"King Qi is just a small clan member. How can he compete with His Majesty? It's just an egg against a stone!"
The emperor suddenly tilted his head and then turned back: "Wan Yanliang is a fierce tiger. You haven't seen his ambition!"
"Why don't we get rid of it earlier?"
He seemed to be deep in thought, and walked gently to the edge of the curtain, holding on to the red pillar and sighing: "I am not a heartless and unrighteous person. My father died long ago. I was raised by Uncle Zong Qian since I was a child. He treated me well." Like a parent and son, there is no slightest neglect. I grew up with King Qi. If I kill people now without asking whether I am guilty, I would be sorry for my late uncle."
"This matter needs to be considered in the long term, so let's take it slow and take a look!"
"Everyone has thought carefully and I understand," Da Xingguo nodded slightly.
Mixed with the hoarse sound of the orchestra, bursts of small footsteps gradually approached: "Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived!"
A palace maid clasped her hands and walked through the hall to come to him. He was stunned for a while, and then waved angrily: "Tell her to go back to the palace. I have state affairs to deal with tonight!"
Before the words were spoken, the queen walked in leisurely wearing a beaded hairpin gown, and sat on the armchair beside her, investigating the case alone.
Everyone fell to the ground and worshiped: "I have seen your empress, she is a thousand years old."
She curled her lips and looked at the warblers and swallows in the hall, and then glanced at the remaining cups of wine on his desk. She held her forehead and said, "Is it your Majesty's state affairs to watch these fireworks here?"
When he saw her being so disrespectful in public, he scolded her: "Queen, I wonder if there are any rules in your eyes!"
She smiled and pointed at the pile of Lucky Girls with a very relaxed look: "Look at these girls, they are so tender and soft, they make people fall in love with them just by looking at them. Come on! I will take the girls to have a good time." "
After hearing the Queen's order, everyone at the station looked at each other and whispered in private.
"Girls love to play so much, so they invite people to come... How about having sex with tigers and leopards? Then ask all the girls in the band to come and have a look," the queen thought for a moment, then pursed her lips and smiled.
Just listening to these words, everyone was frightened out of their souls. This tiger and leopard play is a severe punishment. In ancient times, those who were subjected to it would either die on the spot, or die from pain and blood loss. Even if they could survive, they would be tortured to the point of being miserable. I will never be able to see anyone for the rest of my life.
I don’t know who first proposed this kind of criminal law. It was originally aimed at women who behaved unchastely. In ancient times, very few people used this method. Now the queen uses severe punishment to punish her, but it is chilling.
All those girls knelt down and begged for mercy, banging their foreheads loudly and crying like rain: "My queen, please atone for your sins. I don't dare to wait for you anymore!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Suddenly, guards came in from outside the palace. They picked up the graceful women one by one with great brutality and tried to drag them outside the palace. The scene was tragic for a time.
Just now, the night strings were ringing around the beams, but now there were only sounds of pain and panic in the hall.
Seeing this situation, the emperor couldn't sit still anymore. He threw away the cup and Long Yan was furious: "Wait a minute, queen, I'm not dead yet. When will it be your turn to dominate here?"
She did not look into his sharp eyes, but simply touched the waist of her gorgeous clothes with her face turned away: "Your Majesty has a cough, and you are still drinking and having fun here. Don't you want this dragon body? Why, you didn't hear what I said. Really? Pull it down!"
Seeing that the palace people had not taken action yet, she opened her mouth again to scare the palace people. The guards with swords dragged the dancing girl out, and she could only hear howling.
The queen glanced at the maid beside her and winked. The maid took the signal and trotted out. The queen suddenly lowered her eyes, her eyes full of sadness.
Suddenly the emperor's tall body came over and pointed at the queen's nose. He wanted to reach out and hit her, but he took his hand back: "Queen, don't think that I dare not do anything to you? I can be dead tomorrow." You, welcome Samao as your new queen!"
She smiled bitterly for a long time, and felt a chill creeping into her heart. She thought that he had already planned to give up the position of queen to someone else. The couple had been together for decades. She married this man when she was a teenager and believed his words. She became his queen, but in the end, the only thing left between the two of them was their coldness.
She lowered her face and lowered her eyes, and her tone was like a morning flower about to fall, a little calm and a little sad: "Depose the queen? The Pei Man family standing behind me, if your majesty deposes my concubine, just wait for the country to disappear!"
"You are all a joke. I am the emperor and have the power of kingship granted by God. How can you, a woman, control the power?"
"Then your Majesty, you might as well give it a try."
