Chapter Seventy-Two: Wishful Thinking
"Emperor Qi, after the investigation of his younger brothers, the matter of rebellion between the old minister and the Liang family's father and daughter" said The Spirit King here paused, looked directly at the emperor's face, and wanted to see something from his face, but Long Yuzun, who was already deep in the city, just rolled his eyes and signaled that he was listening to the words of the Spirit King.
"Unrelated"
His words of landing in the Jinluan Hall made the eyes of the young man who was kneeling on the cold marble floor today widen in surprise, and no one in this court believed these two words, this sentence.
However, everything is not important, what the emperor believes is true, and what the emperor does not believe is false.
Nian Xiang's eyes suddenly turned red, and for the first time, he felt sorry for the daughter who came out.
He knew that it must have been his concubine who instructed the Spirit King to do this, so reversing black and white, not afraid that he would be treated as a traitor as the same, this Spirit King could do this for Qianmo, he suddenly regretted it, he shouldn't have teamed up with that Long Yuqing to do something to hurt Qianmo.
Hearing this, Long Yuzun smiled as he succeeded in his plan.
Through the Spirit King, he knew that Qian Mo was concerned about the Nian Mansion after all, and
"Since it has nothing to do with it, the prime minister will be reinstated from now on. This matter Lingwang did a good job, I in the province wronged a good official who was dedicated to the people, as a reward, the little daughter of Shangshu Liu Taifu Liu Ruyan was given to Lingwang as a side concubine, and she got married on the eighth day of October. The moment his words fell on the court, the expression of the Spirit King, who had always been cold, was slightly broken.
Everyone understands that this is not a reward, it is just a decree that the marriage decree has even been dated. If the Spirit King does not accept the holy decree, it is disrespectful to the decree, and there is a possibility that the Spirit King will be demoted to a concubine, and it can even be said that the Spirit King is protected because of his own princess.
If he received the holy decree, the Spirit King remembered what Qian Mo said in his ear that day: "Our Spirit King does not accept concubines or marry side concubines, so I smashed all the beds in the palace." ”
In a trance, he seemed to remember the story that Qian Mo told him that day, a huge pain hit his heart, and a calculated anger rushed into his mind.
The emperor had no intention of condemning the Nian family at all, but he didn't want to let it go directly, so he threw this hot potato to himself, and at the same time interspersed his relationship with Qianmo.
Hearing this, the young emperor's eyes widened, this young emperor's methods were really ruthless.
This emperor didn't think about convicting himself from the beginning, and the result of today's early dynasty was just that King Ling got a side concubine.
He closed his painful eyes, and suddenly reluctantly felt that Qianmo, who had been married to the Spirit King's Mansion, was sorry for you for his father.
He was more and more preoccupied, and he spent more and more time in a daze, and I could feel the more and more gloomy aura of the man next to me, and others were beside me, but his mind drifted far away, and I couldn't touch a clue from afar.
When I got up early, I saw the housekeeper building a new bed, and I looked coldly, this man was going to sleep in a separate bed with me again? He was still so happy when I said I was going to have a baby with him a few days ago, why did it suddenly become like this?
I tried to ask him, but I found that I couldn't find him again as soon as he left the house.
This realization made me a little hesitant.
The people in the Spirit King's Mansion didn't seem to dare to talk to me, except for Ye Qing beside me, even the housekeeper was just respectful, which made me feel upset when I looked at it.
With the ascension of Long Yuzun, the new emperor, there always seemed to be an impenetrable barrier between Long Yuling and me, and it was only at this moment that I realized that I knew too little about my husband.
I sat in the Qianmo Pavilion, thinking that the Spirit King had left early and returned late, and he had been talking less recently, and I always felt as if something huge had happened in this seemingly peaceful Spirit King Mansion.
This scene is so familiar, in my dream, I was still a girl next to me, and she cruelly told me that the prince raised a woman outside the house, just like the old man raised a woman in another courtyard.
The prince raised a woman outside the mansion, and this word hit my heart hard.
I stood up and took Ye Qing back to Nianfu.
"Dad, tell me, what happened to the morning when you were judging whether you were guilty or not?" I pushed open the study of Nianfu and captured the guilt and sadness that Nianxiang had not yet dodged.
"Qianmo, I'm sorry for you for my father." When he saw me, he knelt down at me with tears in his eyes.
My heart was shocked, the father knelt down to his daughter, is this going to break my life?
I helped him up, he looked at my beautiful face and said softly: "For my father, I can't bear not to look for you these days, because I am afraid that someone can't help but tell you." That morning, His Majesty gave Liu Ruyan, the daughter of Liu Shangshu, to King Ling as a side concubine. ”
I seemed to be like five thunderbolts, "How can you give him a good marriage?" I shuddered and took a step back, muttered silently, and sat heavily on the chair beside me.
I stayed in the mortuary house, and the original people in the mortuary were still there.
The word concubine became my magic barrier, and I couldn't sleep all night.
The price, the retribution, in order to protect the family of the whole year, I have to accept this side concubine who came inexplicably.
The Spirit King looked at this woman with pain between his eyebrows on the roof, watching her tossing and turning appearance, his heart was suffocating, he hated for the first time that he had no right to refuse the imperial brother's fluttering words, and he still remembered that when he raised his head and looked directly at his imperial brother, the imperial brother's calculating eyes also swept straight towards him.
