Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Supreme

Even if Wang Xianxian was killed, the emperor would not take the pill anymore, but it was already too late. The emperor started to cough up blood, and his body became weaker and weaker, so he could only eat some liquid food. At the end of the year, the emperor's condition was critical, and the imperial doctors were helpless. A month later, all the princes rushed back to the palace non-stop. The emperor was already dying of illness, and his mind began to lose consciousness. The imperial doctors could only delay his life by bloodletting. The princes and ministers knelt down on the emperor's dragon collapse, all lowered their heads in mourning, and some even let out low, suppressed weeping sounds.

A sound of "The empress is here" woke up everyone, and they all raised their heads and looked at me with very different expressions. I didn't look at any of them, I just raised my head and walked quickly to the bedside of the emperor without squinting, and called softly: "Your Majesty..." The emperor seemed to be awakened, turned his head to look at me, his eyes were blurred, his mouth opened and closed but he couldn't make any sound, the doctor Miao who was next to him hurriedly pricked it with a silver needle and let out some blood, the emperor's eyes became clearer, Call me: "Slave..."

"It's me, it's my concubine..." I replied eagerly. The emperor wanted to say something to me, but he looked at the people below, so I turned around and told the left and right: "You all step back first." They looked hesitant, a little hesitant, I knew what they were worried about, but they still shouted dignifiedly: "Back off!" They just left with a bit of worry. The emperor looked at me, his voice was soft and weak, "I... don't want to die..." I was startled, I didn't expect the emperor to say these words. I comforted the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, you will not die, you will get better..."

The emperor shook his head slowly, and continued: "I am going to die, I know... I am not afraid of death, I even thought that death is not bad, at least I can see her again..." She... I was shocked, the emperor was talking about my mother. Then the emperor smiled wryly, "But now I don't dare to die, I'm afraid... I dreamed of Yunyun that day, and she was blaming me and blaming me. I don't have the face to see her again, she is such a woman who is so desperate ...but now I don't dare to see..." There was an inexplicable sadness in my heart, but I didn't know how to answer it.

"Nuxi, do you know why I made you a queen? Because I know I have wronged you... I wanted to give you a guarantee after death, but I didn't expect you to be pregnant... Cheng'er's birth was indeed It made me anxious, and even when he died, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief..." The emperor was already having a hard time speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Because I know that there are many disadvantages of the young master's ascension to the throne, or that powerful officials are in power, or women are involved in politics... But I have ignored your mother's feelings, I I feel guilty..."

My heart was chaotic and painful, I shook my head vigorously, "Your Majesty, stop talking..." The emperor went on to say with emotion: "It's really strange... You are obviously my favorite concubine in the past ten years, but we seem to have never talked so openly... I know you hate me, and you hate me in your heart." Look at me... Nuxi, don’t you think so?” He looked at me, and instead of lying under that gaze, I replied, "Yes." He smiled slightly, with sincerity in his smile, "In the end, you didn't lie to me... But Nuxi, I also told you not to lie, I really like you a little bit... It's not you The shadow of my mother is you, Nuxi... I will remember that there was a woman named Nuxi who brought me happiness... If I were younger, I would be younger... Would you like to be a couple of gods and immortals..."

His voice became weaker and weaker, and finally he grabbed my hand with all his strength, and said like a dream: "Nuxi... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." I stood there in a daze, feeling him holding my hand, as if I had returned to my petite body when I was eight years old. Entering the palace with a trace of excitement and uneasiness, the emperor walked in in a bright yellow dragon robe, and walked in front of me imposingly, Knelt down to look at me tenderly, said: "I like you, I will protect you." He held my little hand, it was so warm... Everything suddenly seemed like a dream... suddenly like a dream.

I froze there, but when I turned around, I saw an old and thin hand, and felt its temperature gradually getting colder. A tear fell from the corner of my eye... I bit my lips tightly, and finally, after a long time, my face returned to its usual calm. I took my hand from the emperor's hand, gently wiped away the tears on my face, and found the bright yellow double dragon from under the emperor's pillow. The imperial decree of Xizhu came. I opened it slowly, glanced at it quickly, closed it again, walked to the burning brazier expressionlessly, let go of my hand on the top, and saw the bright yellow brocade covering the flames , burned up, and gradually turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.

I took out a copy of the imperial decree that I had already drawn up from my pocket. I have secretly imitated the emperor's handwriting for so many years, so it can be faked. I walked to the imperial case again, raised the heavy jade seal and lowered it firmly, and my heart seemed to sink down with it. Then I walked to the door with the new imperial decree, took a breath, and slowly opened the door. Everyone looked at me. I said heavily, word by word: "The emperor has passed away." They were startled when they heard this, and then they all prostrated themselves on the ground and wept bitterly.

