A Bitao Spring Water Road

Next article: Breaking Luo Yi Chapter 35 "Why are you sleeping here?" "Back to the emperor, the emperor had a high fever last night. The imperial doctor tried several methods but could not reduce the fever. The empress later discussed with the imperial doctor to use white wine mixed with warm water to wipe the emperor's fever. The empress was worried that the emperor had a fever again and kept guarding the bed. He just fell asleep." Drowsily, Zeng Qianruo heard the conversation above, quickly rubbed his eyes and woke up: "Are you awake?" Then he touched Song Yongyan's forehead. Fortunately, the temperature was relatively normal, although he had a high fever at night and his face was a bit haggard now. Seeing Zeng Xianruo's eyes turning blue and her face becoming haggard, Song Yongyan felt a little distressed, "I have so many servants around me, so don't keep watch at night." "The emperor didn't know how dangerous last night was. The imperial doctor said that he had a fever and was worried that the fever would not subside at night. The emperor had a high fever last night. The imperial doctors used acupuncture and warm water. The temperature dropped for a while and then rose again. In the end, he was about to prescribe medicine for the emperor again. Later, I discussed with the imperial doctor and used high-strength liquor mixed with warm water to wipe it. It took the emperor's fever two times to subside. Fortunately, the fever did not come back again in the second half of the night." "White wine mixed with warm water to wipe? What is this method? How do you know?" "I heard from my father that when he was a young man, he was a businessman and sometimes slept in remote places. Someone in the team had a high fever at night. At that time, he only had wine around him, so he wiped it with wine. The fever actually subsided, so he used it as a small folk remedy." That is a modern method of reducing fever. How to tell the truth, I have to use the merchant's father as a cover. "Then you gave Li Yizheng a good prescription for reducing fever. Li Yizheng and your imperial doctors should quickly study it. What is the rationale for this folk prescription? Is this fever-reducing method available to everyone?" "According to the order!" The imperial doctors quickly replied. Although Song Yongyan's fever would recur during the day, it was not as high as last night. And with last night's experience, Zeng Qianruo took some time to rest during the day to prevent Song Yongyan from having a high fever again at night. Fortunately, although Song Yongyan had a fever again tonight, the fever could subside after wiping with warm water. Doctor Li said that this showed that the body was getting better. Zeng Xianruo felt relieved. After three or four days of continuous treatment, Song Yongyan's condition stabilized. Zeng Qianruo then waited on him in Qingning Hall during the day, and returned to Weiyi Palace at night after Song Yongyan fell asleep. Then he got up early the next morning and hurried back to Qingning Hall. First, she let go of her child. Secondly, it was not very convenient to wash or rest at Song Yongyan's place, so she took the trouble to go back and forth. Today is already the eighth day. Zeng Xianruo is accompanying Song Yongyan to handle official business. "It stands to reason that the emperor's body has fully recovered now and he can go to court to govern. Why...?" It is said that if you have a cold or fever, you need to take medicine for one week, and if you don't take medicine for one week, seven days In the past, Song Yongyan no longer had a fever and other cold symptoms had disappeared. According to his character, he should have rushed to the court to handle affairs. However, he was still the same as when he was sick. He entrusted political affairs to the discussion group and hid in the palace to handle them. If something is abnormal, it will be a monster. Zeng Xianruo thought about it for a long time and finally asked. "It's a good time to get sick this time and try to see if some people can show their fox tail." Song Yongyan said inscrutably. Fox? Who is he referring to? Someone who wants to take advantage of the opportunity to seize power? Longevity King Song Yongcong? Unable to guess, Zeng Xianruo didn't think about it again. After all, walls have ears. Now the people serving in Qingning Palace don't know if they have ears from others. After several incidents, there are many undercurrents in the palace and many conspiracies are hard to guard against. Since the emperor already has an idea, he must have thought of a countermeasure. I don't know if it was in response to Song Yongyan's words. A few days later, news came from the harem that "Concubine Zeng is controlling the emperor, and she won't let the emperor come out to see people even after the emperor has recovered from his illness." Later, the news became more and more weird, "Concubine Zeng colluded with King An to control the emperor and did not let the emperor come out to manage government affairs. They want to keep doing this to cover the sky with one hand." When she heard these rumors, Zeng Qianruo was cleaning Song Yongyan's face. "Is this what the emperor said about catching the fox by the tail?" "Don't worry, Yuruo, I won't believe these lies." "You won't believe it, but they spread it like this. What would Yong Yuan think? What would Princess An think? What would the courtiers think?" Zeng Xianruo said angrily. She didn't know if Song Yongyan's factors were involved in this rumor. "Xianruo, maybe I have to wrong you a little during this period. I am setting up a trap to see if I can catch the biggest fox." Song Yongyan approached Zeng Xianruo and whispered softly. Because of Song Yongyan's indulgence, rumors were increasing, and many ministers from other dynasties were dubious. After all, the emperor had not come out to govern the court for more than half a month, and no one came out to refute the rumors and explain what illness the emperor was suffering from? How far has the condition reached? ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ "People are saying outside that Concubine Zeng in the Inner Palace colluded with His Highness Prince An to control the government and prevent the Emperor from going out to work? Is this true?" Asked General Gao Da's wife. "I can't explain this clearly. The emperor summoned the members of our discussion group on the first day of his illness, and only King An and the right minister entered the emperor's palace. We were all waiting outside the door. Although we heard the emperor's voice, we saw no one after all, and it has been more than half a month. No one has come out to explain how the emperor's condition is. No matter how you look at it, this thing is weird. You didn't ask Yan'er, is there any news in the palace?" General Gao also asked with an unpredictable face. "She didn't find out anything. On the first day that the emperor fell ill, Concubine Zeng blocked the news. No one in the palace was allowed to move around casually, and no news was allowed to spread outside. Moreover, it seemed that there was no movement from the imperial army. In fact, the precautions were much tighter than usual." "Come here, I'm going to pay a visit to Prince Shou's Mansion tonight." ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ "Your Majesty, according to the reports from our spies, the Emperor has indeed been staying in his palace these days. Major matters such as the approval of papers outside are being discussed by the nine-member discussion group. Logically speaking, the Emperor will not delegate his power to the point where he cannot get up?" The staff said thoughtfully. "You're right. I know him well as the younger brother of the Third Emperor. He has been ambitious since he was a child. For the sake of the throne, he has endured a lot of humiliation and humiliation in those years. Once he ascends to a high position, he will never allow the power not to be in his own hands. Something must have happened in the palace." "Your Majesty, General Gao is here to visit!" "Invitation!" King Shou said to his staff, "It seems that some people can't sit still." Next article: Breaking Luo Yi Chapter 36 A few days later, the emperor still did not come out to govern the court, and the hearts of the people in the harem became more and more unstable. Someone bribed the little maid Sasa of Weiyi Palace to find out about Zeng Xianruo's activities. Fortunately, Xiao Hezi was alert and arrested her before the news was passed on. When he arrived, Zeng Xianruo ordered ten big boards to be beaten, and after the beating was completed, he was expelled from the palace (before leaving the palace, he quietly asked the imperial doctor to examine the wound and prescribe medicine). With