Reborn as King again

The change of the queen mother is not ordinary, she really has a heart of compassion, she actually pities He Wenliu and asks me to treat him well?If it was the past, she wouldn't care about that, even if He Wenliu knelt to death at the gate of the Compassionate Ning Palace, she probably wouldn't even blink her eyes.

"My son knows what to do." As I said that, I stood up, and there were still a bunch of memorials waiting for my review.

At this moment, the small inner prisoner who was guarding the door came in and greeted An and said: "Your Majesty, the prefect of Yangcheng sent someone to send an urgent message for [-] miles, saying that there is something important to report."

"What's the matter?" I was taken aback, Yang Cheng?There is a city bordering on the country that has been destroyed. Ran country has been destroyed, and the people I sent took it over smoothly, so what's the rush?

"Slave... I don't know." The little eunuch replied: "The other party seems very anxious, and said that he must wait until he sees the emperor before he can tell."

"Let him wait for me in the imperial study."

"Let him come in, the Ai family also wants to hear what happened." The queen mother said.

After about half a stick of incense, a man in military uniform walked into the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and immediately greeted us sincerely after entering.Looking at him like that, it seems that something big has happened.

"What about the rush?" I asked.

The man quickly offered it with both hands, and Wanfu went down to take it, and handed it to me.The urgent mail was sealed with wax oil. I opened it and took out the letter inside. I was really surprised by the contents on it. This is impossible!What a coincidence!

I asked the man, "Are you sure?!"

"I'm sure, my slave. Please...Please express my condolences to the emperor." The man kowtowed vigorously as he spoke.

"Emperor? What's the matter?" The queen mother was confused by the situation.

"Ji'er is dead." I told him the contents of the letter directly.

"What?" The queen mother thought she had heard it wrong, "How could it be? He...he has only been away for a few days now? He...hasn't arrived in Yuncheng yet."

I handed the letter to my mother and asked her to read the contents of the letter by herself.Li Ji and his party have been rushing towards Yuncheng step by step. When they passed by Yangcheng, they encountered a group of bandits. Those bandits were rebels left over from the destruction of the country. They rob passers-by every three days.

Li Ji is the body of a sinner, so there will not be too much ostentation and protection of the accompanying personnel. At the time of chaos, the guards escorting Li Ji let Li Ji run first, and then the surviving guards broke through the siege and went to the prefect of Yangcheng to rescue soldiers. .Although Li Ji was exiled, he was still the prince no matter what, the Yangcheng prefect immediately dispatched all troops to search for Li Ji's whereabouts.

It was not until three days later that Li Ji's body was found by the river. It is estimated that he fell into the water and died while fleeing for his life.

I don't really believe the content of the letter. Li Ji has always been cautious in doing things, how could he slip into the water?This is too much of a coincidence, even if Li Ji doesn't want to go to Yuncheng, what good will it do him to get away like this?He can't go back to the capital, and he doesn't even have the status of the only prince who can guarantee his safety. How can a seven-year-old child survive? !

"Are you sure the corpse you found is Ji'er?" I reconfirmed.

"My servant is sure that although the body was swollen with water, but judging from the clothes and belongings, it is indeed His Highness the Sixth Prince." The man explained: "As soon as the prefect got the news, he immediately sent people to search for His Highness Sixth Prince like a carpet. , but the terrain on the outskirts of Yangcheng is dangerous, otherwise there would be no bandits, so the search took a long time, and when we found His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, he had already died by the river."

After hearing what the man said, I understood, and then asked: "Who else knows about this?"

"Back to the emperor, the prefect has been suppressing this matter, and wants the servant to report to the emperor first." The man replied.

"Ji'er is paying for Qi'er's life." The queen mother sighed unceasingly when she heard this, "It's just a pain for Concubine Wen, I wonder if he can accept this blow."

Of course he couldn't accept it, so I didn't intend to make it public. I said to the man: "Very well, remember, you didn't find the body of the sixth prince. The sixth prince is still alive and well. Yangcheng is heading to Yuncheng."

"Prince! You... What are you trying to do?!" The queen mother looked at me in surprise, she didn't expect me to do this, "You want to hide it? How can you hide it?"

"That's not easy." I said casually, "Just find a child to replace it. How do people in Yuncheng know Ji'er's appearance?"

"Emperor! Do you know what you're talking about?!" The queen mother's voice was a bit sharp, she couldn't believe it, as if she was looking at a stranger, "Ji'er is dead! You actually..."

"I know he's dead, I have my own plan for doing this, and I ask the queen mother not to ask." I interrupted the queen mother, since Li Ji is dead, it would be useful to let him die, I want to use Li Ji's Death, breaking the situation of the four families that are intertwined and balanced.

"Huang'er, the Ai family knows that you love Qi'er, but Ji'er is also your child, and the deceased is already dead. You are trying to obliterate his existence." The queen mother wanted to dissuade me from this decision, "And... and You can't hide it at all, don't forget that Ji'er's second uncle He Wenwu is still stationed near Yuncheng, he will see Ji'er sooner or later."

"Then let him meet," I said indifferently: "He Wenwu has never met Ji'er, and Ji'er is exiled, even if it is to avoid suspicion, it is impossible for the two of them to have more contact, even if they say a word more We have to weigh it, he can't see any clues."

The queen mother no longer cares about the affairs of the harem and the court, so even if she knew about it, she would not intervene.Seeing that she couldn't convince me at all, the queen mother sighed in disappointment, and asked me to please leave, and go to the small Buddhist hall in the side hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace to chant scriptures alone, probably to save Li Ji, and hope that he will reach bliss sooner.

When I walked out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, I ran into He Wenliu who had just woken up. He was paler than when he saw me yesterday.When he saw me coming out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, he didn't greet me, but just stood there in a daze.

On the contrary, the little green son who had been with him all the time was crying. When he saw me, he quickly knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, your majesty is here. Please persuade Concubine Wen, he... Kneel, ma'am, ma'am, his body can't bear it at all."

Li Ji was dead, and He Wenliu was still thinking about what to do in Yuncheng, so I pulled He Wenliu's slender wrist and walked towards the imperial chariot, "Concubine Wen, don't waste your energy, go back to Qingluan Palace."

"No...don't, I want to accompany Ji'er," He Wenliu's voice was a little hoarse, let alone eating, he probably didn't even drink his saliva, "Let go... let go... let go!"

He Wenliu is struggling to get rid of my imprisonment, but his strength is not enough at all, so I can be so patient and talk to him when facing He Wenliu. If it were someone else, he would have been punished for the following crime up.

The inner eunuchs guarding the imperial chariot all lowered their heads as if they hadn't seen it, and He Wenliu was just dragged onto the imperial chariot by me.

"Concubine Wen, be honest!" I pulled him closer and warned, "My patience is limited, if you keep making trouble like this, you won't even be able to see Yun'er."

"You..." He Wenliu's whole body froze, the tears in his eyes kept falling, he pursed his lips, and it took a long time before he said faintly, "What did I do wrong, you ...How could you treat me like this..."

I raised my hand and stroked He Wenliu's three-thousand blue hair on his back, supported his head on my shoulder, and wiped away his tears, "You promised me, you will never leave me, Can't break my promise."
