The Dragon's Families of Mountains and Rivers

"No son...hehe..." Repeatedly looking at the bright yellow imperial edict embroidered with a golden dragon on the bottom of the black background, the concubine Liang couldn't help feeling more desolate as she looked at it. Those two words were like sharp knives, stabbing her bloody , "What a childless..."

Concubine Shu, dressed in lake blue palace attire, was sitting at the side, her temples were neatly combed, and the gorgeous pearls and emeralds all over her temples reflected the cold and colorful streamer. On the contrary, there is an even more indescribable sadness in her dignity.

Tomorrow is leaving the palace, no matter how sad the master is, the palace servants are still silently sorting out the things to be taken out of the palace. No matter how ruthless the emperor is, it is only because of favor and love. They were allowed to take away all the items that belonged to them, and there was also a large reward, so that these women who had been concubines of the emperor would not be allowed to leave the palace alone.

"Sister Concubine Shu, tell me, is there anything more ironic than this in the world?" Concubine Liang looked at the imperial decree over and over again, "He has neglected us and ignored us all these years, but in the end, he still used such Reasons to depose us from the palace, you say... how could he have such a cruel heart?"

Concubine Shu sat upright, with straight eyes, as if she was looking at the cluster of flowers on the opposite side, but she didn't seem to be looking at anything, but just fell there empty.

"Even if it's a funny reason, I'm willing to admit it, but why is it this?" The resentment and despair suppressed in my heart made this noble lady who was brought up by a high school almost collapse.

Looking at the silent woman sitting beside her, Concubine Liang suddenly jumped up, smashed the imperial decree in her hand on the ground, and pointed at the Tai Chi Hall as far away as the sky, "He didn't even Get close to us, why do you want to use such a reason to hate and depose us in the end?! Why?!"

How can they be childless, it is clear that the man is not willing to give them an heir!

"There are so many women in the whole palace, why is it that the woman he hid in the Tai Chi Hall was the one who gave birth to an heir!? Did he really think we were stupid?! The queen has been in the palace for ten years, she is healthy and has no children! Shu Concubine, you have been in the palace for ten years and have been healthy and childless! I have been in the palace for ten years and have been healthy and childless! Concubine Xian has been in the palace for seven years and is equally healthy and childless! Let alone those other women! His favor and love were all given to the woman hidden in the Tai Chi Hall, and even his stingy offspring! We can't compete or win, we all admit it! Why can't he tolerate it? Us?! For the sake of that woman, he actually wanted to wipe out the entire harem?! Could it be that he really wants to learn from Emperor Cheng?!"

Concubine Liang suddenly hissed angrily, and the hall was completely silent.

The palace servants who were tidying up outside looked at each other when they heard such a rebellious shout, and wished they were blind and deaf at this moment!

"What are you doing here?! You all back down!" Seeing that the situation was not right, Xiu Lan, the concubine Liang's eldest maid, immediately yelled at the palace servants who were tidying up to leave the palace.

After all the palace people retreated, Concubine Shu turned her head and glanced at her indifferently, "Sister, speak carefully."

"We have all ended up in such a state, sister, what do you have to be afraid of?"

"Of course I'm still afraid." Looking down, flicking the bracelet on her wrist lightly, Concubine Shu said flatly, "Except for this Imperial Concubine Dayin, I'm still the daughter of the Liu family. Title, I still have an unbroken bloodline, do I want to implicate the whole family for me?"

Can't maintain prosperity, and even shame the family, is it necessary to bring disaster to the entire clan because of flaunting one's words for a while?

"Criticize the ancestors of the royal family, spread the word, even a hundred Yonglehou mansions are not enough." In the eyes of the ninety-five emperors, what are they and their families?It's just ants.

Concubine Liang sneered, and wanted to say more, but Concubine Shu said calmly, "My father is the Marquis of Yongchang, and he is no more carefree than my younger sister."

Concubine Liang choked suddenly.

Her father died early and her mother was widowed. Yong Lehou was her uncle. Because of her status, her mother was taken care of by the clan as a marquis. She didn't know that after losing her status as a concubine and being deposed from the palace, they How should a mother and daughter deal with themselves in the mansion...

That's why she was so apprehensive, so terrified, so afraid and uneasy.

She resented the loneliness in the deep palace and hated the emperor's ruthlessness, but she never thought of leaving here... because after leaving here, she didn't know how to live without anyone to rely on.

"Emperor Cheng fell in love with the imperial concubine back then, and used all kinds of means to fight for favor in the palace. In the end, the imperial concubine lost his heir. The empress is not from the Mu family, so I'm afraid she won't be spared, let alone give birth to a son to inherit the throne." Concubine Shu slowly recalled what her father said in the past, "It was a blessing to be abolished and expelled from the palace. It is not uncommon for families and clans to not even have a whole body left behind. Today...the temperament is stronger than that of Emperor Cheng back then, but not weaker. What's the use of staying in this palace? Are you waiting to be disgusted by him?" Now that they have left room and face for them, what is there to be dissatisfied with?

