The emperor has owned this sachet for many years, and he never thought that there was something hidden in it.
I can't blame him. After all, the sachets are either good-looking, or it is common sense to calm the mind and exorcise evil spirits. What's more, when Concubine Liu gave him the sachets when he was the freshest and sweetest, the rewards they gave were also It's just that she wears it on her side from time to time, and as soon as Concubine Liu falls out of favor, the sachet also falls out of favor.
It's just that he never thought that a thorn that had been hovering in his heart for many years was actually uprooted by this small sachet.
The emperor picked up the three yellowed papers hidden in it and carefully looked at what was written on them.
Sure enough, there are still three hidden poems.
The use of words is very skillful, and it is very wonderful to work together.
This is why he believed that these six poems were all left out by Concubine Liu. Concubine Liu was different from the concubines in the harem who could at most read and endorse books. She had been taught by her father along with her elder brother since she was a child. To practice martial arts, Concubine Liu has a gentle temperament, and when her brother couldn't help going out to play, he stayed in the mansion to do the homework left by his father.
Her favorite is poetry.
When Concubine Liu and the emperor were deeply in love, the two used to go out together to admire the moon and recite poetry. The emperor had no talent for poetry, but this did not prevent him from admiring his concubine who could write poetry, but Concubine Liu was shy by nature. Even if he once mentioned, like a joke, why Concubine Liu wrote poems for trees, flowers, and clouds, but he never wrote it for his husband. At that time, the beautiful woman's white cheeks blushed with his words, and she lowered her head. He lowered his eyes and was speechless.
Seeing the beauty make this gesture, he forgot about it, laughed and carried the man to the bed to perform the man-making exercise.
At that time, he only cared about playing, and when Concubine Liu passed away, he ordered the palace servants to burn the paper in the whole palace, and the half-truth complaints at that time became resentment.
I love writing poems so much, but I have never seen one for me.
Before he died, he burned the paper of the entire palace, how could it be possible to say that there is no ghost in his heart.
The emperor had never said this to anyone else, and only determined in his own heart that Concubine Liu did not love him, but was only afraid of his power to enter the palace.
Of course, he selectively ignored that his original purpose of letting Concubine Liu enter the palace was to make Duke Liu feel uncomfortable as a father.
Unexpectedly, his wish was fulfilled, but after Concubine Liu died, he was affected by the original events for more than ten years.
He didn't want to think of Concubine Liu, but things in this world always backfired.
Concubine Liu frowned and smiled.
Concubine Liu dared to invite him to fly a kite together.
Concubine Liu gave birth to the eldest daughter. He ignored the obstruction of the palace staff and went to the bedside to visit. The air was still filled with blood. The stunning-looking, pale woman was lying on her back on the bed, with cold sweat dripping from her forehead, but she still directed at him. Showed a smile.
"Have Your Majesty seen the little princess?"
"Mammy said she looks more like Your Majesty."
It was the emperor's first child, but he had seen many younger brothers and sisters before he ascended the throne, but every time he saw children who had opened up, Yuxue was cute, with big eyes on grapes. I did see the baby being held in the swaddled baby by my mother, but the red skin frowned and closed her eyes, no matter how I looked at it, it didn't look like him and Concubine Liu at all.
The emperor's heart crossed a heavy signal of "My daughter is too ugly", for fear that Concubine Liu would have to appease her when she saw that she would be stimulated.
"I saw it, and it is indeed very similar to me."
"Can your majesty take a name?"
"got it."
The emperor doted on Concubine Liu, thinking that her child was a prince, but he didn't expect it to be a princess, and without any hesitation, he said the name that he had prepared for the prince before.
"Huyang, in the future, she will be our Princess Huyang."
"I will protect her, and I will be prosperous and happy forever."
The smile on Concubine Liu's face became more and more beautiful, and her eyes that were always full of shyness and tenderness showed exhaustion. Before she could say a word, she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The emperor sat on the edge of the bed and pulled her hand. For some reason, he clearly knew that she was just sleeping and the child was tired, but there was a huge uneasiness in her heart.
As if she fell asleep like this, she would never wake up again.
Will not.
Concubine Liu was just tired after giving birth, and she would wake up naturally when she slept.
