[Comprehensive] Empress Variations

The Jiaofang Hall still has the same exquisite and elegant decorations, but the most important person is missing.Because the owner of this palace makes him feel nostalgic here, and now things are still there and people are gone.

Even if the scenery didn't change in the slightest, when he walked in, he wouldn't feel any sense of belonging in his heart.Even, it will make him feel scared.

Liu Xun sat on the main seat of the Jiaofang Hall, stroking the corner of the table in front of him with his fingers.In memory, the two of them always overlap here, so close that there seems to be no distance.Only they know that what was said between the ears and the temples was not sweet words.

At first, I even repelled such closeness, but I don't know when I got used to it.I am used to hugging people in her arms when she is present, I am used to the cool temperature spreading on my body, and then use my own body temperature to warm it up.

The temperature is not like ordinary people, it is easy to like the touch from the beginning.It's a pity that he was blinded by the other party's identity after all.If she kept hanging the plaque of the enemy on her body, even if her heart had already deviated from the track, it would be easy for herself to turn a blind eye.

One leaf blinds the eye.

What's more, he put this blinding leaf in his eyelids with his own hands.He thought that he was only wary of Huo Chengjun, and that the relationship between the two of them was more about acting.When I am obsessed with my identity as a play, how can I distinguish between the inside and the outside of the play? !

True and false, false and true.The relationship between them has never been pure, and it was a wrong start to contact with impure purposes at the beginning.At first he built the stage, but she decided most of the repertoire.

Huo Chengjun seemed to like seeing him angry, or he just didn't like him taking everything into his own hands.Relying on her own status, she didn't have much fear of him, the emperor.Start a series of pranks, with the purpose of changing his face.

That's right, in the eyes of Liu Xun now, what Huo Chengjun once said was true or false, more like a girl's prank.Otherwise, why would she try so hard to make him achieve his goal in the end?

Even if it sometimes makes the heart stop suddenly, it will always turn around at the last moment.He used enough patience to adapt and get used to it, even though he thought he was cautious and cautious at the time.

Every helplessness is always mixed with imperceptible pampering.Perhaps helplessness is an emotion that is too easy to feel, so other emotions appear less clear under its cover.

For four years, he thought that everything had not deviated from the track he had planned.Liu Xun seems to be the same Liu Xun who was only thinking of dealing with the Huo family back then, and Huo Chengjun seems to have always been Huo Chengjun who he can abandon at any time in his eyes.

He once thought about planning a better ending for her because of Huo Chengjun's cooperation for so many years, but he never thought of giving up the plan for her.Even, he never thought that Huo Chengjun was suitable for the position of his queen.

Until Liu Shi's Nine Poisons quenched his body.

That was really a dream opportunity, but it was foolishly regarded by everyone as a life-and-death crisis.

In fact, it's no wonder others, Huo Chengjun has always been thoughtful.After all, this is a prank started by her, so how can it be seen clearly by others so easily?Even an emperor like him cannot escape her calculations.

The prank this time was much bigger than before, and it even started planning from the day she entered the palace.Raising soldiers for a thousand days is only for using them for a while.It took four years to occupy a place in Liu Shi's heart, and let him willingly take the medicine with no known curative effect, which became the beginning of this big drama.

Liu Shi trusts her very much, and with the feelings he has learned in four years, even when he knows that he has been 'harmed', he will not think of calling for help at the first time.The pain of being betrayed is more than the fear of death.He even suspected that even Liu Xi's expression came from her early design.

Peach trees support people. It is said that the scene of peach blossoms in full bloom in the mountains will be a holy place for peach blossoms.

Peach trees are now his taboo, who made her choose peach leaves as clues?Huo Chengjun just wanted to lead him to suspect her as a murderer.The emperors in history seem to be generally extremely confident, so confident that they are almost arrogant.I am afraid that what I have discovered and what I believe to be the truth cannot be explained by anyone.

Huo Chengjun didn't explain, she voluntarily admitted that she was the one who poisoned the prince Liu Xi, and she did the harm.In the eyes of others, this is probably a helpless frankness after the truth cannot be concealed.

Huo Chengjun probably would not have expected that he, Liu Xun, might be confident when facing others, but he never had much confidence when facing her.In particular, he discovered his trust in Huo Chengjun at that moment.This made him question his judgment.

He is also willing to use time to prove his doubts.

Nine days.

Nine poisons quench the body.

It is also the number of extreme nine.

It took him nine days to know the truth, the medicine was indeed given by Huo Chengjun, and even the medicine was a well-deserved poison.However, poisons are not necessarily harmful to the human body.Nine kinds of poisons are enough to kill people directly, but when mixed together, they are the magic medicine that people can't ask for.

