Di Qianao respectfully pulled Shen Qingchuan to Long An, patted his shoulder again, "Shen Aiqing, sit down and talk in detail."
Seeing that Emperor Qianao was always smiling, Shen Qingchuan said in a deep voice: "Is there something happy for the Emperor?"
Di Qianao touched the end of his lips with his slender fingers, even though he was smiling, he said, "Look, I can't hide things in my heart, and even the happy events are on my face. I told you last time Someone has come back and I am not free. Now that I have cleared her out, I am free! This is just one of the happy events. The second happy event is that the imperial concubine is happy, and I am so happy...!"
As he spoke, Di Qianao stopped talking, leaving enough space for people to imagine.
Haiyin thought to himself, what, it’s so disgusting that I can’t continue talking? Just hold on, Emperor!
Shen Qingchuan thought to himself that he was about to jump with joy. Maybe the child is mine. He was actually happy in his heart. Everything was according to his plan. Di Qianao must have hated Luo Changan for being excommunicated. , if he joins forces with Luo Chang'an, he will surely make Emperor Qian'ao die without a burial place. He, Shen Qingchuan, will definitely make Emperor Qian'ao sacrifice his life to commemorate the fall of the royal family of our Kingdom of Shu!
"Congratulations, Emperor, for becoming a father again!" Shen Qingchuan congratulated loudly.
Di Qian proudly nodded, "Right now I'm waiting for my beloved's 'important matters'. Give me three happy surprises! Tell me about Di Ling's whereabouts. I...listen!"
"Last time I mentioned that the old palace man who built the Diling Tomb in the former Shu Kingdom asked for a golden coffin so that he could be buried with splendor a hundred years later." Shen Qingchuan reported back what he had planned. The Diling Tomb belongs to his family, and the old palace man is his. Among his subordinates, there were guards in the Diling Mausoleum who were already waiting with their swords to 'destroy the fox'. "After receiving the emperor's approval, I sent someone to build a golden coffin and sent it to the old palace man's house. He was so happy that he immediately Lying in the golden coffin, he smiled from ear to ear, and when he was happy, he told his ministers everything."
Emperor Qian proudly nodded and said with great interest: "Continue."
Shen Qingchuan cleared his throat and continued: "The Diling Mausoleum is located in the Jiuling Mountain in the lower reaches of the Shijiang River. As the name suggests, the mountain has nine ridges. The entrance to the Diling Tomb is at the foot of the Seventh Ridge Mountain hidden from people's eyes. It is covered by a huge natural stone. .It is said that there are many mechanisms inside. The old palace man also drew out the mechanisms and the inner structure of the tomb based on his memory. Please take a look."
Emperor Qianao took the map of the Diling Mausoleum in his hand and looked at it carefully. After all, Mr. Shen was young and the former prince of the Shu Kingdom. When he saw an opportunity in the chaotic war, he retreated to protect himself. I am afraid that he had removed the Diling Tomb. Even though This map has mixed truths and falsehoods, but in the end the details are left to me.
Haiyin thought to himself that the emperor had been able to figure out the location of Diling step by step with such composure. He had never lost in the psychological battle. Well, except for the psychological battle with the Queen, he had never won! He couldn't hold back half of it. hours.
Di Qianao put down the drawing, deliberately showing a sense of urgency, and his cold eyes were full of treasures: "I will go to Diling tonight! I...will go there in person."
tonight?!
Shen Qingchuan was shocked, he was not ready yet!
Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t we discuss his ten-and-a-half-day plan to enter the tomb?!
It’s too arbitrary to go tonight, you’re trying to scare me. I really can’t believe that such an arbitrary Emperor Qian’ao can rule the world. How did he become the King of God and live to this day with such recklessness?! What a shame?!
He was holding some cold sweat in his hands, and did not want to show too much hope that the emperor would go to the tomb in person, so as not to make his motives too obvious. He advised: "Emperor, in my opinion, this matter should not be rushed. Why don't we send more people to go to the tomb together?" , after all, there are dark and evil sects in the Diling. If there are unclean rice dumplings and collide with the holy driver, it will be in trouble. The emperor really cannot take risks himself!"
Emperor Qianao stood up and paced back and forth as if his heart was itching, "No, Shen Aiqing. There must be a huge amount of money in the Diling Mausoleum. This matter must not be made public, lest someone has evil intentions and wants to kill me and embezzle it for himself." Treasure. Apart from you and myself, I can’t trust anyone. You need to lead the troops and accompany me to search the tomb!"
Shen Qingchuan deeply despised this fox in his heart. Since ancient times, people have died for money and birds have died for food. Emperor Qianao was so eager for the treasure. Moreover, this man was jealous of his subordinates and went deep into the tomb without heavy troops. He was really asking for his own death. There was no need for him to think of ways to persuade him to go, he immediately said: "Yes. Then I will make arrangements and go to Diling as soon as possible!"
