Not as beautiful as the uncle
Chapter 62 What He Saw
Chapter 62 What He Saw
Shen Xi is a prudent person, at least in the eyes of outsiders, so when he crazily snatched the daughter-in-law of the Bai family as his own, his father summoned him to the Hall of Supreme Purity, and the crowd Those who fought with him all knelt in front of him.
"Young master, this is absolutely impossible!" Lieutenant General Zhao Fu frowned and shook his head: "If you marry Miss Ning, you will offend the Bai family and the Ning family, which will be harmful instead of beneficial! Right now is the opportunity for your great career to come true. , can't stand civil strife!"
Shen Xi looked at him calmly and asked, "Do I want you to take care of my own housework now?"
"What are you talking about!" Shen Nan said angrily: "Do you think you are still just a general who leads troops to fight? You are in this position, housework is the world's affairs, and you can still do whatever you want ?!"
"But she is already mine." Shen Xi smiled: "Just letting people go back like this, wouldn't it offend the Ning and Bai families even more?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and Shen Nan's face was even more ugly: "You have nothing to hide from your mouth!"
"Tell the truth." Shen Xi got up, looked at them and said, "I will handle this matter myself. I must marry Ning Weiyu. As for the Ning family and the Bai family, it has nothing to do with me whether they are happy or not." ?”
To put it bluntly, these two families are just famous families, and they are really not enough to point fingers in front of him in terms of power and wealth.The new dynasty was about to be established, and this group of people was too cautious, and completely lost the decision to charge on the battlefield.
Shen Xi didn't like the Bai family, but the Ning family didn't care, if they accepted, then he would come to the door to hire him, if they didn't accept, then it would be fine.Is there anything worth bothering about?
However, when he stepped into the bedroom, he heard Ning Weiyu's worried voice.
"Dad, do they hate me to death?" She knelt on the side of the bed, holding the maid's hand and said blankly: "I am indeed unfilial. Every time I do things, I don't consider their feelings, nor do I think about them."
"Miss." The servant girl sighed helplessly: "You are the daughter of the master's direct relative, even if you make a big mistake, it is still a blood relationship. The master is indeed very angry this time, but he may not deny you..."
"Don't comfort me." Ning Weiyu smiled wryly: "Is it possible that I don't know what kind of temper the old man has? He already owes favors to the Bai family, and this time such a thing happened in the wedding... must be embarrassing and annoyed." , shameless to see others. Right now, I am afraid that if I go back to plead guilty, he will ignore me."
The maid was silent.
He stood outside for a while, his hostility slowly dissipated, and he thought about it seriously.
The next day, he went to Ningfu in a micro-clothes.
With Shen Xi's current status, even if the Ning family didn't want to see him anymore, they could only respectfully invite him in and serve them fragrant tea.However, the etiquette is thorough, but the master of the Ning family has a deep prejudice against him, before he could finish speaking, he said: "Ning Weiyu is no longer from my Ning family, if you want to marry her, you don't have to come and tell me. "
The words were so sharp that all the concubines beside him were trembling, and those who stood close even pulled Master Laning's sleeve and winked in panic.
Everyone knew that Shen Xi was the new emperor who was about to ascend the throne, how could he be so rude when speaking to him?Besides, it was rumored that this person had a bad temper, so it was already a big deal to propose marriage on his own initiative. If he was offended, wouldn't the entire Ning family be able to eat and walk around?
Master Ning raised his chin, looking like he was not afraid of power.
However, Shen Xi was not angry, his face did not change, he just stood up and said: "Maybe it's a bad day today, Mr. Shen will come back another day."
This sentence stunned the people present, and all the aunts and uncles looked at his back in shock.
After they walked out, someone asked in a low voice: "Is this really Shen Xi?"
"Is it him or who? I met him once."
"But this...is it as irritable as people say? Uncle has said so, yet he still wants to come."
The aunt next to Master Ning sighed, shook her head and said, "You really like our Yu'er."
Master Ning snorted coldly, disapproving.
For the next month, Shen Xi really came to Ning's house every two days. Master Ning couldn't bear to see it, and finally said: "This marriage is not hurting my Ning family, but the Bai family. If you can With the consent of the Bai family, the old man will naturally have no more complaints."
What kind of joke are you making Shen Xi bow to the Bai family?The people around Shen Xi felt it was ridiculous. His master had always been arrogant, so he didn't like the Bai family, so how could he bow his head?
Shen Xi naturally did not bow his head, but first invited several members of the Bai family into the palace.
"...Are you serious?" The head of the Bai family looked up in disbelief.
Shen Xi sat across from them, and nodded calmly: "It's hard to chase after a word, no matter how many shops you open in the Bai family, no one will collect taxes for 50 years."
This was really shocking. When the Bai family entered the palace, they expected that Shen Xi would appease them, but they did not expect that the appease given would be so sincere, and... it was impossible to refuse.
Excessive miscellaneous taxes have always been a burden on businessmen. Many businessmen are thinking of ways to evade taxes. This man is good enough to allow them to pay no taxes for 50 years.The benefits are not measurable in simple money at all.
After hesitating again and again, Master Bai asked, "Is this for us to agree to give up the Ning family?"
Shen Xi smiled: "The Ning family is mine without your concessions, and she is not someone who can be bought with 50 years of taxation. What I did was just to make friends with the Bai family."
These words left the Bai family speechless, who would reject Shen Xi's offer of friendship?Didn't the brain get kicked by a donkey?But... the current situation is really embarrassing, even if the head of the family wants to agree, he still has some consideration for Bai Ruo's feelings.
"Master." Someone from the side came in and reported, "Master Bai has arrived."
Master Bai was startled, raised his head for no reason, and saw Shen Xi saying: "I have to go chat with him, Master Bai, please go back, my promise, no matter what the situation is, will be fulfilled."
"..." Watching Shen Xi go out with a complicated mood, the Bai family was in a dilemma. He originally thought that Shen Xi had gone too far, no matter how much compensation he gave, it would not be able to make up for the loss of the Bai family's face.But now... Having said that, he felt that it would be a good thing if Bai Ruo's child could let go, at least Fuze's entire Bai family.It's not a loss for him to be able to make friends with Shen Xi since he's about to come back.
So, when he waited in the mansion until Bai Ruo came back, and heard that he had forgiven Shen Xi, the head of the family heaved a sigh of relief, made some superficial efforts, and went to Ning's house to give gifts.
Shen Xi had already thought about it for a long time, and this matter was handled beautifully, Ning Weiyu was happy, Bai's family and Ning's family were happy, everyone was happy.
However, he did not expect that this matter would have endless troubles.
After two years of enthronement, from the second year onwards, the words Shen Xi heard the most were——
"Your Majesty, the Bai family monopolizes rice and grain, and takes advantage of the famine to make a fortune. What they have done is really outrageous!"
"One of Ning's sons took part in the examination, bribed the examiner, and forced to death the person who should have won the championship. Not only did he show no remorse after being arrested, but he threatened to see His Majesty instead."
"Some of the Bai family killed people during the day and hid in the Bai family's mansion. The officials dared not arrest anyone. The relatives of the deceased knelt outside the imperial city and wailed, attracting crowds to watch for several days!"
"Ning's..."
The Bai family and the Ning family, the two great families have grown stronger and stronger since the establishment of the new dynasty. With more branches and leaves, there will naturally be more troubles.However, everyone knows that he favors Ning Weiyu, so the two families become more and more unscrupulous.
"Do you think that you are protecting her by acting like this?" Shen Nan threw the memorial at his feet, and said angrily: "You are raising a tiger to help a tyrant! Ning Weiyu will be killed by you one day!"
His body trembled, Shen Xi frowned, and lowered his head to pick up the booklet to read.
He has a bad temper, and he didn't dare to hand over many papers in court, so they handed them all over to Shen Nan.Opening a book, it is written that the Ning family has wronged the country, which has aroused public outrage. Tens of thousands of people paraded in the streets to demand the abolition of the demon concubine, but they were suppressed by the yamen, resulting in over a hundred deaths and injuries.
shocking.
