Chapter 185: The Past

Empress Dowager Sun is also full of helplessness about this matter.

"What's so good about Princess Xinyun? , Imperial grandmother, can't you fulfill your grandson? Why does this have to be the case? ”

Empress Dowager Sun sat on the edge of Lu Qingze's bed, stretched out her hand to hold Lu Qingze's hand that couldn't move, "Ze'er, the imperial grandmother is a person who has come over, and she knows who is really suitable for you, listen to the words of the imperial grandmother, marry Princess Xinyun into the palace, and when the time comes, the feudal kingdom will stand on your side and support you, and when the time comes, you will be able to inherit the throne again." ”

Empress Dowager Sun also had the same idea as Emperor Qi He and Empress Wan, and felt that Lu Qingze was really a more suitable candidate for the throne, so this Empress Dowager Sun wanted to pave the way for Lu Qingze.

"My grandson doesn't want to inherit the throne, isn't it good to let my second brother inherit the throne?" Lu Qingze is also very troubled about this matter in his heart, most of the people around him want him to inherit the throne, but this is not his original intention, he does not want to inherit the throne, he just wants to be an idle prince, talk about wine and mulberry with the woman he likes, travel the mountains and play in the water, rely on the countryside, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to draft, isn't the life happy?

"Lu Yunchen's kid is not suitable, his mind is not pure, if the country falls into his hands in the future, I am afraid that the people will live and work in peace and contentment, it will be good to be able to eat, and then our old Lu family's country will be defeated by that kid!"

Empress Dowager Sun immediately shook her head and began to say her opinion, "A few years ago, he was still a little famous, and he did some things, but now his behavior is becoming more and more ridiculous, and even those ambitions can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, he is not suitable to inherit the throne now!" ”

Empress Dowager Sun also had some opinions on political affairs back then, and the Emperor Taishang really listened to her opinions and set up Qi and Emperor Lu Qizhi as the crown prince, so that there is today's political communication.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Sun has always felt that she will also choose from the future emperor.

"The mourning family believes in the vision of the mourning family, Ze'er, only you, only you come to inherit the throne of your father, can make the people's lives better and better, only you can achieve it, so even if the mourning family is at the risk of being hated by you, they must clear the obstacles for you and find a few women who can help you for you, instead of being like Ji Tian'an, who will only find trouble with you and delay you."

Empress Dowager Sun's voice, in the end, also began to soften.

"But this king doesn't think that Ji Tian'an is a trouble, on the contrary, the princess Xinyun you are looking for for your grandson, grandmother, that is the real trouble!" Lu Qingze did not agree with Empress Dowager Sun's words:

"Imperial grandmother, the trouble you are talking about is just the trouble you feel yourself, for your grandson, all the women in this world, except for Ji Tian'an, there is no difference for your grandson! No matter how good those women are, in the eyes of their grandchildren, they are not as good as Ji Tian'an. ”

Empress Dowager Sun was obviously shocked by Lu Qingze's words: "Ze'er, the mourning family really didn't expect that you would love Ji Tian'an so much, for her you are willing to disobey the words of the imperial grandmother again and again, and argue with the imperial grandmother again and again, Ze'er, you have never been a person who acts like this, love is a word, throughout the ages, it has always hurt people, not to mention that you are a dignified son, and you are in the royal family, you have to bear your responsibility as a royal child, which you can never escape, You can't enjoy stability for the rest of your life, and besides, as a royal prince, you still want to covet real love? ”

When the Empress Dowager Sun was young, there was also a person she really liked, but in order to gain power, that person did not hesitate to use her to get everything, and used her love for him to trick her into the palace and win the heart of the current emperor.

In the midst of that big pie, he promised her that as long as she could win the attention and trust of the emperor, help him rise to prominence, help him rise to the top, and one day, when he was powerful, he would come and spend the rest of his life with her.

What a false lie, a discerning person can see the clue at a glance, but back then, she was indulged in the gentle township, she was really naΓ―ve and she believed it, and this trust was five or six years, in the past five or six years, she continued to approach the emperor, in the process of approaching, she continued to seek power for men, but he also has some talents, but all along, need an escalator, an opportunity.

Because of her, he got it.

The emperor valued him more and more, gave him endless power, endless trust, he gained the status of prime minister, gained the emperor's respect, and saw that everything was about to come to an end, just when she thought that everything could get back on track, the news came that he was going to marry a wife.

The night before he got married, she made an appointment with him to meet him, and that side had spent all her expectations, and in that side, she asked him why he was like this, and he didn't answer, but he kept confessing and apologizing to her, but he didn't say a word of explanation.

