Chapter 013: The Past

Han Yan looked at Xiao Wangzhi, who was smiling happily in his swaddling clothes, and smiled and smiled, and his heart was sour.

……

In the thirteenth year of Yuanjia, the edict was issued to the world, and the draft girls were selected to enrich the court.

Han Wan, the daughter of Han Qian, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, was canonized as a concubine by Emperor Yuanjia on the spot because of her gentleness and beauty, elegance and etiquette, and she was very good at elegant music.

This is just the beginning of bad luck.

Emperor Yuanjia's favor not only failed to bring any shelter and happiness to Han Wan, but instead attracted the jealousy of Zhao Guifei, who favored the harem.

Han Wan was alert and intelligent, and seeing that even the queen of the middle palace had to avoid his edge, he took the initiative to ask Emperor Yuanjia to serve the Empress Dowager Zhao in Cining Palace day and night, so as to avoid these rights and wrongs in the harem.

Who knew that Emperor Yuan Jia looked up to her even more because of this, and since then, although he has not favored her, he has more respect and appreciation.

It is this respect and appreciation that makes Zhao Guifei even more like a fish in her throat, and she is not unhappy.

In the autumn of the sixteenth year of Yuanjia, Han Wan unexpectedly conceived a dragon heir, and after the surprise, there were many worries and uneasiness.

Emperor Yuanjia ascended the throne for sixteen years, and the harem concubines have also increased a lot, but except for a few princesses who have no sense of existence, there are no other heirs.

Emperor Yuanjia is in the prime of life, and there are many palace people who have been pregnant in the harem - Emperor Yuanjia is the only favorite of Zhao Guifei, and he always has to give birth to an heir to inherit the great Zhou Dynasty.

However, most of those who are pregnant in the palace either have an accidental miscarriage halfway, or have heavy bleeding during childbirth, or various postpartum pains, and one corpse and two lives are common.

Everyone in the palace knows that there are so many accidents, but Zhao Guifei has never been able to get pregnant after losing her son in her early years, and she is worried that someone will rob her of her favor and cover her limelight with her son, so she will kill the killer.

It's okay to do it once or twice, but she has been doing it for more than ten years, and her subordinates have a lot of blood debts, but she can still be safe and sound, and she still favors the sixth palace, if you want to say that there is no connivance of Emperor Yuanjia in the middle, Han Wan doesn't believe it.

Thinking of the child in his womb that had not yet taken shape, Han Wan could only ask for it in front of Empress Dowager Zhao.

Empress Dowager Zhao was pleasantly surprised when she heard this.

She is now old, and the queen is weak and unsupportive, except for the pure land of Cining Palace, Zhao Zhener covers the sky with one hand in the harem.

Who would have thought that the little slave of the Zhao family would fly on the branches and become a phoenix by virtue of her friendship with the emperor when she was in trouble, and now even her master is not in her eyes!

Empress Dowager Zhao was very worried that after her death in the future, Emperor Yuanjia, who was confused by Zhao Zhen'er, would continue to use her as a prestige and kill the emperor's heirs, and in the end there would be no one to inherit this great Zhou dynasty - after all, with King Su plotting rebellion in front of her, she didn't dare to trust other clan children anymore.

The wealth is moving, not to mention the monstrous power of this beautiful country.

When the time comes, the world will be in turmoil, how will she face the ancestors of the Liu family under Jiuquan?

Empress Dowager Zhao immediately made a decision, no matter whether Han Wan was pregnant with a dragon or a phoenix in her belly, she had to protect him thoroughly!

Empress Dowager Zhao immediately left Han Wan sick on the grounds that she was unwell, but in fact, she wanted her to stay in Cining Palace with peace of mind.

No one doubted it at first, after all, soon after Han Wan entered the palace, he invited himself to serve the Empress Dowager Zhao in Cining Palace, and the Empress Dowager Zhao was accustomed to her service, and it was reasonable to ask her to serve her by name when she was ill.

Han Wan was also extremely careful, covering it with wide robes and big sleeves every day, and was so cautious that except for the Empress Dowager Zhao and the henchman who took care of him since childhood, he never divulged half a cent to anyone.

