Chapter 286: In chapter 286, the Empress Dowager passed away and the king of Huai became an independent emperor in Chang ‘an

Princess Li Lingling went up to take a look and said, “Shouldn’t this last dish be called the winged bird of heaven? There should be two winged birds, but why is there only one? There’s something else underneath!” Qiao jinniang said, “Don’t worry, grandmother. The name of my dish is not the winged bird. People say that the winged bird has deep feelings. However, I don’t think so. Bi-winged birds only have one wing and one eye, so both male and female birds must be together in order to fly. However, if the male bird falls in love with another bird and finds her, will the female bird have to die? No, the female bird can also find another bird to continue flying in the sky. The female bird can fly with the wings of a goshawk or a large eagle. Why would she need to put herself in a desperate situation for a male bird that had changed its heart. Imperial grandmother, you should never have blamed Lu Chen and Empress Zhou. When you fell out of favor, Empress Zhou wasn’t even born yet! You shouldn’t blame Imperial Consort Zhou the most, but the late emperor who had changed his mind!” “Jin Niang!”Empress Zhou came forward and tugged at Qiao Jin Niang’s sleeve. The empress dowager helped Li Lingling up and said, “If it weren’t for that B * Tch from the Zhou family…” Lady Qiao said, “Imperial grandmother, even without the Zhou family, there would still be the Wang family and the Zhao family. If it weren’t for the previous Emperor’s change of heart, what crime would these harem women have committed? “The previous Emperor has passed away, but you have tormented yourself for more than twenty years, causing your own grandson to be in danger time and time again. Don’t you understand until now?” “You are now the most precious woman in the world. Do you even want to think about that person who betrayed you and hate other innocent people?” The maidservant beside the Empress Dowager supported the empress dowager and said, “Your Highness, the Crown Princess is right. The Li family advised you to hate Noble Consort Zhou and the Zhou family because the Grace Palace wanted power and did not want to be suppressed by the Martial Duke’s public house. They wanted to use you to let King Huai Wang Yong achieve great things! “Think about it. The chef Li Yu that King Huai found for you is harming you everywhere. “And the Crown Princess is still willing to forget about the past and advise you not to leave any regrets. Don’t hate the wrong person!” Shouan’s eldest princess cried out, “Yes, mother, please think things through. Eat some and go in.” A tear fell from the corner of the Empress Dowager’s eyes. After tasting it, there was actually a salty taste. She trembled as she picked up her chopsticks and said, “The most delicious dish back then should have been this stewed mutton. I haven’t tasted this mutton for a long time. I heard it was from Longxi. Because at that time, Ai Jia saw that the heavenly wish was a good metaphor for the winged bird, but she missed that Lamb. Ai Jia hated eating the poultry made by the imperial chefs the most, but in order to pair them up as a metaphor, sigh.. Where’s Chen ‘er? Where’s Chen ‘er? Ai Jia let him down the most. When he was young, I always scared him when he came over to call his imperial grandmother. “He’s really bold. He’s never been afraid of me.” Qiao Jinniang silently wanted to say what kind of grandmother she should be at this time, but a dying man’s words were also kind. She could only say, “Your Highness is on the battlefield in Yunzhou. If grandmother has anything to say, I’ll definitely pass it on to Your Highness.” “Sigh, I’ve let him down. If it weren’t for me, he wouldn’t have married a servant who was raised by me, a woman who was a merchant in a small place, to be the Crown Princess Consort…” Qiao Jinniang:”…” Princess Shou’an said to the empress dowager, “You’re Old and muddle-headed. Jinniang is such a good child!” The Empress Dowager said in a muddle-headed manner, “Muddle-headed, I’m not muddle-headed. I’m very clear-headed…” Before the empress dowager could swallow the mutton in her mouth, she fell straight to the ground. The imperial physician went forward to check her pulse and knelt on the ground. He said to the Hui Lin emperor, “Your Majesty, I’m sorry for your loss. The Empress Dowager has passed away!” The female officials of the Shang Palace all distributed the mourning clothes they had prepared to the crowd. After Qiao Jinniang put on her mourning clothes, she also knelt in front of the empress dowager’s spirit. Empress Zhou understood that she was pregnant, so she only let her kneel for a short while before standing up. Qiao Jinniang saw that the women of Uncle Cheng’s manor were crying miserably. The