Yutai Bi

Chapter 93 Pity
Du Ruhui has been with him since the first emperor established the Tiance Mansion for the King of Qin.Fang Mouduan's reputation spread far and wide.What's next?The uncle was involved in the case of Prince Chengqian's conspiracy, and the whole family was beheaded.His father was demoted to a poor place and died in depression.Fang Xuanling's son, concubine Fang Yiai and the princess's family were also murdered on charges of treason.

After his father passed away, he went to Beijing carrying the Tiance Sword bestowed to his grandfather by the late emperor.Maybe it was the sword that reminded the late emperor of his grandfather and gave him a choice.From then on, he followed King Teng as an eyeliner.

Year after year passed, the first emperor passed away, and now he is enthroned, and he is still at King Teng's side.Many times Du Yansui thought desperately, if nothing happened, maybe he would be King Teng's trusted bodyguard Kong Qing in his life.It is impossible to let the world know that he is the descendant of Du Ruhui.

An accident made him meet Cen Sanniang.

He sent a secret letter once a month as stipulated, mentioning Yuan Tiangang and Cen Sanniang.

Perhaps the emperor was not happy to see someone around King Teng help him out of trouble, or maybe he was concerned about Yuan Tiangang's words. After all, King Teng and the deposed prince Chengqian were better off.At that time, she fell into the river and wanted to escape.He just pushed the boat along and let her go.

Back then, the master used another identical hairpin to brand his shoulders.Isshiki Hidden Guards made identification purses.After so many years, when he was feeling desperate, Cen Sanniang did not expect that he recognized his purse and mentioned the hairpin.

Du Yansui knew.I got the key to change my destiny.

If Cen Sanniang knew that what he tried to protect at that time was the honor and disgrace of the Du family, would she still approach him?

The emperor wanted to marry her himself.Du Yansui's heart became heavier.My grandfather made great efforts in the change of Xuanwu Gate.Her grandfather assisted the late emperor in killing her grandfather.Cen Sanniang will know in the future, how will she think of him?
"Li Zongyi gave me a secret booklet. He was crazy about the title of King of Xiangwu County. Take a look." The emperor threw a secret booklet on the table.

Du Yansui picked up the secret folder and opened it, and gasped after reading only a few lines.

The words of Mi Zhe are rigorous, and Luo Zhi's charges and evidence are not fabricated out of thin air at first glance.

The secret said that Kong Qing, the bodyguard of Prince Teng's mansion, escorted Cen Sanniang all the way because he recognized the golden hairpin that could extract huge amounts of gold and silver.How did the guards of Prince Teng's Mansion know?It must be that King Teng colluded with the former Yinwei of Li Jiancheng's East Palace.Although Prince Yin and King Teng were very different in age, King Teng had not yet been born when the Xuanwu Gate Incident occurred.But King Teng was born in the palace since he was a child, and he has a close relationship with the former emperor's son, the deposed prince Li Chengqian, even more than the brotherhood between the present emperor and the deposed prince.Then, King Teng most likely wanted to use the power of Li Jiancheng's remaining party to avenge the deposed prince.Xiao even thought about the position of emperor.

In the secret compromise, Li Zongyi proudly pointed out that he accidentally learned that Kong Qing was actually the ninth son of the Du family.It is difficult to achieve anything based on the power of King Teng alone, and King Teng is not allowed to return to Beijing unless he passes on an edict.Therefore, it must have eyeliner and accomplices in the capital.Who is the most likely partner of this party?Naturally, it was Jingzhao Du's family who was killed because of the abolition of the crown prince's rebellion, and Fang's family who had once intended to rebel.

"Your Majesty's lesson. Although this secret book looks rigorous based on some clues, it has no real evidence. Li Zongyi... how could he frame a vassal king and my Du family based on imagination!" Du Yansui said with a straight face. put back.

Du Yansui only said that he was lucky, if he was not ordered by the former emperor, and he was loyal to the present, he was ordered to set up a trap to wipe out Li Jiancheng Yinwei, headed by Li Zhong, who secretly planned to assassinate the emperor.Based on this secret formula, the Du family and King Teng might not be able to escape the execution of their entire family.

Just for the title of Xiangwu County King?Du Yansui felt incredible, and then thought of Cen Sanniang's life experience.Li Zongyi was showing his loyalty to the emperor, and he was afraid that he would be punished today for taking in Li Jiancheng's concubine.

Thinking of this, Du Yansui couldn't help but feel that Li Zongyi was pitiful and hateful.

"Haha! Li Zongyi didn't know that you had the Heavenly Curse Sword and belonged to me. Let me tell you the truth, she is not the granddaughter of Uncle Jiancheng, so don't try to get it wrong."

The emperor looked at Du Yansui with a smile. This was the final answer to the mystery. He could not wait for Du Yansui's reaction.

"What?" Du Yansui was shocked again, her hands clenched into fists.

Cen Sanniang is not Li Jiancheng's granddaughter, so... "Your Majesty, Li Zongyi is too cruel!" Du Yansui forcibly suppressed the rising anger in his heart.

For the title, what did he think of his granddaughter?

For a moment, he seemed to hear Cen Sanniang say to him again with tears in her eyes: "Kong Qing, take me away."

Du Yansui blurted out: "I am willing to marry her."

"Oh? Why don't you hesitate anymore? Because I told you that she is not the granddaughter of Prince Yin?" The emperor looked at Du Yansui meaningfully.

"Sanniang is too pitiful. I take pity on you." Du Yansui said frankly.

