Bandits raising buns

There was a heavy snowfall in Lingcheng, Kyoto. When we got up the next day, the entire capital was covered in a layer of white snow.The bustling streets in the past were empty, without a single figure.

The thick white snow cannot conceal the strong smell of blood.None of the people hiding at home can forget the killing yesterday.

The troubled times started with King Qin's rebellion, and now 46 cities in the Southern Qi Dynasty and [-] cities in the north have belonged to King Qin.The young emperor was sitting in the middle of the capital, with only [-] cities left in his hands. He was facing the King of Qin across the dry river.It's just that in the Southern Qi capital, the real power is not the young emperor, but the one from Duanwangfu.Duan Wang Li Ci was the younger brother of the late emperor, and the late emperor left him alone, so Li Ci became the regent.

When the news of the collusion between the Prime Minister of the Southern Qi Dynasty and the King of Qin reached the palace, the young emperor was so frightened that he fell off the table and looked at the next sitting King Duan tremblingly.King Duan was wearing a purple python robe and was holding a cup of tea in his hand. When he heard the news, the expression on his face did not change at all. He took a sip of the tea slowly, and then glanced at the little emperor.

"Uncle...uncle, what should we do?" the little emperor asked in a trembling voice.

Duan Wang was very handsome, with thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes, gentle and elegant, except for one pair of eyes, with a vicious air of prey.Duan Wang ignored the little emperor, but put down the tea in his hand, and said calmly: "Let Wei Zhenyuan arrest all the people in the prime minister's residence."

Duan Wang seemed to have thought of something, got up and walked out, when he reached the door, someone asked: "Your Majesty, what do you do with those people in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Duan Wang's tone was still calm: "They're all beheaded."

The little emperor who was sitting on the ground trembled even more.

Therefore, 140 or eight members of the prime minister's family were beheaded in the execution ground, and King Duan imprisoned them personally, and blood stained the entire execution ground.Everyone present remembered that in front of the execution platform, in the blood that filled the sky, the figure was like a pine willow, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Smiling Yan Luo.

The powerful and invulnerable King Duan actually has weaknesses.

There is a courtyard in the south of Duanwang Mansion. The layout of that courtyard is not much different from other courtyards, but all the servants of Duanwang Mansion know that that courtyard is different.There is no master in that courtyard, but there are fixed days every month, Prince Duan will stay in that courtyard, if nothing happens, he will not go out for a day.

There are rumors that the most beloved woman of King Duan once lived in that courtyard, and later, that woman left the palace.There are also rumors that there lived in that courtyard a man with a handsome appearance who captivated the prince's heart, and later had an affair with him, and was executed by the prince himself.But those are guesses.The people who served in that yard before seemed to have disappeared.Now the one who takes care of that yard is the prince's servant.

Xiaoliuzi was King Duan's close servant. He entered the palace at the age of 11, and was assigned to King Duan. He served King Duan for six years, and grew from a young eunuch to a senior eunuch.He hadn't seen anyone in that yard either.But he has a secret, there is a room in that yard, and there is a portrait hanging in the room, and the portrait is an extremely good-looking man.The man has black hair like ink, and his eyebrows are delicate, with a delicate air between his eyebrows and eyes.Little Six would occasionally lose his mind, thinking about the man in the portrait.

"Little Six, how many years have you been with me?" A voice suddenly sounded in my ear.

Little Six was startled, and hurriedly came back to his senses, looking at the man on the seat with a smile on his mouth, but felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet.After six years of serving by King Duan's side, the little six still couldn't figure out his master's temperament.

"My lord, it's been six years." The little six said cautiously.

"Did you see him?" Duan Wang tapped his fingers on the table and asked suddenly.

Little Six's feet trembled, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed several times: "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life! This slave is wrong!"

"This king said that you can't enter that room, and you have to change one eye every six years. Go down." Duan Wang said lightly.

When Little Six came back, he had only one eye left. He stood tremblingly behind Duan Wang, and lived in fear for a while.Thinking about it later, Xiao Liuzi felt lucky, he felt that the prince had shown mercy to him.Because something happened two years ago.At that time, the prince had a beloved concubine named Yan Hong, people's desires were always unlimited, and it was easy to make gains.Yanhong followed the prince for a year, won the prince's exclusive favor, and then became pregnant again, so she regarded herself as the master of the palace, and even the princess was never looked down upon.The hand got longer and longer, and it stretched out into the yard, eating the jealousy of the rumored person.Yan Hong broke into this courtyard with her maid.Then...then was given to death by the prince, together with the child in Yanhong's belly, and all the people who served her.

