Chapter Eighty-Four: The Man Behind the Scenes
At this time, Xiao Qi no longer had the despair and anger when he first entered the door, and his eyes had returned to black and white, but it was such a condescending Xiao Qi, but the emperor felt a little distressed inexplicably. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He began to think about what he was doing, why couldn't his son tell him if he was just concerned about himself?
Do you really have to wait until you die suddenly to deal him a fatal blow?
Moreover, now that the immortal is willing to tell Qi'er that his body has been tampered with, he should also help himself, right?
The emperor, who had a hint of luck, thought, after all, who in this world doesn't want to live a little longer? What's more, with his age, he is only a year of confusion now.
Thinking of this, the emperor sat upright, looked up at Xiao Qi and said, "Qi'er, listen to me......"
Xiao Qi thought that he was going to lie to himself again, so he interrupted without waiting for him to finish, "I want to listen to the truth!" ”
The emperor smiled and tugged at his hand, and coaxed softly, "Father will never lie to you this time, and he will definitely tell the truth." ”
Xiao Qi withdrew his hand, his face was hidden in the shadow of the bed curtain, and said word by word, "Okay, you say, I'll listen." ”
The Emperor looked up at him to see how he was feeling now.
It's a pity that Xiao Qi has been taught by him since he was a child to be happy and angry, and now he has the heart to hide it, even the emperor can't easily see anything.
The motionless movement of raising his head motionless was too hard, and the emperor really didn't have a conclusion after looking at it for a while, so he gave up, lowered his head and rubbed his somewhat stiff neck.
Xiao Qi watched his movements, walked behind him to take over his movements, and pressed the acupuncture points on his neck.
The emperor narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, did not directly say his condition, and began to talk to Xiao Qi from the beginning.
Since the emperor ascended the throne, the queen has behaved decently, and although the concubine is a little petty, she is also gentle and lovely. But when he didn't know it, the harem had turned the concubine into a poisonous woman with a gentle and lovely skin, but she was actually ruthless.
Although there is only one prince in the harem, Xiao Qi, is not unpregnant, those palace concubines either had an inexplicable miscarriage on the way to pregnancy, or died early after birth, and only Xiao Qi from the queen lived to adulthood.
The people in the harem turned their attention to the queen, thinking that it was the queen's action that led to the scarcity of heirs, but what they didn't think about was how frightened the queen was when she was pregnant for ten months, in order to prevent repeating the mistakes of those palace concubines, she didn't even dare to disclose the news of pregnancy, just because those palace concubines were aborted after the news was revealed.
Maybe those palace concubines also thought about it, but they just blamed the queen for things on the principle that they didn't have and others couldn't have.
No matter how carefully the palace concubines concealed it during pregnancy, their bellies grew day by day, this matter could not be hidden, but once diagnosed, no matter how close those palace concubines were and cautious, they could always be triggered by various accidents, resulting in miscarriages.
When the queen knew that she was pregnant, there were already several fetuses in the palace. In order to keep the child in her womb, she avoided the temple in the name of praying for blessings, and when the emperor went to pick her up, she found an excuse to quarrel with me, and went back to her parents' house directly.
Hearing the news, the palace concubines were overjoyed, and each handed a message to the family for the courtiers to put pressure on the emperor, not wanting the queen to return to the palace.
After all, a woman who returns to Ning for no reason can be abandoned, and although the emperor's woman cannot be abandoned, she can be abolished.
During that time, the former harem was waiting for the emperor to be abolished, and then their family went further.
The emperor went to the empress several times, but each time he was unhappy, and his temper was extremely bad at that time, and it took several important ministers to block the courtiers' mouths, and finally it was over.
Although the emperor didn't know what was going on, the queen had never been so ridiculous since she entered the palace, and she had to set up a new queen after the abolition. Because he was afraid of trouble, the emperor also withstood it.
He waited in the palace day after day, and during this time, another concubine became pregnant. After the queen gave birth to the child, she thought that she could return to the palace, but the news came from the palace that the child of the Venerable had fallen.
The queen was more cautious and did not dare to return to the palace, so she lived outside the palace until Xiao Qi was five years old, for fear of delaying the education of the emperor's heir, so she announced to the world to bring Xiao Qi back to the palace.
But even so, after returning to the palace, the queen did not dare to take care of Xiao Qi and did everything herself. Despite this, Xiao Qi also experienced two accidents in less than a year after returning to the palace.
Once contracted smallpox, the queen worked tirelessly to accompany her day and night, and all the palace maids and eunuchs were driven out.
Another time was when Xiao Qi fell directly into the rose bush in the imperial garden, and when the palace maids helped him up, he found that not far from Xiao Qi, there was a poisonous snake with a rather colorful flower crawling and sticking out its tongue.
The queen was frightened, and her supervision of Xiao Qi became more and more strict, and she didn't even let him leave her sight when he got up early and exercised in the morning.
As Xiao Qi grew up, the mastermind behind the scenes didn't know whether he couldn't find a chance or had given up, and Xiao Qi had no more accidents.
But after the pregnancy of several palace concubines, none of the children could be saved.
The queen was criticized more and more, and the ministers wrote one after another, saying that she was not in charge of the harem effectively, but only the emperor himself knew that the power of the hand behind her was simply too strong, and it was not something that the queen could do at all.
All the emperor's sons except Xiao Qi were wiped out, but none of them showed their feet, and the emperor filtered the harem over and over again, but he still failed to succeed.
Until three years ago, the concubine committed rebellion, and her father was in a high position and held military power.
But until he entered the palace gate, he didn't make a move against the emperor, but just raised the tiger talisman and shouted with a hideous expression.
The emperor shouted and scolded, "Protector! I treat you well, why do you treat me like this? ”
The Protector's eyes were violent, his muscles were bruised, and his fingers holding the tiger talisman were so red that they were almost oozing blood, and he shouted intermittently, "Your Majesty...... Let's go......"
The emperor frowned and looked at him, he really didn't understand what this person meant, he actually let himself go on the way to the palace, and the next moment the expression of the protector was soothed, the smile in his eyes was happy, looking at the emperor's eyes like looking at a little squirrel on the verge of death for others to tease, and said with a smile, "Can you still struggle at this time?" Sure enough, he was loyal. ”
Only then did the emperor realize that his protector, the loyal protector of heaven and earth, seemed to be controlled, and he hurriedly retreated, but he still did not dodge the sword he viciously stabbed at him.
It's just that the consciousness of protecting the country still exists, and he struggled to find a trace of reason at the last moment, and the sword in his hand was a little off, so the emperor spared his life.
The Lord Protector struggled in pain and stabbed his sword into his heart, and knelt down to the emperor before he died.
The Emperor knew that he was apologizing.
After the death of the Protector, the Emperor saw a black mist slowly rising from the top of the Protector's head and rushing towards him, he wanted to dodge but seemed to be completely unable to move as if he was frozen, and fainted at the moment when the black shadow pounced.
At this point, the emperor's voice was already choked.
