"So what if you don't accept it? The military orders are like a mountain. Who dares to miss the military opportunity? Kill without mercy!"

Crown Jun Xiao Chengyi's attitude is very firm.

He will move forward bravely.

The second prince Xiao Chengwen shook his head and smiled, "At that time, I hope you have the courage to kill generals from aristocratic families, rather than letting it go out of the way. If you can't do it, don't give the people below unnecessary hope.

If you can't do it, don't put risks on those who are loyal to you. People's hearts cannot stand the test! I will say goodbye! I will enter the palace on time tomorrow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and left.

"Does the second brother not convinced me to be the crown prince?"

Xiao Chengyi suddenly asked.

Xiao Chengwen did not look back, "I am not dissatisfied! I have worked hard to do so many things, all for today, to enable my brother to ascend the throne and become emperor smoothly. I hope you will not let everyone down on your expectations."

"What do second brother expect from me?"

Xiao Chengwen smiled softly, "Let's talk about this issue when you drive away the Wuheng Prince Court."

This time, he stopped stopping and left the palace directly.

Xiao Chengyi sat on the steps.

The confidant eunuch Luo Xiaonian came to him and asked carefully: "Do you want to go back to the prince's mansion? Your Highness has not left the palace for many days, and the wife is very worried."

Xiao Chengyi came back to his senses and answered the question irrelevantly, "Did you notice Princess Chengyang's reaction today?"

Luo Xiaonian immediately replied: "Princess Chengyang has never said a word, and shed no tears."

Xiao Chengyi frowned, "What does she mean?"

"Princess Chengyang did not cause trouble on the spot. Shouldn't Your Highness be happy?"

"Should I be happy?"

The eunuch Luo Xiaonian dared not speak, for fear of saying the wrong thing and causing trouble.

Xiao Chengyi stood up and said, "I am tired and I need to rest. I will not leave the palace today. Send someone to say to my wife, telling her not to worry about me and let her take good care of everything in the mansion."

"promise!"

...

In Liangyi Hall, the mourning hall has been arranged. Tomorrow, the court officials and the royal family will enter the palace to cry.

Empress Tao gently stroked the coffin and looked at Emperor Yongtai who was quietly lying in the coffin, and couldn't help but feel sad.

After all, couples who have been in more than 20 years will not be faked for many years of love.

Although, in the last few years, the couple had a relationship and had several conflicts, but at this moment...

Queen Tao was full of gratitude to Emperor Yongtai deep in her heart.

Emperor Yongtai's death made her sad.

Especially, before his death, he did not leave a last word or even explain a word to her, and Queen Tao felt uncomfortable.

She stretched out her hand and gently stroked Yongtaidi's cheek.

Young Master Mei was a little panicked and whispered, "Empress?"

Queen Tao shook her head and signaled him not to disturb her.

She closed her eyes and recalled the beautiful past between the couple.

I always thought that the separation was still far away, but I didn’t expect that God would mess with people, and that life and death would be separated forever in the blink of an eye.

Her lips trembled and she spoke softly.

"Sanlang is great! You taught him very well. He has already become the king. Today, after reading a few words from him, I dealt with Dalang. I was happy for him, but I felt a little uncomfortable. He grew up and seemed to no longer need me. Do you think I am unnecessary? One day, will he dislike this palace for being troubled and blocking his way?"

Why……

A sigh.

Young Master Mei wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only sit silently.

Queen Tao was very sad, "When you leave, the capital city should change. I don't know how the world will change. Internal and external troubles are not stable, do you think Sanlang can bear the great responsibility? Will such a great pressure crush him? Why was the Northern Army defeated? If the Northern Army won, you wouldn't have gone so fast."

When talking about the Northern Army, Empress Tao remembered an important matter.

She turned around and asked Mei Shaojian, "Have you seen Sun Bangnian?"

Young Master Mei was stunned. After coming to his senses, he quickly said, "It has been a while since I saw him."

"This old guy!" Empress Tao was a little angry, "I remember that he was holding a secret decree in his hand, which was for the Northern Army. I guess that the secret decree had already left the capital at this time."

