If it weren't for him, how could she have been hiding all these years, and if it weren't for him, how could she not be by Hui'er's side all these years, so that Hui'er didn't treat her closely.

Zhao Yuge hid behind the door frame, his body trembled, and he covered his mouth with his hand for fear of accidentally shouting.

Princess Yi is undoubtedly the kindest, simplest and most empathetic in her eyes, but today's performance and expression of Princess Yi fell in Zhao Yuge's eyes, she was not as beautiful as she thought.

The emperor has announced to the world that Emperor Jing's concubine gave birth to a dragon son who celebrates the whole world, and named Emperor Jing's concubine as the queen of the west, and her son is the crown prince. Post the imperial list and the capital and the locality, His Majesty specially exempted the tax for one year, and the people are rejoicing, and they all say that the prince is their Buddha and Bodhisattva.

Chaohua Palace.

Luo Bingjing was teasing Qing'er in her arms, and Shi Zhu walked into the hall in a panic, her eyes slightly swollen, and she reported:

"Qi Qi master, Concubine Jing hanged herself."

Luo Bingjing suddenly raised her head and looked at Shi Zhu, how could Sima Jing hang herself, she came to visit her a few days ago, how could Sima Jing hang herself in just a few days.

"When did it happen? There are rumors about why Concubine Jing hanged herself. ”

Shi Zhu's eyes turned red, Sima Jing's kindness to the master, and they all saw in their eyes, how could a person who had no quarrel with the world, how could a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune and far away from right and wrong, how could he not think of hanging himself.

"When the slave maid went to the imperial garden, she heard the discussion of the palace people and realized that Concubine Jing hanged herself yesterday. Among them, the palace maid of Chengfeng Palace once said that the Empress Dowager Taizu had gone to the Buddhist hall to find Concubine Jing, but when she was half a pillar of incense, the news of Concubine Jing's self-hanging came out. The slave maid guessed that Concubine Jing's death had a lot to do with the Empress Dowager Taizu. ”

The corners of Luo Bingjing's eyes were moist, not only did she have a great deal to do with the Empress Dowager Taizu, Sima Jing was given death by the Empress Dowager Taizu.

How could the Empress Dowager Taizu allow an unstable factor to exist in the harem, the reason why the Empress Dowager Taizu has not moved Sima Jing must have Hou Hongwen's maneuvering.

Now the reason why the Empress Dowager Taizu gave Sima Jing to death is to give Hou Hongwen a warning and vent her dissatisfaction.

It made her live in guilt, after all, if it weren't for Hou Hongwen disobeying the Empress Dowager Taizu because of her and Qing'er, how could the Empress Dowager Taizu move Sima Jing, the Empress Dowager Taizu is killing chickens and setting an example.

Chengfeng Palace.

Hou Hongwen's eyes were red, his fists clenched and he looked at the Empress Dowager Taizu who was leisurely enjoying tea, and asked:

"You promised me that you would let Jing'er live, why did you go back on your word, why did you give Jing'er death. You know Jing'er's background, you know that Jing'er is a lovely person, why do you still treat her like this, you are too disappointed in me. ”

"Disappointed? It was you who disappointed the mourning family, if it weren't for your disobedience to the mourning family several times, how could the mourning family move Sima Jing. It is true that the mourning family pities her, but it does not mean that the mourning family can watch her escape the control of the mourning family and try to help Luo Bingjing. The mourning family knows its misfortune, but the world of the weak can only complain about its mother. ”

The Empress Dowager Taizu threw the priceless porcelain cup in her hand to the ground, and she gave Hou Hongwen a warning again that if she wanted to disobey her, if she wanted to get out of her control, the only thing waiting for them was death.

Hou Hongwen's temples jumped suddenly, and the blue tendons on his face burst out, he was now in a state of anger, but he couldn't solve the old woman in front of him who had been threatening him and oppressing him.

Empress Dowager Taizu looked at Hou Hongwen's current expression, and a trace of contempt and disdain flashed in her eyes.

