Rebirth of the famous family

Chapter 597
The queen mother has been hit hard repeatedly. I heard that all the Zuo family members have been imprisoned and only waited for Marquis Anyuan to be escorted back to Beijing to punish their nine clans according to the imperial decree. As the queen mother, she can only watch her relatives die like this. Dazed and dizzy, even after fainting, there is no peace, the dream is full of blood.After two days of tossing like this, I saw that I couldn't hold it any longer.

A group of imperial physicians from the Emperor Lingtai Hospital stayed in the Zhengsheng Palace for two days. Although the medicine was poured down, the effect was not great.The queen mother also seemed to feel that her time was approaching, so she pulled the emperor to her side that night, and begged: "Emperor, this is all a heart disease, don't embarrass the doctors anymore..."

Although the emperor felt that the empress dowager cared more about rights and honor than his son, but there was still a bond between mother and child. At this moment, seeing the mother who had always worked hard and was full of energy was lying on the bed, her complexion was gray, she was exhaling more and breathing in more. Little, as if he would die at any time, he felt sad, holding the Queen Mother's hand, and said: "The queen mother's meaning is clear to the son. The mother gave birth to a son. Although the son became the emperor, the mother couldn't enjoy it." The authority that the queen mother should have. Why does the son not want to keep Anyuanhou and the Zuo family, but the son is forced to do nothing about it, there is no way, the son can only try to keep the mother from being involved, and pardon the seventh prince and concubine. Think more, rest assured to recuperate..."

When the queen mother heard the words, she grabbed the emperor's hand tightly, and said: "No, emperor, there is a way! Marquis Anyuan has not yet entered the capital, and it will take at least half a month to spread the news of the capital to the frontier. The emperor, if ... What if the capital changes again in the past ten days, the crown prince plots to usurp the throne, and forces the palace to rebel?"

If the prince's plot to rebel against the palace can be confirmed, if the fifth prince can ascend the throne before Zuo's entire family is beheaded, if the prince becomes a prisoner, if Marquis Anyuan can seize the last chance to set a new record for the new emperor's enthronement... Thanks to the merits, the case of Marquis Anyuan's treason may be overturned again, and maybe the Zuo family will not be exterminated by the nine clans.

How could she just watch her family be destroyed, this is her last hope...

After the queen mother finished speaking, she stared at the emperor intently, her face was also stained with an abnormal blush because of this hope and expectation, nervousness and excitement, reflecting the bright eyes and thin face, it looked a little weird.

The emperor pursed his lips when he heard the words, and the empress dowager burst into tears, saying: "Emperor, the Ai family is expensive to be the empress dowager. If you can't even keep your natal family, the Ai family will die with shame, and you will have no face to face your parents and relatives when you go underground."

Seeing that the queen mother let go of his hand, the emperor fell down on the bed, tears streamed down his face, his heart was pierced, and he said: "The queen mother rests at ease, and my son will come to visit the mother after changing his son."

After he finished speaking, he got up and left, but the queen mother breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words.A moment later, an eunuch came in with a pastel soup bowl, and he cautiously lowered his head to the bed. Madam Zuo stepped forward to take the soup bowl, which contained the Queen Mother's soup medicine. Her touch temperature was just right, and she was about to Turning around to serve the Empress Dowager with the medicine, she saw the eunuch's face was pale and his expression was extremely frightened.

This eunuch is an old man who serves the Queen Mother. His name is Fuming. He is calm and trustworthy on weekdays. ?”

Fuming trembled when he heard the words, stammered and looked left and right, as if there was something in the room that dared not speak, he hesitated for a long time and only said nothing, seeing him like this, the left mother became more suspicious and cold Said: "What the hell is going on! Hurry up and say it!"

The situation here has alarmed the Empress Dowager, she frowned and saw that Fu Ming couldn't match the eyes of Zuo Momo and the Empress Dowager, then she knelt on the ground with a plop, and said, "Report to the Empress Dowager, slave... the slave just held the soup bowl I came to the hall and saw... I saw a white shadow swaying in the hall, and I heard a lot of crying..."

"Shut up!" Zuo Nanny suddenly interrupted him, but the voice was a bit sharp, echoing in the empty hall, making people feel more gloomy, just as a gust of wind blew into the inner hall from nowhere, shaking the bed curtain He Dengying flickered, Fuming looked around in horror, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting in a panic, "I didn't kill you, it wasn't me, don't come to me! Don't come to me!"

The Empress Dowager lying on the bed saw Fuming kneeling on the ground, his face was as white as paper, trembling non-stop, his eyes were full of horror as he looked around, as if he really saw something dirty.Infected by this emotion, she also looked around in horror, stretched out her hand to take pictures, and shouted with sharp eyes, "Hurry up, drive them away! Aijia is not afraid! Qiaoxin, Qiaoxin!" She stretched out her hand and shouted Looking at Nanny Zuo, she trembled.

Ever since the Queen Mother executed nearly a hundred maids and eunuchs in Cheng'an Palace, rumors about the fraudulent corpse of the Crown Princess have sparked new rumors in the palace. Some people say that the Crown Princess died wronged, and the soul of her innocence has never left, and she is in this palace.Now these court ladies and eunuchs also died unjustly, so they served in front of the princess, wandering around the palace every night crying, demanding justice.

Some people said that they heard crying in Cheng'an Palace in the middle of the night, and some people said that they saw ghosts moving in Zhengsheng Palace, etc., and so on.

