Chapter 172 Fen Dai's Brush Outlines the Deep Resentment of the Palace

"It's just that I accidentally slipped my tongue. Sister, don't be angry. Look at Concubine Shu, she's still smiling."

The candlelight stood quietly on the round table, in the flickering room, in the middle hall surrounded by carved wooden railings, the younger figure coquettishly went to pull the sullen woman, and on the other side was Concubine Shu with a faint smile on her face, Pulling her back to sit down, she yelled softly: "It's not big or small, be careful to let His Majesty see it, I want to spank your ass."

At present, the few people are pretty good. They went back to the palace to stay earlier, often forgetting that this is in the palace, there are no rules when they get together, talking and joking, just like returning to the courtyard of Guangde Fang When the emperor returned to court, the girls woke up with a start, and they restrained themselves a lot.

Such behaviors only happen occasionally. Two years of behavior cannot be changed in a month or two.

Therefore, being scolded by Concubine Shu, the smile on the face of the younger woman who leaked her words did not change, "If you want to hit me, hit me, it's best to roll on the bed, hehe I'm not afraid."

"Su Rong, don't overdo it. There are court ladies and eunuchs outside. I will return to the pavilion with Qin Meiren later, so don't get too excited and talk nonsense."

Concubine Shu gave her a sideways glance, but her mouth was smiling, she didn't mean to blame too much, but instead told her not to be too out of line, which aroused His Majesty's suspicion.

She lived together in the courtyard for two years, broke away from the scramble for favor in the palace, and the more than 20 sisters faced being arrested and imprisoned by rebels at any time, or died tragically. She cherished the friendship of unity.

Not only did she think so, the sisters often visited each other during the time when they returned to the palace, and they probably thought so too.

Over there, the younger concubine, only seventeen years old, was leaning on the table with her chin propped up, smiling and shaking her head.

"I know, I'm not ignorant of the importance, besides, His Majesty visited a sister overnight, it's my turn, and it will be at the end of the month, no"

Bang!
The door suddenly made a loud noise, interrupting the female voices in the room, the candles standing on the round table flickered violently, the three women at the table got up from their stools in shock, and looked back.

The door of the room moved slowly, and there was a figure standing at the door. Under the eaves, in the light of the lantern, the robe was covered with golden dragons and brocades, and under the crown, the immature and majestic face seemed to be covered with a layer of coldness. Shuang looked at the three concubines coldly, while a crowd of court ladies and eunuchs knelt around her feet.

"His Majesty."

In the room, the three women's faces were pale, and they stood together tremblingly. Seeing the emperor's face, Li Xuan thought they had heard what they said just now.

"Husband, I thought the three concubines were calling me."

Li Yan's hands clenched into fists behind his back were trembling slightly, and his voice was also trembling. He stepped over the threshold and entered, looking at the three women in luxurious dresses, with their beautiful faces and figures. Thinking of these made him Feel like my heart is about to burst.

"Good. How are my three concubines? It turns out that the word "husband" is called someone else."

"Your Majesty, listen to my concubine's explanation."

Concubine Shu knew that if she didn't explain, she would be guilty of the crime. She quickly raised her face, but before she could finish speaking, Li Yan kicked her chest, kicked her back, and fell heavily beside the table, her head twisted. The raised bun fell down, hanging down on the face and shoulders in a mess.

The younger woman hurriedly rushed to help Concubine Shu up, and called out to Li Xuan: "Your Majesty!" Without the vivacity of the ghost before, she knelt tremblingly, stood in the middle, and kowtowed non-stop, There was a loud bang when his forehead touched the floor.

With a weeping voice, he kept shouting: "Your Majesty, first listen to the explanations of the concubines. Listen to the explanations of the concubines, it's not like that."

"What else is there to explain!"

After all, Li Xuan was more than ten years old, and he was agitated. He interrupted the words of the concubine directly, raised his finger and pointed at them, and growled angrily: "I have not been here for two years. After I returned to the palace, I felt strange. I have not been here for two years." , how do you live your life? If I hadn’t come back, you probably wouldn’t even know about going back to the palace!”

"You three. More than that? Let me think about it, who else is there?"

The emperor waved his sleeves and pointed at the three daughters. While walking back and forth, he also attracted Tian Lingzi outside the door. With a heavy face, he quickly squeezed out the water, walked to the position where the other party's shoulders were at the same level, looked at the court lady and eunuch kneeling outside the door, "Go, take that Bring all the concubines who went back to the palace with the three of them, and bring them downstairs! I will interrogate them one by one!"

Turning around, he looked at the three women and raised his hand: "Take them down too!"

The guards outside the door looked at each other, sighed in a low voice, walked inside without saying a word and picked up the three kneeling women on the ground, pushing and shoving them downstairs.

