Start having a baby!I dressed as the mother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 63 61. The Prey

"The reason for the abolishment?" Wang Zhi murmured.

Emperor Jing stared at Wang Zhi with dark eyes.On the pale face, the sickly flush, and the smile on the corner of the lips made Wang Zhi tremble inwardly.

The emperor is the mastermind, this is asking her to be an accomplice!

But it's about her interests, her son's future, can she not follow?Back then in Shanglinyuan, what Yao Weng instructed was to let her be the empress, so that Liu Xiaozhu would be the heir apparent, so he could establish the crown prince.

"Your Majesty, sister Li..." Wang Zhi declined.

Li Ji has always been proud of being the eldest son of the emperor, and she is Emperor Jing's first love.The eldest son of the emperor, Li Chuming, was justified, and she should be the one who charged forward!Bie Wangzhi was busy for a long time, she was the one who picked the peaches.

"Li Ji, you can be the mother of a family, not a country!" Emperor Jing walked away after finishing speaking.

Empress Bo was married to Liu Qi by Empress Dowager Bo when he was still the crown prince.At the beginning, Empress Lu arranged for Lu's female partner Liu Jianan's routine, and replaced it with Bo's female partner for the crown prince.This kind of political marriage made Liu Qi very disgusted.

Out of filial piety, Liu Qi accepted the arrangement of his grandmother, but he was very indifferent to Mrs. Bo.According to the rules of the harem, the crown prince and the main concubine must eat and live together for two days every five days.

How did Liu Qi eat and live with the princess in the past two days?unknown.Concubine Bo has always had nothing to do, and she can feel her loss and depression from her frowning and indifferent eyes.Wang Zhi even suspected that the Bo family was still perfect.

And Emperor Wen was probably dissatisfied with the arrangement of his mother, Empress Dowager Bo.Lu's relatives interfered in politics, and the consequences caused by it left him with lingering fears.Therefore, Emperor Wen did not express his opinion on the prince Liu Qi's neglect of the princess concubine.

What's more amazing is that Emperor Xiaowen, who is known as "filial piety", personally forced to death his uncle Bo Zhao, the younger brother of his mother, Empress Dowager Bo.

Bo Zhao had the merit of following the dragon, and he came to Beijing to proclaim himself emperor from Daiguo with Emperor Wen.After Emperor Wen came to the throne, he served as the general of chariots and cavalry, and was granted the title of Marquis Zhi.However, he was extravagant, arrogant and lawless, planted cronies and interfered in the government, which aroused Emperor Wen's dissatisfaction.He was convicted of killing an imperial envoy who promoted the New Deal.

"You can't punish a doctor."In order to honor his uncle, Emperor Wen sent ministers to drink with his uncle and persuaded Bo Zhao to commit suicide.Bo Zhao had a strong desire to survive and was unwilling to cooperate, which made the emperor very passive.Emperor Wen ordered that the officials wear mourning clothes and go directly to the mansion to cry and sacrifice, forcing Bo Zhao to commit suicide.

Bo Zhao is the grandfather of the present Empress Bo.Empress Dowager Bo has become famous, and Empress Bo has lost her only support. This post will no longer belong to her.

The tofu soup that was made for the Empress Dowager Bo, isn't the goal of the empress dowager?Wang Zhi had some sympathy for this queen who seemed to have nothing to contend with.

Wang Zhi, who was sitting dumbfounded, was awakened by Liu Xiaozhu's cry for his mother.She hurried to pick up the little piggy.

"Mother..." the little milk boy sobbed and hugged his mother tightly, "I dreamed of my mother and flew away on a lantern! I can't find my mother..."

"No, no! Mother has been with Shi'er all the time!" Pat walked around and put his son to sleep, Wang Zhi put him down and sat by the bed, thinking a lot.

"Ma'am, it's time to rest!" Xue'er took a coat and put it on her.

"Xue'er, go to sleep! Bengong sit down for a while." With a deep sigh, Wang Zhi said to Xue'er.

"Madam, rest early. Xue'er is here to accompany the little prince!"

"Xue'er, has Ning Cheng been released as an official? Hearing from Captain Zhi, His Majesty has made him the captain of Jining County!" Wang Yan asked Xue'er with a smile.

