to make up for it.
It's a pity that Bailijing is now a mother who is always vigilant, and she is facing Bai Yao, a woman. She has never let down her vigilance, and she has never thought of becoming like a king, and reuniting with Bai Yao.
Some things happen, they happen, and they will never be undone. How can it be so easy, and they can be written off with a few words?
"The empress dowager, the prince is afraid of life. He was frightened last time, and he has never recovered from it. The empress dowager is the prince's grandmother, and she is still in good health. In the future, there will be many opportunities for the prince to be happy with her. Wait a few days, and the prince will kiss you." Going to the Compassionate Ning Palace to visit the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid that the imperial grandmother will get bored." Bai Lijing put his arms around Jun Qing and stroked his head.
"Mother's queen..." Jun tilted his head to look at his mother, and his pure eyes looked at the very colorful brocade box from time to time.
The child is very sensitive to colors, and he doesn't understand anything yet. A two-year-old child, even if he is the emperor in the future, can't have everything he wants now. He wants it, but restrains himself.
Bai Lijing's distrustful attitude obviously meant not to give Empress Dowager Bai face, not to let the prince get close to Empress Dowager Bai, at least not today.
When the courtiers were embarrassed, they suddenly heard Grand Marshal Bai Yue in the hall say in a deep voice: "Today is the crown prince's birthday banquet. A two-year-old child cannot be coaxed with just one gift. The empress dowager has been in a high position for a long time, and she has never even understood this truth. In vain as a grandmother."
"..." There was dead silence in the hall.
If there is anyone in this world who would dare not show face to the queen mother in public, even the emperor would not do something, Marshal Bai Yue did it. He helped his daughter speak, and he questioned his own sister.
Apart from the Queen Mother, the Empress and the Crown Prince, who is more noble than Marshal Bai Yue?
As the emperor's uncle, father-in-law, empress's father, prince's grandfather, empress dowager's brother, and the Great Qin's God of War, his words carry enough weight no matter whether he is in the court or in the opposition, and he unceremoniously ended the battle. Awkward.
After talking, the Empress Dowager Bai was not annoyed, and she never left the table without a word of disagreement like in the past. She just smiled lightly and said: "What the Generalissimo said is very true. Today is the crown prince's big day, and the emperor does not have to accommodate the Ai family." , Ladies and gentlemen, do whatever you want, the Ai family will not ruin your happiness. With this glass of wine, the Ai family wishes the great Qin for generations to come, the emperor and the crown prince will be blessed forever, long live long live."
It was rare for the Empress Dowager Bai to say something pleasant. Under the affection of the Empress Dowager, both the emperor and the courtiers raised their glasses and drank together. Whether it was the beginning or the end of the prince's birthday banquet, it can be said that it was not in a good mood. It was really harmonious.
When the banquet was over, Empress Dowager Bai Feng drove first, passed by Bai Ye, paused, and said with a smile: "Greetings to your grandfather and father on behalf of the Ai family. It is a blessing for the Bai family to have you as a good son. Ten January [-]th is your big day, the Ai family will go to the lively scene, the Bai family has not had such a happy event for many years."
These words were neither salty nor bland, moody and angry, it seemed to be scolding, but it also seemed to be praise.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your kindness." Bai Ye only nodded in response, without any emotional ups and downs. The new Patriarch of the Bai family is always restrained and prudent, making it unpredictable.
After a banquet, it seemed that the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager had eased, and everyone was wondering if the Empress Dowager had had enough of being neglected in the palace, and she took the initiative to show her kindness to the Empress Dowager.
If one party shows favor, the relationship can be improved. Many people are looking forward to the end of the cold winter in the Great Qin Palace.
However, on November [-]th, the day of Bai Ye's wedding with Princess Ningkang of Dongxing, something happened to Jun Qing.
During the day, Jun Zhi and Bai Lijing went to Bai Ye's wedding ceremony. After all, it was a marriage between the two countries, and the Great Qin Emperor Empress must pay attention to it.After returning to the palace, Junzhi was not in good health, so Bailijing served him with medicinal baths.
The climate in Chang'an City is no better than that in the south of the Yangtze River, Junzhi still feels unwell after October.The poison cannot be cured, and he will suffer from it all his life.
