History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 1

Chenhua Palace is a cold palace, located in the northwest corner of the inner court, remote and desolate, desolate and dilapidated.The house facing west and east was in disrepair for a long time, and when the sun set in the west mountain, it became dark, especially in this kind of rainy weather, candles had to be lit to brighten it before the next hour, but the house was still dark and damp.

He Linlang sat by the small case by the window, took out the two books in the brocade box, and looked closely at the candlelight.Due to the continuous rainy days, the room was stuffy and humid, and many mildew spots had grown on the pages of the book.

She wiped it carefully with a juanpa, but the dilapidated palace door creaked, interrupting the continuous drizzle outside.

Lifting his eyelids slightly, he saw a bright yellow robe.Lin Lang lowered her head in disgust and did not want to look at him, but the man's voice was unavoidable, "Xu Lang forced his way into the palace last night and was executed by my order. The rest of the Xu family have also been enslaved."

Lin Lang sat still, clenching her teeth tightly.

"It's really funny to say that the defeated general actually wants to take you out of the palace." The emperor's voice was full of sarcasm, "And your elder brother said that he died in exile."

The woman by the window still bowed her head and said nothing, but the handkerchief was tightly pinched into a ball, and the emperor continued: "By the way, your father couldn't bear the punishment, so he also committed suicide in prison."

The news was like thunder and thunder, and He Linlang's body shook violently. Finally, she couldn't help raising her head and scolding: "Zhu Chengyu, you beast!" Torn to shreds.But he has been sick and weak for many years, no matter where he really has the strength to fight with him, even if he hates, he is powerless.

The emperor actually smiled: "I'm so breathless, my lord is a big treason."

"The He family has been ruined by you, and the Xu family has also suffered a complete defeat. What else do you want?" Lin Langhuo stood up, the book in her hand was not stable, and fell to the ground with a "slap".

"Your cousin, Qin Huaiyu, I plan to exile him to the southern border."

Is this going to implicate me!Lin Lang grabbed the wooden cup containing cold tea and threw it towards him, "Beast! Was it He Jinyu's idea!"

"The cunning rabbit is a dead dog, he should have thought of it a long time ago." The emperor smiled triumphantly, avoided the teacup lightly, and turned around to go out, "Wait, I will often send news." The door slammed shut, and the room Li suddenly calmed down, but the raindrops outside the window became more and more intense, knocking on the window paper, as if to penetrate it.

Lin Lang was trembling all over, and her knuckles were already turning white.

Zhu Chengyu, He Jinyu, these two beasts!She knocked the food box next to her to the ground.

One is her husband, and the other is her cousin, but they are both ungrateful bastards with human faces!But now that the traitor has succeeded, no matter how much she hates her, she is powerless to resist.It's only because she was blind at the beginning, she believed Zhu Chengyu's rhetoric, married into Zhu's family, and then watched Zhu's family gradually take advantage of her grandfather's influence, invaded the capital, defeated the royalist Xu family, and then The abolished emperor stands on his own.

Both the Xu family and the He family belonged to the royalist faction, so they were naturally incompatible with the Zhu family. After Zhu Chengyu ascended the throne, he began to kill them all, and then brought news to her, the abandoned concubine, as if humiliating her would make him happy.

What was even more detestable was He Jinyu, who saw everyone in her family being forced to death by Zhu Chengyu, yet she entered the palace as a nobleman, and joined the new emperor in persecuting the old party, so cold-blooded!

Lin Lang only felt a blockage in her chest, and the cold illness that had plagued her since she was a child broke out. She shrank on the ground, and her consciousness gradually became blurred.

It was vaguely that in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River that year, Zhu Chengyu was tall and tall, and his sweet words easily captured her heart.At that time, she thought she had found a good son-in-law, but who knew that he was greedy for the power of her maternal ancestor's family, and was ambitious?
Thinking about it now, it's too late to regret!
The sound of rain outside the house was sudden, and Lin Lang's body was getting colder and colder, slowly freezing her lungs until she couldn't breathe.

In the dimness, I heard the chirping of birds and the sound of slight footsteps, as if someone whispered, "The girl is still asleep, do you want to go in and call her?"

"Wait a minute, I was tired from playing yesterday, anyway, I don't need to greet the old lady this morning, please wake up the girl later..." The voice outside faded away with the sound of footsteps, something deep in Lin Lang's memory But it surged suddenly, and she suddenly woke up.

On the top of the cloud brocade flowered tent with a light green background, there is a faint fragrance of jade flowers, and some faint light leaks in from the gaps in the low-hanging soft tent, and casts on an embroidered bird inside, bright and bright.

Lin Lang wanted to rub her eyes, but found that her thin arms suddenly became white, tender and smooth.Open your hands, chubby palms, and silk bandages on the thumbs to bandage the wounds.

what happened!She sat up suddenly and lifted the soft tent, a little dizzy.The servant girl outside heard the movement, hurried in and raised the bead curtain to greet, "Miss is awake? Is this servant helping you to get dressed?"

Lin Lang recognized this face, it was Jinping, her close maid when she was young.She nodded, and Jinping helped her put on her clothes nimbly.

Lin Lang was in a daze and let Jinping serve her. She didn't listen to a word of Jinping's words. She glanced at the furnishings in the room, and she was so shocked that she couldn't be more shocked.
