208,
The emperor wiped his face and looked at Concubine Yu and Xu Meiren, and walked out of the side hall of Zhaoyang Palace.
"Find a quiet room and take the eldest sister there. Send a safe person to the Xinyang Palace, and let the royal relatives go out of the palace. The Emperor commanded.
As if he was not at ease, he added, "Be gentle, don't scare them, and speak nicely." ”
Cui Hai should be.
Soon, the emperor saw the eldest princess of Shuyang and wanted to bow down, but was already supported by the emperor.
"Eldest sister, today is a good day for Zheng'er, you have been wronged, there is already a conclusion here, the people of Xinyang Hall have already sent a message to send out of the palace."
His expression had regained his warmth, and he did not see the gloom that he had brought about before because of Concubine Hui.
Although the eldest princess of Shuyang didn't suffer any toss, she was old. After staying up for so long, he trembled and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
The Emperor commanded the throne and asked,
"Eldest sister, why are you here? Today's events are the cause of me......"
The emperor sighed in his heart, Xiao Zheng already knew the question of his identity, whether it was openly or secretly, he had never responded positively to the rumors that Xiao Zheng was his illegitimate child.
Now, after Qing Po's narration, what else is not clear about Xiao Zheng?
The eldest princess of Shuyang looked solemn,
"The minister came to disturb in the middle of the night, and he was really helpless."
After she finished speaking, she looked back at the people she had brought over, and several grandmothers and maids immediately retreated.
The emperor understood, and immediately ordered, "Go down." ”
The palace people quickly retreated, and the emperor's voice was a little harsh, "Eldest sister......
The eldest princess of Shuyang bowed and stood up, and gave the emperor a long salute, the emperor was shocked, and quickly stood up to support her, saying,
"Eldest sister, what are you doing here, why are you so gifted......"
The eldest princess of Shuyang said slowly,
"Just now, I met Zheng'er, and he ...... Hanhan said that there was already an old woman who had just exposed the events of the year......"
When the emperor heard this, his face immediately changed.
It's okay, anyway, there must be a conclusion in this matter, and it's not a good way to escape.
He sat silent.
After a while, he said in a hoarse voice,
"Eldest sister, then do you have any good suggestions."
The eldest princess of Shuyang looked at him deeply, and did not answer the rhetorical question,
"Your Majesty, haven't you already made up your mind in your heart?"
The Emperor exhaled.
The eldest princess of Shuyang is calm and calm,
"In my life, as a courtier, I don't flatter, I don't fight for power, as the eldest sister, the so-called love for my brother, I was able to take care of you when I was young, and I would also take your eldest brother's child to your side to raise you when I knew that you would not like it."
"I don't want your eldest brother to have no heirs after his death, just to leave a descendant for your eldest brother, I said this when you found out the truth."
"That's what I say today."
The emperor's heart is moved, even if the emperor has been the emperor for many years, there will still be some soft places in his heart, and the eldest princess Shuyang is the soft point in his heart.
He remembered that when he was young, his mother died of illness, and the imperial sister was worried that he would not have a good time in the palace, so she often went to the palace to take care of him.
The eldest sister has truly become the eldest sister like a mother, and she is also working hard with the other brothers, only hoping that they can live in peace.
During that time, the eldest sister was powerless about those things, how many times she cried in no one's place, and after crying, she had to force a smile.
He once swore that his eldest sister would be well, but later he made people...... He......
The Emperor was silent.
The gentle voice of the eldest princess of Shuyang continued,
"When the horse died, he said that no matter what, Zheng'er, his surname is Xiao, then it will always be the Xiao family."
"He used his life to exchange for Zheng'er's life."
"He did this out of love......
The Emperor muttered, "Eldest sister, I ......"
The eldest princess of Shuyang waved her hand and sighed,
"When the horse decided to die, I hated you, hated you, hated Zheng'er, but what everyone did was their own choice."
"Since you have chosen, you have to be responsible to the end, and it has nothing to do with others."
"Since the pony chose to die for the conscription, what is the use of me blaming you? Of course, there is your persecution, but we are not without the ability to resist. ”
"It's just that I don't want to lose my life again in this world."
The eldest princess of Shuyang said in a calm tone, "The edict you ascended to the throne was said by the emperor himself, drafted by the cabinet ministers, and the ministers can testify. ”
"You are an upright emperor of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, and no one can deny your orthodoxy."
