Chapter 392 Tears
Mrs. Liao said something in Mrs. Chu's ear again, "Just now, the people from the Yinlin Guards went to the Duke Lu's Mansion and surrounded the Lu Mansion."
"Gong Lu Guo hasn't come out of the palace yet. He said he was imprisoned. He is with Concubine Lu, the second prince, and the third prince."
Mrs. Liao's voice was so low that only Mrs. Zeng and Xia Zihan beside her heard it. Even Ms. Li heard it vaguely and was not sure what she said.
Then, as if nothing had happened, Mrs. Liao helped Zeng move forward with a calm look on her face, as if she was not the one gossiping just now.
The corner of Xia Zihan's mouth twitched. Today, she finally knew from whom Liao Fangyi had inherited her strong gossip.
Sure enough, a tiger mother has no dog daughter.
He is also brave enough. He is not afraid of the emperor when he first enters the palace. He is surrounded by palace guards and he dares to gossip about the affairs in the palace.
However, although she had already guessed the fate of the Lu family, she still couldn't help but give the eldest prince a thumbs up when she heard it.
This speed of destroying the enemy is indeed decisive.
Accurate enough, ruthless enough, and fast enough, without giving the enemy a chance to breathe and counterattack.
She knew that this life was different from the previous life. The court was not the Lu family's one-spoken hall. Song Baiqing was not the deputy commander of the Yinlin Guards. He had no chance to incite the Yinlin Guards to betray the emperor. The cabinet ministers were no longer The Lu family’s loyal dog...
In short, everything is different from the previous life. All of this was controlled by the Lu family in the previous life, but now it is all in the hands of the eldest prince.
The fate of the eldest prince will also be different.
Sure enough, the eldest prince won and the Lu family lost.
The Lu family has no chance of turning around.
When a group of married women arrived at Jingren Palace where the emperor's funeral was held, they were led into a side hall by the palace maid, and each of them was assigned a mourning dress.
While changing into mourning clothes, Mrs. Liao suddenly remembered the two girls from the Zeng family and said, "The two nieces are still at the Liao family. They have been thinking about the old lady very much these days. It is quiet outside now. Tomorrow I will ask them to pay their respects to the old lady.”
On the day of the accident, Zeng Yiran happened to go to the Xia family for a wedding banquet. Zeng Jing and Zeng Ning were invited by Liao Fangyi to visit the Liao family. However, at noon, the capital was in chaos. There were murderous people running around in the dark outside. No one dared to let the two delicate little girls from the Zeng family go back like this, so they stayed at the Liao family.
It wasn't until the evening, when the battle at Chu's house was over, that Xia Zihan remembered the three Zeng brothers and sisters. She sent two secret guards to the Xia family and the Liao family respectively to tell them to stay in the Liao family and the Xia family. He waited until she sent someone to pick him up before he could come back.
Xia Zihan did this because he did not intend for the Zeng family to be involved in the affairs of the Chu family and the Chu family.
Unexpectedly, after a long time, she actually forgot about them.
We should have sent someone to pick them back today.
Xia Zihan twitched her lips guiltily and said, "I will send someone to pick them up tomorrow morning."
After a group of people put on their mourning clothes and went to the main hall, they found that a large group of ministers were already kneeling in front of the emperor's mourning hall.
The queen and the eldest prince knelt at the front, near the coffin.
Rather than saying that the queen was kneeling there, she was actually sitting there, leaning weakly against the eldest prince.
The queen at this moment has lost her former grace and beauty. Now she is like a person who is extremely decadent. Her face is pale and lifeless, her eyes are black and blue, and she is crying. She must be extremely sad. , so he would lean on the eldest prince regardless of his image.
After Xia Zihan saw it, he couldn't help but worry about her health.
This also made Zeng, who wanted to go to the queen to ask for a favor, unable to do so.
The queen is already on her knees, how can they still be lazy?
Having no other choice, Mrs. Zeng found a remote place and knelt down with Mrs. Xia Zihan and Zhuo.
Soon, a palace maid in mourning clothes gave them a hemp rope to tie around their waists, and told them softly, "The queen has a favor. Lao An has a weak body. After kneeling for half an hour, he went Rest for half an hour in the side hall.”
Sure enough, just like kneeling before the late emperor's coffin, all Lao'an people in various mansions will be taken care of by the royal family.
Mrs. Zeng thanked the palace maid in a low voice, but did not mention the favor to Xia Zihan again.
The queen knelt down in person. If she asked for favors from Xia Zihan and it fell into the eyes of others, it would be disrespectful to the dead emperor.
What's more, when the emperor was still alive, he rewarded Xia Zihan many times. Now that the emperor has passed away, Xia Zihan should do something for the emperor.
After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Zeng became cruel and did not ask for favors for Xia Zihan. This was also good for Xia Zihan, so as to prevent others from using her as a leverage to harm her in the future.
After kneeling down for a cup of tea, suddenly, there was a commotion outside the hall, and everyone couldn't help but lower their heads and turn around, secretly looking behind them.
