When the queen searched Rani Xian's dormitory, she fully understood her whole mind or plan.
The emperor had no children, and if the queen was not special constitution, she would not bear the prince after being poisoned. And then the second prince would naturally become the natural emperor. And then the Rani Xian would be the queen. As long as the emperor died, since the second prince was young, the queen and the general would naturally become regent.
Since the queen gave birth to the eldest son, the previous plan was naturally aborted. So the Queen killed the pretending of the second prince and even the Rani Xian, and then the general assisted the second prince to lead the army to revenge, which was understandable. Military power and justice were grasped in hand. If the emperor had no heir, and as long as he died，the second prince would become the emperor. Although the road was different, the result was the same.
But they did not think, the Queen had taken everything down. In the early morning meeting, in front of all the civil and military officials, the queen had admitted that a maid in an imperial palace accidentally let the second prince fall into the pond and drowned, and in a fit of her anger, she flogged Rani Xian to death who was full of nonsense and she begged to surrender.
Rani Xian died and the second prince died. The Queen's behavior directly confirmed the death of two people was real. How did the general with the real second prince prove that the prince was the second prince?
So the second prince was killed. It was the head that the queen had found for a long time when I just saw the queen and that was the real second prince's.
In the end, the general lost his reason, and the only thing he could do was to ask the emperor to punish the queen severely.
Knowing the beginning and the end of the matter, I took a long breath. The evil of Rani Xian was completely beyond my imagination, and the Queen's determination and goodness also exceeded my imagination.
I understood why the queen would make soup for the emperor herself, and why the emperor would show such a hesitant and painful look to the queen's soup.
But I still didn't know who was the ghost who created the illusion.
I continued to point the book with a pen: What would happen to the Queen?
Right. What happened to the queen? The general was about to lead the army back, and the queen had born all the blame, so what would be the fate of the queen after the general came back?
At this time, I hated the emperor's weakness.
Eunuchs Wang Bao was no longer afraid of me, creeping on the ground crying loudly, crying very sad. I pointed on the book, but found nothing.
Later, Wang Bao then raised his head and wiped his tears and nose. "Empress, Empress will be ordered to suicide with white silk hanging herself."
I ordered: does the queen know?
Wang Bao nodded hard: "The queen knew it. She told the slave, she would like to accept anything. She just wanted the emperor to drink a bowl of soup made by her own hands."
I was silent. What a simple request! But in the palace, and the general had not come back. Why did the emperor not even meet this request of the queen?
I pointed the book to ask questions, but Wang Bao shook his head to disagree with me, and said, "The emperor does not want to, but the emperor knows that he does not drink the soup of the Queen, but the loyal determination of the Queen."
The brush fell on the ground. I sat powerless at the bedside, with thousands of words in the heart, but I could not say a word. I didn't even know whether the emperor should drink soup.
Wang Bao cried again for a while, and then looked around doubtfully, then kowtowing very heavily, which hit the floor to send out a "thumping" stuffy sound. His forehead was red and his forehead was green. His forehead flew out the bright red blood. Wang Bao still did not stopped. Even the strength had not been reduced.
"Immortals, please save the queen. Immortals, please save the queen.
A cry like a cuckoo's blood let me be overwhelmed, Wang Bao, you do not know, the emperor, queen, general, and even you, had been dead for a long time.
It was a feeling of powerlessness that I had never experienced before. I would like to help this kind queen, but everything was too late, all being over.
Wang Bao did not stop. I put my hand on his forehead. I could feel the strength ofWang Bao's kowtow was very strong. The blood temperature passed to my palm. The palm of also felt the temperature. He raised his head, looking at me full of hope.
It made me feel bad because I couldn't help him.
I picked up the books and pens that had fallen on the ground and clicked: I would find the queen's soul and protect her.
When I finished, Wang Bao repeated like a machine, and then cried. I stood up. This was the only promise that I could do, but even as to whether I could do it, I didn't know. I also didn't know where the queen's soul was. but I would go to find it all my life.
Wang Bao kowtowed three times: "Thank you, immortals." Perhaps he knew that this was the best outcome.
But there was one more thing I could do. It was that I let the emperor drink a bowl of soup made by the queen.
I made up my mind that, even if the emperor refused to drink, I would rather than pour it in and I must let him drink.
I used a pen to point at Wang Bao. Wang Bao did not show any joys, but he silently nodded. That night, I did not leave, but I stayed in Wang Bao's room until dawn, and then I went to the Queen's bedroom in the morning light.
Learning from Wang Bao, I knew that the queen would get up and make soup before dawn, so that the emperor could drink the soup she had made before he came to court early in the day.
Sure enough, when we arrived, the queen had already made the soup and was sweaty. Seeing Wang Bao walked to her, she smiles. Though it seemed a little scary on her skeleton face, I thought the queen was beautiful under the sun for the moment.
Wang Bao respectfully took the soup. He did not mention me, and it was the agreement between the two of us. For the queen, the emperor's initiative to drink soup was what she wants.
The queen ordered a few words, saying drinking soup needed a small spoon and then eating the lotus seed below after drinking a mouthful of soup. In such a few short sentences, we could feel the deep and thick relationship between the queen and the emperor.
When we arrived at the side-palace, the emperor had been waiting there. I knew from the mouth of Wang Bao, the emperor will wait for the queen's soup each time in the side-palace. Although he did not drink, he would always wait.
Wang Bao went up to introduce me. The emperor was surprised and with a little fear. I ignored his reaction, but simply told him a fact: Rani Xian had a soul while queen had a soul you could suppress Rani Xian's soul as well as the Queen's Soul and the general's soul, or even you could dispel the Queen's sould, and I can protect the Queen's soul but you must drink the soup.
Persuading the emperor was simpler than I imagined, because the emperor knew that everything could not be changed. Even if the emperor and Wang Bao called me immortal, it could not change. Rather than so, it is better to drink soup in exchange for my promise to protect the queen's soul.
