Rebirth of the Banshee Concubine

Chapter 162 The Emperor is Ruthless
The concubines around Emperor Xiande kept coming and going one after another, but his initial pure promise had long since disappeared with the wind.From her loss at the beginning to disappointment to despair and extravagant hope, she finally saw through the ruthless nature of the emperor.She was tired of his duplicity, his sentimentality, and his lack of kindness.She lived more and more reclusively, ignoring worldly affairs.She knows in her heart that only by keeping aloof from the world can the babysitter family and herself have a clear sky.

As long as her mother clan survives, her safety can be guaranteed.Therefore, when the Empress and Concubine Hui were in a situation of equal power, she sadly withdrew from the turbulent battle and stayed alone in Ganli Palace all day long.I don't know, but I really thought that the concubine Rufei didn't exist in the harem of Xijing Kingdom at all!

However, although Rufei is not obsessed with world affairs, she has a pair of insightful eyes.She had expected that in the dispute between Empress Wei and Concubine Liang Hui, Concubine Liang Hui would definitely win.Because Xia Yifei's composure, introversion and wisdom, compared to Xia Yichen's conceited and self-willed prince, are simply beyond the same level.

In the end, it turned out that Concubine Liang Hui was victorious, and she fulfilled her wish to send her son Xia Yifei to the throne of the crown prince.It's just that Concubine Ru really didn't expect that at this time, Emperor Xiande was seriously ill and wanted to pass the throne to Xia Yifei!In fact, she naturally expected so in her private heart, but she was really shocked when things were unexpected.

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Ru has perfected her acting skills over the years, her face was full of shock and disbelief, her eyes were flushed but she didn't shed tears.She knew that every word and deed at this time could arouse the suspicion and suspicion of Emperor Xiande, so she acted appropriately as a concubine who was indifferent to the world, and she was shocked when she heard that her son was about to become the new emperor.

"My beloved concubine...cough cough—I'm afraid this time the time is really coming! You...cough cough, after Xuan'er succeeds to the throne, you—you and Xuanran should move to live in another palace in the imperial mausoleum! I... I have always loved you deeply, and if you stay closer to me, I will be very comforted!" Emperor Xiande's already pale face turned bruise, and he looked like he was about to die.

Concubine Ru's heart suddenly turned cold when she heard the words, although she had already seen through the emperor's ruthlessness, she still couldn't help being chilled, chilling to the bone!The other palace on the other side of the imperial mausoleum is no less than the Lenggong, he did this to lay the groundwork for Xia Yixuan!It seems that Jiangshan Sheji is unchanging in his heart, and his deep love and favorite is just a cover!

He was afraid of the power of the Liang clan, but he was also afraid of her mother clan, the Zhuang clan!In the future, after Xia Yixuan inherits the throne, she will be the Empress Dowager.Then her mother clan will also become Xia Yixuan's greatest threat!So for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji and Xia Clan's Jiangshan, Emperor Xiande asked her to bury him in a disguised form!She also has to ruin her little Xuanran!

Concubine Ru suddenly fell into an ice cellar, she had been locked up by this palace wall from her love and freedom.After all these years, she has kept aloof from the world, yet he can still treat her so cruelly!She hates it so much!Why was she still trapped and locked up after his death, ruining her freedom for the rest of her life?
Xia Yixuan was startled, then looked at the pale face of his mother and concubine, he suddenly realized everything!The emperor's arrangement seems to protect his mother and concubine and his sister, and everything is for him to have no worries. In fact, isn't it a disguised form to weaken the power of the Zhuang family?The mother and concubine have dedicated her life's freedom and youth to her father. She has never fought for anything, but his father is too cruel and ruthless!
"Royal Father!" Xia Yixuan said with a look of unbearable anger, "Let's not talk about who will inherit the throne, even if Princess Xuanran is still young, how can she go to a palace like the other palace? The body has been weak for so many years, and needs to be diagnosed and treated by the imperial physician from time to time, how can I live in a palace like the other palace?"

In fact, Emperor Xiande has always placed high hopes on Xia Yixuan. Others can say they don't know, but he knows that this son knows how to protect himself since he was a child, and he has been pretending to be himself.His talent is no less than that of Xia Yifei, but he has been hiding his clumsiness and pretending to be cynical.

In fact, he had made this decision a long time ago. He hoped that this son could inherit the Datong and bring another prosperity to Xijing Kingdom.It's just that now this son is actually a woman's benevolence!As a qualified emperor, this woman's benevolence and soft-heartedness are the worst!At this moment, he even felt a little disappointed. An emperor must never be soft-hearted!
Concubine Ru is the same as Concubine Liang Hui. If Xia Yixuan inherits the throne, then Concubine Ru's mother clan, the Zhuang family, will take the opportunity to rise and become his greatest threat!Why didn't he understand that everything should be considered from the Xia family's country first?
Xia Yifei clenched his right fist and stood outside motionless.At this moment, he suddenly hated this royal father!How could he be like this?Not only for his own mother and concubine Liang Huifei, but also for every concubine in the harem who really loved him deeply!Even the most disgusting Empress Wei!

