Gao Xiuer's medical skills were already quite good. When she saw Xiao Bin, she seemed to feel comfortable. She stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Bin's wrist, and gently felt her pulse. A look of hesitation suddenly appeared on her face. After a while, she said: "She has it."
Pregnant."
Xiao Concubine is Yang Guang's woman. Not to mention that Yang Guang has been dead for more than a year, Xiao Concubine is now pregnant. Needless to say, this has a lot to do with Li Yuan's frequent visits to the palace some time ago.
Hearing the news, Xiao Concubine's face turned ashen, she trembled all over, and kowtowed: "I deserve death for my crime. It is not a pity for me to die. I only ask the Holy One to promise me one thing."
In fact, Liu Ziqiu had no intention of punishing Xiao Bi. Xiao Bi was Yang Guang’s woman, not his. What did Xiao Bi do to Yang Guang by giving him the green thumb? Moreover, Liu Ziqiu came from a later generation, and his thoughts were much worse than those of this era.
People are much more open-minded. When Li Yuan occupied Luoyang, Yang Guang was already dead. Even if Xiao Concubine got married, she had nothing to say.
But Liu Ziqiu still nodded and said: "Just tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best."
Xiao Concubine choked up and sobbed: "I am originally from the south of the Yangtze River, and my family has been wiped out, leaving only one cousin, Xiao Dapeng, who was imprisoned by Li Yuan. I am willing to die to apologize, and I only hope that the Holy One can understand Dapeng.
The last bit of blood from the Xiao family saved him. I am a knowledgeable person underground, and I am grateful for the great kindness of the Holy One."
Liu Ziqiu was silent for a while, then suddenly sighed: "Xiao Dapeng is not in Li Yuan's hands, he is in my prison."
Xiao Bi exclaimed, "Ah!" and said, "What crime did Dapeng commit? Please forgive him!"
Gao Xiuer pulled Xiao Bin up from the ground and asked, "Who are you, Xiao Xin?"
"It's my concubine's second uncle." Xiao Pin suddenly woke up, grabbed Gao Xiu'er's hand tightly, and said, "Does your Majesty know my concubine's second uncle? Then please save Dapeng's life no matter what!"
Gao Xiuer nodded, looked at Liu Ziqiu, and said, "Your Majesty, look at this..."
Liu Ziqiu laughed: "Xiu'er, you'd better call me husband."
Gao Xiuer knew that Liu Ziqiu was not being polite, so she changed her title and said, "Husband, you promised your second uncle to take good care of Xiao Dapeng. I think it's better to spare his life."
When she was living in Changshan Village, apart from the big cow girl, her second uncle Xiao Xin was the best to her. For Xiao Xin's sake, she really didn't want Xiao Dapeng to be sentenced to death by Liu Ziqiu. Of course, these two people showed their affection, but
He envied all the women in the palace.
Liu Ziqiu pondered for a moment and said: "Forget it, I will interrogate Xiao Dapeng in a while. If he is indeed repentant, I will pardon him. Xiao Bi, if you are willing, you can also listen from behind."
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Xiao Concubine will fight for it. She nodded repeatedly and said: "I am willing, I am willing."
Although it was getting late, Liu Ziqiu could understand Xiao Bin's urgent mood and stood up and said: "You wait here, I will make arrangements now."
Gao Xiuer tugged at the corner of Liu Ziqiu's clothes, cooed, and said, "Then what should they do?"
Liu Ziqiu said without hesitation: "As long as they are willing, let them choose a good man to marry."
Gao Xiuer was shocked and kept saying: "But their identities..."
"What's wrong with their identities?" Liu Ziqiu laughed, "Yang Guang is already dead, and they are still young. Do we want them to remain widowed for the rest of their lives and grow old alone?"
The emperor's women were not allowed to remarry. After the emperor died, unless they gave birth to an heir, they would either be buried with him or become a monk, and their ending would be very miserable. But this has been a rule for thousands of years, and no one has ever thought of changing it.
There are also stories like Wu Zetian in history, but they were inevitably reviled behind their backs. However, when many emperors died, their women were still very young. This system is very dehumanizing. Therefore, Liu Ziqiu plans to gradually change this situation.
Let’s start with Yang Guang’s women.
Gao Xiuer understood what Liu Ziqiu meant, nodded slightly, and started arranging the remarriage of Chen Chou and others. Unexpectedly, this matter took a lot of trouble. Because although Liu Ziqiu was willing to marry off these women from Yang Guang,
After all, these women have status, and they cannot be counted as prisoners of war between the two countries. Therefore, although Chen Chou and others are willing to marry, no one dares to marry. This is a story for later, let’s not mention it for now.
…
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Xiao Dapeng also suffered a lot in Changshan Village when he was young. He was not the kind of delicate and noble son. It was only after Gao Xiuer asked him to take charge of Changshan Carriage and Horse Racing Company.
, he gradually lost himself and began to live a life of arrogance and luxury. Now he has been locked up in the prison for dozens of days. Although he has no worries about food and drink, it has become the most difficult days. The night is deep, and he is still lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to
Fall asleep.
