Fifteenth Mid-Autumn Festival, there is already a winter chill in the wind.
Concubine Jia Jing was half unconscious and half awake with the pain in her stomach and throat.
Indistinctly, a woman with loose hair appeared, and slammed her eyes with her fingers. It was clearly a shadow, but she felt a piercing pain and had to struggle to wake up. The image disappeared, but there was still a deep stabbing pain in his head. The woman's face looked familiar, Concubine Jia Jing thought for a long time before she remembered that it was the fifth prince's mother. She almost forgot what she looked like, she only knew that she was always timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and she didn't enlighten the fifth prince. After she had the fifth prince removed, she hadn't heard about her. Now it seems that she is dead.
Concubine Jia Jing felt that she had seen a ghost, but she thought it would be worthwhile if she could eradicate hidden dangers for the prince. What is so terrible about ghosts... Even though she thought so, she couldn't sleep anymore, and the pain in her chest was unbearable. She could feel the cold wind, her whole body was cold, her arms didn't have the strength to pull up the quilt, and her throat had already lost her voice, so naturally she couldn't call the palace servants to help.
These days, she can often feel blood rushing to her mouth, but because she can't get up, she swallows the blood slowly. She couldn't go on living like this, and she could close her eyes in peace just waiting for the fourth princess to take a look at herself in her wedding dress.
There seemed to be a noise in the corner. Concubine Jia Jing struggled to open her eyes. In the shadows, a beauty in a palace costume slowly walked out and stopped not far from the bed.
This was the first time Concubine Jia Jing saw a ghost when she was fully awake, and she was so startled that her chest hurt so much that she wanted to shout: "Bitch!" But she couldn't make a sound, so she could only forcefully open her mouth a little bit.
Concubine Chen Gui seemed to be in her most beautiful years, her face was as beautiful as a flower, her eyes were gentle and affectionate, and she looked at Concubine Jia Jing with a smile.
"Go away! Get out!" Jia Jingfei shouted silently.
A low voice rang out: "The fourth princess lost her virginity, and the crown prince suggested that she and Fan Beirong, such a brother, are really gratifying."
Concubine Jia Jing felt that a heavy stone hit her chest, and her internal organs, which were already in pain, were crushed into mud. During her brief lucidity, she realized that the voice did not belong to Concubine Chen. She stared hard, but Concubine Chen's phantom disappeared, and there was a black shadow where Concubine Chen appeared just now.
Concubine Jia Jing hadn't sweated for a long time, but at this moment she felt her back was cold. She wanted to see the black shadow clearly, but after a gust of wind, the black shadow disappeared.
A burst of fishy smell surged up, Concubine Jia Jing turned her face while taking advantage of the strength she had gathered just now, and spit out a mouthful of pus and blood. Black, pillowed in his own blood, but did not pass out, in a daze, as if he had returned to his childhood, the small yard where he lived, there was a crabapple tree inside the wall, the crabapple fruit was so sour, it was so sour when he was young I like it, but when she was in the palace, there were begonias in the imperial garden, why didn't she eat them...
When I was ten years old, my elder brother came home from school, and his companions saw him blushing like a red cloth. My elder brother said that he was the most outstanding boy in the school, much better than him...
That little scholar came to the house when he passed the examination as a scholar, did he come to see himself? How old was she then? Thirteen? When he saw himself, he faltered and couldn't speak, how could he have half aura? …
Fourteen years old, begging for art on Qixi Festival, she went to the street to buy begging goods, the traffic jam was crowded, she stopped on the side of the street, away from the crowd, and looked forward... A rich man looked back at her, the man was wearing a golden hair crown, Her slender body was wrapped in brocade embroidered with auspicious clouds, her face was stern, but her eyes were full of spring, she panicked for a moment, blushed, and bowed her head with a smile...