"Do you understand?" Shen Nan said bitterly: "You are in a position because you can't be willful. You think you love her, but Ning Weiyu will be killed by your love sooner or later! Wait a day The Imperial City of Japan is in disaster, and the Sixth Army does not attack, who do you think will be pushed out to the blood sacrifice?"
His heart skipped a beat, Shen Xi frowned and raised his head, his eyes were full of ruthlessness, which surprised Shen Nan.
"Being a father won't harm you." Shen Nan frowned: "You'd better think carefully."
Want to think about it?Shen Xi sneered, turned around and walked towards the harem.
The heavy palace door opened, and a red shadow rushed over, happily said: "You are here, I haven't seen you for two days!"
He lowered his head and saw her angry eyes, and his heart softened suddenly.
"I've been a little busy these two days." Stretching out his hand to lead her in, Shen Xi asked, "Have you taken care of your body yet?"
Ning Weiyu nodded, followed him to sit down on the soft couch, hugged his arm and said with a smile: "Recently, the palace has been very lively, even when I was lying down, people came to tell me about the outside things, so I will never be bored. "
"Oh?" He looked at her: "Is there anything interesting?"
"I heard that the queen didn't like Zhaoyi, who had just entered the palace, and found a reason to beat him to death. That Zhaoyi also had a strong temper, and left a blood book and threw it directly into the lake. Everyone in the palace is wondering what will happen to you Deal with the queen." Ning Weiyu was speechless: "Our empress is really bad-tempered, she doesn't have the gentleness of the past at all. But fortunately, she never came to provoke me."
Shen Xi smiled lightly, no one in this palace dared to provoke her, he had always protected her, including the palace, because if she really let her stupid head out to fight with others, she would be ashamed of her bones. There will be no left.
Thinking so, he said: "The queen is occasionally stingy, but generally speaking, she is generally sensible. Just leave her alone."
With a wrinkled face, Ning Weiyu asked: "Are you trying to protect the queen?"
Shen Xi raised his eyebrows, the people in the harem were all forced in by officials from outside or other countries, he didn't care about life or death and didn't want to care about it.The queen can cause trouble, so there is naturally a way to deal with it, so he doesn't need to worry about it at all.
The only thing he can worry about is this idiot in front of him.
"That's all." Ning Weiyu said: "I won't tell you these things anymore, I still want to ask you for a letter."
"What?" He tilted his head.
Ning Weiyu gestured: "The girl from the Bai family who married into the Ning family, that is, my sister-in-law, said she wanted to come to the palace to visit me. But she is not a married woman, so I can only ask you for a favor."
Shen Xi nodded: "It's okay, I'll let them bring it to you later."
"Baji" kissed him on the side of the face, Ning Weiyu said with bright eyes: "You are so kind to me!"
He gave her a white look, and he snorted softly: "Who used to always whisper that I treated people badly? Now the tone is changing quickly."
"Hey." Ning Weiyu stretched out her hand to squeeze his shoulders: "Who made you always have a stern face and moody, even I can't figure out what you are thinking, so it is inevitable to think too much."
Stretching out his hand to pull her into his arms, Shen Xi looked down at her, and said seriously: "Ning Weiyu, remember, no matter what happens, no matter what your eyes see, the person who loves you the most in this world is always I."
The person in his arms was dumbfounded, and looked at him with his mouth slightly open, making him unable to bear the heat on his face.
How could Shen Xi say these shameless words?
A little embarrassed, he bowed his head and kissed her.
How can I not spoil her?Shen Xi felt that this was even more difficult than asking himself to change two hundred copies of the papers. He owed her too much before, and now he can't wait to give her all the good things in the world, so how could he be willing to neglect her?
However, on this day, Empress Liang Yin came to his study and brought a maid from Ning Weiyu Palace.
"The concubine is well aware of the position of noble concubines in His Majesty's heart." Liang Yin said, "But there are some things that His Majesty should know even if he doesn't pursue them."
Shen Xi frowned and looked at her, and heard the palace man kneeling next to him say: "Today, the second young lady of the Ning family came to the palace to visit her relatives and brought a man with her. The servants around didn't know about it, but the second lady of the Ning family called the man to be her second wife." elder brother."
The Zhubi paused on the memorial and painted a thick red blob.Shen Xi looked at Liang Yin with gloomy eyes: "What do you mean?"
Liang Yin bowed to him, straightened his back and said: "This is not what the concubine meant. If it were someone else, the concubine would not secretly come to tell His Majesty at all, just deal with it directly. But this is a matter in the imperial concubine's palace, so , the concubine came to inform His Majesty."
No man can tolerate his beloved woman having private meetings with other men, especially the second young master of the Bai family who almost married Ning Weiyu and had ulterior motives for her.
Liang Yin knew Shen Xi's temper, according to his temperament, he would definitely...
"The palace people stay here, you can go." The memorial was closed, and the person on the dragon seat said calmly.
Liang Yin froze for a moment, then looked up at him in disbelief.
Shen Xi looked calm, but his eyes were sharp and cold like ice picks.
Later, Ning Weiyu found out that there was a palace servant missing in her palace, and when she was lying in Shen Xi's arms, she couldn't help asking: "Have you seen Sixi?"
Shen Xi ran down her hair with one hand, held the book with the other, and said calmly: "She has reached her age and left the palace."
"Really?" Ning Weiyu frowned: "You can leave the palace at the age of 20?"
Shen Xi didn't answer her any more, seeing her nagging non-stop, he put down the book, pressed him on the soft couch and kissed her, after that she would blushed obediently and said nothing more.
He didn't ask her if Bai Ruo entered the palace that day, it wasn't to avoid it, but he knew that with her personality of loving herself to death, even if Bai Ruo stood in front of her and said that she would take her away, she would not There will be a half waver.
The words in this world are true and false, but there is only one sentence she said that he firmly believes in.
She said: "I like you, no matter what happens in the future, I will always like you."
Shen Xi stretched out his hand and hugged the person in his arms tightly.
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Fu knelt down in front of him heartbroken: "Western Chu has invaded our border for a month, and no one in the court is willing to go to war. Have you really thought about why?"
"I've thought about it." Putting down the note, Shen Xi looked up at him: "I didn't kill Ning Shi according to your idea, you are dissatisfied with me, and you don't want to listen to me."
Zhao Fu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he bowed his head to the ground: "The direction of the hearts of the people and the direction of the officials are all for His Majesty to suppress the arrogance of the Bai and Ning families. At present, there are many people in power in the court, the Bai and Ning families, and the noble concubine is not dead. Foreign relatives must be in charge!"
"Ning Weiyu didn't do anything wrong." Shen Xi squinted his eyes: "Naturally, I will suppress relatives at home and abroad."
"You still don't understand?" Zhao Fu tremblingly said: "In the current situation, unless you cut through the mess quickly and remove the power of the Ning and Bai families. If you are indecisive, take it slowly. Rooted out!"
His face darkened, and Shen Xi asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Fu took out the memorial and handed it to him, watched him open it, and then explained: "The noble concubine is pregnant, and the Baining and Ning families are very happy. Once the noble concubine gives birth to a prince, they will help the noble concubine to become the empress!"
Frowning slightly, Shen Xi closed the memorial after sweeping his eyes.
Yu'er is pregnant, and he is the happiest person. If he wants to give her the position of queen, it is not impossible.But...he seemed to indulge the Bai Ning family too much.
"The ministers and others are all people who follow His Majesty all the way to fight the country." Zhao Fu couldn't help weeping: "Your Majesty is a wise king, and he governs the country well, but everyone knows in their hearts that you take the Ning family too seriously, and many important officials go back to hiding. None of the generals in the court is willing to go to war again. If His Majesty does not make a decision, the world... may be in chaos."
The general of the Ning family seized the military power and refused to hand it over, and the important officials of the Bai family took pride in their achievements and contradicted the king in court. Shen Nan was so angry that he raised his sword and broke into the harem, but was stopped by him.
"You are the emperor now, and I can't control you." Shen Nan's eyes were bloodshot with anger: "But if you insist on protecting that demon concubine, you will die here today as your father!"
"Father." Shen Xi frowned: "What's wrong with Yu'er?"
