Chapter 276: Imperial Power Has No Family Affection
Shen Congxi knew that he had said the wrong thing and didn't eat anymore, so he stood up in frustration and was about to leave, but Shen Shunhua hugged his arm: "Congxi, what's wrong?" Did something happen to Kun'er? You tell my sister! ”
Shen Congxi sighed, lowered his head and didn't speak, and Shen Shunhua's tears came out:
"Congxi, my sister has a hard life, married Xie Ruiji, thinking that she has found happiness, but her sister can't even maintain false happiness...... Although he sent Pingkun out in desperation, this is to save his life, if he is sent out, he can't save his life, it is better for our mother and son to die together! ”
"Oops! Okay, why do you want to die and live......" Mrs. Shen felt uncomfortable in her heart, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Shen An opened his mouth and said, "Xi'er, Hua'er, you all sit down." Xi'er, there is only our dearest family here, don't hide anything from you, make it clear, whether it is a blessing or a curse, and we should be mentally prepared. ”
After his father spoke, Shen Congxi had no choice but to help his sister sit down and briefly say the information about Dongchang's return, especially about Pingkun.
"Huh?" Shen An gasped and said in a deep voice: "This is the crime of killing the head, Prince Xiang, they must have lost their words after drinking!" That...... What did the emperor say? ”
The emperor didn't say anything. Because of this, with my understanding of him, the emperor may have made up his mind in his heart. ”
Shen Shunhua hugged Mrs. Shen and cried bitterly.
After tossing and turning and thinking all night, Shen Shunhua decided to go to the queen behind his younger brother's back. In the circle of nobles in the capital, there is no one who does not know that the emperor favors the queen alone and does not accept the harem for her. What if, the emperor can listen to the queen and let himself take Kun'er back?
For this "just in case", Shen Shunhua took advantage of the emperor, father and younger brother to go to the queen's Xuanyun Palace.
The queen didn't hear the emperor mention half a word, and as soon as Shen Shunhua said it, she was also stunned: Rui Ji has never hidden anything from me, is it because he didn't believe me when he saw me sending something to Kun'er that day?
Seeing that Shen Shunhua burst into tears as soon as she said this, the queen held her hand and said sincerely: "This palace really doesn't know that this matter has reached such a serious level. Although this palace can't promise you anything, this palace will definitely have a good exchange with the emperor to see if there is still room for redemption. ”
The queen's words made Shen Shunhua a little disappointed, but the matter has come to this point, and the queen's willingness to talk to the emperor is better than asking.
After Shen Shunhua left, the queen sat on the chair in a daze, her mind blank, and she didn't think about anything.
The emperor has been on the throne for half a year, and he can be said to have burned the anointing and worked day and night. When I came back from the afternoon dynasty, I often had to discuss alone with a few confidants in the study.
It was only during the spring break that he relaxed for a few days, and as soon as the fifth day of the first lunar month passed, he began to receive ministers who came alone in his study.
What's he doing? Why is he worried? If he doesn't say it, she'll never know. Once upon a time, Begonia, who took care of the children in the palace, had slowly distanced herself from her husband, who stood at the top of the power of the Celestial Empire.
Two days ago, Xiao Yunhui grabbed a piece of paper, tore it with his little hand, and when he heard the sound of "bang", Yunhui giggled, Haitang thought it was too wasteful to tear the paper, and took the paper away, and Yunhui cried when he was unhappy.
Xie Ruijiao happened to come back, asked what was going on, and asked Chang Le to go to the study to find a pile of unused new paper and let his son tear it to play.
"Yun Hui wants to tear the paper, naturally he has his own reasons. There is no silver in the treasury, but I, an emperor, don't even have a few pieces of paper from the prince. ”
Haitang felt at the time that it was Xie Ruijiao's excuse for the child to cry and be upset, but now that I think about it, it was the thoughts that they had been sticking to each other that began to diverge.
Thinking of this, Haitang took a deep breath, straightened up and asked Ji'er: "What fresh ingredients do we have in our small kitchen today, you go and pick a few refreshing and delicious ones, take them to the small room, and the palace will personally cook dinner for the emperor." ”
Xie Ruizhu came back a little late today, looking at his outfit, he should have dressed as Jin Wuwei and left the palace. How could the emperor deceive the guards guarding the palace gate again and again? But just keep your eyes open. pretending to each other, but they are all trying to deceive the official.
When he saw that Begonia was still waiting for him to eat, his eyes widened, and when he looked again, there were several things on the table, all of which were his favorite side dishes, refreshing and refreshing, and he had an appetite when he looked at it.
Xie Ruijiao hugged the begonia in his arms and asked suspiciously: "What important day has I forgotten today?" ”
Haitang shook his head with a smile and said, "I used to cook for you to eat, and you never asked what important day it was. Every day we spend together is important. ”
Xie Ruijiao was even happier, pulled Haitang to sit down and said, "Although I have eaten in the mansion, you also know that there is nothing delicious in the place where their men stay, how can the dishes you cook are so delicious?" Come, I'll accompany you to make up for two more bites. ”
The two sat down, and Xie Ruijiao really ate two bites of everything.
Begonia said tentatively: "Today...... The second sister-in-law came to the palace to look for me......"
Xie Ruijiao put down the chopsticks and said calmly: "Today Congxi told me that he leaked his mouth at home last night, and I guessed that she would come to you." You're cooking this dish today just to be a lobbyist for her? ”
Begonia's heart was in turmoil: It's not like this!
Xie Ruijiao saw that she pursed her mouth aggrievedly and didn't speak, and was a little distressed, and smiled: "Okay, I know that you are kind." I told you to leave things out of the way, no matter what I do, I have my reasons. Being on the throne, I can't help myself. There are some things that I don't want to do, but the situation forces me to make a choice. ”
He took one of Begonia's hands, held it in his palm, tilted his head and asked her, "Can you understand?" ”
Haitang nodded, and whispered: "I am also a mother, I can't bear to see the ...... who is just eight years old."
"I know what you want." Xie Ruijiao interrupted her, not planning to listen to her. A fait accompli, irretrievable.
He has decreed today to raid Prince Xiang's house and deprive him of the right to inherit the prince's title. In other words, when Prince Xiang dies, his family will lose their fiefdom and food, and the eldest son will no longer be able to inherit the title of Prince Xiang.
In addition, he ordered Dongchang to assassinate Xie Pingkun.
Haitang saw the determination in Xie Ruijiao's eyes, this gaze made her shudder, she couldn't help but ask sadly: "He is your nephew, your relative, and you single-handedly facilitated him to hide in Prince Xiang's mansion, the adult's crime is unforgivable, how can the child be innocent?" ”
Xie Ruijiao stood up, turned his back to the begonia, and looked out the window with his hands down. He didn't want to see Begonia's eyes, she was always saving people, but he had to kill someone.
"There is no family affection under the imperial power." He turned to look at Begonia and said with a sigh.
Cheng Haitang also stood up, looked directly at Xie Ruijiao and asked:
"What about me? Under the imperial power, am I still your relative? "Read the latest chapter of "Fengqi Begonia Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