The next day, someone came to the house to inquire about the family situation. It turned out that the son of the rich family turned out to be the prince, and when she reached the age of Ji, he would become the prince! …
She comes from an ordinary family, so she can only be a side concubine. so what? It was far better than being the wife of that little scholar.
On the night of the bridal chamber, the husband told her that when he first met her, she was independent, pure and beautiful, which made his heart flutter...
When she paid her respects to the concubine, she secretly looked at her. The room was full of beauties, and no one could be more beautiful than herself. In this case, to be favored by the crown prince, she should...
God is merciful, she has the eldest son of the prince! How could her child be a bastard? The concubine is just from a high family background, but in terms of appearance and means, how can she compare with herself? The princess did not give birth to a son, so she shouldn't occupy the seat...
The prince was worried that the emperor would not like it, and he was worried day and night. He clearly wanted to do it, but he didn't dare. She saw through his mind, and said that it is up to man to plan and accomplish things, and to arrange things by herself, and see if God allows this to happen. However, if the concubine does not have a son after the matter is completed, he will help him to be righteous, and the crown prince agreed...
She mixed the poison 2 medicine 2 into the sweet bean paste, and made a small plate of bean paste birthday peaches. The poisonous one had a hint of green in the red dots on it. At the emperor's birthday dinner, she served it in person, and after the eunuchs inspected one by one, she handed the plate to the emperor, and in the blink of an eye, the birthday peach hidden in her sleeve was already placed on the plate.
God granted the prince's wish - the emperor ate the birthday peach. Poison 2 Medicine 2 Naturally, the attack will not happen immediately. After a few days, the emperor will start to get sick...
The crown prince ascended the throne, and the princess became the empress. She is a concubine, and her child is the eldest prince. Since he is the eldest prince, how could he not be the prince? The following things are actually easier than the first time, much easier!
The empress dowager liked the queen at that time, so let her die of illness! Queen, sick and dead! The eldest princess, died of illness! …
She succeeded again and again, but she knew in her heart that the emperor had pampered her, otherwise how could she, a new concubine entering the palace, do whatever she wanted in this huge palace? It seems that the emperor really has feelings for him...
After she was finally sealed, her elder brother was also given the title of Marquis of Changle, with countless rewards, and her parents could enjoy the rest of their lives. she breathed a sigh of relief...
But why is it not over yet? How come there are so many sluts who have tried their best to curry favor with the emperor in the harem? ! Don't think that she doesn't know what these people are thinking, that's how she came here at the beginning! It's just that now I have become the party to defend.
She carefully selects a concubine who can conceive, and must not be born in a powerful family, so as not to have the support of her mother's family in the future, which will threaten her child...
The second prince was born extremely intelligent, Concubine Mei had a scholarly background and was knowledgeable and sensible. The emperor once said that she acted dignified and generous, not petty like himself... Then let them all die of illness!
Concubine Jiang is thoughtful, generous, and has a good reputation in the palace... She cannot be kept!
Those disliked concubines died of illness! Their children died of illness! …
She didn't go out of her way, and it couldn't compare to the viciousness of Empress Lu who chopped off Madam Qi's limbs and dug out her nose and eyes. Maybe that's why the emperor didn't stop her...
Only Concubine Chen, who confuses the emperor with the art of seductiveness, makes the emperor send someone to protect her! If the third prince is alive, there is a threat. She earnestly taught the prince not to take it lightly...
Time flies, why is it today? Did you know that the choices you made when you were young and ignorant would end like this? Didn't people say that the harem is like a battlefield, she fights all the way, bloody all the way, she should be a successful general, how did she come to where she is today? Is it because she lost? But in that dream, she was still the queen, wasn't she also lying alone in the palace, waiting to die in agony? Even if he was buried richly after death, what does it have to do with him
What really makes me feel uneasy is that there are two flesh-and-blood sons and daughters, but one loses her virginity and the other is incompetent, and she still wants to send her sister to Beirong... She is not reconciled! What went wrong? …
Early the next morning, both the crown prince and the fourth princess got reports from the palace servants that Concubine Jia Jing vomited several liters of blood during the night, and had already invited the imperial doctor.
