Chapter 211 Gloomy
Chapter 211 Gloomy
Yes, it’s Tang’er!
Queen Ji was very familiar with that woman's low laugh. Yes, it was Ji Tang!
She looked around in panic, feeling a wave of fear in her heart.
Tang'er has resentment towards herself!
She hated me for killing her, so she wanted to take revenge on me!
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Miao Yue asked hurriedly when she saw the Queen was so distracted.
Queen Ji's eyes didn't even glance at them.
The wind was like a vague hand that brushed across her spine, making her scalp numb and her whole body unable to move.
Concubine Yun looked at Empress Ji, whose face turned pale with fear, and even her soul breathed a hint of joy.
She knew that Queen Ji must have thought that it was Ji Tang who came to her, hahahaha.
In fact, after Ji Tang was stabbed to death by her, he almost lost his soul and finally had to choose reincarnation.
Although the restriction of Kunning Palace was lifted by the sect leader, the pure yang evil spirit was still too strong for a kid like Ji Tang.
Ji Tang wanted to seek revenge on Queen Ji, but before he could get close to her, he was burned so badly that he almost turned to ashes.
So in desperation, he had no choice but to choose reincarnation.
But this is a great thing for Concubine Yun.
She can avenge herself without worrying about being hated by others. If she treats her as Ji Tang, the queen will not think of finding that person to hurt her. What could be more appropriate than this?
Queen Ji's whole body was tense, and she felt as if the blood in her body had solidified.
She regretted it. She regretted it when she saw Tang'er's body. She also hated herself for killing Tang'er.
However, the big mistake has been made, and she doesn't know how to eliminate her sin.
Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at Miaoyun: "Go out secretly, ask someone to buy some incense, candles, and paper money, and then prepare a brazier for me!"
When they heard these sudden words, they were stunned for a moment.
However, when Miaoyun saw that she was finally willing to speak soberly and calmly, she immediately felt relieved and understood what Queen Ji meant.
"Slave, go now."
After saying that, he hurried out the door.
By the time Queen Ji finished changing her clothes and washing up, all the bloodstained items in the room had been cleaned up and replaced with new items.
But for some reason, she still felt that the room was very gloomy.
However, they couldn't leave Kunning Palace now, so she took Miaoyue and immediately headed for the inner courtyard.
"I feel very cold. Let's go to the inner courtyard to bask in the sun!" Queen Ji said as she walked away.
cold?
Miaoyue was very surprised.
It’s the hottest time of July, so it’s no exaggeration to say it’s extremely hot. How can it be cold?
But since her master had spoken, she had no choice but to respond, so she hurriedly followed.
When she arrived at the inner courtyard and was scorched by the scorching sun, Empress Ji finally felt at ease.
She looked back at the back hall where she slept, and couldn't tell whether guilt, fear, or dissatisfaction prevailed.
She really shouldn't have killed Ji Tang, but she had already realized her mistake in her heart, and it was an accident. How could she, a junior, blame herself like this?
He is still pestering me and scaring me like this. He is too vindictive.
Besides, it was not him who asked her to enter the palace to be a Zhaoyi, but the emperor.
Tang'er is the eldest brother's child, so she should have heard about the relationship between him and the emperor.
This time, the fault lies with the emperor because she, Ji Tang, seduced the emperor first, and she was the one who provoked herself first!
Zhou Lu, the eunuch in charge of Empress Ji, saw that such a big thing had happened today. The emperor was angry but not furious. He understood that the emperor was just giving a light punishment and a stern warning, and the matter would pass.
Therefore, he had already started to busy himself. First he ordered people to clean the inner bedroom, and now he arranged for people to deliver a letter to the Ji family.
"Zhou Lu!" the queen called him.
"Your Majesty." Zhou Lu stepped forward respectfully.
"Ji Tang's body...has it been sent back to the Ji family?" Queen Ji asked nervously.
Zhou Lu was stunned, not knowing what she meant, so he answered honestly: "According to the regulations, he cannot be sent back to the Ji family for burial."
"She is already the Emperor's Consort Wan Zhaoyi, so she must be buried according to the royal reputation and directly handled by the Ministry of Rites. She should be buried in Jinshan."