When she woke up, she would definitely recite poetry, draw and fly kites with him again.
She would hold the kite with a smile, her beautiful skirt fluttering in the wind, like a fairy, standing there smiling and calling him.
"Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
The eunuch serving on the eunuch carefully finished the shrimp, and cautiously and respectfully called out to the emperor who was sleeping peacefully on the bed.
"Your Majesty, it's time to get up."
"Your Majesty..."
The old prince on the bed slowly opened his eyes with his voice, and for a while, he didn't know whether it was a dream or a reality.
Tiredly, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, then stood up slowly. When the eunuch who was waiting for him silently stepped forward to help him down, he suddenly asked in a hoarse voice, "How is Concubine Liu?"
I really don't know where the rules are broken in the palace. Concubine Liu is not allowed to visit after giving birth to a child. Concubine Liu has always followed the rules. Except for the day when Huyang was just born, he was not allowed to visit the rest of the day. He instructed the people around Concubine Liu to take good care of her, and asked every day for fear of making a mistake.
The old eunuch who had been serving the emperor for almost half his life replied inexplicably, "Your Majesty, isn't Concubine Liu a servant?"
"Damn!!!"
The emperor was furious, he waved away the eunuch who was about to support him, and stood up abruptly, his bloodshot eyes filled with anger.
"You pickle!! How dare you curse my beloved concubine!!"
How could Concubine Liu die
She clearly just gave birth to Huyang, and now she should raise her body in the palace!
The old eunuch served him for half his life, and as soon as he was pushed away, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy, "Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life, Concubine Liu really went to work early!!"
"Your Majesty, spare your life!!"
His voice has always been honest and sincere, but at this moment, he was in a hurry and even brought a bit of spies.
The emperor's hair was disheveled, he staggered back two steps, and fell to the side of the bed.
Yes, Concubine Liu has passed away.
In a blink of an eye, so many years have passed.
What happened in the first place.
Isn't Concubine Liu resentful towards him
But if he was really resentful, why did he send him this sachet with hidden poems, and why did he write those verses.
The old eunuch knelt on the ground, raised his head quietly, and looked at the emperor who already had white hair on his head and looked blank.
After a while, the emperor said in a hoarse voice, "Go to the cold palace and bring back the old man who served by Concubine Liu."
"Yes."
The old eunuch hurriedly saluted, got up slowly, still kept his waist bent into a shrimp, and left the palace cautiously backwards.
The emperor appointed him to go, and he naturally couldn't instruct the little eunuch to go, so after leaving the palace, he went all the way to the cold palace.
He happened to meet the eldest prince on the road, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted, the eldest prince seemed to be in a bad mood, but he still warmly asked him to get up, and asked a few more questions about the emperor's recent health. Although the winter has passed, the father is old. You people must take good care of him.
The old eunuch knew that the eldest prince wanted to ask him where he was going and what he was going to do, but because the emperor had always been the most taboo to inquire about his whereabouts, he held back and did not speak.
He said "Your Highness, you are so respectful and concerned that Your Majesty's old slave will tell him truthfully how much you love him", and then he was able to escape.
Before he escaped, His Highness stopped him and gave him a nice jade wrench.
It means that he has worked hard to serve the father and emperor, and he will serve more in the future.
The old eunuch hurriedly made another look of gratitude.
How can someone who is like someone else not see that the eldest prince hides contempt and disdain for the eunuch even though his face is gentle.
Anyway, I have long been used to it. In this palace, eunuchs are despised by people. If they don’t climb to a high position, waiting for the eunuch’s end will either die for various reasons before they reach their age, or they will be killed after getting old. After being expelled from the palace, except for serving people, they can't do anything, but because they cut off the thing under their body, most of them have hidden illnesses when they get old. People who are eunuchs often look down on them, and they don't have any children or grandchildren. Support, often end is full of filth under the body, and die without dignity.
Compared with those eunuchs who single-mindedly wanted to climb to a high position, the old eunuch's goal has always been to leave the palace.
He adopted a few abandoned babies early, and used them as his own sons to raise them. He also used his finances to buy properties outside the palace. He planned to be able to go out of the palace to be supported by his sons, and have money to be with him. From now on, he didn’t have to work day and night. Worried about which sentence was wrong, he was dragged out and beheaded.
