The queen bullies me every day

Chapter 388
Ever since Haisheng was killed by Empress Dowager Zhang, she hasn't been truly happy for a long time.

She smiles a lot, but that smile doesn't mean she's happy.

After all, Haisheng is her own son.

No matter how wrong he did, no matter how wrong he was, the fact that he was connected by blood with him could never be changed.

Who is born a villain?
If it wasn't for the mistakes in the past, how could Haisheng stumble into such a rascal in the mundane world?

However, when things have come to this, who can Queen Mother Zhang blame?
If it wasn't for Dragon Mother's rescue in the past, Haisheng would have died five months ago, how could he have survived for the next twenty years?

Today is the birthday of Dragon Mother, and there is a joyful banquet in the palace.

Taking advantage of such a happy scene, Empress Dowager Zhang simply drank a few glasses of wine, just to get drunk, hoping that all the pain would turn into a dream after waking up.

She drank wine one after another, Xuan Jue and Chu Jin took turns to persuade her, she just smiled and said: "The Ai family is happy, drink two more glasses of happy wine, it's okay, I can't get drunk."

She smiled, with bitterness in her smile, Xuan Jue looked unpleasant.

Chu Jin excused himself to leave the meeting because of convenience, called Liu Qi outside the door, and said, "The queen mother is drunk, let those singing and dancing girls retreat, and seeing that it is getting late, let the ministers also Let's go back to the mansion. The bustle of Tonghua Terrace has stopped, and the Queen Mother can't find a reason to be greedy."

Liu Qi knew how to do it.When Chu Jin turned back to Tonghua Terrace again, all he could see was leftovers.

The singing and dancing were stopped, the officials dispersed, and the Empress Dowager Zhang walked slowly towards the outsider with the support of the green bamboo with a three-point drunkenness.

Xuan Jue quickly caught up with her, took off his cloak and put it on Empress Dowager Zhang's shoulders, "Mother, it's cold at night, you shouldn't be exposed to the wind while drinking, you should protect yourself."

Empress Dowager Zhang patted her hand on the cloak, nodded and smiled in response, but did not speak.

Xuan Jue and Chu Jin followed out of the palace, and only waited for Empress Dowager Zhang to get on the sedan chair safely, and then urged the palace servants to walk slowly on the road before watching the sedan chair slowly disappear into the boundless night.

"Does the Emperor feel that the Empress Dowager is suffering?" Chu Jin asked softly, holding Xuan Jue's shoulder.

Xuan Jue's light brown eyes flashed like moonlight in the dark night, "Haisheng is the mother's own flesh and blood after all. For the sake of Dazhao's country and the stability of the government, the mother queen did her duty as a queen mother to kill the rebels, but at the same time she also lost her life." In order to fulfill her duties as a mother, she personally sent her son to a dead end. How could she not be bitter in her heart. It's a pity that everything is my fault."

"The emperor is talking nonsense." Chu Jin sighed: "That day that happened in a flash, what can you do?"

"Zhen" Xuan Jue hesitated to speak, shook his head and smiled wryly: "Forget it, it's nothing." Then he took Chu Jin's shoulders and went to Chaoyang Palace together in a sedan chair.

He would never tell Chu Jin that dragon's blood has the magical effect of bringing the dead back to life.

As long as that person dies of injuries before his lifespan is over, a drop of his blood can bring people back to life.

The knife in Chu Jin's back in the past, it was precisely because the blood from his palm fell on Chu Jin's wound that her life was saved.

That day, Xuanjue saw Haisheng die under the dagger of Empress Dowager Zhang with his own eyes. He had the ability to save Haisheng's life.

In the past, he would have saved his life.

It's just that at that moment, Xuan Jue's mind was full of the evil things Haisheng did to Chu Jin. If it wasn't for Haisheng, Chu Jin would not have suffered those pains, and would not have lost their child.

So that day, Xuan Jue watched Hai Sheng die without doing anything.

