Chapter 1: Shock
Twilight quadrangle, sunset molten gold.
Cheng Haitang, leaning against the closed palace gate of Lianyun Palace, gradually couldn't support himself, and slid down the palace gate little by little until he was completely seated on the ground.
The emperor didn't drink the cup of poisonous wine just now, but poured it into Begonia's mouth without a drop.
She just wanted to sigh, her medical skills are used to save people, she can make poison, and she is still not good at poisoning after all.
The emperor finally refused to even cover it up, and gave her a ride with the poison made by Cheng Haitang himself. Sent away together, as well as the child she was pregnant with five months in her belly.
Two years ago, Cheng Haitang followed King Xian and returned to Kyoto from Yueling to find relatives. Because of family changes, she was taken away by her master in her infancy and grew up with her master in Yueling, Lingnan. The master raised her for fifteen years and taught her a lot of medical skills.
When they were in Yueling, their neighbor was an iron-striking Uncle Feng, his skills were very good, he could make farm tools, and he could also play swords, Uncle Feng's son was Feng Mingze, Uncle Feng taught him to make iron, and also taught him to make all kinds of gadgets with mechanisms.
When he returned to Beijing, King Xian proposed to bring Feng Mingze with him, and he said that he would take Feng Mingze to the capital to see the world.
Cheng Haitang returned to Beijing and successfully found his father, General Cheng Yu, who was the general of Xuanfu Town and held 100,000 troops. In less than half a year, King Xian found an opportunity to carry her into the palace and become a wife.
As soon as I entered the palace, I happened to meet the princess who fell off the chariot, and the fetus in her womb had a sign of miscarriage. Fortunately, Haitang's medical skills are very good, and the imperial doctors all shook their heads at Princess Xian, but she boldly healed and saved Princess Xian's son.
Coincidentally, Concubine Du had just miscarriage, and Cheng Haitang prescribed her a conditioning prescription, and before the emperor ascended the throne, she became pregnant again. The princess and the side concubine all received Cheng Haitang's love, and the backyard was fine.
Cheng Haitang had only been back to Beijing for a few months at that time, and no one was familiar with him, so he couldn't go anywhere.
If it weren't for the fact that the master accidentally fell off the cliff and the bones were gone, Begonia would still be living happily in that idyllic Lingnan mountain village, right? Also, Uncle Feng's family...... Where did Feng Mingze go later? Haitang asked King Xian, and he said that Feng Mingze was in the barracks, and there was no explanation beyond that.
After another half a year, Xie Ruiqi, the king of dedication, ascended the throne as he wished, became the lord of the world, and named Cheng Haitang as a concubine.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, the emperor brought all the daughters of the powerful in the court into the harem, and for a time the three palaces and six courtyards were full of purple and red. The emperor can give everyone even less time.
When he was in Yueling, he said that he wanted to teach her to play chess, ride horses, and take her to visit Kyoto...... Now, there's nothing left to do. What Begonia can do is to count the clouds in the day and the stars in the sky at night in this golden cage-like palace.
Fortunately, after half a year in the palace, she was pregnant with the emperor's child, which made her feel a little relieved. She touched her gradually bulging belly every day and waited for the emperor in Lianyun Palace. But since Xie Ruiqi knew that she was pregnant, he had only seen her once.
The emperor is so beautiful, and this was the case when he was dedicated to the king.
Cheng Haitang thought that his life would go on like this lightly, until two days ago.
Two days ago, Begonia was really bored in the palace, so she took her maid to the imperial garden. Seeing the water released from the Listening Rain Pavilion from a distance, she couldn't help but walk towards the Listening Rain Pavilion, wanting to see what the water spraying mechanism was.
The emperor once introduced to everyone at a palace banquet that this listening to the rain pavilion is equipped with a pumping mechanism, which can pump the water from the pool under the pavilion to the top of the pavilion, and then flow down the corrugated water, just like rain to form a rain curtain.
Haitang curiously walked around the listening pavilion, trying to find out where the mechanism was, but he didn't want to hear the voices of two men. She heard that one of them was the emperor.
Begonia couldn't help but smile on her face, how long had she not seen him?
"Your Majesty, now the Shenji Battalion and the Five Military Battalions are all our people, although one Cheng Yu has been abolished in the Nine Border Town, most of them are already our people, and there are one or two left, and the strength is no longer enough." This is the voice of Himekawa-sama.
"Hmm. Three thousand battalions can be slowed down, all of them are mercenaries, and the number is not large. Cheng Yu's father and son are wasted, but that matter always needs to be implicated in the military power, otherwise it will not be able to block the mouths of the people. Besides, Cheng Yu has a heavy army in his hands, and it is inevitable that he will not have different intentions, especially my uncle Cheng Hanbai, who is not a good discipline. It's okay to be dead. Xie Ruiqi seemed to be knocking on the chess pieces, he said lightly.
After becoming the emperor, he suddenly became suspicious, and he swept away the many forces that helped him ascend to the throne one by one.
Begonia was stunned, is it better to die? Why didn't she understand?
I only heard the emperor ask again: "Is Concubine Cheng's fetus okay?" ”
"If you go back to the emperor, Concubine Cheng's fetus is stable and everything is fine." This is Manfu answering.
"Man Fu, you go on, take care of Concubine Cheng, she is pregnant with my child after all. Don't miss a word in front of her! Feng Mingze...... It's actually a dead eye, and now he still needs him for the god-making machine artillery. Dare to think of the imperial princess? After the Divine Cannon was made, I abolished him! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Begonia stood under the eaves in a daze, the rain curtain was blown by the wind and floated onto Begonia, and after a while, half of his body was wet.
Cheng Yu ...... Is it my daddy's name? ”
She turned her head and looked at the palace maid behind her in a daze, this maid is called Cailian, and she came to follow her after entering the palace. Cai Lian was three steps away from her, and she didn't hear the conversation in the room.
"Cheng Yucheng General Soldier...... It's my mother's father. Cai Lian felt that Concubine Cheng asked strangely.
"My daddy...... My brother...... Brother Mingze...... What happened to them? Haitang's mind was confused, her feet were weak, and she sat on the ground with her stomach.
"! Cheng Concubine Niangniang! What happened to you? ”
Cailian's cry alarmed the people in the house, and soon, Mannai, the emperor, and Himekawahime-sama all came out of the house. Haitang's face turned pale, and she tried to focus her eyes on the emperor's face.
"Your Majesty! You said my father, my brother, and Feng Mingze...... What's wrong with them? She wanted to question loudly, but her voice seemed to come out of her throat, and she couldn't speak or cry.
"Concubine Cheng, you go back first, and I'll explain to you later. Man Fu, you send Concubine Cheng back to the palace. Concubine Cheng's maid didn't serve her master well, so she dragged her down and beat her to death! The emperor did not answer, nor did he look at her more, but turned away with his hands in his hands.
There were already two small waiters next to him, and they dragged Cailian and walked out, Cailian didn't know what was going on, she was so frightened that she lost her voice, and she forgot to struggle for a while.
"Manchu, you say! What the hell happened to them?! Haitang was still sitting on the ground, staring at Man Fu who came to help her with her face up.
"Mother, don't force me!" Man Fu said with a look of grievance: "You just have to take care of the fetus, everything has the emperor~"
Man Fu and a small chamberlain dragged Begonia up from the ground and sent her back to Lianyun Palace with half help and half push.
I also found Cai Qin and Cai Wei, and explained the matter of Cai Lian, so that they could take care of Cheng Concubine.
