Emperor Qing seemed to realize for the first time that he, his beloved concubine, was actually an infatuated woman.
Is this, is this a sincere confession, or is it an act?
Emperor Qing was shocked and confused.
Concubine Dong Gui was still furiously typing: "Even if you don't mention love, Your Majesty is very good to me!"
"If it weren't for Your Majesty, I would be just a female dependent of a fifth-grade imperial official."
"What about glory and wealth? I'm not even qualified to participate in the slightly better banquets in Beijing!"
"Although I have suffered some grievances in the palace, I am still a noble concubine!"
"Those women in the capital, when they see my concubines, no matter how much they curse or dislike them in their hearts, they must bow obediently!"
"Even the eldest princess Ruyang, haha, she hates me so much, isn't it because I changed from my companion to a noble concubine who she has to be polite to?
"Also, my natal family was originally an ordinary farmer. After my father studied and gained fame, he was just a lowly official."
"But now—"
When Concubine Dong Guifei said this, her expression was in high spirits, and her eyebrows were full of pride and pride.
"Your Majesty named my father Uncle Jingning, and my nephews also have a bright future."
Concubine Dong Guifei grabbed Emperor Qing's hand and said with great sincerity, "These are all given to me by your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is very kind to me, how can I not be grateful!"
"By the way, His Majesty mentioned Donglang just now! Without Your Majesty, how could I have given birth to such a good son as Donglang!"
Concubine Dong smiled softly, her smile stretched and satisfied, "Your Majesty, I am really lucky to meet you."
"I know that based on my status, I am not qualified to "die in the same hole" with you. "
"However, I still want to live and die with you!"
She gently stroked Emperor Qing's cheek that was sunken due to illness, and said with great emotion, "Your Majesty, please take good care of yourself and never say those unlucky words."
Emperor Qing:......
Rather than being moved by Concubine Dong's confession, it would be better to say that he felt that Concubine Dong's words were very reasonable.
Yes, I did use Concubine Dong Gui as a target against Yuan's daughter.
However, I also gave Concubine Dong Gui the supreme honor.
Her family jumped from the bottom to the powerful class because of me.
Emperor Qing felt that besides not being as "deeply in love" as he advertised, he also did not treat Concubine Dong badly.
Concubine Dong Guifei is willing to live and die with her out of gratitude and love, which is reasonable and reasonable!
Emperor Qing thought about it and couldn't help but lower his guard against Concubine Dong Gui.
Later, Emperor Qing ordered people to investigate again——
First, Concubine Dong Gui did ask the imperial doctor for poisonous wine in advance, which was highly poisonous and could kill her instantly if she drank it in one gulp;
Second, Concubine Dong did not send anyone to deliver a message to the Ninth Prince in private, nor did she take the opportunity to hook up with the accompanying generals.
She just stayed in the tent peacefully, either taking care of herself or coming to serve the emperor.
Alas, Jiaojiao, she is just a silly woman who only cares about herself!
Emperor Qing's condition worsened and he vomited blood and fell into coma.
In the chaos, Concubine Dong Guifei saw that Emperor Qing was not doing well and actually wanted to take poison.
Fortunately, Emperor Qing had already made arrangements for his confidant eunuch to seize it in time.
However, after this incident, Emperor Qing completely believed that Concubine Dong Guifei was willing to die with him.
"...Jiaojiao, you can't die! My country and my career still need someone to inherit it!"
"Donglang is very good. He has soldiers and the support of the Huo family. Even if he ascends the throne at a young age, he can stabilize the court as quickly as possible!"
"You have to live well and help me look after Donglang!"
Emperor Qing's words conveyed the meaning of trusting the country.
He also drew a pie for Concubine Dong Gui that was about to be touched——
Queen Mother!
She is still a queen mother who can serve as regent!
This is definitely the most desired position for women in the harem.
"Okay! I'll look after Toshiro! I'll be the Queen Mother!"
Concubine Dong Guifei did not refuse this time, but followed Emperor Qing's words.
However, her tone was very casual, as if she was coaxing a child.
"Your Majesty, please take your medicine! As long as you take good care of yourself, I will agree to anything!"
Emperor Qing:......
Does this woman still want to be buried?
The emperor is such a strange creature.
If Concubine Dong sternly refused and repeatedly emphasized that she wanted to die with him, Emperor Qing would be suspicious.
When it comes to acting, it's very taboo to use too much force.
When it comes to setting up a character, one is most afraid of going too far and not falling short.
However, Concubine Dong did not refuse, but agreed smoothly.
