Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Capital

Inside the imperial palace, in a courtyard deep in the palace, a man in a light blue corset robe was sitting in the back garden in a daze.

The back garden has a small bridge, flowing water, pavilions, and a lotus pond. This is the Tenth Prince He Li, also known as Shenyang, who is staring at the pair of mandarin ducks in the lotus pond in a daze.

The flowers in the lotus pond have not bloomed yet, but I estimate they will bloom in a month.

Shenyang recalled that when the lotus flowers were in full bloom last year, he was still at Zhang's house. He and Erya had strolled in the back garden, and their figures were left in every corner of the back garden.

Thinking back to the night before leaving, Erya said that she didn't know when we would meet again, so she wanted to give herself to me completely.

But because she didn't agree, Erya felt that she was despised for being an abandoned woman.

God knows, I almost lost control. In the end, I relied on my strong willpower to suppress the thought.

In Shenyang's heart, no matter what Erya was like in the past, in his heart, Erya is always like a blooming lotus that grows out of the mud without being stained, and he cannot bear to defile her.

I thought that he would marry Erya in a formal ceremony, in a sedan chair carried by eight people, and bring this beautiful scene into the wedding night.

Now, if I count the days, I haven’t seen Erya for nearly half a year, and I don’t know how she is doing now.

"Ah~"

Shenyang sighed.

When his father was still alive, he could travel around freely and lived a carefree life for a while.

Everything changed until my father passed away and my seventh brother ascended the throne.

In the past, he thought that his seventh brother was kind-hearted, so he wholeheartedly supported him to ascend the throne. But since his seventh brother ascended the throne, he felt that his seventh brother seemed to have changed.

He became suspicious, and many old ministers in the court were punished by him for various reasons. Some of them were even forced to retire and return home early.

Concubine Ling's power had long since collapsed, and Sixth Brother had become a lost dog, with everyone trying to avoid him.

The other royal brothers were also in name only, receiving a pitifully small monthly salary. They were angry but dared not speak out.

After all, he had made great contributions in supporting his seventh brother to become emperor, so he was still a little wary of him and gave him many rewards, but he also became distant from him. Now, the only difference between them was the monarch and his subject.

They used to talk about everything, but now, she started to speak carefully in front of him, for fear of accidentally angering him.

He began to miss his father. If his father were still alive, they would not be in the situation they are in now. He knew that it was fortunate that his seventh brother became the emperor.

If the sixth brother had become the emperor, his fate would have been even more miserable.

He didn't have any worries before, but now it's different. His heart is not here at all. His heart has already flown to Heyang County. Erya, that poor girl, lives in his heart. He wants to give her happiness.

Thinking back to when he proposed to leave shortly after his seventh brother ascended the throne, his seventh brother flatly refused before he could say it.

The reason was that he had to stay by his side and assist him. But his staying here did not help at all, because he had made great contributions to the emperor's support, and the emperor rewarded him with another palace.

At the same time, he was rewarded with several beautiful new ladies and a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, in addition to a group of maids and servants, but these ladies were rejected by Shenyang.

Shenyang told the emperor about Shen Ping saving him, and said that he would return to Heyang County to repay Shen Ping for saving his life.

Unexpectedly, the emperor asked him to stay in the capital without any worries. He also said that he would instruct someone to take care of the matter.

Shenyang didn't know why the emperor insisted on letting him stay in the capital.

It would take at least a month to get from the capital to Heyang at the normal speed. Shenyang estimated that if the emperor sent someone, it should be here soon.

Shen Yang, who was immersed in his thoughts, was suddenly interrupted by a voice: "Your Highness, the Emperor sent someone to ask you to come over."

Shenyang looked up and saw that it was Guard Zhan.

"Oh~" Shenyang raised his eyebrows. Brother Qi didn't know what was going on.

He couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking now, but Shen Yang always had an uneasy feeling in his heart, that the emperor was also on guard against him.

Guard Zhan bowed with both hands and said with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, I always feel that the emperor doesn't treat you the same as before~"

At this time, two maids came over, carrying baskets and small shovels, probably to take care of the back garden.

"You're overthinking it!"

Shenyang raised his hand and quickly interrupted Guard Zhan's words.

These two maids were given to him by the Emperor. If they heard this, it would probably cause trouble.

Now, except for the guard Zhan, all the others in this palace are new people awarded to him by the emperor. Shen Yang doesn't know whether these people are sent by the emperor to serve him or to take the opportunity to keep an eye on him.

It is better to be safe than sorry. Although I have a clear conscience, the emperor is suspicious by nature. If I am not careful, I will be digging my own grave.

Guard Zhan tilted his head slightly, knowing Shenyang's concerns, he immediately understood and shut up.

"Okay! I'll be there right now!" Shenyang said loudly.

The two maids just walked up to him. After hearing his words, they looked nervous and bowed: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Hmm~" Shenyang nodded, looking at them with burning eyes: "You guys go and get busy!"

The two maids had just arrived, and outsiders had heard that the Tenth Prince was tall and handsome, with an unruly nature, like a boy who had not grown up. Now they felt that the first half of the sentence was true, but the second half was not.

The two maids ran away very quickly as if they were escaping. The Tenth Prince gave them an indescribable sense of oppression.

Guard Zhan raised his lip corners: "My Lord, look at how scared you made them. I'm afraid you'll eat people!"

"Hmph~" Shenyang's mouth twitched. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

Thinking that the emperor was still waiting for him, Shenyang did not linger any longer and hurried towards the Taihe Palace.

The emperor was sitting in the pavilion in the imperial garden playing chess with the queen, with two palace maids and the eunuch Su Desheng standing beside them.

"Your Majesty, I won't move this chess piece." Concubine Jing said with a coquettish look on her face as she was about to pull the chess piece back.

The emperor held her hand with one hand and said unhappily: "Jing Fei, you should never regret your decision. Don't you understand this principle?"

Seeing the emperor's unhappy expression, Concubine Jing's expression changed, and she quickly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please let me go for once!"

"What a bummer! I won't play anymore!" The emperor threw the chess piece on the chessboard and said coldly, "Go back first. I want to see my tenth brother later."

"Yes~"

Unexpectedly, the emperor was actually angry. Concubine Jing bowed quickly and did not dare to breathe: "Then I will take my leave first!" She took two steps back and turned to leave. The two palace maids also bowed quickly and followed her.

The eunuch Su Desheng standing by said humbly, "Your Majesty, how about I take this chess game?" As he said this, he was about to start playing.

The emperor raised his hand and said, "Wait!"

Eunuch Desheng's hand stopped in mid-air.

"Su Desheng, you are so bold that you dare to act on your own." The emperor sneered.
