Spring Drunk Chang'an

Xiao Xun tried his best, using his wisdom to stop Emperor Yingwu from wavering.

He would do anything to save his life.

Emperor Yingwu was indeed reluctant to part with his son whom he had favored for half his life. Seeing his frightened and humble appearance, the old emperor's heart was broken. However, the result of his being moved was that his beloved woman was beheaded in public.

How can he accept this?

The other side of Xiao Xun's efforts and his unhesitating desire to save his life was that he didn't care about his mother's life at all.

Xiao Chuo said it very clearly, one of Qu and Xiao Xun had to die, but Xiao Xun tried so hard to save his life. He took advantage of not being imprisoned and instead took the opportunity to slander Qu to Emperor Yingwu. Wasn't he also putting Qu to death?

Qu was not only Emperor Yingwu's true love, she was also Xiao Xun's mother. She had given everything for Xiao Xun over the years, and even her ultimate goal in this rebellion was to help Xiao Xun ascend to the throne.

As a result, in the situation where two people lived and one died, Emperor Yingwu never saw Xiao Xun and never thought about his mother at all. He even did not have any emotions such as hesitation and guilt.

He chose himself without hesitation.

There was no guilt at all during this period.

How could Emperor Yingwu not be heartbroken when faced with such a cold-hearted son?

But he really couldn't bear to do it.

So, the old emperor was really heartbroken, just as Xiao Chuo had imagined.

More than ten years ago, he finally experienced what Queen Song had felt like, tossing and turning all night long because of her daughter.

-

In order to avenge her mother and sister, Xiao Chuo treated her old father ruthlessly.

Queen Song, who had been thinking about her daughter for more than ten years, was of course more concerned about this matter than he was.

Xiao Chuo targeted Emperor Yingwu. In her opinion, the root of the disaster was the old emperor's connivance. He was the main culprit, and Qu was a thing of the past, whose fate was already decided.

No matter who the old emperor chooses, he ascends the throne and Queen Song becomes the empress dowager. This result is enough to make Qu's life worse than death.

As for Xiao Xun, he was a waste. Not to mention Emperor Yingwu, in Xiao Chuo's eyes, his status was not even as good as Qu's.

He disdains to target women, nor does he want to lower his status to deal with a loser.

Killing someone is enough.

But Queen Song couldn't do that.

Pregnant in October and giving birth once.

Queen Song was pregnant with the little princess for seven months. From the time she was unconscious, to the time she felt her baby's first movements, stretching its little arms and legs and responding to her voice...

She had been looking forward to that child.

She had described her appearance, imagined her growth, and even fantasized about her future when the imperial physician diagnosed her as a little princess...

Will she look like herself? Or her father? Or her brother?

If she looked like herself, it would be fine, as Empress Song was very beautiful. But if she looked like Emperor Yingwu or her brother, then it would be over! !

Emperor Yingwu was of ordinary appearance. Although Xiao Chuo was handsome, she was a man's immortal beauty, handsome and cold. Girls looked like him, and girls looked like boys, but they were not beautiful...

During her pregnancy, Queen Song was full of wild thoughts but still full of joy and hope. As a result, she gave birth prematurely in July. The baby struggled violently in her womb and she was in unbearable pain.

After two full days of labor, the baby stopped moving in her womb.

Queen Song truly realized that her child had died in her womb.

She didn't miss a single moment of that process.

As a mother, this is the cruelest torture.

After two days and two nights of suffering, Queen Song gave birth to a stillborn baby. Looking at the pretty girl, whose eyebrows and eyes looked especially like her, but whose whole body was blue and purple, and there was no trace of life.

Queen Song held the dead body in her arms, filled with hatred that almost made her want to destroy the world. Despite her illness, she wanted to avenge her child.

She was fine and her baby was healthy. Without that bowl of soup, she would not have given birth prematurely, nor would she have had a difficult delivery, suffocating the baby to death.

She wants to avenge her child and investigate all the palaces thoroughly.

But Emperor Yingwu stopped her, just when she was about to find out the truth...

The person who bribed the palace maid who served the meals was Qu.

However, just when Empress Song was about to interrogate her and obtain evidence, Emperor Yingwu sent people to forcibly take the palace maid away. Two days later, what was sent back was a corpse.

Emperor Yingwu told her that the person who harmed her was a concubine named Ji in the palace, and the reason why the palace maid who served the meals pointed fingers at Qu was entirely because of the order of Concubine Ji.

It was Ji Jieyu who wanted to frame Qu and cause a fight between the Empress and the Imperial Concubine in the palace so that she could reap the benefits.

It has never been so clean and neat. After Emperor Yingwu "notified" everyone, he made Ji Jieyu "die of illness", and even her family was implicated.

After Queen Song finished her confinement and came out of Fengqi Palace, the three members of the Ji family were demoted to a cold and bitter place on the border.

What else could she say?

There are no witnesses or physical evidence, and even the "murderer" is dead.

Queen Song had no choice but to grit her teeth and accept it.

But Ji Jieyu was just a young girl who had just entered the palace for a year and was only fifteen years old.

Where did she get the ability and courage to bribe the people in Fengqi Palace?

You know, although her family power is not small, she is an official sent out to the capital, and she has very few relatives and friends in the capital, let alone in the palace?

She couldn't even gather the servants in her own palace, so how could she reach into the inner palace?

What's more, with her status, why would she harm Queen Song? A little girl who doesn't even have a son killed Queen Song. How could she ascend to the throne?

Ji Jieyu had no reason to harm her.

Not only Queen Song, but also Duke Cheng'en, the Crown Prince and all the concubines in the palace knew about this, but Emperor Yingwu used his imperial power to silence everyone.

His words are golden, no one can do anything to him!

Queen Song could only watch her enemy flexing his muscles, watch Xiao Chuo being squeezed out day by day, watch her sanctuary becoming increasingly deserted, and watch the admiration and adoration for Emperor Yingwu in his eyes gradually diminish.

In the end, Xiao Chuo no longer considered Emperor Yingwu as her father.

Although my son said he didn't care, a child only has one pair of parents, so how could he really turn a blind eye?

The death of her daughter was a watershed moment. She and her son not only lost a sister, but also lost their husband and father.

The son hated Emperor Yingwu.

Queen Song not only hated Emperor Yingwu, she also hated Qu. Her son was unwilling to argue with a woman, but she was willing to do so. After all, after so many years, she wanted to give an explanation to herself and her daughter.

It can be seen that Emperor Yingwu wanted to go to the Ministry of Punishment for the nth time to find Qu Shi, but was stopped by Xiao Xun. The father and son hugged each other and cried bitterly...

Queen Song packed up, put on a gray cloak, and took two confidants with her. Without disturbing the Crown Prince and Liu Chang'an, she went directly to the Ministry of Punishment.

Led by the steward of the Shenxing Division, the group followed the dark corridor and arrived at the innermost prison.

It was a small, clean single room, with straw on the floor and tattered quilts piled in the corner...
