Chapter 178: Karma
He also gradually realized that the embarrassment in front of him was caused by the eunuch who beat him. He was frightened when he had sex with him, and he became like this.
He had also heard that once a man had this disease, it would be difficult to cure it. His uncle had this condition, and when he was a child playing in his uncle's house, he also sneaked under his bed and eavesdropped.
If an ordinary man suffers from this disease, he is only suffering from it with his own woman. But he was an emperor, and if the emperor could not have children, trouble would ensue.
He has spent half of his life on the matter of seizing the country, and he has never touched women at all, and he has reached this age, not to mention a son, not even a daughter.
If from now on, he can't touch women, then a hundred years later, who should the emperor's position be passed on? I'm afraid that by that time, the throne will fall on the head of Nan Jingpei's son again.
He didn't dare to blatantly declare the Imperial Doctor, for fear that the Imperial Doctor would spread the news of his infertility. As soon as the court knew that he was unable to have children, the courtiers who had just submitted to him would have another incident.
Although he has the support of the Marquis of Changxin, it is only a general confrontation, and if the courtiers see a tighter chain of interests, the Marquis of Changxin may not be able to control them.
According to the ancestral inheritance, this throne should be sat by Nan Chengyuan, and he is just an elder who took away the throne of Nan Chengyuan and killed his father. The revenge of killing his father is not shared. If Nan Chengyuan inherits the throne in the future, won't those courtiers who support him become a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh?
The courtiers were not fools, if they did not have their own son to inherit the throne, they would only support Nan Chengyuan in turn. Instead of letting Nan Chengyuan grow up to take revenge on them, it is better to start cultivating from now on, and when Nan Chengyuan ascends the throne, they will all become great heroes of the imperial court.
He stared at her fiercely, but he didn't dare to believe her. I sat cross-legged on the green brick floor for a long time, and when I got up, I still felt that all these things were like a dream.
No, it's a dream, it must be a dream, it's that he was knocked unconscious and hasn't woken up yet! Nan Yinglin slapped twice on his face, and his cheeks suddenly swelled crimson, and it hurt hotly.
He caressed his face and stared blankly at an ancient painting hanging on the wall of the hall. The painting has always hung here, and it has never been moved. The scroll is already yellowed, covered with fine and dense textures, like the copper-colored skin of an old man.
It is a picture of a person, I heard that it was hung here by Taizu himself when he founded the country, and it has been passed down to their generation, with a history of more than 300 years.
He had heard the story of the painting from the emperor.
Five hundred years ago, the barbaric tribal kings of the Northern Han were quickly unified by the most courageous and fierce wild skin kings at that time. King Yepi collapsed in the middle of the road, and his widow Empress Dowager Taibumu took Prince Antong, the son of King Yepi, to inherit the throne and won the Central Plains in one fell swoop, which was the Qianfeng Dynasty.
However, what is depicted in this painting is that two hundred years later, that is, before the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, Taizu led his troops to attack the capital and overthrew the feat of the Qianfeng Dynasty that had been notified for two hundred years in one fell swoop. At that time, Sheng Rao, the last empress dowager of the Qianfeng Dynasty, led the eight-year-old little emperor to abdicate, and the Qianfeng Dynasty was chased and beaten all the way by the Great Qi army, and finally fled back to the Northern Han.
From the opening of the country by the Queen Mother with her young son, and ended with the Queen Mother with her young son. Taizu sighed about retribution and reincarnation, so he asked someone to draw a picture of the palace people fleeing in all directions when he broke the dynasty, and the fact that he gave death to the Empress Dowager and the little emperor. In the state of the country, warn future generations.
Retribution reincarnation, maybe there is really retribution reincarnation in this world......
"Can you cure it?" He stood up.
Shen Yunzhen sneered: "What's so difficult about this? Don't forget, my father is still in the capital, even if I can't cure you, isn't there still my father? ”
"Your father?" Nan Yinglin sneered: "Yes, your father." ”
He wanted to speak and stopped, but he bent down and relieved Shen Yunzhen. Shen Yunzhen rubbed the sore arms and calves that had been tied, and looked to the side angrily.
"How?" He finally relented.
Shen Yunzhen bypassed him, half of Concubine Su De's cheeks were covered with sticky blood, she took out a handkerchief and half a cup of tea from her sleeve, and wiped it for her little by little.
Nan Yinglin knew that she was deliberately testing his patience in order to raise the price of the negotiation, so she said, "You don't have to wipe it, I will treat her in Xuantai Hospital immediately." Can we sit down and talk calmly now? ”
Shen Yunzhen stopped her hand, smiled coldly at him, and calmed down, how could she calm down in the face of a man who killed her beloved husband, a man who set up a treacherous plan to destroy the Shen family?
"Nan Yinglin, this is your retribution." She spat out a sentence coldly.
Nan Yinglin's face was slightly impulsive, but she tried her best to suppress her anger, she was a medical woman, she was the only medical woman who knew that he couldn't have children, she was the only medical girl he hoped for. Nan Yinglin silently muttered a few times in her heart, and finally calmed down.