The emperor has been a Ming Jun for more than 20 years, even if he pretends to be good, he will feel a little ashamed after listening to the words of the eldest princess Shuyang.
"Eldest sister, don't say it. Back then, it was my ghost who was obsessed with my mind, and it was my ......"
But the eldest princess of Shuyang said,
"Your Majesty, if you really say it, it's my fault, before you arrived, the colt had already decided to die, and only in this way is the best."
The emperor thought that when he went to the other courtyard, his brother-in-law's expression, the emotion on his face, and the color of shame were even stronger.
The brother-in-law drank the poisonous wine very neatly, only saying that it was for a life, he and the eldest sister were one, he was the husband, and the wife's mistakes should be borne by the husband.
The wind blew the green curtains hanging under the eaves of the palace, as if the poor man was slowly plucking the strings, hovering coldly on the roof beams.
The eldest princess of Shuyang leaned on the arm of the rosewood chair and muttered,
"Zheng'er, this child, was raised by me and your brother-in-law with a pure and kind heart, not a person who loves war and power, he doesn't like intrigue, his ambition is to travel the world.
He has told me countless times that he wants to go out and see how wide the sea and desert are, and he will not be willing to be confined to one place. ”
"The desert, he has seen it, the sea, he has not seen it."
"So, Your Majesty ......"
The eldest princess of Shuyang under the candlelight, her sideburns are already snow-white.
The emperor stood up, took his hands, looked at the layers of domestic and foreign countries, the lights were dim, and turned back and said,
"I will restore his clan status......"
The eldest princess of Shuyang was shocked, "Your Majesty, don't ...... it"
The emperor, as he had done when he was a child, walked up to the eldest princess Shuyang, squatted down, held her cold, boring hand, and said softly,
"Eldest sister, I did stand by and watch the battle back then, but as soon as I received the news of my eldest brother's accident, I also left, at that time I was only the youngest prince, and the brothers above were all more capable than me, who would take refuge in me?"
"My message was received slowly, but I rushed over desperately, or was it late."
The originally calm face of the eldest princess of Shuyang finally collapsed, and big tears suddenly flowed from her eyes, and for a while, her low sobs were left in the room.
There was a slight obscurity in the emperor's eyes, and he half-hung his head.
……
Xiao Zheng dragged Xu Han away from Zhaoyang Palace as if he was sleepwalking.
On the way, I met the eldest princess of Shuyang, and it was Xu Han who told the eldest princess of Shuyang about the matter, and then, the eldest princess asked them to go out of the palace first and return to the house, while she went to see the emperor.
In the carriage, Xiao Zheng was silent, Xu Han held his hand, and comforted him silently.
Today, there is a waning moon hanging in the air, and the moonlight seems to be like a layer of silver white veil softly covering the bluestone pavement.
The moon is hazy, and so are people.
Xiao Zheng leaned against the wall of the carriage.
As soon as he was born, his life was misplaced, and if he continued from here, it would not be bad.
It's just that the trees want to be quiet, and the wind doesn't stop.
He was pulled into the whirlpool, the name Chai Ling, has existed since he was not born, but he has never used it for a day.
From the moment Chai Ling survived, he was like a dead man.
Now, is he going to bring this man back to life?
Or will the emperor bring this man back to life?
Now that the situation is clear, the emperor should make a choice.
The rumors outside that the eldest princess of Liyang were very noisy had not been eliminated, and the young woman here ripped off the last fig leaf.
There is no airtight thing in the world, and if one person knows about one thing, it will be known by the second person, the third person, or even more people.
Reject Xiao Zheng's identity? That's also tantamount to tearing the skin.
The emperor's country is very stable, and his position cannot be shaken, but there are still a lot of troubles in the future.
If it is a faint monarch, or a young and impulsive emperor, he may not recognize Xiao Zheng's identity, which is equivalent to bowing his head.
But the current emperor has been an emperor for more than 20 years, his temperament is calm, and his choice is really unknown to anyone.
He didn't have to fight for a moment at all, and now there were many rumors, so he took this opportunity to solve the matter.
It's just that if you fight on the surface, it's better to clean it up in secret, after all, as an emperor, are you still worried about finding a chance?
Xu Han and Xiao Zheng looked at the waning moon in the sky together,
"You should be glad that things have come to this point, and you know almost everything you want to know."
Xiao Zheng didn't speak, turned his head sideways, and raised his hand to help Xu Han straighten his forehead hair that was blown away by the wind.
