The maid is the queen

Chapter 272 Finale (4)

The Queen Mother is only in her 40s now, she still has a long, long time to live, she won't just let the Emperor sleep for three years.

Once a person's ambition grows, it is more logical to seek to usurp the throne.

But my Xi'er, how can I give up.

My heart hurts very much, everything in front of me seems to have turned into black and white, and even the voices yelling to kill the concubine in my ears have become very far away.

I shook my head, tears fell, Xi, who was still asleep, didn't know what he was facing now?
The queen mother wanted to kill me, my heart was pierced like a knife, and it was hard to choose how to live.

She doesn't care about that, and I do.

"You say it or not, Aijia has no patience, and Aijia is not a vegetarian." She moved her fingertips on Xi'er's neck.

"Stop." He said coldly.

A man dressed in light blue came riding a horse. His voice was so clear and powerful that it stopped the impatient thousands of horses, because, behind him, the wolf smoke was billowing, and the hooves of the horses were thundering. Then I saw a mass of black heads.

The queen mother trembled a little, and I didn't even dare to recognize it. Is that him?

Is it Xia Juntang or him?I'm not even sure, I'm afraid I'll be disappointed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Eunuch Chen, who was forced into a corner, shouted out of joy.

Duke Mu sat on his horse and followed, and said sharply: "The emperor is here, whoever dares to make trouble will not kneel down."

Everyone was startled, looking at the man in blue on the horseback, the innate majesty made them all kneel down and shouted three times: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

The wavy voice is true, it's him.

I opened my mouth and cried silently, all the exhaustion and pain, I cried out together, the tears blurred my vision, I only saw him running here on horseback.

Hearing the sound of him going up the stairs was so powerful that I also trembled.

It was him, it was him, it must be him.

"Queen, what are you doing?" He asked sharply, staring at Xi'er in the Queen Mother's heart.

As if waking up from a dream, the emperor was so frightened that the father-in-law who was holding me let go of me, and then knelt on the ground limply. I rushed over to snatch Xi from the Queen Mother's hand, and hugged him tightly.

The Queen Mother didn't seem to believe it was him, and watched seriously.

He smiled faintly: "Queen, I shouldn't have appeared, right? Queen, I have to say, I really didn't expect you to be so ruthless. What family affection, what blood relationship, can't match the power you want in your heart, but Empress, you lost."

The last few words made the Queen Mother take a staggering step back, holding on to the railing with one hand, a little precariously.

He approached me, wiping my tears with warm hands.

It's so warm, it's him, it's him.

I just wiped away the tears, but tears filled my eyes again. He hugged me into his arms without saying anything, and hugged me tightly to let me know how fast his heart was beating.It hurts so fast, this embrace can protect me from wind and rain.

Duke Mu and the generals are calming down the chaos below, so many people will definitely not be killed.

"Mother, what do you mean? Mother, do you want to listen to the government behind the curtain, or directly replace the Xia family. Now I can still respect you as a queen, but I love and hate these two words. "

The queen mother's mouth twitched: "The emperor, Lan'er, it's because the disaster victims flooded into the capital."

"Does the queen mother still want to lie to me? Are those disaster victims? Yang Shangshu and the Lu family together stopped and swallowed all the military rations I sent down. The so-called disaster victims are all young and strong, and they are all people with weapons in their hands. Empress, do you think I'm a fool, or do you think I'm incapable of dealing with this matter? Is the military power of the three armies, the Li family, and the Mu family's military power not in my hands?"

The queen mother moved her lips and stopped talking.

Xia Junlan said coldly again: "You treat the victims of the snow disaster in the north like this, aren't you afraid of being sent by heaven? Queen Mother, I think you know better than me what the end will be like if you are greedy for profit. Intoxicated, the military power in the court, in my opinion, the queen mother is really unworthy to be the queen mother of this world, what virtue and ability do you have, what have you done?"

"Emperor..."

"When you wanted to kill Xi, did you ever act as your emperor? The so-called tiger does not eat its offspring, but you are so vicious that you are worse than a tiger."

I whimpered and cried, as long as I hugged him, I was not afraid of anything.

It was very quiet outside, a turmoil finally subsided like that, hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded the town, only dealt with the principals, most of whom were generals of the Lu family, and imprisoned the people of the Yang family .

The Lu family, as well as Yang Shangshu, embezzled the imperial rations and planned a rebellion. They were responsible for punishing the nine clans. However, the number of people was too large. Xia Junlan only killed these related people. Except for the servants, everyone in the Yang family had to be dispatched. To the frontier to serve as troops.

"Why are you still crying? Zhiqiu, stop crying. It's my fault. I left you alone. I'm sorry. I'm back now. You should be happy. Are you a silly girl? Come on, give me a smile. Let's stop crying."

He coaxed me helplessly, but I still wanted to cry very much.

I cried when I laughed, and I cried when I didn't laugh. My bravery and boldness collapsed and disappeared in front of him.

"Stop crying." He coaxed carefully: "I'll tell you a secret, so you won't cry, okay?"

