Chapter 82: Why Soothe the Loneliness
He still needed that warm embrace.
But after returning to the palace, his words and deeds must conform to the rules of etiquette. He's grown up, but he's not old enough to openly choose a maid to sleep in.
It's not as hard as the days in Jin Ling'er's arms. He often woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep. Too little sleep has added headaches, chest tightness and heart palpitations.
At first, he didn't dare to tell anyone about his symptoms. Because he felt that if these problems occurred, it meant that he was unqualified and unworthy of being a prince. And the end of the abolished prince is death.
And when his problems finally couldn't be covered up and were discovered by his father and mother, they did not dislike him, but felt doubly guilty, and tried all kinds of ways to help him recuperate, and finally reduced his symptoms a lot.
His father, the Emperor, even told him that he had similar symptoms. During the days when he was imprisoned in Nangong, whenever Chen Huaishen recalled that because of his stupidity and credulity, the king of a country became a prisoner of others, I am afraid that it will become a joke after thousands of years, and he will be drenched in cold sweat, his chest is blocked, he tosses and turns, and it is difficult to sleep. The result of not being able to sleep well is frequent headaches and sometimes ringing in the ears.
But, even so, he did not give up on his dream, he wanted to do it all over again and do his best to be a good monarch. In the end he succeeded, and in the second half of his life he did become a wise monarch. After his death, his temple name was Yingzong, and his nickname was Emperor Rui, which represented the evaluation of him by the courtiers and people.
But it all comes at a cost. Under huge psychological pressure, the result of being busy with government politics was an untimely death. He was only thirty-eight years old when he died.
When his father died, Chen Jianjun was seventeen years old. He inherited the throne and also married the empress. He didn't like the queen and deposed her in just one month. He wanted to set up Jin Ling'er as the queen, but everyone was against him, so he had to set up a new queen, and Jin Ling'er was still his palace attendant, but now he could openly recruit her to sleep.
In fact, long before he got married, he secretly had a secret relationship with Jin Ling'er. His thirst for her chest never stopped. When he was fourteen, he finally returned to her arms, hugging her as he did when he was a child, still sucking her so hungrily, but this time with a lot of different experiences.
He was so addicted to the experience, but she repeatedly asked him to do so. Because he is afraid of his physical damage, and because he is afraid of having a child, being born at this point in time will put the child in an embarrassing situation.
A year after he ascended the throne, they finally had a child of their own, a prince. This is their firstborn son, he was overjoyed, and immediately named Jin Ling'er as a concubine, and he also wanted to crown the child as the prince, but he was afraid that the honor was too bad for the child, and he planned to be promoted after the first birthday. But the child died before he was half a year old.
In the days when the child just left, Jin Ling'er didn't eat or drink, like crazy. Her arms were no longer open to him, as if she had held the child and could no longer tolerate him.
He couldn't bear it, he couldn't bear those nights without company, especially after his father was gone and his children were gone. He wanted to find a warm embrace, so he began to pamper the other concubines in the harem.
There are concubines who begin to get pregnant. His mother, who is now the queen mother, is very happy about this. But his heart was always empty. He tossed and fell in the arms of different women, but always felt like an orphan. He couldn't find the feeling of being by her side back then, they were too slender and weak, and they wanted to rely on him and get honor and love from him. None of them had the strength to hold him.
His favor for other women is even worse for Jin Ling'er. He had sworn that she was the only one in his heart in this life, and that she would not tolerate him pampering other women. He explained to her that even if he had pampered the young concubines, they would not be a threat to her, for they were only his lonely pastimes, and had never entered his heart. In his heart, she is indeed the only one.
But instead of being relieved by his comfort, Jin Ling'er became even more angry. She felt that while she was devastated by the loss of their child, he was clinging to the arms of other women, as if he had pushed her into the abyss.
Chen Jianjun tried to make her understand that he also had a piercing pain when he lost his beloved son, and she was so cold to him during that time, no matter how painful he was, he couldn't get any comfort from her, so he temporarily left to find a little warmth elsewhere.
Hearing these words, Jin Ling'er bit his arm angrily, as if to tear him apart. He tore at her hair and grabbed her shoulders to tear her away. In this way, the two people bit each other and became entangled. The consequence of the entanglement is to roll on the dragon bed again. This is the first time since the loss of a child that the two of them have hugged each other tightly. From that day on, Chen Jianjun recruited Jin Ling'er night and night, and left aside the concubines who had been pampered before, even those who were pregnant.
But none of these pregnant concubines were able to give birth safely, and they always miscarried for various reasons. Chen Jianjun knew that this was Jin Ling'er taking revenge. He acquiesced in her revenge and covered it up for her in front of the Queen Mother.
