Chapter 24 The precursor of the clouds and the wind (2) (recommend additional updates)

High in the moon sky.

In Shulan Palace.

"Mommy, is father here?"

The Seventh Princess was reprimanded, and Concubine Shu was angered by Emperor Yu because she begged for mercy. She was not summoned to accompany her at tonight's banquet.

Concubine Shu, Zhao Shuxuan, daughter of Duke Zhao and aunt Zhao Lianxin of the Zhao family.

Wearing a bright blue palace attire, she has an elegant face and a good appearance. She is very favored by Emperor Yu, and her status is almost equal to that of Queen Yao in the middle palace.

If it weren't for the seventh princess, she would have been a high-ranking concubine accompanying Emperor Yu tonight.

Instead of being so restless at this moment, walking back and forth in the temple.

"Mother, please take a rest first. Don't worry. I have sent our people to invite the Duke. He should be here soon."

Aunt Liu supported Concubine Shu. Seeing her like this, she comforted her with a loud voice.

Concubine Shu stopped, but the anxiety on her face did not disappear at all.

"How can I not be anxious? Ling'er has been reprimanded, and I have been so neglected by the emperor. I am not included in such an important banquet tonight. Now the queen may be proud of laughing at me..."

"You still know."

With a cry of anger, a man walked in, his steps were calm, and he was wearing a dark purple official robe.

Zhao Guogong.

"Father…"

Concubine Shu said, her anxiety turning into uneasiness and uneasiness.

Aunt Liu quickly saluted.

Zhao Guozheng ignored her and walked directly to Concubine Shu.

"madness."

Sit on the chair.

Aunt Liu lowered her head and bowed. After preparing a cup of tea, she left the palace with her confidants and closed the door.

Concubine Shu raised her skirt and knelt down, "Father, please save Ling'er! If you don't care about Ling'er, Ling'er will really be hopeless."

Zhao Guogong didn't say anything more, he just looked at Concubine Shu like this.

The entire hall was so quiet that only the sound of candles burning could be heard.

It took a while before I took a sip of tea.

"The Su family is a vulgar family. I look down on that old man Su Hong, but it is undeniable that the emperor thinks highly of him. The daughter of the Su family is more valued by the emperor than your daughter.

Over the years, the two of them had been having small fights, which were harmless. But look at what she has done now. She stormed into the palace of the general and became arrogant and domineering. For a man, she beat the old man Su Hong's most precious granddaughter to half to death.

.

I have been an official for half a year, so I have to be cautious. When I go against the Su family in the court, it is also for political reasons. We have different political opinions. I don't have the ability to go straight to the Su family like that. Who gave her the ability? It's all because of your pampering. You

I got used to it."

Zhao Guogong spoke, but the deep anger on his face had not diminished even a little. He stroked his beard with his hand, and his eyes fell on Concubine Shu.

"The emperor said that he would take concubines to all the princes, and he deliberately mentioned the daughters of the Su family. What does this mean? That old man Su Hong is very cunning. Neither of his two daughters has ever married into the royal family. Why?

Because he knew in his heart that the daughter of the Su family could never marry into the royal family at that time. No matter which prince he was, he would be feared by King Yun. But it was different now. The new emperor had just ascended the throne and needed to win over the courtiers, especially those with heavy troops.

Su family.

The granddaughter of the Su family must be the first choice for the emperor to accept concubines for all the princes. Don’t they all know about it, the prince, the sixth prince, the seventh prince and the eighth prince? Why did your adopted son take the initiative first?

He took action on his own and used Luo Ling as a chess piece. He was born in someone else's belly. If you think it is true, he will become your support. His biological mother is humble, just a slave, but the blood flowing in his body is also his biological mother's blood.

Not your blood.

For the sake of status and favor, your biological son took the initiative to let him go to Da Qin as a hostage on behalf of the emperor. You won the emperor's favor, but what about my biological grandson! He did not come back to Yunlang alive. He died in Da Qin.

That winter night..."

"Father…"

Concubine Shu suddenly screamed and fell to the ground unable to hold herself back.

"Stop talking, stop talking, isn't my daughter heartbroken? That's my daughter's biological son! That's a piece of meat that fell off my daughter's body! My daughter doesn't want it, and my daughter doesn't want it either. If possible, my daughter is willing to use it.

I exchanged my life for my Haoer to come back safely. My daughter regrets it..."

Tears fell from my eyes and my heart dropped.

Yun Muhao, the second son of Emperor Yu, was also the eldest son of Emperor Yu at that time.

The eldest son born to Queen Yao died before he was one year old.

When Emperor Xuanye of the Qin Dynasty ordered the princely states to send their descendants to the Qin Dynasty as hostages, Yun Muhao went there in place of his father. On that winter night in the Qin Dynasty nine years ago, he was also an innocent victim of the war.

Died in that war.

