Three anecdotes

Chapter 24 23. Conflict

Cardinal Jin laughed lightly, "It turns out that you are making a fuss about that maid named He again. I killed her, queen, what do you want to do?"

Shang Chengbi turned his head, Cardinal Jin bit his lip, "Why, can't you kill one of your women?"

Shang Chengbi just glanced at him, and said to the two people kneeling on the ground, "Ask someone who can talk to come and talk to me."

Cardinal Jin unconsciously lowered his head, and the old man and Hua Dousheng looked at each other and kowtowed silently.

Shang Chengbi's eyes were cold, "Since there is no one who can speak out, don't block the way!" He stood up suddenly, and pulled Cardinal Jin into his arms, "Let's go."

Cardinal Jin gave a jolt, and Shang Chengbi kissed him on the cheek, wrapped his upturned buttocks in his hand, and said close to his ear, "I'll deal with you later!"

"I—" Sitting back on the carriage again, Cardinal Jin suddenly didn't dare to rely on Shang Chengbi anymore.Tao'er nestled on the other side of the carriage very knowingly, hiding a pair of green eyes in her paws, "I will not just stand by and watch you being bullied, I will close my eyes."

Shang Chengbi waited for Wu Yinglong to report that he had dealt with those people, then he pulled Cardinal Jin into his arms, turned him over, and slapped him on the buttocks, "You really don't let me worry."

Cardinal Jin suddenly felt aggrieved, and rested his chin on his lap, "Do you think I am willing to do these things that harm morality, and it is easy for me to survive in the palace alone?"

"Crack!" Shang Chengbi slapped him on the buttocks, "Are you reasonable? After all, it's my own flesh and blood——"

Cardinal Jin leaned forward, pouted, "It hurts."

Shang Chengbi had no choice but to pull him over and raised his hand. Cardinal Jin shouted, "Don't hit!"

Shang Chengbi looked at him, "What's wrong?"

Cardinal Jin raised his face, "I don't believe it, you really don't know."

Shang Chengbi heaved a long sigh, "The empress said you did the matter about the court lady, and you said it was the empress who did it. I'm too lazy to take care of it, so let's forget it. I didn't expect her to come here again today—"

"Hmph," Cardinal Jin snorted coldly, "If I really want to clean up a court lady, can people still see her dead body?"

Shang Chengbi was noncommittal, "Really?"

Cardinal Jin said, "The empress has no children, and she probably understands that you will not let her give birth to your own child. The maid was arranged by the empress. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence."

Shang Chengbi said, "I know this."

Cardinal Jin said, "Later, I don't know what the queen thought, but suddenly she wanted to kill her and frame me."

Shang Chengbi said, "I'm not confused either. You didn't do it, you just say no and it's done."

Cardinal Jin twisted his hair with his fingers, "I was angry with you at the time, and I also lost my temper. What's more, she falsely accused me, and you didn't say a word for me."

Shang Chengbi followed his long hair, "At that time, there was still something to rely on at home. However, I did not believe in her one-sided words."

Cardinal Jin said, "Back then she quarreled that I caused that court lady to have a miscarriage, and she brought a group of people to Xingshi to inquire about her crimes. She said openly and secretly that I did it. Not only did you not comfort me, you even went to her palace for several days. I feel uncomfortable, and it happens that the court lady doesn't know right from wrong, I killed her by mistake for a while, just to be angry with you. Now she is turning over my old account, and I haven't discussed her old account of murdering the emperor's heir with her yet. "

Shang Chengbi slapped him on the buttocks, "I asked someone to investigate what happened back then. The court lady used a method to get pregnant, so the baby was destined to be unsafe. The queen didn't suddenly want to kill her, but wanted to murder her." The fetus in her stomach was blamed on you, but you found out unexpectedly."

Cardinal Jin propped himself up, "Since you know everything, you can still tolerate her for so many years!"

Shang Chengbi pinched his face, "When I was enthroned, the Yu family had a lot of help. Could it be that she was punished because of a court lady? What's more, you didn't do it, so you should stay away from that court lady." Yes, but you must kill her with such vicious means, and let others see that it is your unique martial arts—"

Cardinal Jin supported his head, "I just want to try, are you willing to kill me for a court lady?"

Shang Chengbi raised his palm and slapped her several times, "I don't want to know why you killed her, and I don't want to guard you like I guarded the queen. Chonghua, back then, you treated me, and I treated you. Completely sincere, these years now, you should also know my thoughts, some things, some words, what should be said, just tell me all."

Cardinal Jin shuddered suddenly. He would say that, which meant many things. In fact, he already knew.Cardinal Jin bit his lip and remained silent, Shang Chengbi patted his buttocks, "I'm not forcing you, this time, I just want to walk around with you, don't take it too seriously."

