Chapter Eighty-Five: What Is It Like to Waste It?
Concubine Yan suddenly raised her head when she heard the voice, her face was full of tears, embarrassed, and exclaimed in surprise: "Your Majesty!" Then she saw Concubine Ling and Dechun standing behind Emperor Entropy, she was secretly shocked in her heart, and gritted her teeth angrily. Suddenly, she suddenly saw Feng Xuanjing walking in leisurely, she couldn't help but be annoyed, anyone in her inner room could come and go freely? When she saw Feng Xuanyu's indifferent and deep face beside Feng Xuanjing, her heart fell little by little, and a fear that she had never felt before surged out in the depths of her heart.
Emperor Entropy was furious, stepped forward, tore off Concubine Yan, fell to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "You... You wicked woman, actually... Harboring evil intentions... Kill Xi'er..."
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Yan woke up instantly, she couldn't care about the pain all over her body, she got up and fell on the boots of Emperor Entropy, and cried in a mournful voice: "Your Majesty spared the concubine, the concubine was just confused for a while, then... Concubine Xi's ghost is still gone, she killed Zhu'er, and now she is coming to harm me again, begging Your Majesty to save her concubine..."
Emperor Entropy angrily kicked down Concubine Yan, stepped on her boots, his eyes were full of hatred, and he said bitterly: "Xi'er is simple and kind, how can you hurt her?" My harem allows you to be so ruthless! It's really a big moon misfortune! With that, he looked up in grief.
Concubine Yan struggled desperately, and wanted to get up and beg for mercy several times, but Emperor Entropy's foot strength was abnormally heavy, so that she couldn't move, so she could only whine and choke: "Your Majesty spare your life!" The concubine should die, and she should not be jealous of Concubine Xi. However, the concubine did not wronged her, and she did not have a relationship with the personal guard..."
Emperor Entropy was furious, his shoulders trembling slightly, and his gaze almost erupted in flames. With one hand, he pulled out the whip wrapped around his waist, and hew! A hard blow was slapped on Concubine Yan's body. There was a terrible cry and a wail, and the whip tore through the clothes to reveal a shocking bloodstain.
Concubine Ling and Dechun looked at each other, gasped, and did not say anything to persuade each other. They all know that Emperor Entropy was brave and good at fighting when he was young, conquering the south and the north, and dominating the battlefield, thanks to the two treasures on his body, a short whip and a long sword. It is said to be an ancient evil thing, so the Entropy Emperor is like a god helping to fight, invincible, and the Solid Moon Kingdom is the head of all the countries. At the beginning, when Concubine Xi was framed, he drew his sword in anger and injured her. Tonight, he whipped Concubine Yan, it can be seen that he is extremely sad, he uses the treasures of the two concubines, Xu is very much in love and hatred!
Feng Xuanyu ignored it indifferently, and his cold eyes did not shine with a trace of waves.
Feng Xuanjing sighed faintly, and couldn't bear to look at it directly.
Emperor Entropy trembled slightly, he didn't expect Concubine Yan to say anything and mention taboos. At the beginning, Concubine Xi protected each other until death, which became a heart disease that Emperor Entropy still can't let go. For more than ten years, everyone kept silent, no one dared to mention this taboo, and as soon as Concubine Yan touched it, she was viciously beaten by this short whip.
Emperor Entropy grimaced, ignoring her wailing, and shouted, "Someone! Escort her to the cold palace, cut off the concubine, abolish the title, and be imprisoned for life! With that, he walked away with indignation.
Concubine Yan heard the words like thunder, she suddenly stopped crying, she was shocked and stunned for a while, she opened her lips slightly, but she couldn't say a word, watching the cruel and indifferent back leave, despair completely spread her body and mind, and she fainted.
Several black-clothed guards and two sturdy old ladies penetrated in, picked up Concubine Yan who had fainted, and walked away indifferently.
Suddenly, the room is cold and quiet, it is really empty when people go upstairs, leaving delusions in the world!
Concubine Ling shook her head gloomily and left side by side with Dechun.
Feng Xuanjing glanced back at Feng Xuanyu, and then turned around and left.
Feng Xuanyu's deep eyes looked around the inner room for a moment, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he walked to the outer room, looking at the maid who was still drowsy, squinting, locking his sword eyebrows, and exuding coldness all over his body.
