After Dawn Chapter 21: The Queen (1)
"...Finally, Zhou Jingsheng found out that the innocent and lovely Song Chen was his true love. Song Qingran was narrow-minded, sinister and vicious, and really didn't deserve to be a queen, so he put him into the cold palace and made Song Chen his queen. "
"Song Chen, as the first male queen, contributed to the masculinity of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Every family was proud of raising male favorites, and the status of women was getting lower and lower. Many women were even tortured to death by their husbands. The fertility rate has reached the lowest point, showing a negative growth trend... A hundred years later, it will be difficult for men in Dazhou to marry and have children. , resentful..."
"Your mission is not to let the Zhou Dynasty prevail in the end."
……
"Niang Niang, your health is important, you should eat some."
"Niangniang, the emperor still loves you, but he was fascinated by Hu Meizi."
"My Lady..."
The empress, who was being called by them earnestly, came back to her senses, her eyes flashed with confusion, and then she was filled with deep grief: "Love? Where is there any love..."
"Fengtian, the emperor's edict said, Queen Song, who is jealous, framed her younger brother many times, and is difficult to be the mother of all people in the world. She specially gave fireworks in March to show her holiness."
The queen kowtowed quietly, her face was dead silent: "Thank you Lord Longen."
"My Lady!"
The woman raised her head and poured the poisoned wine down. Her fair neck was curved in the air. The palace servants around her knelt on the ground with their foreheads firmly pressed against the ground. I don't know who started, and sobbed one after another. the sound of.
"My Lady..."
"What are you crying for, I'm not dead yet!" Qing Ran threw it down, and the glazed lamp shattered on the ground. A pity flashed in the eyes of the little **** who came to issue the imperial decree. This is the best wish in the palace. There were only four colored glass cups in the entire palace, but one of them was shattered by the Empress.
Seeing the contempt in the eunuch's eyes, Qing Ran was not angry, she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her long sleeves, and said calmly, "Mingyue, send my father-in-law out for me."
"Don't work girl anymore." The **** who passed the decree had a fake smirk on his face. "The emperor also gave the miscellaneous family a word of mouth. Please cherish this last day."
"Please also convey my gratitude to the emperor."
"This is the favor that Song Gongzi begged for your empress."
Hearing the name Song Gongzi, Qing Ran's mouth crossed a sneering smile, but it was fleeting: "Let's pass it on to Song Gongzi as well."
March Fireworks Liren Zui, the name March Fireworks originally refers to a fine wine called Li Ren Zui, but in this deep palace it has become a poisonous pickle. The person who takes this poison will become extremely beautiful in a very short period of time. However, although the fireworks are beautiful, they are fleeting. This beauty can last for less than twelve hours.
Taking off her complicated palace clothes, Qingran ordered the maid to put on the clothes Song Qingran had been a girl in at home, and pulled up a simple bun. She looked at herself in the mirror, maybe it was Because of the fireworks in March, the recent haggardness on her face was covered, and her cheeks were flushed with a healthy blush. Without makeup, she was already incomparably beautiful.
So she just sipped her lips lightly, and let the close-fitting palace servant red-eyed and put a hairpin made of white jade for her.
"I'm out for a walk, don't have to follow me."
"Niangniang, where are you going?" Mingyue asked worriedly.
The woman who had already reached the palace gate stopped, as if she was thinking. The palace servants behind her did not get her order and dared not go forward easily. Even though she is already a dying person, she is also a former empress, and she once sat on a high position, the mother of the world.
——No one dares to touch her dignity except the emperor.
"I've been trapped in this deep palace for ten years, and I have never seen what the sky looks like outside."
"The world is so big, there is always a place for me to bury my bones."
"Don't follow me."
She steps out.
……
Song Chen, the second son of Song Lihui, the imperial grandfather.
Song Qingran, the eldest daughter of Song Lihui, the imperial grandfather.
The former is this year's champion, and the latter is the empress of the dynasty. It stands to reason that if the two support each other, the Song family's rise will be just around the corner.
However, Song Chen was transmigrated. The person possessing him was called Song Chenchen, a seventeen-year-old high school girl. The champion of the first entry to the palace, full of talents and knowledge but naive and ignorant, attracted the attention of the thoughtful emperor, and the two sparked love in the constant contact. At the beginning, Song Qingran was very happy that his younger brother was appreciated by the emperor, because although Father Song was the imperial grandfather of the dynasty, the Song family had long since fallen, and he could only rely on Song Qingran's name as the empress of the dynasty to support the scene. If Song Chen can be reused, the rise of the Song family is just around the corner, then she will have a strong support in the harem, and she doesn't have to worry about her son's lack of strength in the future.
But the wise and wise Empress gradually figured out that something was wrong with Song Chen and Zhou Jingsheng. The emperor looked at his younger brother with a strong possessiveness, not like an emperor looking at his ministers , more like the look of a man looking at his beloved woman.
