prince's concubine

Capital

Looking at the old locust tree outside the window, the emperor seemed to see two half-grown children playing hide-and-seek underneath, and the brilliant laughter seemed to still be echoing in his ears.

Hearing the movement behind him, the emperor slowly withdrew his thoughts.

"Are you there?" Turning around, the emperor asked lightly.

"Here we are." Liu Quande, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, paused for a moment, and said again, "I heard that the prince's body is going to be destroyed."

"Really?" Eyes flashed quickly, as if thinking of something, the corners of his lips were tightened again in an instant, the emperor raised his eyes expressionlessly, and closed them again.This is what he asked for, so you can't blame him.Since you want to take this road of no return, you must have the ability to bear it!

"Since he is determined to go his own way, I can't stop him, and I can't help him!" After the emperor finished speaking, his eyes were tightly closed, and a tear slipped down quietly, and fell on the emperor's dragon robe with a "click", and quickly spread, disappear...

Upon hearing this, Liu Quande fell silent.He has been watching the past of the emperor and Prince Rui, the love of the emperor for the emperor, the reliance and trust of the emperor for the prince Rui, the originally deep and deep brotherhood, but because of a doctor named Zhong Min the enemy.As a servant, he has no right to interfere with his master's affairs, but he really doesn't like this Zhong Min who destroys the relationship between the emperor and the prince. If there is no such person, the Southern Kingdom will be stronger under the rule of the emperor and the prince. Unlike now, when the country has internal and external troubles and the emperor's foundation is unstable, the brothers turn against each other.The prince was sent to the bitter cold place in the far west by the enraged emperor with his injuries all over his body, and his life and death were unpredictable.

There was a depressive atmosphere in the air, Liu Quande couldn't help but quietly raised his eyes to look at the emperor. In fact, the emperor was very painful because of the matter of the prince, but the emperor kept suppressing this emotion in his heart.Liu Quande felt sorry for the emperor. The queen mother in the palace didn't care about anything except power. If the emperor hadn't been protected by the prince, I'm afraid... Sigh!

"Have you not found Zhong Min's whereabouts yet?" After a moment of silence, the emperor wiped the corners of his eyes, opened them and asked.

"Not yet," Liu Quande replied cautiously.By the way, this Zhong Min is too weird, he walked away without leaving a trace, as if he disappeared out of thin air in this world, and the person they sent to look for him was not found at all.

The emperor frowned, tapped his fingers on the table regularly, and the corner of his mouth curled up with a deep and strange arc, "Could it really disappear?"

"This..." Liu Quande didn't know what to say, disappeared?A living person can't see the dead or the dead, and if he says he's not there, he's gone. It's weird no matter what.

"I heard that he is not the true heir of the Zhong family. Could it be that he has absconded and gone elsewhere?" Liu Quande thought for a while and guessed.

"Elsewhere?" The emperor glanced at Liu Quande coldly, "You mean he might have gone to his mother's house for a hundred miles?"

That's the person that the Li family has hated for generations!The enmity between the two families can no longer be explained clearly in a few words. In the final analysis, it is actually the enmity between the two families.This is also an important reason why the emperor firmly opposed Li Rui and Zhong Min's being together. The death of Li Rui's mother was also directly related to the Baili family.

The ancestors of the Baili family and the ancestors of the Li family were good brothers, and the Li family also married the younger sister of the Baili family as his wife. The two conquered the country together and agreed to divide the world equally. The two had disagreements, and in the end the Li family won, and the Baili family withdrew from the capital, and became a vassal king in the remote southern Xinjiang. In order to protect the Baili family, the Li family decreed to marry the daughter of the Baili family, This was originally a good thing that could ease the rigid relationship between the two families. Unexpectedly, the married daughter of Baili's family died for unknown reasons within a month of her marriage. The Li family was so angry that they almost caused an explosion.Fortunately, the Li family made an order to take care of her in time, and married the princess and the Baili family. Even so, the hatred between the two families was inseparable.

There is still a sense of brotherhood between the ancestors, but in the next generation, the love will naturally fade away. Although the Baili family only became princes and kings, they also hold an army of hundreds of thousands. Although the Li family has become the emperor, It is also impossible to seize the military power of the Baili family immediately, and there is such an intricate kind of love between the two families.

Although the Baili family was defeated, the descendants of the descendants are also quite uneasy. They always want to overthrow the Li family and become king themselves, and the Li family naturally regards Baili as a serious worry.Over the years, everyone has continued to have marriages on the bright side to maintain the peace on the surface, but they are all working hard in the dark, secretly competing with each other to guard against each other.It's a pity that the Baili family is not united. Some people just want to be a remote vassal king in peace.Zhong Min's grandfather was a radical, and he was very worried about the fact that his ancestor was deceived by the Li family. Although his daughter was named princess, he still did not change his hatred for the Li family.

Because Li Rui's mother was favored by the emperor, the Empress Dowager, a woman with a third of the family's blood, wished she could get rid of it quickly, so she joined hands with Grandpa Zhong Min and the gang of radicals to kill Li Rui's mother. The emperor mourned greatly, and the queen mother took the opportunity to take power, but she failed to fulfill her promise to the Baili family. Instead, she secretly assassinated the Baili family and put everything on Li Rui.Grandpa Zhong Min was killed by the hidden guards arranged by the Empress Dowager at Baili's house before he could resist.

