Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 281 The Last Wish

The Empress Dowager coughed like this for a long time, and finally coughed up blood, and passed out. Doctor Fang rushed over in a hurry. After such a diagnosis, Huo Mingzhu told the truth that she was powerless, so she sentenced the Empress Dowager. destiny.

When the emperor Baili Jingqi heard about this, he hurried over.

Because he knew that the empress dowager supported Baili Zonglu to fight for the throne, he did not hesitate to put him as the prince behind. The love in the past was all fake, and she did it to make himself feel better.

Therefore, after Baili Jingqi ascended the throne, he did not release the Empress Dowager.

After Baili Jingqi arrived at Renshou Palace, the Empress Dowager was still in a coma, and Huo Mingzhu was still sitting outside the palace at this time, Imperial Physician Fang was reporting the situation of the Empress Dowager to her, when seeing Baili Jingqi, he hurriedly bowed down.

Baili Jingqi waved his hand to let people go down, then turned to Huo Mingzhu and said, "How?"

"There's no way to recover." Huo Mingzhu told the truth.

When Baili Jingqi heard this, pain flashed across his face.

He always thought that the empress dowager really loved his grandson, but he never thought that she was fully aware of Baili Zonglu's ambitions, and was still secretly helping Baili Zonglu to take his throne away.

But in the final analysis, she is the only relative who has made Baili Jingqi feel warm, and she is leaving now, how can she not be sad.

Huo Mingzhu looked at Baili Jingqi with a calm face, but she knew very well in her heart that Baili Jingqi didn't have a calm face in her heart, but the empress dowager was his own grandmother, not to mention what happened in the past, it was the empress dowager who loved her. She doesn't like her, and she doesn't even want to stay here. Besides, Baili Jingqi is about to experience the pain of bereavement, and she doesn't want to get in touch with him too much, lest he think she loves him, so she said: "This time With the emperor sitting in town, the Ai family naturally doesn't need to stay any longer, and drive back to the palace."

Baili Jingqi didn't say anything, just watched Huo Mingzhu leave before entering the empress dowager's bedroom.

The empress dowager's face was withered and yellow, and she had already woken up. When she saw Baili Jingqi, there was still a gleam of light in those dim eyes, and she struggled to get up.

Baili Jingqi hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and let the Empress Dowager hold it.

"emperor."

"Does the empress dowager feel uncomfortable?" Baili Jingqi didn't know what to say. Facing such an empress dowager, no matter how much resentment he had, it disappeared at this moment. can be thrown away.

The Empress Dowager suddenly shed tears, took Baili Jingqi's hand and said, "If the Ai family knew, if the Ai family had known..." She didn't say any more, but sobbed softly After a few times, he raised his head to look at Baili Jingqi with a smile and said: "The Ai family is very pleased, Jing Qi is a good emperor, the blessing of Dayong, even if the Ai family dies, he can rest in peace."

What the Empress Dowager said made Baili Jingqi feel very uncomfortable, he really wanted to ask, if Baili Zonglu were the emperor, would the Empress Dowager be happier, in the end, he still didn't ask.

The Empress Dowager didn't know Baili Jingqi's thoughts, but continued: "The Ai family always thinks that Jing Qi is so smart, he will definitely be a wise king."

"Empress Dowager, do you really think so?" Baili Jingqi still couldn't hold back.

When the Empress Dowager saw Baili Jingqi's appearance, she knew it, and he still knew it, so she sighed and said, "The Ai family has just seen that the emperor is different, and it has always been a fluke. The emperor will not know, but the emperor still knows."

Now that the words have been spoken, Baili Jingqi doesn't want to be silent anymore, he really wanted to know if the Empress Dowager thinks that such an incompetent prince like him is irrelevant.

"Empress Dowager, in your opinion, is I such an incompetent person?" Baili Jingqi asked.

The Empress Dowager shook her head: "The Ai family has always known that you are a wise king, but you are no match for the Tartars from Mobei. The Ai family is worried. If the land of Dayong falls into the hands of the Tartars, the common people What should I do, your uncle is ambitious, but if he becomes the emperor of Dayong, even if the Tartars from Mobei come to attack, with your uncle around, it will not be so easy for the Tartars to succeed."

The Empress Dowager said so many words in one breath, obviously she couldn't take it anymore, she couldn't help panting heavily.

Hearing these words, Baili Jingqi felt a little better in his heart, just like the silly prince Baili Jingqi shown by his previous behavior of hiding his strength would indeed make the Empress Dowager worry.

Baili Jingqi said: "The empress dowager probably doesn't know how the uncle will deal with me."

"If Prince Duan promises, he will definitely keep you safe for the rest of your life." The Empress Dowager finally breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at Baili Jingqi with a pair of kind eyes, she was thinking, if it wasn't for Baili Jingqi With Qi's existence, she would have died a long time ago. In her life, the only person she would be bound by is this poor grandson.

Baili Jingqi sighed and said, "The empress dowager trusts the uncle so much."

"What's the use of talking..." The Empress Dowager suddenly became sad.

Of course, Baili Jingqi knew that the empress dowager felt uncomfortable because of the thought of Baili Zonglu's death. He finally felt a little relieved, but now it has calmed down. After all, Baili Zonglu is the son of the empress dowager. In her mind, even if Baili Zong's laws were wrong, most of them were forced.

Forget it, who is right and who is wrong has always been just a standpoint.

"Your Majesty, Aijia knows that Aijia's days are numbered." The Empress Dowager said suddenly.

