Chapter 369: The Past
☆★☆★☆★
After the emperor returned from Huanyuexuan, he asked his cronies to investigate what Lin Zhaoyan said.
He was not stupid, he had calmed down on the way back to the study, and he also noticed the clues in Lin Zhaoyan's words.
However, his cautious and cautious personality still made him decide to investigate first, anyway, they were all imprisoned, so what if they were left with their lives for a few more days.
The Queen Mother listened to him explain in detail the things that his subordinates had to do, and couldn't help but ask coldly: "What if you find out?" Is it possible to kill them all? ”
The emperor leaned back in the chair, rubbed his eyebrows, and said tiredly: "Queen Mother, I know that you are soft-hearted, but there are some things that can be solved without being soft-hearted. ”
"Do you have to kill them all? People often say that doing good deeds accumulates virtue, do you want to defeat all the virtues accumulated by our ancestors of the Xiao family before you are willing? The Queen Mother stared at the emperor, with pain, dissatisfaction and self-blame in her eyes.
It's all her fault, it's her blind connivance and compromise that has cultivated the emperor's current temperament, and it's too late to teach now.
All she wants is for him to have less sins, so that he will not damage his yin virtue and take revenge on his descendants.
The third child's temperament is exactly the same as that of the emperor, he is really capable of plotting rebellion and rebellion!
Why didn't the emperor understand!
"Queen Mother!" The emperor opened his eyes, his eyes were sharp, and there was a strong resentment and unwillingness in them, "You have never looked down on me!" If it weren't for Xiao Yan's willingness to fall, drunk and dreaming of death, it was really embarrassing, how could you do your best to protect me from the top! In your mind, he was never the only son! ”
"You!" The Queen Mother was so angry that she trembled, "Do you have a conscience when you say this!" I haven't done anything you want over the years! You've done so many unconscionable things, and I'm just following you to clean up! But Heng'er, nothing in the world can escape a cycle of retribution, if you are obsessed with it. There will always be a time when you will regret it! ”
"Then let's talk about it later!" The emperor threw down this sentence indifferently, and couldn't help sneering at the sad and disappointed eyes of the queen mother, "The queen mother is good to me just because she has no choice, if that incident didn't happen back then, now in this position, I'm afraid that I am your most precious Yan'er, how can I be qualified to bother the queen mother to teach me personally!" Anyway, I have never been taught by the queen mother since I was a child, and I spend more time with the nurse than the queen mother! ”
"Heng'er!" The Queen Mother looked at him incredulously, she didn't expect the resentment in his heart to be so strong, "Why do you think so?" You and Yan'er were both born to their mothers. How can the queen mother be treated differently? When I was a child, it was only because Yan'er was weak and sick that the queen mother would take more care, you have always been strong and brave, and the queen mother just wants you to learn to be alone......"
"So when I had a high fever and was about to die, you went to watch a big show with Xiao Yan and set off fireworks! So when Xiao Yan and I fell in love with a girl at the same time, you didn't ask, and asked for marriage for Xiao Yan for your father! Hehe, take charge alone? In this case, when your father wanted to establish a prince, why did you want to promote your so-called frail and sickly Xiao Yan! The hatred in the emperor's eyes became stronger and stronger, and when he remembered the past, it was like a hot oil poured on his heart, and then immersed in cold water, and the pain made him almost numb.
"All kinds of things in this world, if I don't fight for it myself. When the queen mother thinks of me, I'm afraid I've already turned to ashes! ”
The Queen Mother's eyes widened, as if she was incredulous, "You...... These. You never told the queen mother, it turns out that Huijun ......"
"Queen Mother!" The emperor cut off her words, obviously rejecting the name, "It's all in the past." Also mention what it does! The queen mother doesn't know what to do? There are so many things that the queen mother doesn't know! Because you only have the fifth brother in your eyes, how can you notice me? ”
The Queen Mother opened her mouth, wanting to say something. But I found that I couldn't say a word.
She doesn't know the way, she really doesn't know the way......
Could it be that Hye-jun's death ......