Every time Bailijing watched him suffer, although she didn't say anything by staying with him, she was really dissatisfied with his tolerance towards the Queen Mother.Thinking about it, no matter in the palace or among the people, discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is always a problem. Even if he is as noble as the West Qin Emperor, he can hide when he can, and avoid when he can.
It is true that he has always protected his wife and children, but he also indulged his mother. The Great Qin Emperor caught in the middle has many weaknesses that men have in common.
After getting married and having children, Bai Lijing had many complex emotions that she never had when she was a girl.She has more and heavier things to bear, thinking about how to protect Junqing comprehensively, how to take care of Junzhi's body, seeing that he is suffering from illness, she has to ask Beijun Medicine King to come out of the mountain again and trek thousands of miles to Chang'an Palace City Come.
It's not even that she wants to gain power by joining forces with the Bai family. Power is always a good thing, and she knows the tricks in it.It's just that Bai Ye is right about one thing. If the Bai family falls, what good will it do her?
The three families of the Bo family, the Nie family, and the Meng family are fighting against each other. Even if Bo Yan is the prime minister, there is still Fanhua who can restrain him. After all, it is not as safe as the Bai family.
Everyone takes what they need, you have me, Bai Ye wants to keep the Bai family alive, she wants to protect Jun Qing to grow up without worry.Emperor Daqin is not a fool, the reason why he indulges her is because that is what he thinks in his heart - May the Bai family assist the prince and grow up with Daqin, this is her and his long-cherished wish.
In the mist, Bailijing smelled the pervasive aroma of herbs, knelt down by the pool, and held Jun Zhi's shoulders.
After relaxing for a while, Jun Zhi suddenly held her hand and wrote stroke by stroke.
Bai Lijing put one arm around his neck, and let him write and draw with the other hand. When she recognized what she wrote, she smiled: "It's a bit ugly."
Jun Zhi's expression darkened.
What he wrote was, "When I look in the mirror recently, I don't seem as good-looking as before. What does Jing'er think?"
Seeing him sigh, Bai Lijing seemed helpless.No matter how good-looking a person is, his appearance will be damaged under the torture of illness. If he is free from illness and disaster, he will look much better.
Bai Lijing put her arms around his neck, but didn't dare to put all her strength on him, kissed one side of his ear lightly, and murmured: "Although ugly is a bit ugly, it's better than Mo Wen, I can bear Mo Wen's face, what are you afraid of, Your Majesty?"
The estrangement between the two has completely disappeared, and they can calmly talk about someone or something from the past, this is what an old couple should be like.
Jun Zhi then laughed, touched her face with his backhand, and said in a hoarse and unsteady voice mockingly: "How can he compare with me with his ugly face? Jing'er, I really want you to see what I look like."
The great emperor of the Western Qin Dynasty renewed the covenant with Dongxing, drove out the Turks by himself, slaughtered thousands of miles of blood on the battlefield, led the Great Qin cavalry to reorganize the rivers and mountains, and reformed the corrupt system.
Even the late Emperor Dongxing Jingyuan once said that having a son should be like the great emperor of the Western Qin Dynasty.
Listening to the condescending contempt of Mo Wen from Emperor Xiqin, and thinking about the past, Bai Lijing smiled on the side of his neck and said: "The folk customs in Shengjing are very lazy, and what is sung and said in dramas and storytelling has never been the same. I don’t shy away from being the emperor, even the emperors of other countries. I remember the first time I heard your name, it was in the pavilion beside the Zhuangyuan Bridge..."
Jun Zhi was surprised: "Huh?"
Bailijing smiled, and said slowly: "Before this, I had never heard of a storyteller. The gentleman beat the drum, and even said and gestured, saying that the emperor of the Western Qin Dynasty would always wear a ghost mask when he went out to battle, scaring the Turkic Tartars. Hearing the news, he was terrified. One day he was victorious, and the troops were withdrawn with money, and the men and horses were exhausted. They camped in a village, and saw a peasant girl washing clothes by the river. He was so frightened that he threw his clothes and fled, and the water splashed all over Emperor Xiqin's body."
