The Obsessive Shou Moves On

"Snapped"--

The chopsticks in Li Ying's hand broke in two.

Yun Qing resigned without changing his face, and said: "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the greatest thing is to have no descendants. This minister is also doing this for His Majesty's benefit."

"Yun Qingci." Li Ying breathed heavily, and said in a hoarse voice, "Do you really want to do this?"

"I am His Majesty's Empress." Yun Qingci said as a matter of course: "I should share your worries. I used to be ignorant, but now I want to be a good Empress. I hope Your Majesty can cooperate."

"Indeed, I once hoped that you could be a little more rational." Li Ying said, "But I never said that I hoped that you would care for your husband and raise your children like the queens of the past..."

"I'm not doing it for Your Majesty, but for my own sake." Yun Qingci looked directly at him and said, "Your Majesty chose a girl from the Yun family to give birth to a dragon son. This is a great thing for me and for the Yun family. Your Majesty, don't you want to compensate me?"

Li Ying curled his lips, and after a few breaths, he suddenly got up and walked away.

"His Majesty."

Yun Qingci's voice made him stand at the door: "Your Majesty, think about it carefully, the minister will be ready to go in the next few days."

With his back facing him, Li Ying bent his back soundlessly, then straightened up abruptly, and left quickly with big strides.

Yun Qingci finished his breakfast in a leisurely manner, and ordered someone to send news to the Xiangfu.At the same time, Li Ying's carriage also stopped in front of Xiangfu.

Yun Xiang had just received the news from Yun Qingci that he was going to select good women from the Yun family to enter the palace. He was shocked and was about to go to the palace to have a good talk with Yun Qingci.

See what's going on.

After all, that was Yun Qingci who loved Li Ying deeply, how could he take the initiative to send a woman to him?

Although it's a good thing if he really wants to, the only thing Yun Xiang is afraid of is that if he loses his temper with Li Ying and does something he regrets.

After all, he is still the queen, and he has not really reconciled with Li Ying.

As a result, Li Ying came over from this side, and Yun Xiang hurried out to greet him. As soon as he left the front hall, he was already approaching like the wind, his voice hoarse: "Teacher."

Yun Xiang raised his eyes and saw that his dark eyes were vaguely moist. He suddenly remembered that when he first ascended the throne, whenever he retreated from the court, he would slowly walk down from the dragon seat, and then sat in front of the steps with his head down in a daze. emperor.

One time that left a deep impression on me, the boy's wide sleeves were draped over his knees, and his head sunk deeply in the wide sleeves, and he said in a low voice, "Teacher, I don't want to be an emperor anymore."

He maintained the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and stood beside him with Liu Ziru, sighing softly: "Your Majesty, don't say despondent words."

"Friends are estranged, teachers and students are alienated, mother and child are plotting against each other... What good is it to be the emperor?"

Liu Ziru hastily reminded: "Your Majesty!"

Yun Xiang still stood still, he just warned him calmly and gently: "Indecision is not enough to be an emperor, Your Majesty, get up quickly and go back to Jiangshan Palace."

"In this case, you can't say it again in the future."

He didn't say much.

The young emperor rolled his sleeves lightly and did not answer for a long time.

At that time, Yun Xiang thought, maybe he hoped that the teacher and the student would sit together and talk heart-to-heart like when Shang was still the prince. If Li Ying had any questions, he could get advice from him.

But monarchs and ministers are different.

They must be on guard against each other lest one of them be the first to change his mind.It was impossible for Yun Xiang to regard him as a student anymore, and it was impossible for Li Ying to regard him as a teacher anymore.

The emperor, he is the most honorable person in the world. When the country is prosperous, he will last forever.

No matter how reluctant he was, he sat down in this position, and he couldn't show any timidity.He is the emperor, even if it's just a young dragon, he has to show great power, otherwise, courtiers, common people, and enemy countries will not pay attention to him.

He can only teach him to put the country first, and he can only teach him how to be a good emperor.

All the thoughts in his heart can only be digested by himself, because those who are close to him will be envied by others. If one day he grows up to be a real emperor, those who understand his youthful thoughts or the embarrassing era may perish.

The etiquette of the monarch and his ministers is neither far nor near, only talking about what should be talked about, and only talking about what should be discussed, which is just a good distance.

Yun Xiang left without looking back.

Taking the lead to distance himself from his young emperor was his first step in teaching him to be emperor.

Yun Xiang took him to the study.

