Reborn as King again
Chapter 133 Extra Story: Xia Zhiyuan's Sunshine
I looked up at the plaque on the door of the Leng Palace. It was covered with spider webs. The palace is always red and white. Maybe one day I will be framed again, so I will live in it.
"What did you bring me here for?"
The door of the Leng Palace was not fully closed, it was even opened a crack, Xia Jin looked towards the crack of the door, and said slowly: "Concubine Su is now locked in the Leng Palace."
"What?" I was taken aback, how is it possible?She is not pregnant with a dragon heir, and is favored by the emperor and the queen mother's aunt, how could she be thrown into the cold palace? !I have been confining myself in the palace for more than a month, and the news is too poor.
"Don't you know? Concubine Su had a miscarriage," Xia Jin told the facts she knew: "It is said that there will be no more children in the future."
Xia Zhisu is that cheap.She had a miscarriage, the emperor should take pity on her even more, how could she be thrown into limbo? !The queen mother and aunt actually let it go?What the hell is going on these days?I'm just surprised, what happened to Xia Zhisu has nothing to do with me, but I don't mind adding insult to injury.
"Don't you want to go in and see her down and out look?" Xia Jin turned to me and asked.
"Why did you bring me here?" I'm not familiar with Xia Jin, it can be said that I'm a stranger. What's the purpose of her doing these things?
"You should hate Concubine Su very much." Xia Jin didn't answer me, "Because you haven't even seen your mother for the last time."
"Is it related to you?" I was very afraid of Xia Jin, because she had seen me in the most helpless and hesitant state.
"Go in and have a look at her. She is doing very badly now, and the emperor has never been here. It seems that she has been forgotten." Xia Jin pulled up my sleeve and walked towards the door of the cold palace. "You saw her?" , vent out the anger in your heart, and you will be fine."
"Whether I'm okay or not is none of your business?!" I shook off Xia Jin's hand, took a few steps back, and said defensively, "Why should I go to the cold palace to meet that bitch?!"
"I don't think you've ever been calculated like this in your life, have you? It's only natural to be unconvinced." Xia Jin completely ignored my unkind tone just now, and she said, "Your mother told me that you were once a very shameless person. A carefree person only grows up in a big family and can't control many things, so he becomes ruthless. Your mother asked me to let me help you if something happened to you in the palace one day. "
"Do you know my mother?" I didn't expect that there was such a relationship between them. I wanted to ask a few more questions, but suddenly I saw a group of people walking towards the cold palace at the corner in front of me.
The pedestrians were not very ostentatious, and there was an ordinary blue sedan chair in the middle, but I had a good time after a while, and I recognized everyone I should recognize very accurately. There was a bloated figure beside the blue sedan chair. With his palace uniform, one can guess without guessing that this person is the emperor's personal eunuch, Wanfu.
Wanfu was never three steps away from the emperor, most likely the emperor himself was inside the blue sedan chair.Usually the emperor travels in the imperial chariot, accompanied by at least 30 people, but now he only brought a few people with him, and came to the cold palace in a small sedan chair. It is clear that he does not want others to know his whereabouts. I am not a fool Well, if the emperor finds out that we are at the gate of the cold palace, maybe we will be implicated in something.
Thinking of this, I grabbed Xia Jin and hid behind the stone lion statue beside the cold palace gate. Fortunately, the statue is big enough, otherwise I really don't know where to hide at this moment.
"Yuan Ronghua..." Xia Jin still didn't understand the situation, and wanted to ask. Seeing that the emperor's sedan chair was about to arrive, I dared not let her make a sound, so I immediately reached out to cover her mouth and pressed her shoulder Squat behind the stone lion so as not to be discovered.
After the sedan chair stopped at the gate of the cold palace, sure enough, the person who got out of the sedan chair was the emperor.
I have a bad premonition in my heart. I don't think the emperor came to pick up Xia Zhisu. If the emperor really dotes on her and wants to pick her up from the cold palace in person, it should be done with great fanfare, not so low-key. .
Less than a stick of incense later, my thoughts were confirmed. I saw Xia Zhisu being grabbed and dragged out of the gate of the cold palace by two muscular eunuchs. Xia Zhisu shouted like a shrew, resisting , But it didn't help, another eunuch took out a rope to tie Xia Zhisu up, and stuffed her mouth with a handkerchief.
Even if he was thrown into the cold palace, Xia Zhisu is still a concubine, and the eunuchs would not be able to act so blatantly because of his identity, unless it was the order from the emperor himself. When I thought of this, the emperor also walked out of the cold palace. He didn't say anything. What, just looking at Xia Zhisu struggling in pain, the emperor is obviously smiling, but that smile makes me shudder.
After the emperor and his entourage left, I let go of my hand and stood up.And Xia Jin was obviously frightened by the scene just now, I pulled her up, "Are you scared?"
"I..." Although Xia Jin is also a concubine in the palace, her status is the lowest one, let alone the emperor, she can't even see a higher status eunuch, how could she have encountered such a thing.
"Didn't you want to take me to see Concubine Su just now?" I didn't bother to care if she was frightened, "You should thank me for pulling you away in time just now, otherwise Concubine Su would not be the only one who was taken away. "
"How could this happen?" Xia Jin didn't understand at all, she asked me for proof: "Isn't the emperor doting on Concubine Su very much? How could he treat her like this?"
"Didn't you just say that the emperor has forgotten her." I sneered, "Let's pretend we didn't see this kind of thing, or we won't know how we died." Dust, turned and left.
Regarding what happened in the Lenggong that day, Xia Jin and I kept tight-lipped. Not long after, a plague broke out in the Lenggong and many people were infected. He was ill, and his face was so festered that people couldn't recognize him. The emperor ordered to seal off the cold palace and let the people inside wait to die.
I think the emperor doesn't like Xia Zhisu at all, or hate it. Xia Zhisu was taken out of the cold palace without a sound. No one knows where she went. It is estimated that life would be worse than death, and death from the plague would be worse. Have fun.
If it wasn't for the occasional discovery that the emperor personally attacked Xia Zhisu, I don't think I would have noticed the emperor's intentions in my life. I am afraid that the emperor would like to uproot and eradicate our Xia clan.
Look at the people the Xia family sent to the palace, from Xia Zhirou to Xia Zhisu, and Xia Jin and I, none of them ended well. The emperor did it on purpose.
Both Xia Zhirou and Xia Zhisu were once the emperor's favorite concubine, but what is a favorite concubine?If the emperor really liked them, how could he deal the hardest blow after their miscarriage, the emperor wished for them to die.
After "Xia Zhisu" died, my long-lost father outside the palace suddenly became familiar with me again. Now Xia Jin and I are the only people in the Xia family in the palace. I don't understand the form, so my father put his hope on me.He and my uncle wanted me to take the place of Xia Zhirou and Xia Zhisu.
I told them as early as after Xia Zhirou's death that the accident of the emperor's precious Concubine Wen was planned by me, and it was impossible for him to treat me.Now that I have figured out what the emperor is thinking, how could I send myself to the tiger's mouth? I don't want to be the next Xia family's victim.
I am a person who is very afraid of death, so I understand that some things cannot be explained clearly. I just told my father to resign quickly and return to his hometown. Maybe he can save his life. I was remembering the things about my mother, and thought I was a white-eyed wolf.Later, I received a letter from my father, which was a letter of severing ties. My father said that he did not have a selfish son like me.
I also wrote letters to my brothers and sisters, but what I received was a letter of severance to sever brotherhood.After I saw those letters, I still felt hopeless in my heart, just because I didn't want to help, just because I told them to give up, they were going to sever ties with me?The Xia family is powerful enough, what else do they want?Want to subvert the imperial power and become emperor yourself?I'm doing it for them.
