A Thousand Hills

Chapter 380

When Princess Yongfu left Fengyi Palace, the soles of her feet were all empty, it didn't feel like she was stepping on the ground, but rather like she was stepping on cotton.When Princess Changtai saw this, she couldn't really ask Princess Yongfu to fall outside Fengyi Palace, she sighed in her heart, and held the arm of Prince Yongfu's hand.Although she was also very angry with this sister, she couldn't say a word.At this moment, the first emperor had just died, the spirit of Emperor Daxing was in Zhaode Palace, and Empress Xie had just died of her husband, how could he be in a good mood?If she has a good temper, it's okay to be casual, but at this moment, she is full of displeasure, and she still talks like this, it's strange that she has been ranked first by Empress Xie.

And this eldest sister, really, how dare she say anything.

Then what, seeing that there is no one in the mother clan today, it is easy to take it, what, how can this be said nonsense?
Princess Yongfu was also full of bitterness, and said to Princess Changtai, "Changtai, I was just talking casually."

Princess Changtai sighed, "How can you say such things casually. Sister, you have to be more careful in the future." When the late emperor was there, Empress Xie was easy to talk to, but now that the late emperor is gone, Empress Xie has shown her sharpness.These imperial princesses, their father was the most comfortable when he was the emperor, and when his brother became the emperor, he was still somewhat respectable. Now that they are all nephews who are the emperor, they have to restrain themselves.

Princess Yongfu is also a grandmother. Although she lost face in front of Empress Xie and Princess Changtai, she will not immediately make a fuss like she did when she was young. In fact, in these years, Princess Yongfu's face has also grown A lot thicker.Anyway, the son-in-law can't be the emperor, and the daughter-in-law has two sons and a daughter, and the relationship with the son-in-law is also good.Princess Yongfu didn't worry much about her daughter and son-in-law. What she worried about was her grandmother's funeral. She said to Princess Changtai, "She disagrees with her life and death. Is it true that the emperor's grandmother should be buried in the concubine's garden?"

Princess Changtai was also a little worried about this, but in the face of Empress Xie's strength, Princess Changtai couldn't help it for a while.Princess Changtai is a smart person, she vaguely understands that Empress Xie must declare her authority after the death of Empress Hu.After losing the first emperor, Empress Xie was about to be promoted to Empress Dowager Xie.However, being a queen mother is not the same as being a queen.In particular, the new monarch is not the flesh and blood of Empress Xie's direct relatives.At this time, Empress Xie needs to use the matter of Empress Dowager Hu and Guitai Concubine to let people know her authority.

Since Empress Xie wanted to use this matter to establish her prestige, it would not be easy for Empress Xie to change her mind.

He caught up with Princess Yongfu's imprudent speech and offended Empress Xie. Empress Xie became angry with Princess Yongfu. Naturally, Princess Changtai couldn't bring up the matter of Empress Hu and Noble Concubine Hu.

The two had no choice but to reply to Princess Wenkang truthfully, Princess Yongfu blamed herself, and said, "I didn't pay attention to say a few words."

Princess Wenkang was also helpless, and said to the niece, "Yongfu, now, it's not when your father was in power, you, you have to accept your temper."

Empress Xie has to follow the rules, and no one can do anything about it.

After all, Empress Shizu's will did not allow Hu to be the queen mother, and Empress Taizu did not leave a will when she was alive that she wanted Hu to be buried with him.If Mrs. Hu is the Empress Dowager, her status and status are right, it is logical to be buried with the Taizu, and now she has been reduced to the Empress Dowager. I have never heard of any concubine who can be buried with the emperor without special grace!Just like in the present world, concubine, concubine, concubine, concubine, etc., let you enter the ancestral grave is flattery, you still want to bury the grave with the male master, have such a big face?
Princess Changtai mentioned this to her husband in private. Li Xuan thought for a while and said, "The empress has held back her breath for many years. Today, she must let it go. The grandmother's matter is all about it with all her heart." .Fortunately, the old man didn't suffer much when he was alive."

Princess Changtai can do whatever she wants, the relationship between her and the Hu family is normal, but, Princess Changtai said, "I look at my mother, and I really hope that the great imperial concubine can be buried with the emperor. .”

Li Xuan shook his head, "This matter can't be done, the empress has taken the righteousness." I had to spare some time to persuade her mother in person, but Princess Wenkang couldn't be reconciled. Those concubines of the ancestor emperor were buried together in the concubine garden!Princess Wenkang thought about it, and she had to wait until the vassal kings came to the imperial capital to attend the funeral before bringing up this matter again.

