Chapter 167: Cutting the Weeds and Eradicating the Roots
Hetai really didn't understand, when the mother concubine was there, she was only conceived in her belly, so she was favored by her father in every way, and she did not hesitate to allow her to be the prince. The mother concubine went, and she didn't even care a word. He is not a pity for the position of the crown prince, and until now he does not want to do anything Ninety-Five Supreme.
But he just didn't understand why all of a sudden, his father's love for him changed. Is it because the mother is gone? Why is the mother no longer able to give himself family affection and care, so he takes back all his affection. Not to yourself at all!
So before he was two years old, how did his father treat him? Hetai has no memory at all. I only hope that Concubine Su can solve her doubts.
Concubine Su shook her head, "The emperor is cold to you, not because Concubine Rong went." ”
Her face was hidden in the shadows of the candlelight, and her teeth clenched her graceful lower lip, revealing a faint grayishness, as if it was about to fade away from the next words.
"After you were born, the emperor was very happy and entertained the ministers at the full moon for you, and he held you on his lap with a heartfelt smile on his face. In all these years, I haven't seen him smile like that. Concubine Su lowered her eyelashes, feeling lost and sad, "Everyone can see that the emperor is going to fulfill his promise." And he really brought it up. ”
"When you were one year old, at the palace banquet, he finally opened his mouth, and he said, "I once said that if Concubine Rong wins the prince, she will be the crown prince. No jokes. But it was too coincidental that Concubine Rong suddenly fainted and coughed up blood. He shouted to pass on the imperial doctor, and returned to the palace with Concubine Rong in his arms. After that, Concubine Rong's body became weaker and weaker, and she was terminally ill, but in fact, the poison had attacked her heart. hung on his life with all kinds of good medicine and tonics, and only survived until a year later. ”
And the emperor said half of what he said that day, but it made Luo and Yang uneasy, and Luo at that time may have known that it was difficult for him to have children, so he was concerned about Concubine Rong and was also very good to you. She is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it. She just wants Concubine Rong to be willing to entrust you to her, and she also vaguely stated to the emperor that if Concubine Rong goes, she is willing to accept you as the heir of the main palace. In fact, she just took a fancy to the position of the crown prince. Since you can get the position of the crown prince, it is also a good strategy for her to push the boat along the river. And you are only two years old, and when you were raised, you will naturally be grateful to her as a biological mother. If she has a biological child in the future, it is okay to get rid of you and replace you. If not, she will not lose. ”
Hetai was completely stunned by Concubine Su's words, the emperor really had the heart to make himself the crown prince, it was not a joke, he didn't say anything about Concubine Rong. It's a real promise.
His eyes were like two knives, and every glance he looked at Concubine Su was extremely sharp, as if he wanted to see her thoroughly and see if what she was saying was true.
"At that time, Concubine Rou had already given birth to Lin'er, which was Heyan. is the same prince, as long as the crown prince is undecided, she has the same opportunity, she wants the emperor not to make you the prince, there is only one way, that is, to make Concubine Rong no longer favored, so that the emperor hates her and hates you. So she thought of a poisonous plan to frame Concubine Rong for having a personal affair with someone, I don't know how she did it. One day I went to look for her, because she took the initiative to warm up with me, so during that period of time we had a deep sisterhood, I went to her, and the palace maid didn't stop me. After entering, she overheard that she was discussing with her old grandmother about framing Concubine Rong. Then it happened, and I think she must have done it. ”
Hetai took a few steps to her, grabbed her wrist, and squeezed it hard, and Concubine Su let out a muffled snort of pain.
Concubine Rou actually slandered her mother's reputation, that woman, she couldn't get rid of her hatred after killing her a hundred times! And Concubine Su in front of her was indifferent when she heard their plot, and she was not a good person.
"You know, you know, why don't you say it, you're also her accomplice!" said Hetai in a deep voice, a touch of ruthlessness lit up in his eyes.
"I, I admit it, I am ashamed of Concubine Rong in this matter, but I am also helpless, and I am also for self-preservation. Concubine Rong has the support of the emperor and her life is still in danger, I am a person who has no backing and no favor, what ability do I have to provoke them, and even if I say it, will the emperor believe me? Concubine Rou will not let me go. And I thought that when this matter was discovered, she should not do it again, who knows that she still did it. Besides, even if she doesn't do it this time, there will be a next time, and a next time. Su Guifei's black and white beautiful eyes were full of panic.
She regretted it at this time, how could she say that she leaked her mouth when she said it, and this paragraph should be hidden. But if he disappeared, how could he explain how he knew about Concubine Rou's conspiracy? It's only strange that Hetai came suddenly, and he didn't even prepare. Otherwise, if you smooth out the story first, you will be able to speak seamlessly and pick yourself clean.
"Moreover, I think the emperor and Concubine Rong are so good, how can they believe it? Unexpectedly, the emperor will believe it. Concubine Su was anxious, and threw out these words, indicating that she hadn't said anything about the future, and reminded Hetai not to do impulsive things, in case she accidentally hurt herself, there was no way to know what would happen next.