That day, she burst into tears, but she couldn't say a word, and the two looked at each other speechlessly, he, kept repenting, she, kept crying, what a close person she was, why did she become like this? In the end, she could only collapse and say: "From now on, there will be no more relationship between you and me." ”

In this way, he became the youngest prime minister in the capital, and she also became the most favored queen, but many people didn't understand why the relationship between the queen mother and Ji Cheng faded overnight.

But only she knows clearly that since Ji Lanshan married someone else, she has been full of resentment towards this prime minister's mansion, and she dedicated her youth to Ji Lanshan and the harem grievances.

In addition to one after another women competing for favor around, there is nothing else, and the people around her have only endless calculations for her, and there is no sincerity, at that time she was full of collapse and almost went to death, but fortunately, the emperor at that time stopped her, gave her a new life, and gave her a chance to regain the rest of her life.

Since then, she no longer believes in sincerity, and she also feels that in life, the emotional pleasure of the two is the use and calculation of the other party, for her, Ji Tian'an is like this to Lu Qingze.

She always felt that Ji Tian'an would harm Lu Qingze's future, so she tried her best to stop it.

"Why not? Imperial grandmother, aren't you and the imperial grandfather in love? Why don't you let us do it yourself? ”

When Empress Dowager Sun heard this, she smiled, and there was infinite desolation in that smile: "Yes, it's really a pleasure for two people." ”

In fact, the Emperor Taishang really loves the Empress Dowager Sun, but in this emotional entanglement with Ji Lanshan, she dedicated all her love to Ji Lanshan, because the Empress Dowager Sun has lost confidence in love in her heart.

Some people always say that when you are young, in love, you can't use up your passion too early, otherwise when you are old, you will only be tired and weak, and you can't catch up with what love and love you are pursuing.

It is precisely because Empress Dowager Sun has no feelings for the Emperor that Empress Dowager Sun can stand out among the three thousand women's palace pets, become the final winner, and become the one who has the last laugh.

Because she is special, she never competes for favor, never clings, has always maintained a cold and arrogant temperament, and she can also have some opinions on political affairs, therefore, the emperor at that time liked to contact her very much, because it was easier to contact her, and there was no calculation, but the emperor at that time did not know that this seemingly perfect queen had no feelings for him.

This made Empress Dowager Sun understand that feelings are wrong and feelings are harmful.

In her youth in those years, Empress Dowager Sun had paid too much to be with Ji Lanshan, and at the same time, she had done too many wrong things, her whole head was broken and bleeding, her body was scarred, physically and mentally exhausted, and in the end she didn't get any good results, but after Ji Lanshan was gone, she had everything.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Empress Dowager Sun really hates Ji Tian'an, which is a large part of the reason.

The prime minister of the year, Ji Lanshan, is the father of the current prime minister Ji Hejun, that is, Ji Tianan's grandfather.

After that incident, Ji Lanshan has been trying to make up for her debt in order to make up for it, the Empress Dowager Sun back then was also kind and gentle, and perhaps her love for Ji Lanshan has not dissipated, so many years, although the Empress Dowager Sun has been resentful of Ji Lanshan's ruthlessness, but she has not made any substantial suppression, because she clearly knows in her heart that Ji Lanshan can go from a poor scholar to a generation of prime ministers today, she has paid a lot of price in it, and she doesn't want her hard work to be wasted in those days, so he has not retaliated against Ji Lanshan.

Because now, Empress Dowager Sun also knows clearly, but the relationship between her and Ji Lanshan is destined to have no result and will not have results.

It's just that later, in the gentle township of the Emperor Taishang day after day, she finally got emotional, but she didn't expect that in those days, her stomach had not moved, and on Ji Lanshan's side, children were born one after another, and four were born in a row.

Exactly four, what is the concept? Not to mention four, she just wanted and couldn't get one.

God is sometimes so angry and unfair, obviously the person who should be compensated the most is her, and he is the one who is hurt the most, but he doesn't give her this opportunity, and the person who should take revenge the most is pregnant one after another in his belly.

In fact, she doesn't resent Ji Lanshan, what she really resents is actually Ji Lanshan's wife, that is, the woman who married Ji Lanshan, that is, the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion today.

Empress Dowager Sun was jealous of the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion and got everything she wanted, in fact, she just wanted to spend her life with Ji Lanshan in plain and ordinary life, but this eventually became a luxury.

