Liu Yu has not left the palace recently, but is busy making love with the two concubines of Xina. As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yu felt that he should enjoy himself. He did not reject women, but he rarely visited the concubines in his harem. Because he knew that he might never have another child in his life, so it was better to pamper his son more.
But this kind of thing always depends on fate, just like the saying "God sent from heaven" that Liu Yu often heard in his previous life, which means that God will choose the right time and place when giving you a gift.
Tonight, Liu Yu just woke up from his nap, so he planned to summon several major concubines from the harem to come and sleep with him.
According to the rules, which concubine the emperor wanted to summon, the eunuch must give oral instructions on his behalf, and then let the latter take a bath, change clothes, and dress up.
Liu Yu was too lazy to bother, but now he is weak and needs to rest. But this time, he was stopped by a young eunuch: "Your Majesty, you'd better go in person!"
Liu Yu frowned and asked, "Why?"
The little eunuch said with a smile: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? You have promised before that if any empress gives birth to a prince, you will make her a noble concubine!"
Liu Yu suddenly realized: "You mean, the imperial concubine is pregnant?"
The little eunuch nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise! It's already March. My mother's stomach has been quite stable. It's probably just this month."
Liu Yu burst out laughing. Although the emperor has many women, among these women, only the imperial concubine treats him sincerely. Liu Yu even remembered clearly that when he was seriously ill in his previous life, the imperial concubine always stayed by his bedside and never left her. Even though Liu Yu demoted her to a commoner, she remained loyal to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was quite moved by this.
"Let's go! I'm going to visit the imperial concubine and take a look at our son." Liu Yu stood up with a smile.
The little eunuch immediately supported Liu Yu diligently and walked out.
Zhaoyang Palace, where the imperial concubine lives, is located at the head of the Sixth Palace in the West, only half a mile away from the Imperial Study Room, and more than fifty feet away from Changning Palace, where the queen and concubines live.
In the Zhaoyang Hall, the lights were bright, and the imperial concubine was sitting on the couch, holding a pink and jade-like baby in her arms, and was gently stroking his face.
When Liu Yu entered the door, the imperial concubine quickly knelt down on the ground and saluted respectfully: "I, my concubine, are attending your majesty."
Liu Yu was slightly startled. The imperial concubine's behavior was completely different from her usual arrogance, but rather a bit humble.
He waved his hand and said: "Get up!"
The imperial concubine whispered: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Yu took the child from the imperial concubine's arms, looked at it carefully for a moment, and praised with a smile: "My imperial concubine, this is our dragon species! I look at it, it looks like it was carved from the same mold as you."
The imperial concubine lowered her head shyly.
Liu Yu teased her for a while, then turned his attention to the other concubine next to him - Li Guiyuan.
"Is this your daughter? Why does she look more like you?" Liu Yu asked with a smile.
Li Guiyuan said delicately: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am a twin sister."
"Oh? Is this happening?"
Li Guiyuan continued: "Your Majesty, if you are interested, you might as well ask my concubine to come over and let her talk to you."
Liu Yu nodded: "That's right."
Not long after, a pretty little girl about ten years old walked into the house from outside and timidly saluted Liu Yu.
"Are you Mr. Li? Raise your head and let me see!"
Li raised her head and glanced at Liu Yu secretly with watery eyes.
Liu Yu secretly sighed: This little girl is quite pretty, she is worthy of being a twin sister, but she is just a little less charming, a little less alert, and a little more innocent than her elder sister.
"Your Majesty, she..." Li Guiyuan hesitated.
Liu Yu smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry! Concubine, I won't treat her badly. I know whose daughter she is."
Li Guiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to comfort her sister: "Don't be afraid, just stay quietly by His Majesty's side, His Majesty will protect you."
Mr. Li lowered his head and said, "Yes!"
Liu Yu laughed and said: "Your sister is right. Since I said I would protect you, I will naturally fulfill my promise. You should stay with me from now on, and I will teach you well."
He said and waved his hand.
A group of eunuchs walked in and began carrying various jewelry. These things were worth tens of thousands of gold, but Liu Yu threw them on the ground without mercy.
The imperial concubine opened her mouth in surprise: "Your Majesty, what are you doing? These jewels are extremely precious..."
"Precious? Huh! In my eyes, these things are just scrap copper and iron. Just throw them away. Concubine, don't worry, I can still afford to pay for these jewels." Liu Yu said boldly.
The imperial concubine smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I am not reluctant to part with these things, but I am worried that they will cause shock to the government and the public."
Liu Yu sneered: "I am the emperor! I spend money to buy things, who dares to say anything?"
The imperial concubine shook her head and sighed: "But, Your Majesty, have you forgotten? You said before that after you ascend the throne, you will hand over the harem to the queen, concentrate on government affairs, and no longer pay attention to these worldly disputes."