Throwing a sword in front of him, Shen Nan said angrily: "Are you still using this as an excuse? She is not wrong, it is you! Weifu said earlier that you would kill her, but you didn't take it to heart .Now you have to bear her responsibility for your mistakes, and you are still obsessed with it?!"
his fault...
Shen Xi was silent, then smiled wryly.
It's really his fault, he can handle other things well, only he lost his sense of proportion in matters related to Ning Weiyu.If you lose your sense of proportion too much, it will lead to a catastrophe.
"Can she not die?" He asked in a low voice.
Shen Nan shook her head: "She must die."
Shen Xi stood, his eyes slowly turning red.
The courtroom was in chaos, he was sitting in the dimness of the imperial study, and the palace people next to him could not bear it any longer, and whispered: "Your Majesty, please take a rest, it has been three days."
He didn't say anything, just waited quietly until Liang Yin finally came in.
"Your Majesty." Liang Yin said, "There is something wrong with the concubine's pregnancy."
There is iron-clad evidence in front of her eyes, saying that Ning Weiyu had an affair with someone and got pregnant, and the thing in her belly was not a dragon species at all.Shen Xi watched quietly, and after a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "Then let's fight."
"Slapped?" Liang Yin seemed not to understand: "Slapped, what else?"
"Others?" Looking up at her, Shen Xi smiled, "What else do you want?"
Liang Yin's face turned pale, he squeezed his handkerchief tightly, and took a while to salute and leave.
"Why don't you believe me?" Ning Weiyu cried miserably, grabbed his sleeve, and said in a very puzzled way: "How could I be unfaithful to you? How is it possible?!"
He tried his best to control himself not to hug her. He looked at her and wanted to say that I might not believe anything in this world, except you alone.
It's just... her life is more important than anything else.
"Do you think she doesn't have to die like this?" Shen Nan frowned, and broke into the Yuqing Palace to question him.
Shen Xi looked up at him.
Seeing his expression, Shen Nan swallowed all the remaining words, stood there frowning for a while, and left.
Concubine Ning fell out of favor, and the emperor was seriously ill for half a month, and he never summoned her once.And wantonly demoted the Ning family and the Bai family from the capital.The Ning family was aggressive at first, saying that they wanted to enter the palace to meet the emperor and concubine.However, after learning that Concubine Ning Gui had fallen out of favor, the Ning family finally stopped.
It took three months to replace the officials in the DPRK and China. After three months, the ruling and opposition parties slowly returned to their previous grand occasion.
Shen Xi was finally able to push open Ning Weiyu's palace door, and finally able to hug her.
However, when the palace door opened again, Ning Weiyu inside looked at him with cold and calm eyes.
He knew she was sad, and he knew how sad she was about losing her child. He was not very good at talking, so he could only try his best to make up for her.
However, no matter how tightly the two of them embraced, there was still a bone-chilling chill coming from her body.
"Since Your Majesty doesn't love me, why didn't you let me go?" She smiled and asked him, "What do you want?"
Seeing her eyes made her heart ache, Shen Xi pursed her lips, barely maintained the dignity of the emperor, and said in a low voice: "I want you to have another child."
He can return her lost child to her. Now that the Bai family and Ning family have been hit hard, the people in the court finally don't resist her that much. It is not difficult for her to have another prince.
He promises that this child will not make any mistakes. If it is a daughter, he will give her a lot of love.If it is a son, give him boundless country.
However, Ning Weiyu didn't seem happy, the two were entangled like before, and he couldn't hear her heartbeat anymore.
Shen Xi felt that he could wait, she must just be too sad, it was his fault, but he made her suffer, he should make amends.Therefore, he treated her better than before, walked with her, accompanied her to swim in the lake, told her interesting stories about the imperial court, and fell asleep with her in his arms.
However, when she gave birth to a prince, she said to him: "I have done what I should do, you should let me go."
Someone once asked Shen Xi, is there anything to be afraid of after becoming an emperor?At that time, he didn't have time to answer, the elder next to him laughed and said: "Emperor, God, what is there to be afraid of?"
But after hearing Ning Weiyu's words, Shen Xi knew that the emperor was really desperate when he became afraid.He owns the world and has countless rich and beauties, but he can't make Ning Weiyu love him like before.
"I never lied to you." He lowered his eyes hoarsely, "When I say I like you, I really like you."
"But I lied to you." Ning Weiyu smiled brightly: "I said I would always like you, but now, I don't like you anymore."
He was really angry, and locked her in the palace angrily, not allowing her to leave.When leaving the harem, he vomited blood.
However, after wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he still couldn't help but give an extra instruction: "Don't cut short the price, take good care of her, let her see whoever she wants to see."
"Your Majesty..." The servant next to him supported him choked with sobs, but he shook his hands and walked slowly towards the imperial study by himself.
"Where are you going, son? Can you take the little girl with you?"
The crisp voice echoed between the heaven and the earth, Shen Xi raised his head, but there was nothing in front of him, only him standing in front of the majestic palace, far away.
Bai Ruo rebelled.
The letter from the harem was intercepted by his personal guards and sent to him.
"Ning Guifei really went too far this time!" The people around him said angrily: "If you want to vent or get revenge, it's fine to make a small fuss. If you turn your elbows outward like this, how did you grow your heart?"
"The deployment of troops near the imperial city has been fully known by the rebels, and the most urgent thing is to let the princes serve as kings as soon as possible." Zhao Fu said: "Your Majesty, you have indulged the noble concubine for so many years, and now you have finally indulged her to plot treason and commit crimes. Have you ever felt regretful?" ?”
After asking this question, Shen Xi didn't expect Shen Xi to answer, so he turned around and left.
Shen Xi quietly looked at the letters on the table, and after a while, got up and went to the harem.
"Do you still hate me?" he asked her in a low voice.
Ning Weiyu frowned and looked at him, then smiled lightly: "Your Majesty is serious, the concubine is His Majesty's noble concubine, how can you hate Your Majesty?"
Having said that, she clearly hated him to the core.Shen Xi smiled lowly, since that's the case, the more you hate him, the harder it will be to forget him.
He took her out, and performed a good show of "Ling Chi" in front of everyone.Then decided to let her go.
"Will you?" Bai Ruo asked with a sneer while sitting opposite him.
He reached out and passed a box over, and said calmly: "Second Young Master also let go of her once, in exchange for her gratitude, and always felt that you are the best person in this world to her."
"Oh?" Bai Ruo glanced at him, "Are you trying to imitate me now?"
"No." Shen Xi pursed his lips: "Even if I let go, what I want to exchange is not her gratitude, but her eternal hatred for me."
Hate is much stronger than gratitude, he would rather she hate him than be treated as a past friend like Bai Ruo, casually mentioned in her mouth.
He is different to her.
"Aren't you going to explain?" Bai Ruo said, "Actually, there is room for it."
room?Shen Xi smiled, and his eyes turned red with a smile: "It's long gone."
He and her have lost their relationship since the loss of their first child. For so many years, he has been struggling.She is living in pain, so why isn't he suffering.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he convinced himself to let go.
"I'll give you a chance to take her away." Standing up, Shen Xi whispered, "You must remember to move quickly."
"What?" Bai Ruo frowned, "Isn't it okay to take this medicine too late?"
"No." Shen Xi shook his head, closed his eyes and said, "I'm afraid that if you walk slowly, I won't be able to resist snatching you back."
Ning Weiyu never knew how much he loved her. In her eyes, she was indifferent and ruthless, taking the country as the most important thing, and only treated her as a plaything.She will never know his feelings, and will never feel that he loves her more than Bai Ruo.
The snow in this winter is really cold, and the bow and arrow in his hand almost couldn't be opened. Looking at her back, his heart hurts so much that he can't breathe.
It's really...not even willing to look back.
……
"Mr. Shen, if you treat me like this now, you may regret it in the future." She blinked and said to him with her hands behind her back: "A smart and lovely girl like me, you will definitely love me badly in the future."
"No shame!" He frowned, "Who would like someone like you?"
Wrinkling her nose, Ning Weiyu said discouragedly: "Then it's too unfair, I have always liked you, and you don't even want to look back at me."
"Humph."
……
The tip of the arrow trembled slightly, Shen Xihong stared at the red shadow, gritted her teeth, and finally shot the arrow.
