Tang Zhaoyu was so angry that she fainted in He's house. When she woke up again, she found herself lying on a hard cart.
She was confused and asked He's mother, "Mom, where is this?"
Mother He's face, which had been well-maintained, now looked as if she had aged a dozen years in an instant. She was completely dejected. Tears welled up in her eyes as she held Tang Zhaoyu's hand and said, "My child, Ah Yi is gone. Our whole family has been exiled."
When Tang Zhaoyu heard this, his eyes rolled back and he fainted again.
The He family: “............”
............
After Tang Wan gave birth to Ning'er and Le'er, she always stayed indoors, after all, there were always a lot of gossips around a widow.
Therefore, she was blocked from receiving news. By the time she learned that Princess Qinyang was dead, her two cubs could already walk and could even call for their mother incoherently.
Tang Wan: “…?!”
Her heart sank. She didn't know whether Qin Xuanzhi had succeeded in seizing the throne, but since Qin Yang was dead, logically speaking, Qin Xuanzhi should have been executed by Emperor Wenqing long ago.
The fact that we can still hear news about him today proves that he is still alive. Even if he did not succeed in seizing the throne, at least he is not living too badly.
She looked at the two cubs with wide eyes and decided to go back to Beijing to take a look.
On the other side, Qin Xuanzhi had unknowingly won the hearts of the people over the past year or so, and he no longer used a mask to disguise himself.
After all, he held a lot of secrets in his hands, and some ministers' families died because of Emperor Wen Qing. When Qin Xuanzhi wanted to usurp the throne, most of them turned a blind eye.
After all, the result of handing the world over to Emperor Wenqing to govern has long been obvious: the people are poorly clothed and hungry, and taxes are extremely high.
Officials like them who have climbed up from the bottom don't have it much easier and are inevitably discriminated against by the real powerful.
But now, this Majesty governs the country well, and apart from being a little taciturn, he has no shortcomings at all.
He was even quite accomplished in leading troops, as if he had figured out everyone.
All the court officials knew that he was not the same emperor as before. Some of them knew him because they had evidence against him, while others knew him because they were pretending to be stupid.
After all, His Majesty never tolerates those nobles, so he dismissed all the useless people from their posts and drove them out.
Those who stay are truly useful people.
The vast majority of people are grateful to him.
Qin Xuanzhi didn't have any thoughts on this, and he became more and more taciturn.
He has now reached the highest position, killed all his enemies, and taken good care of the third concubine, making her the princess of the county and having no worries about food and clothing.
However, when all the problems are solved, it seems that there is no motivation to live anymore.
People need hope to live.
Otherwise, you would be like a walking corpse without a soul. Although your body is still alive in this world, your spirit has long been destroyed.
He is less than 35 years old now, and logically speaking, he should be in the prime of his life.
But his body is not healthy, and can even be said to be a little weak.
Because he had cut his wrists before, he seemed a little struggling to pick up his once beloved sword.
The great general who fought on the battlefield had died long ago, along with his wife.
Now the only one who survives is a walking corpse.
Qin Xuanzhi sat in the moonlight. When the soft moonlight shone on his face, his cold expression softened a little.
Qin Xuanzhi didn't expect that he would see Tang Wan again in this situation.
He was handling some matters on the outskirts of the city and originally wanted to extort information from the two men, but they refused to talk, so he had them killed with a sword.
Warm blood splashed on his face, but his expression remained calm, with no special features.
Suddenly, he heard a strange sound coming from the bushes. The sound was subtle, but he still heard it. With a cold face, he shouted sternly: "Who?"
Tang Wan came out from the bushes with her two cubs, looking dusty.
Originally, she just wanted to bring her two kids out to get some fresh air, but she didn't expect to encounter such a bloody scene.
She looked at Qin Xuanzhi and stood there in a daze for a moment.
The reason is simple: he has changed so much.
In fact, it was less than two years since she left.
But he was more calm, with a gloomy look in his calmness. His eyes were frighteningly cold, like two deep and still ancient wells. If you stared at them for too long, it seemed as if they could suck you in in the next moment.
While she was looking at Qin Xuanzhi, Qin Xuanzhi was also looking at her. She changed her face, but her temperament remained the same.
She held one in her arms and another on her back, and looked so helpless when she was surrounded by the Yulin Army.
His voice was terribly hoarse, and his eyes were bloodshot: "Who are you?" he asked even though he knew the answer.
Tang Wan bowed slightly: "Tang Wan."
Qin Xuan knew it and said, "What a good name."
Tang Wan didn't know whether he recognized her or not. After all, this face had nothing to do with her original face.
Moreover, she didn't know whether Qin Xuanzhi had succeeded in usurping the throne, so she didn't dare to reveal her identity.
The next moment she heard Qin Xuanzhi say, "She is very beautiful. Bring her into the palace and make her queen."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around them gasped.
Does Your Majesty know what you are talking about?!
Qin Xuanzhi stared at her intently. Tang Wan hugged the two children and lowered her eyelashes: "Sir, please don't joke with me."
"How dare you, this is the current emperor. How dare you, a country girl, disrespect him?"
When Tang Wan heard this, she was about to kneel down, but was held up by a pair of hands.
Qin Xuanzhi's eyes were red, and he looked at her with gritted teeth, as if he was looking at a heartless man who had abandoned his husband and children. He spoke word by word, "You really made my life miserable."
Tang Wan was brought back to the palace and lived in the most luxurious Pepper Room.
Most of the beauties in the harem were given a large sum of money and sent out of the palace.
The sickly eldest prince soon fell seriously ill after losing his mother and passed away two months ago.
In this huge harem, there are only three of them, mother and son.
Qin Xuanzhi provided them with the best food, clothing and other necessities, and sent silks, satins, gold, silver and jewelry into the palace as if they were free.
But he himself never showed up again.
However, Tang Wan could feel that every time she pretended to sleep, there was always a shallow breathing sound beside her, and a pair of burning eyes, just staring at her without saying a word.
She could tolerate it once or twice, but it happened every day. She couldn't even sleep well, and when she did fall asleep, she would have nightmares.
That day, she finally couldn't help herself and opened her eyes, just in time to meet a pair of pitch-black eyes.
The two looked at each other in silence, neither of them spoke first.