All the vassals who came to the imperial capital are also well informed, not to mention such a big event as Hu Taihuang and Guitai Concubine.Knowing that Empress Xie was in a bad mood right now, everyone expressed their respect with winks.They also cried for their smaller brothers in front of the spirit. They were crying sincerely. Emperor Xiandi, you died too early. Once you leave, your mother-in-law will be in trouble!
After weeping for the late emperor, the feudal lords had a discussion and went to pay homage to Concubine Hu Taihuang and Guitai. Although thanking the empress for her strength, to be honest, Hu Taihuang and Guitai Concubine was the biological mother of Emperor Taizong. Grandmother, from childhood to adulthood, like King Jin, King Qi, King Chu, was no more favored than Crown Prince Mourning in the Palace of Mercy, and Empress Dowager Hu also valued her grandchildren very much.It is true that she prefers to mourn the prince, but it is not bad for other grandchildren.Now that the old lady has gone, her status has also been lowered, but she is also an elder, and they can't prevent Empress Xie from kowtowing in front of the coffin.

The old group of vassal kings collectively went to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager Hu. As for the affairs of the Empress Dowager Hu, what kind of specifications and where she was buried, they didn't plan to care about it.

When Princess Wenkang heard about this, she said with tears, "Mother always loves them for nothing." She made up her mind to entrust the joint burial of her biological mother and Taizu to the vassal kings.

King Jin said to his son with emotion, "Did you see that, stay on the front line in everything, so we can meet each other in the future." King Jin said that his grandmother made embarrassment to Empress Xie in every possible way, so it is no wonder that Empress Xie wanted to turn over the old score.

It is rare for the King of Jin to say something to keep a line. Speaking of which, before the King of Jin came to the Imperial Capital, Zhao Shiyu told him that he should not follow the rules when he came to the Imperial Capital. The most important thing is that he should not offend Thank you Queen.

King Jin hadn't even arrived in the imperial capital yet, and he knew about Empress Hu and his concubine on the way, how could he dare to offend Empress Xie.In fact, King Jin doubted whether Empress Xie had lost her mind.Otherwise, how can there be such a reason to deal with the old mother-in-law as soon as the husband dies.King Jin was a bit unconvinced about the first emperor's ascension to the throne, but after seeing Empress Xie's tricks today, he really thinks it's better for his younger brother to be emperor!
After going to pay homage to Empress Hu, the noble concubine, it was already late, and the princes and concubines went out of the palace to settle down first, and then went to Fengyi Palace to pay respects to Empress Xie on the second day. It's no big deal, now that we are old and old, let alone going together, there is no taboo.

Empress Xie sighed when she saw the princes, "I haven't seen you for ten years, I don't know if you are all right?"

Among the old group of vassal kings, King Jin was the leader. King Jin's eyes were still slightly red and swollen from yesterday, and he got up and said, "I'm fine, I just didn't expect, why did Your Majesty leave so early?" As he said that, he burst into tears. The King of Jin was really sad, and said, "The first emperor is five years younger than me. My useless old bones are still alive, but the first emperor has gone. The empress should have called us earlier. Come, I can see the late Emperor for the last time."

Empress Xie waved her hand, indicating that it would be good for King Jin to sit and talk, Empress Xie said, "When Emperor Xian was ill, he also thought about your uncles and uncles. He often told me about his childhood. Alright, King Qi’s poems are good. You, King Chu, are still worried that His Majesty will be bullied by me after I married His Majesty, aren’t you?”

These vassal kings are about the same age as Emperor Zhaoming, and they almost all studied together when they were young, so they have a deep affection.When Empress Xie mentioned it like this, the feudal lords thought that the events of their youth seemed to be in front of them, and they were all older than Emperor Zhaoming, so it was Emperor Zhaoming who went first.Thinking of the rivalry between the brothers in studying together, it seems like it was yesterday, but now it is different, and I can't help but shed tears.

It was Princess Chu who persuaded, "Your Majesty is benevolent, which is rare in ancient times. My Majesty's grief, I feel the same. But, Your Majesty still needs to take care of the phoenix body, don't be too sad. Otherwise, let the late emperor remember."

Empress Xie said, "Yes, let's all take care, the late Emperor is under the Nine Springs, watching us."

After finishing speaking, Empress Xie said, "I heard that the princes and concubines arrived yesterday. I'm not feeling well recently, and I see fewer people. I wonder if the journey will be smooth?"

