Chapter IX.5

Apparently, he has grown into another version of himself. Exactly like his childhood self, withdrawn, suspicious, and thoughtful. Worse than. This kind of him made Duguyan feel disgusted.

But he had to admit that the reason why his son became what he is today has a lot to do with his irresponsibility and never fulfilled his father's obligations.

He withdrew his hand, closed his eyes and did not speak for a long time, and after a long time he swallowed his saliva and said, "Go down, as if you were a courtier!" ”

Yes, the emperor's house always fades a little bit of family affection.

Now that the prince has gone, even if it is found out that the matter was done by Dugu Yanxiang, what is the use, now he is Dugu Yanxiang such a son. He didn't want to ask any more.

Dugu Yanxiang saluted and said, "Erchen retires." Turning to leave, he silently thought in his heart: Father, you still don't believe me after all.

Dugu Yan looked at his son's distant back and thought: Maybe with his character, he is more suitable to be an emperor than me. More suitable than me to be the master of this Jiang country.

The death of the crown prince mourned the whole country. Emperor Rongzong was even more ill at this point, and it was difficult to manage the government.

Naturally, among the royal family, there is only one person who can participate in court politics and will participate in court politics.

Therefore, it didn't take long for Dugu Yanxiang to act as the prisoner of the country. A few months later, Emperor Rongzong died, and he naturally succeeded to the throne and became a great treasure.

Although there is a lot of discussion in the world about Dugu Yanlong's death, thinking that Dugu Yanxiang killed his brother and seized power, no one can find evidence of this incident. This matter has become an unsolved mystery in Jiang Guo's political arena.

"Queen Mother, do you say that the death of the eldest brother has something to do with me, or does it not have anything to do with me?" Dugu Yanxiang raised his head and looked at the Queen Mother indifferently.

The Queen Mother was shocked, and she understood: Although he said so, I am afraid that these are not the only things he has done.

After all, this child has grown into a sinister, decisive, and selfish person. Perhaps this is the nature of the emperor!

Dugu Yanxiang got up and walked outside.

The Queen Mother was helpless, she knew that his heart had become hard and unhurried, and no one could get in.

But for the sake of Jiang Guo's peace and herself, she had to fight again, she had to try again to see if Dugu Yanxiang would still miss her mother and son.

With a heartbeat, she ran to the big stone pillar in the middle of the Buddhist hall. only heard the sound of "Kuang", and the Queen Mother slowly fell to the ground.

Dugu Yanxiang heard the voice behind him and hurriedly turned around, but saw the queen mother slowly falling, he hurriedly stepped forward to hug her and said, "Queen mother, why are you persecuting the child so much? ”

The Queen Mother looked at him, endured dizziness and said anxiously: "Son, I can follow you in everything, but I can't do this." ”

"The queen mother doesn't have to say it first, how are you?" Dugu Yanxiang asked anxiously. He picked up the Queen Mother and walked to her bedroom.

The queen mother looked at her son's anxious appearance for her, knowing that she had won this bet, and he still had her as the queen mother in his heart after all. She closed her eyes and fainted.

Shangguan Beishang finished dressing up in the attic of the Mercy Courtyard, she pushed open the door with joy and walked out.

As soon as he went out, he bumped into Ning Chun'an who was waiting there, and when Ning Gonggong saw her dress, he was not surprised, and saluted: "Master of the palace, the emperor has returned to the palace in advance, and said that he told you to wait for him, and he will go back when he goes." ”

Shangguan Beishang was not surprised by Ning Chun'an's calmness, after all, he had also served Dugu Yanxiang for many years, and he knew most of the things.

Shangguan Beishang smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for him in the house." ”

Then he turned and went back to his room. But how did she know that this kind of waiting was a long night.

Shangguan Beishang stood in front of the window, looking at the pool full of hibiscus, his heart was very happy, thinking about all these years, but he still remembered that I loved the hibiscus the most. It's really strange that he has a heart.

When he comes tonight, I will tell him what I want. It's not in vain that he has put a lot of thought into arranging for me.

But Dugu Yanxiang didn't come for a long time, Shangguan Beishang went out to see and see, except for Ning Chun'an, there was no one else.

She asked Ning Chun'an, "What did the emperor do, why didn't he come yet?" ”

"The servants don't know, but someone from the palace reported that the queen mother suddenly contracted an emergency, and the emperor hurriedly went back to the palace." Ning Chunan said.

"Oh." Shangguan Beishang returned to the house in response. She thought in her heart: It turned out that the Queen Mother was sick, no wonder he was in such a hurry to return to the palace. Wait! It should be here in a minute.

In the Fukang Palace, the Queen Mother, who had been knocked unconscious, finally woke up.

Dugu Yanxiang saw that the Queen Mother had woken up, and hurriedly asked, "Queen Mother, how is it?" How do you feel? ”

The Queen Mother gasped and said weakly: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, the mourning family is much better." ”

"Come, Erchen asked someone to boil ginseng soup for you, drink some while it's hot!" Dugu Yanxiang took a bowl of ginseng soup from Aunt Xu's hand and said.

"Okay, the mourners will come by themselves." The Queen Mother slowly got up, sat down on the pillow, and took the bowl in Dugu Yanxiang's hand.