After seven years, the young man has reached the weak crown, he has done well, Yun Xiang is very pleased, but he dare not underestimate him.

He is no longer the villain who forced the emperor to grow up, he is now just a courtier, no matter why Li Ying came to him today, he can only listen attentively.

Li Ying didn't wear a dragon robe, but ordinary clothes. When he entered the door, he didn't sit in the main seat, but quietly sat in the lower seat.

Yun Xiang sat down with him, facing him, and said: "Your Majesty is here today, why?"

"That's the Queen's man just now?"

Yun Xiang didn't hide it, but he quickly explained: "The empress wants to inform the old minister to prepare a few good women and send them to the palace so that His Majesty can choose when to give birth to the dragon son."

"Does the teacher think this is appropriate?"

"This... is naturally inappropriate." Yun Xiang carefully chose his words, and said: "There are many concubines in the palace. Your Majesty can choose whoever you like, and you don't have to have a daughter from the Yun family. This move by the empress, Suspected of grabbing power."

He tried his best to describe Yun Qingci's fault objectively, his heart beating slightly.

Holding the teacup, Li Ying recalled Yun Xiang who came to kneel and beg for Yun Qing's resignation in his previous life.

He had just been awakened by Liu Ziru in his sleep, hurried out of the bedroom, and saw Yun Xiang kneeling in Jiangshan Hall with tears in his eyes.

It was the only time since he took the throne that Yun Xiang showed his true emotions in front of him.

He was wearing unlined clothes, and walked a few steps forward to support him. The cloak on his shoulders fell to the ground, but Yun Xiang shook his head: "The old minister made a mistake. Back then, the old minister taught His Majesty not to have personal relationships with children, but today, the old minister has to do it for you." That unfilial son... came to ask His Majesty to let him go back to the palace for the sake of his old bones."

That day, he was forced by Yun Qingci to have no choice.

So I had no choice but to go to him.

Li Ying stood up straight, and Liu Ziru picked up the fallen cloak, shook it, and put it on his shoulders again.

"You still know that you are an old bone." Li Ying looked at him for a while, smiled, and said: "I understand what the teacher means, get up first, if the root of the disease has fallen, what should I do?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being reckless this time." Maybe because he was afraid that he would think too much, Yun Xiang hurriedly kowtowed. The plain wooden hairpin is even more old-fashioned: "Old minister, really, there is no other way...that child, the old minister can't control him, I can't, just watch him die."

Without saying a word, Li Ying ordered someone to bring futons, put one beside Yun Xiang and one under him, and sat down quietly in front of him.

"Teacher, do you think that after being the emperor for seven years, I have become so hard-hearted that I can't even remember the most basic respect for teachers?"

Liu Ziru hurriedly helped Yun Xiang up, and sat together on the futon. Yun Xiang hesitated, faintly timid: "Your Majesty, old minister..."

"Since the teacher is here today as father-in-law, then I'm just another child of yours, and I have the right to talk with father and son today. Father doesn't need to be polite."

That night, they talked a lot, regardless of state affairs, only private affairs.

He didn't know what was going on in Yun Xiang's mind, but when he left, he seemed to be hit hard. Afterwards, when he saw him, he always lowered his head slightly, faintly timid.

Li Ying knew that it was because he felt that he had crossed the distance between the ruler and his subjects, and he couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.

He also knew that Yun Xiang didn't tell Yun Qingci about the heart-to-heart conversation that day, maybe because the other party was too domineering, and he was beating it on this, hoping that Yun Qingci could have more respect for the emperor and stop playing around in the palace all the time. temper.

They all knew it, but no one told Yun Qingci, because they all wanted him to restrain himself.

Perhaps, this link was also part of what forced Yun Qingci to commit suicide.

Why should he restrain himself? Yun Qingci is clear and not overbearing to the point of being unbearable. In the end, it was him who didn't tell him everything, because he also hoped that Yun Qingci could behave a little better and treat him as a Emperor, save him some face.

But he is clearly his husband, he is jealous, extreme, and extreme, all because he didn't give him enough sense of security.

In this life, no one forced Yun Xiang, so Li Ying's visit today was probably for nothing.

Yun Xiang has his own persistence as a courtier, behind him is an entire big family, and every word he speaks must be cautious.

There is still the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers between them, Yun Xiang is cautious and has no intention of heart-to-heart.

Li Ying sat for a while and said, "Teacher also thinks that I should have an heir?"