The prince hurried to Lenggong. When he got there, the imperial doctor told the prince that Concubine Jia Jing had been bedridden for too long, her internal organs had been exhausted, and her breath was not enough, which was a sign of her impending death. Please ask the prince and the fourth princess to prepare for the funeral.
As soon as the prince entered the door, he saw the fourth princess sitting beside Concubine Jia Jing crying, and when he looked at Concubine Jia Jing again, the prince felt a panic in his heart.
Concubine Jia Jing's face was blue and black, and the area around her eyes was as black as ink. His cheeks were so thin that only bones remained, and his entire face had completely turned into a skull shape.
The prince has never seen a dead person, but the situation of Concubine Jia Jing let him know that the dead person is like this.
The prince kept calling in a low voice: "Mother! Mother! It's the child and the fourth princess. Open your eyes and take a look."
Hearing the prince's voice, Concubine Jia Jing struggled to wake up from the heavy pain. She could no longer see the faces of her son and daughter clearly, so she could only say with her mouth: "Don't... Hefan..."
The fourth princess looked carefully at Concubine Jia Jing's mouth while weeping, and cried, "Mother knows."
As soon as she spoke, Concubine Jia Jing's face darkened again. The prince secretly scolded the fourth princess for being stupid, but now Concubine Jia Jing is obviously not good enough. Thinking of his mother's temperament in the past, the prince turned around and said to the palace people in the room: "Get out!"
When everyone left, the prince gritted his teeth and said: "Mother, Huo Luo, the second son of Tugu Khan, wants to marry the fourth princess. If the younger sister goes, she will be the princess. In the future, maybe her husband will become the king of Beirong! My younger sister will be the king of Beirong!" For the future! Tugu Khan is now unstoppable, and will eventually offend our border, then, mother, every one of the Shen family who offended you will die!"
The fourth princess heard the prince's passionate words, her mother was dying, she could not argue in front of her, she could only cry.
Concubine Jia Jing shouted in her heart: In her dream, the Bei Rong invaded the country, and the four princesses died in the Bei Rong rebellion. Even if it's a dream, it's not my race, its heart must be different, if you find a husband of a different race, and you don't know how to love each other, how can you expect the other party to make you queen? ... But she couldn't make a sound, so she could only use her mouth to say over and over again: No!
The fourth princess wept bitterly. She thought her mother still wanted her to marry into the Marquis of Changle, so she kept opposing He Fan.
The prince didn't want Concubine Jia Jing to worry before she died, so she whispered: "Mother, don't worry, I will avenge you!"
Concubine Jia Jing shook her head vigorously, but on the surface she only moved her head slightly: I don't want any revenge, I just want you to live a safe life...
Seeing the prince winking at her, the fourth princess knew that she had to say a few words to reassure her mother at this time, so she cried and said: "Mother, I... I..." She couldn't say anything about marrying Mr. Jia, only said: "I want to avenge you too!"
The two children said they wanted to "revenge", and Concubine Jia Jing's blood rushed to her mouth again. She couldn't get up, she only opened her mouth slightly, and the blood flowed out of her mouth. The fourth princess screamed in fright, and two imperial doctors ran in I'm busy calling my pulse and wiping the blood of Concubine Jia Jing. Concubine Jia Jing struggled to speak, but she could only spit out blood. The imperial doctor kept saying, "I'm afraid it won't work, this time it really won't work..."
The prince said angrily: "What's wrong?! How dare you say it in front of my concubine?! Get off! Get off, who let you in?!" The two imperial doctors hurriedly exited the door.
