This chapter is a bit like Xia Yunshen's extra chapter. It also explains some clues. You can choose whether to subscribe or not.
When Xia Jie was telling Yifang the reason why Hua Piaoxue could not be trusted, in the study room of the Prince of the East Palace, ministers and counselors were kneeling on the floor.
He didn't refuse, he just sat in silence.
A general climbed out and said: "Your Highness, if you still cannot make up your mind, your grand plan will fail."
Xia Yun raised his eyes deeply and looked at the general who was speaking. He vaguely remembered that this man was recommended by the Hua family. He raised his finger and said without changing his expression: "Gu said that these things are state affairs and have nothing to do with the harem!"
"Your Highness, this is not a harem matter. Concubine Yi has recovered from the poison in her body and is pregnant again, but Your Highness is still childless. If Concubine Yi gives birth to a prince, how can Your Highness fight against the Emperor? Then, wouldn't it be a failure?
…”
"No need to say any more!"
Xia Yunshen raised his hand, and there was already violence hidden between his eyebrows!
For some reason, when he heard the words Concubine Yi was pregnant, his heart ached!
The woman in his heart is pregnant, but she is not his flesh and blood, but his cousin. How ridiculous. But these people in front of him want to force him at this time or favor the concubines of the East Palace as soon as possible and give birth to children as soon as possible.
, or find a way to get rid of her child! No matter which one it is, he cannot accept it, whether it is to hold other women, leave his essence and blood in their bodies, or to hurt her!
"Your Highness!"
Several generals knelt on the ground and kowtowed!
They are really anxious, or they usually have different political parties, and of course their proposals are different. But at this time, no matter whether they are from the Hua family or not, they all hope that the prince can release the prince and give birth to a legitimate son with the prince.
This has nothing to do with winning over the Hua family. The most important thing is that the courtiers in the court who support the prince's family can no longer sit still. One is the emperor's uncle who has become the emperor's prince, and the prince has been childless for many years. Such a prince, let alone
If he ascends the throne as emperor in the future, even if he wants to keep his position as prince, he still lacks convincing credentials.
No child, no child!
If the prince really dislikes the princess, at least there are countless beauties in the East Palace. The prince should sleep with the famous concubines in the East Palace and give birth to a son. If there is no legitimate eldest son, the eldest son of the concubine can solve his urgent need!
In the past, in order to take into account the relationship with the Hua family, and for the sake of the Crown Princess's face, she could not let the concubines be born in front of the legitimate sons, so the Crown Princess no matter what she did with the concubines in the East Palace, whether they were pregnant, aborted or something else, the Crown Prince did not care, they
The people under these hands don't care either.
But things are different now, the situation is pressing.
Now that the prince and the princess have no room for maneuver, the Hua family has no choice but to stick to the prince's side. However, the prince still refuses to have children with the concubines of the East Palace. Even in the past year, almost
The backyard of the East Palace has disappeared, how can this be done?
What's more important is that the people under them didn't know until this morning that the prince secretly went to rescue Concubine Yi with the emperor without telling them yesterday!
The Crown Princess's loud quarrel in Longyang Palace was known to almost everyone in the court, and they were not unaware of it, but they had always thought that it was just a fuss made by the Crown Princess after her miscarriage.
After all, the prince has a heavy burden and has seen stunning beauty. Maybe he just saw Concubine Yi's face and fell in love with her for a moment, but he will definitely not miss the important matter. However, it seems at this moment, I am afraid that is far from the case.
.
What a joke. The East Palace and the emperor have long been mortal enemies, but the prince happened to fall in love with the emperor's favorite concubine at this time, and risked his life to save people. How is this possible!
Thinking of all these things, all the generals wished they could rush to Longyang Palace and skin and dismember the enchantress who had confused the prince. In the end, they endured their anger and knelt here, hoping that their wise master would think of it in time.
clear.
The light of day slanted in and shone on the people in the room. Xia Yun looked deeply at the faces below and heard the thumping sound of kowtows. He sighed softly, raised his right index finger and said lightly:
"You all go down."
