Qinse is in the imperial court, forgetting both favor and disgrace

Zhao Rang asked Changle to rest, and asked for pen and ink again. He stayed up all night and kept working hard.

At the end of writing, not only the wrists are filled with lead, but also the eyes are blackened.This poisoning attack may be due to the injury, it lasted for a long time, and the impact was severe. Only the attack just after being poisoned can match it. There was a burning pain in the chest unceremoniously.

He put the pen on the pen holder, stood up and turned his wrist, only feeling pain and numbness in his lower back, he couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile.

The sage said that he "stands at thirty", but Zhao Rang is about to end his life at this age - thinking of his wife and sister who died tragically in a foreign land, he does not feel sorry for himself, but regrets that he could not rescue the child, nor... Wang Shiding north.

After a slight sigh, he sat down again, stacked the Wanyan books neatly, read them one by one, and confirmed that the meaning and sentences were correct before giving up.

It was already past Chen's time by the end of this inspection. During the period, the palace maid brought breakfast, and Changle also came to visit several times because of worry. Zhao Rang didn't realize it at all, and devoted himself to this Wanyan book.

After a short rest, it was time for lunch. Changle came in with the meal in his hands. Seeing that Zhao Rang was still sitting in front of the desk, motionless, he couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

She put the food box on the round table, opened it and said with a smile: "It smells so good... eat it while it's still hot, no matter what, you have to eat."

When Chang Le mentioned it, Zhao Rang also felt hungry. He asked Chang Le to accompany him, and Chang Le did not refuse. The brother and sister sat at the table, but neither of them raised their chopsticks.

Feeling depressed and melancholy, he naturally suppressed his appetite, and the delicacies specially prepared by the imperial dining room in front of him were all tasteless.

Although Changle has long been used to the warmth and coldness of human beings, and has grown up with the white eyes, but after all, she is young, has not experienced too many life and death, and is facing her lost and recovered elder brother who treats her very well and tenderly. He asked in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty is really going...to take you away tonight?"

Of course she didn't expect that the emperor wanted Zhao Rang to be treated as a concubine and recruited to the Tiangan Palace to serve as a servant. She thought that Zhao Rang would go directly to the execution ground if he went there.

I don't know if the traitor will be executed and whether relatives will be allowed to collect the corpse for burial. Now that she has lost her lowly status and is an unmarried daughter, it is logical that she is qualified to take care of her brother's funeral.

It's just that the person in front of me who smiles like a spring breeze will see the sun rise in the east tomorrow, so the yin and yang will be separated?

Zhao Rang saw that Changle's eyes were tearful, her nose was red and swollen, and the beauty looked completely soaked in soup. After being slightly stunned, Zhao Rang soon understood, and his heart softened. He randomly picked up a recent dish and put it in her bowl, and said with a light smile: " Eat it while it's hot, and don't sprinkle any more salt in it."

Chang Le was puzzled, Zhao Rang wiped away her tears with a smile: "You, the tears you shed are enough to spice up three meals a day."

Just like ordinary people's elder brothers teasing and teasing younger sisters, Changle couldn't help smiling at first, but then thought that this tenderness would disappear in a blink of an eye, and was even more heartbroken, and tears were like broken pearls.

Zhao Rang also felt unspeakably uncomfortable. He had betrayed his country and self-reliance, and harmed his family. He already had a sense of guilt, and he couldn't wait to bring the brotherhood that he had owed for many years to this little girl. Unfortunately, it made her sad pain.

During the burning of all five internal organs, Zhao Rang couldn't say any words of comfort, but stretched out his hand to embrace Changle, and Ren Changle buried his head in it, crying bitterly.

After a long time, when Changle stopped crying, with two red and swollen eyes, he got up from Zhao Rang's arms, and the food was already cold.

Zhao Rang caressed the top of her head affectionately, and said: "Changle, I won't hide it from you. The emperor calls tonight, and I may never come back." Seeing Changle's nose twitch, he hurriedly said, "Don't be too scared. Sad. Although your elder brother bears the stigma of rebellion, but..."

Gritting his teeth, Zhao Rang said firmly, "This heart is only for Dongchu, and I am loyal to the sun, the moon and the sky, and I am worthy of my ancestors. I don't want to express my heart to others, but you must understand, You are not the sister of a traitor, your father and brother are all dignified Han men who died loyal to the country..."

At the end of the conversation, Zhao Rang couldn't help but choke slightly.

Changle's delicate body couldn't help trembling with Zhao Rang's words. She cried and threw herself into Zhao Rang's arms, crying: "I believe, I believe! But why didn't you tell your majesty? You tell your majesty, you are not a traitor. Tell him not to kill you!"

Zhao Rang didn't answer, but silently hugged Changle tightly.

Why can't I express my difficulties and beg for forgiveness?

Because even a dignified man with a clear conscience still has a wife and children.As the saying goes, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and love and righteousness are always fighting each other. It is not an unacceptable fate to suffer to the end, to be ruined and humiliated.

Since God made him unable to be a responsible husband and father, at least he can fight with his flesh and blood to keep them safe.

If Chang Le didn't want Chang Le to consider himself a relative of a traitor and feel inferior, even if he died, Zhao Rang would not want to say these words.

He hugged Changle, his heart was churning, thinking of Li Lang who put him in such a situation, he couldn't tell what it was like.

At this time, Li Lang also had to mention Zhao Rang because of Cheng Yaojin who jumped out halfway.

