Chapter 302 Palace change
Empress Dowager Lu picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth gracefully, then got up, walked slowly to Si Zhong, and spoke unhurriedly.
"Tomorrow night, the rebels will enter the palace to try to assassinate the Holy One, and the Aijia had to gather all the imperial guards to hunt down the assassin, but unfortunately, the assassin succeeded.
The prince was young, so Ai's family had to hold the dragon seal temporarily and manage the court. "
Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Lu paused, looked down at Si Zhong, and asked word by word.
"Do you know how long Aijia has been waiting for the sky?"
Si Zhong didn't say a word anymore, knowing that it would be useless to talk too much.
Empress Dowager Lu looked outside the brightly lit door and said without expression.
"Today, when the officials and family members enter the palace, only your wife is missing. Aijia is tired of hearing those reasons. You should be glad that Aijia believes in you.
Now everything is ready, only Dongfeng is owed, you just need to do what you should do, go back. "
After Si Chong thanked him, he left the palace alone. Looking at the empty street, he felt an inexplicable sense of sadness in his heart.
…
After Si Zhong left, Empress Dowager Lu went to the emperor's bedroom again. The emperor was still sleeping soundly. Although he was provided with soup and medicine every day, he had lost a lot of weight and his face was so pale that he seemed to have aged several years.
Looking at such an ordinary emperor, Empress Dowager Lu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, so there is only one breath left, which is no different from death.
Even worse than death.
She caressed Zou Yuan's thin cheek lovingly, and murmured.
"Soon, soon you will be free."
The Empress Dowager Lu left contentedly, not noticing that the fingertips of the person on the bed moved.
…
On the second day, the chaos in the capital was unprecedented. A large number of rebellious parties were raging, and the people shut their doors behind closed doors and dared not go out.
At night, the palace was brightly lit. The Empress Dowager sat in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, listening to the sound of swords clashing outside, she seemed to be planning a strategy, but her trembling hands betrayed her nervous heart.
She glanced at the **** beside her, her voice was hoarse.
"Go out and have a look."
After the **** went out, he came back after a while and said.
"Empress Dowager, it's all over."
Empress Dowager Lu was so excited that she almost shed tears. She raised her hand and said to the eunuch.
"Fu Ai's family went out to have a look."
Empress Dowager Lu went out of the house, looked at the corpses outside, and couldn't help laughing twice.
Finally, finally, this day has come.
Empress Dowager Lu sent all her cronies tonight. At this moment, the battle in the capital will only be worse than the battle in the palace.
At this time, Guo Yi, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, came over with a group of people, and Empress Dowager Lu immediately went up to ask.
"The emperor can solve it? Take me to see it."
Guo Yi nodded.
"Empress Dowager, please follow me."
The same road to the emperor's bedroom was very familiar to Empress Dowager Lu. After all, since Zou Yuan was bedridden, she would come here every day. It seemed that she could only feel at ease when she saw Zou Yuan lying motionless on the bed.
Empress Dowager Lu walked quickly to the bedroom.
She was excited and couldn't wait to lift the emperor's bed curtain, wanting to watch him die with her own eyes.
However, to her surprise, the bed was empty, and there was no shadow of Zou Yuan.
Empress Dowager Lu's heart tightened, she immediately turned around, wanting to ask what happened.
But just before she turned around, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"The Empress Dowager is looking for me?"
