Chapter 578: Human Nature
When I came out of the Ming Huang Palace, the night was already deep.
In the end, he still didn't say much to Yu Huangxi, he has never been a person who likes or can express his purest sincerity to others, he is used to burying all this in his heart and bearing it silently.
During this period, he just apologized to Yu Huangxi and chatted a few words. But this is a rare time to sit down and gossip with him in all these years.
I don't know if it's this rare opportunity or the atmosphere, Yu Huangxi never broke out because of his unintentional "humiliation", but he didn't give much feedback, just calmed down, nodded or uh-huh.
But there is someone who can say something, this is already very good for Chen An, Xiaoguang has always been stationed on the front line, and it is impossible for others to get this kind of honor.
That is, despite the incident in Minghuang Palace, Chen An thought about not escaping anymore and facing some things seriously.
Therefore, he didn't go back to rest and wait for the dawn, he went directly to Jiang Xijun's residence, Jinlan Palace. After talking about sex, he hurriedly wanted to tell Jiang Xijun something.
Being busy over the years may be an excuse, but in fact, it is because of his wariness of various clans, so he has a grudge not only for Yu Huangxi, but also for Jiang Xijun.
It may even be better for Yu Huangxi, after all, she is the lord of the Minghuang clan and the head of the first clan in the Eastern Wilderness, and there are many things that need to be discussed with her, which requires frequent meetings and frequent exchanges.
But since Jiang Xijun married him, she has stepped down from the position of the lord of the Gaoyang clan, and she is co-governed by the elders of the clan, and she is in the deep palace and has never been anywhere. In the past seven years, Chen An has met her and counted them on one hand.
Although his attitude towards other concubines is the same, he always feels that there is a debt in his heart.
On weekdays, he fights openly and secretly with various clans, and he can ignore this debt, but when he sees Jiang Luhan's appearance in the daytime, he will inevitably have relatives in his heart, and guilt and thoughts will come like a tide and hit his heart.
After that, it precipitated in the Ming Huang Hall for a long time, until it became more and more intense at this moment, and there was a tendency to be uncontrollable.
So he couldn't wait for a moment, so he wanted to immediately go to Jiang Xijun to tell her what he missed in his heart and explain the reason for his neglect over the years.
Jinlan Hall is not far from here, and Chen An's footsteps are even more instantaneous. Chen An got rid of the crowd and came here in a hurry, but just as he was about to enter here, he was blocked by a few guards on duty.
This is tantamount to being splashed directly on the face by a basin of cold water, and Chen An, who was already in a bad temper, instantly pulled down his face and said, "Who dares to stop me?"
These palace ladies were obviously caught off guard by Chen An's sudden arrival, but they still tried their best to do their duty and admonished: "Your Majesty forgive me, Jinlan Hall is really impossible to go." ”
Chen An sneered: "Is there a place in this huge palace that I can't go? You can tell me, so that I can know how this Jinlan Palace is born and can't go." ”
Full of desire was blocked, and he was not in a good mood, so Chen An picked out the most conspicuous one from this group of palace laves, and planned to shoot her to death if he didn't say a word, so as to increase the horizons of this group of guys.
That Gong'e was not ambiguous, knowing that if she couldn't tell the reason today, she would definitely die, and maybe it would affect the sisters, so she knelt down directly and said: " Back to Your Majesty, a few years ago, Jiang Guifei went to visit the Gaoyang clan to visit the Marquis of Longyuan, and after coming back, she contracted some wind diseases, and her body was a little sick, and everyone didn't care too much, but who knew that a small illness became a big trouble at the end of the year, and Niangniang fell directly in bed, and before the tenth month, the maidservants and palace eunuchs who waited for the concubine in the Jinlan Palace were infected with the epidemic and died, and people said that Niangniang was the source of the epidemic, so for the sake of Your Majesty's dragon health, the maids had to speak out and ask Your Majesty for forgiveness......"
"What did you say? Xijun is seriously ill?"
Chen An was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then confirmed in disbelief, without even waiting for the other party to give back, he directly bumped into the girls and rushed towards the Jinlan Palace.
He rushed to Jiang Xijun's bed and saw the haggard face that was almost inhuman.
A tingling sensation erupted in his heart, churning and churning, making it almost impossible for him to breathe for a moment.
The maid in the white mask and apron was startled, and when she found out that it was His Majesty the Emperor, she didn't stop her, nor did she retreat, so she could only watch him stupidly walk to Jiang Guifei's sickbed step by step, stiffly and clumsily brushing a strand of messy hair for her.
"Why didn't anyone tell me ......?"
Chen An muttered, but the pain in his heart did not diminish at all.
Indeed, as soon as the Blood Moon Knife pulls out the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, it will be unbalanced, and the balance in the body of people who are accustomed to the concentration of the relevant evil qi will be temporarily broken, resulting in being impregnated by the evil qi and giving birth to various diseases. If you can't suppress this strange force with great force, and when it destroys its body to a thousand holes, then it is really a god who has no power to return to heaven.
From Jiang Li and others, it was learned that many old people in the old Twelve Cities had withered and fallen one after another in the past few years, and it was for this reason that even Jiang Luhan was included.
