Winter is coming in the colder weather, and the noble lords in the palace are all allocated charcoal fires of various levels, planning carefully to survive this year's cold winter.It is said that after Liang Jingyun ascended the throne, the minister once played the draft, but was rejected by Liang Jingyun. Later, the censor participated in the performance several times and finally annoyed Liang Jingyun.The imperial censor was dismissed, and after that, there was no one to speak up. After all, the new emperor has enough things to do to stabilize his politics.And when Liang Jingyun's power slowly stabilized and became stronger, the ministers also found out the emperor's moody and bad temper, and no one dared to speak it out. Anyway, it was the emperor's private matter, so there was nothing to say.

Therefore, after Liang Jingyun ascended the throne, the harem was the most deserted in the history of the Liang Dynasty.Apart from Empress Yang, there were only a few noble concubines and a few concubines of low status.Yang is the daughter of the Taifu when Liang Jingyun was the fourth prince, and she followed Liang Jingyun's wishes at the beginning, and she was an old person who accompanied Liang Jingyun earlier.

Liang Jingyun never went to the harem very much, only occasionally went to the empress to rest, but recently he stayed in the study because the empress Yang was pregnant for almost nine months.

Defu walked into the study and said softly, "Your Majesty."

"What's wrong?" Liang Jingyun asked without raising his head as he corrected the memorial.

"The maidservant from Anyang Palace is here, and she said that the empress invited the emperor to come."

"Empress?" Liang Jingyun frowned, "What happened to her?"

"The queen said that she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach and was a little scared."

"What is there to be afraid of? Didn't I pick a skilled midwife for her to be by her side, and specially arranged for Doctor Jiang's daughter to serve her?" Liang Jingyun said impatiently.

"The empress seems to be in a depressed mood, which is not good for giving birth. Miss Jiang also persuaded the emperor to accompany the empress, saying that after all, it has been a month, and not seeing each other between husband and wife is not conducive to pregnant women and childbirth."

"Husband and wife?" Liang Jingyun sneered.Telford buried his head deeply, not daring to make a sound.

A trace of gloom flashed between Liang Jingyun's brows, "Since she has this child, she must give it to me safely! As for the queen, it's just the woman who gave birth to this child. Defu, you know what to do."

Defu nodded, "Understood, the emperor, the slaves will definitely send more people to Anyang Palace, and the little prince will be fine."

Liang Jingyun waved impatiently, watched Defu leave, and turned his eyes to the memorial, but he was not in the mood.The appearance of this child was really beyond his expectation, but since it came, he hoped it would be a boy, Liang Jingyun pressed the center of his eyebrows wearily, he didn't want to go to the trouble of wanting a prince.

As for the Queen, that woman is not a man to be the mother of a prince, if she bears a boy.After Liang Jingyun married Yang Shi, his subordinates found out that Yang Shi had smoked contraceptive incense on the clothes of Liang Jingyun's concubines. Liang Jingyun didn't care about this and didn't bother to care about it. Queen, if you have a child, you can naturally raise it yourself, but Liang Jingyun knew that he would not want his heir to be raised by such a woman.But Mrs. Yang was pregnant. Liang Jingyun was very angry at that time. He had sent the secret guards to deliver contraceptive soup!

Later, after he figured out what was going on, he hated Yang even more. Liang Jingyun always got drunk during the Lantern Festival in early spring, because Qi Yun liked the Lantern Festival. Liang Jingyun didn't know why he liked it, but when they were young, they It is his happiest memory to get together and play together. Since Qi Yun met the third prince, the memory has ceased, and he will be alone in the Lantern Festival after that.

And at the Lantern Festival in the early spring of that year, Liang Jingyun saw Mrs. Yang when he woke up.Maybe it was too disgusting, and even felt guilty and heartbroken for tarnishing this memory. Liang Jingyun forgot about the contraceptive soup, and the dark guard thought he had admitted to Yang and didn't remind him. The result is self-evident.

Liang Jingyun has also experienced the scheming of being able to get past the guards outside the palace and deliberately choose the perfect time for that day.Even if all Yang did was want a child, and Liang Jingyun hated her, then what she did was wrong.This child is not what he expected, but if possible, it would be great to be the heir.

Inside Anyang Palace.

The big servant girl next to the queen who just went out knelt on the cold floor tiles tremblingly but did not dare to move a moment. She just stumbled and spoke the message from Father Defu.

"He won't come? The emperor hasn't come yet?!" Lying on the bed, Yang's expression was first shocked, then angry, and then deeply sad. "It's really useless, he is a heartless person!"

What's the use of doing so much?How many times did you see the emperor in the ninth month of pregnancy?All he needs is that the child doesn't care about her life or death.A malicious intention to kill the child in her stomach suddenly sprouted in Yang's heart, but when she saw the maids around her who were superficially serving as actual supervisors, her heart instantly turned cold.

"Empress, don't get angry, take care of your health," Jiang Yu took care of her carefully, "Your life will be better after having this child, wouldn't your life be easier if you were a prince and queen? Why rush Woolen cloth."

"Will it be alright?" Yang looked at the white curtain ceiling, her eyes were full of bewilderment, and then became indifferent. She closed her eyes, and her low voice drifted into the cold air. "It's not going to get better."

"Queen Empress, what did you say?"

"It's nothing, you go down. You all go down, I'm tired, I want to be alone."

