In the eighth year of Emperor Zhao, the relationship between Empress Xian and Shengshang deteriorated.

Although the first empress was well-known in Pingyang for her appearance and talent, Emperor Zhao didn't like a lady like her. When Emperor Zhao was the crown prince, there was a side concubine in his mansion who was born in Xiaomen Biyu, but she was loved by her family and had an arrogant temper. But she is infatuated with Emperor Zhao, and Emperor Zhao also likes her tightness, even if he is surrounded by stars outside, he prefers her unbridled need for himself.

But he couldn't let go of the throne even more. At that time, the Wen family was gaining momentum in the court. The late emperor attached great importance to the Wen family and personally acted as a matchmaker. He had no choice but to marry the Wen family's daughter.He had promised this pampered side concubine day after day that when he ascended the throne one day, he would help her to be the righteous one, but he never thought that he would marry a regular wife just after he became the crown prince, let alone in the future, this beloved concubine The concubine was also proud of being favored, so she kept fighting with him.

It was okay for a day or two, but this trouble lasted for several months, and he felt depressed. Seeing that Wen's family was talented and handsome, he was temporarily tempted, and he had a child in half a year.Now Concubine Chong felt very uncomfortable, disappointed in their relationship, she couldn't think of this hurdle, not long after the child was born, she got a heart disease and died of depression.

After her death, Emperor Zhao seemed to wake up immediately. Thinking of all the things in the past, he felt that he loved her so badly. He felt that he was far away from the appearance of his old friend, and he missed her treating him like an ordinary lover.

At this time, the Sheng family was setting up power in Pingyang and sent their daughter in, and it was the Sheng family who entered the mansion.Seeing Sheng's coquettishness, he felt somewhat similar to his old friend, so he liked her quite a bit, and gradually neglected the concubine, but Wen's was gaining momentum, he didn't dare to spoil his concubine and kill his wife, on the surface he still respected Wen's.

The Wen family and the Sheng family divided the harem equally, and it was still the case for many years after Emperor Zhao ascended the throne. Above the front hall, the two families were also at odds, competing for the position of heir.

Until the Zhao Xing incident happened, the left minister turned against the Sheng family.That year coincided with a flood, Prime Minister Zuo took advantage of the celestial phenomena and sent someone to create a miracle in Luozhou.After the flood, a stone tablet appeared in the world, and there were many stories on it, some true and some false, which were widely spread among the people, and many false ones were also regarded as prophecies.Among them is a story about a woman surnamed Wen who took away the fortune of the entire family of her in-laws and caused the family to decline, and this family was exactly the Li family.This coincided with Emperor Zhao's situation, and even more so with what he had in mind.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will take root and sprout like saplings. In addition to Sheng's uninterrupted slander, whether it is the harem or the former court, the rumors about Wen's never stop.

From then on, everything that the Wen family did would be imagined by Emperor Zhao. Even the Empress Wen met her brother's friends several times in her boudoir, and it was rumored that she had already made love to someone and just married reluctantly. Into the palace.

In the previous dynasties, in order to balance the power of the two clans, Emperor Zhao deliberately took care of the Sheng family, but was extremely harsh on the Wen family. For a while, the Wen family was struggling.But he never really made a move on Wen's family, because the pair of children he was most satisfied with were both born of Wen's family.The legitimate son is the rightful heir to the throne. He is gentle, courteous and thrifty, with literary talent and military strategy. He is not inferior to him in the past. He is indeed a good seedling for the emperor. He has just gone to the battlefield to practice a few times, and he has returned with merit every time. This year he has made great achievements. Already revealed, he is very satisfied.

And his favorite daughter, Sheng Yang, is the apex of Empress Wen's heart, and also his apex.Sheng Yang's personality is completely different from her mother's, and even has a faint shadow of his beloved concubine back then, making him feel that this child is simply God's favor for him.

Until the early spring of Emperor Zhao's tenth year, he learned from Sheng's mouth that there might be something else wrong with the death of his favorite concubine, and his doubts became heavier and heavier, and his guilt towards this favorite concubine became deeper and deeper.

At this moment, he used to be a sleeping maid in the mansion, and later concubine Jing, the biological mother of the second prince, came out to testify that it was indeed the queen's maid who gave the medicine back then, which led to the tragic death of the beloved concubine.

Although he has no love for Empress Wen, he still appreciates it, and he didn't believe it right away, but he always had doubts, pondered it every day, and observed Wen from time to time.

Until later, a child asked him if there was a concubine in the past, and told him that he overheard the former queen's subordinates mentioning that a murder had happened that day.He firmly believed in Tong Yan's words, and connected the child's words with all the previous things, and hated Wen's family to the extreme, so he instructed the left minister to use the power of Sheng's family to get rid of this serious problem.

"It's just that he didn't expect that in order to eliminate his malicious speculation, he killed his first wife and even his own son. If you didn't show up at that time, maybe he even killed my only daughter."

Sheng Yang looked at Duan Yuzhi again, with no waves in his eyes, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with her, but her tightly clenched hands revealed the resentment and resentment in her heart, the tiger's poison is not even a child, the emperor But less human than beasts.

"Seeing him pretending to be a good father every day in front of the world, everyone thinks how much he loves this arrogant and domineering daughter, but no one knows the vicious deeds behind his back!"

Sheng Yang's eyes were red, hatred and grief filled her, like an angry rabbit in the dark night, Duan Yuzhi put his arms around her shoulders, and gently hugged her into his arms.

At this moment they arrived at Honglu Temple overnight, the first time they didn't go through the main entrance, Duan Yuzhi led her over the wall, just landed in the yard of the first empress and the first prince, entered the house, did not light the lights, Sheng Yang Fumbled for the tablet in the dark.

"Queen, brother..."

Today coincides with the day when the first empress and the first crown prince died. Emperor Zhao forbade publicity, and Duan Yuzhi could not enter the temple. Sheng Yang used to come alone.

Duan Yuzhi briefly lit the fire folder, burned incense, and the two knelt side by side before the coffin, vaguely looking like they were worshiping the old moon together.

Sheng Yang calmed down and smiled, "Daoist Duan entered the temple today."

"The abbot of this temple has never been a serious monk. His temple also needs to carefully consider whether it is a qualified temple."

"is it?"

Someone slammed the door open.

The visitor was almost integrated with the night, and only the dim candlelight reflected the golden thread on his cassock to reveal his identity.

"The memorial ceremony of this palace has not been completed yet, why did Abbot Wangyou interrupt so impolitely!"

Sheng Yang scolded him with angry eyes.

"Your Highness is distinguished. If you want to come, you should go through the main entrance during the day. Why do you sneak here?"
