The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

The Pearl Embroidery Palace was busy, and a group of court ladies and eunuchs were kneeling outside the main hall. Zhao Zhang walked all the way in, and heard Concubine Ning's cry from a long distance: "Let me go...what are you saving me for? Let me I'd rather die!"

Zhao Zhang strode into the inner room and glanced sharply. The maids and eunuchs who were waiting on him knelt down one after another. The three imperial physicians knelt aside in embarrassment. One lost his hat and the other wet his clothes. It can be seen that the patient was full of energy. .

Going around the screen, Zhao Zhang saw Pu Xiufang being forcibly pulled by two court ladies. She was holding a pair of scissors with the pointed end facing his neck.

The appearance of Zhao Zhang did not stop the farce, but intensified it. Pu Xiufang bit the hand of a big palace lady, forcing her to let go, and then pushed another big palace lady away. The scissors were about to be inserted into her chest. At the critical moment, it was stopped by the court lady who rushed forward again, but the scissors pierced through the palm of the palace lady, and the blood burst out, soaking Pu Xiufang's clothes.

"Is it enough?" Zhao Zhang asked coldly.

Pu Xiufang was stunned for a moment, staring at the blood on her hand for a while, then screamed, threw away the scissors and returned to the bed, but the injured palace lady endured the pain and remained silent, it was unbearable to watch.

"Come here..." Zhao Zhang asked an imperial doctor to heal the court lady, and then stood there looking at the aggrieved and crying woman, feeling that his patience had been exhausted, and said in a cold voice, "If you really want to die, you don't have to bother, I can give you You don't need a glass of poisoned wine or three feet of white silk, and you don't need the help of the maids around you, let Director Du send you on your way, what do you think?"

Pu Xiufang looked at him in shock, "You... what do you mean?"

Zhao Zhang kept silent with a cold face, but Pu Xiufang was already on the verge of collapse. She wanted to arouse Zhao Zhang's sympathy with a bitter trick, but unexpectedly, it made him even more disgusted with her.

At this moment, she clearly realized that her position in the emperor's heart had plummeted, and even the basic brother-sister relationship had disappeared.

"Cousin..." Pu Xiufang yelled, she couldn't accept this reality, she always thought that she was the most special person to Zhao Zhang, but he didn't get close to her for some reason, one day She was still able to get close to him, but unexpectedly, the other party was already ruthless to her.

Pu Xiufang burst into tears. As soon as the queen mother entered the palace, she heard the heart-piercing cry. She trotted in and saw the blood on the bed, her eyes dazed. What about the imperial physician? Are they all dead?"

Zhao Zhang looked at them without moving, and said softly, "Don't worry about the mother, the blood is not hers, why did you come here in the middle of the night?"

He also forgot that since Pu Xiufang was going to play, of course she wouldn't just face him, the empress dowager was also a very important figure, and it was because of her relationship that she, Pu Xiufang, was able to walk sideways in the harem.

"How could Aijia not come when I heard such a thing?" Empress Dowager Pu was also angry, both for her son and for her niece, and now she regretted making the two into a pair, and the brothers and sisters who got along well became enemies.

"Auntie!" Pu Xiufang threw herself into the arms of the queen mother, crying uncontrollably, but she was the only one who could move her.

"Okay, what's the use of crying, let me tell you what kind of trouble you're making today? What are you doing in order to die?" The Empress Dowager Pu still knew her niece. It is even more clear.

Pu Xiufang was only crying but couldn't tell why. The news of her being grounded spread throughout the harem, which made her lose all face. Although she was not favored by the emperor in the past, the emperor was more tolerant of her than other concubines. The number one self-proclaimed, never put other women in his eyes, did not expect to be grounded this time, just thinking about how to face those women in the future, Pu Xiufang really wanted to die.

Zhao Zhang stood quietly for a while, and when the crying subsided, he said: "I will give you another chance to choose, should you leave the harem and live outside, or be imprisoned in this harem for the rest of your life as a wealthy idler? "

Concubine Ning and Empress Dowager Pu raised their heads at the same time, the former looked puzzled, while the latter looked shocked, but soon, Empress Dowager Pu figured it out, the emperor had made up his mind not to kiss the harem.

The Empress Dowager Pu said angrily: "Your Majesty, tell the Ai family the truth, why don't you get close to the concubines in the harem? If you have someone in your heart, no matter what her origin or status, the Ai family can let you into the palace, even She is allowed to change her face and occupy a high position, but you can't break the rules of the harem just because of a woman! You are the emperor, and the harem is closely related to the previous dynasty. Royal blood is so important, what are you trying to do?"

"Mother, please calm down. I just can't bear my cousin being bound by the red wall and leaving the palace. She can have a wider world and meet her lover again. Why not do it?" Zhao Zhang avoided answering, just said made his own decision.

"I won't go!" Pu Xiufang jumped down excitedly and knelt down in front of Zhao Zhang, begging bitterly: "The emperor don't drive the concubine out of the palace, the concubine will not go away!" What identity?What good man can I meet again?When the time comes, she will not even be as good as the daughters of those petty officials, and everyone will laugh at her. That will be a life like hell.

