The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 358: Sleepless Night

The children were sleeping soundly, and their rosy cheeks were very cute.

They are still so young, all day long they only wish for the return of their father who was away from the expedition, and they can't understand the cruel and bloody wind outside.

Will those news be true?
Is Li Ling really dead?
How could someone like him die so easily? !
Jing Shu couldn't believe such a fact, she quietly guarded the two children, the bitter tears in her eyes poured out like the tide breaking the embankment.

The night was dark, and the autumn wind outside the window was rustling.Jing Shu didn't go back to the main room, she sat on the couch with her legs curled up, her head resting on her knees, silently thinking about her husband Li Ling, silently shedding tears that would never be shed cleanly.

In front of people, she is the most honorable princess and mistress, no matter what she encounters, she is calm and composed, but only she knows that her heart is actually very fragile under those strong appearances, even the seemingly strong appearance It was also Li Ling who helped her up.

Jing Shu couldn't imagine how she would go on with her two children without Li Ling in the future.

At this moment, not only is it a sleepless night at Duke Zhen Guo's mansion, but also the dark tide is raging in the imperial city, making it impossible to sleep peacefully.

Concubine Meng Guifei passed out when she heard the bad news. After she transformed slowly, she looked at Emperor Ming who had been beaten to an old age. went."

Emperor Ming doted on Concubine Meng Gui, and he also loved the pair of children she gave birth to. Hearing that his son had suffered such a bad fate, how could he not be heartbroken.

The Emperor Ming comforted Concubine Meng with a sob, "Now I just heard from the remaining soldiers that Jin'er and Boyue were thrown into the cliff together by the soldiers. It's still unknown what happened to the two of them. I have ordered the soldiers over there The garrison is going to rescue, be sure"

Emperor Ming's words were just to comfort Concubine Meng, in fact, he clearly knew that the possibility of his son and nephew's survival was almost zero.

Jin Wang and Li Ling died on the way back to Beijing. According to the people who came back to report, the soldiers who survived after they were knocked off the cliff went down and searched carefully, but there was no sign of them at all.

But it is said that the cliff is high and steep, and there is still a bottomless river below. Even if the two of them did not fall to their deaths, they must have been washed away by the river, and there is basically no possibility of surviving.

It's just that the body has not been found yet.

Emperor Ming lost his beloved son, although he wanted to comfort his concubine, but halfway through the comforting words, he choked up and couldn't speak anymore.

Concubine Meng Gui didn't know that her son would never come back, but she knew the cause of the accident better than Emperor Ming.

This is clearly a deliberate frame-up by the princelings.

Concubine Meng raised her hand to try to wipe away her tears, forced herself to hold back her sadness, and said to Emperor Ming: "I don't believe this is what the rebel soldiers did. This is clearly a conspiracy to put Jin'er to death, so that I will reject your idea of ​​making him the crown prince."

After saying that, Concubine Meng got up and grabbed Emperor Ming's cuff, crying and pleading: "Your Majesty, you must make the decision for our son."

Emperor Ming could naturally think that this was the work of the princelings, but he was a man who had been an emperor for most of his life no matter what, so he still had his heart and reason.

He has only three sons in total. Now King Jin is dead and King Qi is disabled. Even if he doesn’t like Zhao Bi anymore, even if he really killed King Jin, Emperor Ming can’t do anything to him. It's not as good as before, so how can I get a son again.

Concubine Meng Gui had been by Emperor Ming's side for many years, so she naturally knew his temperament well. Seeing Emperor Ming's hesitation, she could see his thoughts.

Concubine Meng Guifei got up and knelt in front of Emperor Ming, pulled out the gold hairpin from her head, aimed the sharp hairpin at her throat, her eyes were red and hersed at Emperor Ming, "If Your Majesty is really so disregarding affection, why not?" If our son takes revenge, that concubine's blood will be splashed in front of you."

In the deep palace, there are people who are sad and others who are happy.

Concubine Meng Gui cried miserably, even at the risk of death. The cloud in Empress Cao's heart, which had been suppressed for many years in the Jiaofang Palace, finally dissipated at this moment.

Although the Cao family is a queen, she never likes crowds. In the resplendent and resplendent Jiaofang Palace, there is only Yu Tuan'er, a close female official, serving.

Yutuaner offered the fragrant tea, and Empress Cao took two sips of it, with a smile on her face: "This Biluochun has always been my favorite, and it is only now that I taste it in my mouth that I can really taste it."

Yutuan'er understood what Empress Cao was referring to, but she looked at Empress Cao with a smile and asked, "What did you get?"

Empress Cao smiled and said: "This Biluochun tastes really bitter when it enters the tip of the tongue, but if it flows into the root of the tongue, if you sip it carefully, you can taste the sweetness."

Yutuan'er nodded and said: "After all these years, the empress finally got rid of the obstacles and got what she wanted. From now on, it will be the end of all hardships."

Empress Cao smiled knowingly, looked outside the hall, and asked, "Why haven't Bier and Fengtong come here yet?"

Yutuan'er replied: "I have ordered people to invite the prince and princess, I will go outside the palace to have a look."

As soon as Yutuan'er finished speaking, the eunuch's singing rang out outside the store, and the crown prince Zhao Bi and Cao Fengtong entered the Jiaofang Hall one after the other.

After all, the husband and wife are young, especially Zhao Bi, the joy on his face is beyond words.

Empress Cao knew that her son was a man with no scheming plans. After the two gave the seat, Empress Cao glanced at her son and warned, "Although the obstacle has been removed, your father just ordered someone to investigate there. Now is the last time." At critical moments, the two of you should be more cautious in your words and deeds, especially in front of your father, but you must be cautious in your words, understand?"

Cao Fengtong nodded towards Queen Cao, and replied respectfully: "I understand, please rest assured, Queen Mother."

Zhao Bi, on the other hand, looked indifferent and rebellious, and said with a cold snort, "Now that son of a bitch has been smashed to pieces, is there anyone else who can take the crown prince alone?"

Empress Cao looked at her son's appearance and said anxiously: "The bodies of King Jin and Li Ling have not been found yet. Your father has been manipulated by Concubine Meng Gui all the time, and King Jin's followers are even more powerful in the court. How can you go now?" This is not the time to be complacent."

Although Zhao Bi grew up in a treacherous and treacherous palace, perhaps because of his temperament, his scheming city is not as good as that of an ordinary person, and he is self-rebellious, and he is most impatient with Empress Cao's advice.

Now seeing his mother coming to admonish him again, his complexion immediately darkened, he flicked his sleeves impatiently, and replied in a cold voice: "Since the mother can take care of all important matters, the left and right orphans will only do bad things, so the orphan will go back to the East Palace." It's good for Li Haosheng to hide, so as not to spoil the queen mother's big trouble."

After finishing speaking, he got up angrily, and left the Jiaofang Hall without looking back.