A red flower bloomed in the snow, it was a frequent visitor in his dreams after returning to Beijing.
Later, when the rebellion was put down, he was condemned by the Chinese people in Beijing, saying that for the sake of the country, he did not hesitate to kill his favorite concubine in order to win the kings of all walks of life.There are also many poems and essays that pity the confidante's life and lament the ruthlessness of the emperor.
Only the courtiers who served in the Yuqing Palace knew that the emperor who conquered the world when he was young, and now sits in the mountains and rivers, often sat alone in a dark corner in a daze.He also eats, sleeps, and changes memorials.But for some reason, his body lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The little prince hadn't even turned one year old yet, so the emperor made him the crown prince, and appointed five highly respected ministers in the court to teach and take care of him.
There was no Concubine Ning in the palace, and no one in the court had any objections to him, but... even Zhao Fu couldn't talk to him about anything other than political matters.
Liang Yin knew why Shen Xi became like this, no matter how unwilling she was, no matter how annoyed she was, she still felt sorry for him.
"If I had known, I would have kept her." Liang Yin choked with sobs: "At least you can still behave well."
Will Ning Weiyu be left behind?Shen Xi smiled lowly and shook his head.
He couldn't keep her, even if he didn't let her go, but let her stay in the palace, he would only end up like himself now.
He couldn't bear it, he felt distressed.
"There is a rebellion in Anshan." Zhao Fu said: "Maybe it's the remnants of the past, I have already said that we must get rid of the roots..."
"I'll go there myself." Shen Xi stood up.
The imperial conquest is for a small nest of thieves?No one in the court could understand, but the queen knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times, asking Shen Nan to agree, and persuading all the officials in court, Chinese and military.
A few days before leaving the palace, Shen Xi finally looked like a man, first went to salute Shen Nan, then hugged the little prince, and told the palace servants to take good care of him with gentle eyes.The palace servants responded blankly, and hearing his tone, they shed tears inexplicably.
Shen Xi arranged everything and wrote a secret letter to the five assistant ministers.People who didn't know about it complained slightly, saying that the emperor shouldn't leave Beijing because of such trivial matters.However, the few ministers who knew about it knelt at the gate of the imperial city and respectfully sent the emperor away.
Riding on the horse, Shen Xi had an illusion, he felt as if he had returned to many years ago, when he rode out from Shen's mansion, and took two more steps, a little girl would run in front of him, blocking his way with outstretched arms, He smiled and said that he would go with him.
After thinking about it, a person really appeared in front of him.
Lie Lie was dressed in red, with frosty eyes, and Ning Weiyu led someone to block his way, with the three-inch green blade shining brightly in his hand.
He smiled, looked at her face, and stretched out his hand involuntarily.
He said, "Yu'er, I'm back."
Ning Weiyu obviously didn't accept his favor, so she rushed over and stabbed him in the heart.
He rolled off the horse, watched his blood flow into the snow, and looked at her with a smile: "Yu'er, why did you come to kill me?"
If she doesn't come, he will go too. It's so cold and it's not easy for horses to travel. How can she, who hates horse riding the most, ride so far?What's more, he has not yet shaken off the large group of guards behind him.She came, but she couldn't live.
"Why?" Ning Weiyu raised her head and laughed, squatting down, the corner of her red clothes on his blood-stained armor: "The last thing I want to do in this life is to send you to hell."
"And then?" He pursed his lips, coughed up a big mouthful of blood, and looked at her lingeringly: "Do you want to be buried for me?"
Ning Weiyu smiled lightly, turned her hand to squeeze out a pill, her eyelids were half closed, and said coldly: "I don't want to sleep with you in my life, and I don't even want to die with you. You owe me this sword, but I In this life, you won't be clear even after death, even if it's the road to the underworld, you don't have the right to accompany me!"
With a sudden shock, he looked up at her in disbelief.
"You think I'm here to look for you?" She looked at him and smiled cruelly: "How is it possible, I just can't die anyway, so the person who came to look for you gave me a ride. And you, live well Come on, live in guilt for my eternity, and don't appear in front of me again."
After finishing speaking, he firmly stuffed the box containing the elixir into his arms.
Shen Xi looked at her face dumbly, feeling that he was going to pass out, and stretched out his hand to her unwillingly: "Yu'er, I'm a little cold, can you... hug me?"
Ning Weiyu sneered, stood still, and was pinned down in the snow by his guards who chased after him.
"Don't..." Trying to hold his eyelids, he shouted hoarsely, "Don't hurt her..."
Before he finished shouting, there was darkness between the sky and the earth.
He doesn't want to wake up, even if eternal life is darkness, he doesn't want to open his eyes and be left alone.
……
Ning Chiyu opened his eyes and sat up blankly.
The surroundings were dark, she seemed to be in a tomb, and two lights were faintly on.
Touching his red and swollen eyes, before Ning Chiyu came back to his senses, he heard someone beside him say: "Since you want to remember, why don't you see what he has experienced, otherwise, with his temperament, he won't follow him." You explained."
"Who?" Chi Yu frowned.
Nanny Zheng held up the lamp and looked at her with complicated eyes.
"Nurse?" A light flashed in his mind, and countless pictures flew over, and Chi Yu hugged his head and groaned.
"I'm sorry." Madam Zheng reached out and touched her hair, her eyes were a little red: "There are thousands of mistakes, and it's all Nanny's fault."
Why do you say that?Chi Yu didn't have the energy to ask, she thought of many things, the bright red flowers blooming in the snow, the fire in the Pearl Pavilion of the Prince of Mercy's Mansion, Shen Xi who was wearing armor with serious eyes, and the red dress Shen Guyuan with white hair and desolate eyes.
Her heart was so stuffy that she wanted to cry.
"Nurse..." With a hoarse voice, Chi Yu looked up at her, choked up and asked, "Why do you want me to remember?"
Mother Zheng bowed her head: "Before, the master was afraid that you would think of it, and that you would never forgive him after you remembered it. But now, you don't have any place for him in your heart, and you don't intend to have anything to do with him. What's the difference between not remembering and not remembering?"
Her throat hurt badly, Chi Yu looked at her blankly, and shook her head after a long while: "You are partial to Shen Xi."
If it wasn't for favoritism, how could she let her lie in this great ancestor's coffin and remember what Shen Xi had experienced. If only her memories were returned to her, her heart would definitely not be as painful as it is now!
It really hurts, she is the one who hurts like being stabbed through the heart in the snow.
Mother Zheng sighed: "You don't believe me if I say I'm not partial. I really feel sorry for that child. If you can't remember it, he will never get out of this memory, suffering for decades or hundreds of years. Even thousands of years. He will not die, he has an infinite lifespan, and at the same time, there will be endless pain, are you really willing?"
"Why am I reluctant?" Chi Yu pursed his lips: "It was he who hurt me without telling me, and he is the one who promised me to Shen Zhibai without saying anything in this life. What does his pain have to do with me?"
After all, dig out the coffin and go out.
"Miss Chiyu!" Madam Zheng shouted, she pretended not to hear, and left the imperial mausoleum straight away.
Shen Zhibai felt that Ning Chiyu went to climb the mountain, and he seemed to be a little different when he came back. Although he was still gentle and considerate to him, there seemed to be a lot more in those eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked with concern.
When he came back to his senses, Ning Chiyu shook his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing serious, what did you just say?"
Shen Zhibai pursed his lips, hesitated for a while before saying: "I said just now, since you and I live together with peace of mind, why not... consummate the house tonight."
After a slight pause, Chi Yu looked away, pinched his sleeves and nodded stiffly: "Okay."
Shen Zhibai turned her face back and asked seriously: "What happened?"
"No." Chi Yu blinked: "Do I look like someone who has something to do?"
With a low laugh, Shen Zhibai shook his head: "You've never been able to hide it from me."
Years ago, she could not hide the truth from him by pretending to let go of Shen Xi, and now, many years later, she still cannot hide it from him by pretending to be happy.
Chi Yu froze, looking at the expression of the person in front of him, he remembered what Bai Ruo once said to Ning Weiyu standing in the yard.
He said: "Just do what you want to do, come back when you are tired, and I will wait for you here."
