Chapter 165 King Qin's Desire

A month later, Li Xu went to Dezhou to take office.

Zhang Xiulan didn't follow, but before Li Xu left, Zhang Xiulan gave Li Xuna a concubine.

Li Yulou was not involved in this kind of thing, but he heard about it from Chuntao.

Because that concubine was Chuntao's little sister, they entered Li's house together.She served Li Yulou, and that little maid served Zhang Xiulan, she was Zhang Xiulan's most trusted person.

"Miss, don't try to trick me." Chuntao stared at Li Yulou and said.

"What idea?" Li Yulou asked.

"Of course it's the idea of ​​giving me to the young master as a concubine. I won't die." Chuntao said seriously.

"That's only if the young master likes you. Do you think the young master can like you?" Li Yulou rolled his eyes at Chuntao.

"He doesn't like me, and I still don't like him. Anyway, let me make it clear to you, don't get me, don't let the young master go to work abroad in the future. If you don't want to go, you will give me to the young master and let me serve you." He, I don't serve him." Chuntao said with a look of disgust.

Li Yulou smiled, "Maybe you are the one who dislikes Shi Yu so much in this world."

However, Li Yulou felt that Zhang Xiulan gave Li Xu a concubine. Anyway, both of them want to do what they like to do, so that they don't interfere with each other, and they can work on their own.

It has been more than three months since the emperor retried the Dezhou case.

The case in Texas is also drawing to a close.

A group of officials from Dezhou were escorted back to Beijing.

Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice jointly tried the case. The facts of the case were already clear and the evidence was solid. The trial was very fast.After the trial, the crime will be punished.Dozens of heads were chopped off.Dozens of families suffered as a result, their children were enslaved or sent to the frontier.

The emperor's prestige suddenly soared, and many students wrote articles to praise the emperor, and the emperor became an eternal king in the hearts of the people.

Although King Yan was not punished, he was also locked up and prevented from leaving the mansion. The emperor sent Jinwu Guards to guard him strictly.

Because many things in Dezhou involved King Yan, what the emperor couldn't tolerate the most was King Yan's secrecy.

Moreover, King Yan's power is actually intertwined in the court.

This shocked the emperor.

He was still alive, and his sons had already begun to cultivate their own influence. Many courtiers were no longer loyal to him, but loyal to his prince.

This is the most intolerable for him.

So the court also carried out a cleanup. Although not many people were beheaded, many people were transferred to foreign posts or simply placed in positions without real power.

After all this tossing, King Yan was completely hopeless.

King Yan was severely suppressed, and King Qin was very happy. Many courtiers wrote letters suggesting that King Qin be the crown prince.

King Qin seemed to be watching the situation continue to develop, and did not stop it.

"Do you think it's appropriate to recommend you as the crown prince now?" The Empress looked at King Qin and asked coldly.

"The third child is finished, and I am the only adult prince left. If you don't make me the prince, who else can you make the prince?" Qin Wang looked at the empress and asked.

"There are fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth children below... Although they have not yet grown up, your Majesty's spring and autumn are at their peak, and they will all grow up in five or six years.

You feel that you are bound to win, but I don't think so.

I still advise you to keep a low profile.This time King Yan was not because of how much money he had corrupted in Dezhou, but because he cultivated his power in the court, and these powers made the emperor jealous. "

Qin Wang was a little disgusted, frowned and looked at the empress, "Mother, you have lived too cautiously all your life."

"Originally, my voice was very high. In the past, the emperor favored the third child. Now that the third child is completely finished, I am the only one who is qualified to take this position." King Qin said with dark eyes.

The empress sighed, and said no more, "But I still advise you, it's best to keep a low profile recently, and not to communicate and contact with outsiders so frequently."

"Let me be straightforward. The first thing you need to do now is to go to your grandfather's tomb and visit his grave for half a year. In this way, your crown prince position may be stabilized."

King Qin gave a cold snort of disdain.

King Qin did not intend to leave the palace when he left the empress's bedroom, but slowly walked around the back garden to the imperial concubine's bedroom.

The emperor put King Yan in confinement and also ignored the noble concubine. He didn't see the noble concubine for more than three months, but began to favor the concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu is the concubine of the sixth prince, and the sixth prince is also the smartest among the little princes.

The emperor favored concubine Shu because of the six princes, seeing that the crown prince was not in Qin Wang's pocket.

But the king of Qin didn't take this sixth younger brother seriously at all, he was just a yellow-haired boy.