Hetai was really attracted by her words, yes, the emperor loves his mother so much, and he has no previous favor even after being disfigured, how could he believe in Concubine Rou's treacherous plan. As soon as he let go, he pushed Concubine Su back and said coldly, "You go on." ”
Seeing that he let go, Concubine Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's just that he has a lot of strength, and a random push and shove also made her almost fall, although she didn't fall, but this push hit the solid wood chair behind her, and the jade bracelet on her hand collided with the wood, and broke and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
She steadied her feet, bent down, picked up the two broken bracelets scattered on the ground, wiped them on her sleeves, and threw them away, as if the bracelets were cherished by her, and even if they were broken, they were still regarded as treasures and could not bear to be discarded.
Concubine Su sighed, not knowing whether she was sighing for her present or the concubine she was back then. A wry smile crossed his lips, and he said, "The emperor actually believed it, that incident happened when Concubine Rong was dying, the emperor didn't go to see her again, I don't know what kind of state of mind she was in when she died, whether she had any grievances, resentment of the emperor, or resentment of the people who hurt her, or all of them, or no one at all." Concubine Rou made things difficult for her and punished her maliciously, she endured it silently, maybe she was born with no resentment. And if you see it thoroughly, in fact, in this palace, death may be a relief. In the last sentence, she was talking about Rong Concubine, and she seemed to be saying it to herself.
She walked slowly to the window, walking very slowly but still stumbling for a moment, and then looked up at the clear light in the air outside the window, and her voice was as cool as night, "One is prosperous, and one is lost." As if thinking of herself, herself and Hebi, Concubine Su sighed again, and then continued, "Concubine Rong has lost her favor and lost her life, and you have also lost the emperor's love." The emperor has never said anything about making you the crown prince, and he has also alienated you. The queen naturally understood this, so she didn't mention the matter of accepting you into the main palace, so you were taken over by the queen mother. was able to live in the palace of the Queen Mother. ”
Hetai sneered, everyone knows that no matter what, it is impossible for the son of a concubine who has fornicated with others to become a prince. No wonder the emperor doesn't like himself. There is a shadow in my heart. No wonder other princes and princesses are also alienated from themselves, they are all explained by their respective mothers, and no one wants to get close to someone like themselves who has no future.
In other words, there is no opportunity or an exit, and it is not necessarily better to be caught in the struggle for power.
But Su Guifei's next words shattered his thoughts at the moment.
"But even if you entered the palace of the Queen Mother, even if Heyan was later made the crown prince, even if it seemed that you were no longer qualified to threaten the crown prince, but Concubine Rou did not stop. Do you remember a few years ago when you almost died hunting in the mountains? It was her careful arrangement, but unfortunately you picked up a life, she couldn't make a plan, and she had another plan, and bought off the ministers of the court and the central government with a lot of money, and asked the emperor to ask the prince to ask for the prince to take it personally, that incident seemed to be chosen by you out of desperation, but in fact, her original intention was you. But I didn't expect you to come back alive, sometimes I wonder, is this the will of God, your life should not be extinguished, no matter how hard they try, they will never be able to kill you. ”
He Tai was born in the royal family, and he seems to have stayed out of the matter all these years, but he also knows that the battle between the princes and the past dynasties is the most dangerous. After he didn't have a mother concubine and lost the emperor's love, he actually had no advantage at all, so the minister stood on the side of Concubine Rou, which was undoubtedly the right choice.
But they didn't expect that they had already killed Concubine Rong, and they didn't pose any threat to them, but they still didn't let go of themselves and were bent on killing themselves. The hunt a few years ago turned out to be a layout, no wonder the guards were separated from him, no wonder he strayed into the beast forest. It's all a conspiracy, it's all a layout.
"I don't think Concubine Rou will give up easily, she is bound to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots! Besides, now that you are becoming more and more prosperous, she must be like a great enemy in her heart, and she regards you as a great trouble in her heart. Concubine Su reminded.
It seems that they can only rest assured when they die. Hetai sneered, but unfortunately, she couldn't get her wish.
In addition to avenging his mother's concubine, for his own safety. Concubine Rou's life is also going to be decided! Luo's family, sooner or later, he won't be able to escape! Use them to sacrifice the spirit of the concubine in the sky.
He subconsciously wanted to say something, but Concubine Su interrupted him and continued: "So, from the moment you were born, to be precise, when Concubine Rong was pregnant, you were destined to be a thorn in the side of others, even if you don't fight or fight, they won't let you go." Although Concubine Rong is gone, the emperor also made Heyan the crown prince, but even if the prince ascends to the throne, as long as you are still there for a day, Concubine Rou will not be at peace. What's more, it is not certain whether the crown prince can succeed to the throne smoothly. ”
"What do you mean by that?" asked Tsurutai coldly.
The moon rises, shifts, and the moonlight permeates through the broken window, as light as a cicada's wings, as cold as winter snow, and sprinkles on Hetai's shoulders. He was intertwined with the candlelight and the moonlight, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he looked at Concubine Su with an ugly face.