On the way, the three women were still shouting, but Li Yan ignored them, closed his eyes and clenched his cheeks tightly. What he said before was not without reason. Is there another way to survive?Even though he was hiding in a mansion in the city, he was still skeptical, but after returning to the imperial court, he first put down the important matter of the reward, and then sent someone to investigate when he had time.

But now that I heard it, if he can still suppress the fire, is he still a man?The emperor's concubine is called another man's husband, what is the majesty of the emperor?
If you ask who that person is, Dingyi and your three clans!
The candlelight swayed slightly in the wind, and Li Xuan sat on the bench for a while with chills in his eyes, until Tian Lingzi's voice sounded outside, and he came back to his senses.

"Your Majesty, the concubines have all been brought here."

"Ah."

Over there, the emperor just responded softly, and with his fists pressed against the table, he managed to force himself up, walked steadily outside the door, his eyes touched the bottom, and in the light of the torches of the long line of guards of the Forbidden Palace, counting Ai Ai knelt on the ground for a long time, and sighed softly.

"Big companion, it's hard to be a man, and it's even harder to be an emperor. My 25 women actually have affairs with others. Hehe, I'm the most powerful person in the world. Who on earth can let these concubines climb into each other's beds?"

Tian Lingzi's eyelids twitched wildly. At this moment, he didn't dare to respond casually.

In front, Li Xuan patted the fence again: "Go, let me go down and ask for clarification!"

When the two went downstairs one after the other, Princess Li Huan of Guangde, who was picked up by the emperor to live in the palace, also rushed over after hearing the news, with Jiuyu accompanying her behind her.

"How did His Majesty know?"

"The servant girl heard from Xiao Huangmen, who passed the news below, that Wang Cairen was joking with Concubine Shu and Beauty Qin, and accidentally slipped his mouth, which happened to be heard by His Majesty who came to Peony Tower."

"idiot!"

When returning to the palace, Geng Qing warned again and again, and she also repeatedly urged, how could she not be angry if the matter was brought to such an extent?Although the matter was explained and it was no big deal, no one can guarantee that Li Xuan will not have lumps in his heart.

Princess Guangde cursed again, and quickly crossed the winding small stone bridge over the pool, and passed a crescent gate in front of her. There were many fires, and three rows of kneeling figures came into view, and the sound of crying could be heard. becomes clear.

Over there, the sharp-eyed eunuch saw Princess Guangde rushing towards with people, and hurriedly greeted the emperor who was downstairs, "Your Majesty, Princess Guangde is here."

"It doesn't matter if the emperor's aunt is here, I have to ask the truth today!"

Li Yan glanced at the lanterns shining on the ground over there, and the woman who led them over, went down the last step of the wooden ladder, and strode towards the kneeling concubine on the ground.

"I heard that you have been away for two years and lived comfortably. I wonder which gentleman made you live comfortably? Can you tell me? I would like to praise you."

Below, the girls just sobbed softly, and some were too frightened by the sudden change to make a sound.

"Are you deaf?"

Seeing that no one answered, the fire in Li Xuan's heart seemed to be on the boil, and he sprang up suddenly. Unable to suppress it, he took two steps forward, kicked a nearby woman to the ground, and slapped the other woman's abdomen. It was another fierce kick, and the woman's body was bowed into a shrimp shape, crying miserably.

"His Majesty!!"

When the voice of Princess Guangde came, Li Yan, who was so vicious, stopped and waved at the woman who came straight past: "Auntie, don't mind this matter, I owe these concubines discipline, I want to practice family law!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and raised his foot to kick the concubine's face with a bang, bruises and bloodstains instantly bloomed on her face, she let out a miserable scream, and passed out immediately.

The younger Wang Cairen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, rushed over and dragged the concubine back, the emperor kicked him on the shoulder, and fell down with the fainted woman.

"Li Xuan, stop!"

Princess Guangde had already come over, she paused heavily on the ground with the crutch in her hand, and sternly reprimanded: "If Your Majesty attacks them again, I will use this crutch to reprimand you for your father!"

"The imperial aunt!"

Li Yan turned around with a ferocious face, and also yelled at the woman sharply: "Don't you ask them why I am so heavy handed? They call other people husbands, how can I bear it!! This is worse than the yellow thief living in the house!" This palace still makes my heart ache! My heart aches!"

Princess Guangde looked at him, pursed her lips tightly, took two deep breaths, raised her finger to point at herself, and eased her tone.

"Auntie knows, Shan'er, you can ask Auntie, let them all go back first."

However, it was Li Xuan who answered her hysterically.

"No!"

"Okay, Auntie will tell you!!"