The imperial concubine is naturally not doing well recently, and she feels particularly uneasy.King Yan was locked up in confinement, and she lacked support.His cousin Yong'an Hou also died, and he lost another support.And the emperor's favor is her biggest reliance, but now the emperor is obviously very indifferent to her.

What made her even more uneasy was King Qin, because once King Qin became the crown prince, he would rule the world in the future, and there would be no way for him and King Yan to survive.

Since she returned to the palace, she has been against the queen, and she knows how many parts and favors the queen has been robbed.

But now, every day in the court, there are ministers submitting papers, wanting to make King Qin the crown prince.

Such a day made the noble concubine feel like the meat on the chopping board would be slaughtered by others at any time.

"Your Majesty, King Qin is here." The servant girl reported to the imperial concubine with a surprised expression on her face.

"What did he come for? Did he come to humiliate me? I didn't see him, so I said I was resting." The imperial concubine said with disgust.

The servant girl agreed, turned around and left, and came back after a while and said, "The King of Qin is respectful, saying that he just wants to greet your mother, and he will leave after greeting, there is no other meaning."

The imperial concubine frowned, thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

The servant girl went to tell King Qin.The imperial concubine changed into a set of homely casual clothes, her hair was pulled up loosely, she did not wear the crown of the imperial concubine empress, and her face was only lightly powdered. The light make-up made her look haggard. She wanted to show weakness to the King of Qin.

Although she was not in the same generation as King Qin, she was a woman after all, and King Qin was also an adult man, no man would harshly treat a woman who showed weakness to him.

"See mother and concubine." The moment King Qin saw the noble concubine Niao Niao, he froze there.

This is the woman he has dreamed of, and he has fallen in love with this woman since he first saw the imperial concubine when he was very young.Her every move, every frown and smile, every movement, every behavior made him itchy.

But he knew that there was a huge gap between them, and that was the emperor.

So he raised many women who looked similar to the imperial concubine in his Zhuangzi.He also cultivated them little by little, letting them learn the appearance and behavior of noble concubines, but they were all imitations, none of them could get into the bone marrow, they were all fake tricks.

This made him hate these women even more.But he was even more hungry for the concubine in his heart.

He vowed to get the imperial concubine.

This almost became the biggest motivation for him to become the prince and sit on the throne.

Originally, he thought that he was about to take the position of prince, but the emperor refused to allow him to be the prince for a long time.

He really couldn't wait any longer.

The noble concubine was a little surprised, she didn't expect that King Qin's attitude towards her was still as good as before.

"Why does His Highness King Qin have time to come and see the palace today?" The noble concubine sat down and said.

"I have time every day. It's just that the concubine mother was too busy before, so I can't come in casually to visit. Recently, I heard that the concubine mother is in a bad mood, so I came to have a look. Is the concubine mother really thin?" King Qin said with a smile .

"His Highness Xie still remembers me..." The imperial concubine's expression dimmed a bit.

Her brows were lowered, and there was a touch of sadness in her eyes, which was charming.

Qin Wang pinched himself fiercely with his fingers, otherwise he felt that he would not be able to control himself and wanted to pity the imperial concubine.

"Mother and Concubine, can I have a few words with you alone." King Qin said.

The imperial concubine was a little surprised. Although they were mother and son in name, they were not related by blood after all, and King Qin was an adult man, which was a bit against the rules.

But the imperial concubine thought about it, and nodded in agreement, then waved her hand to send the people around her away.

"People have gone out, what does His Highness King Qin want to say to me?" The noble concubine raised her eyebrows and asked King Qin.

"The concubine mother is not doing well during this time. The emperor deliberately alienated the concubine mother and kept a distance, but he kept pampering concubine Shu." King Qin said.

When the imperial concubine heard what King Qin said, she lowered her brows, and a melancholy expression swept over her forehead, "Did your Highness come here today to deliberately humiliate me?"

"How could I humiliate my concubine?" Qin Wang moved towards the chair beside the concubine, and the distance between her and the concubine was only a few feet away.

The imperial concubine was a little nervous, but she still maintained her original posture and did not let her nervousness show.

"My concubine actually doesn't care too much about whether the emperor favors you or not, but you care more about what to do in the future? Now that the third brother has disappointed the emperor to the utmost, the possibility of taking the crown prince is very slim, and I've almost secured the crown prince position." King Qin was smiling all over his face, but his voice was kept very low.

King Qin's words undoubtedly touched the imperial concubine's heart, and her expression changed again and again.

