The blind concubine married the prince, don't stand in the way

Chapter 482 032: Concubine Li commits suicide, summoned by the emperor (second update)
He Fu was startled, and other people in the hall also lowered their heads one after another, all of them panicked, as if they hadn't heard the Queen's outrageous words.

The queen didn't seem to feel that she had said something wrong, she still had a dignified look on her face, and said indifferently: "You go and ask His Majesty on behalf of the palace, and they all say that the son is not the fault of the godfather. If Concubine Li deserves to die as a mother, then he So what should I do as a father? Ask clearly, if he insists on giving him death, you can come again."

He Fu hurriedly begged: "Empress, please spare this servant..."

The queen was unmoved, and said lightly: "Don't worry, since you are interrogating for me, His Majesty will not punish you."

He Fu raised his head and wanted to say something, but when he met the empress's nonchalant eyes, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept the order, as if with his tail between his legs, he led the people away with his things.

Only then did the queen walk over, and personally helped up Concubine Li who was kneeling there with a dull face.

Concubine Li is over 50 years old, in fact she is only five years older than the queen, but she looks like ten years older than the queen, her hair is much grayer, and her skin is also a little old and pale, but if you look closely, you can see that she is young She didn't look very good-looking when she was young, but she was just delicate and handsome. Her heart was haggard and she had no desires and desires for many years. She looked at her like a puppet, without the slightest emotion that a human should have.

The queen supported her, but she didn't shirk it. After standing up, she took a step back and nodded in gratitude: "Thank you, empress."

The voice was low and calm, without any emotion.

When others listened, they might think that she was thanking the queen for saving her life in time, but the queen knew that she was just thanking herself for helping her up.

The queen looked at her solemnly, sighed, and raised her voice, "Go down."

"Yes."

A group of people withdrew one after another, and soon only the queen and concubine Li remained.

Concubine Li said indifferently: "The queen sit down."

The queen nodded, walked to the table over there and sat down, Concubine Li followed, but did not sit down.

The queen said: "You sit too."

She sat down slowly.

It can be seen from her demeanor that although she doesn't care about anything, she has some respect for the queen.

The queen looked at her, and asked calmly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and my face is getting worse. Didn't you send the imperial doctor to look at it before? Why didn't you get better? Could it be that the people below didn't serve you wholeheartedly?"

Concubine Li shook her head, her tone was still calm: "They don't dare to neglect me, but I'm just a walking corpse, whether it's good or bad, the queen doesn't have to worry about me anymore."

When the queen heard the words, she didn't know what to say except to sigh.

Concubine Li has been like this for more than 20 years. She once persuaded her, but now, even persuading her feels unnecessary.

Concubine Li looked at the queen with such a penetrating and calm gaze, she said: "Actually, the queen doesn't need to come here today. To me, life and death are the same, if it wasn't for... I might not be here long ago."

She really has no nostalgia, even if she has two children, she actually has nothing to let go of, but the suicide of a concubine will bring disaster to the family. To implicate the family, she can only live like a walking dead. I don't know if God is playing tricks on people, but she has never taken her life away.

But this time, it might be difficult for the Wang family to escape.

The queen's expression moved slightly, and she said helplessly: "Whether you want to live or not is your business, and I have no right to control it, but this matter has nothing to do with you, so I naturally cannot let him kill you."

Concubine Li drooped her eyes and said nothing, her expression calm.

The queen frowned and looked at her: "Don't you want to ask about King Rong's situation?"

Concubine Li's expression fluctuated a little, but she gave a faint wry smile: "Forcing the palace to treason is a capital crime, left is only a death sentence, since I know, why bother to ask? If I ask, what can I change?"

The queen fell silent immediately.

Really can't change anything.

The queen nodded and said: "King Rong is indeed a death sentence this time, not to mention that His Majesty will not let him go, even if he wants to, there is no way, but fortunately, the four children of King Rong were sent Gone, and now, I don’t know where to go.”

Concubine Li looked up at her: "Sent away?"