For a long time, we were all safe and sound, and I gradually accepted that he was going to marry a side concubine, I looked at the red silk gradually hanging in the mansion, and watched more and more people in the Lingwang Mansion come to congratulate and exchange, hiding in the room all day long and not going out.
"Ye Qing, where is the prince?"
I took the tea handed over by Ye Qing and asked casually.
It used to be that I had too much luxury, or was Long Yuzun right, how could my identity allow me not to marry into the royal family, and how could the royal family have only one woman.
It was my delusional power, and he never explained half a point, nor did he express his resistance and dissatisfaction. He marries a side concubine, which is just ordinary for him, so why care about other people's feelings.
Looking at the red silk hanging in the house, I felt that it was very eye-catching, and the joy of the corners of the eyes and eyebrows of the maids who came and went was even more annoyed.
He's only been married for two months.
Maybe there are so many things that have happened in the past two months, he actually has very few words, I don't even know if he loves himself the same, he doesn't say, I don't ask, even if he sleeps on the same collapse all night, and usually what he does all night is his destruction of my body.
Even if there is no Concubine Liu today, there will be Concubine Li and Concubine Cheng in the future, thinking of this, I took a sip of tea indifferently.
"The prince hasn't come back yet."
Ye Qing looked at me with an unkind face and said cautiously.
"Let's go, go to Wanhualou."
I only took Ye Qing out, and the housekeeper didn't say anything when he saw it, and sighed and went to do something else.
I love to run out more and more, he seems to have suddenly given me a lot of freedom, even if I go out of the house alone, he has not said anything to stop me, and no one has come to look for me.
When I knew that Long Yuzun, who had become the emperor, handed over the title deed of Wanhualou to me through Lao Bustard, I accepted it without hesitation, I needed capital other than the Lingwang Mansion.
"Master."
Wuji sat in front of me, neither moving nor speaking.
I sneered, this Wuji is even less than the Spirit King's words, and I don't expect him to say anything comforting to me at this moment, if most of those words are false now, no one's words can change this ending, change the fact that he wants one more side concubine.
No matter how drunk I am, no matter how busy I am, in the dead of night, I still think of that man who is going to marry someone else's woman in the future, and his palm is no longer holding me alone, and his arms are no longer mine.
Every time I think about it, I use alcohol to numb my nerves.
Gradually, I didn't even go back to the palace.
I even wondered if even if one day, I just left, he wouldn't find someone to take me back.
I have lived a month like this, and I can't sleep all night, but I am resting on the collapse during the day, and this day and night are reversed.
Even if I tossed myself so much, he never showed up again.
Finally, on the day when he used ten miles of red makeup to marry another woman, I was drunk, and at his wedding to marry the side concubine, I also blessed him with red eyes to marry someone else.
"Today's prince is overjoyed, and the concubine is congratulating first." I drank the last sip of wine, lost the wine bottle, and went back to the Agarwood Garden with Ye Qing's support, this courtyard is the courtyard where he personally carried me in three months ago.
I was drunk and thought carefully about what had happened in the past two months, and deeply regretted that I had fallen in love with this man, if I hadn't fallen in love, would I not have to be so embarrassed and miserable today.
If I hadn't fallen in love, I should have generously sat in the front hall to receive the ladies who came and went, and generously arranged everything for the concubine.
But I can't.
And the Spirit King in the wedding robe was pulled by one of the emperor's henchmen to speak, I just glanced at him lightly and left.
It's late at night, and he should be spending candles in the cave room.
My eyes darkened at the thought of this, and I had to advance my schedule to leave.
Liu Ruyan sat upright in the room and waited all night, but she didn't see her husband come to the new house.
It wasn't until the sky was white that Long Yuling returned to the new room tiredly, and when he saw the woman sitting upright, he suddenly remembered when he married the woman, he went to the cave room early but saw that she had already slept.
He hung his head in annoyance, and raised his feet and went out the door again.
I didn't find that woman all night last night, thinking of this, the Spirit King darkened his eyes, has he been too indulgent to that woman recently, he doesn't know that she likes to run out more and more, but except for sending secret guards to follow, he himself doesn't have the courage and courage to stand in front of her and question her.
I looked at Wuji beside me, and I didn't know why I was in Wanhualou with Wuji.
"I've been following you ever since I knew that the Spirit King was marrying a side concubine. Seeing you lying asleep on the cold ground, I brought you here, I guess you may not want to stay in the Spirit King's Mansion at the moment, and see the palace so festive. ”
"Really? You know what he knows, but he doesn't," I took the hot tea he handed over.
I went back to the palace anyway.
The Spirit King looked at the increasingly cold and expressionless woman, watching her become more and more alienated from herself. Suddenly he was frightened, and the feeling that she was always going to leave rose from the bottom of his heart.
Everyone looked at me, and this princess disappeared for a whole night when the princess married the side concubine.
The housekeeper sighed and shook his head, the prince looked for the princess for a night yesterday, and the princess hid for a night, he was very reluctant to these two people in his heart, and even didn't like the side concubine who entered the door yesterday.