"Mrs. Xie's support!" Xue'er had mixed feelings, "Cousin Ning Cheng didn't want to leave Beijing. The servant girl persuaded him to leave Beijing to take up his post. The future will be long..."

"It's not that Ning Cheng doesn't want to leave Beijing, it's because he is reluctant to leave Xue'er!" Wang Zhi teased in an ambiguous tone, "Then what should we do? Let my sister Xue'er follow him to Jining Mansion?"

"Madam!" Xue'er blushed and laughed angrily, "Xue'er is also reluctant to leave Madam, Princess, and Prince!"

"Yeah, this palace raised Xue'er by my side, and raised her as an old girl! Let's see if Ning Cheng is in a hurry!"

"Madam!" The shy Xue'er lowered her head and fiddled with the box in her hand.

"What is this?" Wang Zhi asked strangely.

"Princess Ping'er didn't like the jewelry that the Empress sent to Ping'er, so she gave it to the servant girl." Xue'er handed the box to Wang Yan.

Wang Zhi refused to answer: "Ping'er is for you, it's yours. The queen still likes Ping'er..." Wang Zhi sighed again.

"Ma'am, don't worry. Maid look, Princess Ping'er doesn't like the empress. Every time the queen gives something to Princess Ping'er, she will just give it to the wet nurses and maids." Xue'er relieved Wang Yan.

"This palace doesn't mean that... Empress, I'm afraid she won't be sitting in this post soon! It's not just Ping'er who doesn't like her? The queen mother and your majesty don't like her either. How many people like her? There is no empress dowager anymore. As a backer."

"The position of empress..." Xue'er immediately came to her senses, and said anxiously, "Ma'am, this empress must belong to you!"

Wang Zhi shook his head: "Such a poor woman has always cared for Ping'er, how can I bear it..."

"Madam! Have you forgotten the suffering of Yongxiang?" Xue'er frowned, with tears in her eyes, "Princess Ping'er was thrown into that cold room just after she was born! Washing drying cloths in the cold winter, eating hair Sour, stinky cold rice..." Xue'er choked up and couldn't continue.

Wang Zhi wiped away tears: "Thanks to sister Xue'er's protection, I survived..."

"Ma'am! This maid is not showing merit to Madam! It's just reminding you that others are not so soft-hearted towards you! If it wasn't for King Liang, Madam, you would have lived and died... Who has ever pitied you?"

"Good sister! Don't talk about it..." Mentioning sad things, mentioning King Liang, Wang Zhi was heartbroken and hurriedly interrupted Xue'er.

"Ma'am!" Xue'er plopped down on her knees, "How did Madam Shen tell you what happened behind her? She blamed you for being so kind and weak!"

Mrs. Shen's face appeared in front of Wang Zhi's eyes, and she seemed to hear her saying: "It's not that you want others to live, and others will keep you alive! Only by becoming a winner can you protect yourself and your children!"

"Xue'er, go and rest! Let Ben Gong, think about it..." Wang Zhi waved at Xue'er, covered his face with his hands, and could not hold back the tears.

Xue'er stood up in disappointment, hesitated to speak, and saw Wang Yan weeping, so she had to back out.

After Xueer went out, Wang Zhi went to the dressing table, took out a box from the corner of the cabinet, and opened it.The cloud-like mutton jade lay quietly inside.

This is when she was thrown into Yongxiang, and King Liang entrusted Yongxiang Order to deliver the message that she was saving her.Relying on this belief, she survived the darkest and bitterest days!

This suet jade is cool in midsummer and warm in winter.Holding Wang Zhi in the palm of his hand, scenes of the past flooded into his heart...

The first encounter, on the way into the palace, seems to have traveled through a thousand years at a glance;
Recognition, the garden of "Emperor Gong Xiangrui", the fairy land in the prosperous age is her crown;

Farewell, she has become the empress dowager Liangdi, his concubine's wife, it's hard to continue her relationship...

