Chapter 158: Zhen Ji of the Dongsheng Empire
Twenty-five years ago was the heyday of the Dongsheng Empire, and at that time, even the three kingdoms joined forces to shake the Dongsheng Empire in the slightest.
The people of the country live and work in peace and contentment, rich and happy, and I don't know how many people want to squeeze their heads into this country.
However, because of the prejudice of the ruler against foreign races, except for the original inhabitants of the empire, the rest were not accepted, and if they wanted to be blessed, they had to come up with a large sum of money first.
Often the people who came to join the Dongsheng Empire were desperate, where there would be a large amount of money, so many were turned away.
There are also many people who waded through mountains and rivers to the gate of the Dongsheng Empire before they knew that only people from their own clan could enter, but the entanglement that came here had been used up, and there was no way to go back.
As a result, a large area of beggars gathered on the periphery of the Dongsheng Empire, and even many people starved to death or froze to death at the gates of the Dongsheng Empire.
This tragic situation was inconspicuous in the eyes of the rulers of the Dongsheng Empire, and he still did not change his mind a bit, and soon many people came out to oppose it, and Zhen Ji was one of them.
Zhen Ji was originally the daughter of a general's family in the Dongsheng Empire, and in order to change the ruler's mind, she voluntarily entered the palace as a concubine.
She tried her best to persuade the emperor to revise the rule that only foreigners could live in the Dongsheng Empire, and the emperor originally strongly opposed it, but he couldn't bear Zhen Ji's wisdom and ten years of persuasion.
Finally, after Zhen Ji gave birth to a dragon son, the emperor was overjoyed to abolish this rule, and the entire empire was cheering for the birth of the first prince.
Since the emperor succeeded to the throne, there has been no one, and rumors have begun among the people that all the rumors after Zhen Ji gave birth to this prince have been self-defeating, and the emperor prefers Zhen Ji because of this.
Some people like it, and some people hate it, Zhen Ji's status in the harem makes many concubines blush, with Zhen Ji's wisdom, these are not difficult to deal with.
But what she didn't expect was that the queen, who had always been very good to her, didn't expect to suddenly backlash and frame her for poisoning, and the emperor naturally didn't believe that Zhen Ji would do such a thing.
But soon, the queen was found to be pregnant, and the emperor had no choice but to ground Zhen Ji in order to appease the queen's emotions and protect the imperial heir, and Zhen Ji was disappointed in the emperor from then on.
Since the queen was pregnant, Zhen Ji has never gone out of her palace again, in fact, she was lifted from the grounding very early, but because she didn't want to see the emperor, she kept calling herself sick.
The emperor came to see it a few times, but he was persuaded by Zhen Ji's indifference, and after coming so many times, the high-ranking emperor did not want to run into a wall here, and immediately began to pamper the newcomer.
For a while, it seemed that Zhen Ji had been completely forgotten, but over time, the emperor discovered that there were very few women in the world who were as beautiful and wise as Zhen Ji, and he became more and more eager for Zhen Ji in his heart.
But as the lord of a country, how could he pull down and go to Zhen Ji again, so he went to Zhen Ji's room in the middle of the night under the pretense of being drunk, and forced her to go over the clouds with him.
Zhen Ji was completely disheartened with the emperor from then on, and the smile on her face became less and less.
After this time, the emperor became more and more emboldened to ignore Zhen Ji's feelings, and almost every subsequent time was forced.
Zhen Ji soon became pregnant again, this time she failed to keep the child, and it was rumored that the queen was jealous so she killed Zhen Ji's child, but it was actually Zhen Ji herself.
Zhen Ji's body was injured in the early years, and it was not easy to get pregnant, and it was almost her life to give birth to the first one, and the doctor invited by the family told her early on that the second child would not be saved.
So she used this unpreserved child to frame the queen, and the emperor Long Yan was furious, but in the end, she did not abolish the queen, but just locked the queen up for a few months.
Zhen Ji was unwilling, but she knew that the queen's position was related to the stability of the situation in the previous dynasty, so she couldn't say more.
After all, six years passed like this, Zhen Ji raised the prince until he was six years old and suddenly disappeared, and the emperor sent people to search almost all the corners of the earth but could not find it.