Dugu Yanxiang saw that the queen mother was fine, and said, "Then the queen mother should rest early after drinking the ginseng soup!" The sons and daughters retired first. ”

When the Queen Mother saw that Dugu Yanxiang was leaving, she shouted in a panic: "Emperor." ”

Dugu Yanxiang turned around and glanced at the Queen Mother, his eyes were a little complicated, and he said in a slightly crying voice: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the sons will not go." Erchen understands that even if this throne is taken by Erchen for her, Erchen will never get her. ”

The Queen Mother was relieved and often breathed a sigh of relief. But she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her son. Yes, to be an emperor, there are too many things to give up.

Looking at Dugu Yanxiang's departing back, she felt that the back was heavy and lonely. She couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her son, and shed two lines of tears.

Dugu Yan Xiang walked out of Fukang Palace and drove directly to Concubine Rong's Palace.

It was late at night, and Concubine Rong had been snubbed by the emperor for several months, and she would never have thought that the emperor would come to her palace tonight, so she went to bed early.

When the accompanying eunuch reported that the emperor had arrived, Concubine Rong couldn't help but feel flustered that she didn't have makeup.

She had just gotten up in her nightgown, and before she could take the car, Dugu Yanxiang walked in.

Concubine Rong hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The concubine asks the emperor for peace." ”

Dugu Yanxiang glanced at her and said coldly: "Get up!" ”

Concubine Rong asked with some confusion: "The emperor is so late, why did he come to the palace of the concubines?" ”

"Why, I can't come and see you?" Dugu Yanxiang asked rhetorically.

"No, it's not." Concubine Rong replied hurriedly.

"Alright, I'm tired, let's rest quickly!" Dugu Yanxiang said and walked towards the bed.

Seeing this, Concubine Rong didn't say anything, just walked to the side of the bed and rolled up a quilt, and went to the recliner on the side with a playful hold.

Dugu Yanxiang saw her roll up the quilt and leave, so he naturally knew what she was going to do.

But tonight, he came here to make a break with Shangguan Beishang. How could he let Concubine Rong go.

So he grabbed his arm, blocked Concubine Rong's way, pushed her down on the bed, and pressed her under himself.

Like an angry beast, he frantically ripped off her clothes. There is no tenderness, no love. Only the endless madness and anger.

This night, there was only almost crazy clouds and rain, this night, Dugu Yanxiang indulged all his anger and vented his unwillingness on Concubine Rong.

Love to the depths, resentment to the depths, all the unwillingness and anger suppressed him. When he looked at the person under him, he couldn't help but shed a tear.

At this moment, Dugu Yanxiang finally understood that he had completely lost his relationship with Shangguan Beishang in this life. I'm afraid this fate has been over since the day he became emperor, but he is reluctant to admit it.

At this moment, he understood that in this world, no one can stop you from giving up on anyone, the only one who can stop you is yourself.

Concubine Rong felt a drop of crystal and warm things fall on her face, but she didn't dare to ask anything, because she knew in her heart that Dugu Yanxiang's tears were not shed for her.

Still, Dugu Yanxiang did not appear. Shangguan Beishang stood alone in front of the window all night, and he didn't show up.

In the second half of the night, it began to rain in the sky, and the raindrops fell on a peach blossom tree in the courtyard, knocking down a pair of peach blossoms that were open side by side.

And this branch just stretched out to the window of Shangguan Beishang, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad as she watched the rain ruthlessly knock down that peach blossom.

People are obviously a good pair of flowers, but this sky is going to break them up. It's to keep them alive. It's so heartless.

A gust of wind blew into the house, and Shangguan Beishang couldn't help but sneeze. But she still stood there, still waiting for the person she wanted to wait.

Finally, it was dawn.

But Dugu Yanxiang still did not appear. Shangguan Beishang didn't close his eyes overnight.

Shangguan Beishang seemed to understand something, she thought that he probably wouldn't come again, but in the end he still couldn't let go of this world and the world. Can't be with her wholeheartedly.

She still paid the wrong person for this affection.

She lowered her eyes melancholy. Looking at my dress, I can't help but feel funny and silly. What lives up to in this life, what red makeup treats each other, is just a joke, a ridiculous and terrible joke.

At this moment, a man walked in, and his arrival confirmed her thoughts even more. She didn't turn to look, because she had no expectations for someone to come.

"Let's go back! He won't come again. A voice said.

Shangguan Beishang heard that this was Mu Nanfeng's voice, and asked softly, "Why are you here?" ”

"He sent to tell me that you are here. Last night, he stayed in Concubine Rong's palace. Mu Nanfeng looked at her with some distress and said.

Shangguan Beishang's body shook slightly, but he quickly recovered his emotions, turned around and smiled, and said, "That's it, it's okay." Then I knew everything. ”

Mu Nanfeng looked at her sad smile and her somewhat haggard face. I couldn't help but feel a little distressed, but I was still amazed by her appearance.

The way she looks in women's clothes, it's so beautiful. But all this is not for him.

Finally, Shangguan Beishang's mood changed from a joyful expectation to a complete disappointment.
