In the spring of the seventeenth year of Jianwu (41 AD), in the first month, Liu Liang, the filial prince of Zhao, died. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt the beginning, the two grandsons of the Huaixian surname Li Zichun killed people, and the county of Huaixian County ordered Zhao to investigate the murderer deeply, and the two grandsons committed suicide, and Li Zichun was arrested and imprisoned. Dozens of relatives of the emperor in Luoyang interceded for Li Zichun, but Zhao Xiaogong never agreed. When Liu Liang was seriously ill, Liu Xiu visited him at his home and asked him if he had anything to say. Liu Liang said: "I have always had a deep relationship with Li Zichun. Now that he has committed a crime, Huaixian County Commander Zhao wants to kill him, and I am willing to beg to spare his life. Liu Xiu said: "Officials respect the law and must not distort it." Please say what he wants. Liu Liang stopped talking. It was not until now, after Liu Liang's death, that Liu Xiu remembered Liu Liang, pardoned and released Li Zichun, and promoted Zhao to be the Taishou of the Plains.

Liu Liang's death opened the prelude to the ups and downs of the seventeenth year of Jianwu.

Yin Lihua didn't feel too much sadness about Liu Liang's death, but there was one thing that deeply hurt her - that is, the truth about the untimely death of Liu Heng, the prince of Linhuai.

Yin Lihua has not done anything to Liu Fu for more than a year, not because she is benevolent and soft-hearted, but because after that, Dendrobium told her: Liu Heng's main cause of death was not because of the poison of arsenic, arsenic had not yet poisoned Liu Heng was already famous, and Liu Heng's real cause of death was the recurrence of heart disease. So, Yin Lihua followed what Mu Shizhen said, and investigated privately for more than a year, checking and checking, and finally she had to accept a fact that she couldn't believe, and this fact made her unable to face Liu Jing, so as not to make people suspicious, she refused to see all her children. happened to have Liu Liang's death as a cover, so Yin Lihua's abnormality was not suspicious.

Mama Liu avoided Yin Lihua for many days from Liu Yiwang, Liu Yang and Liu Cang and other children, knowing that she couldn't go on like this for a long time, so she deliberately came to Yin Lihua and persuaded: "Noble, the matter has come to this point, why bother to make extraneous branches and give others a chance to take advantage of." ”

Yin Lihua didn't understand this truth, but she felt that she really couldn't face Liu Jing, she felt very uncomfortable, she asked Mama Liu with tears: "Why does the sky want to treat me like this, even if I do something hurtful to heaven and reason, retribution should also fall on me, why take away Heng'er, and Jing'er him..."

Mama Liu walked over and gently patted Yin Lihua's back to comfort her, "Nobleman, the eighth prince was originally a good intention, but what did it turn out like this, everything has its own providence, and you can't be especially human." The ninth prince has gone, Niangniang doesn't want to lose the eighth prince again, let this secret rot in my heart. ”

Because Liu Heng suffers from heart disease, he not only gets the attention and doting of Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua, but also gets the care of Liu Yang, Liu Yiwang and Sister Wang. That day, Liu Jing got Hu Cake, he knew that Yin Lihua and Liu Mama and others always did not allow Liu Heng to eat a lot of delicious things, but every time he could always see Liu Heng looking at those delicious food The desire was so obvious, every time at this time, Liu Jing felt uncomfortable, but Yin Lihua said that it was for Brother Wang's good, so he had to resist the urge to share it with Liu Heng, but that time Liu Heng personally begged him to ask for it in private, and he saw that Hu Cake was really delicious, and he thought about it again, felt that it should be okay for Liu Heng to eat a little, so he secretly gave Liu Heng a piece. He originally wanted to give Liu Heng a little bit to eat, but Liu Heng couldn't stop tasting it, so he ate all the pieces. At that time, Liu Heng was okay after eating, and Liu Jing was relieved and went back with peace of mind. In fact, he didn't know that his Hu cake was too salty for Liu Heng, so that Liu Heng died due to a recurrence of heart disease.

Yin Lihua has been smart since she was a child, she knows how to be good, as Mama Liu said, Liu Jing is just a good intention, who expected it to be such a result, now that she has lost Liu Heng, she can't lose Liu Jing anymore. So, on the second day, she saw Liu Yiwang, Liu Yang and Liu Cang and other children as usual, although she was always a little uncomfortable in her heart when facing Liu Jing, but she covered it up well. Yin Lihua thought that only by keeping this unspeakable secret could she maintain a good relationship with Liu Jing, but unfortunately she ignored Liu Jing's love for Liu Heng.

