Prince Boring and Concubine Qiao Ai

Chapter 34

The Wu family's carriage was parked at the gate of the Dragon Pavilion, the emperor's bedroom, next to the imperial study, even the empress dowager was not allowed to come in and out casually.

The guards naturally stopped Zhao Ling.

Wu Lan stuck out her tongue, "You can only help you here, and I can't get in."

Zhao Ling bit his lip, "I'll figure it out myself."

"I'm leaving first, my sister is still waiting for me to go back and tell her the good news that Lord Luo is fine." Wu Lan bid farewell in a hurry. Miss Wu, as a concubine, could not leave the gate of the palace, so she could only rely on her younger brother to deliver the news.

Zhao Ling didn't count on little friend Wu Lan. He walked around to the back door and said to the tree, "Xiao Zhuang, I know you're here."

Ning Zhuang showed his head, "You want me to help you?"

Zhao Ling grinned, "I knew it, Xiao Zhuang, you are the most righteous."

I don't know when it started, but Ning Zhuang no longer minded him calling Xiao Zhuang.

Ning Zhuang has always followed Lord Luo, and Lord Luo will always take him when he enters and leaves the palace, and all the hidden guards in the palace know him.Now that Prince Luo is resting in the palace, he naturally guards outside the door, there is no need to be on guard.

As for the Thirteenth Prince...

He is not a dangerous person, he is skinny, has no potential to be an assassin at all, and there is no need to be prepared.

The advantage of martial arts masters is that climbing over a wall is like flat ground.Ning Zhuang took Zhao Ling into the courtyard of the Dragon Pavilion, put him down and went back to the tree to catch up on sleep.

Zhao Ling patted the dust. If he had known earlier, he should change to see Lord Luo.

Close to the house, only to hear the voice of an old man.The doctors invited by Xuanwu Pavilion are all inside.

"Prince Luo, he... only has one year to live." The speaker faltered, they had heard about how much the emperor valued Lord Luo, and they were undoubtedly pouring cold water on the emperor's anxious heart.

Zhao Ling hid behind the door, listening to Zhao Qi furious in the room, "Snake poison, you are helpless? Impossible, how could there be only one year left!"

"If it was diagnosed and treated at that time, it would be fine...but...after ten days, ten days later, the snake venom spread to the lungs, and the antidote was not clean..."

"Enough!" Zhao Qi overturned the table with a flick of his sleeves, "You all get out of here! I will pass on my decree, the famous doctor in the world, whoever can cure Lord Luo, will grant you ten thousand hectares of fertile land and ten thousand taels of gold!"

Everyone knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.

Emperor Jing'an had a gentle temper, and it was the first time that many of the emperor's close officials saw the emperor being angry like this.

"Get lost!" Zhao Qi wanted to be alone.

The people in the house left the house, and Zhao Ling climbed up the tree without being seen by them.

a year?

One year.

He thought he would be as sad as his elder brother, but he couldn't shed a single tear.

Have Zhao Lian's tears finally been shed by him?

Silently jumping off the tree, he approached the crack of the door and continued to observe the movement inside.Your Majesty, come out quickly!Luo Yi wants to see me more than you!

Luo Yi got out of bed and walked from the master bedroom to the front hall. Zhao Qi dragged his head with his arms and half lay on the square table. From childhood to adulthood, when he was the prince, he would subconsciously do this whenever he was worried.

"They're talking nonsense," Zhao Qi hurriedly helped Luo Yi sit down, "there are so many famous doctors in the world, I don't believe that no one can cure them well."

"Life and death are destiny," Luo Yi said, "I am satisfied."

"Let's break through the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​blood. I'm not reconciled to mere snake poison!" Zhao Qi covered his heart, "Little San, I won't let you give up!"

Luo Yi said, "I'm asking the emperor one more thing, I'm afraid... I'm going to embarrass you again."

"Embarrassment? There is no embarrassment, the world belongs to me, who can embarrass me in Daliang now!"

"I beg the emperor to give me a marriage." Luo Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "I beg the emperor to fulfill my love."