Emperor Qian Ao said solemnly: "Today is the ninth day of the lunar month. On the twentieth day, I will go to the Diling Tomb. It can't be any later! I was the one who destroyed the country on the twentieth day of that year. This time I will go to the Diling Tomb and give three years to Shu Gou on the anniversary of his death. !”
Shen Qingchuan was stabbed in the vital parts, and the word "anniversary" reminded him of the hatred of the country's subjugation, and he couldn't help but hate Emperor Qianao to the bone. He must meet Luo Changan as soon as possible, and regain the "living" relationship between husband and wife that he had for half a year, teach Emperor Qianao Feeling the pain of betrayal and separation, he nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Okay, we've finished talking about the political affairs. You can breathe a sigh of relief." Di Qian Aoru mentioned inadvertently, "Shen Aiqing has done so much for me and found the long-lost Diling. I truly believe that you... Well done! Only Shen Aiqing impressed me deeply! Shen Aiqing mentioned before that she was not married, but...does she have a husband?"
Shen Qingchuan was startled. He speculated that the fox might have wanted to express his gratitude for the marriage on a whim. He actually wanted to secretly stimulate Di Qian'ao to make himself feel better. Di Qian'ao definitely didn't know that he was irritating him, but As long as he feels comfortable, he said, "I don't have a true love. I only had one for a short time, and then we broke up."
"How long did it take for them to break up?" Di Qianao still asked with a smile, but his eyes were already cold.
Haiyin:...I seem to have returned to the old capital covered with ice and snow. Can Governor Shen stop irritating the emperor all the time...
"About half a year." Shen Qingchuan felt secretly comfortable in his heart. He hid Di Qianao's wife in the snow for half a year, leaving her almost torn apart by life and death. It was satisfying to think about it.
Di Qianao's eyes darkened, "Are you deeply emotional?"
"After half a year together, there was...intercourse between men and women." Shen Qingchuan smiled as he savored the fun that he only knew. Anyway, Emperor Qianao didn't know what he had hidden in Luo Chang'an for half a year. Qian Ao only knew that Luo Changan was rescued by the fisherman's mother-in-law. It was so funny that this fox was teased by me, Shen Qingchuan, and applauded, "When we were together, we were like glue, but later... our personalities didn't get along, and we broke up."
Di Qianao suddenly stopped smiling, and there was a flash of scarlet anger in his eyes.
He clenched his hands tightly, and the jade ring on his thumb, which symbolized status, was crushed.
It's been... half a year. What do you mean? I've insulted my woman for half a year.
Haiyin was shocked. The emperor was punished. He hurriedly handed over the herbal tea, "Emperor, it's dry in autumn, so drink some hot tea. At the end of the month... you can enter Diling! Then the Shu dog will be captured. I understand! Thanks to Mr. Shen for your help."
Di Qianao took a sip of tea and said to Shen Qingchuan: "If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come. After leaving Diling, I will personally protect the matchmaker and find you a... person! I have someone who is perfect for you." The perfect choice."
Shen Qingchuan clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Emperor, for your kindness. Your kindness is so great."
"Ai Qing, go ahead." Di Qianao waved his hand, signaling for him to go out.
When Shen Qingchuan came out of the imperial study, Haiyin hurriedly bowed and said: "He may not be talking about the empress. Please be at ease, be at ease. 'Fishing mother-in-law' is usually a woman, and the person who is related to the word "mother-in-law" cannot be a man.
.”
Di Qianao leaned back in his chair, unable to hold back what happened for half a year.
"Demolish the Changchun Palace, the backyard side hall where Song Ning originally lived." Di Qianao was quiet for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Build a few swings. Children like to play, and one is easy to fight for."
"One swing per child. How many will be built in total?" Haiyin quietly looked at the emperor's expression. This was in preparation for returning the Changchun Palace to the empress in the future.
"Build...five...?" Di Qianao asked uncertainly, "Would it be too many?"
"A bit greedy. Three are difficult...five is far away." Haiyin laughed.
Di Qian'ao was stunned by Hai Yin's smile, "I will go to Changchun Palace in person and build the swing myself."
Haiyin nodded, "Building a swing cannot be done in a day or two. Fortunately, Song Ning is not in Changchun Palace, and the Queen is not in the palace either, otherwise you would have to try your best to explain."
Emperor Qian proudly said nothing.
Haiyin added: "Just now the spies came to report that the queen has returned to the Yongding Marquis Mansion. The Lord advised the queen to start a new life and handed her pictures of the ten most beautiful men in Chang'an City, all of whom were in their early twenties.
"
"She accepted it?"
"...Maybe he was annoyed by the lord and accepted it." Haiyin explained, "If you let the empress choose freedom or the phoenix crown, the empress will figure it out and she will definitely choose the phoenix crown to be shoulder-level with you."
***
Inside the Yongdinghou Mansion.
