Chapter 240: A Painful Price
Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a bloody story.
When I met the Ruan family, Jun Qingyuan was just a prince who was not very favored, and the queen mother at that time was just an ordinary concubine.
But Jun Qingyuan is a very ambitious person, on the surface, he doesn't seem to have the intention of fighting for the throne, but in fact, he has been secretly cultivating his own power, but unfortunately, he is not very lucky, and it seems that he can't satisfy the first emperor with anything.
It wasn't until he met Nguyen that his life finally took a turn for the better.
It was an outing, and the eldest prince, who was favored by the first emperor, noticed his ambition and wanted to get rid of him quietly, probably because he felt that he was not favored anyway, and he would kill him if he killed him.
But the eldest prince never expected that because of his assassination, the fate of himself and Jun Qingyuan would be changed at once.
Jun Qingyuan was obviously forced to jump off the cliff by his people, but in the end he didn't die, and he also had ironclad evidence that he was chasing him.
Even if the first emperor didn't like Jun Qingyuan anymore, it was impossible to tolerate this kind of thing, fratricide, in the emperor's family, was the most inevitable, but it was also the behavior that the first emperor hated the most.
As a result, it can be imagined that the eldest prince was exiled and was not allowed to return to Beijing for ten years.
And Jun Qingyuan was a blessing in disguise, and the first emperor felt a little guilty about him, so he was crowned a prince.
And the reason why he was able to escape death that time was because of Ruan's family, Ruan's family found Jun Qingyuan at the bottom of the cliff with only a trace of breath left, and rescued him.
Of course, not all coincidences are simple coincidences, Ruan's original intention to save people was purposeful, after she woke up Jun Qingyuan, she only told him that she had fled from other places to Kyoto, and had no relatives or friends.
When he was young, the Ruan family was very beautiful, and he was Jun Qingyuan's life-saving benefactor, and finally helped Jun Qingyuan get the evidence that the eldest prince chased and killed him, and personally appeared as a witness, and since then, Jun Qingyuan's luck has also begun to improve.
It is no surprise that such a woman fell in love with her.
Later, Jun Qingyuan became more and more favored by the first emperor, and he used almost everything he could use, but this position beside him was left to the Ruan family without any hesitation.
He could have married a woman who would have helped him, but he ended up marrying the fleeing Ruan family, and this made the first emperor trust him even more, feeling that he really had no intention of taking the heir, and was the most authentic and reliable of his many sons.
But in fact, he is the deepest one in the city.
It's just that in the royal family, he is also forced to be helpless, and he always has a leeway for his brothers and sisters, but those so-called brothers have killed him again and again.
He has no choice, for the sake of the grand cause and for self-preservation, he can only step by step, stepping on the flesh and blood of his own brother, and climb to the supreme position little by little.
For this, he also paid a terrible price.
What is this price, Jun Qingyuan only vaguely mentioned it, did not say it specifically, Jun Rongzhan and Xingnuo did not ask, in the second half of the story, it is what they want to know.
Ruan is the only woman Jun Qingyuan has ever loved, and after he ascended the throne, Ruan naturally became his queen.
At that time, there was only one woman in the harem, but unfortunately, for several years, she was not pregnant, and for the sake of the descendants of the royal family, Jun Qingyuan had to fill the harem and recruit virtuous concubines.