But they can't go back to the way they used to be. Jin Ling'er began to try her best to get pregnant and give birth again, saying that so that their child would be reincarnated back with them. At the beginning, he cooperated well. But her plans to have children are getting more and more crazy, often making him feel like he is just a breeding stallion, rather than her only love and husband. When he can't breathe, he needs to hide out and be quiet. And the ones who could give him a moment of comfort and rest were the young concubines who smiled softly at him.
This evasion drew more resentment from her. Her methods of revenge on the harem concubines are also becoming more and more ruthless. When she goes too far, Chen Jianjun will argue with her fiercely, and sometimes he will do something to her. Then the two reconciled. And so on until Ji and her son were found, and Ji died suddenly.
Chen Youcong's childhood was as lonely as Chen Jianjun, which made Chen Jianjun feel guilty.
Chen Jianjun's childhood was miserable because he had to beg for a living under his uncle, while Chen Youcong lived a precarious life in his father's court, so Chen Jianjun couldn't help but reflect on whether his indulgence of Jin Ling'er was a little too much.
He warned Jin Ling'er not to do anything to the children again, this is his bottom line. The Queen Mother also warned Jin Ling'er that if she dared to harm the prince, she would let her whole family be buried with her.
From there, Jin Ling'er no longer interfered in the affairs of his heirs. So he had more sons and daughters.
He began to raise the concubines of the harem openly. In addition to the concubines, there are also concubines, concubines, and concubines......
But Jin Guifei is still the first person in this harem. He still cherished her arms. It's just that he found that the warmth that this embrace could give him was getting thinner and thinner.
When he was a young man with nightmares and headaches, he thought it would be fine when he became an adult. However, as an adult, he found that the nightmares of his childhood had not disappeared, and the burden of adulthood was getting heavier. The frightened child in his heart was struggling to support all this, but he was getting more and more embarrassed.
After the age of 30, he suffered from headaches and heart palpitations.
The prescriptions prescribed to him by the Tai Hospital are mainly based on warm care. Imperial Physician Lin and Imperial Physician Shao, who are responsible for diagnosing the emperor's pulse every day, are also very tactful, usually only saying that he is overworked and his blood is lost, so he should rest more and pay attention to diet and nourishment.
There has never been a person like that Taoist doctor Zhang Weizhao, who bluntly stabbed his symptoms, and said that since Chengzu, this symptom has existed in the emperors of the Chen family.
This made Chen Jianjun feel shocked.
His father told him about his headaches and heart palpitations. He knew that in the first half of last year, the crown prince also took leave due to headache and high fever and did not go to Wenhua Hall to study.
But he never connected his father's illness, his own illness, and the prince's illness together. He didn't even contact the health of the Chen emperors.
However, there is one thing he knows, that is, the ancestors of the Chen family, from the beginning of becoming an ancestor, have not lived long, and few people can live past the age of 60, and most of them die before the age of 40.
And there are many other side branch descendants of Taizu who lived to be seventy or eighty years old before dying.
When Chengzu ascended the throne, some people cursed that Chengzu was not in the right position, killed too much, and hurt the yin owl, which will inevitably harm his descendants in the future. The person who cursed Cheng Zu was the leader of the literary world back then, a great Confucian with outstanding reputation and respect from all over the world, Fang Xiaoru.
Chengzu did not inherit the throne directly from Taizu. Before his death, Taizu passed the throne to the emperor's grandson Chen Yunwen, known as Emperor Jianwen in history. Emperor Jianwen was young and immature, and was taken from the throne by force by the young and powerful Chengzu Xingbing, and Jianwen died in a fire with his wife and children.
In the official statement, this history says that Emperor Jianwen was confused by the villain, and Cheng Zu Xingbing Qingjun side. Emperor Jianwen was killed by the villain, died in the fire, and became the ancestor of the people, and succeeded to the unification. But the paper can't hold the fire, the courtiers and the common people know what's going on, everyone doesn't say it on the surface, but in private they turn it over and over again as a legendary story I don't know how many times.
Among them, the most widely circulated is the story of Fang Xiaoru angrily scolding Chengzu and being punished by the ten clans. There are only nine tribes in the world, of which four are fathers, three are mothers, and two are wives. The tenth clan is Fang Xiaoru's mentor and friend.
Fang Xiaoru was the master of Emperor Jianwen and was highly respected by Emperor Jianwen. When Emperor Jianwen died in the fire, many ministers turned to Chengzu and swore allegiance, but Fang Xiaoru never bowed his head. In order to recruit Fang Xiaoru, Chengzu asked him to draft an edict for his accession. thought that as long as Fang Xiaoru was appeased, he could entrap a large number of scholars behind him.
