marry queen

This year's New Year's Eve banquet, Fu Wei specially asked Zhou Zhaoyi to be in charge. The Queen Mother Zhou was very pleased when she learned about it, and happily said to Bian Qi that the emperor wanted to experience Zhou Zhaoyi so that she could gain more experience, so that she could ascend to the post in the future. There are also benefits.

After New Year's Eve, Zhou Zhaoyi stayed in bed for several days, saying that she couldn't lift up her strength and always felt lazy and wanted to sleep, but she refused to tell the imperial doctor, only saying that she was busy with the affairs of the harem these days and was tired.The Empress Dowager Zhou was sitting under the window with a cup of ginseng and red date porridge, and when she heard the maid of Yuxiu Palace report the matter, after the maid left, the Empress Dowager stirred the porridge in the bowl, contemplated for a while, then suddenly raised her head, and said to Bian Qi : "The symptom of Yixin, could it be that you are happy?"

After hearing this, Bian Qi also felt that it was possible, and said with a smile: "Then I have to congratulate the Queen Mother, but Lady Zhaoyi refuses to let the imperial doctor go to see it, so you have to see it before you can rest assured."

"It's true. Yixin is young, so I probably haven't found it yet. You can find an imperial doctor tomorrow." The Queen Mother Zhou couldn't help being happy when she thought that Zhou Yixin might be pregnant with Fu Yi's child. Fu Jue committed so many crimes since she was a child, and she was weak and sick. If Zhou Yixin could give birth to a prince and then become a queen, the world would naturally still be under her control.

On the second day, before he had time to find the imperial doctor, Fu Yi came to Yongshou Palace early in the morning to greet the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was happy and her attitude towards him became better and better. I have lunch at Yongshou Palace.

The Empress Dowager hugged the snow-white pug, teasing it and said to Fu Yu: "I've been feeling sick these days, has the Emperor visited it?"

Fu Yi hurriedly said: "At first, I wanted to go to see it, but she shirked it, saying that there was nothing serious about it, that she didn't wear make-up when she was ill, and that it was not suitable for face-to-face, so her son didn't go."

"Look, Aijia, she's not sick, she's an excuse to hide. This child has been like this since she was a child, and she doesn't want to worry about it. She hosted the New Year's Eve dinner a few days ago. I'm afraid she was tired. She is really childish. How can you be so squeamish in the future?" The Empress Dowager Zhou seemed to blame, but in fact she implied that Zhou Yixin was the material to be a queen between the lines.

Fu Yi sneered in his heart, but still smiled respectfully on his face, following the Queen Mother's words, he said, "Yixin is still young, so I would like to practice more. Today, my son stays in the mother's harem to eat, so why not call him Yixin?" Come here too, my mother said last year that we are a family and we should sit quietly and have a meal all year round."

Hearing Fu Yu's words, the Queen Mother Zhou was very happy. She really thought that Fu Yu had taken a fancy to their family and Zhou Yixin. She took advantage of the situation and thought that no matter how much Fu Yu doted on Shen Zhiqiu, he would never be able to have children. Therefore, he smiled and said: "It's rare for the emperor to think of going with Ai's family, but his heart is sick, and he is afraid that he doesn't want to get up."

"Didn't the queen mother just say that she was just trying to avoid laziness, and asked Aunt Bianqi to invite her, saying that both I and the queen mother were here, and I thought, she would never stop coming." Fu Wei suggested.

The Empress Dowager Zhou responded with a smile, called Bian Qi, and said: "Take an imperial doctor to Yuxiu Palace to have a look at Yixin, if there is no serious problem, tell her to come to Yongshou Palace for dinner."

"Your servant obeys." Bian Qi took the order and left.

Fu Yi continued to talk with the Queen Mother Zhou, talking about the changes of officials in the court and the frontier affairs this year. Fu Yi said: "After the peace talks the year before last, the Turks have been honest for a while, but recently they have become restless again."

Empress Dowager Zhou thought of her youngest daughter, Fu Ran, who is now 15 years old. She was worried that Fu Wei would propose marriage in order to improve the relationship with the Turks, so she hurriedly said: "The Turks are so rampant, the emperor can't forgive them easily, Now that the national treasury is full, if they continue to cause chaos, they must send troops to put down the chaos."

Fu Yi knew the Queen Mother Zhou's thoughts very well. He mentioned the Turkic matter to her today, but also wanted to remind her, and said: "What the Queen Mother said is true, so naturally it cannot be forgiven."

