The Prince Regent’s Violent Medical Consort Chapter 461: The Empress Dowager Dies
Chapter 461 The Empress Dowager Dies
Aunt Cuiyu's dish was fried, and it really came.
Prince An was here at the moment. He didn't even say hello when he arrived, and sat down beside the Danqing County Lord.
"Didn't your lord enter the palace?" Danqing County Lord asked with a smile.
"Come back, the old lady is not feeling well and will soon be gone." Prince An said.
"Second brother, when you come to my old mother-in-law's house, it's like returning to your own home. Are you ashamed?" Murong Jie asked.
Prince An glanced at him lightly, "Eat your food, it's windy, and you won't be afraid to flash your tongue when you talk nonsense."
Zi An looked at her mother and saw that the smile on her face became clearer, so she couldn't help laughing. It seemed that she also hoped that Prince An would be by her side tonight.
The New Year's Eve dinner passed by while talking, laughing, and laughing. Prince An seemed to have never eaten in the palace at all. He came here to eat and he was in a good mood.
After dinner, he said he would let the county master of Danqing paint for him, and took her to the yard.
The charcoal fire is booming, the house is warm, and the guests are coming.
Around the time of Hai, I saw Hu Huanxi, Xiao Tuo and his wife, Zhuang Zhuang, Rou Yao and others all coming.
We haven't been together very much lately, let's not mention how lively it is tonight.
Zi'an likes this kind of life full of friends and laughing together, which makes people feel that the years are quiet and infinitely beautiful.
A few days after the new year, it's almost the same as Zi'an's New Year's Day in modern times.
However, Murong Jie doesn't want to go to New Year's greetings, nor does he love others to come to pay New Year's greetings. For him, the New Year is a once-a-year vacation, which is very precious.
Although it hasn't been long since the last vacation, I took several days off when I got married, but who doesn't long for a peaceful day.
Amid all the fuss, the year has passed.
In the eighth day of the beginning of the year, Murong Jie was reluctant to get up in the morning, and the quilt kicked him out of bed. He had no choice but to go to work with two panda eyes, er, to go to court.
Opening the court after a vacation has almost the same problem every year, that is, there are so many things.
Murong Jie didn't come back until at night, when he entered the door, he collapsed on the bed, "I am exhausted to death."
Zi An came up with hot tea and said with a smile, "Are you tired? Come, drink hot tea first to drive away the cold."
Murong Jie sat up and took the tea, took two sips, and said, "It's cold today, it looks like it's going to snow, don't run around after the snow, and you're not feeling well."
"Well, there's nowhere to go. King Liang is much better now. If he does rehabilitation slowly, he will be fine." Zi An said.
"Well, how is the emperor's condition?" Murong Jie asked.
"Not very good." Zi'an shook his head, "I haven't been very energetic for a few days after the new year, and I have some edema. Even after taking medicine, the swelling doesn't go away. Now I can only rely on acupuncture."
"Is there anything else I can tell you about my old mother-in-law?"
"I didn't say anything."
"If he asks again, you have to be careful when you answer. I don't know what he has in mind. Also, with the third prince, you also ask about your homework. This king asked a few years ago, and the teacher said that he is rather naughty. , if you are not obedient, you can talk to Mei Fei."
"Well, okay." Zi An replied.
Years later, bad news came one by one. Zi An was already immersed in the quiet atmosphere of the New Year. Suddenly, a lot of things happened, and her head was big.
The first bad thing was the news that Beimo had violated the border. An army of 3,000 people in Beimo entered the small towns around the city, burned, looted, and killed more than 100 people.
This is the usual method of Bei Mo. Before dealing with Daliang, he also secretly sent people to break into the border. However, Bei Mo is very cunning. One shot, what the robber did.
Murong Jie was so furious that he called his ministers to discuss it overnight. I didn't dare to let the emperor know about this, for fear that if he gets angry in a hurry, it will affect his condition.
The second bad news is that the Empress Dowager's body suddenly deteriorated. No matter how much Zian did, she couldn't find out the cause. She lost weight every day, couldn't eat, and her face was pale.
The third bad news is that the taxes paid to the imperial court at the end of the year in Nanguo were robbed, and the news was not transmitted back to Beijing until after the Chinese New Year.
Every year, the imperial court sends people to transport them to various places, and this time, all the people sent by the imperial court died, and the taxes were looted. This is the annual tax of the southern country.
"Check, check!" Murong Jie gave several orders in a row, and the fire got bigger.
As soon as I sent someone down, I got news from Jixian that the grains in Jixian had been looted.
The grains in Jixian County were supplied to the frontier soldiers. They were supposed to be delivered after the year, but they were looted before delivery.
In addition, the warehouse where the cotton-padded clothes were placed was also set on fire.
Although the government of Ji County will start raising food immediately, it will take time, which means that the soldiers at the border will face a crisis of food shortage.
Nowadays, the weather is cold and there is a shortage of cotton-padded coats. These cotton-padded coats were made a few years ago and were sent along with the grain and grass. Now, they are all gone. How can so many cotton-padded coats be made in a short period of time?
If the North Desert invades again, the war will break out. There is no ration, will the soldiers drink the northwest wind?
Murong Jie ordered the prefectures and counties near Jixian County to help raise food, and he did not hesitate to buy the people's stored food at a high price, which meant another big expense.
Murong Jie was so busy that Zian didn't stop. The empress dowager and the emperor were both seriously ill. She didn't have time to leave the palace at all. She had to stay with the empress dowager at night.
The Empress Dowager couldn't find out the cause, so she continued to lose weight.
Zi An faintly felt that Da Zhou was about to fall into a new round of crisis.
Murong Jie also naturally sensed it, so even if King Nanhuai wanted to stay in the capital to get married, he would not allow him, and ordered him to leave for the southern kingdom immediately.
But just one day before King Nanhuai was about to leave, the Empress Dowager suddenly vomited blood and vomited out a pile of black blood. Zian happened to be in Xiwei Palace at the time. When he arrived, the Empress Dowager was dying.
Zi'an placed the needle, and the empress dowager reluctantly woke up, but it was no longer possible. She took Zian's hand and used all her strength to say to Zian: "Your Highness Concubine!"
I hate this.
Zi Anxin snorted and looked at the black blood on the ground. There seemed to be some worms wriggling in the black blood. She knew that the empress dowager was poisoned by poison, so it was no wonder that the cause could not be found.
But when did the empress dowager get poisoned? Sun Fang'er had never entered the palace other than a few months ago and said she wanted to be treated for the emperor. How did she get poisoned?
Zian's teeth itch with hatred. During the Chinese New Year, they let down their vigilance, but there are no enemies. The enemy has been waiting for them to relax.
On the 16th day of the first lunar month, the Empress Dowager dies!
Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Empress Dowager had an accident. This was a big blow to the royal family, as well as the emperor.
When the Empress Dowager passed away, there was no one present except Zi'an, Eunuch Sun and the maids who served her personally. It can be said that there was no child to die.
When the imperial concubine learned the news, she stumbled into the palace, lying on the empress dowager's corpse, crying heart-to-heart.
The funeral was handled by Concubine Mei Yifei, and all the palaces were mourning.
