Chapter 682 Death
The emperor was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that even Xie Tiao began to persuade him to make a crown prince. In the eyes of these courtiers, does he really have a short life as an emperor?
"You, you, you, chaotic, chaotic, minister, minister..."
The four words of rebellious officials and thieves were not uttered, but Zhang Minghe cut them off, "The emperor calm down, thank you for your dedication to Da Yong for me, what you said is an urgent matter right now, please let the emperor make a decision!"
The emperor closed his eyes, obviously resisting, Zeng Shiyi said, "Although your majesty has been prosperous for thousands of years, it is not easy to cultivate a prince. Presumably, your majesty does not want Dayong's country to fall into the hands of a foolish emperor in the future, ruining a hundred years of society. I think that the emperor still has the energy right now, so I can choose my childish son to teach me carefully and cultivate a wise emperor for Dayong in the future."
The emperor calmed down, thinking that his words were reasonable, his stiff neck moved slightly, making people guess that he should be nodding, "Loyalty, loyal minister."
The emperor's words were vague and difficult to distinguish, and none of the courtiers were willing to discern them wholeheartedly. Seeing that the emperor had agreed, the courtiers began to choose the crown prince, from the eldest prince to the eighth prince. , but, but first, I take one step, one step... hook... Yi... madam."
Li Baozhen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean? I am worried that the child will be young and the mother will be strong, and that Concubine Jing will control the government in the future, so I will send Concubine Jing..."
He gestured to his neck.
The emperor blinked, then nodded again, "Give...death!"
In Qingning Palace, Mrs. Cao looked at the big tree swaying outside the window, the wind blew, and the snow fell in waves, and murmured, "Rong Zhao, don't come here, it's not my palace who killed you, Xiao Lang spoiled you alone." One person, I don't envy you, I gave birth to a son, you have nothing, why should I envy you?"
She was talking to herself, when Li Baozhen came, walked up to her, and after saluting, Mrs. Cao stood up abruptly, "Eunuch Li, did the emperor ask you to come?"
A flowery smile bloomed on her originally sophisticated face, and innocent eyes fell on Li Baozhen's face expectantly.
"That's right, Concubine Jing is right, the emperor sent the slave here, congratulations to the empress!"
"I don't know where Bengong's happiness comes from?" She suddenly thought of it, and hurriedly asked, "Is it true that the emperor wants to re-proclaim Bengong as queen?"
Li Baozhen shook his head, "Concubine Jing, the emperor gave the eighth prince a name, Xiao Changsheng, and the emperor is going to make the eighth prince the crown prince. This is a great joy!"
After hearing this for a long time, Mrs. Cao burst out laughing. She rushed to the window, holding on to the closed window with both hands, shaking it desperately, as if she was going to get out of the window, "I'm going to be the queen mother, hahaha, let's go!" Zhao, from queen to queen mother, I did it, how about you? Hahaha, I finally won!"
She looked at the glazed world like jade trees and Qiongzhi outside, and remembered that a long, long time ago, she and Lu Rongzhao met at Famen Temple outside the city. , Xiao Lang's gaze has been tightly locked on Lu Rongzhao, she saw Lu Rongzhao's face blushed shyly, at that moment, her heart was full of resentment.
As time passed, she heard that Xiao Lang and Lu Rongzhao went climbing together, saw mountain peaches together, and went to the foot of Nanshan Mountain to eat rice cakes made by Granny Mi.
Rong Zhao came back and told her that the rice cakes were packed with mugwort leaves, which were delicious. In the winter, the mugwort leaves were green. After asking, I found out that the smart Granny Mi dried the mugwort leaves and put them in the cellar. When you want to use it, take it out, soak it in warm water, sprinkle a little salt in the water, and the leaves will turn green as new.
The resentment in her heart grew over time, swallowing her reason several times.
Later, she purposely met Xiao Yan several times, so that she gradually fell into Xiao Yan's eyes. When she knew that Xiao Yan had ambitions, she was very happy. She imagined day and night that she was sitting in Feng On the seat, the scene of Lu Rongzhao prostrate at his feet begging for mercy, how relieved it should be!
She even suggested to Xiao Cang that Lu Rongzhao was beautiful, and it would be a pity if he died. The Lu family treated Lu Rongzhao like a treasure. If they want to get the support of the Lu family, they might as well let Lu Rongzhao go.
Lu Rongzhao is a female class, as long as Xiao Lang dies, she will not be able to make big waves.
At that time, she already knew that Xiao Can bribed an imperial cook in the imperial dining room to add a little baby soup to the bird's nest that Lu Rongzhao took every day. Lu Rongzhao had never been pregnant, so she guessed Xiao Can's thoughts.
Sure enough, Xiao Yan was very satisfied. That night, he lingered with her for half the night, praised her for being extremely considerate, and promised that no matter who she was, she would never be better than her first wife.
She did so much for him!
She didn't ask for much in her life, all she wanted was status and status, and she never coveted his sincerity.
Li Baozhen smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, in the future, your Majesty will definitely be the Empress Dowager, but the Emperor said that if your Majesty wants the Eighth Prince to be the crown prince, she must go first!"
Mrs. Cao still didn't understand, Li Baozhen waved his hand, and behind him, four eunuchs came forward, one holding a white silk, the other holding a poisonous wine, and two people were required to follow, empty-handed, but Apparently he came to serve Mrs. Cao on his way.
Cao's eyes widened suddenly, she looked at everything in front of her in disbelief, and shouted, "Mommy, mommy!"
In less than half a year, Nanny Xi, who was well cared for in the past, has gray hair all over her head. This nanny who has served Mrs. Cao all her life, regards her as her own, thinks of her, and plans endlessly for her, seems to have already old.
She hurriedly hugged Mrs. Cao in her arms, and said with righteous indignation, "Eunuch Li, did you make a mistake? The empress and the emperor are married couples, and they gave birth to a prince and princess for the emperor. How could the emperor treat the empress like this?"
Li Baozhen has been smiling all the time, he seems to dare not offend anyone, as if he is careful to accompany him, but he is always alienated and disdainful, "Look at what the nanny said, our family has been in the palace for so many years, how big is it?" What's the matter, how dare our family make a mistake? If the eighth prince is crowned prince, he will be the future Long Live Lord. If there is no imperial decree, our family will do such a disobedient thing?"
Why doesn't Nanny Xi know this? It's just that she can't help but watch the person she has defended all her life die, so she can't help but kneel down, "I beg my father-in-law to speak kindly for my mother in front of the emperor, my mother Now that’s the case, what is the emperor worried about? The Marquis of Wu’an’s mansion is gone, and everyone in the Cao family is dead. For the sake of the Eldest Princess and the Eighth Prince, I beg the Emperor to spare the life of the Empress!”
Li Baozhen also sighed, but there is a jungle inside the palace walls, how can people who can survive in this dangerous place have a soft heart?
Li Baozhen smiled and did not speak, but waited patiently.
The second update!