The smile on the corner of Jun Zhi's lips widened without interrupting her: "The Great Emperor Xiqin said in his heart, you peasant girl are so courageous that I don't even pay attention to you. That night, the peasant girl's parents and relatives, Bind the peasant girl and personally send her to the tent of the Great Emperor of West Qin, saying over and over again that the little girl has eyes but does not know Mount Tai, and now she is tied up and let the Emperor of West Qin dispose of her. If she wants to be killed or cut to pieces, the little girl's family has no complaints."
Speaking of this, Bai Lijing stopped talking.
Jun Zhi seemed to be interested, and asked, "And then?"
Bai Lijing said: "Then, the gentleman said that when the night was windy and rainy, there was a tendency of mountain rain in the tent of the Great Emperor of Western Qin. Can you guess whether it is wind and rain or cloud and rain? Boom—Mr. beat the drum and said with a smile , If you want to know what will happen next time, please listen to the next chapter, and I will explain it to you in detail next time! I am so anxious, it is rare to go out of the palace once, which time will it be next time? I hurriedly asked Mr. Mr. turned around and saw He and I eavesdropping under the pavilion, and saw that I was asking a straightforward question, and said, children are not allowed to listen to adults' stories! I refused to accept it, and neither did He. He asked first, what happened in the end? Is that girl killed? I asked, yes, the mask of Emperor Xiqin hasn’t been removed yet, does he look good?”
"There are a lot of people laughing around. Mr. Storyteller was helpless when we asked him, and he told us impatiently, he was killed, he was killed, the Great Emperor Xiqin is more terrifying than ghosts, he will eat that girl, children, don't listen to books , Otherwise, Emperor Xiqin will eat you too! Do you know why Emperor Xiqin wears a mask? He is too ugly to see people!"
"Then, one day I saw the third and fourth younger sisters playing, saying that they could marry the Emperor Xiqin when they grow up, that he is a great hero, etc., so I hurried forward and told them, no, no, they will be eaten It's gone, the Great Emperor Xiqin is too ugly, you must not do stupid things..."
"Heh..." Jun Zhi smiled sullenly.
A small story has been told for a long time, and there are many things wrong and nonsense in the story, but her tone is extraordinarily cheerful, as if she deliberately made him happy.
Seeing that she had finished speaking, Jun Zhi commented: "Jing'er is giving up her life to feed a tiger, her courage is commendable."
Bai Lijing sighed, frowned and approached him, and asked: "I was only nine or ten years old at that time, and I didn't understand many things. That night, Emperor Xiqin brought that civilian girl into the camp. Killed, or killed? Is it wind and rain in the night tent, or cloud and rain? Hmm? Can Your Majesty tell me personally? The old events of ten years ago are still in my heart. "
Seriously teasing him by storytelling, Jun Zhi soaked in medicinal herbs relieved a lot of pain, he turned around and hugged her in his arms, sighed: "If there is a second Western Qin Emperor living in the mouth of Mr. Storyteller , That night, I must have eaten her, right? It was lonely on the march, and it was rare for anyone to comfort me. I didn’t know the joy of cloud and rain before, it’s a pity that I have such a beautiful face in this prosperous age.”
Half of Bailijing's body was almost submerged in the water, and when she heard the Emperor Daqin boasting without hesitation, she smiled softly: "So, why do you need to worry about your majesty, I will be able to see what your majesty looks like at that time I have already seen the appearance of one or two years old."
Time will never come back, but fortunately he and she have a child, and all the appearances of him that she has never seen may be glimpsed in the child. This is the wonder of blood relatives.
"Well, only Qing'er can get some of my color, I am very satisfied." Jun Zhi acquiesced, then gently squeezed Bai Lijing's chin and said: "Little lunatic, I want to see what you looked like when you were young. When I was nine or ten years old, I listened to those bastard stories, and I kept asking, but when I was twelve or thirteen years old, I started to love each other. Where can I find those years I missed?"
"So..." Baili Jing squinted at him without avoiding it.
See through him at a glance.
Jun Zhi kissed her lips with a smile, and his smile added color, and the mountains and rivers were overwhelmed, with tenderness between his lips and teeth: "So, I want to get better soon, and have a daughter, like the daughter of my little lunatic." , let me love and hate my daughter."
"What if... my daughter also looks like the Great Emperor of West Qin?" Baili Jing sucked his lips, adding fuel and vinegar not lightly or seriously.