"Yes, King Rong was well-prepared. He was sent away after the defeat. Now that he is gone, His Majesty has sent someone to chase after him, but... I'm afraid it will be difficult to chase after him."

Li Fei seemed relieved.

After all, it is her grandchildren, she knows that King Rong cannot be saved, so she accepts the result that King Rong will die, but if her grandchildren can live, it is also very good, although they are not close to her, they are all innocent child.

"Then..."

The Queen said: "Your Majesty also sent people to Prince Hui's Mansion just now, intending to deal with Prince Hui's family as well. I asked Xuan'er to stop it. Don't worry, I will protect them."

"Thank you... Queen."

The queen looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "King Rong is currently being imprisoned in the prison, do you... have anything to tell him?"

Concubine Li was silent for a moment before shaking her head: "I have nothing to say."

The queen frowned.

Concubine Li said indifferently: "As a mother, I have always known the unwillingness and resentment in his heart, but I can't explain it to him. This is what he has always wanted to do, and it is also what he has to do. It doesn't matter if he succeeds or fails. , are all his own path, he was born with a bloodline that was doomed not to end well, once he fights, no matter whether he lives or dies, it is nothing more than seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence. He understands things himself, so I don't need to say more. "

After being silent for a long time, the queen smiled lightly: "What you said... makes sense."

The corners of Concubine Li's mouth twitched slightly, and after drooping her eyes for a moment of meditation, she suddenly said to the queen indifferently: "Queen, in fact, I have never blamed you."

The queen was taken aback.

Concubine Li looked at her, and on her usual indifferent face, there was a little more of a sincere and indifferent smile: "I have always understood that the empress has protected me so much for so many years because she feels that she owes me, but in fact, you You have never owed me anything. What happened back then, you are just a poor person like me. I have been unwilling and resentful, but these were never caused by you, and I never blamed you. I entrusted the inhumane, deserved to end up like this, no different from others."

The corners of the Queen's lips moved slightly, wanting to say something, but for some reason, she didn't speak, just quietly watching the flickering candlelight on the lamp stand over there.

In fact, Concubine Li hadn't spoken so much for many years, and she said so much today, she didn't want to talk anymore, the two sat silently for a long time, the queen thought there was something else to do, so she got up and said something to make her feel at ease, and then left.

As for the emperor, I don't know how He Fu passed on the message, but the emperor did not embarrass Concubine Li any more. After Princess Yichuan stopped him, Mo Jing returned empty-handed to return, and he did not send any more people.

But no matter how strong the queen is, she can't keep a person who is ashamed and lifeless.

That night, Concubine Li committed suicide.

When the queen heard the news and rushed to Zhining Palace the next day, Concubine Li's body was frozen.

The Empress Gong didn't ask the waiter, but asked calmly what was going on.

It turned out that she committed suicide by taking poison. She had always had poison herself, but it was useless. After going to bed last night, she took the poison and lay down.

Only one suicide note was left for the queen, hoping that she could save the whole family of King Hui and Zhao Yu, and King Rong, since death was inevitable, I hoped to give him a good time and leave a whole body.

Of course, there is the last one, which is to hope not to enter the imperial tomb.

Born in a family of officials, although not a wealthy family, he has been educated, sensible, gentle and virtuous since he was a child. At the age of 15, he was accused of marrying Zhao Ding and spent six years with him, sharing joys and sorrows with him. After being humiliated and ridiculed for so many years, she was humiliated and failed again and again, making her feel ashamed. After so many years of having nothing to desire, she finally ended her humiliating and ridiculous life by herself.

Speaking of which, it was also a relief.

The queen knew that she didn't want to live a long time ago, so she didn't regret it too much. She came to stop her yesterday because she didn't want her to be killed by the emperor. Now that she committed suicide by herself, she died with dignity. Perhaps, it was her What she wants, even if she dies, she must die cleanly, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with that person.

Now because of King Rong, Concubine Li’s funeral cannot be handled properly. The queen thought for a long time, and ordered people to put Concubine Li in a coffin and send her to Prince Hui’s mansion in person with Princess Yichuan. The mother set up a spirit for the funeral. As for where to be buried, it was up to King Hui to decide.

