Chapter 175: Destiny
"How could the concubine become a vegetative state?" Chu Wanxiang asked anxiously, "Has she been poisoned? Who poisoned her? We need to find the murderer behind the scenes!"
Chu Mohan said: "My mother-in-law has been poisoned for a long time. As for whether she was murdered, we need to investigate in detail."
"I want to see my mother and concubine." Chu Wanxiang stood up, knelt down on the ground, and begged, "Please let me see my mother and concubine. I want to ask her what happened."
"I believe it, but I am not willing to accept it."
Chu Mohan pulled her up, picked up the clothes and put them on her shoulders: "Since you don't want to believe that the mother-in-law is dead, I will send you there."
"Thank you, uncle."
The two came to the door of Qiwu Palace. Chu Wanxiang pushed open the carved wooden door and stepped in slowly.
Qiwu Palace is relatively spacious and elegant, with gorgeous decorations and exquisite furnishings. However, it is empty and gives off a feeling of loneliness and desolation, which makes people feel pity.
Chu Wanqing was lying on the bed, covered with a thin quilt. Her face was pale and haggard, much thinner, her eyes were closed, as if she was asleep, and her eyelashes only occasionally trembled.
Chu Wanxiang walked to the edge of the bed, squatted down, and called softly: "Concubine..."
"Wanwan." Chu Wanqing shouted weakly, trying to open her eyes. After seeing Chu Wanxiang beside the bed, she twitched the corners of her mouth and showed a happy smile.
Chu Wanxiang's eyes were filled with soreness: "I'm here."
"Concubine, I'm glad you came to see me." Chu Wanqing said, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry." Chu Wanxiang held her hand and said guiltily. She knew that the reason why Chu Wanqing became so ill was all caused by herself. If she stayed at home obediently, her mother and concubine would not be affected, and she would not be affected.
It won't be poisoned.
"Silly girl." Chu Wanqing stroked her head gently, "This is fate, I can't blame you." She paused, coughed suddenly, and then spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"Mother concubine!"
Chu Wanqing gasped and said intermittently: "Wanwan, my concubine can't hold on much longer. There are some words that my concubine hopes you can agree to."
"Mother, please speak."
"I want to ask you something."
Chu Wanxiang nodded.
Chu Wanqing slowly raised her other finger to the side of the bed and said in a difficult tone: "There...there is the secret decree I hid under the pillow...you must...must give it to my father for me."
"Yes." Chu Mohan responded, clenching her dry fingers, his eyes slightly hot.
Chu Wanqing smiled and said: "My emperor, my mother and concubine are so happy." She paused and continued, "It's a pity that I can't stay with you forever. I have to leave, and you have to walk alone in the future.
If you go down, you must not be like your father..."
"I won't worry you anymore." Chu Mohan said sadly, "I promise."
"I...I believe...you are...a good emperor." After Chu Wanqing finished speaking, she closed her eyes and breathed her last breath.
"Mother concubine!" Chu Wanxiang was distraught and cried heartbreakingly.
"My condolences to my dear sister." Chu Molin patted her shoulder and handed her the handkerchief.
Chu Mohan turned around and hugged her.
Chu Mochen watched this scene in silence for a long time, and then he said: "My condolences, sister, I will choose a good husband for you and make you rich and glorious for the rest of your life. No matter how difficult the situation is, he will not dare to wrong you.
, I dare not neglect you, you will always be a princess."
"Brother Imperial..." Chu Mochuan looked at him in surprise, "You don't hate your father?"
Chu Mohan smiled faintly: "Don't you hate it too?"
Chu Mochuan was stunned, lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly. Yes, he didn't hate it, but it didn't mean that he had forgiven him. He resented, he hated, he was tired, and even hated Chu Tianyang for taking away everything that belonged to him. But back then, his father took him away
If he was taken back to the palace, he would have lost the right to retaliate against him.
Chu Molin said: "Brother and sister, my condolences."
The two of them wiped away their tears, and Chu Mochuan said: "You two should rest first. I will ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look later, and then I will pass on the imperial meal to calm the shock of you two."
"Thank you, fourth brother."
"Yeah." Chu Molin said, "I still have something to do.
If you deal with it, I won’t accompany you.”
Chu Mochuan and Chu Mohan watched him leave. When only the three of them were left in the palace, Chu Wanxiang choked and said, "Imperial sister is not sensible, please bother the fourth emperor brother."
"You and I are brothers and sisters, so why bother." Chu Molin shook his head and said melancholy, "I just hope that if I unfortunately leave in the future, my sister can take good care of myself and my sixth brother."
"No way." Chu Wanxiang shook his head and said, "Brother Huang has his own celestial phenomena, and he will definitely turn misfortune into good fortune."
"I hope so." Chu Molin smiled, turned around and walked out.
As soon as he took a step forward, a eunuch hurried over to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian, and Princess Jingning, Your Majesty invites you to go to the imperial study to discuss matters."
Chu Molin nodded: "I understand."
Chu Wanxiang frowned: "What time is it now? Why did you suddenly summon the ministers to discuss matters?"
"I'm afraid it has something to do with the fact that you and I broke into the imperial mausoleum tonight." Chu Mohan said with narrowed eyes.
Chu Wanxiang's expression changed and he stood up immediately: "Let's rush to the imperial study room."
"Yes." Chu Molin walked out hand in hand with her and ordered the maids and eunuchs to take good care of Chu Wanqing. After Chu Molin left, Chu Wanxiang left a personal maid behind to take care of his mother and concubine. Several other maids accompanied him.
Escort Chu Wanshuang out of the palace.
Although Chu Wanshuang is unruly and arrogant, she is a princess after all. Who dares to mess with her? Not to mention that the emperor is still waiting for her in the palace!
Chu Wanshuang rushed out in a hurry, but was stopped by the guard: "Princess, you may be in danger if you go out so recklessly."...
"How dare you! I am the future father-in-law's daughter. How dare you stand in the way of this princess?"
"I dare not." The guard lowered his head and said respectfully, "But the emperor said that you are not allowed to go out unless the consort or the concubine agrees."
"I'll go to my father and make it clear. Get out of my way!"
The guard refused to let me go.
"Chu Wanshuang, don't forget, my father has issued an edict to abolish the queen. You are just a commoner. Why are you walking around in the palace?"
Chu Wanshuang said angrily: "Let me go, otherwise, I will punish you as well."
"Princess, be careful, this is the emperor's decree."
"Bastard!" Chu Wanshuang cursed, "I want to see my father!"
"Princess, please be patient. Your Majesty is discussing state affairs in the royal study."
Chu Wanshuang gritted her teeth and stared at her: "Get out of your way!"
"I'm sorry to have to obey my orders."
When Chu Wanshuang saw that the guard refused to take any advice, she simply acted shamelessly and said, "My princess has a stomachache and needs to go to the toilet."
"Slave, please lead the princess in."
"Go away! This princess will go by herself!" Chu Wanshuang pushed the guard away, clutched her stomach and ran out.
The direction she went to was obviously where Chu Mohan and Chu Wanxiang lived.
Chu Mohan had just changed his clothes when he heard the noise outside. He walked to the door and opened the door to take a look. He saw Chu Wanshuang sitting on the threshold in a state of embarrassment. His cheeks were red, obviously because of drinking.
