Chapter 244: The Evil Concubine (18)

After leaving the palace, Wang Songyan could not understand what was going on at first, so she always refused to leave her room.

It was not until her father, Wang Yushi, came to talk to her personally, and she did not know what they talked about, that she suddenly realized what was going on and officially started to socialize.

Not long after, she was arranged by Wang Yushi to marry her distant cousin Nian Suiyu, who had expressed his affection for her when she entered the palace. On the day of the wedding, Emperor Ping specially sent Eunuch Cai to deliver the gift to the Nian family, which attracted a lot of attention from people on the street.

Nian Suiyu lost her mother at an early age and had a younger sister at home. Although her family was poor, they were all scholars who knew etiquette and honor and disgrace, and they respected her as a bride from a noble family. Nian Suiyu had finally found a beautiful woman, so he naturally loved her and put her first in everything.

Wang Songyan's life at the Nian family was more than a hundred times happier than in the palace.

Wang Songyan, the former favorite concubine of the emperor, was married off safely. The other concubines who were dismissed from the palace no longer had any worries and began to look at each other. For a while, there was a wave of marriage outside the palace.

"You are smart. You have handled the two difficult matters properly." After the morning court, Emperor Ping came to Weirui Palace to praise his beloved concubine. As a result, his beloved concubine responded and continued to study the Nine Links, and didn't care about his praise at all.

His beloved concubine is like a different person in this life. Her hobbies and personality are different from those in the previous life. She is not as enthusiastic about him as in the previous life. She is very much like a cat. When you get close to her, she will rub against you and call twice, but if you don't see her, she won't take the initiative to find you. Her emotions are always indifferent, which makes him, the emperor in these two lives, unable to see clearly.

Since his beloved concubine ignored him, he didn't want to make trouble for himself and returned to his Dayang Palace.

Because of his two lives, he knew clearly that the Xi Kingdom in the west was going to recruit troops and cause trouble at this time. As the emperor of Wu Dynasty, he would certainly not let them succeed. He sent King Zhaoyang to lead troops to the west to guard, and sent a secret decree in advance to let him prepare for defense.

Therefore, in the battle with Xi Kingdom, Wu Dynasty won a great victory, and Xi Kingdom ceded three cities as compensation. Wu Dynasty was in an uproar, and everyone regarded Emperor Ping as a god. Shi

Yi studied Emperor Ping for a long time, and finally when he was building a folk school, he got a reliable guess: Emperor Ping was reborn.

In this way, the image of Emperor Ping she saw did not match the original owner's memory, and there was a reasonable explanation.

But Emperor Ping was reborn, so he should not have such an attitude towards her, the favorite concubine who had killed him.

About this, she thought about it for a long time but still couldn't understand. Of course, Emperor Ping would not let her figure it out.

At the beginning of the new year, Emperor Ping once again rejected the minister's proposal to select a concubine in the court. The ministers were in an uproar, but they did not dare to object in the court.

Only Prince Zhaoyang, who had a close relationship with Emperor Heping, complained about his brother Shengping during their time alone.

"The Wu Dynasty holds a general election every four years, and it is always held on the first day of the new year, but my brother hasn't held a harem selection for eight years. In these eight years, my brother's harem has only one person, the Imperial Noble Consort. Even if the Imperial Noble Consort is stunningly beautiful,

she would be tired of seeing her after eight years." Qin Shuangshuang felt very bitter. She wanted to tell her husband the secret, but she knew that her husband was a carefree person. If he knew, it would definitely cause trouble. She could only pretend to agree and said, "Yes, the emperor should also enrich the harem."

She was actually complaining in her heart that if the emperor was really willing to enrich the harem, it would definitely cure her impotence.

"Alas, it's also my brother's fault that he is too concerned about the country and the people. For the sake of the people, he doesn't even care about beauty." Prince Zhaoyang sighed, and remembered the gossip in the harem he had heard before, and continued to share it with his beloved wife, "You don't know, I once heard people discussing that my brother didn't often go to the Weirui Palace where the Imperial Concubine was, but only went out occasionally, and his face was always very happy. Tell me, does this Imperial Concubine have any magic that can tie my brother so tightly."

Qin Shuangshuang swallowed her saliva while lying in the quilt, and buried her head and stopped talking, because she remembered the scars she had seen on the body of the Imperial Concubine Gao Shiyi. If she accidentally told the royal secrets, it would implicate the entire Chaoyang Palace.

"Shuang'er, are you asleep?" Immersed in his own thoughts, Prince Zhaoyang gently embraced her, and found that there was no movement, so he blew out the candle.

In the dark, Qin Shuangshuang opened her eyes and sighed softly.

After Shi Yi suspected that Emperor Ping was reborn, she looked at him strangely.

Of course, Emperor Ping could sense her changes, but he pretended to know nothing and continued to do his own things.

Speaking of which, he actually liked this feeling.

Everything was under his control, except for the person he cared about most in his previous life. This could remind him all the time how difficult it was for him to be reborn.

Emperor Ping's smooth life suddenly changed at the age of 40.

This emperor who cared about the people went to observe the people's sentiments in person after the plague broke out in the south. As a result, the plague in the south was under control, but he contracted a serious illness due to fatigue. The

imperial physician's soup and medicine were delivered to Dayang Palace every day. Shi Yi, who was accompanying Emperor Ping, was always paying attention to his condition. But Emperor Ping's face was visibly haggard.

"Let's go out for a walk." After drinking the soup and medicine, Emperor Ping, who had been lying in bed for half a month, took the initiative to invite Shi Yi.

Shi Yi was concerned about his health. Instead of answering him, she looked at the imperial physician Cai beside him.

Imperial physician Cai quickly glanced at Emperor Ping's face, his eyes full of worry, worried that Emperor Ping was having a last gasp, but he couldn't bear to refuse Emperor Ping's rare request, so he could only nod slightly.

"Look, the pomegranate flowers are blooming particularly beautifully this year, but I don't know if I can still see the results." It took Emperor Ping half an hour to walk from Dayang Palace to the Imperial Garden.

Shi Yi helped him sit down on the stone bench and comforted him, "Your Majesty, you are blessed with great fortune, of course you can."

"I really want to." Emperor Ping looked at the pomegranate flowers on the tree, his eyes full of nostalgia, "I always thought that there was still a long time to go, and I could go to the places I wanted to go slowly, but I didn't expect that God would take back his favor on me."

"Why does the emperor say this?" Shi Yi knew the deep meaning of his words, but he was even more moved.

Emperor Ping gave her all the honor, favor, and even respect that a concubine wanted. She also thought that Emperor Ping would live a peaceful life like other emperors until he grows old, but she didn't expect that fate was so unexpected.