Naturally, everyone agreed, and Empress Xie asked again that Ke had gone to pay homage to the late emperor's spirit, and then changed the subject, "Have the princes also paid homage to Empress Dowager Hu?"

Everyone's hearts sank, and they thought to themselves, could it be that Empress Xie wanted to find them.

King Jin deserves to be the head of the elder brothers of the late emperor. Although he knew that Empress Xie was powerful, Zhao Shiyu also gave him thousands of instructions before he came, so that he could not offend Empress Xie.However, as the eldest son of Emperor Taizong, King Jin also had his own temperament. Besides, he believed that there was nothing wrong with offering sacrifices to the emperor and concubine.Fortunately, the King of Jin also pays attention to the way of speaking now. He didn't raise his voice, but sighed first, and said, "Hey, we didn't know about the emperor and concubine until we arrived in the imperial capital. We must abide by it. We are thinking that after all, the empress dowager is the mother of the father and empress, our empress grandmother, the old man has gone, and out of love and propriety, we should all go to salute before the spirit."

After finishing speaking, although King Jin felt a little uneasy, he still glanced at Empress Xie.

No, Empress Xie didn't find out if he was wrong, but said, "Yes, I also said the same. Although the Empress Dowager Hu is not the queen's main palace, she has a seniority, and she should go to sacrifice. Love is not a bad thing. The first emperor valued love, and I also value love. However, love is important, and etiquette is more important. Our royal family has always been a model for the world. The world knows how I treat her However, the Great Imperial Concubine is the Great Imperial Concubine, not the Great Empress Dowager, let alone the Empress of the Taizu Emperor, as a concubine, how can she be in the same mausoleum as the Taizu Emperor! If this precedent is set now, it will be difficult After I die, I have to send the concubines of the late emperor to the mausoleum of the late emperor to be buried with the late emperor. Also, for the brothers and sisters of the emperor's sister-in-law, after a hundred years, it is not you who will be buried with the uncle and uncle, but the concubine ? Is there such a reason in the world?"

What can kings say?
Empress Xie's words were correct when the Ministry of Rites said.

Therefore, when Tai Huang Gui Tai Concubine asked to be buried with Tai Zu, the kings choked Empress Xie back before they could intercede.

Princess Wenkang knew about it, so she had no choice but to give up.

On the contrary, Jin Wangfei and Jin Wang said in private, "The empress is really sad for the late emperor. It looks like the empress has gray hair on her temples."

The King of Jin said, "That's so tiring." It is true that the King of Jin was saddened by Emperor Zhaoming's passing when he came to the imperial capital this time, but it is also true that he had some opinions on Empress Xie.It's not just about the Empress Dowager Hu.King Jin thought it was easy to understand Grand Concubine Hu, after all, Grand Concubine Hu and the Hu family had bothered Empress Xie a lot in the past.Empress Xie is not a saint, and now that she is in power, it is reasonable to be ashamed.What King Jin was dissatisfied with was the fact that his mother's family, the Zhao family, had attacked the noble.It was originally the mansion of the Duke of the State, but even if it was downgraded to the rank of nobility, it should also be the mansion of the Marquis, because Empress Xie is domineering, and the fifth son has soft ears, because the Zhao family stole the plum blossoms from the Wanmei Palace of Empress Xie. Son, made the Zhao family a fifth-rank general.Now the Zhao family dare not go out in the imperial capital, they feel ashamed!

Discussed with Jin Wangfei, "You said, the imperial grandmother has passed away, can we take mother to the feudal land?"

Concubine Jin said, "At first, the mothers and concubines were left behind to serve the empress dowager. Now that the empress dowager has passed away, it is time for us to take over our mothers and concubines to enjoy the family relationship."

The King of Jin snorted, "There are too many things that should be done, you don't know, I heard that the fifth daughter-in-law has already obtained the decree of the ancestors, and since she got it, she insisted not to take it out at the beginning, otherwise, the mother and concubine would have joined us in the feudal domain. It's gone." Jin Wang don't seem to have a rough temper, but these words are not bad.At the beginning, the imperial court kept the concubine, saying that it was for the concubine to serve her mother-in-law, the empress dowager.You know, only the empress dowager is served by the concubines, if it is the empress dowager, she is a concubine, not a serious mother-in-law, how can she be served by the empress dowagers.Therefore, King Jin was quite dissatisfied when he mentioned this matter.

