Chapter 378: Death of the Queen Mother
On the eve of Feng Xuanming's birthday, the entire capital was filled with joy, but also with a faint atmosphere of tension.
I'm afraid many people won't be able to sleep tonight.
I don't know when heavy snow began to fall from the sky, and soon a layer of snow accumulated on the ground.
Su Chenyu stood in front of the window, looking at the snow scene outside with a solemn expression.
"Li Mucheng and Li Muyuan have already made arrangements. When we enter the palace tomorrow, everyone here will be sent to a safe place." Li Liyanqing put the fox fur coat on Su Chenyu, "After tomorrow, the situation in Xixia will change."
"Yan Qing, there shouldn't be any more accidents, right?" Su Chenyu looked at Yan Qing and said, "Everything that needs to be prepared is ready."
"Just a little bit more." Li Liyanqing held Su Chenyu's hand, "Feng Zhuohua and the Imperial Concubine should have already done it."
"Is there still no movement between Qingtu and King Pingliang?" Su Chenyu did not have much conflict with Qingtu, but she valued talents and would save as many as she could.
Li Liyanqing shook his head: "We have already reminded them of everything we can. If we say anything more, Qingtu will surely see through what we are trying to do with his intelligence."
Feeling the warmth from Li Li Yanqing's palm, the regret in Su Chenyu's heart slowly dissipated. Everyone has their own choices. Since Qing Tu believes in Feng Huailue, she, as an outsider, can't say anything more.
After all, she had no right to make Qingtu trust her, someone she had only met twice.
Because of the heavy snow, not many people were walking around in the harem, which made it convenient for Feng Zhuohua and Yi Qingchen to come to the Empress Dowager's palace under the cover of night.
In the evening, the palace servants had already fed the empress dowager a life-extending medicine and did not continue to watch over her. After all, the empress dowager was in too much pain after drinking the medicine.
Feng Zhuohua was guarding outside and did not enter the inner hall. Yi Qingchen walked into the inner hall alone. As soon as he entered, he heard the Queen Mother's intermittent moans.
The candlelight in the inner hall was dim. It was not until he reached the empress dowager's bed that Yi Qingchen could see her current appearance clearly.
Unlike her painful moans, the empress dowager's complexion looked exceptionally good, and she didn't look like she was in any pain at all.
But Yi Qingchen knew that the Queen Mother was now suffering inhuman torture. After all, the price to pay for prolonging her life must be huge.
The Queen Mother recognized Yi Qingchen. Even at this moment, disgust still flashed in her eyes: "Why are you here?"
Yi Qingchen sat beside the couch. She looked at the Queen Mother with a smile on her lips: "Of course I am here to see her off for the last time."
"My Lady, how dare you say such treasonous words!"
Seeing the empress dowager's timid appearance, Yi Qingchen showed a sarcastic expression: "The empress dowager is willing to listen to the emperor, endure so much hardship, and hold on until the emperor's birthday tomorrow. Is it for her daughter?"
Hearing this, the Queen Mother was shocked: "Did the Emperor tell you?"
Yi Qingchen shook his head: "Queen Mother, you are really a forgetful person. You insisted on killing me, wasn't it because I saw you and Yi Peng having a secret meeting?"
The Queen Mother first showed a look of doubt on her face, then she thought of something, and fear slowly took over her entire face: "Who are you?"