"Worries you."
Xu Han shook his head, "I'm not worried. ”
The depression in Xiao Zheng's heart seemed to be blown away, and he smiled, "You have so much confidence in me?" ”
Xu Han glanced at him,
"Anyway, anyway, you are now my husband, and I can afford to support you."
"Even if you go to occupy the mountain as the king in the future, I will be the king of the mountain for you."
Xiao Zheng smiled, she is the king of the mountain, so what is he? Could it be that Mrs. Zhai can't do it?
He shook his head and said,
"Dong Yuan has just experienced the confrontation with the Northern Barbarians, and the people and troops have been damaged, I can't divide my family and country into two because of my own selfishness, if it is ......"
Xu Han interrupted him, "What? Are you still ready to fail to learn from the overlord of Chu to seek death for your so-called backbone? ”
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said funny,
"How is it possible, I want to learn from Tao Zhugong, make all the money in the world, and then take the beauty to the mountains and rivers."
Xu Han glanced at Xiao Zheng and teased,
"Who dares to call beauty in front of you? So you can't be Tao Zhugong, so it's better to be your beauty. ”
Xiao Zheng, "......"
He was originally depressed, this will be a heart congestion, his wife, who has just been married for a day, is like a bully flirting with a beauty, how can he break it?
When Xu Han saw his depressed appearance, his heart couldn't help but rise, but his face was serious,
"Xiao Zheng, when you first knew the truth, you had your small goals, and now, if you have other goals, you can also move forward firmly."
"Even if it is a cub, how soft and deceitful he is when he is young, as long as his wildness remains, when he grows up, he will inevitably become a strong man who can make everyone surrender."
Xu Han's voice was rare warm under the cold moonlight and silver glow,
"Xiao Zheng, you are a natural king."
Any unforgettable love will not be without a reason.
In Xiao Zheng's opinion, from the time he met Huo Han, it was the beginning of his luck.
When he met her, the fate of his life began to reverse, otherwise, what would have happened to him?
When everyone said that you want to retreat and endure, only she said, go and fight, you are a natural king.
Take back what you're for, whether it's the answer you want, or whatever, your destiny should be in your own hands,
Just like what he said to Xu Han when he knew the reason for the defeat of the Huo family's army, if she wanted to rebel, he would follow.
This road is thorny, they go together, go together, go through thick and thin.
Xiao Zheng looked at Xu Han, and only her and the stars were reflected in his eyes.
Xu Han is the same, when she just returned to Xu Han's body, from Huo Han to Xu Han, she couldn't pretend to have anything in her heart except revenge, on the surface she was a normal person, but only she knew it.
She had a kind of anger in her heart that wanted to destroy everything, and at that time she didn't believe in love, didn't believe in love, and didn't even care about human life.
If someone told her at that time, she would also yearn for a husband and wife who promised to be white-headed and life-and-death, and also wanted someone to be happy with her and accompany her for a lifetime, she would definitely scoff at it.
No matter what she faces in the future, she will do her best to go on.
Whether it is becoming a king or losing a villain, or earning all the wealth of the world and traveling together, who knows which ending is good?
……
It was originally a good royal family recognition banquet, but because of the death of Princess Fengping, although the royal relatives who participated in the banquet were not physically damaged, their hearts were under heavy pressure.
Thinking that they will have a shadow on the royal banquet for a long time,
Princess Fengping's death was also found because of the button on the Jinyiwei's clothes provided by Xu Meiren.
It's just a relationship between a harem maid and a brocade guard, and the two have had many private meetings in Reva Palace, but they have never been discovered.
I heard that there was a banquet in the palace, so the defense of the harem, especially the secluded place, was the weakest.
And Jin Yiwei knew about the patrol gap, and took advantage of this stall to have a tryst with the palace maid in Reva Palace.
They have never been exposed, but they didn't expect that as soon as they were discovered, they would be caught and raped by big shots.
The brocade guard didn't see Xu Meiren, only Princess Fengping and her maid, and Father-in-law Qi.
Originally, I killed people and cleaned them up, maybe things wouldn't have been discovered so early, but on the contrary, there were too many people killed, just when Jinyiwei dealt with the maid and Father-in-law Qi and wanted to deal with Princess Fengping, there was a sound of footsteps, and I could only leave with the palace maid.
