063 poisoned
Murong Qingluo thought for a moment and said to Eunuch Wei, "Okay, then go and tell the eldest brother, and say that he is afraid that he will not be able to see this palace in the future, because now the courtiers are forcing the emperor to kill this palace. The courtiers only gave Huangfu Shangyin three days. If they don't make a decision in these three days, the princess of the Mingjing Kingdom will definitely die. You have to tell the eldest brother what I said, otherwise one day the eldest brother will not let you go, do you understand?
After hearing this, Eunuch Wei said with a smile, "Princess, don't worry, how can the old slave have the heart to watch the princess die like this? The old slave must tell the eldest prince the princess's words intact. If the princess has nothing else to do, the old slave will leave first.
With that, he said goodbye and left.
When he left, Murong Qinglu had an indescribable sadness in his heart.
She didn't know how Murong Mengze should choose next. She knew that this was indeed an opportunity to test Murong Mengze.
In fact, she is not greedy and afraid of death. Even if she kills her beloved, it's nothing.
But where will the beloved put her?
After thinking about it, she decided to test Murong Mengze to see if Murong Mengze was willing to give something for her.
She waited for the news of Murong Mengze all the time in the palace.
And Huangfu Shangyin was forced by the ministers and was trapped in the palace every day.
It was not until the third night, and things didn't turn around at all.
On the third night, Murong Qinglu finally couldn't calm down, so he sent Hongqi to invite Duke Wei over.
When Eunuch Wei saw her, he quickly said, "The Empress didn't come to find the old slave. The old slave also came to the Empress tonight."
"Are you looking for me? Is there any news that the eldest brother wants you to tell me?
"Yes, the eldest prince did have news for the old slave to tell the princess. The eldest prince said that the princess is very important to him. He can withdraw immediately for the princess, but... but I'm afraid it's impossible to unify the Yunhuang Kingdom in the future. He didn't allow the old slave to say these words to the princess, but the old slave still couldn't help spitting these words out quickly. The eldest prince was ambitious and waited for many years for such an opportunity. He thought he could annihilate the Yunhuang Kingdom in one fell swoop, but he didn't think of it. Princess, if you really have affection for the eldest prince, you should not put the eldest prince's heroism for the sake of his personal life.
"Are these words what the big brother asked you to say to me?"
"Of course not." Then Duke Wei shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the eldest prince will withdraw tomorrow morning. I believe you will be safe and sound at that time."
After listening to his words, Murong Qinglu had mixed feelings for a moment.
She knows that unifying the world has always been Murong Mengze's dream, but now Murong Mengze doesn't even want the world for her. It can be seen that she is indeed very important in Murong Mengze's mind.
She lowered her head and meditated for a moment before slowly said to Euke Wei, "Go back. Tell the eldest brother that he doesn't have to retreat. I have helped him think of a way. As for my palace, he doesn't have to worry. Can this palace still be trapped? You go back and tell him my words word for word, okay?
Eunuch Wei brought a cunning smile on the corners of his mouth. He lowered his head very low and went out.
At this moment, Murong Qinglu is just thinking about Murong Mengze, and there is no time to go to see this Duke of Wei.
It was not until Grandpa Wei went out that she called the red silk.
When Hongyan saw her calling herself, she said with a smile, "Mother, what's the matter with you looking for me? I don't know what can help you?"
Murong Qinglu looked at Hongqi and said to Hongqi, "Hongqi, there is some money here in my palace. You can take the money."
Hongqi felt very strange when she suddenly took the money to herself, but she still accepted the money.
After receiving it, he asked, "You inexplicably gave me money. What is this for? It makes the maidservant feel puzzled.
"Red silk, if there is a Japanese palace that can't accompany you to take care of you, you must take good care of yourself, understand?"
When Hongyu heard what she said, she vaguely had the intention to say goodbye.
She couldn't help saying, "Your Majesty, don't worry. It's not the last day yet. The emperor hasn't made a final decision yet. I believe that the emperor will not hand you over to the courtiers outside. Why are you so pessimistic?"
"You don't have to worry about anything. You go."
With that, Murong Qingqi waved his hand and said to Hongyan, "I don't want to see anyone in this palace. I just want to be quiet."
Seeing that she was a little unhappy, Hongqi knew that she was obviously sad for what the emperor could not decide these days, but she didn't know that she was sad for Murong Mengze.
The red silk went out.
After the red silk went out, Murong Qingluo took a rope and hung it on the beam.