Concubine Jia Jing spit out a lot of blood, and suddenly felt relieved. But the moment of slack didn't last long, and she suddenly realized that the fourth princess had been calculated by someone—how many coincidences would there be for a princess who was raised in the deep palace to be disfigured? The prince must have felt the danger, otherwise he would not let the fourth princess and Fan. But this itself is the other party's conspiracy... It's a pity that she doesn't even know who the enemy is! Since the other party can be so concealed and powerful, then the prince... the prince is really in danger!
Her eyes, which had been muddy for a long time, suddenly burst into frightening light. The prince knew that this was what people call a flashback. He cried and pulled Concubine Jia Jing's hand, and said in a low voice, "Mother, I will never do anything wrong again. It will be clean and tidy, leaving no future troubles! I swear, I will definitely ascend the throne!" Ever since he can remember, this is what his mother has told him. She hired the best teacher for him and told him how to deal with the emperor. How many siblings who threatened him were removed for him, and a powerful marriage was arranged... He remembered that his mother repeatedly mentioned that he was not good at work, and now he finally fully understood his mother's painstaking efforts! He wants his mother to leave with peace of mind, and he will definitely fulfill her wish!
The fourth princess also cried: "Mother, I will definitely... help my brother."
Concubine Jia Jing opened her eyes wide and shook her head desperately at the fourth princess and the prince, but in fact she couldn't move her head and neck. She struggled to shout: Be careful! …but she made no sound.
She felt that the surrounding scene gradually faded, and in front of her, there were many shadows she was familiar with—the confidants she thought she would get rid of forever... It turned out that there was not only a battlefield in the harem, but also a vast battlefield on the other side. Only in life, and after death, she prepared herself for such an enemy... Concubine Jia Jing suddenly felt a huge fear, her eyes were so frightened that her eyes were straightened, and the filthy filth spread on the bed...
In the bright sunshine, my father smiled and pasted the couplets. The Jia family girl, who had just learned to read, held a long piece of paper for her father. I can't see clearly, I want to ask my father...
The light in Concubine Jia Jing's eyes faded away, and her eyeballs turned to the direction of the prince's voice. She wriggled her lips and wanted to say: Cultivate goodness and virtue... Convince people with virtue... But there was a click in her throat, and she slowly exhaled her last breath.
The prince and the fourth princess wept loudly until they were hoarse. They cried and had Concubine Jia Jing wiped and combed, and when the palace people carried Concubine Jia Jing away, the two slowly walked out of the cold palace with mutual support.
It was late at night, and both of them were exhausted. When parting, the prince looked at the fourth princess with tears in his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister, my mother was deposed because she failed to attack the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. If my mother was not deposed, she would not die like this! How did you lose your appearance? Lost your body ? You said in front of your mother that you want to avenge your mother, are you sincere?!"
The fourth princess has also cried so much that she feels deeply guilty for not being able to marry into the Changle Hou Mansion according to her mother's wish. Since she said before her mother's bed that she would help her elder brother, she should listen to her elder brother's arrangement at this time, at least she can Avenge my mother!
The fourth princess cried again: "Okay, I... and Fan..."
The prince said with red eyes: "Sister, don't worry, my palace must use the whole family of Zhenbei Hou to sacrifice the mother's dead soul!"
The fourth princess gritted her teeth and said, "There is still Pingyuanhou's Mansion! Don't spare them!"
Thinking of the wealth of the Pingyuanhou Mansion, the prince nodded and said: "I swear to my mother's spirit in heaven that I will never let them have a good end!"
Both of them made up their minds in grief and anger, they must let the blood of the two families who caused their misfortune flow into rivers, so as to calm the hatred in their hearts.
The emperor knew that Concubine Jia Jing was dead, so he just hummed. Many things came to his heart suddenly, but he didn't feel much anymore. Apart from the faint memories, he also felt a sense of relief. Some deadly secrets were buried forever, and there was no more first executor.