After the early court, I met the ministers who had other important matters in the imperial study, and then I reviewed the memorials.Li Lang handled official business extremely fast, he finished reading the memorial in less than an hour, and was just about to order his attendants to bring over some food and drink, when he heard that the queen had come to visit and asked to see him.

Li Lang sighed secretly, knowing that the visitor was not kind, but he couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so he still agreed to pass on the message.

The couple of the Tian family also treated each other with courtesy between the emperor and the empress. Empress Xie went into battle in a dress, wearing a round crown with emeralds on the outside, decorated with nine dragons and four phoenixes, wearing a dark green robe, and a vermilion skirt embroidered with golden dragon and cloud patterns. As soon as they met each other, they bowed down deeply and called out "Holy Majesty". Before Li Lang could respond, he said, "The prince is ill, and I hope the Holy Majesty will take pity on you."

Li Lang frowned when he heard the words, his displeasure was evident: "Why are you sick again?"

This prince is also Li Lang's heart disease. He has been busy with government affairs since he became the throne from his youthful disappointment to the Southern and Northern Wars. There are dragon veins.

Not to mention, the grandson of the Xie family was not a worry-free doll from the womb, with congenital deficiencies that were hard to make up for later in life, fragile and vulnerable to cold in winter and heatstroke in summer, often sick in bed, There are not many days of peace and prosperity throughout the year.

Li Lang, who was somewhat alienated from the prince because of his natal family, couldn't help but dislike this weak and gentle son, and felt upset when he thought that he might pass the throne to this helpless Adou in the future.

But now that the power of the relatives has not been eliminated, and Empress Xie is a jealous woman who is used to making waves in the sea of ​​jealousy, even if Li Lang really allows a concubine Cheng En to conceive, the possibility of the dragon fetus forming and landing is probably very small.

Besides...was it a blessing to be born in the emperor's family?Don't rush to suffer...

With this almost treasonous thought, Li Lang took the issue of heirs very lightly. If the crown prince was not suitable to inherit the Zongzong, he would set up another heir in the clan. Of course, this matter can be put on the back burner, and there is no rush.

Coincidentally, when there was a rift between the Xie family, the empress came again to inform the prince of his illness, and made it clear that he wanted the emperor to move to visit him. Seeing that the emperor was angry, she was not in a hurry, and complained: "Isn't this the Holy Majesty's strict requirements? A child who is more than three years old is not sensible. He has to get up and read at the right time. The child is hard, how can he bear it? Even before he was released, he was enlightened at the age of six, and it has never been so early."

Li Lang wanted to say something more, but he held back after all, and said indifferently: "Okay, it happens to be fine, so let's go and see him."

The empress winked and made all the attendant ladies and servants retreat, and turned to Li Lang with a straight face and said: "I heard that the Holy Majesty has admitted a lowly woman, is it true?"

Li Lang said with a smile: "As expected, you can't hide anything from the empress of the palace. It's just that girl, I have ordered the Ministry of Rites to remove her humble status."

The Queen's birth was not much similar to Xie Lian's, except that a pair of big eyes were exactly the same, which did not look heroic, but set off a hostility. At this time, she stared those big eyes round again, and said to Li Lang: "Don't you think so?" Is it really Zhao's surname?"

"It's really Zhao's surname." Li Lang said, "Since the queen asks, then you have to worry about the canonization. And after the counter-insurgency army returns triumphantly, the gift can be made."

Empress Xie did not expect to receive such a reply, the emperor had preemptively struck her, and no matter how tactful she was to persuade her, her mouth was silted up. After a moment of speechlessness, a layer of frost appeared between her brows, and she said angrily: "This matter, Your Majesty will forgive you!" The concubine is helpless. The concubine's siblings died not long ago, and they are depressed and grieved. It is really difficult for the emperor to handle the concubine. Besides..."

A serious look suddenly appeared on her face, she raised her head slightly, and her voice followed sonorously: "The Zhao family is the concubine's brother-killing enemy, how can the Holy One allow him to enter the palace, and the concubine's body is in charge of the middle palace, if so It has become a place where filth is hidden, but how can I see my ancestors?"

Li Lang smiled slightly, and replied softly: "Since you have the self-consciousness of the mistress of the world, you should set an example in the six palaces, raise the prince well, and be filial to the queen mother. If I can have descendants and prosper, I will never forget your contribution to the queen. "

Seeing the queen's eyes wide open as if they were going to burst out, Li Lang didn't want to talk too much, he wanted to let this woman relying on her family know that the dirty deeds she committed in private were not airtight and no one knew about it.

At least the emperor knew it well, he could bear it, he was already a holy family, so don't make further progress if you are smart and sensible - but Li Lang guessed that Empress Xie was like her father's brother, who regarded him as a puppet emperor and held him in her hands , Round and flat as you like.

On the way to visit the sick prince, Li Lang suddenly felt lonely.

The trouble with the master lies in trusting people.Believe in others, then control others.Li Jun's death is heavy, and the owner is in danger.

People on the throne, even if they are a couple of flesh and blood, are not trustworthy, just like when he realized the benefits of power over the world because of Zhao Rang and devoted himself to it, it seems like reincarnation, he is destined to have no blood relatives in this life.

Even Zhao Rang... Li Lang smiled wryly, but he was just a traitor.

He was just a traitor whom he hoped to use imperial power to protect and submit to coercion, not really the person who would know him for life and stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
