Lei Yue Longmen

King Dun, who thought he had the chance to win, couldn't help but smile.Feeling relieved, she left the cave, and then Li Jingmei also left from another direction. The cloak she was wearing had been returned to King Dun, but the cup of mare's milk was still firmly in her hand.King Cheng came out from behind the rockery, his originally sincere and gentle eyes were covered with shame and resentment.Turn around and run quickly to the imperial concubine's palace.

Concubine Wen Gui collapsed in front of the coffin because of serving the Empress Dowager Yan for several months. The emperor allowed her to go back to the palace to rest, so she didn't have to stay in front of the coffin all the time.Although Concubine Wen Gui refused, she couldn't bear the physical strength, so she had to be helped back to the palace by someone.At this moment Concubine Wen was being served by someone to change her clothes, and was about to go to the Ling Palace again. King Cheng ran in with a white breath, ignoring that there was someone beside Concubine Mother, and knelt down with a plop, "Concubine Mother, I want to ask One thing about you, please don't hide it and answer me?!"

Concubine Wen Gui saw his expression? With tears in her eyes, as if she had suffered a big blow, she hurriedly retreated from the palace.Only the mother and child were left? Indoors.

"What's the matter, Nan'er?"

"Mother and concubine, am I? Is it the child of the emperor?"

He was very anxious and desperate to ask this question, as if he had? fully believed in the fact that he was not the prince.

Concubine Wen Gui's expression froze, and she said in a trembling voice, "Who told you?"

Looking at his mother's slightly panicked and concealed eyes, King Cheng's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

"Prince Dun and Princess Mei had a secret conversation in the stone cave, and my ministers passed by unintentionally to hear it. Concubine mother, this is not true, right? They are lying! Uncle is not my biological father, right?"

Concubine Wen Gui sat down on the seat, lightly supported the soft pillow next to her, and did not speak.

Cheng Wang Qixing came to her side and held her hand, "Concubine Mu, tell me quickly? Ah!"

Concubine Wen Gui hesitated for a long while, and then she said weakly: "Mother, I'm sorry!" Then she said nothing.

The blood in King Cheng's whole body seemed to be frozen, he sat on his heels suddenly, and muttered: "Is this...really?"

"For...why? Why?"

Concubine Wen Gui lowered her head and looked at her feet lazily, her face was full of pain.

King Dun couldn't bear the ecstasy in his heart. After returning to the mourning hall, he scanned for a week, looking for the shadow of King Cheng everywhere, but he didn't see it.Ask the palace man next to him: "Where is King Cheng?"

"Return to Your Highness, King Cheng came early in the morning, but left half an hour ago. He hasn't come back yet!"

"is it?"

When Li Pinghong entered the mourning hall, he also saw that King Cheng was not there, so he asked the same question.

"Father, the third younger brother went out just now, and he hasn't come back yet. My son went out to look for him."

Li Jingzhao really wanted to tell Li Pinghong the shocking inside story he just learned, but in order to maximize his own interests, he had no choice but to restrain himself desperately, his hands trembling with excitement.

Li Pinghong was surprised by Li Jingzhao's sudden enthusiasm for King Cheng.However, in his opinion, this was just a trivial matter, and he waved his hand and said, "Go! Go and come back!"

"Yes!"

Li Jingzhao inquired all the way after leaving the Ling Palace. When he arrived at the Concubine Wen Palace, he said to the gatekeeper, the palace man, "Is your prince in there? The emperor asked me to call him, and go pass it on quickly." The palace man heard Yan, hurried in to report.Li Jingzhao said "hey hey" twice, and was led slowly to the guest room to keep warm.

King Cheng panicked when he heard the news from the palace man: "Mother, concubine, what should I do? Will King Dun tell Father about this?"

"Don't panic!" Concubine Wen Gui also recovered from her stupefaction, first asked the palace servants, and learned that Li Jingzhao came from a different person.After thinking for a while, she comforted her: "Yi Niang thinks that he won't tell your father about this for the time being. Because he still wants to use your hands to remove the Eastern Palace, so that he can reap the benefits. You fall down and treat him now." It's not good. On the contrary, he will make wedding clothes for her. He won't be so stupid. Don't worry. The child Dun Wang grew up as a mother, and he has clearly calculated the pros and cons, so he will never let it go Such a good opportunity. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to you in the first place."

"But, even if he doesn't say it now, he will say it in the future! Then what should we do then?"

As long as King Cheng thinks of the day when his identity will be exposed?, cold sweat will break out down his spine.Losing his status as a prince was still light for him, but Li Pinghong's disappointment and anger made him unable to bear it.If he knew that he was not born by him, he would probably only hate him!It turned out that it was so easy to fall from heaven to hell.It was as if the pride and hard work of a lifetime had been smashed to pieces in an instant.