Princess Jin persuaded him, "It's been a while now, what's the point of the prince bringing up old things again. The queen is also unhappy. You see, yesterday, the eldest princess just entrusted the princes. Today, the empress is speaking the truth." For those outside, first shut up the mouths of the princes. The queen has always been a sensible person. Let us not say anything about dissatisfaction. It is good that we can take the mother and concubine to the feudal land in peace. Otherwise, she will lose her temper again. But what should I do?"

The king of Jin sighed, "Why did you say that the fifth son married such a difficult person?" Sighing and sighing, the king of Jin suddenly had a heartbeat, and clapped his hands, "Stay free, please come over and ask Zi Zi Aunt also knows!"

Concubine Jin was also speechless about her husband's temperament, who would ask ghosts and gods whenever he was in distress.

Taking advantage of coming to the imperial capital, Princess Jin went to Fengyi Palace to sit with a few sister-in-laws when she was free, to comfort the queen, and so on.Princess Jin also met her natal family, and the old Yongding Hou said, "Don't disobey the queen."

Concubine Jin also asked her son. During these years in the imperial capital, both the first emperor and the empress were very kind to her son.As for the matter that made her husband mutter about Tai Huang Gui Tai Concubine Hu and the Zhao family, Princess Jin didn't take it to heart.If you want Princess Jin to say that the two families are karma.

The vassal kings came, and Princess Duanning rushed back to the imperial capital. Princess Duanning was really miserable when she cried.It was her own father who died. Her father was only a daughter of hers, and he loved her so much.However, before she died, she didn't even see her for the last time.

Princess Duanning cried directly in front of the coffin and passed out.

After crying for a while, I was worried about my aunt again, and I had to go to Fengyi Palace to visit my aunt. Seeing that my aunt had white hair on her temples, the tears rolled down from Princess Duanning's eyes again, and she covered her face and sobbed, "Father and queen are well." For the rest of her life, the queen mother has to take care of herself, and the emperor father can rest assured when he is below."

Empress Xie's heart was sour, but there were no tears in her eyes, she ordered the palace servants to bring warm water to wash Princess Duanning's face, Empress Xie asked, "How are you doing on the way?"

Princess Duanning said, "It's all good. It's just..." Thinking of her father's passing away, Princess Duanning said, "My father is dying, why didn't he call his daughter back?"

"Your Majesty has been ill for a long time and ordered the crown prince to manage the government. At that time, everyone knew that His Majesty was ill. If I called you back, I'm afraid it would fall into the eyes of someone with a heart." Empress Xie sighed, "Your father has left a lot Something for you."

Princess Duanning couldn't help crying again.

Emperor Zhaoming is an emperor that everyone can't help but miss. He is generous, kind, self-disciplined, caring for the people, and not mean to his subjects. When he was in power, everyone may feel that this emperor is very ordinary, not dignified enough, not enough. Possessive, but also somewhat fearful.But when he really left, everyone understood that this benevolent king had already left and would never come back.

Cried, missed.

Facing the new king who succeeded to the throne, everyone's minds gradually became active.

Yes, Queen Xie, we don't dare to mess with her, and we can't afford to mess with her.But, as far as we know, Xinjun's biological mother, Gong Zhao Rongling, is still alive.So what, what did the late emperor say?

The first emperor's last decree said two things. The first thing is that after his success, the crown prince will succeed him.The second thing is to take Gong Zhaorong to the underworld.Well, Xinjun, you can't just answer the first one, not the second one.

Everyone was waiting to attend Gong Zhaorong's funeral, and they went out together, saving their lives and crying again.

As far as Gong Zhao Rong Ling's going to be buried, not to mention those princes and ministers who have their own thoughts, many people who have old grievances with Empress Xie are also waiting to see the excitement!
For example, just after being confiscated and taken to the Hu family, he was just waiting for the excitement to drink.

His family is not only the natal family of Empress Hu Taihuang, but also the natal family of Emperor Taizong's step-wife Empress Hu. Taihuang Guitai Concubine can no longer be the main wife of Emperor Taizu, but it comes from Empress Hu. Why can't the Hu family inherit Duke Cheng'en?

Because of Empress Xie's dominance, the Hu family had no choice but to resign!
Today, their Hu family is going to see how Empress Xie let Gong Zhaorong be buried!

Speaking of which, this is also because the founding of the country was short, and everyone has no experience in doing this.Just like Emperor Zhaoming, before he died, he wanted to pave the way for his daughter-in-law. In addition, Emperor Zhaoming really didn't like Ling Xiao's character, so he wrote Ling Xiao's burial directly in his will.