such an example in front of him, everyone in Weiyi Palace was even more cautious. The maids and attendants refused to say a word except for doing things. Zeng Xianruo couldn't get any information here. Someone wanted to extend his claws to Qingning Palace, but Qingning Palace was even more defensive. Before he could reach out, his hand was cut off. A young eunuch who was working on the outside tried to get close to the emperor's palace and was killed with a cane. The severe punishment temporarily scared away the peepers. On this day, when Zeng Xianruo was in Qingning Palace to apologize, Song Yongyan whispered quietly: "Xiangruo, tonight, you and Ning'er will leave the palace with your personal maids and attendants, and stay in Donglin Garden temporarily. Yao Huan's deputy Liu Yong will lead his troops to protect you." "What about the emperor if we leave?" "Don't worry, I have arranged everything myself. I don't want to be like the last time I went to Luoyang Palace and the poisoned wine incident at the palace banquet. You are my weakness. It will be much easier for me to deal with you if you are not in the palace." "Well, Your Majesty, please be careful. Ning'er and I are waiting for you." Zeng Xianruo thought about it again and again, and finally replied. "Well, after I can solve the serious problem this time, I won't let you be wronged again." After saying that, Song Yongyan gently kissed Zeng Qianruo's temples. ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ That night, Zeng Xianruo took Ning'er, Nanny Xu, Xiao Hezi and a few personal maids into three inconspicuous carriages and drove out from the back door of the palace. In the Weiyi Palace, the remaining people had to pretend that the empress and the prince were still in the palace and were not allowed to leak any information. With the emperor's secret badge, the palace gates and city gates were quietly opened and closed. At three or four in the middle of the night, Zeng Qiangruo and the nanny holding her sleeping son arrived at Donglin Garden. It was already October, and it was already late autumn. , Donglin Garden is located in the mountains, and the weather is even colder. Everyone silently quickened their pace. When they entered the house, luckily the house had been tidied up, and charcoal basins were lit. Everyone drank hot water to warm themselves up, rinsed their mouths quickly, and went to bed hastily. This Donglin Garden is relatively familiar to Zeng Qianruo. She stayed here for nearly a year when she was pregnant. Unexpectedly, she would return here after nearly two years. The sun and moon are long in the mountains, which is different from the world. Zeng Qianruo can't get any information from the outside world for the time being, so he has to live in Donglin Garden with his children. ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ "Your Majesty, I discovered that King Shou and General Gao Da were mobilizing the troops of the Gyeonggi Guard..." Yao Huan reported. "Hold on to the soldiers and horses of the Forbidden Army and guard all the entrances to the palace." "Yong Yuan, where are the troops I asked you to transfer back from the border?" "So as not to alarm others, the manpower transferred back this time is to avoid King Shou and General Gao Da. A quarter of the men and horses from each border town, a total of one hundred thousand, are stationed in the Wanning County camp. They are commanded by the veteran Feng Wanning. Feng Wanning had a sworn enemy with Gao Jianye in the early years. Once His Majesty gives the order, the rush march will be felt in an hour." "Okay, we made an appointment with Feng Wanning. When the time comes, we will use the signal as a basis. When the signal is received, we will rush to the palace immediately. Anyone who blocks his path will be killed." ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ "Your Excellency, we have discovered that the people of King Shou's lineage have shown some unusual signs recently. Do you think we should..." "The emperor is probably setting a trap to let some people fall into the trap. In the early years, King Shou has been competing with Jinshang for the throne. Although it was Jinshang who finally ascended the throne, King Shou may not be convinced. In terms of his direct lineage, there is the former crown prince Bohai King, and in terms of longevity, King Shou is also ranked first. Before today, King Shou had been making small moves over the years, but because he was cautious, he didn't reveal any major flaws, but that doesn't mean the emperor didn't know what he was thinking," Su Yanru said with a faint smile and a sharp analysis. "Moreover, in recent years, the emperor first moved the left prime minister Cui Ke, raided the Xu family of the wealthy family, and then used the King of Bohai to rebel and exile the Wu family, which dealt a huge blow to the wealthy family. Now only the Xungui faction is left. General Gao Da controls a small amount of key military power in the Gyeonggi Guard. It seems that the emperor has to get rid of them." "Well, look at the emperor's actions this time. He used various means to continuously attack the power of the Gao family, force the Gao family to form an alliance with King Shou, and use King Shou's ambition to defeat them all at once." "Then let's..." "Someone reported that there were also whispers in the harem..." "Don't worry about this, send our people to keep an eye on Donglin Garden!" "Yes, sir." ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Prince Shou's Mansion, "Your Majesty, General Gao has mobilized 80,000 trustworthy troops to participate in our attack. Together with the Prince's troops, we have hundreds of thousands of troops this time. The Imperial Army only has 60,000 troops in total, plus the troops that the emperor can mobilize in surrounding counties, the total will not exceed 80,000. Moreover, our 100,000 troops are elite soldiers, and with a heavy formation of 5,000 troops, if we miss one of them and fail to kill them, the chances of winning are very high." "Lin Gong is right, our own military strength can win. Unfortunately, this time we can't make peace with the frontiers internally and externally. Prince Bath became the khan and has been playing Tai Chi with the lobbyists we sent. One moment he said that he had just ascended the throne and needed to recuperate, and the other moment he said that the grassland was affected by the disaster and there was insufficient food and grass. After all, he just didn't want to send troops." "Humph, what's weird about this? Basi has always been very cunning. He doesn't let go of hawks when he sees rabbits. Maybe he wants us to fight him ourselves so that he can reap the benefits. Let Gao Jianye inform Han Wei to monitor Kerqin's movements for me. Han Wei is here He is just a fool. He doesn't dare to do anything if the king asks him to, but he is completely biased toward the emperor. He is also afraid that he will not be able to gain the merit of being a leader. Forget it, this time he just needs to stabilize the rear and wait for me to settle the score. " "Your Majesty is wise!" "Come on, let's sum up the route and the control of the troops from all walks of life, and strive for the speed of the troops. Only when they are not fully prepared can we win a beautiful victory!" Next article: Breaking Luo Yi Chapter 37 It was late autumn and the night was cool. A sound of horse hooves hit the road, which was very clear in the quiet night. "Who is it? Did you know there is a curfew at night?" The soldier guarding the door cursed and got up to check. As soon as a gap was opened, "Ah!" Before he could recover, his throat was cut and killed. The other soldiers who were awakened quickly sounded the gong to warn, and the entire south gate of the capital suddenly fell into chaos. "Your Highness, the south gate has issued a warning." "Okay, hurry up and inform Feng Wanning to come to Beijing immediately." These days, Song Yongyuan has not returned to the palace. He has been preparing for the battle in the palace, and finally waited for the signal for the decisive battle. "Your Majesty, there is a message from His Highness Prince An that there is movement at the south gate." "Okay, send a message to Yao Huan to keep an eye on the entrance to the palace and be prepared." The soldiers were very fast. King Shou led his troops to break through the south gate of the capital late at night and rushed all the way to the palace. No one dared to stop him along the way. Seeing that the momentum was not right, the common people in the capital closed their doors tightly and were too scared to come forward. Ordinary officials also told their servants to keep an eye on their doors. The atmosphere in the capital suddenly became tense. "What kind of traitors are you? How