In the sixty-first year of Yonghe, Luo Yuanguo mourned the whole country, just because the five princes who were the king's favorite fell ill with the plague and died.

And the king's favorite concubine was too sad, holding the clothes of the five princes every day and crying, and not long after, the favorite concubine also contracted the disease. The monarch was still immersed in the grief of the death of the fifth prince, and now the favored concubine was sick again, and under the double blow, the emperor couldn't afford to worry, and his face became more and more haggard.

It can be said that this whole year has been Luo Yuanguo's biggest nightmare. Not only did the people suffer, but the people were panicked, and everyone talked about the plague. The plague that I thought could be controlled eventually spread to the palace. Since then, it has been out of control.

The poor fifth prince was about to be born, and because of the negligence of a palace maid, he also contracted the plague. The child was weak, so it didn't take long for the person to be gone.

Outside the Yuhua Palace, the second prince knelt outside, with a stubborn face, and his father-in-law stood aside, sighing and saying, "The second prince, the monarch is also sick, I'm afraid I won't see you today." ”

"I must see my father!" The second prince, Ye Luo, was only five or six years old, and when he knelt there, he looked thin and pitiful.

The father-in-law has been in the palace for many years, and he has seen too much warmth and coldness, and he is also very sympathetic to what happened to the second prince.

However, the second prince's mother made a big mistake, even if he had the heart to help, he was afraid that it would be useless. He sighed and persuaded again, "That's it, second prince, you go back today, when the emperor is well, I can see you, and the old slave will send someone to call you?" ”

"No," he said stubbornly, gritting his teeth, "if it's too late, the concubine won't be able to hold on." Father-in-law, you go in and talk to your father, saying that the mother concubine is also sick, but the cold palace environment is cold and suffering, if it continues like that, the mother concubine will be gone. ”

The father-in-law opened his lips, not knowing how to answer. Early in the morning, he heard that the second prince's mother, Concubine Jiang, was also infected with the plague, but because she had committed a major crime before, no one was willing to pay attention to it. Coupled with the ferocity of the plague, no one dared to approach it at all. The monarch also knows about this matter, but the monarch no longer cares about Concubine Jiang's affairs, so how can he send the imperial doctor to take a look?

When his father-in-law saw that he was young, he didn't dare to say it clearly. Poor second prince is so young, he wants to kneel here and plead.

After a while, his father-in-law stepped forward, supported his body and said, "Second prince, the floor is cold, you better get up first." ”

"No," Ye Luo swept away his father-in-law's hand and said stubbornly, "I can't get up without seeing my father." ”

"W-why is that?"

He lowered his head and bit his lip, his eyes reddening.

"Father, father, he is angry with his mother. I don't know how to keep my father from being angry, but I know that for the sake of my mother, I want to make my father happy as much as possible. ”

"......" the father-in-law was dumbfounded.

"Father-in-law, don't worry about it, I'll wait like this, until my father comes out." The father-in-law shook his head, feeling more and more distressed. Although Concubine Jiang fornicating with the guards is a big crime, these five princes are still young, and kneeling here like this is really distressing. However, he couldn't persuade Ye Luo, so he could only stand by the side and watch distressedly.

……

The evening sun set very quickly, and soon the night darkened. There were eunuchs who came in and out to deliver things inside, but no one ever looked at the five princes.

In their opinion, the big mistake made by Concubine Jiang is something that cannot be reversed with no amount of action. As for the five princes, Concubine Jiang fell, I am afraid that the status of the five princes in the heart of the monarch will also plummet. Since then, it is unknown whether the emperor will remember the five princes.

Ye Luo raised his little brain, his eyes kept staring at the door of the main hall, hoping that the monarch would come out of it, and then stood in front of him, hugged him and said, "My little Luo'er, it's good for my father to go with you to see your mother." ”

Yes, in my impression, his father is like this.

At that time, the mother concubine had not made a mistake, and the father and emperor also liked the mother concubine very much. The mother concubine said that she was wronged, and she had never been sorry for her father.

Therefore, Ye Luo has always firmly believed that when his father knows the truth, he will not be angry with his mother again. After that, he could lie in his father's arms again and recite poems, and then he could hear his father tell him stories he had never heard before.

That kind of day is what Ye Luo is looking forward to the most.

……

The night is getting darker and darker. Ye Luo knelt on the cold floor, and gradually his legs were numb. However, he still did not see the king. The father-in-law said that the emperor was unwell and had rested.

Ye Luo bit his lip, from the original belief that his father would come out, to now he is gradually a little disappointed. The grandmother who served the mother concubine before said, "The monarch has a new love, and in this life, I will never think of Concubine Jiang again." ”

At that time, Ye Luo still didn't believe this, but now, he seems to believe it a little. Because of that favorite concubine, the father has forgotten his mother and himself.

He doesn't love himself anymore......

Thinking of this, Ye Luo's nose was sour, and he suddenly had the urge to cry. He wanted to know why, why, in just one year, his father could forget about his mother and concubine, and he ignored himself so completely. Could it be that the mother concubine really has no weight in the heart of her father?

On the horizon, the originally bright moonlight, at this moment, has already hidden in the dark clouds. The father-in-law looked at the weather and said badly in his heart.

So, he walked over and came to Yero's side.

"Second prince, looking at the sky, I'm afraid it's going to rain, you better go back, or it will rain, you will get cold when you are drenched in the rain."

Ye Luo still knelt and didn't understand, only stared straight at the palace with his eyes, gritted his teeth and asked, "Father-in-law, does my father really dislike my mother's concubine?" ”

"......" The father-in-law choked, and his body was slightly stunned.

"Father-in-law, the mother concubine is wronged."

"......" the father-in-law sighed, this person has already entered the cold palace, as long as the emperor believes it, then who can say whether it is wronged or not. Now, even if it is wronged, it will not help if I am afraid......

"Father-in-law, you are a good person."

The father-in-law was stunned, a little surprised. For a long time, he pursed his lips and said, "Second prince, the old slave feels sorry for you." ”

"So, only you are a good person. They did not believe in the mother, framed the mother, and persecuted the mother. They all want to kill their mother, and they all want to kill me! Especially that Ye Shi Nala! ”

The father-in-law was startled, subconsciously looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, he bent down and said busily, "Second prince, you can't just talk nonsense, understand?!" ”
