Extra 002: Withdrawn
My ribs seemed to be broken, and I slammed into the ground with a thud, and the pain made me think I was going to die...
Someone came to help me, it was the third brother, but he was too thin, as thin as me, and was quickly pulled back by his mother, and said to the emperor with a smile that Chen'er was not sensible, and hoped that the emperor would not be angry.
The prince also came out at this moment, and said to his father with a smile that he wanted a squire to accompany him, and he asked me by name.
"It's okay, it just so happened that Ling'er lost her mother and was taken care of by the queen, and I was also relieved."
The emperor's eyes didn't even sweep to the queen to know what the queen was going to refuse, so his face was blue, and he looked like he didn't eat oil and salt.
The words that the queen was about to refuse rolled up and swallowed back the moment she saw Liang Guifei covering her lips and chuckling, nodded and said: "Yes, the concubine must take care of Ling'er, but since Ling'er wants to be Zun'er's companion, it is better to let Ling'er move to the East Palace to live, anyway, only Zun'er is lonely in the East Palace, so it is quite appropriate for the two brothers to support each other, what does the saint think?" ”
"Naturally, it's good, the queen has always been the mother of the world, and it is natural to take care of the prince, but Ling'er is naughty, and Queen Lao is bothered,"
"It's not bothersome, Ling'er has been smart since she was a child, but her personality is stronger, but it doesn't matter, Erchen will raise Ling'er well,"
With just a few words, I ushered in the time when I was too dim for the next four years to mention or even want to remember.
"Your Majesty,"
The chief eunuch looked at the emperor who was gloomy in the dark and didn't dare to speak, but because Liang Guifei coerced and tempted him again, saying that he must see the emperor, no, he still came in hard, respectfully waisted and shouted The emperor,
The emperor didn't speak, he was closing his eyes to recuperate, all that flashed in his mind was the scene of the youngest son crawling out of the coffin, it was his excellent ear that heard the sound inside the coffin, and he used his internal force to push the coffin away from afar.
But this move should have been seen by the queen mother standing beside her, but many things don't need to be said on the bright side at all, because between him and the coffin, there are not only the queen mother, but also those civil and military officials, it is impossible for no one to hear, those people pretend not to hear, it can be seen that if he defends Ling'er on the spot, it is estimated that Ling'er will die faster, instead of being able to recuperate in the palace now.
He suspected it when the queen came in at the beginning and said that Ling'er was so sick that she was going to die, but Liang Guifei was eyeing her, and the harem could not fall into the hands of Liang Guifei alone, and he, the emperor, also needed to cultivate his own power in the harem to maintain the balance of the harem.
So when the queen wanted Ling'er to die, he was so helpless that he turned a blind eye and let him resign himself to fate.
After all, he needs the power of the queen to contain the rising momentum of the Liang family.
The Liang family has grown so strong that the emperor needs to regress on something.
His head was buzzing, and he was still thinking about how to keep that Ling'er safe.
There is also a reason why he arranged for Ling'er to accompany Long Yuzun, at least in the East Palace, Liang Guifei's hand can't reach his side.
He understands why the people in this palace are disgusted with the existence of Long Yuling, although he is the son of heaven and asks himself to control the power of the world, but the affairs of the harem and the affairs of the previous dynasty, he feels powerless to deal with them, and each has his own constraints and hurts the people around him.
"Your Majesty?"
"Say !! something"
This sentence was simple, but when the eunuch heard the anger contained in this sentence, a pair of eagle-like eyes shot at the eunuch, and when he saw that the eunuch was frightened, he began to look out of the door.
"Liang Guifei asks to see,"
"Got it, tell her to go back, I'll go over and have dinner with her tonight,"
"Yes, but Concubine Liang Guifei came with the second prince this time, and the second prince said that he wanted to greet you."
"Hmph, she just saw that Zun'er had Ling'er to accompany her, so she jumped to her feet in a hurry and came with Qing'er."
"Yes, Emperor Shengming."
Hearing this, the emperor rubbed his temples tiredly, and said sarcastically: "Where am I Shengming, but Liang Guifei's recent actions have become bigger and bigger, I'm afraid I will come to force me to send Ling'er to her Cedar Palace to be Qing'er's playmate."
