It is completely different from the atmosphere of being immersed in the wedding in the Luoyang Palace, the palace at night is shrouded in inexplicable silence.
It was late at night, but Xiao Heng was sleepless and kept holding a volume of ancient books and reading them at night. The eunuch in charge, Chen Rong, didn't want to disturb him at first. Seeing that the emperor was not going to bed for a long time, he was worried about the emperor's body, and finally couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, you'd better take a break soon!"
Xiao Heng shook his head and said lightly: "I'm not sleepy yet..."
Chen Rong brought Xiao Heng a cup of ginseng tea and sincerely advised: "It's already late at night. Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself! The servant dared to say something, and the imperial physician also reminded you, Your Majesty, you should rest well!"
Since the emperor fainted from anger over the incident of King Xuanwu, the emperor's body has been worse than before. In addition, the eldest prince has been in a stalemate with the emperor for a long time, and the emperor is even more depressed. He is worried that the emperor will become sick. , I really fell ill one day.
Xiao Heng put down the ancient book in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed quietly: "I also feel that I am a little weak recently... Maybe it's because I'm getting older!"
"The emperor is in his prime, and he can recover if he only takes a rest for a while..." Chen Rong replied hurriedly, Xiao Heng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Chen Rong, you don't have to comfort me, I understand my body myself! ”
Chen Rong wanted to say something, but Xiao Heng suddenly changed the topic: "Have Changgong returned to the palace?"
"Go back to the emperor, the eldest prince has come back. The palace maid in his bedroom said that the eldest prince seemed to be drunk and had already served him to sleep!" After hearing the emperor mention the serious matter, Chen Rong hurriedly turned aside and replied respectfully.
Xiao Heng nodded slightly, without asking anything else. He stood up and walked to the window, looking at the night sky outside the window. It was the full moon in the sky and everything was quiet. It must be the festive Luoyang Palace, and the spring was over!
He did not go to the palace to personally take charge of his cousin Xiao Jingyao's marriage, but sent Changgong to replace him. If Xiao Jingyao had known Changgong would have been made the crown prince, he must have understood his intention to send Changgong to congratulate the wedding!
It is said that the wedding night is a great joy in life. He actually really wants to see if Xiao Jingyao really completely forgot A Jing and married the daughter of the old general Wei, Wei Zijin!
Although Xiao Jingyao didn't say it, he also knew that Xiao Jingyao refused to marry the princess before, just for A Jing!
When Xiao Heng thought of the woman he killed with his own hands, he closed his eyes silently, and her former voice, appearance and smile continued to appear in his mind!
He always remembered the way she looked back and smiled at him under the pear blossom tree... At that time, he made up his mind to marry her!
He didn't know whether he got her when he first wanted to support his ascension with the Li family of Zhaojun behind her, or was amazed by her smile!
But he still made up his mind to ruin her with his own hands... Since then, no one will show him such a pure smile!
He killed the only woman who really loved him, and even her father, Duke Chen, did not let him go!
Xiao Heng stretched out his hand and looked at his palm silently in a daze! When Xiao Jingyao learned about her death, he rushed to the palace to question him, and he was indifferent and calm from beginning to end!
Xiao Jingyao is actually right, he is a cold person! Throughout history, only cold people can achieve great achievements!