It's just that he never expected that it was because he served carefully and cautiously that the emperor did not want to let him out of the palace, but continued to serve him by his side.
This is a great honor for other eunuchs who want to climb up, but it is a torment for the old eunuchs who are full of going out and being supported by their sons and enjoying their old age.
But there is no way, the emperor is the biggest person in the world, he can only still serve respectfully, looking forward in his heart to wait until he is old and the emperor does not want to use him, he can leave the palace.
The eunuchs have a rest, but those little eunuchs have no power, even if they have a rest, they can only be in the palace.
Every time it was a holiday, he would go out of the palace to visit his adopted sons.
They all grew up and respected their adoptive father who gave them food and let them live a carefree life. The eldest child has married and gave birth to a young grandson for him.
The old eunuch adopted a few sons just for the old age, but he hurt his soft and tender little grandson to the bottom of his bones.
He just wanted to leave the palace early and take good care of his grandson.
But before he left the palace, his grandson was already dead.
He was only five years old, and he walked a little unsteadily.
When I went shopping with my parents, I encountered a fast horse riding by, and the horse's hoof stepped directly on his small body, killing him on the spot.
When the old eunuch found out, he almost fainted out of breath.
When he adopted a few sons, he was not as free as he is now, so he could only take time to visit, but after the birth of his grandson, he went out of the palace to visit as soon as he was on holiday and watched him go from infancy to babbling and learning to speak. Toddler.
Soon, before he needed to find out what was going on, someone in the DPRK impeached the second prince's cousin for running a horse in the downtown area and trampling a five-year-old child to death.
In the end, it was a big thing and a little thing.
The long-dead five-year-old was said to have deliberately teased the horse so that it lost control.
At that time, the second prince's cousin was already trying his best to restrain himself, but because the horse was out of control, he could only watch the child who caused the trouble die under the horse.
The old eunuch went from anger to despair at the beginning to numbness.
He served the emperor for many years, and the emperor knew what he was thinking with just one look.
Facing the impeachment of the court, the emperor was only irritable.
It wasn't that the five-year-old child died, nor was the son's cousin murdering in the city, but the third prince and the fourth prince stood on the united front to face the first prince and the second prince.
The death of a five-year-old was just an excuse for their struggle for power.
The old eunuch had seen a lot of such things happen, but it was not his family who died, naturally it was none of his business. When his own relatives died in a wrongful way, but there was nowhere to seek justice, he realized that despair had nothing to do with it. How painful.
He knew there was nothing he could do.
Whether it's for the son who lost his child, or for the loss of all the grandchildren.
He still respectfully served the emperor on his face, and there was nothing unusual about his treatment of the second prince.
Sure enough, the second prince quickly found out that the child was his nominal grandson. In the end, he was concerned that he was the most capable father-in-law by the emperor's side. He sent a precious golden rockery to the mansion outside the old eunuch's palace for use. Make up for the dead child.
When the old eunuch knew about this, his eyes turned black.
A rockery made of gold wanted to buy his grandson's life, but he still had to bow before the second prince with a smile on his face, and said lightly, "It's because that child has no blessings, so why is it worth His Highness's trouble."
The second prince really didn't take this matter as a big deal, but the old eunuch buried hatred deeply in his heart.
He thought he would never have a chance to avenge his grandson in this life.
But I didn't expect that three years had passed, I'm afraid that even the second prince couldn't remember, someone actually found him.
The old eunuch has been in the palace since childhood, and he has been cautious all his life, never taking a wrong step.
But this time, he chose his grandson.
If the grandson died innocently, it would be fine, but those people still did not let him go, they insisted on adding a crime to his small body, and put all the faults on the innocent him.
The old eunuch slowly got up and saluted the figure of the first prince leaving, his expression still respectful.
Just beside his ears, there seemed to be the sound of little children giggling and shouting.
"Grandpa, I like Grandpa the most..."
"General."
Shen Huan's nth fiasco.
He looked at the chess pieces that were still waiting to be played in his hand, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Brother-in-law, is this really your first time playing chess?"