Then I stepped over the high threshold, walked to the steps, and put the imperial decree in front of the servant. He understood it and took the imperial decree. At this moment, everyone stopped crying and looked here nervously. The servant opened the imperial decree and solemnly read it in his most sonorous voice: "The fourteenth son of the emperor, Zhuan Fu, is kind and noble, and I love him the most. That is the emperor's throne." Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, a little surprised and unbelievable, and one minister even boldly said: "Uh, the old minister is bold, I wonder if the empress can let the old minister see the imperial decree..."

I signaled, and the servant sent the imperial decree to him. He couldn't wait to unfold it, and the people around him followed suit. They whispered for a while, and it was indeed correct, it was indeed the emperor's handwriting, and it was stamped with the eye-catching Dayin Yuxi seal. King Nanying murmured with some grief: "How is this possible..." Another old minister said hesitantly: "But the concubine of the fourteenth prince..." I interrupted him, and replied word by word: "The mother queen of the fourteenth prince is this palace. The fourteenth prince grew up under my palace and the emperor's knees since childhood. It is not completely unexpected that he is the new emperor. Or—" I looked around majesticly, "you want to disobey the emperor's will, and make trouble?" They fell to their knees in fear and fear, and said, "I dare not." I nodded slightly, and stretched out my hand to summon Zhuan Fu. He looked at me, stood up, and walked to my side nervously, a little at a loss. I put my hand on his shoulder, full of firmness and encouragement, which made him calm down a bit. At this time, the Prime Minister on the right shouted: "Long live the new emperor, long live, long live!" As soon as the sound came out, there were people who agreed with him everywhere, even if there was some unwillingness among the princes, they had no choice but to kneel down and congratulate. When I returned to Eryu Palace, I was already physically and mentally exhausted, but I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. My heart was a little relieved, a little satisfied, and there was a trace of anxiety that couldn't be concealed. Kindly and considerately brought me a cup of calming tea, then went to the back and gently squeezed my shoulders. I took a sip of the steaming tea, then closed my eyes and sighed slightly. The imperial guards are in my hands, and the princes don’t dare to act rashly now. I ordered them not to move around at will in the name of the complicated funeral affairs in the palace, which is equivalent to putting them under house arrest in disguise, so they are safe and sound for the time being.But I know that whether they believe it or not, they will definitely not accept it.So whether they will rebel after returning to the fief is the real worry.King Yuanzang and King Duanyu will not rebel against me. King Yingchong (the thirteenth prince) and others are not destined for the throne, so it does not matter. Even though King Qingling is indignant, he will not rebel against me. I am afraid It is the forces of King Nanying and King Gongqing united. No, this is not the most worrying thing. What I am afraid of is that they will get the support of King Quanyu again, which is the most terrifying. King Quanyu has high military merits and prestige... If I have his support, King Nanying and others will definitely not dare to act rashly, otherwise, the consequences may be unimaginable. It turns out that he is the most important player in this game of chess. Thinking of this, I suddenly opened my eyes, walked to the dressing table and looked at myself in the bronze mirror, stretched out my hand and slowly traced my red lips. "Shan, am I still beautiful?" Shanshan was startled for a moment, then said with a smile: "Miss's appearance is unparalleled in the world, enough to overwhelm the country." I was noncommittal, but turned to tell her, "Get the fragrant soup ready, I want to take a bath and change clothes, and also take out the secret sesame oil enshrined by Tianzhu the year before last..." Shanshan replied, then bowed her head and walked down to get ready. After all the palace people retreated, I found the purple shell pendant that had been pressed at the bottom from the jewelry box, looked at it with a complicated expression, and finally put it on my hand after a long time. I am a woman, and all I can use is a woman's capital. The moonlight is bright tonight, but there is silence in the deep palace. People in the harem were panicked, no one dared to act rashly, for fear of getting involved, so they all went to bed early. King Quan Yu's room was dark, without the slightest sound. I walked softly to the door, stretched out my hand and slowly pushed it open, and the moonlight broke into the house through the open door, illuminating the layout of the room. King Quan Yu was lying on the bed, suddenly got up vigilantly, picked up the sword beside the bed, his eyes were shining in the faint darkness, and asked in a deep voice: "Who?!" I closed the door with both hands, and the room became darker. With my back against the door, I replied calmly, "It's me." He recognized my voice, slightly let go of the sword in his hand, and looked at me silently. I smiled at him, loosened my body, and the robe embroidered with silver thread that