Chapter 88 The Little Emperor's Memories
After figuring out why her sister came here, the little emperor had a solid foundation in her heart. She turned slightly to avoid her sister's push and push, glanced back, and said at the same time:
"Li Yuntang is out of the palace to do business, but he is not in Qianqing Palace now. If the imperial sister came here for him, please go back first. After the eunuch returns, I will let him go to Zhaojian Palace on his own initiative."

The young emperor dodged his body, which made Princess Kun'an's hands loosen. She sensed that the emperor still had a grievance in her heart. She was a little perfunctory and withdrew her hand resentfully. Then she asked in a mysterious way:
"Don't ask me, brother, why did you come here to find that Li Yuntang?"

After finishing speaking, Princess Kun'an did not say a word, waiting for the emperor to lose his temper and ask questions, but after waiting for a long time, there was no reply; she looked up and saw the emperor propped his head on one hand, and his whole body was leaning on the bed. On the desk on the couch, she didn't look in a hurry.

Coupled with the vague smile on her face, Li Chan finally realized that the emperor might know something. The princess stood up suddenly, and asked without regard to etiquette:
"That little eunuch, did you really tell the emperor everything?"

After asking, she realized that she was asking stupidly.

For such an important matter, Li Yuntang, who is a trusted confidant of the emperor, would naturally report it to the higher authorities immediately; however, the emperor was also quite astute, and quickly connected the matters together to come up with the real answer.

The emperor's silence was more like a silent reply. Princess Kun'an's expression suddenly became calm, and her mouth began to be unrestrained:
"It's a blessing that the emperor has such a confidant."

"How can the relationship between Yuntang and me be summed up in the word confidant?
Between him and me, life and death depend on each other..."

After answering these words secretly in his heart, the little emperor stared at the book at hand, his eyes dazed, and then he recalled the day Li Yuntang entered the palace—that is, the day his father passed away.

On that day, the old emperor issued a strange order in the Forbidden City—he sent his trusted eunuch out of the palace to bring Li Xiuxian (former name), the sixth son of King Qin, into the palace secretly.

The little emperor, who was the prince at the time, was very happy when she first heard about it. She thought that her father had called her into the palace to study and play with her, but she never expected that this would become the beginning of a nightmare.

Before Li Yuntang, the only ones who knew that the crown prince was a daughter were Emperor Sheng himself and his close palace servant Xu; the old emperor had never seen such a storm, and his daughter had a secret love for the son of King Qin, how could he escape his eyes ?
The old emperor couldn't even accept the succession of the descendants of the offshoots; how could he tolerate the offshoots of the royal family and contaminate his precious daughter.

The reason why he called King Qin's sixth son into the palace was to kill him; this ruthless emperor wanted to use the life of his daughter's favorite person to cut off his last concern.

As for this daughter, it is only a backup for the crown prince; if a prince is born, even if the status is not guaranteed, it is not within his consideration.

Ruthless is the emperor's family!

The little emperor clearly remembered that before Li Xiuxian entered the palace, he was called to him by his father and told a story.

The story is simple:
After the death of Liu Bang, the former emperor of the Han Dynasty, Empress Lu took over the power. Not long after Empress Lu died, Liu Bang's fourth son and the queen of Liu Heng, the acting king, died suddenly; and after Liu Heng became emperor, the four sons born to the queen also In a short period of time, one after another died.

After hearing this story, the little emperor didn't know why, and looked at his father in a daze, and heard him add another condition:
Although the queen did not leave her name in the history books, most of the kings with the same surname in the early Han Dynasty were matched with Lu's daughter!
The little emperor immediately understood his father's hint that the heroes of the early Han Dynasty killed Zhu Lu, and the Han Xiaowen Emperor, who was the acting king at the time, probably took the initiative to kill the queen in order not to get involved in the incident.

Then she continued to think: Liu Heng was only in his early twenties at that time, and the queen's age should not be much different. They had four sons at such a young age, which is enough to pity the love of this couple.

But this is the most chilling part. For such a loving couple, Liu Heng actually killed him in order to protect himself...

After figuring it out, the little emperor immediately heard his father's teaching:
"Emperor Xiaowen of the Han Dynasty, it can be said that he is well versed in the way of thick and dark. As the emperor, sometimes he needs to act decisively. For those who may threaten his life, he should act decisively, even if this person is your dearest relative."

The little emperor naturally kept saying that he was educated, but the old emperor's next sentence directly made the young prince's hair stand on end—

"You said that Liu Heng's four princes died one after another in a short period of time, and Liu Qi was established as the prince not long after that."

The little emperor was quick-witted and guessed the cause of the problem almost instantly: it is very likely that these four princes were killed by Liu Heng's order...

Tiger poison does not eat children!
But for the sake of rights, it is necessary to get rid of Lu's blood, so as to satisfy the founding ministers who supported Liu Heng as the throne in the early Han Dynasty; , were massacred.

Seeing the shocked face of the prince, the old emperor said again:
"This is another thing I want to teach you. In front of the imperial power, brothers fight against each other, father and son turn against each other. There are too many things to list. The only thing you need to grasp is the power in your hand!"

The little emperor couldn't accept it for a while, trembling in his heart, he didn't dare to take a breath, but just nodded repeatedly.

But what happened next made the little emperor completely terrified; the old emperor took her to the son of King Qin who had settled down in the East Palace, no matter how much he pleaded, and poisoned Li Xiuxian in front of her!

The little emperor will never forget the feeling of being alone holding Li Xiuxian's body that day, crying and heartbreaking; then a miracle happened suddenly, "Li Xiuxian" actually came back to life.

And this scene happened to be bumped into by a little eunuch named Li Yuntang in the East Palace; the little emperor who had just been taught the cruelty of the Tian family, immediately felt a wave of anger in his heart, imitating the example, and ruthlessly killed the little eunuch, Li Daitao The deadlock method!

If it was just that, the old emperor who had many eyes and ears in the palace would definitely not be able to hide it from the old emperor, but on the same day, Emperor Qiansheng also passed away, and the Forbidden City was in chaos, giving the young emperor a chance to fish in troubled waters.

Only Emperor Qiansheng, the eunuch of the Ceremony Disciplinary Inspection Department, and the little emperor himself knew about the poisoning of Prince Qin's son.

After the old emperor passed away, the eunuch with palm prints was severely tortured by the Empress Dowager Yi'an, and naturally revealed many secrets including the murder of Prince Qin's son.Of course, he did not escape death.

Therefore, when Empress Dowager Yi'an wiped out King Qin's family later, she was not surprised that the King Qin's mansion lost a son.

In addition, in the first month, Li Xiuxian, who escaped from the dead, was not only reticent, but also often in a daze...

"Emperor Brother, Emperor Brother!"

The little emperor was brought back to reality by a continuous shout. After she settled the "difficulty", she seemed to be amnesty. Then she looked around and called her sister. Seeing the concern in her eyes, she felt a little relieved.

After recalling such an unbearable past, the little emperor also lost the desire to continue talking with others.

The young emperor promised Princess Kun'an that if Li Yuntang came back, he would try his best to notify Zhaojian Palace. After all, he was also the beneficiary of preventing the queen mother from provoking in the name of marriage.
