The concubine Jinghua first-class poisonous concubine

Chapter 698
Seeing that Ji Jin didn't speak, Empress Chen seemed to have thought of something, she slowly let go of the other's hand, "You...are you also... no, you are more rational than the prince, I believe you will take the overall situation as the top priority. Seriously! This is the last time I beg you, Master Ji!"

As the mother of a country, she spoke to a courtier in such a humble way, it was really the last hope in despair.What moved Ji Jin even more was her helplessness and disappointment as a mother.But this request, he was unable to agree.

"Empress, please forgive me for not being able to agree." Ji Jin had a guilty smile on his face, "I can't deceive my heart, if I really want to take the imperial physician's life, I can't do it either. Besides, the whereabouts of the Imperial Physician is unknown, and this humble minister has no ability to find her."

"Master Ji!" Du Yuanxiu who was behind her spoke nervously, her eyes seemed to say, at this moment, it's good to lie to the empress!

However, Ji Jin knew that such a lie didn't make much sense. In fact, the empress wanted to entrust the crown prince more.Ji Jin knows that once he agrees, he will not only use all means to make the crown prince return, but also assist him to maintain the prosperity of Chen Kingdom.Such a heavy responsibility is already beyond his reach.

If the prince had the heart to turn around, he would definitely not be able to do what he is doing now.When a person goes crazy because of love, there are only two ways. One is for God to take pity on him and let him get what he wants.The second is to fall into the abyss and never recover. Obviously, the prince now belongs to the second way.

Ji Jin even felt that even if Yun Shu came back, he would not be able to turn the prince back into the reasonable, benevolent, loyal and trustworthy person he used to be.Because some people, once they feel that they have been betrayed by everyone, they will use more intense ways to retaliate.It's like those who were killed in the court, or the empress who is now lying desolately in the huge cold palace.

The queen was slightly taken aback, Ji Jin seemed to see something else flickering in her eyes, but he was unwilling to delve into it, for fear that he would soften his heart.

Relentless?Hehe, I don't know when I changed so much. If it was him in the past, he would definitely use lies in exchange for the queen's safe departure as the side concubine hoped, and then follow his previous practice, what should I do? That's it.But the current self has become so indifferent, the things that were valued in the past are now like floating clouds in his hands, and he is unwilling to hold them tightly, even though he clearly sees them slowly spreading apart.

For the prince Dongfang Xu, Ji Jin was more emotional.I'm afraid that no one would have thought that the former outstanding prince would turn into this appearance, violent and selfish, more and more like Xiao Huang's shadow.He couldn't help but wonder what kind of expression Yun Shu would have on her face if she knew about the prince's change.

Empress Chen's hands trembled slightly, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, "Ruo, Ruo even you can't do anything...this palace and the crown prince...who else can we rely on..."

Ji Jin lowered his head slightly, "It's my servant who failed the late emperor's expectations."

Du Yuanxiu who was behind her only felt her breath stuck in her heart. She knew that Prime Minister Ji was by no means an irresponsible person, so she could only say that he was really disappointed in the court, no, in His Highness the Crown Prince.It's not that she hasn't heard about the affairs of the court, if even such talents are forced to leave, Du Yuanxiu dare not imagine what the future Chenhui will be like.

How can we restore the current situation?Du Yuanxiu has never felt so incompetent.As the concubine of the crown prince, she can't do anything!Apart from being Nian'er's concubine, she is absolutely useless!
The hands in the sleeves were slowly clenched, as if something quickly sprouted in her heart, spread, and gradually filled her entire mind.

"You don't...you want to be the speech officer too?" Even in the depths of the harem, the queen still has a little eyeliner in the court, but she thought before that as long as Prime Minister Ji was around, she could always support the sky.Now... the empress didn't dare to think about it, she just felt her eyes darken, and she coughed violently.

"Miss!"

Everyone surrounded him in shock, only to see that the pale brocade handkerchief was bright red.

With one breath raised in her throat, her face turned blue, and Du Yuanxiu didn't care about anything else, she pulled Dongfang Nian and leaned forward, "Mother, you have to hold on! Your Highness will come soon!"

"Hehe." There was a bleak smile on the queen's face, "No, he won't come." How could she not understand her own son, but she never thought that the relationship between her and the prince would become what it is today , nightmare, who will tell her that this is just a nightmare? !

"Mother, this concubine is going to invite the prince, you must..." Du Yuanxiu was about to turn around, but the queen pulled her sleeves, "Yuanxiu, come here, my mother has something to say to you."

Ji Jin has quietly retreated to the side, leaving the rest of the time to them.

"Mother..."

"Grandmother..." Dongfang Nian seemed to realize something, her little face was flushed, and she carefully stretched out her hand to grab one of the queen's fingers.

