It's hard to be a son-in-law

Ruo Da's palace seemed lifeless, within a few days, the emperor indeed issued an order to revise the calendar, and all male prisoners who committed crimes were castrated as punishment.And those things that were forcibly castrated were ordered to be secretly sent to the palace one after another, so that Concubine Mei Gui could be used by the emperor for alchemy.

Such perverted and cruel methods really made Ouyang Tianjiao feel shuddering.It seems that someone should understand all this.

I looked up and saw a few crows flying over my head, and felt that there seemed to be more and more crows in the palace, which made the originally depressing and gloomy palace walls more eerie and terrifying. Not a place for ordinary people to stay.

……

She vaguely remembered that when she first came to this palace a year ago, she was depressed and unhappy, but she came here with no worries. Now, it seems that it is time to leave, but she has a lot more worries A person who is unwilling to give up, an empty flesh and blood, as if someone has taken away his soul and hollowed out his heart, ignorant and insensitive, empty like a walking dead.

Imagine if there is no princess to stay with me, then what is the meaning of the rest of my incomplete life?Ouyang Tianjiao couldn't help laughing at herself. For a while, life and death were ignored, so she might as well put aside all these things to sacrifice her life for the common people in the world, and finally do one thing for the princess. Thinking about it, just like the empress said, the princess definitely didn't want to see it either. To the point where his father was depraved and cruel to the point of cannibalism.

……

It's just that if the prince Luo Lie sits in the country of the Celestial Dynasty, would it be different?But at this critical juncture in which human life is at stake, and in order to prevent more innocent people from suffering this catastrophe, we can only take one step forward.

……

When I looked up, I saw the demon concubine Wang Meier coming out of the emperor's bedroom. This stranger, who was once thought to be a beautiful sister who was pure like a moon god, now looks like a ghost, with vicious and perverted methods. This bloodthirsty devil makes people shudder.

……

This familiar face made Ouyang Tianjiao fluctuate slightly, it seemed that there was still a trace of unbearable in his heart, should we give her one last chance?

……

At this moment, Concubine Mei Gui also saw Ouyang Tianjiao who was coming to take the emperor's pulse, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, she raised her hand and ordered the escorting maids and eunuchs behind her to stop, and she smiled charmingly at Ouyang Tianjiao where come.

Ouyang Tianjiao frowned as she looked at the lawless concubine who was hated by the world, but she didn't know what was going on in this woman's heart, and what good would it do her?

……

Concubine Mei slowly walked up to Ouyang Tianjiao, her pair of soft and charming phoenix eyes half-smiled and looked at the handsome man in purple robe court clothes, and she first asked caringly: "Is the son-in-law right?" Have you been restless lately? Oh, look at the dark circles under your eyes, it's pitiful."

Ouyang Tianjiao stared at Concubine Mei's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and replied coldly: "Thinking, the person who is restless may not be a minister. There are more and more people complaining about their body in this world. Presumably the person who can't sleep should be the imperial concubine."

"Heh, is this palace worth it for a few men in this area?" Concubine Mei had no remorse or compassion on her face, but she snorted and said, "Ouyang Tianjiao, I won't expose your identity." , I am already thinking of you and my one-night stand, it is very good for you, don't meddle in this palace's affairs, my son-in-law, otherwise don't blame this palace for being rude to you."

"Mei Guifei, what else do you want to do? This is not what the pure and innocent beauty sister I know who is swinging on the swing can do it. Do you really think so so that the world can be fulfilled?" The name of the demon concubine?" Ouyang Tianjiao tried her best to lower her angry voice, and asked aggressively with grief.

"So what?" Concubine Mei raised her eyebrows and said with a bewitching smile: "My son-in-law is still too tender, after you have experienced the misery of the world, you will understand that some things are not as perfect as they appear on the surface." Ran, heh, Ouyang Tianjiao, in fact, you are just a pawn in my hand."

"What's the meaning of your mother's words?" Ouyang Tianjiao frowned and asked, could it be that her acquaintance with him was all calculated?What's the use value for her if you don't understand yourself?

"Hehe, I have spent a lot of effort to educate you. Do you still remember the fine wine that Ye Ji made you enjoy the two beauties?"

"Wine?" Ouyang Tianjiao suddenly felt like a dream, and he couldn't help but slowly clenched his hands in his sleeves.

"It contains the Acacia San that I have carefully prepared for you. It can make people feel emotional and invisible, and it is hard to control, but it is a colorless and tasteless aphrodisiac. Hahaha, you have to thank me for letting you have two. Accompanied by a beautiful woman..."

