Yangcheng

Liu Mao was an important minister in the court and had assisted three generations of emperors. He was quite famous both inside and outside the court.Liu Mao's remonstrance with death quickly spread throughout Dacang, putting more pressure on Wei Xi.

At this time Wei Xi's only trustworthy uncle Luo Xuanfang, Guo uncle said that Liu Mao was bewitched by Lan Kan and others, just to force the young emperor Li Lan's faction to be the queen, and hold the former dynasty into the harem.

Wei Xi trembled all over. She was indeed afraid, but at the same time, she was also aroused with strong unwillingness and anger.

"Our Wei family, when will it be Lan's turn to decide?! Except for my wife, no one can covet this position!"

Wei Xi knew that Uncle Guo was right, and this Lan Kan probably really underestimated him.

When Wei Ci was still the lord of the East Palace, Lan Kan once praised Wei Ci in front of the late emperor, saying that she is brilliant, unparalleled in sanctity, compassion and filial piety come from her heart. It has been built for thousands of years.

At that time, the first emperor was already in poor health, and he desperately wanted Wei Ci to gain the support of all his officials, so that he could go away with peace of mind after a thousand years.

Lan Kan's praise at that time may have come from the heart, or he may have said something nice because he wanted to comfort the late emperor, but in any case, Lan Kan was very disdainful of the princes other than Wei Ci, and Wei Xi knew it.

When the elder Sun Yin disappeared overnight in Boling with his whole family, Wei Ci's temperament changed drastically. He stopped studying and went to the East Palace to have fun, raising a group of maids to mess around all day long, and he didn't even know about political affairs. Do not ask.

The first emperor was furious, and after going to scold her a few times, she intensified it. It was clear that he deliberately angered the first emperor, and wanted the first emperor to abolish her as the crown prince and replace her with someone else.

The first emperor was the king of a country, although he loved his eldest daughter, but when his temper came up, no one in the center could stop him.

The first emperor quickly abolished Wei Ci as the crown prince and replaced him with Wei Xi.

Perhaps the late emperor at that time left Wei Ci with the last chance, and did not depose her as a commoner, but was still a princess, just thinking that if she could change her past, the country would still be handed over to her.

After all, among all the princes of the late emperor, Wei Ci was extremely capable, which everyone saw.

Who would have thought that once the prince and grand master left, she would become like this...

So the gossip between Wei Ci and Changsun Yin began to spread in Boling.

The first emperor knew that although Wei Xi and Wei Ci were nine years apart, they were biological sisters. Wei Ci loved Wei Xi very much. The two sisters were very close. Many things that Wei Ci would not have said to the late emperor might be said to Wei Xi.

So the first emperor asked the 11-year-old Wei Xi to go to her sister Huang and ask what was going on.

"It's nothing, I just feel bored." Wei Ci said, "I was not interested in being an emperor at first. Tired, a group of old men and old ladies whispered in my ears all day long. , people who stay in Shuyuan all day are treated stupidly, and a group of people persuade them to go out to the palace. It doesn't feel like leaving the palace, but like leaving the palace. Let alone leaving Boling."

Wei Ci was lying on the floppy bed, he had already drunk a lot of wine, and Wei Xi, who was already the crown prince, knelt and sat beside him, still getting along exactly the same as before.

Wei Ci drank all the wine in the wine cup, and thought of something: "Chengcan, the Son of Heaven is the Dragon of Destiny above tens of thousands of people, and the Lord of the peak of the Great Cangjiang Mountain, but I can't even get the person I like. If you don’t even have a little bit of pleasure for yourself, what’s the point of the Son of Heaven? It’s just a bird in a cage.”

Wei Xi was puzzled: "Sister, the Son of Heaven is entrusted by Heaven to bless all the people, raise the peng for thousands of miles, and let the rivers, mountains, rivers and seas left by our ancestors be clean, how can it be a bird in a cage?"

Wei Ci looked at his sister with some surprise, and smiled gratifiedly: "Chengcan is more suitable to be the emperor than me. It is a blessing for the common people that Dacang did not fall into my hands."

Wei Ci completely let go of the burden of the crown prince, and began to travel around. For many years, he had no contact with others, and only had correspondence with Wei Xi.

Each letter was quite brief, saying only where she lived and was still alive.

Wei Xi is very concerned about Wei Ci's safety, and has been secretly sending people to protect Huang Jie.

One day, a letter from Wei Ci was slightly different.

In the past, it only said where she was, but this time it wrote "My wife and I are in Pan County..."

Young lady?Is this... the person accompanying the imperial sister?

When Wei Xi received this letter, Liu Mao had just died. Lan Kan and a hundred high-ranking officials from the central government joined forces to put pressure on Wei Xi and strongly opposed the establishment of the Zhuang family as the queen.

Wei Xi didn't tell Ah Che about these things, but Ah Che also heard about it, and persuaded Wei Xi:

"Your Majesty has just been enthroned not long ago, and there are few available people around him, and Prime Minister Lan's party is overbearing. If, if you confront them head-on, I'm just... afraid..."