"Be good, Nian'er is good." She lovingly caressed the child's hair, and the memories seemed to have drifted far away. "Yuanxiu, don't follow the mother's old path, you must teach Nian'er well, he is the only hope of Chen Kingdom... The mother will draw up a will, and you will show it when it is critical. You must teach him, Beauty is a disaster! Beauty is a disaster! Cough cough..."

The violent cough echoed in the huge bedroom, and the queen's eyes suddenly stopped. Du Yuanxiu was startled by this appearance, "Mother queen?"

"Your majesty... have you come to pick up my concubine?" The queen suddenly looked into the air, with a smile on her face, "Really? Do you really want to go with this concubine? I thought, see you again I can't see you anymore..." Her hand was grasping in the void, and Dongfang Nian shrank into Du Yuanxiu's arms in fright, "Mother Concubine, the imperial grandmother is so scary..."

Du Yuanxiu had already burst into tears, and she also knew that the time had come. "Nian'er, don't let go of Grandma's hand and hold her."

"Nian'er?" The queen seemed to come back to her senses, her eyes drifted away and then fell on Dongfang Nian's small face, "Prince! My prince! It's all the fault of the empress, the fault of the empress, the empress shouldn't... shouldn't be forced You are like this..."

Dongfang Nian wanted to avoid those trembling hands, but was held tightly by Du Yuanxiu.

"Xu'er... Mother knows she's wrong, come back, come back..."

Her tears fell on Dongfang Nian's skin, she suddenly took a deep breath, her body twitched and froze there.

"Mother's queen? Mother's queen?" Du Yuanxiu called twice in his heart, and saw the woman on the couch's eyes lost focus, and she slowly fell to one side, until she swallowed her last breath, her eyes were tightly closed. Staring straight ahead, there was no more movement.

"Concubine Mu, what's wrong with the imperial grandmother?" Dongfang Nian was still being grabbed by the queen, but he felt that expression was very strange.Du Yuanxiu immediately stretched out her hand to cover his eyes, and brought him into her arms, "Your grandma... is asleep, Nian'er, don't wake up your grandma, do you understand? From now on...be obedient of."

"Nian'er understands, mother and concubine don't wake up the emperor's grandmother."

The father-in-law standing in the corner wiped away his tears, and then stood at the gate of the palace, "The empress...is dead." The voice echoed in the empty palace and did not dissipate for a long time.

With a click, the writing brush in Dongfang Xu's hand suddenly fell down, blackening the word Zun just written.He raised his head and looked out the window, the falling dead leaves, the voice seemed to reach his heart.

The door opened slowly with a creak, and the father-in-law from the Queen's Palace bent over and stepped in, "Your Highness...the Empress, died."

dead.

His heart was suffocated, and the father-in-law on the ground couldn't help but raised his head. As a slave, what can he say?His Highness, he grew up watching him grow up, and his relationship with the empress has always been so good, but now...now...

"The order will be passed on. Tomorrow, all civil and military officials will perform a condolence ceremony in plain clothes and remove the red tassels on their crowns. This will only last for three days. The whole country will ban slaughter for three days and stop music for three days. Afterwards, they will be buried in the imperial mausoleum on the body of the former emperor. Sideways." Dongfang Xu's voice was firm and powerful, but he couldn't help shaking when he spoke the last few words.

He knew that his mother and queen were always in love with his father, and he even had the idea for a moment to ask someone to build another tomb for burial in the imperial mausoleum.Since she did not allow herself to be with Shu'er, she also let her experience the unthinkable pain.But such a thought was only fleeting, and in the end, he still couldn't make such a decision.

Do you regret it?He didn't want to ask himself this question, even if he was given another chance, he wouldn't step into the queen's palace.

The father-in-law on the ground couldn't describe his feelings at this moment. Hearing the news of the queen's death, the prince never even shed tears, and he behaved so calmly.He even wondered if the crown prince would use a fit of rage to hide his sadness and regret.But nothing, everything ended with his last words, I saw the prince crumpled the rice paper on the table and threw it on the ground, picked up the brush and wrote again, and could no longer see any of his expressions clearly.

The father-in-law didn't know how he exited the study. He looked at the busy palace servants who were already hanging white silk around him, and couldn't breathe out because his breath was stuck in his throat.

Exactly why things have developed to this point, the former emperor has gone, the empress has also gone, and now no one can restrain His Highness the Crown Prince.Who dares to say that he made a typo?The father-in-law's eyes are gray, he is old, he is really old.

……

In the queen's palace, all the palace people knelt on the ground, crying in unison.

Du Yuanxiu had already put on a white dress, and knelt outside the bedroom together with Dongfang Nian, her expression showed no emotion.

Ji Jin also changed into white clothes and knelt among the crowd. He raised his eyes to look at the two lonely people in front of him, but he couldn't see the shadow of the prince.

"Where's the prince's brother?"

A voice sounded from behind, and many people looked back, only to see the teary-eyed little girl with anger on her face, "Where is the prince brother?!"