"I came here to tell my concubine that you don't have to worry about me being the crown prince, or that I won't do anything to harm my concubine if I take up any position in the future. You don't have to worry about it."

"Really?" The imperial concubine's eyes were full of surprises. Although she couldn't figure out why the King of Qin would say such things to her and make such a guarantee, this was what she expected in her heart.

Worries about the future have made her describe herself as haggard recently. She doesn't think about tea and food, and can't sleep well at night. This kind of life is too difficult.

She has experienced this kind of life before, that is, when the emperor just took the position of prince, and the first emperor wanted to send away all the women around the prince, she had no expectations for the future.

So at that time, he committed himself to the Marquis of Yong'an, and finally became pregnant with King Yan.

Fortunately, it was because of this child that she kept her place in the emperor's heart until seven years later, she returned to the capital from Xiuzhou again.

If there is no current Yan Wang, she is likely to be forgotten by the emperor like other women of the emperor at that time, and finally died outside.

"Of course it's true." King Yan smiled and nodded in satisfaction when he saw the noble concubine's reaction.

"Why?" the princess asked.

Now that it's been said, she wants to figure it out thoroughly so that she won't think about it.

"Because..." King Qin's lips moved, and he stared at the imperial concubine with burning eyes, which were full of desire.

The imperial concubine is from here.At this time, she vaguely felt that King Qin's feelings for her were the kind of feelings that a man wants to possess a woman.

The imperial concubine was so frightened that her back went cold, she subconsciously stood up and wanted to escape.

But her body was hugged by King Qin, and then pressed into his arms, and then a kiss blocked her lips.

The noble concubine stared at King Qin with her big eyes wide open in horror, but she did not expect that she really dared to make a move.

King Qin tore off the concubine's clothes, and a pair of big and powerful palms covered the concubine's skin, causing the concubine's body to tremble and her breathing almost stopped.

The imperial concubine hadn't felt the impact of such a powerful palm on her skin and muscles for many years, such a shock and agitation.

Seeing that the noble concubine was no longer struggling, King Qin picked her up by the waist and walked towards the Nuan Pavilion behind with big strides.

"With today's incident, we will die together." King Qin said.

"You are crazy. I am the emperor's concubine, your emperor's woman, how could you do this to me?" said the concubine.

"When you were seven years old, you just returned to the capital, and I fell in love with you the first time I saw you, and I couldn't help it.

Over the years, my love for you has not diminished, but has grown day by day.

All I do is to get you.What kind of throne... I don't care about it at all. " Qin Wang said.

Now that the matter has come to this point, the imperial concubine has nothing to say, but she feels a lot of satisfaction in her heart, because King Qin has liked her for so many years.

Moreover, Qin Wang is still so young, which makes her an old lady, how can she not feel agitated in her heart.

So the imperial concubine was half-hearted and refused at the beginning, and later used her seasoned experience to completely conquer King Qin.She herself also got the madness and intoxication that she hadn't experienced in nearly ten years.

*
When the imperial concubine and King Qin were in the warm compartment of the imperial concubine, the emperor suddenly thought of Meng Shiyu in the imperial study.

"How is that Meng Shiyu recently?" the emperor asked suddenly.

"The slave didn't inquire about it for the past two days, but the slave made a special trip to inquire a few days ago. Since entering the prison of Dali Temple, Mr. Meng has been very honest. Reading, eating, exercising, and writing properly..." Eunuch Li replied truthfully.

"It seems that his temper is almost tempered. Go ahead and pass on my oral order to let him come to the imperial study to meet me." The emperor said.

Eunuch Li agreed, turned around and went down to order someone to deliver the decree.

Wu Que happened to be in Dali Temple, and when he heard that his father-in-law had come to deliver an order to Meng Shiyu, he followed him into the cell.

"Master Meng, Your Majesty wants to see you." The father-in-law entered the cell and said to him when he saw Meng Shiyu sitting upright writing.

Meng Shiyu nodded, put down the pen in his hand calmly, collected the written words, stood up and straightened his robes.

"Eunuch, can you delay a little bit of time, I will clean myself up. It is really rude to see His Majesty with such appearance." Meng Shiyu said politely to the little eunuch who delivered the decree.

The little eunuch nodded, "Your Majesty Meng..."

When he came, Eunuch Li told him that Meng Shiyu could do whatever he wanted, so he could do whatever he wanted, and His Majesty was not in such a hurry to see him.