After hearing these words, the queen breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be better if he was not sent back to the Ji family.
The Ji family should be preparing for Qingyan's funeral, Tang'er died so soon.
The Ji family’s anger might even involve him.
But soon, she felt another layer of dissatisfaction in her heart.
She was the queen, and she dealt with a Zhaoyi. If she died, she died. What else did she want?
Whether the Ji family or the emperor wanted to deal with her or punish her, they couldn't let her, as the queen, be buried with Ji Tang, right?
Thinking about this, she glanced back at the inner hall.
The fear in his heart suddenly turned into cruelty.
I will burn some paper money for you later, hoping that you will leave and reincarnate. If you scare me like this again, I will not be merciful!
Not long after, Miaoyun, who had gone to prepare incense, candles, and paper money, came back.
She hurried into the inner courtyard, sweat dripping from her running. "Your Majesty, when I was leaving, I happened to run into someone from the Ministry of Rites, so I asked them for some. They said it was for warding off evil spirits."
In her hand, there was already a large bag of paper money.
Originally, these things were not allowed to be used in the harem. The Ministry of Rites must have thought that today's incident was special, and the person who asked for the things was the queen, so they gave some to Miaoyun.
Queen Ji took a look at those things, then stood up coldly and said, "Go in."
In the back hall, Miaoyue had already prepared the brazier.
Queen Ji ordered the two to close the door, leaving only Miaoyun and Miaoyue to guard inside, and drove out all the other palace servants.
In the room, Queen Ji's knees went weak and she suddenly knelt down.
She looked into the void and spoke with a sorrowful look: "Tang'er, I know you have resentment in your heart. I really didn't mean to hurt you. I hope you can believe me. If you die, I will be just as heartbroken..."
"These paper money are my aunt's apology to you, okay?"
Her tone was filled with pleading: "You were raised by your aunt. I loved you dearly... But at that time, I didn't know what happened. I was so impulsive and confused that I killed you..."
"It's my fault, please forgive me, okay? In the next life, I will definitely pay for this sin."
Her throat choked, the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily, and the tears in her eyes flowed down her cheeks like a flood that broke through the dam.
"Don't linger around your aunt anymore. Xu'er must be sad about your passing. You definitely don't want to see him heartbroken, right?"
"After I finish burning paper money for you, I will go to the emperor to apologize. It's my fault. Is that okay?"
Paper money burned and went out one after another in her hands. Her body trembled slightly and tears rolled down the corners of her eyes. The firelight reflected on her sad and gray face, which no longer had the vitality of the past.
"Don't worry, I will definitely visit you every year during festivals and on your death anniversary. Reincarnate and don't linger in this world and suffer..."
She looked into the void, her eyes red, and raised her head to plead earnestly.
Tears have already soaked my clothes.
She didn't know whether Tang'er could see or hear.
But at this moment, coming to the place where she killed Tang'er, her sadness was real, and her regret was also real.
Seeing that she was crying so sadly, Miaoyun and Miaoyue were a little confused. Besides sighing in their hearts, they felt a little bit reluctant.
It was as if the vicious murderer they had seen before was not her.
Miaoyun carefully handed her a handkerchief and wiped her tears, "My Lady, please don't cry anymore. Be careful not to hurt yourself."
Queen Ji wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at the flames dancing in the copper basin in front of her. She felt that the guilt in her heart was gradually dissipating.
Yes, just say it out loud. If you say it out loud, Tang'er will forgive her.
She just hoped that this moment would pass quickly so that she could finish praying in peace.
If there is no response, that would be the best, because it means Tang'er agrees.
Her heart was at peace.
Thinking of this, she seemed to see the dawn of victory.
Because ever since she came in again this time, the cold breeze that made her scalp tingle has never appeared again.
She even began to doubt whether she had been wrong before.
My heart calmed down.
However, the reality is always not as she expected.
Concubine Yun looked at Empress Ji, who was full of guilt and trembling with fear, and felt that this was the only way the Empress treated her niece.
Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief beside her again.
"call……"
Just now she was busy collecting the incense that Queen Ji burned for Ji Tang, and had no time to tease her.
This time, the aura was so strong that Miaoyun and Miaoyue couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Then there was a broken scream.
"what--"
