Chapter 82

The setting sun outside the hall is about to set.There are faint strands of traces scattered into the carved and gold window lattices.

Su Yan clasped Empress Dowager Jiang's hand, her mind went blank, and every second in the silent confrontation was long and endless.

The front line of life and death is between advance and retreat.

Empress Dowager Jiang uttered intermittent syllables, and for a moment, Su Yan almost stopped, hesitated, but heard the bead curtain suddenly jingle.

She turned her head suddenly, and Aunt He Lu stood outside the curtain with a gloomy expression, looking at her quietly.

It was unusually quiet, without any movement at all, as if it knew everything.

But after Su Yan's gaze shifted to the left, all this weirdness seemed insignificant.

Unknowingly, there was an extra person beside He Lu, who pulled out a long figure in the solemn and empty hall.

Standing with his back to the light, King Changle walked slowly, with heavy steps.With every step he took, Su Yan's heart beat faster and she tried her best to calm down.

He is the most beloved youngest son of Empress Dowager Jiang, how can he let himself go?After all, this catastrophe cannot be escaped.

King Changle wore a purple green robe, and his white eyes were menacing. Su Yan could feel the murderous aura around him getting stronger.

"Ye'er..." Empress Dowager Jiang finally spat out these two words, as if grasping at the last straw.

The sachet fell to the ground quietly, so Su Yan let go of her hand and met his scrutiny in despair, let's make a break for today.

A strong palm grabbed Su Yan's shoulder, and with a little force, she slowly closed her eyes.But a moment later, the hand actually moved down, wrapping around her slender waist.

"Your honorable empress dowager, should you be happy for this king? It is well known that you love your second son, so it should be a happy event for the most beloved woman of the emperor's brother to have this king's child." King Changle held her hand Empress Dowager Jiang's eyes were full of unbelievable despair and fear, she wanted to withdraw her hand, but King Changle didn't let it go, he bullied him and continued, "Why don't you make an order immediately and give her to me before you die! "

"Evil... Obstacle..." Empress Dowager Jiang's cloudy eyes trembled, and she fell back on the couch with a bang.

King Changle smiled lowly, his side face looked like a hell Shura in the dark, with the desire to destroy, "Evil obstacles? Who has too many evil obstacles! I'm afraid you don't even dare to die now, there are too many people killed by you in the underground Wrong soul, waiting to ask for your life, you dare not, are you afraid? Because the glory and wealth you got from killing my biological mother will be destroyed in the hands of his son. Tell me, is fate fair? !"

Everything happened too suddenly, Su Yan let him hold her, or it couldn't be called holding her at all, like a hostage being held hostage, the hand on her belly was too strong, betraying his composure and trying to hide it hate.

Empress Dowager Jiang's limbs gradually stiffened, only her throat was rustling, the light shining from her eyes had dimmed, and the oil was exhausted.

But why does King Changle hate Queen Mother Jiang, who hates her the most?These words are like swords and swords, and they will kill people.

Even Su Yan was forced out of breath by him.

"And your son's world, I will definitely take away everything that should belong to me."

After the words fell, Empress Dowager Jiang opened her eyes wide, looking at the person in front of her, but there was no more movement.

She died, as King Changle said, she will die with peace in her eyes.

There was a cramping pain in her abdomen, and Su Yan sat on the ground paralyzed, gasping for breath.

"All of this is a trap set by you, isn't it?" She looked at the cold corpse on the couch, and tremblingly said.

King Changle was noncommittal, Su Yan propped herself up, trying to suppress her anger, "Why? Why do you want to hurt me like this!"

"Your Majesty, do you know what's hidden? Concubine Yu and Empress Dowager Jiang gave birth at the same time, but Concubine Yu died of illness after giving birth to a stillborn baby. It was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster." He Lu helped her up, staring at her and said, "Empress Dowager Jiang is afraid of Yu. The concubine Shengchong staged a plan of exchanging the civet cat for the prince, strangled the princess she gave birth to, and exchanged the prince born by Concubine Yu. The servants belong to the concubine Yu's wife."