Relying on Empress Wei's mother family, the Wei family, Emperor Xiande gradually ascended the throne as emperor and secured the throne.He achieved his imperial hegemony, but instead of treating the Wei family preferentially, he gradually planned to make the Wei family fall!
Back then, the Wei family threw their heads and blood on the battlefield for the sake of his world. Empress Wei's parents both died on the battlefield because of this!Only the empress Wei, Prime Minister Wei and Wei Yunpan are left in the huge family of Wei's direct descendants!But Emperor Xiande did not stop because of this. He first deposed Xia Yichen, the eldest son, Prime Minister Wei was also suppressed, and even Empress Wei was grounded in disguise!

As for his mother and concubine Liang Huifei, he was not favored by Emperor Xiande. After he took the position of crown prince, his father had always been afraid of the power of the Liang clan.In fact, why didn't he know that the concubine mother worked so hard to let him inherit the great line, just because she was worried that one day Emperor Xiande would hand over his black hands to the Liang clan!

This is the ruthless emperor's family!This is the emperor's art of the father's life!He once vowed with great ambition that after inheriting the great unification, he will realize the unification of the world and let the Xijing Kingdom reach a peak and heyday under his rule!Now, after hearing what his father said, he was suddenly disheartened like never before!It seemed that in one thought, the throne lost a lot of meaning to him.

Everyone in the night palace has changed, and their moods have changed a lot.However, this did not affect the General's Mansion at all. In General Chu's Mansion, Tianxiang finally gave birth to confinement.Because of her early death in her previous life, she was able to find a husband in this life and gave birth to three lovely children.Tianxiang is already satisfied, so she has been taking care of the three children in person these days, almost never leaving her.

Chu Shaonan also got into the habit of going to see his three children when he came back from court.After he came down that day, he heard Qi Tianxiang call out in surprise: "Shaonan, come and see, it—the little guy just smiled at me!" Hearing this, Chu Shaonan hurried away. past.

He bent down and picked up one of the dolls, and said with a smile: "Come on, let Daddy see if you are obedient today? Did you make your mother angry?" He smiled and kissed the little baby's face.The girl was picked up, and when she saw her father kissing her, she giggled.

Seeing his daughter smiling happily, Chu Shaonan could not help but weigh her weight with a smile, showing surprise on her face: "Ah, Daddy's Xi'er has actually weighed a lot! It seems that recently Your mother gave you all the delicious food, and if it goes on like this, someday dad won't be able to hold it anymore..."

But having said that, Chu Shaonan still threw Xi'er up, making Xiao Xi'er laugh even more happily, and even waved the chubby hand, making babbling and cheering sounds from his mouth.

Tianxiang followed her eyes and saw this thrilling scene.Although she believed in Chu Shaonan's martial arts, she was still shocked when she saw her daughter being thrown into the air. She pretended to be displeased and reprimanded: "How can you do this? The child is still so young, be careful to scare her!"

"Hehe, how could it be! Xiao Xi'er is my daughter, so naturally she won't be as timid as other children! See for yourself, how happy she is smiling!" Kissed and said.At the end, she continued to hold her daughter in circles, making Xiao Xi'er giggle.

Qi Tianxiang let out a mouthful of turbid air, but ignored it.She gave birth to three children, two sons and one daughter.Chu Shaonan gave them names respectively: Chu Yuwei, Chu Yukui, and Chu Yuxun, but Chu Shaonan chose another nickname for his youngest daughter, Xi'er.The triplets look exactly alike, and if they were wearing the same mattress, they wouldn't be able to recognize each other if they didn't pay attention.

Since Qi Tianxiang was confinement, all her efforts have been put on her three baby dolls.Even the affairs of Duke Qi's mansion were strictly prohibited by Chu Shaonan from not paying attention to and taking care of them, and he was left to handle any matters.

Although Tianxiang stays at home, she still has a clear understanding of some major events. "The fourth younger sister came to the general's mansion to sit for a while a few days ago. She said that there was a big transfer in the army, so there must be something serious going on?" As a general's wife, she can't pretend to be deaf and dumb. Pay attention to the dynamics of the court.

Hearing this, Chu Shaonan carefully placed Xiao Xi'er in the cradle, sat down with a sigh, put her arms around Qi Tianxiang and said: "The emperor's illness has no cure, and the news is that... I'm afraid he will die in the next few days." collapsed—”

Tianxiang pursed her lips when she heard the words, and began to think in her head.Although Emperor Xiande had appointed Xia Yifei as the crown prince, it was inevitable that no one would launch a war to seize power until the last moment.In addition, in the recent period, Emperor Xiande has frequently summoned His Royal Highness King Xuan to meet him, which shows that the significance is extraordinary.

"Then, did the emperor leave an edict of succession?" Tianxiang thought carefully, and this edict of succession was used as a proof of succession.

Chu Shaonan was naturally aware of his wife's intelligence, so he said without any concealment: "Yes, the emperor now prefers His Royal Highness Xuan Wang to inherit the throne, but His Royal Highness Xuan Wang seems unwilling to inherit the throne. As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he may have also been affected recently. Decadent, staying in the East Palace all day long and unwilling to come out. As for the eldest prince Xia Yichen, he hasn't given up yet, and is planning a last-ditch effort..."

"Well, it seems that the situation is really complicated!" Tianxiang sighed and said, "If you want me to say, as long as the country is prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment, there are clothes to wear, food to eat, and no worries about food and clothing, no matter who does it I think the emperor is the same, and the common people will not mind."