Su Liruo got into a carriage at the back door of Linglong Palace in a panic, Yu Guan Yang spurred the horse to gallop, and the night shadow sat on the side of the front of the carriage, his face was solemn and solemn, and soon, the carriage disappeared into the autumn night.
Su Liruo leaned on the cushion on the back of the car, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she slowly closed her eyes, immersed in the non-moving, as if she had fallen asleep, but her rich eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing that she was not asleep. Actually, how can she sleep? At this time, her heart was like a river wave, turbulent and churning, impacting her thoughts and drifting towards Wutong Palace...
Su Liruo took a sip of tea, calmly relaxed, and then told her about being robbed to the prince's mansion in her sleep, when she said that she took out the non-entropy sword and assassinated the prince, her lips were pale, and her tone trembled slightly, which showed how desperate and frightened she was at that time!
Concubine Ling got up, took her into her arms, and murmured, "It's okay!" It's okay! It's all gone..."She stroked Su Liruo's back, a warm current permeated Su Liruo's heart, she raised her head and smiled indifferently at Concubine Ling with tears.
Dechun was sad for a while, thinking of the prince's absurd and debauched behavior, she felt even more pity for Su Liruo, and sighed helplessly.
The atmosphere was heavy and quiet, Concubine Ling slowly let go of Su Liruo, leaned over slightly, looked at her and said, "Yu'er tried her best to take the charge, and the mother concubine knew that there must be a secret in it."
Su Liruo was stunned, and sighed in his heart: he always does not hesitate to carry everything for her!
"It's just... The assassination of the prince is a matter of great importance, and Yu'er is reckless and charged. annoyed Your Majesty, if this matter is deliberately exaggerated by the court's ill-intentioned ministers, won't it ruin his future? Fall into the brutal siblings, criticize the world's laughing stock! Concubine Ling straightened up slowly and said quietly.
Su Liruo was startled, her eyes widened, and her breath stagnated: she didn't expect this!
"Okay, Ruo'er don't worry, the matter has been solved!" Seeing that she was nervous, Concubine Ling hurriedly comforted her in a soft tone.
Su Liruo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and stared at Concubine Ling suspiciously.
Dechun stepped forward and said: "My father has doted on the seventh brother since he was a child, and although he has been separated for many years, he still favors him. Besides, although the seventh brother took over the prince, the father did not want to believe that the seventh brother would do something that violated the ethical norms. That is, he ordered a thorough investigation of who was the woman who stayed with the prince that night? At this time, Jiang Xueke came out and admitted..."
Su Liruo was shocked: "What? She..."
"Jiang Xueke is the only daughter of Captain Jiang, how can he tolerate such a humiliation with his beloved daughter with the strength of Captain Jiang! The father had no choice but to try his best to cover up the prince's ugly deeds. After all, such shameless crimes as kidnapping brothers and daughters, insulting side concubines, and ruining women's reputations are simply despicable! Dechun said: "So, my father ordered to block the news about the assassination of the prince, and prepared to announce to the public that the prince was suddenly seriously ill!"
Su Liruo pondered for a moment, stared at his eyes and asked, "However, the matter is not over?"
Dechun nodded and sighed lightly: "Well, Concubine Yan has always been arrogant and domineering, no one in her eyes, the prince suffered this accident, how could she give up?" It's a ruckus in the harem, and my father also has a headache for this. After all, the crown princess has just given birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, and no matter how much the father favors the seventh brother, he can't ignore it! ”
Su Liruo was stunned and lowered her eyes: "What should I do?" Her heart moved, so she looked up at Concubine Ling, blinking her calm and crystal gaze: "Mother Concubine Xuan Ruo'er entered the palace, isn't there any good plan?"
"If you're so smart, your mother is reluctant to let you take risks." Concubine Ling and Dechun looked at each other, their expressions slightly heavy.
"Mother, but it doesn't hurt to say it, after all, things started because of me, if you can share one or two worries, I am willing to go all out!" Su Liruo said busily.
Concubine Ling paced slowly, silent, and finally, stopped, and said with a sideways face: "Ruo'er first listen to the mother concubine and talk about Yu'er's biological mother, Concubine Xi..."
Su Liruo nodded hesitantly.