The death of my mother, the severance of my father, and the incomprehension of my brothers and sisters, I really feel so tired and out of breath. Every day when I open my eyes, I see the scenery outside is black and white, lifeless at all.I don't know what's the point of my survival, I can only wait in the palace to die slowly.
As the days passed, I gradually lost weight, and I couldn't even get sick.The inner eunuchs wanted to invite an imperial doctor for me, but I stopped them. I thought I would just die like this, and I would die early and be reborn sooner.
Xia Jin knew about my illness, she brought an imperial doctor to treat me, and fed me medicine. Looking at the brown soup, I felt nauseous, pushed the medicine bowl to the ground, and smashed it to pieces.
"Get out!" I was seriously ill and had no strength at all, no matter how much I pushed Xia Jin, she would not be moved, "I told you to get out, you don't need to pity me, I don't want to live long ago, you still care what I do ?”
Xia Jin didn't answer my question, but just turned around and asked the inner prisoner to bring another bowl of medicine. She scooped up a spoonful of medicine with a spoon and handed it to my mouth. good."
"I said, I don't want to live anymore, can you leave me alone!" I knocked over the medicine bowl in Xia Jin's hand again, and growled like a madman, "My mother is dead, and my father wants to sever ties with me!" , Brothers and sisters also have to draw a clear line with me, what is the point of my life?! What is the purpose of my life?!"
"Yuan Ronghua..." Xia Jin didn't leave in fright because of my big change in temperament, but sat on the edge of the bed and patted my back, comforting me over and over again, "It's okay, everything is over , will be fine."
"I'm so tired, I really want to be relieved..." My voice trembled, my vision was blurred, and my head became more and more dizzy. The crying and shouting just now exhausted all the strength in my body, and I lost consciousness in a trance.
When I woke up, it was already 5 days later, and the first person I saw when I opened my eyes was still Xia Jin, she leaned against the edge of my bed and closed her eyes to rest.I didn’t eat or drink for so long, my throat was almost smoky, I tried to sit up, I wanted to call someone to pour me a glass of water, "Come... come here." I could hardly make a sound.
Xia Jin seemed to be sleeping very lightly, and I woke her up with a slight movement, and she was overjoyed to see that I was awake, "You wake up, it's fine, the imperial doctor said that as long as you wake up, there will be no serious problems. "
What she meant was that I still have to live in this cold palace for the rest of my life.
I really want to live every day in a decadent way, and let myself gradually corrode like this, but Xia Jin, that Yangzhou skinny horse from a humble background, almost died because of my illness before, she would appear in my palace almost every day, even if I asked the inner eunuchs to tell her not to see visitors, and she would sneak in quietly, just to talk to me and don't give up on myself.
Not long after I recovered from my illness, Xia Jin also slipped a letter to me, saying it was from my mother. I asked Xia Jin where she got the letter from, and Xia Jin said it was handed over by my mother before she entered the palace. For her, if one day I see that I am devastated, let me read this letter.
I took the letter from Xia Jin, let alone read it, didn't open it at all, put the letter in front of the candlelight, and burned it together with the envelope.
I can guess what my mother wants to say to me.The most is to let me relax, don't worry about it, don't worry about it, and live peacefully in the palace.Isn't that what I am now, I don't have to make calculations if I want to, and I can't die even if I want to.
"Why didn't you read that letter?" Xia Jin frowned slightly, with a slightly reproachful tone: "It contains your mother's instructions and miss for you."
I snorted coldly and said, "Why, you peeked at it?"
"No," Xia Jin quickly shook her head, "I'm just guessing." I didn't say anything, Xia Jin thought I didn't believe it, and was a little anxious. She stretched out three fingers and swore to God: "What I said is true, And...and I can't read at all."
Seeing Xia Jin's flushed face, I smiled: "I don't read that letter because it will make me sad after reading it, so it's better to burn it."
Later I learned that Xia Jin had a very hard life before entering the palace. Because her younger brother was ill, he was almost sold by his parents to be someone else's concubine. Xia Jin's parents were given a sum of money, which saved Xia Jin from death.Xia Jin was grateful for her mother's daily good deeds, and thought about how to repay her every day. No, if she repays her, she will repay it to me.
Xia Jin doesn't want me to live like a living dead. She comes to me every day and tells me what happened in the palace. I wonder why Xia Jin's mentality is so good. Her current situation is no better than mine Where to go, Baili is just waiting to die in the palace as a widow.If I remember correctly, she was summoned by the emperor once, and then she was sidelined. With the background of the Xia family, no matter how beautiful Xia Jin is, her life is over.
Xia Jin is a good woman, pure, kind, and willing to help others. Even the eunuchs in my palace are full of praise for her, saying that Jincai is beautiful and has a good heart. Yes, someday, but that day will never come.
As time passed day by day, Xia Jin never stopped coming to chat with me, always telling me gossip about the palace.
"A Yuan, did you know that the emperor is going to start selecting a new show girl."
"..." Ah Yuan, it was Xia Jin who insisted on calling me that way, saying that it was kind, even though there was a difference in status, I didn't bother to be serious.
"You didn't respond? Many concubines in the palace hate it."
"Ah Yuan, it is said that Concubine Wen forced Liu Xiaozhu to jump into the lake, and this matter has been brought to the emperor."
"..." That little master Liu was out of his mind, and he didn't inquire about Concubine Wen's position in the emperor's heart before making troubles. No, Xia Jin said a few days later: "That little master Liu offended the queen mother for some reason, and lost dancing in front of the palace." Opportunity."
"Ah Yuan, did you know that the emperor is going to establish a queen."
"..." This is a matter of time, the emperor's crown prince will be established, and Concubine Wan will be established sooner or later, but Xia Jin said in the next sentence: "The candidate for the empress is actually an unknown newcomer."
"What did you say? A newcomer?" I was stunned, how could the emperor appoint someone who is not Concubine Wan as the empress? !
Usually when Xia Jin came to me, she would tell me about herself, and I never answered. Xia Jin was a little flattered when I asked her this question, and quickly told her everything she knew, "Enen, it seems that Jiang Linxu Adult, his father is a fifth-rank eunuch. It is said that the emperor fell in love with him at second sight, and even entrusted him to raise the prince."
The Xia family has always hoped to have a third queen, but now Cheng Yaojin has been found, and has been taken by the son of a low-level official in a remote area. I thought the Xia family would not be able to sit still because of this, and would come to me again. Let me find out who the new queen is.But this time my father and uncle were calm and didn't intend to contact me at all. It seems that they have already forgotten me in the palace as an abandoned child.
I have to say that Xia Jin is my only salvation in the palace. I don’t know when I started to think so, maybe it was when she took care of me when I was sick, maybe it was because she was obviously not good at talking but had to find topics in front of me Maybe it was when she looked at the weather outside and she took me out for a walk.
Xia Jin's friendly smile brought a ray of sunshine to my black and white world.Xia Jin made me re-examine life from another angle in her own way.
Maybe it’s because our living conditions before entering the palace were very different. Xia Jin was very satisfied with the life in the palace. She didn’t think it would be a painful thing to wait in the palace to die of old age. Xia Jin once said to me with a smile: “Eating well You are full, warmly dressed, and there are a lot of people waiting on you, how can you live a hard life? Ah Yuan, your requirements are too high."
"..." But I think Xia Jin is too easily satisfied.
