Chapter 600 The Emperor Dies
Qin Zhao's voice faded away.
Concubine Shu in the previous life did not have a long life, so she did not take Concubine Shu to heart.
She didn't know how Concubine Shu died. If she had the opportunity to return to her previous life, she might be able to ask Xiao Ce about it.
As for Baozhu's concern, she knew it was justified, but she didn't want to change the status quo.
"Liangdi's mentality is good. The slaves don't want to look at Liangdi to see Concubine Shu's face, not to mention that Liangdi doesn't live with Concubine Shu, as long as His Royal Highness loves Liangdi." Baozhu was easily persuaded by Qin Zhao.
She felt that a woman like Liangdi should not bow her head to anyone, otherwise it would not be Qin Liangdi.
Even if Concubine Shu was the mother of His Royal Highness, she felt that Qin Liangdi should not be wronged by Concubine Shu.
"Let's talk about the future. Who knows what the future will be like. Thinking so much is just mediocre." Qin Zhao didn't want to bring up this annoying topic.
She felt that there was wine and she was drunk, but it seemed that everyone thought more deeply than she thought, thinking about what happened after Xiao Ce ascended the throne.
Isn't the emperor not dead yet?
At this moment, she only felt that the popularity of the emperor was not very good, and it seemed that everyone was eager for the emperor to die early.
I don't know if it's what everyone expected, but I heard that the emperor's situation was getting worse early the next morning.
Afterwards, Concubine Shu rushed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and stayed there for a long time. During this period, Concubine Wu also wanted to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but was blocked from the Hall of Mental Cultivation by the guards of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Baoyu told Qin Zhao all these news, and Qin Zhao asked, "Is it the emperor's intention or Concubine Shu's intention?"
"What do you mean?" Baoyu didn't understand for a while.
"Is it the intention of Concubine Shu or the emperor to keep Concubine Wu from the Hall of Mental Cultivation?" Qin Zhao asked again.
Only then did Baoyu react, and she quickly replied: "Of course it's what Concubine Shu meant. How can the emperor have such a mental effort to manage these trivial matters?"
"Really?" Qin Zhao's eyes flashed slightly.
Saying it's normal, but it's not normal either.
Before the emperor died, Concubine Shu took the guards of Yangxin Hall for her own use, and went beyond the rules to keep Concubine Wu from the Hall of Yangxin. To know that Concubine Wu's status is higher than Concubine Shu, what qualifications does Concubine Shu have to stop Concubine Wu from entering the Hall of Mental Cultivation?
Concubine Shu didn't look like such a domineering person before, but this kind of behavior seemed like Concubine Wu's style.
This time the two just fell apart.
"Concubine Wu has been arrogant for half of her life, the emperor is seriously ill, and the concubine Shu rides on the head of Concubine Wu, which is really happy." Baoyu's thoughts were not as far-reaching as Qin Zhao, and he only expressed his feelings.
"I'm more curious why Concubine Shu is blocking Concubine Wu. If it is said that the emperor is critically ill, Concubine Wu is also qualified to see the emperor?" Qin Zhao said with a frown.
Baoyu was at a loss for words, but Liangdi's words seemed to make some sense.
If the emperor did not have much time, he would definitely meet with Concubine Wu, who he cared about most in his life, but Concubine Shu stopped Concubine Wu, which meant that Concubine Wu might not be able to see the emperor for the last time.
"Go and inquire about the situation of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. By the way, where is His Highness?" Qin Zhao asked again.
"His Royal Highness was in the early morning, and now he should have rushed to the Hall of Mental Cultivation after hearing the news."
Qin Zhao told Baoyu to be careful, and asked Baoyuan to accompany Baoyu.
The two of them were far away, and Luo Fengyi suddenly ran over and asked, "Is the emperor ill?"
Qin Zhao shook his head: "I don't know either."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard messy footsteps getting closer. She listened carefully and knew that it was the footsteps of the guards, and there were many people.
If she was still thinking about whether the emperor could survive the battle, she also understood one thing after seeing this battle, the emperor is really not good enough.
After a while, Qiushui hurried over, and Wu Xirou also came to Wangyueju, walking in a hurry.
"Don't panic, Liangdi, the guards outside are all sent by His Highness to protect Liangdi, and there is no malicious intent." Qiu Shui said clearly.
"I know. Is Your Highness still in the Hall of Mental Cultivation?" Qin Zhao asked.
"Exactly, His Royal Highness can't walk away from the Hall of Mental Cultivation. King An rushed into the palace before, His Royal Highness the third prince is also in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the other princesses are also there..." Qiu Shui didn't finish his words, Everyone understands.
The emperor is about to die, and may be explaining his last words.
What Qin Zhao was concerned about was why Concubine Shu kept Concubine Wu from the Hall of Mental Cultivation. During that time, what was Concubine Shu doing in the Hall of Mental Cultivation?
At that time, only Concubine Shu was in front of the imperial court, so Concubine Shu must have done something.
For some reason, she always felt that Concubine Shu had a purpose in staying alone in front of the imperial palace.
It's a pity that she knew it too late, otherwise she could go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to hear what Concubine Shu did.
Seeing Qin Zhao pacing back and forth, Wu Xirou thought she was nervous, so she comforted Qin Zhao and said, "Sister, don't worry, everything will be fine."
Although everyone knew that the emperor had little time, they were all waiting for the boot to land.
In her heart, she was somewhat excited, because the man she admired could soon become the ruler of the world. As long as there are no other accidents, Xiao Ce will ascend to the throne and become the emperor of Daqi.
Only a man like Xiao Ce can be worthy of the throne.
"I'm not worried, His Highness can handle everything." Qin Zhao replied slowly.
She just felt like she made a mistake.
Because Concubine Shu died early in the previous life and was Xiao Ce's mother, she never took Concubine Shu to heart. To be precise, she never felt that Concubine Shu would be her enemy.
Even Wu Xirou discovered something. In the future, when Xiao Ce ascended the throne and Concubine Shu became the queen mother, and Concubine Shu hated her very much, she would have a hard life when she entered the harem in the future.
It was probably because her life in the East Palace was so comfortable that her vigilance became lower.
While Qin Zhao was thinking about it, time was passing little by little.
I don't know how long it took, everyone knelt to the ground, Qin Zhao also knelt down ignorantly.
She suddenly realized that the emperor had died, and the capital was under martial law!
What happened afterward had no real sense to her, and it had nothing to do with her.
It is only heard that Xiao Ce ascended the throne before the emperor's spiritual throne, but it is still some days before he officially ascends the throne. The late emperor died, and of course the next thing to do was the funeral of the late emperor.
Later, Wangyueju was guarded by many more guards. Wu Xirou and Luo Fengyi were with her. Later, Zuo Liangyuan also came.
Everyone took off their fancy clothes, put on suede, and turned their faces to the sky.
Later, Zhang Jixiang came to Wangyueju and asked everyone to return to their own residence.
Because the previous emperor passed away, Xiao Ce, the acting emperor who had not yet officially ascended the throne, was too busy to see her at this time.
Several days passed without Qin Zhao seeing Xiao Ce.