dare you cause trouble in the palace late at night?" Yao Huan's imperial army shouted sternly when they saw the troops galloping along the way. "Are we not traitors? The emperor has been in the palace for more than a month and has not come out to handle affairs. Who knows if he is controlled by the demon concubine in the palace?" King Shou stood up and asked loudly. "His Royal Highness King Shou, it turns out it's you. Do you know that leading troops without a call is considered treason?" Yao Huan stood up and asked. "I am from a royal family, do you need to tell me this? I am raising troops today to clear the emperor's side and rescue the emperor. Isn't Concubine Zeng colluding with Prince An to control the government in the palace? Could it be that the emperor has been secretly imprisoned?" "Brother Second Emperor really thinks highly of me, but this excuse from Lord Qing cannot cover up his rebellious ambition." King An, Song Yongyuan, stood on the palace wall and shouted to King Shou. "Humph, who doesn't know that Concubine Zeng has had a good relationship with you since she entered the palace, and you have been supporting her since she entered the harem. This time the emperor is ill, Concubine Zeng controls everything in the inner palace, and you, Prince An, are the director of the outer court. Does the emperor know about these arrangements?" Prince Shou continued to argue. "Hmph, the second emperor brother actually has so many speculations. As long as you have the ability today, you will naturally be able to see the emperor." King An said with a sneer. "Stop talking nonsense, come on, everyone, it depends on tonight whether you can be granted a title or nobility." Upon hearing this slogan, the soldiers on Shou Wang's side, stimulated by fame and fortune, howled and rushed forward. Yao Huan quickly organized the imperial army to prepare for interception, and the two sides fought fiercely. King Shou's troops numbered over 100,000 and were well prepared. However, when they came from a long distance, they were fierce in fighting at first, and it was very difficult for the Imperial Army to resist. But fortunately, Yao Huan had been well prepared to defend the imperial city these days. He was well prepared in terms of men, horses, protective equipment, and combat readiness. Although the people were The number was only 80,000 less than the other side, but since King Bohai's rebellion last year, the imperial army was fought out of the sea of corpse wind and blood, and its combat effectiveness was greatly improved. Therefore, in the half-hour protection battle, the two sides fought fiercely, with each other winning and losing, and the result could not be determined for a while. The Forbidden Army has always felt to King Shou like a young soldier, a refuge for the descendants of noble nobles. It is beautiful but useless. Unexpectedly, today's fighting power is so tenacious. His own tens of thousands of troops can't defeat the eighty thousand Forbidden Army for a while. "Listen, everyone, as long as we can conquer the Meridian Gate of the Imperial Palace today, all of them will be promoted to the third level, and the first person to succeed will be granted the title of Marquis. I will also reward you with fifty thousand taels of silver. Come on, everyone!" "The second emperor brother already regards himself as the emperor? Can you give me a title like a prince?" Song Yongyan's voice came calmly. "Your Majesty, it's your Majesty, your Majesty has come out fine." The Imperial Army cheered. Although they resisted tenaciously, some soldiers listened to King Shou's instigation and had some doubts about whether the Emperor was safe and alive. Now seeing the emperor himself, he was very excited. "I didn't expect the emperor to come out in person. Humph, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I'll see you tonight." "Didn't the Second Emperor Brother say that he wants to clear the emperor? Now that I have come out fine? What other reasons do you have?" "Even if the Emperor is good, we must raise troops to destroy the evil concubine and the rebellious officials and traitors. National political affairs are in the hands of Concubine Zeng and Prince An. As the main branch of the royal family, we will never agree." "Hmph, if the Second Emperor Brother is so capable, then come in and talk to me. Soldiers below, listen, if you put down your weapons from now on, I can think that you were deceived and forget about it; if you continue to follow King Shou to cause rebellion, he will punish the nine clans. I have said what I said, and it is difficult for a horse to chase you!" The soldiers on King Shou's side were suddenly shaken. "Listen, everyone, since we have come here, we can only move forward and not retreat. Everyone, rush forward. As long as you rush through this door, you will be rewarded." King Shou took the lead and rushed forward. Yao Huan's imperial army hurriedly continued fighting. One guarded the door and the other wanted to seize it. The sound of weapons, cries of pain, and roars intertwined. The entrance to the palace at noon became a Shura field in the world. People kept falling, but the people behind stepped on the bodies of the people in front and continued to rush forward. King Shou's eyes were bloodshot from the killing. When he saw that the number of the Forbidden Army was getting smaller and smaller, and the gatekeepers were becoming more and more constrained, he laughed loudly: "Everyone, keep charging, the victory will belong to us soon!" "His Royal Highness, King Shou, is as proud as before. Feng Wanning is willing to fight!" A night march suddenly appeared from the north in the distance. The veteran leader's voice sounded like a bell. The soldiers on King Shou's side stopped immediately and looked at each other. "Feng Wanning, is that you? Aren't you stationed in the northwest frontier?" "Second Emperor Brother is actively mobilizing troops and generals, we can't just sit there, right?" Came the sarcastic voice of King An. "You, you. Are you prepared?" King Shou's voice suddenly became panicked. It turned out that he had always thought that even if he was prepared, the emperor and King An could only mobilize troops near the capital. He sent his cronies from all over the border to monitor the emperor's troop movements, but there was no movement. Therefore, he had always been confident that his own troops were better than the other side. Now the situation suddenly reversed, and he was afraid that he would have to answer here today. "Song Yongyan, you have always been good at playing tricks, but I didn't expect that this time you dug a big hole for me by taking advantage of your illness?" "It's true that I was sick some time ago. I just found that although I was sick, as long as I made proper arrangements, the government affairs of the court would still run smoothly, so I thought of continuing to rest for a few more days. Unexpectedly, the second emperor brother couldn't help but come to Qingjun's side?" "You? In the past, you used conspiracy and trickery to become the emperor. No matter how you are considered your direct descendant, it is not your turn." "It turns out that the Second Emperor Brother has always been dissatisfied with my ascension to the throne. In this case, as long as you can stand in front of me alive today, I can listen to your thoughts. Kill without mercy!" Song Yongyan's cold voice came. Shou Wang's soldiers saw that the situation was not right and wanted to retreat to the rear, but a team of Feng Wanning surrounded the south, and there were the Forbidden Army and Feng Wanning's main force in the north. Now Shou Wang's troops were made dumplings. Next article: Save Luo Yi Chapter 38 The situation was one-sided, and the battle turned into a one-sided harvest. The soldiers on King Shou's side fell one by one. In the end, even King Shou himself was captured by Feng Wanning himself, and it became impossible for him to commit suicide. "Song Yongcong, you have always been dissatisfied with my ascension to the throne. You have made frequent small moves, contacted border generals without authorization, colluded with Keqin, and wooed courtiers in the court. I have always seen these things. Now what else do you have to say?" "The king is successful and the bandit is defeated. Now that the situation has come to an end, it's up to you to kill or behead them all!" "Okay, put King Shou down, Yao Huan, you lead people to clean up the battlefield!" "Song Yongyan, you are so proud now. Haven't you noticed that Gao Jianye is not in this team?" "Sure enough, you got Gao Jianye's support in raising the army this time. Since you have been defeated, will I still be afraid of Gao Jianye?" "Haha, General Gao, with his 10,000 troops, may have arrested your beloved woman and son by now. I hope you will still be able to laugh by then." "You! If anything happens to Qian Ruo and Ning'er, I will cut you into pieces! Yong Yuan, hurry up, take people to Donglin Garden!" Song Yongyuan knew it was serious as soon as he saw the emperor's brother's expression, so he quickly took 40,000 people from Feng Wanning's team and galloped towards Donglinyuan. ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ In fact, when the army started tonight, King Shou was originally planning to act together with Gao Jianye, but when they were about to set off, Gao Jianye suddenly proposed that he would take 10,000 troops to Donglin Garden to capture Concubine Zeng and the third prince. King Shou thought for a while that he still had more troops left than the imperial army, and when the time came, he would capture the emperor's beloved woman and son and kill them in front of him. This scene was so exciting that he agreed. Donglin Garden is built on the mountain and is surrounded by dense forests. Only the south gate of the main gate has a road up the mountain. Gao Jianye led the soldiers all the way and was stopped by the soldiers on duty at the gate: "Who are you? Do you have an order from the emperor?" Gao Jianye didn't waste any time and ordered the soldiers to break through directly. Seeing that the situation was not good, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army quickly asked his men to lead a team to protect Concubine Zeng and evacuate. "Mother, there seems to be something wrong at the foot of the mountain." Xiao Hezi came to Zeng Qianruo's bedroom. She had just put down her book and was getting ready to go to bed. "Come here, please hurry up and get everyone dressed. Let's gather in the hall." Zeng Qianruo got dressed herself, then went to her son's room and asked the nanny to carry the child to the hall. Sure enough, after a while, an anxious voice sounded at the door: "Your Majesty, General Jiang Cheng has something urgent to report." "Come in alone and talk." I saw a tall man with a purple face, about thirty years old, come in, "Mother, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army asked the general to lead a group of troops to protect the queen and evacuate to the north gate. Now Gao Jianye is leading the troops at the south gate to break through." "Your Majesty, what should we do?" Many palace maids were very frightened when they heard the news, and everyone turned their attention to Zeng Xiuruo. "Xiao Hezi, Nanny Xu and the team of nannies holding Ning'er were led by Jiang Cheng to protect them and headed towards the south gate. Don't take the main road, but take the path in the forest. When they got to the rockery pile at the door, they temporarily hid in the rockery and waited for the people sent by the emperor to rescue them. Huai'en and Cai Lu, you two, and the protection team went east. Cai Lan and Cai Qing, you two. The people and the protection team will go north, and I will take two people and a protection team to go west. Everyone will spread out so that they have a better chance of escaping. Remember, if you are discovered by the rebels, surrender as long as you can survive. Everyone, it's cold at night, put on more clothes." Zeng Qianruo pondered for a moment and quickly gave instructions. "Xiao Hezi, Aunt Xu, Ning'er is entrusted to you. Just in case... You just tell him that mommy will always love him and hope he grows up safely. Let's go!" Zeng Qianruo kissed her son and then pushed the nanny. "Empress, let's stay and confuse the enemy!" "Everyone, let's go quickly. If we all flee, it will confuse the enemy even more!" With that said, Zeng Yunruo led a bunch of people and ran to the west. Of course, you can't light torches to escape. Everyone can only use the starlight in the sky to carefully run down the mountain. After a while, they can only I could see little dots scattered around, and I didn't know if I could escape. At this time, Zeng Qianruo could only pray: the worst case scenario was that her son could escape, and the worst case scenario was that she would be caught and used as a bargaining chip to blackmail Song Yongyan. The path in the mountain was rugged and difficult to walk, and as they were fleeing, everyone could not help but panic. "Oh," a little palace maid who was following Zeng Xianruo accidentally tripped on a tree heel and fell. "Can you still get up?" "Mom, I seem to have sprained my foot and can't run anymore." Zeng Xianruo sent soldiers to pick up the little palace maid and hide her behind a big tree, "Then, you stay here and wait for the rescuers to arrive. Don't make any noise to be discovered by the enemy. Let's keep walking." Zeng Xianruo was cruel and continued to run west. Later, in order not to trip and fall, the soldiers helped Zeng Xianruo and the remaining palace maids to run forward. As expected by Zeng Xianruo, after Gao Jianye broke through the south gate, he led his men straight towards the residence on the mountain from the main road. When he found that no one was there, he separated a large group of troops and chased to the north (because the road to the north gate was flatter and was the shortest road out of Donglin Garden), and a small number of troops were also sent in the other two directions to pursue. On the contrary, no one was sent to chase the south gate going up the mountain because it was dark under the lights. Xiao Hezi, Nanny Xu and the others cautiously moved down the forest path. On the way, they heard the movement of the troops led by Gao Jianye as they charged up the mountain. They were so frightened that they hid behind the trees and did not dare to make any sound. They waited for a long time after the rebels passed before they continued to move down the mountain cautiously. When we got to the bottom of the mountain, we saw that the entrance looked like a scene in hell. Dead soldiers were lying on the ground in a pile, with blood flowing on the ground. If you get close, you can smell the smell of blood. Some timid palace maids were so frightened that they wanted to cry, but they did not dare and could only cover their mouths tightly. "Everyone, hurry up and hide in the rockery, just in case Gao Jianye reacts and comes to chase us." Xiao Hezi whispered, and hid in the rockery with the nanny holding the third prince, and tried to stay as far away from the south gate as possible, but still able to see the movement at the door at any time. The wind on the mountain was howling, as if a mandrill monster was roaring, and the moonlight reflected the miserable scene on the ground. This night was truly unforgettable. At this time, Xiaohezi was really lucky that the third prince was young, because it was late at night and he was fast asleep. He was in the arms of the nanny and did not know these things. "Quickly, leave a team of troops to see if there are any remaining Imperial Guards. The others will follow me up the mountain." A voice suddenly came from the south gate. The voice seemed familiar. Xiao Hezi quickly and quietly looked towards the south gate. It was as if he had met a savior. It turned out that Song Yongyan had already arrived with his troops. "Your Highness Prince An, the third prince is here." Xiao Hezi rushed out and shouted in the direction of Song Yongyan. "Is it you? Xiao Hezi, you are the eunuch who is following Concubine Zeng, right?" Song Yongyan used torches and moonlight to identify Xiao Hezi and recognized Xiao Hezi. "Your Highness, the third prince is well here. Please send someone to rescue Concubine Zeng. Concubine Zeng and the remaining maids and attendants ran down the mountain in three directions. Concubine Zeng must have run to the west. There are also people on the east and north sides." "Come here, take His Highness the Third Prince back to the palace to see the Emperor. The rest of you will follow me to rescue people." "Mother Xu, please take the third prince back to the palace. Prince An and I will go rescue the empress." Xiao Hezi ran quickly to keep up with Song Yongyan's team. Next article: Breaking Luo Yi Chapter 39 The team led by Gao Jianye first caught the palace ladies running north. Although the palace ladies were very frightened when they saw them, they surrendered without hesitation and raised their hands without any resistance at all. "Where are Concubine Zeng and the third prince?" Gao Jianye inquired and found that Concubine Zeng was not there, so he asked sternly. "The empress and the third prince ran in another direction. The empress ordered us to run first. They may have gone east or west." A palace maid said, trembling with fear. "Prince Shou was right when he said that Zeng Xianruo was cunning. Fortunately, I also sent troops in the two directions. Now they can't escape!" ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ The situation on Zeng Xianruo's side was not very good. Some of the maids fell and couldn't keep up, and two soldiers were bitten by poisonous insects and couldn't walk. Now only Zeng Xianruo and one maid were left to run forward with the escorting soldiers. There were only three soldiers left. Everyone was running a little out of breath, but they didn't dare to stop for a moment. "People in front, stop for me, otherwise we will shoot arrows." What's even worse is that the shouts of pursuing soldiers came from behind. Are you going to be caught like this? Just when Zeng Xianruo was hesitating whether to surrender immediately or to resist desperately, "Ah" suddenly got hit on the back of the neck, and she fainted. "What are you doing?" The remaining little palace maid was hit before she could finish her words and she fainted. "You two will deal with the aftermath!" I saw a figure carrying Zeng Xianruo and galloping down the mountain. The remaining two soldiers set fire to the dead grass on the roadside, and at the same time attacked the pursuing soldiers fiercely to resist their pursuit. For a time, the sounds of fighting and roaring came one after another, and the wind helped the fire, burning the dead bodies to a black and carbonized state. I believe no one would be able to recognize their true colors. ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ After the troops led by Song Yongyuan joined in, Gao Jianye's troops gradually lost ground. Many people were killed, and many others laid down their weapons and surrendered. Zeng Xianruo's original palace maids and attendants in the east and north gradually came back, but Song Yongyuan received bad news. "To report to His Highness Prince An, our troops who went to the west to rescue found that there was a fire in the west, which burned down the road to the foot of the mountain. We also found traces of fighting on the road. Many people were killed or burned to death. We searched for a long time and did not find Concubine Zeng." The first troops to rescue in the west reported hurriedly after meeting Song Yongyuan who came to the west. "Hurry up and send a team of troops to detour from the north gate to the west gate, and then organize a team of troops to kill them, and another team to clean up the battlefield. If you find a woman, whether alive or dead... You have to carry her to the south gate of the mountain." When he said the word "death", Song Yongyuan couldn't go on, and he forced himself to give the order quickly. "Whether you live or die, I will find you." Song Yongyuan said silently. ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince An's troops have returned." The prince's slightly surprised voice came. "Quick, let them in." "The old slave has brought the third prince back." Nanny Xu stepped into the Qingning Palace and knelt down to Song Yongyan. "Ning'er, is Ning'er okay? Are you injured?" Song Yongyan stood up and walked towards his son's place, asking anxiously: "Where is Concubine Zeng? Didn't she come back with you?" Looking around, he didn't find the person he wanted to see the most, and Song Yongyan had a bad feeling in his heart. "The Empress ordered our team to escape towards the south gate of Donglin Garden. We were the first to encounter His Highness Prince An who was rescuing him. His Highness sent the third prince back to the palace first. His Highness Prince An continued to send people to rescue the Empress and others." Nanny Xu quickly explained to Song Yongyan, and Song Yongyan had no choice but to continue waiting patiently. If the chaos had not just been calmed down, the palace would still be inseparable from him for the time being. He really wanted to ride to Donglin Garden and pick up Zeng Qianruo in person. "Xian Ruo, Xian Ruo, are you still safe? We have gone through so many ups and downs to finally be together. I hope God..." Even Song Yongyan, who always prided himself on being strong, had to pray to God. "You take the third prince to my palace to rest first. Jingzhong will send people to seal Concubine Yan's palace. No unauthorized access to other palaces is allowed. Anyone who violates this rule will be put to death." "According to the order." ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ The white fish belly finally appeared in the east. No matter how bloody and terrifying the night was, the sun was still going to rise. King An Song Yongyuan finally returned with his troops. "Where's Zeng Ruo? Didn't you find Zeng Ruo?" Song Yongyan looked around anxiously and found no sign of Zeng Xianruo, so he raised his head and asked his brother who seemed to be filled with grief. "Brother Emperor, we searched all night and found no trace of Concubine Zeng. Then someone identified the dead person. Maybe, maybe..." Song Yongyuan seemed unable to continue. "I don't believe it, I don't believe it..." I don't know whether he doubted Song Yongyuan's words or couldn't accept the reality. Song Yongyan said repeatedly, and suddenly "Pfft..." Song Yongyan was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. "Brother Emperor, hurry up, call the imperial doctor over here." Song Yongyuan quickly stepped forward to support the brother. The imperial doctor diagnosed that the emperor had not rested all night, was anxious and angry, and was so angry that he vomited blood. The imperial doctor performed some acupuncture and stopped the momentum. Song Yongyan struggled to stand up, "Quick, quick, Yongyuan, you and Feng Wanning are guarding the palace. I want to go there in person. Whether it's life or death, I want to see it in person." "Brother Imperial, you, you, the scene there is very... I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." "No matter what, I have to go once." ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Song Yongyan arrived at the south gate of Donglin Garden in a carriage. Because he had just vomited blood, Song Yongyuan and Wang Gonggong were determined not to let him ride a horse, so they took a car instead. They urged him several times along the way. They arrived at Donglin Garden more than half an hour later. The sun had already shone on the entire Donglin Garden. The normally magnificent royal garden seemed bleak at this time. "Where is the corpse you found...?" Song Yongyan seemed a little timid for a moment, but Song Yongyan forced himself to walk towards the place where the corpse was placed. Xiao Hezi brought Song Yongyan to a corpse covered with white cloth. Xiao Hezi lifted up the white cloth. Song Yongyan saw a completely burnt corpse and could not identify who it was. "How did you determine..." "His Royal Highness Prince An has sent a police officer from the Yamen who is proficient in autopsy to come to the scene. Of course, the officer is afraid to do it, but they visually determined that the corpse is that of a young female, probably in her twenties, and an experienced officer said that he can tell that it is a woman who has given birth to children." "Does this confirm that she is Concubine Zeng? Is there no qualified maid in Donglin Garden?" Song Yongyan still didn't want to believe it, so he asked sharply. "The key is that they found this on the corpse." Xiaohezi said sadly, pointing to an object on the body's waist. It was a jade pendant. Song Yongyan reached out to take it off and took it into his hand. He found that it was the jade pendant left by his deceased mother, Concubine Xu. Both she and Yongyuan had a piece. This piece of his was given to Zeng Xianruo, who was about to give birth at that time, hoping that her mother would bless Zeng Xianruo to give birth smoothly. Zeng Qianruo has always tied it around her waist for these years and never leaves her body. Song Yongyan felt that his heart was suddenly clenched and he couldn't breathe. "Oh, hurry up and help the emperor." Wang Gonggong saw Song Yongyan crumbling and quickly stepped forward to help the emperor. ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Although Song Yongyan later did not believe in evil and asked Wu Zuo to examine the body, he still came to the conclusion: This was the body of a woman in her twenties. It could be seen from the pelvis that she had given birth to a child, and it had been two or three years. The recovery revealed her birth The height was probably more than seven feet (about 1.6 Meters in modern times). These characteristics matched those of Zeng Yunruo during his lifetime. Coupled with the jade pendant on the body, everyone was convinced that Concubine Zeng probably really died in this rebellion! Next article: Breaking Luo Yi Chapter 40 Zeng Xianruo struggled to open her eyes, her eyes were shaking for a while, and she was able to focus slowly, "Where am I?" Zeng Xianruo murmured. "Xianruo, are you awake?" A clear male voice came to my ears, and the voice seemed very familiar. "Yanru? Why are you? Why are you here?" Zeng Yunruo shouted in surprise when she saw Su Yanru sitting beside her bed and reaching out to hold her back. "Could it be that the soldiers who escaped from the west with us were the ones you arranged?" "Xian Ruo, you are still so smart. Yes, since you arrived at Donglin Garden, Liu Xiong (the guard who knocked you out) reported the news to me. I have been waiting for the opportunity, and finally I seized this opportunity. Xian Ruo, in the past thirty years, the only thing I, Su Yanru, have regretted is that I did it for my so-called political ambitions. I didn't take you out of the palace in time. When I heard that you were about to be beaten to death by the women in the harem, I didn't know how to write the word regret. Later, you were forced into the harem, which made me feel heartbroken. Now I finally have the opportunity to ask you again, do you still want to leave the palace?" Su Yanru looked at Zeng Xianruo steadily and asked solemnly every word. "Get out of the palace? How long have you not thought about these two words? Since entering the harem, I have forgotten or deliberately forgotten these two words, but ask yourself, am I willing to stay in the palace for the rest of my life? No, I am not willing. Even if there is all kinds of love from the emperor Song Yongyan, the emperor and The love of a concubine is inherently unequal, and he can only passively accept it without any right to refuse. In addition, the life in the harem is inherently turbulent. Even after staying there for so many years, he can only be regarded as enduring it, and cannot be said to like or accept it. The car on the way back to Yinchuan peace talks The misfortune, the frame-up during childbirth, the rebellion of King Bohai, the poisoned wine at the palace banquet, and the rebellion of King Shou, the closer we get to the power, the more we fight for it. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. As long as I am in the palace, intrigues are inevitable. Maybe one day I will become the kind of person who is greedy for self-protection. These are never what I want. I just want to live a plain and simple life with the one I love." Scenes of the past appeared in Zeng Xianruo's mind. It seemed like a long time and it seemed like only a moment. Zeng Xianruo asked softly: "How is Ning'er?" "The Third Prince has been safely escorted back to the palace by His Highness Prince An." "Then there is no more Zeng Xianruo in this world. She has died in this rebellion. From now on, my name is Shen Shaoguang." Zeng Xianruo said softly but firmly. At the same time, he took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Su Yanru. Su Yanru knew that this was the jade pendant that Concubine Xu left for the Song Yongyan brothers. "Shen Shaoguang" was my name in my previous life. I was born in the peak of spring, so my father, who was a professor at the liberal arts college, gave me this name. Over the years, I fell into this strange time and space, and kept calling Zeng Qianruo's name. After so long, I did not forget my modern name. "Okay, I will arrange everything." ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ King Shou's rebellion came and went as quickly as it came. Early in the morning, the common people in the capital heard that there seemed to be no movement outside. Those who were brave quietly opened the back door and took a look. They found that the streets could no longer see the rebels crossing the border. Although only the south gate could enter and exit the capital, and detailed questioning was required, order had been restored in other places. After cleaning the palace gate all night, it was no longer possible to see the tragic situation last night, but the traces of blood remaining on the ground seemed to indicate the cruelty of last night. One day after the suspension of the court, Song Yongyan went to the court to manage the government normally. After more than a month, the court ministers saw the emperor again. The emperor seemed much haggard, with grief and anger in his expression. The first thing he did in court was to deal with the rebellion of King Shou. King Shou was deposed as a commoner and imprisoned for life. The wives, concubines and children of King Shou were executed. As the chief culprits of the rebellion, the Gao family ransacked and exterminated the entire family. Yan in the harem The concubine was deposed and sentenced to death for a commoner. Even the noble concubine and the eldest princess Yayi were implicated. The noble concubine and the eldest princess Yayi were sent to the late emperor's mausoleum to keep vigil. All other people involved were executed. This rebellion was another major reshuffle of the court structure. Through this reshuffle, Song Yongyan completely took control of the court situation. From then on, the government orders were smooth, and no one dared to disobey them secretly. In the tenth year of Baofeng, after the rebellious ministers and traitors were punished, the emperor issued another imperial edict to proclaim the concubine Zeng Jinruo who died in the rebellion as the queen. The body was temporarily stored in the royal temple Huguo Temple, and was buried in the imperial mausoleum together with the emperor after his death a hundred years later. After the edict was issued, there was a letter from the imperial censor: Concubine Zeng was from a humble background and was not suitable to be established as a queen. Song Yongyan said nothing else and directly dismissed the censor: Since you think the queen is not qualified, you should not become this minister. Her attitude was so firm that she refused to accept any rebuttal, so all the ministers knew that this was the emperor's rebellion, so they did not dare to object. Concubine Zeng gave her the posthumous title of Queen Huimin and went to the royal ancestral hall to be worshiped by future generations. At the end of the Yongyan dynasty of the Song Dynasty, there was no queen after that. A hundred years after Song Yongyan returned to the world, he was buried in Qianling together with Queen Huimin. Queen Huimin was born in a merchant's family. She was selected as a female official in the palace because of her talent and learning. Later, she was favored by the emperor and made her a noble concubine. She was favored by the emperor. After six or seven years in the harem, she gave birth to an heir, and her son later ascended to the throne of the emperor. This was a legendary figure in the harem of the Wei Dynasty. In the legendary novels of later generations, some people wrote articles praising the deep friendship between the emperor and the empress. There were many girls who envied Empress Huimin. Because the third prince lost his mother when he was young, the emperor placed him near the palace and personally raised his son. When Song Shengning grew up, he had always been close to his father. Even after he was made the prince, he had always had a close relationship with his father. This was extremely rare in the entire royal family. Song Yongyan reigned for more than 30 years, and was later posthumously named Emperor Xiaowen of the Wei Dynasty. During the Xiaowen dynasty, he carried out drastic reforms in the military system, officialdom, and tax laws of the dynasty. At the same time, he vigorously attacked the power of wealthy families and vigorously promoted poor students. Vigorously building water conservancy and paying attention to farming and mulberry farming, the society suddenly showed a prosperous scene. In addition, the successor Emperor Xiaocheng inherited the legacy of the previous emperor and continued to forge ahead. The sixty years of the Wei Dynasty were called the "Wencheng Dynasty" in later history books. Extra three My name is Goudan, but since I was renamed "Zhao Mengwen" by my husband after I went to the village school, I don't like my friends to call me Goudan anymore. After all, the village chief said that Mr. Su is the most knowledgeable person in our entire village and even the entire town. I heard from the village chief's grandpa that since Mr. Su brought his wife to settle in our Taohua Village, our Taohua Village also has its own village school. Taohua Village is located in the south of the Yangtze River. It has an advantageous geographical location. To the north is the Yongji Canal, which leads directly to the capital city of Muyang. To the south is the Linjiang River to Lake Guangxiaoxiang. To the west is direct access to Shu. It is a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle. The climate is mild and the weather is smooth. It is a very suitable place to live. Mr. Su is the most handsome man he has ever seen. When Zhao Mengwen was not doing his homework seriously, Mr. Su glanced over