Everything has been written in the will, so this matter can no longer be changed.

However, Emperor Zhaoming forgot that before he died, he bestowed Ling Xiao to death first.In this way, it is Emperor Zhaoming who bestows Ling Xiao's name on death, and no one can say anything else.As a result, Emperor Zhaoming did not expect this.Of course, Emperor Zhaoming was dying at that time, and he couldn't think of his own family, wife, and son. How could he think of little Ling Xiao.

As a result, Emperor Zhaoming wrote the matter in his will, but forgot the last procedure.

He didn't take Ling Xiao away before he died. As soon as Emperor Zhaoming died, Ling Xiao was not a high status, but she was the birth mother of the new emperor. Now, who dares to mention this matter?It's the most ungrateful, the most annoying, and the censor won't mention it.

Who will mention it?

You can't tell Xinjun, ouch, your mother should die!
This isn't Xinjun's motherfucker, he's looking for death!

No one mentioned this matter, but fortunately Xinjun didn't forget it.

Not only did Xin Jun not forget, he also understood that this matter that no one mentioned, everyone did not forget!
To say that Xinjun is really a benevolent person.He didn't ask anyone else to do this, so he ordered his confidant, and said, "Send the things to Gong Zhaorong, and then ask her if she has any last wishes?"

The servant went tremblingly with his things. The palace has always been the third oldest, with a red crest, a dagger, and a white silk.

The servant went quickly, and came back not too slowly, and said, "Your Majesty, Madam Gong wants to see Your Majesty." If you want to put someone else aside and refuse to die, then the servant will definitely see you off.However, Ling Xiao had a special status, she refused to commit suicide, and the servant did not dare to send her off, so she had to come back and report to the emperor.

Mu Fan sighed softly, and went to Lingxiao Palace.

Because during the mourning period of the first emperor, the palace was full of white, even the trees and flowers were decorated with white gauze.Speaking of which, this was the first time in Mu Fan's life that he came to the birth mother's palace. The aunt was kind to his concubines, so the concubine's offerings were the best in the order, and nothing was deducted.Ling Xiao obviously didn't wrong himself, even though he changed everything he used into plain things, the palace was quite elegant.

Ling Xiao was dressed in plain white brocade clothes and sat on the throne in the middle, with three things brought by his servants on the table next to his hand.Seeing Mu Fan coming, Ling Xiao pointed to the seat beside him and said, "The emperor sit down."

Mu Fan sat down, Ling Xiao ordered the palace servants to step down, Ling Xiao's own palace servants quickly stepped back, the servants around Mu Fan naturally looked at Mu Fan, Mu Fan nodded slightly, and the servants bowed Step back outside.

Since Ling Xiao invited Mu Fan over, she naturally had to speak first. She said, "The late emperor hated me very much. In fact, the late emperor didn't think much of us. What the late emperor cared about was always the empress. .”

"What's wrong with this? The queen mother is the first wife." Even Mu Fan himself respects his wife more than his concubine.

"It's not wrong, it's very right." Ling Xiao said with emotion, "How many men like the first emperor are there in the world? If it weren't for the queen's infertility, the first emperor probably wouldn't have us side concubines at all. I After giving birth to you, I was thinking, in terms of background, I am no match for the other concubines, and in terms of eyesight, the late emperor hated me the most. What future will you have if you follow me? Fortunately, the empress has no Son, she always wants to choose a concubine. Who is more suitable than you? I don't have a natal family, and among several side concubines, it is the most trouble-free. I think, as long as the mother-child relationship is severed with you, the empress will not I would mind raising you myself."

"In your heart, you must hate me and blame me, right? But, if you follow me, you will end up being a little vassal king like the other princes. Only by following the empress do you have the throne." Ling Xiao Looking at Mu Fan's tense side face, "Is the status and power important, or the relationship between mother and child? Emperor, what do you think?"

Mu Fan said, "This is the choice you made before, and I have no chance to make a choice about it."

"Then you have a chance to choose now, do you want to choose to kill your biological mother?"

Ling Xiao asked.

Mu Fan was able to be the emperor, and Emperor Zhaoming was able to make him the crown prince at the beginning. Naturally, it was because he grew up under Empress Xie's lap.However, Mu Fan's own quality is definitely not bad.Otherwise, Emperor Zhaoming would not have made fun of the old Mu's family for the sake of Empress Xie.When Mu Fan was young, it was Empress Xie who enlightened him. Later, he went to the palace to study. When he was acting as his father's vassal, his husband was Emperor Gong's teacher. If it was because of Ling Xiao's words, he would be shaken. Today, the emperor should change. .

