Great Zhou Empire: Kill Zhao Kuangyin at the beginning

Chapter 493: Intimate (Special thanks to book friend Wanderer Bookworm for 2 monthly tickets!)

Although since Mo Zang Liuyun gave birth to twins, Chai Zongxun's favor towards her has grown, and her rewards and attendants have increased greatly.

But Chai Zongxun had never thought of taking her into the palace as a concubine.

While Chai Zongxun was pondering, Mo Zang Liuyun burst into tears in his arms:
"I know why Your Majesty is unwilling to accept me into the palace!
In your Majesty's heart, you always think that I am a vicious woman who is a scourge to the country and poisoned the King of Gaochang!
But Your Majesty, I have already confessed to you that when I was ten years old, when my father said that he would send me to the palace to serve Your Majesty in a few years, my heart was filled with only you!
I only regret that fate played such a trick on me. My father rebelled against the Great Zhou, and for the survival of my family, I had to obey my father's orders and enter the Gaochang Palace to be a concubine. I had no choice.

Take the poisoning of Lu Sheng for example. If your majesty and I were in the same situation, what would we do? This was completely a situation at the time. In order to protect our own lives and the lives of our family, we had to do it cruelly! "

Chai Zongxun was simply touched. Mo Zang Liuyun had a troubled life and used sex as his greatest weapon. This was something that women in this era or in other words, could not do anything about.

Although it is said that human nature is selfish, it is very likely true that when Mei Zang Liuyun was ten years old, he fell in love with this most powerful emperor in the world.

Chai Zongxun reached out and patted Mo Zang Liuyun's fragrant back. After a while, he said:

"Ai Ji, I believe that what you said is from the bottom of your heart. Ai Ji has served me diligently over the past few years, how can I not feel grateful?

What's more, Fei'er and Zhen'er are my beloved children.

Don't worry, my dear. I promise you this, but it won't be done right away, and I'm afraid it won't be done in the next few years. Please be patient, my dear."

Mo Zang Liuyun had a sudden thought and thought of Princess Jialuo, who had always hated him.

Chai Zongxun saw the strange light flowing in Mo Zang Liuyun's eyes, and immediately understood, and said solemnly:

"My dear, you must not do anything to Princess Jialuo! Do not even let me hear a word that slanders her!
Otherwise, let’s just forget about what I promised you.

And whether it is Princess Jialuo or my other concubines, if they are hurt by you, don't blame me for not remembering our friendship!"

Chai Zongxun knew that the concubines in the harem were simple-minded and did not understand the evil of human nature because they had always lived in an atmosphere of harmony, luxury and simple interpersonal relationships created by himself and Empress Dowager Fu. They could be said to be "flowers in a greenhouse".

Compared to them, Mei Zang Liuyun, a woman who fought her way through the palace and power struggles in Gaochang, is like a tiger entering a sheepfold.

Therefore, Chai Zongxun warned Yu Mozang Liuyun early on.

Mei Zang Liuyun's eyes immediately narrowed and he sighed:
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and knows everything! How dare I!
I will obey your majesty's wishes."

The two of them were affectionate for a while, then got up and had dinner with his son and daughter, and then Chai Zongxun set out to return to the palace.

When he entered the harem, it was already midnight. Chai Zongxun walked to the bedroom of Queen Diwu Chaolu.

With the help of the palace maids, the two of them took a bath together and lay down on the bed.

After hugging and chatting for a while, Diwu Zhaolu smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, I usually see you are very happy every time you come back from the Baoen Temple.

Why do you feel a little depressed today? "

Chai Zongxun sighed, hugged Diwu Chaolu, and told her everything that happened today with Mo Zang Liuyunjian.

The Fifth Chaolu listened quietly and said:

"Your Majesty, you love Fei'er and Zhen'er very much. Do you want to take them into the palace in the future and give them official status as imperial family members?" Chai Zongxun nodded and said:
"The Queen truly knows my heart.

Thinking back to my youth with Lady Huarui, I could say that we were young and impulsive when we gave birth to Yu'er. I already feel that I owe him something.

Lady Huarui was not taken into the palace, firstly because of the age difference, and secondly because of the reputation of Han Aiqing's family.

Now, these two problems do not exist between me and Mo Zang Liuyun. Every time I see Fei'er and Zhen'er, I have the thought of bringing them into the palace to raise them."

The fifth Chaolu said:
"Your Majesty, in fact, after spending these few years together, according to my observation, Mei Zang Liuyun's happiness and misfortune are all due to Your Majesty, and she should not have the intention to murder Your Majesty, not to mention that she has already given birth to a pair of royal heirs for Your Majesty.

However, if a person is blinded by greed, scheming, and able to endure what others cannot endure, such as a woman like Wu Zetian, then it is very difficult to say.

In my humble opinion, Your Majesty must not open the door to power for Mo Zang Liuyun, even if it's just for a peek!
After all, she was the one who seduced the king of Gaochang, used all kinds of tricks, and after seizing power, she was able to cruelly poison the king who was her husband. There are not many women in the world who can do such a thing. "

Chai Zongxun pondered for a moment and said:
"Chaolu, what you mean is that I can take Fei'er and Zhen'er into the palace to raise them, but I can't take Liuyun into the palace?"

Diwu Zhaolu nodded slowly and said:

"exactly.

If Your Majesty takes Mo Zang Liuyun as a concubine, it will open the door for her to peek at power, and it will be difficult to predict how the situation will change in the future.

After Emperor Taizong of Tang died, Wu Zetian became a nun and had no chance to interfere in government affairs. Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, was bewitched by her and, despite the fierce opposition of many ministers, took her into the palace as Zhaoyi. This was the beginning of Wu Zetian's theft of power!

Chai Zongxun, who was still hesitating, suddenly understood and said happily:

"The Queen is truly wise! I have thought of a way to properly deal with Mei Zang Liu Yun and the siblings Fei Er and Zhen Er!"

A few days later, after the morning court session, Chai Zongxun went to Baoci Hall to have lunch with Empress Dowager Fu and the second empress and sixteen concubines, and discussed the matter with Empress Dowager Fu, Empress Fu and the fifth empress.

Chai Zongxun said:

"Mother, cousin, I have discussed with Chaolu that Fei'er and Zhen'er are very cute. I plan to find one or two concubines in the harem who are both virtuous and beautiful, and have no children, to be the legitimate mother of the brother and sister and raise them up."

After Empress Dowager Fu and Queen Fu understood the idea, they thought about it for a moment and agreed to it.

Queen Mother Fu said:

“Your Majesty and Chaolu’s method is sound.

Although Mo Zang Liuyun was born into a noble family and was well-educated, he was not a Han Chinese after all. He was not influenced by Chinese civilization since childhood and was cruel in his actions.

Bring Fei'er and Zhen'er into the palace to raise them, and educate them well from a young age, so that they will not be influenced by Mo Zang Liuyun in the future and become a sharp weapon in her hands. "

After all four of them agreed to this idea and discussed it for a few days, Chai Zongxun finally decided not to separate the twin brother and sister, but to hand them over to a concubine in the harem to raise.

After several days of selection, Concubine Gong was chosen from the concubines in the harem as the biological mother of Chai Jifei and Chai Yingzhen.

Concubine Gong was selected from the common people and entered the palace during the 22nd year of Kaixi. She was initially a beauty, but was later promoted to concubine because she was loved by Chai Zongxun. She was known for her virtue.
