42. I don't want to grow up

(Willow Tree, Willow Tree...... How did you come up with a fear of heights?!Titanic...... Thousands of miles away, completely speechless...... But...... Quietly, I really thought about that scene, but the objective conditions are too poor to be realized~~~~)

The first emperor Chengwen, Jing two emperors Fei thin, the capital of the state of Fu, the number of civil battles, almost the years are endless, in order to play the moon and in the west of Wanghu platform from the moon platform, chisel the pond is a thousand feet wide, take the stage to look at the moon, the shadow into the pool, there are moon boats, moon boats, feather boats, farsight boats, etc., can carry hundreds of people, it is to make the palace people take the boat to get the moon shadow, the famous shadow of the pool, also said to look at the toad platform. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This kind of small pond can be seen everywhere in the palace, if it weren't for the fact that the Hongmao boat is really special, even if there is such a beautiful name as "Ying'e" and such an elegant allusion as "playing with the moon", Xijun will not remember it at all.

However, from now on, the place of Ying'e Pond will never be erased in her heart.

Even years later, witnessing more and more brutal killings never gave her a more shocking feeling.

On that day, she stood on the road of the Feige that almost reached into the clouds, reaching out to grab those floating clouds that had never been touched, at that moment, she looked down on the earth, feeling the thrill of taking off, and then, she heard Liu Ai's happy inquiry, and when she looked back excitedly, Ying'e Chi came into view.

-- Several soap-clothed eunuchs slowly unfolded a bundle of silk silk soaked in water, and at the end of it, a crimson figure rolled into the water...... Motionless......

Liu Yi had pressed the terrified little girl to the pine floor of the Flying Pavilion, covering her mouth with his right hand, and hiding the figures of the two with the low wall of the pavilion made of Mulan.

The seven-year-old queen only understands life and death, but the ten-year-old emperor's great-grandson has seen more darkness.

Yeting ......

Beneath the extravagance and glamour of the flowers, there is all the darkness of filth...... Everything that will never see the light of day is the foundation of the court.

Conspiracy, frame-up...... If you want to survive in the court, even the humblest slave must know those methods......

Liu's status is the only exception.

In other words, the children of the clan who lived in the court did not need those means.

They had nothing but clan affiliation, and were only in the court because of the benevolence of the Son of Heaven and their own bloodline...... Alive......

Just alive...... Just to live in the court......

- Even slaves and maids, when their youth is gone, will get a home, and they will be able to continue their bloodline, but they may never have this opportunity!

- Although there is no explicit prohibition on marriage, who would want to marry them as "sinners"?

Perhaps, one day, when the Son of Heaven needs to take advantage of their clan identity, they ...... No...... It is generally "them" who will get a more glorious status and get out of the court...... also out of Chang'an...... Out of the Han ......

They don't need that kind of means, because they have nothing to do with everyone in the court, and that's why they're going to see more......

The Imperial Court Office and the Eunuch Bureau, the two Imperial Decrees with which Liu Ai was most familiar, were the two Imperial Decrees that had the most exposure to bloody conspiracies.

-- Competition, jealousy, hatred, and ...... The darkness of the human heart is more than any imagination can be imagined......

Therefore, Liu Yi already knew very well what was going on there, and he knew even more that anyone who dealt with that kind of thing would not allow any accidents to happen!

――If they are discovered, even if Xijun is the queen, what will happen to those people when there are only the two of them?

Liu was already shuddering.

Therefore, even though he felt that his palm was bitten by Xijun and the hot liquid flowed through the back of his hand, he didn't let go of his hand, even if he saw those people leaving from the slit, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't let go of his hand.

"Xijun, let go!" whispered in the girl's ear, Liu Yi tried his best to soften his tone, and tried his best to suppress the urge to frown.

The girl looked at him in a daze, and it took a while to react, and she immediately let go, she frowned, her hand was still on her mouth, and she whispered: "I'll let go, but you must not make a sound!" Liu Yi had already explained seriously.

The young queen nodded vigorously, her eyes full of unabated horror.

Liu Yi had withdrawn his hand, and then pulled the girl up, and sat down against the low wooden fence, his eyes pressed to the slit and observed vigilantly.

Xijun sat on the pavilion road, his arms hugged his knees hard, his body was still trembling, and he whispered in a low voice for a while: "That's Zhou Yang's eight sons......"

"I know!" Liu Ai already likes to run around the most, there are Zhang He and Zhang Anshi who are openly and secretly protecting, he has already been to all the places he can go, and of course Jianzhang Palace has not fallen, where will he not know the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven?

“…… Changyu said that she already had a child in her belly......" Xijun trembled and whispered.

Liu Yi frowned and reached out to take the girl to his side, but because he had to pay attention to the surrounding environment, he couldn't care about comforting the young girl.

Counting the heartbeats, estimating that nearly three quarters of an hour had passed, and confirming that those people had really left, Liu Ying had already said to the girl: "We must go back!"

Xijun had no claim at all, and nodded when he heard his words, but he couldn't stand up.

Liu Yi didn't dare to delay any longer, so he stood up with her, bent on his waist, and led her along the flying pavilion with half hugging and half mopping.

It wasn't until he entered the dormitory where Xijun was resting that Liu Ai completely put down his heart, and as soon as his legs were weak, he fell to his knees.

