Yulingzhai.

Yuan Zhi brought the imperial doctor out, and there were already a group of ministers, concubines and princes waiting outside the door, all of them had worried expressions on their faces.He shook his head secretly in his heart, but still managed to express an unfathomable expression.When everyone saw him like this, they knew that Mian Sheng was hopeless, some asked a few words and went back home, and some were unwilling to wait outside the door.Even in vain.

Emperor Zhaosheng has been in a coma for two whole days, except for the imperial doctor and his attendants, the only one who can enter the Yulingzhai is King Zhao.

Yuan Zhi sighed secretly in his heart, raised his eyes to look at the leaden gray sky covered with haze, and weighed heavily on the top of the city, probably it was going to snow.

This is the new first snow.

He remembered the day when Emperor Zhaosheng fell, the emperor took Xuanweizi's elixir as usual, his face was ruddy, not like an old man, but Yuan Zhi and Xuanweizi who stood beside him knew it all , this is the limit - Emperor Zhaosheng's body has been hollowed out.

In the afternoon of that day, the emperor was practicing calligraphy in Yulingzhai, but after writing two strokes, suddenly the hand holding the pen froze, and the ink splashed out, wantonly dyeing the clear white rice paper. Yuan Zhi was startled when he saw Emperor Zhaosheng Clutching his chest and leaning on the case, he was full of pain.

When everyone came back to their senses, Xuan Weizi had mysteriously disappeared from the palace.The imperial doctor knelt down in front of Emperor Zhaosheng's bed, but he was helpless.Yuan Zhi stood aside obediently with lowered eyebrows, waiting silently, waiting for the monarch until the last moment of his life.

He has been with Emperor Zhaosheng for 32 years, but he has been in this palace for nearly fifty years.In the past 50 years, from an ignorant child to gray temples, he has been used to the cruelty and ruthlessness in this world, and he has tempered a flesh and blood heart into steel, and then turned the steel into ashes.

Yuan Zhi looked at the unconscious emperor on the couch, saw his eyes closed and his teeth gritted, he must be in great pain.In the face of life and death, the most honorable emperor in the world fell from the peak of the gods and became an ordinary old man, enduring the torment of life, old age, sickness and death alone.

This long time, the love and hatred of Emperor Zhaosheng, the joys and sorrows, will finally come to an end.

For Emperor Zhaosheng, it all started in the seventh year of Deyou. Before that, he wanted to ascend the throne wholeheartedly, and he only met Xiao Yu once from a distance.A glimpse in the prince's other garden, Xiao Yu's figure in red dress and plain skirt was engraved in his heart. From then on, greed, jealousy mixed with love eroded the emperor's heart.

For Yuanzhi, it all began in the last years of Emperor Jiawen, after the prince's wedding.At that time, he was a young eunuch in Concubine Xiao's palace. He made a mistake and was about to be dragged out of the imperial court.

For Yuan Zhi, who was still weak and young, eighty sticks were enough to kill him.That day, Xiao Yu, who had just become the prince's bride, went to visit her aunt in the palace. When she got off the carriage, she happened to see him, so she went to intercede with Concubine Xiao Gui: "It's just a small mistake, why bother to break it?" One life.Seeing what she said, Concubine Xiao pardoned Yuan Zhi's court staff.

That day Xiao Yu was wearing a plain saluoru skirt, her hair was only pulled up in a simple style, she was wearing a thin layer of makeup, and when she smiled, she was shockingly beautiful.She came over and lifted him up kindly but dignifiedly.She had just entered the palace, even though she was the daughter of the crown prince, she didn't understand many things. In the palace, no one would bother with such a humble little eunuch.

That was a real young girl, one year younger than him, when she smiled without haze, it was as bright as the sun in the sky, and her eyes were so clear that she could see people.Yuan Zhi has been in the palace for more than ten years, but he has never seen such a woman.

But 12 years later, when I saw Xiao Yu again, there was only sorrow in her eyes, and there were signs of vicissitudes on her face, which was the imprint left on her by time, but she was still so beautiful, which made people tremble.

Seven years passed like this, until the 18th year of Deyou, when Emperor Zhaosheng was away in battle, Xiao Yu got Yuan Che after a private meeting with the prince.It was the first time he saw a smile on her face after entering the palace, a gentle mother's smile.

That was not the emperor's child, both Emperor Zhaosheng and Xiao Yu knew it well, a bowl of abortion medicine was placed in front of her.He stood in front of her, waiting for her to drink the medicine.

She didn't drink, looked at him, and didn't shed tears, just caressed her lower abdomen, smiled at him bleakly, even Yuan Zhi's heart that had been tempered into steel couldn't help throbbing.This child is her only hope in her desperate and dark life.

Xiao Yu no longer remembered the little eunuch who was rescued casually back then.At that time, she was the noble concubine, the future queen of Dasheng, and he was a humble little eunuch, living and dying.After a mutiny, she fled the capital in haste with the crown prince, and turned into an ordinary woman in the world in a jingchai sarong, while he was promoted step by step in the palace and became Emperor Zhaosheng's confidant.

But he has never forgotten her, and has been thinking about it all the time, one day he will repay her kindness.His hands trembled and he walked out of the palace gate.

Six months later, Yuan Che came into the world.In the same year, Prince Xiaocheng hanged himself.Emperor Zhaosheng never saw her again.

On such a day, she struggled for another three years, wearing plain clothes all day long.He never asked her why, but Yuan Zhi knew in his heart that she was keeping a filial piety for Prince Xiaocheng.She was afraid that her husband would be born as an emperor and nobleman, but after his death, no one would know about it, no one would keep his filial piety, and his soul would have nowhere to go, it was too sad.

Xiao Yuyuan was just an ordinary woman. Since she was a child in her boudoir, she was regarded by her father as the apple of his eye, and she was cared for in every possible way. She didn't know what suffering in the world was.Later, even if she loses her noble status, she will always be loved by her husband. If she can stay with her husband like this for the rest of her life, she will be happy.It's just that unfortunately, she was born to be overwhelmed by the country and the city, coveted by the emperor, so she had to trade her beauty for her husband's safety, and bear the weight of fate with her frail body.

The joys and sorrows are always ruthless, and human affairs are unpredictable.

Three years later, Xiao Yu also left with the former prince.Only Yuan Che was left alone in this palace.Emperor Zhaosheng once wanted to poison the child to death, but Yuan Che survived.He didn't know whether it was because he was ashamed of his brother or because he still had affection for Xiao Yu, but he left Yuan Che behind and let him fend for himself in this palace.

Yuan Che was an extremely precocious child, and he was even more well-born. His facial features were very much like those of the former princess.If such a child is in an ordinary family, if his parents are still there, he must be loved and loved extremely, but in the palace, he will only be treated coldly.

As for Yuan Zhi, he has been silently protecting him from disasters. He was the one who brought Yuan Che into this world, and he wanted to protect Yuan Che well.

When Yuan Che was 13 years old, Concubine Zhong Gui secretly assassinated Yuan Che, put him on the Ecstasy Powder, and pushed him into the Taiye Pool. When Yuan Zhi heard the news and dared to go, Yuan Che had already been rescued. That was the secret work of the prince's old department sneaking into the palace.

Only then did he know that these people hadn't been caught in the hunt for many years.
