The emperor was stunned. He looked at Yubi in disbelief. Looking at this woman who first appeared in his life, he couldn't believe that Yubi would betray him. After a long while, he seemed to be crazy. He laughed maniacally: "Okay, okay, you are all in the same group... The front court and the harem are all in your hands, very good..." There was a vicious light in his eyes, and his words did not match his words. He asked politely, "Is it the Queen Mother or the Queen Mother?"

Yubi knew the emperor very well, so she naturally knew what he was asking at this moment: "No one ordered me to do this, but me." There seemed to be cold ice in her eyes, forcing the emperor to have no way out, "You Shuyao should not be let down."

The emperor grabbed the yellow belt's hand and gave it a severe slap. Countless words rolled in his throat, but not a single word came out.

At this moment, the emperor suddenly remembered the scene when he saw the queen for the first time.She stood under the peach blossom tree, tiptoeing, reaching out to pick a peach blossom, but she couldn't reach it. He stepped forward and picked one for her. When they looked back and met each other, he clearly heard his own words. Heartbeat - He once really liked Shuyao, but the love between a man and a woman could not match the majestic imperial power. He was trapped on the cold golden knot, and gradually forgot how to love someone.

The cold wind outside the window was so cold that the emperor was crying and complaining. In the empty palace, only the emperor's weak breathing was heard. He struggled and struggled, and finally gave up everything, leaving only endless unwillingness and resentment: "I... I am the only emperor of all time..." He collapsed on the bed without any strength and watched Yubi writing the edict of succession on the imperial edict one stroke at a time.

The emperor was not taken seriously when he was young, so he never had a master to teach him his homework. Yubi could be regarded as his first teacher. She even taught calligraphy. Therefore, if she imitated the emperor's handwriting, it could almost be fake.After she finished writing the imperial edict smoothly, she walked up to the emperor with the red seal, forced the red seal into his hand, and pressed a bright red mark on the imperial edict.

"Does Your Majesty still remember the booklet Concubine Zhe mentioned?" Yubi stared directly into the Emperor's eyes, "That booklet has been burned to ashes by my concubine."

The emperor opened his eyes, not knowing where to look, and his long breathing slowly disappeared into nothingness.

Until his death, he did not close his eyes.

On July 28, the fourth year of Qianlong's reign, Hongli died at the age of [-]. His posthumous title was Fa Tian Long Yun Zhi Cheng Xian Jue Ti Yuan Li Ji Fu Wen Fen Wu Qin Ming Filial Kindness Sheng Chun Emperor, and his temple name Gaozong.

On July 27 of the same year, Zhang Tingyu read the edict of passing the throne in the Yangxin Hall. On the first day of August, the emperor's younger brother Honghao ascended the throne at the age of 11.

On the day of the enthronement ceremony, it was cloudless and the sky was clear blue.The officials are shouting long live, looking forward to ushering in a wise king. The people are celebrating together, looking forward to ushering in a prosperous age. In the flourishing flower scene, An Lingrong and Zhen Huan sit on the left and right behind the dragon chair, through the Drawing the curtain, I watched Honghao walk up to the Tai Chi Hall step by step, watched the courtiers kneeling and bowing three times, watched the light and mist-like sunlight shrouding the Forbidden City in a golden glow...

So far, the dust has settled.

There had been chaos in the harem for several months, but the late emperor's concubines finally moved all of them to Ning'an Palace in accordance with the imperial decree. It was a remote palace near the Leng Palace. It had been in disrepair for a long time. This time, it was only slightly repaired. , it still looked dilapidated, but they had no choice but to ruin their beauty for the rest of their lives in these ruins.

However, An Lingrong's Cining Palace was extensively renovated. She took back Roujia and Rouyi from Ningshou Palace, and rejected Zhang Tingyu's suggestion that she listen to politics behind the curtain. Zhen Huan also pretended to be sick, and only took care of Lingxi without worrying. The moon finally reunited with her on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Eniang!" After several years of not seeing each other, Longyue has grown up, but her admiration and dependence on Zhen Huan has not changed. As soon as she entered the palace, she flew into Zhen Huan's arms.

Zhen Huan's heart suddenly hurt, she hugged Wuyue tightly and shed tears.