A Che usually does not stutter when speaking, but he tends to stutter when he is in a hurry.

The more impatient he was, the less he could speak. Wei Xi sighed softly, hugged her, and patted her on the back to soothe her anxious mood.

"Ache, you don't have to think about this." Wei Xi hugged her tightly, "I said when we got married, we were born and died in the same grave, and you were the only son-in-law when I was a princess. Now that I am the emperor, you She is my only queen."

Ah Che muffled in her arms: "But me, I will embarrass you."

Wei Xi said: "Don't think about these things, I will protect Ah Che...I will not let anyone hurt you."

Ache looked up at her: "I also want to protect His Majesty."

After Wei Xi succeeded to the throne, there was no imperial heir, and the harem was empty, so Lan Kan put pressure on him again, urging Wei Xi to recruit women as soon as possible to enrich the harem, give birth to an imperial heir, and stabilize the country.

Wei Xi went against the norm of resistance, accepted Prime Minister Lan's suggestion, and drafted immediately.

Lan Kan stuffed five members of the Lan family, seven members of the Wu family, and eight members of the Shen family, together with 66 beautiful women and Xiu Lang from the same camp, into the harem at one go, and asked the servants to supervise the emperor, who had to work hard on the matter of the emperor's heir.

As for the affairs of the previous dynasty, I will leave it to Prime Minister Lan to do it for me.

There were more people in the harem all of a sudden, but Wei Xi didn't favor any of them. It turned out that this was her plan to delay the attack.

Wei Xi is still with Ah Che every day, using the secret method of giving birth to a girl handed down from his ancestors, trying his best to create a human being.

Originally, Wei Xi wanted to take Yulu Pills by himself, but Ah Che refused.

"Your Majesty is surrounded by jackals and wolves. If you are pregnant, it is easier for someone to sneak in. Let alone when you are giving birth, the villains of the Lan family are very likely to take the opportunity to mutiny. Your Majesty listens to my concubine, and I will leave this matter to my concubine." Let's do it."

Ah Che was originally weak, but before taking the Yulu pill, Wei Xi had already brought in an imperial doctor to take good care of her, and now her body is much stronger.

The imperial doctor said that the current Ah Che can withstand the childbirth, no problem.

As long as they give birth to their own prince, Wei Xi's fragile throne will be temporarily stabilized.

Ah Che knew that he was not worthy of the second place, if it wasn't for his flaws, he wouldn't have made it so hard for his beloved.

All six generations of her family were born in the Hanlin Academy, but it is a pity that none of them is an official.Although Hanlin scholars have a good reputation for being full of economics, they are considered poor among high-ranking officials.

It is even more incomparable with powerful people like the Lan family and the Wu family.

She can't do anything for the guard who has cared for her since she was a child, but to give birth to a prince, which is the only thing she can do...

After all, she was pregnant.

On the day they learned that Ah Che was pregnant, the two of them wept with joy.

Wei Xi called the imperial doctor to see him, and the imperial doctor said that Ah Che's pulse condition is stable, as long as he is not anxious, irritable, or worrying, and the mouth is not allowed to drink things that are very cold, the fetus will be safe.

They finally have the most powerful weapons and the right to speak.As soon as the prince comes into the world, Wei Xi will make him the prince and make Ah Che his queen!

Who has any objections when I see it!

After Ah Che became pregnant, with Luo Xuanfang's strong support and painstaking recruiting, finally some people who had long been displeased with Lan Kan's party stood on Wei Xi's side, assisted the young emperor, and suppressed Lan's party.

Lan Kan still didn't take Wei Xi seriously.

At that time, Lan Wan's niece Lan Wan gave birth to her daughter Lu Lanxin and recuperated for several years, and her body and energy also recovered a lot, and she has become the backbone of the Lan family.

The Lan family was extremely dissatisfied with the new emperor, thinking that Wei Xi was not worthy of the position of Emperor Dacang, and planned to unite with the Wu family and the Shen family to abolish Wei Xi and embrace Wang Weiye as emperor.

He had already thought of a strategy, but who knew that the Zhuang family was pregnant suddenly, and Luo Xuanfang had even recruited a group of old dogs to support the emperor, lingering on his last breath.

Even though half of this group of people has already been buried in the ground, most of them are veterans of the three dynasties, and there are many disciples and old officials in the dynasties.

The three families plotted secretly, since these old things made a fuss about the unborn child in Zhuang's womb, they would completely eradicate it to avoid future troubles.

Lan Kan smiled and said, "I'll see if Wei Xi dares to disobey."

After Ah Che became pregnant, Wei Xi, Luo Xuanfang and a group of veterans who supported her began to plan to consolidate the throne and gradually weaken the power of the Lan clan. They were often so busy that they even forgot to eat, but they were full of energy.

Because Ah Che was pregnant, Wei Xi often came to see her, but he would leave after she fell asleep and return to the Provincial Palace to continue handling political affairs.