"You can think clearly, there is only one chance." Zhao Zhang asked sternly. He wanted to let her live. If he wanted to liquidate the Pu family, he would definitely kill someone. Being implicated, what's more, what's the point of staying in this harem?The world is vast, with rivers, lakes and seas, wouldn't it be nice to have a chance to go out?

"Yes, the concubine is a member of the royal family when he is born, and a ghost of the royal family when he dies."

"That's all." Although Zhao Zhang couldn't agree with her choice, he also knew that everyone has their own ambitions and can't be forced. He only hoped that she would not regret it in the future.

Empress Dowager Pu came out after comforting her niece, and saw Zhao Zhang standing quietly with his back to the gate. The night was cold and dew heavy, and the palace lights were dim, but he stretched out that figure for a long time, as if he hadn't looked at his child carefully for a long time, as if he had passed away overnight. In a short while, he changed from the lively and active ghost to the current cold and rigid appearance. What did he miss?

"Has the emperor ever complained about Aijia?" Empress Dowager Pu asked softly standing beside him.

"How could the empress have such thoughts, you are my own mother." Zhao Zhang didn't say anything, the relationship between mother and child was harmonious, and there was nothing to complain about, even if she protected the Pu family, Zhao Zhang never complained about her.

"Let's walk with the queen mother." The queen mother stepped forward first. It was rare for the mother and son to walk together so quietly and peacefully. For a long time, the queen mother was reluctant to speak.

She suddenly remembered the joke she said many years ago. At that time, she asked Zhao Zhang: What kind of girl do you like?

The prince must marry a capable assistant for his status, but the youngest son can choose a wife according to his own preferences, even if the family is lower.

At that time Zhao Zhang replied, he seemed to be saying: I haven't met someone I like, I will know when I meet, but no matter who it is, I will definitely protect her, spoil her, and let her live forever happy.

At that time, she only thought of him as a child, and never cared about him. Now that she thinks about it, maybe he is a rare kind of lover who only falls in love with her own sweetheart. Say you want to marry whoever you want?

In the end, it was Zhao Zhang who spoke first. He said, "Mother, don't worry. My son has grown up and is the king of a country. He knows what to do. You just need to know that everything I do is based on the great Jin Dynasty."

Empress Dowager Pu was extremely helpless. This was the standard for the emperor and queen to raise the prince. I didn't expect that Zhao Zhang became such an emperor in the end. If the first emperor is still alive, he should feel relieved, right?

"The queen mother is old, and she doesn't want to interfere too much in the government affairs, but wants to spoil her grandchildren. Isn't this too much to ask?"

Zhao Zhang paused for a moment, and replied with a guilty conscience: "Isn't the queen mother already having a grandson? Ting'er is smart and well-behaved, and I like it very much."

Hearing him talk about her eldest grandson, Empress Dowager Pu showed a little smile on her face. At first she was worried that Zhao Zhang would not wait to see this child after he ascended the throne. Treat Zhao Ting very well, although he is a little strict in his studies, it is better than letting him go.

"Ting'er is Ting'er, and your child is your child. How can they be confused? What's more, how can there be only one child?"

Zhao Zhang curled his lips and retorted, "What do you want so many brothers for? Waiting for brothers to fight against the wall?"

Thinking about his brothers, not many of them are alive now, and they escaped the catastrophe because of their young age. So, don't have too many children, one is enough.

Empress Dowager Pu recalled those extremely dangerous days, and knew that these words made sense, but there is no old man who does not want to have many children and grandchildren, and this cannot be confused with the same thing.

"The queen mother has already made it very clear that the person you like can be accepted regardless of their status. As for the position of queen, not everyone can sit. You must be able to control the harem and be worthy of the previous court. What do you think?"

Zhao Zhang didn't say anything, he was in a low mood, and Empress Dowager Pu couldn't understand this depression, until Zhao Zhang said: "I don't have to marry anyone, the queen mother doesn't need to talk about it."

"Could it be that you can't marry that woman?" Empress Dowager Pu thought of several possibilities, the worst thing is that the woman is dead, and if Yin and Yang are separated, there is nothing Hua Tuo can do.

"No, let's not talk about this. The empress mother can focus more on Ting'er and raise him well. As for the others, let it go."

"Are... are you sure you want to do this?" Empress Dowager Pu made sure that the servants around her were too far away to hear their conversations, otherwise the whole world would be shaken if this word spread.

"It's too early to talk about it at this time. I'm still young. No matter what, Ting'er is the only blood of the emperor's brother. He must always be worthy of this status. There is no need to discuss other things. Who knows what will happen tomorrow. Well, empress mother, don't worry, maybe I will figure it out in a few years, and that will be fine."

After listening to these words, the Empress Dowager Pu put her worries back into her stomach. She was more and more sure that Zhao Zhang had been hurt emotionally, which is why she resisted this kind of thing so much. Time to fix it.
