The maid is the queen

Chapter 270 Finale (2)

"A lot of things can't be explained clearly. When Xu grows up, he will understand, but Xu has to remember one thing, Xu is an older brother, and Xu can't be sad with his sister and brother, no matter what happens You have to be strong, you know?"

"Yeah." He nodded obediently.

I went to another room, and he followed, holding my hand and never letting go.

Then I went back to the room and saw that Yan'er didn't cry anymore, and was having fun with Xi'er. The baby said happily: "Mother, Xi'er really has a way. He taught Yan'er to write, and Yan'er stopped crying." .”

"Okay, let's make dumplings."

Xu remained silent until he washed his feet and went to bed.

After blowing out the candle, I could only hear the whistling of the wind outside, and Xu said, "Mother, where is the father? Why is the father not by the mother's side, why doesn't the father protect the mother?" ?”

These words made me sore, and I wanted to cry.

"Xu, father is at grandpa's place, and he will be back soon."

He asked again: "Will the mother concubine stay with Xu all the time?"

"My concubine doesn't know that when a bird grows up, it will also have its own wings, and it must learn to fly by itself."

"Mother Concubine, don't be sad." He crawled over, and I held him in my arms: "Xu knows that no matter what Mother Concubine does, it is for our own good. Mother Concubine wants to accompany Xu. When Xu grows up, he will be like Protect mother and concubine like a tree, no one dares to harm mother and concubine."

"Xu, you've really grown up, concubine mother is so happy."

Gently patted him on the back: "Xu, father will come back."

The colder the night, the coldness came in from the cracks in all directions, making the air outside the bed extremely cold.

The wind and some voices sounded in the quiet space. I listened carefully, it was the rustling of snow.

Sure enough, it's here, I'm not in vain waiting here.

After waiting for a while, I heard a creaking sound, the door opened slightly, and several black figures flashed in, each holding a bright dagger, and then one of them raised the curtain and stabbed into the slightly bulging quilt inside. down.

I covered Xu's mouth to keep him silent.

"No one?" It was a terrified voice.

At that moment, the candles in the whole room were brightly lit, and the sharp arrows of the Imperial Forest Army had already aimed at the man in black, and they trembled in panic.It was still those same people, and there was another person pretending to be Xia Junlan.

"The emperor is here." The father-in-law's clear voice sounded.

The men in black looked at each other, thinking about what to do, I jumped off the bed behind the screen, went out and said coldly: "Do you think death is useful? I already know who is behind you , isn’t that the Concubine Yang, let’s see who is the person next to the emperor?”

The person next to the emperor is Concubine Yang. At this moment, she is pale and bloodless, and there is a kind of sadness on the face of those men in black.

"Concubine Yang, how long do you want to hide?" I sighed softly.

Those men in black did not dare to act rashly anymore, they were arrested by the Royal Forest Army, and then a few guards were left behind, and they went to the room below to deal with these matters. The children are sleeping, and I would rather they sleep peacefully until dawn, as if nothing happened happened before.

Concubine Yang looked at Xia Juntang and me with a pale face. There is only Qing Luo, a maid, and Eunuch Chen. I said, "Concubine Yang, don't hide anything. Say what you have to say!"

Concubine Yang was silent, not saying a word.

I frowned: "Qingluo, go and carry Princess Yan'er down."

When she heard this, her expression changed in horror: "Yan'er, you actually caught my Yan'er?"

"When you were doing things that hurt me, did you ever think that I am also a mother? They are also my children, Concubine Yang, you are so ruthless, Zhang Xibao let you take advantage of it, and now you just give up Say it all! I don't want to embarrass your daughter, but if you don't say it, I can't guarantee that I will do something. You love your child, and I love mine."

"It's me who wants to win favor." She said in a low voice.

I smiled: "You still don't want to say it, I don't want to hear these words again, do you believe me so much that I dare not attack you, let me tell you, you can do anything when you are in a hurry."

I really hate it, do you really want to force me to attack Princess Yan'er, the last thing I want to do.

"Young concubine, please calm down. It was because of my jealousy that my conscience was blinded for a while, so I wanted to kill my empress. I don't regret my death, but please have a lot of empresses, please spare my Yan'er." She kowtowed vigorously. , It was so heavy every time, and it didn't stop until the forehead was covered with blood.

I sighed softly and said, "Qing Luo, pour a glass of wine up, and let Princess Yan'er drink it."

Xia Juntang grabbed my hand and comforted me.

I really don't want to, I don't want to kill people, I don't want my hands to be stained with blood, or kill a child, it will make my conscience disturbed day and night in this world.

Qing Luo poured the wine, but I didn't stop, Qing Luo went straight to the door, and Concubine Yang yelled: "Your Majesty, don't, I say, I say everything. Yan'er is just a child, she doesn't care about anything." I know."

"Go ahead." I also breathed a sigh of relief.