Su Yan was stunned, never expecting that the seemingly benevolent Queen Mother Jiang would do such a cruel thing.

There was a long silence in the hall.

"Dare to ask the lord, where did I have a grudge against you, and you want you to use me like this to force me to kill someone? What does your grievances have to do with me!" Su Yan lowered her voice, and Changle King moved from the bed. Kai, the thick hatred was suppressed by him, and he turned to smile evilly, "You are pregnant with the flesh and blood of this king, how can this king be willing to hurt you?"

Su Yan shook off the hand that brushed his cheek, "It was just a lie, this child has nothing to do with you."

"Then you are my king's woman." He gestured to He Lu with his eyes, and pushed Su Yan out of the door, "Whether you admit it or not, we are all in the same boat. When we leave the palace gate, everything will be done as I said. do."

"You are a devil at all..." Su Yan bit her lip, under his coercion, although she was extremely unwilling, she still cared about her wealth and life.

"This king has always believed that you and I are like-minded, and we are both people who can do whatever it takes to get revenge."

Su Yan waved away the lotus, and pushed open the door of the palace with heavy steps. She looked back with a pale face, "I hate you."

When she was outside the hall, she raised her sleeve to cover the glare of the twilight, as if she heard him say behind her, then just hate it.

Then hate it, how ridiculous!
"The Empress Dowager is critically ill, please pass on to Imperial Physician Hu!" He Lu's anxious, weeping voice came, and the maids of the Empress hurriedly shuttled back and forth.

It will fall with the setting sun and be buried in the loess forever.

Just like this nine-fold palace, with silver tiles and golden lacquer, but there are graves everywhere, who would care about an extra grievance that cannot be buried?

She never thought that today, stepping into the gate of the Ci Ning palace, taking one step forward, would be overwhelming.

Life and death, love and debt, cannot be controlled by this body.

Walking out of the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, I saw a familiar tall and straight figure about to enter in the distance.

Suddenly, Su Yan's heart felt sour, and she didn't care about others, she stepped forward quickly, "Lord Ning, don't go in!"

When Ning Wenyuan turned his head, Su Yan's frightened face came into view.

"The Queen Mother announces my audience and asks the prince about his studies. I'm sorry I can't obey." He distanced himself and saluted her respectfully like an ordinary courtier.

He has a jade face and a blue shirt, and his posture is alienated. Ning Wulang, who rode his horse in the capital, has become an important minister in the inner court.

The unrestrained unrestrainedness that belonged to when he was young, converged at the corners of his eyes and brows, and turned into today's tranquility.

It seems that all the affection in the past has long since ceased to exist.

Ning Wenyuan's estrangement, like the last big rock, crushed Su Yan's defense line that was already on the verge of collapse.

Su Yan swallowed the tears in her eyes, and returned to her original proud expression, "The Empress Dowager is critically ill, and King Changle is taking care of him. I advise Lord Ning not to act rashly."

The moment they passed by, Su Yan couldn't see, Ning Wenyuan's eyes were filled with an indelible thickness.

The right hand clenched into a fist in the sleeve, and then let go, allowing Su Yan to walk away.

He turned back silently, staring at the direction in which she left, but there was only fragrance left without a trace.

Empress Dowager Jiang passed away, and the emperor, who was far away from the Zen ceremony, had to return to the palace early.

After Su Yan returned to the palace, she said she couldn't afford it, so she closed the door and saw no guests.Huo Yu naturally took this opportunity to openly declare that Rui Zhaoyi's fetal gas was damaged due to excessive grief, and he was more dedicated to protecting the fetus.

Looking at the swaying curtain above her head, Su Yan couldn't sleep on both sides. After Duan Zhaoling returned to the palace yesterday, there was no news from Kunyuan Palace.