"However, there is one bad thing about being in the palace, that is, it's too lonely." Xia Jin raised her head to face me, and said with a smile, "But it's all right now, with Ah Yuan as a company, I won't be lonely in the future."
Under the sunshine, Xia Jin's peach-like smile was deeply reflected in my mind, and I couldn't forget it for a long time. I couldn't help but replied: "Okay, I will be with you."
"Really?" Hearing what I said, Xia Jin didn't quite believe it, she stretched out her little finger in front of me, "Pull the hook, it only counts when you pull the hook."
"Okay, pull the hook." I smiled, and stretched out my little finger to pull the hook with Xia Jin, "This counts."
"En." After pulling the check mark, Xia Jin thought of something else, "Ah Yuan, shouldn't you call me sister, I'm two years older than you."
"..."
Later, I couldn't stand Xia Jin's torture, so I had no choice but to call her "Sister Jin".
If possible, I don't want to call her "Sister Jin" at all, I would rather call her by a small name like "Ajin" or "Jin'er", but this is not allowed, even if it is a relative who is out of reach In terms of identity, she is indeed my elder sister, and we are both concubines of the emperor, so some feelings cannot be had.
I never thought that I would fall in love with someone. Before entering the palace, I was young and knew nothing. After entering the palace, my identity was fixed, and I didn't think about it. A cute woman treated like a younger brother.
In the palace, it is absolutely impossible to like someone, at least on the surface, Xia Jin just loves me as a younger brother, and I will not pierce this layer of paper with her, I will play a good younger brother I like her silently in my heart.
Xia Jin couldn't read, so I taught her stroke by stroke. Xia Jin wanted to learn the piano, so I took her to visit the old lady in the palace who taught the young master to play the piano. , we went to the imperial dining room together, took out the master's shelf, and tossed in the kitchen for a long time. I was really happy when Xia Jin and Xia Jin supported each other in the palace.
My heart gradually relaxed. Being exiled and neglected is not a bad thing. I don't need to care about the gains and losses, and I don't need to calculate others every step of the way. I thought I would live like this forever in the palace with Xia Jin.
When I completely opened my heart to Xia Jin, I found that occasionally, Xia Jin would frown. I asked her if there was any difficulty, but she just shook her head with a wry smile, saying that she missed her relatives outside the palace. I was thinking, if I had paid more attention and asked more questions at that time, would Xia Jin not have died so miserably.
It all happened very suddenly. That day I went to Xia Jin's garden to look for her. I didn't call anyone in advance. I wanted to scare her for fun, but I didn't expect to see her holding a three-foot white silk and falling on the beams of the house. , if I'm one step late, she's afraid she's going to hang herself.
Under my persecution, Xia Jin trembled all over and confessed that she was pregnant and her fetus was darkened. She didn't know what to do, she just wanted to die, hoping to keep her family safe.
Bead tire dark knot? !How could such a thing happen?This is the great crime of filth and chaos in the harem!It is not that simple if you think you are dead. If a concubine commits suicide, there will be an autopsy by an old maid. When everything is clear, the emperor will order a thorough investigation. All the eunuchs who serve Xia Jin will die, even if Xia Jin If he dies, he will also be imprisoned by the three clans.
"Who is the handler?"
"Ah Yuan, don't force me... I can't tell..." Xia Jin almost collapsed, biting her lips, unwilling to reveal who her adulterer was.
I was annoyed for a while, what's so good about that man?If you really love her, you shouldn't touch her!Now that something happened, Xia Jin still wants to protect that thing that is inferior to a beast? !I pressed Xia Jin's shoulder and shouted: "When is it, can't you tell?! Do you love that man so much?! You don't even want your life for him?!"
"I don't love him!" Xia Jin cried and retorted, shaking her head vigorously, "I don't love him at all, he forced me, Ah Yuan, I don't want to be like this, but he keeps pushing me..."
"How long has he been forcing you?"
"Five...five years..."
five years!Didn't Xia Jin know how to resist in the past five years? "Why didn't you tell me? Am I that unworthy of your trust? Didn't we agree to live together in the palace together, why didn't you tell me to let us bear it together? I will find a way to help you."
"I...I can't say it, Ah Yuan..." Xia Jin choked, tears kept pouring out of her eyes, "I don't want you to know...I'm afraid that if you know, you will look down on me and leave me ……,I do not like this……"
"Sister Jin, why would I leave you?" I hugged her into my arms, the first time I had such intimate contact with her, "Don't worry, I will help you solve it."
This child must not be kept. Xia Jin is just the most inconspicuous of the many concubines in the harem. Her status is too low, so she is not even qualified to attend some important occasions. It is a breeze to knock out the piece of meat in her stomach thing.
Just like Xia Zhirou had a miscarriage back then, just prepare some mint. Mint can be seen everywhere in the harem. When I went to Xia Jin with a pot of mint to persuade her to abort the baby, I saw that Xia Jin kept silent. The adulterer, Jia Liang.
Jia Liang is the eldest son and grandson of the Jia family. Now his official career is booming, and he will be in charge of the Imperial Forest Army in the future. No wonder Xia Jin can only swallow his anger. Jia Liang's direct sister is the emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Wan.
Jia Liang learned that Xia Jin was pregnant with a child and forced her to give birth to the child. Of course I object to this kind of thing, and the secret knot of the fetus is a death penalty.Xia Jin is a low-key person, and no one is aware of it now. The best solution is to kill the child as soon as no one finds out. If something happens, let alone Xia Jin, even Jia Liang will not be able to protect himself.
But Jia Liang threatened the lives of Xia Jin's family members outside the palace to let her give birth to a child, and promised that he would never force her again.Xia Jin agreed, and she only asked for the safety of her family and Jia Liang not to appear in front of her again.Xia Jin cried and begged me to help her hide it, how could I not agree, as long as it was her request, I would satisfy it.
It is very difficult to give birth without anyone noticing in the harem, but Xia Jin's status is low and she lives in a remote place. If the plan is good, it is not impossible.I asked Jia Liang to assign the guard position and patrol time of the Imperial Forest Army in the palace. There were very few people around Xia Jin's garden, and now there will be no unauthorized intrusion.I told Xia Jin not to leave the house if she had nothing to do, not even to take a walk in the yard.
Naturally, she should drink anti-fetal medicine when she is pregnant. Fortunately, Concubine Liu in the palace is also pregnant, and the month is about the same as Xia Jin. I told Jia Liang to buy the doctor Wu Yu from Tai Hospital to write a fake medicine order. I asked Xiao Gao, the little eunuch from the Royal Pharmacy, to boil a bowl of anti-fetal medicine and send it to Xia Jin. Even later, I found out that Chunjuan, the maid serving Xia Jin, was too timid. The information was revealed to Jia Liang, Jia Liang strangled Chunjuan to death with his own hands, and found a cowardly maid who was dumb and illiterate to replace her in the Internal Service Bureau.
It's a pity that the matter still came to light. When Xia Jin was about eight months pregnant, Concubine Wen was poisoned and Concubine Liu gave birth prematurely because of the dressing change. When they arrived at Taiye Court, Xia Jin had already been stripped naked and beaten to death, and the child was lost, it is said that the emperor took it to feed the Tibetan mastiff.
I watched Xia Jin die in my arms, feeling her body temperature gradually getting colder.Why did it become like this?Xia Jin just wants to live in the palace in peace and stability, and has never done anything harmful to the world. Why did God treat her like this?
Xia Jin told me not to do stupid things and let me live a good life, but how can I live alone since she left?If it wasn't for Jia Liang, Xia Jin could live a peaceful life in the harem without any worries.Now that Xia Jin is dead, no matter what, I have to pull a back to commemorate her death.