"..." Jun Zhi thought about it seriously, "With my prosperous beauty, my daughter looks like me, so it shouldn't be too bad."
Such a prosperous beauty...
The empress had been lingering for a while, when suddenly someone came in to report that something had happened to the crown prince, and Bai Lijing's body couldn't stop shaking.
However, Junzhi was halfway through the medicine bath and was drowsy. Bailijing was afraid that he would be worried, so she didn't dare to disturb him, so she quietly backed out.
Something happened to Jun Qing again, and the cause was the nine-linked and seven-handed diagram in the brocade box.It was obviously tested to be non-toxic and harmless, Fanhua saw that Jun Qing really liked it, so he gave it to him to play with.
Unexpectedly, just a moment after touching them, rashes appeared on Jun Qing's hands and body. The rash developed rapidly and festered. He cried out in pain, scaring Fanhua and others half to death.
"Your Majesty, the King of Medicine happened to enter the palace just now, and the crown prince is now being treated by the King of Medicine..." Seeing that Bai Lijing was walking in a hurry, and she was unwilling to change her wet robe, she hurriedly advised .
Although persuasion is persuasion, I can't guarantee that nothing will happen. This persuasion has no effect.
Bai Lijing pursed her lips and did not say a word. After entering the side hall of the Qingxin Hall, she saw that the North County Medicine King was here, and the dust had not been washed away, so she hurriedly treated Jun Qing.
"Your Majesty!" Fanhua was terrified, her eyes were red, since she returned to Chang'an City, she had never lost her composure, "Obviously...that box..."
Fanhua couldn't speak, and only blamed herself. Seeing Jun Qing like that, she felt distressed and uncomfortable.
Hearing Fanhua's call, the Beijun Medicine King turned around and gave the written prescription to the palace servants, asking them to grab the medicine, and he did not forget to appease the crazy Bailijing: "This poison is very evil, it's a bit like Yan Shi's poison." It is harmless to adults, it is only effective on children, the younger the child, the easier it is to be poisoned, if an ordinary child would be poisoned as soon as they touched it, it would probably kill them in less than two hours."
Bailijing's breathing gradually became heavy following Beijun Yaowang's description, and her expression became more and more dignified.
Beijun Yaowang said: "However, Jun Qing laid a good foundation at the bottom of the Ming Valley. Even though he has been exposed to poison, it just came out immediately. These rashes look terrible, and they burn all over the body. In fact, it is a good thing. The poison has never entered the body. In time It will disappear, don't panic."
"Young Master, that old lady of the Empress Dowager really wants to harm Xiao Jun!" Fanhua ruthlessly pinched the Qiqiaotu to pieces, and said through gritted teeth, "I'll settle the score with her!"
Regardless of the grievances or grievances of Beijun, the king of medicine only said what he knew: "Throw the nine-linked and seven-skilled diagrams into the fire and burn them, and the poison will be destroyed."
Bai Lijing listened to them talking, looked at the tear stains on Jun Qing's face and the festering rash on his fine skin, saw him sobbing on the couch, stretched out his arms to be hugged by her, but because he was in the process of diagnosis and treatment I can't do whatever I want... All the thoughts I had just been lingering by the bathtub disappeared!
The fingers were tightened more and more tightly in the sleeves, Bailijing didn't want to bear it for a moment, couldn't bear it for a moment!
After what happened with Bai Lu and Cao Ankang, Bai Yao has been emptied of power, leaving nothing but powerlessness. Bai Lijing originally wanted to calm things down, and I will not offend anyone. Forever, but what kind of evil spirit Bai Yao is reincarnated? !
She, Bailijing, retreated again and again, but Bai Yao still reached out to her true love, how could she remain calm and indifferent? !
Thank you Bai Yao, there is no cure for Jun Zhi being brought into this situation, she begged the medicine king to come to Beijing, just in time to save Jun Qing's life.If it was diagnosed and treated by an ordinary imperial physician, who would be able to conclude that Jun Qing would survive today?
Thank you Bai Yao for your patience, the poisoner never cares about the consequences, even if today's plan fails, where will he do it next time?The wicked are always dormant in the dark, and every day they live, they will be tortured for a day, so that they can't predict when, where, year and month they will lose their loved ones!
This crime should be punished!
