Chapter 356: Harboring a Ghost Child
The faint aroma of wine lingered on the tip of the nose, and the imperial concubine froze in place, her face as white as snow, and she didn't see anyone. The word "mediocre" hovered on the tip of her tongue, and was blocked by her clenched teeth. Confused...... He must have been confused......
Regardless of whether Liang Siqi has a wife or not, just his age, he can't be this colt anyway. The daughter she protected on the tip of her heart, but now she is going to be sent by him to be a steproom? The imperial concubine secretly clenched her teeth, and the slender hand hidden under the wide sleeves of the gorgeous dress was also clenched into a fist, and the nails that were raised like shallots were fiercely embedded in the flesh of the palm until the blood beads oozed out.
She couldn't directly point at Emperor Su Fang's nose and tell him that he was wrong, that his decision on the marriage of his eldest daughter was very wrong, she could only tell herself again and again that before the holy decree was made, everything still had room to turn around.
When her mind was turning, she knelt down in front of Emperor Su Fang, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Huihe is innocent by nature, and Lord Liang is much older than her, so I am afraid that I will not agree." β
When Emperor Su Fang heard this, he laughed, and got up to pick her up in person.
"Huihe is also my daughter, what kind of character is she, I don't know?" He seemed to have been prepared, and unhurriedly said all the plans in his heart one by one, "Do you know that Liang Siqi is in charge of several military camps, how many people are in total?" β
The imperial concubine was stunned.
Emperor Su Fang continued: "One hundred thousand, Liang Siqi has an army of 100,000!" β
ββ¦β¦ The emperor ......" The imperial concubine heard this, and her heart moved slightly. A burst of breathless depression and tension came over my heart.
Emperor Su Fang was still saying slowly: "The entire 100,000 army is just in Liang Siqi's hands, how can you say that I can rest assured?" He said. Letting go of the hand holding the imperial concubine's wrist, he turned around and sat down on the carved wide chair behind the bookcase again, and fell back with a strange expression, just leaning on it and revealing his thoughts in front of the imperial concubine, "He began to make meritorious contributions when he was more than ten years old, and the weight of military merits is still above the military attachΓ© of the Manchu Dynasty." The soldiers and horses in his hands. It was he who came back with real knives and guns, fighting little by little. β
"If I want to take it back in one go, I don't nod my head. How? β
"The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, so many pairs of eyes, but they are all staring at my movements day and night!"
"This talisman seems to be uncollectible."
He said many things in a row. Suddenly the volume was raised. said with a smug face: "But if he is still a princess, this talisman will be handed over, and if he doesn't pay it, he will have to pay it!" In terms of generation, he was born a generation shorter than me; On the monarch and the minister, I am the king, he is the minister; In terms of rules, the talisman he held in his hand and refused to let go, should be handed over! The emperor's grace is immense. Bestow the eldest princess on him as his wife, such an honor. He can only happily accept it! If he refuses, then I will even bring the Liang family with the talisman and serve it in a pot! β
The words were in a hurry, and Emperor Su Fang couldn't help but gasp softly.
The imperial concubine's heart standing in front of the lenient bookcase was "pounding", the speed was getting faster and faster, and the voice was getting louder and louder.
She was stunned.
If the Liang family had the heart to rebel, how could they wait until today, as early as the time when Emperor Qinglong died in the past year, they could support the army.
The imperial concubine secretly took a deep breath and reluctantly argued: "The Liang family does not dare to be disloyal. β
"People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, the word greed is engraved in people's bones by birth, the Liang family can't see the clue on their faces, and they may have already given birth to different hearts in private, just waiting for the opportunity." Emperor Su Fang sneered, and then said categorically, "The Liang family's bones are the hardest, I can only send Huihe out ruthlessly, you don't have to say it anymore, I have made up my mind." β
When the imperial concubine saw his determination, she couldn't help but be in a hurry for a moment, and begged in a lamented voice: "Your Majesty, the emperor can't ......"
"Why not?" Emperor Su Fang Huo Ran got up, slapped the case heavily, and shook the layers of music on top of him, "Since she is in the royal family, she can't help herself, and now is the time when she should come forward." β
Being in the royal family, I can't help myself.
In this way, the imperial concubine has also said it to Ji Tongying once, but at this moment, it sounds particularly harsh.
She bit her lip, only to feel a fishy sweetness in her mouth.
"Well, go down. I will make a decision on this matter at a later date, and you don't have to ask about it again. Emperor Su Fang frowned and waved his sleeves, "Go down!" β
The imperial concubine can just stop here, if she just leaves, she will really watch her daughter marry a half-old man in the future.
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she said quickly: "The emperor thinks twice, if you want to seize Liang Siqi's military power, there is not only one way for Huihe to marry!" β
Solutions have always been figured out by people, and as long as they want to, in time, there will always be another way to use. But finding a way is also a time-consuming thing, and there can be a few things that can be as upright as the princess's marriage, and show the so-called imperial grace......
When Emperor Su Fang heard this, he opened his mouth and reprimanded: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so don't talk much!" β
"Your Majestyβ" The imperial concubine called him eagerly, and was about to continue arguing, when she slapped her head-on, knocking her off the head.