Baili Jingqi frowned: "The empress dowager must not say such depressing words."

"The Ai family's words are not words of frustration. The Ai family knows Ai's body and is afraid that it will die. However, the Ai family still has a wish unfulfilled." The Empress Dowager looked at Baili Jingqi expectantly.

Baili Jingqi said: "The Empress Dowager just say so."

"Huo Mingzhu persecuted the former emperor so much that Prince Duan was forced to rebel. Now, she holds a lot of power, and the Pingyang Marquis Mansion is even more powerful. If she colludes with the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, wouldn't Dayong Jiangshan become the Lin family's master?" , Don’t let them take advantage of it, Your Majesty.” The Empress Dowager kept talking, saying that Huo Mingzhu must be eradicated, and there must be no trouble left behind.

Baili Jingqi smiled and said: "The Empress Dowager is too worried, the Empress Dowager is only thinking of the common people, she will never fall into such a matter of disregarding the safety of the common people."

The Empress Dowager stared at Baili Jingqi with her eyes wide open, and after a while, she said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, are you even mesmerized by her?"

Afterwards, the Empress Dowager thought again, Huo Mingzhu had already confused Baili Jingqi before, and then she remembered what she had heard the court ladies gossiping about before: the emperor and the empress dowager are locked in the bedroom , I don't know what happened, I heard that the emperor wants to let the queen mother be the queen.

Thinking of these words, the Empress Dowager trembled with anger: "Your Majesty, are you really bewitched by that witch?"

When Baili Jingqi heard the words, all the smiles on his face were restrained, he looked at the Empress Dowager lightly and said, "Who is gossiping in front of the Empress Dowager?"

"Your Majesty, I promise to Aijia that I will eradicate Huo Mingzhu." How could the Empress Dowager let Baili Jingqi go, her only wish was for Baili Jingqi to agree to this request.

Who knows, Baili Jingqi shook his head lightly and said: "The Empress Dowager, I love the Empress Dowager dearly."

In Baili Jingqi's world, no matter how important the Empress Dowager is, she is no more important than Huo Mingzhu. For Huo Mingzhu, he dares to fight against the world, and what will happen to the Empress Dowager if he rejects him?

The Empress Dowager stared blankly at Baili Jingqi, as if overwhelmed by his words just now.

For a long time, the Empress Dowager trembled all over, pointed at Baili Jingqi and said, "Foolish, ridiculous, she is your mother, she is your mother."

"She is already my person, and I have given her innocent body to me, so I will protect her for the rest of my life." Baili Jingqi said extremely firmly.

Although these words were not as straightforward as Huo Mingzhu's, they were similar, but Huo Mingzhu didn't believe it, but the Empress Dowager believed it. She had seen with her own eyes how Baili Jingqi wanted to win Huo Mingzhu's smile. Did so many incredible things.

Even though she remembered it just now, she didn't take it seriously. She thought that Baili Jingqi at that time was hiding his heart, maybe he did it deliberately to deceive others, but now she heard that it was not the case. The more the queen mother thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't help accusing: "Nie Zhan, you are simply confused. Now you are the emperor, and all the women in the world belong to you. Why do you insist on having that demon girl? She will harm Dayong Jiangshan. It will kill you."

In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, both the former emperor and Baili Zonglu died because of her, if Baili Jingqi persisted in his obsession, the next one to die would be Baili Jingqi.

Baili Jingqi didn't want to stay any longer, so he stood up and said: "I still have important matters to deal with, the Empress Dowager can take care of her body at ease, don't think too much, and drive back to the palace."

"Wait, Your Majesty, wait, you can't do this, Your Majesty." The empress dowager's words didn't stop Baili Jingqi from walking. The empress dowager was anxious for a moment and wanted to get up and stop Baili Jingqi from leaving. Let him agree to her request, but he got up too quickly and fell off the bed.

Baili Jingqi heard the sound from the bedroom, knew that the Empress Dowager had fallen to the ground, and couldn't stop crying, and then heard the palace maid yelling, come, the Empress Dowager vomited blood...

He also just stood there indifferently, afterward, Baili Jingqi told Cao An: "Take care of the Empress Dowager, let the imperial doctor wait here." After saying that, he left.

That night, the Empress Dowager died.

When the news reached Baili Jingqi's ears, Baili Jingqi didn't show much expression, just nodded lightly, and then stared at the night outside the window in a daze.

Huo Mingzhu was also the first to receive the news of the death of the Empress Dowager. She sighed, but did not feel too uncomfortable.

Seeing Huo Mingzhu like this, Laifu said: "The empress dowager, I heard that before the empress dowager died, the emperor asked the general to punish the empress dowager." , I couldn't hold it back, so I just said it.

Huo Mingzhu was not surprised at all, she knew that the empress dowager hated her, she glanced at Laifu, and thought to herself, he was indeed someone Su Hui thought was good, with such a similar temperament, she didn't know how he was in the palace. Survival in the middle, so simple.

"The Ai family knows, don't mention this matter again." Huo Mingzhu didn't want to know how Baili Jingqi answered, she was not afraid of knowing, but felt that there was no need to know, if Baili Jingqi wanted her life, How could she let him succeed so easily.

When she was alone, Huo Mingzhu kept practicing. Although there was only one layer of internal energy left in the past, Huo Mingzhu would not give up. Now it is better to have only one layer left, compared to the past with no internal energy Speaking of it, it's much better, which shows that her internal strength is sealed by others, rather than disappearing.
