In the deep palace of the Xiqi Imperial Palace, there is only a dim lamp on the left and right, and the fire is swaying in the night wind, which looks a little weird.

The young emperor stood in front of an ancient portrait with an indescribable sadness on his face.

Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps in the quiet room, slow and heavy.

"Queen Mother!"

He called out and didn't look back.

The woman's face looked a little dull under the lamplight, and it seemed to be much older.

"Heng'er, are you worried?" The woman stepped forward and looked at the young emperor with a lot of pity in her eyes.

"Queen Mother, Erchen is wondering, isn't it, I'm really not suitable to be this emperor?" Zhao Yuheng turned around and held his mother's hand.

The original Concubine Tong and the current Queen Mother have deeper grief in their eyes.

But he barely smiled, shook his head and said, "How can you listen to that group of people talking nonsense!" You are the heir personally chosen by your father, you are not suitable to be this emperor, who else is suitable? ”

Zhao Yuheng still shook his head: "I think God is punishing me, punishing me for sitting on this throne, in the past four years on the throne, natural disasters have continued everywhere, the people are in hardship, and now the treasury is empty, and the harem has no heirs to continue the bloodline."

All of this is like a punishment from heaven for his sons. My son is really skeptical now, if his father was too obsessed with going his own way, and I was too smug. ”

The Queen Mother stretched out her hand to cover her son's mouth, and said without doubt: "Nonsense! My son is the most suitable person in this world to sit in this position, not because of anything else, but simply because you are the son of me and your father. ”

Seeing his mother's insistence like this, Zhao Yuheng didn't say anything more, just held his mother's hand tightly.

Empress Dowager Tong naturally knew the pressure of her son sitting in this position, she took out a hand and gently stroked his hair, tears flashing in her eyes: "You shouldn't have built those things for the queen mother, but now it's making those people make irresponsible remarks about you." ”

"My son has always been leaving the east, and since he came back, he has been worrying about his mother every day, and he has never done any filial piety when he comes back, and his son has no other ability." Zhao Yuheng reluctantly smiled and comforted his mother, "If everyone thinks I'm incompetent, then be incompetent!" In incompetence, the son cannot be disadvantaged to the queen mother. ”

"You stupid boy!" After the Empress Dowager Tong said a word, she didn't say anything more.

"Liu Guifei gave birth today, I'm afraid it's ...... again"

"If there is a demon reborn, the queen mother will kill it again!" The son's words couldn't be spoken, but the Empress Dowager Tong was unusually resolute.

"Actually, the queen mother doesn't need to be so angry, son...... Already able to accept it. ”

"The mourning family doesn't believe it, and they can't finish killing these demons."

In this matter, Zhao Yuheng knew that his mother's worries were even more than his own, just because now in this woman's heart, he was the only one she cared about.

"That's it! Queen Mother, let's go to Liu Guifei to have a look! Zhao Yuheng helped the Empress Dowager Tong and walked outside.

It seemed that it was about to rain, and the night wind was blowing very strongly, and the group was so mighty that they could only hear the sound of clothes flying.

The palace maid carrying the lamp in front seemed to be a little absent-minded and didn't know what she was thinking.

Zhao Yuheng actually didn't have much hope for the child who was about to be born, but he just felt sad.

He is the king of a country, and he doesn't even have a healthy child.

Liu Guifei's place of residence is not far away, and it is also because she has always been very favored.

In the whole palace, there were a lot of people coming and going, and the lights were bright, but there was no sound that should not be interesting, and the atmosphere was extremely suppressed.

It wasn't until they walked in, and then they fell to their knees, and the mountain shouted the voice of Banzai Chitose.

Zhao Yuheng waved his hand, motioned for everyone to get up, and then helped the Empress Dowager Tong into the main house, and sat down on the Taishi chair that the palace people hurriedly moved out.

It was originally an extremely happy thing, but because of what happened to the previous concubines, everyone had panic on their faces.

The concubine gave birth to a child, and the emperor personally came, what a mighty Longen, but in the eyes of everyone in this room, it seemed that they saw the arrival of death.

"Queen Mother, you sit, the woman gives birth, and there are others! There is no way to be in a hurry! Seeing his mother standing there anxiously, Zhao Yuheng pretended to smile easily.

It was as if it were an ordinary woman's birth.

Empress Dowager Tong turned her face to look at her son, the smile on her face was so reluctant that it seemed to be broken, and then she sat next to her son a little nervously.

The wind outside grew tighter and roared as if it were about to devour everything.

He is the king of a country, and he has been in the position of calling for wind and rain since ancient times.

However, even if he is the king of a country, he can have what many people can't get, and he can do things that many people can't, but there is no way to stop the wind from roaring, let alone ask the woman in the delivery room to give birth to a healthy child.

Suddenly, a strong flash of lightning flashed in the night sky, illuminating the somewhat dim places under the light as bright as day.

