Chapter 81: The Sorrowful Prince
[Ran^Text^Library] [ ] It was night, in the splendid palace inside the palace. Emperor Xiao Mohai came with the palace maid and eunuch stepping on the stars and moon, and the master of this splendid palace is the concubine who entered the palace not long ago.
Concubine Duan was named a noble person at first, because of her outstanding appearance and her knowledge of some charms, she fascinated Xiao Mohai so much. And Xiao Mohai has been much refreshed since he took the divine pill offered by Nie Rongze, and he often goes in and out of the harem to enjoy the joy of fish and water with these concubines.
"The emperor has arrived." The duck-like voice of the eunuch Huang Zhong sounded in the Splendid Palace, and the palace maid and eunuch who were hula knelt on the ground, but the concubine did not come out to pick up the driver.
Xiao Mohai couldn't see Concubine Duan's figure and was slightly puzzled, and strode towards the inner hall. Under the dim candlelight, the half-open window blew in the gentle breeze, the blue clouds and water gauze curtains in the room swayed slightly, and the woman's low cry was faintly heard, so desolate.
"What's wrong with Aifei?" Xiao Mohai lifted the curtain and walked in, but saw Concubine Duan crying movingly, sitting on the bed and hiding her tears.
Seeing Xiao Mohai, Concubine Duan hurriedly got up and wanted to kneel down to salute, but was stopped by Xiao Mohai, and asked with concern: "Concubine Ai, why are you crying so sadly?" ”
Concubine Duan raised her head, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes that had not been wiped away. "Your Majesty, the concubine's brother said that he was going to resign and leave. The concubine is the only one of her relatives left, and when she thinks that her brother is leaving, the concubine feels uncomfortable? Concubine Duan said a few lines and tears fell again.
Xiao Mohai looked distressed, lightly tried the tears in the corners of her eyes, and asked with some doubts: "Why did Duanqing suddenly want to resign?" Didn't he stay well in the Hanlin Academy? ”
Xiao Mohai remembered that this person was upright, and he was quite talented and held a position in the Hanlin Academy. Although the official position is not high, it is quite important.
Concubine Duan sighed lightly, her voice was as soft as water, and it was particularly good. "It was smooth sailing for my brother to serve as a waiter in Hanlin, but two days ago, my brother found out that the scholar of Hallym University secretly suppressed the urgent recital. The elder brother had a dispute with the scholar, but he didn't expect the scholar to threaten his brother and ask him to resign and go into hiding, otherwise he would ......"
Xiao Mohai's face was already angry when he heard this, and his voice became more and more intense: "Otherwise, what?" ”
Concubine Duan knelt on the ground, buried her head and replied, "Let my brother's bones be gone." My brother knew that the Hanlin scholar was not a master who could offend, so he sued the concubine and wanted to resign, and asked the emperor to be the master for his brother. ”
Xiao Mohai stood up violently, his face was pale, and he was surrounded by anger. "What a Hanlin Academy, a good scholar, I don't believe he can cover the sky with one hand."
He glanced at Concubine Duan, who was kneeling on the ground, helped her up and comforted: "Don't worry, Concubine Ai, I will definitely give you two an explanation for this matter." ”
He comforted Concubine Duan, and immediately left with Huang Zhong and the others. After returning to the imperial study, Xiao Mohai immediately sent Duan Yannian to inquire about the incident, and Xiao Mohai immediately asked people to take back the letter that was suppressed by the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.
Seeing this, Xiao Mohai was angry, smashed a lot of valuables in the study, and issued a holy decree overnight to arrest the scholar of the Hanlin Academy.
In Fengyi Palace, Xiao Han finally woke up, his illness had gone to half his life, and his whole person had lost a lot of weight. Chu Lingbo breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xiao Han had woken up, and suddenly heard the eunuch outside rumoring that the emperor had arrived, and she hurriedly walked to the palace gate to pick up the driver.
Before she could salute, she heard Xiao Mohai's anger. "Prince, let that brute get out of here."