"If one day I do something wrong that you cannot forgive, will you still regret that you once loved me?" Cardinal Jin asked.

Shang Chengbi didn't speak for a long time, until Cardinal Jin propped himself up from his lap, "Why did you do something I can't forgive?"

Cardinal Jin leaned against the stiff wall of the carriage, "Why don't you pretend that I didn't ask?"

Shang Chengbi patted his leg, "Chonghua, I'm afraid sometimes, I'm afraid you will do something that I can't forgive."

Cardinal Jin didn't speak all the time, and Shang Chengbi suddenly didn't know what to say, as if the thin layer of trust had been pierced, and he and he would never go back to the past, even if there was nothing to look up to and talk to in the past. Respectful trust.

Wu Yinglong knocked on the carriage door, Shang Chengbi frowned, Cardinal Jin said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Shang Chengbi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, "You can talk now."

Cardinal Jin took his hand and said, "Jia--"

Shang Chengbi threw him away, "Who is this time?" He pushed open the meaningless carved door of the carriage.

Wu Yinglong said, "The Empress invites the Emperor to return to Beijing."

Shang Chengbi's voice seemed to freeze the willow branches rippling in the breeze in time, Wu Yinglong said, "The empress reports, the imperial concubine is ill."

"How long has it been since I left Beijing? You are so quick!" Shang Chengbi grabbed the whip from Wu Yinglong's hand, and lashed at the two fine horses riding side by side, "Go back to the palace!"

"I didn't do it." Cardinal Jin lowered his head.Tao'er patted his master's snow-white boots carefully with his paw.

"You already knew that the queen would not let her go." Shang Chengbi looked at him.

"I'm sorry." Cardinal Jin bowed his head.

Shang Chengbi grabbed Cardinal Jin's neck, "Give me a word!"

"I thought she wouldn't dare!" Cardinal Jin said.

Shang Chengbi glared at him, "You hate the queen, and you also hate that woman surnamed Lu. You know that the queen will not allow anyone to ride on her head, let alone allow the son of the imperial concubine of the Eastern Palace to be born, so you clearly You hate the Lu family so much, and you recognize her child as a son. You clearly despise that woman so much, but you want me to make her a noble concubine! You are forcing me, Jin Chonghua, you are forcing me! The more I love you Mrs. Lu, the queen doesn't want her to give birth to this child! This is your and my child, and I promised to be his father and king, and I want you to be his father-in-law! Jin Chonghua, I have thought about making him his father! Prince! Why are you forcing me! Why are you forcing me to hate the queen! Jin Chonghua, why!"

Cardinal Jin was tightly strangled by him, his face as white as floating paper was dazed with a kind of dying pink, he tried to breathe in, but he couldn't breathe, Shang Chengbi's hands clenched tighter and tighter , Tao'er anxiously grabbed the wall of the carriage with her claws, making a piercing sound.

Cardinal Jin slowly closed his eyes, as if waiting to die.

Shang Chengbi finally let go of the hand holding his neck, Cardinal Jin panted heavily, "I hate the queen!"

"Then you can sacrifice our child?" Shang Chengbi glared at him.

Cardinal Jin spat out a mouthful of blood and sprayed it on Shang Chengbi's black skirt, "The child belongs to her! Not ours!"

"Chonghua! Chonghua!" Shang Chengbi quickly hugged him.

Cardinal Jin held his cheek with his slender fingers and stroked his handsome eyebrows, "How do you want me to sit and watch a woman give birth to you?"

Shang Chengbi directly pushed him off his lap, the carriage bumped, and Cardinal Jin rolled in a circle, "Why are you so vicious! If you want to kill those women, how many times have I ever blamed you! If you want to deal with the queen, I will follow you!" You said I would do it myself! What else can you do!"

"Meow--" Tao'er licked Cardinal Jin's face miserably.

Shang Chengbi kicked him on the waist, "Do you think I will deal with her if she presses her every step of the way and can't help but kill Mrs. Lu and hurt our child? Yes! I really care about this Child, have you ever thought about why I care about this child."

Cardinal Jin propped himself up with one arm, "Because of me."

Shang Chengbi raised his skirt, "It's because of you! It's because of you that I can't tolerate anyone hurting this child! Why do you take advantage of my care for you to deal with me! I said, I will do everything for you! You do it, Jin Chonghua, I gave you a chance, why do you use me again and again! Use me!"

