Having said this, Concubine Lan leaned forward again, leaned close to Bei Mingshuo's ear, and whispered her thoughts to Bei Mingshuo.
She wanted to send the Sixth Prince out to Huanqing Pavilion. She believed that her father must have a way to remove the poison from Jin'er. Even if there was no guarantee that Jin'er would be a normal person in the future, at least he would be able to do so.
One more year of his life is one more year.
Having said this, and this was the only way to save Jin'er, Bei Mingshuo did not refuse Concubine Lan. He agreed to Concubine Lan's request.
Without any delay, Bei Mingshuo quickly found his confidants and sent the sixth prince Bei Mingjin out of the palace overnight. He didn't even have time to hug the child.
The longer time passes, the more dangerous Jin'er's situation becomes.
When others came in again, Bei Mingshuo said that the sixth prince had unfortunately died in infancy and that someone had already sent someone to dispose of the body. Others did not say anything. After all, with so many people watching at that time, the sixth prince indeed had no breath at all.
Those who poisoned her did not expect that Concubine Lan would be pregnant with twins this time. They tried their best to poison her, but Concubine Lan did not die, and the fifth prince also survived safely.
They didn't know that all the poison they had given was absorbed into the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince's sacrifice resulted in the safety of the Fifth Prince and Concubine Lan.
All their hard work was in vain. They didn't even shake Concubine Lan's status a little bit.
On the seventh day after Concubine Lan gave birth to the prince, Bei Mingshuo held the funeral of the sixth prince.
The matter of Concubine Lan giving birth to a "stillborn child" was a scandal after all. In order to avoid any further rumors among the people, Bei Mingshuo had to find a more formal reason to silence the public.
Bei Mingshuo said internally that it was for the sake of the royal family's face, so he could only bury the sixth prince in a hurry. Moreover, he also issued a hush-hush order that no one was allowed to mention the fact that the sixth prince was stillborn.
Otherwise, he will be killed without mercy!
Externally, Bei Mingshuo claimed that the twins were unknown. In order to ensure the peace and health of the country, one of the twins must be sacrificed to heaven, and that person was the sixth prince.
This is exactly what Concubine Lan means. At this time, the power in Bei Mingshuo's hands is not very solid, and his throne is not stable. Rather than saying that he is the Ninth Five Supreme Being or an emperor, it is better to say that he is a
A puppet is a puppet. The instability of any force may push him out of power.
In order to survive and protect the people he wanted to protect as much as possible, Bei Mingshuo had to protect the face of those people. He had to do things against his will to protect the interests of those who hurt them.
Bei Mingshuo knew in his heart that if he really angered those people, they would definitely fight him to the death. Sadly, with his current strength, there was no way to compete with them.
Therefore, for the sake of those people and the face of the royal family, Bei Mingshuo could only endure it and let the sixth prince's matter end hastily.
Concubine Lan was right. At that time, Bei Mingshuo did not have the strength to find out the truth about the murder of the sixth prince. In other words, even if he did find out the truth about the matter, there was nothing he could do.
The only thing Bei Mingshuo can do now is to protect the people he wants to protect. Although he cannot bring all the evildoers to justice, at least now, he can at least let his son live well.
Bei Mingshuo is not stupid, but he is called a fool by everyone. He has tolerated so much, but he is called a fool by everyone, called him a waste of time as a father, scolded him for only caring about face, and called him ridiculous.
But fortunately, the ending of this matter was good, and that matter eventually developed as they expected.
Those people really believed it.
They really believed the rumor that the twins were unknown, believed that this emperor was really ridiculous, believed that he would do anything for the sake of the royal family's face, believed that the sixth prince had died less than an hour after he was born.
…
From then on, the only thorns in their eyes were the Fifth Prince and Concubine Lan.
After Concubine Lan's death, the "only" fifth prince of blood was pushed to the forefront...
"Did you hear that? This is the truth, this is what happened back then."
Bei Mingchen finished talking. These things had been pressing deep in his heart for a long time. Now that he finished talking, he felt a rare sense of relief in his heart.
From beginning to end, Shuojin listened attentively and did not interrupt Bei Mingchen at all, but his expression became more and more serious, as if he had aged ten years suddenly.
Shuojin really had no knowledge of the things Bei Mingchen said.
Seeing Shuojin's thoughtful look, his expression was so solemn, his brows were furrowed, and a rare look of guilt appeared on his usually cynical face. Bei Mingchen simply took this opportunity to continue to hit him.