"Young master..." Fanhua also noticed that Baili Jing's expression was wrong, and said in a low voice, "That old woman is too rampant after something like this happened, young master, I'd better tell His Majesty..."
Bailijing was sitting on the couch, stroking Junqing's head with one hand, and hearing Fanhua's words, she finally said quietly: "Your Majesty has not been in good health for the past two days, so don't bother him."
"But..." Fanhua was furious, but the opponent was not Bailu, Cao Ankang and others, but His Majesty's biological mother. Could it be possible that the empress will bear it with humiliation?Otherwise, as long as the Queen Mother is moved, how can I explain to His Majesty later?
Fanhua is angry again, wishing to get rid of it quickly, but that person's identity is a protective talisman, after such a vicious hand, he is obviously still confident!
In the evening, the sky was not yet completely dark, it was a rare sunny day, and there was even a sunset glow in the west.
Bai Lijing looked out of the window, and suddenly said: "Jun Qing troubles the medicine king to take care of it, I will go out to do some errands and come back."
A woman who is already a mother, no matter how young she is, has the firmness in her eyes that cannot be resisted. Beijun Yaowang nodded. He did not participate in these grievances, but sighed silently.
The past events of many years ago, the evil owed by anyone, will eventually be repaid.Ten years, 20 years, there will be a report.
……
Cining Palace.
Someone came in and spread the news, saying that the Empress Empress came here uninvited, and she brought a large team of people with her.
During the day, the Queen Mother also attended Bai Ye and Bailirou's wedding ceremony, and she is still dressed in a phoenix robe, showing great demeanor.
"Let her in." Hearing the news, the Empress Dowager Bai sat on the phoenix seat as before, and she didn't stop her, she didn't even feel angry and puzzled, she let Bailijing in, just like the black armor army broke in last time. The situation of strict obstruction is completely different.
Even, Queen Mother Bai's generous welcome gesture seemed to have expected Baili Jing to come, and she had been waiting for her for a long time.
"I just saw it at the wedding ceremony in the daytime, and it was lively for a while. This time the empress is here, is it because I can't invite the Ai family to attend the funeral? If it is a major event of the national funeral, the Ai family is happy to attend." The Queen Mother Bai raised the corners of her lips, describing her cleanliness. The words were chaotic, merciless, and cursed every sentence, as if they had expected what was going to happen.
Bai Lijing stepped into the hall, and looked coldly at the Empress Dowager who was sitting on the phoenix seat. Since Mingren didn't speak in secret, and the Empress Dowager already knew why she came, she would simply be straightforward.
Bai Lijing didn't answer what the Empress Dowager said, but asked instead: "Has the Empress Dowager ever tasted the cold palace?"
"..." Empress Dowager Bai was slightly taken aback, Bai Lijing's question was icy cold, and it sounded particularly cold in the empty hall.
Bai Lijing didn't need her to answer, and continued: "The empress dowager of the Qin Dynasty was born noble, maybe she has never lived a humble life, right? But since she is a woman in the palace, she naturally knows what the meaning of the cold palace is. A woman in the cold palace, They will live a miserable life day by day, starving and freezing, and it is such a cold day. The fire is removed, and the leftovers are cold... They are not as good as animals. However, they may be better than animals, at least they can’t make her hungry To die, to freeze to death, to hang on to her forever..."
Saying that, Bai Lijing looked outside the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and the twilight was fading little by little, and said coldly: "From today on, the Palace of Compassion and Ning will be a cold palace, I will let you taste it, called every day should not, It's a bad feeling. When the time comes, the Empress Dowager will no longer be as confident as she is now. Maybe in order to survive, the Empress Dowager will still beg for mercy. I'm waiting for that day. Come!"
There is no need to put on a stance of a big fight, and there is no need for the twists and turns when dealing with Bai Lu to be well-founded. As soon as Bai Lijing finished speaking, a group of guards rushed in and "bang" all the doors and windows of the Compassionate Ning Palace in a uniform manner. They fell on the ground and were crucified one by one.
With so many people, the sound of hammering nails reverberated in Ci Ning Palace, and hit the Empress Dowager's heart again and again.
"What do you want to do!" The Empress Dowager Bai stared angrily, caught off guard, "Your son is dead! You want to attack Ai's family?! You are treasonous! You are crazy!"
