Reborn as King again

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn tigers also left, and the temperature dropped significantly.Soon, autumn went to winter, and it was the end of the year. This year, as usual, King Rui handed over a paperwork to invite Zuo to worship in Beijing. I knew he was just putting on a show this time. Play, let him stay in the fief.

Since I met King Rui for the first time since I was reborn, I began to slowly throw my spies into his fief, and even some of the people I arranged around him became his confidantes.To be honest, if I hadn't lived a new life, I wouldn't have noticed that King Rui had a rebellious heart. He thought he was very careful in doing things, but he would never have imagined that he would have already been lying in the grid I wove.

I'm waiting, I've been waiting all this time, when the time is right, I will take down King Rui.Just this year, news came from Huainan, the fiefdom of King Rui, that everything was ready and could be done at any time.Coincidentally, at this time, I also wanted to use the hands of King Rui to clean up the Liu family, so this year, I approved King Rui's request to go to Beijing to worship in the spring, so that I could witness a good show where he killed his grandpa with his own hands. .

For some reason this year, there has not been a single snowfall. Now it is the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and the weather is very cold and dry because there is no auspicious snow.Almost every palace has added several heaters.

After correcting the memorial, I counted from the imperial study room, obviously already wearing a thick tiger skin cloak, but I shivered, it was really cold.I remember that He Wenliu is very afraid of the cold, I wonder if he can survive in the cold palace this winter.

I will not go to He Wenliu, I will just stand there and wait for him to come, but He Wenliu's stubborn temper does not mean to bow to me at all, so in my heart, I really hope that He Wenliu will have a bad life in the cold palace, if he can't stand the cold palace Maybe he will obediently admit his mistake to me, but I can't see him suffering that much, and I don't like his sick appearance.All in all, I found that during He Wenliu's two years in the cold palace, I became a lot more contradictory.

"Your Majesty," Wan Fu followed behind me, and reported, "The slave has already ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs that there will be plenty of coal, stoves, and brocade quilts in the Leng Palace. You don't have to worry about Concubine Wen."

"You are quite diligent." Although the possibility is slim, I still hope that He Wenliu will obediently bow to me because he can't survive this winter. Now that Wanfu has ordered someone to send the things for the winter, this is a slim possibility No more, "Did I ask you to do this?"

"Slave deserves to die!" Wan Fu was stunned at first, and then immediately knelt on the ground pleading guilty: "Slave should not be foolishly trying to figure out the holy will, I beg the emperor to spare this slave, and this slave will order someone to go to the Leng Palace to get the things back." He turned his head while talking. Just call someone.

"Okay, I've sent it all away, so there's no reason to come back." I don't bother to argue with Wanfu, he's done the right thing, but He Wenliu's broken body, if he gets sick at this time, he will probably be sick for a whole winter , I will be the one who will be distressed at that time, I waved my hand and said, "I didn't blame you, get up."

Only then did Wanfu straighten his bloated body and stand up unsteadily.Continue to follow behind me, seeing that it is too cold, persuade: "Your Majesty, where are you going? No matter where you go, you should take the imperial chariot. There is a heater in the chariot, so you don't get cold."

"My body is not that weak," I said indifferently, "I just want to walk around."

After walking for about a stick of incense, I vaguely heard a burst of laughter not far away. I was quite familiar with that voice, my precious daughter Yun'er.

Since He Wenliu moved into the cold palace more than two years ago, and I deliberately separated Yun'er from him, Yun'er never paid attention to me again, let alone showed me a good face.

Among my children, only Yun'er dared to play tricks on me, and she did so because of her mental insufficiency, and I would not take my anger out on her, after all, I only have her as my daughter, so I will pamper as much as I can.These years, I didn't hand Yun'er over to other concubines to be raised, but let her live in the palace by herself like Li Chen, and I sent more eunuchs to take care of her, just play with her.

I followed the sound and saw two people sitting at the stone table under the elm tree in the small garden in front, one was Yun'er, and the other was actually Duanmuchen.

Steam was rising from the stone table. When I looked closely, there was a stove on top of which was a small pot. There were some meat and vegetables on the stone table. It seemed that the two of them were eating hot pot.

Duanmuchen and Yun'er were sitting on thick cushions. Yun'er smiled happily. It could be seen that she liked Duanmuchen very much. Li Chen, or Su Zhuowai who has been playing with her all the time, when they meet other people, they hide behind the inner prisoner who takes care of her in fear.

I don't know what method Duanmuchen used to win Yun'er's love, but I really like seeing their scene.Duanmuchen put a piece of mutton from the shabu-shabu into Yun'er's bowl, Yun'er seemed to be coquettish and said something to Duanmuchen, Duanmuchen smiled helplessly, and fed the piece of meat to Yuner himself.Suddenly, I could understand what Duanmuchen once said. He said that I was looking at another person through him, and at this moment Duanmuchen was also looking at the person he was thinking of through Yuner.

I didn't want to disturb them at first, but the little eunuch who served Duanmuchen's side serving dishes had sharp eyes and saw our group, so he quickly lowered his head and informed his master.

Duanmuchen looked in my direction, stood up immediately, and asked An to greet me.

Then I had no choice but to go forward, say hello, and said with a smile: "Concubine Chen is in a good mood, eating hot pot outside in the cold weather."