I grew up with calculations since I was a child, Jia Liang is not my opponent at all, and his younger sister Concubine Wan, I thought that Concubine Wan who fascinated the emperor was some kind of ruthless character, I set a trap for her and jumped down , and angered the emperor, he was demoted as a talented person, and Jia Liang was also sentenced to be cut in half.
But how can cutting in half be enough? On the day Jia Liang was executed, I got the permission of the emperor and ordered someone to bring a few Tibetan mastiffs there. Sister Jin’s child became the belly of the Tibetan mastiff. I also want Jia Liang to taste it. taste.
I, Xia Zhiyuan, Rong Hua, who was not favored in the harem, actually defeated the emperor's most beloved concubine, the prince's biological mother, Concubine Wan, and retired from the incident of adultery in the harem, which made my father and uncle see me again Even if I am not favored, even if the emperor does not want to see you, I can still do what I want to do.
My father started to write me letters again, trying to get close to me. His letter made it very clear that the Xia family had arranged for someone to enter the palace again, and asked me to support them. According to the decree, move out of the palace, move into Sister Jin's Taihuayuan, and don't care about anything anymore.
The queen mother's aunt also looked at me with pity, she granted her permission at the moment, and spared my greetings, so I lived alone in Taihuayuan, a place full of Sister Jin's atmosphere, remembering the little things between us.
My life is very boring. I read books, write and write, and sometimes I don’t speak much for nearly a month. In the days when Sister Jin is no longer, the world in my eyes has become black and white again.
At first, I thought I was just living like this, until one day, the queen's sedan chair stopped outside my garden.
The queen is a man, but I have to admit that he is beautiful, beyond gender, not to mention in the palace, there are few people in the world who can match him, no wonder the emperor hurts Concubine Wen Wanfei's heart , but also make him queen.
I bowed to the queen, "The empress came to look for this minister, what is the matter?"
"Yuan Ronghua, I think you are very smart, I wonder if you are willing to work for me?"
The queen's words are really straight to the point. Does this mean that she wants me to work hard for him?I didn't even agree with my father, and I moved to a remote place, how could I help this queen who only has looks but no roots.
I politely declined and said: "Thank you Empress Empress for your kindness. I just want to live in peace and don't want to get involved in the gossip and disputes in the palace. I also hope that Empress Empress will be tolerant."
After hearing my answer, the queen was not angry, but just confirmed to me again: "Are you really unwilling to help me? Maybe one day you will regret it."
"Weichen can only promise to the empress that I will never take the initiative to do anything that would endanger the empress during my lifetime." I, Xia Zhiyuan, never regret anything I do.
In the days that followed, the palace was fairly peaceful, and occasionally there would be some small disturbances, but they had nothing to do with me. I just need to quietly wait for the passage of time and the moment of reunion with Xia Jin.
But more than a year later, the harem was once again turbulent, and the rumor of the murderer spread throughout the capital.Rumor has it that the sixth prince, Li Ji, is the reincarnation of a murderous son who killed his brother Shi and brother, and restrained his father and mother.It was just a rumor at the beginning, but it didn't take long for the rumor to become true. The princes and princesses were all infected with strange diseases, and the young ones died of illness directly, but Li Ji lived well.
Maybe the emperor will kill Li Ji to block the mouth of the people in the world, maybe the emperor will find a scapegoat to replace Li Ji as a sinner, and that scapegoat is me.
The witch dolls that the eunuchs found in my garden showed that I was the real culprit who made the princes and daughters sick. I didn't make any excuses for this. The king let the minister die, and the minister had to die.The emperor hates our Xia family so much, does he need a reason for wanting me to die?
Xia Jin was not around, and I was meaningless to live, so I simply pleaded guilty, and the Queen Mother was furious, and gave me poisoned wine.
When the poisoned wine was placed in front of me, I met the emperor again, and the emperor asked me why I pleaded guilty, and I said this is not what you mean, the emperor?
The emperor told me that it was not he who framed me, but the queen.But it doesn't matter to me, anyway, I'm dead anyway, I'm really tired, I don't want to make any more calculations, just treat him as the winner.
I made a condition to the emperor, I helped him analyze the real reason of the "murderer", and he promised me that I would die in Taiye court in a different way.
I don't know how painful it is to die with a stick, so I really want to try it and experience for myself how painful Xia Jin was at the beginning.
In Taiye Court, before I was executed with a cane, the Empress actually came to see me. Even if he died, he would not let me die peacefully.
I remember more than a year ago, when Xia Jinzhang died in the Taiye Court, the queen was like a frightened rabbit, terrified, and now she dared to come to see me in the Taiye Court in person. Is in disguise.
The queen sent away the prisoner who was executing the execution, and said that she wanted to talk to me alone.
I looked at the queen's beautiful face and said that he has a heart like a snake and a scorpion?This seems to describe a woman, and I am not qualified to say that about him. After thinking for a while, I asked directly: "Why did you frame me?"
"How do you know it's Bengong?" The queen asked without answering.
"I really can't find a reason why I can still see you, Empress Empress, before I die." That's all I can answer.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it. I said before, maybe one day you will regret it." The Queen's answer was a tacit consent.
This scene between me and the queen, this conversation seems familiar, as if it happened somewhere.By the way, I remembered that not long after Xia Zhisu entered the palace, she also appeared in front of me in this posture, which made me extremely embarrassed.
I looked at the queen and kept thinking about what happened before. In the last letter my father wrote to me, the Xia family sent a newcomer into the palace. Is this person the queen?If it was the queen, how could she frame me? I am also from the Xia family. If I practice witchcraft, I may be implicated in the nine clans.
I remember that the queen's real name is Zhou Ling, Zhou Ling, and suddenly I thought of someone, and I couldn't stop laughing in my heart, "Empress, can you step forward a little bit? I have something private to say to you."
Although the executioner is standing far away, the queen's personal prisoner is still nearby. I only want the two of us to know these words.
The queen then gave the inner eunuchs a wink, and when the outsiders backed away five steps away, I said softly: "Empress, if the emperor knows that you have lied to him, can you survive? I should call you Zhou Ling, should I call you Xia Zhiling?"
The queen's expression changed slightly immediately, she took a few steps back and said with a sneer, "Yuan Ronghua, you are really smart, but it's a pity you didn't have the chance to tell the emperor."
I don't have this chance? !After hearing what the queen said, I laughed out loud, "Haha-haha-you're right, I don't have this chance!" I don't have this chance to see how you die.
Think about the people sent into the palace by the Xia family, Xia Zhirou was buried, "Xia Zhisu" died of the plague, Xia Jin was killed with a stick, and I ended up like this, queen, queen, do you think you can escape? ? !
At the beginning of the execution, the inner eunuch hung me on the pillar, with my feet off the ground, just like Xia Jin back then, and a sturdy inner eunuch walked towards me with a thick stick, and soon I would be freed .
-
After death, people will go to the Underworld, cross the Naihe Bridge, and drink Mengpo soup.This is what the old people often say, and I never believe it.
And now that bridge is in front of me, and I'm going to walk across it and go to my other reincarnation.
On the side of the bridge, a slightly ugly old lady waved to me, and after I walked over, she handed me a bowl of soup, "Young man, I want to drink a bowl of Mengpo soup before crossing the bridge, forget the troubles of the previous life, and clean up." Pure to reincarnate."
"Grandma, a person died more than a year ago, did she also drink this bowl of soup, cross this bridge, and go to reincarnation?"
"Yeah, everyone has to drink the soup to be reincarnated."