It was drizzling again this night.
Luo Changan sat on the wooden chair beside the carved railing on the second floor, resting her cheek on her arm and stretching out her other hand. The cool autumn rain fell on her palm.
Eleven days have passed since we left Xuanwumen. In late autumn, the weather has become colder.
Luo Chang'an had lived in seclusion for more than ten days, living a life between the Imperial College and the Yongding Marquis' Mansion. When she was free, she sewed and took care of the flowers and plants. After leaving the harem, the days suddenly became quiet, so quiet that she couldn't adapt to it.
Without the emperor, the whole person's state is like wandering, like duckweed. Because I don't know when he will appear, I feel even more homeless.
Often because there was some slight movement in the courtyard, or someone coughing, or someone whispering something similar in voice, she would happily go out to check. Every time she hoped, every time she was disappointed, most of the people who came were Liu Qin's friends.
, are not emperors.
At this moment, she could actually understand the emperor's state of mind. In the sea of people, she was looking for the shadow of the person in her heart, and felt melancholy because that person was not the person in her heart.
But she realized that she actually missed the tedious days of taking care of his housework in the harem, combing his hair and taking care of his clothes before he went to court, and serving him warm and delicious food while he was in charge of government until late at night.
of tea, and even missed his admiring gaze when he took care of the harem's chores in an orderly manner.
Today is nineteen, and she spent ten days thinking about what she wanted. No matter what direction she thought about, when she finally came back to her senses, there were only three words in her mind: Di Qianao.
She didn't want to be separated anymore. She wanted to go home and live a life with her husband and children.
She gave up her reluctance and gave up the Changming Palace Lantern and the Changchun Palace. Unsatisfactory things often happen in life. It is better to have the emperor by your side than to say goodbye forever.
She wanted to return to the emperor, accommodate his concubines, and even accommodate his concubines to have children. She would not escape because of these in the future. Once she was divorced, she figured out that this might be the fate of women.
There were footsteps on the stairs, and Liu Qin approached the railing and said, "Chang'an, there are all young people downstairs. This is my plan. I am meeting friends at Fuqin. The person who plays Qin is the most beautiful man in Chang'an City who is both talented and beautiful. Others want to hear about him." You can't even play the piano, why don't we go and have some fun together? What's the point of staying at home all day long? Several people from the court who have spoken to me have also come, Mr. Zeng from the Ministry of Revenue, Governor Shen, and Mr. Ye from the Ministry of Punishment."
Luo Changan felt weak and had no strength. After looking at the emperor's face, everyone else was colorless. Their ranking was meaningless. She didn't even have the interest to open the so-called beauty book, so she returned to Yongding. On the first day that the Hou Mansion got the book of beautiful men, he threw it on the table and ignored it. He just said, "You guys go, Jinfeng just fell asleep, and he woke up soon and wanted to find me."
"You are still waiting for the emperor to come to greet you, right?" Liu Qin sighed, "It has been more than ten days, and he has not even asked you if he has come once. Let me tell you something. I just met Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen It was said that someone kicked the wife out of the house and she was free, and also said that the concubine was happy and that he had to leave the wife. These two things were double happiness."
Luo Changan has been hearing these words for the past half month. Hearing them too much can't help but feel a little upset. "Okay, brother, don't be confused by what others say. Maybe you have ulterior motives."
"Hey, I don't even want to hit you!"
"Brother, you have been attacking me for half a month..."
"I asked an acquaintance to help me inquire in the palace. The emperor has been going to the pregnant little goblin in Changchun Palace every day for the past ten days. He saw that Hu Mei was pregnant. The emperor himself was setting up a swing for the unborn child! You have given birth to two children, but he has personally built a swing for your child? The old woman personally took care of the little goblin. Did the old woman personally take care of you when you were pregnant? Good emperor, Queen Mother!"
Luo Changan felt that her head hurt. She wanted to take a good rest at home and clean up, but she couldn't. She was really tired. Even if he set up a swing for others, it couldn't change her mood of running to him. She I just miss him, what should I do?
In the past ten years, the letters from the sun and the moon were always unclean, and the blood that came down was not bright. She was very tired. When she heard her brother sharing the news about the emperor, she felt even more uncomfortable. The yearning for her became stronger, "I suddenly felt interested in listening to the piano."
"You don't want to talk to me anymore! You just insist on it. Every day, I rest in his clothes, hold the full moon in my arms, take out the sweet-scented osmanthus sachet to smell the sweet-scented osmanthus, and look at the two children's eyes. In a daze, I know who you are thinking of. There is no reserve at all." Liu Qin sighed, "I heard from Qin Keqing that the Emperor and the Tutor have something to do in the nearby library today, and they are only half an hour away from here. I will make a bet with you. He will never come to see you. He wants to stop by to see you tonight, and he will eat the folding fan in his hand tomorrow morning!"
