Chapter 253 The Death of the Retired Emperor
Shang Yan knew very well that the retired emperor was extremely suspicious and had a natural hostility towards him.
"It's only been a few years. Master Liangran handed a child to me one day and said that the child was the son of his old friend." Shang Yan said casually.
"I am a person who always shouts for war and killing, so naturally I am unwilling to raise that child."
Does the Emperor know who Shang Yan is talking about?
"If you don't want to, why do you raise the child?"
"The conditions offered by Master Liaoran are so tempting that I can't refuse them." Shang Yan's icy face softened a little. "It's strange to say, ever since that child came to my side, my luck has been getting better and better."
"Is there still such a thing?"
"Master Liaoran said that he had told this to others before, but they thought they were just lucky. They didn't believe what Master Liaoran said and said it was just nonsense from a sorcerer."
The Queen Mother touched Yaoyao's hand and said with a smile:
"That person doesn't understand. Everything in the world has a destiny. Once the destiny is broken, there will inevitably be backlash."
"The Empress Dowager also believes it?" Su Rutang pretended not to understand, "I don't understand what Master Ran said. I always think it's weird that he's talking so weirdly."
The Queen Mother glanced at the gloomy face of the Emperor.
"Of course I believe it."
"I don't believe it." Su Rutang disagreed, "If it is true, why do evil people run rampant and good people suffer injustice?"
"It is said that good and evil will be rewarded in the end. The greatest irony is that bad people are still alive."
When Su Rutang said this.
He kept his brows lowered. "If the bad guys are alive and well, how can there be retribution?"
"After death..."
"Empress Dowager, if you can't be avenged when you are alive, what about after you die? Who can see?" Su Rutang's voice also became louder, "I believe in revenge when there is a grudge, and grievance when there is a grudge."
The emperor said nothing.
What Shang Yan said today was enough to make him feel that something was wrong.
The four of them talked for a while.
The Queen Mother gave away a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.
He also asked the emperor to reward some things, saying that it was compensation to the Su family.
The emperor emeritus could not persuade the empress dowager.
Gave a reward.
Su Rutang, who was called Shangyan, took Yaoyao away.
Wait until they leave.
The Emperor raised his hand and slapped the Queen Mother. "Who will treat you? Shouldn't you always be a lunatic?"
The Queen Mother wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"Why should I be a madman? You teamed up with that bitch Queen to poison me, just because you were afraid that I would tell all the officials about the evil things you and your son had done?"
"You have done nothing yourself, and you are jealous that the Crown Prince is more popular than you are."
Another slap.
Slap the Queen Mother to the ground.
The Queen Mother did not get up, but just lay on the ground.
"You will be punished."
"The emperor today is your son."
"So what? He has been poisoning me, spying on me and abusing me. Just because I don't want him to follow your path." The Queen Mother stood up with force and glared at the Emperor for the first time.
"Isn't it retribution that your children and grandchildren are in the current situation?"
"The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty suffered greatly from the war. The Su family and the veteran generals defended the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As a royal family, they were not only ungrateful, but also made all kinds of outrageous moves.
Foreign enemies cannot kill our generals. Only our own people can kill our own people.
Without the military guards, the surrounding countries are like a knife. Sooner or later, they will fall, and either we will suffer the loss of our country or our descendants will suffer the loss. "
The emperor was furious.
Stepping closer to the Queen Mother, he asked, "Do you think no one in the royal family can take on this responsibility?"
The Queen Mother did not flinch at all.
"Really? The son I gave birth to is a hedonistic softie. You gave birth to a son who had a promising future, but you, as a father, killed him out of jealousy."
Speaking of it.
The Queen Mother was silent for a moment.
"My grandchildren are killing each other. In the end, their bloodline will surely be wiped out."
Speaking of it.
The Queen Mother smiled.
"Hahaha... do you still remember what you said to the late emperor for the throne?" The empress dowager laughed happily, then her expression changed and she slapped the retired emperor hard in the face.
"The traitor."
The Emperor: “…”
"Are you crazy?"
"I'm crazy. Hahaha..." The Queen Mother swept the candlesticks in the palace to the ground.
She held on to the emperor tightly.
"I can't let you live, and I can't let you destroy Shang Yan." The Queen Mother's smile was ferocious, but also filled with an inexplicable sense of joy. "You have always been full of hostility towards Shang Yan, and you will definitely kill him."