Liu Yu slapped his head and said, "Yes, I almost forgot. If you didn't mention this, I almost made a mistake!"
He suddenly smiled and said: "You are right. You have done this matter very appropriately. In this case, the financial power of the harem will be controlled by the queen from now on!"
"Your Majesty..." The imperial concubine looked horrified: "The queen is the mother of the world, how can she control the harem?"
Liu Yu muttered: "The Queen is indeed not suitable to control the harem, but I have decided that you will be responsible for the affairs of the harem. Your brother is still young and should not be involved in state affairs. You will first help the Queen and handle all chores. Bar."
The imperial concubine begged: "Your Majesty, I don't know the affairs of the court, and I have no experience in housekeeping."
Liu Yu said impatiently: "I say yes, that's all! Don't worry, I will definitely find someone trustworthy to take the helm for you!"
"this……"
"What is this? Go pack your things and follow me!" Liu Yu ordered domineeringly.
"But Your Majesty..."
"Nothing! Pack your things quickly, we have to leave early!"
"Yes! I obey the order!" The imperial concubine had no choice but to get up and pack her luggage.
Liu Xuan looked gloomy as he watched the imperial concubine walk out.
Seeing his gloomy look, Li Guiyuan hurriedly stepped forward and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, I heard that you have been traveling around recently and your health is not good. Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look at it?"
"No need!" Liu Xuan said calmly, "You don't have to worry too much, I'm very fine."
Liu Xuan's thoughts were all on the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine has been recovering from her injuries during this period, and her body is recovering well, but she has never been able to get pregnant.
He felt a little anxious. After all, the imperial concubine's body and bones were really worrying!
Liu Xuan didn't know how to solve this matter.
After much deliberation, he sent an imperial physician to diagnose the imperial concubine's pulse.
"The Queen is in good health, but the chance of pregnancy is too small, so there is nothing I can do." The imperial doctor shook his head and said he was helpless.
Liu Xuan suddenly became disappointed.
The imperial concubine was in poor health. He also hoped to take this opportunity to claim credit in front of the queen and make the queen take him seriously. Unexpectedly, all this was in vain.
"Your Majesty, don't be sad. I will work hard to recuperate your body and strive to give birth to a Lin'er for you."
Liu Xuan forced a smile, "Yeah! I know, you don't have to worry about this, just have a good rest."
Liu Xuan turned around and walked out of the dormitory.
He walked outside and told the guards: "Send the order and ask someone to prepare the car. I want to leave the palace."
Li Guiyuan saw Liu Xuan coming out and hurriedly greeted him.
She leaned weakly into Liu Xuan's arms and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, where are you going?"
"I'm going to see your biological sister." Liu Xuan said with a smile.
Li Guiyuan was startled, something strange passed through her heart, and she quickly said: "Then I, my concubine, should go with you."
Liu Xuan shook his head and said: "Forget it, you can recuperate in the palace!"
Li Guiyuan was a little disappointed, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Liu Xuan left the palace and led two personal guards to the north of the city.
After Liu Xuan left, Li Guiyuan sat on the bed and watched him drift away, with a trace of ridicule on her face.
These men are really abominable, every one of them is a philanderer, and every one of them changes their mind when they see something different.
"Hmph! You want to abandon me? I won't let you do it. Even if you want to abolish me, you have to see if I agree or not!"
Li Guiyuan gritted her teeth bitterly, her eyes flashing with resentment.
She is bound to win this position of queen.
She wanted this bitch to taste the feeling of falling out of favor.
When Li Guiyuan thought of this, she felt a sense of revenge in her heart, as if she had seen the queen being thrown into the cold palace and left alone.
Liu Xuan came to the suburbs and found a dilapidated house.
This house has been abandoned for many days, and the soldiers guarding the house have turned into corpses.
Liu Xuan looked at the dead people in the courtyard, his heart felt cold.
"Did you kill all these people?" Liu Xuan asked.
A masked man in black knelt down and kowtowed: "My subordinate is not doing well, please punish me, my lord!"
Liu Xuan looked at him indifferently: "Since you are not doing your job well, go and report to the Palace of Hell!"
The masked man in black was stunned, and then said happily: "Thank you, Lord!"
He stood up, drew his sword and stabbed Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan stretched out his hand and grabbed the sword firmly in his hand.
He held a long sword and put the tip of the sword against the throat of the man in black: "I will ask you a few questions and answer them honestly. Otherwise, I will cut your neck immediately!"
"Yes! Lord!" The man in black nodded quickly.
Liu Xuan said slowly: "Who is your leader?"
"This..." The man in black hesitated.
