Chapter 542: Chapter 543

Taffy Xu’s death set off a furor in the harem!

The Dowager Empress personally rushed to the side hall of Huiyi Palace if she had arrived, Empress Su, Empress Wei, and Imperial Consort Jiang and the others naturally had to rush over as well.

“Are you satisfied?!” In the presence of Consort Jiang as well as many courtiers, the Empress Dowager almost poked her finger into the faces of Empress Su and Empress Wei, almost roaring, “There are only a few people who gave birth to the late Emperor’s heir, Cui died before the late Emperor, and Fei Nuan, that slut, died before the late Emperor, and it’s only a matter of time, and now there’s no more Consort Xu either, so how many more sins do you need to commit to make yourselves happy? How many more sins do you have to commit before you are happy?

Empress Su and Empress Wei both fell to the ground, saying that they did not dare.

Imperial Consort Jiang originally had nothing to do with these things, and the Empress Dowager did not scold her, but the Empress Dowager had knelt, and she did not dare to stand so the attendants had bowed down, and only Yu Guo was left holding onto the Empress Dowager’s arm, forcing herself to stand with sadness.

“Do not dare?!” The Empress Dowager looked around at the crowd inside and outside, and said with pathos, “I see that you are begging for it!!!”

Both the Empress Dowager and the Empress were scolded so much that they didn’t dare to make a sound and only kowtowed desperately to apologize.

However, even though the Empress Dowager was furious over Mrs. Xu’s self . . was so furious that she made Empress Su and Empress Wei kneel on the ground for more than an hour before she was allowed to get up in the end, Imperial Consort Xu could not come back.

“Thickly bury this child!” Finally exhausted, the Dowager Empress looked at the remains of Dowager Consort Xu and sighed sadly, “Bring her suicide note with me!”

The content of the suicide note guess can guess: Xu Taifei to their own self. The explanation for her death is that she remembers the late emperor to the point that she wishes to go down early to serve him, and because she can’t bear to let go of the king of Shu, she hopes that he will be able to go to the emperor’s mausoleum to keep mourning for himself and the late emperor for three years after her death.

This time the group of ministers against the king of Shu will be succeeded to the Chen State Grand Princess of the table has not been handed up, but handed or not handed all does not matter: the king of Shu if you can out of the succession, then from the prince into the emperor’s nephew, so since the ineligibility to take the throne, but also lost by the Wei family as a front, pushed to the forefront of the value of the fight with the Su family, since the peace and quiet.

With the Empress Dowager present, Dowager Princess Xu was not worried about her son’s lack of food and clothing after his hasty succession.

If the ministers were still successful in their rebuttal, and the King of Shu failed to be credited to the Grand Princess of Chen, then with the passing of his birth mother and the request for him to go to the Imperial Tomb to observe his filial piety, it would be impossible for him to refuse, in both reason and reason.

Three years have passed, and the choice of the new ruler has been decided even after further delay.

Either way, the King of Shu can get out of this fiasco of a battle for the throne.

Only, the price was the life of Princess Xu.

“Aunt, is Lone … Lone wrong?” After everyone left, the king of Shu blankly knelt behind the filial curtain, looking at the paper money quietly burning in the fire pot outside the curtain slit, dazedly asked Xu Tai Fei stayed behind the beloved palace maids, “But lone is also the late emperor’s own flesh and blood … And, the second and fourth brother have been out of the succession, the elder brother is going to abdicate, the third brother is not welcome inside and outside , who is the new ruler if not Lone?”

That palace maid’s face was full of tears, and she was silent for a while before she said, “Then before the assassination of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why didn’t the Wei family think that Your Highness you were the most legitimate candidate for the new ruler?!”

King Shu froze.

“Your Highness grow up quickly!” The palace maid wiped her face carelessly, and said sadly, “After all, this time, there is the Empress who will protect you to the death, but in the future, if you encounter any more trouble, the Empress will no longer be able to help you!!!”

Before the words were finished, she couldn’t help but lose her voice and cry!

And at this moment in the Qipao Palace, He Xiuyi was also howling out, “Grandfather is so cruel! If he does this, the He family is safe, but what about my future?!!!”