Empress Dowager was gone, and the pillar of Uncle Cheng’s manor was about to collapse. In the mourning hall. Yu Yan was dressed in mourning clothes and ignored the etiquette. She hurriedly walked up to Qiao Jinniang and whispered in her ear, “The Crown Princess Consort is in trouble. Yesterday, the ladies of Marquis an Yuan’s manor were all announced into the palace. Only Miss Qiao was left in the manor. But yesterday, she received a letter early in the morning. After hurriedly leaving the house, she never returned to marquis an Yuan’s manor. It has been two days and one night, and it is already dark. The steward of the Marquis estate was anxious, but because of the death of the empress dowager, all the masters of the estate were in the palace. They did not know what to do, so they told the guards of the eastern palace about this matter.” After the death of the empress dowager, all the wives of a high rank had to recite the scriptures for the Empress Dowager and attend the funeral. Unless they were as sick as old matriarch Zhou and could not get out of bed, they had to attend the funeral. Old Madam Qiao and Zheng Xiao and second madam Qiao had to attend the funeral in the Empress Dowager’s palace. Furthermore, there were signs of the Empress Dowager’s death, so these wives had to come to the palace early to wait for her. It would be a slight slight. When Lady Qiao heard this news, she used the excuse of convenience to return to the Eastern Palace and instructed the secret guards in the Eastern Palace to look for Qiao Ruoyun. She also passed this news to Qian Yin. Lady Qiao was rather uneasy. Qiao Ruoyun was an unattractive person, how could she go missing for no reason? Since she was pregnant, she stayed in the Eastern Palace to rest for four hours before going to the Empress Dowager’s palace. As soon as she went, she discovered that the women of the West Cheng’s grace uncle’s residence had all been captured. Li Lingling, who had cried the most miserably, was also tied up by the guards. “I am Princess Huai. The empress dowager just died. How dare you treat me like this?” Qiao Jinniang asked Fu Lu beside her, “What happened?” Fu Lu said in a low voice, “The empress dowager passed away. The prince came, but King Huai did not come. The women of the Cheng ‘en Bo Mansion also came because the man had long gone to Chang ‘an with King Huai. “It turns out that King Huai has joined forces with the Longxi Army and the Jiangnan King of Wu’s army to rebel in Chang ‘an and become the emperor himself!” Qiao Jinniang was puzzled and asked, “Even Qian Yin has rebelled? That can’t be, why would his troops come to Chang ‘an?” Fu Lu whispered, “Didn’t the southwest suffer successive defeats? His Highness the Crown Prince sent a letter to the imperial court asking Qian Yin to dispatch his troops to assist the southwest, and the king of Wu’s troops just arrived in Chang ‘an!” “This is too much of a coincidence.”Qiao Jinniang didn’t know if this was Lu Chen’s plan. Li Lingling said loudly, “You can’t do this to me. I Am Princess Huai! “No, King Huai has established himself as the emperor in Chang ‘an. I will be the empress sooner or later. Even if you lock me up, I will soon become the Empress!” Empress Zhou ordered someone to give Li Lingling a hard slap on the face. “You don’t know what you are talking about. Treason is a big crime. Since you know about treason, come and behead me!” Li Lingling laughed maniacally. “Your Majesty, you are still so arrogant!”! Father came to the Empress Dowager’s palace every day and had already absorbed the poison from the Empress Dowager’s body! Even if Qiao Jinniang and Lu Xi were still alive, what was the use! The Qiao family army led by the crown prince was completely annihilated in the Battle of Xiliang. The Army of Xiliang and the northern desert would only send their army south to help King Huai win the throne! “Hahaha, if you leave me alive, I can still save father. I Won’t let him die in too much pain.” The women guarding the funeral frowned when they saw this. King Huai and Princess Huai were too bold. A few loyal wives stood in front of Qiao Jinniang and Lu Xi, afraid that King Huai would harm them! Li Lingling laughed wildly. “Qiao Jinniang, didn’t you forbid the Crown Prince from taking concubines? Then go to the underworld and become your crown prince consort! The crown prince is where he is today because you are unwilling to take a concubine. You can not tolerate the harm Zhou Sisi and I have caused. “Hahaha, in the end, I am the rightful empress, and you are a person who is about to die!” Before she could finish her words, the maid beside the Empress chopped off Li Lingling’s head! Fresh blood spurted out and stained the clothes of many wives. Qiao Jinniang hurriedly covered Xi’er’s eyes, and the cowardly ladies also began to scream!