Suddenly I heard the jailer shouting outside the door: "Xiao Dapeng, come quickly."
Xiao Dapeng lived in a single cell, and it was the one with the best conditions. Outside the iron window on the east side was the patio, where he could hear the chirping of birds and even enjoy the first ray of sunshine in the morning. The furnishings in the room were not what he wanted.
It's luxurious, but very clean, and a set of utensils are changed every four or five days. The three meals a day are both meat and vegetable, unlike other prisoners who eat the same as pig food.
Even so, Xiao Dapeng still lived like a year, and his whole body lost weight. Because the biggest loss was not the loss of freedom, but the loss of the days of being surrounded by people. Loneliness was his biggest enemy. In the cell
, even the jailer would not say a word to him, and Xiao Dapeng could only vent his depression sometimes by shouting hysterically.
Now the prison seat suddenly asked him to go out. He was startled at first, and then he understood that his time had come. Although this lonely life was about to be released, Xiao Dapeng felt very unwilling and regretful. If he had no ambition,
, has been following Liu Ziqiu, and now he should be able to enjoy the glory and wealth, be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister. But there is no regret medicine in the world, and what awaits him can only be a road of no return.
With a heavy heart, Xiao Dapeng was escorted out of the prison by the jailer. Because it was late at night, he didn't have to worry about the dazzling sunlight making him unable to adapt. Outside the prison door, there was a carriage parked. Guarding the carriage was a team of knights in black armor.
, the leader of this team of knights is his former good brother Shuanzi.
Now Shuanzi has been awarded the title of Marquis, and he is also wearing a shining golden armor today, looking majestic. Shuanzi is very clear about the things Xiao Dapeng has done, so he doesn't have a good look towards him. He just waved his hand lightly and said:
"Put him in the car and take him away!"
Before getting on the carriage, Xiao Dapeng looked back at Shuanzi, and finally sighed without saying anything. The carriage was very spacious, and two tough warriors held him hostage on the left and right. The curtains were lowered, and the surroundings were dark again.
, he could only feel the sound of wheels driving on the stone road. Xiao Dapeng felt ashamed when he thought of Shuanzi's attitude. He was afraid that he would go to the execution ground if he left.
Although I couldn't see what was going on outside, I heard various commands from time to time along the way. Soon, the car stopped, and the two samurai got out of the car, only to be replaced by two young women. These two young women were very beautiful.
They are not related at all, they are all powerful and powerful people, and they all carry horizontal swords at their waists. Xiao Dapeng's heart sank, how are you going to kill me?
The car continued to move forward, and the people asking for passwords were replaced by women. Although Xiao Dapeng was once addicted to women, but seeing the appearance of the two women around him, the young voices outside could not arouse his thoughts at all. The car started again.
After driving forward for a while, I finally stopped, and then I heard someone shout: "Get off the car!"
The voice sounded very familiar. Xiao Dapeng was hesitating when the two women sitting next to him had already picked him up and lifted him out of the car without even touching the ground. These two women were not only vulgar,
The strength is also amazing.
After getting out of the car, Xiao Dapeng also recognized it and exclaimed: "Vanilla!"
Today's Vanilla is no longer the yellow-haired girl she used to be. She has grown into a tall and graceful girl. Not only that, her current status in the palace is also relatively transcendent. Even Gao Xiuer is lower than Gao Xiu'er alone, and is higher than thousands of people, even Hua Hua.
Yun and Mu Duoli both wanted to give her three points, and Lin Qiaoer didn't even dare to act like a master in front of her.
Naturally, Vanilla hated Xiao Dapeng and didn't want to pay attention to him at all. She snorted coldly and turned around into a courtyard. The two vulgar women then pushed Xiao Dapeng: "Quickly leave!"
Entering the courtyard and seeing the magnificent Chen Tong around him, Xiao Dapeng understood that this was the palace. Since he had arrived at the palace, he should not be executed for the time being, so Xiao Dapeng felt relieved. In the courtyard, a tall figure stood with his hands behind his back, looking up.
Looking at the starry sky. Although Xiao Dapeng could only see his back, he couldn't help but tremble.
Seeing this figure from behind, he remembered the handprint on the huge stone at the entrance of Changshan Village. The handprint was very deep, and after years of rain and wind, it was still very clear. Every time Xiao Dapeng entered and left Changshan Village, he could see the huge handprint, but
I never took it to heart. When I saw the owner of the fingerprint today, Xiao Dapeng finally felt scared. He knelt down with a plop, prostrated on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Brother Liu, I am guilty!"
Liu Ziqiu slowly turned around and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Dapeng, stand up!"
Xiao Dapeng didn't dare to say a word, so he quickly got up from the ground and stood aside with his head lowered.
Liu Ziqiu's sharp gaze swept across his face, and suddenly said coldly: "Xiao Dapeng, do you have any regrets?"
Xiao Dapeng hurriedly said: "Regret, regret. Brother Liu, my intestines are full of regret now!"
Liu Ziqiu could tell that he didn't mean what he said at all, so he couldn't help frowning, and after being silent for a while, he still said: "Since you are regretful, I will spare your life for the sake of your grandfather."