He guessed right what Huo Chengjun was thinking, and couldn't hide his complacency.He may have really won once, but he also lost a complete defeat.He guessed wrong one crucial point, which was Huo Chengjun's purpose.

Just when he happily wanted to tell Huo Chengjun that he knew everything, news of the Queen's suicide came.

He hoped it was another prank.

But alas, it wasn't a prank.

Everything she has done since entering the palace will eventually conform to his wishes.But this time, it was thousands of miles away from his wish.

The warm nephrite that was still in his arms one moment turned into a cold corpse the next moment, seeming to take away all the warmth from his body.He couldn't see his original complexion, but he also knew that his complexion should be ugly at that time.

What is Huo Chengjun's purpose?He originally thought that Huo Chengjun was trying to atone for other people's crimes, but finally he found out that the medicine Liu Xi had taken was not harmful to his body.That being the case, there is no need for anyone to make amends, and Huo Chengjun's purpose is worthy of deliberation.

In fact, what she wants is very simple.All she wanted was her own death.

If he really thinks that Huo Chengjun poisoned Liu Shi, even if he buys the wine himself, it is possible to see her off.However, he didn't do that, so Huo Chengjun ended it on his own.

There are really people who want to die in this world.

Liu Xun had never met other people, so he didn't know if those who wanted to die must have no plans.However, Huo Chengjun only used her life as a bargaining chip.

Liu Xun was immersed in the grief of her death at that time, and didn't think about it immediately.However, when Huo Chengjun's body was still cold, something happened that made it impossible for him to avoid it.

He always knew that the Huo family who lost Huo Guang was a tiger whose teeth had been pulled out.But the ferocity of this tiger is still there.

With Huo Chengjun favored in the palace, they would not act rashly.But now that Huo Chengjun is gone, they seem to have no one to rely on in the palace.Huo Xian told some members of the Huo family that she had poisoned Xu Pingjun, which made people sleepless.

It seemed that Liu Xun would attack them the next moment.Once such thoughts appear, they can no longer be suppressed.Huo Yu, Huo Yun and others from the Huo family decided to act in advance.For them, this time is also a good time.

The story of Liu Xi's poisoning was widely circulated in the palace. After he was quenched by the nine poisons, he needed to rest for a period of time and did not appear in front of people.But everyone knew about him, although it was not specific, but there was a general idea.

Empress Huo Chengjun let Liu Xi take a medicine that was beneficial to the body, and the prince's qualifications were improved a lot under the transformation of the medicine.But the sky was jealous of her beauty, and Empress Huo Chengjun was mistaken for poisoning the prince. Unwilling to be humiliated, she slayed herself and died.There are even loyal ministers and righteous men, who will add a sentence "quite like a father" after that.

Because of Huo Chengjun's "righteousness", the Huo family has been very lively in recent days.Even the courtiers who looked down on the Huo family the most in the past would come to visit.In other people's minds, the Huo family at this time is the least likely to be unfavorable to the royal family.

In the eyes of the Huo family, the most unlikely time is the safest time.At this time, Liu Xun would probably not have any precautions against the Huo family.

Thus, the Huo family launched a coup.

At this time, Huo Chengjun's body had not yet entered the imperial mausoleum, so it was true that his bones were not yet cold.

Liu Xun had already made arrangements for the Huo family. Even though he spent more time busy with Huo Chengjun's funeral, his previous arrangements still worked.The Huo family came aggressively, but their preparations were a bit hasty, and finally fell apart under the situation that Liu Xun had arranged long ago.

The Huo family, which had always been a shadow in his heart, was crushed in this way.At this moment, Liu Xun remembered.No matter what design Huo Chengjun makes, the final result will always be as he wished.It has always been his wish to eradicate the Huo family.

He has always had concerns. Huo Guang made great achievements when he was alive, but he can also be regarded as a loyal minister.The Huo family is naturally a family of loyal ministers.If there is no major fault in such a family, he can only be a temporary ninja.

He thought about using some kind of eyesight to make the Huo family make mistakes, but he never thought about making the Huo family make such a heinous mistake.Although Liu Xun is an emperor, it is impossible for him to know everyone's thoughts.

Huo Chengjun, she is from the Huo family, so she has some understanding of the Huo family's thinking.I'm afraid that some members of the Huo family have long been disobedient.With Huo Chengjun in one day, they can look forward to a child with the blood of the Huo family.But after Huo Chengjun passed away, they really had no hope.Even feel that there is a possibility of being excluded from the rights of Dahan Center.That's why they do it.

Huo Chengjun knew this all along, and she used herself as a bait to lure the entire Huo family into the bait.He is really kind to his husband.Some people may think that she is cruel to the Huo family.

He still remembered that Huo Chengjun had said more than once that she was a child of the Huo family, and she had the blood of the Huo family on her body.This sentence used to displease him the most, but now it sounds very meaningful.

