Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

The King of Yue performed a hero's rescue of a beauty in front of the emperor.

Under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes, the King of Yue's arrow shot steadily, hitting the target with ten rings.

No wonder the Queen Mother always liked him very much, and even the late Emperor praised him many times.

In comparison, the emperor seemed a bit mediocre.

At least this night, the King of Yue stole the spotlight.

The emperor looked at Du Jiyan with a sullen expression, looking stingy.

"If you don't sleep well in the clothing bureau, what are you doing here?"

"Come put out the fire." Du Jiyan lowered his head.

Come put out the fire.

Oh, woman.

"Are my women used to put out fires? You'd better go back and stay at the door."

The emperor said the words "my woman" with gritted teeth.

When it comes to "If you don't leave the door, you can't take two steps forward." The emperor also emphasized his tone.

Really feudal.

There is no way to go out without taking two steps.

Died early in the morning.

No, it’s Chen State now, not the Qing Dynasty yet.

Chen State was a feudal society.

The emperor is particularly feudal tonight.

Then go back.

In case the emperor is unhappy.If he is not happy, no one can be happy.

The fire in the cold palace went out.

The secret guards sneaked into the cold palace and began to search for those who survived the disaster.

After searching around, nothing was found, but Ming Chang Zai's body was taken out.

Although Ming Changzai's body was still soft, it was already cold.

There are many crazy and foolish people in Leng Gong, but this time it was the clear-headed Ming Changzai who died.

Ming Changzai was pregnant with Chen Guo's only heir. She died, and Chen Guo was temporarily extinct.

Normally, the emperor should be grief-stricken.

But there was no trace of sadness on the emperor's face.

Maybe the emperor is neither sad nor happy.

"Have you found out the identity of that man?" The emperor came to the gangster and tugged on his collar. There was a small bright moon tattoo on his neck.

Gao Rang shook his head.

"Wuwuwu, don't kill me." A small voice came from the side hall.

The secret guard quickly brought an unkempt maid.

It is the lotus pod that always serves Ming.

Over the years, she has been serving Ming Chang.Ming Changzai was relegated to the cold palace, and she was also there to serve him.

Lianpeng seemed to be greatly frightened and collapsed on the ground crying.

The emperor ordered people to bring the lotus pods back to the Palace of Supreme Harmony.

It was already dawn.

The sky is slightly green and the white clouds are slightly billowy.The emperor asked Gao Rang to guard the door and not allow anyone to go in and disturb him.

"Tell me what you know."

The lotus pod trembled: "Ming often couldn't sleep at night, staring at the beams in a daze. Listening to the rustling of the beams, the servant thought there was a mouse, and was a little scared. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, there was a fire in the cold palace. The servant wanted to go Calling people to put out the fire, Ming is always there but not allowed.”

"Why?"

"Because Ming Changzai's cousin is in the cold palace."

"You clearly know that she is not Ming Chang's cousin." The emperor said coldly: "Tell the truth."

"Ming Chang Zai's cousin is actually a man. She is Ming Chang Zai's sweetheart, Hua Changsheng. I heard that he used to do tricks on the street, sell children's medicine, and also set up a stall to sell fragrant powder. How good is it? He was good at self-defense and eloquent. Ming Changzai liked him before he entered the palace. Later, when Ming Changzai entered the palace, they couldn't see him, so they came up with an idea to have Hua Changsheng pretend to be a woman and lie that he was Ming Changzai. My cousin often gave Ming Changzai some fragrant powder and jewelry. Because the ladies liked to use the fragrant powder he gave, they allowed him to enter the palace from time to time, and he had private meetings with Ming Changzai when he entered the palace."

"What does tonight's matter have to do with Hua Changsheng?"

"The fire was set by Hua Changsheng. Ever since Ming Chang was thrown into the cold palace by the emperor, she had been in a bad mood and felt that her life could not go on. Hua Changsheng told her that it would be better to set a fire and burn the cold palace and take advantage of the chaos. Wouldn't it be a good idea to take Ming Changzai out of the palace? By then the corpses in the cold palace will be burnt, and no one will know that Ming Changzai is out of the palace. So Ming Changzai will wait patiently. According to the plan, Hua Changsheng The main hall was lit. The smoke in the main hall made Ming Changzai unable to breathe. He begged Hua Changsheng to save him, but Hua Changsheng said, "

"say what?"

"Hua Changsheng said that Ming Chang was pregnant with the emperor's child and wanted to elope with him to make him his father. It was simply shameless. He had received a lot of money from Ming Chang over the years and had already bought land and married a wife. , I still have contact with Ming Chang Zai, I just want to get some benefits from her. Now that Ming Chang Zai is in such a state of decline, he has no use value. It is better to die. Listening to what he said, Ming Chang Zai is shouting to see her. Your Majesty, Hua Changsheng strangled Ming Changzai's neck tightly, and Ming Changzai could only breathe heavily. She couldn't stand the thick smoke, so she died like this. When the slave girl saw all this, Hua Changsheng wanted to kill someone and silence her, so the slave girl ran away. You have to be quick. The smoke is so thick that you have to hide in a small cabinet to escape."

The candle burned out.

It's already bright.

The emperor looked a little haggard.

He was leaning against the heavy curtain, and his boots were not removed.

The past events are vivid in my mind, and I still remember when Ming Chang entered the palace for the first time, with red circles under his eyes.

I thought she was reluctant to leave home, but it turned out that she was reluctant to leave Hua Changsheng.

The emperor called Gao Rang in. He wanted to reward the maid with a few taels of silver and send her out of the palace, but Lian Peng vomited blood and collapsed to the ground.

Large mouthfuls of blood spurted out, staining the corners of the emperor's robe.

"Your Majesty, Lianpeng is injured." Gao Rang opened Lianpeng's clothes. There was a hole in her left waist, like a dagger, and blood was pouring out.

After a while, the lotus pod died.

"The lotus pod knows too much, and it may not be a good thing to be alive." Gao Rang carefully dragged the lotus pod away, and then personally wiped away the blood stains in the Taihe Palace.

It's morning time.

The emperor decided to call it quits for the day.

The ministers of the previous dynasty discussed it.

After all, Chen Guo has been open to the public since the late emperor, and the emperor is benevolent. Ministers dare to speak out without fear of offending the emperor.

"The emperor probably favored another young master, so that he neglected the government. Mr. Du Zhong Du, if your daughter is in the harem, please don't do it."

Du Zhongcai didn't want to take the blame: "My daughter is still doing laundry in the clothes bureau."

"Master Shi, your daughter"

"I am the emperor's master. Is it possible that the daughter I have trained does not know how to behave properly? Mr. Zhang is unfounded." Mr. Shi was angry. After being in the palace for so many days, his daughter Shi Jing did not even touch the emperor's bed and had to endure criticism.

"I heard that Chang Zai died last night due to an incident in the cold palace. The emperor must have dismissed the court for this reason. Even though the emperor is young, he is very affectionate."

The emperor lay on his back and looked at the Yuanyang purse beside the bed quietly.

Ming Chang had a peanut tattoo on his neck, and the emperor once asked what it meant.

Ming Chang said, "Peanuts have many seeds, which means endless life."
All the women in the palace prayed for children.

This is not too much.

The emperor actually believed what Ming Changzai said.

Now it seems that I am still young and do not understand the meaning of this.

Ming Chang Zai's sweetheart is called Hua Changsheng. Peanut, doesn't it imply the name of Hua Changsheng?
Hua Changsheng has a tattoo of the bright moon on his neck, and Ming often goes by his maiden name, He Yueming.