"Is the emperor willing to come together? That is to add a pair of chopsticks." Duanmuchen warmly invited.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Yun'er stood beside him, tugging at the hem of his clothes, shaking her head vigorously, unwilling to say anything.

Duanmuchen smiled awkwardly, afraid that I would get angry, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, in fact, Princess Yun'er is just afraid that the delicious food will be eaten away, not..."

I interrupted with a smile and said: "Don't worry, I don't mean to be angry. I know Yun'er's temperament much better than you. I just came to say hello, and I won't spoil Yun'er's interest. I will first After leaving, you continue to eat, but the weather is cold, so be careful not to catch a cold."

"Thank you, my Majesty, for your concern." Duanmuchen was somewhat relieved. Seeing that Yun'er was still unwelcoming, he patted her forehead and said, "Princess Yun'er, the emperor is leaving. Shouldn't you be saying hello to him?"

Although she was very unhappy, Yun'er still listened to Duanmuchen's words, bowed to me and said, "Father, go slowly."

I was flattered immediately, this was the first time Yun'er spoke to me actively in more than two years, although the words meant to drive me away.

When I returned to Qianlong Palace, I asked someone to inquire about it. It turned out that for some reason, Yun'er has been entangled with Duanmuchen recently, and always likes to play with him.In the past, Yun'er used to pester Li Chen to play, but now that Li Chen is working in the Ministry of Etiquette, he might not have the time to spare, so Yun'er went to find Duanmuchen.Duanmuchen's character is very similar to He Wenliu, it's only natural that Yun'er likes him.

Years later, at the beginning of February, King Rui, who had been with Jia Wanru in Nanshan, had to pretend to be from Huainan, and went to Beijing to worship.I'm safe.The eyeliner next to King Rui and Jia Wanru told me at the same time that Jia Wanru also returned to the capital with King Rui and lived in King Rui's hotel.

If I send a group of people to break into King Rui's Mansion now, maybe we can find Jia Wanru, but after that, at most, Jia Wanru will be killed and King Rui will be demoted. Doing so will only scare the snake away.King Rui is a vassal king. If he is forced to use troops, he will not only suffer resistance, but also cause dissatisfaction from other vassal kings. If King Rui joins forces with other vassal kings, then I will have a headache.I want to abolish King Rui, but I don't want to lose a single soldier for it.

On the day of accepting the pilgrimage, I looked at King Rui in the hall. He was still so energetic and respectful to me. No one could see his ambition at all. I smiled and asked him to stand up and told him that we are brothers, so there is no need to talk too much. Li, do you have to act enough?

One day in mid-February, seeing the weather was fine, I went to Fengyi Palace to invite Zhou Ling out of the palace.Zhou Ling was naturally very happy to accept the invitation.Because it’s not long before the Chinese New Year, there are still new couplets and window grilles pasted on the doors of every household, which looks very festive.

I dragged Zhou Ling around on the street, and the small vendors who had newly set up stalls were shouting on the side of the street, and there were some jugglers on the street, which was very lively.Zhou Ling and I looked at this and that at the hawker stall, and felt that everything was new.At this moment, a familiar figure walked past us, Jia Wanru's personal maid, Tao Qing!

Since I saw it, Zhou Ling must have seen it too!

Sure enough, Zhou Ling tugged on my sleeve and said, "You...have you seen it? That person..."

"Who did you see?" I deliberately pretended to be ignorant, looked around and said, "Have you seen someone you know? Who is your lord?"

"I..." Zhou Ling's complexion changed, and he finally shook his head, saying, "It's because I'm dazzled, maybe I'm tired from walking for a long time."

"Are you okay?" I pulled him towards the side of the road, so as not to be hit by people coming and going, "Why don't we find a place to rest."

Just as we were walking towards the side of the road, Zhou Ling saw again, Taoqing was on the other side of the street, and seemed to be shopping with small vendors.

When we came to the side of the road, Zhou Ling's complexion was very bad, he held his temples, and said goodbye to me: "I'm dizzy, I feel a little uncomfortable, can I go back to the palace first?" , see the imperial doctor?"

"Then I will go back with you." I looked worried.

"No need," Zhou Ling hastily declined, "I don't want to disturb your interest, so I just let my eunuchs go back with me."

"That's fine," I said, "Be careful on the road." I separated from Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling made an excuse to say that he was not feeling well and wanted to go back to the palace first, that was definitely a lie, because he saw Taoqing, Jia Wanru's trusted servant girl, but he didn't dare to tell me, for fear that he might be mistaken , made me feel that he was provoking my relationship with Jia Wanru, so I had to make sure first.I think Zhou Ling left in such a hurry because he wanted to follow Taoqing's trail.You know, everyone in the palace now thinks that Jia Wanru is in Nanshan, and all her personal servants have followed, how could one of them suddenly appear in the capital? !It's hard not to be suspicious, isn't it? !

On the surface, that Taoqing was working for Jia Wanru, but in fact it was me who arranged it.The eyeliner next to Jia Wanru, her appearance today was ordered by me to let Zhou Ling see her deliberately appearing in front of us. I just wanted to make Zhou Ling suspect that Jia Wanru did not go to Nanshan, and her relationship with King Rui relation.

The author has something to say: Xiaoyu has a foreshadowing about Tao Qing being the eyeliner of the scumbag emperor (this foreshadowing has been buried for a long time~)
