Cen Jiang took the letter and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Helian Qi didn't say it sooner or later, and he had to wait until after he resigned; Helian Ming didn't come early or late, but he came in time for the two mothers to give birth...... Holy Lord, can there be deception in this? ”

"Whether there is fraud or not, it is better to kill the wrong one than to let it go." Emperor Tianzhu's face was cold and gloomy, and his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: "With Helian Qi's courage, he may not dare to commit this crime of bullying the king." Even if he escapes and leaves, there will still be his people...... You must know that if he lies, I will punish the whole clan. ”

In the eyes of Emperor Tianzhi, the head of the Helian clan is not as good as the generation, at least in terms of courage, it is becoming more and more cautious, which is disappointing. Helian Qi is the same, and Helian Ming is the same, but they are all caught in the whirlpool of conspiracy.

"Actually, you don't have to send the Helian clan, it has already fallen, and the marriage relationship with the Ming clan is enough for them. Judging from this situation, if the Helian clan does not have a strong patriarch within two generations, it will be a matter of time before it declines. Cen Jiang analyzed.

"A strong patriarch?" Emperor Tianzhu sneered: "Not everyone is like the Yun family, even widows can get on the stage. ”

Cen Jiang didn't know who the "widow" was referring to by Emperor Tianzhu, but whether it was Mrs. Xie or Mrs. Zhuxiu, it was undoubtedly a very high evaluation from the emperor, but the tone was inappropriate.

Cen Jiang sighed secretly, and was deeply convinced of the evaluation of the Heavenly Emperor. He thought for a while, and then expressed another doubt in his heart: "If Helian Qi continues to hide it, we may not be able to find out anything; If he told him sincerely, why did it take so long? ”

In Cen Jiang's opinion, if Helian Qi had told the truth earlier, those waves would not have appeared. If the emperor takes more precautions against the Feng Dynasty Palace, Zihan will live well, Mingzhang's treacherous plan will not succeed, King Weiyuan will not go around the ghost gate, and the Emperor of Heaven will not hurt his mind because of this, and even almost fell out with Concubine Dan and King Cheng.

And all these incidents that shouldn't have happened actually originated from a mistake by Helian Ming! This is the most ridiculous!

The more Cen Jiang thought about it, the more his teeth itched, and he couldn't wait to catch Helian Ming to vent his anger, but at this time, he listened to the Heavenly Emperor reply: "One glory is both glory and one loss is lost, everyone understands this truth." ”

It is rare for the emperor to patiently explain: "In the past, Helian Qi and Ming Ying were husband and wife, and the interests of the two families were closely related, if he revealed it, his future official position would definitely not be guaranteed, and the entire Helian clan would also be implicated." But now it's different, the Ming family no longer exists, and he confesses as soon as possible, and he can get a good reputation of 'repentance'. ”

Emperor Tianzhu's lips were slightly hooked, and a mocking smile appeared, and he added: "Besides, you also know that Helian Qi is afraid of guilt. ”

Hearing this, Cen Jiang had to shake his head and sigh slightly: "You are right. Helian Qi is a person, to put it nicely, it is 'mild-tempered and indecisive', and to put it badly, it is 'a nest'. Weichen couldn't get used to his nest the most, and he didn't dare to submit the letter, so he waited until he avoided the end of the world and asked his brother to send it. ”

"Maybe it's not that he doesn't dare, but he has no shame to face it." Emperor Tianzhu sneered.

But now, it's all in vain, and everything that shouldn't have happened has happened. It's just that no one could have thought of it-

At the beginning of the story, Helian Qi captured Han Chu's heart, and Shen Yu was one step late and was defeated without a fight;

At the end of the story, Helian Qi concealed the mastermind behind the scenes, but let Xiu see his true heart clearly, and Shen Yu won the beauty without fighting......

It's ridiculous that the world is changing, but who starts and ends after all.

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Emperor was also full of emotion. mentioned Shen Yu and Izuxiu, he also remembered his own concubine. Now that the queen has successfully given birth to a daughter, I don't know if she can save her life......

He doesn't ask for much, as long as he lives lightly, the child can be reborn if he is gone...... Thinking about it, the emperor's mind sank deeper and deeper into the abyss, and the powerlessness of life and death came to his heart again.

What if he unifies the north and the south? The iron-blooded king who holds the world in his hands will also feel at a loss. Extremely urgently, the emperor turned around without saying a word, and hurried towards the outside of the holy study.