The emperor dumped the empress dowager.
He kicked her hard in the face, "Do you know who his child is? Is it that the bastard from back then is still alive?"
The emperor was very heavy-handed.
The Queen Mother spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "I'm not dead. It's God's will. Hahahaha..."
The emperor was only concerned with dealing with the empress dowager.
Without noticing that the palace door was closed, the nanny beside the queen mother brought a jade ruyi and smashed it hard on the emperor's head.
"what……"
The emperor looked back and pointed at the nanny beside the empress dowager.
He fell beside the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother struggled to move to the side of the Emperor, "We were once husband and wife, I will die with you. In hell, I will hold you by my side to make amends for the dead children."
The nanny knelt beside the Queen Mother and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to accompany you."
The fire in the Cining Palace alarmed the emperor.
The imperial guards rushed over to put out the fire but were stopped by the old eunuch who served the retired emperor.
He took out the will from his arms, "The emperor has issued a will, there is no need to put out the fire."
The leader of the Imperial Guards hurried to find the emperor.
The emperor is coming.
The old eunuch still said the same thing.
He handed the will to the emperor, "The Emperor said that this was his fate, and he chose to leave with the Empress Dowager. This old servant will also serve the Emperor."
The old eunuch rushed into the Cining Palace.
He was loyal to the emperor all his life, but betrayed him at the last moment.
You should apologize.
The emperor held the edict, which was indeed written by the retired emperor.
"Impossible. How could the Emperor...?"
Shang Yan and Su Rutang had already left the palace, and when they looked back they saw flames rising from the palace. Shang Yan turned around and kowtowed three times, then stood up and returned to Tang Mansion with Su Rutang.
home.
Su Rutang went to the abandoned yard.
Master Liangran had already applied ointment to Shangqi, and Doctor Ke asked a few questions on the side.
He waved his sleeves impatiently.
"Long-winded."
"I……"
"Master." Su Rutang entered the room, "Something happened in the palace."
Master Liangran counted with his fingers.
"Those who deserved to die died, and three who didn't deserve to die were also dragged away." Liaoran looked at Shangyan, "Do whatever you want to do. Don't kill too many people."
Dr. Ke disagrees.
"There is no way to do things without risking one's life. Now I am losing my life, but if I really lose my country, huh... the people will suffer, that would be a real sin."
Stand up clearly.
"I am going to travel, and I will never see you again in this world."
"Master, let's eat the dumplings tomorrow before leaving." Su Rutang felt a little sad, as they would never see each other again.
"No."
Monk Liangran looked at Su Rutang and swallowed what he was about to say.
Turn around and leave.
He walked alone on the desolate street.
Out of the city.
Liao Ran looked back at the city gate, and he remembered the past. He was once a noble prince, riding a horse and galloping on the frontier battlefield.
The emperor was afraid of his prestige.
Forcing him to abandon everything related to the royal family step by step.
Cut off the three thousand strands of worries.
Convert to Buddhism.
Master Liaoran whispered: "Amitabha!"
Soon disappeared on the road outside the city.
Shangqi fell into a nightmare.
He seemed to be in a fire, and reached out to touch the skin on his face, but he couldn't move at all, and opened his eyes.
"mother."
"Abandoned child. Mother is here."
"My face hurts."
Su Rutang blew gently, "Master said, it's like the phoenix nirvana."
"You'll never need a mask again?"
Su Rutang lay down beside Shangqi and gently stroked Shangqi's shoulders. "No more masks in the future."
"Mom. It hurts so much."
Su Rutang knew that Shangqi was in great pain.
But... the master said that painkillers could not be used. She could only tell Shangqi stories in a soft voice and talk to comfort him.
……
Su Rumei, who was far away in Zhendong County, rubbed her shoulders. She had just received something sent from the capital tonight.
Su Rutang remembered.
There were also things sent by Princess Cheng.
She asked the maid to classify them.
I plan to send it to Lu Yanfu’s children and grandchildren tomorrow, New Year’s Day.
"Ma'am, have you rested?"
"Yeah. We have to get up early tomorrow. There are so many things to do during the Spring Festival. Tomorrow each servant in our yard will receive a red envelope." Su Rumei sat in front of the dressing table and let Bai Zhi remove her makeup.
"I have prepared it."
There is movement on the corridor outside.
"The general is back."
Su Rumei didn't move, and the maid Yu Jin opened the door outside.
"Has the lady rested?"