Since Liu Jing passed away, Liu Jing originally pretended to be calm, but now he has really become worthy of the name and has become taciturn. Because at that time, he obviously heard Yin Lihua say that Liu Heng's death was done by Liu Fu, although Yin Lihua promised that they would avenge Liu Heng, but now that more than a year has passed, Yin Lihua still has no intention of taking revenge on Liu Fu for Liu Heng, he knows in his heart that as long as Yin Lihua wants to do something, there is nothing that cannot be done, in his opinion, Yin Lihua's inaction is just that she didn't take Liu Heng's death to heart at all, how much he loved Liu Heng in the past, and now he dislikes Yin Lihua. However, his dislike for Yin Lihua is all concealed in his indifference. As we all know, since Liu Heng's untimely death, Liu Jing has become taciturn, and he has become much indifferent to people and everything.

As Liu Jing's mother-in-law, Ouyang Yulan vaguely guessed Liu Jing's vague thoughts, and for this reason, she said to Liu Jing as if inadvertently: "In the world, it is better to ask for others than for yourself." ”

When Liu Jing heard this, he glanced at Ouyang Yulan meaninglessly, and then pondered to himself. Since then, Liu Jing began to actively drill camps, faintly trying to fight against Liu Qiang and Liu Yang.

Yin Lihua saw that Liu Jing was not right, and wanted to have a good talk with Liu Jing, but Liu Jing either avoided talking about it, or avoided it. Yin Lihua found nothing in her private investigation, and she couldn't help but be distressed by this.

Soon after, Liu Yang was reported by the minister to force Guo Shengtong to resign from the throne in order to seize the position of the prince, and this performance was suppressed by Liu Xiu, and there was no rumor, and Yin Lihua learned about it because of Wanfu's relationship, but fortunately, Liu Yang happened to come to greet her at this time, and she hurriedly told her about it. When Liu Yang learned which minister played it, he knew in his heart who instructed it.

Yin Lihua saw that Liu Yang looked clear in her heart, so she asked Liu Yang: "Do you know who instructed this matter?" ”

Liu Yang hesitated for a moment, and replied succinctly: "The person who played is the person who has recently been contacted by the Eighth Prince's brother. ”

Yin Lihua thought it was Guo Jing or Liu Qiang's handwriting, but she never expected it to be Liu Jing, Yin Lihua was really angry and anxious, she immediately asked people to summon Liu Jing. Just when she was still worried that Liu Jing would not come, Liu Jing came. As soon as Yin Lihua saw Liu Jing, she looked at Liu Jing, who seemed to be a complete stranger, and she asked Liu Jing quite sadly: "But you ordered someone to play and slander your fourth brother?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Yin Lihua with a little blankness, then glanced at Liu Yang, and after thinking about it, he replied: "Whether the concubine believes it or not, Erchen didn't act like this. ”

Yin Lihua couldn't confess to Liu Jing for a while, and when she saw Liu Jing denying her, she didn't know how to question.

Liu Yang, who was on the side, asked Liu Jing at this time: "What is the intention of the Nine Princes?" Liu Yang still doesn't understand why Liu Jing is so abnormal.

Liu Jing struggled for this for a while, before he raised his head and said to Liu Yang: "Brother Wang, Brother Wang has no intention of competing with you, but Brother Wang has something that Brother Wang wants to do, please forgive Brother Wang." ”

Yin Lihua was puzzled, "Jing'er, what are you so unspeakable, can't you even say it to your mother?" If you have any needs, just tell your mother, and she will try her best to meet you no matter what. ”

Liu Jing listened to what Yin Lihua said, and after sneering in his heart, he replied indifferently: "The concubine is a noble person, and the trivial matters of the sons and daughters will not bother the concubines, and the sons are already adults, which is enough to solve them by themselves." If there is nothing important, the son will retire first. Seeing that Yin Lihua didn't react, Quan should acquiesce, and then bowed and retired.

Yin Lihua looked at Liu Jing, who was far away from her, and her heart was full of powerlessness.

Liu Yang could see Yin Lihua's sadness, but he really didn't know how to comfort Yin Lihua. (To be continued.) )
