"Your mother and concubine have been thinking about you recently. I heard that she is ill. Please come back to the palace to see me when you have time."
Speaking of his mother-in-law, Zhou Yunyi's heart skipped a beat.
Huang Guifei used this trick every time to tease him. His mother-in-law, titled Chun, was a real little white flower with no scheming and no courage.
What he is best at is keeping things quiet and keeping his head down.
The emperor quite liked her at first, but over time he got tired of her and ignored her.
Fortunately, she got pregnant and gave birth to Zhou Yunyi.
He has a son by his side, and life is pretty good.
Over the years, the queen has done nothing, and the concubine's family has become the dominant one. All the concubines have to act based on her face.
Now Zhou Yunyi has just come out to open the palace. According to the rules of Daliang, the prince must be at least thirty years old before he can take his mother and concubine out of the palace and go to the palace to take care of themselves.
His mother and concubine were being held in someone else's hands, so it was no wonder that he couldn't rest assured.
"During this period, the affairs arranged by my father are important, so I dare not neglect them. I feel deeply guilty for my neglect of my mother and concubine. I will definitely visit my mother and concubine when I have time."
Zhou Yunyi knew clearly that the other party was threatening his mother and concubine, but Zhou Yunyi had nothing to do.
You can only surrender first.
At this point, Concubine Huang also got straight to the point:
"What happened yesterday was really due to your fourth brother's negligence. However, you are brothers and grew up together. Your fourth brother even saved your life when you were young. You should forgive him for his unintentional mistake this time, right? Bar?!"
Zhou Yunyi pulled the corners of her mouth and put on a smiling face, but there was no trace of smile in her eyes:
"That's what the imperial concubine said."
"That's good, that's good. You will assist your fourth brother well in the future, so that your mother and concubine can feel at ease..."
The three of them chatted for a while before Huang Guifei and the others resigned.
Song Heqing came out from behind and looked outside:
"It's not unreasonable for your mother and concubine to be eaten to death."
Zhou Yunyi sat on the chair rather feebly, clenching his hands:
"As a son of a human being, I can only make my mother live in fear every day. It's really..."
"Don't worry about your mother, I will lend her the Golden Cicada Gu for self-defense."
Zhou Yunyi stood up in surprise and saluted Song Heqing:
"Thank you Mr. Liu!"
"Get up, you can defeat that Zhou Yungan as soon as possible, ascend the throne as emperor, and leave him to me."
"But I have no intention of succeeding."
Song Heqing's expression changed, she came up to him and grabbed his collar:
"Are you unwilling or dare not?"
"I……"
Song Heqing's eyes were quite disdainful:
"I don't believe that you, a man, would not be tempted by the throne."
While talking, he stared into the other person's eyes, and the result was clear and pure.
There are really some people who are not interested in imperial power.
9527: "You can't believe it. The world is so big and full of wonders. The reason why Bai Yueguang is Bai Yueguang is because he is really unique."
9527's sudden words gave Song Heqing some rebellious thoughts.
You don’t want to be the one, right? I want you to be the one!
So, he threatened:
"You must be an emperor, and you must be a good emperor, otherwise... I will kill your mother and concubine. You know my methods."
Zhou Yunyi's face turned pale and he could only nod his head.
The assassination of King Yi ended in a hurry.
But Liu Ling'er in the sky prison didn't feel so good.
"Ancestor, please kill me!"
In the dim dungeon, Liu Ling'er's heart-rending scream seemed particularly horrifying.
But the jailers seemed unable to hear him.
On her exposed skin, there seemed to be many things crawling in the purple veins.
It also caused her great pain.
"ah!"
Seeing that the torture was almost over, Song Heqing stepped forward and scratched it with his finger. Black blood flowed from her veins, and a soft and slippery leech emerged from the veins.
It fell into the small bottle prepared by Song Heqing.
There are six such leeches in total.
By the time they were squeezed out of the veins one after another, Liu Ling'er was already covered in sweat, as if she had just been fished out of the river.
"just kill me."
Song Heqing put away the leech and chuckled:
"Want to die? It's not that easy. I will keep your life and enjoy it with your brother Yungan in the future."
When she mentioned her lover, her previous fierceness reappeared, and she gritted her teeth:
"What on earth are you going to do? You can't hurt brother Yungan!"
"You have no say in this."
"By the way, I'll give you something good again."
Song Heqing pinched open her mouth and stuffed a pill inside.
"This is the Great Return Pill, a life-saving holy medicine. After you take it, you won't be able to do it even if you bite your tongue and commit suicide. You will live well and watch the end come!"
9527: "Host, please stop smiling, it's too scary!"
Song Heqing stood up and left here.
Two months later, as expected from the plot, the male and female protagonists are still together.
A grand wedding was held in Prince Jing's Mansion.
Song Heqing also followed Zhou Yunyi to have a meal.
"Hey, His Highness King Yi, who is this?"
At the banquet, many people expressed curiosity about Song Heqing.
I have never seen such an outstanding-looking person beside King Yi on a big occasion before.
What is the situation today?
Faced with looks that were either curious or speculating, Song Heqing answered them all:
"This is my guest."
Seeing that no gossip could be found, everyone stopped thinking.
In the past two months, although the big tree of General Huang was gone, the fourth prince's reputation was stabilized through some manipulations by the concubine who was very scheming.
There is also the halo blessing of the male and female protagonists.
Now the odds of winning or losing between the two princes are almost 50-50.
"Brother Liu, I still have to rely on you to handle the matter later!"
Zhou Yunyi warned him.
"Don't worry, by the way, how is your mother and concubine?"
"Thanks to the protection of your golden cicada Gu, she was saved from the poison. Now I have asked my father to give her a separate small kitchen."
Song Heqing was silent. The old emperor should have known what Huang Guifei was doing, but because of his love for her, he turned a blind eye and allowed her to harm others.
Now, in helping Chun Fei, she is more worried that once Lao Liu succeeds to the throne, she will be liquidated as a noble concubine.
There is love for Chunfei, but not much.
He still loves the imperial concubine more.
The old emperor's condition worsened again, and he couldn't see clearly at all, and he couldn't even take care of himself.
In the past few days, many palace servants had been severely beaten because they did not serve him to his liking.
Even the childless queen in the harem, who fasted and chanted Buddha's name all year round, rarely left the temple where she lived.
Matters in the court were entrusted to the prime minister and several ministers to discuss together.
Everyone understood that the emperor did not have many days left.
It is still unknown who will receive that seat in the future.
Therefore, this wedding is obviously very strange.
None of the elders came.
Huang Guifei's uncle didn't come, and Huang Guifei didn't come either because she was worried that the queen's coming out would ruin her years of plans.
As the father-in-law, Prime Minister Shen also claimed that he was ill because he hated his son-in-law and was extremely disappointed in his daughter.
All in all very embarrassing.
When a newcomer arrives, everyone stands in the aisle and applauds in welcome!
Shen Shuyan felt as sweet as honey today.
She finally got her wish and married him.
She finally became his wife.
Look, so many people are here to witness her happiness.
Just when she passed by Zhou Yunyi, she smelled a familiar fragrance.
All the memories were brought back.
She froze in place.