The eunuch who heard this didn't dare to answer, most of the time the emperor really didn't talk to you at all, nor did he want to listen to your opinions, the emperor was lonely, and many things that couldn't be said to those concubines could only be said to him, the eunuch, and he had to tacitly treat it as if he hadn't heard what the emperor said.
"I told you that you don't understand, Ling'er must be uncomfortable in the East Palace, don't you have a very useful apprentice? Quietly arrange to go to the East Palace and help Ling'er privately."
The eunuch's eyes narrowed, and he said tactfully: "The prince is benevolent and kind, and he will definitely treat the four princes well, is the emperor too worried about this?" ”
The chief eunuch asked cautiously, afraid that the tone of which sentence was wrong would make the emperor angry, and he tried his best to say the words tactfully, and sure enough, this sentence provoked the emperor to raise his eyebrows, and he ordered with some displeasure: "I will arrange it if you ask you, and I will naturally have a reason for doing this."
"Yes, yes, the old slave is talkative, but if the emperor makes such an arrangement like this, if the queen mother knows..."
Before he could speak, he heard a cool sentence above his head: "If the queen mother knows, it is the incompetence of you, the chief eunuch, don't forget, although the queen mother is kind to you, the person who was in charge of the harem is still me."
This is serious, there is a suspicion that the queen is above the emperor, the legs of the big monitor are weak, and he immediately promised: "Yes, the old slave will make proper arrangements."
The eunuch went out, and his back was in a cold sweat, although he wiped the sweat on his forehead when he knew about this matter, he remembered that Liang Guifei was still waiting outside, and the heart he had just put down hung again, this matter was not easy to deal with at all, and it made him offend people everywhere.
Because Liang Guifei couldn't see the emperor, Liang Guifei definitely wanted to sprinkle anger on his head, and sure enough, before he finished speaking, he heard Liang Guifei say in a sharp voice: "What? The emperor said that no one would be seen? ”
"Yes, that's what the emperor meant when he said it. Niangniang, you see that the emperor has been angry about the affairs of the four princes recently, and he is angry, so it's good if you don't see him."
"Hmph, did the emperor still leave a side message?" Liang Guifei also knew that the emperor, who was not seen by everyone, also included the queen, and when she thought of this, the breath in her heart was smooth, so she changed her arrogance, and suddenly put up a shelf, with the concubine's uniform, Liang Guifei was even more graceful and luxurious, and her momentum was close to today's queen mother.
The inner courtyard of the palace doesn't know what kind of trend has become because of my affairs, and I, I don't know how long I have been asleep, but my whole body seems to have been run over by the wheels of the carriage back and forth, and the pain is incomprehensible, especially in my chest, and it seems that it is difficult to even take a breath.
It is indeed difficult, I heard the imperial doctor say that the bones in my body are broken, the chest cavity is bloody, and I miss my mother into a disease, and it is difficult to express my depression, which has led to such fragility now, I have been sick in the prince's east palace for half a year, and I have never been good on and off.
And during this period, the prince did not ask me to accompany the study, but the prince's torture of me began silently, that day of the prince's birthday, I saw my father from afar, he was still so heroic, he seemed to be asking the prince about his schoolwork, but the prince seemed to be unable to answer, and my father saw me hiding in the corner, and asked me if I would,
If I had known that the prince had begun to hate me because of such a small matter, I think that on that day, I would have shook my head and said that I don't know, and it doesn't matter if others laugh at me.
I heard the second brother mock the prince and said that the prince's knowledge was not as good as that of a companion in his own house, and I saw that the prince praised me in front of my father at that time, and said that although I was sick, I still worked very hard.
Later, when I grew up, I realized that it was I who stole him, the crown prince, from the limelight.
The house used to be just an idler, but now the prince's happiness seems to be to see me in pain, to frown at me, to bleed from me, and to laugh happily and wantonly when he sees me fall into the mud pit he dug and covered with mud.
