The sadness on her face subsided, and she withdrew her gaze from him, and spoke in a tone like sleepwalking: "When I met that person, I was still very young, about thirteen or fourteen years old......"

He immediately knew that the "person" in her mouth was Gu Linsheng, and almost at the same time, jealousy surged up from his chest, but he tried to endure it and listened to her voice speak coldly

"His appearance is one of the best I have ever seen, his face is clear and cold, and at first glance he looks unapproachable, but when he laughs, he can melt people's hearts......"

He treats her very considerately, and his etiquette is also very scrupulous, and his appearance and temperament are impeccable.

"It's just that his family background is not good, although he is resourceful and extremely motivated, when he lived in Yaozhou, there were many local Confucians and magnates who came to make friends and visit, but the Qin family still looked down on him, and just found a little sign between us, he forced us to break off contact. Several brothers in the family are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they don't know what means to use against him behind their backs. ”

I don't know if it's because of this, but when I met again later, I was like a different person, colder than before, and I got power, and I just wanted to go up.

Later, when she heard that he had married the daughter of the Xiang family, her career was smooth, and her heart died when she learned the news.

Two years later, he went to Beijing to be an official, caught up with the queen mother and fell ill, and summoned her to the palace to serve the sick. She always thought that it would be better if she hadn't met at that time.

She is also a very backbone woman, knowing that he has already married a wife, he doesn't want to entangle with him anymore, but he wants to provoke her, probably to take revenge on her, revenge for the Qin family's trampling on him back then, he tried his best to coax her and seduce her, until the flame that had been extinguished in her heart was rekindled, until she drowned again.

When he was caught in the struggle for imperial power, she used the power of her family to secretly contribute a lot to him.

Not long after, the Mo family came to discuss marriage, and the Queen Mother, in order to stabilize the overall situation, regardless of her resistance, made a decree to decide her marriage.

At that time, she cried for an unknown number of times, and she resisted and hated the Mo family.

She was unwilling, crying and running to find him, but this search got out of control and was entangled all night.

Her desperate struggle is more like a dying struggle. This dying struggle did not bring him nostalgia and affection.

At that time, he was still in a position in the court, and if he was entangled with her, he would inevitably be notorious, and he would lose the support of the Xiang family, how could he be so stupid.

Afterward? Later, she was disheartened, drenched in blood, and woke up from a yellow dream, she still married into the Mo family.

This marriage is another twenty years of entanglement and struggle.

Mo Shaoqing loves her, but the deeper the love, the deeper the resentment, how hard he tried to warm her up at the beginning, and how ruthlessly he snubbed her later. He was ecstatic when he learned that she was pregnant, and he was the one who thundered when he doubted the child's bloodline.

She turned her face, with a disappointed indifference on her beautiful face, and called him: "Master Hou, I gave birth to two children for you, but your suspicion of me has never stopped. ”

In the sixth year of marrying him, she thought about death. Now that I think about it, I was probably fascinated by ghosts for a while.

She was a sinful mother who thought of taking her two innocent children to die with her.

Dingyuan Hou blushed, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Qin Duyu, do you hate me like this?" ”

"Hate? Maybe. Isn't it the same for Hou Ye? ”

He was with her, but they tortured each other.

But at that time, she never thought that he would take the lead in carrying her out of the fire regardless of the safety of her two children.

If you hate her so much, why do you care so much about her life or death?

Her two children, one had their eyes burned in that fire, and the other nearly died.

Her six-year-old daughter, who should have been cared for in the palm of her hand, chose to share her sins in order to keep her alive.

If it weren't for that, she would have sought death.

However, she should have atonemented for her sins, but she locked herself in the Buddhist hall and faced her messy life with an attitude of escape.

He was only afraid that he had been tormented by guilt for many years, when he clearly heard Shaoyuan's heart-rending cry in the sea of fire, but he still chose to save their mother first, so over the years, he was so doting on Shaoyuan, and did his best to agree to all his requests. But he vented all his hatred for her on their innocent daughter.

"Master Hou, as parents, we are not qualified enough."

The words fell softly, and she walked to the door, her hands pulling open the door that had trapped her for years.

She closed her eyes slightly, and opened them again to meet the sunlight.

Her youngest daughter has suffered all the way since she was born in this world, and her mother has never protected her, and now that her life is coming to an end, she can no longer continue to be selfish.

Ling'an, Chengwu Palace.

After King Chengwu returned to Beijing, he placed Xu Yuan in the annex of the palace, and before he had time to rest, he received a holy decree and entered the palace to face the saint.

Xu Yuan sent him to the atrium, his brows tightened: "The prince left Beijing without permission this time, it is really reckless, the saint is already afraid of the military power in your hands, and you are causing trouble at such a sensitive time, you are simply deliberately sending a handle to ......"

Halfway through the words, his mouth was blocked by him, he left slightly, and his slender fingers rested on her cheek: "This king knows it in his heart." The other hand found her hand and shook it tightly, the movement hidden between the sleeves of her coat, and no one noticed.

