The Tyrant’s Beloved Empress

Xiao Zhige's biological mother, Libing, was originally just a selected beauty. +++Cartino novel website www.readwn.com was favored by Emperor Anqing because of his prosperous appearance and good dancing skills. It's just that this love didn't last long. Later, when Xiao Zhige was born, there was a bad omen, and Li Yi kept him with death. However, the mother and son have lost the emperor's love.

Later, when Xiao Zhige was nine years old, he went with Emperor Anqing to go hunting in the Spring Mountain Palace in the autumn. When he came back, the queen said that Li Bi could not bear the loneliness of the cold palace and killed herself.

The concubine suicide in the palace was a taboo thing. The queen had already buried the corpse in hastily, and he did not even see the last face of the mother concubine.

He had also doubted the Queen's rhetoric, and refused to believe that his mother and concubine would choose to surrender and leave him behind. And why is it such a coincidence that something happened when they were not in the palace?

But later he repeatedly checked, but did not find the slightest doubt.

Now Shu Lingting's remarks evoked the doubts he had hidden deep in his heart.

The atmosphere in the hall was condensed for a while, and An Changqing looked at Xiao Zhige worriedly-in the memory of the previous life, there was no mention of Libing.

Seeing that although Xiao Zhige was silent, hostility was already surging between his eyes. Knowing that the purpose of this trip has been achieved, Shu Lingting sighed again pretending to be.

"I say nothing, why does this king believe you?" Xiao Zhige tried his best to maintain his expressionless appearance, but his hands on his knees were already tightly clenched into fists.

Shu Lingting sighed: "What happened back then, the evidence has already been cleared (gan gan)... I only knew about it by accident. If it weren't for the prince's rescue this time, my conscience would be really uneasy, otherwise I wouldn't be able to reveal it. This old thing comes..."

"But..." He made a full posture, and just changed his words: "Although I have no evidence, there is one person who definitely knows the truth."

An Changqing's eyelids jumped suddenly, and as soon as a person appeared in her heart, she listened to Shu Ling and said, "If the prince doesn't believe what I said, you can go to the princess to verify, she should know."

The eldest princess, Xiao Youxi.

The only daughter of the Empress Dowager Zhao, the (sexual xing) son of a proud concubine. Among the three sons of Emperor An Qing, she loved Xiao Zhige the most.

An Changqing asked her before, and she said that she felt sorry for Xiao Zhige's loss of his mother when she was young. But this reason is too far-fetched. But if we add the death of Li-嫔, it might be able to explain it.

An Changqing looked at Xiao Zhige subconsciously, only to see that his expression was tense, his eyes were deep and invisible, and his (thin bao) lips were pressed very hard, although he still maintained his composure. But it reads out of panic and fragility.

Tightened in her heart, An Changqing looked at Shu Lingting, her eyes cold instantly, and she got up to see off the guests.

"If it is true or not, we will verify it by ourselves. If General Shu is fine, please go back."

He unceremoniously gave an order to chase away guests, and Shu Ling didn't feel annoyed when he stopped, shook his head and sighed: "...I owe it to consideration, maybe I shouldn't tell it."

An Changqing's eyes were cold, with a smile, "I think General Shu is too thoughtful."

Shu Lingting pretended not to understand, and had a haha ​​with him.

An Changqing sent him to the outside of the hall, and Ji Er looked at him, "General Shu's love for the Northern War Palace has been recorded, but the life debt is not so easy to pay off, and the prince will personally seek the rest in the future."

Shu Lingting smiled, arched his hand at him perfunctorily, and then strode out.

An Changqing's face (color) was slightly dark, and she reached out and rubbed her cheek again, adjusted her expression, and then turned back into the hall.

Xiao Zhige still sat in the posture he had before going out, only blue veins burst out on the sides of his neck and the back of his hands, and the blue meridians pierced through the skin abruptly, looking a little shocking.

An Changqing pretended to not realize it, squatted forward and covered the back of his hand, saying, "No matter if he says it is true or not, we go to find the princess and ask. If the mother and concubine are really being taken by (rapist) people We will find the enemy and avenge her."

Although he felt that Shu Lingting dared to say this today, it was true in all likelihood.

Moreover, most of the Libing's matter has nothing to do with the queen (off tuo) (gan gan). Shu Lingting said that he was repaying his favor, but he wanted to take the opportunity to provoke a fight between them and the queen.

