Raiders of the demon concubine who crossed

Mu Chenglan felt relieved like never before. He had deceived his father, and he would not save the fifth prince.When he said all this, he felt that the unbearable burden in his heart disappeared at once.

It turned out that what tortured him day and night all these years was his only conscience. He always thought that his conscience had been buried in the sea of ​​fire in Yongshou Palace along with the fifth prince.

"I'm sorry, Royal Father. My son has kept you a secret for so long."

Ever since he could remember, the queen mother kept telling him, I only have you in this palace, you must listen to what I say, and do my best...

This struggle is from sitting on the crown prince when I was a child, to being imprisoned as the crown prince later.He saw her using means with his own eyes until he also became her means.

She always said, everything I do is for you.

He knew, but why did he feel that he had less and less.

He has been sitting very hard in this prince position, always worried from time to time that his secrets will be revealed, He Huan has left him, sometimes he feels that he has nothing left, only this position is left, and sometimes he has even crazier thoughts. If he came out, let him lose this position as a punishment, it would be great to settle it once and for all.

Finally, he didn't have to worry anymore, and he didn't have to listen to his mother anymore.

"I've already said what I need to say, whether to kill or cut, or to be locked up like the third emperor's younger brother, I will listen to my father."

In the end, Mu Chenglan saluted calmly, even he himself was secretly amazed.

It turned out that what he secretly yearned for was this moment of confession.

The emperor originally wanted to scold Mu Chenglan, it should be said that no matter how much he scolded this evil son, he would not be able to relieve his hatred, but seeing the prince kneeling in front of him like this, he couldn't swear a single word.

This is his first son, he taught him how to deal with government affairs hand in hand, the son who had high hopes, no matter how disappointed he was, the son whose bones and tendons were broken...

He used to worry about everything about him, but he was never able to do what he did to King Duan, out of sight and out of mind.

After kicking the dragon case, the emperor's strength seemed to disappear all of a sudden, and he sat on the dragon chair with his head down and depressed, never feeling so powerless.

"Chenglan, sometimes I really wonder if I don't know how to teach my son, and I didn't teach you well..."

When Mu Chenglan realized it, tears fell uncontrollably on the ground, but before raising his head, he quickly wiped the water stains on the ground with his sleeve.

"No... Father, don't think so. If... I can turn around, I really want to be the kind of person Father wants me to be... But I really, can't change it."

If he could look back, he would sternly refuse when his mother threatened and lured him, he would tell Cheng Xun not to go to Yongshou Palace, he would treat Xu Linghan well, even if the other party hated him, he would not force him into the house, and he would not do anything to humiliate him Do not beat or scold wives and concubines, just be the prince and the eldest son that the father and the officials look forward to in peace.

But it was too late, he had committed all kinds of irreparable mistakes, and became a violent and cruel person, the evil had been rubbed into his bones, and he could never change it.

"...I think I can't afford to be a crown prince anymore, and I am ashamed of my father's instruction. I remember my father told me that if I make a mistake, I will be punished. Now I know that not all mistakes are wrong. can be forgiven..."

Why wait for his father to decree to abolish his crown prince, he is really tired, as if he has been living for this position all his life.

"well……"

The emperor was emotional, and shed tears sadly in front of the prince.

As a life-and-death king, he had seen too many plots and tricks and bloody killings, but this was the first time he felt such pain.The knife wielded by his most beloved son himself is thousands of times sharper than that held by his enemy.

No matter how the prince entered the palace, he was sent back.

Mu Chenglan came to Lanyuan alone, he was restless when he left, but he was completely relaxed after returning home.

"Get out, get out, the prince doesn't need you anymore!"

He curled his lips, gathered concubines and male favorites, and announced his decision in public.At first, the queen mother wanted him to share the rain and the dew, and not to be fooled by any woman. Until he snatched Hehuan back, Hehuan didn't want to see him, and ran away again and again. He tried to wear down Hehuan's pride, but he was the first to surrender in his heart. , I can only use the rain and dew as an excuse to see Acacia once a month.