Her eyes became very calm and she said with a smile, "Big brother, big brother, when we were young, we had been thinking about when we would die and who we would be with when we died, but I never dreamed that today was my death. I know you are very kind to me and will never allow me to suffer anything. If you hurt me, you will also retreat for me. I feel very gratified when I know it, but if you are willing to do so much for me, how can I watch you take care of your great cause for me? Don't worry, I will die by myself tonight. Tomorrow, you can successfully take the Yunhuang Kingdom.
After saying that, she took out the He Tianyu given to her by the eldest prince and looked at it a few times, and gently stroked it. She only felt very sad in her heart.
At this time, the shadow of Huangfu Shangyin inexplicably appeared in her mind, and she was also very surprised.
But after thinking about it carefully, Huangfu Shangyin has always been very kind to himself.
She sighed again and said, "Your Majesty, you are really good to me, but do you know? The kind of kindness you treat me is not what I want. I just want someone to be good to me, but that person is not you. If I die, you don't have to have any scruples tomorrow. This is not a good thing for you. You must also want to see me die.
With that, she tied the rope, then stepped on the high stool and poked her head in.
At this time, someone came in.
After the man came in, he couldn't help but be shocked by the situation in front of him and quickly shouted, "Why are you so stupid, Qinglu."
With that, he rushed forward and suddenly hugged Murong Qinglu.
But the more he hugged Murong Qingruo and fell down her body, the deeper the rope fell.
He picked up the high stool and stepped on it. Then he went up and hugged Murong Qinglu.
After Murong Qinglu was taken down, he was not so flustered.
He held her in ** anxiously and called her repeatedly: "Qinglu, are you all right, Qinglu, are you all right..."
After several calls in a row, Murong Qingqi opened his eyes.
She looked up and found that it was Huangfu Shang who was hiding in front of her. She couldn't help but be very surprised and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
"Yes, I came here originally. I heard from Hongqi that you were in a bad mood, so I deliberately didn't let people pass it on. I really didn't expect that you were looking for a dead end. After practicing such good martial arts, you finally chose such a way.
He said to Murong Qinglu with great pain.
Murong Qingqi's voice sounded very weak. She said slowly, "I know that the courtiers will force the emperor to make a choice tomorrow. In this case, it's better to let the minister die. As long as the courtiers die, I believe that the courtiers will not force you."
In fact, there is something more important in her heart, that is, because she can help Murong Mengze.
Huangfu Shangyin didn't know it. Huangfu Shangyin only thought that she died for herself, and her heart was moved.
He quickly held her in his arms and warmed her with his body.
He stretched out his hand and gently stroked her face, and said to her with tenderness, "You are so stupid. How can I sacrifice you in exchange for my country? That's it. What's the point of the country I got like this? Besides, I know that the whole thing is Du Guolao's conspiracy from beginning to end. The reason why he did this is nothing more than to hope that my country can always be controlled by him. How can I be so stupid? The stupidest thing is actually you.
With that, he held Murong Qingluo tightly in his arms and said to her, "You can't die anyway, do you understand? If you die, then I will die with you."
After listening to his words, Murong Qinglu didn't pay attention to it, but just said it casually.
She said to Huangfu Shangyin, "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country. How can you die so easily? Long live long live. Qingluo sometimes thinks that it's better to die than to live in this world. There are many sad things to live in this world, and there are many things that are not up to you. . "
Speaking of this, there was a trace of sadness in her eyes, which made people feel sad.
"Although I don't know why you are sad, you are my wife, and I will protect you no matter what. You believe me. If you die, I will be sad for the rest of my life."
With that, he held Murong Qinglu tightly in his arms, like a pearl.
At that moment, Murong Qingluo had an indescribable feeling in his heart, which was like tearing his heart and lungs.
Huangfu Shangyin was there with her all night that night.
That night, Huangfu Shangyin did nothing to her, but hugged her tightly, as if he were hugging a lost treasure.
I don't know why, at that moment, she felt the emperor's tenderness and secret, and also felt the emperor's kindness to her, which also made her feel very warm.
Her desire for death actually went halfway at that moment.
She knew that if she really died, the emperor would be very sad.
Early the next morning, the emperor ordered Hongqi to come over and look at her all the time, and he couldn't leave for a moment.
If she has any shortcomings, let the red silk be buried with her.
After listening to it, Hongyan quickly agreed.
After Huangfu Shangyin left, Hongyan knelt down for Murong Qingqi and quickly said to her, "Mother, you can't die anyway. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about Hongqi, and for the people in the palace. The emperor said, if you really don't take good care of you and you really die, then he will let the people from the top and bottom of the palace to bury you. Madam, you don't want the people in the palace to die because of you, do you?
After listening to her words, Murong Qinglu only felt very uncomfortable.
She knew that at this moment, Huangfu Shangyin had gone out to face the courtiers, and she didn't know how those courtiers would force him.