At that time, King Duan pinched Yan Hong's neck, his voice was unprecedentedly cold, and he said: How dare you disturb his peace?

Because of offending that person, King Duan didn't show mercy even to his own flesh and blood.Duan Wang's temperament has always been indifferent. In six years, it was the first time that Xiao Liuzi saw him so angry.It was also at that time that a seed was planted in Xiao Liuzi's heart. He became curious and wanted to see that person.

Now that I get what I want, I also eat its evil results.

"My lord, the Empress Dowager calls you into the palace to have an audience!" On the fifth day after King Duan closed the door in that courtyard, the palace servants came to report.

This Empress Dowager is the biological mother of the former emperor and Duan Wang, and the biological grandmother of the current emperor. She is honored and favored, and her status is respected.There are very few people who can make King Duan look in his eyes, and the Empress Dowager is one of them.So King Duan put on a golden python robe and went to the palace.

The Empress Dowager lived in the Jinxiu Palace, and there was a silence in the Jinxiu Palace. A young eunuch stood at the door and led Prince Duan to the Empress Dowager.When Duan Wang walked outside the door, he heard a burst of crying inside.Duan Wang frowned, the little eunuch knocked on the door quickly when he saw this, and the crying inside became louder.

When King Duan entered, all the palace people withdrew, and there was only one old woman who served the Empress Dowager.The Empress Dowager is a graceful lady, except for the fine lines around her eyes, she still looks very young.The Empress Dowager was crying like pear blossoms and rain, while King Duan sat on the side like a log.

King Duan was indifferent, and the Empress Dowager was weeping tirelessly, so she wiped the tears from her face, sat up straight, and gave him a fierce look with her phoenix eyes, which were very similar to King Duan.

"Lian'er, come out." The Empress Dowager said to the curtain.

After a while, a slim woman came out from inside.The woman had an oval face and distant mountain eyebrows, and there was a sense of nobility between her eyebrows.When King Duan saw the woman, his face suddenly turned cold.This woman is none other than Duan Wangfei, the wife of Duan Wang Mingmei, Wang Shi Wang Lian.

"The concubine pays respects to the prince." The woman said respectfully.

Duan Wang didn't seem to hear it.

The Empress Dowager beckoned, the gate of the palace suddenly opened, and a group of women entered from outside.Those were all young women with pretty faces, aged between fifteen and twenty.

"Ci'er, these are specially chosen by Lian'er for you. You are also a prince after all, and you should have a few women by your side to serve you." The Empress Dowager said.She didn't want to take care of these things.But after so many years, King Duan hardly approached women, and the only one who remained by his side was Yan Hong, who was executed in the end.Duan Wang is already 25 years old, and still has no son and half daughter.This has always been the empress dowager's heart disease.

The Empress Dowager's gaze swept across King Duan's face inch by inch, with various emotions flowing in her eyes.The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, but the human heart is naturally biased.This is her youngest son and her favorite child.Her eldest son is the prince, and everything is taught by the Taifu.Her youngest son was brought up by her own hands, and even his own name was taught by her stroke by stroke.Even if they are all biological, they are different from each other.

"Ci'er, I often have dreams. It would be great if you had a child..." The Empress Dowager said movedly, "I know you still miss him in your heart, but it has been so many years..."

"Mother's queen!" Duan Wang said suddenly, the coldness in his voice made his biological mother a little scared.

The Empress Dowager gently rubbed her brows: "Ci'er, take a look, don't disappoint Lian'er's thoughts, and let the queen mother feel at ease."

Duan Wang finally raised his head, his eyes swept over the faces of those women.Duan Wang was handsome, luxurious and elegant, those women all lowered their heads, their faces blushing.King Duan's eyes finally fell on the woman in the right corner.The woman's appearance is not outstanding among all the beauties, but the aura between her eyebrows...

Wang's gaze briefly collided with the Empress Dowager's, with a sense of helplessness and sadness.

Xiao Liuzi, who had been by King Duan's side all this time, also looked over, and his body trembled unconsciously. That woman... that woman's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to the man in the painting!

"Come here." Duan Wang said to the woman.

The woman lowered her head and walked in front of King Duan on a half-kneel.Duan Wang reached out and grabbed her chin, making her look up.Duan Wang's strength was a bit strong, the woman seemed to be in pain, and her eyes were covered with mist.