When he heard the news, he sighed in his heart, and even when he saw Jiang Luhan in Qingfu City, he felt even more sad in his heart. But even so, he never thought that this kind of thing would happen to someone close to him, and it was Jiang Xijun who was so young.
To put it darkly, in fact, when he heard that most of the old elders of the old Twelve Liancheng were sick and retired, although he was embarrassed and sad in his heart, he did not taste a little joy, which means that he does not need to make a move, two generations later, no one can remember the old appearance of the former Twelve Liancheng, no one remembers the glory of the clan, and will only unite around him, the Emperor of Donglai.
But when he saw Jiang Xijun's unsightly face that was eroded by evil qi, Chen An instantly threw these thoughts out of the clouds, and a breath of depression blocked his chest, and he couldn't kill the Quartet to vent it.
"Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor? Why don't you call Imperial Doctor? Call Imperial Doctor. ”
Chen An gritted his teeth, trying not to let his voice go out of shape, and shouted to the maids on duty on the side.
The maidservants were in a panic again, some really ran out to follow Chen An's instructions to invite the imperial doctor, and some knelt down to ask for sin: "Your Majesty is angry, the imperial doctor has already come to see in the morning, Yan Niangniang's vitality has been eaten away by the evil spirit, and there is no way to return to the sky." ”
The four words "no way to return to the sky" were like a wake-up bell, and the whole person was stunned, and then a monstrous killing intent emerged, impacting the hearts of the people around him, and it was difficult to hold back.
"Why? Why didn't anyone tell me? Why ......?"
"It's Niangniang, it's Niangniang who won't let us say it, she said that Your Majesty is fighting the front line, and you don't need to bother Your Majesty to pay attention to a little illness. ”
Chen An was stunned, but he had been the emperor for a long time, so he would not be choked by these nonsense words, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Then why is no one coming here to inform me after the concubine fell ill?"
A sharp gaze slowly swept over the kneeling maid on the ground, and a terrible silence was harvested.
In the face of this situation, Chen An's complexion changed again, and he instantly thought of something, and when he just broke into the hall, he felt that the evil spirit was deep, not like Jiang Xijun's delicate physical energy was released.
Even during the day, he had just gone to see Jiang Luhan, and he hadn't felt such a heavy evil aura there. Of course, it may seem to others that the evil qi is the same, and how can there be a difference between deep and shallow, Chen An, who started with a reliable blood evil yin, has a sensitivity to the evil qi far beyond ordinary people.
Coupled with the performance of this group of servants, he, who was already seriously suspicious, immediately formed a shocking conspiracy in his mind that made him shudder.
Of course, this shudder was only for a moment, and he with a strong heart instantly transformed this emotion into a monstrous killing intent.
"You all deserve to die!"
The air in the hall froze, and all the maidservants seemed to be struggling to breathe like fish out of water. Their cheeks were flushed, and they pinched their necks and exhaled heavily, but they couldn't change the slightest relief, and in a moment they were on the verge of death.
"Your Majesty, is that you?"
At this time, a faint voice sounded beside Chen An, making his originally cruel face stiffen, and he turned his head to look at Jiang Xijun beside him.
Jiang Xijun, who was originally asleep, woke up at some point, and looked at Chen An without joy or excitement, but as warm as ever, as if they met for the first time.
In the past, every time Jiang Xijun looked at Chen An with this expression, Chen An would always feel warm and funny. It's funny that the other party is younger than himself, but he always looks at himself with the inclusive eyes of this big sister, and warmth is naturally like the meticulous care of the closest person, and he will often be immersed in it and can't extricate himself.
But now in the face of this kind of gaze, he is more ashamed, indebted, and regretful in his heart. Even to the point where you can't face it and can't look at it directly.
"Your Majesty, it's none of their business, can you let them go?" Jiang Xijun saw the situation in the hall out of the corner of her eyes, and she who had always been ice and snow smart naturally understood what was going on in an instant, so she immediately pleaded for mercy.
The suffocating pressure in the hall disappeared as soon as her words fell, just a few inconsequential little people, Chen An could dispose of it at any time, there was no need to disobey Jiang Xijun's will for this. Moreover, he really didn't want to refuse any of her requests, so he almost didn't hesitate at all, and let those handmaidens go.
As if they were pardoned, they first gasped for the hard-won fresh air, and then kowtowed like pounded garlic, and withdrew from the temple one after another, not daring to stay here for a long time.
Chen An didn't care about them, and now he only had Jiang Xijun in his eyes.
"I'm sorry Xijun, I ......" He wanted to apologize, but he didn't know what to say.
Jiang Xijun still smiled warmly, shook her head and said, "No, Your Majesty, the concubines all understand." ”
"No, you don't understand......" Chen An subconsciously retorted, but he couldn't say what he wanted to say. Did you tell Jiang Xijun that she had always been wary of her and had never believed her? Could you tell her that she had always been jealous of the Gao Yang clan's usurpation of power and deliberately suppressed her clansmen? Could you tell her that what she valued more in her marriage to her was the Gao Yang clan's support for herself?
In the process of this kind of self-examination and torture of the soul, he saw that Jiang Xijun's smile was still gentle, and he said seriously word by word: "The concubine understands, this is not Your Majesty's fault, but human nature, I only want to believe in what I have worked hard to get, and I don't want to believe in the surprises that may be encountered in life." ”