The weather has been getting better and better these few days. Lin Shiheng, who has always been wearing a heavy cloak, also took off his winter clothes and put on a blue clothes that made him more frail. At this moment, he was kneeling at the table, and his slender and beautiful fingers took care of the table. The chess piece is slowly withdrawn.
"Young soldiers can also eat generals, isn't that what you just said?"
"I was right."
Shen Huan was still dazed, "But it's your first time..."
"I have been smart since I was young, and I have always learned what I have learned. Your Highness doesn't have to be too serious."
Nowadays, people praise people implicitly. Where is Lin Shiheng who praises himself without blushing at all, but Shen Huan has been tempered by this brother-in-law for a while. Listening to him boasting like this, he actually takes it for granted. nod.
"Also, how can I compete with my brother-in-law? Otherwise, we still don't play chess. The weather is good recently. Why don't we go out for a walk together, or go hunting on the village under my name?"
He was very enthusiastic. "Brother-in-law, I don't know, many game dishes taste very delicious after cooking, but they are not as good as hunting by hand. Let's bring bows and arrows, ride over together, and come back in the evening, how about it?"
Of course Lin Shiheng knew what his wife and brother were thinking about in this little head that didn't stop at all.
Just want to beat him once.
He couldn't win at chess before, so he clamored to play chess that Lin Shiheng had never played before, and when he lost chess again, he planned to go hunting again.
He put away the chess pieces and asked in a light voice, "Your Highness just wants to beat me?"
Being seen through and thinking carefully, Shen Huan smiled cheekily, "Sister said, if I can win my brother-in-law, I won't need my brother-in-law to teach me to study in the future."
Lin Shiheng reminded him, "The princess is talking about playing chess."
"But when my sister said this, she didn't specify that she could only win by playing chess."
Shen Huan was very righteous, "Brother-in-law taught me, in order to win, it's okay to use some small tricks occasionally. Isn't Huan giving back to brother-in-law's teaching now?"
"I also taught His Highness to drop ten guilds with one force."
"It doesn't matter, my brother-in-law should come down with me. Since my brother-in-law and my sister got married, I have been held by my sister to study every day, and I have to endorse it when I return to the palace.
Tsing Yi scholar Junxiu had a faint smile on his face, "Didn't His Highness say that he wants to compete?"
"If the minister does not teach His Highness, what will His Highness use to fight with them?"
Shen Huan pondered for a few seconds, and sadly found that what he said really made sense.
"But, it can't be like this every day. I've been relaxed for so many years, and suddenly it's like this, I can't adapt."
Lin Shiheng nodded, "His Royal Highness has been relaxing for so many years, which is equivalent to taking away all the relaxing days in advance. Now that the relaxing days are used up, it is natural to start working hard."
"Okay, the chess game is over, it's time for Your Highness to warm up the book."
Shen Huan, who once again tried to persuade but was counter persuaded, drooped his head and got up weakly to read a book.
Shen Huyang knocked on the door, and when he saw his younger brother's back straight and earnestly reading a book, a smile appeared on his face.
Hu An has always been lazy, and after studying with the concubine for these days, he was able to correct those stinky problems. It seems that the concubine really taught very patiently.
She walked over to the scholar in Tsing Yi who was also reading, and said softly, "Is the concubine tired? Do you want to rest for a while?"
Shen Huan, who would be hit by a board if he didn't straighten his back to study, put down his book pitifully and said aggrievedly, "Sister, I also feel tired, let me rest for a while."
"You are strong, and you are tired wherever you are."
Shen Huyang had long been accustomed to catching his coquettish younger brother from time to time, and shook his head helplessly, "Read the book well."
Lin Shiheng put down the book in his hand, stood up, and smiled at Shen Huyang with a gentle smile on Junxiu's face, which made her stunned.
"What the princess said is that after teaching His Highness for a long time, it is indeed a little tired. Why don't we go to the garden to feed the fish and enjoy the flowers?"
Shen Huyang would never reject his proposal, he laughed immediately and said, "Of course it's good, but there's still some cool wind outside, I'll go get the concubine a cloak."
The cloak was quickly brought over, and the couple went out together, leaving Shen Huan alone to continue studying hard.
