tribute male queen

However, involving the vital interests of nobles and clan members, opposition to the promulgation of the New Deal came one after another. In the end, Emperor Shengwen compromised and gave up.Because, some ministers impeached her, saying that the demon concubine was confusing the government, and some even said that the emperor gave Helan Ruyue the key to the Dragon Vein Treasure House, the foundation of Beicang's kingdom.

But this time, Emperor Shengwen accommodated the court ministers and withdrew the edict of the New Deal. It seemed that the emperor had reached an agreement with several ministers.

In those few years, Emperor Shengwen seemed to be more cheerful than before. From outsiders' point of view, the emperor doted on Concubine Helan very much, and the husband and wife were very affectionate.

Helan Ruyue finally found some tranquility in Beicang Palace. She still often accompanied the emperor out of the palace. Sometimes they went hunting in Longshou Mountain, sometimes went fishing in Fairy Lake, and sometimes went to a farmhouse to experience the life of ordinary people...

Emperor Shengwen seemed to have forgotten everything about Gu Mingzhou and the queen. He doted on his beautiful wife who was married back from Donglin, and he once hoped to have a child belonging to the two of them.It's a pity that the sky didn't fulfill people's wishes, when the news of Helan Ruyue's happiness was only three days old, Helan Ruyue, who had eaten the corresponding food by mistake, had a miscarriage.

Although the emperor also suspected that someone secretly tampered with the diet, he tortured all the maids and eunuchs serving in the imperial kitchen and the imperial concubine's bedroom, but no clues were found.

After that, Helan Ruyue did not spread any happy news.

Emperor Shengwen became gloomy again, removed and replaced ministers from time to time, and increased the system of cruel officials, which caused complaints among the people.

He Lan Ruyue's persuasion failed, but at the same time, she also found that the emperor's health was deteriorating.

In the fifth year, when Helan Ruyue came to Beicang, the life of Emperor Shengwen came to an end.

The crown prince was fifteen years old, and he was not yet a weak crown. No matter how bad the prince was, Emperor Shengwen chose the assistant minister for him.

Emperor Shengwen passed away, and when the dull toll of the death knell resounded throughout the Beicang Palace, He Lan Ruyue collapsed to the ground.

Those ministers who were dissatisfied with Emperor Shengwen's implementation of the New Deal at the beginning, united with the auxiliary ministers, and ordered Helan Ruyue to be buried under the will of Emperor Wen.Facing those ministers who forced her to commit suicide and be buried under the pretext of the last emperor's will, He Lan Ruyue smiled bleakly.

Just as she was holding up the glass cup and was about to drink the poisonous wine, a sleeve arrow knocked down the cup.

The heir, Yuan Wenjing, strode into the imperial concubine's bedroom, followed by An Rong, the chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace, and a young man in ordinary clothes.

Yuan Wenjing glanced at the humerus minister in the room, and asked, "The bones of the former emperor are not cold, what are you doing?"

"The last emperor's decree ordered the noble concubine..."

Yuan Wenjing raised his hand to stop the minister, and said coldly: "The imperial concubine is the woman that the late emperor loved. If she really liked her, she would never have committed suicide. In the name of the late emperor's love for the imperial concubine, you are now forcing her to commit suicide , what is the intention?"

"This?" All the ministers looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

"It is obvious to all that the former emperor loved his concubine, and he would never have the heart to make him follow him away. This matter is over, don't bring it up again." The little emperor's eyes were cold, and all the ministers were stern, not daring to say more, and they all withdrew.

He Lan Ruyue opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"I should call you the concubine now." The little emperor said, "The concubine is not in good health, so let's move to the Yongshou Palace to rest. I will send someone to take good care of her to ensure that the concubine is clean. Don't worry too much about the concubine. Stubborn old ministers, if they get confused for a while, they will figure it out."

From then on, Helan Ruyue lived in seclusion in Yongshou Palace. Apart from the servants and eunuchs, there were guards and secret guards sent by Xinjun outside, both under house arrest and protection...

Hearing this, He Lancong passed the brocade handkerchief to his sister, secretly feeling sorry for her.

He Lan Ruyue wiped away tears, and said: "The new emperor ascended the throne, so he slightly changed the old emperor's new policy and continued to implement it. Of course, another group of ministers objected, but those ministers who opposed either returned home or returned to their hometowns automatically. No one knows exactly how the emperor did it in Shangshu's excerpt, but you must have experienced his skill. It took less than two years for Bei Cang to reverse his decline, and then raised troops to attack Donglin, his scheming should not be underestimated."

He Lancong smiled wryly, "I won't underestimate him, I've already fallen into his hands. A defeated general, how can he have the qualifications to underestimate the enemy."

He Lan Ruyue stood up, walked around the room for a long time, and said: "You must go out, you can't stay here. I really can't help you, you must remember, as long as you have a chance, you can go, don't worry about me."

He Lancong shook his head, "If possible, I will take you away, this place is too scary."

"I've heard some things about you, alas, let's take a look at it. It's serious to recuperate your body and find a way to leave."