At first, the torments when she first entered the palace, she couldn't recall the loneliness and bitterness of those days and nights, she relied on the beautiful future blueprints that Ji Lanshan painted for her, but she finally succeeded, but her expectations were finally shattered.

In fact, she is stupid, it is clear that what Ji Lanshan said is full of flaws and groundless, anyone with a clear eye can see it, she has already entered the palace at that time and became the concubine of Huang Shang, how could Ji Lanshan, a person who loves power so much, choose to fly away with her after getting all the power? Besides, at that time, she had already become the concubine of the Emperor Taishang, how could Ji Lanshan, a person who was so afraid of death, elope for her at the cost of being beheaded?

In fact, she should have seen it earlier, but unfortunately it was too late when she saw it, in fact, from the time she promised Ji Lanshan, from the time she stepped on the road to the palace without hesitation, she had no chance to turn back in her life.

And there is no chance between her and Ji Lanshan.

It's just that she was too young at the time, she couldn't understand it, she couldn't understand it, or rather, she didn't want to understand, she would rather be immersed in the false future that Ji Lanshan said, and would rather do everything for Ji Lanshan.

This is a woman, a woman who is immersed in love and can't extricate herself.

Originally, Empress Dowager Sun's resentment towards the Prime Minister's Mansion had come to an end with a falling out with Ji Lanshan.

It's just that she didn't expect that she wouldn't be able to conceive a few years later, or rather, she watched the children in the Prime Minister's Mansion come out one after another, but she was diagnosed by the imperial doctor and concluded that she couldn't conceive.

This was the biggest blow to her, and it was even more severe than when she knew that Ji Lanshan was going to marry a wife and have children.

At that time, the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion didn't know about the emotional entanglement between her and Ji Lanshan, and she often came to the palace with her child.

The intuition between women has never been wrong, the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was not dealing with her at that time, the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was supporting the imperial concubine of the day, and it was indispensable to fight with her between words, how many times she held back her anger and wanted to execute the other party, but she still didn't start, until that day, she asked the minister's wife and the palace concubines to come out to enjoy the flowers, when enjoying the flowers, the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion did not stand firm because she was holding the child, and pushed her down, it was not a big deal to be pushed down, just stand up and pat the ashes.

Coincidentally, that time, Empress Dowager Sun actually learned that she was pregnant.

It's just unfortunate that because the month is too small, the fetus has not yet formed, and because it was pushed down by the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the fetus was miscarried and was not saved.

Empress Dowager Sun still remembers the scene of that day in her mind, it was the most unforgettable and uncomfortable day in her life, that day was beautiful and beautiful, the flowers in the imperial garden were in full bloom, the fragrance of flowers was bursting, the fragrance was fragrant, and a few little bees were dancing among the flowers, it was really lively.

What a day! Empress Dowager Sun can still think of the comfort and despair of that day.

The sun shined on her body that day, and it was also extraordinarily comfortable, she squinted her eyes, and felt that her whole body was extraordinarily warm, she liked this kind of life.

But when Empress Dowager Sun fell, she didn't feel anything, thinking that if she fell, she would just stand up, and it would not have any effect, at most, she would be laughed at by a few concubines, but the smile would pass.

It wasn't until after the fall that Empress Dowager Sun only felt a pain in her lower abdomen, and the pain between the contractions continued to intensify, that he felt that the matter was serious, she couldn't bear it anymore and began to moan, and the palace maids and eunuchs beside her called out to the imperial doctor:

"The queen mother has fallen, call the imperial doctor quickly!"

The old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion knelt beside her, constantly apologizing and admitting her mistakes, her face was irrepressible fear and worry, she knocked out that the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was not pretending, but she had no time to take care of it, and the pain spread all over her body.

"Queen Mother, the concubine knows that she is wrong, the concubine body should not be frizzy, and now that she has injured the queen mother, the concubine body should die!"

At that time, Empress Dowager Sun was still crying out for pain, and she no longer had the strength to marry the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, in fact, her relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion was somewhat relaxed at that time, but because of this incident, it fell into the freezing point again.

Empress Dowager Sun's whole face was pale and bloodless, and suddenly, I don't know who was in the crowd and exclaimed: "Ah, the queen mother is bleeding!" ”

"The queen won't have a miscarriage, right?"

"Do you remember the last time the queen came to Kwai Shui?"

The crowd didn't know who was asking.

Such an inquiry made Empress Dowager Sun suddenly realize something, it seems that it was indeed the last time she came to Kwai Shui, it seemed that it was two months ago, and she had not taken it seriously, could it be ......

Empress Dowager Sun's eyes tightened, and she fainted unacceptably.