(End of this chapter)
Shen Xi is a prudent person, at least in the eyes of outsiders, so when he crazily snatched the daughter-in-law of the Bai family as his own, his father summoned him to the Hall of Supreme Purity, and the crowd Those who fought with him all knelt in front of him.
"Young master, this is absolutely impossible!" Lieutenant General Zhao Fu frowned and shook his head: "If you marry Miss Ning, you will offend the Bai family and the Ning family, which will be harmful instead of beneficial! Right now is the opportunity for your great career to come true. , can't stand civil strife!"
Shen Xi looked at him calmly and asked, "Do I want you to take care of my own housework now?"
"What are you talking about!" Shen Nan said angrily: "Do you think you are still just a general who leads troops to fight? You are in this position, housework is the world's affairs, and you can still do whatever you want ?!"
"But she is already mine." Shen Xi smiled: "Just letting people go back like this, wouldn't it offend the Ning and Bai families even more?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and Shen Nan's face was even more ugly: "You have nothing to hide from your mouth!"
"Tell the truth." Shen Xi got up, looked at them and said, "I will handle this matter myself. I must marry Ning Weiyu. As for the Ning family and the Bai family, it has nothing to do with me whether they are happy or not." ?”
To put it bluntly, these two families are just famous families, and they are really not enough to point fingers in front of him in terms of power and wealth.The new dynasty was about to be established, and this group of people was too cautious, and completely lost the decision to charge on the battlefield.
Shen Xi didn't like the Bai family, but the Ning family didn't care, if they accepted, then he would come to the door to hire him, if they didn't accept, then it would be fine.Is there anything worth bothering about?
However, when he stepped into the bedroom, he heard Ning Weiyu's worried voice.
"Dad, do they hate me to death?" She knelt on the side of the bed, holding the maid's hand and said blankly: "I am indeed unfilial. Every time I do things, I don't consider their feelings, nor do I think about them."
"Miss." The servant girl sighed helplessly: "You are the daughter of the master's direct relative, even if you make a big mistake, it is still a blood relationship. The master is indeed very angry this time, but he may not deny you..."
"Don't comfort me." Ning Weiyu smiled wryly: "Is it possible that I don't know what kind of temper the old man has? He already owes favors to the Bai family, and this time such a thing happened in the wedding... must be embarrassing and annoyed." , shameless to see others. Right now, I am afraid that if I go back to plead guilty, he will ignore me."
The maid was silent.
He stood outside for a while, his hostility slowly dissipated, and he thought about it seriously.
The next day, he went to Ningfu in a micro-clothes.
With Shen Xi's current status, even if the Ning family didn't want to see him anymore, they could only respectfully invite him in and serve them fragrant tea.However, the etiquette is thorough, but the master of the Ning family has a deep prejudice against him, before he could finish speaking, he said: "Ning Weiyu is no longer from my Ning family, if you want to marry her, you don't have to come and tell me. "
The words were so sharp that all the concubines beside him were trembling, and those who stood close even pulled Master Laning's sleeve and winked in panic.
Everyone knew that Shen Xi was the new emperor who was about to ascend the throne, how could he be so rude when speaking to him?Besides, it was rumored that this person had a bad temper, so it was already a big deal to propose marriage on his own initiative. If he was offended, wouldn't the entire Ning family be able to eat and walk around?
Master Ning raised his chin, looking like he was not afraid of power.
However, Shen Xi was not angry, his face did not change, he just stood up and said: "Maybe it's a bad day today, Mr. Shen will come back another day."
This sentence stunned the people present, and all the aunts and uncles looked at his back in shock.
After they walked out, someone asked in a low voice: "Is this really Shen Xi?"
"Is it him or who? I met him once."
"But this...is it as irritable as people say? Uncle has said so, yet he still wants to come."
The aunt next to Master Ning sighed, shook her head and said, "You really like our Yu'er."
Master Ning snorted coldly, disapproving.
For the next month, Shen Xi really came to Ning's house every two days. Master Ning couldn't bear to see it, and finally said: "This marriage is not hurting my Ning family, but the Bai family. If you can With the consent of the Bai family, the old man will naturally have no more complaints."
What kind of joke are you making Shen Xi bow to the Bai family?The people around Shen Xi felt it was ridiculous. His master had always been arrogant, so he didn't like the Bai family, so how could he bow his head?
Shen Xi naturally did not bow his head, but first invited several members of the Bai family into the palace.
"...Are you serious?" The head of the Bai family looked up in disbelief.
Shen Xi sat across from them, and nodded calmly: "It's hard to chase after a word, no matter how many shops you open in the Bai family, no one will collect taxes for 50 years."
This was really shocking. When the Bai family entered the palace, they expected that Shen Xi would appease them, but they did not expect that the appease given would be so sincere, and... it was impossible to refuse.
Excessive miscellaneous taxes have always been a burden on businessmen. Many businessmen are thinking of ways to evade taxes. This man is good enough to allow them to pay no taxes for 50 years.The benefits are not measurable in simple money at all.
After hesitating again and again, Master Bai asked, "Is this for us to agree to give up the Ning family?"
Shen Xi smiled: "The Ning family is mine without your concessions, and she is not someone who can be bought with 50 years of taxation. What I did was just to make friends with the Bai family."
These words left the Bai family speechless, who would reject Shen Xi's offer of friendship?Didn't the brain get kicked by a donkey?But... the current situation is really embarrassing, even if the head of the family wants to agree, he still has some consideration for Bai Ruo's feelings.
"Master." Someone from the side came in and reported, "Master Bai has arrived."
Master Bai was startled, raised his head for no reason, and saw Shen Xi saying: "I have to go chat with him, Master Bai, please go back, my promise, no matter what the situation is, will be fulfilled."
"..." Watching Shen Xi go out with a complicated mood, the Bai family was in a dilemma. He originally thought that Shen Xi had gone too far, no matter how much compensation he gave, it would not be able to make up for the loss of the Bai family's face.But now... Having said that, he felt that it would be a good thing if Bai Ruo's child could let go, at least Fuze's entire Bai family.It's not a loss for him to be able to make friends with Shen Xi since he's about to come back.
So, when he waited in the mansion until Bai Ruo came back, and heard that he had forgiven Shen Xi, the head of the family heaved a sigh of relief, made some superficial efforts, and went to Ning's house to give gifts.
Shen Xi had already thought about it for a long time, and this matter was handled beautifully, Ning Weiyu was happy, Bai's family and Ning's family were happy, everyone was happy.
However, he did not expect that this matter would have endless troubles.
After two years of enthronement, from the second year onwards, the words Shen Xi heard the most were——
"Your Majesty, the Bai family monopolizes rice and grain, and takes advantage of the famine to make a fortune. What they have done is really outrageous!"
"One of Ning's sons took part in the examination, bribed the examiner, and forced to death the person who should have won the championship. Not only did he show no remorse after being arrested, but he threatened to see His Majesty instead."
"Some of the Bai family killed people during the day and hid in the Bai family's mansion. The officials dared not arrest anyone. The relatives of the deceased knelt outside the imperial city and wailed, attracting crowds to watch for several days!"
"Ning's..."
The Bai family and the Ning family, the two great families have grown stronger and stronger since the establishment of the new dynasty. With more branches and leaves, there will naturally be more troubles.However, everyone knows that he favors Ning Weiyu, so the two families become more and more unscrupulous.
"Do you think that you are protecting her by acting like this?" Shen Nan threw the memorial at his feet, and said angrily: "You are raising a tiger to help a tyrant! Ning Weiyu will be killed by you one day!"
His body trembled, Shen Xi frowned, and lowered his head to pick up the booklet to read.
He has a bad temper, and he didn't dare to hand over many papers in court, so they handed them all over to Shen Nan.Opening a book, it is written that the Ning family has wronged the country, which has aroused public outrage. Tens of thousands of people paraded in the streets to demand the abolition of the demon concubine, but they were suppressed by the yamen, resulting in over a hundred deaths and injuries.
shocking.