The unrequited love made him run around in times of crisis for her, plan carefully, give silently, and have no complaints;

The pain of loving but not daring, let her hide him deep in her heart, like a shell, secreting pain, wrapping it layer by layer, savoring it carefully, over the years, it becomes an incomparable pearl, beautiful because of pain, pity because of treasure... …

But, because of the imperial power and the position of the crown prince, she and he are going to have a falling out?In the face of interests, is there family affection and love?Can you forget the past with a smile?Does he know that she persuaded him to accept his fate so that he can take care of himself?

Outside the window, it started to rain, adding a layer of sadness to this autumn night.

Wang Zhi walked out of the hall and stood on the porch listening to the rain.The night watchman came to greet her, but she waved her away and let the rain fall all over her skirt.

Looking through the darkness of the night, she seemed to see a weeping woman dancing alone...

Don't be sad, life is short, lovesickness is long
love never love meet again really old

Swing the long sword helplessly cut off the thread of love

In this life, I hate the lover's long separation

Don't worry about autumn rain and falling flowers
no pain, no pain, no love, no love

Heartbroken I don't know where to wake up

Sigh at my heart, who will take pity on me

In the next life, I will continue to be with you...

"Madam! Madam! Hurry up and save the little prince!" Xi'er's nurse ran into Tianlu Pavilion in a panic, yelling repeatedly.

Wang Zhi, who was reading a book, was startled, and quickly got up and asked, "What's going on?"

"Xue'er, Miss Xue'er! She took the little prince away!"

"Xue'er," Wang Yan laughed, "Isn't it normal for her to take a pig? Where did she take it?"

"Little prince, she threw the little prince into the water in Shiqu Pavilion!" The wet nurse anxiously gestured incoherently.

"What?!" Wang Zhi rushed out of the door.

Shiqu Pavilion is the national archives of the Western Han Dynasty, which collects pictures and books since the Qin Dynasty.The reason why it is called Shiqu Pavilion is because of its architectural characteristics. The canal is built with polished stones around the pavilion, and water is introduced into the canal to surround the pavilion for fire prevention and anti-theft.

Tianlu Pavilion and Shiqu Pavilion are more than 500 meters apart. When Wang Zhi arrived, the guards and palace people had already surrounded him.

"Xue'er! What are you doing?!" Wang Zhi rushed to the edge of the canal and shouted at Xue'er.

"Mother! Mother!" Seeing her mother open her hand, Liu Xiaozhu cried out, pulling her throat.

The clothes on Xue'er's body were soaked, and she held Liu Zhi who was crying loudly in one hand, and stuck a dagger in the other hand to Liu Zhi's neck wrapped in wet clothes!It was already winter, and the two of them were shivering with cold, which made Wang Zhi feel distressed and weep when he saw it!

"Ma'am!" Xue'er cried with her back to the Shiqu Pavilion, across the two-foot-wide canal, "I'm sorry Ma'am! The queen and Li Niangniang ordered people to arrest the younger brother of the servant girl, and forced the servant girl to kill the little prince! If you don't From now on, the younger brother of the maidservant is dead! The maidservant’s family has only this single seedling, so the maidservant can only be unrighteous!”

"Xue'er, put the pig down quickly! I forgive you for your innocence! Everything should be considered in the long run!" Wang Zhi shouted eagerly.

The people around also threatened Xue'er, Xue'er was flustered with Liu Zhi in her arms, crying bitterly and shaking her head: "No! The maidservant's life is worthless, if she puts down the prince, she can only die!"

The anxious Wang Zhi shouted: "Xue'er! You and I are as close as sisters, and Xi'er is also your relative! How can you be so cruel..."

"Ma'am!" Xue'er knelt across the bank, "Ma'am treats your maidservant as much as a mountain! The crown prince will establish a heir and heir! The empress and Empress Li discuss that the eldest son will be adopted by the empress! The little prince is smart and favored by His Majesty, and that is the only obstacle! To protect my family's only bloodline, the servant girl can only do as they say!" Xue'er burst into tears after speaking.

Wang Zhi's canthus was about to burst!

Empress Dowager Dou's words "Yin Dao kisses each other" has attracted so many monsters and monsters, they are secretly plotting, keeping an eye on the crown prince!She is still hesitating between being kind and soft, but she has become someone else's prey!

