Late at night, Xia Jingyun looked at the sleeping Concubine De, slowly got up, and planned to dress and walk out.

A piece of warm fragrant jade suddenly pasted behind him, and before Xia Jingyun could act, he heard Concubine De's words, "Don't move, let me hold it for a while, and engrave this feeling more clearly in my memory." ”

Xia Jingyun sighed in her heart when she heard this, knowing Concubine De's choice, and also understanding why she would take the initiative at that moment.

"I'm sorry. I was so selfish. ”

This sentence came out of Concubine De's mouth, which made Xia Jingyun feel even more ashamed.

Many things in this world are often like this, absurd and unreasonable, because no one can be as cold as a machine, there will always be some emotions or instincts outside of reason, and these things are also the charm of the world.

"I'm the one who should say I'm sorry. I don't even know what to do."

Xia Jingyun's words came to his mouth, but he swallowed it back, and at this time, it was even more inappropriate to talk to women about the difficulties in dealing with the aftermath.

"God knows, you know and I know."

Concubine De slowly helped Xia Jingyun put on her clothes, put them on for herself, and regained her composure, "You go and accompany Xiuyun, and we will discuss it together tomorrow." ”

Xia Jingyun stopped talking, Concubine De smiled softly, reached out and stroked his face, "I'm fine, in the palace, I have long been used to being alone." ”

Xia Jingyun sighed and got up to leave.

In the empty room, Concubine De sat with her knees crossed, her chin resting on her knees, stunned.

The proof of the absurdity of the middle of the night in reality is only the mattress under her body and the smell in the air, but it is destined to be recalled again and again for the rest of her life.

She has always been polite and observant, and she pulled him, who has always been above board, to do something that is not polite or upright at all.

But she doesn't regret it at all, she is also a human being, and at this most vulnerable time, seeing the man who is willing to put herself in danger for her makes the pain in her heart clear and painful when she is not married.

Entering the palace at the age of sixteen, she had no birth background, and she stayed in the palace cautiously and fearfully for three years, until one day, she seized the opportunity.

Talented, beautiful, Jieyu, Zhaoyi.

Step by step, giving birth to the prince, and finally stepping into the position of the concubine, there is no joy in her heart, there is only more worry day by day, and more and more cautious, like walking on thin ice.

The original love that had sprouted was completely dead after recognizing His Majesty's true face.

She thought that in her life, there was only so much to do.

However, she met Xia Jingyun.

Then, pile by pile, piece by piece, the feelings are still growing tenaciously under the suppression.

And she thought she could keep it down forever.

But with this disaster, at those seemingly desperate junctures, she thought a lot.

Those thoughts, those unexpected emotions and fierce impulses, magnified in this dark and unoccupied room, made her make a bold choice that she had never imagined in that moment.

She really wanted to stay with him, but she knew it couldn't be.

Not to mention his natural couples, not to mention the expectations he carries.

only said that if she retreated, Xia Jingyun's ambition, and the ambition of helping the people in the world, would lose its guarantee and support;

But if she stays, as the concubine of the first emperor, the biological mother of the prince, and the possible queen mother in the future, she will be lonely again for the rest of her life.

She was not bold enough to think that at that time, she could unscrupulously ignore etiquette and the theory of the world.

She made a choice, even if that choice hurt, even if that choice was self-sacrificing.

Even if it's just after the warmth.

But this is her, the super imperial concubine who can fight a bloody way in the harem with her own strength.

If she really said that she would regret it, now she began to worry about Xia Jingyun.

I'm worried that if this matter is exposed, it will have a bad impact on him.

I'm even more worried that he will affect his mood stability because of this story such as Chaolu, and then have some unexpected ideas.

I hope what I just said has been clear enough.

She lowered her head and let the tears of regret fall silently.

"I made the situation clear to my sister."

In the courtyard, Xia Jingyun looked at Feng Xiuyun, "These days, do you have anything else?" ”

He understood Concubine De's words, and at this moment the passion retreated, a little regretful, and a little sad, but it was naturally impossible to reveal it on his lips.

Feng Xiuyun looked at him and said with a light smile: "No, after escaping that day, Mr. Lu took us to change places several times, and finally settled here." We hardly know what changes are in the outside world, and those things are handled by Mr. Su and Mr. Lu. ”

Xia Jingyun nodded, "These days, the prince and they are also chic enough, it's time for us to fight back." You will accompany your sister and wait for it. ”

Feng Xiuyun snorted, and suddenly said softly: "Niangniang has actually been quite bitter these years. ”

Xia Jingyun turned his head in surprise, but Feng Xiuyun waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's not early, let's rest first, meet Mr. Su and Mr. Lu tomorrow, you still have important matters to discuss." ”

——

[Since ancient times, the emperor has succeeded the heavens and established the world, and will establish the Yuan Prince, Maolong Guoben, and the Mianzong Society will have no borders. I look up to my ancestors, and I entrust them to the utmost place. Cheng Ao Yanqing, end in Yuanliang.

Linjiang Wang Tai, the eighth son of the first emperor, is a Japanese and talented man. Hereby carry out the ceremony, bow down to public opinion, and I would like to inform heaven and earth, the temple, and the community.

On June 16 of the first year of Taichu, he was awarded a canonized treasure. Established as the emperor's younger brother and is in the East Palace! With the unity of 10,000 years and the heart of the four seas! 】

The next day, an edict, like thunder, exploded the entire Jingshi.

Prime Minister Wan Wenbi stood in the middle of the mansion, looking out the window, silent and silent.

The staff behind him looked at his back, and they were also quite emotional.

