Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 732 Reward (1 more)
Zhao Xi was silent.

Fanghua suddenly felt sorry for the child, "I know you are very embarrassed, after all, it is the biological mother, but..."

"I can't watch my mother die with my own eyes." Zhao Xi was heartbroken, "Why do I have to die?"

Fanghua couldn't answer this question.

At that time in the emperor's dormitory, she also asked Emperor Guangxi why the empress must die. Emperor Guangxi said that Zhao Xi was a child who was too affectionate. compromise to a certain extent.As a king, he is destined to stand at the top and be lonely. If he blindly acts on his emotions and throws his weak side in front of others, he will surely dig his own grave and destroy the foundation of the country. He also said that Empress Qi is inferior to Empress Su, not only can she not help the prince, It will also drag the prince back, so it is better to enter the coffin early and fulfill the son.

Moving his lips, Fanghua said in a low voice: "Your father also said that if the queen dies, he will make people declare that he died for love and be buried with him in the emperor's mausoleum. He can only be buried with Empress Su."

It's a bait, and a tough choice.

Emperor Guangxi had two empresses, Empress Su and Empress Qi.

According to folklore, Empress Su is the first wife, and Empress Qi is the successor after Fuzheng.

Generally speaking, after the death of the head of the family, he will be buried with the original one.

That is to say, according to the law of etiquette, only Empress Su can be buried with Emperor Guangxi, but now that Emperor Guangxi wants Empress Qi to be buried with him, it means that Emperor Guangxi must either divorce Empress Su or demote her. , to make room for Empress Qi.

For the successors, being able to be buried with the emperor after death is a sign of supreme honor, and it can also shade the descendants of the family.

"Your father is very considerate." Fanghua said, "Once you nod, he will send your mother out of the palace in the name of resting. After he dies, your mother will die. In this way, you You don't have to see your mother's serious illness every day."

Zhao Xi clutched his painful chest, "Auntie, if it were you, how would you choose?"

"I don't know." Fanghua shook her head, "It's too difficult."

Saying that, he stretched out his hand to pat Zhao Xi's shoulder, and sighed, "If you really can't make up your mind, go and see your queen mother!"

Zhao Xi went in to say hello to Song Wei and the others, and went straight to Kunning Palace.

After changing the prescription, Empress Qi's health improved day by day, and she finally regained some energy today, but she was so angry at the news that the Yang family forced her into the palace, she vomited blood.

When Zhao Xi came, she would wake up, and when Jing Zhe said that the prince was coming, she was a little excited, "Please hurry up."

Zhao Xi entered the inner hall.

Empress Qi asked Jing Zhe to help her sit up.

"Mother's queen." Zhao Xi stepped forward to salute.

"Xi'er, how's the situation outside?" Empress Qi asked anxiously.

Zhao Xi said truthfully: "Song Wei and his uncle and aunt arrived in time, and Yang Xiong'an has already been sent to prison, waiting for interrogation. It's all right."

"Then you're all right?"

"Yes, I don't need to be imprisoned anymore."

Empress Qi listened, smiled gratifiedly, and then lowered her eyelids, "It's useless to be a queen mother, and it can't help you."

"Mother, don't say that." Zhao Xidao: "Without your encouragement and support these years, my son would not be where he is today."

Empress Qi choked up a bit and let him go forward.

Zhao Xi went to the couch and knelt down.

Empress Qi stretched out her hand and touched his cheek, "Since I was a child, Xi'er has been the best prince in this palace. The queen mother believes that you are not only a capable prince, but also a talented prince in the future." Monarch."

Although Empress Qi didn't say it clearly, Zhao Xi had already realized something, and his eyes turned red, "Mother Empress..."

"Good boy, promise your mother that when you become an emperor in the future, no matter what happens, you will not shed tears, and no matter what kind of girl you meet, you will not be emotional. This is the last thing I will do for you as a queen. Yizhi."

Zhao Xifu knelt on the ground, weeping uncontrollably, "I obey the order, I obey the order, I obey the order, I... obey the order!"

"Cry, cry this time, the tears should end forever."

……

After Zhao Xi left, Jing Zhe looked at Empress Qi with regret, "Is your empress really going to agree to the emperor's request?"

On the night when Zhao Xi changed prescriptions, Emperor Guangxi had already let Eunuch Cui let him go. If she was willing to die, Zhao Xi would soon become emperor. Not only that, but she, the successor, could be buried with the emperor. , hereditary, no replacement, but all the children who want to become an official, will be exempted from the exam and directly awarded the honor.

After thinking about it for so many days, Empress Qi has already seen through it, "If I die alone, why not change my son to the throne and change the shadow of the family?"

