Madame is as charming as a flower

Chapter 678 Empress Dowager Longyu dies.

Ever since Duan Chengye's accident happened, Marshal Duan took back the part of the military power in Duan Siyan's hands, in the name of letting Duan Siyan recover from his injuries, but in fact, he wanted to firmly hold the military power in his own hands. hand.

After so many things happened in a row, Marshal Duan could only believe in himself.

These sentences are poking at Duan Siyan's heart, and the man's eyes are as calm as water: "Everything is fine in the Duan family, I'm afraid I will disappoint Young Marshal Jin."

"That's not true. Seeing Young Commander Duan's forced smile, I feel at ease." Jin Tingxiao smiled faintly. This was the first time the two of them opened the skylight to speak openly.

Duan Siyan looked at him coldly: "Why does Young Marshal Jin forcefully smile when he sees me?"

Even though he was indeed forced to smile, he was unwilling to bow his head in front of Jin Tingxiao.

"I won't go into details here, and you won't know if I tell you." Jin Tingxiao smiled mysteriously, raised his chin slightly and looked at him, the smile that flowed from the corner of his eyes was mostly casual.

The coolness went down to the bone.

Duan Siyan took a deep breath in his heart, even though he was angry, he couldn't vent it.

Fu Yuejun was not in the mood to continue chatting with Duan Siyan, so she took the revolving lantern, bowed down to salute Duan Siyan, then turned and left with Yun Xiao and Jin Tingxiao.

Duan Siyan looked at the woman with elegant and docile eyebrows. At this moment, she had no edges and corners. No matter what he did, she could not arouse the slightest change in her emotions.

In other words, if he doesn't care about her, she naturally doesn't care.

Looking at it, he felt that his eyes were sore, and there was an unspeakable pain in his heart.

Originally, Fu Yuejun was in a good mood, but after meeting Duan Siyan, she no longer had any interest in playing and went back to the mansion early.

These two days, Fu Yuejun hadn't left the mansion. On Shiqiu day, she and Zhao Yanqiu accompanied the old lady to have breakfast, the old housekeeper trot in all the way and said in a panic: "Old lady, miss, something is wrong!"

It seemed that there was something urgent. On this cold day, the old butler was sweating profusely, and said tremblingly, "The urgent telegram is eight hundred miles away from the capital. The queen mother...is dead..."

Snapped--

The bowl in the old lady's hand fell to the ground immediately, and when she said these words, she suddenly felt thunderbolt, the queen mother had only passed her longevity for half a month, why did she pass away?

"What did the imperial doctor say?" The old lady's voice was choked up.

The old housekeeper lowered his head, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito: "The imperial doctor said that it was caused by a heart disease. The queen mother summoned the people of the clan since the longevity day, but most of the clan princes and ministers avoided and refused to join in the congratulations, which caused the queen mother to be ill. .”

"It's a fateful thing, even grandma's heartache won't help." Fu Yuejun was very calm, without any emotional ups and downs in his words, which was different from the old lady's grief.

That's because she knew that the queen mother had been depressed for a long time and became ill. Although she abdicated under the edict, she still felt remorse in her heart and felt that she was ashamed of her ancestors.

On the day of Longevity Day, the Empress Dowager received congratulations in front of the hall as usual, but most of the clan princes avoided and refused to enter the hall to congratulate, and there were very few people in the hall.

The Empress Dowager deeply felt the prosperity of the past when she was in control of power, and she was filled with sorrow and illness, coupled with deep guilt for the ruin of her ancestors' foundation, so there was no way to recover.

"The pillars of the court are gone, what should the court do?"

The old lady sat there in a daze, with a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart. Back then, the Empress Dowager Xiaoqin passed away, and the little emperor was only three years old.