He really wanted to be lazy while his sister-in-law wasn't around, but every time his brother-in-law came back, he had to do random checks.
Outside the door, unlike the elder sister and brother-in-law that Shen Huan thought about feeding fish, watching flowers and having fun, Shen Huyang walked down the path with her husband. Seeing that there was no one around, he said softly, "Concubine, I am very uneasy, you. Say, could something go wrong?"
"Princess be at ease."
The Qingyi scholar stretched out his hand and patted the back of her hand softly.
"Then Eunuch Zheng has always been with His Majesty, and His Majesty will take off the sachet along with his clothes every time he sleeps at night. He can conclude that His Majesty has never opened the sachet and looked at it."
"But what if the royal father looked at the sachet, but was indifferent?"
Lin Shiheng clapped her hand again, and said warmly, "Since the princess has followed the prince's name for the lake, even if the empress fell out of favor, she must have had feelings with your majesty at the beginning. The princess and His Royal Highness feel a little guilty."
"At that time, we don't need to do anything more. The coldness of the past ten years will naturally make His Majesty, in the memory of the Empress, put grace on the Princess and His Highness."
Shen Huyang always believed in her husband like this, he was relieved to hear this, and when he looked into her husband's eyes again, he felt a little more affectionate.
"It was Huyang who was tired of his concubine, and he actually asked a person like the concubine to make a plan for Hu'an."
"Why does the princess say that? You and I are one husband and wife. If the princess is worried, I will definitely solve it for the princess."
Shen Huyang's heart softened, "Then why don't you tell Hu'an about this?"
Lin Shiwen kept warm and smiled, "Your Highness has a clear temperament, so it's better not to pretend. If you really know about this, I'm afraid Your Majesty will see the clues."
Shen Huyang nodded, but in the end he couldn't restrain his admiration for the concubine.
"The concubine can come up with such a plan, and can also persuade Eunuch Zheng, who is beside the father and emperor, to help us, Huyang is ashamed."
The handsome consort smiled and hugged his wife, "Everything I think about is just for the princess."
Shen Huyang's face flushed again, leaning obediently in his concubine's arms, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
Seeing her like this, Lin Shiheng didn't tell her that the reason why he made this plan was because the old eunuch was the first to discover the hidden poem in the sachet.
This matter can be concealed from the emperor because everything is true.
Poems in sachets are true.
It is also true to write countless poems about admiring the emperor.
It is also true that before the crisis, because the emperor was deserted and disheartened, he ordered these poems to be burned.
Only the sachet that the old lady was carrying was fake. After all, the original poems had already been burnt out.
Shen Huyang is now happy that this strategy can make the emperor no longer indifferent to their siblings.
But if she knew that Concubine Liu was really affectionate to her father at the beginning, but ended up with hatred because of his cold affection, how could she be happy.
"Consort."
Maybe it was because he had a good heart. When Lin Shiheng was thinking about this, Shen Huyang suddenly raised his face and asked, "You said that the mother concubine was really because the father was neglected..."
"how come."
The Tsing Yi scholar's expression was as serious and gentle as always.
"There is also the princess and her highness under the nephew of the maiden. It is for the sake of a pair of children that she will never be so distracted. It is just that she has been ill for a long time, and there is no cure for medicine and stone, so she has to pass away."
"I think so too."
Shen Huyang leaned on his shoulder and complained a little bit childishly.
"The mother-in-law will not really like the father, the father is not good to her at all."
Saying that, it seemed that Concubine Liu died early because she was ill, and the concubine she couldn't help leaning on was closer.
"When the weather is clearer, let's go hunting together."
"The concubine doesn't know how to use bows and arrows, can Huyang teach you?"
She has not given up the method of making her concubine exercise a lot to strengthen her body.
The corners of the Qingyi scholar's lips twitched gently, and he responded softly.
"Okay, it's up to the princess."
"The empress wrote those verses when His Majesty stopped coming to Chang'an Palace..."
"At that time, the princess was young, and the concubine was weak in the arms of the Fifth Highness. Every day, she wrote poems in the room, and then packed it in a box. When the box was full, she replaced it with a new one."
"The slave servant was not the maid to serve me personally, so I only saw the maid crying while holding the box during a vigil. At that time, Your Majesty..."