Concubine Li's death, in this imperial palace, is like a breeze blowing across the lake, without disturbing any waves, like a dead lady, just like an ant.

But one thing exploded in Jicheng.

Just last night, Cheng Xuanlin, the deputy commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion who was detained in the East Camp of the Forbidden Army, and other officers who were also detained in the East Camp, were all killed with a single knife. No one saw who killed these people, but all the murder weapons left at the scene were unique to Chu Palace!
Obviously it was the Chu Palace's work.

Once the news spread, the already turbulent court and Jicheng were shocked, and many people belatedly remembered that the remnants of the Xiaoqi battalion detained in Dongying were the one who besieged the Prince Chu's mansion that night. Branches, and the officers and generals who died were all those who commanded the battle that night.

Therefore, what Chu Wangfu did was reasonable.

But the emperor was furious.

However, no matter how angry, it can only be regarded as not knowing.

However, no matter how you treat it as not knowing, it is inevitable.

Because on the second day after the incident, the Prince of Chu’s Mansion submitted a memorial and attached a list of survivors from the Xiaoqi Camp that attacked the Prince of Chu’s Mansion that night. People, asking the emperor to execute all the crimes, the meaning is very clear, how other emperors deal with the Chu Palace has no control, and they have no right to interfere. However, these people besieged the Chu Palace that night, intending to destroy the Chu Palace. According to the laws of the Qin State, the crime is the same. The crime deserves to be punished!

The memorandum was written by Fu Yue, and it was not sent to the emperor directly, but submitted layer by layer. The already urgent situation in Jicheng became more and more strange.

Although just experienced a rebellion, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the prince has ordered some affected streets to be rectified in just three days. Therefore, Jicheng has slowly recovered its noise, but the abnormal bloody storm is not over yet , people in Jicheng were terrified, the noise was even more depressed than usual, it didn't look like the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching at all.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is going to be difficult. Of course, Fu Yue has no plans.

She was impatient to wait any longer.

There has been no news from Chu Yin for eighteen days!

The biography she sent out for more than ten days in a row also disappeared like a sea, she was really scared, and immediately asked Chu San to go to the southern border immediately to see what was going on.

Chu San set off immediately.

After Chu San left, Fu Yue went to the Medicine Pavilion as usual.

The tenth princess hangs her breath, she doesn't get better at all, and she doesn't show any signs of waking up, she lies down like a living dead, her complexion is still pale, her breath is as shallow as if she is about to die, Ji Ting gives her daily acupuncture infusions to stabilize her internal energy. To hold her lifeline, and to change the dressing on her wound personally is the only way to do it. For the rest, I can't do anything. I can only see the fortune of the ten princesses. If she should not die, she should survive this calamity , if... that's just her fate.

Speaking of this, Ji Ting himself found it ridiculous: "I have never believed in fate in my life. I always thought that I could compete with God for others. I am extremely conceited, but now, there is nothing I can do."

This is the second time he is so powerless. Back then, the real Fu Yue, the fourth princess of Qi Guo who died at the age of ten, he could only watch her die, and he could do nothing, but the situation was different. At the beginning, Fu Si was born weak and weak, and then died of internal organ failure, even the gods of Da Luo could not save him, but now the tenth princess, he couldn't figure out why he couldn't wake up, and how to save him, because This time he and Yan Wuchou adopted the method for the first time, which can be said to be a gamble.

If you win the bet, both mother and child will be safe, but if you lose the bet, it will be the fate of the tenth princess, and everything depends on luck.

Fu Yue was feeling melancholy when someone came from the palace.

Knowing that the Chu Palace was also besieged that night, people often came to the palace these days, the empress and noble concubine sent people to say hello, even the emperor sent people to pretend to ask if they were all well, but today they didn't come to ask, Instead, he came to call her into the palace.

Not a queen or a noble concubine, but an emperor!

Fu Yue was a little surprised, but not too surprised, because the emperor summoned her at this time, it was expected. When she handed in the notebook, she had already expected it, but she didn't expect it so soon.
