Chapter Fourteen: Going to bed, please, Concubine Fenggong
After Meng Ran dropped the stone in her heart, she moved lightly on her lotus steps and came to the table where the Eight Immortals were lying in bed. She sat across from Emperor Leng, picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of honeysuckle tea. She slowly handed it to Emperor Leng and said, "Your Majesty, please use it."
Tea."
Leng Di glanced at Meng Ran's indifferent expression, and took the tea cup with some displeasure. Looking at his reflection in the tea cup, Leng Di suddenly frowned. It seemed that this Bing Manling had really changed and was no longer the same as before.
That was so unruly. But even if her temperament changed, she was still Bing Zhiwen's daughter. He couldn't be kind to the old thief's daughter! Because the old thief was the murderer who caused his own mother and concubine to commit suicide!
His mother-in-law was originally a female palace doctor. Because she treated the Queen Mother with great care, the Queen Mother liked her, and then gave her to the late emperor as a concubine. The late emperor saw that she was virtuous and generous, and favored her for a long time. Soon,
Then she had him, and after giving birth to him, the late emperor liked her even more, because he was the first prince of the late emperor. This is the saying that the mother is more valuable than the son. Because of this, his mother-in-law was promoted to the third level.
From concubine to concubine, he was also named a prince when he was one year old! But how could the emperor's love last forever? When he was three years old, the late emperor rarely set foot in the palace of their mother and son.
Soon there were several more young princes in the harem, namely: the queen's son, Leng Hanliang, and Concubine Yun's son, Leng Hanshan. However, Concubine Yun's son died less than half a year after his birth, and Concubine Yun subsequently fell out of favor. Xiao
The imperial concubine's son: Leng Hanji. Leng Hanji also died early when he was three years old. As the princes died one after another, the late emperor also became nervous and wanted to investigate the cause of death of the princes in the harem.
The first year of Changyun, the three hundred and ninety-fifth year of Lengxiang. This year was definitely an extraordinary year for the young Leng Hanyi. He was eight years old that year, and it was also the season when purple roses were in full bloom. His mother-in-law
He jumped into the lotus pond and committed suicide. It was said that the mother-in-law committed suicide out of fear of crime. In fact, only the eight-year-old him knew the true story of the mother-in-law's suicide.
That year, the queen gave birth to a prince, who died in Feng Palace before the full moon was over. The late emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the harem. Since ancient times, it was not uncommon for concubines in the harem to fight for favor and assassinate the prince. But who would dare to touch the queen's son?
! Besides, she already has a prince, how could any concubine be stupid enough to assassinate her second son?! Unless the queen herself does not want this prince to live, and sacrifices this prince to bring down a concubine who threatens her son's throne.
.That concubine is Leng Hanyi’s mother-concubine—Zi Fei, Liu Ziyi.
When the late emperor conducted a thorough investigation into the Zifeng Palace where Concubine Zi and the young man Leng Hanyi lived, he found a purple rose in her palace courtyard. The purple rose alone was nothing, but when he checked the inner bedroom, he found that there was a purple rose on the table.
A plate of green fruits! Then, they captured the purple concubine and waited for the emperor to punish her. Everyone in the Lengxiang Kingdom knew that the fruit juice of the purple rose mixed with the green juice would become highly poisonous. The queen's second son died of this poison.
According to the queen's personal maid, the queen's second son also drank the ginseng milk sent by the purple concubine before his death.
The witnesses and material evidence were all there, but when the late emperor came, he ordered Concubine Zi to be released, but kept her under house arrest in Zifeng Palace. This incident caused an uproar in the harem and even the court. The ministers, headed by the left minister Bing Zhiwen, went to
The memorial demanded that Concubine Zi be thrown into the cold palace. The late emperor blocked the way because the crown prince was young and needed his mother's care. But then, the Prime Minister Zuo led his ministers to kneel down in front of the palace and threatened. The late emperor had no choice but to have Concubine Zi beaten.
He went into the cold palace and adopted his son to the queen.