When Emperor Yu found him, he was completely unrecognizable and covered in blood. He was only recognized by the young master's jade plaque left on his body.

At that time, only Yun Muhao, the hostage from the three major vassal kingdoms who went to Da Qin, died. However, the eldest son of the third son of King Danliang at that time who went to the Danliang vassal kingdom was the current Crown Prince Rong Feng. He also went to Da Qin in place of his father.

for quality.

"What's the use of regretting now."

Seeing Concubine Shu like this, Duke Zhao's anger finally subsided and he sighed.

"What you have to do now is not to regret, but how to make the emperor change his mind about you, how to make the emperor calm down. The emperor is in his prime, and you still have a chance. Even if you have another son now, it will not be too late. Others are pregnant

What comes out is not your own flesh and blood after all.”

He stood up, bent down, and pulled Concubine Shu up.

"As for Luo Ling, whether you demote the county head or not, you should take good care of her temperament. When you have the opportunity in the future, you can find a way to restore her status. During these days, you should think of ways to win back the emperor's heart. Don't let the Yao family occupy it when the time comes.

Without the limelight, my Zhao family will have no place in the court, and Yao Fuyue has been waiting for this day!"

"Daughter...I understand."

Covering the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and wiping away tears, Concubine Shu nodded.

"Okay, it's been a long time since I became a father. Think about it yourself."

He left under the pretext of Chu Gong. If he didn't go back, the emperor would be suspicious.

Duke Guo of Zhao left.

Concubine Shu stood unsteadily and held on to the armrest of the seat, tears falling again.

"Hao'er, it's the concubine who's sorry for you, it's the concubine who's sorry for you."

"Empress..."

Aunt Liu hurriedly ran in and saw Concubine Shu sitting down on the chair and taking out the little golden lock that never left her body, with a sad look on her face.

She walked over in two hurried steps.

Alas! The Duke mentioned the second prince to his wife again.

Revealed the scars of the empress.

…

One night banquet, one night after another.

The morning sun rises from the horizon and shines into the moonlit bamboo building, reflecting a brilliant golden light that shines inside through the window lattice.

The person on the couch closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his hands were placed neatly on his abdomen, and his dark hair was spread out between the moonlit bamboo pillows.

As he slept so peacefully, the feeling of alienation around him seemed to be lessened. He felt closer and could grasp it, and it was no longer as elusive and unattainable as when he was awake.

You can only look at it and pay attention.

Yun Ling was guarding outside. When Yun Feng came, he immediately hissed. Yun Feng suddenly softened his already light footsteps, but the person inside was still awake and his eyes were covered. I don't know if he opened his eyes.

eyes, but the feeling of closeness around him was gone.

"What's the matter?"

When I first woke up, my voice was slightly hoarse, my head full of waterfall-like black hair fell down in front of me, my fair and delicate skin, perhaps because my skin color was already very white, still looked a little pale at the moment, after so many days, He seemed to have not recovered yet and was still very weak.

"Prince."

Yun Ling and Yun Feng walked in, and Yun Ling handed the handkerchief to Prince Jiyue.

Prince Jiyue stayed at the hotel, took the handkerchief, cleaned his face, and washed himself.

He did all this on his own, without the help of his subordinates.

It was as if his blindness had not had any impact on his life.

Yunfeng said: "Your Majesty, Duke Zhao went to Shulan Palace secretly last night and stayed for about a moment. I estimate that it is probably related to Miss Su. I need you to give Miss Su a heads up."

"No need."

The voice has regained its coolness and the rhythm of a flowing stream, but it still carries the same hazy and foggy color as before.

After Prince Jiyue washed up, he walked to the study and pavilion. He was not surprised at all by what Yunfeng said. It was normal.

Just those two words, no more words were said.

It was difficult for Yun Ling to say more:

"Yunfeng, Zhao Guogong should not have any grudge against the Su family because of that matter. The Zhao family and the Su family are targeting each other in the court. It's because they have different factions. Civil servants and military generals, the biggest threat to the Zhao family is not the Su family, but the Yao family. Family, Zhao Guogong should not really go against the Su family for the sake of a seventh princess."

Yunfeng nodded, he understood.

It's just that he thought that the prince paid so much attention to Miss Su that he might take more care of her.

The folding fan is always in hand.

Both the Zhao family and the Yao family belong to the civil service. Although the Zhao family holds the title of Duke, the Yao family also holds the position of prime minister. The daughters of the two families are also royal concubines, concubines and queens. The conflict can be imagined.

The harem and the former dynasty have always been inseparable.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Today, Prince Rong Feng will come to the mansion to visit the old prince and the old princess. The old prince asked his subordinates to inform you."

Prince Jiyue seemed to have never heard these words and did not stop walking.

Yun Ling and Yun Feng took it for granted and walked to the study door to wait.

Quiet.
