Volume 2 Chapter 72

Without a son, what's the use of the second concubine, what's the use of being rich and prosperous, when her appearance decays and she grows old, who in the palace will remember her. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Concubine Shu's hand gently stroked her stomach, her stomach was empty, and there was a small heartbeat, which made her heart beat in horror.

- What's more, she can't be considered a normal person anymore. I can't serve the emperor, and I don't even have the opportunity to conceive a child.

Dong Jingyi walked in from outside the hall, and when she saw Concubine Shu's face was blue and white, she knew that she had just been angry. He came to the table and poured a glass of water for the lady concubine: "Angry and angry, it's not good for your health." ”

Concubine Shu knocked down the glass of water: "I'm like this now, what's the point of living?" ”

Dong Jingyi looked at her, shook his head, sat down and poured himself a cup of tea: "I have treated many people and been to the battlefield, some people have no hands and feet, but they begged me to save their lives, and some people can't even see with their eyes or hear with their ears, so they grab my clothes and beg me to let him live."

Dong Jingyi paused: "Concubine Niangniang, you can survive, brocade clothes and jade food, position and concubine position, no one in the harem can compare with you except Concubine De, what else are you not satisfied with?" ”

Concubine Shu sat opposite him, laughing and crying, looking like crazy, and the flush on her face became even more bewitching: "I don't have a son, and I'm not a person anymore, what's the use of me?" ”

Dong Jingyi sighed: "Concubine Shuniang, if you want to live, I will treat you, and the price is that you raise Gu for me." He lightly swept her frightened face: "It's all coped, no wonder others." "Only by raising Gu can she live, this is an equivalent transaction.

Dong Jingyi planted a female Gu, the female Gu will eat the organs in the human abdomen, and then secrete a kind of saliva to help the flesh and blood in the human body regenerate, and then eat it, and the human body will not feel pain.

The mother Gu matures after about a year, and will give birth to a pair of male and female Gu and die, this is the reproduction of Gu, which can only be raised by the human body, so it is so expensive. With this pair of male and female Gu, Dong Jingyi was able to find a way to experiment and break the Gu poison in King Xi's body.

These words, naturally, do not need to be said to Concubine Shu.

In the past, when she was a Tang beauty, Dong Jingyi always thought that she was a smart and forbearant woman, but she didn't expect that after giving birth to King Xi and becoming a concubine, the Tang family became more and more uncontrollable.

He looked at her with sarcasm in his eyes: "As for King Xi, it is your own lack of greed, if you hand it over to Concubine De to raise, our cooperation with the Fang family can continue, and there are people in the palace who can shelter you." ”

Now not only has he made enemies, but even King Xi has been snatched away by the concubine.

Yang Zheming had already given up the Fang family and Concubine Shu, all he wanted was the safe birth of King Xi, and it was the same in anyone's hands. Dong Jingyi just felt that Concubine Shu was pitiful and wanted to help her.

Concubine Shu's face was cloudy and sunny, and finally slowly calmed down, she raised her hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her face gradually became full of fighting spirit.

Dong Jingyi looked at her, drank the tea, and sighed, "It's almost dawn." ”

Earlier, the prince was dressed by Liu Zhuo in front of the mirror, and heard Yuan Lie say to him: "Today is the day of the Li family's execution." The crown prince stiffened slightly, frowned, and glanced back at Yuan Lie: "Can you not mention this?" ”

Yang Yu knew that Yuan Lie had put a lot of thought into him, and in order to make the Li family lifeless, he even sacrificed the Liu family, which had been secretly protected by the Yuan family. He already knew that he was wrong, and he really didn't want to listen to Yuan Yeol's nagging in his ear.

Yuan Lie sat at the desk and practiced calligraphy, writing steadily, and his voice was light: "Today, you are in the court, and you need to intercede for the Li family." ”

Yang Yu pushed Liu Zhuo's hand away and walked to Yuan Lie: "You were the one who let Gu leave nothing alone, and now it's you who let Gu interfere, what do you want to do?" ”

Yuan Lie looked up at him: "The Li family's sin can't run away, but Your Majesty's murderous intent is too heavy, involving women and children, coupled with the revelation of a major corruption case, now everyone is like a frightened bird, above the court, too much, I am afraid it will make the situation more turbulent and make people fish in troubled waters." ”

"What's more, once Your Majesty moves the murderous intent, the punishment after that will be even more severe, and it is not the work of Mingjun."

The crown prince Yang Yu leaned on the edge of the table, supported the table with his hand, leaned over slightly, approached Yuan Lie, and his eyes were cold: "Say a thousand ways and ten thousand ways, you want to save the people of the Liu family." ”

The wrath of the Son of Heaven, millions of corpses, once the liquidation begins, it will be difficult to converge. If other officials plead for the Li family, I am afraid that they will all fall into the "Li Party", and if they intercede for the Liu family, they will easily be classified as fellow conspirators of the assassins. The only people who can extinguish His Majesty's anger may be those close to him. Now that Princess An Ning is outside the palace, as the crown prince, as the prince, as the prince, and as the son of man, they are all excellent persuaders.

Only by letting His Majesty quench his anger - the family of the criminal Liu family, who plotted to assassinate King Xi, will make people feel even more extenuating, and they can obtain mercy and not lead to death.

And the crown prince can't directly intercede for the Liu family, otherwise His Majesty will think that the prince has an old relationship with the Liu family and murder his siblings - the situation that Yuan Lie has managed to reverse will also fall short.

Yang Yu stared at Yuan Lie: "You know, it's better for Gu to do nothing and say nothing now." Yuan Lie nodded: "I know." ”

Yuan Lie knew that this move was extremely dangerous, especially since King Xi was currently strictly protected, and His Majesty had already suspected the crown prince. If you are not careful, the prince will be infamous as "vain prince" if he intercedes for the Li family.

And if it succeeds, it will be able to clear the suspicions of the prince in His Majesty's mind.

- Since the prince can intercede for the Li family, it is even more impossible to murder the king of Xi and blame the Li family.

As a child of the Yuan family, he grew up with the prince since he was a child, and Yuan Lie knew that he was a knife given to the prince by the Yuan family, and all the honor and disgrace of the Yuan family were closely related to the prince.

But he has no other way, after all, he can't watch the Liu family end up like this for them, the conditions in the prison of the Criminal Department are difficult, and they are very bearable, and he has already received the news that Liu Duancheng's granddaughter is seriously ill.

He can only gamble, bet that His Majesty still expects faith in the prince, and above the court, he will not lose the face of the prince for this.

The crown prince set a precedent for intercession, and other officials could use this to intercede for the Li family's family, which was also reasonable.

Yuan Lie seemed to be unable to bear the prince's gaze, closed his eyes, lowered his head and continued to practice: "Your Highness, I have never begged you. ”

The prince looked at Yuan Lie, his eyes were obscure, and finally sighed: "That's it, I owe you alone." He straightened up, opened his hand and let Liu Zhuo put on the last prince robe for him, and said in a low voice: "Yuan Lie, Lone has always believed in you, and this time, I will also believe in you once." ”

Yuan Lie sat silently until the prince's guard of honor left, and then stopped writing.

He suddenly smiled lightly, and at this moment, he suddenly wanted to be in the palace and coax His Majesty to make a smile.

There are some things that the prince can't do, but An Ning will definitely be able to do it.
