Concubine Yuan Gui was so frightened that she could no longer stay in Prince Sheng's Mansion and fled in a hurry. As she was escaping, she could hear Xuan Tianming's heartbreaking screams, which made her heartbroken.
After all, he was also her son! And the only son for so many years! She once regarded this son as the only hope in her life. She once placed her greatest hopes and fantasies on this son. She once loved her so much.
Son. But now, she has a goal that she must achieve, and she has a path that she must take. She finally understands that if she wants to no longer be controlled by others and sit in a high position, she can only rely on herself. So, she
No matter what, she couldn't lose. Even if Xuan Tianmo couldn't do it, she would still help someone else who could.
Concubine Yuan Gui left Prince Sheng's Mansion and got on the palace carriage back to the palace. But when she finally adjusted her mood and came to the Zhaohe Hall to tell Emperor Tianwu about her good news or bad news, the eunuch who went in to deliver the message was very angry when he came out.
He said to her in embarrassment: "My dear concubine, the emperor doesn't know what's going on today, but he insists on not seeing you. He even asks you to go back to your palace and don't come here in the past few days."
"What?" Concubine Yuan Gui almost suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, "The emperor doesn't see me? How is this possible?"
The eunuch who conveyed the message was also puzzled. It was said that Concubine Yuan Gui was currently doting on her, and the emperor was completely obedient to her. How could she disappear? But the emperor indeed said that she had disappeared, which made him very embarrassed.
At this time, Concubine Yuan Gui's question rang out again. She asked: "Where has the emperor been while I was away today? Who has he met?"
The eunuch replied: "After the queen left, the emperor said he wanted to go out for a walk, so the servants followed him all the way, and they just walked around the garden. When they saw the queen, they talked a few words with the distant father-in-law, and then
The empress took the distant father-in-law away. Later, the emperor would not let the servants follow him anymore. He had to go around by himself, so the servants did not dare to follow him. Later I heard... I heard that the emperor walked there without knowing it.
I even knocked on the door of Yuehan Palace, but the people in Yuehan Palace did not let the emperor in."
"You said the emperor went to Yuehan Palace?" Concubine Yuan Gui felt a chill in her heart and began to panic. She stopped asking, turned around, left Zhaohe Palace, and hurried to Cunshan Palace with her servants.
It wasn't until she returned to Cunshan Palace and sent all the servants away from the main hall that she entered the dark room and met the Gu Master. The first sentence she asked directly was: "What should I do? The old man has been to Yuehan Palace.
, probably because he remembered something, but now he refuses to see me. I went to Zhaohe Hall and was blocked from the hall."
As soon as the Gu Master saw Concubine Yuan Gui, he couldn't wait to move forward to do something. Concubine Yuan Gui had something on her mind today and was not very cooperative. She pushed her a few times but couldn't get the other party to succeed. The man had to stop and deal with it.
She said: "The old emperor has a stubborn temper and always gets into trouble sometimes. But don't worry, he can't live without you now! I can guarantee it."
"You promise?" Concubine Yuan Gui's eyes showed doubts, "You also promised last time that Feng Yuheng would be poisoned after drinking your poison tea and would be controlled by us. But in fact? What's wrong with him?
None. Now you say you promise, how can I trust you?"
Concubine Yuan Gui's question made the Gu Master feel very embarrassed. He snorted coldly and walked a few steps away. Then he looked back with a warning in his eyes. He said: "Concubine Yuan is now in a high position.
You think I'm useless, don't you? Very good, you don't have to believe me, then there's no need for me to stay in this dark and humid little room. From now on, I won't interfere in your affairs, and you will be left to fend for yourself.
Destroy yourself!"
"You" Concubine Yuan Gui did not expect that this person would use this as a threat. She was secretly resentful and wished she could chop this person up. But she could only think about this emotion in her heart and did not dare to show it on her face.
UP. The reason why the other party dared to threaten her was because she knew she couldn't live without him. She had reached this point and had no way out. She had no other choice but to beg him to continue to help.
Concubine Yuan Gui took a few deep breaths, and when she was able to bend and stretch, she immediately changed her face, took the initiative to step forward, put her hand on the man's chest, and said softly: "Why are we still talking about this?
What if you want to meet someone outside? I was too anxious earlier, it was my fault, please calm down, ah!" After saying that, he put his hand into the man's shirt and started to stroke it back and forth on his chest.
The man still had a cold face, and even took a step back, avoiding Concubine Yuan Gui's hand, and asked again: "Concubine Yuan Gui, are you really thinking about continuing to cooperate with me? Do you really regard me as one of your own?
"
"That's natural." Concubine Yuan Gui quickly expressed her stance, "We have been friends since childhood. How have I ever lied to you? Letting you live here is only temporary and a stopgap measure. Once I take the seat one day,
The position of the Queen Mother, you can live wherever you want in this palace!" As he spoke, he strode forward and untied his clothes without any hesitation, from the outer robe to the inner garment, and then
After corseting her chest and showing her entire upper body, she pounced on the man and said coquettishly: "It's all my fault. Don't be angry with me!"
The man pinched her round upper body without any politeness at all, causing Concubine Yuan Gui to cry out in pain, feeling extremely hateful in her heart, but she could bear it on her face and hugged her tighter.