On the night of the Empress Dowager’s birthday, after concubine Lu Hehao publicly revealed that Emperor Duanhua was the father of King Qing’s birthright, He Xiuyi felt that the sky had collapsed!

She cried until dawn after she returned at midnight that day.

Afterwards, although the left and right attendants good and bad, He Xiuyi in the end or all the way to emaciation, these two days is simply sick in the couch would have been such a critical moment, the district a Xiuyi not to say sick, is directly sick to death, the Empress and others are no effort to care.

But because there is a good mother’s family, the Wei family is now very worried that He Wenqiong will be pulled over by the Su family, so after hearing the news, Empress Wei specially issued an imperial decree to allow He’s family to enter the palace to visit the sick.

Isn’t it true that He Xiuyi’s mother, Lian, came early?

But right now, He Xiuyi would rather Empress Wei had not been so considerate!

She would not have seen her maternal mother, nor would she have known that her grandfather, He Wenqiong, had already made his choice and decided to secretly release King Su into the city and would not have despaired to the extent that she did now!

“My son, you do not panic!” Lian’s only He Qinwan a biological daughter, since the pearl as treasure, to see his daughter’s lifeless appearance, since the heartache of a million, panicked to come forward to pacify, attached to her ear quietly told, “You are really confused! Do not think so important news, if your father is really in favor of the words, will tell me? And implied that I will tell you this?”

He Xiuyi was slightly stunned at the words, stopped crying and whispered, “Mother, what do you mean?”

“Quietly put Su Wang into the city this decision is your grandfather made, your father and your three uncles are not a favorable!” Lian’s whispered, “Just your grandfather made the decision, your father and they can’t say anything! This is not, just as the Empress Mother allowed me to come to the palace to see you, your father learned of it, last night as a joke to tell me this what is the intention, don’t tell me you can’t hear it!”

And then he snapped at her, “Your father and I have been married for so many years, and you’re the only daughter, so how could we possibly want you to suffer?!”

“I didn’t say I wanted to go to the palace to seek riches!” He Xiuyi said, “When Empress Su picked our family, Grandfather said that it would be good for me to come to the palace, so I came otherwise I would not be a good young lady and have to run to the palace to look at me and be a lowly servant? Grandfather sent me here, but now when things come up, he’s not going to care about me, so it’s obvious that Grandfather favors sons over daughters!”

After complaining for a while, He Xiuyi fixed his mind, calmed down, and said, “Mother, are you saying … that I will tell the Empress Mother about this? It s just that … after doing so, grandfather … s family won t be okay, right?”

Although she was dissatisfied with He Wenqiong’s abandonment of her, after all, she usually had a good relationship with her family, and asking her to sacrifice her entire family for her own future was something she couldn’t do.

Lian’s sniffing was very satisfied with her daughter, touched her temples, and said mildly, “My son, you have this question, turn around and tell your grandfather to know that your father did this hand, there is nothing to blame!”

After praising this, Fang explained, “The most unlikely thing to happen now is our He family after all, back then, for the sake of His Majesty’s consideration, the late Emperor seized the power of the Forbidden Army from the Su family, he resolutely refused to allow the Wei family to intervene, and specifically chose your grandfather to be in charge of the army! Nowadays, the generals inside and outside of the imperial capital only recognize your grandfather, the Wei family will not dare to do anything to your grandfather even if they know that your grandfather wants to be unfavorable to them, because this is the same as forcing your grandfather to the Su family’s side! You can imagine what will happen to the Wei family at that time!”

He Xiuyi worried, “But if the Wei family wins …”

“That is, your father and you made a great achievement, the Wei family is a famous family, have their own temperament, how would they do to kill the full father and full grandfather of the meritorious thing? At most, your grandfather will be dismissed early!” Lian’s narrowed her eyes and whispered, “When the time comes, your grandfather’s things will inevitably be passed on to your father, with your parents backing you up, even if you and his majesty can’t live in this imperial city anymore, I think no one will dare to bully you!”

He added, “His Majesty is only abdicating, not dying, and my son is still young, so I’m not afraid that he won’t be able to produce anything in the future. When he has a child, he will have something to look forward to, won’t he?”

