Chapter 171 Isn't this asking him to cuckold his own father?
Beijing.
All the provinces were busy preparing for autumn, and the imperial city rarely had a few days of leisure. Emperor Shunyuan asked the prince to supervise the country while he went hunting in the Xishan paddocks.
The Xishan Paddock is a royal paddock and is always heavily guarded. Emperor Shunyuan comes here every year to hunt, most often three or four times a year.
Unfortunately, after they arrived at Xishan, it rained continuously, so they could only temporarily set up camp and wait for the weather to clear.
At night, there was lightning and thunder, and Emperor Shunyuan did not sleep well.
In the electric light, he seemed to see the late Queen again. She was standing beside the bed, staring at him quietly. Her eyes were still so gentle, as if the two people had never been separated.
"Yao'er."
Emperor Shunyuan shouted softly and his whole body woke up.
Li Deyuan approached holding the lamp holder and said quickly: "Did the Emperor dream of the Queen again?"
Emperor Shunyuan sat up, and after a suffocating silence, he said: "Twenty-three years, it has been twenty-three years since she left."
Li Defu comforted him: "How could the empress be willing to leave? She just changed her way to accompany the emperor, the eldest princess and the prince."
Everyone knows that the first empress died in childbirth. But what they don't know is that at that time, the power of the queen mother was entrenched in the harem, and the first empress died of hemorrhage due to the conspiracy of the queen mother and the administration of oxytocin.
The Queen Mother's party was finally liquidated by the Emperor, but unfortunately the Queen Mother never came back.
Li Defu accompanied the emperor from the time he ascended the throne to the present. He knew that the emperor and the queen were childhood sweethearts. After they got married, they supported each other and had a deep relationship. Moreover, the emperor had been dead for so long, and the emperor refused to establish a queen. This shows that the emperor used his affection.
deep.
"Your Majesty, the rain has stopped, please let me accompany you for a walk."
Li Defu put down the lamp holder and brought over his cloak.
After Emperor Shunyuan put on his cloak, he took his bow and arrows and took Li Defu out with the lantern.
There were patrolling guards outside, holding torches high, and the camp looked calm.
Ever since his grandson was born, Emperor Shunyuan had long thought of abdicating the throne, so he did not value his own life and death as much as before.
Taking Li Defu with him, he ordered a group of soldiers and horses. When the sky first appeared, Emperor Shunyuan entered the forest.
In the forest in the early morning, rain and dew fell with the wind, dripping on everyone's heads.
When the sun rose from the east, the dazzling light stunned everyone's attention. At this moment, the sound of cranes chirping in the distance was clear and sad.
Emperor Shunyuan looked up and saw a woman in white suddenly appeared in the forest in the distance. She was wearing a veil and turned around to run away as if she was frightened.
"How could there be anyone in the woods at this hour?"
Li Defu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Could it be an assassin? I'll take someone to check it out?"
Emperor Shunyuan drew his bow and sneered: "No, I want to see who has such courage?"
After saying that, the long arrow shot out with a whoosh.
The long arrow shot into the forest and directly nailed the veil of the woman in white to the trunk of the tree. The woman was frightened and stayed in place. Bright red blood drops quickly fell from her bruised cheek. This time she did not run away again, but went straight to the tree trunk.
Look straight at Emperor Shunyuan.
It was at this glance that Emperor Shunyuan saw her appearance clearly and froze on the spot.
"Yao'er..."
The woman in the distance quickly arranged her clothes calmly and calmly, and then bowed Yingying.
That face, that figure, that manner...
Li Defu seemed to have seen a ghost, his eyes were full of disbelief.
Emperor Shunyuan chased after him on horseback. The color of the world suddenly changed, and gradually only that person remained in his eyes...
…
When Prince An received the letter, it happened that the Song family also sent a banknote of ten thousand taels. At this time, he felt comfortable, so he opened the envelope and read it himself.
When I saw this, my eyes lit up.
The art of witchcraft has always been expressly prohibited, but if it was really just a low-level sorcery, or if there was no real skill, it would not have been banned for so many years?
It seems that there are indeed traces of witchcraft. As long as he finds such a capable person, is he afraid that he will not be able to control his father?
Just when Prince An was thinking about doing some good work for Xu Xiao and asked Xu Xiao to help him find someone who knew witchcraft, the chief official, Liao Changfei, came to report that the emperor had returned to the palace.
King Anjun said: "Go back to the palace as soon as you return to the palace. Now that the prince is in charge of the country, if there is any problem, he will not be able to blame me."
Liao Changfei's eyes tightened and he lowered his voice and said, "It is said that the emperor brought back a woman who has been named Hui Gui."
Prince An was startled at first, and then laughed and said: "So what, she is just a woman, what threat can she pose to us adult princes?"
Liao Changfei continued: "This concubine Hui is about the same age as the prince, and she looks exactly like the late empress. It is said that her birthday is the anniversary of the late empress' death."
Prince An was also shocked: "What a coincidence?"
Liao Changfei nodded and said solemnly: "We still don't know if this concubine Hui will help the prince to deal with the prince. If she blows the pillow next to the emperor, who knows whether the emperor will be affected?"
Prince An clenched his fists, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"She dares!"
Liao Changfei didn't want to pour cold water on her, but there had been no new concubines in the harem for many years. Most importantly, the last time she was so favored and became the emperor's new favorite Huimei in just a few days was twenty years ago.
However, it was thanks to the fact that the prince had a high fever that the emperor rushed to take care of the prince. Huimei was dissatisfied and cursed the prince in the palace, and was immediately executed by the emperor's order.
Since then, there have been no new concubines in the palace, but only the concubines who served the emperor when the former queen was still alive.
Among them, Prince An’s mother-in-law Xian Fei was the concubine who married the emperor together with the late empress.
Liao Changfei thought that the current concubine Hui Gui was about the same age as Prince An, so he said to Prince An: "If that doesn't work, we can only make Concubine Hui one of our own, so that we can have more help in the palace."
Prince An looked at him strangely: "How did it change? Didn't you say she looks like the late queen?"
Liao Changfei said: "Because of this, the prince will definitely hate her, and this is his opportunity."
"It's just a woman. If she is favored again, who do you think she will choose between the emperor and the prince?"
Prince An was so frightened that he took in a breath of cold air and looked at the Chang Shi of his mansion in disbelief.
Liao Changfei continued: "Your Majesty, Military Power, Yinzi and other subordinates can make suggestions, but the subordinates can't do anything except the Holy Favor. But if we have favored people in the palace, we can know the Emperor's thoughts at any time, then the Holy Spirit can
Favor is nothing but dispensable for the prince."
Doesn’t this require him to cuckold his own father??
Prince An looked at Liao Changfei and was speechless for a long time.