Empress Dowager Bai never expected to know all kinds of tortures in the deep palace, even at her young age.How to make a person live in fear and let the light disappear from her eyes bit by bit, the queen obviously knows this well.
Hearing the Empress Dowager mentioned Jun Qing, Bai Lijing curled her lips, and finally looked at her again: "Empress Dowager, take a good look at this sunset, and take a good look at this sporadic sunlight. In the next few decades, the Empress Dowager may not be able to see it." .Daily with the dark night, who knows if there are any ghosts in the dark night to claim their lives? After all, only the queen mother knows how much blood is on the hands of the queen mother."
The doors and windows were sealed, and the light disappeared bit by bit. Those people had no intention of stopping at all, and no one came to stop them outside. Empress Dowager Bai suddenly trembled: "You, you dare to touch the things in the Palace of Compassion, and the Ai Family. Let the emperor come to see me! The Ai family is the emperor's biological mother! How dare you be so presumptuous!"
Bai Lijing sneered, and looked mockingly at the panic-stricken Queen Mother Bai: "Now I think of your majesty? Empress Dowager, you will bear the sins you have made yourself. Your son will not come, he has been killed by you So, soaked in the medicine pool, dumb, covered in poison, he can't even care about himself, let alone save you."
"You want to rebel?! You bastard who confuses the king's heart! Whose power are you relying on! Bai Yue! The Ai family knew that his daughter would not be a good guy!" The Queen Mother saw that the last door was in Bailijing. Behind him, there was still light through the last window, and all the other doors and windows were sealed.
The Compassionate Ning Palace suddenly turned into a dark prison, the candles were not lit, and there seemed to be countless black shadows attacking her in the dark.
Empress Dowager Bai left the Phoenix seat in horror, and ran towards Bai Lijing, facing the light of the door.
Bai Lijing grabbed the Empress Dowager's wrist, ruthlessly, not allowing her to take a step forward, staring at the Empress Dowager with icy eyes: "Who is the Empress Dowager relying on? Injure him in the name of mother, let him listen to your arrangement, everything is up to you, give you private army, give you power, give you honor and favor for a lifetime! In the end, he was poisoned with a bowl of poison, ruined half of his life, and ended up alive It would be better to die! Even so, he never thought of letting you die, defending you everywhere, letting you continue to act recklessly, and planning to deal with his son! How could he have expected such an ending for his son who survived so hard? ? Are you worthy to be a mother? Are you worthy!"
"Shut up!" The Empress Dowager Bai was forced to be furious, her voice was hoarse, and she roared from the bottom of her heart, "You don't need to teach Aijia a lesson! His life was given by Aijia! He should listen to Aijia! Even if it is Die, he should be obedient! What qualifications do you have to teach Aijia a lesson?! He has been wronged, you let him come to Aijia to confront him!"
Bailijing sneered, and said lightly and floatingly, full of contempt: "The reason why you want to see him is because he is here, and you won't let you die. You know how to bully him too well. A formidable character, he was forced to be unable to fight back by the queen mother. But the queen mother did not expect that I am different from him. I have no feelings for you. I will not let my son fall into your hands again. Your Majesty! Go hand, I will! The sins he cannot bear, I will bear! Isn’t it like imprisoning the queen mother and treating her as a sinner? The queen mother will not die, so what karma is she afraid of? If there is karma in this world, it will be discussed in the next life. In this life, the queen mother will bear it."
Bai Lijing suddenly shook her hand, and the Empress Dowager Ren fell to the ground. She looked around at the kneeling palace servants, and said in a deep voice: "You guys keep watch day and night, don't let the Empress Dowager suffer any damage. My Palace wants the Empress Dowager to live a long life. This Palace of Compassion and Ning enjoys a lifetime of happiness. The last window should also be sealed, otherwise how can it be said that the sun cannot be seen?"
"Yes! Empress Dowager!" The answer was very crisp, and someone did it as soon as he said it, and there was another dull sound of nails being hammered into the wood.
"How dare you...how dare you...Bai Jing!" The Queen Mother fell to the ground, her long nails were broken, and blood flowed out from her fingertips.