"Yes, but this sacrifice is too great." Jing Zhe said while wiping away tears.

"Do you think that if I don't agree, the emperor can take back his life?" Empress Qi smiled wryly, "My resistance will not only not make him change his mind, but will also lead to a miserable end for himself. Bring Xi'er down, bring down the Qi family."

With Emperor Guangxi's temperament, he can take the initiative to propose a joint burial, propose Mengyin Qi's family, or even pass the throne to the crown prince, which is already the greatest kindness and concession. If she doesn't know how to praise at this time, it will only backfire and irritate emperor.

It has to be said that Emperor Guangxi's move was quite cruel and absolute.

He wanted to pass on the throne to the crown prince, but he was afraid that after his death, the Qi family would repeat the same mistakes as the Su family. She is willing to die, the position of emperor belongs to the crown prince, and no one can take it away.

Empress Qi had hoped for her son to take this position for so many years, so it was naturally impossible not to agree.

In this way, he can not only fulfill his wish to pass on the throne, but also kill the possibility of his relatives controlling Chao Gang in the cradle, without leaving any hidden dangers.

Empress Qi can think of this even if her brain is not enough.

-

Zhao Xi returned to the East Palace, but Song Wei and the others still hadn't left.

Fanghua stood outside the door waiting for him. When he saw someone, he first brought him a hand stove to keep him warm, and then asked, "How is it?"

Zhao Xi replied calmly: "The queen mother should have agreed to the emperor's willingness to die before."

Fanghua understands Emperor Guangxi's temperament. He has been under the control of the Su family for many years when he ascended the throne as a young man. After taking over the power, he likes to control everything in his own hands. Since he can propose a joint burial, he will definitely communicate with Queen Qi in advance.

Empress Qi agreed, and the crown prince ascended the throne, and the emperor and empress were buried together, and everyone was happy.

If Empress Qi refuses to agree, the prince ascends the throne, the empress dies tragically, the mother clan withers, and the tragedy ends.

This is the consistent style of Emperor Guangxi.

"Then what did she tell you just now?"

"The queen mother gave me a decree, telling me that after I become the emperor, no matter what happens, I can't cry, no matter what girl I meet, I can't be emotional."

"Your mother is right!" Fanghua agreed, "She is thinking about the long-term."

Saying that, he stretched out his hand to brush off the broken snow on Zhao Xi's shoulders, "Xi'er, no matter how far or how high you stand in the future, your uncle, aunt, and Sanlang's family will always be the most solid shield behind you. It's your home."

……

Every move of the East Palace and Kunning Palace had been told to Emperor Guangxi in detail long ago.

After listening to the report, Emperor Guangxi snorted, "It's considered that she has some foresight, so she won't be too stupid."

Afterwards, he told Eunuch Cui, "Since you have agreed, there is no need to waste time in the palace. Let someone prepare it and send it away for rest."

Eunuch Cui hesitated and said, "Do you want someone to report to the East Palace?"

"There are so many eyeliners in this palace. The empress is going out of the palace. There is such a big movement, do you still need to report it?"

Eunuch Cui immediately understood what the emperor meant, that he didn't want the crown prince to see the queen again, so he said that the servant obeyed the order, and went down to make arrangements for leaving the palace.

……

Fanghua and the others sat in the East Palace for nearly two hours. When they were leaving, they met the former imperial eunuch of Qianqing Palace on the palace road.

The imperial eunuch bowed to Lu Xingzhou and Fanghua, "Master Hou, Madam Hou, please wait a moment, the emperor has something to give to you two."

Fanghua paused, "What?"

"Sacred decree."

After the imperial eunuch finished speaking, Lu Xingzhou, Fanghua, Song Wei and Song Yuanbao knelt down.

The little eunuch began to read.

According to the imperial decree, Mrs. Changning Hou rescued her in time, and she was specially appointed as the princess protecting the country, her royal status was restored, and the jade certificate was restored.

Fanghua was a little shocked, and after the shock, she couldn't stop feeling distressed.

Brother guessed that he didn't have many days left, and wanted to make up for all the regrets.

After closing her eyes and opening them again, her voice was clear and bright, "Sister Zhao Xunyin, accept the order."

After this little episode, several people continued to leave the palace.

The palace arranged carriages, one for Zhao Xunyin and Lu Xingzhou, one for Song Yuanbao and Song Wei.

Finally able to speak freely, Song Yuanbao couldn't help muttering, "This time, daddy is also responsible for rescuing you, why didn't the emperor reward you?"

　Once again, the author's narration will be written as "Zhao Xunyin" in the future!
