Bai Yueguang's substitute only wants salted fish

The emperor often has nightmares.

In his dream, he would see the person he killed.Gentle and virtuous wives, courtiers who have made great contributions, and brothers who have suffered from suspicion... They gave the emperor a piece of sincerity but did not end well.At that time, the emperor used all means to achieve his goal, but afterwards he felt that there was lingering resentment around him, and he was terrified beyond words.

The older the emperor was, the more he could not bear such nightmares, and sometimes he would get a minor illness due to excessive panic.He didn't want others to know what he had done, he was guilty, and he didn't say a word when he was scared and sick.

One day, the emperor said in his sleep that he slipped his mouth and called out Fa's wife's name.The eldest princess heard about it from the maid who served her personally, and came to comfort him specially, and brought the imperial doctor to check his pulse.

Instead of feeling caring, he felt that his weakness had been discovered, angrily scolded the eldest princess for listening to the slander, and punished the imperial doctor and the maid together.

The eldest princess never mentioned this incident again until the emperor went crazy in front of Fu Yichen.

"Can father and emperor sleep at night?" The eldest princess looked at him calmly, the raised willow eyebrows were somewhat similar to the concubine mother.

The emperor suddenly thought of the eldest princess' biological mother, Lin Guifei.Concubine Lin Gui is virtuous and gentle, always talking about the third prince.He likes watching the third prince grow up slowly, but he doesn't like Lin Guifei's boring face after a long time.Coincidentally, someone sent him a bright beauty, and he forgot about Concubine Lin Gui, and gradually became cold.

Concubine Lin Guifei died of illness when the third prince was four years old. Before she died, she begged the emperor to take good care of her two children.The emperor thought it was nonsense, how could he not love his child?Concubine Lin Gui, on the other hand, kept saying that it was for the sake of the child, but she was unwilling to leave the Eldest Princess and the Third Prince with a healthier concubine.

Later, the emperor broke his promise and demoted the third prince to a commoner.The third prince fell ill and died young. The emperor was sad and worried about what name to bury the third prince. The eldest princess spoke at the right time and said that it would be good to be buried with the mother and concubine. No one would say much.

The eldest princess lost her younger brother and mother, but she was still caring in front of him.She never once complained, saying that "father and emperor also lost his wife and children".Every death day, she put away her pain so that he wouldn't notice it.He laments that it is worthwhile to be kind to his daughter, who is caring and always has him as a father in her heart.

The emperor realized today that he was wrong.

It's not that the eldest princess doesn't hate him, but she waits for his most desolate day before giving him a hard blow.

The emperor saw the shadow of Concubine Lin Gui from the eldest princess's face, and was even afraid of that look that looked exactly like the third prince's.He backed off, admitted he was wrong, and promised not to mention it again.

That night, he had another nightmare.In the dream, the women he once loved gathered together to embroider, and what they embroidered was a large picture of mountains and rivers.The slender fingertips hold the silver needle, guiding the embroidery threads of various colors to shuttle across the cloth.He looked at the beautiful faces, from the princess concubine to the queen's first wife, Lin Guifei who was always with him, and the nameless Cheng Qi who gave birth to Fu Yichen for him...

The emperor is old, but they are still beautiful and charming.Because they died early.

His wife was framed by him for having an affair with his brother, Concubine Lin Gui was neglected and blamed by him, Cheng Qi was left by him in a small distant town, waiting for a lifetime, in exchange for the insult of "looking for a benefactor"...

The emperor in the dream felt dizzy, and when he looked closely, the embroidered cloth they embroidered became their own body, needled, threaded, knotted, and stretched.He felt excruciating pain from which he could not escape.

"Your Majesty?" The maid heard his shout and handed over the handkerchief.

The emperor felt terrified, and panted to wipe the sweat off his forehead.After rubbing it, he smelled the incense that his wife loved.It is light and lingering, with a hint of dampness and coldness. It reminds people of that delicate figure when smelling it.

The emperor threw away the veil abruptly, "Who told you to use this for incense!"

The palace maid knelt down and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, spare me!"

If it was normal, the emperor would have been dragged out and killed long ago.However, he had just dreamed of three women who hated him for dying. Looking at the maid in front of him, he suddenly thought that Fu Yichen's mother met him at this age.

"Go down." He couldn't get angry anymore, and waved him away.