"It's a good thing to see each other again, why are you crying?" Concubine Jinggui wiped the corners of her eyes, her voice slightly choked with sobs, and Concubine Xinggui echoed beside her.

Roujia and Rouyi held hands around Haoyue. Lingxi was slightly older and took Haoyue's hand.

Seeing the children as close as before, An Lingrong couldn't help but blush. Only she knew how many hard nights she and Zhen Huan had spent for this reunion.

"To the Empress Dowager, Concubine Yu wishes to see you." Dill combed her hair into a bun, and everyone in the palace should respectfully call her aunt when they saw her.

An Lingrong glanced at Zhen Huan, winked at her reassuringly, and whispered, "The Ai family will meet her in the side hall."

"Yes." Dill took the order and stepped back.

The sunlight was cut into lonely fragments by the shadows of the trees, and dots of light fell on the couch. The breeze blew calmly through the window eaves, and the window clicked lightly, accompanied by the slow footsteps of Princess Yu, which seemed to hit her heart. Another sound.

"Concubine, please give my regards to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be safe and sound." Princess Yu weakened, but in the next moment she raised her sharp eyes and drew a sharp golden light from her palm.

An Lingrong sat firmly on the couch, sipping tea slowly and slowly. Before the golden hairpin could get even half an inch closer to her, Concubine Yu was neatly grabbed by the shoulders and pushed to the ground by Dill. She took just a few breaths. When the tea lid was put back on, the matter was settled.She raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Yu, and said calmly: "The Ai family knows what you want, but Yonglian is not the one who moved Yonglian." Concubine Yu stared at An Lingrong with hatred in her eyes. The intention is as strong as a knife, cutting people's lives with it.

"The Ai family and the Queen Mother only did one thing, which was to give Hongli the medicine to kill him after he ascended the throne. They did nothing else." An Lingrong's face was as calm as water, and he raised his hand to signal Dill to let go of Concubine Yu. , a trace of sadness spread in his eyes, "What happened to Yong Lian was indeed an accident."

"I don't believe it..." Concubine Yu pursed her lips.

An Lingrong looked sadly at the blooming chrysanthemums outside the window. Longyue Lingxi and Roujia Rouyi were having fun in the distance. Zhen Huan and others were also laughing and chatting beside them. Those voices floated in the wind, which seemed so unreal. The sunlight is so quiet, as if this moment has been engraved into eternity, and in the palace, the light is dim, as if it has been covered with a dark veil, and even the bright sunshine looks so dim when it shines in.

She gently blinked her misty eyes, and a faint white shadow blurred in front of her eyes, and said in a daze: "Haiyuan, I know what you really care about is Shuyao's death, but her death cannot be blamed on For a certain person, the feudal ethics, the superiority of concubines, these thousands of years of regulations are the main culprits that killed her - you and I are the tragedies of this era." The pain in An Lingrong's eyes was deeply touched. Liao Haiyuan, "Women in this world have their wings broken when they are born. They spend their whole lives entangled with another person. They live and die following men. No matter how noble they are, they cannot escape the prison called 'men'." .”

The light in Haiyuan's eyes slowly extinguished. She stood there blankly, her hands hanging down weakly. An Lingrong's voice seemed to float from a far away place: "The Ai family enjoys honor now because of Emperor Sejong." How could my favor and the benevolence and filial piety of today’s saints ever be because of myself?”

Under the torrent of the times, they have never been able to help themselves - if it is a prosperous time, they are the icing on the cake, if it is a troubled time, they are a sin that brings disaster to the country and the people.

In the harem, they fought and fought day after day for the king's love, but in the end their dreams came to nothing because they had never lived for themselves.

An Lingrong stood up, reached out and gently held Hai Yuan's hand, and said softly: "Hai Yuan, let yourself go. This life is already so difficult, why push yourself to the edge again."

The golden hairpin suddenly fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Haiyuan collapsed to the ground and finally couldn't help crying loudly.

The cry is sad, like the cold wind of the wilderness blowing into the heart.

This is how their lives ended.

In the second year after the emperor ascended the throne, the reign name was officially changed to Tianqi.

In the second year of Tianqi, the emperor put down the rebellion of the Miao people, and in the same year he put down Jinchuan.

In the 12th year of the Apocalypse, Burma was defeated and surrendered.
