Golden Stage

The Longevity Banquet in the 26th year of Yuantai started with a hundred officials celebrating their birthdays and all the people had fun together, and ended with the emperor fainting and the queen having a miscarriage.

Yan Xiaohan was in a hurry to go back to deal with the case, so he could only send Fu Shen to Dongshengmen.He asked the little eunuch to go out and ask Yan's family members to wait at the gate of the palace. While there was no one around, he bowed and hugged him, and said: "I don't know when this case will go to trial. Don't wait for me at night. You Go to bed early."

Fu Shen was probably still thinking about what happened just now, the expression on his face was not relaxed, he nodded upon hearing this.

Yan Xiaohan said again: "I see that you didn't eat well at the palace banquet just now, go back and eat something, don't be hungry, don't forget to take your medicine."

Fu Shen finally got out of his thoughts, pulled Yan Xiaohan by the collar and pulled him in front of his eyes. It was not so much a kiss as a bump on his lips, and said arrogantly: "You are young, what is not easy to learn?" Old lady, shut it up for me, don't talk about it."

It's really a wink for the blind.Yan Xiaohan couldn't laugh or cry, he said in his heart that he usually kept it in his mouth for fear of melting and held it in his hands for fear of falling, this treasure, the Marquis, didn't appreciate it, next time he should not get out of bed for three days, so that he can appreciate the preciousness of an old lady, Learn to be content.

The two of them only had time to say a few gentle words, and the little eunuch over there came back to report.Yan Xiaohan watched the two of them disappear outside the palace gate, and the smile on his face gradually cooled down. He put on a hard heart, and when he turned back to the North Prison, he became that ruthless Lord Qincha Envoy again.

As soon as Fu Shen returned to the Yan Mansion, he locked himself in the house and told him not to disturb him. The servants noticed that he was in a bad mood, but no one dared to persuade him. Even Du Leng was blocked from the door.Until evening, someone boldly knocked on the door and asked him to eat, and said with trepidation that if he didn't eat, the master would be angry if he found out.

As soon as these words came out, Du Leng felt bad.A high-ranking person like Fu Shen hates others to threaten him the most, not to mention Yan Xiaohan, even the Heavenly King Lao Tzu is not easy to handle.

Sure enough, Fu Shen said coldly in the room: "I gave you shame, didn't I?"

The maid who was carrying the meal was about to kneel in fright, with tears in her eyes, she didn't want to leave or not.Du Lengyu couldn't bear it, and was about to send him away when he heard Fu Shen say, "...forget it, bring it in."

Huh? !

As Beiyan's military doctor, Du Leng knew too well what kind of virtue Fu Shen was.He said one thing in the army, once he lost his temper, it would be thunderous and furious, and his relatives would not recognize him.Under the accumulated prestige, few people dare to beat him directly.This temper is fine in business matters, but in daily life it appears to be particularly recalcitrant.Du Leng was once thrown out of the tent by the collar because he forced him to take medicine. It is really unimaginable that this person who gave in with just one word is the Jingning Hou he knew.

Fu Shen actually didn't have much appetite, but when he heard the maid say "Master will be angry", he remembered Yan Xiaohan saying to him that day "This is the first time I like someone so much".

He already likes himself so much, so what's the point of taking a step or two back for him?A man is a man, if something goes wrong outside, and he comes back to vent his anger on his family, wife and children, is he still a man?

Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by the beauty pass, but this is the case.

The palace remained busy until late at night, the emperor woke up in the afternoon, dragged his sick body and sent the queen and Yang Xu away.Exactly what caused the emperor to get so angry, the secret was unknown to outsiders, but Yan Xiaohan could hear it clearly, and even felt a little regretful that he didn't clean up the crown prince.

However, after this battle, the favor of the prince may be completely wiped out.

