boudoir

Chapter 417
"I protected Peiyin carefully, and Yizhi didn't invite us into the palace anymore, but he came out to meet us. In the two years before Peiyin and Ji, I was really happy and suffering. The joy is that I can often Seeing her, the torment is that I still can't really own her. Finally, when she turned fifteen, she excitedly told me that I can marry her. I rode a tall horse and led a mighty welcoming team married her back.

"We spent half a year as happy as gods, and our happiness envied everyone. At that time, the elders on both sides of us were happy and worried when they saw us like this. My mother said in private, we are so good, I am afraid The good fortune will not last long. My mother's words came true. That day was the tenth day of March, Yizhi's birthday. We went to the palace to celebrate his birthday. We exchanged cups at the banquet. It was very unpleasant. The princess flipped her hands, and the wine splashed on her hands Wetting Yizhi's sleeves, the princess hurriedly helped him in to change his clothes, and turned out after a while, letting Peiyin follow her in to get his makeup done.

"I saw that the rouge on Peiyin's face was indeed peeling off, so I asked her to go with her. But after they left, they didn't come back soon. I was a little worried about Peiyin, so I went into the hall. Then—"

Having said that, he closed his eyes in pain, and stroked his forehead with his left hand.

Liuli's heart rolled up and down following his narration, she was happy with his joy, and sad with his sorrow. She couldn't imagine what happened next, but the expression of King Dingbei made it difficult for her to see it. I can't bear it.

"Later, what happened?" She gently reminded him.

King Dingbei was silent for a long time, and the room was completely filled with twilight.His figure in the haze is like a stone statue in the thick fog, lonely and tragic.

"Hao'er is Yizhi's child."

After a long time, he raised his head and said this sentence with extreme fatigue.

Liuli almost fell from the round pier!If it weren't for the fact that there was a table next to it.

Qi Yunhao is the late emperor's child!That is to say, after Empress Yuanhui brought Princess Ye into the palace that night, the late emperor had a physical relationship with Princess Ye? !
Liuli shuddered all over.She suddenly recalled the various importance and love that the late emperor had for Qi Yunhao. Could it be that the reason for all this was because Qi Yunhao was his son? !
But if this is the case, then why did the first emperor never admit it?
"My lord, are you sure?" She asked dully.

"I saw it with my own eyes, can it be fake?" King Dingbei raised his voice, and then lowered it again, "You will never know the heart of death at that moment. I had a fight with him, and then left the mansion One month, after I came back, I heard that Peiyin was pregnant. I asked her to abort the child, but she refused, she said she would give birth to prove her innocence. I asked the imperial doctor to lie that he could not give birth, but she still refused , Persist in giving birth to a child even if you die.

"In those few months, we didn't talk peacefully again. I started to blame her and hate her. I knew it was Yuan Hui's design to frame them, but the pain I witnessed with my own eyes made me unable to get out. Later, I still resisted. However, I bowed my head and wanted to reconcile with her for more than ten years of affection for her, but she has refused to forgive me. Until she died-I didn't know that she would really have dystocia. When I came back from outside the mansion, she had There was only one breath left. She handed the child to me and said, this is Ye Peiyin's child, if you hate me, kill him. After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes."

King Dingbei shed tears, and Liuli also shed tears with him.

"She hates me. She knows that I won't kill him. She just makes me sad on purpose. Since I was a child, how can I not cherish everything that belongs to her like a baby? She is my wife. Hao'er is She insisted on giving birth, and I was pregnant with her for ten months. Even if he was not my child, would I not love him? But when I saw him, I would think of Pei. Yin, she is like an abyss, from the first time I saw her, I have already sunk, and I have no strength to float in this life."

There was only the sound of regret and sighs in the room.

Weng and his daughter-in-law were sitting opposite each other, tears had already soaked the skirts of their clothes.

There was also sobbing outside the door, and it was Xiangying who was also feeling sorry for her.

Liuli didn't know how to get out of the Rongxi Hall, and when she got out the moonlight had already risen into the sky, her bright face was like a goddess in the sky looking down on the joys and sorrows of the world.

She never knew that there was such a past between Concubine Ye and King Dingbei and the late Emperor, she thought that no one could match the late Emperor's doting on Empress Dowager Luo.However, judging from the conversation between Empress Dowager Luo and the first emperor, the first emperor still had a deep and unresolved affection for Princess Ye.

"Yizhen!"

After walking to the gate of Chaoqing Hall, Qi Yunhao walked out from the gate and said with a sigh of relief, "Where did you go? You made me look for it like this."

Liuli looked at him, opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Before going out, King Dingbei asked her not to tell Qi Yunhao about this, "He has worked hard enough, don't make him sad anymore." That's what he said, the kindness in his eyes made people feel distressed.He is not Qi Yunhao's biological father, but Ai Wuji Wu can do this for him, is this something few people in the world can do?

He is responsible for Mei's evil deeds, but she didn't do it on purpose, so she can't blame him.