"Your Majesty has an heir, and this is what all the officials hope for." Yun Xiangdao: "The empress has grown up now, and is no longer an ignorant child who always loses her temper and begins to worry about it." Your Majesty thinks about it, this is also a good thing."

There are successors in the country, and all the officials hope together, and the queen also begins to think about him.

But no one cared what he thought.

Yun Qingci, who once devoted himself to him, has completely disappeared.

Every step he takes now is either stabbing him or plotting for the family.

Just a child, just, a child.

Li Ying stood up and said in a deep voice: "I hope that the teacher will enter the palace and persuade the queen well. I don't think it is possible to deal with children."

He stepped out of the study without looking back.

Yun Ping immediately prepared his horse and entered the palace. Yun Qingci had expected him to come, but he didn't expect him to come so soon.

He ordered someone to prepare tea, and when he walked out of the screen, Yun Xiang glared at him angrily.

Yun Qingci straightened his shoulders and said, "Father..."

"come here!"

Yun Qingci walked over slowly and sat down far away from him.

Yun Xiang blew on his beard and said, "Sit here."

Yun Qingci moaned and moved over, put his finger on the table, and was hit hard by Yun Xiang.

Yun Qingci hissed, cupped his hands and blew on his red fingertips, and said sullenly, "What is daddy doing?"

"Do you mean to dismiss the harem?"

"Of course not." Yun Qing said, "It was all done by him."

"Then let me ask you again, do you know that choosing a girl from the Yun family to enter the palace is a matter of power!"

"I've discussed this with him. He will think about it carefully. Let's prepare people first. When he needs it, he will naturally..."

"He has already come to the prime minister's mansion to warn him to be his father." Prime Minister Yun said angrily, "He doesn't want a daughter from the Yun family. This is a capital offense!"

"It's just a woman..." Yun Qingci muttered, "It's not that serious."

"Yun Qingci!"

He blew his beard and stared, Yun Qingci was full of displeasure, and said: "If you don't want it, then you don't want it, the big deal is to choose from a bunch of concubines. When the child comes down, go to the mother and keep the child."

"Nonsense!" Yun Xiang slapped the table, and Yun Qingci looked at him with wide eyes, only to hear him say in a deep voice: "If you want people not to know, unless you do nothing, paper can't cover fire! You must never do like this Despicable thing!"

"As long as you do it beautifully, don't leave behind..."

Under his father's increasingly solemn eyes, Yun Qingci gradually dared not speak much.

Yun Xiang said slowly: "If you do evil things, you will eventually be punished."

The Yun family had never been one to exercise power, nor did they bother to exercise power. Yun Qingci looked at him for a while, and suddenly felt that even if it was for the family in his previous life, his father would never really form a party for personal gain.

Later, it was found out that the Yun family really formed a clique for personal gain, either it was a false accusation, or it was just a trick.

He really wanted a child. If Li Ying really died one day, what would happen if he didn't have a child?

If the father thinks that leaving the mother and keeping the son is too despicable, then he can only cooperate with others, not Ning Rou, she is too ambitious, it is best to choose someone who can be controlled.

Yun Qing sent Yun Xiang away and looked at the date. Tomorrow is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. It is estimated that a group of concubines will be kicked out of the palace in the next year, so tomorrow will be the last day.

Yun Qing resigned: "Go and call Concubine Li here."

As the name suggests, Concubine Li is very beautiful, she is the daughter of Han Shangshu, and Han Shangshu and the Yun family have a very good relationship, if they can cooperate, it will be even better.

But even so, she was still a little afraid of Yun Qingci, and she shrank when she entered the door.

This kind of thing can't be all Yiyun Qingci's meaning, he ordered someone to prepare a fruit cake and hand it over, and asked her warmly: "Do you want to stay in the palace?"

As soon as she said this, as if she was about to drive her out, Concubine Li's expression changed, and she immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if I have done something wrong, I hope you will make it clear!"

"You are right about everything." Yun Qingci signaled the maid beside her to help her up, and said, "It's just that His Majesty is going to dismiss the harem, and let you go home and remarry."

His Majesty actually did this for Yun Qingci? !

Concubine Li was stunned, but she couldn't help being envious at the same time, and said with some precautions: "The empress means..."

"Although I have been domineering in the past, I can still distinguish the pros and cons from the pros and cons. If this matter happens, it will definitely arouse the anger of the public. At that time, your Majesty will have to deal with the spawning of the ministers. I am afraid that it will be very annoying."