"Holy!" Cen Jiang reacted for a moment and immediately strode to follow.

"You go to the Fengchao Palace to do business, and I will go to see the lightheart." The Emperor of Heaven put down this sentence without looking back, and strode away.

*****

Entering the Lingxi Palace again, before he reached the light-hearted dormitory, the emperor saw a basin of blood and water coming out of it, which looked extremely red in this night. His heart suddenly twitched, and he was about to push the door in, but was stopped by the palace maids.

"Holy Lord, the delivery room is too filthy, and it will damage the dragon's ......body," the two delicate palace maids immediately knelt on the ground and said.

Hearing this, a wave of anger suddenly rose, and the Heavenly Emperor was about to scold him, but at this time, he heard a terrible moan in the room, and the voice was extremely familiar.

"Lighthearted!" The emperor couldn't care much more, and waved his arm to push open the door of the palace, and sure enough, a heavy bloody aura came to his face. In the past, he had seen and smelled more on the battlefield, but this time, he felt extremely palpitating and trembling.

This feeling has never been greater!

Emperor Tianzhu was only stunned for a moment, and behind the screen facing the door of the house, there were suddenly bursts of baby crying. Immediately afterwards, a grandmother's rebuke followed: "Why is the wind blowing in?" Who opened the door? Don't you know that the mother and the prince can't blow the wind? ”

After that, Mama's voice became very low again, as if she was coaxing the child.

And at this moment, the Heavenly Emperor was standing still, not knowing how to react.

It's lighthearted! It's a prince!

The door was quietly closed again, the lights in the screen flickered, and the bloated grandmother walked out with the medical girl. Seeing Emperor Tianzhu standing outside, several people were shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and congratulated: "Congratulations to the Holy One!" Concubine Dan gave birth to a prince. ”

Seeing these people kneeling towards him, Emperor Tianzhu suddenly came back to his senses, and after a moment of deliberation, he said: "The matter of Concubine Dan's birth of a child is not allowed to be mentioned to anyone. ”

After finishing speaking, Ning Sheng asked again: "How is she now?" ”

Several grandmothers didn't dare to reply when they heard this, and looked at each other for a long time, and one of them replied in a low voice: "Concubine Dan Niangniang has no worries about her life, but she has lost too much blood and her body is damaged, I am afraid that she will ...... in the future It's going to be tough. The last sentence was intermittent and unclear.

But Emperor Tianzhu understood, the meaning of this grandmother's words was that it would be difficult to have children in the future...... But in any case, now that the mother and son are safe, he is so grateful to God that he can no longer care about anything else.

So, Emperor Tianzhu swept the few people in front of him with cold eyes, and warned in a low voice again: "Don't tell Concubine Tan about this." ”

"Yes." Mama and the medical women took their orders one after another. One of them was more bold and wanted to take the opportunity to invite merit, so he took the initiative to ask with a smile: "The Holy One wants to take a look at the little prince?" Although he was born prematurely, the old slave felt that he weighed seven pounds! ”

The child who weighed seven pounds and was born with a light heart was his blood and bones...... The emperor softened his mind and asked in a low voice, "What about the child?" ”

"I'm going to wash myself." Mama smiled and said busily: "Because it was born prematurely, the prince has some blue spots on his body, but he will be fine when he grows up." ”

"Hmm." Tianzhu didn't say whether he saw it or not, and walked straight into the screen.

"Holy one, the delivery room is an ominous place...... "Mama immediately advised behind her. However, it was too late, the emperor had already stepped behind the screen, and walked lightly to the side of the light heart.

When the first few people outside saw this situation, they didn't dare to persuade again, so they could only come out silently, leaving only the indifferent personal maid to retreat outside the screen to wait.

"I made you suffer." Emperor Tianzhu looked at the miserable white face on the couch, and only felt that it was more dangerous than fighting on the battlefield. If he knew that giving birth to a child was so cruel, maybe he would have restrained some ......

The emperor sighed, stared at the heart. I saw that her body was weak, with long eyelashes and tears, but she was sober, and her lips were slightly pursed and she replied: "The concubine would rather ...... It's a girl......

At the same time as he said this, tears began to fill his eyes again. This is no longer the tears of pain during childbirth, but the knowledge that their mother and son are about to separate.

A piece of flesh that fell from her body will be raised under her knees from now on, and this pain can only be experienced by those who have become mothers.

How could the Heavenly Emperor not know the meaning of indifference? He couldn't bear to say anything more.

