At the beginning, the young and frivolous Sixth Prince Qi'an was the one who had the highest demand for the crown prince. The handsome Sixth Prince had the support of the Ji family. Everyone believed that it was only a matter of time for the Sixth Prince to ascend to the position of Crown Prince.
In addition to the support of the Ji family, only the sixth prince among the several princes was the most respected by the late emperor. He was not a man of economics, but he was also a bold and aggressive man. It was well known to all the officials in the court that the late emperor always entrusted him with important official duties.
In his hands, if he didn't prefer him to inherit the throne, how could he be so partial?
But who could have imagined that just when the crown prince's position was about to fall into the hands of the sixth prince, the Ji family suddenly broke up with the sixth prince's mother and concubine. The Ji family turned around and no longer supported the sixth prince. Even he himself
I don't know what happened, but I found out a long time later that it was the Ji family's legitimate daughter who secretly instigated the situation, making the Ji family think that the Sixth Prince would retaliate for his kindness, and planned to secretly cultivate his own power, and then cross the river and destroy the bridge after ascending to the position of crown prince.
How can the Ji family tolerate others playing with it and applauding it? If they don't make some statements, how can they gain a foothold in the court? They won't understand until the incident is over, but it's already too late. They can't go back on their word.
He could only make mistakes and support the powerless prince. Fortunately, the prince ascended to the throne and the prosperity and wealth of the Ji family for several generations were preserved.
However, the legitimate daughter of the Ji family asked herself to marry far away, and even stated that she would never return to the capital. This matter has been circulated among the nobles in the capital for a long time. The most convincing reason is that the late emperor did not want Ji Mengxian to be a disaster for her beauty, and was worried that she would let several princes
Only after turning against each other did he allow her to marry away from Linyang.
However, no one knows the real reason why the legitimate daughter of the Ji family married away from Linyang. Even the Ji family does not know the whole story. He only thinks that the late emperor felt that the Ji family was too powerful and did not want the Ji family to marry the royal family again.
It is used to curb the growth of the Ji family's power, and also to warn the Ji family to stay safe.
Now, in front of the emperor, King An mentioned Ji Mengxian, who had passed away six or seven years ago, but it made Emperor Ling change his face. He looked at Emperor Ling calmly and said word by word: "After all, the emperor and Mengxian are in love.
Xiangyue should be the one who knows best, right?"
Emperor Ling's expression suddenly changed, and his icy gaze shot fiercely at King An, as if he wanted to pierce him.
Almost no one in the capital knew about the affair between Ji Mengxian and Emperor Ling. Although Emperor Ling was the prince back then, he had no power and was not taken seriously, while Ji Mengxian was the eldest daughter of the powerful Ji family. Such two people were not worthy of each other.
There would be some intersection, but it just happened that these two people came together.
Who would have thought that Emperor Ling, who had a harem of three thousand people, was once an infatuated man. He truly loved Ji Mengxian. At that time, he even felt that getting Ji Mengxian's love made him more excited than getting the whole world. This was the dream of all men in the world.
When his beloved lay in his arms and shyly told him that she loved him, he felt like he owned the whole world.
"Why, your Majesty, you still don't dare to admit it? Mengxian set up the Ji family and me for you, but you will watch her marry a merchant far away. Your Majesty, you are really the most cruel person in the world.
." King An's smile appeared on his face, but there was an icy chill in his eyes.
Faced with his accusation, Emperor Ling did not speak, simply because everything he said was true.
He has always felt that he was worthy of the people of the world and worthy of Daying as a whole, but he was sorry for the woman he loved. He did not fight for or fight, and just watched her leave.
"For your throne, you are too cowardly to fight against your father. She is really blind to fall in love with you." At this point, King An really became angry.
Everyone thought that the ambitious King An was heartless, but they were wrong. King An's sincerity had been given to Ji Mengxian many years ago, that woman who was as good as an interpreter, and he knew clearly that she was the one who set him up.
With the Ji family, even though he knew she was in love with the prince Qi Han, he still fell in love with her without hesitation.
However, he knew that Ji Mengxian would not fall in love with him because he wanted to oust her beloved man from the position of prince. He watched her plot for the prince, watched her betray the Ji family for the prince, and watched her face the prince.
Seeing the Holy Emperor, he finally complied with her wishes and broke up with the Ji family.
No one would believe that the ambitious King An was actually a man who wanted beauty rather than power. Even before he got the beauty, he was willing to give up power. Even if he fell out with the Ji family later, he could still be with the prince.
He wanted to compete, but he exposed his shortcomings and lost to the prince.
But what he didn't expect was that his beloved woman still didn't find happiness in the end. She married a merchant in Linyang. A very smart woman like her would be so wronged to marry a merchant. Such an ending was
He couldn't tolerate it under any circumstances. Before she left, they met once and she threatened to die. He finally compromised and watched her marry to Linyang, hoping that she would live a good life.
However, what he didn't expect was that the merchant who had only married her because of his good deeds in his previous life would have three wives and four concubines. The woman he was reluctant to hurt even if he hurt him would actually compete with those women of low status for the favor of a merchant. This was something he could not tolerate.
incident, and he transferred this hatred to Qi Han. From the moment he ascended the throne, he secretly accumulated strength. He wanted to avenge Ji Mengxian and attack the man who had failed her.
"That's enough for you." Emperor Ling slammed the table, anger gushing out from his eyes.
This is the pain in his heart that no one can touch. No one is allowed to be presumptuous in front of him except the woman who has long since become loess.
"Is that enough?" Wang An sneered, his laughter was cold, "Your Majesty, she gave everything for you, but she ended up like this, do you think it's enough? I tell you, it's not enough, it's not enough."
Emperor Ling clenched his fists, veins popping out on his usually elegant face, "This is between me and Mengxian, and you won't tolerate your nonsense."
"Nonsense? Your Majesty, you are really hypocritical." Wang An stepped forward step by step, walked to the emperor, and said with a death-like voice, "You have no idea what she gave up in order to love you, but you did it for
You sacrificed your throne for her. I tell you, there will never be another woman in this life who loves you as much as she does."
Why should he tell him such a thing?
Emperor Ling clenched his fists tightly to suppress the turbulence in his heart. He was always calm and wise. He rarely got so emotional. Everyone said that the prince was patient. Who knew the pain in his heart? And those lonely and painful people
Only one person understands, but that person has been buried deep in the ground now. He doesn't even dare to miss her, for fear of being overwhelmed by his own thoughts.
"What qualifications do you have to make her love you so much?" Wang An's face finally twisted, "You are just a bastard."
