242. Chapter 100: Brother and Sister
The highest level of torture is not to torture people into inhuman form, and then get what they want, to deal with Han Jinrong, the hard-mouthed Jin Guifei, Ye Buli adopted the softest punishment.
Ordered someone to scratch and scratch the soles of her feet with a feather, which was more unbearable torture than heartbreaking, Da Lang laughed, laughing so much that tears fell, still laughing, laughing and laughing.
After laughing to the most, she finally couldn't bear such a painless punishment, all the tricks, the emperor did have a horse in his stomach, it was she who suffered Yu Ling's counterattack in Fenglin Palace, she was indignant in her heart, and mentioned the shame to the emperor many times, the emperor spoke for Yu Ling again and again, she finally made a ruthless heart, the emperor's heart has been fascinated by the queen, and she wants to get permanent glory and wealth in the palace, only her son is the emperor, and the mother is expensive by virtue of her son, she can come out.
Ye Buli and Jin Buchang presented their confessions to Yu Ling, Yu Ling trembled with anger, and the queen was also trembling, the most poisonous woman's heart, I didn't expect that the emperor had favored Han Jinrong for sixteen years, and he was obedient to her, and none of them did not follow her wishes, and in the end they would end up like this.
Han Jinrong just bought Lu Ma from the hands of the Cangnan people, and she didn't know what the antidote was, crying and shouting for the emperor to forgive her, it was also shouting from her mouth, she knew very well in her heart that her life would definitely not be saved, and her two children would also be implicated because of her, which was a crime of bullying the king, and her mother's family would also be punished by the Zhulian Nine Clans because of her.
It's useless to cry in the dungeon of the harem, she has to pay for what she has done, not only her life, but many people will die because of her.
Zhao Guofang was sometimes awake, sometimes unconscious, and when he was awake, he heard that it was Concubine Jin who harmed him, his face was extremely ugly, and he was forced to drink unpleasant vinegar, salt water, vomit and vomit, toss several times, if it wasn't for Yu Ling begging him to try, he really didn't want to live.
For the unborn child in the queen's womb, he hung his breath and lived with an almost stubborn spirit, he must live, see his daughter govern Zhao Guo, and see his child fall to the ground.
For the disposal of Concubine Jin, he asked Yu Ling to take care of it, she had already mastered the imperial power of Zhao State, and she decided the life and death of a cadre.
Yu Ling's heart didn't want many people to be implicated, after all, it was Han Jinrong who did it alone, her daughter and son were innocent, they were her younger brothers and sisters, and they had the same blood flowing on their bodies, Jin Lihua meant poisoning, not that she was ruthless, leaving Jin Guifei's two children, she would definitely be full of hatred for Yu Ling in the future, and if she was full of wings in the future, it would definitely be unfavorable to Yu Ling.
Yu Ling thought about it and decided to meet Zhao Ru'er, the princess of Qingyang, and Zhao Youtang, the king of Donglin, who had been excluded from her younger siblings since she was a child, if she hadn't had the opportunity to walk the entire palace in secret, I was afraid that she wouldn't even know what they looked like.
Zhao Ruer and Zhao Youtang have reached the age of sixteen, each has a palace, not far from the palace of Jin Guifei, it's just that Zhao Ruer has been arrogant and rude since childhood, except for a few bullying minions around her, no one wants to tell her that Jin Guifei is detained in the dungeon, life and death are uncertain, but Zhao Youtang heard the wind and walked around his palace in a hurry, he didn't know the specific situation, only that Zhao Yuling, the eldest princess of Ludao, came back and put his mother into the dungeon, and she killed two ministers in the Golden Palace, This sister, whom she has never met, is about to inherit the throne.
The father is critically ill, and the queen's daughter suddenly returns and will inherit the throne, which is a dangerous message, and as the eldest prince, he should inherit the throne.
Sent someone out of the palace to ask for help from his grandfather's house, and the person who came back said that the Han family was surrounded by the Praetorian Guards, and they had not rushed in to arrest people for the time being, but, depending on the situation, it would not be long before the Praetorian Guards would take action.
