This moment.
Li Hong's mind went blank and he couldn't hear anything.
I don't know how long it took, but when I came back to my senses, I found myself lying on the ground, soaked all over.
His face turned green, and only two words came to his mind: It's over!
"Disrespect in front of the palace."
Emperor Yunwu said this with a half-smile.
Li Hong kowtowed, "Your Majesty, spare my life."
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
"You are quite bold. You actually have this idea. You dare to join forces with the third child before I am dead. Do you think that I must die early?"
Emperor Yunwu, who was less than forty this year, felt that he was in his prime.
But these hateful ministers and princes all hope that he will die!
He wanted to see who died first.
Emperor Yunwu squinted his eyes, murderous intent flashing through his eyes.
"My subordinates don't dare to do anything anymore. I beg the Emperor to spare my life... please spare my life."
"I recently heard that twins are unlucky, so I asked the Imperial Hospital for an abortion pill." Emperor Yunwu looked at him condescendingly.
"I will give you a way out, it's up to you whether you choose it or not."
Li Hong's expression changed.
"What? Are you still unwilling?" Emperor Yunwu laughed, "I also think you are tired, Li Wei, why don't you go home and rest first?"
Li Hong took the pills.
Under the meaningful eyes of Eunuch Lin'an, when he walked out of the hall, he found that his whole body was weak and he could not move at all.
"Eunuch..." Li Hong laughed harder than crying.
"Li Wewei, you have a bright future, but the Za family finds it strange that you have to seek your own death." Eunuch Lin'an patted him on the shoulder, "I hope the Za family can see you Li Wewei next time."
Li Hong felt a chill in his heart.
He knew that Eunuch Lin'an was warning him.
He doesn't even know when he will die.
When will the emperor drop the knife hanging above his head?
"Father-in-law, please give me some advice." Li Hong said stiffly. He was quite smart, otherwise he would not have reached his current position at such a young age.
If he was too stupid, he would have been framed and dragged down long ago.
Eunuch Lin'an smiled and said, "How do you think the emperor can let you go?"
"loyalty."
"absolute sincerity."
"valuable."
"As the saying goes, when a person is alive, he never knows how happy he is to be alive. Only at the moment before death can he see through those illusory things and know that life is the most important thing."
"What's the use of having more power if you don't have a life?"
"Besides, whether you can sit in a high position, you must also examine yourself to see if you have the ability."
"In this harem, there are many arrogant concubines. Everyone thinks that they can sit in the supreme position, but in fact? There are countless dead bones buried in this harem."
"Those who have no self-awareness will always be the first to die."
"Oh, look at the Zajia family. It's too verbose. Guard Li, please leave the palace quickly."
Eunuch Lin'an smiled, waved his hand, and casually arranged for a young eunuch to take him out of the palace.
Li Hong walked out with one heavy foot and one shallow foot, still thinking in his heart.
What do I want?
I walked from the village to the emperor's personal guard to this day.
If you have money and power, why do you continue to pursue that illusory power?
Because of greed.
Because he was coerced by the court, he had to move forward.
Why did he continue to live in this fearful position.
There is only one way for him to die now.
What is the way out?
right.
It's loyalty.
It is my only value that can still help the emperor.
Li Hong made a decision in his heart.
After he came out of the palace, he visited the Third Prince's Mansion with a dejected face.
The third prince Yunzhen's heart skipped a beat when he saw Li Hong coming, especially the embarrassed look on his body.
"Guard Li, what's the matter?"
"Your Highness, I'm sorry for you."
Yun Zhen was startled and stood up suddenly, "What do you mean by this?"
"My subordinate is in the palace today and was arranged by the emperor to bring Concubine An for interrogation, but Concubine An is the culprit who framed Concubine Lin behind her back."
"The emperor summoned his subordinates at the Qinzheng Palace afterwards."
"My subordinate was so nervous that I broke the tea cup and was disobedient in front of the palace." Li Hong looked dejected. "The emperor sent his subordinates to go home and reflect on themselves. He did not mention when he would be reinstated."
"How could you be so careless?" Yun Zhen stood up angrily and almost pointed at Li Hong and cursed.
Li Hong lowered his head and said nothing.
Yun Zhen walked around in circles and said, "Don't worry, as long as you are not involved in the witchcraft case, the most you can do is vent your anger. When your anger subsides, I will intercede with you on your behalf."
"You can stay at home and cultivate yourself during these days, but be sure not to cause any trouble again."
"yes."
After Li Hong left the third prince's house.
That night.
He went to meet his sister in another courtyard.
"Xiaoqing, do you want to travel far away?" Li Hong said softly, handing her the red date cake, "This is what my brother made by imitating the red date cake from his hometown."
"I don't know if it's similar to what my parents did."
Qing Jiao chuckled, "Brother, you still have time to make red date cakes. I thought you were so busy on duty in the palace that you didn't even have time to eat."
"How could it be? In fact, I'm not that busy." Li Hong touched the tip of his nose and said apologetically, "It's all my fault that eldest brother didn't come to spend more time with you."
"Brother, you don't need to say this. I know that without you, I would still be hungry. You promised my parents to take good care of me, and you have done a good job." Qingjiao's voice was soft.
It's different from the Jiao in her name.
Qingjiao is not pampered at all. On the contrary, she is a gentle and virtuous girl.
"Brother, I'm sorry for you." Li Hong couldn't help but shed tears when he looked at his sister like this.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Qingjiao anxiously handed over the veil and looked at him worriedly.
Li Hong's voice was choked and his eyes were red, "Xiaoqing, you...if I want you to leave His Highness, are you willing?"
"Brother, something must have happened to you." Qing Jiao looked cautious.
She reached out and grabbed Li Hong's hand and said, "Brother, I don't care about other people, I only care about you. You must not do dangerous things for me. If something happens to you, I will never forgive myself in my life." .”
"Sister, then you can eat this red date cake."
Qingjiao looked at the unbearable look in his eyes, which contained painful emotions.
Qing Jiao smiled gently, "Brother, I'll eat it, don't be afraid."
She said, picked up the red date cake and put a piece into her mouth.
Li Hong looked at her actions without hesitation, raised his hand and knocked down the pastry.
Can be beaten down.
Li Hong regretted it again.
Qingjiao saw the pain and struggle in her brother's eyes.
She didn't ask anything, just continued to pick up the red date cake and continued eating with a gentle smile on her face.
Li Hong watched her eat it with tears streaming down his face.
It didn't take long.
Qingjiao felt a pain in her stomach and seemed to understand something.
She touched her belly reluctantly, but still made a decision resolutely.
