No matter how beautiful the face is, it cannot withstand the tossing and delicate flowers should be protected and cherished.

He was haunted at night and was tortured by the imperial concubine during the day. The charming face of the Duke of Dingguo quickly turned withered.

She had struggled and resisted, but at this time she seemed to have been abandoned by the whole world. No one remembered her, and no one would help her.

In the past, her beautiful and noble and graceful face always reflected in the mirror, but now she is most afraid of looking in the mirror!

In the early morning, she looked at the cold water surface, and the slightly rippling water shone out her eyebrows and eyes... "Is this me?"

The wife of Dingguo Duke covered her mouth and couldn't believe it.

"Haha." The shrill and sad laughter from the imperial concubine came to his ears. It was rare that the imperial concubine did not go crazy again today. However, her words hit the heart of the Duke Dingguo's wife like a sharp sword. "Would you feel uncomfortable watching yourself grow old and withering day by day? In two days, you will be the same as me."

“…”

The Duke of Ding Guo disturbed a basin of clean water and washed his face with cold water. He used every stroke to wash it hard, as if this could wash away the vicissitudes and pains of his face.

The laughter of the imperial concubine became sharper and more desolate. The silver-white hair on her head was like silver threads, "It's useless. If you can't get out of here, it's useless."

"I am different from you. I have a son and a husband. The eldest son is the prince of Dingguo, the second son is the princess' husband, and the youngest son is the son of Dingguo's favorite son... They will definitely come to save me."

"You have been locked in for half a month, but I haven't seen them appear. Not only have you not seen your son, but you haven't seen your husband who is said to be devoted to you!"

The imperial concubine loudly mocked the wife of Dingguo: "So what about the prince? My son... is the prince and the dragon seed. The late emperor told me that he would leave the richest fiefdom in the world to them. But... but... now they are worried all day long and are raised by the emperor as a pigpen."

Although the sons born by Emperor Qianyuan were appointed as princes, they were the most shameless and status royal nobles in the capital.

How cruel is Emperor Qianyuan?

The two princes must go to the Ministry of Revenue to ask for their salary and silver every month. From the beginning of the month to the middle of the month, the silver issued is not enough to support their household income. Even if they are frugal.

At the same time, the Empress Dowager often rewarded the palace maids and other concubines to them, forcing them to spread their roots for the royal family.

Don't want to have a room?

The Empress Dowager will teach them a lesson.

With more and more children, their lives are getting harder and harder.

No one dares to speak for the two princes. Who doesn’t know that all this is what Emperor Qianyuan means?

The Imperial Concubine is also a person who loves her son. How could she not suffer when she heard that her son was already very talented and had a great land now?

Her situation in the palace also made her filial son worried.

They, mother and son, are like two grasshoppers on a rope, restraining each other, enduring all kinds of painful tortures for each other, and no one dares to give up their lives easily.

This is the greatest revenge that Emperor Qianyuan gave them. Only when people live can they continue to suffer.

"The prince cares about me. He cares about me!"

"All men in the world are unlucky. When they pamper you, they will naturally be willing to give you anything. They will praise you as a fairy. When they turn around, they will forget you." The imperial concubine turned slowly and looked at the palace where Empress Gao once lived. "I lost, I lost completely."

She once thought she could kill Empress Taizu Gao and assist her son with both talent and learning to ascend to the throne of the crown prince. She thought she could grasp the heart of Emperor Taizu Gao and take the emperor's favor.

Now it seems that everything is just her delusion, a sad and ridiculous dream.

The dream was broken, and she could only bear endless pain.

"Until the end, the late emperor only thought of her, yes, the empress who sacrificed his life to save the late emperor! As a woman, I don't believe it... I don't believe it, An Zhiruosu's empress has the late emperor in her heart, but I don't believe it! The late emperor... It's time for you to see the queen, do you understand? Is she in love with you?"

The imperial concubine looked at the tears stained on her rough fingers, "Can I still cry?"

Her tears had long been dried up.

The wife of Dingguo Duke curled up and said, "If you help me deliver a letter to the Duke, he must have been detained by the queen. As long as I can go out, I will definitely help you, Concubine, and my son..."

"Madam Duke, you should save money."

The palace maid who entered the door with a food box sneered, "The Prince of Dingguo was taught a lesson by the Empress Dowager and the Empress. Now he is thinking about his mistakes at home. The Second Master Gu has also been implicated. The Empress sees him closely, so how can they think of you? As for Dingguo... I'm afraid I'm going to marry Duke Rong. Even if I'm not busy getting married, Duke Dingguo can't remember you. I heard that the court has already quarreled for the matter that the court has taken on shoulders... This morning, the door of the palace was full of ministers who were kneeling for the death of their advice, begging Your Majesty to take back Cheng's orders. The adults dare not blame Your Majesty too much, and all the fingers were pointed at Duke Dingguo."

Not everyone has the courage to point at Emperor Qianyuan.

The introverted and silent Duke Ding was regarded as a treacherous by the ministers. If it weren't forcing Duke Ding, how could Emperor Qianyuan, who was wise and powerful, give such absurd order?

The imperial concubine smiled loudly, "Give up, have breakfast, go and fetch water and chop firewood. By the way, there is also grinding. If you can't finish what I said, you have to get the punishment."

There was clear water and steamed buns in front of him, and the wife of Dingguo Duke burst into tears. How could she eat such food?

The dry and rough steamed buns are hard to swallow even with water. They have to do heavy work every day. Her soft hands have already been cracked. No matter how hard she works, they still cannot meet the requirements of the imperial concubine. They are punished and beaten every time.

Mrs. Dingguo bit her lip, "I still have Aze...he..."

"Mr. Gu was arranged by His Majesty to go to Beiyuan to recuperate."

The palace maids were full of envy. Beiyuan is not something that ordinary people can enter, even princes... not everyone has the opportunity to recuperate in Beiyuan. "Your Majesty has given you the order that Gu is very popular and filial. You are not allowed to tell Lord Gu about your affairs with Duke Ding. Whoever dares to talk too much will be killed."

"Aze..."

"Now I think of him as your son? When you stab your son in the heart, why didn't you think he was the only one who could save you?"

The imperial concubine said mockingly: "I am now like a female ghost, but I am still living with humiliation. It is not that I am afraid of death, but that my son of the palace will die with me. I lost to Empress Gao and His Majesty. I still want to protect them and hope that they will be able to end their hardships. They... are the blood of my palace."

"Where are you? A bitch born in blessings and ignorant of blessings! You are not worthy of being a mother!"
