Dressed as a man with the eldest son

97

Nan Ruo wanted to reach out his hand to block the prince's ears almost instantly, but the pain of nails sinking into the flesh made him hold back.

The prince's expression was calm, and he didn't overreact at all to the ringing of the bell, only the fingers holding the amber beads on his wrist turned white.

Emperor Yongzhao shouted angrily: "Queen!"

The ringing of the bell soon stopped with the gunfire of the imperial army. Under the threat of knives and guns, the "reinforcement troops" outside had to stop their small movements.

Empress Zheng showed undisguised regret on her face: "Prince, why do you have to endure it? It is a fact that you have hysteria. Even if you can bear it today, you will have an attack one day. When hysteria occurs, no relatives will recognize it. You follow a mad master. , I might lose my life someday..." She smiled at the ministers, "What do you say, my lords?"

All the ministers remained silent, it was most appropriate for them to keep their mouths shut at this time.

"Empress!" Emperor Yongzhao was furious, "You are so rebellious and treasonous that you dare to frame the crown prince. How can there be such a vicious woman like you in the world! Someone, bring down the empress!"

No one moved.

The prince drooped his eyelids to adjust his breathing, and ignored Emperor Yongzhao.

Empress Zheng let out a sneer, with bright mockery and schadenfreude in her eyes, it seemed that since she just confessed her true purpose of wanting to become emperor, she no longer pretended to be herself.

"Malicious? In terms of viciousness, how can I compare with Your Majesty? Framed my brother, killed my father, killed my wife. Compared with Your Highness, I am far behind."

Nan Ruo's gaze changed slightly, killing his wife...

"The crown prince doesn't know yet." Empress Zheng said coldly, "Your mother——"

"Shut up!" Emperor Yongzhao was furious, stood up and pointed at her regardless of his leg injury, "How many people do you want to slander, even the former queen is involved, prince, don't you just watch her grab your mother's queen!"

The prince stroked the amber bead in his hand and said, "I know."

The conversation between Empress Zheng and Emperor Yongzhao came to an abrupt end.

The prince's expression was calm: "The queen mother told Gu before she left. She had already noticed that there was something wrong with her illness, and also found out that the father added something to her medicine. The father has been hot and cold to Gu over the years. , isn’t it just suspicion that Gu knows the truth, and fear that Gu will harbor resentment.”

But at the same time, he also suspected that King Rong was not his own son. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only let him, the prince who was sure to be his own son, sit securely.

"Ridiculous!" Emperor Yongzhao shouted, "Your mother's illness has a pulse record, and all the medicines she took are recorded. You can go to the imperial doctor to confront her. I know that your mother has a grudge against me, and blames me for insisting on sealing Zheng. She is the imperial concubine, but I don't want her to blame me so much and tell you such a lie..."

"Pfft-"

Empress Zheng laughed out loud suddenly, and the laughter grew louder and louder. There was no manners at all, and tears came out of her laughter.

"Xiahouyan, Xiahouyan, you are as shameless as ever! It is always the fault of others, but you are not at fault. You can even pour dirty water on dead people. It's really disgusting!"

"Zheng family!" Emperor Yongzhao was extremely angry. After all, he was the emperor who had been in power for many years, and his aura was terrifying.

The palace people knelt on the ground wishing they could bury themselves in the soil, and all the officials lowered their heads and remained motionless.

Empress Zheng was not afraid of him, as if she was watching a clown performance, especially Emperor Yongzhao was holding his chest for a second and couldn't stand still, his face turned pale and he was panting, which made her feel refreshed.

That's it, that's it.

The scene she had imagined countless times over the years finally came true today.

Not enough, far from enough.

Empress Zheng said to the crowd full of malice: "Today, this palace will tell you the truth about the love between the emperor and the empress for more than ten years. What kind of special affection and couple are all fake. Your majesty is the one who can't have children!"

The last sentence was almost shouted out, and it seemed that all the anger that had been suppressed for many years was contained in this shout.

Emperor Yongzhao was so angry that he couldn't speak, and pointed at her with trembling fingers.

Nan Ruo patted his back while digesting the shock in his heart. From the corner of his eyes, he secretly paid attention to the prince, as if aware of his restlessness, the prince let go of the amber bead, and gently rubbed the peace knot with his fingers, as if to comfort him.

"Tell her to shut up... tell her to shut up..." Emperor Yongzhao panted and said to the prince.

The prince seemed to have never heard of it.

Empress Zheng was extremely happy, and cast a bright mockery at Emperor Yongzhao: "You are afraid that people will lose face, so you acted like a special pet, and you made me think that you were injured and unable to give birth to twins. Look at our majesty! How well thought out, yes, it’s not your fault that the empress can’t conceive, it’s all my fault, he’s right.”

Her eyes were cold, and she said with hatred: "Very hypocritical!"