"In order to save your life, my father had no choice but to send you out. This was the best way. They even paid any price back then just to save you."
Bei Mingchen bites the last few words very hard, and it can be said that every word is heartbreaking.
All the ridiculous things the emperor did back then were just to save Shuo Jin.
As an emperor, he has to bear the infamy and protect the sixth prince.
After hearing those words, Shuo Jin felt even more sad. He had never thought that the ridiculous emperor who even he wanted to laugh at turned out to be so ridiculous just for himself!
At this moment, Shuojin was breathing heavily, and his face was full of sadness. Now Shuojin only felt that he was the more ridiculous person.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it turns out this is all my fault."
Shuo Jin couldn't help but keep repeating his apology. At this moment, he felt as if something was blocked in his chest. His chest was so tight that it even made him breathless.
"Are there not many people you have apologized to?"
Bei Mingchen took advantage of the situation and said something else. Even when he saw that Shuojin was already so uncomfortable, Bei Mingchen still pressed forward step by step.
However, Bei Mingchen's unreasonable and unforgiving attitude still annoyed Shuojin. As soon as these words came out, Shuojin was pulled out of his previous emotions.
"Bei Mingchen, anyone can say something about me, but you have no right to say that!" Shuojin's eyes turned cold for a moment, and he yelled at Bei Mingchen angrily. "If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago.
!”
Shuojin's behavior really shocked Bei Mingchen. He didn't expect that the boy's temper was still so bad.
"Humph, then what qualifications do you have to lose your temper with me?" Bei Mingchen said unconvinced.
"Bei Mingchen, let me tell you, I don't owe you anything."
Shuojin's birth made his mother and concubine suffer, and his father was criticized by others. When he was young, he felt ashamed of his master's upbringing. He owed many people, but he owed nothing to his brother.
"Even if I did owe you something before, I have already died for you twice. Furthermore, do you dare to say that I was in danger every time because of you? Huh?" Shuo Jin took a deep breath.
, full of disappointment.
"I would rather that the person who died back then was me, even if I really die, I would be willing to do so!"
Bei Mingchen turned around suddenly and yelled at Shuojin, his eyes filled with terrifying murderous intent. These words indeed came from deep in Bei Mingchen's heart.
"Jin, do you know? Your death only resulted in your continuous beautification in everyone's hearts. Your death has become an eternal obsession in my father's heart!" Bei Mingchen glared at him angrily and said through gritted teeth.
With.
Bei Mingchen is ruthless. In addition, there is endless jealousy.
Speaking of this matter, Bei Mingchen became even more angry. Yes, Shuojin was right. Shuojin was a person who died twice. What was even more annoying was that Shuojin always let others worry about him.
Just because Shuojin once existed, others even turned a blind eye to Bei Mingchen, a living person.
"You know, even though you have been dead for so many years, everyone has not forgotten you at all. Instead, they miss you more and more."
After a long pause, Bei Mingchen sighed deeply. Looking back at Shuojin, Bei Mingchen felt that his own existence was pathetic.
"But, Bei Mingchen, do you know? You can stay with your father, emperor and mother all day and night. Do you know how much I envy you? What's wrong with you staying in the palace? Let
You are so unsatisfied!"
Hearing this, Shuo Jin also felt very disappointed. He slowly walked towards Bei Mingchen. Although he was questioning Bei Mingchen, there was a hint of choking in his voice at this moment.
Miss you? Are they the only ones who miss you?
Shuojin is also a human being. He was once a child. Like other children, he longs for the love of his parents. He also hopes day and night that his parents will come to see him, even if it is just for a moment. It is a pity.
, these are ultimately extravagant wishes for him.
"Haha, what if I stay with my parents all day and all night? It's not like they can't protect me."
Bei Mingchen sneered, then turned around slowly, avoiding Shuojin's burning eyes. He walked around the room, telling about his experiences over the years.
"My good brother, do you know that after you leave the palace, you can live a stable life and live a very comfortable life every day, but I have to live in fear all day and night in the palace?
.”
Although those things have passed for a long time, Bei Mingchen still feels that every scene is so real when he recalls it now. Every time he thinks of those scenes, he still feels shocked.
"If I'm not careful, someone might push me into the water; if I'm not careful, I might drink the soup that someone else drugged me with; someone might even want my head with a knife. I want it all the time.
Maintain a high degree of vigilance, I must be on guard at all times to prevent myself from dying in the next second..."
Although it has been a long time since those events happened one after another, Bei Mingchen still couldn't help but shudder when he thought about it now.