"As the queen, do you look a little bit like the mother of the country?" It seemed that the emperor had to endure it for a long time before smashing the tea cup on the table.
She listened to the sound of debris splashing, and another piece of porcelain flew over and scratched her wrist. When she saw it, she just closed her sleeves more tightly and cried with some heartbreak in response.
"Does Your Majesty act like an emperor? Everyone in the world says that His Majesty is benevolent, but how can they, so far away from the world, understand how I, a resentful woman in the palace, live my life?"
Her words touched the deepest pain in his heart. She only looked at him standing alone, his eyes suddenly filled with vicissitudes of life. Then she quietly put her hands behind her back and looked at his wife, whom she had been married to for several years, and asked softly: "What do you want?" say what?"
There seemed to be confusion in the eyes of the mother of the country. She stared at the bright window in trance, her slender eyelashes lowered and then raised: "My mother's respect for the world is a role model for women, but I am also a woman and a mother. Every winter in the twelfth lunar month, I will I think of the deceased Emperor, and I wonder if the Emperor is cold or hungry there."
Her tone gradually faded, and she quietly stroked her hair again, with a few strands of black hair hanging down from her forehead: "Over the years, I have seen several princesses lively and healthy. I pity my Ji'an. He hasn't even had time to call me '嬢嬢'" So I left early, it’s just that I’m not blessed.”
The emperor turned around and walked away, his broad shoulders standing in front of the bright window. The plum blossoms in the courtyard of Fu'an Palace were vaguely visible, and his thoughts were brought back to six years ago...
That year, when Wanyan was 24 years old, the wife in front of him had his first son. He was very happy to name his son Wanyan Jian in the property account, hoping that he would be able to help the world and bring peace to the Four Mirrors in the future.
After waiting for Ji'an for three months, he made him the prince and doted on his son more and more. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Ji'an was weak and had not recovered from a long illness. When his illness worsened, he and the queen went to the Buddhist temple to burn incense. He cried bitterly and prayed for the safety of his beloved son, and granted amnesty to criminals and prisoners within a radius of 500 miles, but in the end he was unable to keep this child in the world.
From then on, he had nothing to do with the queen, and their temperaments also changed accordingly. Until now, the relationship between the couple has become so cold that they even turned against each other.
Deep in his heart, he felt extremely guilty for his beloved son and the queen, but as an emperor, he could not express it in words. He could only look for the shadow of the two people's affection at the beginning, relying on this ethereal imagination, Living in emptiness.
He looked down at the bright window, then turned around and sighed: "Don't mention the past again! Let it go!"
When the queen heard these words, she raised her voice and sneered coldly: "In the past, your Majesty, your Majesty was so understated? This matter will never be erased in my heart. I will always remember how your Majesty hurt my heart and trampled on me. dignity."
"When have I ever been sorry to you? So I asked you to make it sound like I had committed a heinous crime?"
She turned her face and suddenly sneered coldly: "Your majesty, your merciless lover, when will you understand my pain? The emperor passed away, and I was devastated. I thought that your majesty could stay with me and walk with me through that period." day."
"But His Majesty favored most of the newcomers at that time. There were countless concubines in the palace. It was okay to accept concubines. I could comfort myself that Your Majesty was doing it for the sake of the royal family. But His Majesty should never have fallen in love with the emperor's younger brother. A woman has fallen in love with the wrong person."
As she spoke, her shoulders trembled, and her broken hair fell even more. She reached out to hold her hair again, her jade arms feeling cold in the cool winter wind.
"I know that today I have burned someone close to your Majesty's heart. Your Majesty is heartbroken, but your Majesty's heartache is nothing compared to one ten thousandth of my heartbreak."
"I am an emperor and a human being. I have people I like. Is that wrong?"
"What about my concubine? How many years have I shared the joys and sorrows with you? When His Majesty first came to the world, Nianhan was suppressing him everywhere. You couldn't sleep at night. It was my concubine who slowly lulled you to sleep by singing light songs every night. Watching His Majesty take a rest, I Only then are you willing to fall asleep, has Your Majesty forgotten all these things?" The Queen said as she stood up unsteadily and pointed out the bright window, looking at the mother of a country, but she also had this fragile moment.
Hearing her murmurings and weeping, he felt a burst of sadness, and an unbearable bitterness hung in his heart. He thought about the time when the two of them had sex under the red light. For a moment, there were dimly warm candles, and the remaining wine in the silver cup, in the twisted yarn tent. The spring night lasted for a while, but now, the sleeves of the dance hall are cold and the jade arms have been cold for more than several years, but the infatuation of the one I loved back then is no longer there.
