From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 99

Both Prince Ping and the crown prince are his own sons, he has no intention of protecting anyone, but things have happened, he can't ruin the crown prince he set up himself for the sake of Mei Xin.

Even though he is in his prime, he will not easily dethrone the prince and shake the foundation of the country.Pretending not to know, the emperor habitually tapped his index finger on the table, while withdrawing his eyes and casually replied: "The crown prince encountered bandits on the way back from Liangzhou, and he was seriously injured and has not returned yet. Who told you about this?"

Luomei Palace has been closed, and she has never had contact with anyone outside the palace for eight years.Suddenly learned that someone must have told her about this on purpose, but who could this person be?

Frowning slightly, the emperor went through all the concubines in the harem who might do this in his mind.Not sure if it was the person he was thinking of, the emperor picked up the memorial at the side and casually flipped through it.

Although Mei Linlang had been mentally preparing for the whole night, she was still stunned. She didn't believe this thing was true at all, and her face changed drastically.However, that was only for a moment. After a moment, she suppressed her anger and said with a livid face: "It doesn't matter how I know, the important thing is that this matter is true. Mei Xin is the daughter of Prince Liang, It is my elder brother's favorite jewel, I wonder how the emperor plans to deal with it?"

Growing up under the love and humility of his eldest brother, Mei Linlang and Mei Zhannan have always had a deep relationship with each other.Back then, he asked his family to go out of the clan and suffered a hundred army sticks, but he still let his men show mercy and let the water go.However, what he did back then was so hurtful that Mei Zhannan didn't want to see her again after she left home, and he didn't care about her anymore.

Thinking of her elder brother who loves her so much, Mei Linlang lamented how quickly life passed.It seemed like it was yesterday that she invited her to leave the clan. In the blink of an eye, she hadn't seen her eldest brother for more than ten years.I heard that he was seriously injured in the battle with the Tartars not long ago. I don't know what is going on now and whether he is alright.

One is the daughter of an important minister and the other is his own biological son. To be honest, the emperor himself didn't think clearly about his size.Coupled with the repeated impeachment of Mei Zhan Nangong Gaogai, the censor, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run.Picking up the imperial pen and dipping it in ink, he said lightly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, step back!"

She was stunned for a moment, and Mei Linlang was furious, and said anxiously with a pale face: "It has nothing to do with me, how could it have nothing to do with me? Mei Xin is my eldest brother's biological daughter and my own niece. The crown prince devised drugs to lose his innocence, and now he is pregnant with a child again..."

Putting down the Langhao brush in his hand with a bang, the emperor said harshly: "Your surname is not Mei, you are no longer from the Mei family."

The emperor's voice was not loud, but he successfully blocked Mei Linlang's mouth.

Mei Linlang's eye circles turned red in an instant.He stared at the emperor firmly, clenched his hands under his sleeves into fists, glared and gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Yes, my surname is not Mei, I am no longer from the Mei family."

The voice was so sad and desolate that the emperor felt uncomfortable in every possible way.Feeling that his words were too serious, and these words were too cruel to Mei Linlang, he took a deep breath and said with some frustration: "This matter has not been investigated clearly, whether it is a design or not is another matter. Wait for the prince to come back, When the prince comes back, I will ask clearly, and then I will send someone to tell you."

The city wall built in her heart collapsed, Mei Linlang clearly heard her heart was broken.Eight years later, it was shattered into dregs again, and the trace of trust in the emperor disappeared in an instant.

It turned out that what Jianchun said was right, the man she had loved for decades was heartless, heartless and selfish.He is no longer the elder brother Qingrui that she insisted on not marrying, nor the young man with gentle eyes that she insisted on marrying, nor the fourth prince who put her in his heart.He is the emperor, he is the lord of a country, and he is the husband of all the women in the harem.

She was wrong, terribly wrong, terribly wrong!
Anger mixed with sadness almost devoured her, and Mei Linlang trembled involuntarily.She clenched her fists tightly, stared at him firmly and said: "It seems that the emperor has the intention to cover up."

With a sad smile all over her face, Mei Linlang took two steps forward.

Looking at each other across the table, the emperor felt cold, his brows were furrowed and his face was full of guard, he said patiently: "I know what you are thinking, and I also know what you are afraid of, but the prince has not returned, and no one knows." They are in love with each other..."

"We love each other, just like me and you back then?" Feeling ridiculous, Mei Linlang repeatedly suppressed the anger in her heart and said bitterly: "Mei's family has such an evil, a joke, do you think that elder brother will let his daughter Repeat the same mistakes? Mei Xin was sent to Liangzhou at the age of two and has never returned to the capital. The crown prince has never been to Liangzhou before, and they have never even seen each other. Is the emperor coaxing a fool by saying such words? No Do you find it ridiculous?"

Straightening her neck and clenching her teeth, Mei Linlang took out the dagger hidden in her sleeve and said, "That's right, the crown prince is the future heir, how can he leave stains on his body, let alone drugging women? Means. The emperor will definitely find a way to force my eldest brother to admit that they are in love with each other, and then let the Mei family produce another Mei Linlang. Just like me who was willing to be lowly back then, not as a wife, but as a concubine, only for the prince of the East Palace plaything."

With a bang, the emperor jumped up: "Presumptuous!"

"Presumptuous, hahaha, did you know that I was presumptuous today? Cheng Qingrui, why did you say you wanted to marry me, why did you welcome me into the harem? I, Mei Linlang, was born rebellious, but for you, I sacrificed all my parents, brothers and family. Abandoned. I have no name, no name, no father, no son, and now even you are not mine. I hate you. I haven't hated you for eight years. You ask me if I regret it , Let me tell you now, yes, I regret it, I regretted it as early as when you gave me the Bizi soup."

The hysterical sound grew louder and louder like a storm on the sea, and finally turned into a roar.Avoiding Zitang, that was something she never thought of in her life, and it was something she never wanted to think about in her life.

He is the man she loves the most. She desperately wants to be with him, but he doesn't want to have children with her.How ironic, how ridiculous, and how chilling and terrifying.

Even though he knew it clearly in his heart, the emperor was still sad when he really heard Mei Linlang say these words in person.Blood was dripping, as if thousands of hands were tearing at him at the same time, tears welled up in his eyes, he almost suffocated with heartache: "So, you drank the whole pot of safflower?"

It was the second year he took her into the palace, and she drank the whole pot of red flowers in front of him.There was not a single drop left, and no matter how much the imperial physician induced her to vomit, she would not vomit a single drop.And it was from then on that their relationship began to deteriorate, and she gradually alienated him and avoided him.
