Chapter 785: Ugly

Although no one could execute Yuan Hua for killing Concubine Hua again, she couldn't pass the level in her heart in the end, and lived in fear every day, and even later as long as the sun went down, she was so frightened that she shrank in the corner of the bed and didn't move.

Such a painful life made her remember her hatred more firmly, and she did not forget to find an opportunity to take revenge every day, and every day when the sun rose, she would murmur to herself, nothing more than to kill Hongluan or curse Hongluan: among all of them, she hated Hongluan the most.

Until more than ten years later, she met the eldest princess who had grown slim in the imperial garden; The eldest princess pointed at her and said, "Is it too much to work so old?" She was stunned on the spot, and the people in the palace didn't remember her anymore.

She lowered her head and looked at her hands like chicken feet, only to know that she had no hope of revenge in this life, and only then did she know that she had become dust under Hongluan's feet—Hongluan had long since remembered that there was such an enemy as her in the palace slave courtyard. It made her heart even more painful, the people she hated day and night had completely left her behind, what was she living for?

When Yuan Hua was scolded and sent to the palace slave courtyard, the emperor was looking at the wounds on Hongluan's face in the Qinglu Palace, and carefully medicated her without pretending to others; He didn't ask much about Hongluan's injury, but his gaze had already made Hongluan understand how much distress he had, and he gently touched his head from time to time, and mischievous with him just to make him happy.

The emperor understood Hongluan's mind and glared at her a few times before letting her mess around, but he was more careful not to make Hongluan more painful because of his exertion; And Hongluan also endured the pain, and refused to even inhale for fear that the emperor would be even more upset.

After taking the medicine, the emperor looked at it seriously and nodded: "Luan'er, you are really ugly like this now, if you go to the palace slave courtyard at this time, if Yuanhua sees your appearance, you can avenge Concubine Hua without talking or moving." ”

Emperor Hongluan hated: "I'll scare you at night." She asked people to pack up the medicine: "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that the Shangguan family can no longer stay." "Now that this time I have torn my face, neither the Empress Dowager nor the Shangguan family will report hope to the emperor anymore.

The emperor nodded: "I think so too, I can't wait any longer, although it's not a good time now." "He didn't clean up the Shangguan family for a long time, not because he couldn't move the Shangguan family as the Empress Dowager thought, but for another reason.

The Shangguan family has been dominant in the court so far, and there are countless old acquaintances among the officials, but after the Shangguan family was removed, the emperor did not have so many people to promote; And relatives like the Hu family, the Zhao family, etc., staring at the Shangguan family for not a day or two, and as soon as the Shangguan family falls, they will definitely take advantage of the trend and become a new family.

The emperor originally wanted to wait for the new branch to be recruited: Enke will be held after the New Year, and there will be a triennial test for more than a year, and he will be given more than a year to allow him to elect a credible person who can replace the official position originally occupied by the Shangguan family. However, now it is not that long to wait.

The defeat of the Shangguan family in the palace, and the repeated setbacks of the empress dowager in front of the emperor, may have made the Shangguan family unable to hold back; Especially the dead soldiers, even a palace maid emperor who does not understand martial arts cannot tolerate the fact that the dead soldiers of the Shangguan family are mixed in the palace; If the Shangguan family is indulged like this, it is really difficult to say what the Shangguan family will have in the future: the current Shangguan family has no objections, but their courage is getting bigger and bigger, and it is inevitable that they will finally have the kind of thoughts that should be punished.

Therefore, both Hongluan and the emperor thought that they couldn't wait any longer, and they had to take the first step to catch the Shangguan family off guard, and it just happened to shock other people in the court, so that no one would always be ready to move.

"In fact, after two or three years, when dealing with the Shangguan family, the emperor will not be able to worry about it in these two or three years, and he will have to fight wits and courage with the people of the Shangguan family; After taking out the Shangguan family, it is just to deal with the replacement of people, and it is easier to deal with according to the concubine, but in the end it is the two families and they are not very harmonious. As long as we think of ways to make them more discordant, the concubines think that it may be much easier for the emperor to clean them up than the Shangguan family. Hongluan appeased the emperor, she knew that the Shangguan family and the emperor were in trouble because of her.

The emperor slapped his palm on Hongluan's head: "Your heart is so much, of course I know." He lay down on his back and stretched his waist: "Because the people of the Shangguan family are there, they don't take their father and me in their eyes at all; The father was filial because of a filial piety - of course, the empress dowager had to suffer a lot to protect her father in order to let her father ascend the throne, so the father could only let the Shangguan family be presumptuous. However, I'm different. ”

He crossed his hands behind his head and looked at Hongluan: "The Empress Dowager has not protected me for a day, and it is very likely that she has a grudge against me for killing my mother, filial piety is unable to tie my hands and feet, the Shangguan family must be cleaned up, and they can no longer be allowed to harm my children and grandchildren. Therefore, it is not because of you that I and the Shangguan family are already in an endless situation. ”

Hongluan looked at him: "Others can't appreciate what they do, and you don't want me to appreciate it, right?" Well, the concubine can obey the order, your majesty, don't regret it in the future. ”

The emperor hugged her waist from behind, pulled her into his arms, and was careful not to touch her wounds: "You dare to threaten me when you look so ugly, be careful that I go to find other concubines to spend the night." ”

Hongluan pursed his lips and made a disdainful expression: "Do you want to send the emperor over as a concubine?" Tomorrow, I will go over to congratulate the concubine, but the concubine is a very virtuous person, and I don't know what jealousy is. ”

The emperor laughed: "I don't know if you can still say the word jealousy, you are guilty of bullying the king, and I will punish you." ”

Hongluan pointed to the wound on his face: "Punish it." She was fearless, and her eyes were full of pride when she looked at the emperor - I have no way to be light this time.

The emperor stroked her hair with one hand: "You'd better not be so complacent, otherwise I won't be the one who regrets it." Seeing that Hongluan was still looking at him proudly, he got up angrily: "Who can't I clean up, can I still clean you up?" After saying that, his big hand reached into Hongluan's clothes.

Hongluan struggled to jump to the ground and glared at him: "I haven't eaten yet." ”

"No need." The emperor smiled evilly: "If you are not punished, there will be no rules in the future, this is a big matter, you can obediently tie my hands to me." He got up to catch Hongluan: "If you don't obey the order, I will catch you and you know the consequences." ”

Hongluan's face flushed: "But, but people are very ugly like this." ”

The emperor hugged her, his eyes widened: "Don't talk about yourself like that." Seeing that Hongluan was not convinced, he glared again: "I said that you can't say it, because I'm lying, no one is more beautiful than you in my heart, because your beauty is not on your face, understand?" When you become an old woman, you will still be my most beloved beauty. ”