I smiled, didn't ask any more questions, took a sip of the soup in the bowl, said goodbye to the old woman, and walked towards the Naihe Bridge.
I walked for a long time, looked back, and could no longer see
"What did you bring me here for?"
The door of the Leng Palace was not fully closed, it was even opened a crack, Xia Jin looked towards the crack of the door, and said slowly: "Concubine Su is now locked in the Leng Palace."
"What?" I was taken aback, how is it possible?She is not pregnant with a dragon heir, and is favored by the emperor and the queen mother's aunt, how could she be thrown into the cold palace? !I have been confining myself in the palace for more than a month, and the news is too poor.
"Don't you know? Concubine Su had a miscarriage," Xia Jin told the facts she knew: "It is said that there will be no more children in the future."
Xia Zhisu is that cheap.She had a miscarriage, the emperor should take pity on her even more, how could she be thrown into limbo? !The queen mother and aunt actually let it go?What the hell is going on these days?I'm just surprised, what happened to Xia Zhisu has nothing to do with me, but I don't mind adding insult to injury.
"Don't you want to go in and see her down and out look?" Xia Jin turned to me and asked.
"Why did you bring me here?" I'm not familiar with Xia Jin, it can be said that I'm a stranger. What's the purpose of her doing these things?
"You should hate Concubine Su very much." Xia Jin didn't answer me, "Because you haven't even seen your mother for the last time."
"Is it related to you?" I was very afraid of Xia Jin, because she had seen me in the most helpless and hesitant state.
"Go in and have a look at her. She is doing very badly now, and the emperor has never been here. It seems that she has been forgotten." Xia Jin pulled up my sleeve and walked towards the door of the cold palace. "You saw her?" , vent out the anger in your heart, and you will be fine."
"Whether I'm okay or not is none of your business?!" I shook off Xia Jin's hand, took a few steps back, and said defensively, "Why should I go to the cold palace to meet that bitch?!"
"I don't think you've ever been calculated like this in your life, have you? It's only natural to be unconvinced." Xia Jin completely ignored my unkind tone just now, and she said, "Your mother told me that you were once a very shameless person. A carefree person only grows up in a big family and can't control many things, so he becomes ruthless. Your mother asked me to let me help you if something happened to you in the palace one day. "
"Do you know my mother?" I didn't expect that there was such a relationship between them. I wanted to ask a few more questions, but suddenly I saw a group of people walking towards the cold palace at the corner in front of me.
The pedestrians were not very ostentatious, and there was an ordinary blue sedan chair in the middle, but I had a good time after a while, and I recognized everyone I should recognize very accurately. There was a bloated figure beside the blue sedan chair. With his palace uniform, one can guess without guessing that this person is the emperor's personal eunuch, Wanfu.
Wanfu was never three steps away from the emperor, most likely the emperor himself was inside the blue sedan chair.Usually the emperor travels in the imperial chariot, accompanied by at least 30 people, but now he only brought a few people with him, and came to the cold palace in a small sedan chair. It is clear that he does not want others to know his whereabouts. I am not a fool Well, if the emperor finds out that we are at the gate of the cold palace, maybe we will be implicated in something.
Thinking of this, I grabbed Xia Jin and hid behind the stone lion statue beside the cold palace gate. Fortunately, the statue is big enough, otherwise I really don't know where to hide at this moment.
"Yuan Ronghua..." Xia Jin still didn't understand the situation, and wanted to ask. Seeing that the emperor's sedan chair was about to arrive, I dared not let her make a sound, so I immediately reached out to cover her mouth and pressed her shoulder Squat behind the stone lion so as not to be discovered.
After the sedan chair stopped at the gate of the cold palace, sure enough, the person who got out of the sedan chair was the emperor.
I have a bad premonition in my heart. I don't think the emperor came to pick up Xia Zhisu. If the emperor really dotes on her and wants to pick her up from the cold palace in person, it should be done with great fanfare, not so low-key. .
Less than a stick of incense later, my thoughts were confirmed. I saw Xia Zhisu being grabbed and dragged out of the gate of the cold palace by two muscular eunuchs. Xia Zhisu shouted like a shrew, resisting , But it didn't help, another eunuch took out a rope to tie Xia Zhisu up, and stuffed her mouth with a handkerchief.
Even if he was thrown into the cold palace, Xia Zhisu is still a concubine, and the eunuchs would not be able to act so blatantly because of his identity, unless it was the order from the emperor himself. When I thought of this, the emperor also walked out of the cold palace. He didn't say anything. What, just looking at Xia Zhisu struggling in pain, the emperor is obviously smiling, but that smile makes me shudder.
After the emperor and his entourage left, I let go of my hand and stood up.And Xia Jin was obviously frightened by the scene just now, I pulled her up, "Are you scared?"
"I..." Although Xia Jin is also a concubine in the palace, her status is the lowest one, let alone the emperor, she can't even see a higher status eunuch, how could she have encountered such a thing.
"Didn't you want to take me to see Concubine Su just now?" I didn't bother to care if she was frightened, "You should thank me for pulling you away in time just now, otherwise Concubine Su would not be the only one who was taken away. "
"How could this happen?" Xia Jin didn't understand at all, she asked me for proof: "Isn't the emperor doting on Concubine Su very much? How could he treat her like this?"
"Didn't you just say that the emperor has forgotten her." I sneered, "Let's pretend we didn't see this kind of thing, or we won't know how we died." Dust, turned and left.
Regarding what happened in the Lenggong that day, Xia Jin and I kept tight-lipped. Not long after, a plague broke out in the Lenggong and many people were infected. He was ill, and his face was so festered that people couldn't recognize him. The emperor ordered to seal off the cold palace and let the people inside wait to die.
I think the emperor doesn't like Xia Zhisu at all, or hate it. Xia Zhisu was taken out of the cold palace without a sound. No one knows where she went. It is estimated that life would be worse than death, and death from the plague would be worse. Have fun.
If it wasn't for the occasional discovery that the emperor personally attacked Xia Zhisu, I don't think I would have noticed the emperor's intentions in my life. I am afraid that the emperor would like to uproot and eradicate our Xia clan.
Look at the people the Xia family sent to the palace, from Xia Zhirou to Xia Zhisu, and Xia Jin and I, none of them ended well. The emperor did it on purpose.
Both Xia Zhirou and Xia Zhisu were once the emperor's favorite concubine, but what is a favorite concubine?If the emperor really liked them, how could he deal the hardest blow after their miscarriage, the emperor wished for them to die.
After "Xia Zhisu" died, my long-lost father outside the palace suddenly became familiar with me again. Now Xia Jin and I are the only people in the Xia family in the palace. I don't understand the form, so my father put his hope on me.He and my uncle wanted me to take the place of Xia Zhirou and Xia Zhisu.
I told them as early as after Xia Zhirou's death that the accident of the emperor's precious Concubine Wen was planned by me, and it was impossible for him to treat me.Now that I have figured out what the emperor is thinking, how could I send myself to the tiger's mouth? I don't want to be the next Xia family's victim.
I am a person who is very afraid of death, so I understand that some things cannot be explained clearly. I just told my father to resign quickly and return to his hometown. Maybe he can save his life. I was remembering the things about my mother, and thought I was a white-eyed wolf.Later, I received a letter from my father, which was a letter of severing ties. My father said that he did not have a selfish son like me.
I also wrote letters to my brothers and sisters, but what I received was a letter of severance to sever brotherhood.After I saw those letters, I still felt hopeless in my heart, just because I didn't want to help, just because I told them to give up, they were going to sever ties with me?The Xia family is powerful enough, what else do they want?Want to subvert the imperial power and become emperor yourself?I'm doing it for them.
