The prince is seriously ill

Chapter 2 Devil's Foot

Concubine Rong was lying on her side on the bed, her eyes were bloodshot, she didn't know how long she hadn't slept.What the hell is happening here?She looked at the child who ate and slept with resentment on her face, it would be great if you died, why did you give birth to trouble me?Are you willing to drag me to hell with you?you devil!This black-hearted monster!

There was a fishy sweetness in her throat, Concubine Rong suppressed her nausea and swallowed it.After all, paper can't contain the fire. There are many eyeliners in the palace. The news of the second prince's broken leg will soon reach the ears of the emperor, and she has no time left.Lan Zhi is right, you can lose your grace, but you can't lose your life. If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood.She can't just sit and wait to die, she has to give it a go, she has to race against the emperor, and she has to get everything ready before he gets the news.

For three days, she did everything she could to prepare.Three days later, when she heard the court lady report that "the emperor and the empress are rushing to Zhaohua Palace", the psychological defense line that she had built up with great difficulty collapsed like a landslide!A catastrophe was imminent, Concubine Rong's legs went limp, and she slumped on the toffee chair.

Next, she must complete the most crucial and last thing!Whether it can survive or not depends largely on it.

Concubine Rong quietly stood up from her chair, and took out a dagger from her bosom.The cold light shines, and a white stripe is reflected in the depth of the pupil.Her hands were trembling, her chest was heaving up and down, and her eyes were fixed on the sleeping baby.After a long time, she finally gritted her teeth and slowly moved towards the child.Those who should come can't escape, so now, she can only bite the bullet and move forward.

"Hold the little prince." Concubine Rong said tremblingly, holding the handle of the knife tightly with both hands together.The baby was right in front of her eyes, and the closer she got, the more she felt that her steps were filled with lead, and it was so heavy that it was extremely difficult to even lift it up.This is her child, this is the meat that fell from her body in October!

The smooth face of the knife reflected the profile of the little prince sleeping soundly. She felt that her heart was being swallowed by something, and she was completely unconscious!No, I can't be softhearted, I just want to cut off a piece of carrion, if I don't cut it off, both mother and child will die!There will be a little pain, but you have to trust your mother, bear with it and it will pass!Let mother teach you what cruelty is today, here, you have to learn it sooner or later!

The dagger that cut iron like mud was raised high in the air, and then fell down suddenly. Immediately, a broken foot without bones rolled to the ground like a piece of tofu.

The dagger slammed down with a clang, and there was a piercing cry.

The belated abnormal crying resounded through the sky, and blood sprayed onto Concubine Rong's sluggish face.

The boneless broken foot writhed unwillingly on the ground, and finally failed to wriggle like a bug.Just like cattle and sheep that have just been slaughtered, they are clearly decapitated, but they still have to use their last bit of strength to protest the brutality of being slaughtered.

Liang Wang Xunzhi kicked in the door, bringing a gust of wind.

The broken foot beats twice for the last time, and is forever silent.

"Your Majesty, the second prince is a monster who can't see the light, a leech monster reincarnated, a ghost from hell who has harmed the country and the country!" The queen's words still ring in my ears, is this actually true?

The rumors are true!

How could he be my prince?

How could the royal family give birth to such a boneless monster?

Xun Zhi froze on the spot, his furious eyes fixed on the lump of blood and flesh on the ground, his hands behind his back clenched into fists, and his joints were clenched.It's really my good concubine and my good prince, you forced me, don't blame me for being cruel!

Concubine Rong thumped and knelt down in front of him, "This concubine is guilty, I beg the emperor to punish me!"

"What is the crime of loving my concubine?" Xun Zhi paused.

"The concubine was a mother in vain, the second prince was assassinated, his right foot was cut off, the imperial doctor was bandaging up, the concubine did not protect well, I am ashamed of the emperor and the prince, I implore the emperor to come down." She knew that the assassin was fake and everyone knew it well Ming, but if the truth hurts the face of the royal family, then the falsehood will become the truth. Anyway, the truth is up to this person. She knows him too well. The dignity of the royal family is far more important than the truth of the matter.