Chu Lingbo raised his head suddenly, he didn't know what was going on, he knelt on the ground and looked at Xiao Mohai in fear. "Your Majesty, Han'er is still weak when she wakes up now, I don't know what Han'er did to make the emperor so angry?"
Xiao Mohai snorted coldly and threw the piece in front of Chu Lingbo. "Look at the good son you gave birth to, I am really disappointed in him. I don't care what his body is, I want him to get out of here. An angry rebuke shocked the entire Fengyi Palace.
Xiao Han, who had just woken up in the palace, struggled to get up and walked out. Chu Lingbo glanced at Na Shu, her eyes were full of hatred, and she hurriedly raised her head to explain to Xiao Han: "Your Majesty, Han'er must not know about this matter. Please also ask the emperor to take a clear look. ”
Xiao Han walked out and saw his mother kneeling on the ground, he hurriedly went over, snatched the song in Chu Lingbo's hand and looked at it, and when he saw the content on the song, his face suddenly changed, and he knelt and pulled the corner of Xiao Mohai's dragon robe: "Father, the son is wronged, father, the minister really doesn't know about this." ”
Xiao Mohai kicked away Xiao Han and looked at him with some disgust, since he defiled his favorite concubine, he hated this son more and more.
Now that he is conniving at the housekeeper in the mansion to be so blind, he is almost overturned! If it weren't for the fact that King Yin Xiao Jue and the national teacher and others happened to be eating wine in Wangyue Tower that day and found out the mastermind, a housekeeper would dare to turn over such an earth-shattering wave under his nose, which is really the opposite.
"Even if you really don't know, it's because you can't discipline it. A housekeeper also dares to turn the sky upside down, who is his dog guts, come to someone, confine the prince in the prince's mansion, and think about it. The butler of the prince's mansion was handed over to Dali Temple for severe punishment. Xiao Mohai waved his sleeves and was full of majesty.
Xiao Han's face turned pale with fright when he heard that he was going to be grounded in the Prince's Mansion, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Father, don't confine your sons to the Prince's Mansion, the Prince's Mansion is haunted, beg your father to let your sons stay in the palace." ”
As soon as Xiao Mohai heard this, his already angry face exploded even more. "Bastard, how can such a waste afford to be the Jiangshan Sheji of my Zhaoyue Kingdom, I don't think you, the prince, will do it!"
Chu Lingbo on the side was frightened and panicked, and she hurriedly pulled Xiao Han and asked him not to say more. "Your Majesty, the crown prince is just sick and confused for a while. The concubines will discipline the prince well, and ask the emperor to calm his anger. ”
Xiao Mohai's chest rose and fell slightly, glanced at the mother and son on the ground, and said coldly: "The prince is immoral, and the queen is also duty-bound, from today onwards, the queen will stay in Fengyi Palace and think about it, no one is allowed to step into this Fengyi Palace for half a step without my permission." ”
Xiao Mohai put down these words, didn't want to look at them anymore, turned around and left angrily. Only the sad mother and son in Fengyi Palace were left to cry in the night.
The next day, the crown prince was grounded in the prince's mansion, and the news that the queen was grounded in Fengyi Palace came out. And Qiu Gongjin, who heard the news, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Xiao refused to play the prince's immorality, someone in the Hanlin Academy had already sent him the news, it was he who asked him to put the music down, but before he could come up with a solution, this music was known by the emperor It was really hateful.
"Shuo'an, but find out who revealed the news of Song Shu?" Qiu Gongjin asked the people in the room.
Shuo An found out the news at the first time, nodded slightly, and replied: "It's Duan Yannian and Duan Fei." Things flowed out of Concubine Duan's mouth. ”
Qiu Gongjin shook her hands suddenly, this Duan Concubine has been targeting the queen since she entered the palace, he hasn't reported this evil breath yet, she actually came to intervene again, it's really damned! "You go down first, and take care of the prince so that nothing happens to him."
Qiu Gongjin instructed, he only has Xiao Han's flesh and blood, now he can't get close to people, his Qiu family has broken the incense, in case Xiao Han has three long and two short, how can he live the old bones.