It stands to reason that the two should be regarded as partners. Jia Shi is like a brave beast, sweeping away anyone who stands in her way, even the former emperor dared to strike, let alone the empress dowager. He stood aside, since his biological mother had passed away anyway, and let her help sweep away those authority figures, so that he would not have any constraints. Most of those concubines are irrelevant, and I am in the prime of life, so I don't have to worry about not having a prince, let alone, I already have a prince...
In return, he gave Jia the status and fame he aspired to, until she threatened his authority...
The emperor felt that he treated Jia Shi well. After being the empress for so many years, he rewarded her brother. In the end, he still gave her a chance to reset, because she put on airs and didn't want to do it anymore.
The emperor didn't want to face birth, old age, sickness and death, so he never went to see Jia. Now that Jia Shi is dead, the emperor recruited an imperial doctor and asked about Jia Shi's condition.
The four imperial physicians came to see the emperor with their medical records, each feeling uneasy and uneasy.
The emperor flipped through the thick medical records on the case, and heard the imperial doctor talking about the process from illness to critical illness, and suddenly interrupted: "Isn't Concubine Jia Jing poisoned?"
Several imperial doctors were secretly startled, and after a moment's pause, one of the imperial doctors hesitated and said: "Maybe the symptoms at the end are somewhat similar, but Concubine Jia Jing's condition has been involved for many years, and the first symptoms are purely middle-burned. It's just that she was depressed and unable to take care of herself, so she became terminally ill and couldn't be cured."
The emperor continued to look through the medical records in deep thought. The imperial doctors knew that this was a moment of life and death, and they absolutely must not admit that Jia Shi was poisoned! Otherwise, knowing that she was poisoned, but not reporting it, the lives of the entire family would be ruined. They all held their breath, waiting for the emperor's decision.
Finally, the emperor nodded and signaled the imperial doctor to withdraw the medical case. Several people went up to receive the medical case and resigned. After leaving the hall, they looked at each other, feeling like they had escaped death.
The emperor tapped on the desk with his fingers, waited for a while, and asked someone to call for Eunuch Gu.
Not long after, Eunuch Gu walked in, and the emperor saw with satisfaction that there were some black and blue under the eyes of Eunuch Gu.
After Eunuch Gu saluted, the emperor said: "I will give you a few people. You can find a chance to go to Pingyuanhou's mansion. At least you will seriously injure Pingyuanhou. You don't have to kill him, but you want the life of his closest relatives."
Eunuch Gu immediately bowed and said yes, and asked: "When does the emperor want the servants to do it?"
The emperor said: "Don't worry, wait until the New Year's Eve. The New Year's Eve is the time to collect the bills. It's very lively, so it's time to start. He will remember this when he celebrates the New Year in the future." Every festival is a memorial day for relatives.
Eunuch Gu saluted again and left.
After Eunuch Gu left for a long time, the emperor let out a sigh of relief.
Eunuch Sun served the emperor a cup of tea. The emperor picked it up, smelled it, and drank half of the cup slowly.
Just as Eunuch Sun was about to remove the tea, the emperor asked, "Do you think Concubine Jia Jing was poisoned to death?"
Eunuch Sun thought for a while: "Concubine Jia Jing felt a little unwell when she was a queen. At that time, her diet was strictly checked."
The emperor also nodded: "I also thought about this. It would be much easier to poison after arriving in the cold palace, but she was sick before that. Otherwise..."
Eunuch Sun asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty is the Valley of Suspicion...?"
The emperor closed his lips and breathed out with his nose: "They fought fiercely before, if anyone dares to strike, it should be him."
Eunuch Sun said in his heart that the emperor would not stop Jia before his death. It seems that the emperor still wanted Jia to die.
Eunuch Sun asked cautiously: "Your Majesty sent Eunuch Gu to..."
The emperor snorted: "Let them work hard. Pingyuanhou's place is probably not as easy to get in and out of as my place. I gave him medicine twice to see how far he can go. If he can't, replace it with someone else."