At this moment, the queen is depressed and blames herself for giving birth to her daughter, who knows that on the contrary, she will be sad and sad for the birth of an heir......

The words that the mother had just given birth, together with the tears of her heart, were cast into a sharp blade, and the knife slashed through the emperor's heart......

If this is Danxin's only child, how can he bear to give it to the queen to raise? Let Danxin have no children under his knees?

Also, in the future, if Zhuang Xiaoran gives birth to a prince, will the light-hearted child be angry? Will the two brothers fight?

Suddenly, Empress Dowager Ye's face appeared in the emperor's mind! The expressions that were sometimes kind, sometimes calculating, and sometimes resentful were one after another, as if Empress Dowager Ye herself was in front of her!

Suddenly, Emperor Tianzhu suddenly woke up, there must not be a second Ye Yingfei in this palace! An indifferent child can't even become another Nie Jiu, or Nie Qi!

In case he dies in front of him, it's better to say something; But if she takes the first step, how will she face this lonely palace after a hundred years? Will Zhuang be embarrassed by her? How should she and her child deal with themselves?

I asked three times, but there was no answer. However, the Heavenly Emperor knew that there was a way to prevent all hidden dangers from happening......

He thought about it for a long time, and the more he thought that this method was feasible, and he counted it in one fell swoop. So, Emperor Tianzhu took the initiative to hold the cold and soft water of his heart, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, our son, I have my own arrangements." ”

Danxin didn't seem to understand, and there was no trace of ups and downs on his face, but he closed his eyes and replied: "The concubine is tired and wants to sleep for a while." ”

Hearing this, Emperor Tianzhu felt helpless. He had to let go of his lightly slippery jade hand, and said in a low voice: "I have experienced the dangers of the palace since I was a child, and my siblings have fought for their lives......"

Speaking of this, he was still silent when he saw that he was still silent, and then continued: "In fact, the heirs are not much more expensive, and I don't want the children to repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

At this point, Danxin seemed to realize something. She reopened her eyes, looked sideways at Emperor Tianzhu, and asked Chi, "What ......do you mean?"

"What I mean is that the child must be raised in the Fengchao Palace." Emperor Tianzhu promised word by word: "He will be the crown prince." ”

"Holy!" Hearing this, he was shocked, and his emotions became excited in an instant, and he actually tried to get up: "No! No way! I don't want to! ”

"Why?" The emperor pressed her with one hand, frowned and asked, "You don't want such glory?" ”

He bit his lip with a weak heart, and his words were already crying: "I...... I just want him to grow up in peace. ”

"As the heir of the royal family, there is no safe place except for that dragon chair." Emperor Tianzhu replied.

Although he was lying down, he couldn't care about his weakness at the moment, and shook his head desperately: "No! If this child is made the crown prince, he will definitely not be on good terms with his siblings, and the queen will also be ......."

"What will happen?" Emperor Tianzhu's phoenix eyes drooped, and his eyes flashed: "The queen won't do anything to him." ”

This sentence is extremely vague, but the meaning of that sentence makes people's hearts palpitate. I'm afraid that I guessed wrong, but I hope I didn't guess wrong. Her eyes widened fiercely, and she asked the emperor silently.

"You guessed it right." Emperor Tianzhu slapped the corners of the quilt for his heart, and replied in a deep voice: "This is the best way, not only to ensure that you have no worries for the rest of your life, but also to prevent the Zhuang family from sitting big." ”

He paused, and then said, "One Ming is enough." I don't want to see the second time. ”

The "Holy ......" still couldn't believe it, and prayed in a low voice: "Is there no other way?" The Queen Mother is not that kind of person. ”

"I believe that the queen is not, and neither is Zhuang Xiang. But what will happen to the descendants of the Zhuang family, I can't guarantee it. ”

Emperor Tianzhu puffed up a charming smile and continued to comfort his heart: "Although the child is raised under the queen's knees, blood is thicker than water, and he must be close to you." From now on, the Zhuang family will live dependent on you, if the queen has a different heart, even if I let her go, our children will not be spared. ”

"That being said...... But now I am the daughter of the Tang family. Dan Xin was still worried: "Aren't you afraid of the Tang family's rise by trend?" Become the second Ming? ”

"No, it won't. The Tang family has been subordinate to etiquette for generations, and has no real power in their hands. Emperor Tianzhu said very firmly: "What's more, with the Zhuang family and the Yun family in front, the Tang family cannot rise." ”