The Han family and the prime minister Han Qi are distant relatives, and they have never had contact with each other on weekdays, and the Han family, who has a daughter who is favored, is a relative of the emperor, and they have always walked with their chin raised to Han Qi's family, and they feel that they are superior, so when Zhao Youtang remembered to ask Han Qi for help, he hesitated again, can the prime minister help him?
"The eldest prince, it's no good, the eldest princess is coming to you with someone." The little eunuch ran in with a panicked face, lying on the ground and panting desperately, "My master said to tell me secretly, the eldest princess is a powerful character, the eldest prince should pay attention to safety, she can twist people's necks with one palm." ”
Zhao Youtang was scared, he heard his mother talk about Yu Ling breaking her arm, and he also faintly heard the eunuchs talk about it, this eldest princess is not ordinary, she can fly the eaves and walk the wall, and taking people's lives is as simple as searching for a bag and taking things.
Yu Ling's footsteps were not ordinarily fast, accompanied by Ye Buli and Yingxue, he arrived in a blink of an eye, leaving the two of them outside the hall, walking in by himself, and hearing the last words of the little eunuch, he sneered and scolded: "If you don't do anything wrong, your neck will naturally be pressed on your neck." ”
"Big ...... Public...... The little eunuch ...... trembling with fright, kowtowing desperately, "spare your life, spare your life......"
"Get out of here." Yu Ling shouted impatiently, do you think she is a killer demon king, twist the neck of the person with one palm, then you have to see who the person in front of you is, Zhao Youtang is her own brother, a father, how can he do such a thing.
Zhao Youtang saw that she was dressed in a snow-white robe, dressed in a nondescript manner, if it weren't for the queen's dragon and phoenix hairpin in her hair pulled up, he would definitely think that she was just an irrelevant person.
He didn't know what to call her, since he was a child, he called his sister Zhao Ruer, who was ten months older, and he grew up smoothly since he was a child, and he had never put the eldest princess Zhao Yuling born to the queen in his eyes, and now, this eldest princess is about to become the first empress of Zhao and rule the country, and he is just her courtier.
"I know you don't know me." Yu Ling held the confession of his mother Han Jinrong in his hand, and his tone was soft, "In your heart, there is only one sister, she was born in the first month, you were born at the end of the year, and your sister and brother were born in the same year, which is enough to witness the father's love for your mother, but she is wolf-hearted and has done something to her father." ”
The confession in his hand was handed to him, and he motioned for him to look at it, "Your mother is begging your father for forgiveness in the dungeon, and your father needs to use all his strength to speak, he can't forgive her anymore, he wants me to take full authority to deal with your mother and her family, including you and your sister Princess Zhao Ru'er of Qingyang." ”
Zhao Youtang trembled his hands, looked down line by line, his whole body trembled, his legs were weak, he knelt on the ground, and his teeth were fighting, this is a big crime of rebellion, murdering the emperor, even he will be killed.
"Impossible, impossible......" Suddenly, tears fell, crying, "She won't do that." ”
"In order for you to ascend the throne, she did that, and it was so ruthless to repay her father's sixteen years of favor, and she didn't care about the love of husband and wife at all." Yu Ling squatted down and looked at him at eye level, "Zhao Youtang, I came to you, because you are my own brother, it is our father who is dying on the dragon bed, without that person, we would not have been able to come to this world, I just want to ask you one thing, your mother has committed a heinous crime, and your father is suffering from painful torture, what do you think in your heart?" ”
"I don't know what to do." Zhao Youtang cried bitterly, "Mother, you are so ruthless, why do you want to do this, that person is your husband." "I already thought that my mother had done that, and he had also broken some of her strange behaviors, and he always thought that she was trying to deal with the queen, and he didn't ask carefully, after all, the fight in the harem was not something he could stop.
