Chapter 256: Know
Finally, the day came to enter the palace and face the saint.
Chonghua dressed appropriately and followed Luo Chen into the carriage.
Neither of the two men spoke along the way. Luo Chen didn't give her a thousand instructions as Chonghua expected. This makes Chonghua extremely uncomfortable.
Luo Chen just leaned on the car with his eyes closed, as if he was recuperating.
Inexplicably infected with the atmosphere, Chonghua also began to get nervous.
If she said that she had entered the palace before, she was not nervous. For example, the first time I met Concubine Xian. But when she saw these flowery canaries, she was no longer afraid of their delicate faces.
It's just being deprived of their liberty and doing nothing. Don't be afraid.
But the emperor is different, he has mastered the joys and sorrows of too many people. In this era, the person who can cover the sky with one hand is the emperor.
The emperor summoned Luo Chen and Chonghua in the Qingliang Palace.
Chonghua lowered his head and followed behind Luo Chen, following in unison. Luo Chen walked steadily in front, and she followed him closely in his footsteps.
The palace is cold. The empty hall was as quiet as an ice cellar.
was sighing, Luo Chen in front of him had already taken the lead in kneeling and saluting. Chonghua hurriedly followed Luo Chen and knelt down.
"The sons see their father, and their father is Jin'an." Luo Chen saluted calmly.
Chonghua knelt on the ground in a proper manner: "The concubine sees His Majesty, His Majesty is ten thousand blessings." ”
Luo Chen frowned without a trace, and when he looked up again, he was already stretched.
The Emperor looked with interest at the two men kneeling on the ground. According to Chonghua's identity, he can actually be called his father. But Chonghua used the word majesty.
"Chen's daughter-in-law hasn't been seen for a long time. It is always said that your body is not well-clean, and you don't often come into the palace to walk around. The emperor smiled and gave him a seat.
Chonghua's hairs stood on end. If the emperor spoke with a cold face or majesty, she would still be able to accept it calmly. But what does it mean to play the warmth card this time?
The so-called desire to promote first suppress, there are sweet dates in the front, and there must be no good thing in the back.
The eunuchs below had already brought brocade stools up. Chonghua couldn't stand and think about these things at this time, so he could only sit down against a quarter of the stool and put on a dignified appearance.
The emperor glanced at Chonghua lightly and laughed: "Chen's daughter-in-law is very restrained, it can be seen that Chen'er bullies others a lot on weekdays." ”
Chonghua endured the coldness all over his body, and sat meekly on the stool with his head down.
It's so weird, so weird that she can't even ignore it. Where is this emperor, he is clearly an ordinary old man.
Such a homely posture made Chonghua collapse tightly. I always feel that the mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.
Luo Chen looked at the emperor indifferently: "Father is too worried, she is such a person." ”
The emperor nodded: "I think so, otherwise I wouldn't have retreated in Wen'er's hands." ”
Chonghua chuckled in his heart, and sure enough, he came.
Luo Chen frowned: "What my father means, my sons don't understand." ”
The emperor smiled faintly: "I mean that you are deceiving the king, understand?" ”
Luo Chen got up and knelt on the ground: "Father, forgive sins." ”
The emperor was actually quite satisfied with his son's reaction. But when his eyes swept to Chonghua, he was a little confused.
The little girl sat firmly on the stool, and there was no reaction at all. There was a faint smile on his face. It's as if the person who has just been revealed is not her.
Luo Chen knelt on the ground and lowered his head, but he could still see Chonghua in the afterglow. Then he reached out to pull Chonghua, when can he still sit on the stool so calmly, don't die?
Chonghua was pulled by Luo Chen and staggered to his knees. But the smile on his face remained the same. His expression was much calmer than when he first came in.
"Daughter-in-law Chen, I'm not joking." The smile on the emperor's face grew colder and colder.
Chonghua raised his head with a firm look: "Since Your Majesty knows, please resign from your concubine." ”
Luo Chen twisted his eyebrows, and his backhand was a slap: "How can you speak here." ”
Chonghua was slapped and fell to the ground. He laughed in a low voice: "Paper can't hold the fire, so you don't have to worry about it." Very good. ”
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly: "You don't seem to be afraid at all." ”
Chonghua looked at the emperor lightly and sneered: "I'm afraid, is it useful?" The prince of Tongjiang is not yet the designer, and the whole family of the Ling family died tragically. The entire family of the Jiangnan family died tragically. He can live well and is not afraid of others asking for his life. What am I afraid of? ”
The emperor smiled slightly: "Are you complaining?" ”
Chonghua straightened his clothes and knelt down in a proper manner: "No, the concubine is telling His Majesty, even if the concubine hides her identity, she is still trying to survive." ”
The emperor sneered: "Bullying the monarch is also to live? ”
Chonghua raised his head and looked at the emperor with clear eyes: "The concubine is not a member of the Ling family, how can she bully the king?" ”
The corners of his mouth were oozing blood, and his eyes were as hot as charcoal. Just looked directly at the emperor like that, and refused to move away for a minute.