He didn't recognize most of these concubines and male favourites, except for those who had been serving him for a long time.Eunuch Zhang beat his chest and groaned for him, he didn't care anymore, anyway, he would no longer be the prince after a while, and he didn't need to worry about the prince's decency.

At this time, he was crazy, yet extremely sober. The noisy voices gradually faded away, and he could even hear the sound of the wind, gently blowing through the books all over the room.

Mu Chenglan lay down on the couch where He Huan had slept, closed his eyes, and fell asleep so quickly before.

That night, he finally met the person he wanted to see. As they looked when they first met, one had a dark heart and the other had a frank smile.

"...Young Master Xu, you are here."

Mu Chenglan temporarily forgot about the blood stains outside the Jinhua Hall, and hugged the shining figure longingly.

The moment he was about to touch the other party, that figure turned into pieces of falling plum blossoms, which scattered all over the ground with an ethereal wind, but none of them fell on him.

The emperor hadn't figured out how to deal with the prince yet, and he was sad, but he still had to carry the heavy burden on his shoulders.The prince wanted to abolish the prince, but he had just abolished the queen not long ago, the timing was not right, he could no longer abolish the prince hastily, and the empress dowager could not hide any actions.

Taking advantage of the night, the emperor first went to Qingxin Garden, a place he thought he would never set foot in.

Li Sixian dismissed the nuns who were in charge of monitoring Jingying. Jingying had just been beaten by Jiang Guiren today, and the old injury on her knee was still not healed. Is the concubine here?"

Suddenly seeing someone coming to the place where she lived, she always thought it was the prince who finally remembered to visit her.

The emperor glanced over her dirty body and scarred fingers with his emotionless eyes, and then said, "I came here to ask you, why did you let the prince lie to me?"

Your majesty...you know everything...

Jing promised to rush to her head with blood all over her body, but instead of rushing to kowtow to the emperor to apologize, she stepped forward uncontrollably and grabbed the corner of the emperor's clothes: "You said you would not doubt Lan'er!"

"But the fact is, you and him together lied to me. The fire in Yongshou Palace was not accidental, but deliberate. You even deceived the fifth prince to Yongshou Palace. How long do you want to hide from me? Is it right for Cheng Lan?" not good enough?"

The emperor was furious and threw her away, he just wanted to know the reason, he couldn't bear to listen to her explanation before, why this woman was so vicious, instigated her son to deceive the emperor's father, and even murdered the other emperor's heirs.

"Hahaha... The emperor knows it all, and finally came to ask the concubine why? Hahaha..."

Jing promised with a smile, she forgot that she was deposed, and unknowingly used the title she used when she was still a queen.

"Because you are easy to store, it's all your fault!" Jing promised to raise her chin high, and she was full of pleasure when she condemned the emperor, "It was the Wanshou Festival that year, when you stayed drunk and stayed in Changchun Palace, Randomly chanting Prince Rui's name, you even dream about that bitch's son, and you dare to say that you are good to my Lan'er? It's all your own fault! I don't fight for Lan'er, so am I waiting for you to change the crown prince? !"

The emperor was stunned: "Did I read Prince Rui's name?"

how can that be? ?

Ah, he remembered, he often suppressed Prince Rui, he felt guilty towards Prince Rui at that time, so it was inevitable that he would...

But how could anyone listen to drunken words?

The emperor frowned: "At that time, I didn't have the heart to store easily."

"No, you're lying!" Jing promised excitedly, "It's not because Lan'er saved you, otherwise you would have established another prince, right!"

"To this day, there is no need for me to lie to you." The emperor revealed a fact, "When I chose to send Chengyuan to the battlefield, I told him that I wanted him to earn the throne by himself and not allow him to compete with the prince. I don’t even know who I am for?!”

"You lie, lie, don't try to lie to me!!"

Jing promised to be hysterical, yelling, and seemed to be fainting, and now she was told that the emperor had no desire to store easily, so what was the purpose of all she did?

No, everything she does is for the benefit of the prince, at least the prince understands her painstaking efforts!