Mu Fan remained motionless, and said in a deep voice, "Does Zhaorong know about the Empress Dowager Hu? People didn't know the will of the Empress Shizu at the time, but now that I know it, I must act according to the wishes of the Empress Shizu! I want to kill Zhaorong Yes, it's not me, it's Emperor Father! I'm just doing things according to the last emperor's will!"

"Zhaorong, I also want to ask you, is status and power more important, or is life more important?" Mu Fan looked at Ling Xiao closely, with an unfathomable expression in his eyes, Mu Fan said word by word, "If Zhao Rong knows what will happen today, Will she be abandoned by me back then! Or is it that Zhaorong is used to this kind of thing that she was born without raising?"

Ling Xiao's words could not shake Mu Fan in the slightest.Similarly, facing Mu Fan's questioning, Ling Xiao didn't feel guilty at all. She thought about Mu Fan's question seriously, and shook her head, "If there is another choice, it will still be like this. You may think, I'm sorry for you. But, as far as I am concerned, I would rather have you ascend to this supreme position."

Ling Xiao's words made Mu Fan's eyes even colder. He said coldly, "Zhaorong made a mistake in one sentence. Although you abandoned me, you are not wronging me. Although I failed to get my mother from you The love that my mother gave me is a little bit less! I am even glad that I grew up with my mother. Not because my mother guided me to the throne of God, but because I have never heard of "for your own good, I will abandon it You' said that. I'm really glad that you abandoned me for my own good. Otherwise, if one day you think that killing me is for my own good, I may die without a life."

Ling Xiao sighed softly, and was speechless for a long while. Finally, she moved her eyes away from Mu Fan. She rubbed her fingers against the smooth Fufeng beside the throne, and said for a long time, "I was born in a small village in the middle of Sichuan. Water Village belongs to Bishui County, not far from Rongcheng in the middle of Shu. My father was a hunter in the mountains. Later, when I was old enough to marry, I married a scholar named Xu from the same village. The fortune teller said that the character Zhen was not good, so he changed his name to Xu Ning. It was good at the beginning, but after he won the exam, it gradually changed. I didn’t notice it at first, but gradually I felt unwell and started to feel sick. Lethargy, I just discovered by accident that the maid drugged my rice bowl. Do you know why? Because he saw a token of the British government among the relics of my father after his death, he deduced that I My father used to be a guard of the former British government. At that time, the former British government was punished by the family for the crime of treason. He was afraid of being implicated by me, so he murdered me. He just showed some liking for the stupid girl next to me She wanted to marry her but couldn't, so that stupid girl began to drug me. At that time, I didn't know the reason for the token. I thought it was Xu Ning who changed his mind and wanted to kill me. Sadly, I bought arsenic, and I meant to die with him, but he was lucky. That stupid girl tasted the soup for him, and poisoned herself to death. Since I tore my face, he didn't dare to do anything to me. After I left, Only then did I realize that I was pregnant." Ling Xiao's eyes returned to Mu Fan again, and she said, "Emperor, do you think power is more important or life is more important? Emperor, you were born in the royal family, so you should understand better than me. Sometimes power is life."

Ling Xiao said calmly, "In my life, I have loved and hated, and enjoyed the glory and wealth. I have two sons, neither of whom was raised by me. One is Tanhua and the other is the emperor. I seek benevolence There is nothing to regret about being benevolent. If there is any unfulfilled wish, only Xu Ning has not avenged me!" Ling Xiao looked at Mu Fan with condensed eyes, and said, "I want Xu Ning to die!"

Mu Fan asked, "Jiang Tanhua also..."

Ling Xiao laughed loudly, "His surname is not Xu." After speaking, he took a cup of Heding red wine and drank it with his head raised.

Hedinghong is a secret medicine in the palace and is highly poisonous.

As soon as the poison touched his throat, Ling Xiao immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, which stained the plain front skirt red.A trace of resentment flashed across Mu Fan's face, but Ling Xiao looked at him with a smile, wiped off the blood on the corner of his lips, and tried to speak, "There is one more regret, but unfortunately I couldn't impress the emperor in the end, so I had to end up short and lose the honor of the queen mother." !"

The unbearable feeling in Mu Fan's heart disappeared instantly, and Ling Xiao vomited blood and died.

On March [-]th of the tenth year of Zhaoming, Gongzhao Rong'an family died for Emperor Zhaoming.