He cried sincerely, without the slightest falsehood, Yu Ling believed that Han Jinrong's actions had nothing to do with him, and he was also exempted from the death penalty in his heart, he was his father's eldest son, and he should have been the one who originally inherited the throne, but according to the current situation, if he ascended the throne, he would definitely become a puppet emperor with no real power, Han Jinrong raised him too squeamish, and he was not manly at all.
"Is my father saved?" Zhao Youtang clenched his confession tightly, raised his head, and asked in a trembling voice, "I don't want to lose my father." ”
"I have already sent someone to Cangnan to find an antidote, it is estimated that it will take about five days to go back and forth, this terrible insect is tormenting him in his father's stomach, I am afraid that my father will not be able to support it." Yu Ling helped him up and smiled slightly, "Youtang, don't be afraid, you won't be implicated because of your mother's concubine, even if the ministers ask for punishment of you, I will save your life, you are my own brother, although my father handed over the power to me, I will not abuse the power against my younger brother." ”
"What about the Queen?" Zhao Youtang's heart trembled with palpitations, and he didn't dare to look at Yu Ling, "She won't forgive the rebellious concubine, let alone us." ”
Yu Ling gently hugged his arm and chuckled, "Although it is the first time I have seen you, I have always known that you are not an evil person, your mother is competitive, and she has to gain the upper hand everywhere, and she does not put my mother in her eyes, and respects my mother openly and secretly, and I will not let my mother hurt you." Youtang, I only hope you don't resent me, your mother will definitely be executed, and her family may also be implicated, but I try not to kill innocents indiscriminately, even if your grandfather's family really participated in the rebellion plan, if I forgive them from dying, their hearts are still full of resentment towards me, that is not within my power, and I am afraid that you will resent me for killing your mother in the future. ”
"No, sister, I won't resent you." Zhao Youtang burst into tears, knelt on his knees, grabbed Yu Ling's hand and cried bitterly, "I beg my sister to forgive my grandfather's family, although my grandfather relied on my mother's concubine to be favored in the palace and flew high, but they did not do anything evil, begging my sister not to implicate the nine clans." ”
"Yes." Yu Ling helped him up, smiled and wiped his tears, "Men don't flick when they have tears, Youtang, you are the prince of Zhao Kingdom, and you are a role model for young people in the world, you must remember that forgiving others is forgiving yourself." "She's doing that, forgiving everyone who can be forgiven, human life is fragile, and when you die, you can come back to life.
"Sister." Zhao Youtang didn't expect her to agree so easily, and nodded vigorously with tears streaming down his face, "I will definitely respect my sister in the future, be filial to my father, and atone for my mother's concubine." ”
"If our father and emperor are not dead, your mother and concubine will not have to die." Yu Ling took a deep breath, smiled gently, and saw his younger brother who was shocked by his words, and sighed lightly, "I know that your mother poisoned her father, and her sin is unforgivable, but no matter how bad that person is, she is also your mother, and her father is alive, and she can live, but she will spend her life in the cold palace, this is the bottom limit, you can only go to see her once a month, otherwise, my mother will not agree." ”
"My sister is the real king." Zhao Youtang knelt on the ground, his heart was full of gratitude, he raised his head happily and sincerely, and tears continued to flow out, "Zhao Guo has a sister, it is a great luck, Youtang has a sister, it is a blessing." ”
"Zhao is our Zhao family's country, your accession to the throne and my accession to the throne are the same, governing the country well, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment is the most fundamental thing, when you become the emperor, it is not that you can do anything wrong with the imperial power in your hands, and the seven words engraved in the imperial hall should be remembered."
"Yes." Zhao Youtang nodded vigorously, wiped away his tears, and his hand stopped in mid-air, "Sister, I remember, my mother once went to the library pavilion, she never went to that kind of place, she, she, did she go to turn over any ancient books." ”
Yu Ling was taken aback, the library cabinet brought together the books collected by Zhao Guo for thousands of years, maybe he was right.
"Let's go, go to the library and ask the female officer to find out what books your mother has read." Yu Ling pulled him and ran out of the hall, maybe things would take a turn for the better.
