Chapter 595: Entering the Temple
"Your Majesty?" Concubine Shu's indestructible heart collapsed violently after hearing these words, and she looked at the emperor with a blank eye, hoping to see a touch of softness in his eyes.
The Emperor's attention was not on her at all, he just turned his head indifferently and looked down at a clear lake.
In order to hide people's eyes, the venue for several people's negotiations was chosen outdoors, and no one usually walked around the place, so it did not seem too embarrassing.
A lake was originally extremely clear, but under the erosion of the years, it became a little black and gray, and it was no longer the same as before, just like Concubine Shu in front of him.
There was a hint of sarcasm in the emperor's eyes, and he couldn't imagine that he had been favored for many years, and he gave such a white-eyed wolf for nothing.
Concubine Shu was pulled down by a group of people, no one gave her a chance to beg for mercy, and no one gave her room to explain, even the third prince watched coldly as she was pulled down, and there was no nostalgia in her eyes.
Concubine Shu's originally fiery heart suddenly died, and at this moment she finally understood how ridiculous her liking was.
"Ouyang Heng, I, Ye Mingru, will not let you go even if I am a ghost!" Concubine Shu exerted the last bit of strength in her body and shouted loudly at the third prince who looked like a dog.
The third prince listened to her words, and suddenly frowned, the emperor thought that there would be any more turnaround, but he didn't expect her to be more ruthless than he imagined.
"How many of you guys are not hurrying up? Don't leave this mad dog woman here and dirty our ears. The third prince whispered to the guards who were incompetent.
The guards have been on errands in the palace for so many years, and soon heard the displeasure in his tone, and hurriedly accelerated the movements in his hands, and covered Concubine Shu's mouth by the way.
Concubine Shu finally couldn't say a word, she tried to punch and kick the guard, but in exchange for a cold taunt.
"Do you really think that you are the concubine above the previous three people? Now that they have been put into the cold palace, they don't know how to weigh their status. ”
Those guards had very poisonous mouths, they saw that Concubine Shu was already a little prejudiced, and now they finally found an outlet to vent.
Concubine Shu was kept in the deep boudoir for a long time, and soon lost his strength, he was thrown into the cold palace fiercely, and watched the door of the cold palace close little by little, and the last glimmer of light disappeared in front of his eyes.
The emperor still stood still by the lake, and without turning his head, he could feel that the breathing of the third prince had become noticeably short.
"Now you know it's reluctant?" The Emperor was deliberately teasing him, "I really don't look like you just now." ”
"In the face of the overall situation, it is natural to put public affairs first, and these children don't have to talk about their personal feelings or anything." The third prince is a very smart person, and he deliberately pulled out a few grandiose reasons so that people could not find faults.
"It turns out that the third brother has such an enlightened mind." Listening to his words, the emperor somehow smiled again, "It just so happens that the frontier still needs a capable general to defend, since the third brother likes to focus on the overall situation, how about leaving this little matter to you?" ”
The third prince was stunned for a moment in place.
The news of the frontier soldiers' tightness had already spread to the interior, and even if he didn't know it, the emperor, who had to read hundreds of minutes a day, must have heard of it.
But he clearly knows that the frontier is not at peace now, but he still wants to use this reason to transfer himself out of the center of power.
"The third brother didn't want to talk for so long, wouldn't he be unhappy." As if disgusted that the firewood was not burned vigorously enough, the emperor deliberately added.
The third prince was already difficult to ride a tiger, and his face was black at the bottom of the copper pot: "Since it is for the people, then the lives of the ministers are not important." ”
He still stubbornly said this.
The emperor was still a little surprised in his heart, he thought that he would find many, many reasons to excuse himself, but what he didn't expect was that it was hard and reluctant but very refreshing.
"Since the third brother promised so well, then the palace will arrange a carriage for you to go to the frontier tomorrow, you must remember to manage it well." The Emperor deliberately patted him on the shoulder.
The third prince looked at the back of the emperor leaving, without saying a word, he went home and packed his bags resignedly, comforting himself in every possible way, this is also worth it.
Concubine Shu was sent to the cold palace for admitting this matter too early, if he didn't deny it as soon as possible, then the situation would obviously get worse, maybe he was going to the guillotine.
The third prince went to the frontier the next day and never returned, and no one knew what happened to him, whether he was dead or if he found another girl to be free.
But no matter which one is here, no one has the heart to care about it now.
Long Yaoyang didn't know what this happened yet, he stayed up for a few days and wanted to find the emperor to help him fight the whereabouts of his mother's concubine, but as soon as he arrived at the door of the emperor's study, a group of people looked at him strangely.