Xiao Zhige raised his eyes to look at him, his pupils trembling slightly. An Changqing squeezed his hand even harder: "Today is late, and tomorrow I will go to the Long Princess's Mansion. Would you like to go with me?"

The two looked at each other for a long time before Xiao Zhige spit out the word "go" with great difficulty, his voice hoarse.

The King of the Northern War is always invincible. He is a clank man who can carry a gun (to kill sha) even if he is wounded. An Changqing has never seen him such a fragile appearance. The truth of the death of Li Bi (die si) was an instant. It pierced his copper-skinned iron armor and crushed him.

Although he was still calm, An Changqing looked at him in a daze that year when he had just returned from the palace, but suddenly learned of Xiao Zhige, who had died of his mother's concubine (died si).

An Changqing didn't say those empty and useless words of comfort, but kept holding his hand tightly and silently accompanied him.

Xiao Zhige stared down at the hands between the two of them, and then muttered for a long time: "After the death of the mother concubine, I have secretly searched for a long time, but I did not find the slightest clue. Everyone told me that the concubine could not stand Leng Gong Hard work, chose suicide."

He didn't believe it at first, but then, unable to find the evidence, he listened a lot, he gradually believed, and even really gave up to continue to investigate the truth.

But his mother concubine is obviously a tough and cheerful woman. Even if she falls out of favor and moves to Qifeng Palace, which is no different from Lenggong, even if the minions below see the wind, even the food and clothing have to be deducted, the mother concubine never (Lu ) The sorrow (color).

She was from a commoner background, and the evil slave cut the food, and he cried so hungry, she went to the garden to find edible flowers and plants, and made cakes for him to eat with the flour she had asked for. When the clothes were cut off, she pulled the drapery to make cloth, and made him a jacket to protect him from the cold.

Li Bian once enjoyed the grace of the emperor, and I don't know how many people have caught it. Later, I lost my power, and I didn't need those nobles to do anything, but there were so many slaves who could see (lust), and tried to toss them. For many years, the mother and son have survived each other. But her (sexual xing) affection is always gentle, loves Xiao Zhige, and gives him everything she can to protect him from growing up safely.

How could such a tough mother abandon her nine-year-old son and choose to suicide?

"I shouldn't believe it." Xiao Zhige's voice trembled slightly: "She died unjustly, but I believed the outsider's words and gave up looking for the truth. Let her die unclear..."

He muttered to himself generally: "Mother concubine must be disappointed,"

"That's not the case." An Changqing was sour when he heard it, and she hugged him into her arms: "You were so young at the time, and those people combined to deceive you, how can you find out?"

"Mother concubine will definitely not blame you." An Changqing patted on his back, her voice softly said: "She loves you so much, and I definitely hope you will live well. Besides, it is not too late for us to avenge her... …"

Feeling the increasing strength on her waist, An Changqing sighed lightly and hugged him back vigorously.

Xiao Zhige was exceptionally silent this night, and the short moment of fragility in the hall seemed to be just an illusion. He calmly ate dinner with An Changqing, went to take a bath, and even went to see the two children afterwards. Then he rested with An Changqing.

The whole person calmly called An Changqing a little scared.

No one slept this night.

As soon as the sky (color) was light, Xiao Zhige got up. He looked no different from the past, but the hostility that occasionally crossed his eyes made An Changqing startled.

After breakfast, the two went to the Long Princess Mansion together.

The princess mansion was built magnificently, but the gate was indifferent. Since the eldest princess had a rift with her husband, she moved back to the princess mansion from the Cai's house, and the couple have lived in Beppu since then. The Long Princess Mansion even thanked guests behind closed doors and rarely interacted with others.

Xu was few people visited, and the concierge was shocked when seeing the two of them, and then hurriedly went in to report.

After waiting for a while, the mother next to the eldest princess came to greet her in person, her eyes narrowed with a smile: "The prince and princess are really rare guests, the eldest princess misses you most on weekdays."

Xiao Zhige was silent, An Changqing smiled politely, and followed her into the main courtyard.

When the two entered, they saw the princess standing at the gate of the courtyard and looking here from a distance. Her eyes touched both of them. The cold expression instantly brought warmth to her. She came up slowly and said, "How come you come here suddenly? Up?"

An Changqing looked at her. Perhaps in her own house, she was dressed very homely, she had a face without grease and powder, but in this way, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows appeared (exposed).