Just a moment later, the darkness immediately returned, even darker than before.

There was a loud "boom", and Jiao Lei seemed to split overhead, which sounded a little terrifying.

In such late autumn, thunder is rare.

As the saying goes, abnormality is a demon, so what is the reason for today's abnormal thunder?

"Heng'er! You listen! After the thunder, Empress Dowager Tong suddenly grabbed her son's arm and said excitedly.

"What?!"

"The cry of a child!" Empress Dowager Tong looked at her son with surprise in her eyes.

Zhao Yuheng immediately held his breath, and sure enough, he heard the cry of an extremely weak child coming from the wing room over there, and then he reacted, why was there such a loud voice.

A palace maid fell directly to the ground as if she had fallen in: "Huh...... Tell Your Majesty that the mother gave birth to ...... Gave birth to a little prince! ”

Her forehead was covered in water, and she didn't know if it was because she was sweating in too much of a hurry, or because it was already raining outside.

Before the palace maid could raise her head, she felt a gust of wind blowing past her, and the sound of small and hurried footsteps sounded everywhere, and when she looked up again, there was no trace of His Majesty on it.

Zhao Yuheng helped the Empress Dowager Tong, and the two of them hurriedly walked to the delivery room.

Everyone had a smile on their faces, not because of the arrival of a new life, but because of the joy of the rest of their lives.

Approaching, the crying was still there, and a smile finally appeared on Zhao Yuheng's face.

It seems that the heavens are really endless!

Before he walked to the door of the delivery room, the deacon and eunuch in Liu Guifei's palace came over, with a sneer on his face: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother gave birth to a dragon son, and the slave congratulated Your Majesty and the Queen Mother." ”

"Good! Reward! Zhao Yuheng waved his long sleeves, and the smile on his face finally expanded.

However, just as he finished speaking, the crying of the child who was still there stopped abruptly.

Suddenly, all the people in the entire palace were also like the cry, frozen in their respective movements, and became sculptures.

Sweat fell from the old eunuch's forehead, and the abrupt cry was not because the child was tired, there was only one reason for such an abrupt termination.

Empress Dowager Tong's body shook, and Zhao Yuheng supported her with a numb face.

Finally, someone stumbled out of the delivery room, and the sweaty forehead hair was the opposite, which was diametrically opposed to the palace maid just now, as if it was a kind of fear of seeing death.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yuheng's voice was still calm, which was a little surprising.

"Little ...... The little prince he ...... He...... Not...... It's out of gas...... I'm angry! ”

The expected answer is not so difficult to listen to in the ear.

There was a heart-rending voice of a woman coming from the delivery room, such a deep pain.

Empress Dowager Tong suddenly woke up from Fang Cai's sluggishness, and said angrily: "The slut still has the face to cry, she can't give birth to a son for me Xiqi, she still has the face to cry, and she was dragged out and beheaded by the mourning family!" ”

Zhao Yuheng barely stabilized his mind, and then comforted his mother and said: "One or two are like this, why should the queen mother be so angry, be careful of being angry." ”

"These are all useless, are they admitted to the harem just for enjoyment? Originally, they were allowed to reproduce their children, but since they couldn't do it, it was better to die one by one to the mourning family! ”

Empress Dowager Tong was really moved at this time, Zhao Yuheng thought that it was all because she loved herself, and never thought that the matter of the dead baby was her own.

That's why all the blame will be put on these concubines who gave birth to dead babies.

But he couldn't say anything, so he finally waved his hand and lightly said to the person kneeling behind: "Just listen to the Queen Mother!" ”

There were people stumbling out of the room, their hair sticking to their cheeks, and there was something strange about it on a night like this.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, our children are gone, Your Majesty, it's not the fault of the concubines! The woman was dressed in thin clothing, and there were spots of blood on her white undershirt.

A trace of unbearability flashed on Zhao Yuheng's face, and the Empress Dowager Tong turned around, pointed at her angrily and said, "What is your intention to be an unclean woman who dares to rush in front of the emperor?" is so unlucky, do you want to bury my Xiqi Guozuo? ”

Liu Guifei looked at the woman who had passed away, stunned and unable to speak again, as if all her courage had been exhausted in Fang Cai's words.

Empress Dowager Tong was not strong herself, and after she was so angry, she coughed, and Zhao Yuheng's face suddenly showed a look of panic: "Queen Mother, are you okay!" Queen mother! ”

"Don't you want to give the mourning family that slut justice?!"

Zhao Yuheng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you hear the Queen Mother's words?!" ”

The Liu Guifei on the ground looked at the pillow person who was talking about love in the past with a pair of eyes, and suddenly smiled sadly, and she didn't know who she was laughing at, and then suddenly stood up and rushed directly towards Zhao Yuheng.

The screams rang out, but there was no expected assassination, just the woman's limp body sliding down the wall, leaving a pool of red blood.

All of a sudden, the rain was pouring in. 638
