five years in the palace

Tianren ten years.

Benkyo Yongyong Palace.

"Your Majesty, we are happy with the imperial concubine!" Xing Hong rushed into the inner hall and said loudly.

"Xinghong! Are there any rules?" Madam Xu, who was serving the meal for Concubine Chun, scolded with a frown.

"Nurse, we are all on our own, so don't lock her up. You have to be cautious everywhere in this palace, and it's okay to relax when you get to your own place." Concubine Chun said with a smile on her face, and spoke softly for the maid of honor.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Xinghong said happily, grateful in her heart, her concubine is definitely the kindest concubine, she never criticizes her servants harshly, outsiders envy their servants of Yongrong Palace.

Madam Xu shook her head helplessly, and then said in a sad low voice: "If the concubine and the imperial concubine have a boy, then you..." She was really sad for her mother, since she sent the second prince away, the empress There is no more pregnancy.Now the post has been vacant, and there is no such thing as a son-in-law, so the influence of the mother clan of the concubines plays a big role.There were only two noble concubines, the second prince of the pure noble concubine disappeared, and now she and the noble concubine finally had a second child, if it was a male, life would be difficult here...

Pure imperial concubine - Wang Pingting put down the bowl in her hand unhurriedly, took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth, said with a smile: "Even if she gave birth to a son, so what? I don't have any children, so I have no worries with her." .”

But I can't stand you being favored!Xinghong and Nanny Xu shouted in their hearts at the same time.Although he has no heirs, his mother's degree of favor is unmatched by anyone in the palace. His Majesty can spend half of a month here, and it has not changed for so many years.Therefore, even though they knew that she would have no chance of becoming the crown prince, other women still regarded her as a thorn in their side.

All these years in the palace, Pingting has already become a fine person, and she can tell what the two of them are thinking at a glance.She laughed at herself inwardly, but she still said gracefully and indifferently on her face: "He Guifei is not that stupid. What she should guard against now are other women with sons in the palace. How can she have time to pay attention to me? A hen that can't lay eggs will eventually die." Can't turn into a phoenix."

"Your Majesty!" The two were startled and shouted on their knees in panic.

Pingting glanced at them and said, "Come on, this is a well-known thing, and you all know that I did it myself, so you don't care about it for a long time." Her tone was indifferent, but the palm of her sleeve was quietly moving. squeeze tightly.Yes, it was she who drank the sterilizing pill that she prepared herself, it was her own choice, she shouldn't be sad, let alone regret it.

She is a woman, how could she not want to have her own child?But what choice does she have?From the moment the emperor confessed to her.

I still remember that day, His Majesty came to her palace with a gloomy expression, ordered people to guard the outside tightly, took a lot of wine and sat in front of her without saying a word.At that time, she was more shocked than panic. She didn't know what could make such a man lose his composure to such an extent.

One sat anxiously, the other just buried himself in drinking.

Later, the man was naturally drunk, and then he began to speak vaguely: "Why? I'm so stupid, why chase after me? I can't get it when I come, no matter how painful my heart is, he doesn't care anymore, he doesn't care anymore... "Mumbling to himself over and over again, the voice became smaller and smaller, until she thought he was completely drunk, but suddenly raised her eyes to look at Pingting.

Pingting was startled by him, thinking he had woken up, but seeing his pupils were out of focus, she realized that he was indeed very drunk.However, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, her arm was suddenly grabbed.

"Do you know what he said? He said he wanted me to die... For someone else, he wanted me to die, but that person was not my fault! I thought... I thought he would at least be reluctant to let me die, at least he would !!" With the change of person, his voice suddenly became hoarse, and the sadness and despair contained in it made her feel unbearable.

Her body stiffened and she didn't dare to move, Pingting stared at him blankly.At first she thought he would cry, but he didn't, even though he was drunk and outspoken, he never cried.But Pingting suddenly understood that this was a pain that was too painful to cry.Later, the emperor babbled on and on, but Pingting didn't have the anxiety she had before, she just acted like a concubine, picked him up and took him to the bed, scrubbed him briefly, and coaxed him to sleep. .

Then, he stayed up all night.

Pingting knew that she might be dying soon.As a concubine, she would actually see the sincerity and weakness of an emperor, not to mention his embarrassment, which is absolutely not allowed.She couldn't help guessing, did this person know that she had understood his thoughts about Ren Ren, so he came to her to say this?Or maybe he just wants to find someone who also has a crush on Ren Ren and talk about his love.

But no matter what, she thought it was her last night.

However, unexpectedly, the next day, he got up, went to court, and dealt with political affairs in the same way as if nothing had happened... It seemed that he was not the one who lost his temper the first night, and it seemed that she didn't know anything at all.

Not knowing what the emperor was thinking, Pingting lived more cautiously.Except for the daily greetings, she basically stayed at home, did not compete for favor, and did not cause trouble, but she gradually faded out of the sight of the women in the harem—until she became pregnant.

