Chapter 1126: Prince Li's Extra: The Queen's Weakness
Over the years, Concubine Dong Gui only knew that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager had quarrels, but she had forgotten that someone had criticized the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's grandson and was beaten to death by the Emperor with a stick.
At this time, the emperor's imperial edict was spoken by the queen in a leisurely manner, and Concubine Dong Gui felt that there was thunder in her ears.
Even though she had been favored by the emperor for many years, she never dared to say anything against the empress dowager in front of the emperor.
Everyone is pretending to be deaf and mute, whitewashing the peace, but what did they just say?
"Sister Queen, my concubine did not, did not say..." Concubine Dong Gui felt that her mouth was no longer in control. She wanted to explain, but there was no reason for her explanation. The few times she spoke, all she came out with were useless words.
After the queen finished speaking, she turned around and sat on the chair brought by the maid. She watched Concubine Dong squatting on the ground and tried to explain. She just watched quietly and said nothing.
"Sister Queen, I was also driven into panic. That little bitch just now fed me Zui Beichun, the secret medicine of the Bei'an royal family. She also took the antidote away. If I don't keep her, my sister will It’s okay if my sister is dead. I’m just afraid that the emperor will be sad, so I ask my sister to take that girl back for the emperor’s sake.”
Concubine Dong Guifei, who had no hope of explaining, could only change the subject. She was suppressed by the queen's momentum just now, so she could only find another way now.
Her relationship with the Queen has always been cold, and the only one who can move the Queen at this moment is the Emperor.
Others don't know it clearly, but she understands that even though the emperor only shows respect to the queen, the eyes that the queen looks at the emperor are full of affection. The only one who can make the queen change her mind is the emperor.
The queen looked at Concubine Dong Gui. One side of her face was burned by the fire, and the intact side was pale and haggard. She had lost her past charming charm. She was crying and looked indescribably pitiful.
Naturally, the Queen would not pity Concubine Dong Gui. She had brought her own fault for being like this. She just thought of the Emperor. If something happened to Concubine Dong Gui, she would probably be sad for a long time. Perhaps, she would become even more estranged from herself because of her.
A wry smile couldn't help but appear on the queen's lips, and she asked softly: "Do you know where that girl is going to send the antidote?"
Concubine Dong Gui did not answer, but her body slowly softened.
"If the Emperor has a choice, the Emperor will save me."
Except for Murong Kai, no one in this palace needs the antidote. Concubine Dong Guifei looked flustered, but she still said firmly.
The queen looked at Concubine Dong, and the bitter smile on her lips became heavier, because Concubine Dong was right.
Concubine Dong Guifei was the one who was dear to the emperor's heart.
"But, I am the queen and Ah Kai's aunt."
The Queen's meaning was also obvious. Her choice was Murong Kai.
The fire of hope in Concubine Dong's heart had turned into ashes when the queen said the word "mother".
However, she was really unwilling to do so.
Therefore, she still had to think of a way. She suddenly knelt straight, looked at the queen, and said word by word: "Sister Queen, please let me see the emperor? He has pampered me for so many years. Before he dies, I want to see him." On her side, Jie'er is also in the Third Prince's Ruyi Palace."
The queen naturally understood Concubine Dong's intentions, but she had to agree to her request.
All she could do was delay, hoping that Ah Man could rush to Ruyi Palace quickly and feed Murong Kai the antidote. By the time they arrived, everything would be a foregone conclusion.
Therefore, the queen did not speak and just looked at Concubine Dong Gui.
Every minute and every second was fought for by her, the legitimate mother, for Murong Kai.
But Concubine Dong Gui obviously also knew the queen's plan.
However, she couldn't wait any longer. As long as she was a step late, her life would be in danger.
So without waiting for the queen to reply, she suddenly stood up and ran towards the door of Zhuoyao Palace, shouting as she walked: "Queen, I just want to see the emperor before I die. If anyone dares to stop me, the emperor will definitely not forgive me lightly. "
She ran towards Ruyi Palace quickly, her back was messy, like a mad woman.
