Palace scheming: Empress Leng Palace

Chapter 308

The lights in the imperial study room were kept on all night, and the Empress Dowager sent people over to look at it a few times, and they all told her that the emperor was still working and had not returned to the palace to rest.

The queen mother had already heard about the news of the queen's departure from the palace. The emperor was so anxious that he vomited blood and fainted, which made the queen mother really anxious.


Today, the world is unstable, and there are constant internal and external troubles. One of the Empress Dowager's two sons did not know whether he was alive or dead on the battlefield, and the other suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma. This made her almost grey, and her whole body became older.


"Queen Mother, you should rest earlier. The imperial doctor said that the emperor fainted because of overwork and anxiety. Now after the diagnosis and treatment, there is no serious problem. If you worry about your heart without sleep, I am afraid that even you will be exhausted. It's gone." After Fang Fei waited for the eunuch who had been notified to go out, she distressedly persuaded the queen mother who refused to rest, and she was also worried.


This is already the fourth time. Since the time of Haishi, the Empress Dowager sent someone to invite the emperor to return to the palace to rest. Until now, the emperor still insisted on finishing the work before resting on the grounds that the backlog of official affairs had not been dealt with.

In two more hours it will be morning time, if the emperor does not rest, then he will not sleep all night.


Such an emperor is really worrying. Although he didn't hear him mention the queen's name, everyone knew that the emperor was deliberately torturing himself.


For three consecutive days, he asked all the guards in the palace to go out non-stop to look for the queen, and even once asked all the Habayashi soldiers in the palace to go out to look for it. Fortunately, the queen mother came forward to stop it in time, so he woke up soberly. Lived the madness of the emperor who almost lost his mind.


However, although the emperor is sober, his actions have become more distressing.

The first thing he did after waking up was to ask if the queen had been found. When he heard that the queen and the Ming and Qing kings had disappeared at all, his rage almost burned down the entire palace.


No one in the palace had ever seen the emperor look so crazy. At that moment, he seemed to go crazy and ran to every place the queen had been to, searched every palace, walked through every garden, Even the gazebo and small garden where the empress stayed, he never gave up.


Until the soles of his pair of luxurious dragon boots fell off in one day, he didn't feel it, just murmured the name of the queen in a daze, unwilling to believe that the queen abandoned him and quietly followed the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The king leaves the palace.


After that day, the emperor was completely devoid of energy, as if all his strength had been exhausted, he was lying in the Golden Phoenix Palace for a while, refusing to go anywhere, refusing to say a word.


On that day, the emperor failed to go to court for the first time since he ascended the throne.

The queen mother came to persuade him many times, but Sihao didn't see any improvement. Except for his silent treatment, there was no way to persuade him to cheer up and go to court again.


Reluctantly, the queen mother was so anxious that she stayed up all night, and secretly sent people to inquire about the news of the queen and the king of Ming and Qing, but the news they brought back was that the queen and the king of Ming and Qing seemed to disappear out of thin air, and there was no trace of them at all.


Fortunately, at the evening of the third day, the emperor had already figured it out, and withdrew all the people sent out to the palace to track down the whereabouts of the queen, and calmly returned to court as if nothing had happened, and seriously discussed state affairs with the ministers, without saying a word. mention the queen.


Until now, the emperor didn't close his eyes for a moment, the empress dowager sent people to ask several times, although the emperor had food, but he ate very little, almost just took two mouthfuls in a coping manner, and then asked people to withdraw.

"Ah!" Situ Xianyu sighed heavily, and the hair on her head gradually became thicker, and Fang Fei was also secretly shocked when she saw it in her eyes.


"Fangfei, tell me, is it because the Ai family has committed too many sins and is now receiving retribution?" Situ Xianyu sat down in front of the dressing table slowly, reached out and took off the hairpiece that she had worn for more than ten years. Jin Bu Yao in the shape of a phoenix wing, his eyes staring blankly at the pair of phoenix wings, with a sad expression on his face.


Fang Fei's heart tightened, seeing that the Empress Dowager's expression would be gloomy every time she saw the golden hairpin, and now after many years, this was the first time she asked herself like this.

But what can she persuade her?
It has been more than ten years, even if everything can be done again, so what?


"Peizhen, you must be blaming me. Not only did you take your back seat, but you also watched you being framed but didn't help you. Alas, Peizhen, you know, I have always envied you, and even had a Time was jealous of you.

I'm jealous of you, you obviously don't fight for anything, but you get everything I want.The emperor loves and spoils you, the servants respect and protect you, even Han You is willing to die for you. ".


Lightly stroking every stripe on the Bu Yao, Situ Xianyu's eyes became extremely misty, as if he couldn't see clearly whether it was a golden hairpin in front of him, or the beautiful woman with a gentle smile.


"Queen Mother, it's getting late, don't think too much, go to bed early." Fang Fei gently snatched the golden hairpin from Situ Xianyu's hand, and gently put it in the brocade wooden box on the stage for her Then, he helped her comb her half-white hair carefully, and gently persuaded her.


She couldn't let go of what happened back then.

Not only the Queen Mother, but she still can't forgive herself for listening to the Queen Mother's order and watching Concubine Zhen die unjustly.


All along, she has personally watched the Empress Dowager and Concubine Zhen grow up together, they are like sisters, entered the palace one after another, and both have won the emperor's favor and love for a while.But she didn't expect that when the emperor's eyes gradually became only concubine Zhen, the empress dowager's loneliness was so obvious that she felt deep sympathy.


However, she was gratified that the Queen Mother always cared about this sisterhood, and the harmony with Concubine Zhen was always as good as before, which was enviable.

In the past, one of them was a queen and the other was a favorite concubine. They loved a man at the same time, and they were as close as sisters. They helped each other in the palace, and they envied everyone in the palace.

It's a pity that she always misjudged people's hearts.