Eunuch Gu hid himself at the small window again, and after listening to most of what the emperor and Eunuch Sun had said, he slipped down the high wall and walked away quietly.
Concubine Jia Jing is an abolished concubine and an unfavored concubine without any ceremony. The prince and the fourth princess cry in private, let alone wear mourning in public. Now is the year of famine, don't add more bad luck.
Three days later, Concubine Jia Jing went to the funeral quietly, and there was no such person in the palace since. She was regarded as a waste queen, and she was not buried with many people. In fact, if there is a burial, it will be even more coveted. Maybe the tomb will be dug up within a hundred years.
After the funeral, the crown prince returned to the East Palace, and went into the study room he had been using for discussions with a dull expression. The waiting staff members filed in and stood carefully in front of the prince.
The prince only felt uncomfortable as if his chest was stuffed with cotton wool, there was no room to breathe, and he was extremely irritable. He said coldly: "Recently, what happened to Zhenbeihou's mansion?"
An aide immediately said, "It's the same as before, nothing unusual. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Marquis of Pingyuan sent a carload of mooncakes..."
The prince was furious: "This is called nothing abnormal?! This is Marquis Pingyuan thanking the people of the Marquis of Zhenbei for colluding with him and harming my sister!" He picked up the paper and brush on the desk and threw them at random, Regardless of who it was facing, everyone in the room ran away one after another. Everyone knew that the prince was venting his anger, so they could only bear it.
After the crown prince swept everything on the desk clean and empty-handed, he calmed down a bit, panting and said: "Find someone... find someone... let the second lady of the Shen family leave the mansion... and destroy her too! Broken her body! Can't take advantage of them!" He couldn't wait for the future, and couldn't attack Pingyuanhou, so he turned to Zhenbeihou's mansion and chose an easy strike.
At this time, everyone has no other choice but to agree quickly. Now they only ask for blessings and nothing else. No one dares to say anything against the prince.
The next day, the prince went to court again on time, but he was dressed in lighter colors and said few words. After the court, he left the palace and arrived at Churong's small courtyard.
Churong greeted her in a calm manner, and the prince entered the house as soon as he hugged her.
He usually just sat and drank tea without saying a few words, but now he had a sudden attack, Chu Rong couldn't help but exclaimed. This exclamation made the prince even more insane. He hugged her and went into the room, and went directly to bed 00...
There is no matchmaking engagement, no parental blessing, no witnesses from everyone, no wedding dress, no flowers and candles, no status, not even a concubine... Churong still feels happy.
She entered the palace as a court lady doing rough work, and it was considered to save some rations for the family. In the palace, she washed clothes, dusted and dusted, and never got close to the emperor, princes, concubines and nobles. When it was time for her to leave the palace, a younger sister who lifted the curtain for the prince's chariot thanked her for taking care of her in the past, and heard her lament that the palace didn't know what the emperor's prince looked like in the past ten years, so she temporarily pretended to have a stomachache and asked her to replace him. I stood by the chariot for a while, lifted the curtain, and the chariot retreated as soon as I took a step. The eunuch in charge also knew that this was not a big deal, so he agreed.
Who knew that when she saw that the prince was about to fall, she reached out to help her. The prince asked her what her name was. She was frightened, but in order not to hurt the younger sister, she still said her real name. Fortunately, she left the next day. There shouldn't be any consequences for the palace.
Back to their simple home, parents looked not so happy. It's not a good thing to have one more person to eat. They quickly found a marriage for her, asking her to marry a man in his forties to fill in the house. Churong didn't think it was bad either, women always want to marry. She stayed in the palace for ten years, and finally saw the prince, so close, she could see the wrinkles between the prince's brows, she helped him, and felt that he was actually like a helpless child... These are enough for her to spend the rest of her life Here is a good memory.
But who would have thought that the prince's staff found her home, she didn't hesitate at all, she just waited for her father to ask her, and immediately agreed. She returned to the capital and saw the prince again, it was like a dream, the prince actually liked her! Every time, although they didn't talk much, she could tell that the prince was very happy when he left...
