When Luo Xi left, Concubine Hui's straight back collapsed. She protected her bulging belly with both hands, her brows furrowed and a hint of worry flashed through her eyes. She seemed to have talked a lot today. Luo Xi glanced at her when she just left. Her belly, what does that mean?
After passing the Crown Prince's Mansion, Lian Tianyan was walking in the garden with the Crown Princess when he suddenly received an oral order from the Emperor to enter the palace immediately.
In the main hall of the palace, Lian Qi was sitting on the dragon chair, his back looming. He was much older. He was obviously only forty-five years old, but now he looked like a sixty-year-old man. There were strands of white hair growing on both sides of his temples because he often frowned. The wrinkles forming the Chinese character Sichuan are no longer as majestic as before, and the whole face has collapsed.
"Father, what's wrong with you?" Lian Tianyan saluted and came to Lian Qi. He was also surprised when he saw Lian Qi's condition. However, it had only been five or six days since he saw his father. Why did his father become so old?
Lian Qi moved his mouth to say something, but the last thing he said was a sigh: "These days, I always dream about her. I dream about her coming to take revenge and kill me. I also dream about him. He always looks at me and says nothing." He didn’t say anything, he just looked at me, and I was so frightened that he didn’t say anything.”
Lian Tianyan took a deep breath and looked at Lian Qi to comfort him: "Father, don't think so much. It's just a dream and it can't be taken seriously."
"What do you know?" Suddenly Lian Qi shouted fiercely. His originally gloomy eyes instantly showed a sharp look, making his round and round face look a little ferocious.
Lian Tianyan was stunned for a moment. Na Lianqi seemed to be aware of his abnormality and his eyes flickered. He moved his gaze away and narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "I thought this might be a sign. I'm afraid that what I fear most will come soon."
"Father," Lian Tianyan called softly but was interrupted by Lian Qi raising his hand, "I already know the news from Jin Xi that Jinling Palace has reappeared, right?" [
Lian Tianyan visibly stiffened and pouted in anger, but finally remained silent. He spent a lot of effort to seal the news about Jinling Palace's reappearance and prevent it from flowing into the palace. Unexpectedly, his father still knew about it.
When Lian Qi saw that his son didn't speak, he knew it was true. He couldn't help but smile at himself, which made the wrinkles on his face deeper. "It seems that I am really old. Everyone in the world knows the news, but I am the last one to know." "Cough cough cough"
"Father!" Lian Qi suddenly coughed and Lian Tianyan held him up and kept stroking his back.
No matter how much Lian Qi loves this son, he is still the emperor after all. His power and majesty will never be allowed to be ignored by anyone. And this son he loves the most has hidden so many things from him, if he hadn't been dreaming these days. Feeling restless, I called in secret guards to inquire. I'm afraid he might not even know that Jinling Palace has reappeared until his death.
This is definitely a blow to him
"My father, I am also thinking about you. My child knows that you regret for what happened back then, but things have changed. My child, I hope that my father can live a comfortable life every day instead of living in regret and guilt all the time."
Lian Qi finally managed to calm down his coughing and raised his head to look at Lian Tianyan. There was something about him when he was young, but there were also shadows of someone else in his face. A hint of anger flashed through his eyes, and he suddenly raised his hand and waved it towards that face. " "Pah!" The crisp sound of slaps echoed in the sky above the hall for a long time before dissipating.
At this time, there were only two people in the hall, father and son. Lian Tianyan covered his face with a look of shock after being beaten on the left side of his face. You must know that no matter how strict his father was since he was a child, he never laid a finger on him. He was born to a queen, so he was arrogant and domineering, so he was named a prince on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony.
He thought that all this was achieved by his own ability, and nothing was difficult for him. But now his father beat him because of such a thing, which he couldn't accept no matter what.
"Father, I think you have done nothing wrong." With a plop, Lian Tianyan knelt at Lian Qi's feet, with a hint of stubbornness in his tone. "Back then, you caused Uncle Wang, his wife and children to be buried in the sea of fire because of a mistake. But after so many years, even if you are like an iron man, you are like father." It's time for the emperor to repent like this. The child thinks that the father should take national affairs as his own responsibility. Don't think about the past. Even if someone comes to seek revenge, the child will protect the father and will never let anyone harm a hair on the father. The emperor has not gone to court for three days. Canglan cannot help but ask your father to take good care of the dragon body and benefit Canglan."
Lian Tianyan said so many words in one breath and lowered his head slightly, waiting for Lian Qi to speak, but Lian Qi had already put away his ferocious face, and his whole face collapsed again. He lowered his head and looked at his son, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth. His internal organs felt even more bitter.
A lie can deceive people for several years
But the lie he weaved deceived his son for twenty-five years. Even the woman who once had a passionate love affair with him also weaved a web of lies to cover her son for twenty-five years. Five years?
What's ridiculous is that now his son is blocking his mouth with the lies he spun.
He didn't say anything, just let Lian Tianyan leave, and he got up and drove to Xiyan Palace, the queen's palace [
The original Queen's palace was Chaofeng Hall. The name Xiyan Hall was chosen by the Queen herself. As the name suggests, it is the name of a kind of flower. It is called gourd flower, also called morning glory. It blooms at dusk and withers in the next morning. It contains beauty and falls quietly. Only a woman with a bad life can use it. this word to describe
When the Queen wanted to change the name of Chaofeng Palace, he didn't object because in his heart he only felt deeply guilty for the Queen.
The Queen was the legitimate daughter of Liu Qinglian, the daughter of the Minister of Etiquette. At that time, he was still an idle prince. By chance, he fell in love with Liu Qinglian at the first sight at the birthday banquet of the old master. Among the rich ladies who are so charming that people can't take their eyes off her, she is the most unique, soft and pretty yet fresh and lovely.
He walked towards her and watched as her little face gradually turned red, like a peach stained with dew, which made his heart beat even more. Although he was a laid-back prince, he was not without ambition. In the same year, the emperor sealed him The crown prince and the other princes were given fiefdoms and princes in order to prevent them from having any unnecessary thoughts.
The other people went to the fiefdom obediently, but he did not leave and stayed in the palace in Kyoto.
Even though he didn't go to the fief, he secretly sent people to secretly raise funds in the fief. He only waited for the emperor's death before he started taking action.
