The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 97 Extra: Shen Xiao Chapter [-]

Before he ascended the throne, the eldest brother, who had been dormant for a long time, rushed into the palace and caught Xichang by surprise.

Xichang narrowly won, but suffered heavy losses.

Before Jiang Liu had time to deal with the Zhenguo government, he was impeached by Cao Xiangmeng and Da Sima, who led the civil servants and military generals.

He was put on a rack and roasted.I felt a little unspeakably happy in my heart.

It didn't take long for Cao and Meng's efforts to bear fruit, and Jiang Liu was sent to Dali Temple to await trial.

I dragged my tired body back to the bedroom and saw Jiang Qingyue lying naked on my dragon couch.

Lively, fragrant, and pitiful.

Not indifferent.

After half a year of not seeing each other, she can still make me lose control, both mentally and physically.

However, her father used me and forced me.

She abandoned me and left me just because I wanted to be the emperor.

These are secondary.

But the situation in the DPRK simply did not allow me to make any other choice.

Being an emperor doesn't mean that you can have the final say on everything. At least, I, as the emperor, can't for the time being.
-
It was clear that as long as Jiang left a word, Jiang Qingyue could understand my difficulties and understand that I was not unwilling to save his father, but that I was helpless.

But in that cramped cell, Jiang Liu said to me: "Since you are still at the mercy of others and have no ability to protect her, there is no need to explain to her. Send her away from Jinling and let her give up on you." good."

What he said made sense and was enough to convince me to shut up.

But I don't want to accept my fate: "I will send her away from Aurous Hill, but it does not necessarily mean that she will give up on me."

I believe that as long as she understands my difficulties, she will be willing to wait for me for at least two or three years until I am able to protect her.

Jiang Liu glanced at me: "No need."

He is not willing to let his daughter wait for an unknown result for me, but I am not willing to do so.

"You have also experienced what it is like to lose the person you love," I said sincerely. "I heard your step by step to get to where you are today. I want to stay with her forever and grow old together."

I don't expect much, that's all.

Jiang Liu was silent for a moment and said: "Even if she is as favored as Concubine Chen, she will end up being assassinated to death. If Qingyue's mother is still alive, I don't want her to be trapped in the palace for the rest of her life."

I get it.

"You never intended to promise her to me, did you?"

"It turned out that I sincerely wished you two well," Jiang Liu said frankly, "Now that the matter is over, let's forget about it."

He probably originally thought that if I was just the Ninth Prince, or the Ninth King, and he, as the Governor of Xichang, could protect his daughter all her life, I would not dare to betray her.

But if I were the emperor and he became a prisoner, things would be different.

He and his wife were persecuted by the powerful, so much so that he felt conflicted on behalf of his daughter.

I stood up suddenly.

"You asked me to be the emperor!"

"Yes."

"If that's the case, then tell me, why did I get to where I am today?"

I stared at him with eyes wide open.

Jiang Liu said calmly: "To be the emperor."

Everyone in the world would think so, including her.
-
After Jiang Liu lost power, Meng Zhen was especially mean to Jiang Qingyue.

She actually stopped Jiang Qingyue in the palace, made two servants hold Jiang Qingyue down and kneel down, and talked nonsense to Jiang Qingyue.

"The Emperor said that he was disgusted when he saw you and disgusted when he thought of your identity. Being with you in the past was just a temporary solution. He never liked you at all."

Jiang Qingyue sneered at her: "You mean, the emperor is a coward? Do you dare to say this?"

Meng Zhen raised her hand to hit her in the face.

Jiang Qingyue smiled and said: "You are angry because of shame?"

Meng Zhen's hand finally fell, and she was held down tightly and slapped one after another.

Until her mouth was scarlet, Meng Zhen pointed to the scar on her forehead and said coldly: "If you dare to enter the palace again to ask for an audience with the emperor, I will not only leave you this scar, I will destroy your face."