However, Concubine Hui also designed Concubine Yu to be caught and raped by the emperor in Luhua Palace, but before the plan succeeded, the corpse of Princess Fengping was waiting for her.
And her self-defeating.
Concubine Hui was locked up in Zhaoyang Palace, because there was Xiao Zheng's matter that the emperor needed to deal with, the emperor did not dispose of Concubine Hui for the time being, and even when the fifth prince cried to the emperor to see Concubine Hui, the emperor agreed.
Concubine Hui looked at the five princes kneeling in front of her with a plain face, a trace of sadness and anger flashed in her eyes, and then she dimmed and said with a wry smile,
"It's hard for you to remember to come and see me, but unfortunately, you will have to rely on yourself in the future."
Kneeling before her was her son, but he didn't look like her at all.
When the fifth prince heard what Concubine Hui did, his first reaction was to be frightened, not that he was not guts, but that this matter was too big.
He didn't expect Concubine Hui to be able to imitate even the emperor's handwriting.
In the past, when the third prince was still there, although he was sluggish, it was also because he was born with a noble status, and his mother and brother were also very favored, and he even took others to look up to him.
If you really want to say that he did anything hurtful, he really didn't do it.
In addition, he has been locked up in the house for a long time, and he is also afraid, saying that he is weak and incompetent.
But he felt that he was not stupid, at least not when he sobered up.
The prince's power has been successful, and now that the prince is moving, he is simply looking for death.
The support of his father is the prince's dependence
Why didn't the third brother understand it at the beginning?
He didn't expect that his mother would do even bigger.
He couldn't figure out who his mother wanted to rely on.
He can't compare to the third brother and the crown prince, and even Xiao Zheng can't compare to him, it's just that he is the son of his father, as long as this point exists, he can't suffer.
If it weren't for the third brother's own death, maybe his father wouldn't have done that to him.
A hundred years ago, they would definitely be arranged well, and the prince, not a villain, as long as his brothers are safe, he will not attack his brothers.
He had an epiphany.
It's just that he didn't expect his mother to be stuck in the horns.
"Mother."
"My son never wanted that position, so why should you? Put yourself in it, can you bear to let your son become a motherless child? ”
Concubine Hui didn't expect the always incompetent child to question herself like this.
Suddenly, her face turned pale, and she said,
"You are the emperor's son, you have a chance, the royal family never needs to back down, what you get by retreating is not preservation, it is a catastrophe."
"No, Mother." The fifth prince showed a bitter smile,
"Who the hell bewitched you, you told your son that the mother who can persuade him to agree, it can only show how strong his power is, such a force, if he really succeeds, what is the son?"
"It's a puppet, I'm sorry for the puppet of the ancestors of the Chai family, the ending of a puppet, is there anything else besides death?"
"Do you want your son to become Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty?"
The fifth prince raised his head and asked Concubine Hui with humiliation.
Concubine Hui suddenly felt that her breathing was not smooth, and she wanted to reach out and pat it, but in the end she raised her hand and didn't go down.
"Okay, you've been locked up for a few years and read a few broken books, so you came to question me"
"Useless things, why can't you become Liu Zhao of the Eastern Han Dynasty."
Emperor Liu Xie of the Eastern Han Dynasty, ascended the throne at the age of nine, abdicated the throne at the age of forty, and during his reign, the name of the Eastern Han Dynasty survived to the death.
A kidnapper who holds the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes.
The only thing worth showing off is that he has lived a fairly long life, and he has been boiling for thirty years as a puppet emperor, surviving a generation of heroes Cao Apu, and Liu Xuande, who has had a bumpy life.
Emperor Liu Zhao of the Eastern Han Dynasty ascended the throne at the age of ten, and after he became a pro-government, he eliminated his relatives, strengthened his national strength, and pacified the Western Regions.
The only pity is that this emperor only lived to be twenty-seven years old.
The fifth prince raised his neck and looked at Concubine Hui, shocked beyond measure, he didn't want to be a puppet Liu Xie, nor did he want to be a short-lived ghost Liu Zhao.
He just wants to find a wife, which is quite pleasing to the eye, and the two manage their relationship, and then have children and be a long-lived idle king.
He didn't understand what Concubine Hui was thinking, could it be that the throne was so important? Even if it is really as short as Liu Zhao, are you willing to live a short life?
The fifth prince's heart was bitter, and he saw disappointment in Concubine Hui's eyes.