Thinking of this sparse Xiao Jue, the hatred in Qiu Gongjin's heart increased a little, if there was no Xiao Jue, then Xiao Mohai would not have the idea of abolishing the prince.
He must not be left to live in the world. He had to get rid of all those who were unfavorable to him, the crown prince and Chu Lingbo one by one.
In King Yin's Mansion, when Xiao Jue heard the news, he just squinted his eyes slightly, and tapped the desk with one hand. Nie Rongze's trick is really good, using the emperor's favorite concubine Duan to uncover this matter.
It is said that Duan Yannian had a dispute with Master Hanlin over this matter? How could such a useless person have the courage to prolong his life? It's clearly a deal between Nie Rongze and Concubine Duan, or maybe this Concubine Duan is also Nie Rongze's person?
Xiao Jue chuckled, rubbed his forehead, and whispered to the door: "Chang Feng." ”
Chang Feng pushed the door in. "What's the matter with the prince?" Chang Feng asked.
Xiao Jue pursed his lips, got up and pushed open the window on the side and said with a smile: "The prince has been hiding in the palace for some time to recuperate, and now that he is well, then our drama will continue, you must know that the purpose of this king is to torture him until he collapses." ”
The cold voice was particularly domineering, and Xiao Jue's sharp eyes were full of color.
Chang Feng raised his eyebrows, smiled slightly, and said, "Yes." Then he turned and walked out.
Xiao Jue looked up at the beautiful scenery outside the window, he was in a good mood, thinking that the prince would be tortured by the female ghost for a while, and the gift to Xi Liangxun was estimated that he should also receive it.
In the palace, Xi Liangxun's face sank to the extreme after receiving the message from Xi Liang, he held the letterhead tightly, and the expression on his face seemed to be angry and helpless.
Behind him, Mo Jiang looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "Wang, what's wrong, but what happened in Kyoto?" "He had rarely seen their king look like this, because he had guessed so much.
Xi Liangxun turned around, looking at the portrait of Gongziqiu on the wall, the lust in his eyes gradually dissipated, leaving only a faint tenderness. "Xiao Jue has caused me some trouble in Xiliang, it seems that we are going to leave Beijing immediately." It was as if he were speaking to the portrait.
Mo Jiang frowned, lowered his head, and sighed slightly. "We've been out for a long time, and it's time to go back. Wang, you're still... Forget about her. ”
Xi Liangxun's eyebrows moved, he withdrew his gaze from the portrait, and turned to look at Mo Jiang. This looking gaze stared at Mo Jiang for a while, and then turned into a long sigh. "Go pack your things, I'll go to the palace immediately to resign, and we'll leave tomorrow."
Mo Jiang bowed, turned around and retreated. In the room, Xi Liangxun's somewhat soft and soft gaze fell on Gongzi Qiu's somewhat similar portrait, and he gently reached out to caress Qiu Shuiman's beautiful eyebrows, as if caressing herself.
"I don't know when we'll see each other this time, do you think of me once in a while?" He whispered softly, but no one answered in the quiet room.
The next day, in King Yin's mansion, the housekeeper delivered a letter to Qiu Shuiman. After Qiushui Man received the letter, he opened it and saw that it was a parting letter from Xi Liangxun to him.
The meaning of the letter was quite complaining, saying that Xiao Jue had made him a big trouble, and he would go back to Xiliang to deal with it, and after the state affairs were stable, he would come to Beijing to drink and talk to her.
Xi Liangxun's letter is written vividly and openly, and there is no sadness of parting in his words, only a faint confession, which is very similar to his style.
This is the most special parting letter Qiu Shuiman has ever received, there are no tears, only laughter. Qiu Shui Man collected the letter, and there was a kind of love in his heart that could not be dissolved.
Among the five sons of the capital, Xiliangxun left, and there are only four people left in the capital at the moment. But I don't know if the five of them still have a return date for reunion?
Just thinking about it, Qiu Shuiman saw Xiao Jue coming over with a smile on his face.
Qiu Shuiman shook his head helplessly, what Xi Liangxun said in his letter was clear, Xiao Jue had found him a big trouble, this man really couldn't be provoked!