Only a good eunuch who served behind the emperor still felt a little pity for Long Yaoyang, and he secretly thought in his heart that this child was pitiful, and immediately squatted down and said to him.
"Fourth prince, do you want to see the emperor?" The eunuch had a gentle smile on his face, and his tone was very soft, even though he was a little incomprehensible.
Long Yaoyang just nodded silently.
He followed the eunuch into the long hall, where the emperor was sitting at the very top, holding a brush in his hand, and on the table was a piece of rice paper, which should be used for him to practice calligraphy.
The emperor immediately raised his eyes when he heard someone coming, and he was greeted with a pair of clear and immaculate eyes, watery texture, which would make people want to fall at a glance.
"Fourth?" The Emperor glanced at the child, "Did you come to me for something?" ”
Long Yaoyang pursed his lips and didn't say a word, he was so awkward, a person obviously had something in his heart, but he would never reveal it to his acquaintances.
The emperor sighed slightly, called the eunuch out, walked in front of Long Yaoyang, and squatted down: "Fourth, if there is nothing to do, don't go in and out of the study too often, this will not have a good impact on us." ”
Long Yaoyang listened to his words and didn't understand anything, at that time, he was not afraid of tigers with autumn calves, so he insisted on asking a few more words.
"Father, I want to know now what happened to my mother?" Long Yaoyang's tone was a little pitiful, Concubine Shu's existence was too important to him.
The emperor has always been strategic, but after hearing this, the whole person was a little stunned, obviously an innocent child, but he suffered so many sins in vain because of this incident.
"She and
The third prince had an affair, and now he has been beaten into the cold palace by me. The Emperor sighed for a while, but replied with great resignation, and there was not a single false word in his words.
Is this really what it looks like? Long Yaoyang secretly sneered in his heart.
He had already expected that this matter would not go too smoothly, and Concubine Shu must have committed some heinous crime, but what he didn't expect was that this heinous crime was inextricably linked to the person who often entered and exited Concubine Shu's palace.
He knelt on the ground with his legs fluttering, kowtowed to the emperor a few times, and blood stains were already visible on his forehead: "Father...... I have no shame to stay in the palace now, and if you agree, I want to go to the monastery and stay for the first time. ”
Long Yaoyang has the meaning of leaving the center of power.
The emperor was obviously surprised by his words, and hurriedly helped him up: "Fourth, why are you doing this?" ”
"My mother actually let go of such a heinous sin in secret, and I, as a child, can't say anything, and certainly can't help much, so I can only atone for my sins in this way."
A heaviness flashed between Long Yaoyang's tones, and he seemed to be bent on exonerating Concubine Shu, but he didn't know if he had any other calculations in his heart.
"If so, I'll do it." The emperor gave him a direct word.
Long Yaoyang hesitated for a moment and asked, "What happened to the third prince?" ”
When the emperor mentioned the unsuccessful prince, his heart was on fire, and his brows furrowed fiercely: "That unsuccessful thing has been thrown to the frontier by me, and he doesn't want to come back after ten or twenty years." ”
The third prince is now in his twenties, and in another ten or twenty years, he will have long since regained his youth, not only does he not have the leisure to seduce others, but even the power may not be good.
A prince who has been away from the capital for so long, where does he get the prestige to treat everyone in this court?
"It's still my father's proper handling." Long Yaoyang lowered his eyebrows, and there was obviously a hint of pleasure after revenge in his eyes.
The third prince, Ouyang Heng, the culprit who made himself fall into the temple at the age of eight......
The emperor arranged for a carriage and horses for Long Yaoyang, and three days later he set off.
The people in the harem also heard about this matter somewhat, and secretly thought that this Concubine Shu was very arrogant before, and the things she had done were all proud.
The second thing they paid attention to was Long Yaoyang, the first prince born to Concubine Shu, without the support of the maternal power, where should this eight-year-old prince go?
But the way things turned out was to crash their glasses.
I thought that the emperor would give him to a concubine at will, but I didn't expect that the child would take the initiative to go to the temple to practice and make amends for his mother's sins.
Rao is in the palace, and there may not be people so deep in the city.
Zhuang Mingyue could understand his thoughts, the only person who could shelter him in the palace at that time had lost power, and his current move was nothing more than to find the best reason for himself to live.
But the living conditions in the temple are naturally incomparable with the palace, one is vegetarian tea and light rice, the other is brocade clothes and jade food, and even suffer from all aspects of the blows that come from nowhere.
Long Yaoyang can endure it, which shows that he is indeed not an ordinary person.