Her face burned hotly, and red blood slowly slid down the corners of her mouth.
The imperial concubine raised her head and looked at Emperor Su Fang in disbelief, her eyes full of disappointment.
Emperor Su Fang scolded impatiently, "Are you questioning my decision? β
He was furious, "Woman's kindness! β
He said it so loudly that he heard the imperial concubine's ears buzzing, and she almost reached out to cover her ears.
I don't know when the white porcelain wine glass that was pushed to the edge of the table fell to the ground, like broken jade.
The panicked imperial concubine suddenly came to her senses. How could she lose her sense of proportion and composure in front of Emperor Su Fang, the more times like this now, the more she has to calm down! So she pinched herself hard, and then fell to her knees with the broken porcelain shards that splashed all over the ground.
The sharp broken porcelain pierced through the flesh, and it hurt like a heart.
She leaned over with a thousand manners, kowtowed, and apologized in a low voice: "The emperor is angry, but the concubine is confused." β
As soon as she calmed down, she immediately reverted back to her original dignified and calm appearance.
Blood soaked the hem of her skirt under her knees, like ink in water, and gradually smeared.
Emperor Su Fang gasped, and just when he looked down, the anger between his eyebrows and eyes dissipated a little. He closed his eyes, sat down again, and let out a long breath before waving his hand and saying, "Go down......"
The imperial concubine also decided not to mention Ji Tongying's marriage, and after getting up, she repeatedly confessed, and then left the imperial study.
The cool breeze outside the imperial study was fierce, and the heavy pain on the body and heart came up one after another.
Emperor Sufang's suspicion seems to be getting worse and worse......
The sun was blazing overhead, but the imperial concubine felt that her eyes were dark. This blue sky and bright sun are bright and clear, but it seems to be filled with black fog, so that people can't see through the road ahead.
*****
This black fog spread all the way from the imperial city, almost enveloping most of the southern city in it.
It goes without saying that Dingguo Gongwan is self-explanatory, and it is difficult to be spared.
When Wan Jidao was free, he detained Yan Lin to speak, and analyzed the stakes with him again and again, and the only way to save his life was to stay away from Kyoto. However, Yan Lin didn't enter the oil and salt, and only replied to him after listening to it: "Yan Huai could do it back then, but can't I do it now?" β
Wan Jidao sat on the Taishi chair, frowned at him, and said in his heart that he and Yan Huai were not all the way, how could they be compared, but they couldn't say it so clearly, so he thought for a while and asked: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, why don't you think about it in a compromise, leave first to recuperate, and wait until the time is ripe to make a move, how about it?" β
"Uncle, I was a three-year-old child." Yan Lin sneered and shook his head, "My mother has been trapped in the Yan family alone for a few years, and Bao Buqi is no longer alive, and you and I don't know yet." β
Wan Jidao sank his face and reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, your mother has always been safe and sound." β
Yan Lin gritted his teeth: "How can I be safe and sound?" Yan Huai must have swallowed her heart alive! β
Although many things have passed for several years, looking back at this moment, Yan Lin still only feels vivid, as clear as yesterday. After Yan Huai returned to the Chengguo Mansion for the first time, Xiao Wan sent several groups of people to assassinate him, and Yan Lin still remembered how many times he tried various poisons.
His mother treated him as a child, trying in vain to protect him with her own strength and prevent him from being contaminated with these poisonous things, but he was in the bureau, how could he not know anything.
Yan Lin asked Wan Ji suddenly: "Over the years, has my uncle ever been to see my mother?" β
Tens of thousands of noodles sank like water: "No." β
"Why?" Yan Lin asked.
Wan Dao was silent.
Why? Because he never calculated that Yan Huai could collude with Wang Ren to let himself be planted one after another, making him embarrassed? Or is it because his mother, Mrs. Wan, begged him not to meddle in this matter anymore, so she gave up? Or is it that although he doesn't like Yan Huai in his heart, he still cares about his dead sister?
From childhood to adulthood, the big Wan's who are charming and delicate by nature are more likable to everyone than the little Wan's.
Up and down the house, regardless of the master, the servant and the woman, are willing to hold her and spoil her.
Of course, Wan Jidao, who is an elder brother, is no exception, how much he dislikes Yan Huai, and how much he spoiled the Wan family back then.
As for Xiao Wan, his feelings for Xiaomei are more consciously indebted......
So he helped her and wanted to help Yanlin inherit the title, until they all underestimated Yanhuai and ate calculations.
Wan Dao said in a deep voice: "If you agree to leave, I want your mother to go with you." β
When Yan Lin heard this, he didn't object, but suddenly said, "I want to see my mother immediately." After a slight pause, he bent the corners of his mouth and smiled evilly, "No matter what, my mother is still the daughter of the Wan family, my uncle came to the door to ask for a meeting, what reason did Yan Huai have to stop him?" β
Even if you tear your face, it's secretly torn, and on the surface, the two families are relatives, and it's common to walk around occasionally.
Wan Dao wanted to see Xiao Wan's clan openly, but Yan Huai was indeed inconvenient to stop him.
However, Wan Jidao did not approve of this move. (To be continued......)
