Chapter 262: The Irritable Queen Mother vs. the Cold Imperial Master (45)
For the first time, Jin Yu disregarded her superiority and angrily said, "The Queen Mother knew the medicine you sent was poisonous! But she still chose to drink it!"
"Just because, this is what you, the Imperial Master, wish for!"
"The Queen Mother gave you countless chances! But you still killed her!"
Ming Yan froze, and suddenly remembered that every time she delivered medicine, the girl would hold the porcelain cup and ask him softly - Master, can I not drink the medicine?
It turns out that she knows everything.
With a bang, the porcelain cup in Ming Yan's hand fell to the ground.
The grief that he had been trying so hard to suppress finally burst out in tears and sobs at this moment.
Ming Yan stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to hug the girl, but when he was about to touch her sleeve, he drew back in fear as if burned by flames.
What qualifications does he have to touch the Queen Mother?
The last words the Queen Mother left in this world were about pain.
The deep regret and guilt were like huge waves in the river, sweeping away the beating heart in his chest and violently impacting his soul.
Ming Yan clutched his chest tightly, and a fishy and sweet taste rushed up his throat.
He whimpered in pain, his unclear words drowned in the blood mixed with tears:
"sorry......"
But the girl on the bed could no longer hear it.
-
The Queen Mother passed away and the whole country mourned.
In accordance with the girl's last wishes, Ming Yan did not send her to the imperial mausoleum, but buried her in the main courtyard of the Imperial Master's Mansion.
The tomb was filled with all kinds of delicious food from the capital.
Ming Yan knelt in front of the girl's tombstone for two whole days, without drinking a drop of water or saying a word, maintaining this posture.
No matter how Zhuo Xuan and Li Yuanfan tried to dissuade him, he remained motionless.
His eyes were blank and he was completely hopeless.
It was as if the whole body had been drained out, and what was kneeling on the ground was just a body.
Jin Yu hesitated for a few times, but finally walked to Ming Yan's side and presented him with a cup of hot tea.
"The Queen Mother wouldn't want to see the Imperial Master like this."
Ming Yan's eyelashes trembled, and he finally raised his hand stiffly and took the teacup.
He looked at the misty heat quietly, and in a trance, the girl's sweet voice sounded in his ears.
"Master, please take good care of yourself."
A breeze gently brushed across his cheek, as if someone was caressing him gently.
Ming Yan raised his head instantly.
It’s the Queen Mother. Are you back?
He stood up shakily, not caring about the spilled tea that burned his hands, and looked around anxiously.
The trees were green, Zhuo Xuan and Jin Yu were standing not far away, but there was no sight of that beautiful figure.
Everything that just happened seemed to be his illusion.
But Mingyan knew that it was the Queen Mother.
She didn't want to stay.
Ming Yan staggered to his knees in front of the grave. The Hundred Days Dream in his body struck again, but he was completely unaware of the pain that was like being tortured to death. His voice was hoarse and rough:
"Please...I beg you to come back..."
He prayed humbly, his vision gradually blurred by blood.
Snap——
A drop of blood and tear fell, like a bright flower, blooming on Ming Yan's clothes.
"Please... come back."
Ming Yan seemed to be in a trance, repeating this sentence.
When she saw the blood and tears crisscrossing his face, Jin Yu covered her lips tightly to stop herself from crying out loud.
If I had known this earlier, why did I do it in the first place?!
-
Ever since he felt the girl that day, Ming Yan seemed like a different person. Not only did he drink the antidote for the Hundred Days' Dream, he also began to help Mulanyue manage the government.
Ming Yan came to the emperor's bedroom until Mulanyue was able to handle everything on her own.
Chu Yixiao, who had been locked up here for a long time without anyone talking to him, had become somewhat unconscious.
Hearing the sound of the palace door opening, the dirty Chu Yixiao immediately crawled out from the corner, his eyes full of anticipation:
"Is the Imperial Master here to let me out?"
He heard from the guards outside that Jiang Lucha was dead.
Although that bitch Mulanyue became the queen, he didn't mind.
As long as the throne is still his! He can endure anything!
"I won't kill you." Ming Yan looked down calmly at Chu Yixiao, who was like a stray dog, and his fingertips moved slightly.
Zhuo Xuan understood what he meant and immediately held Chu Yixiao down and forced a pill into his mouth.
"Ahem, ahem, what did you feed me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yixiao's body suddenly became stiff and he collapsed to the ground.
He subconsciously wanted to sit up and check, but found that he could not move at all, and could not even make a sound.
Only his eyeballs were rolling around in fear and panic.
"Send the Emperor to court."
After Ming Yan finished speaking, Zhuo Xuan called two eunuchs to help Chu Yixiao up.
Chu Yixiao was terrified because he didn't know what Ming Yan was going to do.
Unable to move, he could only be carried to the Golden Palace like a piece of wood.
Civil and military officials have already arrived here.
The position where the empress dowager once ruled the country from behind the curtain is now occupied by Mulanyue.
She was dressed in a gorgeous green dress, with her hair tied up in a bun, and only a phoenix hairpin holding a pearl in its mouth was inserted into her hair.
Chu Yixiao looked at Mu Lanyue in shock.
Why is she in the throne room?!
"The Emperor is seriously ill, but the country cannot be without a ruler for a single day, so until the Emperor recovers, I will temporarily take over the administration of state affairs."
Mu Lanyue looked at Chu Yixiao, who was being helped to the dragon throne by the eunuch, with cold eyes.
Because Chu Yixiao was weak, he had to be tied to a chair with a rope to prevent him from falling to the ground.
"Since the Emperor loves this position so much, and even went so far as to lie to the Imperial Master and poison the Queen Mother, then I will allow you to sit here forever."
She wanted Chu Yixiao to see this magnificent palace with his own eyes, but never touch it.
Forever, be a puppet.
Chu Yixiao scratched Mu Lanyue with resentment and wanted to curse, but he couldn't say anything. He watched helplessly as all the civil and military officials bowed down and saluted, but the one they were worshipping was Mu Lanyue.
He couldn't understand why he just wanted to be a true emperor and take back the rights that belonged to him. What was wrong with that?!
However, Chu Yixiao would never be able to ask the answer.