She was shocked. Although she hoped that her younger brother could be her helper, she loved her family more and didn't want Song Chen to become the emperor's favorite, so she privately persuaded Song Chen to distance herself from Zhou Jingsheng several times. Song Chen has always been a good younger brother. He has a beautiful appearance. Under Song's father's guidance, he is knowledgeable and polite. After being admitted to Tanhua Lang, he once jumped to the first place in the capital of women's dreams. Song Qingran believed that he knew this younger brother. He had already had a childhood sweetheart at home who exchanged affections, and he definitely didn't want to lie down under the man's body to be a pet, but he didn't know that this Song Chen was not the other Song Chen. Song Chen, who was possessed by Chen, repeatedly promised in front of her that he didn't like men, but turned his back and cried bitterly in front of the emperor, saying that he was sorry for the elder sister, and that he fell in love with the person he shouldn't love.
Let's not say whether she was intentional or unintentional, what she did was undoubtedly stab Song Qingran in front of the emperor. Zhou Jingsheng was originally dissatisfied with Song Qingran's strictness and old-fashionedness. Even on the bed, she was as prudent as a dead fish, but because she was the queen of the dynasty and gave birth to his eldest son, she didn't make any big mistakes. Thinking of the love between the two young husbands and wives, they didn't attack her.
But now Song Qingran's warning made Song Chen want to stay away from him, which undoubtedly touched Zhou Jingsheng's bottom line. He called the queen to the imperial front for several reprimands. Song Qingran felt aggrieved, but still didn't believe it. Song Chen was really willing to commit himself to the emperor, so he sent people to investigate several times, but Song Chen's thoughts were found out, Song Qingran also found out that the current Song Chen was not his brother at all, but did not know Some kind of monster took over Song Chen's body.
Song Qingran sister and brother grew up together since they were young, and their relationship was so deep that ordinary people could not imagine. After learning that Song Chen had been possessed by a monster, Song Qingran was first in grief, then angry, and vowed to kill him Kill this monster and save your brother. To this end, she secretly invited a master, but unfortunately the so-called master is nothing but a vain person. There is no way to deal with Song Chen's situation. On the contrary, Song Qingran's side was found out by Zhou Jingsheng due to the lack of manpower. to use witchcraft in the palace.
Since ancient times, the word witchcraft has always been a taboo in the palace. No one does not know how witchcraft can harm people invisible. Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties are extremely afraid of this matter, and once discovered, they will be severely punished.
Song Qingran just invited a fake monk, but Zhou Jingsheng sent her a witch doll, which gave her a name with ulterior motives. She cut her queen position, entered the cold palace, sent poisonous wine, and pushed her into Huangquan.
The so-called marital friendship is nothing but a fake mask.
Qingran thought of this, and looked up at the palace gate, which was only a short distance away. Song Qingran married the emperor at the age of thirteen, and was locked in the deep palace all her life. She did not see anyone outside the palace for fifteen years. The world, now that people are dead, but the body has finally walked out of the palace under the manipulation of Qingran, it is a bit ridiculous to think about it.
"See the Empress." The guards guarding the palace gate looked at each other in surprise and saluted respectfully.
It's not new news that the Empress was put into the cold palace, but there are not a few women who have climbed up from the cold palace since ancient times, not to mention Song Qingran, who has been sitting on the throne of the queen for fifteen years. Dare to underestimate her.
The news that the emperor gave poisoned wine has not yet come out, so these guards do not know that the person standing in front of them is already a dying person.
"What queen, it's just..." Her voice was very low, and the guards did not understand what she said, only to see a sarcastic and self-deprecating smile on her face. Bai Yi, under the afterglow of the sunset, as if the sadness of the world fell on her, "Forget it, open the palace gate, this palace is going out."
It's funny to say that Zhou Jingsheng gave him poisonous wine, but he gave her a token like a favor. With this token, she can go in and out of any place, including the palace, at will during the day.
—Supposedly to keep her from leaving regrets before she dies.
——It is said to be the order of the kind-hearted Young Master Song.
Empress Song Qingran has lived in the deep palace for many years. In order to avoid suspicion, she never interfered in the affairs of the state, nor did she have any contact with courtiers. She seldom even held a banquet to connect with her wife. She was forced by Zhou Jingsheng and Song Chen to such an extent that even a There is no one who can ask for help, and she herself has few people who can use it, and she was killed by the emperor after finding out the witchcraft technique, except for all of them.
The system requires not to let the male-male style prevail in the Zhou Dynasty. Qing Ran believes that he has no ability to turn the emperor Zhou Jingsheng from a crooked to a straight one, but as long as Zhou Jingsheng is still the emperor for a day and loves Song Chen for a day, this task will not be completed. , the only way she could think of was to pull Zhou Jingsheng down directly from the throne and replace him with someone who wouldn't be swayed by Song Chen, who had the halo of a heroine, and be a normal emperor.
But at the moment she has no manpower and no goals, and faces a dead end. Zhou Jingsheng and Song Chen's actions of hypocrisy were just her lifeline.
Since this is the case, Qing Ran can't waste this "kindness".
