Chapter 102 (4)
Chapter 78 Chapter 72 (4)
The two imperial brothers were grounded, and I became the only prince in the palace, and I didn't get the attention I imagined.Prince Pingxi's son has not entered the palace since Long'an ten years ago, but his father never forgot that every year the generous rewards are transported from Yundu to Southwest County without interruption.

That year, I was thinking about how to mention my marriage with Li Er to my father. An imperial decree disrupted all my plans like a bolt from the blue, and Li Er cried and refused to marry. The person I met in the palace was Xie Yanmo, would she not marry?Then what am I?
I don't want to lose Li Er.

Over the years, I have cultivated some forces secretly. Several of the guards around Ji Quwen were inserted by me through Li Er'an. He went to the southwest to meet Xie Yanmo, so I transferred a group of martial arts experts to work with those guards. They went to the southwest together, and the assassination target was Princess Pingxi.I will never let go of killing two birds with one stone.

If this happens, Princess Pingxi is not here, and my father has nothing to worry about, so I will no longer use Xie Yanmo to commemorate the old relationship. Xie Yanmo has been filial for three years, and the wedding will definitely be postponed. Three years is enough for me to change many things.If this matter fails, there will be Ji's family among the bodyguards, and Ji Xie's family will definitely turn against each other, and the marriage will be hindered.

The result was a bit unexpected, but it was more to my liking. The person who died was King Pingxi. Xie Yanmo asked for his divorce, and Princess Pingxi also died of illness three months later.Father is seriously ill.Uncle Huang told me that when my father chose Princess Pingxi over Princess Pingxi, he couldn't let go of her afterwards.I sneered, the so-called love, just didn't get it, so it became extraordinarily beautiful.But when I learned about my father's condition, it seems that my understanding was wrong.

My father made me the crown prince, and my plan finally succeeded in the first step.

I thought that my father would make this decision because he broke his love for Princess Pingxi and finally turned his eyes away from Prince Pingxi's son. Brother is doing well.Before my father died, I was left alone by the couch, his old face was full of vicissitudes, and he smiled at me as if there was nothing.

He gasped weakly, and whispered in my ear: "You are cruel enough, this position of widow should be taken by someone like you."

At that time, I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cave. I was numb and didn’t feel anything. I just wanted to laugh and laughed out loud. This is my so-called father. Sure enough, in the royal family, there is no family affection at all.

As for the assassination of King Pingxi, it is a fact that there were guards from the Ji family among the assassins. It is a fact that Ji Quwen went to Southwest County to lure Xie Yanmo away. It is not that the Ji family can evade it if they say no. If this matter is investigated, the Ji family will not be able to escape responsibility .I used this to blackmail Ji Ning and asked him to help me. He looked at me and smiled inscrutablely, saying that I had the ability to set up such a plan, and he was willing to support me as emperor.

I married Li Er seemingly without any obstacles.Ascend to the throne, everything I ever wanted seems to be in my hands.

However, the forces in the court turned to the Ji family, I sat on the throne empty-handed, and the decision-making power in all matters was in Ji Ning's hands. I was just a puppet, and the only capital of this puppet was Li Er.

The former lie has become my biggest weakness. I can't imagine what I will face when the lie is exposed. Without Li'er, without Ji's family, without the throne, all these years of hard work have been in vain.

I know that Li'er is dealing with Ji Ning and me, and I also know that Ji Ning will not delegate power easily. I can't find a balance between me and Ji's family.

I hate this sense of powerlessness, this sense of uneasiness that may be lost at any time, looking at Li Er, I just feel that she is getting farther and farther away from me.No longer young and carefree, there is an entire Ji family between me and her, and there is a Xie Yanmo she doesn't know.

Ever since King Pingxi's accident happened, Xie Yanmo has left for the Southwest and has never heard from him. But I am afraid that he will suddenly appear one day and take away everything from me.