The moment Princess Guangde said this sentence, a sudden chuckle came from the kneeling concubine over there. The emperor Li Xuan still wanted to speak, but when he heard this laughter, his face became even more angry, and he still Dare to laugh, turned his eyes to look, Wang Cairen, who was kicked to the ground before, stood up unsteadily, clutching his thin shoulders.

Her hair was in a messy bun, there were bloodstains from her gums at the corner of her mouth, and tears were streaming down her eyes, which contained the color of being disappointed with a person.

Choking softly, he opened his mouth slowly.

"Your Highness, why tell him. What is the emperor? He's just a coward. I don't like cowards, I just like men. What's wrong?!"

"You have face! Your family is a famous family, how can you say such words!!" Li Yan blushed, pointing at a woman who was only as tall as his shoulders, and cursed, "Shame your family's face, shame me! face! Come, give her to me"

Before he could finish speaking, the shaking and trembling woman over there laughed, and her laughter gradually grew louder.

Ha ha
Hahaha!
She looked at the man in front of her with wet eyes, the man she had always respected before, now barking like a mad dog, her chest trembled slightly as she laughed.

"Famous family. Your Majesty, my family has long since disappeared. The court could not keep Chang'an. When the rebels entered the city, my family was killed. Even the dog that I raised since childhood was slaughtered and the meat-eating family is gone. , how can I care about losing face? Speaking of losing face, even a bunch of grassroots thieves can't stop the million-dollar master of the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty secretly left the people and my wives and concubines and ran to Shu, Your Majesty! How about face? Those civil and military officials around His Majesty, they lost the city, why don't you ask them if they can lose face, but they challenged me as a woman. In troubled times, Your Majesty wants to save his life shamelessly, why can't we -"

The fig leaf that was tried so hard to cover up was torn apart by a woman blocking so many faces, the surroundings were silent, and even the sound of sobbing fell silent.

"I killed you—"

Dazed Li Xuan's eyes were red, he clenched the hilt of his waist, and pulled out the sword frantically. In the voices of "Your Majesty!"

The torch swayed suddenly, and in an instant, the blood splashed from the white neck and neck, and the soft body fell down reflecting the fire, and the blood slowly flowed out, reflecting a scarlet.

The smell of blood filled the air, causing the remaining concubines to kneel there, staring dumbfounded at the corpse on the ground.

Jiuyu's face was cold, and he just raised his hand to wipe away a drop of blood splashed on his face, but his eyes looked straight at Wang Cairen who was still talking just now, and those words seemed to pierce his heart.

"Your Majesty, you have gone too far!" In front of him, Princess Guangde's chest was heaving violently. These concubines stayed in the same hospital with her for two years. He came to pay her respects, but now he turned into a corpse, which made it difficult for her to accept it for a while.

The whole person was in a daze, but he still clenched his teeth and almost growled.

"Your Majesty doesn't believe them, not even the old man, nor the deceased Gu Changshi, let alone Geng Qing, who was almost spotted by yellow thieves for saving his concubine!"

Over there, a concubine who used to hug the corpse burst into tears, "It's Geng Qing, but in that environment, only by saying it's his woman can you escape from the thieves, but the concubines have never had anything to do with him, they are all innocent .”

"Take them down and hand them over to Dali Temple!"

Li Xuan couldn't listen to it at all right now, he threw away the long sword that was still dripping blood in his hand, raised his hand to summon the guards, and took all the concubines away. He took a look at the sisters lying in the pool of blood, and then walked away with the guards without looking back.

'They didn't even look at me.'

The emperor pursed his lips tightly, looked at the concubines who were going away, and said in a cold voice, "Take my aunt back to rest." After speaking, he asked Shangtian Lingzi to leave. On the way, it took a long time for his face to show emotion. Said: "Geng Qing is not wrong, the emperor's aunt is not wrong, and my beloved concubines are even more right. Only I did something wrong, but it has already happened. I can't admit my mistake in front of so many people. I have lost it." Once you get back your face, you can't lose it again!"

"What your majesty said is that the majesty of the emperor cannot be offended, so how should Geng Qing deal with it?" This was the first time Tian Lingzi got involved in something after returning to the court. He knew that he would take it step by step to regain control of the court.

Li Xuan stopped and looked at the floating ripples in the pool.

"Geng Qing has made great achievements, but his qualifications and prestige are too low, and he is too young to convince the public. After a while, find an excuse to demote him to a lower level, and become a servant, or a scholar of the Imperial Academy, or a Sanqi Xunjian. Class, read more books, just like Yu Mama, be a Qing Dynasty official."

"Here!"

Behind him, Privy Tian smiled and bowed his hands to accept the order.