She knows medical skills, so she naturally knows her own situation before the imperial physician.She wants her children to be happy and happy, and she doesn't want them to fight each other in this cage, and their minds are twisted. She really hopes that her children can live a healthy life.During the few months of pregnancy, the women in the harem came up with endless tricks. If it wasn't for her knowledge of medicine and the emperor's protection, her child would have died countless times.She was looking forward to and worried about this child, but at this time, the emperor actually said that she could send her child out to the Sacred Valley of Medicine.

Wang Pingting was shocked at first, and then ecstatic.She didn't care that the child would lose her royal status, or leave her forever, which seemed insignificant compared to the child's life and happiness.So the child was picked up by Ren Ren, she and him always had a tacit understanding, just a few words when they met, he understood her intention, stunned her, and the second prince disappeared from sight.

Five years have passed, and the baby should grow up too.Putting her chin on her jade hand, Pingting smiled and imagined his appearance.

I don't know how long it took until she felt her arms a little sore and numb. Pingting came back to her senses, looked at the sky, and said, "It's time to settle down." The study room will not come.

Royal study.

The faint fragrance of dragon sandalwood is echoed only by the sound of flipping paper.There were obviously three people in the room, but they could hardly hear their breathing, and the silence was so quiet that it was a little frightening.

Xiao Tianhong was dressed in normal clothes, holding a book of choruses and watched carefully. From time to time, the corners of his mouth would rise slightly, and sometimes he would frown in displeasure, but no matter what his expression was, his mood was definitely the best day in the whole month.The leader of the secret guard who knew this well took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, regarding Sun Jingchi..."

Xiao Tianhong raised his head, a little unhappy to be interrupted, but then he remembered who the person mentioned by his subordinates was.Since Ren Ren left a few years ago, he has established an intelligence network across the country, no matter where Ren Ren goes, he can receive relevant information.He knew that he left the Sacred Valley of Medicine, that he was traveling in China with others... and then he knew what happened in a remote town.

Since they have been paying attention to Ren Ren's news, Xiao Tianhong's subordinates are not idiots, so they are naturally aware of the emperor's unusual attitude towards this person.So when an eyeliner in charge of that mountain area received the news that there was a matchmaker proposing marriage to Ren Ren, he immediately realized that His Majesty would be furious.So pretending to be clever, he laid a poisonous hand on that Miss Sun's family.In the end, it was self-defeating and made things worse.

When this matter reached Xiao Tianhong's ears, he was naturally furious.He has been letting his subordinates control the pharmacy to buy Ren Ren's medicinal materials at high prices quietly, and has been helping him to block some embarrassments from the government, but he did not expect that his subordinates would make trouble instead.Fortunately, Ren Ren and Lin Zesheng were annoyed by Sun's family and did not continue to investigate the poisoning. Otherwise, he could have imagined that once Ren Ren found out what he did, he might leave Huaguo immediately.At that time, no matter how capable he is, he may completely lose the news of Ren Ren.

But no matter what, the Sun family who has no eyesight will naturally not let it go. Dominating one side for decades, the Sun family will inevitably have dirty things.For a secret decree, the local county magistrate will of course do his best, and the Sun family's destruction will only happen overnight.And Sun Jingchi was the only one who escaped from the Sun family who was an official in Beijing.

When Sun Jingchi found out, everything had already been settled.He originally planned to run for his own family, but when he vaguely felt that this seemed to be the meaning of the above, he immediately confessed his guilt decisively, but he picked himself up completely in the open and in the dark, as if he had no friendship with the Sun family.

Such a cold-hearted person made Xiao Tianhong care about him.

"What? Didn't his mission go well?" Xiao Tianhong asked.

"No, it went too smoothly..." The leader of the dark guard hurriedly said, feeling a little chilled at the mention of this matter in his heart, the method of killing was clean and neat, if he didn't mention it, who would have thought that this was a powerless civil servant?What's more, it didn't kill one or two people!To be so cold-blooded and ruthless without the special training of the hidden guards...

"That's very good, that's what I want." Xiao Tianhong caressed the secret note in his hand, as if he could touch people thousands of miles away: how can I have the heart to let you do such a thing? ?Look, find someone to replace you, let him do all the bad things, and go to hell for you, okay?

But this knife can't reassure him after all, it needs to be strictly monitored, he doesn't want to cultivate a double-edged sword.

"Sun Jingchi did a good job this time. Prince Zhongyi's family was killed by thieves on his way back to Beijing, and the palace in the capital will be useless. I will reward him in a few days." Xiao Tianhong nodded in satisfaction. Those who were conferred by the late emperor were conferred the title of Duke of Succession for their meritorious service in saving Jia, and were rewarded with a large piece of fiefdom. Although it is far away from Bianjing, it is indeed a piece of fertile land.Xiao Tianhong wanted to take back that land a long time ago, and since King Zhongyi really had evil intentions, he naturally acted preemptively.

Now that the largest cancerous tumor in the country has been removed, what else will he do?

Xiao Tianhong was suddenly a little confused.Five years ago, Ren Ren completely broke with him, he was sad and desperate, but it was only a matter of a few days.As the emperor of a country, he cannot be swayed by emotions, he still has his duties.His rebirth took Ren Ren as an opportunity, but it was not the only purpose.He can't get Ren Ren, but he still wants to create a prosperous world that has never been seen before, he wants his country to dominate the mainland, and he wants his people to live and work in peace and contentment.