Concubine Liang seemed to cry and laughed, "Isn't this considered disgusting now?"

"Now it's just abandonment, not disgust."

After a while, Concubine Liang covered her face full of tears, and then murmured softly, "...I want to see him, I want to hear him say it himself, even if it means being deposed."

When she entered the palace at the beginning of the year, the man who was like a heavenly man was engraved in her heart. For so many years, she could not expect favor and favor, but she thought that she was his concubine, a woman who belonged to him. Full of joy, she can wake up with a smile even when she falls asleep, but now, such a humble thought has become an extravagant hope...

Concubine Shu smiled, full of loneliness in her smile, "...why bother."

Since it never belonged to them, why bother to expect it?

That person is too tall and too far away, how can they, mortals like them, touch him?

"I want to see him." Otherwise, once I leave the palace tomorrow, I will never have another chance in this lifetime.

Concubine Shu turned her head to look at her, and saw that her face was full of tears, but her gaze was firm. For some reason, the faint thoughts in her heart were inexplicably drawn out...

Yun Wei is not one of those literati who mourns the spring and the autumn, because of his state of mind and imprisoned in the palace, everything he sees seems to make him feel sad.For this reason, all the blessings in the palace are placed carefully and cautiously, for fear that if he is not careful, it will touch his worries and make him sad.

Now he and the emperor are in the same mind, and the difficulties in his heart are eliminated. He looks good and happy in everything he sees. Two days ago, he also said that the chrysanthemums in the imperial garden should be blooming well.

He didn't mention that he would go to the imperial garden to see it himself, but Fuquan, who knew what the harem had been like in the past two days, broke out in a cold sweat. He was afraid that the little master would be interested and wanted to see it in person, so he hurriedly ordered someone to cultivate him. Two large pieces of chrysanthemums in pots were moved to the small garden of Tai Chi Hall.

Fuquan thought, after these few days, if the little master wants to see flowers, he doesn't need to worry anymore.

It's a pity that things don't go as planned.

During the day, it rained all day, and the sky was very dark. At this time of year, the earth dragon charcoal basin was started earlier, and it was a little bit chilly in the hall. The master changed, and the rain outside became heavy, jingling on the roof of the palace.

"What time is it?" Yun Wei frowned as he straightened the sleeves of the straight-breasted coat, remembering that the man only wore a not-so-thick regular uniform with a black gauze over it after he got up from a nap in the afternoon.

Fuquan looked at the inscription in the hall and said, "Go back to Your Highness, it's right."

"How busy is Your Majesty today?" He was not used to asking about that person's whereabouts every day, let alone inquiring about the government affairs of the previous dynasty.

"The servant heard from the chief executive earlier that this afternoon, His Majesty seems to have announced that the chief envoys of Jiangnan and Shannan provinces, who went to Beijing yesterday to report their duties, will enter the palace to face the saint."

Yun Wei nodded slightly. The two chief envoys of Jiangnan Road and Shannan Road went to Beijing to report their duties. There were only a lot of things to report. Understand.

It was raining and windy outside, and that person might not return to the palace for a while. Thinking of this, Yun You pointed to the thicker robe placed on the porch, "Eunuch Fu, take that robe and follow me." Go to the House of Representatives."

Fuquan looked in the direction the little master pointed, and when he saw the black embroidered tuanlong uniform, he immediately smiled, "Hey!"

Instructing people to prepare the cloak and umbrella, Fuquan carefully wrapped the clothes to be sent to His Majesty in a soft cloth to prevent the rain from splashing, called two young eunuchs, and followed his master to the Yizheng Hall to deliver the clothes.

To go to the Yizheng Hall, you have to get out of the Taiji Hall, go along the palace road to the Xuanwu Gate in the north direction, after passing the Xuanwu Gate is the Yizheng Hall, since Yun Ghou entered the palace these days, he rarely stepped out of the Taiji Hall, The most frequent walks are the Hanzhang Hall and the Imperial Study Room. The Imperial Study Room is in the front hall of the Taiji Hall, so you don't need to go through the Taiji Gate.

It just so happened that it was raining heavily today, and he didn't want to go in and out through the Taiji Gate with great fanfare, so he ordered to go to the Chongde Gate, which is the closest to the palace road, but he didn't want to, as soon as he stepped out of the Chongde Palace Gate, he saw kneeling in front of the palace gate of three women.

Yun Wai paused, and froze on the spot.

When Fuquan saw it, he almost fainted from fright!

The head steward repeatedly told him to be careful, and to dismiss the concubine in the past two days, there must be no trouble. The most important thing is not to let the little master know about it. Your majesty means that if the little master is not alarmed, Dispose of it quietly, but who will tell him, why did he bump into him so suddenly? !

Moreover, why did no one come to inform him when the three abandoned concubines knelt here in the rain? !

Seeing this weird situation, Fuquan was covered in cold sweat, only thinking that his little life might be in danger today!

"master……"

It took a while for Yun Wei to regain his senses. He pointed to the three women kneeling in the rain and was very surprised, "This is..."