Now, the crown prince wants her! This is consummation! Churong shed tears of satisfaction, and hugged the prince tightly, and the prince could feel the woman's gratitude from the heart. His mother had just passed away, and he couldn't be openly overwhelmed in the harem. Here, he could relax physically and mentally for a moment. The prince sighed, and finally felt that the pain in his heart was less.
Soon, the prince told the emperor that Concubine Jia Jing had agreed to let the fourth princess reconcile Fan before her death.
The emperor was a little surprised that Concubine Jia Jing could do such a decisive thing, but she had the heart to let her daughter marry Fanbang far away? But thinking about Concubine Jia Jing's enthusiasm for the position of queen when she was young, I guess that maybe Concubine Jia Jing wanted the fourth princess to marry her nephew because she had no other choice. Now that she knows that there is a princess of Beirong, she changes idea. He knew that before Concubine Jia Jing died, the prince asked the others to go away and was alone with Concubine Jia Jing. He didn't see Concubine Jia Jing's appearance before she died, so he thought that Concubine Jia Jing really gave the prince her last words in the end.
In order to find out the tone of the fourth princess, the emperor asked people to let the wind out in the palace, saying that he intended to make the fourth princess reconcile Fan. He thought that the fourth princess would come to him and talk about it. After all, this is his first daughter, and if she refuses to obey, it is impossible for him to really force her. But from the beginning to the end, the four princesses did not seek to see her. The emperor didn't know whether he should be relieved that the fourth princess had finally grown up, or he was a little annoyed, thinking that the fourth princess meant that her wings were stiff and she didn't want to beg him anymore. He naturally didn't know that the prince had lied on both sides. The fourth princess thought that the emperor had made a decision earlier, so begging was useless.
The emperor's reply to Beirong Tugu Khan's letter waited for several months before it was sent out, which was full of the pretensions of a big country. The letter of credence drafted by the Ministry of Rites agreed to the request of Bei Rong and Fan, but the words were full of the arrogance and pride of a great country, and it was clearly stated that the four princesses were the emperor's own daughters. Tugu Khan hopes that Tugu Khan will cherish his sincere friendship.
But Beirong's response was very quick. In the late spring and early summer of next year, Huo Luo will marry the fourth princess in the future.
The fourth prince was not surprised at all when he heard that the emperor had given Bei Rong a reply. This matter has already been paved the way, and now it is just a matter of course. Sitting in front of the window, he thought this matter through, and he could only sigh secretly: Why did the prince agree with the fourth princess and Fan, it must be to strike up a conversation with Beirong in the future, but Huo Luo is such a person, the fourth princess will go, and decide Not a good time!
It turned out that the violent beating by the lake had already sealed off any real friendship between Beirong and Nanchao! Seeing the danger that the fourth princess was facing, the fourth prince felt a little uncomfortable. He really wanted to tell the fourth princess not to marry, but unless he told about the violence by the lake, he would definitely not be able to convince the fourth princess. But if he tells about the incident by the lake, it will be a catastrophe... I owe favors to that person in the Zhenbeihou Mansion, who is kind to Su Wanniang, and the mother of the fourth princess poisoned my mother... Isn't he A saint, he has likes and dislikes, it is impossible for him to repay evil with kindness.
The fourth prince sighed again: This person is so scheming, and he is so scheming... Suddenly, a thought flashed through the fourth prince's mind: This person may be a woman!
The fourth prince shook his head repeatedly, as if he wanted to get rid of this idea, but he couldn't ignore this inspiration anyway. Men generally don't calculate people's hearts like this, men don't pay attention to details like this, men don't take care of everything in one move... The fourth prince was both happy and surprised: the happy thing is that if Su Wanniang's master is a woman, then Su Wanniang will Nothing to do with any man. Surprisingly, if the other party is a woman, with such means, it will really make people hard to guard against!
