Chapter 372 Imprisonment
Since there is no way out, the only way is to move forward, step by step.
After the carved door was closed, the gleam of light in the original passage disappeared, so she could only walk forward in the dark. She supported the wall with one hand to avoid it, walked in slowly, walked forward for about twenty steps, and finally saw There is a corner, and behind the corner is another secret door.
She pushed open the secret door, and there was a dim light inside the door, as well as an obscure atmosphere.
This is a dark room with no windows on all sides. Four palace lanterns are burning in the room, but it is still dim. There is a flat couch lying on the side against the wall. On the couch lies a frail old man. When the emperor.
The last time I saw him was at the palace banquet, he was so high-spirited, but it has only been a long time, and he is so old.
She rushed forward, quickly grasped the emperor's wrist pulse, listened carefully, and finally the frown was slowly flattened. Although the emperor's face was old and his breath was weak, he did not have any serious illness, nor did he show any signs of poisoning.
This appearance at this time should be caused by being imprisoned in this dark room, feeling depressed and irritated for a long time, coupled with the fact that the dark room is not ventilated, it is really of no benefit to the body, this is why he is so weak.
Sensing someone by his side, the emperor suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, the pupils were filled with storm and snow, after seeing the person coming, the wind and snow dissipated, and his eyes were pleasantly surprised.
"Yun Yu? Yun Yu? Is it really you? Am I dreaming? You are finally, finally willing to enter my dream, Yun Yu, you still hate me, don't you?"
Seeing him like this, Yuan Qiu's heart was also sour, but the past, after all, is the past, and it has disappeared like smoke.
She held the emperor's hand and said softly: "Your Majesty, I am Yuan Qiu, and I am your daughter-in-law, Xia Yuanqiu!"
The emperor's bewildered eyes gradually cleared up, he saw the person coming, and his memory was restored.
He struggled to get up, looked at Xia Yuanqiu in front of him, and sighed: "Son, why are you here?"
"Your Majesty, how do you feel? Is there any discomfort?"
The emperor shook his head: "I was poisoned by that Nizi's cartilage pill, and my limbs are weak, but there is no serious problem. I will not die for a while."
No wonder he looked so weak, but he was also poisoned by the cartilage pill.
"Your Majesty, haven't your servants tasted all your meals? How did you fall into Zhu Sheng's scheme?"
A trace of sternness flashed in the emperor's dim eyes: "It's the queen, she colluded with that rebellious son and plotted against my country. Living in this position, we are constantly making waves.”
He and the empress were originally a political marriage. They had just got married that year. He was still the prince. Because he was framed by greedy officials, he was sent to Lingyan Kingdom by his father as a hostage. And go, the already weak relationship between him and her also disappeared.
Later, a war broke out between Xiliang and Lingyan, and his father also saw the true face of the gluttonous official, so he sent a master to pick him up and return to Beijing, and he voluntarily invited the army to fight against Lingyan. His father was registered as the crown prince, and at that time he wanted to abolish the crown prince, but because of his father's intervention, and the fact that his mother and queen came from the same clan, he took care of his left and right, so he let it go.
He didn't want to bring up these past events again, he could only sigh that the world was impermanent and changing rapidly.
"But the empress dowager is your biological mother, how can she let the empress imprison you?" Xia Yuanqiu was puzzled, very puzzled.
The emperor shook his head: "I'm afraid the empress dowager is also imprisoned."