"Do you understand?" Shen Nan said bitterly: "You are in a position because you can't be willful. You think you love her, but Ning Weiyu will be killed by your love sooner or later! Wait a day The Imperial City of Japan is in disaster, and the Sixth Army does not attack, who do you think will be pushed out to the blood sacrifice?"
His heart skipped a beat, Shen Xi frowned and raised his head, his eyes were full of ruthlessness, which surprised Shen Nan.
"Being a father won't harm you." Shen Nan frowned: "You'd better think carefully."
Want to think about it?Shen Xi sneered, turned around and walked towards the harem.
The heavy palace door opened, and a red shadow rushed over, happily said: "You are here, I haven't seen you for two days!"
He lowered his head and saw her angry eyes, and his heart softened suddenly.
"I've been a little busy these two days." Stretching out his hand to lead her in, Shen Xi asked, "Have you taken care of your body yet?"
Ning Weiyu nodded, followed him to sit down on the soft couch, hugged his arm and said with a smile: "Recently, the palace has been very lively, even when I was lying down, people came to tell me about the outside things, so I will never be bored. "
"Oh?" He looked at her: "Is there anything interesting?"
"I heard that the queen didn't like Zhaoyi, who had just entered the palace, and found a reason to beat him to death. That Zhaoyi also had a strong temper, and left a blood book and threw it directly into the lake. Everyone in the palace is wondering what will happen to you Deal with the queen." Ning Weiyu was speechless: "Our empress is really bad-tempered, she doesn't have the gentleness of the past at all. But fortunately, she never came to provoke me."
Shen Xi smiled lightly, no one in this palace dared to provoke her, he had always protected her, including the palace, because if she really let her stupid head out to fight with others, she would be ashamed of her bones. There will be no left.
Thinking so, he said: "The queen is occasionally stingy, but generally speaking, she is generally sensible. Just leave her alone."
With a wrinkled face, Ning Weiyu asked: "Are you trying to protect the queen?"
Shen Xi raised his eyebrows, the people in the harem were all forced in by officials from outside or other countries, he didn't care about life or death and didn't want to care about it.The queen can cause trouble, so there is naturally a way to deal with it, so he doesn't need to worry about it at all.
The only thing he can worry about is this idiot in front of him.
"That's all." Ning Weiyu said: "I won't tell you these things anymore, I still want to ask you for a letter."
"What?" He tilted his head.
Ning Weiyu gestured: "The girl from the Bai family who married into the Ning family, that is, my sister-in-law, said she wanted to come to the palace to visit me. But she is not a married woman, so I can only ask you for a favor."
Shen Xi nodded: "It's okay, I'll let them bring it to you later."
"Baji" kissed him on the side of the face, Ning Weiyu said with bright eyes: "You are so kind to me!"
He gave her a white look, and he snorted softly: "Who used to always whisper that I treated people badly? Now the tone is changing quickly."
"Hey." Ning Weiyu stretched out her hand to squeeze his shoulders: "Who made you always have a stern face and moody, even I can't figure out what you are thinking, so it is inevitable to think too much."
Stretching out his hand to pull her into his arms, Shen Xi looked down at her, and said seriously: "Ning Weiyu, remember, no matter what happens, no matter what your eyes see, the person who loves you the most in this world is always I."
The person in his arms was dumbfounded, and looked at him with his mouth slightly open, making him unable to bear the heat on his face.
How could Shen Xi say these shameless words?
A little embarrassed, he bowed his head and kissed her.
How can I not spoil her?Shen Xi felt that this was even more difficult than asking himself to change two hundred copies of the papers. He owed her too much before, and now he can't wait to give her all the good things in the world, so how could he be willing to neglect her?
However, on this day, Empress Liang Yin came to his study and brought a maid from Ning Weiyu Palace.
"The concubine is well aware of the position of noble concubines in His Majesty's heart." Liang Yin said, "But there are some things that His Majesty should know even if he doesn't pursue them."
Shen Xi frowned and looked at her, and heard the palace man kneeling next to him say: "Today, the second young lady of the Ning family came to the palace to visit her relatives and brought a man with her. The servants around didn't know about it, but the second lady of the Ning family called the man to be her second wife." elder brother."
The Zhubi paused on the memorial and painted a thick red blob.Shen Xi looked at Liang Yin with gloomy eyes: "What do you mean?"
Liang Yin bowed to him, straightened his back and said: "This is not what the concubine meant. If it were someone else, the concubine would not secretly come to tell His Majesty at all, just deal with it directly. But this is a matter in the imperial concubine's palace, so , the concubine came to inform His Majesty."
No man can tolerate his beloved woman having private meetings with other men, especially the second young master of the Bai family who almost married Ning Weiyu and had ulterior motives for her.
Liang Yin knew Shen Xi's temper, according to his temperament, he would definitely...
"The palace people stay here, you can go." The memorial was closed, and the person on the dragon seat said calmly.
Liang Yin froze for a moment, then looked up at him in disbelief.
Shen Xi looked calm, but his eyes were sharp and cold like ice picks.
Later, Ning Weiyu found out that there was a palace servant missing in her palace, and when she was lying in Shen Xi's arms, she couldn't help asking: "Have you seen Sixi?"
Shen Xi ran down her hair with one hand, held the book with the other, and said calmly: "She has reached her age and left the palace."
"Really?" Ning Weiyu frowned: "You can leave the palace at the age of 20?"
Shen Xi didn't answer her any more, seeing her nagging non-stop, he put down the book, pressed him on the soft couch and kissed her, after that she would blushed obediently and said nothing more.
He didn't ask her if Bai Ruo entered the palace that day, it wasn't to avoid it, but he knew that with her personality of loving herself to death, even if Bai Ruo stood in front of her and said that she would take her away, she would not There will be a half waver.
The words in this world are true and false, but there is only one sentence she said that he firmly believes in.
She said: "I like you, no matter what happens in the future, I will always like you."
Shen Xi stretched out his hand and hugged the person in his arms tightly.
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Fu knelt down in front of him heartbroken: "Western Chu has invaded our border for a month, and no one in the court is willing to go to war. Have you really thought about why?"
"I've thought about it." Putting down the note, Shen Xi looked up at him: "I didn't kill Ning Shi according to your idea, you are dissatisfied with me, and you don't want to listen to me."
Zhao Fu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he bowed his head to the ground: "The direction of the hearts of the people and the direction of the officials are all for His Majesty to suppress the arrogance of the Bai and Ning families. At present, there are many people in power in the court, the Bai and Ning families, and the noble concubine is not dead. Foreign relatives must be in charge!"
"Ning Weiyu didn't do anything wrong." Shen Xi squinted his eyes: "Naturally, I will suppress relatives at home and abroad."
"You still don't understand?" Zhao Fu tremblingly said: "In the current situation, unless you cut through the mess quickly and remove the power of the Ning and Bai families. If you are indecisive, take it slowly. Rooted out!"
His face darkened, and Shen Xi asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Fu took out the memorial and handed it to him, watched him open it, and then explained: "The noble concubine is pregnant, and the Baining and Ning families are very happy. Once the noble concubine gives birth to a prince, they will help the noble concubine to become the empress!"
Frowning slightly, Shen Xi closed the memorial after sweeping his eyes.
Yu'er is pregnant, and he is the happiest person. If he wants to give her the position of queen, it is not impossible.But...he seemed to indulge the Bai Ning family too much.
"The ministers and others are all people who follow His Majesty all the way to fight the country." Zhao Fu couldn't help weeping: "Your Majesty is a wise king, and he governs the country well, but everyone knows in their hearts that you take the Ning family too seriously, and many important officials go back to hiding. None of the generals in the court is willing to go to war again. If His Majesty does not make a decision, the world... may be in chaos."
The general of the Ning family seized the military power and refused to hand it over, and the important officials of the Bai family took pride in their achievements and contradicted the king in court. Shen Nan was so angry that he raised his sword and broke into the harem, but was stopped by him.
"You are the emperor now, and I can't control you." Shen Nan's eyes were bloodshot with anger: "But if you insist on protecting that demon concubine, you will die here today as your father!"
"Father." Shen Xi frowned: "What's wrong with Yu'er?"