The mother and the son were talking, and Bian Qi, who had been gone for a while, came back in a hurry. She walked in a hurry, looking distraught. When she came in, she first glanced at Fu Yi, then knelt down tremblingly, and returned to the Queen Mother: " Report to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, the servants... the servants went to Yuxiu Palace to invite Empress Zhaoyi according to your instructions."

Seeing her look like this, the Queen Mother Zhou couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? Isn't Yixin willing to come?"

Bian Qi seemed to be greatly frightened, her face turned pale, and she said to the maids serving in the room, "You all go out and close the door."

The maids went out as promised, and closed the door behind them, leaving only three people in the room. The queen mother was very puzzled by her behavior, and asked with a frown, "What's the matter?"

Bian Qi's body was still trembling slightly, and he changed his usual prudent demeanor, lowered his head and said anxiously: "Return to the emperor, queen mother, slave girl... slave servant is guilty of death, the fact that slave servant met is too shocking, slave servant... slave servant... dare not say."

Bian Qi is an old man who has been with the Empress Dowager Zhou for decades, and she has always acted very prudently. She is the No.1 around the Empress Dowager Zhou, and she is very old. Sometimes Fu Wei respects her a lot, which is evident from her status in the palace. She has helped the Queen Mother Zhou deal with hundreds of incidents, and she has never been so afraid of anything. The Queen Mother Zhou knew that it was a big deal. Before she could speak, Fu Wei said in a deep voice: " .”

Bian Qi leaned his head firmly on the floor, took a deep breath, hesitated for a while, and then stammered: "Slave servant... Slave servant was ordered by His Majesty and the Queen Mother to take the imperial doctor to take the pulse of Empress Zhaoyi, but when it came to Yuxiu At the gate of the palace, they were blocked by the maids and refused to let them in. Seeing their flustered behavior, the servants were worried that Mistress Zhaoyi was in trouble, so they rushed in without hesitation... But when the servants walked to the gate of the palace, Lian, the maid who was close to Mistress Zhaoyi, Sheng also rushed out to stop the servant girl, but the servant girl had no choice but to use the name of the queen mother to force her way in. As soon as she broke in, she bumped into the face of Empress Zhaoyi. On...on the soft couch...see...see..." At this point, Bian Qi faltered and dared not say any more.

"What did you see?" Queen Mother Zhou asked calmly, clutching the stove.

Bian Qi didn't dare to look up at his master's expression, so he could only continue: "My servant saw...a man lying on a soft couch in Yuxiu Palace. At first, this servant thought that he had misread it, or that it was some ignorant little boy The eunuch confused his dignity, so he pushed away Lady Zhaoyi and went in for a closer look, only to find that the man was not an eunuch, he was wearing the clothes of a palace guard, but he was sleeping unconscious..."

"Presumptuous!" The Empress Dowager Zhou suddenly changed color, slammed the table, stood up, pointed to the side flag and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Bian Qi hurriedly kowtowed, one after another, crying: "I don't dare to lie a little bit in what I said, the imperial doctor who went with the slave also saw this matter, he is really a man..."

At this point, the Empress Dowager Zhou was speechless. She actually understood that Bian Qi was not a casual person, and the questioning was just to cover up her inner shock. Slumping down on the chair as if exhausted, the previous joy has long been washed away, and I just feel that everything I have painstakingly planned has been in vain. Zhou Yixin is determined to survive such a scandal. Even the Zhou family may suffer.

Fu Yi's face was ashen from just now, a sweet white glazed porcelain cup was pinched by him, leaving a deep mark in his hand, he seemed to be in disbelief, and seemed to be ashamed, so he kept silent.The air pressure in the room instantly became extremely low, and Bian Qi didn't even dare to let out the air, for fear of accidentally implicating himself.

After a long silence, Fu Yi sullenly asked, "Where are they now?"

His tone was extremely cold, Bian Qi couldn't help shivering, and replied: "The slaves locked them together with the imperial physician in Yuxiu Palace, without making a sound."

Fu Wei stood up, and said calmly with a cold face: "Anyone who knows about this matter will be killed with a stick, and the guard will be executed. As for Mrs. Zhou, he belongs to the queen mother, and the queen mother can deal with it herself." After finishing speaking, he walked away.

Although Fu Wei's tone was calm, he could hear a chill running down his back. After he walked for a long time, the Empress Dowager Zhou collapsed. Bian Qi hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and persuaded, "Queen Mother, please calm down."