"Calm down first!" Concubine Wen Gui seemed to have regained her composure, and resolutely comforted him: "Say, he will definitely say something in the future, driven by desire, and no one can stop him. But will someone say it? Faith is another matter." It's the same thing! You listen to what my mother said, go and stabilize him first, and pretend that nothing happened, and you don't know anything. He wants to use you, so you let him use you, don't forget , Above him there is Dong Gong! He wants to use you to deal with Dong Gong, but you can also do the opposite.

Believe me? No? Is there any hurdle that you can't get over? Even if things happen in the future, Mom will protect you with all her might!As long as we, mother and child, live our lives in peace and have nothing to ask for, others won't really embarrass us. "

"Mother...but I?...I? Can't lie to my father...I? I'm not his son. If my father found out, how sad he would be...Mother concubine...son..." King Cheng's face Two sad and heartbroken tears hung down, "My son... I'm afraid that my father will be disappointed! I'm really afraid! Why? Why is this happening?"

He has never been so sad. The background he has always been proud of is fake, and the encouragement and favor of his father is also fake.Without that blood relationship, he is nothing and deserves nothing.

"Then you shouldn't be knocked down. You are one of the most proud and recognized children of your father. Mother knows how difficult it is for a prince whose mother and concubine are not favored and a bastard! Mother treats you The only hope is that you will be safe and sound. Your father's hope for you is also to become a prince of Taiping. Nan'er, you have nothing? You made a mistake, it was a mistake of your mother's mind back then."

King Cheng burst into tears, and suddenly thought of everything Wen had experienced, which was worse than what he had gone through.He squeezed her hand and asked, "Mother, you must have been very sad at that time!"

Concubine Wen Gui smiled with tears in her eyes, and wiped away the wet marks on his face, "Anyway? The sadness is over."

"That mother...do you regret it?"

Concubine Wen Gui's eyes turned red suddenly, and she slowly shook her head.If she could do it all over again, she thought, she would choose to end that little life early instead of forcing him to be born for the so-called interests of the Wen family and herself.

At that time she was still too young, didn't she? There was no way to love, and she couldn't let go of hate at all.However, it was not what he wanted to die.If it hadn't been for the domineering mother and son who repeatedly forced each other, trampled on her self-esteem, and provoked her deep-seated shame and hatred, if they had even a trace of guilt and remorse towards themselves.She will choose to keep that? Child, even if she dies forever.But they didn't? They didn't.

It is their nature to be selfish, and it is their inheritance to be mean and unkind.Even if the mother and son were pushed to high positions, what they did was still so contemptuous and contemptuous.

The poor old woman was ignorant all her life, bullied by her youngest son and abandoned by her elder son. She didn't understand why until she died.Seeing that her life was about to pass away, Concubine Wen Gui really wanted to sit down and have a good talk with her, looking back on the past, talking about right and wrong.However, obsessive people? They are obsessed until they die. Listen? Before she died, she was still thinking about letting her youngest son's "flesh and blood" ascend to the throne. Concubine Wen Gui suddenly felt sorry for her.Because of her pity, I think of my own pity.At that moment, she actually didn't hate it so much.She just felt so risky that she almost turned into a selfish person like her.

Perhaps it was because of the last bit of sympathy and compassion from a woman who has also experienced trauma. She finally persuaded her not to think about it any more. It was useless to think about it, because that little life had already ? Not anymore.The shock and anger aroused can be imagined.It's ridiculous, despite all the vows, she didn't die with that old woman.Maybe because it's not worth it.Maybe she has already died many times, but she doesn't want to die.Is it herself? She still can't let go, and she is backlashed by desire?

Seeing her dazed expression, King Cheng was a little worried, and shook her sleeve.Concubine Wen Gui came back to her senses and held Prince Cheng's cold and tearful face: "Get up, don't kneel on the ground cold."

"Yes!" Cheng Wangmo stood up from tears and stood in front of his mother.Concubine Wen Gui tidied up his clothes as usual, and said softly: "Mother will go out with you, don't be afraid, Mother will always be with you!"

"Ok!"

Concubine Wen Gui motioned to the palace servants to invite King Dun in.King Dun walked into the hall refreshed. He first met Concubine Wen Gui, and then greeted Li Jingnan with a smile: "Third Brother, can you let me? It's easy to find. Father asked about you in the Ling Palace. It turns out that you went to Wen Gui The concubine mother is here! Come, follow me? Go to see the father."

King Cheng glanced at Concubine Mu, who said gently, "Go, you guys go first, I? I'll be there later."

