There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 201 Your Majesty, I Was Wrong
It's mid-February now, and the weather is still cold, but it doesn't have the biting cold wind of the twelfth lunar month, especially when the weather is clear at noon, it is already very warm.

She was leaning on the highest point on the second floor of Fengyang Palace, where the entire palace could be seen.

The sky in early spring was blue and blue, and occasionally a cool breeze blew through, blowing the fox fur on her cloak over and over, making her skin white and lovely even more.

Thinking that she would have to stand at this place all her life and look up at the outside of the palace, Tang Wanning felt extremely distressed.

This problem that has troubled her for two or three years, and will continue to trouble her in the future, has overwhelmed her, leaving her no room for maneuver, let alone an optimal solution.

She was a little confused, resigned to her fate, unwilling to accept her fate, but also helpless.

"Empress, are you homesick?" Bi Yue stepped forward and closed the cloak for her.

"A little bit!" Tang Wanning nodded.

It was a good plan at the beginning, to live a happy life in this palace, to raise a few fair faces when old, and to have an exciting sunset.

But now she was not interested at all, and her heart was stuffed with a ball of cotton and lead, heavy and filthy.

Could it be that she is really interested in that bastard Xia Houjue, and wants to have a sadomasochism with him?During the period, there were also various palace fighting dramas?
no no no!Tang Wanning was even more frustrated, and immediately gave up the idea, just stop, she didn't want to be enlightened.

……

In February of the 23rd year of Jingyuan, the new emperor ascended the throne.

At the beginning of March, the Conferment Ceremony was held as scheduled, and the concubines of the new emperor's harem were also conferred together.

The Empress Seal Ceremony on this day was particularly lively. Even though it was inappropriate to use drum music during the funeral of the late emperor, there was still a lot of voices and orders, and it was very lively.

The sound was so quiet that even Yingchun Pavilion in Ning'an Palace could hear it clearly.

"What's the noise outside?" The queen mother lay on the bed, her face extremely haggard.

The Yingchun Pavilion was dark and gloomy. The Empress Dowager was lying on the dilapidated bed, and there was a musty smell in the air.

"Reporting to the empress dowager, today is the empress ceremony. After today, the empress dowager will officially move into the central palace, and her mother will be in the world!"

"Mother Yitianxia?" The Queen Mother repeated these four familiar words repeatedly.

This word has been with her all her life, and it is her lifelong obsession. Unfortunately, in the end, she was kicked out of power inexplicably and notoriously, and lived in this palace that was neither human nor ghost.

"Haha, what a sarcasm, if I knew this, why should I have killed him in the first place!"

Qiao Yuan stood aside and dared not speak.

The queen mother still burst into tears: "If I kill him, my son will already be the emperor, so what if he is not a virtuous queen? So what if he is not the mother of the world?"

"I'm so stupid!"

"Empress Dowager, the weather is fine today, do you want to go out to bask in the sun!" Qiao Yuan said cautiously.

"Don't go!"

Qiao Yuan didn't dare to persuade her anymore, when she was about to close the window, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by a figure pushing the door in.

"Mother!"

"Yan'er?"

The queen mother was shocked, looked carefully, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"How did you come?"

"How did you get in?"

"Don't worry, queen mother, today's conferment ceremony, the palace's defenses are lax, I bribed the guards to come in!"

"Come here quickly and let the queen mother take a good look. Why are you so thin? Are you doing well now? How is the palace? Is someone bullying you in the court?"

The queen mother asked a series of questions, making Xia Houyan a little unsure where to answer.

"Mother..."

"Is it not good?" The queen mother was very nervous, so nervous that she even asked the question deliberately when she knew the answer.

"There is nothing wrong with Prince Chen's Mansion, but all the guards and servants have been transferred away, the ministers of the court and the central government do not communicate with each other, and the court is neglected..."

The queen mother was relieved, but even more sad.

"What a beauty our mother and son were in the past, and how prosperous your Prince Chen's mansion was. Now, there is nothing in the mansion except for a few women. There are no princes and grandchildren, and there are no guards..."

The empress dowager's heart was pierced by a knife, but Xia Houyan's face was full of sternness.

"Mother, I want revenge, you have to help me!"

"Revenge?" The queen mother burst into tears.

"What kind of revenge is there? The world has been settled, the general situation is over, the winner is the king and the loser, and we are already prisoners. What kind of revenge do you have!"

"Do you think revenge is so easy? Don't be stupid!" The Queen Mother cried bitterly.

"Good boy, you managed to save your life. The queen mother can no longer watch you take risks. You should stay in the mansion and don't go out at will..."

"Mother!" Xia Houyan's eyes were scarlet.

"I've already made up my mind that I'm going to seek asylum abroad. As long as I escape from the capital, everything will be hopeful. Now, mother, you only need to help me escape from the capital!"

"Out of Beijing?" The queen mother was stunned for a moment, looked at the dilapidated surroundings, and smiled bitterly.

"I can't even leave the palace now, let alone leave Beijing!"

"Mother, you should think of a way to help me. When my son leads troops to kill me, you will be the most legitimate empress dowager in the world. The world belongs to us!"

"Son, stop thinking about it, he is the first wife!" The queen mother was a little helpless.

I don't know if this Yingchun Pavilion is too dark or too narrow, but living in it for half a month has already drained all her energy and ambition.

She is like a crumbling candle, which may be extinguished at any time. She has been tired all her life, and she doesn't want to fight anymore. If she loses, she loses.

"Mother, can't you do it for me? Where's your gold medal?" Xia Houyan was extremely anxious.

"Where is my gold medal useful? It's useless. It's useless!"

"Mother!" Xia Houyan's eyes turned red.

"You..." He clenched his fist tightly and grabbed the Queen Mother's shoulders.

"Give it to me, give it to me, Queen Mother, I'll say it again, give it to me!"

His eyes are red, like a crazy vampire, he will not give up until he achieves his goal, as if he can kill her immediately if the queen mother says no.

The queen mother looked at the crazy and bloodthirsty son in front of her, and the familiar chill all over her body came back again.

"In my whole life, I have won the gold medal of exoneration. It is the foundation of our mother and son's life. If you take it away, I will die!"

"No mother, my son will definitely come back to save you, give it to me, give it to me now, only the gold medal can leave the palace!"

"Hehe! Forget it! Forget it!"

The Queen Mother pushed his hand away, trembling back to the bedside, and took out the gold medal she regarded as a treasure from an old box.

When Xia Houyan saw the familiar gold medal, he immediately felt as if he had found a treasure. Before he could hide his words, he went out through the window and disappeared.

The queen mother cried and fell back on the bed, her heart ached like a knife.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Speaking of this gold medal, its origin is not small. It was awarded to her by Emperor Jingyuan when she gave birth to Xiahouyan when she gave birth to Xia Houyan.

Seeing this gold medal is like seeing me face to face. No one dares to stop you from wanting, but you can only use it once.

At that time, this gold medal caused a sensation in the capital. After so many years, everyone almost forgot its existence.