Shang Chengbi looked up and shouted, his internal strength was too deep, Wu Yinglong could no longer control the two well-trained horses.The good horse was frightened and ran forward desperately. Shang Chengbi slammed his palm on the roof of the carriage, only to hear a "bang", the carriage was split from the roof, and Tao'er got out first.Cardinal Jin was held in his hand, and Shang Chengbi lifted his breath, stood on the back of the galloping horse, and swung Cardinal Jin out like a paper kite. It took six somersaults before falling.

Before he could stand still, Shang Chengbi had already grabbed him, and punched him at the corner of the lips. Cardinal Jin stepped back and held his hand. How could Shang Chengbi tolerate such offense under his fury? With a sudden rise in consciousness, Cardinal Jin flew up, swept three feet away, and said in a voice as far away as the sky, "If you don't regret it, just catch up and kill me!"

Shang Chengbi swung his fist, wherever the wind of the fist went, the grass stems on the ground were uprooted, and dust flew up.

Cardinal Jin stood five steps away from him, "Kill her and avenge our children."

Shang Chengbi clenched his fists, looked at Cardinal Jin's eyes that could never see love or hate, and finally turned around and strode away.

Cardinal Jin didn't move until he had walked nearly a mile. Where Shang Chengbi had just stood, there were footprints two and a half inches deep. Cardinal Jin squatted down and gently closed his eyes.Shadow guard Chen Sha hurried over, "Your Majesty, Concubine Lu's headache is much better."

Cardinal Jin was taken aback, "Is she just having a headache?"

Shen Sha nodded, "Yes."

Cardinal Jin sneered, "Queen, it seems that I really underestimated you."

Shang Chengbi hurried back to the palace, only to learn that Mrs. Lu only suffered from occasional headaches, which had nothing to do with the unborn baby at all, so he couldn't help feeling depressed.He was glad that Lu's fetus was saved, but also hated that Cardinal Jin really had such thoughts.In this round, they completely fell into the Queen's trap. Cardinal Jin thought that forcing Shang Chengbi to enshrine the Lu family would make the Queen attack the Dragonborn. A rift arose.

It was the first time that Shang Chengbi sat drinking by the chessboard in the imperial garden, and Cardinal Jin was not by his side.Wang Chuanxi had reported Linyuanhou to return to the palace, but he deliberately did not go back to Qifeng Pavilion.He has always known that Cardinal Jin has a big heart, and he hopes that the world will be peaceful. He also knows that his heart is small, and he can't even accommodate a woman.This child came as a surprise. He tried his best to protect him, but he was also prepared to lose it.Unexpectedly, Cardinal Jin actually told him personally that he was willing to adopt him as a foster son.It has always been Shang Chengbi's wish to have a son they have in common. He even thought that Cardinal Jin would be happy too.It's a pity that when he forced himself to be granted the Lu family step by step, he knew that Chonghua thought differently from him.

It's not that he doesn't know, it's just that he doesn't want to expose it, he just hopes that such wishful thinking can last longer.Chonghua never wanted to get close to the baby, nor would he listen to the baby's movement in the womb. He asked himself too much honor for the baby, and even gave himself a lot of false joy. Perhaps, all of this was just Because, he wished that he knew that when he lost this child, the pain would be deeper.

Chonghua hated the queen and hated the family, he knew it all along.He can always treat his little calculations and tricks as harmless jokes, but all these connivances only get him to intensify.Maybe this time, Chonghua didn't do anything wrong, he just let it go and didn't even do it himself, but Shang Chengbi felt that it was so unforgivable.He is using their children to force him, and he may also feel heartache, but how can such heartache compare to the joy he takes every step of the way.It's a pity that the queen is not as stupid as he thought, and with just a casual sentence, all his calculations were destroyed.Chonghua, you always think that you are very smart, Shang Chengbi took a sip of Liu'an tea that he never drank, and he smiled.

What is he laughing at? Cardinal Jin is always pretending to be smart, but still laughing, the relationship between them is so thin, so thin that it can't be worth one, light and flirtatious, four or two thousand pounds.

"Driving—" Cardinal Jin stood far away from the 18-yuan green brick.

Shang Chengbi crushed the teacup in his hand, "The Marquis of Linyuan has lost his mind, so he is escorted into the Qifeng Pavilion. Without my word of mouth, he is not allowed to take a step out of the Warm Palace."

The guards lurking somewhere surrounded Cardinal Jin from all directions. Cardinal Jin just smiled. He smiled so beautifully that the red clouds all over the sky became his shadow, "You don't need to detain me, and you don't have to be afraid. Five years ago, I was put in chains and shackles, and now, it’s just that there is an extra door in the cell.” He turned around, dragged the bloody red of the setting sun into a long shadow, and smiled sassyly at the guards who were facing an enemy, "Why be nervous, if I really want to leave, who in this world can keep me!"