Zhao Qi almost jumped up, Luo Yi actually fell in love with someone else when he didn't know it at all, no matter who it is, it's better than a dead person, he hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

"Zhao Lian." Luo Yi looked up, at this moment, he regarded Zhao Qi as a brother, not a high-ranking emperor.He wanted Zhao Qi's blessing.

"Are you crazy?" Zhao Qi thought he heard it wrong.

"Think carefully, and never change until death." Luo Yi smiled, "Brother, this is my last wish. This marriage still needs to be decided by you, please make it come true."

After all the calculations, she never thought that Luo Yi would...marry his son?Luo Yi wants to recognize his son, he agrees, just treat his son as a shit luck, can he ask to marry, ask to marry a prince?

How many years has it been since Luo Yi called him big brother?When they were young, they were inseparable. When they grew up, no, after he ascended the throne and became the emperor, Lord Luo became more and more observant of the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers.He doesn't mind being high or low, but Luo Yi does. Every time he reminds him with actions, there is a lot of distance between them, and they can no longer be brothers like they used to.

"I've thought about it, maybe in three days." Luo Yi completely pretended that Zhao Qi had already agreed, "I won't live for a few more days, it will be a day sooner."

That's easy to say!He gave marriage?Those old and antique ministers, it's no wonder they didn't step through the threshold of the palace!

Zhao Lian's face... Luo Yi is really crazy, thinking about Zhao Jingming is crazy!

Zhao Qi was in a restless mood, 20 years, 20 years later, Zhao Jingming's shadow always popped up from time to time, looking for his bad luck!He has worked very hard to erase the three words Zhao Jingming from the history of the country. There is no right and wrong, no merits and demerits, and the infamy of traitors and thieves just quietly disappears with the passage of history.

Luo Yi built Nianming Temple, and he turned a blind eye. Luo Yi incorporated the remnants of Ningzhuang into the Mobei Army, and he also turned a blind eye. Luo Yi went around collecting Zhao Jingming's leftovers all year round. He bought Zhao Jingming's favorite yard, and he turned a blind eye...

In the end, she has to marry a man who looks very much like Zhao Jingming!

Isn't a year of life forcing him to agree?Luo Yi understands him just as he understands Luo Yi, and he can't bear to refuse his friend's last wish.

"I... yes..."

"Thank you, big brother."

Zhao Qi went out with his front foot, and Zhao Ling slipped in with his back foot.

The little maid who delivered the medicine was startled, but fortunately Zhao Ling quickly took the medicine bowl, so that Luo Yi's medicine did not turn into sewage.

"Go down." Luo Yi waved his hand and sent the little girl away who was so scared that her face turned pale.

Zhao Ling sat down opposite with a cold face, very angry.

"Thank you for saving my life." Luo Yi probed. In fact, he didn't know why Zhao Ling was angry.

"You know that there is a wound on your tongue, but you still give me drugs, don't you want to kill me? You have already felt uncomfortable, why didn't you tell me when you were riding a horse? Who are you holding on to? Don't faint if you have the ability! Xidu It's all in a mess, the sky of Luo Wangfu is about to collapse! You are dead, what should I do? Think irresponsible, huh? You want revenge, you want to see me feel sad for you, don't you!"

Zhao Ling took a deep breath, Zhao Qi and those doctors occupied Luo Yi for the whole night, these few words of reproach were the only remaining of the [-] words he wanted to scold before.

Luo Yi coughed, it was all his fault, it was all his fault, but when the words came to his mouth, it became...

"The emperor just agreed to our marriage."

"I heard it." Zhao Ling finished cursing, feeling relieved, blew on the steaming soup on the table, stirred it with a small spoon, and said, "I also...heard something else."

Luo Yi remained silent, Zhao Ling was behind the door all the time, so Zhao Ling heard all the conversations between him and Zhao Qi.

One year.

There is only one year left in his life.

Zhao Ling scooped up a small spoonful, put it on his lips and tried it, and it didn't burn before he handed it to Luo Yi's lips, "But...it doesn't matter, I will accompany you on Yangguan Road and Huangquan Road, and I won't let you go. lonely."

……

At this time, in the Luo Palace, it was extremely lively, and everyone was full of joy. Guard Ning commanded the soldiers of the Luo family, hung up red lanterns and ribbons, and pasted happy characters on the window frames. San reluctantly took the big red flowers, and the wedding clothes that arrived overnight were delivered, and the best restaurant in Liangdu put on the table the good wine that had been buried for ten years.