Concubine Li immediately understood: "You want to stay as a concubine and stay alone in the palace?"

"If you want, in the future, you and I will serve the king together." Yun Qing resigned, "I revealed my truth to you in advance because your Han family and my Yun family have some friendship. You can go back and think about it slowly, but There is only one chance tomorrow night, His Majesty suppressed the imperial decree, just to let everyone have a good year, after tomorrow, all the decrees of dismissal will be issued, and only with His Majesty's blessing can they stay in the palace."

When Concubine Li walked out of Chaoyang Palace slowly, the sky was already dark, and the servant girl beside her whispered softly: "How can such a jealous person like the queen bring up such a thing? Is there any fraud in this matter?"

"He should be serious." Concubine Li said slowly: "If he continues as before, His Majesty dismissing the harem is exactly what he wants, and there is no need for him to make things difficult for me."

"He really wants to cooperate with me and keep me in the palace."

"What's the reason?"

"Maybe it's for His Majesty." Concubine Li sighed and said, "He is so hot-tempered that he can tolerate this matter. He really loves His Majesty deeply."

"Then, what about you, girl?"

Concubine Li was stunned for a moment, smiled faintly, and said: "I, if I can do something for my father, this life will be worth it."

"What about Your Majesty? You haven't seen him a few times, and you have no relationship with him..."

"It's just that he has no feelings for me." Concubine Li sighed, but suddenly stopped, holding her breath and looking forward.

The man came slowly, and Luan Jia followed silently behind him. His eyes fell on her, and then he gradually approached.

Concubine Li and all the servants immediately knelt down: "The concubine sees Your Majesty."

Li Ying looked at her seriously: "What is the Queen looking for you for?"

"Queen..." Concubine Li said in a nasty voice, "Your Majesty is going to dismiss the harem, and asked the concubine if she wants to stay in the palace."

She heard the sound of her five fingers being tightly squeezed, and she lowered her head subconsciously.

The man strode away, the wind from the robe blowing on her face made her shiver.

She knelt until Luanjia hurried away, and then she was supported by the servant girl to stand up with weak feet, and said with a white face: "He, is he, angry with the queen?"

The servant said: "The servant does not understand, the queen is all for him, why is he angry?"

Concubine Li thought for a while, and said, "It seems that I'm out of luck, hey."

Li Ying came to Chaoyang Palace.

Yun Qingci was watering the flowers in the warm room, and the small silver watering pot was held by that slender hand, making it look even more delicate.

The warm room was very hot, Li Ying stood at the door and looked at him expressionlessly.

Yun Qingci didn't stop moving, just glanced at him from the corner of his eye.

Neither of them spoke.

Li Ying walked in and stood motionless in front of him, still staring at him.

Yun Qingci continued to water the flowers as if nothing had happened. He turned a little farther away, and Li Ying followed a little, as if trying to make him feel guilty with his eyes.

Yun Qingci started to get annoyed.

He stepped on Li Ying's foot.

The man's face didn't change, he didn't even move, he was still looking at him.

"Why did you bring Concubine Li here?"

"Cooperate." Yun Qing said: "I promised her that in the future, the two of us will serve His Majesty together, and if there is a little prince or princess, we will take care of it together."

"How could there be a prince and princess?"

"Isn't it up to His Majesty?"

Li Ying grabbed his wrist, Yun Qingci was in pain, the pouring pot fell to the ground, and a stern look appeared between his brows.

Li Ying immediately relaxed his grip, still holding on to him, and said, "I tell you, I don't need a child, and you don't need to worry about whether there will be successors in Jiangshan."

"Then what if you die?"

Li Ying's pupils shrank, and his tone was angry: "You want me to die that much?!"

"I didn't say that." Yun Qing said: "But what if something happens to you? I can't have a baby..."

"Then I will give you all this country!"

Yun Qingci was taken aback for a moment.

Li Ying's eyes were flushed, and he said, "If you don't want to adopt elder brother's child, then you can take over. The Yun family is so powerful, if you want to gain power, wouldn't it be easy for you?"

Yun Qingci couldn't understand him more and more: "I didn't let you get close to the concubine before, and you went to drink in other people's palaces, but now I personally pick someone for you, but you don't want to, Li Ying, what are you planning? Can Tu not come with me?"

"Let me ask you, how many times have I gone to other people's palaces to drink?"

"...can't remember."