Thinking of the crown prince, Jing promised to finally calm down, and said: "You dare to say that you didn't have the heart of easy storage in the past, and you don't have it now?"

The emperor stood up with a sneer, and only left her a sentence: "Whether I am easy to save or not, it will not be your turn to be the empress dowager."

Behind him, Jing promised to kowtow to him with a trace of determination, the emperor's heart was really shaken, the crown prince was her only hope, she did not regret her death, and she would never let her Lan'er lose the position of crown prince!

Li Sixian accompanied the emperor back to the Xuande Hall again. He was almost out of breath that day. The emperor must have suffered more than him. He is the emperor's confidant. It can be said that he spent many crucial moments with the emperor. I have never seen the emperor so sad, although the emperor would never reveal a word to a slave like him.

Li Sixian boldly said: "Your Majesty, please forgive this old slave's arrogance. Do you want to go to Yikun Palace to relax? The imperial concubine is about to give birth. The emperor used to pass every day."

Li Sixian didn't dare to be the emperor's master, but sincerely hoped that the emperor would cheer up as soon as possible. When the empress was abolished a while ago, the emperor was also in a bad mood, and he was thinking about going to Yikun Palace. After going there, he felt much better.

Li Sixian naturally wondered if it was time to go to Yikun Palace.

"To shut up."

But the emperor glared at him, what happened to the imperial concubine?

After the truth of the prince's rescue came to light, he already felt that he was not very good, so he held his breath, and after sending the prince away, he came to Qingxinyuan to question Jing and agreed.Although he didn't show it on the surface, Jingyue's frantic yelling made him feel that his internal organs were burning, and he could no longer deceive himself and say that he was just angry.

"Li Sixian, Imperial Physician Xuan..."

The emperor couldn't bear it any longer, and leaned on Mr. Li.

The emperor is ill and needs rest.

The empress dowager only knew that the emperor fell ill after summoning the prince urgently, so she hurried to visit the emperor, and called all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital to interrogate her carefully. This was out of rage, and it is estimated that the prince made another mistake, which made the emperor angry.

The emperor's face was tired, and he kept silent about what happened that day. Director Li and the hidden guard knew about it, but they would not reveal a word without the emperor's order.The empress dowager had no choice but to send someone to invite the prince.

Mu Chenglan didn't care, he said it outright, even if the Empress Dowager was a woman, she wanted to step up and kick Mu Chenglan.What did this man and Jing promise do to compete for favor? The fifth prince did not enter the Yongshou Palace by mistake and was killed by Jing promise on a temporary basis, but was deceived from the beginning to the end. There is also the case of Mu Chenglan. For Gu Zhen, the empress dowager only has a deep sense of powerlessness. She never thought that this person is so vicious and dares to plot against the royal family, even involving Gu Zhen. The Gu family took it out?

The empress dowager personally pleaded for the Gu family in front of the emperor. Gu Zhen and the crown prince committed no small crimes. If she still pleaded, she might hurt the emperor's heart. a way out.

The emperor persuaded the empress dowager a few words, and after a few days of rest, he sent all the evidence found by the secret guards to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He completely disliked Gu Zhen, and without even seeing him, he sentenced Gu Zhen to be exiled. Someone has already been elected to take the post of interim minister, which will not affect the operation of the Ministry of Rites.The prince was detained in the prince's mansion, and he was not allowed to go out without purpose. At the same time, he gave the concubine of Hui'an Hou Gu Yan as the prince's wife, but he did not have the title of prince concubine.

The concubine had already been recorded under Mrs. Gu's name, so she was regarded as a concubine, but she was directly beaten back to her original form by an imperial decree. She married the prince but was not given the title of concubine concubine. The Ministry of Rites did not even prepare a simple wedding. The government directly sent people to the prince's residence, anyway, it's not that the Hou's residence of Hui'an has never done such a thing.

As for Jingyue, who was still lingering after being demoted all the way, both the emperor and the empress dowager expressed that they did not want to see this person again, and put him in the cold palace.
