Chapter 365
Even the Empress Dowager was overjoyed, completely forgot An Yi's advice just now, slapped the table hard, and said three times in succession excitedly: "Good! Good! Good!" Emphasized: "Immediately dispatch more people to Kunning Palace , be sure to keep the queen safe!"

Not knowing if it would be too late, An Yi turned her head and looked out the window. The sky was already as bright as daylight by the fire. How big of a fire would it take to burn like this?
Waiting is the most tormenting. It is nearly dawn, the fire in Kunning Palace has not been extinguished, and there is still no news from Queen Liang. Everyone has almost given up hope. Even the queen mother began to cry: "The queen married the emperor when she was 14 years old. The young man is intelligent, virtuous and virtuous, filial and considerate, I am sorry for her."

Aunt Jiang and others went forward to persuade the Empress Dowager Lian. The Empress Dowager Lian was like an ordinary old lady, recalling the past anecdotes of Empress Liang with tears, which made everyone sigh.

An Yi stood leaning against the pillar in silence, the red lacquered golden dragon pillar was against her back, it was cold and piercing to the bone, which made people feel really uncomfortable.She doesn't want to be such a person, living alone during her lifetime, and sleeping alone after death, leaving everything she has earned so hard for others to enjoy.She wants to enjoy this life like a flower blooming, and have no complaints or regrets after death.

In the midst of reminiscing, a palace official hurried over and reported: "A few people were rescued from the Kunning Palace, one of them was Mrs. Huang, and the other was Gao Shangyi who was next to the Empress. She might know the whereabouts of the Empress. .”

The Empress Dowager Lian immediately wiped away her tears, and said, "Don't you hurry up and call people in?"

The palace man said: "Gao Shangyi escaped from the fire with poor manners, which frightened the queen mother's phoenix driver."

Even the Empress Dowager sneered disdainfully: "What kind of people and things have I never seen? Can a mere trifle scare me? Xuan!"

Gao Shangyi was carried in by someone, her hair was burnt, half of her scalp was turned pink, her face also had scars, and her body was covered with a thin quilt, so it was impossible to see how she was injured.But judging by the expressions of the servants in the palace, I'm afraid the injury is really serious.

Empress Liang was seriously ill, and she always lived in seclusion. She relied on Gao Shangyi to convey her affairs.Seeing her miserable appearance, everyone couldn't help but shed tears and felt sorry for her.

The Empress Dowager Lian frowned and said, "Where is the Empress?"

Gao Shangyi was still conscious, so she didn't directly answer the Queen Mother Lian's question, but slowly looked at the people around her.

Even the queen mother waved her hand slightly, and everyone retreated. Although Anyi really wanted to heal Gao Shangyi immediately, she didn't dare to stay without permission. Fortunately, even the queen mother was worried that Gao Shangyi would not survive, so she said: "Xiao An, don't go, help me She treats the wound."

An Yi couldn't wish for it, so she immediately arranged for the palace servants to bring up the sugar and salt water, and then prepared clean water and necessary medicines for later use.

Gao Shangyi took An Yi's hand and drank a large glass of light sugar salt water before slowly voicing out the truth: "The Empress has become more and more difficult to fall asleep recently, and she often has to sleep until midnight. The sleep is light and startled, and there can be no sound , so people are generally not kept in the sleeping hall, and those who are on duty at night must stay in the outer hall. Last night at three o'clock, when the maid saw that the empress was asleep, she left a ram's horn lamp in the hall and quietly retreated out.

The servant girl woke up and heard the empress talking to someone in the hall, so she got up to look at it because she was worried, but before she got close to the sleeping hall, she was pressed on her neck by a sword and pushed in.Only then did the servant girl see Concubine Shu leading the Fifth Highness and a strange lady sitting in the hall talking to the empress. "

Gao Shangyi was tired of speaking, she closed her eyes to rest her breath, even the Queen Mother frowned and said, "There are so many people in Kunning Palace, none of you noticed when they went in?"

Gao Shangyi smiled wryly and said: "Who says it's not like this? The maid also has such doubts. Concubine Shu said that in this huge palace, only my sister's place is the safest. The Leng Palace must be searched first, the emperor is reluctant." To disturb you, I must search Kunning Palace until the end. Our mother and son have nowhere to go, so we had to rest here with my sister. My sister has always been the most virtuous and virtuous, kind and considerate, and I don’t want to refuse. If I am lucky enough to be in the position, I will let Wuer give it to me. Empress Empress leave a whole body."

"I don't know what kind of posthumous name my sister wants?" Gao Shangyi learned Huang Shufei's arrogance and viciousness vividly, and even the queen mother sneered: "Stop talking about that, just tell me how the queen is doing now?"

Gao Shangyi said: "The Empress and the Concubine Shu are pretending to be false, and they want the maidservants to send out a letter, so that the people of Kunning Palace must keep the Concubine Shu, and she herself took advantage of the Concubine Shu not paying attention, and poured the lamp oil on the tent. The curtain was set on fire." Empress Liang set herself on fire with the thought of losing both sides, she would rather die than fall into the hands of Concubine Huang Shu, let alone be used by Concubine Huang Shu.

The Empress Dowager Lian was slightly surprised, but then she seemed to have expected it a long time ago, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Does she have any unfinished wishes?"

Only then did Gao Shangyi shed two turbid tears: "The empress said that she hurt the empress dowager's kindness by her waywardness in the past. It is rare that the empress dowager and the saint don't care about it. She is waiting to die. It is better to waste the medicine than to live. To do something useful for the Holy Majesty is to repay the kindness of the Empress Dowager and the Holy Majesty."

The Empress Dowager Lian burst into tears, and said sadly: "What should people say about this child? He is so determined." After crying for a while, she asked the topic again: "Where is Concubine Shu's mother and son?"

Gao Shangyi looked at An Yi, An Yi knew that she must have something confidential to report to Queen Mother Lian, she thought it would be better if she didn't know, so she excused herself to prepare wound medicine and retreated.

The palace man who helped her prepare the medicine was the palace man who had been serving her in the past, and had always had a very good relationship with her. He whispered to her while no one was paying attention: "I heard that half of Mrs. Huang's body was burnt, and only one breath is left. Hanging, I can't answer anything when I ask her, the imperial doctor said it won't make it this morning."

Such an ending... Presumably Mrs. Huang never thought that she would be burned into coke when she entered Beijing, and she would just sit there waiting to die?An Yi sighed and buried herself in getting the medicine.

As soon as the medicine was ready, Gao Shangyi was carried out, An Yi hurriedly cut off her clothes and cleaned the wound, Gao Shangyi gently pressed her hand, and said softly, "Don't do it."

Anyi was puzzled: "I'm very light, I have special medicine, it doesn't hurt very much, and the scars are not too big." So if she is worried about damage to her appearance, she can solve it for Gao Shangyi as much as possible.

Gao Shangyi shook her head: "It's not for this. The Empress has treated me with such kindness as a mountain, I can't live in this world."
