Only gradually, he vaguely sensed his father's intentions, when his father's eyes were looking at Lao Qi. Always so tender and affectionate, the prince next to him entered the imperial study with fear and trepidation, but Lao Qi was able to sit cross-legged in the imperial study and play chess and drink tea leisurely with his father. The emperor's father crowned the adult princes one after another, but they did not entrust the land for the time being. Letting such a group of princes stay in the capital will make them black as hell. Only the seventh child was born, and he never got involved in it. He shouted and drank in the Imperial Forest Army all day long. He was free and easy, and only in front of Lao Qi would his father have such a loving fatherly face.
Gradually. Zhong Zhiheng began to panic. Zhong Zhiling, who had always been taken care of by him as a baby, has become the number one confidant in his heart, especially in that year. On the thirty-sixth birthday of the Empress Dowager. Xu Siyao entered the palace for the first time. The queen mother took Xu Siyao to sit beside her with one hand, and called Zhong Zhiling to her with the other hand. Then, the pair of jade porcelain dolls looked like two people. He just lowered his head with a blushing face.
What does queen dowager mean? Everything was kept silent, even if Zhong Zhiheng knew that Lao Qi's thoughts were not on that dragon chair, so what? As long as the father and emperor give an imperial decree. He has to enter the East Palace, and if someone who doesn't fight or snatches enters the East Palace, how can he really have no desires? YouQi is full of covetous eyes outside, once he tastes the taste of power, he will naturally never let go.
It was also from that day on, in Zhong Zhiheng's heart, there was one less beloved baby, and one more rival for the throne. He knew that he was really vicious, but so what? Only by standing in the supreme position can he call the wind and call the rain and get what he wants...
Later, he really got it. Although he used the most despicable and shameless way, he still got it in the end.
It's just that the woman who used to always smile at Lao Qiyan, never showed her face to him. No matter how superb the royal painter's painting skills, she couldn't draw her charming smile. There is anger and jealousy in her heart, but she has no regrets, especially at that time when this woman was still pregnant with his flesh and blood, this is enough, in this life, she will be his woman, the mother of his son ,only…
If it had been a full-term son, he would not have agreed to her last request in a fit of anger and delivered the glass of poisoned wine himself.
…
"Siyao, I regret it," Zhong Zhiheng's eyes turned slightly red when he drank the fourth cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine. He rubbed the wine cup in his hand while staring blankly at the falling red on the ground outside the window. For some reason, his nose suddenly became sore, and when he spoke again, his voice was extremely hoarse, "Even if he is not my flesh and blood, I... shouldn't blame you, after all, it was I... who forced him You, Siyao, I really regret it, at that time, why would I personally hand over that glass of poisoned wine to you?"
That's right, facing Siyao who was weak and weak after giving birth, how could he do it
"When I was young, I made a lot of mistakes, the biggest one of which was to comply with your last request, Siyao, why are you so cruel? No matter how much you hate me, why don't you care about Ming Wei's life?" Come down? Siyao, I always thought I was cruel, but I didn't expect you to be more cruel than me," Zhong Zhiheng said again, while reaching out to wipe the wet corners of his eyes, he sighed, "It's all because of old age. How forgetful, but now, when I close my eyes, I can always see your face, but Siyao, why do you refuse to smile at me in your dream? Why do you hate me so much?"
"Long Live Lord," Zhao Ruhai's anxious voice came from outside, "Someone from Changchun Palace came to report that Concubine Hui suddenly felt abdominal pain."
"What's going on?" Zhong Zhiheng frowned suddenly, got off the soft couch, and hurried to the door.
"Long Live Lord, Concubine Hui has been feeling uncomfortable since noon. At first, she thought it was just tiredness during pregnancy, so she didn't pay much attention to it. She just wanted to rest for a while, but at night, her abdominal pain continued." Zhao Ruhai was so busy Opening the umbrella, he bowed and said, "Master Long Live, you should go and have a look. By this time, the head of the Qin court should have arrived at the Changchun Palace."
Zhong Zhiheng's expression turned ugly, and he strode out of the room immediately, Zhao Ruhai quickly followed with his umbrella in hand.