Although the Empress Dowager gave orders not to spread rumors, she would be killed with a stick once she found out, but even so, it still couldn't stop the fear in people's hearts. In addition, the Empress Dowager was ill again and was haunted by nightmares every night, so she couldn't rest. She was originally a hale and hearty People, seeing that they are dying in less than a month, those rumors seem to have been corroborated, and they spread more and more clearly.

The Empress Dowager had heard these rumors, and she had ghosts in her heart, so she naturally felt that ghosts were at work.Although I tried my best to keep myself calm and not afraid, but some things got into my heart, how can I drive them away easily?In addition, she thought about it every day and had dreams at night, the more she was afraid of dreaming, the more haunted she would be by the nightmare, which made her more nervous and frightened day by day, and her dreams became more restless. It is a frightened bird, and the face changes when it hears the ghost.

This is a vicious cycle where medicines and stones can't cure it. It has become the Empress Dowager's heart disease. She only blames her for not being cruel enough and killing people with a poisonous heart, but she can't bear the condemnation of conscience.Nanny Zuo had already ordered the Zhengsheng Palace not to speak nonsense, and for this reason three palace servants were executed, how could Fu Ming, who is normally calm, say such things in front of the Queen Mother.

Seeing the queen mother suddenly collapsed, she raised her bony hand like a bamboo joint to grab herself, and called her name frantically. Looking at such a queen mother under the flickering light, the left mother felt a chill.

She frightened for a moment, then put down the soup, stepped forward and held the Queen Mother's hand, said a few words of consolation, and ordered someone to come in and drag Fu Ming down to death with a stick.When Fuming heard that he was going to be executed with a stick, he acted as if he hadn't heard it, he didn't beg for mercy, and he didn't respond at all. He was dragged out by the two eunuchs, but he just stared behind the queen mother in horror, and said, "Mianxin , It's a cotton core! Don't catch me, I didn't kill you, no, I'm sorry for you..."

Before he finished yelling, he was gagged and dragged on, but the Empress Dowager glanced back, threw herself into Zuo Nanny's arms and shivered.Seeing her like this, Zuo Momo persuaded the Queen Mother to drink the medicine, thinking that there was medicine for calming the nerves in the soup.

It took half an hour for the queen mother to fall asleep in a daze, but she woke up suddenly after only half an hour of sleep, covered in cold sweat.At that time, Nanny Zuo could not leave, and Hongwen, the maid of honor, was by her side. Seeing that the Queen Mother woke up sweating, she hurriedly twisted the hot handkerchief to clean her face.The queen mother let her move blankly, and suddenly asked, "Who is the cotton core?"

Hongwen was stunned for a moment, but she didn't dare to answer. The queen mother suddenly stared at her and said sharply, "Say!"

Hongwen trembled in shock, and then hurriedly said: "Back to the Queen Mother, Mianxin is a maid on duty in Cheng'an Palace, and she and Fuming are from the same town. Mianxin was executed by the Queen Mother, Fuming did not plead for Mianxin, Xu is That's why I was uneasy, and then I spoke nonsense and disturbed the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is the birth mother of the Son of Heaven, and is blessed by the gods and Buddhas..."

The queen mother could no longer hear what Hongwen said, so she thought that the cotton core was also one of the maids who were executed by her, but she didn't know if she was among the grimaces that flashed in her dream just now, which one was her? .

The queen mother thought about going to see Hongwen again, but saw two lines of blood coming out of her eyes, just like those people she had killed in her dream, the queen mother widened her eyes in shock to see , the blood didn't disappear, even her mouth and nostrils began to bleed.

The queen mother suddenly sat up, screamed and used all her strength to avoid the bed, waved her hands, and screamed in her mouth, "Don't come here, don't come here, it's your fate, you shouldn't have seen it, no Blame me! Ah!"

Hongwen didn't understand why the queen mother suddenly went crazy, and she wanted to help her in panic, but in the eyes of the queen mother, she only saw her hand with pointed armor stretched out to kill her, and Hongwen's hand just touched her shoulder. , she tried her best to get rid of her, knelt down on the bed, kowtowed and shouted, "Concubine Hui, I didn't mean it...Liu Jieyu, don't blame me, I was forced to help...Mei Changzai, you I didn't kill that child, it wasn't me... You all don't come here, all go! Go!"

The empress dowager's behavior made Hongwen pale. If the empress dowager came to her senses and knew that she had seen such a gaffe, how could she let her go? Physician!"

She said without waiting for the Queen Mother to respond, turned around and ran out.Seeing the ghost gone, the queen mother suddenly became quiet for a while, but seeing the emptiness of the hall, she felt even more frightened. Suddenly, dozens of familiar and strange ghosts appeared in front of her eyes as if out of thin air. Those women who entered the palace with her, those who served the late emperor together have long been the stepping stones for her to reach the pinnacle of power, those women who have been left behind by her for many years, and can no longer remember their faces or even their lives. It was so clear that they reached out and swung at her.

The Queen Mother couldn't help yelling "Ah", then her eyes widened, her face was full of horror and she fell straight on the bed.

When Zuo Momo and others rushed in, what she saw was this horrifying scene. Zuo Momo saw that the Empress Dowager's expression was still, and her eyelids were wide open, but she was still motionless. She threw herself to the side of the bed in shock, and tremblingly touched her face. The empress dowager's nostrils froze, then she fell to her knees and cried, "The empress dowager is dead!"