So he restrained all his thoughts, and in the name of investigating Ren Ren's news, he quickly developed an intelligence network that spread all over the country.During the period, there were not no voices of opposition, but under his insistence, Huaguo's news network was still complete like never before.He really cared about Ren Ren and wanted to know about him, but he never reached the point where he wanted to mobilize people like this.That time leaving Beijing to go to the Sacred Valley of Medicine was already the limit of what he could do, and it was also the last time.

Xiao Tianhong didn't mind ordering his subordinates to investigate Ren Ren's news again and again, and to create an image of a deeply affectionate and unrepentant emperor.In doing so, he can exercise his subordinates' intelligence ability, after all, Ren Ren always drills into remote places; secondly, he can use this weakness to test everyone's minds.

Sure enough, there are those who pretend to be smart to please, and those who overestimate their capabilities.

But it wasn't until then that he realized how wrong he was.The identity of the person who attacked Ren Ren was not low, and he even deceived him at first, and mobilized a small group of troops, but Ren Ren wiped out nearly a thousand people without any effort.That was a complete obliteration. When Xiao Tianhong heard the news, the army of nearly a thousand people had completely disappeared. There were no traces, bloodstains, or corpses.

Only a well-hidden eyeliner witnessed some from a distance: their bodies writhed in pain at first, and then suddenly disappeared as if being eaten by something invisible.

Others may think this is absurd, but Xiao Tianhong, who already has a few Emperor Gu Mother Gu, knows that it is Gu, and only Gu can do it.He suddenly remembered a sentence that Sun Taiyi left when he gave him these female Gu: "Everything has its source, Your Majesty."

Only then did he understand the meaning of this sentence, Gu is no exception, it also has its source.He finally knew that this old doctor who had to serve as an imperial doctor in the palace for many years because he owed him a favor from the Hua Kingdom's royal family, and finally gave up the emperor's Gu mother Gu and traveled lightly, in the end also saved a hand.

So Xiao Tianhong suddenly felt that he was so funny.

After all, what he has calculated is not his. All he can achieve is the lord of a country.It seems that there is no need to expand the territory, kill and fight, and Xiao Tianhong's ambition suddenly shrinks.After eradicating Beimo and water bandits, there are no countries around that can threaten Hua, and then they settle down and concentrate on internal affairs.

Xiao Tianhong understands that the source of ten thousand Gu will be kept by the medical saint, and it doesn't feel good to know that everyone's life, including his own, is in the hands of others.If it was Lin Zesheng, although Xiao Tianhong would be angry and frustrated, he could feel a little more at ease, because he was a person from the Sacred Valley of Medicine through and through, and would never interfere in the secular world.That's why when he brought Ren Ren to the palace, Lin Zesheng didn't take any direct action.But now the position of the Valley Master of the Sacred Medicine Valley has been passed on to Ren Ren...

He suddenly understood what was on the mind of that gentle-looking Doctor Lin. To pass on the medical sage in front of him was to see his fears.He knows Ren Ren, as Ren Ren knows him.It's urgent, Ren Ren is a person who doesn't care, and the rules of not being able to interfere in the secular world will not be taken seriously by him-at worst, everyone will be wiped out.What's more, he loves Ren Ren, it is impossible and he has the heart to do nothing to Ren Ren, even if Ren Ren has such a sharp weapon.

So instead he wants to help Ren Ren keep this secret, and he is even more afraid of the Sacred Valley of Medicine. Lin Zesheng has a good plan.

Back then that person from Beimo should have slapped him to death, Xiao Tianhong thought bitterly more than once.

Xiao Tianhong's memory was suddenly awakened by some noisy voices outside the hall, he raised his head dissatisfied, and asked, "What's the matter, who is making noise outside?"

"To avoid, it's Concubine Jin and His Highness the Fourth Prince." The little eunuch who was guarding the door came in and replied in a low voice.

Frowning in displeasure, Xiao Tianhong was really annoyed by the intrigues of these women in the harem, including a few sons who started advocating and stepping on each other before they were ten years old.After waving his hand to let the eunuch send them away, Xiao Tianhong suddenly thought of his long-lost son——Xiao Yueren.

He unscrupulously chose an unscrupulous name for this son, because he had already decided to send him away—he hoped that his son would become a disciple of the Medical Sage, and he always wanted to win over that mysterious and powerful force, Even if you can't control it, you can't be hostile.This is Pingting's son, he knew that Ren Ren would not refuse.

But now he suddenly misses this child whom he hasn't seen in five years.Not as a tool to influence the Sacred Valley of Medicine, not as a bargaining chip to contain Wang Pingting, but purely as his son.I felt a little rejoiced for the soft-hearted decision at that time, just saying that the child was missing and not dead.

—Maybe, let this child come back in a few years.

Xiao Tianhong squinted his eyes, he didn't want to see the son standing outside the door who faked a smile when he saw him, but recalled the appearance of a little cute baby five years ago.
