Chapter 265 The Imperial Concubine 12
Watching him carefully sit on the edge of the bed, Ning Yan turned over and looked at him intently, "What did you guys say? Hurry up and tell me so I can hear it too."
Murong Yue's eyes darted around, and he began to spout nonsense: "The Prince of Nanling said that we can't kill Zhao Cheng directly yet, and that we should all be careful and not go to the palace too often."
Ning Yan: I don't believe you for a second.
However, whatever they're up to, as long as things don't get too bad, it's fine. It's just that I didn't expect the Prince of Nanling to compromise in the end.
She was still somewhat afraid that the Prince of Nanling would kill the other three.
As for her?
It's not that she's narcissistic; just look at his usual attitude towards her, he absolutely can't bear to part with her.
Well, next time he comes, she should try to coax him properly.
...
Children grow up quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they are already six months old. The three children were lying on the bed, kicking their limbs and making a racket, which made Ning Yan very happy.
Consort Xian also found out. What she thought were three nephews had turned into one, but that didn't stop her from rushing to the Empress's palace. The children were just too adorable, and she wished she could live in the Empress's palace every day.
That day, after having dinner in Weiyang Palace, before leaving, Consort Xian began to complain to her younger brother, "Sister-in-law, the Emperor has been ill for half a year, and it's about time to send him away."
That way, it will be easier for my stupid younger brother to enter the palace in the future, don't you think?
Besides, the Empress Dowager is no better than the Empress; at least you can rule from behind the curtain.
Ning Yan: "...I don't care, but the child will definitely miss his father."
Consort Xian was satisfied and hurriedly left Weiyang Palace with a group of palace maids and eunuchs.
...
Zhao Cheng was knocked unconscious by Yang Mo for three days before waking up. After waking up, he was unable to move and had also lost the ability to speak.
After Consort Xian entered, he blinked his eyes frantically, trying to get her to save him.
Yang Mo didn't know what kind of medicine he gave him, but he was like a prisoner, lying in bed all day unable to do anything, like a lump of mud.
He prayed frantically that someone would notice his abnormality and bring in the imperial physician to cure him. Then, he would tear all those who had harmed him to pieces!
But those people came and went, and none of them wanted to help him. He realized that they had all betrayed him.
But now Consort Xian has arrived!
She was the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor, and the two of them were childhood sweethearts. The Consort Xian had always admired him, otherwise she wouldn't have been made a Consort Xian. There was still some affection between them.
Unfortunately, after glancing at him, Consort Xian curled her lip in disdain and said, "Zhao Cheng, I've come to see you off on your final journey."
Zhao Cheng: What do you mean by "final journey"? I'm not dead yet!
"Actually, if my brother hadn't been so eager to get intimate with the Empress, you would have lived a few more days, because living a life worse than death is the best punishment for you."
Oh, you didn't know that the Empress had three sons with three different fathers, but you weren't among them.
One of them is my brother's, the Empress, she's truly amazing!
Zhao Cheng: !!!
Zhao Cheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Three sons, three fathers? Does that mean he's been cuckolded three times?
Ning Yan!
I'm going to kill you!
No, and those three adulterers, and their families too—he won't let any of them go!
He glared angrily at Consort Xian: Who are the other two lovers? Tell me, tell me!
Consort Xian quickly granted his wish. She smiled wickedly at Zhao Cheng: "The other two, one is your good royal uncle. Let me tell you, he's shameless. Just because he's the regent now, he runs to Weiyang Palace every day. Once, I went to see my nephew, and that shameless guy was hugging and kissing my sister-in-law. It made me so angry!"
Zhao Cheng was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently!
He wants to kill the Prince of Nanling! He wants to kill him!
"And another one is the Grand Commander of the Imperial Guards! Oh, don't get me wrong, your cousin didn't betray you, but he was too much of an eyesore, so Gao Sheng found a crime to put him in jail."
Now Gao Sheng has taken his place, and the entire palace is under his control.
That guy was a repressed pervert; under the guise of visiting his son, he spent all his time pestering the Empress, acting like he'd never seen a woman before. He was utterly shameless!
Consort Xian curled her lips in disdain. Actually, there was another one, Yang Mo. Although he had lost his roots, he still had his ways. He was actually the best at pleasing Ning Yan. After all, he was the Empress's fiancé back then.
Of the four men, Yang Mo's identity made it the most convenient for him to stay by the Empress's side.
Her younger brother was the one who suffered the most. He had to find an excuse to visit his older sister every time he went to the palace. Therefore, he had to kill Zhao Cheng as soon as possible so that it would be easier for the Empress to do whatever she wanted.