The emperor granted the marriage by decree, but the strange thing is that the imperial decree did not mention Princess Luo's name and family.The happy event of marrying the concubine in Luo Wang's mansion was spread like this.Everyone is curious, who is the concubine of Prince Luo, who can win the love of the most powerful royal family with different surnames in the dynasty.

The courtiers, including Prime Minister Xiao, did not know the inside story.Emperor Liang buried himself in the sea of ​​imperial edicts and memorials, and did not go to court for three days, exempting all audiences, even the empress dowager who sent people to ask questions was turned away.

Luo Yi really gave him a big problem.It wasn't until Concubine Wu Gui sent someone to deliver a letter into the emperor's study that Emperor Liang went out to pick up his sedan chair and made a special trip to Caiyue Palace.

The owner of Caiyue Palace is now Su Yingxue.Concubine Su was flattered when she saw the emperor, it would be nice for Zhao Qi to visit her once a year and a half, and on the night of the full moon, shouldn't she stay at the empress's place?

The next day, Zhao Ling received the imperial decree.

Zhao Ling and Luo Yi were trying on their wedding clothes and had no time to read the imperial decree. Ning Zhuang stretched out the imperial decree, and it was Zhao Qi's usual long-winded family talk. The position of the son of the world.

"and also?"

Ning Zhuang nodded, "Lord Luo married the Thirteenth Princess."

Speaking of welcoming relatives, we should start from the palace.Zhao Ling originally thought that Zhao Qi would not talk to him, but he had already agreed with Wu Lan to borrow the Wu family mansion as his natal family.Unexpectedly, Zhao Qi came up with a way to cheat.

The thirteenth princess has been dead for several years, so naturally she can't return to her soul to marry Luo Yi. This thirteenth is not the other thirteenth. Emperor Liang recognized a goddaughter to fill the vacancy of the thirteenth princess.The Thirteenth Princess is now Concubine Su's adoptive daughter, living in Caiyue Palace, and is about to marry Lord Luo to become the main concubine of Luo Palace.

"Luo Yi, I think big brother's idea is good. The Luo family married the royal family, and the name of the marriage is justified, which will block the hearts of everyone in the world, especially the Queen Mother." Zhao Ling felt that this idea was not Zhao Qi's idea.

"They will know it's you sooner or later." Luo Yi disagrees.

Zhao Ling turned around, the wedding dress fit perfectly, and the phoenix bird embroidered with gold thread was lifelike, "It's only a few people who know it, and it's fine if the world doesn't know it, so that the Luo Palace will not become the laughing stock of the world. Does it look good?"

Luo Yi picked up Zhao Ling, put him on the table and sat down, took the imperial decree from Ningzhuang, and threw it directly into the charcoal basin next to him.

"Hey..." Zhao Ling didn't have time to save her.

"I married you." Luo Yi said, "You are not some thirteenth princess."

Luo Yi is still unwilling to compromise.Relying on the fact that he can live for another year, Zhao Qi has to promise him everything. If he insists, it is not impossible for Zhao Ling to marry as the thirteenth prince.

Zhao Ling hugged Luo Yi's neck, exerted a little force, and made a tooth mark.He doesn't have a hobby of dressing up as a woman, and naturally he doesn't care about the thirteen princesses, but Zhao Qi did his best to protect the dignity of the Luo Palace and the royal family. He is not only Luo Yi's eldest brother, but also a The king of the country, many times, he has to take care of much more than Luo Yi.

He willfully wants a beautiful wedding, so as to comfort the souls of his mother, concubine and uncle in heaven.That's enough.

"It's just a name." Zhao Ling straightened Luo Yi's collar to cover up the marks of his teeth, "Promise to big brother, I also want to marry from Caiyue Palace."

Caiyue Palace used to be the residence of Zhao Ling's mother and concubine Xue Guifei, and it was also the place where he grew up.

Luo Yi finally followed Zhao Ling.

When Zhao Ling returned to Caiyue Palace, Concubine Su, who had already learned everything, was waiting for him.The thirteenth prince changed from Luo Wang's heir to the thirteen princess. She was afraid of such methods, after all, Luo Wang was notoriously cold.