Feilongwei's progress here is not going well, Qingxu Temple has been copied to the bottom, and people who have contacts with Taoist Master Chunyang on weekdays have been interrogated one by one, but the source of the poison and the motive of the assassination are still a cloud of fog.Taoist Chunyang, on the other hand, was like a clam shell that fit perfectly, coercing and beckoning, tortured and tortured in turn, but he just didn't say a word.

Yan Xiaohan thought in his heart that if this continues, Feilongwei will become the next Jinwuwei.Just as he was thinking, Tang Guo walked out of the execution room and washed his hands indifferently.He carefully washed his ten pale and slender fingers one by one, raised his eyes and said to Yan Xiaohan, "He's already lost half his life, if he doesn't speak again tomorrow, there's nothing I can do about it."

"Come here first today, let me think about it again," Yan Xiaohan murmured, "I always feel that there is something weird about him, and he doesn't seem to be aimed at the Yang family... The concept of Qingxu has been passed down in Beijing for decades, and it can be considered The incense is at its peak, he is a monk, why don't he be his extraterrestrial expert, and join the court?"

Tang Guo could only skin the skin but not dissect it, he listened to his question blankly and returned the same puzzled look.

Yan Xiaohan: "...forget it, go back and rest, and try again tomorrow."

It was late at night when he got home, and the whole house had already fallen asleep, and the sleepy doorman came to open the door for him with a lamp.Yan Xiaohan walked into the courtyard lightly, the maid who was watching the night outside heard the movement, got up to help him change his clothes and wash up, and at the same time reported to him the situation in the mansion in the afternoon in a low voice.

Yan Xiaohan remembered that Fu Shen was obviously fine when he left the palace, so he pushed open the door as silently as possible while wondering.As soon as he took one foot, a question suddenly came from the darkness of the room: "Are you back?"

Yan Xiaohan relaxed his tense movements, walked to the table and lit the lamp: "Why haven't you slept yet?"

He turned his head to look at the dim candlelight, and saw Fu Shen sitting on the head of the bed in a thin jacket, his legs were only covered by the quilt, his eyes were slightly squinted because of the sudden light, and his thin silhouette had a strange look A sense of fragility and decadence.

"Can't sleep." Fu Shen said, "What's going on in the palace?"

Yan Xiaohan didn't answer his question. He took off his shoes and went to bed. The first thing he did was to pull up the quilt and wrap him tightly: "If you don't sleep here in the middle of the night to meditate, wearing a dress will exhaust your old man to death?"

The spring night in March was still very cold, and it was icy cold under the quilt, Yan Xiaohan touched him, and simply hugged him, shaking off the quilt to cover their bodies.Fu Shen was like a stray cat that had found its nest, it would not answer back when scolded, its head tilted, and it lay on Yan Xiaohan's shoulder as a pillow.

"Tell me, is it because you can't sleep, or is something on your mind?" Yan Xiaohan put one arm around his waist, and the other hand pinned his messy long hair behind his ears, "I heard that you are in a bad mood this afternoon, who messed with you?" Not happy, huh?"

Fu Shen kept his mouth tightly shut. He felt that he needed an opening to confide in, but he hadn't complained to anyone for so long that he forgot how to speak.There are thousands of words in my heart, but I don't know where to start.

For an adult man who is used to carrying responsibilities, confessing his confession is more difficult than cutting his chest open.

Yan Xiaohan didn't rush him, and flicked off the lights casually, and the darkness became the best hiding place, allowing him to slowly let go of his defenses.

After a long time, Fu Shen asked in a low voice, "How is the queen?"

"A cup of poisoned wine," Yan Xiaohan said calmly, "It was only said that he lost too much blood and died without treatment."

In the dark night, Fu Shen seemed to smile a bit: "That's right, the emperor can't possibly keep her alive."

Yan Xiaohan: "You know?"

Fu Shen: "Yes. The empress is not pregnant with a dragon species. The emperor has long since stopped setting foot in Kunning Palace. He could understand the situation in the palace at that time. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so angry that he would faint."

Yan Xiaohan's voice was rough: "You..."

Fu Shen admitted frankly: "I did it."

"..."