"Your Highness!"
Someone wanted to say more but was frozen on the spot by Xia Yunshen's piercing eyes.
"Go down, I have my own plan!"
Most of the people who came today were military generals. They were also the biggest support given by Emperor Jing'an to Xia Yunshen. They were all very straightforward. After hearing Xia Yunshen's words, they felt that this was not a clear answer and refused to retreat. However, Qingshan layman stood up and said
One sentence.
"Everyone, please go back first. I'll stay here to talk to His Highness."
These people all know the importance of layman Qingshan in the heart of the prince. He is the most capable and trustworthy confidant left by Emperor Jing'an for the prince. When they heard what layman Qingshan said, they all placed their hopes on him. They all expressed their gratitude to layman Qingshan.
After hugging his fists, he resigned and left.
After everyone left, layman Qingshan looked at Xia Yunshen's body half-hidden in the shadows and sighed deeply.
"Shen'er, is it worth it?"
Xia Yunshen has not heard this title for a long time. In his memory, it seems that since he was officially canonized as the prince, this old man who has been by his side and taken care of him since his enlightenment, an old man with both talents, is no longer useful.
He was called by such an affectionate name. At this moment, when he heard it, he felt a sense of sadness as time passed.
"Master." Xia Yunshen's voice sounded like a lingering depression, which permeated the room and made people feel cold in their hearts.
Qingshan layman felt a terrible pain in his heart. He had promised that person to take good care of the child he had brought up. But now, he has become like this for a woman. What a bad fate! If he had known it, he would have suspected it at the beginning.
Why did he send himself to the Dou family to treat Mrs. Hua? He should have taken action in time to block this relationship, and there was no need to wait until now when the love is deeply rooted and it is too late to regret it.
Just as Qingshan layman was thinking this, he heard Xia Yunshen ask quietly, "Master, when you promised my mother to stay in the palace and watch over the child she had with someone else, you also had to educate the child."
How did you feel when you became a man? When you watched my father go to my mother's palace, would your heart be as painful as mine now?"
When Qingshan layman heard Xia Yunshen's question, a deep pain suddenly appeared on his face.
"It doesn't hurt, but it was your mother's choice. At first, your mother chose your father and married into the palace. Later, your mother was left out and sent to the cold palace. I said I would take her away, but she said
There is still you in this palace, and she cannot bring shame to your father, so she begged me to stay and take care of you. At that time, I wished I could rush to Longyang Palace and take him to the cold palace while he was drinking and having fun with his concubines.
But I still can only swallow my anger and stay with the pain in my heart. Use all my talents and skills to gain your father's trust, and then find a way to let him send me to your side, and then carefully watch you grow up, not letting
Someone else hurt you."
When layman Qingshan talked about this past event, his eyes filled with a layer of mist like smoke.
How many years have passed since she entered the palace, and he followed her there. On the first night, when she had a wedding with someone else, he stayed on the roof, looking at the stars in the sky, laughing until she shed tears. She traveled with others
When he was in the imperial garden, he hid in the dark and watched quietly. After reading it, he downed the wine in sips. When she was pregnant, he ran around in and out of the palace, secretly adding all the precious medicinal materials to her food.
There, he made sure that she gave birth to the baby safely. On the night when she gave birth to her son, even though he knew that the baby was the blood of another man, he couldn't help but sneak in, hold the newborn baby in his arms, and kiss her again and again. Finally, he couldn't help it.
When she arrived in the cold palace, he appeared in front of her and wanted to take her away, ensuring that there would be no further trouble.
But she told him categorically that she was born as a member of the royal family and died as a ghost of the royal family. The relationship between her and her childhood sweetheart had long been forgotten by her.
His heart was cut by a knife, but he still couldn't bear the heartache. He was defeated in front of her tears and willingly stayed in the palace and became a capable minister beside the emperor who stole his lover!
Because of the situation at that time, another person was the crown prince. If he could not help the emperor to protect the country, then her child, Shen'er, would not survive in the future.
