Jiang Lan didn't dare to get too close to Liu Neng's room and listened for a long time from outside.
I only heard them talking about some insignificant things. I knew I wouldn't hear anything useful today, so I left in a huff.
I thought I should find someone to come and watch over it.
Changying was the one with the highest martial arts skills among the group. He nodded when he heard the noise outside.
"The person has left."
The few of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Situ Yu leaned back in his chair.
"No, no, I'm really tired!"
Changying stood up and kicked him.
"Let's go and do some work."
Situ Yu felt like crying but had no tears, and secretly cursed him as a inhuman being.
But he said flatteringly, "We just arrived. How about we rest for a night before leaving?"
"Look, it's almost dark."
Changying didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly.
Situ Yu felt his whole body go numb when he looked at him, and finally he climbed up with a wry smile.
"Okay, let's go, let's go."
He resigned himself to his fate and went over to open the door. He waited for Changying to go out before he followed and walked out.
What kind of miserable life is this for him?
Meeting Qiu Mobai was his bad luck in life.
When the boy saw the two men leave, he looked at Liu Neng and said, "Uncle Liu, are we going to do it tonight as well?"
Liu Neng waved his hand, "No hurry, take a good rest today, play for a day tomorrow, and take action the day after tomorrow!"
Situ Yu, who had just walked a short distance when he heard this, vomited blood three times in his heart.
We are all human beings, why are our fates so different?
…
Bianjing City.
Because the old emperor was born frugal and didn't like extravagance.
So whether it was the prince or him, when they died, everything was kept simple.
But even with its simplicity, the old emperor's funeral took a whole month.
At this moment, in the imperial study of the palace, no one dared to make a sound.
The reason was simple: the new emperor, Emperor Xiaode Zhao Zecheng, fell asleep on the table after staying up for two nights in a row.
Even though it was dark, the flickering candlelight could not hide the dark circles under his eyes.
He was still muttering under his breath, "Traitor, thief!"
"I will kill you!"
The series of events, both large and small, made Emperor Xiaode, who was originally gentle and kind, become a little crazy.
After hearing what he had just said in his sleep, the eunuchs and palace maids below fell to their knees, trembling with fear.
Even Wang De, the chief eunuch who served Emperor Xiaode personally, was trembling with fear.
Emperor Xiaode clenched his hands tightly as scenes flashed before his eyes.
At the beginning, Hua Wanru became his queen, and her heart and eyes were filled with him.
Then he deposed her from the position of queen and banished her to the cold palace.
Later, she died miserably in the cold palace, pregnant with their child.
He screamed in pain, tears of regret streaming down his face, but it was too late. He couldn't change.
He couldn't let go, and he was helpless.
The scene flashed by, and he was standing on a high city wall looking down at the earth.
Suddenly a voice sounded in my ears.
"Your Majesty, you are so cruel! Why don't you believe me?"
He turned his head and saw Hua Wanru's slowly disappearing figure. He wanted to reach her with his hands, but he could reach nothing.
Instead, I heard shouts of killing.
He quickly turned his head and saw hundreds of thousands of soldiers under the high city wall, which made his scalp numb and his body tremble slightly.
These people, under the pretext of clearing the court of corrupt officials, wanted to force him to abdicate.
And the man riding in the center of the horse is his good fourth uncle, Zhao Yanshun, also the Prince of Yan.
Prince Yan looked at him with a cold tone and said, "Your Majesty, you listened to the treacherous ministers, murdered the loyal officials, killed the queen and the prince, and killed the emperor's uncle...!"
He could no longer hear what the King of Yan said. All he could hear was shouting and killing.
And in the end, he lost everything...
A "click" sound suddenly rang out in the empty hall.
It turned out that it was Emperor Xiaode's elbow that accidentally knocked a jade pen off the table.
The sudden sound frightened the palace maids and eunuchs, who were already weak at the knees, so much that they prostrated themselves on the ground.
Wang De also quickly bent down, carefully picked up the jade pen, and gently put it back on the table.
As soon as he raised his head, he met Emperor Xiaode's ink-black eyes.
He quickly knelt down, trembling all over, and apologized, "I deserve to die! I disturbed His Majesty's rest."
Emperor Xiaode frowned, blinked, and regained his consciousness. He retracted the indifference in his eyes and sat up.
He didn't say anything, but recalled the dream.
Thinking that the King of Yan would actually raise an army to rebel, the cold light in his eyes almost became real.
This was also the scene he had often dreamed of since he began to take over the throne.
Therefore, he thought that as soon as he ascended the throne, he would have to reduce the number of officials. He could not allow the King of Yan to become more powerful.
And those imperial uncles are no pushovers either.
He suddenly asked, "What time is it now?"
"To reply to Your Majesty, it is now 1:00 p.m." said Wang De.
Xiao De was silent, just when Wang De thought he would stop talking.
He frowned and asked again, "How is Zhao Zeguang doing recently?"
"In reply to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Liang has been sent to his fiefdom as per your instructions."
Emperor Xiaode nodded.
Prince of Liang is the second child and the second uncle of Emperor Xiaode. Zhao Zeguang is the youngest son of Prince of Liang and has been spoiled by Prince of Liang and his wife since childhood.
He actually went to a brothel secretly during the period of mourning for the old emperor, when banquets were forbidden. He was reported.
This was originally a crime of disrespect to the old emperor. The severe punishment could be to have Zhao Zeguang beheaded. The lightest punishment would be to be demoted to a commoner.
But Prince Liang and the Princess begged desperately.
Emperor Xiaode finally softened his heart and wanted to use this incident to win over King Liang, so he gave King Liang two choices: one was for Zhao Zeguang to return to his fiefdom and not be allowed to leave, and the other was to be imprisoned in the clan house.
It seems that King Liang chose to send Zhao Zeguang away.
Emperor Xiaode rubbed his aching forehead, looked at the people kneeling on the ground, and waved his hand.
"Okay, everyone, get up."
Everyone felt relieved and stood up, bowing.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Wang De looked at Emperor Xiaode, who looked very unhappy. He stepped forward cautiously and asked, "Your Majesty, your dinner..."
Emperor Xiaode pinched his brows with his hands and said, "Let someone bring it up, I'll use it right here!"
Wang De felt relieved and quickly sent people down to prepare.
Emperor Xiaode ate slowly and looked uninterested.
Wang De walked forward carefully, holding the Jingshifang sign.
"Your Majesty, you haven't been to the harem for a long time."
"Tonight, do you want to go to the harem ladies for a walk? It's also a good way to relax."
To be honest, their emperor really didn't want to go to the harem. It turned out that he was the same when he was still the crown prince.
If the old emperor hadn't been watching, he probably wouldn't have consummated the marriage.
"Empress Yu just sent someone over to tell you that she has painted a picture of snow plum blossoms that Your Majesty likes! I hope Your Majesty can take a look at it!"
"And Concubine Ying's place..."