-- He knows a lot about this kind of thing, but he really experienced it and saw it with his own eyes...... It's also the first time!

Xijun was standing only by his support, so he naturally fell down on his knees.

"Nakanomiya...... Great-grandson?"

Yihua's voice suddenly sounded, making the frightened two children almost scream, but because they were really exhausted, they didn't really shout.

Seeing the looks of the two, Yihua was also surprised, and didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly carried the queen to the bed in the tent, turned around and wanted to bring Liu Ai over again, but found that the emperor's great-grandson with a pale face had staggered over.

There was no fourth person in the dormitory, in fact, except for Yihua, who habitually came in to see how the queen was resting, everyone else was resting.

"What's going on?" asked the Empress Yihuahui in a low voice as she took off her coat and served her to lie down.

Hearing Changyu's question, Xijun immediately trembled all over, his eyes were full of horror, and he stepped forward to hold her hand, sat down on the edge of the bed, and answered this question for the queen: "We are on the flying pavilion...... See...... Zhou Yang's eighth son died...... ...... in the Shadow Pool"

Yi Hua couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, his face immediately turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Has anyone seen you?"

"Shouldn't be!" Liu Yi had already thought of Fang Cai's situation, and was also deeply frightened, so it was easy to suppress the urge to tremble, and added: "If we see it, we shouldn't be able to come back......

Yi Hua nodded, glanced at the queen whose face was already a little sallow, and quickly thought about it in his heart, and then raised his eyes and said to Liu Aiji: "Great-grandson, please retreat outside the tent!"

Liu Yi didn't know what she was going to do, but he trusted this Changyu very much, and immediately nodded, but unexpectedly, Xijun grabbed his hand and refused to let go.

"Xijun...... Changyu must have a plan, you let go first. Liu Yi had coaxed her softly.

"Don't ...... I'm scared ......," Xijun shook his head with a shudder.

- Only by seeing him by his side can she feel a little relieved.

- After all, Fang Cai, only he is by his side!

Liu Yi looked at Yihua helplessly, but unexpectedly, the Changyu did not insist anymore, but reached out to touch the queen's forehead, and then whispered to himself: "Forget it...... It doesn't have to be ......."

Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand what she meant, but after a while, he felt that Xijun's palms were getting hot, and he couldn't help but be shocked - she was feverish!

Yihua very resolutely tore away the clasped hands of the two, pushed Liu Ai behind the tent, and explained in a low voice: "Don't move, the court order will definitely come, you leave with him." ”

Liu Yi had only time to nod his head, and his vision was blocked by the embroidered tent, and when he heard Yi Hua shouting in a panicked tone: "Zhonggong is sick! Summoning the imperial doctor! Wake up!" He immediately lay down and hid himself.

-- Fatigue due to playfulness, and the wind, the young queen had a high fever for three days, and the attendants were flogged fifty times for poor supervision.

This punishment was not heavy, because the young queen insisted on refusing to remove the attendants even when she was ill, and because the Shaofu was more concerned about another incident that caused the wrath of the Son of Heaven.

-- The pregnant harem died unexpectedly.

The Son of Heaven was furious, the eldest princess was furious, and the palace attendants and eunuchs around Zhou Yang's eight sons were all tortured in the prison room, but the results still all pointed to the most unlikely possibility - the pregnant Son of Heaven's favorite concubine accidentally drowned herself after repelling all the attendants.

It doesn't matter if it was an accident caused by the eighth son himself, the key is what it means......

In the court, everyone speculated carefully...... No one really cared if the young woman had a tragic fate......

"This is the court...... Zhonggong will encounter more things in the future, will he get sick every time?"

Helping the queen to sit up, erecting two cushions for her to lean comfortably, Yihua presented the ear cup containing the medicine, and watched the queen drink it all in one gulp, before she was softly relieved, but she did not say hypocritical words.

Xijun's brows were always deeply locked, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard her words: "...... This is the court ......"

Yihua took the vermilion lacquer ear cup away from the queen's hand, and gently stroked the messy hair on her forehead with the other hand: "Yes...... Middle Palace, here, human life is no more precious than this ear cup......"

The ear cups were slowly rested on the long table next to the bed, and in that row of eating utensils, they were inconspicuous.

Xijun was scared, but he didn't cry or exclaim, but looked at Yihua tremblingly.

"Of course the queen is different. Yi Hua whispered softly, "On par with the Son of Heaven, the Middle Palace is the master of this court, different from others. ”

Xijun vaguely felt that what Yihua wanted to say had not yet been said, so he listened more seriously.

"Even the middle palace can't protect everyone...... Yihua chuckled, "but if you just don't want to be like Zhou Yang one day...... Zhonggong only needs to be the most honorable woman of the Han Dynasty forever!"

"Forever ......," Xijun muttered softly, repeating Changyu's assertion, thinking seriously about his future for the first time.

Yihua quietly retreated, leaving the silence of the room to the girl who could no longer cry easily.

――The Shangguan family exchanged a life for a queen who was no longer innocent......

Yihua sighed silently, she didn't know whether to tell the young queen or not—here, the lives of the next people are not precious, and whether they are up or down, everyone's thoughts don't matter......

- The Son of Heaven ...... The queen is no exception......

Looking at the girl in deep thought, Yihua finally put aside the hesitation.

――I don't think so......

――Whether you want to or not, the young queen has grown up. (To be continued.) )