Two brothers? Out of the palace one after the other, King Dun suddenly looked at him playfully, "Oh, what's wrong with the third brother? Why are his eyes red? Are you still sad for the queen mother? If the emperor's grandmother Knowing that the third younger brother loves her so deeply? It will definitely be very comforting. This? Grandson really doesn’t hurt in vain, brother really envies you! I? Grandmother likes it."

If he had heard this before, King Cheng would only take it as a courtesy, and he didn't care about it afterwards.But listening to him now, every single word he said seemed to be accompanied by deep sarcasm and ridicule.Like in the cave? When he said "little bastard".So contemptuous, mocking, arrogant.It was as if his self-esteem had been trampled on in the mud, and he couldn't get it out again.

Did you see him? King Dun didn't think he was disobedient when he spoke.Seeing that there was no one around, he suddenly said mysteriously:

"Third brother, have you ever wondered why the father treated the emperor like that this time? He didn't even let her participate in the wake for the queen mother?"

"I don't know." King Dun tried his best to restrain his impatience, and responded without emotion.

"I? I think the third brother's chance has come."

"what chance?"

"We are brothers. I have something to say. I might as well say it directly. Since the year before last, my father has already had the intention of abolishing the reserve, and this year it has been completely made public. The empress dowager is not allowed to guard the spirit, even me. We all think it's too much, why did the father do this? I guess, this is a sign that the father intends to abolish the royal family. If the East Palace is abolished, according to the importance the father attaches to the third younger brother, the successor The prince's choice is the third brother. So I have a chance to talk about the third brother."

Li Jingnan sneered twice in his heart, thinking that what the concubine mother had expected was right, but this Prince Dun really had bad intentions.He seized his own advantage, thinking that he was sure of winning, so he wanted to persuade him to deal with Donggong, so as to reap the benefits.

Li Jingnan's eyes did not move, and he said seriously: "Second elder brother, be careful, does the emperor have any intentions to abolish the reserve? It is not something you and I can spy on. Besides, with the elder sister and the second elder brother here, the younger brother An dare Coveting the reserve position? Even if the father is dissatisfied with the emperor's sister, this reserve position is not my turn? In terms of merit and merit, the second brother should be the first."

Dun Wang looked indifferent, "What do we brothers share? Isn't it the same for each other? Whoever is the first is the same! My brother may as well tell you directly, as long as it is our brother, no matter who is the prince, my brother is willing." Abdicate and let the virtuous. The important thing is that the Li family must never fall into the hands of outsiders."

"Sister Huang is also surnamed Li, so she is not considered an outsider?"

"Sister Huang is indeed not an outsider? But what about Li Zhouxuan? After a hundred years, wouldn't Yu Ruijiang fall into the hands of the Tu family? The first prince had just died, and the father loved the house and the crow, and the old love for the first empress was unforgettable, so he put all his efforts on the empress dowager. Second, we were all too young at the time, and there was no way to make the eldest king the heir The method. Later, after the father recovered, he gradually understood the taste, and when he made his daughter his son as his heir, he would entrust the country to outsiders after all. In addition, the longing for the former empress gradually faded, and the emperor's sister would be better. He didn't like it anymore. So he thought of Lizi again. According to me, the reason why the ancestors made the family law was reasonable. The father didn't realize until recent years that the daughter is not passed on to the descendants after all. ?."

"But you and I? After all, it is passed down from the blood of Xiaozu, Yizong and other empresses. So what should we say?"

"Didn't you deliberately argue with me? That is in the case of no children. Who would pass on the son? To the daughter? Just hand over the family business to outsiders? If it were you, would you like it?" ?”

"Second brother said that, it's too unfair to sister Huang and the others."

"Isn't it me? It's not fair to them. It's just how things are in this world. It's their fault that they were reincarnated as women? Women? If you want to be fair, be reincarnated as men in your next life!"

King Cheng thought to himself: "Is it fair to be reincarnated as a man? Some people? Born with life like nothing, and some people? Born with imperial power and wealth. Who should I ask for reason? Go?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, King Dun thought that he agreed with his point of view, so he pressed his shoulder and said, "So, our ancestors were very sensible, otherwise they wouldn't have made that rule. But daughter? After all, the son is a little closer than the nephew. The ancestors can see through this point, so they set the second iron law of having a daughter? It works everywhere, even after? Hundreds of years, it still works."

King Cheng didn't respond again. Even he didn't believe in such words. Didn't he expect that King Dun, who was three years older than him, would still respect him as a standard.If the iron law really works so well, why does it take so much trouble to waste storage?Why didn't he take this iron law to question his father, saying that you should pass on the throne to me? Otherwise, he would violate the iron law and kill himself?He began to wonder if there is a real iron law in the world?Why did he go through so many things, and everything made him feel that twists and turns in the world are normal, but stability is extraordinary?He was a little confused.
