Abandoned Concubine's Promotion

Chapter 407
After noon, Emperor Jing came to Qifeng Palace on a dragon chariot. Yingluo was very surprised by Emperor Jing's sudden arrival. She originally thought that she would go to Longgan Palace in a while and tell the emperor the queen's request. Thinking of the emperor himself coming.

"Where's the queen?" Looking at Yingluo, Emperor Jing asked.

"Go back to the emperor, the empress is resting in the inner room." He quickly responded, and before Yingluo could speak again, Emperor Jing had already walked towards the inner room.

In the inner room, the queen was lying on the bed, closing her eyes to rest her mind, when she heard footsteps, she thought it was Yingluo, so she didn't open her eyes, "Yingluo, have you invited the emperor yet?"

Perhaps because of illness, the queen's voice was not as good as before, it sounded very hoarse, like an old woman.

"I'm here, the queen wants to find me?" Looking at the emaciated queen on the bed, Emperor Jing couldn't help frowning, he slowed down his voice, and sat on the chair beside the bed.

Hearing Emperor Jing's voice, the queen opened her eyes immediately. She looked at Emperor Jing who was sitting beside her bed, and tears suddenly fell down, "I thought that I would never see the emperor again in this life. one day."

"You are so ill, why didn't you send someone to tell me?" Emperor Jing actually didn't know that the empress was so ill, and there were too many things in the court recently, even going to Guanju Palace was forced to squeeze time to come out.

If he hadn't asked yesterday, he might not have heard the news about the queen's serious illness now.

"Doesn't the emperor know everything about the harem?" A sarcastic smile appeared on her lips. As a queen, she knew many things that others didn't.

"Recently, the imperial affairs are busy, and I seldom get involved in matters in the harem." Knowing that the empress had resentment in his heart, Emperor Jing was not annoyed, his voice was always the same as before, soft and low.

"Your majesty, in your heart, has the concubine become a waste empress? Do you really want to drag the concubine from the back seat?" Looking at Emperor Jing's face, the queen said again, "The life of the concubine Not much more, the idea in the emperor's heart is about to come true."

"Take good care of your body and don't think about it." Even if you think about abolishing the queen, at this time, Emperor Jing will not admit that the queen is already seriously ill. a knife.

"The concubine is not thinking wildly. After all, the concubine and the emperor have been married for many years. The concubine can still guess what you are thinking." She opened her mouth with a smile, and the queen's tone was very weak. She gasped every time she said a word. for a while.

"You are not feeling well, don't force yourself." Seeing the empress like this, Emperor Jing spoke again, comforting the empress, "I know that you have resentment in your heart, but right now, your body is more important."

"The body is not important anymore. The concubine doesn't have many days left. After the concubine leaves, please ask the emperor to release Yingluo from the palace. She has been with the concubine for many years. The concubine hopes that she will have a good life in the future."

Looking at Emperor Jing, the Empress begged. Naturally, Emperor Jing would not refuse such a request. He nodded and accepted the matter.

"In addition, the concubine also wants to ask the emperor to leave a bloodline for the Xiao family because of the relationship between you and me for many years." The queen knows about the Xiao family. Before, she still thought, Perhaps the Xiao family can succeed, but looking at Emperor Jing in front of her, the queen understands that the Xiao family is absolutely impossible to succeed.

Disobedience and rebellion are serious crimes that can destroy the nine clans. The queen's request is also out of selfishness. After all, she is from the Xiao family. She can't bear the fact that the Xiao family has reached this generation. .

"Queen, you should know that disobedience and treason are serious crimes." Emperor Jing looked at the queen. Once, he reminded the queen to pay attention to the movements of the Xiao family.

However, the development of the matter to this point, coupled with what the queen said now, made Emperor Jing understand that the queen actually knew all along, and she just pretended not to know.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has been by your side for many years and has never asked you for anything. This time is also the last time. Only one bloodline is left, and one will do."

Knowing that Emperor Jing would not agree easily, the queen continued to ask, "The child is innocent, and the concubine does not ask the emperor to forgive everyone, but only asks the emperor to forgive a newborn child, and asks the emperor to agree to the concubine."

The queen thought about it, if the Xiao family failed, they would definitely be punished for the crime of treason. At that time, no matter whether they were male or female, old or young, they would not be able to escape the crime of ransacking their homes and destroying their families.

Her elder brother, Xiao Yuheng, has a newborn son. As long as the emperor allows, she will send someone to send that child away. Apart from the surname Xiao, he will not know what his family was like in the past.

Seeing that Emperor Jing didn't speak, the queen struggled to get up. Seeing her like this, Emperor Jing stretched out his hand to support her, "I promise you that I will leave a piece of blood for the Xiao family. From now on, he must stay away from the capital and never enter the capital."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." There is no way, it is always good to keep a bloodline, the empress looked at Emperor Jing gratefully, and thanked him.

"Your Majesty, I have one last request. I hope that after the death of the concubine, the emperor can find a separate cemetery for the concubine and bury the concubine. The concubine's mother's family made a big mistake, and the concubine entered the imperial mausoleum shamelessly." among."

Maybe it's because people are about to die, the queen's mind has never been so clear as it is now.

She knew in her heart that her mother's family had made a big mistake. If she hadn't been so seriously ill, she wouldn't have been able to keep her position, let alone enter the imperial mausoleum. This dispute is endless.

"I promise you." This time, Emperor Jing didn't hesitate at all. He could let the queen retain the queen's position after the Xiao family's rebellion, but it might be difficult to bury her in the imperial tomb.

Now, the queen himself proposed it, but he can push the boat along the way and fulfill the queen's intention.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Emperor Jing agreed so quickly, which made the Queen feel a little uncomfortable, but she knew that this matter was inevitable and would happen sooner or later.

"The concubine is afraid that time is running out. For all the things in the past, I ask the emperor to forgive the concubine. I am very satisfied to be the wife of the emperor. It's just that this harem has always been a place that attracts people's minds and eyes. It is the sin of a concubine to keep one's heart."

The empress said this, which made Emperor Jing feel a little bit emotional. When a person is about to die, his words are good, or the empress is in that state now.

"The past is all in the past." Looking at the queen, Emperor Jing said lightly, the past is in the past, and people live in the present.

The queen doesn't have much time, so there's no need to let the past continue to haunt her, let her go with peace of mind, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of the couple's friendship between the two for so many years.
