Chapter 241: Autumn Grass Favor
"You say the queen?" Gao Heng twisted the corners of his eyebrows when he heard this, and his face sank and said silently in his mouth, "It's the queen again......"
"I think you're like... I didn't look surprised. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Cheng Jinzhi tilted his head and looked at Gao Heng with his eyes wandering, seeing that there was more purity in his eyes than surprise, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Concubine Jing was beaten into the Nine Shadows by her father because she offended the queen in the past, and it is not surprising that the queen wants to kill her. Gao Heng said indifferently, with a little suspicion in the corners of his eyes, "It's strange that after so many years, why did she choose to kill her at this time? ”
"An unscrupulous person like her, once her safety is threatened, of course, she will be wiped out. ”
Cheng Jinzhi said meaningfully, his eyes flashed with inspiration, and his heart was already clear and transparent.
The "time" mentioned by Gao Heng was when he was trapped in the Nine Hidden Platforms.
Empress Zhao is afraid that she is worried that Concubine Jing has different intentions, and will secretly tell Cheng Jinzhi, who is the princess of Yan, the secret in her heart, and take revenge on her by the hand of Gao Heng, so she urgently wants to kill people.
And from Gao Heng's mouth, she also learned about that Jing Concubine Li entered the palace when Gao Heng was five years old.
Although she was born in a small family and her family background is not prominent, she was also favored for a while when she was a concubine, and also gave birth to a prince, that is, Gao Qi, the seventh son of Emperor Zhou, who had just come of age not long ago and was given the title of "King Huai".
Since Concubine Jing entered the Nine Hidden Terraces, Gao Qi was raised in Concubine Zhuang's palace, and it was not until she became an adult that she had her own mansion outside.
However, due to his weak temperament and inaction, and his adoptive mother Concubine Zhuang has been lying on the bed for many years due to physical illness, she has only hung up the false title of concubine, so she is not valued by Emperor Zhou.
And the reason why Jing Concubine fell to this point is because twelve years ago, the queen suddenly sent Jing Concubine to Emperor Zhou for the crime of trying to murder the prince, and most importantly, Jing Concubine herself even confessed, which caused Emperor Zhou Longyan to be furious, and even the cold palace did not want her to live, but imprisoned her for life in Jiuyoutai, separated from her own parents and children, and died tragically in the trapped room today.
And Huaiwang Gaoqi was still young at the time, and he didn't have a deep impression of his mother, and because he had always been scolded as the son of a lowly sinner, he had been living in the shadow of his mother's guilt, so he hated Jing Concubine in his heart, even if he knew that she was locked up in Jiuyoutai, he rarely visited her.
As for whether Jing Concubine really murdered the prince back then, many people actually had reservations in their hearts, and secretly there were different opinions, just because Jing Concubine herself had already confessed her guilt, no one dared to say more for her, so as not to be implicated.
"It seems that Concubine Jing is indeed not lying. ”
Hearing what happened to Jing Concubine, Cheng Jinzhi lowered his eyes and took a deep breath, only to feel that his heart was sour, and his emotions fluctuated slightly.
She must have learned the queen's secret by chance but was discovered by the queen, and the queen used King Huai to coerce her to confess, so she had to admit that she was guilty, so she ruined her youth and her life. ”
"The red face is not old and the old is the first to decide, the most ruthless emperor family, in this deep palace in all dynasties, and Jing Concubine and the seventh brother have the same experience, it is really too numerous to mention. If you had seen too much and become numb, you wouldn't have sighed sadly here. ”
Gao Heng looked up indifferently, the sadness in his eyes flashed, and then he regained his perseverance as iron.
Cheng Jinzhi knew that at this moment, he must have thought of his life experience.
As a prince who was also disliked by Emperor Zhou and was bullied and oppressed in the palace with his mother since he was a child, his situation is actually much more miserable and difficult than that of King Huai, who can always stay in the palace and grow up with his adoptive mother.
"To put it mildly, although I have always hoped that you would replace the crown prince, but... If you really could sit on the throne one day, I don't think I would be so happy, would I?"
Cheng Jinzhi lowered his head and pursed the corners of his mouth, and suddenly felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle in his heart, and a very complicated emotion swelled up.
"Are you afraid that I, like all emperors, will become ruthless?"
Looking at Gao Heng's dark and deep eyes, Cheng Jinzhi stared, and subconsciously grabbed his hand, but he didn't know how to answer.
was silent for a long time, but he still wanted to speak and stopped, and finally simply said a sentence.
"Actually, I think it's good that we're like this, as long as everyone is safe. ”
Gao Heng leaned in and raised his eyebrows: "What you want to say, is that all?"
"That's... And the emperor, isn't he going to marry a lot of wives and have a rich harem?" Cheng Jinzhi pulled the quilt with his hand a little unnaturally, "You said that he spoiled this one today and snubbed that one tomorrow, and there are a bunch of women who are jealous for him, which is also weird." ”
"I think that's what you want to say the most, right?"
Gao Heng looked at Cheng Jinzhi's somewhat aggrieved face, knowing what she was worried about, and couldn't help but laugh.
Gradually, the smile on his lips began to fade, and it was covered with a gloomy haze, both cold and lonely.
"Jin Zhi, many things have never been involuntary. ”
"I know, I know you're not just for yourself. Cheng Jinzhi looked at Gao Heng with a little excitement, "If the crown prince inherits the throne, he and the queen are so ruthless, the first one to eradicate must be the Yan Wangfu." You are here to protect yourself, but also to protect your mother and those you hold dear. ”
"Mother and you are the people I want to protect the most. Gao Heng gently stroked Cheng Jinzhi's delicate face, and there was a trace of earnest expectation flowing in the depths of his eyes, "I only hope that you can be safe and sound, and I will be safe for a lifetime." ”
"Your Highness......"
Cheng Jinzhi affectionately grabbed Gao Heng's hand on his cheek, and just wanted to say something heartfelt, but heard Gao Heng turn his face and say, "As for the problem you are worried about, it is actually not a problem. ”
"What?"
"Those emperors' abundant harems are also for the sake of prolonging the heirs, so as long as we have two more children, this king will definitely agree to spoil you alone. ”
"Eh, why did you suddenly get on the child?"
Cheng Jinzhi saw Gao Heng's look of profound playfulness and sadism, although he felt a little shy in his heart, he still didn't give up on the surface, and said coldly, "Then what if I just don't give birth?
"What do you think?"
Gao Heng said lightly, his face was full of ambiguity, and he suddenly raised his hand to untie the curtain next to the bed, and as the curtain fell gently, the two of them surrounded the fragrant and warm hibiscus tent.