"Do you want the old slave to send someone to recover the secret order?"

Queen Tao shook her head, "I can't catch it back. Sun Bangnian did things without any leakage. He must have made arrangements and had long been wary of someone recovering the secret decree. I am just curious about the contents of the secret decree."

Young Master Mei comforted him and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The third prince is the crown prince whom His Majesty personally issued an order. He ascended the throne and became emperor with justification and was blameless. The secret order left by Your Majesty to the Northern Army is probably about the arrangements for war."

"I hope so!"

A little yellow gate hurried into the mourning hall, "Qi reported to the Empress, Lord Tao, please see him."

"What did he do? He said he would not be sick for almost a year, and he would enter the palace and disappear!"

Queen Tao was still angry with Boss Tao.

When she needed him, he would be alone and would not be sick.

Now that the emperor has passed away, the third prince is about to ascend the throne and becomes emperor, he runs out again.

Is it true that she, the queen, can be perfunctory?

If you can't see it, you won't see it.

The little yellow gate was in a little dilemma.

Supervisor Mei signaled that Xiaohuangmen was waiting at the door and did not rush to pass the message.

The little yellow gate felt relieved.

Mei Shaojian advised: "I thought the Empress would still meet Lord Tao. Now is the critical moment, and any situation may happen. One more person to support him will also help him. Lord Tao is familiar with the people in the court. If he stares at the civil and military officials for the Empress, the Empress can handle Your Majesty's funeral with peace of mind."

Queen Tao frowned, "Do you really think I should see him?"

"After all, he is the Queen's brother, with bones and tendons in her body. He is one of the few relatives in the world!"

Queen Tao sighed, "Forget it, I will see him. If you let him come in, kowtow to His Majesty first."

“This is what it should be.”

...

Boss Tao was invited to the mourning hall and kowtowed and burned incense honestly.

Then go to Weiyang Palace to talk.

It is still Weiyang Palace that can give Queen Tao a sense of security.

She joked, "Brother's illness has been cured? It's been cured quickly enough! I thought you wouldn't be cured this year."

Boss Tao pinched his nose, and felt a little embarrassed, "Queen, don't blame me, I'm having trouble."

Queen Tao sneered, "What's the hardship? You're just afraid that Your Majesty will destroy the bridge and take your head to sacrifice the flag. Now that Your Majesty is gone, no one will threaten your life, you can naturally come out to move out with ease."

Boss Tao was wronged, "Your Majesty is someone with a criminal record. Don't forget how his father died? Our Tao family was almost wiped out. The Concubine Jia Shu had already ridden on you. Fortunately, she was stupid and poisoned you, so Your Majesty killed her. Your Majesty passed away. Don't just think about his goodness because of this, forget what he had done."

Queen Tao said heavily: "I have never forgotten it, I have always kept it in my heart. But don't forget that the reason why our Tao family has today is entirely due to Your Majesty. Without Your Majesty, there would be no wealth of the Tao family.

In the past few years, the world has been difficult, and His Majesty has made some wrong decisions. But you cannot erase his merits. He was once a person with affection and righteousness."

Speaking of this, Queen Tao felt sad again.

Boss Tao opened his mouth and looked at Queen Tao with incomprehension.

"He's dead, you should be happy!"

He was puzzled.

Queen Tao angrily rebuked, "I am now a widow. Do you tell me that I should be happy? Do you have a conscience?"

"This is this..."

Boss Tao opened his mouth and said, "But you are about to be the Empress Dowager and you are supreme. Shouldn't you be happy?"

Queen Tao sighed quietly, "Everyone thinks I am very happy, even you are no exception. But no one believes that I am truly sad for Your Majesty. For many years, husband and wife really think that I am heartless and have no heart? Can't I be sad if he dies?"

Bang!

Queen Tao waved her hand and swept all the cups and plates on the small table to the ground.

Why can't she be sad?

Why do everyone think she is happy?

I am so happy to be a widow.

At least, let her be sad for a few days.