"What do you think the noble concubine should be guilty of?" Xun Zhi glanced at the vermilion plump flesh lying on the ground, and couldn't help sneering.

Concubine Rong's face was as white as paper, and she cried: "The concubine is willing to apologise with death." It is said that a husband and wife will be gracious for a hundred days, but how can there be any kindness or affection in this deep palace?A trace of luck vanished, this person had made up his mind to kill, he wanted to die, he wanted to die, he would only die faster if he wanted to survive.

"In that case, I will do as you wish!" Xun Zhi said expressionlessly.

Concubine Rong fell on the ground and trembled.Thankfully it was all to be expected, and thankfully she hadn't pinned her hopes on his kindness.Which one of the ninety-five people who won the championship did not step on the corpse to rise to the top?Now all she can do is stall for time.Lan Zhi, you have to hurry up, whether I can live or not depends entirely on you.

"Give wine!" Xun Zhi shouted, his voice echoing in the empty room.

Concubine Rong's body trembled, hearing him say those two words, she felt that all the strength in her body was exhausted, she was paralyzed on the ground, her eyes were dark, she shook her head, and gradually returned to normal.Qiang cheered up, bowed and said: "Thank you, my concubine."

There was a pain in her heart for no reason, Concubine Rong covered her chest with her hands, and suddenly felt something soft, her heart moved, and just about to say something, she heard Chang Gonggong said: "Your Majesty, the imperial wine is here."

Xun Zhi closed his eyes, opened them after a while, his long and narrow eyes were only indifferent, "serve Concubine Rong to be subdued."

"The emperor bestows wine, and the ministers and concubines dare not refuse to accept it. Before leaving, there is something to return to the emperor." Concubine Rong took out a brocade pouch from around her neck. The color of the brocade pouch was a little old. Mandarin ducks of water.I would like to be a lovebird in the sky, and I would like to be a Lianli branch in the earth. What a beautiful poem, what a beautiful vow, but now they are all in vain.

"This brocade bag was worn by the concubine, and the contents inside were given by the emperor when he was lucky to concubine. The concubine always wears it by his side day and night. The world is changing, and everything will be like a cloud that day. People who are about to die don't dare to stay. This thing may damage the emperor's fortune, I beg the emperor to take it back." Concubine Rong broke down in tears.

Xun Zhi's eyelids moved. He knew that it contained a strand of hair that he had tied with her on a whim, so he reached out and took it.

Eunuch Chang waited silently, patiently waiting for the final order.

Xun Zhi glanced at the disgusting broken foot, gradually squeezed the kit in his hand, and threw it to the ground, "Do it!"

"What's the fuss?" A graceful and luxurious woman came in. The woman was slightly fat, with a few wrinkles around her eyes, but her skin was well maintained, and a string of Buddhist beads was hung around her neck.

"Mother!" Xun Yu lowered his eyes and saluted.

"See the Queen Mother!" Everyone knelt down.

When Concubine Rong heard this, her tears fell, and she fell on the ground and cried aggrievedly. If Lan Gu was a little later, all that would be left to them would be her dead body.

"Excuse me!" the queen mother waved her hand and said angrily, "what's the big deal to die and live here? The second prince was assassinated. Although Concubine Rong was guilty of not protecting her well, the crime was not fatal. The matter has come to this, the most important thing is to catch the assassin." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the second prince and frowned, "Prince, the queen mother has a few words to say to you alone."

"You all go down," Xun Zhi said.

"Prince, my mother knows all about the second prince's affairs! The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, and the emperor's son must not make too much noise. Although Concubine Rong was born in a humble way, she is well-educated, virtuous and intelligent. It is really wrong to give birth to a different son. As I wished, the previous deception was only out of self-protection, and there was no intention of doing anything wrong. Moreover, I decisively cut off her other legs, and borrowed the assassin's words, it not only preserved the royal face, but also gave her her own steps. Why should the emperor Kill them all?"

"As for the second prince, he was born with a different appearance. If he is not benevolent, he is a great evil. Although he cannot be reused, he is still a child of the royal family. The first prince died early, and now the entire royal family only has one child, the second prince. If..." The woman coughed softly He coughed, "Of course, the queen mother is just making an analogy. If the emperor's son has no one to succeed him, having a seedling is much better than nothing. You need to understand this!"