Zhao Cheng: ...!!!
Zhao Cheng was literally angered to death!
A mouthful of blood spurted out, reaching a height of three feet!
Although Consort Xian was indeed deliberately trying to anger him, she was genuinely shocked that he would vomit blood. Only after she was certain that Zhao Cheng was dead did she begin to cry out in alarm, "Quick, someone come quickly! The Emperor has vomited blood and fainted! Go and fetch the imperial physician immediately!"
What happened next was all an act. The emperor was already dead, so what use was the imperial physician?
Shortly after, the palace bells tolled, signaling the Emperor's passing!
Three years later.
During the morning court session, the three-and-a-half-year-old emperor sat alone on the dragon throne, while the regent, with a dark expression, frightened the ministers below so much that they dared not even breathe.
Minister of Rites: What's wrong with the Regent today? Why is his face so dark? It's making me afraid to even speak up when I had something to report.
Minister of Revenue: Who says otherwise? I never thought the Regent Prince had such a gloomy and unpredictable temper before. Ever since the late emperor passed away and the Regent Prince took over, he has been doing this kind of thing from time to time, just like someone who is insatiable.
No, when we get back to the manor today, let my wife act as matchmaker for the Regent. He's so old and still hasn't married, isn't he just unsatisfied?
After the court session ended, the young emperor jumped down from his throne and reached out to the regent. The regent immediately went over, took his son's hand, and headed towards the inner palace.
When they returned to the Hall of Diligent Governance, the father and son both sighed.
The young emperor patted his father's arm. "Father, just bear with it. Seven days will pass quickly. I'm keeping you company, aren't I?"
I feel like crying. My mother gave birth to three sons, so why did he have to become the emperor? He has to get up before dawn every day to attend court and listen to those old geezers nagging.
What about her two younger brothers? They can stay by their mother's side every day and go out to play with her.
Although the Empress Dowager never goes very far, even a little baby like him will miss her if she leaves for seven days.
"Come here, your father will teach you how to review memorials. Once all these memorials are processed, your father will take you to find your mother."
The young emperor's eyes lit up immediately. "Great! Father, you read it. Let's finish quickly and leave! Mother will be so happy to see her son!"
Regent: No, your mother will only be happy to see me.
...
At the manor on the outskirts of the capital, Murong Yue had already dismissed all the servants. The sky was ablaze with the glow of the setting sun, and the scenery by the hot spring was enchanting. Murong Yue picked up a wine cup from the tray, brought it to the lips of the woman in his arms, and watched her drink it all in one gulp.
With eyes brimming with spring and cheeks flushed with rosy blush, this beautiful sight surpasses even the sunset on the horizon.
Murong Yue stared at her, speechless. "My wife, you are so beautiful."
Ning Yan turned her head, her eyes sparkling, and kissed him on the corner of his slightly upturned lips. "You're handsome too."
"Wife, I, I want to go back to the room..." He had finally managed to coax his wife to come out for a private outing with him, and this time, he was going to enjoy himself to the fullest!
Ning Yan reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, "Carry me away."
"Okay, let your husband hold you." He laughed as soon as he said that. Now that she was a mother, she would sometimes act like a child and act coquettishly towards him, which made Murong Yue feel like he had raised another daughter.
The two got out of the hot spring, their clothes were all wet. Afraid that Ning Yan would get cold, Murong Yue wrapped her in a thin blanket. Just as they were about to make a move after returning to their room, a commotion came from outside.
"Mother, Mother! Father has brought your son here! Mother, where are you? Come out quickly, don't let your son look for you!"
Murong Yue: ...Suddenly, he had no thoughts at all.
Because usually when the regent arrives, the other two are not far behind.
Ning Yan chuckled. "Let's go see the children."
The two got dressed and went into the courtyard. Sure enough, the Regent, Gao Sheng, and Yang Mo were all there, each carrying a little one.
This isn't a romantic getaway with his wife; it's clearly a family dinner!
Ah, his and his wife's world together!
...
Ten years later, the regent returned power to the emperor, and the young emperor wept bitterly.
The ministers said: "Your Majesty is overacting. Which emperor doesn't want to have absolute power? If you keep crying, what if the regent regrets it?"
The young emperor is hoping the regent will regret his decision.
Unfortunately, crying won't help!
The regent simply patted his behind and left.
Two days later, General Gao and Grand Tutor Murong also resigned from their posts.
The four men secretly left the capital with the Empress Dowager in simple clothes, and from then on, the family of five was finally able to live together without any constraints.
