"It seems that being an emperor is risky. You are always in danger of being cheated." Lin Chong thought to himself.
When she arrived at the concubine's palace, she seemed to have thought of her own end, her face was gray and despairing.
The guard was also very scared, but he still gritted his teeth and kowtowed to Lin Chong: "Your Majesty, this is all my fault. I was forced to do this. I beg you to spare her life." After that, he kowtowed again.
Got a few heads.
The concubine also kowtowed. Although her face was pale, her tone was firm: "I am the concubine who has brought shame on Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to allow us to be buried in the same cave."
Lin Chong sighed. After all, this was not his wife. She was a strange woman to him. It seemed cruel to kill her on his own initiative. Otherwise, he would have agreed to bury them together.
"You should go out first." Lin Chong said this to Wang Chengen. Wang Chengen seemed to glare at him, but still led everyone out.
Lin Chong casually found a place to sit down and poured himself a glass of water: "Tell me, what's going on?" Next he heard a classic story about a talented man and a beautiful man, but a talented woman was beaten by money-grubbing parents and local bullies.
Story. Coincidentally, Zhu Youjian is the bully.
The heroine of the story is called Xiu'er. She was born and raised in Jiangnan. Her family originally had a small business and was considered to be a relatively wealthy family in the local area. There was a study near her home.
There was a young boy in the study who, in addition to studying, also practiced martial arts every day. They had made an appointment to go to Mobei to watch the sunset and go to an extremely cold place to enjoy the falling snow. They had agreed to do many things.
However, the girl's father finally saved enough money to buy a minor official in the capital, and the girl's family was moving out. They had made an appointment to get together again.
They are indeed reunited again. One is the imperial concubine, and the other is a little guard. Things are different, people are different, everything is different, and the tears are shed first when they want to speak.
Lin Chong guessed that Chongzhen didn't know that there was this story between them. If he knew it, he would send his wife's old lover as a bodyguard. He would be really talented.
In the end, the concubine was hanged in the palace by a white silk ribbon, and the guards were also executed. Some people wanted to know whether they were buried together. The little eunuch who knew the inside story said that the whole body was not left behind, but was burned.
Who knows if they were buried together after ashes?
The only one who really knows the truth is probably Liu Shishi who was ordered to send people out of the city.
The young desperate mandarin duck knelt in front of Master Liu and said in a trembling tone: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
"Okay, let's go quickly. When you get to the front, you can run as far as you can. From now on, there will be no more of you two in the world." Master Liu looked ahead and said expressionlessly.
Those kneeling on the ground were Xiu'er and the guard, who everyone thought had been burned to ashes. Xiu'er bowed deeply, and the guard pulled her away without looking back.
Liu Shishi looked at their backs and felt an inexplicable upset in her heart. She took a few deep breaths, then shook her hair and turned to leave in the opposite direction to them.
Lin Chong secretly let the two of them go. It was not that Wang Chengen didn't know about it, but he didn't reveal it in the end. So Lin Chong always thought that he had done a good job and had hidden it from Wang Chengen.
He asked by the way: "What about Chongzhen's other concubines and his children? I didn't see any princes or princesses in the palace."
Wang Chengen's face became solemn: "Your Majesty has been diligent in government affairs, and the harem is not full. Before he decided to die, the prince and princess had already gone ahead."
Lin Chong opened his mouth in surprise. He said that a tiger can't eat its seeds. He didn't expect Chongzhen to be so cruel. He wanted to die, but he wanted his wife and children to be buried with him. Even if he didn't want them to become prisoners and be humiliated.
Well, this is too awesome. It is indeed the most ruthless emperor's family.
Lin Chong lamented for a while that feudal rule was harmful to people, and then he went back to the palace. It was time for dinner.
Wang Chengen already knows that this long-lived man is willing to save anything and is not willing to waste anything. He is extremely persistent when it comes to meals. Not only must he be full, but he must also eat well. The imperial dining room has simply become
The busiest place in the palace. Jin Yiwei is often sent to run errands and buy some weird food. Such as smoked pig's trotters from the Zhang family in the west of the city and roasted chestnuts from the Li family in the south. This long live master is good at everything, but only here.
This aspect is particularly frustrating.
On this day, after morning court, Zhou Ze took a small sedan back home as usual. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a large pool of blood on his bed. He slowly walked closer to check.
The blood on the bed came from a black cat. The black cat was already dead, and an arrow nailed it to Zhou Ze's bed. The servants next to him screamed and covered their mouths and retreated back.
Zhou Ze himself seemed much calmer. He called in a few servants to remove the dead cat and changed it into a bed. Zhou Ze knelt down and examined the arrow carefully. He pulled out the arrow and placed it at eye level.
In his position, he frowned.
After reaching out to pull out the copper scissors, he saw a piece of paper wrapped in oil paper inside. I didn't know what was written on the paper. After reading it, Zhou Ze clenched his hands tightly, and his usual indifference seemed to disappear.
The paper was torn to pieces.
The whole night, he frowned at a blank piece of paper in his study. What he didn't know was that, maybe in a different way, he was not the only one to receive similar things.
At this moment, many people are facing the same problem and are hesitating and struggling.
There are others. Tonight is an extremely lucky night for them. Gold, silver and jewelry fall from the sky, and they even happen to rescue a woman in trouble on the road. All of them are pretty.
Lin Chong's throne is not stable, the four houses are not leveled, and the enemies are like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, one after another. At this moment, he is still enjoying a rare leisurely night. He does not need to criticize the book, and can drink quietly in the small pavilion.
The wine was brought from Wei Changqing’s house.
Most of the Wei family's property was also rushed into the treasury. Wei Changqing ordered some special snacks from various places and personally delivered them to Lin Chong.
Lin Chong was quite grateful to him at first, but now he thought about it, this kid must have kidnapped Lu Qinghuan at this time, this scheming dog!
It was a good night for a walk. The wind was light and the weather was good. In addition, Lin Chong didn't know the crisis he was about to face.
What broke this quiet and peaceful night was the watchman's exclamation: "Someone is dead, someone is coming..."
In a dark alley, a man was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open. He seemed to have seen something unbelievable, so he refused to close his eyes...
This incident spread throughout the streets and alleys the next day. Suddenly, no one paid attention to the already remote alley at night. Even wild cats and dogs stayed away.