In the courtyard on the outskirts of Kyoto, Gu Changan was playing the piano, accompanied by the scent of tea, as if living an elegant and secluded life.After a while, the sound of the zither stopped suddenly. Gu Changan looked at the broken strings and said helplessly, "It's going to be repaired again."

Lu Qi, who was making tea, smiled, "Why don't you change the piano, my lord?"

"Any violin can be changed, but not this one." Gu Changan also laughed.

Seeing the nostalgia in his eyes, Lu Qi also looked slightly disappointed, "Is it the young master's piano?"

"Yes, it was given to me back then." Gu Changan looked at the slight scratches on the piano, and his fingers felt rough when touching it, "It can be seen that the one he gave me is really not a good one. It has been broken in the past few years." There are several strings, which is really unlucky."

"Hehe, the young master doesn't believe in these things."

"He really doesn't believe in these things," Gu Changan recalled, the smile on the corner of his mouth was very real, but there was a trace of melancholy in his eyes, "However, at some point, he suddenly believed in fate." Just like the third prince.

Lu Qi also fell silent.

Gu Changan withdrew his thoughts and looked at Lu Qi, "Actually, you don't have to follow me back to Kyoto. Since you have a better life in Jiangnan, you can just stay there. After all, it is not easy to have someone to accompany you. Yes. If it was Qi Yun, he would also hope so."

"I know," Lu Qi smiled softly, "but it's because the young master is always so good that I can't give up. If I don't go back to the capital to help the young master, what face will I have? As for my Life..." She paused and sighed, "He will understand."

"Forget it, I don't want to get involved in the affairs between your husband and wife. Speaking of your family, he tried his best to come from Jiangnan to the capital, but you don't want to."

"I must come in this muddy water, but I don't want him to come in too." Lu Qi smiled, "Speaking of which, why did Young Master Gu take me away all by himself?"

Gu Changan was silent for a long time, "Because it was Qi Yun's entrustment."

"He said that Lu Qi is suitable for an ordinary and happy life, not the intrigues in the famous family. If he is gone, he will not be able to protect you in the big family. Instead of letting you suffer there, you should entrust it to me. Let you be safe and happy in the future."

"Young master, are you talking about matchmaking?" Lu Qi laughed out loud, but her eyes slowly turned red, she covered her eyes, and said in a crying voice, "Young Master Gu, I'm so sad."

"Really, it's really sad. After so many years, I just can't forget, the young master is so good, how could he die?"

"People have their own destiny." Gu Chang'an said.

"Master Gu, you don't believe in fate," Lu Qi said, and she repeated with her eyes open, "You don't believe in fate, do you?"

The red eyes from crying made Lu Qi look very embarrassed, she wiped her face with her sleeves, smiled reluctantly, "I really lost my composure, I'd better go down first." She left the path in a hurry.

Gu Chang comforted the broken strings, smiled, lowered his eyelids, looked sad, and that smile looked very bitter, "Yeah, I don't believe in fate." He sighed.

It was because he didn't believe it, so he knew that Qi Yun's death was not an accident, and in the end, wasn't he himself the murderer?Gu Changan's subordinates used force, and the sharp strings cut his fingers instantly, and the bright red blood flowed out. He watched quietly, but his expression was a little dazed. What is your lord doing?

As a result he died.

Gu Changan has only returned to the capital so far, so it is not difficult to face the fact. It seems that his life is as casual and unrestrained as before, but the deep regret and guilt torture him all the time.

Gu Changan closed his eyes.

As winter deepened, a first snowfall came. Stepping on the clean first snow, Liang Jingyun knocked on the door and saw Gu Changan.When Gu Changan saw Liang Jingyun, he just raised his eyes, with a cold expression, "What are you doing here?"

"Where's Mr. Zhao?"

"I was driven away by you. I heard that you have been asking him how to bring him back to life?" Seeing his silence, Gu Changan couldn't help but sneered, "What's the need? He's already dead."

Liang Jingyun's face was very ugly, but because Gu Changan was Qi Yun's friend, he didn't get angry.

"Liang Jingyun, since you didn't protect him well, what are you doing hypocritically now? What's more, everyone in the capital thinks you killed Qi Yun!"

Liang Jingyun suddenly raised his head, looked at Gu Changan coldly, "It's not like you don't know who it is."

"I was really blind back then. If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have left the capital. It would be useless to entrust his safety to you!" Gu Changan sneered.

Liang Jingyun's fingers dug deep into the flesh, his eyes darkened, "I will take revenge."

It really hasn't changed, and it's still the same as before.Gu Changan looked at him, and his expression calmed down again, "Martial nephew Zhao said you are crazy?"

"Just having nightmares and having a bad temper occasionally."

"Occasionally?"

Liang Jingyun ignored him, but Gu Changan said thoughtfully: "But your situation seems to be much better recently, I have heard many people say that the emperor's temper has stabilized a lot recently."

"Perhaps." Liang Jingyun said lightly.

"Forget it, I can't cure this disease, and I need medicine for my heart disease. Now that I'm in the capital, I naturally want to find out what happened back then, and the third prince—"

"You don't need to take action." Liang Jingyun said coldly.

"Really?" Gu Changan was noncommittal.

Before leaving, Liang Jingyun asked suddenly: "Do you know Pei Huaiwen?"

Gu Changan was stunned, a little confused, "I know, he often comes here for treatment, what's wrong?"

Liang Jingyun thought for a while, then said lightly, "It's nothing."