He instructed the subordinates of the palace beside him, and said, "The matter of this king's entry into the palace is temporarily hidden from the concubine. He turned his face to the girl in front of him, "The palace now has you, this king can rest assured." If this king can't come back, this palace will be handed over to you, and if the matter is more serious, I will find a way to take my mother and concubine out of Ling'an. Ah Yuan, I believe you have the ability. ”

Xu Yuan didn't have time to care about his sudden change of title, he only felt that his words seemed to be explaining the aftermath, and immediately frowned again: "The prince is talking nonsense, it's weird and scary." ”

He smiled, his eyebrows looked even more handsome, his figure was extremely slender, and he was wearing a python robe with dark narrow sleeves, which was even more impressive. I don't know if it's because he has taken advantage of her a few times, but she feels that the face in front of her is more pleasing to the eye than usual.

He patted her lightly on the head, turned and strode away.

Xu Yuan held the thing he had given him at the right time, and his expression was a little solemn. If it was okay in ordinary times, he chose such a sensitive period to leave Beijing without authorization, for fear that someone in the inner court would make a big fuss about it.

King Chengwu didn't know that this was a good opportunity, a good opportunity to force him to hand over the talisman. Since the new emperor ascended to the throne, the second prince is a potential threat to the throne, and as the cousin-in-law of the second prince, the forces in his hands will only become more and more dazzling in the eyes of some people......

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the palace, he was detained by a team of forbidden soldiers, saying that he was temporarily detained and waiting to be released.

It's a good one to wait for.

Today's capital is full of criss-crossing strings, all of which are secretly tightened, and I don't know where they will be broken first.

A few days later, Cui Yu returned to Ling'an with the news that the Tatars were demanding peace, and the scourge finally showed signs of subsidence. However, the war with the Tatars cost nearly one million in military expenditure, the treasury became increasingly empty, the taxes became heavier and heavier, and the people's lives deteriorated.

It was about this year that the disasters were endless, and the world could not find a convincing reason, so they could only think that there must be demons when things went wrong. The last time such a situation occurred, it was during the Yuan You period, and in that year, a rumor was sung in the streets and alleys of Dajing:

"The traitorous ministers are in charge, the people are not happy, the demon star is guilty of the moon, and there will be a disaster year."

That year was the year of the establishment of the Tingwei Division. It is said that the original song was sung by an old man, and his body was hung at the entrance of the vegetable market that day.

Now, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and the year name has only been changed for less than a month, and this rumor is like a cicada that has been dormant for many years, shouting again in the dark night.

"What a 'traitorous minister is in charge, and the people are not happy'." The man in silver and gray brocade sat on the chair with the yellow pear unicorn pattern, knowing that he was talking about it, and there was still an indifferent sneer on his face, and his slender fingers lifted the tea lid, and asked, "Is there anything new to say?" ”

"There's another story." The brocade lang was silent for a moment, and his voice was a little weak, "Gu Linsheng was wronged back then, and the rebellion was nothing, and there were more than 200 mouths in the Gu Mansion, all of them were unjust ghosts under the hands of adults, and you are the wolf ambition of your lord." He added, "There are still people who are blowing the wind in the ears of the saint, and they want to re-investigate the old cases of the year." ”

After being silent for a long time, he raised his head and saw Shen Hanxi looking at him, and cold sweat dripped down when he landed.

"Their intentions are well understood, and they don't need to pay attention to them. Inquire about where King Chengwu is being held, and the official must find a way to meet this prince. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, he inquired about the place, and he was free to go back and forth in this forbidden court, but he had to guard against people's eyes and ears, and it was already late at night when he met. No matter how big the prince's heart is, it is difficult to sleep on such a night, and when he saw this unexpected person pushing the door in, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Shen Hanxi took off the hat of the cloak and greeted in a casual tone: "How are you doing these days?" ”

"Thanks to Lord Shen, it's just that the friendship between this king and Lord Shen is not enough for you to worry about, right?"

Neither of them was a person who was willing to do Tai Chi, so the uninvited visitor unceremoniously picked up a seat and sat down, and got straight to the point: "There is a deal to find the prince, the prince may wish to listen to see if it is a good deal." ”

The prince with a strong physique smiled when he heard this: "This king is now difficult to protect himself, I don't know what kind of cost-effective deal can still fall on this king." Lord Shen said, this king listened. ”

took the tea lid and picked up the tea cigarette, and paused for a moment before saying: "The prince has been locked up for a few days, I haven't heard rumors outside, many people are shouting to 'Qingjun side, Su court', this Qingjun side should be me, I don't expect that no one will dare to raise this head, it is very likely that it is just a bark, but this dog barking is really not enough to hear, since someone forced me to rebel, then I will show him." After a few days, there will be a real uproar, and the prince may not be able to release it, and he will be implicated, so it is not as good as joining forces with me. Raising his eyes in the smoke of tea, he asked, "How?" ”
