Mistress

Chapter 68

Xu Cheng asked Su Bai to sit down in the chair next to him, wanting to quietly listen to Su Bai tell his little-known story.

Where did Su Bai dare to sit, the Xu Cheng in front of him is the one who will be enthroned as emperor in the future.Su Bai made a bow to Xu Cheng, "I'm used to standing up, and I'll feel uncomfortable sitting down."

This was the first time he had the desire to confide in him. There were expressions on his face and emotions in his heart. It turned out that he was not a piece of thousand-year-old ice, nor was he a cold-blooded beast, but a resolute man with flesh and blood and emotions.

He stood aside, his eyes were embarrassed and bright, as if he could see his childhood, and the picture was still very clear.He said, "I was only five years old that year, and I went to the Imperial College to study every day. My father said that I was his eldest son, the grandson of the emperor, and when he succeeded to the throne, he would make me a prince. I also want to be an emperor in the future, so I must study hard so that I won’t become a foolish emperor in the future. I was young and didn’t understand this at all. One day I stayed up late, afraid that my father would punish me if he found out , I simply went to my father to admit my mistake first. Not only would my father not scold me, he would even praise me, because he would be very happy every time I confessed my mistake before. But that day, I went to his dormitory and did not find him. Seeing him, I went to the backyard to look for him. I thought that my father and I would usually hide in a fake cave when playing hide-and-seek. .I ran to the fake cave only to find..."

Su Bai choked up.

Xu Cheng was dumbfounded, the cup in his hand was still hanging, Su Bai was once the grandson of the emperor, so his surname is...Ye?

Su Bo went on to say: "Ye Zheng is the second prince and my uncle. He was only 19 years old at the time, and he had already won many battles. He seemed to like me very much and usually liked to hug me, but that time he saw me He strangled me, not only did he not hug me, but he stretched out his hand to pinch me. He strangled my father, but he still pinched me. I held my breath and just looked into his eyes. I fell into the pool next to me. When I woke up, I was already lying in the arms of the servant who served me. I lived in a ruined temple. He told me that the emperor had announced to the world that the prince and the wife My grandson died of a sudden illness. Since then, my servant and I have lived together. In order to deceive others, I called him Uncle Su and he called me Baier. Uncle Su supported me by selling cakes, and the money he saved It was used to ask a hidden hero in the mountains to teach me martial arts. Until I was 20 years old, Uncle Su was seriously ill. Before he died, he asked me if I knew why I wanted to learn martial arts. I said yes, that was revenge. Only then closed my eyes."

After Su Bo finished speaking, his eyes were already moist, but he blinked, and the sparkling tears disappeared.He suddenly bowed down to Xu Cheng, "I have concealed my identity for many years because of my difficulties, and I hope you will forgive me!"

In fact, Xu Cheng has always been an extremely cautious person, he will not use people with unknown backgrounds, except for Su Bai.Because when I saw him for the first time five years ago, he was so hungry that he almost died of hunger. This is enough to show that he is a kind person, otherwise he would have stolen, robbed or killed him directly. Take money.

At that time, Su Bai walked on foot for more than a month before he walked from Jindi to the capital. The money he had on him had already been spent, so he starved for five days, collapsed in the suburbs of Beijing, and was brought back by Xu Cheng.

For some reason, Xu Cheng had an inexplicable trust in him, so he always made him his bodyguard.

Thinking about it now, after Ye Zheng died under Su Bai's sword that day, if Su Bo wanted to become emperor, it would be a breeze.Because everyone knew that Su Bo was Xu Cheng's shadow, and what he said were Xu Cheng's orders, and it was too easy for him to dispatch troops.

Xu Cheng finally put down the cup in his hand. He was not only moved, but also admired. He had never admired one of his subordinates so much.

"Ye Bo, don't you want to be emperor?" Xu Cheng seemed to ask casually.

Su Bai smiled relievedly, "Your Excellency, I'd better call me Su Bo, I listen to you. Since I have taken the surname of Uncle Su, I will always respect him as my father. As early as 20 years ago, I severed ties with the Ye Dynasty. A clean break with the surname Ye. How can a bodyguard surnamed Su be the emperor?"

He actually laughed, it was even more strange than the sun rising from the west.

Xu Cheng's heart moved when he saw it. Such a good man was killed by Ye Zheng and fled. Ye Zheng was so cruel, perhaps he was destined to perish early.When Su Bai was five years old, Xu Cheng was just ten years old. He remembered that at that time the capital posted a news that the crown prince Ye Yan and his eldest son Ye Bo had died of illness, and the whole capital was in mourning. There was a whistle, and there was no other reaction after that, presumably his father should also know some of the details.

Xu Cheng now understands why Ye Zheng dotes on Prince Bao so much. Because he killed his brother, he felt guilty, so he put his repentance on Prince Bao, his younger brother, to make up for the part in his heart. disturbed.