Who could this woman be? Like Marquis Pingyuan, the fourth prince thought all over the people in Marquis Zhenbei's mansion, but never thought of Shen Wen.
Soon, the crown prince suggested to the emperor to reduce the military supplies and military pay to help the victims by taking advantage of the worsening drought in the court hall. Officials of the Lu family responded in groups, praising the prince for his compassion for the victims.
The emperor now indeed has a sense of crisis. Last year, there was still plenty of grain, but this year, the area of the drought-stricken land is getting bigger and bigger. Most of the summer grain and autumn grain have not been harvested. Memorials have been sent from all over the country, stating that the disaster is serious, and they have to continue to open warehouses for relief. Sooner or later, I will sit and eat... The emperor ordered the reduction of military expenditures with the advice of the prince, and used the saved silver to buy food.
But now let's talk about buying grain, it's easier said than done! The price of food has soared a hundred times, and the courtiers whispered, they all inevitably said: Back then, the third prince Zeng Yun stored grain...but the prince...
These discussions naturally made the prince very angry and even more insecure. When his mother left, he felt very bitter. In this world, there is no one who really plans for himself anymore, everything depends on himself. The prince felt very tragic, and secretly clenched his fist: From now on, he will kill more ruthlessly! Not to mention any means! More ruthless! He must achieve his goal and not let his mother die in vain!

Not one month after Concubine Jia Jing's funeral, the fifth princess passed away in the palace.
The fifth princess’s ceremony was as low-key and brief as the fourth princess’s. The fifth princess didn’t invite any women outside the palace. The emperor just sat down at the fifth princess’s ceremony. The old outdated concubine...
No matter how you look at it, the fifth princess’s Jiji ceremony is not enviable, but her Jiji ceremony happened after the death of Concubine Jia Jing. She and the third prince celebrated happily in the sadness of the prince and the fourth princess. This coincidence made the prince and the fourth princess happy. The princess was angry. The fourth princess secretly scolded hundreds of sentences with the word "bitch", while the prince was even more gloomy.
Shen Wen only followed Shen Xiang to send congratulatory stickers to the fifth princess, plus a small jewelry, and didn't pay too much attention to the fifth princess's gift. The gift returned by the fifth princess was very expensive, and Shen Xiang's was a set of red coral hair, which just matched Shen Xiang's usual red dress. Shen Wen's is a girl's pearl headdress, which can be regarded as inheriting her tradition of always giving Shen Wen beads. Both Shen Xiang and Shen Wen were a little embarrassed, and told Yang that they would find a chance to give the fifth princess a big gift next time.
Now Shen Wen finally got used to the days without Zhang Yunzheng, and resumed the quiet life of meditating every night. She is getting older, and her consciousness is getting stronger and stronger. Although she still can't compare with before, her consciousness can at least move small stones out of thin air, and change the frequency of objects in the air. Easy, she felt powerful.
Just in the middle of the night, Shen Wen, who was immersed in nothingness, felt something in his heart and suddenly woke up. She sat for a while longer, confirming her feelings. The night gown was in Su Wanniang's pillow, she didn't want to wake her up, so she got out of bed and put on Su Wanniang's blue-gray short jacket, which was similar to the night gown. She took out her two handkerchiefs, tied them together, covered her face, quietly opened the window, and jumped out of the house.
Just as she noticed, there was a sudden change in the darkness at the corner of the courtyard wall, and a figure left without a sound. Shen Wenzheng felt that his consciousness was successful, and he was naturally bold, chasing the swift black shadow all the way out of the Hou's mansion.
Heiying also chose Mingjing Lake, but what he was looking for was not a waterside, but a forest. In the dark place with mottled shadows, he stopped, and Shen Wen also stopped five steps away from him.
Eunuch Black Shadow Valley turned to look at Shen Wen and said in a low voice: "Who would have thought?"