"Well, even if it's my retribution," he walked over to her, "can we talk?" ”
Shen Yunzhen lowered his head and said coldly: "It depends on your attitude." ”
He covered his mouth and coughed lightly, opened the door of the hall, and said to Wen Yuan: "You go to the Tai Hospital, bring the Tai Doctor named Wang Pintang over, and say that Concubine Su De's ear is injured." ”
Shen Yunzhen gently picked up Concubine Su De, held her in her arms, and called softly, "Sister Su? ”
Concubine Su gradually woke up, feeling a little pain in her earlobe, she reached out to touch it, but Shen Yunzhen pressed her hand. She stared at Shen Yunzhen, tears falling down her eyes. Shen Yunzhen also cried, but tried her best to suppress it, not wanting to cry in front of Nan Yinglin.
"The Imperial Doctor will be here soon," his hand roamed back and forth between Shen Yunzhen and him, "Have we talked about it now?" ”
Shen Yunzhen snorted lightly: "It's over after announcing the imperial doctor?" ”
His face gradually became solemn: "What more do you want?" ”
"The emperor died, how to handle the funeral? The emperor's mausoleum has not yet been completed, so where should the coffin stop? Concubine Su De and I, Yuan'er and Yangxiu, where should we, the emperor's concubines and children, live? She looked at him sharply: "I know, you don't mention these things, just to make the emperor lose his dignity and make Yu Quanxia uneasy." But if you have such an attitude, what else do we have to talk about? ”
Nan Yinglin's brows gradually furrowed, and he was silent for a long time.
"What are you talking about?" Concubine Su asked her in a low voice.
"It's nothing to do with you!" Nan Yinglin suddenly shouted angrily.
Concubine Su De trembled in fright, remembering the gossip that was prevalent in the palace: King Xin and Miss Shen were childhood sweethearts. She was afraid that if they talked about it, they would talk about Shen Yunzhen as Nan Yinglin's woman, so she turned her head to Shen Yunzhen and said, "Did he force you?" ”
Shen Yunzhen stroked her hand and shook her head gently: "Sister, don't worry, it's not what my sister thinks, I will never do anything that insults the emperor's dignity." ”
He stared at Shen Yunzhen and suddenly shouted: "I am the emperor today!" I am the true son of the dragon! ”
Shen Yunzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and didn't borrow his words, but just asked coldly: "Didn't King Xin hear what Bengong said just now?" ”
He gritted his teeth and looked at her with hatred: "Don't forget, you are now prisoners, and I can crush you to death with any finger!" ”
"Then you will kill me, see if I am afraid?" Shen Yun really didn't think so, and helped Concubine Su De to sit on the Arhat bed against the wall in the imperial study.
Nan Yinglin was silent for a long time and said, "Why do you have to be so tense? You have grabbed my handle, and I have also pinched your life, isn't it good to be mutually beneficial? Why make a lose-lose situation? Think about the children, think about your family. He pointed at Concubine Su De: "She has nothing to worry about, what about you, don't you want your grandmother and uncle and sister-in-law?" Don't you want the lives of hundreds of people in your Su family, and the glory and wealth of your family? ”
Concubine Su De knew that he wanted her to help persuade Shen Yunzhen, but she didn't want to pay attention to him, so she and Shen Yunzhen supported each other and sat on the edge of Luohan's bed.
Shen Yunzhen gently lowered her voice and said, "Sister, what he said is right, you still have your parents, relatives and friends and Yangxiu, and I still have Yuan'er." Yangxiu and Yuan'er are the only pair of children under the emperor's knees, if something happens to them, the younger sister will not have the face to see the emperor even if she is under Jiuquan. ”
Concubine Su De pursed her lips, the lives of the two of them were not to be regretted, but they took pity on the two children. Death is an easy thing, but it is not easy to live.
"Sister, we want to live." She said softly.
Shen Yunzhen lowered her eyes, knowing that Concubine Su De agreed with her words, so she turned her head and said to Nan Yinglin: "The price of this palace has been opened, if King Xin agrees to it all, then I can also let King Xin get his wish." ”
Nan Yinglin pursed his lips: "After I ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, I chose a day to handle the funeral of my royal brother, and I allocated 400,000 taels of silver, and I personally supported the coffin for the funeral. After the funeral, the construction of the imperial brother's mausoleum was stepped up, and the coffin was parked in the apse of the temple first. As for you and Concubine Sude...... There is Sheng'an Palace behind the Qi Palace, it is the residence of the Queen Mother, the main hall is spacious, there are things with the hall, the east and west ear rooms, the east and west wing rooms, there are rockery lotus ponds in the back, the stage is high, presumably the two can live in the habit. The son of the royal brother, I will choose someone to raise, and the princess will live with you, what do you think? ”
Shen Yun nodded and said, "One more more." ”
Nan Yinglin raised his eyebrows: "What?" ”
"This throne should have belonged to Yuan'er, I want you to return the throne to Yuan'er after a hundred years." Shen Yunzhen stared at him contemptuously: "Can you do it?" ”
Nan Yinglin's brows flickered: "This ......"
"You won't agree?" Concubine Su De looked at him.
"Yes, that's as it should be, as it should be." He laughed.
Shen Yunzhen wants to help him heal, but when he recovers, how many princes does he want? At that time, even if he wanted to return the throne to Nam Seungwon, his own son would not agree. He felt that what she thought was too simple, so he agreed.
Shen Yunzhen let out a long breath and said, "In this case, King Xin will do it." ”
"King Shin?" He asked rhetorically.
"King Xin." She's sure.
She could only call him King Xin, and nothing else.