The death of my mother, the severance of my father, and the incomprehension of my brothers and sisters, I really feel so tired and out of breath. Every day when I open my eyes, I see the scenery outside is black and white, lifeless at all.I don't know what's the point of my survival, I can only wait in the palace to die slowly.
As the days passed, I gradually lost weight, and I couldn't even get sick.The inner eunuchs wanted to invite an imperial doctor for me, but I stopped them. I thought I would just die like this, and I would die early and be reborn sooner.
Xia Jin knew about my illness, she brought an imperial doctor to treat me, and fed me medicine. Looking at the brown soup, I felt nauseous, pushed the medicine bowl to the ground, and smashed it to pieces.
"Get out!" I was seriously ill and had no strength at all, no matter how much I pushed Xia Jin, she would not be moved, "I told you to get out, you don't need to pity me, I don't want to live long ago, you still care what I do ?”
Xia Jin didn't answer my question, but just turned around and asked the inner prisoner to bring another bowl of medicine. She scooped up a spoonful of medicine with a spoon and handed it to my mouth. good."
"I said, I don't want to live anymore, can you leave me alone!" I knocked over the medicine bowl in Xia Jin's hand again, and growled like a madman, "My mother is dead, and my father wants to sever ties with me!" , Brothers and sisters also have to draw a clear line with me, what is the point of my life?! What is the purpose of my life?!"
"Yuan Ronghua..." Xia Jin didn't leave in fright because of my big change in temperament, but sat on the edge of the bed and patted my back, comforting me over and over again, "It's okay, everything is over , will be fine."
"I'm so tired, I really want to be relieved..." My voice trembled, my vision was blurred, and my head became more and more dizzy. The crying and shouting just now exhausted all the strength in my body, and I lost consciousness in a trance.
When I woke up, it was already 5 days later, and the first person I saw when I opened my eyes was still Xia Jin, she leaned against the edge of my bed and closed her eyes to rest.I didn’t eat or drink for so long, my throat was almost smoky, I tried to sit up, I wanted to call someone to pour me a glass of water, "Come... come here." I could hardly make a sound.
Xia Jin seemed to be sleeping very lightly, and I woke her up with a slight movement, and she was overjoyed to see that I was awake, "You wake up, it's fine, the imperial doctor said that as long as you wake up, there will be no serious problems. "
What she meant was that I still have to live in this cold palace for the rest of my life.
I really want to live every day in a decadent way, and let myself gradually corrode like this, but Xia Jin, that Yangzhou skinny horse from a humble background, almost died because of my illness before, she would appear in my palace almost every day, even if I asked the inner eunuchs to tell her not to see visitors, and she would sneak in quietly, just to talk to me and don't give up on myself.
Not long after I recovered from my illness, Xia Jin also slipped a letter to me, saying it was from my mother. I asked Xia Jin where she got the letter from, and Xia Jin said it was handed over by my mother before she entered the palace. For her, if one day I see that I am devastated, let me read this letter.
I took the letter from Xia Jin, let alone read it, didn't open it at all, put the letter in front of the candlelight, and burned it together with the envelope.
I can guess what my mother wants to say to me.The most is to let me relax, don't worry about it, don't worry about it, and live peacefully in the palace.Isn't that what I am now, I don't have to make calculations if I want to, and I can't die even if I want to.
"Why didn't you read that letter?" Xia Jin frowned slightly, with a slightly reproachful tone: "It contains your mother's instructions and miss for you."
I snorted coldly and said, "Why, you peeked at it?"
"No," Xia Jin quickly shook her head, "I'm just guessing." I didn't say anything, Xia Jin thought I didn't believe it, and was a little anxious. She stretched out three fingers and swore to God: "What I said is true, And...and I can't read at all."
Seeing Xia Jin's flushed face, I smiled: "I don't read that letter because it will make me sad after reading it, so it's better to burn it."
Later I learned that Xia Jin had a very hard life before entering the palace. Because her younger brother was ill, he was almost sold by his parents to be someone else's concubine. Xia Jin's parents were given a sum of money, which saved Xia Jin from death.Xia Jin was grateful for her mother's daily good deeds, and thought about how to repay her every day. No, if she repays her, she will repay it to me.
Xia Jin doesn't want me to live like a living dead. She comes to me every day and tells me what happened in the palace. I wonder why Xia Jin's mentality is so good. Her current situation is no better than mine Where to go, Baili is just waiting to die in the palace as a widow.If I remember correctly, she was summoned by the emperor once, and then she was sidelined. With the background of the Xia family, no matter how beautiful Xia Jin is, her life is over.
Xia Jin is a good woman, pure, kind, and willing to help others. Even the eunuchs in my palace are full of praise for her, saying that Jincai is beautiful and has a good heart. Yes, someday, but that day will never come.
As time passed day by day, Xia Jin never stopped coming to chat with me, always telling me gossip about the palace.
"A Yuan, did you know that the emperor is going to start selecting a new show girl."
"..." Ah Yuan, it was Xia Jin who insisted on calling me that way, saying that it was kind, even though there was a difference in status, I didn't bother to be serious.
"You didn't respond? Many concubines in the palace hate it."
"Ah Yuan, it is said that Concubine Wen forced Liu Xiaozhu to jump into the lake, and this matter has been brought to the emperor."
"..." That little master Liu was out of his mind, and he didn't inquire about Concubine Wen's position in the emperor's heart before making troubles. No, Xia Jin said a few days later: "That little master Liu offended the queen mother for some reason, and lost dancing in front of the palace." Opportunity."
"Ah Yuan, did you know that the emperor is going to establish a queen."
"..." This is a matter of time, the emperor's crown prince will be established, and Concubine Wan will be established sooner or later, but Xia Jin said in the next sentence: "The candidate for the empress is actually an unknown newcomer."
"What did you say? A newcomer?" I was stunned, how could the emperor appoint someone who is not Concubine Wan as the empress? !
Usually when Xia Jin came to me, she would tell me about herself, and I never answered. Xia Jin was a little flattered when I asked her this question, and quickly told her everything she knew, "Enen, it seems that Jiang Linxu Adult, his father is a fifth-rank eunuch. It is said that the emperor fell in love with him at second sight, and even entrusted him to raise the prince."
The Xia family has always hoped to have a third queen, but now Cheng Yaojin has been found, and has been taken by the son of a low-level official in a remote area. I thought the Xia family would not be able to sit still because of this, and would come to me again. Let me find out who the new queen is.But this time my father and uncle were calm and didn't intend to contact me at all. It seems that they have already forgotten me in the palace as an abandoned child.
I have to say that Xia Jin is my only salvation in the palace. I don’t know when I started to think so, maybe it was when she took care of me when I was sick, maybe it was because she was obviously not good at talking but had to find topics in front of me Maybe it was when she looked at the weather outside and she took me out for a walk.
Xia Jin's friendly smile brought a ray of sunshine to my black and white world.Xia Jin made me re-examine life from another angle in her own way.
Maybe it’s because our living conditions before entering the palace were very different. Xia Jin was very satisfied with the life in the palace. She didn’t think it would be a painful thing to wait in the palace to die of old age. Xia Jin once said to me with a smile: “Eating well You are full, warmly dressed, and there are a lot of people waiting on you, how can you live a hard life? Ah Yuan, your requirements are too high."
"..." But I think Xia Jin is too easily satisfied.
"However, there is one bad thing about being in the palace, that is, it's too lonely." Xia Jin raised her head to face me, and said with a smile, "But it's all right now, with Ah Yuan as a company, I won't be lonely in the future."