And I could only allow her to come in after the guards at the palace door changed shifts late at night.

I touched her red and swollen face, but she avoided my hand and I hugged her tightly.

She was as motionless as a piece of wood and allowed me to hold her tightly.

"Don't be stupid again and don't come to the palace again. If you believe me, just go back and wait. Trust me, okay?"

Don't beg me again.There are some things that I can't promise right now.

She asked me with tears in her eyes: "How can I believe it? You asked Meng Zhen to accompany the king in the royal study, you gave her a bracelet, and everyone saw you holding her hand... Anyone can do it, why is it her?" , her father wants my father’s life? Why do you like her? "

How could I like her?
It is clear that towards Meng Zhen, he is completely vain and conciliatory.

I kissed the tears at the corners of her eyes, feeling extremely heartbroken and said, "No one can do this except you."
-
Meng Zhen didn't just do this.

She also forced Jiang Qingyue to die.

She said to Jiang Qingyue: "As long as you die, I will tell my father to let your father go."

Jiang Qingyue plunged into the moat without hesitation.
-
After sending Jiang Qingyue to Suzhou.

I made Meng Zhen my concubine and asked her to wait for me in Qianyuan Hall.

In the dark night when I couldn't see my fingers, I asked her to lie down on the dragon bed, and then ordered the death row prisoners who had been prepared to go into battle.

Beforehand, I had told this death row prisoner not to show mercy to him.

Through a screen, I heard her whimpering and calling my name, crying and begging me to be gentle.

With a scream, I reflected on whether my approach was cruel.

Then she remembered how she slapped and humiliated Jiang Qingyue.

Then she thought of Jiang Qingyue being forced to jump into the moat, and crawling out of the river in embarrassment in front of everyone, soaked to the skin, it was the coldest month of winter again.

I can't help it.

I pretended to care about Meng Zhen and asked the imperial doctor to give her medicine, but I refused to give her a chance to recuperate.

On the second night, another death row prisoner was replaced who was more energetic.

But I couldn’t help but wonder, if the news of Meng Zhen’s favor reaches Gusu, what will she think of me?

She had made me promise to be her only, as her father loved her mother.

At that time, when she heard my promise, she frowned, the breeze blew by, the hem of her scarlet skirt floated, and the sound was like a silver bell: "A gentleman's words are hard to chase!"

I laughed and high-fived her: "A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with."
-
I frequently called on death row inmates to "favor" Meng Zhen, but the Meng family thought they were favoring her and were extremely proud.

I will deliberately treat Queen Cao Qing coldly again.

This caused the Meng and Cao families to hate each other.

Their alliance slowly disintegrated and they turned against each other.
-
I was immersed in state affairs and never allowed myself to take any time off, so the time I spent thinking about her became less and less.

He no longer asked her how she was doing in Suzhou.

Then out of the blue, she appeared in front of me again.

She knelt in front of me, lowered her eyebrows, and said that the poisonous stew pot was sent to Weiyang Palace by her.

Ah.

I wanted to speak, but couldn't stop coughing.

She was not obedient at all and did not stay in Gusu honestly. Qin Gu also helped others, and he did not mention such a big thing.

That's it.

I stopped pursuing it and returned to Qianyuan Hall, but I couldn't settle my mind.

"Call the maid here." I ordered.

She is coming.

I couldn't help but ask her: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

She deliberately answered the question incorrectly.

I suppressed the surging emotions in my heart and asked again: "Since you entered the palace according to the Queen's decree, you are willing to be a concubine, right?"

I want to hear her say yes.

Just like you were willing to marry me in the first place.

She said: "Serving the Emperor is a blessing that a slave can't even imagine. How can I be reluctant?"

well.

She still pretended not to recognize me.

I thought seriously for a while before asking her to live in Huguangxie.

Concubine Chen treated her well when she was young, and she often followed Concubine Chen to watch plays at Huguang Pavilion.

She should like this place.