Brothers killed each other for the throne, which made it difficult for Xu Cheng to recall for a long time.He looked at Su Bai in front of him, and then thought of his sons. Because of the difference between the concubine and the concubine, the sons rarely play together and have no brotherhood. When he is about to die of old age, he doesn't know what will happen. thing.

Xu Cheng let out a long sigh. Before he became emperor, he began to worry about the future relationship between his sons.

He rubbed his forehead, not letting himself think about it, and said to Su Bai: "Your revenge has been avenged, shouldn't it be time to start a family and start a business? If it weren't for Ye Zheng, maybe today's world has come to you here, and now you It's just a small bodyguard, I really can't bear it. Rong'er has been in love with you for a long time, you can marry her as a wife or take a concubine, at least you have a woman to serve you first, after a while I will seal you How about you as the General Protecting the Country?"

Su Bai bowed and said: "I hope that my lord will not mess up the rules and regulations just because I am a subordinate. I am a fifth-rank bodyguard. If I am promoted to be a general protecting the country, how will I obey the people? If the soldiers refuse to accept, there will be troubles. General Li and Jiang Ziheng Talents are worthy of the rank of the Great General of Protecting the Nation. If your lord wants to fulfill your mission, let me continue to be your bodyguard, and I am willing to protect your safety for the rest of your life."

Xu Cheng nodded his head, his eyes sparkled, it is a lifelong blessing to have such a person!

"If you don't want to start a career, you can't delay getting married, right?"

The corners of Su Bai's mouth curled up slightly, "I would like to listen to your lord's arrangement."

After saying this sentence, his face became as stern as before, and he said, "It's just... I want to take Rong'er to meet my biological mother."

Xu Cheng froze. He remembered that little Ye Bo's biological mother became Ye Zheng's side concubine after losing her husband and son.Now, she has been sent to Jingye Nunnery, and the dark guards are watching her.

"Why do you want to see her? Maybe she knew about your father's death in vain. Don't you hate her?"

"Hate! Hate to the bone!" Su Bai replied.

Xu Cheng didn't want him to be abused again, he would not kill his biological mother, if the mother and son met him, there would be nothing but heartache, so he said: "Then you don't see her anymore, she has become a subjugated queen, even if she spends the rest of her life in the nunnery Even if she eats fast and recites Buddha's name, her heart can't calm down, and she will definitely suffer day by day, which can be regarded as punishment."

"I hope my lord will be fulfilled. I want her to know that it was her son who killed her emperor with his own hands. It was her son who avenged her ex-husband! What crimes a person has committed in this life should be clearly understood. "Su Bai has been waiting for this day for a long time, he must go.

"Then why did you take Rong'er there? Could it be...?" Xu Cheng guessed, he didn't want Rong'er to see the fate of a woman who betrayed her husband?

Although Xu Cheng didn't say it out loud, Su Bai knew that Xu Cheng had already guessed, "Yes, if Rong'er is willing to marry me after seeing her birth mother, I will marry her, treat her well, and will last a lifetime." For the rest of my life, there is only one woman like her. If she doesn't want to marry, my lord can match her with another man."

For the rest of my life, as long as she is such a woman.It sounded very simple from Su Bai's mouth, but Xu Cheng was shocked when he heard it. If he had only one wife and no concubines from the beginning to the end, so many things would not have happened in the back house.Zhang Yuliu may be able to marry another royal family, Aunt Ji must be Ye Zheng's favorite concubine, and Aunt Song may marry a man with a poorer family background, but she can be the main wife and mistress.

He never really loved them because he was always wary of them, but just like that, he ruined their life's happiness.

As for Mrs., didn't she always leave her alone before? If it wasn't for Li Xiangrui's loyalty to him, maybe he wouldn't fall in love with her even now.Now that the husband and wife are as affectionate as honey, he should keep this relationship going.

But... as long as she is such a woman in his whole life, it is probably unprecedented for an emperor. Even if he really only loves one woman, there will be other women in the harem as concubines.He knows that he is not a saint, and it is really difficult to do this.

He was lost in thought.

The next day, a car and a group of people set off from the prime minister's mansion and headed for the palace in a mighty way. Both sides of the road were full of imperial soldiers in brand-new clothes, all of them looked majestic and majestic.

Li Yan was driving in a luxurious Fengluan, wearing exquisite costumes, she did not open the curtains to look out, even though the people outside finally came out and cheered, she really wanted to take a look outside at the lively scene.But being the mother of a country, how dignified her appearance is, not everyone can see it casually, this is the original words of Cui Madam.

Mother Cui also asked her to wear a phoenix robe, but Li Yan insisted not to wear it for no other reason. She thought it was better to wait until Xu Cheng ascended the throne tomorrow, because the last thing the emperor did when he ascended the throne was to send officials to appoint a queen.The canonization official presented the queen's golden seal and book, and she was wearing a phoenix robe to receive it with both hands, so it seemed like that.

It's just a piece of clothing, why rush to wear it.