reflected the stars in the moonlight fell to the ground softly like water. I stepped forward gently, got on his bed, sat on him, stretched out my hand and pulled down the brocade curtain with red embroidered birds on the bed. Then I moved my hand away from the sword in his hand, and he let go of it slowly without any resistance.I laughed softly, and whispered evilly: "I, I want you to watch me carefully tonight..." I untied the tie of the kimono, and pulled the middle jacket to my waist, revealing the red apron embroidered with hibiscus. I could feel my full and firm breasts filling the cover, what would that look like in the eyes of a man? scenery. He still looked at me silently, neither pandering nor rejecting. I smiled indifferently, stroked his face with my icy hands, bent down, and gently grabbed his chin.Then my hand slowly moved to his neck, and my lips also moved down to his Adam's apple. I kissed all the way, when my hand reached into his shirt and touched his firm chest vaguely, I Pushing his pajamas away provocatively with his lips, and then biting the sensitive part with his teeth, he finally let out a low moan from his throat. However, at this moment I straightened up and looked at him proudly and presumptuously. There is a trace of calmness in his eyes, but also mixed with deep lust, just like the entanglement and struggle between flood and fire. He stretched out his right hand, groped for my smooth back, and skillfully untied the tie at the back of the apron. His fingertips were rough and hot, making my back itch. Then he couldn't wait to put his hand into my loose bellyband, and put his big hand on my perfectly streamlined breasts, half-playing with revenge. My breathing was a little uncontrollable, and there was a flash of panic in my heart. I grabbed his hand and waved him away, showed him a charming smile, and then lowered my body to kiss him. Gradually, I felt his rapid and unsteady breathing. I raised my head and glanced at him, only to see the painful expression on his always resolute face. Knowing that the time had come, I said softly, "The Fourteenth Prince... " This sentence is also right and wrong. Zhuan Fu is the appointed heir, but the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held.If he recognized Zhuan Fu in his heart, then he would take advantage of this moment to express his intentions; if he wanted to be the emperor himself, he would acquiesce in the title of prince, not emperor. He froze for a moment, his eyes gradually calmed down, and he just looked at me straight. At that moment, the world seemed to stand still. After a while, he said calmly: "What does the new emperor want me to do..." This sentence made me stop all movements, I left his body, opened the curtain and got out of bed, blew out the lights, and the room returned to the previous darkness. I tidied up my clothes and picked up the robe that was lying on the ground and put it on. I didn't say anything during that time, just turned my back to him, and he looked at me and didn't ask anything. Everything was as if nothing had happened. When I stretched out my hand to open the door, his deep and indifferent voice came, "What would you do if I didn't promise you tonight?" My hand rested on the door, I froze in place, and replied for a long time: "I will be punished in the name of blaspheming the emperor and concubine." Then I opened the door resolutely. "Tell your son to let him sit on his throne safely, and I...don't owe you anything..." I closed the door, looked around blankly and said, "You can step back." I only heard a slight sound among the flowers and plants, and everything returned to calm. I leaned against the vermilion pillar and couldn't hold back anymore and slid on the ground weakly. I curled up to cover my face but couldn't hide my low and suppressed crying. I can feel the coldness of his tone, the disdain in his eyes, I can't stand it. I didn't expect that one day we would become like this. Whose fault is it... The royal palace held a grand memorial ceremony for the late emperor, who was buried in the Tailing Mausoleum, and the temple name was Yinmuzong. After that, a grand and solemn enthronement ceremony was held, and Zhuan Fu ascended the throne as emperor. Because he was still young, it was logical that I would listen to the government behind the curtain. Zhuan Fu said to me nervously: "Mother, my son is afraid..." I smiled slightly, and said softly: "There is nothing to be afraid of, the queen mother is behind you. Come, hold the queen mother's hand, and we will go up together." Zhuan Fu obediently came over to help me, and we walked slowly into the Golden Luan Hall together. Zhuan Fu sat on the large golden dragon chair, and I slowly sat down behind the dragon chair through the golden curtain. All the ministers below fell to their knees in unison, and said, "Long live my emperor! Long live, long live! The empress dowager is a thousand years old!" The voice was loud and majestic, echoing for a long time on this golden palace. I waved my hand to wake them up, and then the servant beside me said in a shrill voice: "If you have the right to do something, if you don't have the right to retreat—" I looked ahead solemnly, passed through the Golden Luan Palace, passed through the palace, and saw thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. My life has just begun. That year, I was twenty-five years old and became the youngest empress dowager in history.