That night, the emperor could not fall asleep again.He heard the woman's cry, got up to look for it and found no one there.He opened his eyes until dawn, got up and changed his clothes, and took advantage of the clear daylight to see if there was anything strange about the house.

When he saw it, he found a little bird outside the door.There was a ring of red feathers on the bird's body, just around the neck, which looked like a wounded red wound.

The emperor suddenly thought of King Chang who was forced to death.King Chang slayed himself with a sword, looked at him before he started, and said: "The emperor knows how the queen died. She was wronged during her lifetime, but she will be slandered by the emperor after she dies! Well, I will wait for the emperor to speak with the queen in the underworld. understand."

King Chang died, and the birds singing outside the door kept going.

"Where did the bird come from!" The emperor was furious, "Drive away!"

The palace servants frantically chased away the birds, and they startled a noisy nest outside.The emperor had a splitting headache and felt that the tiredness of not sleeping all night had weighed down his eyelids, but the face of a person who died unjustly was active repeatedly in his head.

He didn't have the strength to walk to the main hall, and he didn't have the guts to face Fu Yichen's face that was somewhat similar to his mother's.

"I will not go to court." The emperor ordered, "Let the crown prince manage the government on his behalf."

The emperor went back to sleep and had nightmares again and again.

He broke his promise and killed Fa's wife's beloved son with his own hands.Fa's wife cried miserably in her dream, and scolded him for breaking his promise. Yu'er, who was next to Fa's wife, looked like a monster. At first, he looked childish and innocent. After a while, he grew tall and came to kill him with a big knife.

The big sword is nothing else, it is Ding Guohou's favorite weapon.Ding Guohou was sent by him to fight an impossible battle, and died tragically on the battlefield.

He woke up again, shaking.

The nightmare became more and more terrifying, and he couldn't bear it more and more.

The emperor didn't believe this at first, and felt that he was the son of heaven who could not be helped by demons and ghosts.However, most of his children did not survive.Especially the son, who was stillborn, who was seriously ill, who was suddenly suffocated by food in his arms... It seemed that someone was staring at him, telling him to experience the misery of the world.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing that his expression was not right, the inner officer asked cautiously, "Do you want to see Imperial Doctor Xuan?"

The emperor didn't know whether it was a dream or it was real for a while, so he spoke out his heart in a daze, "The imperial doctor... no, I don't see you, he poisoned Guo Anli to death."

Guo Anli was a hero who was rumored to have died of a sudden illness.

The eunuch has served in the palace for so many years, so of course he knows what not to listen to, so he stares and pretends to be stupid and asks, "What is the emperor's order? The little one didn't hear clearly", and when he doesn't get the answer from the emperor, he immediately kneels down and keeps listening. There is no posture of Sui Sui Nian.

The emperor didn't care about his subordinates, he wanted to rub his eyebrows but found that there were still traces of strangling the former prince on his fingers.

He was angry and impatient and didn't take off the ring, so he strangled the former prince to death with his bare hands.

Compared with the day it happened, the traces have faded a lot.

The emperor couldn't help feeling a little bit of comfort, thinking that this fear would disappear with the scars.

"It's okay." The emperor convinced himself, "When the injury is cured, I will be fine."

The inner officer raised his eyes and asked again, "What is the emperor's order?"

The emperor calmed down and ordered, "Check all the palace people thoroughly to see who is responsible!"

The palace has changed a group of maids and officials.From the change of prince to the change of ministers, now even the palace people have to change again.

"It's best to be out of the palace." Fu Yichen said, "Some were executed."

Qi Wenyao sighed, "But they can't live well after leaving the palace. Those who committed suicide, those who sold their bodies, those who gambled their savings for many years and lost everything, so they committed suicide and sold themselves... There are many tragedies in the imperial capital, don't you know?"

"I know. When Father gave the order, I tried to persuade him."

Qi Wenyao expected the result, "You got scolded back?"

"He doesn't have the strength to curse."

"So effective?" Qi Wenyao was surprised, "I just wanted to scare him, but I didn't expect him to be so careless."

The weird things that the emperor encountered were all caused by Fu Yichen's eyeliner.It is useless to conduct a thorough investigation, because the imperial guards who are investigating are already members of Fu Yichen.The palace changer is even more self-defeating. The original old man needs to be bribed to do things, and the newcomer is Fu Yichen's eyeliner, who directly obeys orders.

Fu Yichen didn't answer, but reached out to hug her.

Qi Wenyao saw everything through, "You scare him every day? So you always come here to trick me and find new tricks?"

