"Royal father," after King Xuan returned to the capital, he went straight into the palace before returning to the palace. The emperor didn't make things difficult for him to enter the palace, so he didn't encounter any troubles all the way, but when he got to the imperial study room, he knelt down to pay his respects, but he didn't hear his father's voice, so he looked up suspiciously, but saw his father using Looking at himself with extremely complicated eyes, he couldn't help but froze for a moment.
"Your wings are stiff." The emperor didn't let him stand up, but glared at him and asked, "I've disobeyed my orders time and time again, because I think I'm old and can't control you anymore, right? "
Subconsciously, Wan Lingxuan's body trembled. It was not fear, but the innate fear of the superior person. In his eyes, the father was unattainable. Everything he said They were all right, he couldn't refute, he couldn't resist—however, he completely forgot that the two disobedience of the imperial decree had destroyed the belief in his heart for many years.
"I don't dare," father, do you still dislike yourself so much
"Don't dare? Would you dare?" The emperor glared at his son with his head down, and asked with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "You left the disaster area a long time ago, and you just came back now, what is your intention?"
Did the emperor know? Wan Cheng Lingxuan's heart trembled, and a lot of uneasiness flashed in his eyes, but he dared not admit it, because he was afraid that after his father confessed to himself, he would not even have the chance to leave the palace.
"My son... my son heard that something happened to the second brother, so I have been waiting for the news of the second brother," Wan Qi Lingxuan tried to change the subject, "It's just that the son is puzzled. Didn't the father let the second brother go?" Have you left the frontier? Why is the second brother on the way back to Beijing?" There was a tendency to clear up everything in the words, but he didn't know that there was another thing he wanted to cover up.
Wan Tong Lingxuan didn't know, but because of his few words, a trace of disappointment flashed in the emperor's eyes, and even the anger was gone, but he said coldly: "Get up!" When Wan Cheng Ling Xuan was happy, what he said next completely stunned him. "If you don't want to be impeached, just stay in the palace, and don't leave the palace without my order!"
This... Is this going to put myself under house arrest? This thought flashed through Ling Xuan's mind, and he didn't dare to question him directly, but pretended to miss him and said: "I haven't seen my mother and concubine for a long time...,"
"Your mother and concubine did something wrong and was punished by me not to leave the palace. You can go back. When I can see you, I will naturally see you." Waving his hand, his eyes were indifferent. Like a stranger, people can't help feeling cold all over.
Wan Tong Lingxuan left the palace in a daze, and returned to the palace with a distraught expression on his face, making it impossible to guess what was going on in his heart, but knowing that he was in a bad mood, he dared not Some people stepped forward to ask for bad luck, but Shangguan Yanlan was the only one who stepped forward to appease him without fear.
"My lord came back from the palace, but got scolded by my father?" Shangguan Yanlan asked softly, bringing hot tea up.
Wan Cheng Lingxuan glanced at her, feeling extremely displeased in his heart, but at this moment, there was no one speaking in front of him, and he just shook his head silently without opening his mouth.
As soon as the emperor didn't open his mouth to blame, Shangguan Yanlan raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Since father didn't blame, why should the prince think too much? Who in the whole capital dares to compete with the prince? Then Prince Rui can't even find the body now, and I don't know how long the empress has been crying, the matter of the concubine mother will definitely be resolved, "
She knew that Concubine Liang was the most concerned about Wancheng Lingxuan. Although she didn't like her, in order to please him, she could only try her best to say something nice, so as not to anger him and make her lose her good life.
She can not give up the exclusive favor of Wanqi Lingxuan, but she can't give up the most honorable status for a woman - not for herself, but also for her son, which is her lifelong reliance.
Shangguan Yanlan really knew how to please Wanqi Lingxuan, otherwise, in her capacity, she would have been kicked by Wanqi Lingxuan long ago. What she said hit Wancheng Lingxuan's mind, but she was a little uncertain.
"No matter what the mother and concubine committed, something has happened to Prince Rui now, why does the father still protect the queen so much? Shouldn't the mother and concubine be released long ago?" He was also under house arrest in the palace, and he didn't know. How his uncle was doing made him hesitate, should he wait a little longer, or raise the big issue earlier.
"The queen loses her son and loses her lifelong support. Sadness is always inevitable. The concubine mother was released at this time, but was pushed to the cusp of the storm, and the slightest conflict with the queen was all the concubine's fault. It's better to wait patiently, "Anyway, none of the few princes left by the emperor can compare with King Xuan, and she is bound to win that position.
"Is that so?" Wan Qi Lingxuan thought about it, and felt that what she said made some sense, and the depression in his heart relaxed a little. "Where's the son?"