When the old mama said this, she seemed to have some scruples, and quietly raised her head to look at the emperor's face, but was so frightened by his gloomy face that she quickly lowered her head.
The emperor's expression was gloomy, and when he saw the old slave talking, he stopped, and ordered, "Go on!"
"Slave... slaves don't dare to say..."
As she spoke, she kowtowed again, the snot and tears streaming down her face made the emperor feel irritated and disgusted and wanted to kick him, but because he wanted to know what happened back then, he endured it all his life and said angrily, "No matter what. What did you say, I will forgive you!"
"Yes… "
After hearing this, the old mama calmed down and continued, "At that time, Your Majesty was very kind to Concubine Yao, and concubine Yao was still a talented person at that time. She couldn’t even get down on the bed and couldn’t see Shengyan, she didn’t have a good relationship with the empress in the palace, so she wrote a letter and asked Concubine Yao to take it to her majesty.”
"Concubine Yao came back a few days after she had responded. At that time, the servants and others were all screened away. I don't know what she said to the goddess. I only know that since she left, the goddess has been crying every night. good."
The emperor clenched his fists sharply.
He had never received a letter from Concubine Yao, nor had he ever heard her mention a few words with Concubine Liu.
At that time, what did Concubine Yao say to Concubine Liu!
He clearly knew what was going to happen next in his heart, but he still asked self-abusely, "Then what?"
The old mama didn't look up, and naturally she didn't see the bloodshot eyes of the emperor. Xu Shi was talking about old things, and she cried more and more, with a crying voice.
"Since then, Niangniang has stopped writing poems and begging to see His Majesty, but every time she takes the paper in the box to look at it. Soon after giving birth to the Fifth Highness, Niangniang asked her family to enter the palace to meet, and after that, she asked us to put those The paper was burned, and that night, I vomited blood, and before the imperial doctor arrived, the empress had no pulse..."
"The slave's life was saved by the goddess. When I burned the papers, I guessed that the goddess's life was not long. At that time, the goddess once wanted to put the sachet that I was wearing on the body into the fire, but she hesitated a few times and never put it in. In the end Instruct the slaves to wait until she… until she dies, then burn this sachet."
With red eyes, the emperor took out the two sachets from his arms.
Exactly the same color, style, but the difference is that one of the owners has died early.
The old maid was still talking, "The slaves knew at the time that after the empress left, the slaves would be dismissed to various palaces, and they would not be able to go to Chang'an Palace in the future. Thinking of the empress's reluctance to let go of this sachet, she was fascinated for a while. I secretly hid it, wanting to see the missing person..."
"I beg your majesty to spare my life, the slaves really don't know there is anything in this sachet. The slaves have been in the palace since childhood, and they are illiterate at all. I beg your majesty to spare the life of the slaves!!"
Slaves and eunuchs were not allowed to read and write in the palace, so it was a big sin to carry paper with words on them. The emperor looked at the old maid below who kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, and all kinds of things flashed in his mind.
After a while, the plainly dressed woman pulled the kite string and looked back at him in surprise.
"His Majesty has a lot of government affairs, why do you still come to accompany your concubine to fly a kite?"
After a while, she was standing at the table with him. She blushed as he held his hand and painted.
He laughed at her, "Painting flowers and birds is so meticulous, how can you be so helpless when it comes to painting this landscape?"
She glanced at him shyly with her watery eyes, and retorted lowly, "I have been at home since I was a child, and I have never been out of the palace since I was a child. Since I have never seen a landscape, how can I draw it."
"It doesn't matter, I will draw it here. In the future, if Concubine Ai wants to see what I want to see, I will draw it one by one."
She was even more ashamed, and her eyes were always looking at him with gentle eyes, "What Your Majesty is saying now is, what should I do if I don't honor it?"
"If I don't keep my promise, Concubine Ai will paint a flower for me and exchange it with me for a painting you want."
After a while, it was him that he had a fresh new arrival of the beautiful girl, and he was a little guilty about going to Chang'an Palace, but he saw two sneaky palace maids on the road.
"I heard that Concubine Liu had a marriage contract when she was outside the palace?"
"You don't want to die! Where did you hear this!"