"Concubine Su, I'm sorry." Zhao Ling and Concubine Su also had a fateful friendship. At that time, they left without saying goodbye and were taken away by Luo Yi. They always wanted to come back to say hello.

Su Yingxue was a little disappointed. She had just given birth to a daughter and became a mother. Thinking of how she treated Zhao Lian's mother and child, she felt guilty. She shouldn't vent her resentment on the innocent child. This child couldn't stay in the palace any longer, so she felt guilty. It will be like this, Lord Luo is powerful and powerful, but he is a man. Since ancient times, how can a man be willing to be suppressed by others?

"You got your wish, are you happy?"

Zhao Ling teased the cute little princess with a rattle, and said softly, "Lord Luo is a hero of the world, and to be loved by him is the blessing I have cultivated in several lifetimes."

"Both sons and daughters, and generations to come, are the blessings of a man. Can you guarantee that Lord Luo will never marry a woman to have a son? If that day comes, what should you do? Even if you have the status of a prince, the emperor... It seems that you will not Keep yours."

Zhao Ling almost said, "He dares!" Fortunately, the little princess clasped his fingers with a chubby white palm, giggling, so cute.

If, if Luo Yi can have a child... that's not bad, Zhao Ling thought.

Caiyue Palace is full of peace and serenity, Zhao Ling embraces the little princess' rattle, and falls into a beautiful dreamland.On the other side of the palace, when the moon was in the sky, Emperor Liang was alone, staring at the portraits of his ancestors in the ancestral hall for a long time.

Few people came to the ancestral hall, and it became a place where he and Luo Yi met and drank privately. In the future, Luo Yi might not come again.After Luo Yi gets married, he only has one year to live, and one year is very short. What if there is no doctor who can cure Luo Yi's poison?He dare not think.

Resentment?Who should he resent?Only myself.The only object he can hate is himself.

"Father, are you watching?" Zhao Qi smiled wryly, "It's obviously my retribution, and it's on Luo Yi. Is there any reason for God?"

Feng wanted to answer him, the leaves rustled, but he heard someone approaching behind him.

"Your Majesty, back then, it was not your fault." The visitor stood beside Zhao Qi, the gentleness from the inside out, which was incompatible with the coldness of late autumn.

Zhao Qi's smile became more ferocious, "Then who is at fault? It was my order to set fire to the forest in the western region, and thirty thousand heroic souls died in vain. It was my imperial decree that killed my own brother with three thousand swords It was also me who made the bait, and the queen mother captured Luo Yi and put him in confinement. He didn't have time to see A Ling for the last time..."

"It's not the emperor's fault. The emperor and the queen mother forced the emperor to do that, and the emperor had to make that choice."

"I have to...Xiao He, do you have a conscience? I ask you, the brother who was injured was disabled and Zhongliang was wronged and died tragically. Did you sleep peacefully all these years?" Zhao Qi didn't want to say it, but it was pressed in his heart for many years. These old things that I always want to forget.

Prime Minister Xiao put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Does the emperor know about it?"

"Before his father died, he told me all the nasty things planned by your Xiao family. Xiao He, I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that 20 years ago, you have always been aware of the various designs that your father made for the Xue family. You know! You just watched Xiaoqi approach your trap, you just watched him be framed for rebellion, and let him become the target of public criticism!"

The corner of Xiao He's mouth curled up into a smile, "There's nothing to worry about. At that time, I was timid and incompetent. I couldn't do anything but watch from the sidelines... just like... Your Majesty."

Zhao Qi drew out the sword at his waist and pointed at Xiao He, "Xiao He! Don't think that I dare not touch you!"

Prime Minister Xiao remained calm, "Instead of feeling guilty and worrying about what happened back then, Your Majesty, you might as well think about what Gong Si said about the jade seal of the Ning Kingdom. This matter is related to Xiaoqi, and the third brother will definitely get to the bottom of it and bring the man in black Get it out. If he catches the man in black and Yuxi is alive, the royal family's deeds against the Xue family will also be uncovered. At that time... it is also possible that the Mobei Luo Palace will turn Daliang."