at him. Child Zhao felt that his legs were weak, which was even more frightening than being beaten and scolded by his father. But when his homework was appreciated by his teacher, and his teacher smiled slightly, it made little boy Zhao feel as if all the spring flowers were blooming. Later, when he became a little more knowledgeable, he realized that he should describe Mr. Su as "there is a gentleman who is like discussing with each other, like polishing", "a humble gentleman, as gentle as jade". Taohua, the daughter of the village chief, has always claimed to be the beauty of Taohua Village. She has always been very self-respecting and looks down on the young men in the village. She has said that she needs a talented man to be worthy of her. However, she has never forgotten it since she met Mr. Su at the gate of the village school. I heard that she even begged her mother to find a matchmaker to propose marriage to Mr. Su. Unfortunately, What is surprising is that Mr. Su already has a wife. Later, little friend Zhao studied hard and strived to be the best. Finally, during the festival, he was invited by his husband to spend the holidays with his family. Especially when Mrs. Su smiles brightly, the moon in the sky loses its luster. Child Zhao thinks that Mr. Su and his wife are really "talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven". With such a fairy-like lady, the peach blossoms in Peach Blossom Village certainly belong to the toads who want to eat the swan meat, haha. One time, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, while playing hide-and-seek with his friends, little friend Zhao came to the back garden of his husband's house. Hearing a burst of melodious music, he suddenly became curious, so he climbed up the big tree next to him. Later, Mr. Su had a son and a daughter. Their children grew up slowly. His son Su Manqing later passed the examination and became the first scholar in Taohua Village. His daughter also married out of town. Only Mr. Su and his wife stayed in Taohua. In Huacun, the peach blossoms bloomed. Mr. Su and Mrs. Su enjoyed the peach blossoms together for another year. The peach blossoms faded and they produced small peaches. Every year the spring breeze passed, they grew from black hair to white hair, and were finally buried together in the grave, "a pair for life." ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ In the twelfth year of Jingde, Emperor Xiaowen officially appointed the third prince, Song Shengning, as the crown prince. Later generations honored him as Emperor Xiaocheng. In the Qingning Hall, Song Yongyan left the banquet early on the grounds of being drunk, leaving the banquet for the prince to entertain the ministers. While Song Yongyan was thinking quietly while holding tea, his son's voice suddenly came from the door: "Please allow me to come in and serve you." "Come in, didn't I ask you to stay and entertain the ministers? Why did you sneak away first?" "I asked the Fifth Emperor's Uncle and Donggong Xi Ma to entertain my son. I saw that my father seemed a little unwell tonight, so he came back early." After saying that, Song Shengning came to his father and massaged his temples first, then his cervical spine, waist and other parts. "Practice makes perfect now, and the massage is even better than Jingzhong's." "The old slave is old and his hands are no longer strong. How can he compare with the prince?" "My father-in-law, this massage technique was taught by Eunuch Jingzhong, haha, but I seem to remember that my mother often massaged you when I was a child..." Perhaps because he was too happy tonight, Song Shengning took out his mother without checking, and the scene suddenly became cold. "It doesn't matter, after so many years, I should learn to let it go. Your mother used to massage my father a lot. Of course, she also had to nag: the body is the capital of everything, you can't sacrifice your body to work on state affairs, you can't criticize things too late, you can't... I used to think she was nagging, but now no one nags in front of me..." Song Yongyan said lightly. "Brother Huang seems to be enjoying himself quite a bit, leaving me alone at the banquet." Another uninvited guest came, Prince An Song Yongyuan. "Uncle Five Emperors are here too." "You brat, you're here to avoid being lazy. You go out to entertain the officials first, leaving me to chat with your father." Song Yongyan scolded with a smile. Song Shengning glanced at his father and noticed that he nodded slightly, so he left with a smile. "Brother Imperial, are you in good health? I saw that you left the show earlier tonight. Is it because the wind attack you suffered some time ago has not been completely healed?" "Don't worry, Feng Ji is much better. But seeing Ning'er grow up, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart." Song Yongyan took a sip of tea and put down the cup. "Just now we talked about Ning'er's mother. Although in the eyes of the world, the palace is magnificent and represents supreme glory; but I know that Qianruo has never liked this palace very much. We met by chance in the Qinglin Pavilion, and I recruited her into the palace out of curiosity. As a result, when you were chatting in the corridor that time, I heard that Qianruo disliked the palace, especially the harem. I was a little angry at the time, but as time went by, I became more and more aware of it. The more I was attracted to her, but no matter how much I expressed it, Yuan Ruo ignored me. Later, I had no choice but to use my power to keep her by my side, which was equivalent to putting her on the fire. Later, it finally aroused the jealousy of the women in the harem. They almost beat Yunruo to death. I really regretted it and was really afraid of losing him again, so I ordered her to be forcibly married and brought into the harem as a concubine. But she was too stubborn. For two years, Yunruo didn't talk to me very much. She always called herself a slave. Maid, no matter what I do, I can't get her favor. I was so angry that I almost gave up. But for some reason, she turned around and smiled sweetly at me. Only then did I realize that I have always liked her. As long as she is willing to smile at me, no matter what. I was willing to do whatever it took. Later, with Ning'er, we became like the most ordinary couple in the world. The wife cared about her husband's daily life and nagged him to take care of his health. But there was no real peace in the harem, where the courtiers and the concubines We always have to fight for power, for ourselves and our family. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. There are plots and rebellions one after another. Yuruo finally died in the struggle for power. Although I have the world, I finally lost her forever. Sometimes I always wonder if it would have been better for both parties if I had suppressed my curiosity and not summoned her into the palace..." Maybe it was because the night was so charming tonight that it made people want to express their thoughts, so Song Yongyan vomited out the words that had been buried in his heart for more than ten years. "Brother Emperor, please don't say that. I think Qian Ruo has always known Brother Emperor's thoughts. Besides, you two have such a lovely child like Ning'er. Everything is not in vain..." "Yes, you are right. At least besides the memory, Yanruo also left me with Ning'er... I know Yanru has always liked Qianruo, maybe if I had let go earlier..." "Brother Emperor, I heard that Yanru is living in seclusion in a beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River and is working as a teacher for children. He has not wasted all his talents and learning..." "That's good, that's good, then I can feel at ease..." The voice became lower and lower, and Song Yongyan seemed to be falling asleep behind him. Song Yongyuan quickly pulled the blanket over him and quietly retreated. Extra 4 My name is Xiaohezi, and our family is a sharecropper family in Shandong Province. Unfortunately, my parents are very fertile and gave birth to five sons. I am the youngest. My parents scratched their heads in worry because our family was so poor and they had so many sons. Not only would they not have enough to eat, but no one would be willing to marry a daughter to our family. When I was ten years old, my hometown suffered a disaster. After the disaster, my parents really couldn't raise so many children. When the eunuch from the palace came to select the young attendants to join the palace, my parents were so cruel that they sold me, firstly because I was of the right age, and secondly because I was thin and weak when I was young and couldn't do much work in the countryside, so they exchanged me for a few taels of silver to give the whole family a way to live. In this