She also took the initiative to say "be the queen mother".
The last trace of doubt in Emperor Qing's heart completely disappeared: Mrs. Dong is indeed a good woman with a true temperament!
Even so, it is appropriate to entrust the country to her.
Because she loves him, she only has him in her heart.
She can execute his orders 100%.
Unlike the Empress Dowager Yuan and Empress Yuan.
Yes, the Empress Dowager Yuan did prefer Emperor Qing's son.
But this was when Emperor Qing was alive. If Emperor Qing died, the Empress Dowager Yuan would still waver between the Yu Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.
Emperor Qing's ambition is to unify the world!
So what if Yu Chao is his maternal family?
As long as it hinders his great cause, he will kill him!
However, if Emperor Qing dies and the Empress Dowager Yuan and Empress Yuan take the opportunity to take the throne, it is possible that the confrontation between the Yu Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty will continue!
Absolutely not!
Emperor Qing took advantage of the fact that he could still speak, so he called several important officials from the accompanying court.
The crown prince was appointed, and the edict was left to restrain the Yuan family's daughter...
With his last breath, Emperor Qing arranged everything he could think of.
Then, he took Concubine Dong's hand and forced her to swear: not to commit suicide! She wants to live as the Queen Mother and suppress the Yuan's daughter in the palace!
Concubine Dong: ...Hey! Done!
Originally, she thought she was going to have to take poison again.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Qing believed in him so quickly.
That’s fine, if you can avoid drinking poisonous wine, just try not to drink it.
Although since her son gave her a magical elixir, she has a body that is "invulnerable to all poisons".
However, poisonous wine is different from the decoctions we drink every day.
Concubine Dong would rather live to see her son rule the world.
"...Your Majesty! I, I, I—"
Kneeling in front of the bed, Concubine Dong Guifei firmly grasped the small medicine bottle.
She was in a dilemma, she simply had no will to live.
"Ahem! Ahem~~"
Emperor Qing vomited out another mouthful of blood, and his pupils began to dilate.
He used his last strength and shouted: "Stay alive! Unify the world!"
"...Wuwu, I listen to you! Donglang will also remember your last wish!"
Emperor Qing then let go of his hand and passed away.
The courtiers kneeling behind Concubine Dong all fell to the ground and cried.
Concubine Dong Guifei passed out immediately.
After waking up, she also acted like a bitter woman, "I don't believe that Your Majesty will never leave me."
When the courtiers saw such a love-minded person, they all secretly let out a sigh of relief.
There will be no Lu family troubles in the Qing Dynasty!
The courtiers began to suggest retreating and escorted Emperor Qing's coffin back to the capital.
Concubine Dong Guifei supported her sick body and cried, "No! Your Majesty is determined to unify the world!"
"Now that the Southern Expedition is going smoothly and the Feng Dynasty is within easy reach, how can we give up so easily?"
The courtiers tried to reason with Concubine Dong.
However, they later discovered that Concubine Dong Guifei, who only had her husband in mind, could not make sense at all.
Love brain! All deserve to die!
However, the courtiers had nothing to do with a king-level love-minded person like Concubine Dong Guifei.
She is the queen mother appointed by Emperor Daxing, and her son is about to become the new king.
In her hand is the imperial seal and the imperial edict!
The key is that she can cry very well.
Not the arrogant and domineering kind, but the one who would cry until he fainted at every turn.
Encountering such a magical woman for the first time, the courtiers were all confused——
We seem to be the kind of villains who persecute orphans and widowed mothers.
Obviously they are doing it for the sake of celebrating the dynasty and for the stability of the world.
How, how did he become such a heinous villain?
Of course, not all courtiers supported the retreat.
The news of Emperor Qing's death did not spread, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the middle and high-ranking generals charging along the river did not know about it.
They were fighting desperately, and they were about to cross the river successfully.
If such a ferocious attack is interrupted suddenly, it will not only affect itself, but also allow Feng Chao to take the opportunity to counterattack.
When fighting, you fight with momentum.
Once the momentum weakens and the morale of the army is chaotic, it will be difficult for the Qing Dynasty's army to leave smoothly.
If something goes wrong, the previously annexed Fengchao city will be taken back by Fengchao.
The great situation was ruined in one fell swoop!
The generals tried their best to express that the army would be able to cross the river in three to five days.
In another half month, they will be able to break through the capital of Feng Dynasty.
Courtiers: ...There is nothing we can do, just wait! ap.
Half a month later, before the capital city could be breached, Gu Qingcheng led 30,000 cavalry and rushed thousands of miles to the riverside.