In this way, he was angered by the mourning family. In this way, the idea of killing the mourning family arose. Cowardice and incompetence, the bloodline of the Hou family will always be a wreck. obviously wanted to tear apart the mourning family, but he had to endure it. is obviously an emperor, but he wants to be a dog in the hands of the mourning family. Now it is Sima Jing who is dying, if the emperor is doing something that angers the mourning family, it is Luo Bingjing's mother and son who are dead. ”

Hou Hongwen's eyes were full of murderous intent, the stronger this hatred, the more joyful the Empress Dowager Taizu's heart became, and she wished that Hou Hongwen would be able to finish her off with her own hands now.

Only in this way is he worthy of the cold-blooded ruthlessness of the King of God.

Hou Hongwen suppressed the bloodthirsty intention in his heart, how could he not know that this was the trap of the Empress Dowager Taizu, he didn't want to be a cold-blooded and ruthless person, he didn't want to be a murderer, and he didn't want to kill his relatives.

The Empress Dowager Taizu is to temper him into a person with an iron heart and no seven emotions and six desires, which is not as good as the walking dead.

"The Empress Dowager Taizu will never become the emperor that the Empress Dowager Taizu expects, this world is not a world controlled by a tyrant. I am a human being, a living person. I have seven emotions and six desires, good and evil, and kindness. If the Empress Dowager Taizu persecuted me like this, don't blame me for being ruthless to you. ”

Taizu and Empress Dowager's countenance were full of mockery: "Ruthless? How ruthless, whether to imprison the mourning family or kill the mourning family. Your Majesty, you are the bloodline descendant of the mourning family, you have the ambition of the mourning family, you are as selfish and cold-blooded and ruthless as the mourning family, the mourning family was able to kill relatives and children in righteousness, and the emperor mourning family believes that you will be more than the mourning family in the future. ”

Hou Hongwen stabilized the anger in his heart, his face softened slightly, and he said calmly:

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the Empress Dowager Taizu, I will never live like the Empress Dowager Taizu. I have ordered Sima Jing to be named the concubine of the Emperor Wende, and she has been buried with the rites of the imperial concubine. This is what she deserves, I guess that when the Empress Dowager Taizu dreams back at midnight, she will meet Sima Jing, and she will meet Mrs. Sima who sacrificed her life to save you. ”

After finishing speaking, Hou Hongwen turned around and left, and before he left the main hall, he heard the sound of porcelain breaking behind him.

Jin Guogong Mansion.

The current Jin Guogong is Jin Yinggong.

Duke Jin Ying stood beside the old lady of Jin Guogong, wiping her face with a brocade handkerchief in her hand, and muttered to herself:

"Grandmother, now that the Jin Guogong Mansion has ended up like this, it is what Grandmother expects. Grandmother, you and the Empress Dowager Taizu have fought for a lifetime, and after three dynasties and four generations, the Hou family has been around the country. But in the end, grandmother, you open your eyes and see what your children and grandchildren have become, and what you have become. From the beginning of the prosperity to the current downfall, from the beginning of the branches and leaves, to today's green and yellow, and even the rare descendants of the Jin family, all died in the fight with the Empress Dowager Taizu. Grandmother, have you ever regretted what you have done in your life, and have you ever repented for your children and grandchildren that you took their lives? ”

There was a deep hatred in Jin Yinggong's eyes, if it weren't for the old lady of Jin Guo, how could his wife be separated, if it wasn't for what the old lady of Jin Guo had done over the years, how could the Jin Guogong Mansion become the dead silence and gloom it is now.

The children and grandchildren who were once bustling in the house have long since lost their lives and imperial power, and the few rooms that once fought with you and me are now empty, and the old men, young masters, girls, and ladies who once disliked the courtyard and the small love mansion, where did they go now, they can meet on the bridge and reunite in the underworld.

The eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother who used to drink with him all left one step ahead of him, and the nephews and nieces who once called his uncle and second uncle around him died tragically one by one.
