Hearing her son, who had given everything for her, say such words, Empress Dowager Li's heart was like a knife, "Yi'er, are you trying to rip out the heart of the mourning family?" ”

King Yi bowed his head, "Don't dare." ”

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Li was shaking even more, Zilan hurriedly stepped forward, supported her body, and persuaded, "Lord, the Empress Dowager has not been able to sleep for three days." ”

"Who made you talkative!" Empress Dowager Li vigorously waved away Zilan and scolded, "What is it if the mourning family doesn't sleep for a few nights!" As long as the mourning family does not follow the first emperor, he is a sinner in his eyes! ”

Because before the death of Emperor Jianlong, only Empress Dowager Li, Concubine Shu, Concubine Gui, Xiao Nuan and the three princes were there. His words will not be spread by these people, so Zilan, who is the palace maid next to Empress Dowager Li, does not know about it.

At this time, hearing the Queen Mother say this, Zilan was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise her head, she hated herself for being deaf!

When the second prince saw his mother like this, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and persuaded, "The queen mother is not resting well, why don't you send the imperial doctor to come over to diagnose the pulse?" ”

Empress Dowager Li's voice couldn't help but be bitter, "Imperial Doctor? The mourning family is just the name of a queen mother, which one in this palace still puts the mourning family in his eyes? Don't say that Hua Shu is Concubine Chen, and the mourning family can't catch up now, and they have a son to protect them! No one has come to the door of this Yongfu Palace for three days, so it is better to change the name to Wufu Palace! ”

King Yi slowly looked up at the angry queen mother, who was nearly thirty years old, and he couldn't help crying, "The queen mother has been dignified and generous for thirty years, why has it become so ...... in the past two years?" ”

Extremely.

Empress Dowager Li smiled sadly, "Dignified and generous? If it weren't for Hua Shu's step-by-step approach, how would the mourning family ......"

"Queen Mother!" King Yi disrespectfully interrupted Empress Dowager Li, "How can the noble concubine force you, the person who is forcing you step by step has always been you." ”

Empress Dowager Li seemed to have been stepped on by her tail and stood up suddenly, "This palace is the queen, she is just a prostitute brought back from outside the palace by your father, and the palace should teach her the rules that she should have as a concubine, and she should be!" If it weren't for the fact that she ignored the dragon body of the first emperor and still flattered the lord and begged for favor when your father was seriously ill, how could your father ......?"

"Enough!" I really couldn't bear to hear more unbearable words from the mouth of the queen mother, King Yi also stood up and persuaded with a strong temperament, "Queen mother, before the concubine entered the palace, the emperor's heart was no longer with you, why are you so ......?"

Empress Dowager Li stubbornly shook her white head, "What this palace cares about has never been his heart. The palace married the prince, so I knew that there would be this day sooner or later. What makes Bengong uneasy is that the little slut never takes Bengong in his eyes, why should she! ”

A woman's mind, King Yi doesn't understand and doesn't want to understand, he is really tired. He would rather kneel in front of his father's palace to confess than face his mother who has gone mad with hatred here.

"You are now the queen mother, not the queen, your father has passed away, and the concubine is about to leave the palace, you don't have to face her in the future, and you don't have to care about her anymore. You can rest assured that I will honor you well. ”

"Filial piety? A few days ago, you wanted to let the mourning family be buried! Empress Dowager Li has completely collapsed, "You blame me, you blame the palace in your heart, blame the mourning family!" ”

King Yi didn't want to argue with his mother anymore, "My son will retire." ”

Seeing her son leave like this, Empress Dowager Li's heart was so cold that she didn't even have the strength to break the porcelain, "The mourning family planned to endure humiliation for his life, and he treated the mourning family like this......"

Zilan sent King Yi to the outside of the palace, and persuaded him repeatedly, "Lord Wang, the Queen Mother is talking angrily, don't take it to heart." ”

The partition wall has ears, and King Yi didn't want to say more, so he ordered, "Take the sign and ask the imperial doctor, and I will send someone to send a letter to my uncle and ask him to enter the palace to visit his mother." ”

Li Xiran entered the palace and saw the emaciated eldest sister, and felt very good, "Why did you torture yourself like this?" ”

Empress Dowager Li stared at her younger brother for a long time before she gently admonished, "Xi Ran, I'm about to see my mother." When I go, you have to take care of yourself, and don't let your mother worry about you underground. If you really like Qin Lan, you can marry her. Otherwise, after a few years, you will be too old to marry, and you will regret it. ”

Li Xiran frowned, "Good and dignified, what are you talking about." You're sick, that's why you think about it, it's important to take some tranquilizers and get a good night's sleep. ”

Empress Dowager Li smiled sadly, "Good and decent? No one in the palace took me seriously, and my son also separated from me after losing the throne, what is the difference between me living and dying. For so many years, I ...... for him"

Li Xiran motioned for Zilan and Yanhong to go to the door to guard, and then sighed, "Yi'er told me everything before the death of the first emperor. ”

As soon as Empress Dowager Li's hand tightened, she listened to him continue, "Yi'er chose to disobey the first emperor's dictation to protect you at a critical juncture. In this way, he has put the handle into the hands of the saint today, what has he given up for you, have you ever imagined? ”

Li Xiran persuaded bitterly, "It is the first emperor who wants you to be martyred, not Yi'er; You feel uncomfortable, how can Yi'er be comfortable if she goes against her father's wishes? Now, you and Yier should work together to get through the difficulties. Sister, I still need to keep the system for three years, King Sheng is the only old man who can help him at this time, if you are embarrassed by the concubine again, how can Yi'er and King Sheng meet? Why are you bothered? ”

He said so much, but Empress Dowager Li didn't listen to a word, and only asked in a trance, "Xi Ran, you studied with the first emperor in the same class, and you have been with the monarch and ministers for decades, you should be able to know his character." Why did he let his sister be buried, you say? ”

Li Xiran's brows furrowed slightly.

"You can't figure it out, do you...... Why does he hate me so much, he will pull me to death......" Empress Dowager Li muttered.

Sister has a knot that she can't untie, Li Xiran didn't know how to persuade her, so she only accompanied her silently for a while, and then went to Yishou Palace to worship with incense.

Chai Yanjing was not in Yishou Palace, and it was Dexi who sent Li Xiran out.

Dexi quietly accompanied Lord Zuo Xiang out of the palace gate, Li Xiran stood and arched his hand, "Father-in-law, go back, there is work." ”

Dexi lowered his hands and stood still, "Xiangye, the old slave wants to borrow someone from you." ”

Li Xiran said, "Xi Ran has resigned and can't afford this title." My father-in-law saw who was in my house, and sent it to you. ”

After Emperor Jianlong was buried, Dexi went out of the palace to capture Xuanfu, who fled and did not know where to go, and he was willing to help.

Dexi said quietly, "Li Xing." ”

Li Xiran raised his eyes, "Don't dare to hide it from my father-in-law, Li Xing was borrowed by Xi Ran from King Sheng." ”

Dexi nodded calmly, "Thank you, Xiangye." ”

Li Xiran sighed softly, "Father-in-law, take care." ”

Li Xiran walked for a while, and when he looked back, he saw that Dexi was still bent and did not get up. He looked like a half-burned tree trunk, like a dead and stinky shrimp.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, Emperor Jianlong is dead, Dexi is old, he is also middle-aged, and the good time that belongs to them has dissipated without a trace. Li Xiran, who is not convinced of old age, feels the ruthlessness of the years so clearly for the first time.

He didn't get into the carriage, and walked along the long deserted street, carefully deliberating the reason why Emperor Jianlong wanted his sister to be martyred.