But there is no impermeable wall in the world.

No matter how cautious they were, Han Wan did not leave Cining Palace for several months, which still aroused Zhao Guifei's suspicion.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Han Wan simply took the first step to report the good news to Emperor Yuanjia.

Emperor Yuanjia is middle-aged, but there is still no prince under his knees, as soon as he heard that Han Wan was pregnant, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately promoted her position and promoted to concubine.

Soon, Emperor Yuan Jia simply promoted Shaoqing Han Qian to take over the post of Taichang Siqing.

Zhao Guifei made a bad move, gritted her teeth with hatred, and didn't say anything in front of Emperor Yuan Jia, but behind her back, she made one yin move after another, to abort Han Wan's birth, it is best to have two lives in one corpse.

In the spring of the seventeenth year of Yuanjia, when Han Wan, who was already a concubine, was walking in his palace, he was knocked to the ground by a reckless little palace maid for a while, and the blood under her skirt was ......

When Emperor Yuanjia heard the news, he immediately left a cadre of ministers and immediately rushed to Yanjia Palace, and summoned the medical officers of the Tai Hospital to go all out, but in the end he still failed to save the male fetus that had been in Han Wan's womb for more than seven months.

Emperor Yuanjia was extremely angry, and immediately killed the little palace maid with a cane, exposing the corpse to the wilderness.

Zhao Guifei's heart has been removed, and while she is refreshed, she can't help but feel a little regretful that she couldn't even kill Han Wan, a thorn in the flesh in her eye.

But Zhao Guifei and the others didn't know that the baby who was not born prematurely did not die early, but was secretly sent to Cining Palace by Han Wan.

Empress Dowager Zhao personally hugged him in a sip of water and a mouthful of milk day and night, and even taught him to survive the ghost gate.

Although the breath was weak, it survived.

After Han Wan got the letter from the Empress Dowager Zhao, he was so happy and excited that he hugged the quilt and cried for half a night.

Due to Zhao Guifei's power and viciousness, Empress Dowager Zhao and Han Wan did not dare to tell others about the existence of the baby boy, and only left him in the secret room of Cining Palace every day to be carefully cared for by Empress Dowager Zhao herself.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of Concubine Zhao, Han Wan did not dare to walk more to Cining Palace; Empress Dowager Zhao is old and can't stand the long-term tossing day and night.

After the two of them summed up, they invited Queen Wang to Cining Palace and held the baby to her.

Queen Wang was shocked, and a trace of relief flashed in her heart - no matter how powerful she Zhao Zhen'er is, she will not be able to give birth to a son after doing all the bad things, and sooner or later the wealth and grace in front of her will be empty.

And the baby boy in front of her is the reliance on her turning over, and it is also a sharp weapon to cut off Zhao Zhener.

So the three women raised the baby boy little by little under the nose of Zhao Guifei.

Cining Palace's cramped and dark secret room, idle firewood room...... Even the dilapidated and lonely cold palace, but wherever they can hide, they have exhausted it.

Sometimes when the child pees and is hungry, and just let out a weak cry, he will be immediately gagged, and his little face will be red, so as not to attract prying eyes and lose his life.

Han Wan watched the child live so aggrieved and difficult, and was so distressed that she often cried at the back of the person, but when she finally saw the child again, she still covered his mouth earlier, so as not to make a little noise.

So until Han Yan returned from rebirth and rushed to the palace all the way to ask for a meeting, Xiao Wangzhi, who had already been targeted by Zhao Guifei, except for the weak and trembling cry of the whimpering and sobbing that was covered firmly, would only sleep in a daze, and it hurt in people's hearts.

"Ayan, you take him away, go far away......" Han Wan smiled sadly, "Leave the cage of this palace forbidden courtyard forever, and live freely and comfortably......"

The red firelight reflected her eyebrows brightly, and her eyes were as bright as stars, and her eyes were as gentle as water, and she looked at Xiao Wangzhi in his arms reluctantly......