"Before Concubine Xi entered the palace, His Majesty favored Concubine Yan alone and was favored." Concubine Ling's eyes were deep, containing sadness, and her tone was slow and low: "Concubine Xi is a very special woman, although she has a worldly appearance, she is arrogant and indifferent by nature, and she doesn't know how to get along with others. And the harem is a place where interpersonal relationships are complex and easy to hate, if there is no scheming and means, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect myself. Concubine Xi looks super-earthly and has a pure mind, which is even loved by His Majesty, but she does not like the constraints of the mundane, yearns for simplicity and freedom, and is also ignorant of love, and her behavior is also shocking. His Majesty spoiled her, let her temperament, and did not restrain her, but this harmed her. ”
Concubine Ling paused, as if she didn't want to touch the sad past that had been sealed for many years, and after a while, she muttered: "At that time, Concubine Yan, who had fallen out of favor, came to the door diligently and flattered. Finally fell into a trap and made a big mistake..."
"How... What's wrong? Su Liruo was surprised, and had a bad premonition.
"When Concubine Xi first entered the palace, she brought two close people with her, one claimed to be her uncle, who was said to be a miracle doctor, and the other was a personal guard, a young man." Concubine Ling's tone became deeper and lower, almost as heavy as a rock: "What is the harem?" How can she tolerate a man appearing in the concubine's room, although His Majesty favors her, other concubines will not let her go. After Concubine Xi's uncle left, only Concubine Xi and her personal guards were left in the Liuli Palace, although there were a few maidservants in the palace, Concubine Xi rarely called, and her daily drinking and living were all taken care of by personal guards. In such a drunken state, she slept with the guard, and happened to be witnessed by His Majesty..."
"Ahh Su Liruo was stunned, clenched her hands tightly, clenched them into fists, she bit her lip, and didn't dare to imagine the scene.
"Your Majesty was immediately furious, but Concubine Xi was arrogant, she didn't know how to advance or retreat, she didn't know how to beg for mercy, and she didn't care about His Majesty's face, but instead spoke against it, and desperately protected the guard..." Your Majesty... His Majesty was furious, and stabbed her with a sword..."
Su Liruo covered her lips in shock, could she imagine how angry and disappointed Emperor Entropy was? will hold a sword to hurt the beloved. How did Concubine Xi feel heartbroken? will regard death as home, and bear the decisive sword. She remembered the scene of Mo Xuanju by the pond, and her heart throbbed: it turned out that she had repeated the same mistakes with him, Emperor Entropy and Concubine Xi's heartache!
Dechun held Concubine Ling, couldn't bear to see her so sad, and said softly: "Niangniang has a pure heart, and has always treated Concubine Xi as a close relative, teaching her etiquette and virtue, so that she can spend more than ten years in the harem safely." Niangniang has done her best, if Concubine Xi knows under the spring, she will definitely feel Niangniang's heart. ”
Under the persuasion of Dechun, Concubine Ling calmed down her sadness.
"Concubine Xi... Afterward... How? Su Liruo couldn't help but tremble, and her eyes were red.
"Your Majesty ordered the palace to be sealed and imprisoned, and two years later, she disappeared and died..."Concubine Ling lamented, and closed her eyes sadly.
"Your Majesty is really ruthless! actually imprisoned her for two years, if you really love her, how can you be willing to torture her for so long? But he didn't want to forgive her! Su Liruo felt heartache and blurted out.
Concubine Ling slowly opened her eyes, tears were shining, and said in a low voice: "If you don't know, Concubine Xi is cold and arrogant, and she was stabbed in the heart by His Majesty's sword, I am afraid that she has already been desolate and does not love the rest of her life." His Majesty had hoped that she would bow her head and admit her mistakes, even if she had said a few words, but she would rather fall to the end than hang her neck. ”
Su Liruo was puzzled: "Isn't Concubine Xi thinking about the prince?"
Concubine Ling's eyes were gloomy, and she raised her head with difficulty and sighed: "At that time, His Majesty ordered the mother concubine to take Yu'er away, and from then on, she was not allowed to step into the Liuli Palace." Poor Yu'er has never seen his mother again, not even the last time..."
"She... is not a ruthless mother, why is she so ruthless to the prince? Su Liruo felt more and more sorry for Feng Xuanyu, who suffered bad luck when he was young.