The Empress Dowager Zhou was angry and resentful, her face pale as paper, she said angrily: "Prison Zhou Yixin and that guard and interrogate them carefully. If the Ai family wants to know when they hooked up, they have kept it from the Ai family for so long. As for the others People, do as the emperor wants, this matter must not be made public, if anyone finds out, you don't have to live."

Bian Qi's heart trembled, and he quickly knelt down and swore that he would definitely keep this matter a secret.

Zhou Yixin was imprisoned in Yuxiu Palace just like that, all the palace residents of Yuxiu Palace disappeared overnight, Yuxiu Palace was also sealed off, outsiders didn’t get any news, they didn’t know what was going on, all kinds of conjectures were everywhere in the palace spread.It is said that Empress Zhaoyi got seriously ill and infected the whole palace, and everyone died together. Some people also said that the haunting in the palace last time was related to Yuxiu Palace, and Yuxiu Palace was avenged by ghosts. The fetus was stillborn, and one corpse and two lives were killed in the stillborn fetus. It was very unknown, so the palace was closed.No matter what the reason is, in short, Yuxiu Palace has become an unknown place in people's eyes, and no one dares to approach it anymore.

Both Zhou Yixin and Fang Ling were tortured. They were tied up respectively, and they looked at each other from a distance. Looking at the blood on Zhou Yixin's body, Fang Ling said distressedly: "Why did you come here and make you suffer so much? I have always been a good empress in the palace, and I can still be a queen in the future."

Zhou Yixin smiled, happier than ever before. She looked at Fang Ling obsessively. They have been in the palace together for so long, but they have never looked at each other so blatantly like now. She said: "As long as To be with you, I am willing to suffer no matter how much, maybe I should have eloped with you in the first place, instead of being manipulated by my family and entering the palace as a puppet."

"I'm content to see you every day." Fang Ling said infatuatedly.

Zhou Yixin comforted him, "Young Master Yunyu said that he would save us from the palace. When we get out, we will fly away immediately and never return to the capital."

Fang Ling frowned, "Can he do it?"

"If not, I will die with you, that would be better than now." Zhou Yi thought.

Fang Ling was very moved and wanted to hug her tightly, but his hands were tied and he couldn't take a step closer to her.

They were imprisoned for five days. One night, the queen mother's people suddenly came and took them away from Yuxiu Palace secretly, and went to the Ye Tingsi in the palace. They were going to be executed, it was a scandal, and of course it could only be done quietly in the middle of the night.In the end, they would be drugged with poisoned alcohol, then dragged out and discarded in mass graves, before disappearing quietly into the palace.

The Empress Dowager Zhou had always said how much she loved her as a niece. Once she could not be used by her, she would not spare any sympathy. She was not even willing to give Zhou Yixin an earthen grave, so she was thrown in the mass grave forever.

That night, Shen Zhiqiu stayed up all night. When the sky was slightly bright, Qibao quietly pushed the door in. Shen Zhiqiu hurriedly sat up and asked, "Has the matter been settled?"

"Returning to the master, the servant exchanged the poisoned wine from Lady Zhaoyi and the others according to your instructions, and put the two prisoners on death row in their clothes, and threw them in the mass grave for them. The servant smeared honey on the faces of the death row prisoners, In a few days, their faces will be bitten by bugs, and no one will find out." Qibao replied.

Shen Zhiqiu asked again, "Where are the two of them?"

Qibao said: "The slave asked someone to hire a carriage. When they wake up, they may have already left the city."

Shen Zhiqiu put his heart into his stomach. He did this without telling Fu Yu. According to Fu Yu's wishes, neither Zhou Yixin nor Fang Ling can stay. His woman, he would not allow such a woman to live in the world.But Shen Zhiqiu felt that Zhou Yixin and Fang Ling were also the innocent party. They were in love with each other, but they were separated because of the Queen Mother Zhou's selfish desires. He asked Zhou Yixin specifically last time that she and Fang Ling only met occasionally in the palace. If there is no transgression, they are not guilty of death.

Shen Zhiqiu nodded, let Qibao back down, and lay down again by himself, thinking about the whole thing, his heart was full of embarrassment, this magnificent cage in the imperial palace, some people fought their heads to get in, but some people didn't think about it for a moment. Some people are for profit, some are for love, the true love in the world is rare and precious, and he doesn't want to see the ending of lovers who can only die for each other.

Fu Yi got up early to go to court, Jin Fu presented him with a dragon robe and a crown, bowed beside him and said, "Your Majesty, the palace servants of Ganquan Palace went to the mass grave last night."

Fu Yi's eyes darkened suddenly, he stretched out his arms to ask Jin Fu to dress him, closed his eyes and said, "Got it."