"Shut up...shut up..." Emperor Yongzhao couldn't breathe, trembling all over, "Gao Jinzhong, Gao Jinzhong..."

Chang Qing stepped forward immediately: "Eunuch Gao is not here, but the slave is here."

"Bring the medicine, give me the medicine..." Emperor Yongzhao grabbed Chang Qing's arm.

The prince got up quickly: "Everyone go out, the imperial guards are guarding the door, except King Rong and Chang Le, no one is allowed to come in without Gu's order!"

Looking at Queen Zheng coldly: "Queen, don't worry, I know you have 40 navy, and I won't touch you."

Empress Zheng's eyes were dark, but she was confident: "The prince knows it well, so it's best."

The south of the Yangtze River and the grasslands are not her real goal, but the sea is. It took her 15 years and a lot of gold and silver to get to where she is today. If Dayan wants to have a peaceful coast, she can't touch her at all.

Thinking of the letter that Tong Jin sent back from the sea, he signaled his subordinates to follow the Imperial Army to exit Zichen Palace.

The courtiers and courtiers also quickly followed, only Nan Ruo, Chang Qing and the three servants behind the prince stayed behind.

Chang Qing had already brought the elixir from the study next door according to what Emperor Yongzhao said, and Emperor Yongzhao almost couldn't wait to grab it, poured out two pills, stuffed them into his mouth, panted comfortably, and sat down with his head up, completely devoid of any previous pain. Majestic look.

The only sound in the quiet hall was his panting.

Nan Ruo and the servants quickly withdrew their gazes and remained silent.

The prince was expressionless: "Zhou Bao, go and invite the envoy from Moyuan."

Zhou Bao immediately bowed and backed out.

Empress Zheng admired Emperor Yongzhao's ugliness, with distorted pleasure on her face, as if she didn't feel it was enough, and when Emperor Yongzhao's breathing calmed down, she said: "Your Majesty always thought that King Heng gave you the medicine, but it wasn't, I want to know Who is it?"

Emperor Yongzhao took a short breath and sat up straight.

Empress Zheng said maliciously: "It's Sister Fu, you drugged her, and she told you to be infertile, repaying retribution, it's very fair, do you think it's Your Majesty?"

"Nonsense... nonsense..." Emperor Yongzhao's lips trembled, but he believed it in his heart. Yes, my cousin always revenges her revenge. If she knows the truth about her illness, she will definitely take revenge.

He looked at the prince with his last hope.

The prince said lightly: "Yes, the empress mother also told Gu about this before she left."

Nan Ruo couldn't help but glanced at the prince, not daring to imagine how the young prince survived that night.

Emperor Yongzhao's back collapsed.

"Papa..." Empress Zheng laughed and clapped her hands, seeming to find it very interesting, "It's so interesting, so interesting. Your Majesty has repeatedly told the prince these years. In the eyes of the prince, he might act like a buffoon. My son watched the killing Mother's father, tsk tsk... How old was the prince at that time, six years old?" She opened her eyes wide and said with emotion, "Good Chengfu, all of you here - these people are all good people, if I had Half of the prince will not become what he is today."

The prince's expression was indifferent, and he didn't care about her provocation at all.

The muscles on Emperor Yongzhao's face twitched, as if he didn't know what expression to make, the hand holding Nan Ruo's arm trembled violently, and his breath that had just calmed down became rapid again.

"I have a reason..." he said to the prince, "I got married four years after my seventeenth birthday, and I had your eldest son four years later. , are all my heirs!"

His eyes turned red: "Okay, I'll bear it, I don't care about it, but I can only give the Fu family an eldest son, I didn't want your mother's life, I just made her sick, I originally wanted to wait for the concubine to give birth A few princes called her up, but when you were six years old, the harem didn't give birth to a single heir, does it mean that all the princes under my knees have the surname Fu?"

"Here it comes again, it's someone else's fault again, you're not wrong." Empress Zheng's disgust almost showed on her face, "If you were as stubborn as you are now when facing the Queen Mother back then, you would have had many children by now. , you even have a grandson, you are willing to be a mother, and you are willing to pamper the queen mother, fueling her courage, telling her to attack the concubine again and again, now you are all to blame!"

Thinking of the child she was aborted back then, she sneered: "I hope that Yazi and Tianniang are not your children. Having a father like you is a lifetime shame for them!"

"Master Zheng!" Emperor Yongzhao shouted angrily.

At this moment, Rong Wang and Chang Le arrived.

Chang Le ran all the way in with her skirt in her hand, and went straight to Emperor Yongzhao: "Father, Father—" squeezed Nan Ruo away to grab Emperor Yongzhao's arm, "Are you okay, I was scared to death, they said Uncle Heng conspired against you, after all--"

Before he could finish speaking, Emperor Yong Zhao threw his hand away.

