"Liu Lang, are you here to see me today because of the Emperor?" The Queen Mother couldn't believe it. "I always thought you hated him. After all, he is my and the late Emperor's child. []"
The Taifu smiled fondly and said, "Zixuan, I regard your child as ours."
The Queen Mother's eyes rolled, "Liu Lang, how could I be so virtuous and capable that I can win your sincerity..."
"Zixuan, you are you. There is only one you in this world."
"Liu Lang!"
…
Qi Mingzhuo knelt down and his legs were numb until Eunuch Li gave him the tiger talisman.
"King An, the emperor said that he was in a hurry and forgot to hand over the tiger talisman to you. Please accept it now."
Qi Mingzhuo took it and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty hopes that you will set out early tomorrow morning so that the scene that you shouldn't be there will not happen. There are so many urgent matters on the border and it has been delayed for too long."
"Eunuch, can the Li family really be saved?"
Eunuch Li shook his head, "The emperor is too grieved. Prince An should not try to persuade him. Besides, I'm afraid it will only make the emperor more sad. I have served the emperor for so long and I have never seen him cry. But I didn't expect that the imperial concubine would let the emperor personally
I took care of him and even cried."
Qi Mingzhuo nodded, "I understand. My father-in-law told the emperor that I will set off tomorrow."
"Don't worry, Prince An."
After leaving the main hall, Qi Mingzhuo still felt uneasy and walked towards the Moyang Palace.
It was still on the big tree that night.
Here, you can clearly see the scene of arriving at the room.
The imperial brother sat on the bedside, holding her hand, his face full of tenderness.
As for her, her eyes were dull, as if she had no reaction at all.
His heart hurt so much that he could hardly breathe.
The once lively and lovely girl was now tortured into this state by the deep palace.
He took out the jade flute and started playing it loudly.
This is the Moyang Palace, and there is an emperor here. He cannot play the flute.
It's just that he wanted to blow it to her.
Xi'er, I hope this flute sound can soothe the sorrow in your heart
The wind rustled the leaves.
After a while, Qi Mingzhuo looked at the haggard-looking man again, finally calmed down and turned his eyes...
Xi'er, I'll be back soon
"Your Majesty, it's been a day, please have something to eat." Pei'er brought a bowl of fragrant eight-treasure porridge.
"I have no appetite." The Emperor hugged Liu Xiaoxuan tightly, "You don't have to come in to wait on me. Just let me and Xi'er be alone."
"Can……"
"Bold slave, do you want to resist the decree?"
Pei'er was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and said, "My slave, get out right now."
Zhu'er supported Pei'er, and the two quickly exited.
"Xi'er, what should I do with you?" The emperor kissed her eyebrows, her cheeks, and her mouth, but she was still in a daze. It had been all day, and she was like this when she woke up.
He sighed, "Xi'er, go to sleep, don't think about anything, I'll sleep with you."
It's night.
Empress Li was kneeling in the courtyard of Zhaoyang Palace, and the moon stretched her shadow very long.
Almost half of the slaves in Zhaoyang Palace were punished with sticks, and the remaining half were all assigned to help in various palaces. Now, except for a new palace maid who takes care of her, there is no one else in Zhaoyang Palace.
Zhaoyang Palace, which was once more prosperous, did not want to end up in such a depressed state.
What made her even more unbelievable was that her father would do whatever it took to gain power. What made her even more chilling was that the emperor actually ordered the execution of the nine members of the Li family, except the Queen Mother.
The palace door creaked, and Empress Li's eyes focused on the person. When she saw it was the Queen Mother, she immediately ran over crying and hugged her legs tightly, "Mother, I know that you will definitely come to beg me.
.”
The Queen Mother was silent.
"Mother, you are the emperor's mother. He listens to other people's instigation. You must stop him from doing stupid things, otherwise the world will laugh at him."
"Queen Mother, the Li family cannot kill the nine clans. Queen Mother, you are also a member of the Li family. How can you save your face if the Emperor is like this? Queen Mother, you must save the Li family and save dad."
"Your father is dead." The Queen Mother's voice was calm.
Li Miaoyang was paralyzed after hearing this.
She asked the Queen Mother in disbelief, "Why? He is your brother, your brother, and you actually let him die?"
"The only fate for traitors and traitors is death!"
Li Miaoyang shook his head fiercely, "Mother, you are from the Li family. Do you think your heart is toward outsiders?"
"But don't forget, the emperor is the son of the Ai family."
Li Miaoyang smiled sadly after hearing this, "Yes, the imperial concubine lost her son, and everyone went crazy. Naturally, the mother has to protect her child, but the son and minister were wronged, and the father should be wronged as well."
"Miaoyang, let me tell you a story. Thirty years ago, the Li family was just a common people, but your grandfather married three wives and four concubines. Life was not easy to live with. With so many wives and concubines, naturally
Life is even more miserable. Your father is a direct descendant, so he is naturally loved by everyone, but the Ai family is a commoner, so people naturally take the Ai family seriously. With many sisters, the Ai family is bullied, but the Ai family does not care, as long as the Ai family
Just eat enough and wear warm clothes."
"No one had ever cared about the Ai family until the emperor drafted and the court came to arrest people in the village. Everyone knew that the palace was lonely and did not want to go, so they had to let the Ai family out. But they didn't know that the Ai family already had people.
They fell in love with their sweetheart and even made a lifelong commitment to each other..."
"So, you hate the Li family?" Li Miaoyang took over.
"No, this is just the beginning. Concubines without backs can only be bullied in the palace. You have seen these things often and you should have experienced them. The Ai family made an exception and was named a talented person because of their outstanding appearance. This has caused trouble even more.
In order to no longer be bullied, the Ai family had no choice but to strengthen their own power. All this was separate from the family law. Only when the family grew stronger could anyone dare to touch the Ai family to divide the wealth. Finally, the family gradually grew stronger and it can be said to be a glorious ancestor. Unfortunately,
Your father and the Li family's ambitions are growing day by day, leaving the Ai family under control. The Ai family sacrificed their lives and their love for the Li family. Not only are they not grateful, they also want to use the Ai family to seize the throne and kill the emperor.
The Ai family is just a pawn in their hands that can be used."
"So, is the Li family determined to exterminate the nine tribes? If it hadn't been for the miscarriage of the imperial concubine, you would have blamed other things on the Li family, right?"
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and said, "The Li family has reached this point because of their ambitions. In this life, except for the emperor and him, no one has ever truly cared about and loved the Ai family. It is impossible for the Ai family to be destroyed for the sake of a group of greedy people."
The son of the Ai family!"
Li Miaoyang smiled and said, "Where is my minister? What's wrong with my son and the emperor falling in love? Do you want to kill my minister too?"