After Huo Chengjun provided him with so much convenience, how could Liu Xun kill the entire Huo family?Huo Chengjun once said that if one day he owed her a name, he would need to exchange it with another life.

She said this sentence for too long, so long that he didn't want to think about it.The year the two got married, she made a joke out of nowhere.Was it a prophecy, or was it premeditated?

He used to think it was just a joke, and he didn't know if there was any deep meaning in this sentence.If she really planned it long ago, then he probably understood that this was a very prescient remark.Huo Chengjun exchanged his life for him to keep a bloodline of the Huo family.

This is probably called, no break, no stand.

In his eyes, Huo Chengjun is a competent queen, and in the eyes of the Huo family, he should also be a proud heir.

Liu Xun got up and left the Jiaofang Hall.The gate of the Jiaofang Palace was tightly closed after he stepped out.The plaque of 'Jiaofang Palace' on the door is still shining, this is the place where women in the world most want to set foot, but now it seems to be covered with a layer of haze.

Liu Xun heard the door closing behind him, but he didn't look back.He stopped in his footsteps and looked at the bright moon in the sky.The pitch-black night made him feel lonely as always.

Only on nights like this would he come to the Jiaofang Palace.Because, no matter when she was alive or now.As long as night falls, she will not stay in the Jiaofang Palace because of him.

It was only natural that he couldn't see her in the Jiaofang Palace.On a sunny day, he would never set foot in the Jiaofang Palace.

She was never a good wife.

Heh, he is actually not qualified to say this sentence.

Because he, Liu Xun, was never a good husband.

He may be a fairly wise emperor and a successful father, but he will never be a good husband.

"Father." Liu Xi had already moved out of the courtyard where he had lived for four years. At this time, the palace where he lived was not far from the Jiaofang Palace, and he would come here occasionally.

Huo Chengjun died, the blow to him was not much less than that of Liu Xun.He even felt that it would be better if Huo Chengjun really harmed him as she showed.At least, he won't experience the death of a loved one again.

He even couldn't sleep again just like when Xu Pingjun passed away.Staring at the peach tree where no one would appear again, he was forced to move out of that yard by Liu Xun.Not seeing the peach tree, his mood stabilized a little.

Liu Shi is not like Liu Xun, there are traces of Huo Chengjun everywhere in the traces of life.However, he has been guided by Huo Chengjun.

Whether it is studying Legalist thought, or practicing martial arts and archery, a person's voice seems to appear subconsciously in the ear.That's all right, probably because Huo Chengjun taught him how to behave in the end, and he almost obeyed the imperial edict.

No matter who it is, he will subconsciously be vigilant.Except for Liu Xun, it seems that no one is qualified to gain his trust.That's right, it's not that he can't gain his trust, but that he doesn't have the qualifications.

How can someone who is not as good as Huo Chengjun gain his trust? !

There was a calamity in Liu Shi's heart that he couldn't get past no matter what.Over there, after he took the medicine, he said he trusted Huo Chengjun, but in fact he still didn't trust Huo Chengjun enough.Otherwise, how could he murmur her name with resentment while dreaming.

Liu Xun once told him that his mother, Huo Chengjun, wanted to die with all her heart.If you really say who is related to her death, it has nothing to do with Liu Shi, but Liu Xun.

Their father and son are actually facing the same hurdle.He placed the cause of his mother Huo Chengjun's life and death on himself, and Liu Xun took the responsibility on himself.They don't really care who it is related to, especially Liu Shi, who knows that it has little to do with him.

But so what?This is a catastrophe that they voluntarily cannot overcome, because they have no intention of going through it.

It seems that in this way, that person can connect with them more closely.that is it.

Liu Xun nodded at him, and he looked at Liu Xi with obvious treasure, as if seeing a treasure that he had kept for a long time.

This Liu Shi was taught by him with all his heart, and he has always valued it.But such eyes only appeared after Huo Chengjun's death.All the teachers around Liu Shi were arranged by him, and most of the courses were his preference.However, Huo Chengjun pushed the direction Liu Xi wanted to take in the future.

This made Liu Xun feel that Liu Shi was a work created by the two, combining his and her thoughts.This Liu Shi looked much more pleasing to the eye than usual.

Moreover, Prince Liu Shi is really excellent.Now that he has started to get in touch with the big man's affairs, his actions are particularly crisp and neat.He also has his own way of dealing with the ministers. Apart from being a little rusty, there is no other major fault.

Naturally, the children he and Huo Chengjun taught could not be defective.If Liu Shi really couldn't satisfy him, Liu Xun felt that he might have the urge to ruin him.Simply, Liu Shi is extremely good.

Liu Shi was used to seeing this kind of sight, and he even enjoyed it a bit.He knew that what satisfied Liu Xun was not himself, but something left in him.If it's someone else, it's probably disgusting.But Liu Xi enjoyed it very much. What remained on his body were traces of Huo Chengjun's carving.