Xie Qianlian suddenly found out that what happened back then was related to Ji's family, and insisted that it was Ji Quwen's doing, and asked me to hand over the murderer for justice.There is only one son in the Ji family, and it is more difficult to kill him than to kill Ji Ning, but if you don't kill him, Xie Qianlian will not accept it, and there will be civil strife, which will do me harm but not benefit.

If Xie Qianlian loses, the Ji family will make great contributions and accept the power of the Xie family, and I will never recover; if Xie Qianlian wins, my throne should also be surrendered.

It is impossible to force Xie Qianlian to rebel, and it is impossible to hand over Ji Quwen. In fact, I thought of a better way to uproot the Ji family with the help of King Pingxi.But what about Li'er?Her temperament is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she has become more tenacious over the years. Without Ji's family, we can never go back to the past with her.

The human heart is very scary, in order to get what I want, I keep persuading myself to give up what I have already got. I don't want to hurt Li Er, but there is another voice sneering in my head, you are just in the name of Xie Yanmo, you think, she really love you?

The red dress on Li'er's body became more and more dazzling, and every time she saw it, that sentence resounded in her mind.Over the past few years, worrying about gains and losses, desire for power, and Xie Qianlian's pressing every step of the way, I finally made up my mind and decided to get rid of Ji's family.I said to myself, it’s just a woman, who won the world, what kind of woman is not good?
Accepting Gu Yanlin as a concubine, she began to win over the Gu family, and also began to force herself to forget Li'er, with the warmth and fragrance in her arms every day, I advised myself, all women in this world are the same, why should I stick to that one?I still don't know if I love you or not!
I haven't seen her for three months, and my agitated heart has been arranging to get rid of Ji's family non-stop. Everything that disturbed me and frightened me disappeared!Only in this way can I be a truly powerful emperor without weaknesses!

Xie Qianlian tried his best to stop the news of the extermination of the nine clans of Ji's family, so as to prevent the border from changing and restrain the generals.Yin Qi poisoned, Gu Weiquan led the army to arrest, Zheng Ying comforted the civil servants, everything was in order, the three forces were twisted together, it was difficult for the Ji family not to fall.

When my father and Ji Ning fought in the country, the Ji family was an aristocratic family with a big tree with deep roots and luxuriant branches. If you want to get rid of it, you must get rid of it completely, and don't give it a chance to stand up. I ordered the nine clans to be punished and Ji While digging the family thoroughly, they used such a ruthless method to deter the old Ji family who tried to fight back.

Li'er finally got the news that Eunuch Hao said she was looking for me everywhere.

I left the palace and wandered around without any destination for a few days. I knew that if she cried in front of me, I would forget everything and obey her in everything.So I ran away.

Before leaving the palace, I asked Yin Qi to prepare abortion pills.Gu Weiquan made indirect remarks several times, saying that his daughter was in a disadvantaged position, but he did not dare to say so.I laughed it off, I don't even want Li'er, why do I need that child?I don't mind being a favor once, as long as Gu Weiquan's loyalty can be maintained for a few more years, don't be eaten by greed.

After returning to the palace, I only saw a piece of ruins. I didn't know what expression I had, but I knew that I should laugh. Everything developed as I expected. Damn it, I didn't deserve it. All my worries and fears were finally gone. I'm one step closer to the top.How long later—I don’t remember—I realized that I was one step closer to being alone.

Li'er died, Eunuch Hao died, and Grandpa Feng turned against me.

My heart, which already had no warmth, was getting colder and colder, and it was frozen layer by layer. I stayed in the Qinzheng Hall all day, facing the full memorial, carefully placing the chess pieces, and casting the big net silently.It is much easier to deal with Zheng Ying and Gu Weiquan than the Ji family.

I finally have no doubts hanging in my heart, no fears that worry me every day, and no deep-rooted concerns.