The man pushed her to the edge of the pool, stood behind Concubine Yuan Gui, and said to her with a lewd expression: "That's right, be good, and I will help you willingly. To that old emperor
His control cannot be increased again in the short term, otherwise he will easily collapse and die prematurely. But you don't have a suitable child to inherit the throne." His malicious laughter came again,
Pressing his body forward, the two of them were pressed together tightly, and he heard the man say: "The old emperor is a waste, you have to get pregnant with my child as soon as possible. Only in this way, this palace, and even the entire
Dashun, they are all ours. Only our own children can tolerate us being together openly, do you understand?"
After saying that, she stood up, and Concubine Yuan Gui shouted in response, but her mind exploded.
This man wanted his child to be the emperor. Could it be that the disease that Xuantian Mo suffered from had something to do with him? The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, especially when she thought about the look of Xuan Tianmo's lower body today.
I think it must have something to do with voodoo. Could it be that she harmed her son? Concubine Yuan Gui wanted to cry but had no tears.
Sure enough, as the Gu Master said, Emperor Tianwu couldn't live without Concubine Yuan Gui. He suppressed her absence and wanted to quit her addiction, but he couldn't bear it until that night. He then sent Wu Ying to invite Concubine Yuan Gui to Zhaohe Hall.
go.
Concubine Yuan Gui was also helpless. The Gu Master went crazy today and tortured her to death. Her key parts were still hurting. How could she serve Emperor Tianwu? Can she not go? The emperor had already sent someone to invite him.
, What's more, she really wanted to see what kind of state Emperor Tianwu was in now, and how he could bear not to see her that afternoon.
So, she went anyway, secretly took the recovery ointment given by the Gu Master, and was carried into the Zhaohe Hall in a soft sedan by the palace staff.
Emperor Tianwu had a headache this afternoon. Although it didn't hurt badly, the faint pain was even worse. While he wanted to get rid of Concubine Yuan Gui's addiction, he also wanted to see Concubine Yuan Gui very urgently. After struggling like this, he finally
Still unable to hold back, he sent someone to call Concubine Yuan Gui.
As soon as he saw Concubine Yuan Gui, his headache was instantly cured, and that warm and caring feeling came over him instantly. Emperor Tianwu felt that the spring breeze was blowing in the winter, and his whole body felt comfortable.
This night was still sweet, but Concubine Yuan Gui endured the pain in her body to serve him. Moreover, despite the pain in her body, the conflict in her heart had never faded away. She was thinking about what would happen if she was pregnant with the Gu Master's child.
, she can no longer control the Gu Master, and is very likely to be devoured by the other party in various ways, and then the other party can support the palace alone, and her life is long gone. But now she can't get rid of the other party at all, and she can't get rid of the other party now.
There are many things that require us to use each other and rely on each other. No matter what, we always have to think of a perfect solution for this matter.
Concubine Yuan Gui decided secretly that once she successfully became pregnant and gave birth to a son, no matter whose child the child was, the Gu Master would have to die when Emperor Tianwu passed away!
After leaving the first month, February passed, and until March, Emperor Tianwu spent the whole time in a state of being sometimes semi-awake and sometimes completely confused. However, because Xuan Tianmo contracted an illness in the court, these two months were not over.
Without much fuss, Concubine Yuan Gui was also waiting quietly, waiting for nothing else but for her belly to swell.
It's a pity that Feng Yuheng's words were followed. It was very difficult for her to get pregnant. Every time the imperial doctor came to check her pulse, she shook her head. No matter how hard she tried, neither Emperor Tianwu nor the Gu Master showed any sign of pregnancy.
And one day in early March, the Dashun court received a letter from the ancient Shu monarch. The old monarch died of illness, and the new monarch succeeded to the throne. He decided to visit Dashun in person and convey the sincerity of the new monarch to Dashun.》≠》≠》
≠》≠,
Emperor Tianwu was very happy about this, but the Gu master was not happy at all, and was even very angry. He asked Concubine Yuan Gui: "Do you know the real purpose of the new king of ancient Shu coming to Dashun? What is his position?
"
At that time, Concubine Yuan Gui was hugging him in the pool, and there was still an atmosphere of ambiguity around her. She said: "What other real purpose can there be? It's just state affairs, it should have nothing to do with us, right? When the new king takes over, he will do it
As a tributary of Dashun, it is appropriate to come here to pay annual tribute. As for our stance, we will definitely not be friends, but we are unlikely to fall out right away. After all, they cannot defeat Dashun."
"I hope that's the case!" The ancient Gu still said with some caution, "But you must also make preparations in advance. It is best for you to quietly send people to the south to greet him and explore the background of the new monarch first."
"Why?" Concubine Yuan Gui was puzzled, "Although you are from ancient Shu, but you don't show up on weekdays, then it doesn't matter if the new monarch does not say he doesn't know you, but even knows you, right?"
The Gu Master shook his head, "That's not what I said. Anyway, just do as I say."
When the king of ancient Shu went to Dashun Kyoto, people calculated that it would take three months at the earliest. Even if he was already on the way when he wrote the letter, he would still have two months to go.
And one night a month later, in the palace of Prince Wenxuan, Princess Wuyang Xuan Tiange felt cold all over her body while she was sleeping, and a cool and gloomy feeling came over her...
