Chapter 998: The Last Request
In the backyard of the deep palace, the emperor couldn't sleep at night again, Feng Xi stood on the side, silent, and the emperor looked very tired. It's not easy to be an emperor www.biquge.info this is really not easy, he got up in the middle of the night, and he always had bad things, and he was also very depressed. However, if you want to let him continue to sleep now, he really can't sleep.
He only liked one woman in his life, but unfortunately, Hongyan died early, he couldn't see it, and he never dreamed about it. After becoming the emperor, except for the queen and Concubine De, in order to stabilize the country, he had to accept that he did not let the daughters of more ministers enter the palace, even if they entered the palace, most of them were not favored.
The country cannot be controlled by these ministers, so many of the princes who gave birth to princes were the daughters of ministers with low status, or palace maids. For example, the four princes, such as the six princes, they were all born to the palace, and after they gave birth, they were given the position of their biological mother.
The emperor's thinking is very simple, he doesn't want to move the position of the crown prince, and the Chen family will be destroyed before he dies. In the future, as long as the prince is not too wasteful, he can do it well.
As for the rest of the princes, the mother of the second prince and the third prince is strong, the prince will not move easily, and the remaining princes are humble, whether it is the queen or the prince, they will not look at it in their eyes. When the time comes, a few little princes will give them some places, which will be enough for them to live a good life.
Indeed, the queen and the crown prince have never dealt with these little princes, except for the six princes, whose own mother died unfortunately, the other four princes are still doing well.
But where did you think that these princes are not angry, and the second prince and the crown prince are now fighting to the death. As for the third prince, he was born to Han Guifei, and he gave Han Guifei to death, so naturally he can't let the third prince inherit the throne, otherwise the Han family will wait for death. And the four princes should have been the most stable, but where did they think that they would be the biggest masterminds behind the scenes.
Sure enough, he thought it was too good, and he didn't want to repeat the former brothers who fought and killed each other, but people already had their own ideas. Anyway, no matter what, these few who have grown up are not angry, so they will go their own way, I just hope that those little ones will be well educated in the future and can be more competitive.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Feng Xi shouted twice, and the emperor came back to his senses and looked at Feng Xi in a daze.
"Your Majesty, there's movement over there." Feng Xi said this, the emperor nodded, put on a heavy fur cloak, and someone in front of him played a lantern, so the emperor got into a warm sedan chair and went to the depths of the harem. When traveling on a snowy night, the emperor's body is the most important, and the emperor did not alarm the queen mother at all.
"Your Highness, why are you here?" Concubine Chen looked at Gu Lin and asked with a panicked expression, but Gu Lin just glanced at her, opened her mouth, and didn't say anything.
"Your Highness, what's going on? What's going on? Concubine Chen was still asking, but after asking, she felt that something was wrong, Gu Lin's face was lifeless, and she opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound.
"Is there something going on outside?" Concubine Chen is really anxious, she is beautiful, otherwise she would not have been favored by the emperor back then.
Gu Lin still didn't say anything, just looked outside, and sure enough, after a while, he saw someone walking in outside. Concubine Chen saw that it was a group of eunuchs, and she was not her own person.
"You are so bold!" Concubine Chen screamed, at this moment, her body was cold, and she seemed to understand something.
Through the crack in the door, she saw that her own people had been tied. Then, those eunuchs looked at her, but they didn't say anything, and then looked at Gu Lin's state, Concubine Chen suddenly realized that something was wrong, and it was estimated that their secret was known.
Sure enough, with a stick of incense, the emperor came, with a bright yellow dragon robe, with a tired look, but there was no murderous aura. Concubine Chen's eyes rolled, but she didn't say anything.
"Nothing to tell me?" The emperor looked at Concubine Chen and asked, Concubine Chen's demeanor was a little trance, a little nostalgic, and a little crazy.
"The concubine is sorry for the emperor, the concubine has nothing to say." Concubine Chen hardened her heart and said that this path was chosen by herself, and there was no room for turning back.
"Fourth Prince, I'll let him go more decently." The emperor looked at Concubine Chen, he hadn't noticed it for so many years, this woman looked very weak.
"Thank you for your grace." Concubine Chen raised her eyes and looked at the emperor, has she ever been tempted by such an emperor? How could she not be tempted, after all, although the emperor did not give her favor, but gave her more than ten years of stable life, which was unimaginable before, in the face of such a man, how could she not be tempted!
However, the hatred of the royal family with her is too deep, she can't have children for him, otherwise she will be sorry for the dead family, and they are destined to be enemies, so many years, she has never really given up.
Is it weird? Blame! Resentment? Resentful! But she also thought about it a lot and understood a lot, but when she first entered the palace, she had no way out, and since she was pregnant with the fourth prince, she could only move forward.
"Your Majesty, can the concubine ask you for one last thing?" Chen Concubine knelt down and asked.
"You say." Although I didn't want to see Concubine Chen, I also felt uncomfortable, but because I wasn't pampered, I didn't feel angry, but I was a little embarrassed. In fact, the emperor was very curious about why Concubine Chen was like this.
"I beg you, concubines, if there is another thing to raid the family and exterminate the clan in the future, just kill the man, the female dependents are very timid, they have no ability to make trouble, don't sell them, let them live so painfully." If you can't do it, it's better to kill it directly, and it's a hundred. ”
After listening to Concubine Chen's words, the emperor suddenly thought that after the fall of the previous dynasty, the first emperor killed many big families, and all the female dependents of these big families were sold. In fact, the rich people bought it back to support the façade, and there were few good ones.
"You are?" The emperor looked at Concubine Chen suspiciously.
"My grandfather was a young master in the previous dynasty and had a close relationship with the crown prince. So, in our family, all the men were killed and all the women were sold. The people who sold in were not good, and I watched my relatives die in pain. Although I don't like the previous dynasty either, the former emperor is my enemy. Concubine Chen looked at the emperor and said so, so she just likes the emperor and can't tell him. Never tell him.
"I'll think about what you say." The emperor's expression was very calm, Concubine Chen smiled, this is the emperor in her heart, gentle and polite, a good emperor, and a good man.
She was also entangled and uneasy in her heart, after all, her son was not the blood of the royal family. Now, the dust has finally settled on this matter, and she doesn't have to worry about it.
The emperor looked at Gu Lin and knew that this was just a descendant of the Gu family, so he didn't pay attention to it, and the person left. And Chen Concubine and Gu Lin never said a word again, Chen Concubine knew that Gu Lin had never been more than a task for her, she had never been emotional, and she had not even been respectful.
And the tunnel under their bed, if they didn't have this tunnel, they wouldn't even have a child. As for the four princes, although she wants to preserve, she has the ability to extinguish it. And sometimes it's better to die than to be bullied alive, she didn't dare to think about what would happen if the identity of the fourth prince was known.