"... There is nothing that can be done, and no one can control what happens next. Dechun helped Concubine Ling to sit down, then turned around and said, "Ruo'er, this matter will be free in the future, and the eldest sister will talk to you in detail." Announcing that you are entering the palace today, you really need Ruo'er's help..."
Su Liruo remembered something important, eased her face, hid her grief, and said, "Eldest sister, please speak!"
"When Concubine Xi had an accident, the seventh brother was expelled from the wasteland, and the culprit was Concubine Yan's pot of wine, but unfortunately no one traced it back then, and the matter was over." De Chun Dao.
"Yes! Concubine Yan was so vicious, killing Concubine Xi and harming the prince, didn't Your Majesty realize that Concubine Yan had ulterior motives? Su Liruo said in shock.
Dechun smiled bitterly: "My father is the king of a country, how can he bear his concubines challenging his dignity?" A moment of anger is often regretted for life. ”
"This is also true, Concubine Yan's clever tongue is like a spring, and she is ingenious, but Concubine Xi is stubborn and arrogant, and would rather die than bow her head, so that Concubine Yan's murder with a knife will be achieved!" Su Liruo sighed with emotion.
"If you know why the seventh brother returned to the Moon Kingdom? He surrendered to the barbarians, subdued the wild herds, reclaimed the barren, was already prosperous, and his reputation was shocking, but he put down his body and returned to the sad land that had abandoned him and chased him? Dechun stared at her, his eyes full of helplessness.
Su Liruo's heart was shocked, and he lost his voice: "He... He for revenge? ”
Concubine Ling nodded gloomily, "Yu'er is arrogant and arrogant, following Concubine Xi's temperament, he has endured for more than ten years, how can he let go of the person who framed his mother?" The mother also knew that he had endured hardships and hardships to achieve today's brilliant achievements. It's just that his heart is as deep as the sea, which is difficult to detect, and he won't easily calm his mind. The mother concubine was worried day and night, afraid that he would be unruly and be slandered by people with evil intentions, which would hurt the feelings of father and son, and cause turmoil in the court. ”
Su Liruo secretly pondered the meaning of Concubine Ling's words, and her eyes flashed, as if she had thought of something!
Concubine Ling continued: "Next, his target must be Concubine Yan, but Concubine Yan is Your Majesty's favorite concubine after all, if he does it, it will only embarrass His Majesty."
Su Liruo already understood, her eyes were calm, and her tone was firm: "What does the mother concubine need Ruo'er to do?"
Concubine Ling's expression was solemn, but her eyes looked at her approvingly, leaned over and whispered, and Su Liruo nodded frequently: "Okay, Ruo'er must live up to the trust of the concubine!"
So, the soldiers were divided into two ways, because the chief steward and the night shadow escorted Su Liruo to the Linglong Palace, and ordered the sleeping hole of the night maid, Yu The chief steward guarded the back door of the Linglong Palace and waited for the answer, Concubine Yan handed it over to Su Liruo, and the night shadow secretly protected her.
Concubine Ling and Dechun then went to Huiren Palace, and Emperor Entropy was very happy when he saw them, and ordered the imperial dining room to prepare supper. Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, Father-in-law Nian came in, saying that someone from Linglong Palace had come, and Concubine Yan was crazy again, talking nonsense, and asked His Majesty to visit.
Emperor Entropy sighed, thinking that she was grieving the prince excessively, and she was always frightened and emotionally unstable in the past few days, so she went to Linglong Palace with Concubine Ling Dechun.
Feng Xuanyu received a secret message from the night shadow and hurried to Wutong Palace, but was told that Su Liruo had left the palace and returned to the palace. Feng Xuanyu frowned, and when he was puzzled, he saw Feng Xuanjing flashing sideways, and hurriedly went to Linglong Palace.
Feng Xuanyu followed him to Linglong Palace quietly, and heard the terrified screams from Concubine Yan's bedroom, his eyes sank, and he strode in, and unexpectedly found that Emperor Entropy, Concubine Ling, and Dechun were all there. And Concubine Yan broke down and cried about the events of the year, like an enchantment, confessing her past evil deeds, prostrating herself on the bed, chattering endlessly.
Feng Xuanjing didn't seem surprised by his arrival, and Feng Xuanyu naturally understood that he was nothing more than leading him to Linglong Palace.
It's just that why is there a faint hint of familiar fragrance in Concubine Yan's bedroom? His eyes were cold, and a heavy question filled his heart!