"Xue'er!" Wang Zhi yelled angrily, "You have been forced by others, and I forgive you for your innocence! The laws of heaven are clear, and the wicked will have their own retribution! You must not do foolish things! Put down the pig!"

The guards have fully drawn their arrows and bows and surrounded them on all sides.Emperor Jing also rushed over when he heard about it.

"No shooting! Don't hurt me!" Wang Zhi shouted to the guards.

"Baby maid!" Emperor Jing saw his little pig in Xue'er's arms, cold and frightened, crying hoarsely, and couldn't help being furious, "Don't you dare to touch my prince, aren't you afraid of punishing the nine clans?!"

"Xue'er, you are a weak woman, how can you fight against these many guards..." Wang Yan begged tearfully, "Let's put you down, let him go! I forgive you for your innocence! I will keep your family safe!"

The trembling Xue'er finally couldn't hold on, and sat down on the ground: "Your Majesty! Madam! I know my mistake! I know my mistake..."

A guard had already swam over into the water, picked up Liu Zhi, and tied Xue'er up.

Wrapping the lost Liu Xiaozhu tightly in warm clothes, Wang Zhi plopped and knelt in front of Emperor Jing: "Your Majesty! The injustice has its head, and the debt has its owner! Xue'er has been coerced, and I beg Your Majesty to investigate the root cause and forgive her for her innocence!"

Emperor Jing's face was uncertain, he looked at Wang Zhi, then at Liu Xiaozhu who was still sobbing in her arms, and said to Zongzheng beside him: "I pass on my edict, all relevant people, etc., should be arrested and thrown into Yongxiang! "

"Ma'am! I know my mistake! Ma'am, save me! Ma'am, save me!" Xue'er was bound and dragged away, and she turned her face and yelled at Wang Yan.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Zhi cried and begged Emperor Jing, "The concubine promised to forgive her innocence, and she didn't hurt Xi'er!"

"Concubine Ai takes care of the pig, hurry back to the palace and let the imperial doctor prescribe medicine to suppress the shock!" Emperor Jing didn't respond, turned and left.

Back to Yilan Hall, Wang Hao had been waiting for a long time.Seeing that Liu Xiaozhu was safe and sound, he felt relieved.

But Wang Zhi was very anxious and sent someone to Yongxiang to inquire about Xueer's situation.

"Ma'am, my servant Zhidu is ordered by the Holy Spirit to bring guards to guard the Yilan Palace!" Zhidu shouted outside the door.

"General Zhi!" Wang Zhi felt relieved when he heard Zhi Du's voice.

See eight guards lined up outside the hall, guarding the surroundings.

"Ma'am! This is Ning Cheng!" Zhi Du brought a tall and mighty guard into the door, and bowed down.

"Ning Cheng!" Surprised, Wang Yan turned to Wang Hao and said, "Go back to the palace. You are fine!"

Seeing this, Wang Hao hurriedly saluted and took the maid away.

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Ning Cheng kowtowed and shouted: "The villain pays homage to Madam! I beg Madam to save Cousin Xue'er quickly!"

"Ning Cheng, I'm asking you, do you know about Xue'er being coerced?"

"The villain knows! Xue'er has told the villain! What the queen gave to Xue'er was poison. Xue'er discussed with the villain, publicized the matter, brought down the queen and Li Ji, and eliminated the opponent for the wife and the little prince! "Ning Cheng replied.

"I already know that Xue'er will never betray me!" Wang Zhi cried with relief.

"Ma'am, Yao Weng also knows about this matter. Keep all the secrets! Now the eldest son of the emperor, Liu Rong, is going to cry and beg Empress Dowager Dou, saying that his mother, Li Ji, doesn't know about this. Empress Dowager Dou has ordered Li Ji to leave Yongxiang and return to the palace!" Zhi all frowned.

"Ma'am!" Ning Cheng cried, "Cousin Xue'er's life and death are uncertain now! Please help Madam! It was originally planned to publicize the collusion between the queen and Li Ji, so as to keep the little prince safe. Now Queen Mother Dou let Li Ji out, sister Xue'er My brother's life is in danger!"
