Prince Regent's Concubine

At the same time, Ling Qingshi was awakened by knocking on the door of the Prince Regent's Mansion, and a dark voice outside the door reminded him to enter the palace today to pay his respects.

Ling Qingshi changed his clothes by himself, and waited for Xiao Chuyi to get dressed before opening the door. This master didn't know what was wrong with him, some maids insisted on dressing and putting on shoes for him.

"My lord, my concubine, breakfast is ready, please move to the front hall," An Yi said to Ling Qingshi respectfully as soon as the door opened.

Ling Qingshi pushed Xiao Chuyi out again, all the way to the front hall.

After breakfast, he went to the palace in a carriage. When the carriage reached the gate of the palace, he could no longer enter. He could only walk in with his feet. Xiao Chuyi was secretly carried off the carriage and put on a wheelchair, pushing him forward.

The summer sun is always fierce, but it is only in the morning but it is already a bit scorching. The big sun hangs in the sky as if it is going to melt the earth alive.

Ling Qingshi was a little uncomfortable. His body was already a little weak, and with the injuries all over his body, it was gradually difficult to walk under the scorching sun.

However, when they walked outside the Chengqing Hall where they usually have an audience with the emperor, they were stopped again. An eunuch stepped forward and saluted them, saying: "My lord, your majesty is still in the morning court, and I have important matters to discuss today so I can go down later, please." The prince is waiting outside the palace."

The eunuch said that he completely retreated to the door to guard, and asked Ling Qingshi and the three of them to stand in the open space outside the hall, waiting for the emperor to go in before going in to pay his respects.

Sweat dripped from his forehead one by one, fell on the ground and quickly disappeared, the scorching sun ruthlessly scorched everything on the ground, Ling Qingshi's face was quickly sunburned, sweat blurred his vision, everything in front of him changed It twisted, and the person staggered, almost falling.

Xiao Chuyi sat in the wheelchair and said a word, but when he realized that Ling Qingshi was about to lose his strength, his breath became a little cold, "Let's go!"

Xiao Chuyi uttered a word and asked An Yi to push the wheelchair away.

As soon as An Yi got on the wheelchair, the little eunuch who had just spoken came up again, "My lord, what are you doing, the emperor is in court, the top priority, you are not even willing to wait for this moment, and you are too disrespectful to the emperor." Put it in your eyes."

"It's not that you talk too much, my lord. You are no longer the regent king who wanted wind and rain. Naturally, you can't let everyone listen to you like before. The slave advises you to be more sensible and wait. In case the emperor blames you, you will suffer even more."

The eunuch said it was persuasion, but there was a slow sarcasm in his words, even the expression on his face became more sarcasm, obviously seeing that Xiao Chuyi was out of power and wanted to step on him.

"It is true that this king can no longer want the wind and the rain, but he wants the life of a little eunuch, An Yi!"

An Yi obeyed, drew the sword out of its sheath and pointed it at the eunuch, the eunuch also backed away in fear, "Regent, how dare you... ah..."

Before he finished speaking, the sword in An Yi's hand had already swung over, and directly chopped off his head.

The other guarding eunuchs and maids knelt down in fright.

However, at the next moment, the three of Ling Qingshi were heavily surrounded by patrolling guards in the palace, and one of the guards walked out, "The regent is really a big show, dare to kill people directly in the palace, have you killed the emperor?" In my eyes, I think it would be better for you to sit on the throne directly!"

As soon as the words came out, the guards surrounding them all pulled out their knives and looked at them vigilantly. If they made a slight movement, they would die immediately.

Xiao Chuyi bowed his hands to the little emperor who came out of the crowd, "I don't dare. It is true that I no longer assist the emperor in handling government affairs, but I am still a child of the royal family. If a little eunuch steps on my head and scolds me, I will not react at all." If you don’t have any, what’s the face of the royal family?”

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Uncle Huang's mouth is much smarter in the past. I think it was trained by his servants when he had nothing to do in the palace." The little emperor's face was sullen, but he could vaguely see a bit of sarcasm on his face. .

Xiao Chuyi didn't answer, the little emperor turned his attention to Ling Qingshi, "I heard that the emperor's uncle got married yesterday, what's the meaning of bringing a man into the palace instead of the emperor's aunt?"

"Back to the emperor, this is the one who was married by the prime minister's mansion. As for why she changed from a concubine to a concubine, I also want to ask the emperor to seek justice from the prime minister's mansion, and ask if the prime minister is also the same as before. Like a eunuch, he wants to put the face of the royal family on the ground."

The little emperor obviously wanted to protect the prime minister. He took a look at Ling Qingshi and said, "Uncle Huang is too worried. Ling is loyal to me and would never do such a thing. Just now, Prime Minister Lin told me in court, It was this concubine whose heart was higher than the sky, and knocked out his cousin on the sedan chair on the eve of her wedding. However, the prime minister was kind and didn't say to execute this rebellious concubine directly, but asked the uncle to send him back to the prime minister's mansion for him to deal with .”

"As for the cousin," the little emperor said, and glanced at Xiao Chuyi's lap, "the emperor's uncle is really not worthy of the cousin now, why don't I give you another marriage, or you will just let it go, Just live with this bastard who can't get on the stage."

The little emperor didn't pay much attention to Ling Qingshi, a concubine, but called Ling Caixuan his cousin. If there was no such thing as a relationship between a man and a woman, he wouldn't believe Ling Qingshi even if he killed him.

To be directly told by the little emperor that he was not good enough for Ling Caixuan was tantamount to humiliation to Xiao Chuyi, his hands on his lap were tightly clenched into fists, and he said after a long while, "The minister is just like the emperor's wish, and I will be with you." This bastard will live with him. But since this king has chosen this bastard, the eldest lady of the prime minister's mansion is something that this king discards and doesn't want, let's see who dares to take it!"

After Xiao Chuyi finished speaking coldly, the little emperor immediately lowered his face and snorted, wanting to sarcastically say a few more words to Xiao Chuyi, but he swallowed the words again, and finally waved his hand, "Okay, here you go!" After I finish greeting you, go and greet the queen mother yourself."

"Resignation," Xiao Chuyi saluted and bid farewell to the little emperor, but An Yi pushed the wheelchair and turned around, Ling Qingshi followed beside him.

But after walking a few steps, the little emperor stopped them again, "I hope the emperor will remember that I am the master of the world. I think the emperor's uncle is here to protect the face of the royal family, so I will not pursue the emperor's fault." , if there is a next time, I will never forgive you lightly!"

After the little emperor coldly warned, he waved his hand to make the guards back down, turned around and entered the Chengqing Hall. Just looking at his back, he could tell that the little emperor was very dissatisfied.

The sky was getting hotter and hotter, the top of his head was hot, his face was a little sore from the sun, and Ling Qingshi was a little staggering when he walked.

Xiao Chuyi asked Ling Qingshi to push the wheelchair for An Yi, and Ling Qingshi knew that it was borrowing strength for him, something that was supported would not fall down so easily.

The imperial palace is huge, and it is almost noon now, and it will take half an hour to walk to the Empress Dowager's Jianing Hall. After finally walking through under the scorching sun, the door was shut again.

The eunuch in charge of the Empress Dowager's Palace blocked the way and said, "The Empress Dowager just fell asleep, please wait outside for a while."

An Yi, who disappeared halfway, reported to Xiao Chuyi in a low voice after the eunuch in charge walked away, "My lord, the prime minister's wife, Mrs. Sun, went to the palace to meet the queen mother this morning."