Throwing a sword in front of him, Shen Nan said angrily: "Are you still using this as an excuse? She is not wrong, it is you! Weifu said earlier that you would kill her, but you didn't take it to heart .Now you have to bear her responsibility for your mistakes, and you are still obsessed with it?!"
his fault...
Shen Xi was silent, then smiled wryly.
It's really his fault, he can handle other things well, only he lost his sense of proportion in matters related to Ning Weiyu.If you lose your sense of proportion too much, it will lead to a catastrophe.
"Can she not die?" He asked in a low voice.
Shen Nan shook her head: "She must die."
Shen Xi stood, his eyes slowly turning red.
The courtroom was in chaos, he was sitting in the dimness of the imperial study, and the palace people next to him could not bear it any longer, and whispered: "Your Majesty, please take a rest, it has been three days."
He didn't say anything, just waited quietly until Liang Yin finally came in.
"Your Majesty." Liang Yin said, "There is something wrong with the concubine's pregnancy."
There is iron-clad evidence in front of her eyes, saying that Ning Weiyu had an affair with someone and got pregnant, and the thing in her belly was not a dragon species at all.Shen Xi watched quietly, and after a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "Then let's fight."
"Slapped?" Liang Yin seemed not to understand: "Slapped, what else?"
"Others?" Looking up at her, Shen Xi smiled, "What else do you want?"
Liang Yin's face turned pale, he squeezed his handkerchief tightly, and took a while to salute and leave.
"Why don't you believe me?" Ning Weiyu cried miserably, grabbed his sleeve, and said in a very puzzled way: "How could I be unfaithful to you? How is it possible?!"
He tried his best to control himself not to hug her. He looked at her and wanted to say that I might not believe anything in this world, except you alone.
It's just... her life is more important than anything else.
"Do you think she doesn't have to die like this?" Shen Nan frowned, and broke into the Yuqing Palace to question him.
Shen Xi looked up at him.
Seeing his expression, Shen Nan swallowed all the remaining words, stood there frowning for a while, and left.
Concubine Ning fell out of favor, and the emperor was seriously ill for half a month, and he never summoned her once.And wantonly demoted the Ning family and the Bai family from the capital.The Ning family was aggressive at first, saying that they wanted to enter the palace to meet the emperor and concubine.However, after learning that Concubine Ning Gui had fallen out of favor, the Ning family finally stopped.
It took three months to replace the officials in the DPRK and China. After three months, the ruling and opposition parties slowly returned to their previous grand occasion.
Shen Xi was finally able to push open Ning Weiyu's palace door, and finally able to hug her.
However, when the palace door opened again, Ning Weiyu inside looked at him with cold and calm eyes.
He knew she was sad, and he knew how sad she was about losing her child. He was not very good at talking, so he could only try his best to make up for her.
However, no matter how tightly the two of them embraced, there was still a bone-chilling chill coming from her body.
"Since Your Majesty doesn't love me, why didn't you let me go?" She smiled and asked him, "What do you want?"
Seeing her eyes made her heart ache, Shen Xi pursed her lips, barely maintained the dignity of the emperor, and said in a low voice: "I want you to have another child."
He can return her lost child to her. Now that the Bai family and Ning family have been hit hard, the people in the court finally don't resist her that much. It is not difficult for her to have another prince.
He promises that this child will not make any mistakes. If it is a daughter, he will give her a lot of love.If it is a son, give him boundless country.
However, Ning Weiyu didn't seem happy, the two were entangled like before, and he couldn't hear her heartbeat anymore.
Shen Xi felt that he could wait, she must just be too sad, it was his fault, but he made her suffer, he should make amends.Therefore, he treated her better than before, walked with her, accompanied her to swim in the lake, told her interesting stories about the imperial court, and fell asleep with her in his arms.
However, when she gave birth to a prince, she said to him: "I have done what I should do, you should let me go."
Someone once asked Shen Xi, is there anything to be afraid of after becoming an emperor?At that time, he didn't have time to answer, the elder next to him laughed and said: "Emperor, God, what is there to be afraid of?"
But after hearing Ning Weiyu's words, Shen Xi knew that the emperor was really desperate when he became afraid.He owns the world and has countless rich and beauties, but he can't make Ning Weiyu love him like before.
"I never lied to you." He lowered his eyes hoarsely, "When I say I like you, I really like you."
"But I lied to you." Ning Weiyu smiled brightly: "I said I would always like you, but now, I don't like you anymore."
He was really angry, and locked her in the palace angrily, not allowing her to leave.When leaving the harem, he vomited blood.
However, after wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he still couldn't help but give an extra instruction: "Don't cut short the price, take good care of her, let her see whoever she wants to see."
"Your Majesty..." The servant next to him supported him choked with sobs, but he shook his hands and walked slowly towards the imperial study by himself.
"Where are you going, son? Can you take the little girl with you?"
The crisp voice echoed between the heaven and the earth, Shen Xi raised his head, but there was nothing in front of him, only him standing in front of the majestic palace, far away.
Bai Ruo rebelled.
The letter from the harem was intercepted by his personal guards and sent to him.
"Ning Guifei really went too far this time!" The people around him said angrily: "If you want to vent or get revenge, it's fine to make a small fuss. If you turn your elbows outward like this, how did you grow your heart?"
"The deployment of troops near the imperial city has been fully known by the rebels, and the most urgent thing is to let the princes serve as kings as soon as possible." Zhao Fu said: "Your Majesty, you have indulged the noble concubine for so many years, and now you have finally indulged her to plot treason and commit crimes. Have you ever felt regretful?" ?”
After asking this question, Shen Xi didn't expect Shen Xi to answer, so he turned around and left.
Shen Xi quietly looked at the letters on the table, and after a while, got up and went to the harem.
"Do you still hate me?" he asked her in a low voice.
Ning Weiyu frowned and looked at him, then smiled lightly: "Your Majesty is serious, the concubine is His Majesty's noble concubine, how can you hate Your Majesty?"
Having said that, she clearly hated him to the core.Shen Xi smiled lowly, since that's the case, the more you hate him, the harder it will be to forget him.
He took her out, and performed a good show of "Ling Chi" in front of everyone.Then decided to let her go.
"Will you?" Bai Ruo asked with a sneer while sitting opposite him.
He reached out and passed a box over, and said calmly: "Second Young Master also let go of her once, in exchange for her gratitude, and always felt that you are the best person in this world to her."
"Oh?" Bai Ruo glanced at him, "Are you trying to imitate me now?"
"No." Shen Xi pursed his lips: "Even if I let go, what I want to exchange is not her gratitude, but her eternal hatred for me."
Hate is much stronger than gratitude, he would rather she hate him than be treated as a past friend like Bai Ruo, casually mentioned in her mouth.
He is different to her.
"Aren't you going to explain?" Bai Ruo said, "Actually, there is room for it."
room?Shen Xi smiled, and his eyes turned red with a smile: "It's long gone."
He and her have lost their relationship since the loss of their first child. For so many years, he has been struggling.She is living in pain, so why isn't he suffering.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he convinced himself to let go.
"I'll give you a chance to take her away." Standing up, Shen Xi whispered, "You must remember to move quickly."
"What?" Bai Ruo frowned, "Isn't it okay to take this medicine too late?"
"No." Shen Xi shook his head, closed his eyes and said, "I'm afraid that if you walk slowly, I won't be able to resist snatching you back."
Ning Weiyu never knew how much he loved her. In her eyes, she was indifferent and ruthless, taking the country as the most important thing, and only treated her as a plaything.She will never know his feelings, and will never feel that he loves her more than Bai Ruo.
The snow in this winter is really cold, and the bow and arrow in his hand almost couldn't be opened. Looking at her back, his heart hurts so much that he can't breathe.
It's really...not even willing to look back.
……
"Mr. Shen, if you treat me like this now, you may regret it in the future." She blinked and said to him with her hands behind her back: "A smart and lovely girl like me, you will definitely love me badly in the future."
"No shame!" He frowned, "Who would like someone like you?"
Wrinkling her nose, Ning Weiyu said discouragedly: "Then it's too unfair, I have always liked you, and you don't even want to look back at me."
"Humph."
……
The tip of the arrow trembled slightly, Shen Xihong stared at the red shadow, gritted her teeth, and finally shot the arrow.