Zhong Min’s parents encountered such a thing just half a year after they got married. They were separated from family members while fleeing, and managed to escape to a safe place under the protection of Chu Yan and Liao Quan. Furious, Chu Yan went out to look for a doctor. While Liao Quan was resting with Zhong Min's mother, he was suddenly attacked. Zhong's father was unfortunately killed to protect Zhong Min's mother. The master rescued him, and became the concubine of Master Zhong in order to protect the child in his womb, and attached the several 10 taels of silver notes he brought with him.

These were all found out by the emperor later, and of course the queen mother also told them.When the queen mother saw Zhong Min for the first time in the palace that day, the queen mother felt that he looked familiar and didn't pay much attention to it. It was not until the emperor went to visit her in Lenggong and accidentally mentioned Zhong Min that the queen mother suddenly remembered that Zhong Min should be Baili. A descendant of the family, because he looks so much like her mother!

The emperor was also shocked when he learned everything. He didn't know if Zhong Min knew about his life experience, and whether he had a purpose in approaching Li Rui, but he didn't dare to take risks.He didn't understand why Li Rui plunged into it after knowing Zhong Min's real life experience?Isn't he afraid that Zhong Min will take the opportunity to take revenge after knowing his life experience?Even the emperor suspected that Zhong Min's quiet departure was just a trick of refusal and welcome!

"That must be his hometown." Liu Quande said.

The emperor snorted coldly and shook his head, "If he really went, Baili's house would not be so peaceful. What about Zhong's house?"

"Zhong Huaiyu never admits that she knows Zhong Min's identity, but only said that when she met his mother on the road, she saw her pity and brought her home. As a result, Zhong Min didn't think about the kindness of nurturing, and instead made his wife and children miserable. He said he had severed his father-son relationship with Zhong Min." Liu Quande replied.

"He pushed it cleanly!" The emperor twitched the corner of his mouth in disdain, "It's no good for Zhong Huaiyu to take people into his house? Hmph!"

"...Your Majesty, does this person still want to ask?" After examining the situation, Liu Quande asked again.It's really that Zhong Huaiyu's wife is too flattering!

"Forget it," the emperor tapped the table again with his fingers, his eyes darkened, "I believe I will soon know where Zhong Min is."

Liu Quande raised his eyes in doubt, lowered his eyes again, stood aside honestly and didn't speak out again.He sees the emperor's means and scheming too clearly, so he naturally knows what to say

In Orange Town, Zhong Min is discussing with Chu Yan about whether to stay or not.

"Uncle Chu, I want to wait for Kaichun to follow the prince to his fief," Zhong Min said with some difficulty. Although he has no affection for Baili, his mother's family, but he possesses this body, it is impossible to ignore Baili. The intricate love and hatred between the Li family and the Li family.He could ignore or ignore it, but he had to take Chu Yan's feelings into consideration. He had to make it clear to Chu Yan about the important matter of following Li Rui to the fiefdom.

"Master," Chu Yan looked at him, "This old slave can't stop the young master's decision, but the old slave doesn't want to see the young master go all the way to the dark side. The prince is not someone the young master can entrust to him!"

Zhong Min smiled, lowered his eyes, and looked straight into Chu Yan's eyes, "I know that the matter between me and the prince is a bit shocking, but since I have chosen this path, I believe he will not betray me!"

"Master!" Chu Yan called out in disapproval.

"I believe him!" Zhong Min smiled and said seriously, "I know that there may be unresolvable conflicts between me and him, but emotional matters cannot be changed just by saying. Since we love each other now, we I should give each other a chance. I don’t want to give up without even trying. When I get old, I think of a relationship and regret it. Uncle Chu, I also hope that you can give us a chance and give yourself a chance. Hate someone It was actually very hard and tiring.”

Chu Yan watched him without speaking for a long time, and finally left in silence.

Zhong Min sighed softly, and also knew that Chu Yan should be given time to think clearly, after all, for Chu Yan, the fact that Zhong Min and Li Rui were together was too heavy a blow to him.

"Don't worry, I'll treat you well!" Li Rui came out from the inside at some point, hugged Zhong Min from behind, rubbed his chin against Zhong Min, and his deep magnetic voice was reassuring.

"Well, I'll be nice to you too." Zhong Min also rubbed against Li Rui, feeling at ease and peaceful in his heart like never before.

Li Rui's body is almost in shape, and if he doesn't go to the fiefdom, he may leak something.

"When are you going to leave?" Zhong Min asked softly after a while.He could feel Li Rui's anxiety.

"Let's talk about it after you've dealt with it." Li Rui thought for a while and said.

"Uncle Chu may still find it difficult to accept our being together," Zhong Min frowned slightly, "If he really can't accept it, I plan to let him stay here temporarily, and you can't delay the matter of going to the fief. "

Knowing that the emperor didn't intend to drive Li Rui to extinction, but only sent down his fiefdom, Zhong Min was still greatly relieved, as long as he survived, it would be fine.Although there was still family hatred between him and Li Rui, what did it have to do with him at that time, the hatred between his elders could not be borne by him, he only loved Li Rui, and had nothing to do with his family .

"Amin," Li Rui hugged the person in his arms tighter and tighter, "Thank you!"

This "thank you" is a sincere thought from the heart. He is really grateful to Zhong Min for his unconditional trust and devotion to him. Because of Zhong Min, it is the first time for Li Rui to feel that his life can be so happy and happy. !How lucky he was to meet Zhong Min and marry him!At this moment, he was actually very grateful, fortunately, Zhong's mother let Zhong Min marry into the palace instead, which made him lucky to meet the most important person in his life!