How ridiculous. His reputation is known all over the world. Not only in Daxia, but also in other powerful countries, there are countless people holding gold, silver, jade, wealth, and asking him to be prime minister or marshal. He just did it for her.
The man, in the court of Daxia, fought hard with the prince named Xia Jie to keep Shen'er's position as prince.
This stay was nearly thirty years, and including the days he lurked in the palace, it was a full thirty-seven years! People at the time said that he was loyal to Emperor Jing'an, but who knew that he just wanted to be loyal to Emperor Jing'an?
own heart.
He spent so many years of waiting for her to live up to her in the afterlife before she died. He spent so many years of painstaking cultivation, but he had to watch Shen'er, whom he spent his whole life cultivating, go on the same path as he did back then!
Thinking of this, layman Qingshan felt chills all over. No, no, no, it was too painful for him to walk through this road. He must not let Shen'er be the same as him. What's more, the road he took was just a lifetime of talent and ambition.
Showing up in this deep palace, it's ups and downs, but in the end you can always wait for a vow!
But Shen'er is different. If Shen'er takes this path, he will definitely give up everything for that woman. If he gives up everything, he can only wait to be put on the chopping block by others. What's more, that woman doesn't even have him in her eyes, even if it means death.
No, that woman's oath will only be left to the current emperor.
Thinking of this, he took a quick step, pressed Xia Yunshen's shoulders fiercely, and said sternly: "Shen'er, you have to remember that she is the emperor's concubine, and you should understand that no matter what the future situation is with the emperor, who will win?
No, she can’t even be yours!”
Xia Yunshen knew this fact, but he had always maintained a weak illusion. At this time, this illusion was torn apart by the person he trusted the most with the strongest and most ruthless force. He had a cold look on his face and asked loudly
Said: "Why can't I? If I win and Xia Jie dies, she will be mine!"
Qingshan layman did not expect that he really had such an idea, and he shouted it out without any scruples. He even called Xia Jie directly, which showed that this thought was too deep. He sneered and said: "It's you
What, she now has the flesh and blood of the emperor in her belly. Needless to say whether you are willing to abort it or not, with the emperor's protection of her, this child will not let anything happen. If you win, this child will be a disaster.
You will definitely get rid of her with your own hands in the future. At that time, she can still turn to you. Even if you don't get rid of this child, who will inherit your empire in the future? You value her so much now, even the concubines in the backyard
Her face is gone, what about the future? Do you want her to give you another child? Shen'er, don't be stupid, what is her identity? If you hide her, it's still feasible, but when the time comes, the child she gives birth to will...
Even if you have a bad name and cannot ascend the throne, if you want to have a child with another woman and inherit the throne, you can do it. Even if you can do it, the woman who gave birth to the prince can tolerate you having a child outside.
Such a beloved pet! How will you explain it to all the people in the world when the time comes?"
Xia Yunshen was so shaken by this series of words that he sat down on the chair with a pale face.
However, Qingshan layman still felt that it was not enough, and added: "When you asked me to diagnose Mrs. Hua, I said that my identity was only known to the old ministers your father left for you. The world wants to find me.
There are really too many. If you let me go, aren't you afraid that the Dou family and the Hua family will find clues and be more wary of you? But what did you say at that time? You said that I, the emperor's uncle, look at this newly sealed
Concubine Yi, her eyes are very different. Selling a favor to Concubine Yi will definitely be beneficial in the future. It will also bring us closer to the Dou family. Even if my uncle knows about it, I feel that you are still with me.
Such a capable person would at least doubt Concubine Yi and disturb the mind of my imperial uncle. Once a man is moved and confused, he will easily make mistakes. The words are still in my ears, Shen'er, I believed what you said at that time,
I just went to Dou's house and extended her mother's life. But now, look, you are the one who is worried about her!"
"Master, stop talking!"
Xia Yunshen's eyelids drooped, the corners of his lips turned white, and his whole body was almost trembling.