A red flower bloomed in the snow, it was a frequent visitor in his dreams after returning to Beijing.
Later, when the rebellion was put down, he was condemned by the Chinese people in Beijing, saying that for the sake of the country, he did not hesitate to kill his favorite concubine in order to win the kings of all walks of life.There are also many poems and essays that pity the confidante's life and lament the ruthlessness of the emperor.
Only the courtiers who served in the Yuqing Palace knew that the emperor who conquered the world when he was young, and now sits in the mountains and rivers, often sat alone in a dark corner in a daze.He also eats, sleeps, and changes memorials.But for some reason, his body lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The little prince hadn't even turned one year old yet, so the emperor made him the crown prince, and appointed five highly respected ministers in the court to teach and take care of him.
There was no Concubine Ning in the palace, and no one in the court had any objections to him, but... even Zhao Fu couldn't talk to him about anything other than political matters.
Liang Yin knew why Shen Xi became like this, no matter how unwilling she was, no matter how annoyed she was, she still felt sorry for him.
"If I had known, I would have kept her." Liang Yin choked with sobs: "At least you can still behave well."
Will Ning Weiyu be left behind?Shen Xi smiled lowly and shook his head.
He couldn't keep her, even if he didn't let her go, but let her stay in the palace, he would only end up like himself now.
He couldn't bear it, he felt distressed.
"There is a rebellion in Anshan." Zhao Fu said: "Maybe it's the remnants of the past, I have already said that we must get rid of the roots..."
"I'll go there myself." Shen Xi stood up.
The imperial conquest is for a small nest of thieves?No one in the court could understand, but the queen knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times, asking Shen Nan to agree, and persuading all the officials in court, Chinese and military.
A few days before leaving the palace, Shen Xi finally looked like a man, first went to salute Shen Nan, then hugged the little prince, and told the palace servants to take good care of him with gentle eyes.The palace servants responded blankly, and hearing his tone, they shed tears inexplicably.
Shen Xi arranged everything and wrote a secret letter to the five assistant ministers.People who didn't know about it complained slightly, saying that the emperor shouldn't leave Beijing because of such trivial matters.However, the few ministers who knew about it knelt at the gate of the imperial city and respectfully sent the emperor away.
Riding on the horse, Shen Xi had an illusion, he felt as if he had returned to many years ago, when he rode out from Shen's mansion, and took two more steps, a little girl would run in front of him, blocking his way with outstretched arms, He smiled and said that he would go with him.
After thinking about it, a person really appeared in front of him.
Lie Lie was dressed in red, with frosty eyes, and Ning Weiyu led someone to block his way, with the three-inch green blade shining brightly in his hand.
He smiled, looked at her face, and stretched out his hand involuntarily.
He said, "Yu'er, I'm back."
Ning Weiyu obviously didn't accept his favor, so she rushed over and stabbed him in the heart.
He rolled off the horse, watched his blood flow into the snow, and looked at her with a smile: "Yu'er, why did you come to kill me?"
If she doesn't come, he will go too. It's so cold and it's not easy for horses to travel. How can she, who hates horse riding the most, ride so far?What's more, he has not yet shaken off the large group of guards behind him.She came, but she couldn't live.
"Why?" Ning Weiyu raised her head and laughed, squatting down, the corner of her red clothes on his blood-stained armor: "The last thing I want to do in this life is to send you to hell."
"And then?" He pursed his lips, coughed up a big mouthful of blood, and looked at her lingeringly: "Do you want to be buried for me?"
Ning Weiyu smiled lightly, turned her hand to squeeze out a pill, her eyelids were half closed, and said coldly: "I don't want to sleep with you in my life, and I don't even want to die with you. You owe me this sword, but I In this life, you won't be clear even after death, even if it's the road to the underworld, you don't have the right to accompany me!"
With a sudden shock, he looked up at her in disbelief.
"You think I'm here to look for you?" She looked at him and smiled cruelly: "How is it possible, I just can't die anyway, so the person who came to look for you gave me a ride. And you, live well Come on, live in guilt for my eternity, and don't appear in front of me again."
After finishing speaking, he firmly stuffed the box containing the elixir into his arms.
Shen Xi looked at her face dumbly, feeling that he was going to pass out, and stretched out his hand to her unwillingly: "Yu'er, I'm a little cold, can you... hug me?"
Ning Weiyu sneered, stood still, and was pinned down in the snow by his guards who chased after him.
"Don't..." Trying to hold his eyelids, he shouted hoarsely, "Don't hurt her..."
Before he finished shouting, there was darkness between the sky and the earth.
He doesn't want to wake up, even if eternal life is darkness, he doesn't want to open his eyes and be left alone.
……
Ning Chiyu opened his eyes and sat up blankly.
The surroundings were dark, she seemed to be in a tomb, and two lights were faintly on.
Touching his red and swollen eyes, before Ning Chiyu came back to his senses, he heard someone beside him say: "Since you want to remember, why don't you see what he has experienced, otherwise, with his temperament, he won't follow him." You explained."
"Who?" Chi Yu frowned.
Nanny Zheng held up the lamp and looked at her with complicated eyes.
"Nurse?" A light flashed in his mind, and countless pictures flew over, and Chi Yu hugged his head and groaned.
"I'm sorry." Madam Zheng reached out and touched her hair, her eyes were a little red: "There are thousands of mistakes, and it's all Nanny's fault."
Why do you say that?Chi Yu didn't have the energy to ask, she thought of many things, the bright red flowers blooming in the snow, the fire in the Pearl Pavilion of the Prince of Mercy's Mansion, Shen Xi who was wearing armor with serious eyes, and the red dress Shen Guyuan with white hair and desolate eyes.
Her heart was so stuffy that she wanted to cry.
"Nurse..." With a hoarse voice, Chi Yu looked up at her, choked up and asked, "Why do you want me to remember?"
Mother Zheng bowed her head: "Before, the master was afraid that you would think of it, and that you would never forgive him after you remembered it. But now, you don't have any place for him in your heart, and you don't intend to have anything to do with him. What's the difference between not remembering and not remembering?"
Her throat hurt badly, Chi Yu looked at her blankly, and shook her head after a long while: "You are partial to Shen Xi."
If it wasn't for favoritism, how could she let her lie in this great ancestor's coffin and remember what Shen Xi had experienced. If only her memories were returned to her, her heart would definitely not be as painful as it is now!
It really hurts, she is the one who hurts like being stabbed through the heart in the snow.
Mother Zheng sighed: "You don't believe me if I say I'm not partial. I really feel sorry for that child. If you can't remember it, he will never get out of this memory, suffering for decades or hundreds of years. Even thousands of years. He will not die, he has an infinite lifespan, and at the same time, there will be endless pain, are you really willing?"
"Why am I reluctant?" Chi Yu pursed his lips: "It was he who hurt me without telling me, and he is the one who promised me to Shen Zhibai without saying anything in this life. What does his pain have to do with me?"
After all, dig out the coffin and go out.
"Miss Chiyu!" Madam Zheng shouted, she pretended not to hear, and left the imperial mausoleum straight away.
Shen Zhibai felt that Ning Chiyu went to climb the mountain, and he seemed to be a little different when he came back. Although he was still gentle and considerate to him, there seemed to be a lot more in those eyes.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked with concern.
When he came back to his senses, Ning Chiyu shook his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing serious, what did you just say?"
Shen Zhibai pursed his lips, hesitated for a while before saying: "I said just now, since you and I live together with peace of mind, why not... consummate the house tonight."
After a slight pause, Chi Yu looked away, pinched his sleeves and nodded stiffly: "Okay."
Shen Zhibai turned her face back and asked seriously: "What happened?"
"No." Chi Yu blinked: "Do I look like someone who has something to do?"
With a low laugh, Shen Zhibai shook his head: "You've never been able to hide it from me."
Years ago, she could not hide the truth from him by pretending to let go of Shen Xi, and now, many years later, she still cannot hide it from him by pretending to be happy.
Chi Yu froze, looking at the expression of the person in front of him, he remembered what Bai Ruo once said to Ning Weiyu standing in the yard.
He said: "Just do what you want to do, come back when you are tired, and I will wait for you here."
