"Give me water...Give me...Give me water..."
Intermittent hoarse voices came from the dark storm room.
But today is New Year's Eve. There used to be two little eunuchs who came from time to time to see if people were dead. Today everyone went to watch the fireworks in front of the house. Who still remembers that there is an old woman locked up in the violence room?
"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak..."
It’s coming again, it’s coming, it’s coming again…
Those rats wandered around, making unbearable noises. In the darkness, the fear doubled. Empress Dowager Wu always felt that she would be eaten by these rats.
There was no mirror here, and she didn't know how haggard and haggard she looked, let alone how long she had been locked up here, but she guessed it was almost a year, right?
She's not sure!
I can't see the time and can only rely on my own body to feel the changes of the four seasons.
It's winter now, and there are fireworks and explosions. It's... New Year's Eve!
She could tell just by imagining that her face was probably withered, her hair was gray, and she no longer looked like a human being.
Empress Dowager Wu hugged her knees and tried to shrink herself up, not wanting to be touched by the mouse.
"Chirp chirp..."
"Ah ah ah ah ah……"
However, things don't go as planned. The more she fears something, the more it will happen.
Where she sat next to the corner with her waist, there were two soft objects shaking. The hairs all over her body stood up, and she jumped up from the ground screaming.
"Let me out! Let me out! Otherwise, kill me. I can't survive this day anymore, kill me!"
"Bah! Bah! Bah!"
She hit her head hard on the closed door. Before she lost consciousness, all that appeared in her mind was Concubine Jing's figure.
The noble girl from the Jing family in Longxi had been in and out of the palace since she was a child, and was the childhood sweetheart of the late emperor.
She was loved by her parents, loved by the emperor, and she was so lucky that she got a man in one fell swoop.
There were many women in the Queen's palace, all of them were as beautiful as flowers and jade, but the one who really fell in his heart was Concubine Jing.
After Pang's concubines entered the palace, they all regarded Concubine Jing as their enemy. They had many tricks, but they were often dealt with by the late emperor before Concubine Jing could fall for her tricks.
She was the only one who saw through Concubine Jing's innocence beneath her indifference and chose to do the opposite.
Day after day, year after year, she showed her kindness to Concubine Jing, always thinking about her, showing an innocent, lively and lovely character, which made both the emperor and Concubine Jing think that she was just an innocent and ignorant person. little girl.
Concubine Jing regarded her as a good sister. The late emperor loved her very much, so he loved her more than other concubines.
She used this bit of favor to always make the late emperor favor her within a few days of having sex with Concubine Jing.
God has favored Concubine Jing for decades, giving her a top-notch family background and beauty, and finally favored her a little, allowing her and Concubine Jing to become pregnant at the same time.
Concubine Jing's indifference is all pretended. In fact, she is the innocent and pure girl who is not familiar with the world. It was the late emperor who asked her to pretend to be noble and indifferent. In this palace, no one should pay attention to anyone except the late emperor. Don't give your sincerity.
But if you just wait for the late emperor to visit you, the long palace life will be too boring and lonely.
Therefore, Concubine Jing regarded Empress Dowager Wu as her best friend and allowed her to enter and exit her palace freely.
This also gave Queen Mother Wu the opportunity to bribe Mammy.
It has been too long, and Empress Dowager Wu can no longer remember what that nanny was called. Anyway, the grass on her grave must be very tall.
That nanny was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At that time, she wrote a letter to the Wu family, asking them to help investigate all the palace servants around Concubine Jing, find out their weaknesses, and then use this to intimidate and induce them.
As for that nanny, she had a son who was addicted to gambling. The Wu family set up a trap to make him more addicted, and then tricked him into borrowing loan sharks from a gambling house.
After the money and interest reached a point where they could no longer afford to pay it back, the Wu family came forward to repay the money, but did not let them know that the condition for repaying the money was to ask someone from the gambling house to write a letter threatening the grandma. He also chopped off one of Mammy's son's fingers and secretly brought them into the palace together.
Mammy has only one son, and she has not seen him in the palace for many years. She only remembers that there is a black mole on his index finger, and there is also a mole on the broken finger.
She had to follow Empress Dowager Wu's arrangements and notify Empress Dowager Wu when Concubine Jing showed signs of taking action.
At first, Empress Dowager Wu planned to transfer the two princes to her if they gave birth to sons, because the late emperor was waiting for Concubine Jing to give birth to a prince and then make her his queen.
After she transfers the two children, she can raise Concubine Jing's son "well" so that he will only be loyal and loyal and work hard for her son.
When her son reaches the age of six or seven, she will secretly go to see him in private and tell him his true life experience. Mother and son are connected. In the future, the world will still belong to their mother and son.
However, she actually gave birth to a princess!
Why can Concubine Jing give birth to a son, but she can only give birth to a useless girl?
In the end, God is still on Concubine Jing's side.
But she must not miss this opportunity, otherwise she will always be under Concubine Jing's eyes in this life.
Therefore, in order to make Concubine Jing extremely sad after giving birth, she not only had to change the child, but also gave her a dead baby.
Fortunately, my brother bothered the late emperor with urgent palace affairs that day, so that the nanny had time to steal and change things.
Concubine Jing's palace was not at all wary of her people. Several confidants she arranged were all helping in front of Concubine Jing's bed. They cooperated with several eunuchs in her palace and quickly replaced the emperor.
Concubine Jing saw that the little princess she had given birth to had died unexpectedly, and she collapsed on the spot.
By the time the late emperor arrived, Concubine Jing had already collapsed and died.
The late emperor cried with regret, how could he care about what happened to Empress Dowager Wu?
Before the big thing was accomplished, Empress Dowager Wu went dormant and became a transparent person in the harem.
It wasn't until all the princes of the late emperor were dead that she appeared in public again. The emperor was already three years old at that time.
She thought she would be able to do whatever she wanted for the rest of her life.
Ah!
After all, they were not her biological children. Shen Ye was just a white-eyed wolf who was not well-bred. He had a completely different temperament from Concubine Jing, but was exactly the same as the late emperor.
It’s Jiang Xinyue…it’s all Jiang Xinyue…
It was after she entered the palace that she disrupted all her plans...
Bitch...bitch...
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Wang Dequan had no choice but to disturb the world between the emperor and the imperial concubine, and trotted into the palace: "The one in the violent room... is gone."
He didn't even know how to address Empress Dowager Wu, fearing that the emperor would be unhappy.
There was a hint of sadness on the emperor's face: "The Queen Mother worked hard for Dayan, so she was posthumously named the Queen Mother of Shoukang and Fushun, and was buried in the imperial mausoleum... My father's concubine Jingtai... was also named the Queen Mother of Cining and Xiande. Buried with my father."
One was buried in the imperial mausoleum, and the other was buried with the late emperor.
One is longevity, health and prosperity, the other is kindness and virtue.
Can't you still see the difference?