Qingshan layman smiled coldly and said sarcastically: "Don't say it, don't say anything, don't say that you knew the Bi family's conspiracy at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, but you still went out to rescue them, and you still had to act like you were not letting the emperor
With a suspicious look, it's better not to say that after you knew that there was poison in Zangyi Palace, you called your secret guards and led the emperor's people to find Murong Yi early, and then led him to Dou Zunian. Murong Yi, who knew the poison,
A master of detoxification was sent to the palace to protect her safety. It is better not to tell you that after I told you the news that Xia Jue might be hiding in the Dou family, you quietly sent someone to confirm it and deliberately found someone to stimulate Xia Jue and make Xia Jue
Thinking of the resentment he had with the Bi family earlier, he acted impulsively and took the initiative to remove the poison from her body! Or let me not tell you that you personally arranged Mrs. Hua's poisoning, forcing her to do it herself
I came to you so that you could force her to secretly communicate the information. After everything was settled, you ruined this arrangement with your own hands. You did not hesitate to stab your own secret guards and act like an assassin in the imperial garden to protect her.
Qingming, or..."
"Enough!"
With a bang, Xia Yunshen swept away the inkstone next to him with one hand, leaned on the back of the chair, raised his head, and looked at the carved beams and painted buildings above his head with a gloomy expression. The room was silent for a while. After a while, Xia Yunshen said in a low voice: "Master, I
I know, I know that I have done a lot of things that I shouldn't have done along the way, but I have no choice, there is really no choice."
Xia Yun closed his eyes deeply, the corners of his eyes were wet.
"Whenever I think about the fact that she is in this palace, there are always people who want to harm her, and there are always people who want to kill her, I wish I could kill all those people, and I don't know why.
When did it start like this?" He stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brow feebly, as if he wanted to rub away all the pain, but in the end all the pain was condensed into the softest part of his heart.
With a violent tremor, I felt that all the strength in my body had been exhausted.
After a while, he could only murmur one sentence, "Master, originally, I just wanted to use her as a pawn." Who knew that in the end, he became his own pawn.
Qingshan layman sighed again. He spoke to this point, to the point of the most hatred and despair, and spread out all the past in front of Shen'er, just to let the child clearly see what he had done in the past.
How stupid things are, and how useless they are. What should belong to others will ultimately belong to others.
But seeing Shen'er's look like this, clearly seeing everything clearly, but still walking down to his death happily, he couldn't help but feel desolate. He and Shen'er were not biological father and son, but they were better than biological father and son.
.
Shen'er is so like him, he is very good at martial arts and martial arts. On the surface, it is Xia Jie, the emperor, who holds everything in the East Palace in his hands. In fact, it is Shen'er who is willing to spread the news.
Everything seems true or false, Shen'er has excellent control over these. Under such strong pressure from Xia Jie, he still insists on being undefeated.
But when it comes to the love letter, Shen'er is still like him, even if he knows that there is an abyss ahead, he will jump down without hesitation.
I originally wanted to be a chess piece. How much helplessness does this sentence contain? Silly boy...
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but couldn't help but shake his head. Looking at Xia Yunshen's appearance, he finally said melancholy: "We'll talk about the future in the future. You can't take the risk of personally saving her."
.But there is one thing, you have to promise me, no matter what, you must let the woman in the backyard give birth to an heir as soon as possible. No matter the position, whether it is a concubine or a concubine, you must have an heir. Otherwise, those who stand on the side of the house must have an heir.
All the courtiers in the Eastern Palace will defect."
When he said this, layman Qingshan's tone already contained an irrefutable sense of oppression.
Seeing that Xia Yunshen still closed his eyes and said nothing, just like a puppet, Qingshan layman took a breath and said bitterly: "If you don't want to find them by yourself, I will find a way to let you into their house, Shen'er, you
Think about it."
If it really didn't work, he could only take medicine. Qingshan layman glanced at Xia Yunshen and saw that his face was pale, but there was a sad smile on his lips at this time. He shrank in his heart, turned around and walked out. When he left, he
The door to the study room closed silently, shutting off the brightness of the room.
I went out to eat, and when I came back, I quickly coded and delivered 5,000 words.