There are a lot of people who have always seen the wind and rudder, and gradually the people in those houses began to bully me, I am sometimes curious, he is the prince, he is not good at studying, not doing his homework well, why are there so many fragmentary methods of torturing people in his head,
Sometimes I really envy him for being able to enter the palace and go to see his father and his mother, and my mother I don't know where she was buried, I was even thinking in the ice cellar, will I never have the opportunity to go to my mother's tomb in my life to kowtow to her, do my filial piety,
Every midwinter, I always almost froze to death in the ice cellar of the East Palace, but there was always a kind-faced middle-aged man to help me, so that I would not die silently in this cold East Palace.
And while I was looking forward to the end of this time, the day when I was once again close to death came.
It was a good day for the second dragon to raise its head in the second month of spring, I heard that my father was going out to hunt, and I was also taken by the prince to the hunting ground, everything went smoothly, if you ignore the arrow on my leg that was shot into by Long Yuqing,
The scene seemed to be flustered, and I couldn't perceive it, I lay down on the bed in the East Palace again, and I seemed to hear someone say that day the father praised the second brother's archery skills were very accurate, and his archery skills were indeed very accurate, I heard that General Liang selected a first-class archer from the barracks to teach.
And the time when I was only half a step away from death again was the prince's immature face with a wicked smile on it, and he said to the second brother next to him very arrogantly: "Father said last time that your archery skills are very accurate, and the fourth brother has been recuperating from his injuries for a few months, and the prince has also practiced hard for a few months, now let's compare?" ”
There are many ways to compare archery, and after the final discussion, they chose to use me as a target.
And I have no right to refuse.
With a thud, the arrow stabbed and sank into my chest, and I seemed to hear their wanton laughter, and I fell straight to the ground, and with a bang, a lot of dust was splashed into my mouth and nose.
Blood trickled out, and I looked at the cloudless summer sky and thought to myself, if I don't die, I will take revenge for this day in the future.
When I woke up with hatred, there was only the middle-aged man who had been taking care of him for four years, and I didn't even know what his name was.
I looked at the person in front of me who took care of him and seemed to be stunned, he should be stunned, I haven't said a word for half a month, I saw him smile at me lovingly, but he didn't say much,
And I still looked at him directly, as if he was a little weak-hearted, he laughed a little, raised the medicine bottle and towel in his hand, and said softly: "The old slave just changed the medicine for you, this medicine has a good effect on the recovery of the wound, you will definitely get better,"
And I feel that I am becoming more and more indifferent, more and more withdrawn, I seem to have reached the point of hatred of the world, except for this Uncle Fu, I no longer talk to people, I don't seem to perceive the complexity of the outside world, and those deceit seem to have nothing to do with me.
The prince himself is a person who doesn't care if I die, so naturally no one seriously treats my injuries.
"Uncle Fu, can you help me tell my father? When my mother never died, he promised my mother that when I was sensible, he would let me leave the palace and set up another palace, and I will be ten years old tomorrow, and I can already set up another mansion."
I'm thinking very simply, I'm just thinking, if I still live in this East Palace, I'm afraid that no one will know if I die.
So I want to move out of this East Palace.
I know that the man in front of me is not that simple, but I can know that he can pass this sentence to my father.
I never thought about it before, but when I complained about my father's injustice in front of Uncle Fu, he asked me not to say that, he said that the emperor had a last resort, and I was thinking that he was a person next to my father, otherwise why would he always help me when he dared to make fun of me in the entire East Palace for so many years.
I lived in the newly renovated mansion that my father gave me, the Lingwang Mansion,
I didn't really expect my father to remember my birthday, but he still remembered, he ordered the eunuch to quietly come and ask me what I wanted, the eunuch's words were clear, saying that so long had passed, and the opposition of the previous dynasty was not as strong as four years ago, and now I put forward a request to bury my mother in the imperial mausoleum, and he can help me complete it.
I couldn't help but feel a sour when I heard the eunuch say this, it turned out that he had always remembered this matter, although I was very stubborn and minded about this matter, but I wouldn't say that my father could use the things of the emperor in the past, and if I want to take revenge, I must look back.
I asked Uncle Fu to come to my mansion to be the housekeeper of the Lingwang Mansion for me, I know that he has the trust of his father, let him fabricate some things in front of his father, and my father believes it.
Many times I also wonder if I will live up to my mother's expectations when I am only ten years old, and I have already lived such a successful life.
