The master doesn't want the monk to say

Chapter 46

The emperor has not closed his eyes for several days.

During the day, he has to go to the court to correct the memorial; at night, after visiting the unconscious eldest prince, he returns to his bedroom, closes his eyes, and is surrounded by the voices of the two little princes who died prematurely, yelling at him. , "Father! Father!"

That night, after he had seen the eldest prince, the imperial doctor comforted him: "Your highness' high fever has subsided a little today, but the empress is already feeling a little unwell because of her undressed care."

In reason and reason, he should go and see it.

The empress is the national teacher's favorite. In order to form a delicate balance in front of the harem and to keep the throne, this is his last resort.

Apart from the three days of the wedding and the rule of going to the queen's palace once a month, the emperor no longer remembers the appearance of his official wife.After all, he only went to sit once a month, and then went back to his bedroom.

The queen had already fallen asleep, and was awakened by the emperor's announcement, she forced herself to get out of bed and saluted the emperor, her face was calm.

"In the past few days, you have done your best." After a long time, the emperor only murmured this sentence.

The empress didn't show any disappointment on her face, her voice was just as low and gentle as an ordinary woman's, "It's fine that Qing'er is fine."

The emperor was a little embarrassed, but he didn't know how to proceed. He didn't have the slightest interest in the affairs of men and women at the moment, and he believed that the queen was too. Therefore, after a while, the emperor stood up, "I still have something to do, the queen pays attention to her body."

The queen got up to send the emperor off, but before the emperor left, she said, "The emperor hasn't visited Concubine Xian for some time?"

The emperor paused.

"I heard that this time, His Highness the Second Highness was among them."

Needless to say, the emperor suddenly understood why the national teacher chose her to be the mother of the country.

After leaving the queen's palace, the emperor turned around and headed for Huanzhu Palace.

The arrival of the emperor is a big event for Huanzhu Palace.Concubine Xian had heard the news early on, and has now greeted her at the gate of the palace.

The emperor looked at Concubine Xian who was kneeling in front of him, feeling a little emotional.In the past, Concubine Xian was smart and gentle, and she knew his intentions best, but after Yan Yi's fate came out, although she didn't send her son out of the palace immediately, she gradually alienated her.

I have long heard that Concubine Xian is mentally abnormal, but when I saw her today, it was the same as before, even worse.

"Yan Yi is sleeping now, and the high fever is showing signs of subsiding. The imperial doctor just came to see him this morning. He said that taking it slowly like this is good for his health. There will be no serious problems in the future. The emperor can rest assured!" Concubine Xian The tone is slow and calm.

The emperor shook her hand, "My concubine has been working hard recently."

Concubine Xian shook her head, and after dismissing a group of people, only the emperor and her were left in the room.

The emperor frowned slightly, but Concubine Xian hugged him and looked at him, her tears were on the verge of falling, as if the pear blossoms were covered with dew and peaches in the rain. Push him away.

There was a trace of emptiness in his eyes, the emperor remembered that Concubine Xian was ill, and hurriedly yelled for the imperial doctor to come.

The emperor tried to shout, "Aifei?"

But Concubine Xian smiled lightly, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the imperial teacher's fortune-telling for our child?"

Life commits Gusha, and the youngest son dies early.

The imperial physician rushed over and helped Concubine Xian onto the bed.

The emperor frowned, shook his sleeves and walked out.

The rumors in the palace became more and more fierce, and no one dared to speak in front of the master, so the emperor didn't know it until now, and the rumors started again.

Forcing Cheng Lu, who has been serving him for many years, to tell all the versions of today's rumors, the emperor only said that the more they spread, the more outrageous they became.He knew that this was the thorn in Concubine Xian's heart, and the nanny was the person he sent to monitor Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian did keep making small moves, but she was stopped in time by the nanny.I'm afraid that as soon as this matter comes out, the rumors will spread more and more fiercely, and Concubine Xian's condition cannot be controlled at all, and Yan Yi may be killed at any time.

Suddenly there was a sound of rolling and crawling outside the door, and the maid beside the queen burst into tears and rushed in crying, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness is dead!"

The emperor only felt his eyes go dark, and he heard Cheng Lu shout, "Your Majesty!" He no longer knew about human affairs.

When the emperor woke up, it was only an hour later.

The emperor got out of bed and hurried to the queen's palace without even putting on his shoes. Cheng Lu chased after him with his shoes.

Running to the gate of the Queen's Palace, he heard a low sob behind the door, the emperor paused, and his body swayed a little, Cheng Lu rushed over, waited on the emperor to put on the shoes, trying to persuade: "Your Majesty!"

He called out to the emperor, but he didn't know how to persuade and comfort him. With a long sigh, Cheng Lu helped the emperor and walked in.

The maids outside the palace knelt on the ground, their eyes were all red and swollen from crying.Seeing the emperor coming, he hurriedly saluted again.

The emperor didn't care about anything else and walked into the hall.

Only then did he realize that the queen's palace was empty, and the things that were usually rewarded according to the month did not seem to be displayed. Bypassing the large and clean screen, the queen sat quietly by the bed, her eyes were empty, but she kept chanting What.

As the emperor approached, he heard the empress's murmur, calling "Qing'er."

Yan Qing's small body lay quietly on the bed, and closed those big eyes that were always gentle and smiling.

Everyone said that Yan Qing had the appearance of an emperor, but in the eyes of the emperor now, he was just an ordinary child, quiet and well-behaved.On weekdays, those appearances of emperors seem to be all lies.

Such a small child, what about the appearance of an emperor?