You say that he is not a good mix, he used to be a deputy prime minister for several years, and now he has become the head of civil officials above 10,000 people under one person, and he was once a prime minister;

But you said that he was a good mix, in the past, under the hands of Qin Weizhong, a generation of power ministers, he was an echo worm, he didn't dare to have any objections at all, he didn't have any power, but now he has become the prime minister, and the deputy minister has become Xiao Fengshan, so he has become Xiangrui standing in the position of prime minister, and he still has no power.

This old man who has survived the ups and downs of the sea and Qin Weizhong has naturally thought about grabbing power, and the path he hopes for is the British Duke.

Now only the British Duke can compete with Xiao Xiangguo, who is His Majesty's uncle and is extremely proficient in literature and martial arts.

If the British want to expand their influence in the court, they will inevitably have the need to expand their influence in the civilian lineage, and the two sides can almost expect to hit it off.

But just when Wan Wenbi was about to go to the British Mansion to visit him today, this edict gave him a blow to the head.

His Majesty canonized the king of Linjiang County as the emperor's younger brother.

The amount of information in this is not small, which can be regarded as removing another layer of camouflage for the speculation of the bizarre death of the first emperor, and at the same time laying a layer of hidden danger for the future court situation.

But whatever the future holds, for the present, or as far as the last month or two is concerned, there will be no overt confrontation between the British Duke and His Majesty.

The British Duke has to buy His Majesty's account!

And a few months later, with the help of Xiao Fengshan, His Majesty slowly stabilized the situation, and at that time, many things were too late.

Wan Wenbi sighed lightly, "It seems that the overall situation has been decided, and it is useless to do it in vain." ”

"Brother Ziyuan, don't hesitate, Your Majesty's edict has tied the British Duke to his chariot, and our choice is nothing more than His Majesty and the British Duke, there is no other way out."

"Brother Xuanling, Concubine De is certainly benevolent, and Xia Jingyun is indeed a talented person, but now, the overall situation has been decided, and they can't afford to turn over the storm. I'm ready to go to the door of the British public, you should think about it, above the officialdom, one step is fast, one step is fast, there are so many positions, you have to hurry! ”

"Brother Zize, are you really a foregone conclusion?"

In the Hanlin Courtyard, Xu Dapeng looked at Zeng Jimin, his expression was haggard, and his eyes were full of fatigue and helplessness.

Zeng Jimin originally wanted to ridicule you, the absolute believer of Brother Gao Yang, don't you believe in Gao Yang, but when he thought of the current reality, a sense of weakness rose in his heart, so he had to go against his heart and said: "Gao Yang is not an ordinary person, we can't see through the situation, maybe he can think of a way." ”

Xu Dapeng was shocked when he heard this, "That's right!" Gao Yang is always able to create miracles, maybe this time he will be able to turn the tables in ways we can't imagine! ”

Zeng Jimin:

Are you so coaxed?

"Your Excellency. I made a decision when I was ready. ”

In Jingzhao Mansion, the staff stood beside Jingzhao Yin Han Xueming and spoke softly.

The decision he said was to let Han Xueming take down Xing Shigu, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, as soon as possible and surrender to Xiao Fengshan.

With the fall of Wei Yuanzhi and Wang Ruoshui's backlash, the complete collapse of Concubine De's family has been kicked off.

The signal is given above, and there will naturally be people below who tend to be inflammatory, and see the opportunity to follow suit.

Many of the seals flew out of Lantai and from various ministries and presented to the center and His Majesty, in exchange for the loneliness of the officials of the concubine and the relatives of them.

Xing Shigu, as a person who is more or less ranked in the family of Concubine De, unexpectedly avoided this turmoil.

Because, on his head, there is a Jing Zhaoyin who firmly protects him.

But now, can it still be protected?

Han Xueming said calmly: "Do you think Xing Duwei is a good official?" ”

The staff stomped their feet a little, "My lord, now is not the time to discuss whether or not you are a good official!" ”

Han Xueming answered the question and looked out the window, "Yes, such a good official, why can't you use it?" ”

He turned around and waved his hand, "Go get busy." ”

The staff member sighed, shook his head and left, at this moment, he was already thinking in his heart whether he should also plan a way back.

Xing Shigu's home is still in that alley, he didn't ask for the house that Gongsun Jing gave him, and there was no corruption, and the extra money was also used to improve his own life.

Walking back down the alley, he saw his wife leaning against the door.

Since the incident, Mrs. has been like this every day, obviously it doesn't help, but she always wants to seek peace of mind.

Xing Shigu stepped forward with a smile, "I have a clear conscience, and I will be fine." ”

It doesn't matter if you're ashamed or not. Madame wiped the corners of her eyes, "Let's go, go in and rest, I bought a roast duck in the evening." ”

Roast duck Xing Shigu looked at Madame, understood her choice and comfort, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Where's the girl?"

"Went out to play."

In another alley not far from this alley, several little girls were laughing and laughing together.

A young man walked over and took out a few little merchant's gadgets in his hand, "Uncle will teach you to sing a song, okay?" When you learn, I'll give you these things. ”

"Okay, okay!"

The little ones looked at the thing with their eyes lit up.

The young man read softly: "The sun and the moon are in the sky, the phoenix and fox surround the lonely pine, first the son kills the father, and then the younger brother kills the brother." ”

The children read along, and then left satisfied, with their gifts, bouncing and singing.

"The sun and the moon are in the sky, the phoenix fox surrounds the lonely pine, first the son kills the father, and then the younger brother kills the brother."

The crisp children's voice, not long after, resounded throughout the entire Zhongjing City.

Let's start with one chapter, and the next one will be later.

PS: Thank you and listen to the reward of the two bigwigs, Feng Yin and Emperor Wen Zhu Bo Zhao.
