Chapter 51: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore

Empress Chen continued: "However, this qiē has been destroyed. was ruined by a woman brought by the emperor occasionally. That woman was so beautiful that I was ashamed of myself as I had always been conceited. ”

The emperor knew that this was about the Ying clan. He wanted to say something, but he didn't.

Empress Chen's face was full of hatred: "This Ying clan, since entering the East Palace, has occupied all the attention of the emperor. The emperor no longer looks at me, nor does he look at all the concubines in the harem. The crown princess Li has also become an ornament. Although at that time, the crown princess Li and Bai Liangdi were pregnant, the emperor still didn't pay attention to them. In the eyes of the emperor, there is only the winning family in his heart. ”

The emperor was silent, at this time, he had already seen that the queen today was different from normal days, although he was a little drowsy, but he still understood, he was afraid that something was going to happen today.

Empress Chen continued: "This gave Wang Liangdi that slut a chance, she did it, first the crown princess Li, then Bai Liangdi, and then my emperor." Crown Princess Li, the emperor has always treated her well. However, I know that the emperor actually hates the Li family very much in his heart, because the Li family is too pressing, and the Li family relies on being the emperor's mother's family, doing whatever he wants and controlling the government. Although Empress Dowager Li is the emperor's biological mother, she has not really taken care of the emperor. The emperor grew up under the care of a nursing mother. ”

The Emperor remained silent.

Empress Chen said: "The emperor has no friendship with the Li family at all, but has a deep affection for the nursing mare's family. It's a pity that these emperors have always been very hidden. Outsiders only regard the emperor as the emperor and have a good relationship with his mother's family, Li Jiaen, in fact. At that time, the emperor had already begun to deal with the Li family. It's a pity that the Li family was already in a big disaster at that time, and they didn't know it, and they always felt that as long as the emperor ascended the throne, it would be the world of the Li family. ”

Sure enough, later, the emperor ascended the throne, the Li family was unlucky, and the power in the court was cleared, although it still retained its strength in the clan land. But in recent years, it has been the Chen family. The Wang family, the Bai family surpassed. And what about the Ma family? Although it is just a common people's family, its strength in the court is getting bigger and bigger, and now. The prince Liangdi, who was born in the Ma family, has been able to match the prince Liangdi, who was born in the Bai family. The crown princess, who was born as the daughter of the Chen family, competed. At that time. Can anyone think of the prosperity of the Ma family today? I can think of it. Therefore, at that time, I became friends with the Ma family, who was still a common man. And. Because I am the daughter of the Chen family, I am not afraid of the Li family, and I dare to join hands with the emperor to deal with the Li family. ”

Speaking of this, Empress Chen laughed self-deprecatingly: "Sometimes, if you are too smart, you are stupid." I'm just too smart, and I've always regarded the crown princess Li as an opponent. Although she is my cousin's daughter, and my cousin, I hate her because she occupies the position of the main room. There is also Bai Liangdi, she is also pregnant, and the doctor said that it may be a boy. The emperor doesn't have to look at me like that. Many years ago, the Tai Hospital was used by me. ”

The emperor's eyes were full of shock. But he was patient, and he also wanted to hear what Empress Chen had to say.

Empress Chen sneered and said, "Wang Liangdi attacked the crown princess, and I attacked Bai Liangdi." As a result, the crown princess Li died, and the fetus in her womb also died. Bai Liangdi also died, and the prince in her womb also died. Very well, my emperor has no competition. However, one of the people I neglected the most also did it to my emperor. That person is the Queen Mother Li, by the way, at that time, she was not the Queen Mother, she was Queen Li. ”

Speaking of this, Empress Chen's eyes were full of anger: "Empress Li is afraid that I will take away her niece's position as the future empress, and I am afraid that at that time, the Chen family, which is in its heyday, will replace the Li family." So, she did something to my emperor. She is really an old witch, how can she do it to my emperor? This is her eldest grandson? My emperor also has her blood in his blood? ”

The emperor frowned, thinking of his mother, who was indeed a cold-blooded person, for the sake of power, regardless of qiē, and didn't even care much about his son. He is just a tool for her harem to compete for favor, not her son. Therefore, he later treated the Empress Dowager Li mercilessly, and he also treated his mother's Li family mercilessly.

