Chapter 619 Support
Jiang Shaohua’s attitude was not enthusiastic, at least it did not show the enthusiasm that Concubine Fan Gui expected.
Concubine Fan Gui felt unhappy, but it was inconvenient and she could not show it.
Whether it is now or in the future, King Ping needs such a strong and non-threatening person who is good at government affairs. It is better to transfer part of the imperial power to Jiang Shaohua than to have it taken away by the King of Wu'an County or the King of Huaiyang... These two vassal kings have been restless since they entered the palace, going around to show their favor to win over their ministers, with evil intentions!
Every time she thought of these two people, Concubine Fan Gui's blood surged up and her heart was filled with anger.
Concubine Fan Gui thought she was euphemistically suggesting: "Prince Wu'an is old. I wonder if he can withstand the hard work of carrying the coffin to the imperial mausoleum."
The King of Huaiyang is still in his prime and strong, so there is no doubt about it. Prince Wu'an's hair is half white and he can be said to be old. It would be great if he could find an excuse to keep Prince Wu'an. It would also be a moderate punishment lesson for Prince Wu'an who was jumping up and down.
Jiang Shaohua said lightly: "As a vassal king, you should support the coffin. Prince Wu'an has to go if he can't withstand the hard work."
Concubine Fan Gui hit a snag and was quite bored. She said: "The princess has been thoughtful, but I was wrong."
Empress Dowager Zheng finally couldn't help it, and glared at her: "If you don't understand these things, just stop talking."
br>
Empress Dowager Li was so suppressed by Empress Dowager Zheng that she could not hold her head up, and Concubine Fan Gui had no confidence at all in front of Empress Dowager Zheng. She hurriedly stood up and apologized: "I have been too talkative and I have made a mistake. Please forgive me, the Empress Dowager."
Empress Dowager Zheng snorted coldly: "You are the biological mother of King Ping. When King Ping ascends the throne in the future, your Queen Mother will be indispensable." You just enjoy your dignity and wealth. If you don’t have the ability to do anything else, don’t worry about it. Don’t make trouble.” Yes.
The Empress Dowager Zheng ignored her and turned to Jiang Shaohua in a gentle voice: "The Prince of Wu'an and the Prince of Huaiyang are jumping up and down like clowns. The Ai family has its own way to deal with them. You don't have to worry about this, just rest assured and support them. It is a great achievement to take the coffin to the imperial mausoleum and keep Prince Ping safe and sound."
Jiang Shaohua frowned slightly and looked at Empress Dowager Zheng: "I have written down all my great-aunt's words. ”
Talking to smart people saves effort.
Empress Dowager Zheng twitched her lips, a frightening cold light flashed in her eyes.
“To the Empress Dowager,” a palace official entered the palace and said respectfully: “Ning’an Palace sent someone over to deliver a message. The Empress Dowager wants to see the princess.”
< br>On the day the rebels raised their troops, Queen Mother Li was held hostage by the rebels. Her neck was cut with a sharp knife, her trachea was injured, and she lost a lot of blood. During these days, he was carried back to Ning'an Palace to recuperate.
Jiang Shaohua has been staying in Zhaohe Palace and has no time to visit Empress Dowager Li in Ning'an Palace. Today, Empress Dowager Li learned that Jiang Shaohua had come to Jingyang Palace and immediately sent someone to invite him.
Empress Dowager Zheng frowned slightly: "That's fine, Shaohua, just go there."
Jiang Shaohua stood up and responded.
Concubine Fan Gui wanted to go along. Unfortunately, Empress Dowager Zheng did not give any orders, and Jiang Shaohua did not pay attention to her.
......
After burning the incense, Jiang Shaohua stepped into Ning'an Palace.
The death of Emperor Taihe was an almost fatal blow to Empress Dowager Li. Ning'an Palace is completely plain, showing a sense of decadence and loneliness. Just like the bleak life of Queen Mother Li, she lost her husband, her son, her father, and her biological nephew also died. The most important men in her life left her one after another. Coupled with the serious injuries she suffered, it is no exaggeration to describe Queen Mother Li's life as gloomy.
Jiang Shaohua stepped into Queen Mother Li's bedroom and saw an old woman with white hair. The graceful and charming Empress Dowager Li in the past experienced the greatest pain in the world for more than a month, and her black hair turned white.
She had layers of white gauze tied around her neck, and her neck had to be raised. Lying on the bed like this, she looked pitiful and lamentable.
Jiang Shaohua and Empress Dowager Li had been refusing to deal with each other. Seeing her appearance at this time, they felt a little sad and stepped forward to bow.
Empress Dowager Li's neck was seriously injured and she couldn't move around, but she could stretch out her hand without any problem. She reached out tremblingly, found Jiang Shaohua's hand, grabbed it hard, and managed to say: "Kill all the traitors and avenge the emperor." She struggled to say every word. After saying just one sentence, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
But she still insisted and finished speaking, staring at Jiang Shaohua.
Jiang Shaohua looked at Queen Mother Li and said slowly: "Jiang Yi is dead. I killed Wei Xiong in Gaoshan. Only Zheng Chen escaped."
Zheng Chen! ! ! This wolf-hearted thing! Jiang Song regarded him as a sibling and trusted him, but he didn't even care about his kindness. Such treacherous beasts should be cut into pieces and die a happy death!
Empress Dowager Li did not have the strength to curse, and the flames of anger and hatred flashed in her eyes. I cursed a hundred times in my heart.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will definitely capture Zheng Chen back to the capital and use his head to pay homage to my cousin's spirit in heaven." Jiang Shaohua solemnly promised.
Empress Dowager Li's eyes turned red, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
Jiang Shaohua did not wipe the tears of Queen Mother Li. We really don't have this friendship with each other.
A palace servant came forward and took a handkerchief to wipe Queen Mother Li's tears.
Empress Dowager Li calmed down a little, and said again: "The Ai family fully supports you."
When this sentence was spoken at this moment, it contained an unusual meaning.
Jiang Shaohua stared deeply at Empress Dowager Li and suddenly said: "The Empress Dowager still doesn't know what I want to do. I fully support these words, so I can't make any promises."
Empress Dowager Li is in life and death. After walking for a while, she seemed to be a different person. She repeated with difficulty: "The Aijia fully supports you."
No matter what you want to do.
As long as you can avenge my son, all this land will be given to you, so what’s the problem?
Jiang Shaohua also didn't expect that his first supporter would be Queen Mother Li.
She looked at Queen Mother Li and responded: "Okay."
......
After leaving Ning'an Palace, Jiang Shaohua went to Princess Baohua's house again Bedroom.
Princess Baohua went to death resolutely. After her death, her body was put into a coffin and placed in the palace. A simple mourning hall was also set up.
Too many people died in the palace, and the death of Princess Baohua is really a pity. However, everyone has to kneel down for the emperor and worship Princess Baohua, that is, the concubines in the harem.
Jiang Shaohua has been here once before, and he came here today to say his final goodbyes.
If an unmarried princess dies, she can be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
"Cousin Baohua, I will take you to the imperial mausoleum tomorrow." Jiang Shaohua walked to the coffin and whispered softly.
Princess Baohua lay quietly in the coffin, with a peaceful face, as if she had fallen into a dream that she would never wake up from.
Suddenly there was faint sobbing along with the sound of footsteps outside the door. Jiang Shaohua frowned and turned around, and a familiar female figure came into view.