"He, Hehuansan? It turned out to be you..." Ouyang Tianjiao's head was suddenly swollen with anger and blood. She never expected that it was the demon concubine who gave them the Hehuansan that day, causing the princess to turn against her. Worry, the husband and wife were not compatible, Ouyang Tianjiao became more and more annoyed when she thought about it, she reached out and grabbed Concubine Mei Gui's arm, and asked angrily, "Why did you do this?"

"You have your own reasons, you will understand in the future." Concubine Mei also threw off Ouyang Tianjiao's restraint angrily, turned around with a seductive smile and wanted to leave.

Ouyang Tianjiao took a deep breath, and suddenly said with a deep smile: "Your Majesty, don't be overjoyed too early, thinking that the chess game is not settled, and the whole game may be lost with a single step..." After speaking, he started to make big strides Zhan Bu, who bypassed Concubine Mei Gui who was standing there, walked over first.

……

Concubine Mei's eyebrows frowned even deeper, not knowing what the son-in-law meant.Could it be that she was too angry with herself, and suddenly there was a faint feeling of uneasiness in her heart, but it just passed by, and she was not afraid at all. Thinking about it, she had nothing to fear from losing, so she simply followed suit. In this dark place, so what if the sky changes.

……

Regarding Ouyang Tianjiao, a chess piece that seemed to be half-falling in her hands, Concubine Mei really hesitated.It is undeniable that this handsome and free-spirited woman whom she once admired with all her heart did make her feel a little guilty and reluctant.

But every time she saw the cruel and indifferent person who deeply hurt her heart, the endless pain could cover everything with a black shadow.

"Don't blame me, who told you that you are the princess' son-in-law..."

……

****************

In the emperor's bedroom, Ouyang Tianjiao quietly checked the old emperor's pulse as usual, and gave the food supplements and prescriptions to the housekeepers and palace staff who were serving beside him, and ordered them to prepare the emperor's daily diet according to the prescriptions. and care methods.

The old emperor coughed twice, opened his eyes and said weakly: "I'm fine, don't mobilize the crowd, and feed me the longevity pill refined by Concubine Mei Gui."

"Yes..." The steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs quickly responded, took a pill bottle placed on the bedside, and was about to deliver it to the emperor. Ouyang Tianjiao stood up and reached out to take it, Shen Yu said: "Let me bring it on."

"Thank you son-in-law." The steward agreed, and handed it to the son-in-law, took two steps back, and waited on him.

Ouyang Tianjiao nodded, turned around and opened the elixir bottle, poured out a golden elixir in his hand, and presented it to the emperor with both hands.

Seeing the golden pill, the old emperor reached out to take it hastily, and ate it without waiting for a fine product. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the son-in-law in front of him. You have to treat the third princess well, I can see that she really likes you."

"Yes, I must obey what my father said, and cherish the three princesses..." Ouyang Tianjiao lowered her head and capped the pill bottle in her hand, and put it back into the emperor's hand. With tears in her eyes, she slowly backed away After taking a step, he didn't dare to look at the skinny and pitiful old emperor again.

"Father, rest now, my son will leave..."

"Well, let's all go down, I'm going to sleep for a while." The old emperor nodded very tiredly, slowly leaned on the dragon bed, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

……

The steward of the House of Internal Affairs also walked out of the house with the son-in-law, and asked the son-in-law worriedly: "Master son-in-law, what do you think about the emperor's condition?"

Ouyang Tianjiao sighed, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's heart rate is rapid, the internal organs, heart, brain and nerves are all damaged and corrupted, and the body is aging rapidly, I'm afraid..."

Hearing this, the steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs shook his head and sighed, he understood it, and guessed that it must have something to do with the elixir.

……

After Ouyang Tianjiao walked out of the palace gate, she lowered her head and looked at the palm of her hand. When she saw the Changsheng Pill in her hand, she took a deep breath, slowly clenched her fists again, and urged it with her internal force. , and already turned the golden pill in his hand into ashes.

……

I hope that all this can be calmed down by the departure of the old emperor, and the original calm will be restored.

Ouyang Tianjiao felt a faint sense of guilt in her heart, which seemed to make her unable to face the three princesses even more.

……

"I'm sorry, Rong'er..."

******************

The sound of the zither fluttered, sung from Concubine Demei's bedroom...

After the piano case, Fairy Ziyan lowered her eyes and stroked the song, humming a piece of "Songs of Besieged on All Sides", playing the piece for the imperial concubine who was drinking.

The frightened and mournful melody that sounded like weeping and crying could not help but make the hearts of those who heard it full of sorrow.

Concubine Mei raised her glass of wine, raised her head and drank it in a sip. Listening to this unpleasant song, she couldn't help frowning slightly, and suddenly slapped the table and said: "I don't want to listen to this sad tune, change... ..."