"I'll just tell you that there is a new palace maid in the room we are living in, and she is in the same room as Concubine Liu. She told me personally that Concubine Liu and her cousin are in love with each other. It wasn't that Your Majesty recruited Concubine Liu into the palace, I'm afraid she would have been married long ago."
"Stop talking, be careful to cause trouble!"
The two palace maids turned around after speaking, but met his livid face.
"Drag down, stick to kill!"
Not long after, the room where the two palace maids lived together was stabbed to death, and the eunuch who served by his side that day was also silenced.
He went to Chang'an Palace, but he did not see the docile tenderness in Concubine Liu's eyes.
At that time, he was dazzled by his anger, thinking that Concubine Liu wanted to fly with her cousin.
Especially after he ordered her cousin to go to the miasma land to become an official, and soon after he got the news of "died in the line", the relationship between the two directly dropped to freezing point.
At that time, he still had a glimmer of hope.
As long as Concubine Liu treats him softly, he will let go of the past.
But until Concubine Liu died, he couldn't wait for a soft word from her.
No, not right.
The emperor turned pale, stood up swayingly, wanted to take two steps forward, but staggered and nearly fell to the ground.
The old eunuch on the side quickly supported him, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, are you okay, Majesty..."
"painting… "
"painting… "
The emperor finally muttered, ignoring the mama who was kneeling on the ground, and staggered out in the old eunuch's anxious cries.
He was old and not as strong as he was when he was young. When he arrived at Concubine Yao's palace, Concubine Yao was having a meal, and when she saw him, she stood up in surprise with a gentle expression on her face, "Why is Your Majesty here at this time? "
"Yao Fei, I ask you."
The emperor was wearing a dragon robe and a crown on his head. Everything was neat and tidy, but for some reason, he looked very embarrassed.
He panted, staring at the concubine in front of her who gave birth to the second prince for her.
"Did Concubine Liu hand you a letter before she died?"
Confusion flashed in Yao Fei's eyes, and she quickly denied it.
"Where did your majesty hear it, the concubine has no friendship with Concubine Liu, how could she write to the concubine?"
The emperor did not miss the panic.
His expression gradually became furious.
"Okay! You don't say yes!"
"Someone! Bring the second prince here!!!"
"His Majesty?!"
Yao Fei looked at the emperor who smiled at her yesterday in disbelief, "What's the relationship with Ling'er at this time?"
The emperor looked at her as if he were looking at a dead man.
"If you don't tell me, I will let him out of the palace and send him to the land of miasma, and he will never be able to return to the capital. You don't tell me!"
Concubine Yao was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Ling'er is your biological son, Your Majesty!"
But no matter how much she begged, the emperor still didn't say a word, looking at it, no matter what she said today, he would not listen.
The two faced off for a few minutes.
The emperor was so angry that he laughed directly, "It seems that the second prince is not that important in your heart, good! I will fulfill you, come here, immediately pass the decree, and send the second prince Shen Huling to the land of miasma, and never return. Beijing."
"His Majesty!!!"
Yao Fei, who had thought that he would not be so vicious to her own child, cried and trembled, but when she saw that he was about to leave, she quickly hugged his leg.
"I beg your majesty to be kind, beg your majesty to be kind!!"
The emperor didn't mean to be merciful, and still turned to leave. Yao Fei was already confused, and in a panic, she shouted directly, "At the beginning, Concubine Liu did indeed send a letter to the concubine!! It's just that there is a picture in it. There is nothing other than the orchid picture, the concubine dare not hide it, please forgive Linger!!”
The emperor's footsteps stopped.
The words of the past are especially in my ears.
- "If I don't keep my promise, Concubine Ai will paint a flower for me and exchange with me a painting you want."
He staggered a few steps, his eyes darkened and he could barely stand.
"flower… "
"Sure enough... it's a flower..."
There was a sudden pain in his chest, and before he could react, he heard the screams of panic from the people around him.
"His Majesty!!"
The emperor stretched out his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth, only to find that it was blood.
blood
He took two steps forward in a trance, as if he saw the plain-clothed woman standing in front of him and calling him with a smile.
"Yu'er..."
He screamed, his chest hurt again, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood.
It turned out that the one who missed it was me.
