The Celestial Dynasty has been established for 222 years and is becoming more and more prosperous under the rule of the current Emperor Chu Aoyan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although the information is not up to the road, the policy of providing for the elderly is still well implemented.

Just when the whole country was living and working in peace and contentment, there were also happy events in the palace. After entering the palace, Concubine Jing gave birth to a prince and gave her a name. On the same day, the emperor's sister, the eldest princess of Chu Heyue, also gave birth to a son for the hussar general who was guarding the border pass far away in the sky, and the overjoyed emperor immediately announced an amnesty to the world.

Just as civil and military officials were competing with each other for their ability to sing praises of virtue, an unstoppable flood descended and devastated the coastal areas, and the affected people fled inland one after another. However, the suddenness of the incident, the people who have lived and worked in peace and contentment for a long time have no sense of worry, resulting in the fact that the food stock is far from enough for the refugees to eat, and the people who are hungry and cold even have the tragedy of cannibalism.

Chu Aoyan, who was above the court, would frown when he asked about the situation of the people of Li every day, and he was angry in the face of the disaster relief task that passed the buck to each other, but he was helpless against the several families who were intertwined in private. Until the ethereal secret school monk appeared on the auspicious clouds, bluntly saying that this disaster was a warning from heaven, and there was a disaster star in the palace that caused chaos in the world, and it must be eliminated immediately to keep the world peaceful.

Hearing the words of the secret sect monk, Chu Aoyan immediately had a bad premonition, but in the pleading of the hundred officials who could not kneel, he could only acquiesce to take out all the eight characters of the royal family's survival. When the monk picked out the jade plaque that said Chu Ling's birthday, his face turned gray.

Facing his own sister, who has been dependent on each other since childhood and has experienced countless life and death difficulties, the emperor can't open his mouth no matter what. can only entrust her beloved concubine Concubine Jing to comfort her personally. Concubine Jing had a deep friendship with the eldest princess as early as when she was not married to Chu Aoyan, and she was like a sister.

However, this is just a last resort as the daughter of a big family, in fact, Concubine Jing hates this princess who occupies Chu Aoyan's favor, and dreams of seeing her fall one day. So Concubine Jing deliberately took the six princes who had just completed the moon to visit the eldest princess.

The eldest princess, who had already heard the rumors, waited in a panic, until she saw her best friend getting down from the royal carriage, and hugged her silently, "Jingjing, what should I do?" I've already sent a message to the general! But I don't know if he can make it! ”

When Concubine Jing heard this, she was amused by the innocent and lively eldest princess, and she pretended to be extremely sad on her face, and said timidly: "I don't know if I can catch up, I heard that it will be done in the next two days." ”

"No, no one can touch my child!" The eldest princess's hair was scattered, her expression was in a trance, and her hands pinched into Concubine Jing's jade arms.

"It hurts, it hurts! Sister, you hurt me. Actually, I thought of a solution, but it was very risky, I don't know if you would like to try? ”

"Yes! As long as there is a glimmer of life, you can say it quickly! ”

"Isn't it often said in the drama that the tanuki changes the prince? Can't we find a baby to change the world? ”

The eldest princess, who gradually regained clarity in her eyes, nodded hurriedly, and then asked hesitantly: "Will the imperial brother agree to this method?" ”

"Of course, why would he let me come?"

The eldest princess, who burst into tears and laughed, finally put her mind at ease and invited Concubine Jing to take Chu Ci, who was still in swaddling clothes, to see the sleeping prince. Suppressing the disgust in her heart, Concubine Jing stepped forward and hugged Shizi for a while, and suddenly Xiao Shizi began to cry, implicating Chu Ci and howling together, and when she had a headache, she heard a maid come to report, and the stand-in was ready.

"Quietly, let's go and have a look."

Faced with the sudden invitation, Concubine Jing desperately concealed the smugness in her heart, nodded and followed behind. After careful selection by the two, a baby boy with a birthmark was left. In order to prevent outsiders from seeing the problem, Concubine Jing offered to bring Xiao Shizi back to the palace temporarily and wait for the turmoil to pass.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the sacrifice, the flames were swinging in all directions along the wind, the eldest princess with tears on her face was supported to stand on the high platform, and the monks of the secret school lifted the baby who was still asleep and prepared to send him on his way.

"Stop!" The sudden arrow shot straight at the monk.

"Someone, the hussar general is reversed, take him down quickly." Concubine Jing's father, when the prime minister of Chao Yipin raised his arms, he immediately rushed up from all around. Although he had the momentum of being a husband, he was still defeated in the wheel battle.

"Your Majesty! This is the eldest son of the minister! It's your sister's child, too! The suppressed general roared hoarsely.

"Aiqing, this is also for the sake of the common people in the world! Continue the ceremony! The emperor's face did not change and he gave orders.

Seeing the baby getting closer and closer to the fire, being thrown into it in the midst of all the attention, with the sparks raised, the sharp cry resounded through the high platform, and after a while, the voice fell silent. Just when the ministers were concerned, the monk suddenly stopped and turned around and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive the emperor, there is something to report in the poor way!" ”

"Say it." The emperor, whose heart had been pounding, waved his hand casually to allow it.

"This baby is not a little Shizi, I'm afraid he can't calm the wrath of the sky!"

"What?" "How is that possible?" "What the hell is going on?" Just when the ministers were discussing, the prime minister took the lead in kneeling down and took the lead in shouting: "Weichen begs the emperor to save the people of Li and let the eldest princess hand over the real little prince!" ”

"Wechen begs the emperor!" Like a domino effect, most of the officials who participated in the sacrifice knelt down, and only a few generals who were friendly with the general disappeared to the side.

Just when the emperor was at a loss for what to do, Concubine Jing also knelt down, and said pitifully: "It's all to blame on the concubine, it's my bad idea, please punish Your Majesty." ”

Originally, the people who were all from the prime minister's faction saw this change, and they were a little confused, and when they saw the prime minister kneeling unmoved, they could only tear open their throats and continue to shout: "Weichen begs the emperor!" ”

"In that case, in order to atone for your sins, you will personally send Xiao Shizi on the road." After the emperor said this, the pain in his chest was unstoppable, and it took a few hard beatings to relieve himself. The eldest princess, who had been leaning on the maid and pretending to cry, spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

Concubine Jing walked to the sacrificial platform step by step with Xiao Shizi in her hands with tears on her face, until she walked next to the cultivator, and then asked timidly: "Dare to ask Dao Chief, what should I do next?" ”

"What's next? Of course, you went to die with your own children. Before Concubine Jing came back to her senses, a gust of wind fanned her into the roaring fire with the baby in her arms.

How many people will be awakened by the terrible cry for help in the middle of the night, and the prime minister is even more white-headed overnight, hanging his life every day with rare precious medicinal materials in the world, and finally living until the day when his grandson inherits the throne The belief supports his recovery.

Looking back at the hussar general who had lost his father and daughter, he immediately resigned from all military affairs, and only wanted to take the eldest princess to a remote fief to enjoy her old age in peace. After being rejected three or four times, the eldest princess rushed into the palace like crazy, burned down the hall where Concubine Jing once lived, and said that everyone would pay for their blood debts. The Emperor was forced to allow the two of them to leave the Imperial City.

"General, how do you say my brother will deal with that ** cunning person alone?"

"Heyue, let's give our children to him as the sixth prince, it's enough to be righteous. You might as well worry about our next little son! ”