"Father came here to visit the empress?!" Liu Xi glanced at the gate of Jiaofang Hall.In fact, the Jiaofang Palace in his memory was still the same as when Xu Pingjun lived in it.After the death of his mother, Huo Chengjun, his father would not let other irrelevant personnel enter it.

Apart from the servants Huo Chengjun used during his lifetime, there would be no other people in the courtyard.The Jiaofang Palace was like a cage, which engulfed the bodies of those slaves, but what was also bound inside was the heart of the emperor.

Only when he was in the court, his father looked a little high-spirited.When we met at other times, it seemed as if I had lost my soul.I am afraid that it has already been left in the Jiaofang Palace.

Liu Xi now calls Huo Chengjun 'mother queen', even though he called her sister for four years before.After he knew her true identity, he changed her name without any psychological burden.Xu Pingjun has a bloodline of friendship with him, and Huo Chengjun has a nurturing kindness to him.

Liu Xun always felt that calling him "sister" was not suitable for Huo Chengjun. He once thought about calling him "Teacher".But the prince's Taifu has never had a woman.Now this problem has been solved invisibly, the identity of 'mother' seems very close, and she is indeed someone who can teach him.

"Yes." Liu Xun replied.He didn't care that Liu Xi didn't salute him from the beginning to the end, and after examining Liu Xi for a while, he finally moved away.

Taking steps again, Liu Xun was obviously about to leave.But when he came to Liu Xi's side, he stopped suddenly. "How is Huo Nian?"

Liu Xun left a line of blood for the Huo family, to be precise, it was not just a line.He left behind a family that did not participate in the Huo family coup.After all, Huo Nian's parents were only in their teens back then, just reaching the age of marriage.What are the qualifications to participate? !

The reason why Liu Xun fell in love with them was because he was the closest to Huo Chengjun among those who did not participate in the coup of the Huo family, so he stayed under surveillance.Liu Xun didn't really care much about them.But since they gave birth to their eldest son, Huo Nian, this child has been raised in the palace.

Huo Nian, in fact, the Huo family couple wanted to name him Huo Nianjun.Now the two masters in the palace, how much they care about the former queen, almost the entire court knows.

The name 'Nianjun', in their view, is a token of Liu Xun's kindness to them. It will not only make the emperor and prince think about it, but also give his son a chance for his future. Why not?

It's just that they misjudged the thoughts of these two.As soon as this name appeared, it was rejected by Liu Xun.He obviously disliked such a name.Liu Shi didn't seem to have any joy either.

"Father, my son has always taught Huo Nian as his own son, so you don't have to worry about it." Liu Xi didn't know why Liu Xun paid so much attention to Huo Nian, but the only remaining blood of his mother, Huo Chengjun, was enough for him Pay attention to.He has decided to train Huo Nian to be his right-hand man.

If this Huo Nian is unqualified... There is a bit of danger in Liu Xi's vision.I believe that the couple will not have only one son, Huo Nian.

The blood of the Huo family cannot be tarnished.

No, it should be said that the blood of Huo Chengjun, the queen mother, cannot be tarnished.

"That's good." Liu Xun nodded and walked towards his bedroom.Between them, or Liu Xun right now, they don't have much in common with anyone.

Huo Nianjun...

When Liu Xun got along with Huo Chengjun, there was no Liu Xun. For Liu Xun, Liu Xun was a bit of an eyesore, so how could he tolerate other people.

Huo Chengjun, who could make him and Liu Xi's life completely intertwined, is no longer alive, and Liu Xi doesn't need him to teach now.Liu Xun watched the two go further and further away.

Liu Xun looked at Liu Xun's back and stretched out his hand to stop him, but in the end it turned into a sigh.But in his line of sight, there is worry that cannot be concealed.

Huo Chengjun's departure affected two people, he is better, father...

Liu Xun returned to his bedroom, and he lit the candle.He didn't look at the bed and couch for the first time, but sat down beside the bronze mirror.

There is only one person outside the mirror, but there are two overlapping figures in the mirror.

Liu Xun suddenly stretched out his hand and stroked the bronze mirror.The cool touch that it brings out seems to be somewhat familiar.There was a slight smile on his lips, and the people around Liu Xun were quite familiar with this kind of smile.

When Queen Huo Chengjun was alive, His Majesty often smiled like this.

Behind Liu Xun, a portrait swayed under the lights.Xu Shun and several other eunuchs stood beside the portrait, illuminating the whole portrait with oil lamps, carefully avoiding burning the portrait.

Liu Xun, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, was as wise as ever.But only those close to him know that besides still handling state affairs, he only lives in the memory of Queen Huo Chengjun.

Even lost himself.