"Yizhen—" Qi Yunhao drew a long tone, put his hand on her forehead and said, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No." Liuli shook her head, smiled and said, "I'm just a little hungry."

Qi Yunhao lovingly stroked the top of her head, held her in his arms, and said, "Then go eat, my snack." When he turned around, he glanced in the direction of King Dingbei's study, and there was a smile in his eyes. Also flashed silky soft.

King Dingbei was ill for four or five days, and Lu Zhao sent a doctor to come over to see him in person.Fortunately, it was just anger and anger, and there was nothing wrong with it, just take two prescriptions.Although Liuli did not serve the decoction in person, she brought Xiaodulu to visit every day, and the three brothers Qi Yunhao and Qi Mulan would also come every day.While taking the medicine, the old man smiled wryly and said, "Except for being injured in the war, I have never eaten this stuff in my life. Now I am enjoying the blessings, and I have raised my bones."

Liuli said: "The medicine not only cures the disease, but also strengthens the body. What's the point? We don't want to hide diseases and avoid medicine."

King Dingbei sneered and drank the medicine in one gulp.

Qi Mulan said from the side: "The prince will just listen to what the sister-in-law says, no matter how much we persuade him, it will be useless."

"Silly girl, it's because your sister-in-law is right. You can say a few words at any time, and the prince will listen to you." Qi Yunhao smiled beside her.

Qi Mulan smiled and nodded, but her eyes were covered.

Liuli said: "Our girl Lan has been crying more and more recently. Shen'er, look at your aunt, does it look like when you couldn't ask for sweets?"

Little Dulu tilted his head to observe for a while, then nodded solemnly: "Like!"

The people in the room burst into laughter.Qi Mulan couldn't help laughing, picked up Little Dulu, and scratched his nose: "Little bad guy, if you eat sweets, your teeth will be broken."

Mrs. Mei is still locked in the main room for the time being, the old man hasn't given instructions yet, and no one has come to ask questions, it's just that there is no such person in the mansion.Qi Yunke and Qi Mulan became more and more respectful and respectful towards Qi Yunhao, and they even respected Liuli more and more.Even Qi Yunjing's original grievances about Qi Yunhao's handing over He Yuhua to him were let go under Li Fu's persuasion.

Today's Dingbei Palace truly presents an unprecedented harmony and happiness.

On the fourth day of King Dingbei's illness, Lu Zhao also came to the mansion for a visit.

Liuli and Qi Yunhao stayed by the side for a while, and King Dingbei told them to go out, so Liuli and Qi Yunhao bid farewell to Chaoqingtang.

A moment later, Lu Zhao came to their courtyard in surprise, and said, "The old man actually revealed that he wanted to return the military power to me! Why is that?"

Liuli and Qi Yunhao were also dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on.

Lu Zhao comforted them and said, "However, I didn't agree right away. You can ask him before you can talk about it."

After Lu Zhao left, Liuli immediately took Qi Yunhao to Rongxi Hall.King Dingbei seemed to have expected them to come, and was sitting on the couch waiting.Seeing him doing this, Liuli stopped beating around the bush and simply said: "Your Highness wants to hand over the military power to the Holy One?"

King Dingbei nodded, and said: "Our Qi family has been in charge of the Nanya camp for three generations. In our generation, the power is even more powerful. As the old saying goes, when the moon is full, it will lose money, and when the water is full, it will overflow. I can't compare to the fact that there are so many civil and military ministers in the court. How many heroes have died in the hands of slanderous ministers throughout the ages? Now that the border is also stable, I will not be needed for the time being, so I simply hand over the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in my hands. It’s a safe change. Hao’er still has [-] soldiers and horses, and Ke’er has [-] in hand, so if we rush here, our family’s momentum is still there.”

Liuli glanced at Qi Yunhao, and remained silent.Qi Yunhao is the late emperor's child, and Empress Dowager Luo wanted to know, even if Lu Zhao would not do anything to Qi's family, would Empress Dowager Luo feel at ease like him?The old man's concerns were justified. He handed over the military power in his hands, which finally made Empress Dowager Luo feel at ease.

Some things are hard to say in front of Qi Yunhao, after he went out in the next afternoon, Liuli took Xiao Dulu to the study again.

After dismissing the servants, she said: "The prince wants to hand over the military power, the real meaning is because of Mei's leaking of secrets, right?"

King Dingbei paused slightly, looked at her and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you." He sighed, and said, "Finally, Mrs. Mei has contributed to my family, and Lan'er hasn't promised her yet, so I won't kill her." , she bore children for me, and I will not divorce her. I want to build a temple next to Peiyin's tomb, and let Mei live there until the end of her life."

Liuli was startled, letting Mei live in the temple next to Princess Ye's tomb, wouldn't it mean that she would guard the tomb for Princess Ye for the rest of her life?This kind of punishment is not much better than killing her or sleeping with her, right?For the old man to make such a big determination, it seems that his heart aches for what she did to Qi Yunhao back then.