"It's at the servant girl's side. If the lord wants to see him, he might as well go and have a look. I'm afraid he won't wake up until now." When Shangguan Yanlan mentioned his son, the corner of Shangguan Yanlan's mouth couldn't hold back a smile, knowing that it was to hug Wan Wan. It's the only way for Lingxuan.
The mood is much better, and Wan Qi Lingxuan also has the mind to tease his son. After all, he is the only son, so he will inevitably care about it.
Shi Hongzhen wanted the emperor's actions to stimulate Wanqi Lingxuan, so that Wanqi Lingxuan could be controlled by himself—but, because of Shangguan Yanlan's words, his plan was delayed, and Wanqi Lingxuan hesitated again. Woke up, wanted to wait and say, after all Prince Rui had an accident, the forces in the capital were rarely able to fight against him.
The thought of Wanqi Lingxuan made Shi Hongzhen suffocate, thinking that he took the historians as a target to find out the details of Prince Yong's mansion, and then eradicated Prince Rui, making Wanqi Cheng Yan His whereabouts are unknown, and all obstacles in the way have been swept away for him, but he wants to be King Xuan who obediently obeys the emperor's orders. Isn't that a complete idiot for the Shi family
Faced with such a situation, historians are full of dissatisfaction. After all, after the ambition in their hearts is aroused, they feel that everything belongs to them. Not to mention being used by him.
"Nowadays, the only chance for King Xuan to do something is the good concubine in the palace." Shi Hongzhen's eyes flashed with cruelty, thinking that he didn't want to do this at first, but just in case Ling Xuan didn't get on the road, Then don't blame yourself for being cruel.
"You want to attack Concubine Liang?" The old general was startled, and said angrily, "That's your own sister, how can you be so cruel?"
"Father, those who achieve great things don't stick to small details. If Concubine Liang knows that she can complete the glory of the historian, she should be able to understand!" Shi Honglie thought that he had bowed to his sister for half his life, and finally he could change this situation. How could it be so easy? let go.
"You..." the old general looked at his sons who had been deceived by power, and was at a loss for words for a moment, and he didn't know whether this would be good or bad for the historian.
Start turning your face and denying people now, what about after that
In this way, is the historian really good
"Father, you can't spoil the important affairs of the Shi family because of Concubine Liang alone. Don't you want your sons to be rich and prosperous?" This time, the other sons of the Shi family were standing by Shi Hongzhen's side. Tied together, there was a posture of persecution from his father who refused to agree. General Shi was stunned to see him, unable to utter the last word.
"Fifth brother, father is a sensible person, tell me, what should I do about this matter?" Even if father doesn't agree, he won't take care of it. Compared with the temptation of that seat, a younger sister who was married early and only cared about her son was nothing. Nothing is more important than your own position of power.
Shi Hongzhen suppressed all the disdain and ridicule in the depths of his eyes, looked at the brothers who had changed their faces, and thought that this was how they forced him to give up Shangguanyuan in the first place. Over the years, they didn't even feel that it was them On the contrary, he felt that he didn't marry at the beginning because he was incompetent, and he was humiliated several times, so that he could see these faces clearly.
"Sacrifice what should be sacrificed, and those who achieve great things must lose something," Shi Hongzhen said vaguely, but everyone already understood what he meant.
"Does it have to be like this?" The old general asked a little weakly.
"It has to be like this, so that King Xuan can make up his mind, otherwise the historian will come out of nowhere," Shi Hongzhen's excuse was flawless.
Who would have known that all the chaotic situation in the capital stemmed from a mistake more than 20 years ago.
Even the person involved is dead, but resentment and complaints still exist. When this matter is upright, I don’t know how many people will sigh and sigh, and this helplessness and grief will be even more indignant.
Concubine Liang was under house arrest in her bedroom, but she still knew a little about everything outside, knowing that Prince Rui was missing and the Empress was crying, she was naturally very happy, and on the contrary, she was more willing to see jokes like this.
She was waiting, waiting for herself to surpass the empress, to let the empress humblely kneel in front of her and beg her to let her son go, she was full of expectations, so even if she was under house arrest, she was dressed gorgeously, waiting for her to leave the palace that day.
"Who?" Having been vigilant in the harem for many years, Concubine Liang, who did not know martial arts, quickly sensed something was wrong in the room, and immediately shouted.
"Your Majesty seems to be doing well," said Shi Hongzhen, dressed in black, coming out of the darkness.
Seeing her younger brother, Concubine Liang heaved a sigh of relief, looked at him and said angrily: "He didn't make a sound when he came, did he want to scare me to death?" She had known for a long time that her younger brother could often enter and leave the harem. Things, to no great surprise.
"Father and the elder brothers are very worried about the empress," Shi Hongzhen said in a low voice, without being angry or greeting the well-dressed woman in front of him.