When Zi Fei received the decree, she did not cry. Instead, she smiled and said to the eight-year-old Leng Hanyi: "Your father really loved me, but he couldn't protect me. This is the love of an emperor. He can love but cannot."
Protect love. If my son has a day
Once you ascend the Nine-Fiveth Throne, you must not imitate your father! The mother-in-law will leave my son from now on, but the mother-in-law has no regrets! Because I know that my son knows that I am wronged, and your father also knows that I am wronged,
That’s enough!”
At the end of her words, Concubine Zi rushed out of the palace and rushed to the lotus pond in the imperial garden in front of the palace. She glanced with disdain at the imperial guards who were chasing after her. She squeezed the purple rose in her hand tightly and fell down with sadness after saying a word.
Looking at Leng Hanyi, he stepped back step by step until he retreated into the lotus pond...
Only Leng Hanyi, who was chasing the closest, heard those words; the queen changed the day and made dangerous moves, and Ziyi lost. But if you kill the child, you will be punished by God!... Leng Hanyi looked at his mother and concubine after she fell into the water.
, holding back his tears, stood by the pool, and secretly swore that the person who wronged his mother and concubine would not die a good death!
Therefore, after he ascended the throne, he sent the former empress to the Dongling Mausoleum, despite the objections of all his ministers, and called him the late emperor to guard the mausoleum. This was actually revenge. The former empress's son, Leng Hanliang, had a close relationship with Leng Hanyi since childhood, so he stayed in the capital.
, was named the King of Harmony.
Leng Hanyi was able to take revenge, but only half of it, because Bing Zhiwen was in power and he could not shake it. But he would not let Bing Zhiwen have an easy time! Everyone knew that Bing Zhiwen loved his daughter the most, so he
He took his daughter into the palace as his queen and carried out revenge. On their wedding night, he pushed her into the lotus pond just to warn Bing Zhiwen that his mother-in-law was forced to throw herself into the pond! He also wanted to let Bing Zhiwen have a taste of it.
What it feels like to have your loved ones tortured but unable to protect them!
But why, now that his enemy's daughter is right in front of him, why can't he hate her? Is it just her beauty? Leng Hanyi frowned, and his eyes fell inquiringly on the ice-cold woman with an indifferent face in front of him.
Mengran was at a loss by this probing and angry look. What was going on? This emperor seemed to have a deep hatred for her. Looking at this look, it was not as simple as just hating the leader of Bingzhi Wenquan! There must be something inside.
, it seems that I need to find time to investigate carefully.
"Why are you the queen?!" After looking at each other for a long time, Leng Hanyi picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp, sighing meaningfully. Yes, if she were really an ordinary palace maid or an inconspicuous concubine, she would have been more beautiful.
OK!
"This... if I could choose, I would definitely not choose this identity!" Mengran lowered her head, looked at the tea cup in her hand, and sighed. She also wanted to know why she chose to be a queen after she was reborn.
?This identity is too scary. It’s too tiring.
"It's late at night, it's time to go to bed. Come and undress me!" Leng Hanyi said with a hint of cunning in his eyes, looking at Meng Ran who lowered his head and sighed.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be anxious. I always like to read at night by candlelight..." Meng Ran blushed when she heard this. She has never experienced anything in the world. The only way to go now is to delay the time. I believe that Concubine Rou's eyes and ears will be there soon.
The news of the emperor's stay here has spread. In that case, Concubine Rou will definitely
Find a way to take the emperor away. After all, the reason why the queen is not respected now is mostly because the queen is ignored. If the emperor stays in Feng Palace today, it is estimated that the concubines will look at the queen differently tomorrow, and they will not dare to neglect. Rou.
The imperial concubine will never let this happen! So...
"Oh? The queen has this hobby, how come I never knew about it..."
"Your Majesty, the little prince is feeling unwell and crying non-stop. Concubine Rou has sent someone to ask the emperor to come and have a look." Liu Shu's voice was slightly louder, but his tone was not urgent at all. It was obvious that he was a calm and steady person. He
He didn't come in either, he just stood at the door politely.