With a sigh in her heart, An Changqing didn't mean anything, looked into her eyes and said, "The prince has something to ask auntie."

Xiao Youxi was taken aback for a moment, the smile on his face faded, and when he went to see Xiao Zhige, his eyes were heavy. The last smile on his lips also disappeared. She pursed her lips, her expression became extremely pale, as if for a moment and a long time later, she sighed silently, and ordered the waiting mother: "Send people to wait outside the yard. You personally guard the door. No one is allowed to come in without my instructions."

He said to An Changqing, "Follow me."

The three of them entered the house together, and then the mother closed the doors and windows, and the light in the inner room dimmed.

This should be the place where the eldest princess usually rests. There is a small table in the middle of the room and four futons on the side. A few scrolls of Buddhist scriptures and a pot of tea.

Compared with this magnificent princess mansion, this interior room looks much simpler.

The three were seated. An Changqing and Xiao Zhige sat aside, and the princess sat across from them alone.

After pouring tea for them in person, Xiao Youxi could even smile a little at this meeting. She had a trembling feeling of fear but expectation. After so many years, she was finally about to have a relief (tuo).

"If you want to ask, just ask." She said.

An Changqing didn't speak, but went to see Xiao Zhige. Xiao Zhige's pupils trembled slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "My mother concubine, how did you die?"

Xiao Youxi was in a daze for a moment, then let out a long suffocating breath: "You really know it."

She lowered her eyes and pondered for a while, seeming to be considering what to say. The sealed past in her mind turned up again. After a long time, she said: "It was the prince who missed (killed sha) her."

An Changqing was taken aback, he thought the murderer would be the queen, how could he be the prince?

Xiao Zhige obviously didn't want to understand, but then he thought of something general, his face (color) was colder than before, and his eyes were bitter (to kill sha).

Xiao Youxi didn't look at their looks, she knew they must be as shocked as she had just learned the truth.

That year, the prince was only fourteen years old. He is the grandson of the Chinese palace and backed by a (strong qiang) mother's family. He was crowned a prince at birth and taught as a prince since childhood. The queen dowager and the queen have very strict requirements on him, and he behaves very well. Regardless of academic and ability, he is better than his brother (strong qiang). From the age of twelve, he was led by Emperor Anqing to teach politics.

Therefore, when Emperor Anqing went to the Spring Mountain Palace for autumn hunting, he left the Crown Prince Jianguo. No one thought that under his polite appearance, he was hiding a lunatic with a distorted mind.

That year, Cai Cong was not accompanied by a driver and stayed in charge of defense in the palace. Xiao Youxi and his young couple naturally did not go hunting in the autumn, so they entered the palace to accompany the queen mother. She recalled what she saw that night. For many years afterwards, she had the illusion that she never knew about it, so that she would not have to bear this serious sin and could not sleep well day and night.

She closed her eyes, her straight back bends slightly: "The queen's teaching is strict, and the prince is obedient on the surface, but in the dark is gradually becoming rebellious. Maybe once you saw that Lili loved you very much, he gradually gave birth to jealousy... "

No one knew what he was thinking at the time. The fourteen-year-old boy said that it was too early for a man, but he already knew about personnel.

It coincided that Emperor Anqing took Xiao Zhige to the palace, and only Lili was left in Qifeng Palace, so he thought about it. Later, the prince argued that he was only jealous of Xiao Zhige's care and love to his mother. He had never felt his mother's love before, so he went to Libing.

The prince said: He just wanted Libi to love him like Xiao Zhige.

But Li Bin not only didn't want to get close to him, she even went out to call for people. At this time, the prince panicked and dragged Ren (强qiang) back. Under the entanglement between the two, the prince missed and strangled Libi.

The empress dowager and empress both believed this statement, and later Emperor Anqing also believed it.

Xiao Youxi always felt that the prince might not be just such a simple mind. Libing was the emperor's concubine, she was only twenty-five years old at the time, and the prince was fourteen years old. Although she was not yet an adult, she already had someone by her side.

This kind of speculation is too nasty, maybe everyone knows it well, but no one has said it. After all, Li Yan was not violated in the end.

The prince is also the crown prince of a country, and he must not bear the taint of filthy harem.

The imperial family cannot spread scandals, the Anqing Emperor does not allow it, and the Zhao family does not allow it.

The author has something to say:

Ah, today is an unhappy counsel, there is no small theater anymore.
