Luoyang Brocade Chapter 301: Couples
()
Like a frightened bird, Queen Xu sat upright from the bed and looked over in horror.
A familiar face comes into view!
It’s the emperor!
However, his expression was no longer the familiar gentle and affectionate one, nor the usual solemn and majestic one, but instead ferocious and twisted. Under the candlelight, it looked eerie.
"Your Majesty!" Empress Xu didn't need to pretend, tears had blurred her cheeks. She climbed down from the bed in embarrassment, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly: "I was confused for a moment and made a big mistake! Please keep me in mind, Your Majesty. For the sake of my careful service over the years, please spare me this miserable life! Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed vigorously.
Soon, there was redness and swelling on my forehead.
The emperor watched coldly and did not move.
Empress Xu seemed unaware of the pain, her forehead fell heavily to the ground, blood oozed from the red and swollen areas, and her long hair became more and more messy. Like a bereaved dog, looking extremely miserable.
"Your Majesty, have mercy! Your Majesty, spare my life!"
Queen Xu kept repeating these two sentences.
She is finished! But she also has a pair of children! This matter must not be spread! Otherwise, Princess Changping and King Yan will never be able to hold their heads high again.
The emperor finally opened his mouth: "Now you know how to ask for my mercy and my life. When you were having fun with those despicable slaves, did you ever think about me as your husband? Did you ever think about your status as a majestic queen? ?Have you ever thought of King Yan and Changping?"
Every line of questioning was like a sharp arrow piercing Queen Xu's fragile chest.
Queen Xu stopped kowtowing, and the blood on her forehead flowed to her cheeks, mixed with tears, and she was in a miserable state. She cried and said: "Every mistake is my fault. It is not a pity for me to die. But I can't die like this. I beg the emperor to spare my life for the sake of my two children."
The emperor's suppressed anger emerged again, and he laughed angrily: "You keep saying it is for King Yan and Changping. It will be difficult for them, the two siblings, to have a biological mother like you. Cleanse the shame."
After hearing these words, Queen Xu felt lucky to have escaped with her life.
If the emperor really had the intention of killing her, he would not have to talk nonsense, just let someone kill her, and just say that she died of a sudden illness. The angry scolding now shows that the emperor is soft-hearted and misses the past, and cannot bear to take action.
Empress Xu felt confident, and her original panic and panic mood calmed down a lot.
She has been in the palace as a concubine for many years, and step by step she has become the master of the harem. Her familiarity and understanding of the emperor's temperament is unparalleled.
When the emperor was young, he was violent and ruthless, but he was also romantic and lustful. He was particularly gentle and affectionate towards the woman he liked. Now that the emperor is old, he has long lost the vigor and determination of his youth, but his nostalgic and soft-hearted temper has not changed.
Queen Xu crawled up to the emperor on her knees, knelt at the emperor's feet and cried bitterly: "I entered the palace at the age of sixteen and stayed with the emperor for so many years, raising children for the emperor and managing palace affairs. Even if there is no credit, there is still a hard work. The emperor is busy with state affairs and has alienated the harem. The emperor has almost never stayed in the concubine's Jiaofang Palace in the past few years. Concubine, I am not ashamed to say that I am also a woman, and it is inevitable that there will be When I was lonely, I made a big mistake under the instigation of the slaves around me."
"I don't dare to ask for forgiveness from the emperor. I only ask for mercy from the emperor and let me live a few more years. I eat fast and chant Buddha every day, pray for the emperor, and wash away my sins!"
……
Queen Xu didn’t know how long she had been kneeling or crying. reads(); The heroine’s path to immortality is vast.
My knees have long been painful and numb, my eyes have been red and swollen from crying, and my voice has become increasingly hoarse and unpleasant.
But she didn't dare to stop.
The emperor looked livid and angry at the beginning, then became complicated and unspeakable, until he quietly softened his heart.
Over the years, he has always been very satisfied with Queen Xu.
She is gentle and virtuous, and manages the affairs of the palace in an orderly manner, so that he, the emperor, does not need to worry. She was virtuous and generous, never jealous, and sent the beauties around her to his bedside without any complaints.
Princess Changping is the eldest daughter and he likes her the most. King Yan was the youngest son, and he doted on him even more.
Whether it was for the past love between husband and wife, or for the sake of the love between his two children, he could not be cruel enough to kill her!
However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided!
As a dignified emperor, he must not be disgraced because of this matter.
The emperor took a deep breath and said coldly: "Okay, stop crying and begging. I will leave you with your life for now."
Queen Xu trembled all over and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"You have been sitting on this position of queen for many years, and it is time for you to give it up." The emperor said expressionlessly: "As for the abolition of the queen, I will make arrangements for myself. From today on, you will honestly Stay in this dormitory without leaving the dormitory. Wait for my will."
We are lucky to have saved our lives!
How dare Empress Xu ask for anything else? After hearing this, she immediately accepted the order and thanked her.
The emperor took a deep breath and said slowly: "I have no intention of investigating what happened last night. That's it. Half of the people in Jiaofang Palace have been killed by me, and the rest can't If you stay any longer, you can work in the laundry room."
Empress Xu was too busy to take care of herself, so she naturally didn’t have the courage to plead for anyone, so she only agreed.
The emperor's eyes flashed, and he suddenly raised his voice and called Eunuch Ding to come in.
Eunuch Ding had been waiting outside for a long time. When he heard the emperor's voice, he walked in quickly.
There was also a bowl of dark soup in his hand.
The emperor said solemnly: "Serve the queen and drink this bowl of medicine."
Eunuch Ding responded, stepped forward, and brought the medicine bowl to Queen Xu: "Queen, my servant is waiting for you to drink the medicine. ~IndoMTL.com~ What medicine is this?
What will happen to her after drinking this bowl of medicine?
Queen Xu felt cold and stared at the bowl of medicine.
Seeing that she did not move, the emperor raised the corners of his lips sarcastically: "What? Do you think this bowl is arsenic? If I want to give you the death penalty, do I need to go to such trouble?"
Queen Xu's whole body trembled, and she didn't dare to hesitate for a moment. She quickly took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
The concoction was bitter and cold. It quickly slid down the throat and into the stomach, and soon there was a strange burning sensation.
Empress Xu had not eaten for a whole day, and she stayed up all day and night in panic. She was extremely tired both mentally and physically. After drinking this bowl of unknown medicine, I felt dizzy, my vision went dark, and I fainted.
The emperor glanced at Queen Xu who was lying limply on the ground with disgust, and then ordered: "Eunuch Ding, please pass on my oral instructions. Queen Xu is suffering from an emergency and is unconscious. She needs to stay in the palace for rest. No one is allowed to visit and disturb her! "(To be continued.)