Empress Chen said: "Do you know how much I hated at that time? Once, I thought I had a qiē, I had a husband who loved me, I had the illustrious power of my mother's family, I had a smart, beautiful and well-behaved daughter, and I had your eldest son, a lovely prince. I will be the queen in the future, and I will be the queen mother in the future. My mother's family will be glorious because of me, my children will guard the Great Chu Dynasty, my son will become a generation of Ming monarchs, and my daughter will become a virtuous eldest princess. ”

It's a pity that this qiē was shattered in that moment. Win got a husband who loved me. My husband has never put his heart in front of me since. Even now. The Win family got all of the emperor's all. I don't have love, but I still have a son. Unfortunately, my son was killed by his grandmother, and by his father. ”

The emperor's eyes widened instantly: "How do you know?" ”

Seeing the emperor's expression, the last hope in Empress Chen's heart was shattered, and she seemed to be crazy: "Haha, how do I know?" Your Majesty, you really killed your own son, your eldest son. Why? Because you love Win too much. In order to survive for the Ying family, you made a deal with your mother, Empress Li. Empress Li can let the Ying family go, but the Ying family must leave the East Palace and leave the emperor. Moreover, there is an additional condition, that is, if my emperor dies, I cannot become an empress. ”

The Emperor closed his eyes and said, "I will not kill my own son. The former prince committed such a big crime, and I was only imprisoned, not executed. Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, let alone me? ”

Empress Chen smiled mockingly and said, "The emperor really didn't kill his own son. Empress Li also did not make a decree to kill her grandson. She just asked you to turn a blind eye to Wang Liangdi. Because Wang Liangdi said to Queen Li that she and Bai Liangdi are sisters, she wants to avenge Bai Liangdi, she wants to take revenge on me, I just hope that the emperor and Queen Li will not interfere, right? ”

The Emperor opened his mouth, but said nothing. Empress Chen's statement is very correct. That's what the agreement was all about at the time. At that time, his favorite Ying was pregnant, but Ying's identity was also discovered by people in the court. This discovery made those who were staring at the emperor's position as the crown prince happy. They waited for the matter of abolishing the crown prince so that they could put his brothers on the throne.

But this matter was known to the Li family. How could the Li family be willing to see that the fat that was about to arrive flew again, and it was because of a woman? Therefore, Empress Li made a move, she caught Ying's, and saw that Ying's was about to die in front of him. How could he bear it, he went to the palace to beg his mother, the woman who gave birth to him, the most noble woman in the world, the woman who held the power.

In the queen's palace, he met the people he often saw, all of whom were from the Li family, some were his uncles, some were his cousins, and his cousins. He can't forget the faces of these Li family members for the rest of his life, they treat him coldly, and they are very disappointed in him. They thought he was a pawn they had gained power in the world, and now this pawn was about to fall short because of a woman.

How pitiful he was at that time, he put down his pride and begged them, to beg his mother, Empress Li. But what do you get in exchange? It was their icy reply. At that time, how much he hated, he swore in his heart that when he grasped the power, he would definitely tear the Li family apart.

Later, Empress Li made a deal with him. talked about Wang Liangdi, Bai Liangdi, and Chen Liangdi. Actually, he also knows these things. Chen Liangdi is beautiful and intelligent, and gave birth to an eldest son and an eldest daughter. Wang Liangdi and Bai Liangdi are jealous of her. Chen Liangdi was also very protective of Bai Liangdi, who was pregnant, and even took a shot at Bai Liangdi, guiding Bai Liangdi to have a miscarriage and, soon Xiang Xiaoyu died.

Originally, he wanted to punish Chen Liangdi, but he was empathetic and fell in love, he fell madly in love with Ying, so he felt a little guilty about Chen Liangdi, and it was this guilt that made him choose to remain silent about Chen Liangdi's murder of Bai Liangdi.

Now, Bai Liangdi's friend Wang Liangdi wants to avenge Bai Liangdi, which is understandable. In the harem, this kind of vendetta is so normal. That's how he came along. Therefore, he chose to agree to Empress Li's conditions. In his mind, Wang Liangdi was just attacking Chen Liangdi, and Chen Liangdi suffered a loss, and he deserved it. Who asked her to deal with Bai Liangdi first?

In fact, in the emperor's heart, these concubines of the family made him hateful, just like his mother, Empress Li, who was born as the daughter of the Li family, came to the imperial family for the benefit of the family, because of the emperor's favor, after giving birth to a son, he relied on his son to grasp the power. It really disgusted him, from beginning to end, did anyone think about the people. In this world, the people are the royal world, and the royal people are controlled by these families.

Therefore, for the daughters of these families in his house pinching each other, he chose to watch the fire from the other side. But I didn't expect the consequences to be so tragic. His eldest son died because of this, and the pregnant concubine Li and Bai Liangdi, who was also pregnant, both went. He lost three children at once.

Therefore, he snubbed Chen Liangdi. Although later he became the emperor, because of his eldest daughter, he favored Chen Yuanqing again, and made her one of the four concubines. However, later, she was still placed in the Wenxiang Pavilion where she was stored like a cold palace for twenty years. (To be continued......)
