Wishing You Eternal Happiness - Chapter 70

Pei Youan followed the footprints of the snowy ground and chased the back mountain in one breath. He saw that the black figure in front took advantage of the momentum and was climbing the gable wall with a height of more than ten feet. His body was like a spider, and he was extremely flexible.

Outside the gable, there is Lao Lin. Once he escapes, in such a snowy night, I am afraid that it will be hard to find a trace.

Pei Youan didn’t stop, and struggling forward to throw the long sword in his hand. The long sword was like a snake, piercing the air, and chased after the black shadow. It was when the man climbed up the wall, and waited to get out of the wall. At that time, the tip of the sword chased and inserted his back shoulder, and the figure paused and fell to the ground from the top of the wall.

A guard rushed up, seeing the man struggling to get up from the ground, still trying to flee again. When he went up, he restrained him on the ground. Pei Youan quickly stepped to the front, leaned down, and quickly pinched the man’s jaw with a hair between his fingers. Li, accompanied by a slight “click”, the man screamed, his entire chin dislocated, and a bitten wax pill rolled out of his mouth.

…

After the palace went to bed, Zhou stayed up all night.

Today, when there is an early morning, the emperor still has not returned.

There was no news from her people.

This was the second time Xiao Lie went out of the palace in secret late at night since the night of the prince’s wedding.

The Zhou family had already determined that the place Xiao Lie went that night must be the place in the Ci’en Temple.

She can also infer that the emperor will go out of the palace again tonight, and in all likelihood, it will still be the same place as the previous time.

She was not ignorant of sending someone to watch the emperor’s trail, in case the consequences were revealed, but she could not suppress this desire of her own.

The royal daughter of Korea and Annan will soon be incorporated into the harem and be established as a concubine. Not only that, after the beginning of the spring, the Ministry of Ritual and Clan House will also host the selection of show girls, and this harem will continue to fill.

Zhou knew that this was no longer the Wuding Prince’s Mansion, and that the situation of his own husband alone for more than two decades would never return. By the emperor’s side, there will soon be a woman younger and more beautiful than her. From now on, even though she still rules the harem and is in a high position, only she herself understands what it feels like.

But if it was just that, that was all, Zhou would never be so confused that he would take risks because of the emperor’s acceptance of the harem.

For many years, her heart disease under suspicion caused her to smell an unusually dangerous aura from the emperor’s uncommon move to expand the harem.

First, the prince concubine uttered absurdity and caused an accident, and then, although it narrowly passed, the prince and the prince have obviously seen evil in Xiao Lie since then. One wave was not settled, another wave started again, and his brother’s methods were too aggressive and failed to claim the credit. The Zhou family who made him feel ashamed, and once again affected the prince.

In fact, at the beginning of Xiao Lie’s accession to the throne, those ministers of the Ministry of Ritual who had eaten and had nothing to do were quoted from the scriptures and suggested that the emperor should expand the harem. But at that time, Xiao Lie sent it back on the grounds of undecided state affairs and unintentional harem.

At this time, the emperor’s opening of the harem by accepting words could never be as simple as what he saw on the surface.

If the emperor was only dissatisfied before, then at this moment, perhaps the real beginning of the prince’s danger.

Xiao Lie is in his prime, and he still has time. If he changes his mind, who can stop him in this world?

From that year, from the day he brought 16-year-old Pei Youan to Wuding, Xu was out of a woman’s intuition, and Zhou felt that Xiao Lie was unusual for this so-called “old friend”.

And the root of all this may be in the courtyard of Ci’en Temple.

Now, even for her son, she had to figure out everything about the emperor.

In order to ensure that there is no accident, she was extremely careful, not even the prince knew about it. The person she sent was also a guard that she had secretly used since the time of Wu. She is very sure.

Zhou lay in his clothes, and finally went to sleep dimly. Suddenly he was awakened by a nightmare, but he woke up and found that the sky was dimly light. He hurriedly summoned Madam Lin to ask questions. Entering, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall.

The footsteps were heavy and unusually heavy, and they stomped on the ground loudly, and the sound got closer and closer, seemingly irritated, shaking ear drums.

In this palace, who else would walk like this?

Zhou’s heartbeat speeded up suddenly, and he crawled down the phoenix bed quickly, and only a few steps out, he saw the palacemen in front of the palace kneeling on the ground, and the tent fell suddenly and was lifted. , Accompanied by the slight impact of the golden hook falling to the ground, Xiao Lie’s figure appeared in front of Zhou’s.

Zhou suddenly stopped, and at the two gloomy eyes cast by Xiao Lie, his heart sank quickly, but he settled down, and smiled reluctantly: “Long live if you don’t go to the early court, what’s the matter here?”