He unexpectedly saw a member of the direct lineage of the Lu family, who was gagged and tied up.
At this time, the queen and the eldest prince stood up, and the eldest prince helped the queen step by step toward the decadent Duke Lu.
Seeing Duke Lu Guo drooping his head like a defeated rooster, the queen smiled sadly and said, "Mr. Lu Guo, you and your daughter are really good. The emperor married her and doted on her in every possible way. He loved her very much. He also loved the second prince. The third prince also teaches with heart and is extremely kind to the Lu family, but how do you repay the emperor?"
"You tried so hard to take away the emperor's position, and even poisoned him. Doctor Bai worked hard to bring him back from hell. But in the blink of an eye, as soon as Doctor Bai stepped out of the palace, you guys took advantage of him. When I went to cook porridge for the emperor, I actually took his life..." The queen finally shouted out, hoarsely, with great grief, and her eyes staring at Duke Lu were full of resentment.
Among them, there is hatred towards the Lu family, resentment towards Concubine Lu, and regret towards herself.
If that day, the emperor had not said that he wanted to eat the vegetable porridge she made by herself, she would not have been willing to leave the emperor's side.
But the emperor hadn't eaten for several days and had just woken up. As soon as he opened his mouth, she couldn't bear to refuse him.
Unexpectedly, when she entered the emperor's bedroom with a bowl of warm vegetable porridge, she saw Concubine Lu standing by the bed, smiling ferociously, while the emperor on the bed was glaring at Concubine Lu angrily. Vomiting blood at the mouth and convulsing all over.
There were still four maids lying on the ground, as well as the emperor's valet and father-in-law.
She was so frightened that she let go of her hand, and with a bang, the bowl of vegetable porridge fell to the ground, and the bowl broke into several pieces.
Concubine Lu heard the sound, turned around and saw her, rushed over and strangled her neck.
"You witch, why don't you die? I hate you. I hate you. It's all you. He's not really good to me. It's all you... Hahaha... As long as you die, he will treat me Well, as long as you are all dead, this is all mine.”
Concubine Lu was like crazy and strangled her neck fiercely. It was the second prince who arrived in time to save her, "Concubine, keep her, we can still use her."
Without the queen in hand, how could he make his good royal brother obedient?
In this way, she was knocked unconscious by the second prince and imprisoned by Concubine Lu and her son.
When she woke up, she found that she was locked in a dark room. It was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.
She was trembling alone and uneasy inside. She was extremely scared. She was afraid that the emperor would die and that something would happen to the eldest prince.
For the first three days, people brought her meals, but then...she seemed to hear a fight outside and the sounds of putting out fires.
She didn't know what was going on outside, she could only vaguely hear it.
When she saw the light again, it was already this morning.
Her prince brought her here, and she was heartbroken when she saw the emperor's coffin. Later, she learned from her prince that it was Concubine Lu who colluded with Duke Lu to kill the emperor.
She was so excited when she saw Duke Lu.
"Gong Lu, you have watched him grow up, how can you bear it?"
"He is less than forty years old... Wuwu... He could have lived longer and could have grown old with me. He promised me all because of you... Lu Guogong, you are so cruel... How can you be so cruel..."
"What's that position? Is it that good, worth the thousands of lives of your nine Lu family members?"
"In my heart, that position is worthless, not as valuable as one of his hairs, but why did he lose his life for that position? Why... I would rather trade that position for his life, woo woo …”
The queen cried bitterly regardless of her image. The cry was so sad that everyone present shed tears.
It's so sad.
The queen must love the emperor very much, that's why she is so sad, and why she regards the emperor as more important than the entire Dasheng Dynasty.
She is just a woman. In a woman's heart, no country or power is more important than her husband and children.
Only when she lost her favorite husband did she feel so painful and desperate.
The eldest prince's eyes were red, tears fell drop by drop, and he advised with a choked voice, "Mother, don't be too sad, the emperor is still watching from the sky, the emperor will feel sorry for you when he sees you like this, you should also take good care of yourself, the emperor I still need you to take care of me.”
Worried that the queen would not be able to think about it, the eldest prince had no choice but to use himself, hoping that the queen would not have other thoughts for the sake of his still needing his mother.
Otherwise, if he loses his father and his mother who loves him, it would be too miserable for him to live alone in this palace.
The queen seemed to have been suppressing grief for a long time, and now she could not hold it back when she let it out. The eldest prince tried to persuade the queen for a long time, but when he saw that the queen was still in pain, he arranged for a few confidants to send the queen to a side hall to rest. .
After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy, so he ordered a few older Lao An people to persuade the queen.
Among them was Mrs. Chu.
Mrs. Chu stood up tremblingly with the support of the palace maid, gave instructions to Mrs. Zhuo and Xia Zihan, and went to the side hall.
Then, a group of guards came over escorting a beautiful woman and two teenagers.
These three people were also gagged and tied up. They were directly related to the Lu family and were kneeled at the front.
The eldest prince said, "Since you, the Lu family, are sorry for my father, then kneel before my father and pray for his forgiveness."