Under the sunshine, Xia Jin's peach-like smile was deeply reflected in my mind, and I couldn't forget it for a long time. I couldn't help but replied: "Okay, I will be with you."
"Really?" Hearing what I said, Xia Jin didn't quite believe it, she stretched out her little finger in front of me, "Pull the hook, it only counts when you pull the hook."
"Okay, pull the hook." I smiled, and stretched out my little finger to pull the hook with Xia Jin, "This counts."
"En." After pulling the check mark, Xia Jin thought of something else, "Ah Yuan, shouldn't you call me sister, I'm two years older than you."
"..."
Later, I couldn't stand Xia Jin's torture, so I had no choice but to call her "Sister Jin".
If possible, I don't want to call her "Sister Jin" at all, I would rather call her by a small name like "Ajin" or "Jin'er", but this is not allowed, even if it is a relative who is out of reach In terms of identity, she is indeed my elder sister, and we are both concubines of the emperor, so some feelings cannot be had.
I never thought that I would fall in love with someone. Before entering the palace, I was young and knew nothing. After entering the palace, my identity was fixed, and I didn't think about it. A cute woman treated like a younger brother.
In the palace, it is absolutely impossible to like someone, at least on the surface, Xia Jin just loves me as a younger brother, and I will not pierce this layer of paper with her, I will play a good younger brother I like her silently in my heart.
Xia Jin couldn't read, so I taught her stroke by stroke. Xia Jin wanted to learn the piano, so I took her to visit the old lady in the palace who taught the young master to play the piano. , we went to the imperial dining room together, took out the master's shelf, and tossed in the kitchen for a long time. I was really happy when Xia Jin and Xia Jin supported each other in the palace.
My heart gradually relaxed. Being exiled and neglected is not a bad thing. I don't need to care about the gains and losses, and I don't need to calculate others every step of the way. I thought I would live like this forever in the palace with Xia Jin.
When I completely opened my heart to Xia Jin, I found that occasionally, Xia Jin would frown. I asked her if there was any difficulty, but she just shook her head with a wry smile, saying that she missed her relatives outside the palace. I was thinking, if I had paid more attention and asked more questions at that time, would Xia Jin not have died so miserably.
It all happened very suddenly. That day I went to Xia Jin's garden to look for her. I didn't call anyone in advance. I wanted to scare her for fun, but I didn't expect to see her holding a three-foot white silk and falling on the beams of the house. , if I'm one step late, she's afraid she's going to hang herself.
Under my persecution, Xia Jin trembled all over and confessed that she was pregnant and her fetus was darkened. She didn't know what to do, she just wanted to die, hoping to keep her family safe.
Bead tire dark knot? !How could such a thing happen?This is the great crime of filth and chaos in the harem!It is not that simple if you think you are dead. If a concubine commits suicide, there will be an autopsy by an old maid. When everything is clear, the emperor will order a thorough investigation. All the eunuchs who serve Xia Jin will die, even if Xia Jin If he dies, he will also be imprisoned by the three clans.
"Who is the handler?"
"Ah Yuan, don't force me... I can't tell..." Xia Jin almost collapsed, biting her lips, unwilling to reveal who her adulterer was.
I was annoyed for a while, what's so good about that man?If you really love her, you shouldn't touch her!Now that something happened, Xia Jin still wants to protect that thing that is inferior to a beast? !I pressed Xia Jin's shoulder and shouted: "When is it, can't you tell?! Do you love that man so much?! You don't even want your life for him?!"
"I don't love him!" Xia Jin cried and retorted, shaking her head vigorously, "I don't love him at all, he forced me, Ah Yuan, I don't want to be like this, but he keeps pushing me..."
"How long has he been forcing you?"
"Five...five years..."
five years!Didn't Xia Jin know how to resist in the past five years? "Why didn't you tell me? Am I that unworthy of your trust? Didn't we agree to live together in the palace together, why didn't you tell me to let us bear it together? I will find a way to help you."
"I...I can't say it, Ah Yuan..." Xia Jin choked, tears kept pouring out of her eyes, "I don't want you to know...I'm afraid that if you know, you will look down on me and leave me ……,I do not like this……"
"Sister Jin, why would I leave you?" I hugged her into my arms, the first time I had such intimate contact with her, "Don't worry, I will help you solve it."
This child must not be kept. Xia Jin is just the most inconspicuous of the many concubines in the harem. Her status is too low, so she is not even qualified to attend some important occasions. It is a breeze to knock out the piece of meat in her stomach thing.
Just like Xia Zhirou had a miscarriage back then, just prepare some mint. Mint can be seen everywhere in the harem. When I went to Xia Jin with a pot of mint to persuade her to abort the baby, I saw that Xia Jin kept silent. The adulterer, Jia Liang.
Jia Liang is the eldest son and grandson of the Jia family. Now his official career is booming, and he will be in charge of the Imperial Forest Army in the future. No wonder Xia Jin can only swallow his anger. Jia Liang's direct sister is the emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Wan.
Jia Liang learned that Xia Jin was pregnant with a child and forced her to give birth to the child. Of course I object to this kind of thing, and the secret knot of the fetus is a death penalty.Xia Jin is a low-key person, and no one is aware of it now. The best solution is to kill the child as soon as no one finds out. If something happens, let alone Xia Jin, even Jia Liang will not be able to protect himself.
But Jia Liang threatened the lives of Xia Jin's family members outside the palace to let her give birth to a child, and promised that he would never force her again.Xia Jin agreed, and she only asked for the safety of her family and Jia Liang not to appear in front of her again.Xia Jin cried and begged me to help her hide it, how could I not agree, as long as it was her request, I would satisfy it.
It is very difficult to give birth without anyone noticing in the harem, but Xia Jin's status is low and she lives in a remote place. If the plan is good, it is not impossible.I asked Jia Liang to assign the guard position and patrol time of the Imperial Forest Army in the palace. There were very few people around Xia Jin's garden, and now there will be no unauthorized intrusion.I told Xia Jin not to leave the house if she had nothing to do, not even to take a walk in the yard.
Naturally, she should drink anti-fetal medicine when she is pregnant. Fortunately, Concubine Liu in the palace is also pregnant, and the month is about the same as Xia Jin. I told Jia Liang to buy the doctor Wu Yu from Tai Hospital to write a fake medicine order. I asked Xiao Gao, the little eunuch from the Royal Pharmacy, to boil a bowl of anti-fetal medicine and send it to Xia Jin. Even later, I found out that Chunjuan, the maid serving Xia Jin, was too timid. The information was revealed to Jia Liang, Jia Liang strangled Chunjuan to death with his own hands, and found a cowardly maid who was dumb and illiterate to replace her in the Internal Service Bureau.
It's a pity that the matter still came to light. When Xia Jin was about eight months pregnant, Concubine Wen was poisoned and Concubine Liu gave birth prematurely because of the dressing change. When they arrived at Taiye Court, Xia Jin had already been stripped naked and beaten to death, and the child was lost, it is said that the emperor took it to feed the Tibetan mastiff.
I watched Xia Jin die in my arms, feeling her body temperature gradually getting colder.Why did it become like this?Xia Jin just wants to live in the palace in peace and stability, and has never done anything harmful to the world. Why did God treat her like this?
Xia Jin told me not to do stupid things and let me live a good life, but how can I live alone since she left?If it wasn't for Jia Liang, Xia Jin could live a peaceful life in the harem without any worries.Now that Xia Jin is dead, no matter what, I have to pull a back to commemorate her death.