"Okay, then I'll tell you." Li Ying said, "One time it was Concubine Rong. She had a broken game of chess. After I went there, I asked for the chess game. I met you as soon as I left the palace. The time I stayed there Not even half an hour."

"There is also Concubine Qi, she got a treasured sword from nowhere, I went, and as soon as the front foot arrived, your back foot arrived."

"Concubine Ning, that day she asked me to drink in the palace. I admit that that time, I deliberately wanted to drink to relieve boredom...I admit all these mistakes."

"In the past two years, I have only been to these concubines less than five times. Every time I explain to you why I can't send someone there, why do I have to go in person, but since they have entered the palace, I should always Just pretending, if I stay with you all the time, all the officials will insult you every day..."

"So why are you wronged?" Yun Qingci interrupted him, he raised his face, seriously confused: "You only want me, they scold me, you don't want me, they still scold me... I'm the one The one who got scolded."

"You are wronged, you have recruited concubines one after another into the palace, the Sangong and the Sixth Courtyard, the blessing of all people, I run behind you every day, and watch you make the person who troubles me every day as a concubine, you Why are you wronged..." Yun Qingci said inexplicably: "If you were all for me before, I am also for you now."

"Yun Qingci..."

"Do you dare to say that you didn't ignore me intentionally, dare you say that you didn't intentionally make things difficult for me, dare you say that you didn't praise Concubine Ning to check and balance me?!"

"I'm here to make you restrain yourself...!"

"Then I'm restrained now." Yun Qingci said: "So why are you being wronged? Your Majesty has taken over the whole world's grievances. I deserve to lose my life and get nothing?"

He said maliciously: "Do you want me to follow behind you like before, and it would be best to die for you again?"

Li Ying took a step back, his forehead jumped wildly again, humming sharply.

Yun Qingci didn't let him go at all: "Don't pretend to be infatuated with me. If I hadn't been holding on tightly, your children would be running all over the floor now! Well, now that you're going to change your mind, I should fulfill it." Your so-called deep affection keeps you moving... It seems that all of this is your vow to me, which is always the same."

"Do I deserve to be called by you and go away immediately?!"

"Li Ying." Yun Qingci said word by word: "You are really disgusting."

Li Ying's face was as pale as frost.

He is different from Yun Qingci, he is not a person who can say anything.

But Yun Qingci can.

He is sharp, sharp, like a hedgehog, mercilessly attacking all enemies.

He looked at Yun Qingci with red eyes.

But Yun Qingci took another step closer. He stared at Li Ying and said, "I have been wronged for you all my life. Have I said anything?"

"It's just for you to give birth to a child, and you didn't give birth to it yourself. You have thought about this kind of thing many times, but just because you want to reform yourself, you have to lose your temper with me, as if I am the heinous That person... I am forcing you to be unfaithful."

"Don't you think you're selfish?" Yun Qingci said, "I can leave everything for you, but now I ask you to pay a little for me, and the child of your Li family is the one who gave birth to you, so you act like a loyal and loyal man." "What qualifications do you have?"

Li Ying supported his head, turned and stepped back, his breath was short of breath, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

Yun Qingci stood up straight and gave him a stingy look.

"Your Majesty is not feeling well, so go back first, and there is no rush to come back tomorrow."

He turned around, picked up the silver pot again, and poured water on the flowering branches.

Behind him, Li Ying's voice came softly: "I haven't, I haven't thought about it...never."

"Okay." Yun Qing resigned without turning his head and said: "Then you can give me a piece of evidence, how do you want to prove that you have never thought of having a child, and never thought of saying goodbye to the concubine."

"I……"

Li Ying's painful face and neck were covered with blue veins, he tried his best to hold his head, and said in a low voice, "I can't."

"I can't treat women..."

Yun Qingci stopped, and it took a long time before he turned around. Li Ying fell to the ground and panted heavily, holding his head in pain, his long hair was already messed up.

Yun Qingci looked at him for a while before saying, "I don't believe it."

"Unless His Majesty is willing, let the minister find a maid to try."

'click' -

There was a very soft crisp sound, accompanied by a muffled grunt.

Li Ying removed one of his wrist bones, the movement was very clean and neat, as if he had done it countless times.

Maybe it was the pain that eased his headache.

He finally raised his face.

Cold sweat rolled down the veins on his neck.

"A Ci..." He stared at his lover in front of him, his voice hoarse: "Don't be so cruel."

The author has something to say: Ci Zai: You deserve it.

Li Huang: You are right.
