Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 651 The Grand Finale (18)
"Then let's say..."

Ji Chonglian stared blankly, then suddenly turned to look at Pei Yan.

The emperor has only four sons, two sons are dead, and one son is imprisoned, so the rest is the little prince born by the imperial concubine.

"Yes, I am afraid that the imperial edict for the establishment of the crown prince will be announced within two days."

Pei Yan nodded, but there was no joy on his face, so he just pulled Ji Chonglian to sit down, and said in a deep voice: "After experiencing this accident, the emperor is exhausted physically and mentally. Not far away."

"Then the crown prince will be enthroned shortly after his canonization?"

Ji Chonglian covered her lips in surprise. The little prince is only seven years old now, and he is still an ignorant child. At such a young age, he will sit on the throne of the emperor. Can he sit firmly?

However, such things have happened in the past dynasties. The emperor is a big traveler, and the prince is young, so he will definitely appoint a few ministers who care for his life.

"I'm afraid so."

Pei Yan nodded, but his face was solemn, "But the emperor also gave the imperial concubine the conditions to choose!"

"Conditions?" Ji Zhonglian's heart stopped, and he had a bad premonition, "What do you mean?"

"Keep the son and leave the mother!"

When Pei Yan said this word by word, Ji Chonglian's eyes widened in horror.

Does the emperor want the imperial concubine to die before helping the little prince to the throne?

But why?

They were so loving in the past, how could they kill each other in the blink of an eye?

Ji Chonglian clutched the front of her shirt, and felt a little difficult to breathe for a while.

"The emperor's time is running out, and the imperial concubine is bound to make a decision within today."

Pei Yan held Ji Chonglian's hand tightly, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid you need to tell the princess about this matter, if she still wants to see the imperial concubine again, she has to enter the palace today!"

"Ayan, how did it become like this?"

Ji Chonglian cried and fell into Pei Yan's arms. This not only meant the death of a life, but also witnessed the indifference of the imperial power. The person next to her pillow in the past was now slashing at her with a knife. What do you think, is this the sorrow of power, or the desolation of the world?

"The emperor has scruples about his relatives. If after a hundred years, the prince is controlled by the queen mother, then what is Li's country?" Pei Yan sighed deeply, "The emperor is taking precautions to prevent today's Empress Shi The tragedy will repeat itself!"

"Can't you think of a way to save the empress?"

Ji Chonglian raised her eyes to look at Pei Yan, there was still a drop of water hanging on her eyelashes, which he gently wiped away with her hand, "Saving the empress, that is the crime of deceiving the emperor, betraying the emperor, and punishing the nine clans, who would dare to do that ?” Paused, and said: “Perhaps the empress has already made a decision in her heart!”

What bullshit decision?
Even if it is death, you have to die with a smile, do you want to die voluntarily?

Ji Chonglian only felt a puff of breath in her heart, which was extremely uncomfortable.

The empress is gone, and now even the imperial concubine is forced to die righteously. The two most powerful women in the harem have fallen one after another. Isn't the emperor afraid of the words of the people all over the world?
Ji Chonglian told Princess Minfu about this, and she cried out of control as expected, and was about to enter the palace immediately.

In order to fear Princess Minfu losing control of her emotions, Ji Chonglian thought about it and went to the palace with her, maybe this side of the imperial concubine is about to end forever!

The Yongfu Palace is already very cold at the moment, the emperor doesn't even use the guards, because he is not afraid of the imperial concubine escaping at all, perhaps he has already anticipated the result before making this choice.

God's heart is unpredictable!

Similarly, the emperor knew very well what the imperial concubine wanted.

Ji Chonglian accompanied Princess Minfu all the way into Yongfu Palace, and was told by the palace maid that the imperial concubine is now in the back garden, and they rushed to the back garden without stopping.

The weather is cold and cold in winter, and there is still snow piled up on the bluestone road, and there is no palace man to clean it, but it is not difficult to see that someone has already stepped on the snow one after another, extending forward.

The imperial concubine is standing at the end of the path. There is a spacious lawn, but at the moment it is covered with snow and looks like a vast expanse of whiteness. There used to be a swing frame there, but the rope has fallen off one side, and the swing board is half on it. On the snow, it looks lonely and depressed.

The imperial concubine stood there straight, looking into the distance, she was only wearing single clothes, not even a cloak.

"Miss!"

Princess Minfu held back the tears in her eyes, took off her satin cloak and put it on the shoulders of the imperial concubine, her clothes were already a little wet, I don't know how long she had been standing here.

The imperial concubine turned around numbly, her beautiful face was still the same, but because of the silence in her eyes, there was something more memorable.

Ji Chonglian stepped forward to salute, the imperial concubine held the corners of her lips stiffly, "Go back to the palace, it's quite cold here." She said while holding Princess Minfu's hand tightly and walked back slowly.

Ji Chonglian followed behind their sisters. Although the pace of the imperial concubine was slow, she was very firm. Her head was raised high, like an elegant swan, as if after this journey, what greeted her was not death, but A rebirth after liberation.

The little prince and the princess were not by the imperial concubine's side, which made her lose any scruples. Looking at the empty hall, she couldn't help but chuckled, "Pretty clothes and beautiful decorations, Yuyu Qionglou, beauty is easy to fade, and eventually it will become a withered bone." !"

"Your Majesty... Sister Wang..."

Princess Minfu fell to the side crying, unable to make a sound.

Ji Chonglian's eyes were slightly red, but she just stood there not knowing what to say.

Such a magnificent beauty, who could bear to watch her die?
"Silly girl, you don't have to be sad for me!"

The imperial concubine gently patted Princess Minfu on the back, and comforted: "For some reason, recently I often dream of the clouds in my hometown, the prairie of Gargan, and the rolling hills... Ever since I married After I gave it to the emperor, I have never seen such a beautiful scenery again, I want to go back, go back to my hometown!"

"Go back... woo... Let's go back together!"

Princess Minfu wiped away her tears, raised her head and held the imperial concubine's hand tightly, "Sister Wang, let's go back right away, I don't care what kind of concubine you are, as long as you go back, your father will protect us, no one else will hurt you at all! "

The imperial concubine smiled and shook her head, "I'm afraid my father won't welcome me back. I knew what he really wanted as early as the moment he sent me into Yan Wang's mansion. A deserted imperial concubine can give Xi What did Liang bring, his grandson will become the emperor of Daning!"

"Promise me!" The imperial concubine smiled lightly, "Take me back to Xiliang after I die. I don't want to be buried in the royal tomb. It's so cold and dark there. Scatter my ashes on the prairie of Gargan. Then I can look at my beautiful hometown year after year, day after day, and let me... sleep peacefully there!"