The scene was chaotic for a while, and the people around her were constantly running and fleeing, only the Prime Minister's Lady knelt on her knees, and kept her head lowered beside her.

In the end, Empress Dowager Sun couldn't bear the pain, and finally, she fainted, and it wasn't until she woke up that the personal maid next to her told her what had happened!

At that time, the emperor was very angry, and in a fit of anger, he threw the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion into the prison, and also got angry at Prime Minister Ji Lanshan, asking for an explanation.

When she heard the words at that time, she only felt that the expectations of the whole person were gone.

What hope is there for this? The child who was finally obtained, but in the end, he still couldn't keep it.

She burst into tears every day, and at night she dreamed of a child crying to her and asking her, "Why don't you want him to come into this world?" ”

Asked every night, she cried out every night, and when she cried until she was sad, she also woke up crying.

I have been dreaming for many days in a row, night after night, every day is a dire version of the torment, if only nothing happened, Empress Dowager Sun suddenly had some extravagant hopes.

In those days, the Empress Dowager Sun was very decadent, until later, Ji Lanshan came to the door, and the Emperor Taishang proposed a solution in order to compensate the Empress Dowager Sun, that is, to behead the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion to show the public, in order to set an example.

After all, the child in the womb of the Empress Dowager Sun is the child of the royal family, according to the importance that the Emperor attached to the Empress Dowager Sun at that time, I am afraid that the child born by the Empress Dowager Sun will definitely be the prince when the time comes.

And the Emperor Taishang at that time was also very important to Ji Lanshan's family, so although he murdered the royal heir, he did not involve others, which can be regarded as a great grace.

Some things, when you don't have them, you will only feel regret, and you won't feel anything, and you won't have any other thoughts, however, once you get it, you lose it instantly, and this feeling will feel heartbreaking and unbearable.

For the Empress Dowager Sun at that time, the death of her own child was such an idea.

For the Emperor Taishang, he gave too much expectation to the Empress Dowager Sun's stomach, but when the expectations were disappointed and turned into a disappointment, even if he was an emperor, he would feel uncomfortable like an ordinary person.

It's just that what can be done now, they can't change it, so for the emperor, the only thing that can be changed is to kill the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Empress Dowager Sun still didn't expect Prime Minister Ji Lanshan to come to the door, Empress Dowager Sun always thought that Prime Minister Ji Lanshan was the only one in his heart, and everything else was just a stepping stone, just like she was at the beginning.

It's just that he didn't expect that Ji Lanshan would come over and beg her for other women.

How to say his mood at that time, it was a little indescribable, Empress Dowager Sun never thought of talking to Ji Lanshan again, it turned out to be such a scene.

That night, Ji Lanshan came with a rainy night, and he broke into the palace alone, without anyone behind him, or fortunately, in his martial arts, Gao Qiang was not discovered by others, otherwise he was afraid that it would cause a bloody storm.

When she came, Ji Lanshan first kowtowed to her several times, all of them were sonorous and powerful, and there was a sound on the ground, and when she raised her head, the Empress Dowager Sun saw that Ji Lanshan's forehead had been bruised by the hard ground, and the forehead was still oozing blood, and the whole person was wet, because of the rain just now, the rain fell down between Ji Lanshan's hair, and the rain mixed with blood stains fused together, which was quite shocking.

This reminded the Empress Dowager Sun of the blood flowing from her stomach that day, which was endless, and she also left her own children, which is really a painful memory.

"What are you doing, get up quickly, hurry up." Empress Dowager Sun said with a straight face, Empress Dowager Sun didn't know why? , I just don't want to see Ji Lanshan kneeling under her, this appearance makes Empress Dowager Sun not know Ji Lanshan's intentions.

Ji Lanshan just continued to snort his head at the Empress Dowager Sun, until the head of the kowtow broke and the blood flowed, and the whole person was broken: "Weichen is here to beg the queen mother, one thing, and ask the queen mother to agree." ”

Empress Dowager Sun's face changed when she heard this, and she guessed what it was about, and suddenly, Empress Dowager Sun opened her mouth and intercepted Ji Lanshan's next words:

"This palace thinks that Prime Minister Ji Cheng may be joking, all along, this palace and Prime Minister Ji have nothing to do with it, has Prime Minister Ji forgotten the previous agreement between this palace and Prime Minister? What is there to plead with the Prime Minister? What can this palace do for the Prime Minister? What can you help the Prime Minister? The prime minister still don't laugh, this palace has always cared about the affairs of the court, I'm afraid that the prime minister has found the wrong person. ”
