Chapter 288: Living in Pain

Among the many princes, there are many hard-working princes, for the throne of the prince, Lian Qi is also, however, the emperor passed the crown prince to a ten-year-old royal brother, just because his mother is the favorite concubine of his father.

If the crown prince's ability is outstanding, maybe they can accept it, but such a result is unacceptable to anyone.

So, back then, he also secretly teamed up with several princes and secretly planned.

He just stays in the palace on weekdays, never comes into contact with anyone, and never goes anywhere, except for a few restaurants, in the eyes of others, he is just an idle prince.

The old lady was the prince when the emperor was the prince, and now he is teaching the prince, the old lady has a birthday, and everyone who is an official in the court must go, not to mention that he is an idle prince who did not go to the fiefdom and stayed in the capital.

After meeting Liu Qinglian, he immediately entered the palace to ask for marriage, although the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is an official of the third grade, but he can marry the royal family, it is simply difficult to dream of, besides, the daughter married to the princess, and it has strengthened the façade for the Liu family.

Happily married, full of joy to marry, as mentioned above, the two of them are happy and sweet, and Lian Qi often takes Liu Qinglian out to play in the mountains and rivers, and by the way, he also goes to various countries to check the customs of the people, so that he can have a long insight.

However, the good times did not last long, and the rise of the Golden Spirit Palace made all the qiē earth-shaking changes.

With such a jade and ice clear, alluring country and city, Lian Qi just glanced at it, and it was deeply imprinted in his heart, and it was difficult to forget it again.

Looking at the plaque in the Xiyan Palace, Lian Qi retracted his thoughts, since when he had not been here, he couldn't remember.

Stepping in, the palace maid guarding the door was shocked when she saw the emperor, and the expression on her face changed rapidly, from shock to excitement to joy, "Slave maid see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live", the four palace maids guarding the door knelt down and saluted, and even Qi didn't look at it, and walked in.

The palace maids were overjoyed, and the emperor finally came to the Xiyan Palace.

"The concubines see the emperor", without waiting for Lian Qi to enter the palace, Queen Liu took the first step to greet her and made a big salute.

Lian Qi nodded, and said in a calm voice: "Get up."

"Emperor Xie", Queen Liu was supported by the palace maid to stand up, standing quietly beside her, Lian Qi looked at her face, so many years have passed, her appearance does not seem to have changed, it is still so beautiful and vulgar, only there is a touch of indifference, indifference that rejects people.

And he himself is so much older.

"What? Don't you let me in and sit?" Lian Qi saw that Queen Liu was standing still and didn't speak, and the whole person was blocking the door of the hall, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said.

Queen Liu glanced at Lian Qi, her cold face finally had a trace of emotion, she hadn't seen the emperor for a long time, but she didn't know, seeing him again, he was a lot older, for a while, I wanted to refuse the words, I swallowed it back, my heart softened a little after all, and said softly: "The concubine has no such intention", just say it, and let it aside without a trace.

Lian Qi nodded, walked in, looked around, the elegant decoration, completely without the magnificence of the queen's palace, couldn't help but say: "You still like elegance so much, what about the treasures I have given you"?

Empress Liu's eyebrows moved, her face added a little coldness, and she said casually: "The concubines have rewarded all the precious objects to the palace concubines", she thought that Lian Qi came for this matter.

Lian Qi nodded again, but didn't speak again, his calm expression made people not know his joy and anger, he sat on the phoenix chair in the center, at this time, a palace maid stepped forward to hand over tea, Lian Qi took a sip, quickly put it down, and looked at Queen Liu standing below, she still stood still, and did not speak, she couldn't help but have a trace of helplessness and melancholy in her eyes, but it was a flash, so fast that people didn't have time to see clearly.

After a long time, Lian Qi stood up, shook his dragon robe, and walked towards the outside of the hall, saying to Queen Liu as he walked: "I just came to see you, you can rest, I will go back first", his words had a detached and unfamiliar tone, which made Queen Liu's figure tremble, but it was well concealed.

"Congratulations to the emperor", looking at the back of some vicissitudes, Queen Liu's well-decorated cold mask was removed, and the mist gradually appeared in her eyes, and finally she was not tense, and her bright and moving face was filled with deep sadness and tiredness.

She still can't figure out why the man who keeps saying he loves her no longer loves her after seeing another woman, and he doesn't even have a word of explanation, so he gradually alienates and becomes stranger.

In the six months that he left the vicissitudes, what happened to him?

Twenty-five years, she has always lived in pain, the glamorous queen on the surface, in fact, her body has long been dragged by her into an incurable disease, and now she only relies on bitter decoction to support her already broken body.

Night is approaching, Lian Tianyan came to the palace again, this time, he was in a hurry, and Lian Qi saw him in the imperial study.

"What is it that is so anxious to come"? Lian Qi raised his eyelids and looked at his son, and continued to sketch on the fold.

Lian Tianyan took a step forward and said cautiously: "Father, it has only been eight hundred miles to report urgently, Nangong Yu has approached Yancheng, and between the two parties, there is only one city apart, it seems that Nangong Yu is about to succeed, and the Jinxi Dynasty is about to change hands, and the sons are thinking, is it necessary."

Without waiting for Lian Tianyan to finish speaking, Lian Qi interrupted him, "Although Nangong Ling has some talents, but compared to his father, it is still far behind, but it is King Yu, brave and strategic, but it is also a small night, after the war of the Jin Xi Dynasty, the national strength needs to recuperate the most, this matter is not in a hurry, and after he really captures Yancheng, it is not too late for Canglan to move, so as not to startle the snake."

Lian Tianyan nodded and continued: "But, Father, the spies have reported that the Dongshuo Kingdom has begun to move, and the hundred miles game has gathered 500,000 troops, and it is ready to cross the Gobi."

Lian Qiyan's eyes narrowed, revealing a trace of doubt, "500,000 troops? Even if the 500,000 army crosses the Gobi and wants to defeat Nangong Yu, how can it be"?

"Erchen also thinks so, an army of 500,000 to fight against Nangong Yu's million male soldiers is undoubtedly defeated, which makes Erchen unable to figure it out."

Lian Qi didn't speak, he thought for a while before he spoke: "The meaning of Dongshuo Kingdom is not to form an alliance with Canglan to attack Nangong Yu together, right?"

When Lian Tianyan heard Lian Qi's words, he was suddenly shocked, if this matter was connected, it was indeed very possible, but he didn't receive any message from Dongshuo Kingdom that he wanted to form an alliance with Canglan.