"You say." I leaned in his arms, feeling his warmth, his presence, so good, so good, he really came back, I'm not dreaming.

He patted my shoulder and kissed my forehead lightly: "Little thing, I actually woke up not long after I left the capital. When I was drinking, I still found out that the Jiulong cup was not mine, because I accidentally bumped into it. When I arrived at the stone table, a dragon's tail was broken. At that time, I was afraid that the late emperor would scold me, so I didn't dare to make a sound. When I was drinking, I would subconsciously move the dragon with the broken tail in front of me. I turned around that day, but I didn't notice it. That dragon is also a bit wary at the moment. There is also a Nine Dragon Cup that belongs to the Queen Mother. There is nothing strange about the wine, but since I was young in the palace, I didn’t see anything. As for those, as long as you are intoxicated and dip a little on the white cloth, there will be a faint redness, but if you don’t drink too much, you will wake up quickly. My military power has disappeared overnight. The queen mother must be hidden. If you get dense, you can only win by taking dangerous moves, which is really difficult for you, Zhiqiu."

I was angry and annoyed when I heard it. It turned out that he woke up so early, but he kept hiding it all the time. I was a little angry and resentful.

He hugged me and coaxed me: "Zhen Zhiqiu's performance is really good, I didn't even know you could be so bold."

"You don't say good things." Am I still angry?
"I have seen you, but in order to get back the military power, I have to hold back, don't you think I am not sad? You and Xia Juntang are lying on the same bed, and seeing it makes me angry."

He said sourly, I hugged his neck: "Don't scare me anymore."

"Are you not angry?" He asked in surprise.

I shook my head: "I don't have so much energy to be angry anymore. After so many days, I have gone through a lot of things. The parting of life and death is just a moment. I just want to be with you well. I don't want to waste time on being angry. .”

He didn't say anything, just hugged me tightly.

There are still many things in the palace, so I can't stay outside for a long time, so I hurried back to that palace.

When he left the palace, he regarded death as home. When he returned to the palace, he was by his side, and he fell asleep peacefully. No matter what storms he had, when he came back, it would be that peaceful sky.

"Zhiqiu, Zhiqiu." He called my name in a low voice, and hugged me tightly: "Don't be afraid, there won't be any more wind and rain."

I nodded, not wanting to say anything, just quietly feeling that he was by my side.

Xia Junlan deserved to be a king, she was so cunning that even the queen mother was deceived, secretly stole back the military power, and silently controlled the affairs of the capital.

When the children woke up in the evening, Xu looked at me and said, "Mother Concubine, Xu overslept, and Xu will never do this again."

I just laughed and hugged him up: "Silly boy, your father is back."

He also laughed: "Mother Concubine, that's great."

"What's so good, Xu has become stupid, hehe, your father is back, there will be one more person to oppress you."

Taking the child to Zhenghua Palace, Zensheng even the night became more beautiful.

The brilliance of the lanterns at the entrance of Zhenghua Palace is so warm.

After entering, my father-in-law said that the emperor was not here, and told me to sit in the warm room for a while.

Xi was a little unhappy: "Mother, Xi, don't eat here."

"You're disobedient, okay, later your father will stab you with his beard to see if you feel the pain."

He blinked his eyes with anticipation.

There were still some red plums that didn’t have a pavilion. I knew he liked them very much, so I took the maids to pick some red plums and brought them back.

After breaking off a few red plums, the sound of arguing was heard outside Zhenghua Palace.

"Empress, without the emperor's permission, you are not allowed to enter or leave here casually."

"Yun Zhiqiu." The queen called loudly: "Come out."

So anxious, so frightened, I dropped the plum blossoms in my hand and ran out. Seeing Lu Yao with loose hair and eyes full of tears, I hurriedly said: "Yun Zhiqiu, follow me to the queen mother's room." to the palace."

Lu Yao has never been so embarrassed, nor even panicked. I didn't ask anything, and I left the plum blossom in my hand and followed her. Along the way, she held my hand tightly, as if she was very scared, scared. Walking slowly, even running.

"Lu Yao." I called her softly, very worried.

She didn't speak, and pulled me to run fast, stepping on the snow and almost didn't fall.

Soon we arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace, and the gatekeeper's father-in-law suddenly changed. He was a little surprised when he saw Lu Yao and me coming in, but he still said dutifully: "The emperor ordered that no one should enter."

"I have to go in." Lu Yao's voice broke: "You must go in, I am the queen."

"The emperor also specifically confessed that the queen must not be allowed in."

Xia Junlan is indeed very good at understanding people, and can easily guess everything.

I stood in front of Lu Yao: "Let me in."

The gatekeeper said: "Young concubine, don't make things difficult for your subordinates."

"The emperor punishes me, and I will block it." I pulled Lu Yao and went in.

He ran across the garden and went straight to the inner hall, but looking at the outer hall, there were many court ladies and father-in-law kneeling densely.

Let the guard pass the message, and then he came out and took Lu Yao and me in.
