From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 97
However, the two of them were not allowed to meet again, and Mei Linlang was ordered to leave for Liangzhou immediately, and not to enter Beijing without an order.

Mei Linlang wanted to resist the decree but she could not implicate her family. Knowing that it would never be possible for her and the fourth prince, she left sadly and hopelessly.

In order to prevent this from happening again, and for his son to forget Mei Linlang as soon as possible, soon afterward, the emperor personally decreed a marriage and chose the crown prince and two side concubines.

Mei Linlang was far away in Liangzhou, and when she found out, it was already a month after the prince got married.Heartbroken, but as a daughter of the Mei family, she cannot injure herself, let alone be depressed, and this is one of the reasons why she has repeatedly made military exploits.She wanted to die on the battlefield, and fought the enemy bravely like crazy.

It is a happy thing to be promoted repeatedly with great military exploits, but Mei Linlang never smiled again.It was not until later that the first emperor passed away and the crown prince succeeded her to the capital again.

After several times of life and death and wind and rain, this sincere and pure feeling has become more and more precious.The childhood sweetheart has deep feelings, and the fourth prince who has become the emperor and holds great power does as he pleases.He personally went to the door to ask for marriage, hoping that the King of Liang at that time would allow Mei Linlang to enter the palace as his concubine.

The old King Liang became angry when he heard this, and he refused to break the ancestral precepts. He knew more clearly that once the Mei family's daughter entered the harem and gave birth to an heir, the Mei family would be in great trouble.Mei Linlang couldn't stand the stubborn refusal, especially when she heard what he said with sincerity, she knelt down to her father with a plop.

Since she was invited to leave her family, her surname is no longer Mei, and there will be no more Mei Linlang with great military exploits in this world, only Concubine Rong who will accompany the emperor.

On the spot, King Liang vomited blood in anger, but as a father, he couldn't bear to love his daughter after all.He opened the ancestral hall, beat a hundred army sticks, and personally removed his daughter from the family tree.

Mei Linlang didn't die under a hundred army sticks, she survived the wound she had been taking care of for more than half a year.As she wished, she entered the palace as a concubine to accompany her beloved man, but things were not as simple as she thought, and she did not get the happiness she wanted.

Half a year later, the old King Liang died in battle, and Mei Zhannan succeeded him as the new King Liang.

Looking back on the past with mixed feelings, thinking of what happened after Mei Linlang entered the palace, the emperor was heartbroken and regretted the past.

Seeing that the emperor had been silent for a long time, and his eye circles were red, Eunuch Qian raised his voice cautiously and said again: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Concubine Rong is still waiting outside, do you want her to come in?"

Hearing the sound, he returned to his senses and forced back the tears in his eyes. The emperor walked to the copper basin to wash his hands, and while washing, he asked faintly, "What is she here for?"

If it was the empress or another concubine, Eunuch Qian would know for sure, even if he didn't know, he could guess a thing or two.But Concubine Rong hasn't been out of Luomei Palace for eight years, besides, she has nothing to desire, he really doesn't know why she came here at this time.

Not daring to speak nonsense, let alone guessing and answering casually, Eunuch Qian thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me, but the slave didn't ask, and Concubine Rong didn't say anything. However, the slave seemed very angry when he saw Concubine Rong's bad face. Yes, maybe I was wronged somewhere and want to ask the emperor to make the decision."

"Wronged? Who will give her wronged? Hasn't she been in Luomei Palace?" Frowning tightly, he threw the handkerchief after wiping his hands into the basin. "

I don't know what came to mind, the emperor paused here, and after a while, he couldn't help sighing and said: "Forget it, who dares to provoke her with her temper that never suffers, besides, she has been staying in her own palace all the time. , no one can see it, no one will make her angry."

Apart from him, Mei Linlang has never been angry with anyone.I remember that back then, a favored concubine spoke rudely to her and insulted her by asking her to leave the clan. She was beaten to death on the spot without saying a word.

Smiling slightly, Qian Zhong raised his head and said: "No matter how angry you are, you will suffer, not to mention Concubine Rong hasn't gone out for eight years. I guess it's because that servant doesn't have eyes, and asked the emperor to make decisions for Concubine Rong."

He should repay the favor he received from others. If Concubine Rong hadn't been able to come out all these years, he would have spoken for her long ago.

"Making the decision?" Smiling bitterly and sitting down on the chair, the emperor seemed to be getting old all of a sudden, physically and mentally exhausted, and said sadly: "She was born proud, and in her whole life, except for bowing her head to the emperor because of being with me, she has never She didn't bow her head to anyone. Qian Zhong, do you know? No matter how wronged she is in this life, she will never ask me to make decisions again."

"I grew up with her childhood sweetheart, but we ended up in a stranger's way. The old vows are still there, but she is no longer by my side. She hates me, resents me, and blames me. In fact, I have always known it."

Eight years later, he clearly knew what he had lost, and also understood why King Liang rejected him at that time.

As a father, the old King Liang undoubtedly loved his daughter deeply, and he was always planning for her.Even, at that time, he had already thought about the situation of his daughter after entering the palace.Therefore, he strongly opposed it, and would rather send his daughter to a nunnery to repair than let her step into the harem.

Old Liang Wang is wise, but it's a pity that they don't understand, and he thinks that as long as they love each other, everything will be fine.He is the emperor, he is the lord of a country, and he believes that he can protect her.

Obviously he was wrong, he also overestimated the self-righteous love, and underestimated the struggle of the women in the harem.

Qian Zhong, who knew everything that happened between the two of them, didn't know how to answer, and he didn't know how to comfort the emperor who raised his eyelids and looked at the sad face.I can't help but wonder who is wrong. The two people who did not marry Feiqing and did not marry Feiqing have come to this point, who is wrong?
The atmosphere became depressing, and the surrounding air seemed to be thinner, making it very uncomfortable.Qian Zhong thought about it for a while and then carefully said: "Love is deep and responsibility is deep, and Concubine Rong is so sad because she cares too much about the emperor. Your Majesty, this servant dares to say something wrong. What happened back then was really embarrassing Hurt a lot."

Eight years ago, because of her deep love, the first queen had always regarded Mei Linlang as her mortal enemy, and the two side concubines who entered the mansion first also regarded her as a thorn in their side and wanted to get rid of her all the time.The Mei family is pure and honest, and has never been good at maneuvering, so she didn't realize it at all.And it was too late when she felt other people's hostility, and she had already fallen into the trap set for her by others.

The empress had a miscarriage and her son died, and the emperor was very sad.The Empress Dowager was furious and ordered severe punishment, but Mei Linlang refused to accept it, and argued in Luomei Palace, the Emperor beat her in a fit of anger.And it was that slap that broke up all the feelings and broke her heart.

She looked at him in disbelief, didn't make any further distinctions for herself, and soon after said Dongfeng was evil and love was weak.After finishing speaking, he went back and closed the palace gate, and locked himself into Luomei Palace.