However, she can see clearly how cruel Du Guolao is.
She believes that Du Guolao will never be so easy.
She said to Hongqi, "I'm not looking for death. Go out and find out the news quickly. Let's see if the Mingjing Kingdom has retreated. Let's see what the emperor will do."
After thinking about it, Hongyu called a eunuch and ordered the eunuch to go out to inquire about the news, while she herself stayed with Murong Qinglu.
Seeing this, Murong Qingluo had to let her go.
At this moment, after Huangfu Shangyin went out, he knew what he was going to face next.
But even if there are difficulties and obstacles ahead, he must face it bravely.
As soon as he arrived at the court, he saw that the ministers had been waiting there for a long time, so he began to early morning.
Those ministers knelt down one after another and asked repeatedly, "Your Majesty, it has been three days now. Murong Mengze has gathered at the border, and they have begun to send troops to attack our remote areas. If the emperor does not kill Murong Qinglu, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."
Huangfu Shangyin said coldly after listening to this, "Even if Murong Qingluo is their princess, as the saying goes, she is my wife. Now she is my wife. Aren't you forcing me to kill my wife?"
"Your Majesty, I don't mean it. I'm also thinking about the emperor. Does the emperor want to leave a curse for a woman?"
The ministers said to Huangfu Shangyin in unison.
Huangfu Shangyin also had some anxiety for a while.
He said coldly, "Well, if you want to watch the world die, then watch the world die. In any case, I will not agree to kill Murong Qinglu. No one needs to mention this matter again. If anyone mentions it to me again, then pull it out and kill it. It's done."
As soon as those people saw that the emperor was so strong, they suddenly did not say anything, but everyone knelt there.
Just like this, someone walked to Huangfu Shangyin and whispered something in his ear.
Huangfu Shangyin was very nervous after hearing this. He said to the ministers hatefully, "Huh, you have gone too much!"
With that, he turned around and left the court.
It turned out that the news that he refused to kill Murong Qinglu soon reached the ears of the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager knows that this matter can never be so easy. If he doesn't kill Murong Qinglu, those ministers will never let them go.
Those ministers will never send troops to help them attack the State of Mirror.
In any case, it is impossible for the empress dowager to watch the family business of the whole country be ruined in her own hands, so she thought of an idea.
When the emperor went to court, she immediately sent someone to take the wine and went straight to the palace where Murong Qinglu lived.
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the eunuchs and maids all knelt down one after another, and the empress dowager ignored them and went straight inside.
After getting inside, I saw Murong Qinglu insinuating the little eunuch about the situation outside.
When Murong Qinglu and Murong Mengze did not retreat, she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.
Although she asked Murong Mengze not to retreat, didn't Murong Mengze really think about himself?
But the empress dowager arrived. She quickly got off the Hibiscus incense tent and said hi to the empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager took a look at Murong Qinglu and said to her, "You drink this glass of wine."
With that, she ordered Lianxiang to bring the wine.Murong Qinglu's face suddenly changed after looking at the wine, and she understood what was going on.
It must have been too late to force himself to commit suicide, so that he could save the country.
She nodded, took the wine over and said to the empress dowager, "Since it was the wine given by the empress dowager, my concubine naturally only had something to drink."
With that, she took the wine and was ready to drink.After seeing the Empress Dowager, she felt a little sad inexplicably.
After all, it was she who helped her son ascend the throne. If it hadn't been for her, she and her children might have been prisoners by now.
She was inexplicably sad, so she said to Murong Qinglu, "Don't blame the mourning family. The reason why the mourning family does this is also helpless. So far, I really can't think of any other way.
"Why does the Empress Dowager say that? I know all of them." With that, she took the wine and was ready to drink.
Seeing her haggard and clear appearance, and seeing that she was going to do this, the Empress Dowager only felt more pain in her heart.
Just as she was about to drink the glass of wine, the Empress Dowager suddenly stretched out her hand and knocked the glass of wine in her hand to the ground.
Murong Qingqi was stunned for a moment, looked up at the empress dowager, and said to the empress dowager, "What does the empress do empress dowager mean?"
"That's all, the mourning family can never kill you, so as not to let the emperor resent the mourning family for a lifetime."
As she spoke, she turned around and walked away angrily.
After she went far away, Murong Qinglu couldn't help sighing and said, "Empress Dowager, you are still too compassionate after all."
Red silk quickly hugged her and her face turned pale.
She looked extremely scared and said repeatedly, "Mother, I was really scared to death. I thought that the Empress Dowager was really determined to kill you. It turned out that she was just to scare you."
"The Empress Dowager didn't just scare me. The empress dowager really wanted to kill me, but in the end, she didn't kill me."