Because of this, he felt ashamed of Queen Mother Zhang from the bottom of his heart.

But where is there a completely selfless person in this world?
If so, I am afraid that he has already ascended to immortality and became a bodhisattva worshiped by the world, so why bother to suffer so much in the world?

Speaking of bitterness, Empress Dowager Zhang, who returned to Xianshou Palace today, was full of wine, and it was bitterness to her heart.

She tried her best to appear calm and breezy in front of Qingzhu, and after Qingzhu finished serving her to wash, she said that she was sleepy and ordered Qingzhu to step back.

And half a cup of tea time after Qing Zhu left, Empress Dowager Zhang shrank under the quilt, clutching a red bellyband tightly, crying so hard that she couldn't make a sound.

That bellyband was woven for Haisheng by her in the past.

She has done many things for Xuan Jue, but for Hai Sheng, this is the only one.

She stuck the bellyband to her heart, and couldn't help murmuring the words 'I'm sorry'.

Her voice was soft and powerless, as if it was floating in the air as soon as she uttered it.

Later that night, for some reason, she just hugged the bellyband, half-sat on the couch and fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up again, it was still dark outside.

With the help of the dim moonlight, Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at the copper drain on the table, it is now the third watch.

The tears on her cheeks had dried, she put the apron properly on the bottom layer of the mahogany wardrobe, and then felt thirsty, so she went to the warm seat and poured a cup of water.

Just drink water, no sleepiness at all.Empress Dowager Zhang glanced out of the Ling window and saw that the flowers in the courtyard were blooming beautifully in the night, so she put on a small gown and left the room, and strolled in the courtyard.

It was a cloudless night, and the moon and stars were sparse, illuminating the gravel road extremely brightly.

But Empress Dowager Zhang was old after all, her eyes looked out, as if everything around her was covered with a layer of misty white veil.

She walked tremblingly, stayed in the courtyard for a while and then returned to the bedroom.

Suddenly, his foot was caught by the road platform, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

There was a loud bang of 'dong', the forehead hit the ground, and the person immediately lost consciousness.

When the palace servants got up at night, they found her lying in the courtyard covered in blood. They shouted a few times in fright, and lit up the candles in the entire Xianshou Palace.

At that time, Chu Jin and Xuan Jue, who were in Chaoyang Palace, had already embraced each other and fell asleep. The door of the bedroom was cracked, and the first sound that came into their ears when they woke up was Liu Qi's urgent call, "Your Majesty! Empress Dowager!" ! The queen mother fell down in Xianshou Palace, and she is unconscious now! Go and take a look."

Liu Qi didn't say too many words, and only after Xuan Jue and Chu Jin arrived did he realize that Queen Mother Zhang was seriously injured.

The area of ​​the ulcer on her forehead was huge, and even the white bones could be seen in the deepest part.

All the imperial physicians from the imperial hospital were recruited back, and Wu Yang knelt outside the Xianshou Palace.

The court judge couldn't stop kowtowing to Xuanjue, only saying that Queen Mother Zhang was seriously injured and there was no way to recover.

Qing Zhu fluttered in front of Queen Mother Zhang's bed and cried endlessly, and Chu Jin couldn't help crying.

"How could you run into the courtyard when the Queen Mother is sleeping?" Xuan Jue asked Qingzhu with a trembling voice.

Qingzhu choked up and replied, "The empress dowager's mood is not quite right since she returned to the palace today. It's all because of the slaves! The slaves clearly saw that something was wrong, but they didn't insist on staying with the empress dowager to take care of them! The slaves deserve death! If the empress dowager, her slaves and servants will go to the Nine Springs to make amends to the empress!"

The night is thick.

There was a lot of crying inside and outside the Xianshou Palace, as if the death of Queen Mother Zhang had been sealed.

Among all the crying, Xuan Jue was the only one sitting in front of Empress Dowager Zhang's couch with a calm expression, holding her hand tightly.