The emperor looked at Chonghua deeply, and after a while, he smiled slightly: "Yes, as Mu Lao said." Sure enough, it's a heart. ”
Luo Chen clenched his fists tightly, Zhou Wenyuan, if this account is not counted, his whole family will not die well.
"Get up. What to do on your knees. It's as if I had made rules for you. The emperor suddenly relieved himself and smiled and took the teacup that the eunuch had brought him.
Chonghua was stunned, and he was not sure what the emperor's attitude was. Still kneeling there and not daring to move.
Luo Chen lowered his head, his eyebrows tightly furrowed. You don't need to ask to know who stabbed this thing out, but the initiator is not that Zhou Wenyuan!
"Come on, help the second prince's concubine up." There was some impatience in the Emperor's tone.
Before Chonghua could react, a palace maid immediately rushed over and helped Chonghua up and sat on the stool.
"Get up too. Waiting for someone to help you? The Emperor glared angrily at his son, who was kneeling on the ground.
Luo Chen slowly got up, saluted, and sat down on the stool.
The emperor looked at the two people who were not looking good. He smiled: "Chen'er went down to the hand, and she really slapped the side concubine." You have to kneel on the washboard when you go back, right? ”
Chonghua's mind is chaotic at this time, and he can't keep up with the emperor's path at all. Did they come into the palace to see the excitement? You've already poked her hole cards, shouldn't you drag her out and cut her, right?
At that moment, she did feel that something was wrong. But it only took ten minutes for the situation to turn like this. What does that mean exactly?
"Actually, I originally blamed you for bullying the king." The emperor said lightly: "But it doesn't matter what kind of way you come from as a side concubine. She can get you down the mountain and willingly carry the responsibility of now. I can forgive her. ”
Chonghua looked at Luo Chen with wide eyes. How much did the emperor expect from Luo Chen? This is clearly the posture that will not be passed on to others except Luo Chen.
"Chen's daughter-in-law." The emperor looked at Chonghua with a faint look in his eyes: "Do you really think that I don't know about your little tricks?" The reason why I nodded and asked a woman of unknown origin to marry Chen'er, who was the queen's concubine. That's because Mu Lao told me everything. It's very clear. ”
Chonghua was really shocked this time. Mu Lao, you actually sold me a long time ago?! What about sharing honor and disgrace? Just sold?
Luo Chen obviously didn't expect that it would be the veteran Mu who recruited him. And it was recruited before getting married. This is not in line with Mu Lao's personality!
Looking at the stunned expressions of the two cubs, the emperor sighed slowly: "I called you here today for nothing else. ”
raised his hand, and the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids all retreated one after another. The door of the main hall was closed tightly, and the gold-armored guards stood outside the door.
The emperor gave Luo Chen a deep look before continuing: "I, my life is not long in coming. ”
This sentence was like a thunderclap on the ground, which made all Luo Chen's anger thrown out of the clouds at once. Short-lived? The emperor seems to be very healthy, how can he die soon?
"I know you're shocked. I was shocked when I found out. But this is irreparable, and there is no way to change it. The emperor's expression was calm, not at all like a dying man.
"What's the disease?" Chonghua subconsciously asked.
The emperor glanced at her: "It's a lung disease." ”
Chonghua was stunned, tuberculosis? Tuberculosis can indeed kill people in this era. But the emperor didn't seem to have the slightest sign of tuberculosis. If you don't usually cough or cough up blood, how can it be tuberculosis?
"From the moment you were born, I have educated you according to the standards of a good emperor. But I forgot that you are a living person. You will have a mind of your own. Therefore, too much pressure on you will make you neglect to guard against other people's ways. The Emperor's tone was faintly apologetic.
The emperor was indeed very shocked and angry when the incident came out, but after thinking about it calmly, the truth immediately surfaced.
He was angry that Luo Chen didn't resist at all. Without saying a word of justification, he confessed all the charges like that. If it weren't for his selfish intentions, Luo Chen should have been executed. But he knew that it was such a huge pressure that made this originally lively child lose his original vitality.
"You are my son, and my country can only be handed over to you. As a prince, you have sacrificed a lot and given up a lot. But this is also the fate of our family. That's how I came over. The Emperor said slowly.
Chonghua seemed to be standing outside looking at such a different father and son, perhaps this was the first time in their lives that they had a spiritual connection. She just watched it like that, keeping it in her heart. So as not to have no one to accompany Luo Chen when he thinks about it in the future.
The emperor looked at Luo Chen, who had always lowered his head, and sighed: "Daughter-in-law Chen, the name of your side concubine." The side word is exempt. Chen'er, this kid is very stubborn, I'm afraid he can't tolerate others. I already know your details. In the future, it will be up to you to assist Chen'er. ”
Chonghua seemed to have been struck by lightning. Could it be that the emperor called them here today to explain the aftermath?! R1152