"I came because I missed you." Fu Yichen replied softly, stroking his cheek very gently.

Qi Wenyao didn't mean to blame, so he curled his lips, "Don't be found out."

"Father dare not investigate anymore. Strange things happened one after another, involving so many people who died unjustly. Except for the dead, only he would know the secrets of the past. He felt that retribution had come, so there was nothing to investigate."

Qi Wenyao nodded, secretly looking at Fu Yichen.

He saw the emperor's memory with his own eyes, so he knew better than anyone how the emperor became what he is today.The emperor was once the prince who was suspected by the former emperor, and was constantly framed by the people around him.Step by step, the emperor turned into a monster who was full of power, killing people around him, and didn't believe that there could be sincerity in the world.

Fu Yichen has been in that position for a long time, will he...

Fu Yichen noticed his gaze, raised a smile and leaned over, "Huh?"

Seeing the familiar smiling face, Qi Wenyao felt relieved, "No, I want to see you more."

"You said there was a gift for me." Fu Yichen still remembered the letter he sent earlier, "What is it?"

"Oh! You wait!" Qi Wenyao got up to get it.

Fu Yichen refused to wait and insisted on sticking to him to get it.

During these days, Fu Yichen was going to oversee the administration of the country, and he didn't come to see him many times, and he didn't want him to leave the Qi mansion to cause danger.They couldn't meet, Qi Wenyao was fine, and Fu Yichen's current situation could pop up in his head at any time, and Fu Yichen missed him very much.

When Fu Yichen came, he was reluctant to stay half a step away, as if he wished to be embedded with him.

Sometimes it is embedded.

Qi Wenyao gradually got used to it, and ran over to find the gift box freely without opening the arms that were hugging him, "Look."

"Dagger." As soon as the gift box was opened, Fu Yichen was dazzled by the shining gems on it, "It's very conspicuous."

Qi Wenyao groaned. "Of course, 1000 taels, I bought it with my money!"

Because of Fu Yichen, the name Qi Wenyao was already a representative of power.He felt that this was not possible, so he painted under the pseudonym "Shanhuan", disguised himself as an ordinary student, and went to the calligraphy and painting shop to recommend himself.Unexpectedly, the landscapes of mountains and rivers he painted were just in line with the nostalgia for the past of those old ministers who retired, and they were sold out quickly, with a satisfactory price and follow-up orders.

Shanhuan had no other meaning, it was because he happened to be eating haw jelly when he named it.Hawthorn doesn't sound good, just remove a little bit of it and turn it into "Shanhuan" to make do with it.

"Of course, they are rushing to ask for it." Qi Wenyao was a little excited when he thought about it, "I changed my name, they didn't know it was me, and they only asked for the price of the painting. I earned it by my own ability, and you Nothing to do."

"Yes, amazing." Fu Yichen coaxed him.

Qi Wenyao realized something was wrong, "Why don't you pick it up and have a look. Don't you like it?"

"I like it." Fu Yichen reluctantly let go of the hug, picked it up and looked at it.

Qi Wenyao snatched it back unhappily, "Why don't you like it."

Fu Yichen is a person who has been in the rivers and lakes, and he is not very interested in fancy weapons.This kind of instinctive dislike is on the face, just like Qi Wenyao saw others brushing the wall paint with a brush and wrapping things with drawing paper, he felt that it was unnecessary.

It was the first time Qi Wenyao picked out a gift and got this kind of response, annoyed, "You're the one who likes but doesn't use!"

Fu Yichen frowned, "Didn't you use it?"

"Hmph." Qi Wenyao put away the dagger and said angrily, "I'll send it to Xiaoyu."

Fu Yichen felt unreasonable at first, but after hearing this, he gained confidence, "I praise you every day, and want to travel and paint with you less than?"

"That's right! He said this looks pretty good."

Fu Yichen didn't argue with him, picked him up and walked to the bed.

They were arguing, and the housekeeper who came to report the letter struggled for a long time before shouting, "The eldest princess is here."

Qi Wenyao was taken aback, and Fu Yichen also stopped.

"I'll see you." Fu Yichen knew that the eldest princess must have come here knowing the inside story, and picked up the clothes thrown aside.

Qi Wenyao poked his head out of the bed, not forgetting to find a chance for his gift, "Take a dagger for self-defense?"

Fu Yichen was amused, and kissed the corner of his lips, "Okay."