It's just that I often recall the last time I saw Li'er, she was five months pregnant, she leaned gently in my arms, and said with a smile, marry Gu Yanlin.The long hair covered the expression on her face, I couldn't see it, I just felt her shoulders trembling slightly, I didn't say anything to comfort, I just sat quietly, I knew this might be the last time we met, my hands couldn't help but clenched into fists , The body can't help shaking.Li'er wrapped her arms around my waist and comforted me, saying that it doesn't matter if she marries another woman, she believes in me and believes that I love her.

how about you?do you love me?I didn't ask this sentence. Li'er said that she hated people who lied to her the most. I never planned to tell her the truth of the matter. I would never believe someone who lied to me once. How could I expect Li'er to forgive me.

So keep the secret and let it fall into the dust.Even if it's hate, Li'er will remember me.

In the blink of an eye in six years, a lot of things have actually happened, but for me, it doesn't make much sense.

Grandpa Feng came to me angrily and said that Li Er's ashes would be placed in the cold palace. She didn't want to see me again, and I didn't have the face to see her again.I looked at Grandpa Feng's slightly dodgy eyes, and felt that he had something to hide from me.At that moment, a ridiculous hope suddenly popped up in my heart. I haven't seen Li'er's body. Eunuch Hao died in the sea of ​​fire for no reason. Grandpa Feng's medical skills are superb. Why should the ashes be put in the cold palace instead of other places?
I secretly said to myself, Li'er is still alive, I will go pick her up when I consolidate my power and thousands of people worship her.

On the one hand, I hoped that Li'er was still alive, on the other hand, I clearly realized that it was impossible.I never dared to take a step into the cold palace, for fear that my ridiculous idea would be denied.Occasionally drinking to Yue, I would laugh at myself. I said I didn’t care, and I was determined to kill her. I wanted to cut off my last love. Why did I only think that she might still be alive, and that there was a chance to pick her up? Do I have the idea of ​​continuing to live?

I don’t remember the time I got drunk, I dreamed that I mustered up the courage to go to the cold palace, and seeing her in the red dress, the longing that had been accumulated in my heart and suppressed in my head for many years suddenly burst out, and the words I never dared to say roared out in my dream Sound, I tore up her red dress, said I hated this red body the most, every time I saw it, my heart ached, I kissed her hard, and asked her if she loved me or not.

Waking up from Yimeng, I saw Yao Er lying next to me, and the disgust I had never felt before rose immediately in my heart.I don't mind multiple women, but Li'er treats her like a sister, the so-called love in this world is really hypocritical.

I didn't kill her back then, only because of that ridiculous idea.I gave her the status and let her slowly climb to the concubine position. I know that she will help me deal with Gu Yanlin.It has always been my favorite thing to enjoy the benefits of being a fisherman.

In the ninth year of Wan'an, the big net I cast will be closed in this year. At that time, the power will be in my hands. I will no longer have to be restrained by anyone. I will become the real master. No pretense needed.

This year, an interesting person appeared in the palace. She wrote a handwriting that was very similar to Li'er. Most importantly, a mere doctor boy dared to poison me.Do you really want me to die, or take advantage of detoxification to climb up?For a long time no one could raise my interest, I had the antidote elixir in my hand, so I let her poison it.

In fact, there is another reason, since she started poisoning, I can often see Li Er, before, even in a dream, she would not want to see me.But in those few days, she was alive in front of me, she was seven years old, she was eight years old...she was 15 years old...

I seem to go back in time and walked with her for another 11 years. I remember the last time I hugged her, she hugged me with both hands, and a tear in her eye slipped down my neck. After waking up, looking at the tranquility of the Longxuan Palace, I just felt lonely like dead ashes. I lay down and wanted to see her again, but I couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

That medical boy's name is Li Zihe, I sent someone to check her identity, only to find out that she is a beggar, who worshiped Shen Mo as his teacher three years ago.

