Chapter 252: The Murderous Intent Has Risen

Seeing Emperor Showa's age-stained and obese face lifted up from the folds, Jiang's eyes were slightly stunned, and when he looked carefully at the feelings in her eyes, it was indescribably strong and hot.

At this moment, although she is looking at the current Emperor Showa, only she knows that she is looking at him twenty years ago through this fat figure.

At that time, Emperor Showa was not so obese that much, and his appearance was as handsome as today's King Ling.

Back then, she fell in love with him at first sight, so she insisted on marrying him despite the opposition of her family and the prevention of her parents.

To this day, she still remembers that when the candle night in the cave room, looking at him handsome and compelling under the light of the dragon and phoenix candles, she smiled happily and contentedly; thought that in this life, they would be husband and wife, Qin Se and Ming, but I didn't expect that with the passage of time, her relationship with him would gradually turn into nothingness.

She watched more and more of his women, watching him pamper one young and beautiful woman after another in front of her; He is the son of heaven of Great Wei, rich in the world; She is the queen of Great Wei, and she is noble; Everyone thought that they were Luan Feng and Ming, a match made in heaven, but only she knew that in countless bleak nights, she had been guarding the phoenix chair alone, living alone in Yonghe Palace for twenty years.

They seemed to be the most noble and loving couple in the world, but she knew very well that they had already begun to drift apart, and the gap between them was too wide and too big.

He gave her a noble status, gave her harem power, and even allowed her to do some dirty things under his nose; However, he was stingy and refused to give her what she wanted most - his affection.

Now, looking at him in front of her, who has also begun to age, she finds that she still loves him deeply, even if he is no longer as handsome as he used to be, but she still can't help but like him.

One of his glances fell on her, which was enough for her to be excited and happy for a long time and not forget.

Emperor Showa looked at Jiang Shi who was standing in front of the dragon case and looked at him stupidly, he was already too familiar with her eyes.

From the first time they met, she had been staring at him with such eyes that she wouldn't even blink; Once, he thought that such eyes were full of love, which made him extremely happy, after all, he was so madly loved by his wife, and there was no man in this world who did not like it.

Gradually, however, he saw the true feelings in her eyes.

It was not intense love, but a deep desire for control, a terrible desire for possessiveness, a hateful desire for domination.

They had been husband and wife for several years, and he knew very well what kind of person his wife was, and she preferred to manipulate him more than to love him; Just like the throne he is sitting on now, it is not that he is really willing to sit on it, but that his wife wants to be the queen too much, and he was pushed, pushed, and forced by her to walk to the supreme throne in this world.

Now, his eldest son will follow in his footsteps, because she wants to be the queen mother, and his eldest son will also become the next puppet, in order to fulfill her wish, step by step, towards a position that should not belong to him.

Facing the Jiang family, Emperor Showa only had indifference in his eyes and a tumbling disgust in his heart, but she was the queen, and he wanted to take care of the overall situation and save some face for her; That's why she appeared in front of him and let her look at him with his very disliked eyes.

"Why did the queen come to me?" After Emperor Showa glanced at Jiang lightly, he lowered his head and held the wolf pen again, and slowly wrote Zhu Pi on a piece of music.

Jiang was regained by Emperor Showa's words, hurriedly put away the friendship in his eyes, and after saluting Emperor Showa Yingying, he motioned to Aunt Yinglan to bring the nourishing decoction, and at the same time said: "The concubine heard that the emperor has been working very hard for state affairs recently, so she specially stewed the decoction and served it, hoping that the emperor can take care of his body and don't be too tired." ”

Emperor Showa still glanced at the decoction on the dragon case lightly, but he didn't even move, and said politely and detachedly: "This kind of trivial matter of stewing decoction will not bother the queen in the future; It is also hard for the queen to preside over the harem, so don't worry about my body anymore; I'm going to have a doctor to worry about my physical condition. ”

Obviously, it seems to be very warm, but Jiang knows very well that Emperor Showa is rejecting himself; Now, is he starting to lose his ability to even stand his presence in front of him?

Even if she took the initiative to come to him and show favor to him, did he disdain?

For so many years, she has been silently by his side for so many years, would he rather be entangled with those foxes than look at her more?

For a moment, resentment and jealousy immediately occupied all of Jiang's heart, and she clenched her fists hard, allowing the beautiful and delicate armor cover to pierce into the tender flesh of her palm.

But the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he tried his best to restrain himself: "The emperor is sympathetic to the concubines, and the concubines are grateful; It is only the duty of the concubine to take care of her husband. ”

Hearing Jiang say this, the wolf pen in Emperor Showa's hand suddenly slammed, and a large drop of ink fell on the white rice paper, and a large piece of it was fainted in an instant.