Even though the words have been made clear, he still refuses to let go. The emperor knew that she was difficult to digest for a while, and he felt sorry for her body was too weak, so he comforted her softly: "You are so good that you will be raised, you should not worry too much, these things are not in a hurry at this time." ”

After speaking, Shen Yin said again: "Our child is called 'Forget Ling'. ”

"Forget Ling?" He muttered lightly: "Which 'forget'?" Which 'Ling'? ”

"Forget what you forget, what you volley." The emperor's face softened slightly, and all the yin and wild frenzy of the past disappeared without a trace. He looked at the faint expectation and added in a low voice: "Luan Shu, whose real name is 'Ling Yun'." ”

Just this short sentence made Dan Xin immediately burst into tears: "Holy ......" The voice she whispered was joy and emotion that she had never had.

"What? Bad name? The emperor's eyes were gentle and long, and he asked again with a smile.

"No, no! The concubine cried with joy! He raised his hand to wipe away the tears: "It's just the name...... We are the 'Da Ling Dynasty', but the child is called 'Forget Ling', will it be inappropriate? ”

"Who dares to say that the name I have given is inappropriate?" The emperor's tone was extremely stiff, and he turned to leave.

When leaving the Lingxi Palace, the moon is in the middle, and the sky is high. The long-standing troubles were finally resolved, and the Heavenly Emperor was extremely peaceful and relieved. He walked alone along the secluded path of the Lingxi Palace, until he came to the side of the Taiye Pool, and then took out a parchment roll from his bosom and threw it into the pool with a wave of his arms.

There are some things in the past that he has been clinging to for too long. But in the end, he realized that it was actually only that memory that he was obsessed with.

And some memories have long been refilled by someone......

*****

Two hours later, the queen's personal maidservant Xiangji fell into the water. Because the palace was overjoyed, it was inevitable to collide with the emperor, and the matter was kept secret.

Three days later, news came out from Yingyuan Palace: the queen gave birth to dragon and phoenix twins, and Concubine Dan was frightened and had a miscarriage and was stillborn.

……

On the twentieth day of January of the following year, just after the New Year, Emperor Tianzhu held a feast in the Yingyuan Palace to celebrate the full moon of the prince and princess. On that day, the queen came out of the sitting period, and the emperor was in the Fengchao Palace.

That night, the emperor and queen had a long talk on the couch, and the queen felt guilty for not giving birth, and even more indifferent and blamed herself.

Emperor Tianzhu comforted: "I said that the heir is not in a hurry, and it will be reborn in the future." ”

The queen sighed softly and replied: "You let the concubine raise two children, but the palace of the concubine is very deserted, how can the concubine be happy in her heart?" Why don't you send the princess to the Lingxi Palace? ”

The emperor was noncommittal when he heard this: "You are in charge." ”

The queen asked cautiously: "Now that the prince has a name, but the princess has not, the concubine has the courage to draft a few names to be chosen, and please ask the saint to decide." ”

"Tell me about it." The Heavenly Emperor didn't seem to have much interest.

"One is 'Xiao Luan', one is 'Su Xin', and one is 'Ning Shuang'. Don't know which one do you prefer? The queen's tone was extremely cautious, and the tentative meaning could not be more obvious.

Xiao Luan, Su Xin, Ning Shuang...... Emperor Tianzhu's phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and he was silent for a long time without making a sound.

Seeing this, the queen hurriedly explained: "The concubine has no other meaning, just ......"

"I don't blame you." The emperor's words were indifferent: "'Su Xin' and the name of the concubine are in conflict, and 'Shuangning' is too delicate, so it's still the first one." ”

The first, Xiao Luan. The queen breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally let go of the thoughts she had been pinching in the past day, and replied with a smile: "The concubine has thanked the saint for giving her name, and she will send the princess to Lingxi Palace tomorrow." Concubine Dan has a wonderful temperament, and she will definitely be able to raise the princess very well. ”

"Hmm. The queen is virtuous, and I am very pleased. Emperor Tianzhu praised two sentences, and Long Yan was slightly happy.

"The Holy Monk rests, and tomorrow there will be an early pilgrimage." The queen persuaded at the right time, but the emperor did not refuse.

The lights in the bedroom of the Feng Dynasty Palace gradually went out, and the queen slept very peacefully this night.

But who knows, the emperor tosses and turns, and the emperor's heart is indistinguishable.

There is only one way to achieve perfection in this world, which is called "intention".