Xun Zhi nodded in agreement.On the same day, the imperial decree was issued to Zhaohua Palace.

"The noble concubine Zhou's temperament is too arbitrary, and she deceives the emperor and neglects her, and her crime should be punished. However, thinking that the prince Yu was young, Daliang established his foundation with benevolence and filial piety, and the empress dowager Long En, I also think of the friendship of the marriage, so I will spare him the death penalty. From now on, I will be demoted to a commoner, and I will confine you to the Zhaohua Palace from top to bottom, and you will not be allowed to leave without my will. Make him change his face, bring up his youngest son, Xun Yu, and learn his virtues so that he will not repeat the same mistakes. Drink this."

Eunuch Chang finished reading the holy will, and said to the kneeling human: "Concubine Rong, take the order quickly, the servant is still waiting to go back and return to order."

"The concubine accepts the decree, thank the emperor for his kindness." Concubine Rong accepted the imperial decree tremblingly, and the big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.His life is saved, although he can no longer take a step out of Zhaohua Palace, he is still alive, and as long as he is alive, he may catch the opportunity to go out.It's just that this matter of favor is over after all.Now she has nothing but a second prince.Yu'er, it's a good thing that your father only has you as a prince. If not, how would the Queen Mother be willing to help her?

At this moment, she has clearly realized that there is no other way to go, except that mother is more valuable than son.This is of course a very risky adventure, as long as the emperor has a second prince, he will definitely not make a crippled prince.But now that all the roads are blocked, she can only gamble. She has to put all her chips on the person who is least likely to ascend the throne, and has to bet that there will never be such a big Liang dynasty. The second prince is born!She knew that there was little hope of success, but no matter how young she was, there was still hope. If there was no hope, how would she survive this long road?

In the past, his focus was on the emperor, but from now on, she can only rely on the second prince for everything!It takes at most one year to turn a small fish into a big fish, but if you want to turn the most unpopular disabled prince into a real dragon emperor, it will take ten or twenty years.Ten years and 20 years?Will she survive to that time?

As if thinking of something, Concubine Rong felt a pain in her chest, which caused a violent cough, she hurriedly covered it with a square handkerchief, and when her heart calmed down a little, she took her hand away in a daze.I saw a few pools of dazzling scarlet imprinted on the pure white square handkerchief, and the chill suddenly rose from the soles of my feet and quickly reached my heart.She was startled, and she held the square handkerchief in her palm calmly, and sat down without a word.

She felt that the whole person was not her own, her feet were sore and heavy, her head was dizzy and heavy, and her eyes were swollen and painful.So tired, she seemed to feel that life was passing by at a visible speed, and her body was seriously overdrawn. She just wanted to sleep now, and fell asleep with her head covered.

However, when she really lay down on the bed, she found that she couldn't fall asleep anyway.

Close your eyes, it might feel better if you close them, she said to herself.But as soon as she closed her eyes, the scenes of living in Japan appeared clearly in front of her eyes like a scroll.

She saw the scene where she almost starved to death when she was nine years old, and also saw the scene where she had just gone to the supervisor of ceremonies to learn court rules, and then the scene of being a handyman in the crown prince's uterus, and the scene of being favored by the prince.Later when Xun Zhi came to the throne, she was conferred the title of Concubine Rong, then Concubine Gui, then the cup of imperial wine that Eunuch Chang almost drank in his hand, and finally, all these disappeared, leaving only a bloody The broken foot jumped into the screen...

Can't think about it anymore, she told herself, but the bloody foot is like a curse, and nothing can erase it.

Falling asleep in a daze, she had a dream, dreaming that Xun Zhi wanted her to stay in Zhaohua Palace with peace of mind, and then touched her face and told her that she would come out soon, and told her not to worry ...

After waking up from the dream, Concubine Rong burst into tears, she knew it was time to return to the cold reality.The second prince is hungry, she is going to breastfeed him, and she will patiently raise him to adulthood.Besides him, who else could lead her out of this sunless prison?