Emperor Showa slowly raised his head from the fold, and at this time, there was not even indifference in his eyes, only a coldness remained: "The queen came to me, is it really just to fulfill the responsibility of his wife?" If that's the case, then forget it, I'm very busy right now, and I don't have time to spend with the queen to talk about the love between husband and wife. ”

Jiang Shi couldn't even hold back the last smile on her face, she tensed her lips and stared at Emperor Showa.

Aunt Yinglan, who was still standing on one side, noticed that the atmosphere in the hall was not quite right, plucked up her courage, whispered a pestle behind Jiang's family, and reminded her in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King Ling." ”

Pulled back to his senses by these four words, Jiang Shi pressed the sourness in his heart, and then spoke: "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that His Royal Highness King Ling has been away from Beijing for a few days, I don't know if he can arrive in Jeju City now?" ”

Emperor Showa's cold eyes fell on Jiang's body, thought for a moment, and said, "According to the third child's footsteps, this time should have come." ”

Jiang laughed a few times: "His Royal Highness King Ling is really young and promising, at such an age, he bears the burden of being ordered to send orders and goes to the disaster area for disaster relief; You must know that today's Jeju City is not as good as the original, let alone the capital, and the prince is afraid that he will have to suffer some hardships this time. ”

"He is a prince, and he suffers for the benefit of all people, and it is also what he should do."

Jiang smiled: "Yes, His Royal Highness King Ling was sent to the battlefield by the emperor when he was young, although he was not very old at that time, but he made many achievements in the army, and so far the soldiers on the border will praise him repeatedly, praising all this for the emperor's good teaching." ”

Hearing Jiang mention his son, Emperor Showa's face softened a little, and even the tone of his voice to her was not as blunt as before.

"I didn't pay much attention to him when he was young, after all, he had two brothers above him; But Xuan'er, I am quite optimistic about him, and when Xuan'er was young, I often carried him to the Taihe Palace, and personally taught him to learn and read, and had high hopes for him. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Showa's tone paused, and then looked at Jiang again: "Now that you are Xuan'er's mother, you must teach him more about brotherhood and study hard; Xuan'er has been very smart since she was a child, and I remember that he can remember all the books he reads once. ”

A smile also appeared on Jiang's face: "This is all the credit of the emperor, all the princes are smart people; Especially King Ling, who can not only go to the battlefield to kill the enemy bravely, protect his family and defend the country, but also enter the court and relieve the disaster; It's just that this Jeju City is far away from the capital, and the relief of the disaster area is difficult, so I really don't know how King Ling should deal with it; In case of an emergency, if King Ling can't handle it, I'm afraid it will cause some trouble. ”

Emperor Showa listened to Jiang's meaning, raised the corners of his eyebrows, and looked at her: "Emergency? Troublesome? Did the queen know something? ”

Jiang Shi smiled with a smile, and looked at Emperor Showa with affection: "The concubine is just a woman in the harem, how can she know about the outside world; The concubines are just worried about King Ling, afraid that he is young and vigorous, and it is the first time to be this disaster relief messenger, if it is not good, I am afraid that it will damage the emperor's grace. ”

Emperor Showa is worthy of being a husband and wife with the Jiang family for several years, and as soon as he heard her words, he immediately understood the purpose of her coming here today.

It turned out that it was to probe his tone.

Emperor Showa snorted coldly and said, "Since I have appointed the third child to be this disaster relief messenger, I will naturally rely on and trust him; He holds the decree given by me in his hand, and wherever he goes, everything he does, it represents me, and I will not interfere with his actions, and not only that, but I will support him. As long as he does the right thing, I will be his most powerful backer. ”

"As for your worries about whether he is young and vigorous, he will do something wrong, or cause some public resentment and gossip, I think it is unfounded, Queen, that you think so; My Ling'er was able to gallop on the battlefield when he was a teenager, what kind of scene has he never seen, will he still be afraid of these groundless and wind-catching rumors? ”

Looking at Emperor Showa, who swore so much to Zhao Ling, although Jiang still had a smile on her face, her clenched fists betrayed her deep displeasure and suspicion at the moment.

From a long time ago, she suspected that in the heart of Emperor Showa, Zhao Ling was not useless; I thought that she had thought too much about this suspicion, but when she saw it today, she became more and more sure that it might be true.

If this is really the case, then Zhao Ling can't stay and must be eradicated.

Thinking that Concubine Yang blocked her when she was alive and snatched her husband away from her, she didn't expect that after that slut died, she still left a slut in her eyes.

This mother and son are really born to make trouble for her.