Being told so by her own mother, He Xiuyi also loosened up and said joyfully, “Still, my parents are good to meright, what should I say when I see the Empress?”

“How can I put it?” Lian raised her chin in the direction of Huiyi Palace and whispered, “Your fourth uncle has a marriage contract with that golden branch over there, and will be getting married in two days. Once King Su ascended to the throne, the fourth house will definitely gain power, then what is our big house? And I don’t think I’ve wronged your uncle, your father himself said that originally he and your second and third uncles were not in favor of your grandfather’s compromise with the Su family, and then it was your fourth uncle who came forward with a generous speech, and what happened? Your grandfather hesitated for half a day and finally decided to give the Su family a good sell!”

“You think that your fourth uncle is not a person who loves to show off, suddenly came out to urge the He family to fall to the King of Su, not because he is the King of Su’s prospective brotherinlaw and what can be the reason?!”

Lian smiled coldly, “There is an order of seniority although your grandfather did not have a title, but the eunuchs have been in the sea for decades, and the late emperor valued, for His Majesty’s military power, which can not have some good things at hand? Originally, these should be our big house, if you teach your fourth uncle on the basis of the Lord of the future to get it, this is also too unfair!”

In fact, He Zhi asked Lian to come to the palace to reveal He Wenqiong’s choice to Empress Wei through his daughter, but did not have this many thoughts from Lian.

He Zhi simply felt that He Wenqiong’s approach of not offending both was unreliable, and the result would inevitably be that both would be offended it would be better to simply choose one side!

And He Zhi was in favor of the Wei family’s side early on, so telling him to choose he of course chose the Wei family.

Most importantly, King Su had the obstacle of succession, and if he ascended the throne, he would cause too much trouble, and the likelihood that the court would be in favor of it was very low.

What’s more, as long as He Wenqiong didn’t let go of the water, the possibility of King Su wanting to quietly feel his way into the imperial capital was almost nonexistent!

So Su Wang face can not show, not to mention talk about convincing the group of ministers to embrace him, to the end of this empire to fight to go, just a few people, Su family is how to win the law!

Of course He Xiuyi doesn’t care about Lian’s own brainstormed words of defense and dissatisfaction towards He Qian right now the Wei family’s victory would be greatly beneficial to her, Xiuyi, then even if Fourth Uncle He Qian doesn’t have selfishness in mind, she’s going to oppose it!

At that moment, while listening, he nodded his head and said with a straight face, “Mother, don’t worry, I will immediately go and beg to see the Empress Dowager later on and tell her these words in their original form!”

Lian sniffed but shook her head and snapped, ”You child is really silly! Do you think that the Empress Dowager is really just giving her grace to let me come to the palace to see you? Of course, the Empress Dowager does have this intention, but more importantly, she wanted to see if I had brought in any important words or news when I came to the palace to see you this time you should lie down! Later, after Mother leaves, the Empress Mother’s side will definitely send someone over to question you!”

“It would be convenient for you to speak to her at this time, and it would also save you from suspicion outside the palace!”

“After all, that grandfather of yours is also a shrewd man, in case he knew that you couldn’t wait to go to the Unseen Palace before my mother left, do you think he would not guess what your father did?”

“When the time comes, your father getting scolded is a small matter, what if your grandfather is worried about a change of heart and gets King Su directly into the Imperial Capital?!”

He Xiuyi suddenly realized, nodded repeatedly the future appeared dawn, He Xiuyi heart stone fell, but also in front of the birth mother, quickly recovered a few points of the boudoir in the color of the delicate and naive, pampered, causing Lian’s laughter, more and more compassionate to her.

Enjoyed half a day of heavenly pleasures, the palace people came in to add tea after implicitly reminded, mother and daughter two only realized that time is not early, Fang reluctant to say goodbye to each other.

Not long after Lian’s departure, there was indeed a big palace maid in front of Empress Wei who came to visit with medicinal herbs, saying that Empress Wei had been concerned about He Xiuyi’s condition, and sent her over to see if He Xiuyi’s condition had improved due to her birth mother’s accompanying her in the palace.

He Xiuyi held down his excitement, dismissed his left and right, and told the news that Lian had brought, one by one!