That's what she told Ah Che, but the news that some concubines in the harem were secretly favored by the emperor still reached Ah Che's ears.

Ah Che didn't believe it at first, but Concubine Wu actually mentioned several moles on the emperor's extremely private position, and she still spread some very private habits of the emperor in private, which were exactly the same as what Ah Che knew... …

Ah Che knew that she should not doubt Wei Zhen, she knew that she should trust Wei Zhen wholeheartedly.But she still can't help thinking, thinking...

At that time, Ah Che had two personal maidservants, and the daily meals and supplements had to go through the hands of these two, and Ah Che would only let Ah Che eat after trying them out.

Ah Che was tired and had no appetite every day. It was because of the two maidservants who accompanied her to comfort her and coax her that she reluctantly ate some.

After staying up for a long time, Wei Xi finally didn't have to stay up all night, and he could stay with his wife even at night.

But Ah Che smelled a strange scent on her body...

She finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked Wei Xi.

"Is there?" Wei Xi was too tired to open his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the maid changed a batch of new tribute clothes a few days ago, it probably smells like this. What's the matter, doesn't Ah Che like it? "

Ah Che smelled it, the scent was exactly the same as Concubine Wu's.

Ah Che felt cold all over and stayed up all night, she was thinking about whether to ask Wei Xi.

But once she asked, it was questioning Wei Xi and putting more pressure on her.

Wei Xi is no longer the carefree princess, she is the emperor now, she is the emperor of Dacang, what she needs is to focus on the whole world.

The emperor may have great favors, but it has never been heard that the emperor only favors one person all his life, and neglects all the harem.

How close is the relationship between the harem and the former dynasty? Ah Che is a person who has read the book, and she understands the relationship.

And the Zhuang family she was born in couldn't bring strong support to the emperor, and the emperor had to block the knife for her and take care of her emotions with all his heart.

It is useless for her not to be able to share the burden for the emperor, so how can she continue to embarrass the emperor?

Ah Che thought about it all night, but finally gave up and didn't speak.

Wei Xi waited happily for the prince's arrival, shuttling between Ache's bedroom and the previous court, and after causing the opponent a few big losses in the contest with Lan's party, he even underestimated the enemy.

Unexpectedly, Lan's poisonous hands had already grabbed Ah Che's throat.

Those rumors that made much ado about nothing but were extremely accurate all flowed from the mouth of the servant girl serving the guards to the ears of Lan's party, and then to Ah Che's ears.

The unfamiliar incense on Wei Xi's body, her absence at night, are all plots to make Ah Che anxious.

And Ah Che's personal servant girl has long been controlled by the Lan family. Every day, what she drinks is sweet and smooth, but it contains a cold medicine that is not easy to detect.

On the day when Ah Che gave birth, Wei Xi was entangled by Lan Kan in the early court, and after she dealt with it in a hurry, he rushed to Ah Che's palace.

With an excited and hot heart, he arrived at the door of the room, but saw a group of imperial doctors frowning, and Wei Xi's smile fell from his face instantly.

Ah Che had dystocia and hemorrhage, fearing that his life would be lost.

Wei Xi couldn't believe what he heard.

Isn't everything safe?Why do you bleed profusely? !

Wei Xi couldn't wait for half a breath, rushed into the delivery room, and knocked a copper basin full of blood to the ground.

There was a strong smell of blood in the room.

Wei Xi rushed to Ah Che and held her hand, anxiously calling her name.

Ah Che was covered in sweat, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, unfamiliar and extremely fragile.

Ah Che opened his eyes in a dazed state, saw Wei Xi, and in his reluctance, he only responded for a while before completely dying.

"Ache?"

Wei Xi couldn't believe it. She shook his wife and touched his wife's face, but there was no response.

The child was handed over, and Wei Xi held the child in his hands. The child was bloody and purple all over, and when he reached her palm, he took a breath and then fell silent.

Standing where she was, Wei Xi felt that the blackness of the whole world was falling from the sky, completely destroying her vision.

The unbelievably great grief made her unable to cry.

She hugged her dead wife and the child who hadn't opened her eyes to see the world, and she didn't move for a whole day.

This is all she has, and now it is inexplicably lost.

She used to think that she would be very happy, and she also thought that she had grasped that happiness.

But when she opened her palm, she found that what she was holding was just a strand of sand and a puddle of water.

No matter how tightly she holds it and cherishes it, it has passed through her fingers.

……

Wei Xi named her and Ah Che's child Zhao Mu.

She buried Chao Mu and Ah Che together, and after her birthday, she buried her with his wife and beloved daughter.

Since that day, the former Wei Xi has disappeared with his wife, and standing in front of Lan Kan and the others again is a stranger Wei Xi himself is not familiar with.

"In my life, I swear that the Lan family, the Wu family, the Shen family, and everyone involved in this matter will pay for their lives. Ah Che, Zhao Mu, you will see this day."