The queen mother's funeral ceremony was carried out quietly, but she didn't know if she could hide it this time.

Changle Wang Senran's eyes became her lingering nightmare.

After the Empress Dowager was buried, the princes of all ethnic groups stayed in Beijing to observe the funeral for seven days. During the mourning period, Concubine Shu summoned all the concubines to listen to the matter.

In order not to arouse suspicion, Su Yan pretended to be calm and went to Cuizhi Palace.

When he was about to enter the palace gate, Lin Qingqing came with Princess Anle and shook his head at her outside the gate. Su Yan didn't know why, but she also fell in love with her.

Today, the young lords of the harem gathered and sat down, and saw Duan Zhaoling stepping in and taking the seat.

Su Yan raised her eyes and saw that he looked very tired, his figure was a little thinner due to the bright yellow brocade. Concubine Shu offered tea, and he held his forehead, and couldn't help coughing a few times.

"Your Majesty is suffering from the wind and cold outside, and I wish you mourning. Don't be too sad." Concubine Shu had a faintly sad face. Duan Zhaoling looked around, facing Su Yan from a distance, and said lightly, "My body is fine. My mother died too suddenly. It's really unfilial for this son to die too late."

With tears in her almond eyes, Su Yan got down from her seat to salute, and said sadly, "The Empress Dowager asked my concubine to serve Your Majesty well, but my concubine was too careless and did not call the imperial doctor in time before leaving, so the illness was delayed." While speaking, Su Yan Yan was already in tears, "The Empress Dowager has always treated her courtiers and concubines very well, I don't want this farewell to be an eternal farewell..."

Duan Zhaoling got up from the bed and helped her up, wiped away her tears, and took her hand to sit back, "Don't blame yourself, you have done your best, I understand."

Lin Qingqing pushed An Le lightly, and the little man with pink make-up and jade came up to Duan Zhaoling, and said in a childish voice, "An Le gave the jade doll bestowed by the emperor's grandmother to the emperor. The emperor's grandmother is in the sky, and she will definitely bless you Royal Father and Anle."

Duan Zhaoling brushed her hair softly for a long time, "An Le is right, come and let my father hug me."

An Le turned her head and stretched out her hand, "An Le wants to be hugged by Lady Zhaoyi."

Su Yan was obviously a little surprised. Under Duan Zhaoling's loving eyes, she had no choice but to hug An Le, the little man hugged her neck, leaned his face towards her, and whispered in her ear with the smallest voice, "The concubine mother said, Be careful, Aunt Cui."

Su Yan was startled, then lowered her head, An Lefu had another innocent expression, looked around, no one heard her.

She slowly hugged Anle tightly, and saw Lin Qingqing nodded slightly.

Just when the whole room was filled with sorrow, Cui Shangyi suddenly heard a point from the side, "Forgive me for asking too much, when did Lady Zhaoyi leave the Palace of Compassion and Peace? And when did you know that the Empress Dowager died of illness?"

Su Yan's heart sank, and according to what the King of Changle had already instructed, "I returned to my palace at three o'clock, and it took about half an hour to hear the report from the palace servants. I hurriedly went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning in grief. , after lighting the lamp, Aunt He Lu is waiting nearby."

Duan Zhaoling listened carefully, Su Yan asked blankly, "But what did the concubine do wrong? Why did Aunt Cui come here to ask?"

Duan Zhaoling stroked the back of her hand, "It's nothing, Mingzhu just ask."

Cui Shangyi hastily apologized, "I also ask your mother to forgive me."

Su Yan sneered and said nothing, hugged An Le to herself, and ignored her.

Concubine Shu gave orders to the various palaces and arrangements for the vigil during the mourning period. Duan Zhaoling coughed intermittently for a few times, while Su Yan kept cuddling beside him and beating his back. The cold temperature from the palm of his hand could feel his exhaustion and discomfort.
