"Heng'er, it's her baby, it's also my baby, when he reaches the end of the year, he will be seven years old, and he has also reached the age of learning how to govern the country, inside and outside the court, everyone is staring at him, this world, deeply respected by the nobles of the family, they have always been prejudiced against Heng'er, above my court, except for the group of generals who followed me from birth to death, I'm afraid no one will want me to pass the world to him......" Xie Ronghua muttered in a low voice, his tone full of helplessness!

"That's why the imperial brother is trying his best to promote the reform of the imperial examination system, and wants to break this situation?" Xie Lingzhen asked in a low voice. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xie Ronghua nodded and said with a wry smile: "Only by allowing talented people from the Han clan to participate in the construction of the empire can we completely break this deadlock, after all, this is not a troubled time, we take over the world by force, but after all, we will rule the world with culture, but I didn't expect that they would be so colluded to stand on Liu Hongye's side, making it difficult for me to move an inch!" “

A sarcastic smile gradually appeared on his face: "But when they repeatedly persuaded me to fill the harem, I figured it out, people are driven by profit, I have to give them a little hope, let them mess up because of their selfish desires, and then they can do what I want to do, you can also see, I just sealed a concubine, and they went from all opposing to supporting the reform of the imperial examination system, in fact, they don't really support me, they just hope that by supporting me, they can increase their daughter's bargaining chips in the harem, After all, the crown prince is undecided, then anyone is possible, I am still young, and all of them still have a chance! “

Xie Lingzhen nodded and said in a low voice: "Brother Chen understands, the imperial brother is planning to use the harem to break the balance of the imperial court. ”

"Actually, there is more than one way, if she is still here, I will not choose this way......" Xie Ronghua muttered in a low voice, suddenly laughed, he looked at Xie Lingzhen, and said: "I have told you so much unconsciously, Lingzhen, you step back first, go to see Heng'er before leaving the palace, after you leave, he will be even more lonely." ”

"Yes, my brother understands!" Xie Lingzhen slowly retreated, and at the moment before exiting the main hall, he saw Xie Ronghua carefully bring the sachet back to his waist, he remembered that Xie Ronghua told him that the sachet was the only thing she had given him, and from now on, there would be no second one.

**************************************

The appearance of Liu Jiangyue made the Yeting Palace chaotic, and the steward Zhou Xiaqing came out in a panic, and said loudly: "The slave maid doesn't know that the mother is coming, and she is not welcomed, and I ask the mother to forgive her sins!" ”

Liu Jiangyue looked at the dilapidated palace room of the Yeting Palace, and said in a low voice: "This palace wants to see the sinner Liu Lingyu!" ”

Zhou Xiaqing was startled, and said in a trembling voice: "Niangniang wants to see her?" Liu Lingyu is a sinner woman that Xie Ronghua confessed to be treated specially, she knows that she and Liu Jiangyue are both members of the Liu family, but she is really afraid that she will see Liu Lingyu's current situation and seek an opportunity to retaliate against her.

Liu Jiangyue saw that she was scared, and comforted her: "Don't worry, it was Your Majesty who agreed to come to see her in this palace, she committed a heinous crime, and Your Majesty has given her a life, no matter what she has become now?" This palace will not blame you. ”

Zhou Xiaqing was relieved when she heard her words, she groveled and said, "In this case, the noble concubine Niangniang, please come with the slave maid." ”

Liu Jiangyue followed her into the Yeting Palace, and the palace maids who were working in the palace saw her, and they all cast curious glances at her, the withered grass in the Yeting Palace was reborn, and it was dilapidated everywhere, not at all like in the palace, she frowned slightly, thinking about how the arrogant eldest lady could adapt to such an environment.

When he walked to the innermost room, a foul smell hit, making people almost nauseous, and Mo Yuan, who followed Liu Jiangyue, covered his mouth and nose tightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why is it so stinky here?" “

"Well, this is a place dedicated to cleaning the night pot in the palace, it is inevitable that there will be a peculiar smell, if the mother is uncomfortable, we will leave this place first, and wait for the slave to call Liu Lingyu out to see the mother!" Zhou Xiaqing whispered.

"No, this palace can bear it." Liu Jiangyue said in a deep voice, pushed open the door in front of her, in front of the mountain of night pots, a half-old woman was there to clean up non-stop, her clothes were ragged, her hair was messy, her hands were as thin as firewood, her face was haggard and ugly, Liu Jiangyue walked towards her step by step, and called in a low voice: "Sister Lingyu!" ”

Liu Lingyu seemed to be greatly frightened, seeing her in front of her in luxurious clothes, she panicked and threw down the night pot in her hand, hugged her head and retreated to hide in the corner, screaming: "I'm not Liu Lingyu, I'm not!" “

As soon as she was emotional, a piercing pain suddenly came from her limbs, which made her unable to help rolling on the ground in pain, and kept praying: "Xie Ronghua, let me go, I know it's wrong, I shouldn't raise a soul devouring Gu, I shouldn't deal with Yan Xining, I'm wrong, you let me go!" ”

"What's the matter with her?" Liu Jiangyue asked Zhou Xiaqing not far away.

Zhou Xiaqing stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has let people plant Gu in her body, that Gu will not kill anyone, but as long as she is emotional, it will make her feel so painful that life is worse than death, as long as her emotions go down, it will not hurt anymore." ”

Liu Jiangyue listened to her words, her heart was cold, Mo Yuan was already stunned by the scene in front of her, Liu Jiangyue glanced at Liu Lingyu, who was still rolling on the ground in pain, and said to Mo Yuan: "Mo Yuan, let's go!" ”

"Niangniang, aren't you talking to her?" Mo Yuan said strangely, didn't she come here just to say a few words to Liu Lingyu?

"There's no need for it!" Liu Jiangyue said and strode away, she still remembered that when she was in Jinling, Liu Lingyu was the only daughter of her uncle, and her uncle was the patriarch, how beautiful she was, and she was the envy of all the young ladies of the Liu family, but now, she has become a half-old ugly woman, doing the most despicable work, enduring the torture of life is worse than death, she must not become like her.

After returning to Zhaoyang Palace, Mo Yuan immediately arranged for Liu Jiangyue to bathe and change clothes, after Liu Jiangyue washed off the smell that should not be on her body, she turned back into a noble and elegant concubine Niangniang, after she drank tea and rinsed her mouth, she remembered the situation she saw today, and asked Mo Yuan: "Mo Yuan, who is Yan Xining?" ”

Mo Yuan was taken aback, and whispered: "Niangniang can't say this name casually in the palace, she is the deceased Concubine Chenniang, now in the palace, Concubine Chen's dormitory Huayang Palace is also a forbidden place in the palace, Niangniang should be careful, don't break in by mistake." ”

"Concubine Chen!" Liu Jiangyue murmured inaudibly, and sighed in her heart: "Sister Lingyu, the eldest uncle raised you too well before, so you would be so stupid, and after becoming an outcast, you would dare to provoke Your Majesty's heart, and you wouldn't even borrow a knife to kill people, no wonder you would get yourself into such a miserable situation!" ”
