Happy peasant girl

Chapter 512 Between victory and defeat (1)
"I, Tong Nanchuan, will repay this favor. It's just that one yard is worth one yard. I, Tong Nanchuan, will never sit idly by if the king plots to rebel and force the palace. It's just that the soldiers in the camp in the suburbs of Beijing must have a soldier talisman. In the hands of the Empress Dowager." The reason why Tong Nanchuan did not stand up for a long time was just to see the situation clearly. Although the possibility of King Ding winning now is high, he also knows that King Ding is not the most suitable emperor.

"That's right, without the soldier talisman, those soldiers wouldn't listen to us!" Wei Houye also said.

"Don't worry, you guys, we've already got the soldier talisman. Now you can follow us to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, kill the general, and then lead the 30 troops in the suburbs of Beijing to rescue the emperor who was trapped in the palace. Expose the conspiracy." At this moment, Xue Ying took out a soldier talisman from his pocket and handed it to Prince Wu, after all, among the four, Prince Wu was the most intimidating in front of the soldiers.

"How did you get this soldier talisman?" Zhang Xian was shocked. If the people in front of him had evil intentions, then the state of Chu would be doomed. How could they have such great abilities?

"Returning to Mr. Zaifu, the empress sent someone to steal the soldier talisman from the empress dowager's bedroom, and it was also given to the emperor by the empress, and finally the emperor gave it to Xue Ying!" Xue Ying explained.

"Why would the queen help steal the soldier talisman?" Several people were very puzzled.

The queen has been against the queen mother in the palace these years, against the concubines in the emperor's harem, against many officials in the court, and even against the emperor. How could she help the emperor in turn?
"Because the Queen already knew that King De was murdered by the conspiracy of Wei Zizhen, the name of Wei Ming, and Princess Ding, Wu Ling'er, that's why she helped the Emperor steal the soldier talisman." Xue Ying cleared up their doubts with a single sentence.

Now, Zhang Xian, Tong Nanchuan, Lord Wu and Lord Wei all understood what was going on.King De is the queen's greatest and only hope, and even her most beloved son. He was the most hopeful to sit on the throne of God, but died in the hands of two women.

And one of these two people is the daughter of Wei Ming, and the other is the concubine of King Ding, and the relationship between King Ding and the queen mother is very close, so the queen will definitely think that King De was murdered by Wei Ming, King Ding, and the queen mother. As for the queen who must report, she naturally would not let King Ding sit on the throne.

"Okay, now that we have the military talisman in hand, let's hurry to the camp!" Some things will not be clear until after the rebellion is quelled, Prince Wu thought, even if someone in the palace protects the emperor, the queen mother is not a vegetarian. She cannot be underestimated.

Here Zhang Xian took Die Er, Xue Ying and others to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, but everyone in the palace was in danger, the maids and eunuchs did not dare to move, they all hid in the house and did not dare to come out.

The night was getting darker and darker, and the fear in their hearts was also increasing. The atmosphere was always tense when major events happened in the palace, not to mention that King Ding had already sent people to surround the palace inside and out.

In the Fengyi Hall of the Queen Mother, it looks the same from the outside, but the lights inside are too bright.

The Empress Dowager of Chu State sat on the phoenix chair in the center of the hall, the Empress knelt in the hall, and Wu Ling'er stood beside the Empress Dowager.

"Queen, you never imagined that such a day would come! Humph, you have been arrogant for so many years, and you still don't give up. Tell me where the soldier talisman is, and don't force Ai to resort to extreme methods!" It was completely white, but the sinister look on his face still chilled people to the bone.

However, the queen who was kneeling on the ground was not afraid at all, and said with a sneer, "Extraordinary means? Hahaha, you conspired to kill my son. Why, now you think your own son is useless, so I want your son to kill me." Grandson sits in that position? Hmph, don't think about it!"

"Queen! The Ai family still called you queen because of the emperor's face. Now the emperor is seriously ill and it is difficult to survive tonight. If you tell me where the military amulet is, I can still save your natal family's life. If you don't If you tell it, don't blame Aijia for being cruel." The soldier amulet that the Queen Mother finally obtained was stolen, and it was at such an important moment, fortunately she had already found out that it was the Queen's person who took it away.

"The means are cruel? You are indeed cruel. Back then, the birth mother of Chu Linghe and Chu Xuan was poisoned to death by you personally with purple sweet potatoes, but you insisted on framing me. If I hadn't read your mind first , I am no longer a queen. There is also Concubine Yu and the child in her belly, as well as Chu Xingyao, the only flesh and blood of your grandson Chu Linghe. They were all killed by you, and you want to rely on me , It’s a pity that I killed Concubine Yu first. Old poisonous woman, do you think you can succeed in forcing the palace today? Hahaha, you are delusional, delusional!” Since the death of her son King De, the queen seems to be drawn away. Lost most of his soul, the whole person seemed a little crazy.

"Aijia doesn't want to talk nonsense with you, tell me quickly, where is the soldier talisman!" The Queen Mother's patience has been worn out, success or failure depends on one action, and the soldier talisman must not fall into the hands of others.

"I don't know, I don't know anything! Ah!" A trace of black blood suddenly flowed from the corner of the queen's mouth. When she handed the military talisman to Emperor Chu Huai, she made a promise, that is, to spare the lives of her natal family. .

No matter which side wins today, she doesn't want to see it anymore. After fighting for so long, she has nothing left, so she might as well go to accompany her son early.

The queen killed herself by biting the poison on the spot. The queen mother stood up suddenly from the phoenix chair in shock. If she was still sure of winning just now, then the death of the queen was like a wake-up call. out of her control.

At a moment's notice, the Empress Dowager moved to the emperor's bedroom, and the matter of the empress biting poison and killing herself was temporarily suppressed by her. When the general situation was accomplished, it was said that the empress died with the emperor, and no one knew the truth.

The palace guards were full of guards outside the bedroom. After the queen mother entered, there were only two court ladies and one eunuch guarding the emperor on the sick bed.

"How is the emperor?" The queen mother stopped half a foot away from the bed and asked.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the emperor has his last breath left. The imperial physicians said that he might not be able to wake up." The eunuch who had been standing by the bed knelt down and said.

The queen mother just snorted coldly, didn't say anything, then turned around and left, but after she left, a person who looked like an imperial doctor came in to feel the pulse of the emperor, and the queen mother had been standing outside the hall, watching coldly and getting more and more serious. night.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the emperor... the emperor... has passed away!" The imperial doctor cried loudly from the bedroom.

Following this cry, all the guards, maids, eunuchs, and civil and military officials waiting in the other hall all knelt down and cried loudly. The emperor passed away, and the people mourned. The sky of Chu Kingdom will change after all this night!

Wu Ling'er was the happiest when she got the news of the emperor's death. She finally took a big step forward, from a princess to a mother of a country. This transformation made her ecstatic and even wanted to laugh out loud. speak out.