Perhaps, the third brother is the mother's good son, after all, the third brother's life is as short as Liu Zhao's, and the funny thing is that the third brother was finally demoted to a concubine.
Concubine Hui didn't want to talk about her son like this, but this was her only hope.
She turned her head away,
"You have to believe your mother, no matter what you do, it's for your good, and you also said that you are the son of your father, and he is reluctant to do anything to you after all."
"It's good if you know, my mother doesn't care about you, you can just take the position when the time comes."
The five princes' eyes widened, and they didn't understand what this meant, could it be that their mother was still reluctant to let go at this time? Or aren't you ready to let go?
What else could she do?
What kind of people did she team up with?
She's carrying everything down, but if that's the case, what is he? Hide behind his mother and watch his mother die.
No matter how mixed he is, but he's human.
If you are a human being, you will have a sense of shame.
And his integrity has not been lost.
He took two steps on his knees and approached Concubine Hui,
"Mother, my son never wanted that position, and when my son gets married, I will take you out of the palace, isn't it?"
"Don't you want to hold your grandson? When the time comes, the son and the princess will bear you twelve grandchildren. ”
"You hold one every day without a duplicate of the same."
"Mother, the third brother fought because his father allowed him to fight, and he was the whetstone of the prince, can't you see through it?"
"What are you fighting for now? Who's fighting? Second prince? The Four Princes? You only see your unwillingness, why don't you want to think about others? ”
"Mother, wake up."
Obviously, the weather was very good and the sun was blazing, but the heart of the fifth prince was really gloomy, and he didn't know where he should go.
Since my mother is locked up here, my father must have watched my mother's every move, and I found out that my mother was clearly looking for her own death.
But he couldn't watch his mother kill herself. Although, she is actually standing on the edge of the cliff!
The fifth prince was in a good mood when he saw Concubine Hui, and he felt that he begged Concubine Hui for intercession, and if he could not die, it would be good to go to worship the Buddha.
Unexpectedly, it was even more annoying after seeing it.
He walked out of Zhaoyang Palace and out of the palace in despair, the palace has been built, and he will get married next month, but with a wife, his mother will be gone.
There really is no such thing as a double dharma in the world.
Just when he didn't know what to do, he saw Xiao Zheng...... Stand in front of a horse-drawn carriage.
In front of the carriage stood a man in a robe and a crown...... Women, the little prince is really different, and now he is still wearing men's clothes.
When he looked over, he saw a girl who was smiling and smiling, and this girl turned out to be his fiancée.
This will actually smile at the little prince like a nymphomaniac.
The five princes were very unhappy.
This laugh is too harsh.
Immediately, he slapped his thigh and beckoned to Xiao Zheng and shouted,
"Small signs, this side ......"
Over there, Xiao Zheng saw that the faces of the five princes were dark.
Has this five princes not been beaten enough? They even called him 'Little Signs......
Who gave him guts and courage?
Immediately, he looked at the five princes who came over with a dark face,
"What are you doing shouting so loudly?"
The fifth prince decided to put the old mother on the edge of the cliff aside first, not to care, but to find a way to pull his mother back.
He jumped over, hooked Xiao Zheng's shoulder, looked extremely affectionate, and raised his chin at Xu Han.
"Look at you like that, when you get married, you're in and out, right?"
Hey, it seems that before they got married, they were also in and out of pairs, anyway, they were all harmonious.
Xiao Zheng didn't want to talk to the five princes to lower his IQ.
But the fifth prince had something on his mind, and he was messing around, saying,
"By the way, is this your first time cooking meat? In the past, when you went in and out of Fengyue Place, you must not have held back. ”
Xiao Zheng is simply ......
Immediately, he said to Zou Peilan towards Xu Han,
"Miss Zou, there are several flowers in His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince's Mansion now, all of which were moved from Lanxiangfang at the beginning."
"You have to be careful when you enter the house."
The fifth prince suddenly jumped up and covered Xiao Zheng's mouth,
"You...... You...... You...... Where do I have ...... What...... What...... All dismissed...... At the beginning, my father made me reflect on it......"
"Besides, am I like that? I'm clean and self-conscious. ”
As he spoke, he smiled at Zou Peilan, hoping that his fiancée would not listen to Xiao Zheng's nonsense.
He had something in his heart, and he just wanted to pull Xiao Zheng away, so he immediately pulled Xiao Zheng away, and said in a low voice,
"I have something to talk to you about. You come with me. ”