"You don't want to say it?" Liu Xuan sneered.
"No...don't dare! Our leader..."
"explain!"
"Yes! The leader called...called..."
"Bang!" With a sound, the sword pierced the chest of the man in black, and blood spattered.
The man in black fell to the ground and twitched several times, unable to move anymore.
Liu Xuan kicked his body away and said coldly: "Since you are unwilling to confess, then go see the King of Hell!"
He pulled out his sword and blood spurted out.
Liu Xuan frowned. He had tried his best just now, but he didn't expect that there was no reaction at all from this sword.
"What on earth is going on?" He murmured, with strong doubts flashing in his eyes.
"My lord, don't be angry!" A woman's voice sounded, "This sword is a mortal sword, so naturally it cannot withstand your attack!"
"Who are you?" Liu Xuan asked warily.
He had never seen this woman, let alone heard her voice.
This woman was wearing a black robe and a ghost mask, covering most of her face. It could only be vaguely seen that she was a woman.
"Guess!" the woman laughed softly.
"Who are you?" Liu Xuan said angrily, "If you don't say anything again, I will be rude to you!"
"I am your woman." The woman giggled.
"Nonsense!" Liu Xuan shouted, brandished his sword, and attacked the woman.
"Hahaha..." the woman looked up to the sky and screamed, "I'm afraid you will never forget me in this life!"
The woman's voice became farther and farther away, becoming more and more ethereal.
Liu Xuan's sword seemed to be cutting into the air, without any effect.
"Damn it! Who are you? Get out of here!" Liu Xuan said angrily.
The woman giggled and said, "How can you remember me if I don't come out? I'm right next to you."
The woman's words made Liu Xuan feel creepy.
The woman's voice seemed to be right next to his ears, making him shudder.
Liu Xuan quickly turned around and looked around, but did not find any trace of the woman.
"Who are you? Why did you lie to me?" Liu Xuan asked sharply.
"Because I love you!" The woman's voice sounded again.
Liu Xuan trembled all over.
"Are you a monster? A goblin?"
The woman giggled and said, "I'm not a monster or a goblin. I'm just your wife and your queen. I don't want you to forget me. Didn't you say that? You will take care of me for the rest of your life."
"My wife?" Liu Xuan was confused for a while, and many pictures appeared in his mind.
He seemed to see an extremely beautiful woman staring at him shyly.
"Who are you?" Liu Xuan said angrily.
"I am your wife!" the woman said, "If you don't know me anymore, you will no longer be a wife and a concubine!"
Liu Xuan frowned: "Who are you?"
"I am Li Guiyuan, have you forgotten?" the woman said, "wasn't it the first time we met in the Imperial Garden?"
Liu Xuan recalled it carefully and seemed to remember something.
When he and the queen were worshiping the late emperor in the imperial mausoleum, they met this woman in the imperial garden. She fell in love with him at first sight and insisted on marrying him.
Although Liu Xuan was bored, he could not refuse because of the emperor's face.
After he married the queen, the woman disappeared.
Liu Xuan thought she had left the capital, but unexpectedly she was hiding in the dark and peeping at him.
After he got married to the queen, he had been living in the palace, rarely going out, and he had no idea what was going on outside.
"It's you! Why are you hiding in the dark and spying on my every move?" Liu Xuan stared at her coldly.
Li Guiyuan smiled and said: "I just wanted to see your reaction. Unexpectedly, I am quite smart!"
"Why are you doing this?" Liu Xuan frowned, his eyes full of disdain, "The emperor is so kind to you, and you betrayed him?"
"You are wrong, I have never loved the emperor!" Li Guiyuan said with a smile, "I am just a humble chess piece!"
"Our marriage is just about using each other. Why do you fall in love with me?" Liu Xuan asked coldly.
Li Guiyuan sighed and said, "Because I love you, that's why I do this."
"Ha..." Liu Xuan sneered, with deep contempt in his eyes, "Do you think I will believe you if you say that?"
Li Guiyuan said calmly: "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Anyway, I love you. If you don't believe it, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
Liu Xuan looked at her and remained silent.
Li Guiyuan continued: "I know that the relationship between us is impossible! But I don't regret falling in love with you."
"You are a madman." Liu Xuan sneered.
Li Guiyuan shook her head and said, "You don't understand. Everyone has the right to choose love."
"Do you think I will let you go if you say this? Not only did you lie to me, but you also deceived my father. Your crime is unforgivable." Liu Xuan said angrily.
"I lied to you, I did lie to you, but I don't regret falling in love with you." Li Guiyuan said, "I also hope that you can forgive me."
Liu Xuan frowned when he heard this.
Li Guiyuan saw this and said softly: "I know you don't love me, but I don't expect you to fall in love with me either, but