"Father..." Chang Le was puzzled, looked around the hall, showing some anxiety, "Mother..."

King Rong came in silently, saluted silently, and then stood beside the prince silently.

Empress Zheng beckoned to Changle: "Come here, come to Queen Mother."

Chang Le hesitated: "Mother, you and Father—"

"Father!" Empress Zheng interrupted her, "He doesn't recognize you as his daughter, Yazi, come here too."

Chang Le was at a loss, and looked at Emperor Yong Zhao: "Father, what's going on, you are arguing with the queen mother—" the voice disappeared in Emperor Yong Zhao's gloomy eyes, and he panicked.

King Rong was indifferent, as if he hadn't heard Empress Zheng's words.

Empress Zheng said angrily: "You treat him as your father, but he doesn't treat you as your son! Haven't you seen it clearly all these years?!"

King Rong finally looked up at her, and asked softly, "Did Queen Mother think about me and Changle when she decided to rebel?"

The queen mother...rebelled?Chang Le was stunned.

"If you win, I'm nothing more than your puppet. If you lose, even if the Crown Prince Kuan Ren lets us survive, how will we face outsiders and go underground later? How will we face our ancestors?"

"You teamed up with Marquis Jianchang, that's why you let Sun Heli seduce Changle, isn't it?"

Changle froze in place.

King Rong didn't want an answer, so he lowered his head after asking, "Mother, my surname is Xiahou, not Zheng."

Empress Zheng remained calm, without the slightest surprise or anger, only a touch of sadness: "I knew it would be like this..."

No matter how much she teaches Yazi, it can't compare to the influence of the environment on him. He will be like all men in this world, with the highest clan and the highest surname. Even if he doesn't help Xia Houyan, he will never stand with her .

"What about you?" She looked at Chang Le.

Changle was at a loss and at a loss at the moment, she went to see her father, but his father coughed and didn't look at her at all, she felt as if she was dreaming, and everything that happened before her eyes was fake.

Empress Zheng no longer cared about her, and turned to the prince: "The prince is far-sighted, I am ashamed of myself, I think Dayan will have a new emperor soon, and I hope the new emperor will see that Yazi and Tianniang are half blood related to you. Don't embarrass them."

The crown prince raised his eyelids, and suddenly said: "To this day, you have chosen everything by yourself, you are the one to blame, no one else can blame you."

"No wonder!" Empress Zheng was stimulated by his expression and tone, "If your father hadn't lied to me with sweet words, how could I have entered the palace? I was doing business outside the palace and visiting mountains and rivers, so I could live a carefree life. It was him I was tricked into entering the palace, and I participated in the selection to be a concubine because of his loss of shame, because he was slandered and framed, and even lost a child, why can't others be blamed?!"

"I got him the title Mingjun! If I didn't hand over everything, how could he be called Mingjun?!"

"He said that there will be a couple for a lifetime, but in the end, the maid of honor behind my back can still coax me as if nothing happened, it is so shameless that it makes people want to vomit."

If it weren't for the belief in overthrowing Xia Houyan, she would vomit it every time she was intimate with him, and even thinking about it now feels disgusting.

Zhou Bao walked in with Moyuan envoy.

Empress Zheng suddenly pointed: "There is also him. If I hadn't brought him back to the mansion with my insight, how would he have known Xia Houyan and been awarded the title of imperial physician? Without my advice, he is no different from other doctors! How could he be the doctor he is today? status?"

"But what did he give me in return? He joined forces with Xia Houyan to lie to me! It's ungrateful!"

She said that her eyes were red, and there was a faint insanity in her eyes.

Pointing to Nan Ruo again: "And your father, how affectionate he is, he just wants to get benefits from Xia Houyan through me, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered to send me to Xia Houyan back then!"

It was only later that she figured out that there are so many heroes who are just right to save the beauty in the world, it's just that they have been arranged for a long time.

Every time she thinks about it these years, she feels like a stick in her throat.

Shangguan Zichen said he loved her, but after realizing her purpose, he imagined asking her to give him a son so that he could take over her throne in the future. She was disgusted even when Xia Houyan touched her, let alone him, he could only tell him to die .

"You all pretended to be affectionate, which made me feel vain and complacent, but I was actually watching a joke in my heart, right?!"

Her eyes were red, and she stared straight at Emperor Yongzhao, revealing a bit of morbid paranoia.

"No..." Emperor Yongzhao calmed down, his eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Fan'er—"

However, Empress Zheng was stimulated by these two words and screamed: "Shut up!" The high-pitched voice was somewhat hysterical, as if she wanted to shout out her soul together, and the depression, repression and injustice that had been accumulated for nearly 20 years were fully integrated. In this voice:

"I'm not Zheng Fan'er, I'm Zheng Fan, a fan of blooming flowers!"
