Chapter 287: Sunset
As soon as Luo Xi left, Concubine Hui's straight back collapsed, she covered her bulging belly with both hands, her brows were tightly locked, and a touch of melancholy flashed in her eyes, her words today seemed to be a little more, when Luo Xi just left, she glanced at her stomach, what did she mean?
After the vicissitudes of life, in the prince's mansion, Lian Tianyan was walking in the garden with the crown princess, and suddenly received an edict from the emperor ordering him to enter the palace immediately.
In the palace, above the main hall, Lian Qi sat on the dragon chair, his back was faintly rickety, he was much older, obviously only forty-five years old, but at this moment he was like an old man of sixty, the sideburns on both sides grew a trace of white hair, between the eyebrows because of the frequent frowning, the formation of Sichuan wrinkles, the eyes were not as majestic as before, and the whole face also collapsed.
"Father, what's wrong with you"? After Lian Tianyan saluted, he came to Lian Qi, and when he saw Lian Qi's state, he was also taken aback, but he had only seen his father for five or six days, why did his father become so old?
Lian Qi moved his mouth and wanted to say something, but the last thing he came out was a sigh, and said faintly: "In the past few days, I have always dreamed of her, dreamed that she came to take revenge, came to kill me, and also dreamed of him, he always looked at me, did nothing, didn't say anything, just looked at me, I was furious in my heart, and asked him not to say anything."
Lian Tianyan took a deep breath, looked at Lian Qi and comforted: "Father, don't think so much, it's just a dream, it can't be true."
"What do you know"? Suddenly, Lian Qi shouted fiercely, and his originally gloomy eyes instantly showed a fierce color, his eyes were round, and his whole face was a little hideous.
Lian Tianyan was stunned for a moment, Lian Qi seemed to be aware of his abnormality, his eyes couldn't help but flicker a little, he moved his gaze away, narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "I think this, maybe it's a harbinger, I'm afraid, the thing I'm most afraid of will come soon."
"Father", Lian Tianyan called softly, but was interrupted by Lian Qi raising his hand, "I already know the news from Jin Xi, Jin Ling Palace, the rivers and lakes have reappeared, right?"
Lian Tianyan was obviously stiff, angry and angry, but in the end he still didn't speak, Jin Ling Palace reappeared in the rivers and lakes, he took a lot of effort to seal the news, not to let the news flow into the palace, but unexpectedly, the father still knew.
Lian Qi saw that his son didn't speak, he knew that it was true, and he couldn't help but have enough of the corners of his mouth, and laughed self-deprecatingly, which made the wrinkles on his face deeper, "It seems that I am really old, and everyone in the world knows the news, but I am the last one to know."
"Father", Lian Qi coughed violently, Lian Tianyan helped him, and kept smoothing his back.
Lian Qi loves this son again, but after all, he is still the emperor now, his power, his majesty, no one is allowed to ignore it, and this son he loves the most, he actually hides so many things from him, if it weren't for the fact that he has been dreaming these days, his heart is restless, and he has been transferred to the secret guard to ask, I am afraid that until he dies, I don't know, the Golden Spirit Palace has reappeared in the rivers and lakes.
This is definitely a blow to him.
"Father, the child is also for your sake, the child knows that you regret what happened back then, but things are wrong, the child hopes that the father can live comfortably every day, instead of living in regret and guilt all the time."
Lian Qi finally stabilized his cough, raised his head and looked at Lian Tianyan, there was a bit of his youthful appearance between his eyebrows, but there was also the shadow of others, his eyes flashed a touch of anger, he raised his hand suddenly, and waved it to that face, "pop", the crisp slap echoed in the sky above the main hall, and it took a long time to disperse.
At this time, there were only two fathers and sons in the palace, Lian Tianyan covered the left side of his face that was beaten, his face was full of shock, you know, from childhood to adulthood, no matter how strict his father was, he never moved a finger from him, he himself worked hard, and was not arrogant because he was born to the queen, so on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony, he was named the prince.
He thought that this qiē was obtained by his own ability, and nothing could make it difficult for him, but now, because of such an incident, his father beat him, which made him unacceptable no matter what.
"Father, the child thinks that he has done nothing wrong", plopped, Lian Tianyan knelt at Lian Qi's feet, with a touch of stubbornness in his tone, "Back then, because of a thought, you made Uncle Wang and his wife and children die in the fire, but after so many years, even if it is an iron man, like his father, it is time to repent, the child thinks that the father should have taken the national affairs as his own responsibility, don't think about the past, even if someone really comes to seek revenge, the child will protect his father, and will never let anyone hurt a hair of his father, and his father has not been in court for three days, The vicissitudes of the tide cannot be without a monarch for a day, and I also ask my father to take care of the dragon body and benefit the canglans."
Lian Tianyan said so many words in one breath, hung his head slightly, and waited for Lian Qi to speak, but Lian Qi had already put away his hideous face, and his whole face collapsed again, he lowered his head and looked at his son, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his heart was even more bitter, and his internal organs were uncomfortable.
How many years can a lie deceive people?
But the lie he weaved was enough to deceive his son for twenty-five years, and even the woman who had been in harmony with him, lingering and loving, didn't she weave a web of lies and cover her son for twenty-five years?
It's ridiculous that now, his son is actually gaging him with the lies he weaved?
He didn't say anything, just let Lian Tianyan leave, and he got up and drove to the queen's palace, Xiyan Palace.
The original queen's palace is Chaofeng Palace, Xiyan Palace, this name is taken by the queen herself, as the name suggests, it is the name of a flower, called gourd flower, also called morning glory, blooming at dusk, withering in the next dynasty, quietly containing Ying, scattered and scattered, only a woman with a thin life will use this word to describe.
Back then, the queen wanted to change the name of Chaofeng Palace, but he did not object, because in his heart, he only felt deep guilt for the queen.
The queen was the daughter of the Ministry of Rites Liu Qinglian, a concubine, at that time, he was still an idle prince, by chance, at the old lady's birthday banquet, he fell in love with Liu Qinglian at first sight, she was beautiful and vulgar, elegant and gentle, and her appearance was even more bright and charming, which made people unable to take their eyes off.
He walked towards her, and saw that her little face gradually became red, like a peach stained with dew, which made him even more excited, although he was an idle prince, but not a prince without ambition, in the same year, the emperor made the crown prince, and the rest of the princes gave the fief and the prince, in order not to let these princes have any extra thoughts.
The others obediently went to the fiefdom, but he did not leave and stayed in the palace in Kyoto.
Don't look at the fact that he didn't go to the fief, but secretly sent someone to secretly raise it in the fiefdom, and when the emperor died, he started to act.