He seldom saw this child on weekdays, and every day Cheng Lu took the homework passed down by the Taifu, saying that Yan Qing was naturally intelligent and talented as an emperor.

emperor!emperor!

The emperor closed his eyes. If he had never been at the emperor's house, would Yan Qing be climbing a tree with a smile at this time, or clamoring for candied haws?

And what about his other two children?

The emperor opened his eyes, and remembered what Concubine Xian said, she still remembered Yan Yi's fate, how could he forget?

The national teacher must have known about recent events, but he has been reluctant to pass on the word, is he laughing at him?

Laughing at him for his willful way at the beginning, but now he has ended up like this; laughing at him as an emperor, but he is powerless about life and death.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside, and Cheng Lu reported, "Your Majesty, it's Concubine Xian who is here, so she insisted on making a fuss."

"No." The emperor said coldly.

A soft voice came from beside him, "It's just a child, no matter how bad the child's life is, adults can't let adults make trouble at will."

The emperor frowned and looked at the calm queen, "You mean..."

The queen said softly, "Bring them in."

It seemed that someone outside the hall had already prepared it. The door opened, and a man and a woman, including the emperor's nanny, knelt on the ground, trembling.

"What?" The emperor said in a low voice, but looked at the nanny. The nanny was sent by him, but she didn't report to him immediately when something happened.

The nanny knew it was going to be bad.But she really felt sorry for the second prince and couldn't bear to lose her, so she kept hiding it again and again.

But now I can't keep it a secret anymore, the nanny said it out, and Concubine Xian first extracted from Yan Yi the place where they used to play, and then loosened the bottom of the rockery so that it could not bear the weight of the two children, so that dump.

After listening to the nurse's narration, the emperor was unexpectedly calm, "Detain Concubine Xian first!"

Turning around and looking at Yan Qing who seemed to be sleeping with his eyes closed, the emperor's voice suddenly became old and weak, "With the ceremony of the prince, I will give you a generous burial."

On the day of Yan Qing's funeral, there was a light rain in early winter, which hit his face and made his cheeks hurt. This was already the third funeral in the palace.

Things are going on in the world, and the Tian family accounts for half of it.

The bell outside the National Teacher Tower rang ten times, the emperor closed his eyes, and knelt outside the fluttering veils, with an unclear expression on his face.

The emperor knelt down for three days in the National Teacher Tower.

Three days later, she went out of the tower and sent the sober second prince out of the palace, regardless of life or death.

He also announced to the world that Yan, the fifth prince, would be crowned prince.

This seems to be a disguised form to confirm that the second prince was born, and he was told by the national teacher that "the youngest son dies early because he is destined to commit a lonely crime".

In the dungeon, Concubine Xian knelt at the emperor's feet, laughing wildly, "Your majesty, you finally killed that evil, your majesty is wise!"

The emperor frowned and said nothing.

Concubine Xian was a bit stubborn, "Chenqie, Chenqie just let them fall into the water, it's just a cold, whose children haven't been exposed to the wind and cold! That's the scourge! It's him who made none of your children suffer. He died in the wind and cold!"

"How did you become so crazy?" said the emperor.

Concubine Xian froze for a moment, "Concubine?"

Concubine Xian cried and roared: "The concubine was also harmed by that scourge! The concubine is too!"

The emperor shook his head, "It's not him, it's me."

"It's me, I was wrong."

"Do you know why I want to save Yan Yi's life?" The emperor said softly, "The empress told me that the last word Yan Qing called out before his death was 'Xiao Yi'."

"What do you think?" The emperor looked at the no longer Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian suddenly fell silent, as if she had fallen into another world where she was confused and sober. She hummed an unknown tune, and the emperor turned and left this cold and damp dungeon.

That little tune was very familiar, it was in the past, when he had a headache, Concubine Xian would always hum it to him softly, saying it was a little tune handed down from her hometown.

no name.

But where Concubine Xian lived, he was vague.

……

"Later, the second prince was sent out of the palace, and followed many people," Hua Ziyao said softly, "At last, he met a strange person and learned a lot."

Xiao Lian had already fallen asleep within a quarter of an hour of Hua Ziyao's speech.

Because at the beginning he clamored to listen to the story, but also with a weird and cheerful style. Chiruo didn't know where Xiaolian learned so much. Xiu's stories are easy to understand, but Chi Ruo hopes that Xiao Lian can understand the deep meaning of them on his own.

But Xiao Lian was very dissatisfied, pouted, rolled from the bed to the ground, and when he stood on the ground, he felt too dirty, so he climbed back to the bed, clamoring to hear other things.

Hua Ziyao couldn't bear to be disturbed, so she started to tell a story casually.

But because the noise was too loud at the beginning, Xiao Lian calmed down and soon fell asleep.

Chi Ruo blinked his eyes and listened for a long time, and finally asked: "Then where is your concubine mother now?"

Hua Ziyao pretended to be surprised, "Huh? Did you hear that?"

Then, he shook his head, "Dead, died in the prison."

"Amitabha!" Chi Ruo called out to the Buddha, "Now you are coming back here to take back what belongs to you?"

Hua Ziyao shook her head, "That doesn't belong to me, and I can't get it back."

Chiruo tilted his head, he felt that Hua Ziyao thought that way, and if it wasn't like this, why would he be a hostage to Yin He?

Hua Ziyao smiled and said, "For things that don't belong to me, I usually grab them and make them my own."

Chi Ruo turned to look at Hua Ziyao, who smiled at him, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, as if drinking wine.

It's just that the wine is highly poisonous.

Smelling it is sweet and mellow, drinking it brings back the flavor, and then the seven orifices bleed, the limbs are twisted, and he dies instantly.