I grew up with calculations since I was a child, Jia Liang is not my opponent at all, and his younger sister Concubine Wan, I thought that Concubine Wan who fascinated the emperor was some kind of ruthless character, I set a trap for her and jumped down , and angered the emperor, he was demoted as a talented person, and Jia Liang was also sentenced to be cut in half.
But how can cutting in half be enough? On the day Jia Liang was executed, I got the permission of the emperor and ordered someone to bring a few Tibetan mastiffs there. Sister Jin’s child became the belly of the Tibetan mastiff. I also want Jia Liang to taste it. taste.
I, Xia Zhiyuan, Rong Hua, who was not favored in the harem, actually defeated the emperor's most beloved concubine, the prince's biological mother, Concubine Wan, and retired from the incident of adultery in the harem, which made my father and uncle see me again Even if I am not favored, even if the emperor does not want to see you, I can still do what I want to do.
My father started to write me letters again, trying to get close to me. His letter made it very clear that the Xia family had arranged for someone to enter the palace again, and asked me to support them. According to the decree, move out of the palace, move into Sister Jin's Taihuayuan, and don't care about anything anymore.
The queen mother's aunt also looked at me with pity, she granted her permission at the moment, and spared my greetings, so I lived alone in Taihuayuan, a place full of Sister Jin's atmosphere, remembering the little things between us.
My life is very boring. I read books, write and write, and sometimes I don’t speak much for nearly a month. In the days when Sister Jin is no longer, the world in my eyes has become black and white again.
At first, I thought I was just living like this, until one day, the queen's sedan chair stopped outside my garden.
The queen is a man, but I have to admit that he is beautiful, beyond gender, not to mention in the palace, there are few people in the world who can match him, no wonder the emperor hurts Concubine Wen Wanfei's heart , but also make him queen.
I bowed to the queen, "The empress came to look for this minister, what is the matter?"
"Yuan Ronghua, I think you are very smart, I wonder if you are willing to work for me?"
The queen's words are really straight to the point. Does this mean that she wants me to work hard for him?I didn't even agree with my father, and I moved to a remote place, how could I help this queen who only has looks but no roots.
I politely declined and said: "Thank you Empress Empress for your kindness. I just want to live in peace and don't want to get involved in the gossip and disputes in the palace. I also hope that Empress Empress will be tolerant."
After hearing my answer, the queen was not angry, but just confirmed to me again: "Are you really unwilling to help me? Maybe one day you will regret it."
"Weichen can only promise to the empress that I will never take the initiative to do anything that would endanger the empress during my lifetime." I, Xia Zhiyuan, never regret anything I do.
In the days that followed, the palace was fairly peaceful, and occasionally there would be some small disturbances, but they had nothing to do with me. I just need to quietly wait for the passage of time and the moment of reunion with Xia Jin.
But more than a year later, the harem was once again turbulent, and the rumor of the murderer spread throughout the capital.Rumor has it that the sixth prince, Li Ji, is the reincarnation of a murderous son who killed his brother Shi and brother, and restrained his father and mother.It was just a rumor at the beginning, but it didn't take long for the rumor to become true. The princes and princesses were all infected with strange diseases, and the young ones died of illness directly, but Li Ji lived well.
Maybe the emperor will kill Li Ji to block the mouth of the people in the world, maybe the emperor will find a scapegoat to replace Li Ji as a sinner, and that scapegoat is me.
The witch dolls that the eunuchs found in my garden showed that I was the real culprit who made the princes and daughters sick. I didn't make any excuses for this. The king let the minister die, and the minister had to die.The emperor hates our Xia family so much, does he need a reason for wanting me to die?
Xia Jin was not around, and I was meaningless to live, so I simply pleaded guilty, and the Queen Mother was furious, and gave me poisoned wine.
When the poisoned wine was placed in front of me, I met the emperor again, and the emperor asked me why I pleaded guilty, and I said this is not what you mean, the emperor?
The emperor told me that it was not he who framed me, but the queen.But it doesn't matter to me, anyway, I'm dead anyway, I'm really tired, I don't want to make any more calculations, just treat him as the winner.
I made a condition to the emperor, I helped him analyze the real reason of the "murderer", and he promised me that I would die in Taiye court in a different way.
I don't know how painful it is to die with a stick, so I really want to try it and experience for myself how painful Xia Jin was at the beginning.
In Taiye Court, before I was executed with a cane, the Empress actually came to see me. Even if he died, he would not let me die peacefully.
I remember more than a year ago, when Xia Jinzhang died in the Taiye Court, the queen was like a frightened rabbit, terrified, and now she dared to come to see me in the Taiye Court in person. Is in disguise.
The queen sent away the prisoner who was executing the execution, and said that she wanted to talk to me alone.
I looked at the queen's beautiful face and said that he has a heart like a snake and a scorpion?This seems to describe a woman, and I am not qualified to say that about him. After thinking for a while, I asked directly: "Why did you frame me?"
"How do you know it's Bengong?" The queen asked without answering.
"I really can't find a reason why I can still see you, Empress Empress, before I die." That's all I can answer.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it. I said before, maybe one day you will regret it." The Queen's answer was a tacit consent.
This scene between me and the queen, this conversation seems familiar, as if it happened somewhere.By the way, I remembered that not long after Xia Zhisu entered the palace, she also appeared in front of me in this posture, which made me extremely embarrassed.
I looked at the queen and kept thinking about what happened before. In the last letter my father wrote to me, the Xia family sent a newcomer into the palace. Is this person the queen?If it was the queen, how could she frame me? I am also from the Xia family. If I practice witchcraft, I may be implicated in the nine clans.
I remember that the queen's real name is Zhou Ling, Zhou Ling, and suddenly I thought of someone, and I couldn't stop laughing in my heart, "Empress, can you step forward a little bit? I have something private to say to you."
Although the executioner is standing far away, the queen's personal prisoner is still nearby. I only want the two of us to know these words.
The queen then gave the inner eunuchs a wink, and when the outsiders backed away five steps away, I said softly: "Empress, if the emperor knows that you have lied to him, can you survive? I should call you Zhou Ling, should I call you Xia Zhiling?"
The queen's expression changed slightly immediately, she took a few steps back and said with a sneer, "Yuan Ronghua, you are really smart, but it's a pity you didn't have the chance to tell the emperor."
I don't have this chance? !After hearing what the queen said, I laughed out loud, "Haha-haha-you're right, I don't have this chance!" I don't have this chance to see how you die.
Think about the people sent into the palace by the Xia family, Xia Zhirou was buried, "Xia Zhisu" died of the plague, Xia Jin was killed with a stick, and I ended up like this, queen, queen, do you think you can escape? ? !
At the beginning of the execution, the inner eunuch hung me on the pillar, with my feet off the ground, just like Xia Jin back then, and a sturdy inner eunuch walked towards me with a thick stick, and soon I would be freed .

After death, people will go to the Underworld, cross the Naihe Bridge, and drink Mengpo soup.This is what the old people often say, and I never believe it.
And now that bridge is in front of me, and I'm going to walk across it and go to my other reincarnation.
On the side of the bridge, a slightly ugly old lady waved to me, and after I walked over, she handed me a bowl of soup, "Young man, I want to drink a bowl of Mengpo soup before crossing the bridge, forget the troubles of the previous life, and clean up." Pure to reincarnate."
"Grandma, a person died more than a year ago, did she also drink this bowl of soup, cross this bridge, and go to reincarnation?"
"Yeah, everyone has to drink the soup to be reincarnated."
I smiled, didn't ask any more questions, took a sip of the soup in the bowl, said goodbye to the old woman, and walked towards the Naihe Bridge.
I walked for a long time, looked back, and could no longer see