But the sunlight was blocked, and the wound could not be seen clearly. The Empress Dowager Bai raised her hand and shouted sharply at Bailijing's back: "You are just trying to avenge Yan Ran! Don't use the emperor as an excuse! If your son is not dead , What crime do you use against Aijia! Let Jun Zhi come to see Aijia!"
She kept saying that she never gave in. The integrity of the Empress Dowager Bai's family deeply affected Bai Lu. Until her death, Bai Lu was still thinking about how to get revenge on Bai Lijing.
Baili Jing, who has dealt with even orphans and widows, wanted Bai Lu to die at the beginning, but it was because she uttered evil words to Jun, and her mouth was full of ruthless revenge. This trouble is more pleasant in death than in life. Otherwise, Bai Lu would not be able to She is an abandoned pawn, whether she is dead or not, does not affect her cooperation with the Bai family in the slightest.
At this time, when Queen Mother Bai mentioned Yan Ran, Bai Lijing's heart sank suddenly, and the smile on her lips slowly spread. She turned her head, squinted her eyes and stared down at Queen Mother Bai, and asked coldly: "Yeah, even if it's for Yan Ran, shouldn't you pay for your life? One corpse and two lives, how many years have you owed, you should pay it back. I didn't wrong you, and I didn't want your life. I'll pay for it." I want to watch you, tortured day by day! The 20-year-old Yan Ran died at your hands, and the 20-year-old me came back to claim my life. This is what you think of karma, Your retribution."
The last door and window were crucified, the last door was closed, and the Compassion Ning Palace became a pitch-black hell in an instant.
Empress Dowager Bai slapped the door and yelled, Baili Jing stood with her back to the door and stood on the high steps overlooking the huge Qin Palace. At sunset, jackdaws flew by in groups, showing no sign of snow , and there is no blue sky and white sun, it's just cold to the bone.
The Empress Dowager inside the door was still calling for the emperor to come and see her.
Bailijing walked down the steps without looking back, she knew in her heart that even if the queen mother was imprisoned and committed a crime of treason, this was far from their end.
……
After many days, the rash on Jun Qing's body gradually subsided. Although he suffered a lot, his life was safe in the end.
Beijun Yaowang remixed the medicine for Jun Zhi, and he had a slight complexion. After staying in the palace for a long time, he would inevitably meet Bai Yue frequently.
It's just that Junzhi never asked about the Compassionate Palace.
No one mentioned the change of the Compassionate Palace.
The Bai family is in the hands of Bai Ye, Bai Ye is newly married and does not often participate in court affairs, and the other three major families rarely pay respects to the Queen Mother, so the matter of the Queen Mother being imprisoned in the Palace of Compassion and Peace seems to have become a secret in the palace. No one dared to mention it.
But Jun Zhi is different, he is the Emperor of Qin, Bai Lijing doesn't believe that he has never heard the news, he probably already knew it.Did he not mention it because he pampered her, or did he already have other plans?
Jun Zhi would indulge her when treating anyone, but the birth mother, the Empress Dowager Bai, might have to say something else. After all, even the Empress Dowager Bai herself once said that the emperor would go to see her, and this matter would turn around.
In the blink of an eye, the winter solstice, the imperial court was on holiday, and there was an atmosphere of a new year in the palace. Fanhua suddenly led a young eunuch to report: "Your Majesty, this person said that the Empress Dowager wants to see her and wants to say a few words to her."
The Empress Dowager has been in the cold palace for more than ten days. I heard that she has a very hard temper. She didn't ask for a word, but asked her Majesty to come to see her. Apart from that, there was nothing but cursing.
Now that she only said that she wanted to see her, Bailijing was very puzzled.
The little eunuch was obviously influenced by the empress dowager's trend, and said tremblingly on the ground: "The empress dowager, the empress dowager said, there are a few words you want to say to the emperor, please tell the empress dowager, the empress dowager will give an explanation to the empress dowager for all the grievances and grievances in the past."
Does this mean that she must go?Or do you want to use this to get Jun Zhi to meet her?After more than ten days of torture in the cold palace, the majestic Queen Mother Bai was subdued?
There was no update last week, last week, [this Thursday night] make up an update, the number of words should not be many.Suddenly, I found that Xiaoxiang’s updated chapters can no longer be modified, so I can no longer catch bugs if there are typos or the like, and I will die of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Dear friends, just take a look.