way, I was stabbed and entered the palace. After being trained, I was assigned to the Shang Bed Bureau. I started with small things. After a few years, I gradually worked my way up and was managed by a father-in-law named Jiao. Mr. Jiao always liked petty thieves and wanted to take advantage of everything. I really couldn't stand the way he behaved. As a result, he once happened to steal a silver candlestick. Because he didn't want to join in with him, he was looking for an opportunity to retaliate. As a result, he was injured several times in his feet and heart, and he lay on the ground in pain and couldn't straighten up. At that time Then I met Zeng Xianruo - she was still a talented person in the imperial court at that time. Zeng Xianruo and the maid Qiao Bier helped me back to Youhuang Pavilion, applied medicine and mended my clothes. I have never felt such kindness from others since I entered the palace. People in the palace are always intrigues and plots, and true kindness is indeed extremely rare. Not only did Zhongcai save me, but she also helped me get justice through His Royal Highness Prince An, and drove Eunuch Jiao out of the palace with a fifty-fifty stick. However, I took the blame for Eunuch Jiao. Everyone in the Shang Dynasty said that I had become a noble person, and they were all polite to me from then on. I am a clumsy person and I really don't know how to express my gratitude, so I had to plant flowers and plants in the yard where the Zhongcai people lived to make it look more lively. When she saw it, she smiled and said thank you to me and let me go. None of the concubines or maids in the palace looked down on eunuchs, but I felt that if Zeng Xian had not been like this, she would not have treated me specially, as if I was just a normal male servant, with neither contempt nor sympathy. This attitude made me feel much more at ease. She also did not let me call her a talented person, so I called her "Miss" like Bi'er. Later I discovered that the emperor seemed to like the young lady very much. He not only came to see her alone, but also came to Youhuang Pavilion on the night of a major festival like New Year's Day and waited for her for an hour. Although in this harem, both the concubines and the maids hope to get the favor, I feel that the young lady does not like the emperor. Although I heard others say that the young lady is the most talented woman in the country, and can compose, play the piano and sing, and is very beautiful. It is not surprising to get the holy favor under such conditions, but for some reason I feel that the young lady is different from these women in the harem. She does not want to get any holy favor, and she is very resistant. Later, the young lady was promoted to a maid and served the emperor personally. She spent most of the time with the emperor except sleeping. This position seemed extremely honorable to outsiders, but I knew that she was walking on thin ice. In addition to the emperor himself, she also had the jealousy of many concubines in the harem. Although I was worried about her, I was so soft-spoken that I couldn't do anything for her. Finally, after the emperor left the palace that day, the queen sent someone to announce her to the Yi Palace. I immediately felt that something was wrong, so I quickly used my favors and money to spread the news outside the palace. But I could only wait anxiously outside the Youhuang Pavilion, hoping that the emperor could rescue her and Bi'er quickly. Finally, I saw the emperor carrying the young lady back. There was a conspicuous slap mark on her face, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth. She was already dying. Bi'er was said to have died before she returned to Youhuang Pavilion. I saw the murderous anger on the emperor's face, and I was so frightened that I quickly stepped back. It took more than ten days for the young lady to finally wake up. I have been serving you in Youhuang Pavilion these days because the emperor issued an edict asking me to serve young lady in the future. I feel that young lady seems to be a changed person after she wakes up. From being lively and lively in the past, her eyebrows are full of sadness. And the emperor seems to no longer worry about anything, and he often comes to Youhuang Pavilion. The imperial concubine came to visit her, but the young lady only treated him humbly and respectfully, which seemed very awkward. Later, the emperor decreed that the young lady be concubine, which made the palace in the former dynasty boil. Firstly, the young lady did not have a noble family background; secondly, she did not give birth to any heirs. It was unique in the entire Wei Dynasty to confer the title of concubine from the beginning. Later I found out why the young lady was so resistant to the emperor. In addition to not liking the palace, it was also because the young lady already had someone else in her heart, and that person was the right minister. The night before the young lady entered the harem, I took her to visit the right minister at night. I don't know if they went to break up and say goodbye or... Although I know it is a capital crime! After the young lady entered the harem, she received great favor from the emperor. Not only did she spend the most time sleeping there, but the emperor also slowly handed over the power of the harem to the young lady. Everyone in the harem thought that the young lady was the most favored concubine. But I know that the young lady has never been happy. She has always been in front of the emperor. She claims to be a slave, but she doesn't talk to the emperor very much, and she treats the emperor very coldly and indifferently. In private, she smokes herbs every time she goes to bed and bathes with potions afterwards. I know that these are to prevent the emperor from getting pregnant. I help her do these things, although I know that this is also a capital crime! Two years have almost passed, and I thought it would always be like this. Unexpectedly, the young lady suddenly seemed to have figured out that the emperor and his concubines could also talk about poetry, play the flute and compose poems under the apricot tree, how like a pair of beautiful people. After that, the relationship between the emperor and the young lady seemed to be much more normal, like an ordinary secular couple. Later, they had a child - the third prince Song Shengning. I thought that the young lady would be happy like a secular woman from now on. However, a lot of things accumulated in the harem and before the harem, and the young lady "died" several times due to conspiracy and calculation. The last time everyone thought she "died" during the Shou King's rebellion in Baofeng's tenth year. I am the only one who knows that the corpse is not "her" - although the body is almost carbonized, the limbs are not burned, and there is no faint scar on the thumb of the corpse - it was left when the young lady was supporting the playful third prince about to fall two days ago. At that time, she said it didn't matter, just apply potion. Only himself and Cai Lu, who were serving closely, knew (Cai Lu died in this rebellion and hit his head on a stone while escaping), but he did not point it out, but defaulted to the corpse as "Concubine Zeng", and a year later the right minister also passed away. He wrote to the emperor to resign his official position, saying that he wanted to live a secluded life in the countryside. I hope that the young lady can escape from this palace and that the right minister and I can live a free life that the young lady has always wished for, and I am sure that they can do it. As for me, I naturally took good care of the third prince as he grew up in the palace. Fortunately, the emperor always cared for the third prince. He took care of him personally and blocked many open and secret attacks for the third prince. When he grew up, he also carefully cultivated him, so that the third prince could successfully inherit the throne. As for the emperor himself, since Queen Huimin left, he seemed to have lost his passion for women and had not set foot in the harem for more than a year. Later, the ministers advised the emperor to put the royal heirs first. The emperor only occasionally stepped into the harem later, but no woman could enter the emperor's heart like Queen Huimin. In the end, the emperor only had five princes and three princesses, and heirs were rare among the emperors of the Wei Dynasty. Moreover, just after turning forty, he will have beautiful hair early, and just after turning fifty, Long Yu will pass away. History books say that Emperor Xiaowen was at the forefront among the Wei Dynasty emperors in terms of both martial arts and martial arts, but I know that he was just a man who "cannot love, and will never lose my love."