Yan Xiaohan almost jumped up from the bed as if his tail had been stepped on, and then he realized what Fu Shen meant, and slapped him on the arm dumbfoundingly: "Why did you answer the conversation so quickly! It's you who caused the empress to have a miscarriage." You didn't do it, you didn't do it to conceive the queen! Don't say such ambiguous words for a man with a family! Are you trying to scare me to death?"

Fu Shen rubbed his sore arm, secretly disliking him for being surprised, but the heavy gloom in his heart was strangely dissipated by Yan Xiaohan's reaction.

"Okay, let me repeat. The Empress' miscarriage at the Longevity Banquet was planned by my people long ago." Fu Shen said, "There is a medicine in her daily diet. It's fine to take alone, but it's cool if it goes well with wine. The effect of removing blood stasis. The queen was pregnant for three months, and the fetal image was unstable. She drank a few glasses of wine at the birthday banquet, and immediately had a miscarriage."

Yan Xiaohan never expected that there would be such a secret: "You have placed people beside the queen? When did it happen?"

"It's not intentional, it's a long story," Fu Shen asked, "Do you remember that I saved a little eunuch in the polo match a few years ago?"

"Later, he was assigned to work as a housekeeper in Kunning Palace. With his ability to comb his hair, he won the favor of the queen. After I returned to Beijing, he sent me a message from the palace, saying that it was between the queen and a certain guard. There is an affair."

"He wanted to repay his kindness, and he also wanted to avenge me. About a month ago, he sent another letter saying that the empress seemed to be pregnant. But the emperor hadn't visited the Kunning Palace for several months, and the child was determined not to be kept. But the empress But he was reluctant, and even wanted to take advantage of the Longevity Festival to seduce the emperor to stay overnight so that the fake would become real."

"At that time, I thought, they can't just be so cheap."

He once broke his liver and gallbladder in the torrential rain, and once made an oath of "returning in the future".

In front of everyone, the empress put a green hat on the emperor, but Emperor Yuantai swallowed his anger for the sake of face, pinched his nose to recognize this bastard, and fainted in anger.How does this taste compare to the humiliation of giving a marriage that day?

And once the prince's biological mother has such scandals, the prince's good life will come to an end.

A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, blood for blood, not to mention what Emperor Yuantai did was a thousand times more ruthless than Fu Shen.He was invited by Emperor Yuantai to watch this elaborate farce, and his heart should have been filled with the pleasure of revenge, wishing that Emperor Yuantai would die early, but the world is unpredictable, and a Taoist priest Chunyang happened to be killed at the Wanshou Banquet.

At the critical moment, Fu Shen saved Emperor Yuantai's life.

The accident happened so suddenly that he didn't have time to think, all his actions were subconscious reactions for a moment, and when he finally understood what he had done, everything was a foregone conclusion.

Fu Shen suddenly realized that the biggest buffoon in this farce was actually himself.

The author has something to say: A little explanation about this chapter:

General Fu is actually a very moral person (really moral, not joking), he actually doesn't like to play such secret schemes like drugging.But when the truth was revealed at that time, he was really mad, so he decided to expose this matter by unscrupulous means.But he is essentially a loyal and patriotic young man (with the limitations of the times), subconsciously saved the emperor, and then thought why should I save him?Are you sick?Am I so cheap?Stand up again?So it fell into depression.

What's more, he feels that although the emperor, queen and prince are nothing, the child is actually very innocent. This method of revenge is a bit too much, and it does not conform to his usual principles of life, so he got into the corner of self-loathing.

The character of the protagonist is like this, not completely positive, and I have been trying to restore the historical limitations of him. An ancient person who was born and bred without rebirth, no cheats, no hacks, no system, may have certain forward-looking, but Does not have (excessive) vision beyond the times.

So everyone, don't take this article as a cool article. Although our protagonists torture to extract confessions and kill people without batting an eyelid, they are like the author in their hearts. They are Buddhist salted fish who just want to retire.