Folklore said that someone saw a fairy-like woman jumping into the lake, but she hasn't caught it so far, it seems to be Zhen Ji.
The emperor regretted it too much, and finally made Zhen Ji's son the crown prince as an apology.
Empress Dowager Li recalled the past 20 years and couldn't help sighing.
She was a fine worker cultivated by Zhen Ji at that time, Zhen Ji treated her well, and when she finally disappeared, she sent someone to send her to the minister's house in the Li State, and even arranged a good identity for her.
It is also because of this that she has the position of the Empress Dowager Li Guo today.
"Where did Zhen Ji go?" Huangfu Si narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
When the name Zhen Ji was mentioned, his emotions became obviously a little different, but it was difficult for ordinary people to notice.
Empress Dowager Li shook her head: "Zhen Ji's departure was premeditated, she arranged everything before disappearing." ”
Everyone said that Zhen Ji was dead, but she didn't believe it, according to what she knew about Zhen Ji, her personality was not a person who would kill herself.
But no one knows where she went, as if the world had evaporated.
Huangfu Sihan pondered for a moment, and finally got up slowly, he had heard this answer many times, and even he had no way to find out the whereabouts of Zhen Ji.
He had never been close to a woman by his side, and Ye Drunken was the only one, and he should have killed her with a sword in the sedan chair that day, but he finally hesitated.
Because at that moment, I don't know from what angle, Night Drunkenness is somewhat similar to Zhen Ji.
After Empress Dowager Li knew about Huangfu Sihan's life experience, she immediately thought of being intoxicated at night.
From the very beginning, she chose to be the stand-in for the real Princess Li'an, and it was not entirely because of their similarity, but more subconsciously because she looked a little similar to Zhen Ji.
I didn't expect Huangfu Sihan to have the same idea as her...
"The night is drunk, but..." Empress Dowager Li hesitated for a moment, wanting to ask, but who knew that she was interrupted by Huangfu Sihan in the middle of her words.
"It has nothing to do with her." Huangfu Si said coldly, and glanced at the Empress Dowager Li with cool eyes.
Empress Dowager Li wanted to speak and stopped, and finally closed her mouth under the eyes of Huangfu Si Han,
"The night is drunk, and now she is the king's person, and no one can touch her." Huangfu Sihan said another sentence, which made people have no courage to refute.
Empress Dowager Li was stunned for a moment, and finally responded weakly: "Yes." ”
She already knew the identity of Huangfu Sihan, so she naturally had a more respectful attitude, but after all, she had been in a high position for many years, and it was impossible for her to be as respectful as the little work before.
"Does King Yi know the life experience of the night drunk?" Empress Dowager Li's eyes flashed with shrewdness.
Huangfu Si laughed coldly and turned around: "This king advises you, what you have learned in this palace should not be used here by this king, it is ridiculous." ”
After that, Huangfu Sihan directly turned around and pushed the door open and walked out, leaving Empress Dowager Li alone in the room.
Xiao Cui, who was lying on the ground, moved, rubbed her eyes and stretched again, as if she had just woken up.
"Emily." Empress Dowager Li took a deep breath and then shouted in a deep voice.
Xiao Cui: "Wow! He stood up from the ground and bowed his head respectfully to the Empress Dowager Li.
She remembered that she had come to close the door, and... And then there was nothing.
"Close the door, and the mourning family will rest." Empress Dowager Li surprisingly didn't embarrass Xiaocui anymore, and walked to the bed a little tiredly.
The past of twenty years ago was suddenly revealed, and even she was full of emotion...
Not long after returning to the Drunken Monarch Pavilion at night, she received a carrier pigeon from the Empress Dowager Li, she was very vigilant at first, and according to the character of the Empress Dowager Li, it was unlikely that she would tell her the secret so happily.
But in the end, after really seeing the content of the letter, she had to make an excuse for the Empress Dowager Li, perhaps because Huangfu Sihan's deterrent power was too strong.
After making sure that there were no secret guards around him, he secretly put the carrier pigeon back and entered the room with a note.
Normally, when she was in the Drunken Monarch Pavilion, Huangfu Sihan would not let the secret guards guard her, and Fei Huan should go to find Green Sprout at this time, which also happened to give her a chance to be alone.
The note was written about her life experience, which made her nervous, and her palms sweated a lot.