The emperor repeated the phrase of pity for the minister in his heart, sighed softly, and stood up: "Yan Sui, you come with me. Eunuch Hu, drive to Changchun Palace."

Du Yansui drove forward, and when the cold wind blew, he suddenly felt that his inner shirt was soaked in cold sweat.

He has followed the irritable and thoughtful King Teng for many years, and he is habitually looking more and more secretly thinking about the gentle emperor.

Today, he was granted the title of General Qianniuwei.Such trust made Du Yansui more vigilant.He has been in Qianniuwei for less than a year.It seems that soon after he ascended the throne, he resolutely got rid of the son-in-law Fang Yiai, Princess Gaoyang and others.Tenderness might just be the tiger's time to bask in the sun.Once hunting, the tiger will show its power.

He silently followed the chariot, recalling every detail of what he heard, saw, and said today.The only thing he couldn't understand was why the emperor suddenly wanted him to marry Cen Sanniang.

The walking chariot stopped outside Changchun Palace.A strange idea came to Du Yansui's mind.

Changchun Palace is a Taoist temple in Daming Palace.Religious palace people do not have to leave the palace, they can enter the Changchun Palace to listen to real people explaining Taoism.Many elderly people in the old palace practiced in Taoist temples.There are tens of thousands of people in Taihe Palace and Daming Palace. In Changchun Palace, the Sanqing Hall, where Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun are enshrined, is extremely prosperous.

The emperor dismounted from his chariot and walked into Changchun Palace.Eunuch Hu was obviously familiar with the visit, he had already sent a letter, and the host Zhao Zhenren ordered everyone to avoid, and came out alone.

"Yan Sui, follow me in." The emperor ordered.

Under Zhao Zhenren's guidance, he did not enter the main hall of the Sanqing Palace, but walked along the outline.Walking all the way to a secluded courtyard, Master Zhao consciously stopped at the door, and sang the Buddha with infinite voice: "The Daoist Master Chuchen is cultivating, the emperor will do as he pleases."

The emperor had a smile on his face, and he unnaturally quickened his pace when he entered the yard.

The main room in the courtyard is bright and dark, and there are two wing rooms on the left and right. The courtyard in the middle is huge, and a small pond is built by diverting water from Taiye Pond.

Walking to the door, I saw a woman in a white Taoist robe and a bun on her head kneeling on the futon.Green smoke curled up, the woman looked like a Tingting white lotus.

Du Yansui was taken aback, her heart pounding violently.

The emperor murmured, "I don't have much pity for her either..."

As if sensing someone outside the house, the woman slowly turned her head.A beautiful hibiscus face, full of anger and resentment.

Concubine Teng, who became a nun in Laojun Nunnery on Cuihua Mountain, actually entered the palace to practice in Changchun Palace!It seems that the emperor really meant that!Du Yansui swallowed hard, and lowered her eyelids to hide the shock in her heart.

The emperor laughed lightly and said: "Yan Sui, since you feel pity for her, I will decree to marry her on the day she reaches the age of Ji."

Du Yansui came to his senses, he was willing to marry, would Sanniang marry him?Can he say no now?He collected his mind and showed a shy smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

He turned around, stood under the eaves, clenched the Qianniu knife at his waist, and kept his eyes fixed.

The emperor laughed and stepped into the main hall.

The smile on Du Yansui's face froze.He never expected that apart from the usual suspicion of the Tian family, there would be this level of grievance between the emperor and King Teng.

Concubine Teng, no, call out the real person now, does she hate Prince Teng so much?He hated so much that he left King Teng, and wanted to marry the woman he cared about to his former servant.

The cold wind blowing rain and snow froze Du Yansui's face. The gentle emperor made him shudder.

The emperor's gift of marriage, which seemed to be infinitely beautiful, did not make him happy at all.

After the secret package was sent up, Mrs. Li was always in a state of excitement.He stayed in the study without going out, and told the housekeeper that as long as someone came to ask to see him, he would report the speed without delay.

The next day, a man really came to the mansion to offer a famous assassin to see him.The housekeeper trotted to the study with the name badge in hand.

"Cen Langzhong? Why did he come here?" Mrs. Li was a little puzzled.The emperor read the secret papers, and for such a big event, he should send someone like Hu Gonggong to pass him into the palace to meet him.Why is the second master of the Cen family here?

"Could it be that this matter is extremely confidential, Cen Langzhong's daughter entered the palace to be a beauty, and she is getting closer to the emperor. At this time, the emperor has gone out of the palace to wait in Cen's mansion?" Mrs. Li was thinking about the secret agreement with the emperor, and gave it to the emperor. Master Cen Er came to visit and found the reason.

In this extraordinary period, no matter who came, he couldn't turn him away.Although he hated the Cen family in his heart, Mrs. Li decided to endure it.Instruct the housekeeper to invite Master Cen to the study.

Master Cen came to the Li Mansion a limited number of times.He will never forget the humiliation of being thrown out of the door by the Li family for the first time.But who told the fourth room of the Cen family to have Cen Sanniang, and who told the third room of the Cen family to covet the fourth room's family business and adopt her?

Second Master Cen looked up at the simple and vigorous plaque, and secretly spat.Xin Dao said that his daughter was named a beauty, and I heard that the emperor liked it very much, and the Li family was nothing more than a courtier.I'm still the emperor's father-in-law.Thinking of this, Second Master Cen held his head high and followed the housekeeper to the study with official steps.