Speaking of Shen Mo, I started to pay attention to this person a long time ago. He has excellent medical skills. It is said that even Grandpa Feng once invited him in person, wanted to drag him into the imperial hospital, and even promised to give him the post of hospital history, but he was rejected by him. He refused.At that time, I checked that there were many unknown flowers and plants on Yunlian Mountain, and people reported that they were all from the southwest. I suspected that he was Xie Yanmo, but he didn't offend me, and I didn't have the energy to deal with him for the time being.What's more, Li'er was still there at that time, so they shouldn't have any interaction.

Li Zihe was dealing with Yao Er and Gu Yanlin. I wanted to get rid of Gu Yanlin, but she saw through her and framed her according to my wishes. I ignored the background, and when I was alone with her, there was always a strange feeling rising in my heart, but I suppressed it.

I sent someone to check on her playmate when she was a beggar, but that person was actually in the prime minister's residence, and he was still named as a prisoner.

Mu Pianwu looks very clean, and his eyes are also very clean, but I am too lazy to count how many masks there are in the world, so I bluntly said to avenge him, as long as he told me everything he knew about Li Zihe.

Unexpectedly, he said that Li Zihe was from Ji's family, had been to the Prime Minister's Mansion to cooperate with Zheng Ying, and that Li Zihe was a woman.

Zheng Ying, this trash, if it wasn't too useless, I wouldn't keep him until now.His son robbed the beautiful woman, and I took advantage of the situation to pull out everyone related to him in the palace. He dared not speak out.I didn't want to startle the enemy, so I didn't pursue it further, but he thought I was afraid of the power in his hands. In fact, the group of people under him were infiltrated by me when he was unconscious.

Li Zihe is from the Ji family, and she disguised herself as a man to get revenge. I really wanted to laugh, laughing that she was overconfident. Her biggest bargaining chip was her master. If Shen Mo was Xie Yanmo, this game would be much more fun.

I'm waiting to see what tricks they can come up with. Yin Ping is dead, and the spearhead is pointed at Zheng Ying. Zheng Ying turns back and looks back at Wei Quan. A sheep that falls prey to others.I summoned Yin Qi and threatened him to quell the matter, which was to discourage Li Zihe and Shen Mo.

One wave after another, the epidemic is so fierce that the Tai Hospital has nothing to do. This is a good time to test Shen Mo. With Li Zihe's burden on him, Shen Mo will definitely be handicapped when doing things.

I was thinking about how to force Shen Mo to show his flaws, but Gu Yanlin died suddenly at this moment.

The autopsy result was suicide, and I declared homicide to the outside world.The reporter said that Grandpa Feng had some changes recently, that the few Ji family loyalists who had disappeared were faintly showing signs of success, and Yao'er, since Gu Yanlin was thrown into the cold palace, has been extremely quiet.

I found Grandpa Feng and asked him directly what he wanted to do.

He didn't seem to have heard my question, but instead his eyes were red, and he asked me hoarsely: "When you... killed Li Er back then, did you mean...or did you mean it?"

I know that although Grandpa Feng is usually sneering and sarcastic, he still hopes that I have no choice but to explain to him from the bottom of his heart, so he tries his best to stimulate me and force me to express my inner thoughts, but I have always remained silent.

So did I this time.Grandpa Feng burst into tears again, saying that he misjudged the wrong person because of his old eyes, that Gu Yanlin was killed by him and had nothing to do with others.

When Gu Yanlin died, Yao'er was pointed at. I knew he was trying to excuse Yao'er, but I didn't expect him to commit suicide when he returned home.

Yao Er wanted to go to the Leng Palace wholeheartedly, but I refused to follow her wish and wanted to force her to reveal the secrets of the Leng Palace. The people I sent guarded the Leng Palace for several days and nights, but nothing was found.I started to panic, if it wasn't Li'er who was in the cold palace, would they go there once a month, really just to mourn?Even in fear, I still dare not go in person.