"I... try not to think about those things." He Lancong's complexion darkened, how could he forget the pain that was so hard to remember?

"..."

In Canglan Hall, the emperor and Yuan Chang sat on the soft wool carpet and talked for a long time.

"Your Majesty, how sure are you that you invite Concubine Helan to heal his heart disease?"

The emperor said: "I don't know, I haven't thought about it."

"Then has your majesty enjoyed revenge now?" Yuan Chang didn't turn the corner, he just wanted to force the emperor to face up to his mentality, so as not to go astray in the future and get deeper and deeper.

The emperor put his head in his hands and said: "I still don't know, I don't know whether I am happy or unhappy now, I am very sad."

Yuan Chang sighed, and said softly: "Since you don't know, then don't think about it. Now, let me talk about something important."

The emperor hummed and asked, "What happened?"

"Yingshan has found King Yi's men and horses, and there are quite a few of them. Your Majesty, look, how should we deal with it, should we recruit them to surrender, or clear them up?"

The emperor thought for a while, and said: "King Yi and Yang Lin are very close now. What I want to do is to win Yang Lin in one fell swoop. But Yang Lin is the elder of the three dynasties, and he is not easy to move. When I implemented the New Deal, I was able to do so. It's going well, it's nothing more than holding the military power in your hands, and you're not afraid of the group of stubborn old people secretly stumbling you. But some ministers didn't move, I think you know the reason."

Yuan Chang nodded, "It's really tricky."

The emperor suddenly showed a strange smile, and said: "On the Yingshan side, let Han Chaohui bring some people and bluff to clear them up. As for Beijing, it's best to let Yang Lin show his fox tail."

Yuan Chang said again: "The two censors, Cao and Cui, have been making a lot of trouble recently."

"Let them make trouble, as long as they don't come to make trouble with me, let them go."

At this time, someone outside reported loudly, saying that the second chief executive, An Rong, asked to see him, the emperor said, and came in.

An Rong quickly came in and knelt in front of the emperor and King Xian. The emperor asked, "Going away?"

An Rong said: "Go back to Your Majesty, the concubine just left."

The emperor chuckled, "This is not a short time, how is it?"

An Rong said: "Young master seems to be in good spirits, and his appetite seems to have improved a lot."

"Heh." The emperor laughed loudly and said, "As expected, this woman is still the best. Did he eat that crab roe soup?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the concubine said, there are two small bowls."

"Okay, okay!" Emperor Longyan said happily, "Be careful and wait on him, don't be negligent. Oh, and also, the weather is getting colder, so let's go to the Secretary's Workshop to prepare winter clothes for him."

Yuan Chang said: "Director Rong, what did they say?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the emperor became interested, yes, what did they say?

Yuan Chang smiled helplessly, and replied: "Your Majesty, forgive me, this old slave is incompetent. The concubine and Mr. Helan speak the dialect of Donglin, which this old slave cannot understand."

"Ah, ha..." the emperor raised his head and laughed, "It's interesting, it's so interesting. An Rong, I suddenly discovered that this He Lancong is a treasure. Please show me carefully, so that nothing can go wrong."

"According to the order!"

20. Helan VS Emperor...

After Helan Ruyue left that day, the current owner of Zhaohuang Pavilion began to feel heavy again.

The bodyguards guarding in the open, the hidden guards hiding in the dark, and even An Rong, the eunuch in charge, are all masters of concealment.

Trapped in a shelving house, unable to break free from chains, forced to take poison, her sister who tied her down in the palace...

Thinking of this, the people in the high cabinet were in great pain.

The chest tightness has lasted for two or three days, and sometimes I feel short of breath, and it takes a long time to get over it.

He Lancong thought, it must be the medicine that caused the trouble, right?

Yuan Chang came over today, took his pulse in a hurry, left the pills, and left without saying anything.

The emperor dismissed the others and handed over the medicine, "Take it, it will get better."

"..." He Lancong hesitated, neither answering nor not answering.

"You have taken this medicine, I promise you, how about letting the concubine come to visit you from time to time?" The emperor's tone was soft, with a hint of caution and hope, and passed the medicine forward again.

Seeing that he didn't move, the emperor tentatively put the medicine into his mouth, as if worried that he would want to vomit the medicine like last time, and carefully observed his reaction.But what reassured the emperor was that the captive swallowed the medicine silently this time.

"I remember you once said that I am a low-level slave. If so, it is not appropriate to put me here." He Lancong opened his mouth, still saying what the emperor didn't like to hear.

The emperor was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "But you are also my son Helan, you are already one of my people, with a title and a monthly salary. Now I want to pamper you, and I don't want to treat you as a slave."

He Lancong sneered, turned his head and ignored him, the emperor moved closer to him, and asked, "It's getting cold, have the people from Sizhifang been here?"

Seeing that He Lancong still ignored him, the emperor had no choice but to stretch out his hand and caress his forehead. Recently, he was always worried that this person would not be able to adapt to the weather in the north.but