"The concubine knows that the emperor is fake, and when the concubine knows that the emperor is there, the military power is gone."

Her words shocked me. It turned out that when Xia Junlan was there, the military power disappeared.

"It was the empress dowager who secretly sent someone to steal the power of the general when General Lu entered the palace. Eunuch Yang is a member of my Yang family and the most trusted minister of the empress dowager. The reason why Zhang Xibao knows so much is because of Yang. What my father-in-law told her, and other things, I ordered Eunuch Yang to do this. I was afraid that Zhang Xibao would reveal this secret, so the Yang family killed Zhang Xibao secretly. It was me, and everything was me, and the reason was for you What I did was also me." She said it out in pain.

The reason is that the woman who followed me and took care of me has died for so many years, and it still makes me feel a little sour to mention this name again.

"She refused to say who the person behind was until she died."

"She swore that if she said it out, her son would be hit by lightning and die a terrible death." Concubine Yang continued: "But Yuanyuan is still very loyal to you. She doesn't want to hurt you. Instead of your Medicine, she will tell the Empress that you want to go with Xia Juntang, and make the Empress jealous. You are the most favored in the palace, and the emperor cares about you the most, but even Xia Juntang has you in his heart, and wants to go far away with you, Empress Naturally, I can’t just leave it alone, and the other things about poisonous ointment and cakes are also the reason for my convenience, because this woman just didn’t dare, and she didn’t do it well enough for you to find out.”

"Why should I listen to you?" Reason, reason reminded me again and again.

"Yuan's husband is Eunuch Yang's adopted son. Yuan's husband is a scholar. A child of the Li family fell in love with Yuan. Her husband resisted, and she was beaten to death alive. Yuan felt guilty. Husband died long ago. Abandoning the child and her, Eunuch Yang arranged for her to enter the palace, and the Yang family poisoned the child to make her work for our Yang family wholeheartedly. If she dares to do anything that is not good for the Yang family, she will would kill her child."

My heart was sour when I heard that, and the hand holding the teacup trembled a little.

Reason, reason, why are you afraid to tell me the truth?At that time, I could help you, but I died in vain.

"Why are you doing this, why?" I yelled, resentful.

Can power really be so important?It's so important that you don't even need your life.

Concubine Yang said softly: "Ten years ago, an expert came to the palace, and his fortune-telling was extremely effective. No matter what happened to you, he knew. The Empress Dowager also asked him to make a fortune-telling. , the master said that the empress dowager was too old to depend on, her children and grandchildren were all dead, and the family was annihilated, the empress dowager was very angry and asked someone to lock up the master."

"and then?"

"The empress dowager was still uneasy in her thoughts, and finally let the master out, and asked him again: Now I am already powerful, my emperor's son is the prince, my Lu family is the largest of the three families, and my elder brother is a illustrious family. The famous general, his army is invincible, how can he be so old and helpless that all his descendants will perish? Then the master said that the power is not important, what is important is the power of the world. Catch it, what awaits is not only old age and desolation, but also death and family disaster.”

After hearing these words, I felt a little turbulent in my heart. People struggled for power in the whole life, the more they feared that it would become a reality, the more they wanted to catch it, and they went to those places instead.

"At that time, there was a banquet in the palace. Officials above the third rank could bring their daughters to the banquet. I hope that the emperor or the princes and nobles will be attracted to it, and a good marriage will be formed. Eunuch Yang belongs to Mrs. Yang. Elder brother, he won the trust of the queen mother. He took me to see the master, and said that he wanted to betroth me to the wife of the major general of the Li family. I don’t know if it will be possible? The master looked at me and said, this girl has beautiful features and looks elegant I'm so angry, I will be a concubine in the future, so don't mess around. Eunuch Yang was very happy, and finally told him that the empress dowager is going to kill him, and if he can count on the Yang family, he will help him escape. I remember the master said with a smile at that time: "It's so difficult for you to ask me to give you a divination. You know the fate of the queen mother. It's not impossible for your Yang family to become the noble family of the prime minister. It's just that you There is a catastrophe in every life, after that catastrophe, there will be all kinds of wealth and honor in the future, and he said with a smile, after the catastrophe, one of the blood of the Yang family will be the queen."

"Why is that?" I whispered.

"That master is the one who condemned my life." Xia Juntang also said: "I asked him why he came to the palace again, and he said that he had some fate with the palace, and his fate was too many, so he had to be released here. It was fate. Eunuch Yang did not let him go, but he was killed according to the Queen Mother's wishes."

Is it because they know the destiny, so they all want to escape?

The more you want to escape, the more you will lose your light. Destiny is very mysterious.

There is no need to say anything about the following, Yang Shangshu is actually colluding with the Queen Mother, taking advantage of the disaster in the north to do things, stealing food for himself, and the army of the Lu family will rush into the capital tomorrow to expose Xia Juntang's true colors.