The Queen Mother looked at the emperor with a gloomy face, and couldn't help but shudder.
It turned out that her son, who had grown up watching since she was a child, had already become so paranoid and terrible before she even knew it.
It's because I had too much love when I was a child, so when I became an emperor, I had to grab everything I liked, and destroy everything that threatened?
"I'm tired! Queen Mother, please come back! Thinking of too many unpleasant past events when he was young, the emperor was so depressed that he didn't even bother to pretend to be respectful on the surface, and directly issued an eviction order.
The Queen Mother smiled bitterly, knowing that she was saying that no matter how much she said, it was useless, she couldn't change the emperor, unless she lived again.
But is it possible?
After the queen mother left, the emperor not only did not calm down, but became more and more irritable and depressed, and the face that he had deliberately forgotten for nearly twenty years always appeared in his mind.
Clear and elegant facial features, quiet and gentle temperament, and affectionate eyes.
After she was married, he was decadent for three months, and then he overheard that his father was considering the establishment of a prince, and his mother naturally said good things about Xiao Yan, so he was forced to cheer up.
He knew that he could not be decadent any longer, and that he had to ascend to a high position so that he would not be asked to snatch what belonged to him again and again.
So, he took advantage of her, said that he was going to elope with her, and then ......
Xiao Heng remembered that the first time he hurt his heart was the woman he loved deeply.
He knew that there was nothing in this world that he could not get.
The support of the queen mother, the support of the courtiers, the high throne, the gentle and virtuous queen, and the three thousand beauties of the queen palace......
He ended up getting everything.
It's just that why is there always a big empty piece in my heart when I dream back at midnight?
He must have lost something, something very important.
Until...... He met Lu and saw it as if he were like.
With a calm and clean temperament, Mingyan's warm smile, his heart seemed to be filled all at once.
There was only one thought in my head.
He must get her, and he must treat her well with all his heart.
Certain.
Xiao Heng thought of this, and a bitter smile overflowed on his lips.
It turns out that the so-called love at first sight, the so-called deep love without regrets, is like this.
Xiao Heng smiled and smiled, and a tear slipped from the corner of his eye.
At this time, a eunuch entered the house with a jade butterfly, "Your Majesty, it's time to flop." ”
Xiao Heng immediately suppressed his emotions and said coldly: "No need, I will rest in the study today." ”
The eunuch secretly glanced at the emperor, and saw that his expression was still peaceful, so he couldn't help but muster up the courage to speak, "Your Majesty, the slave heard that Concubine Jing recently learned a neon dress dance, and said that she wanted to dedicate it to the emperor!" ”
"I said I was going to rest in the study today, am I deaf?!" Xiao Heng was furious, "Hugh is going to take out your tricks that can't be put on the table!" ”
The eunuch was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "The emperor forgives the sin, the emperor forgives the sin!" ”
If he hadn't accepted a mutton fat jade bracelet from the little palace maid next to Concubine Jing today, thinking of collecting money to eliminate disasters for others, where would he touch the dragon's whiskers?
If you really lose your life because of that little bit of silver, it's too worthless!
"Get out of here!" Xiao Heng coldly spit out three words, but he didn't bother with him.
The eunuch was overjoyed, kowtowed again and again to express his gratitude, and thought that he would never be able to accept bribes again next time.
But when he just walked to the door, he heard the emperor shouting: "Wait! ”
His heart tightened, and he turned around with a wry smile, "What else does the emperor command?" ”
"What did you just say Concubine Jing learned?"
"Neon Dance."
"Neon Dance?" Xiao Heng narrowed his eyes and repeated word for word.
Neon Dance ......
He used to be called Wanru Xue, but she refused to please him, and said that it was a play, because of this he punished her for the first time, and fought with her for several days.
Unexpectedly, after so long of things, Concubine Jing actually learned.
Do you want to compete for favor like that?
Xiao Heng sneered in his heart, "Then let's go and take a look!" ”
No matter what Concubine Jing's purpose was, in short, he hadn't seen anyone dance the neon dress dance for a long time.