Xiao Lie said coldly: “You are so courageous, how dare you send someone to spy on me! Immediately, you will move out of Kunning Palace and move to Beiyuan. Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave in half a step!”

After Xiao Lie finished speaking, he turned and strode away. Cui Yinshui led a few strong eunuchs and bowed to the Zhou family and said: “Niangniang, long live the decree, the slaves have to follow, please leave the palace, and the slaves will **** the women to Beiyuan.”

Beiyuan is hundreds of miles away from the imperial city. There is a royal mausoleum nearby. It was originally built by the founding father of the Taizu. Although the forbidden garden occupies a large area, the palaces are simple and simple. In January, to commemorate the ancestors. After Taizu left, this system was gradually abolished, and Beiyuan became increasingly desolate. Twenty years ago, Emperor Tianxi moved there to avoid the plague that swept the city and lived there for nearly a year. Now Beiyuan is like a cold palace.

Zhou’s hands and feet were cold, and his face was instantly pale. Looking at the emperor’s leaving back, he suddenly yelled, pushed Cui Yinshui away, followed up a few steps, and grabbed the emperor’s sleeves.

“Wang live’s remarks are there evidence? Concubine does not know what wrong made! What is spying on the whereabouts of Long live? Concubine is framed! Concubine is not afraid of confrontation!”

Xiao Lie turned his head and stared at the Zhou Clan, and squinted his eyes: “Don’t say that I have found out, but there is no livelihood. Apart from you in the palace, who else knows that I went out last night?”

He nodded and sneered: “Now that the Great Harem, you and the East Palace are the largest, it is not you, very good, then it must be for the East Palace. If you want to stay, keep it for yourself, this is what I call it. People go to try the prince!”

Xiao Lie pulled back his sleeves and pulled his legs away. Zhou fell to the ground, reached out his hand to grab the emperor’s legs and feet again, and lost his voice: “Long live, this matter has nothing to do with the prince! It is the concubine’s fault! It is the concubine’s fault! I should be confused for a while and made a mistake. I beg Long live to see your concubine’s kindness in serving you for more than 20 years, and spare my concubine this time!”

The emperor gritted his teeth and said: “Just this one, I will be enough to abolish your queen position! Your post position, I will not move, but from now on, you will give me the past so that I can be healthy and healed. Meet!”

Xiao Lie pulled out his leg that was grabbed by the queen, angrily, and moved on again.

Zhou cried: “Long live! When the first emperor died, your eldest brother was jealous of you. At the beginning of his ascension, he trapped you in Wuding. In the second year of Tianxi, you left the country privately without telling your concubine where to go. He didn’t return for half a year. If the concubine had not concealed everything for you at that time, could you have today?”

Xiao Lie said angrily: “You were the prince protector, in the name of Witch Gu, you used to deceive the emperor together. Are you really confused and let me be at your mercy? At that time, I only cared about the love of blood relatives for 20 years. You have changed it! I don’t want you to be ignorant! Today, I still miss the hair that year, and this is the last to save your face! No need to say it, you just go, and from now on, you don’t have to go back to the palace again!”

Xiao Lie strode away.

Zhou lay on the ground, staring at the emperor’s leaving back, tears streaming down.

Cui Yinshui waited for a while, winking at the eunuch, and the two eunuchs stepped forward, one on the left and the other, kneeling down, trying to set Zhou from the ground, and said: “The mother, forgive the sins, and the servants are also acting on errands. It’s no wonder the empress, it’s better to go over quickly, lest long live the anger…”

Zhou raised his hand and made a few “pops”. The eunuchs slapped each on his face. After slapped the people, he supported himself, slowly got up from the ground, wiped away the tears on his face, and stared coldly at Cui Yinshui. At a glance, he said: “No matter how bad this palace is, it’s still the queen of Wei! This palace can walk by itself, so how can you allow you lowly slaves to do it?”

Cui Yinshui slapped himself with a slap in the face and bent over and said: “The slave and maid are guilty, and the slave punishes herself! How can the slave and maid be slow to treat the maid? The maid is willing to move to the palace by herself. It is great. The slave and maid are grateful.” Speaking straight up, she cold her face, and shouted outside: “What are you doing on your knees? Long live there is a purpose. The empress empress is feeling the drought in various provinces this year, and the people’s livelihood is difficult, so she voluntarily moved to Xiyuan Mausoleum to pray for blessings. Get up, prepare the empress to move the palace?”

The palace people on the ground got up one after another like bereaved concubines, Zhou’s face was pale, turned his head, looked back at this palace that had not been staying in for a long time, and finally took a step forward.

She walked out of Kunning Gate and saw the prince leading the princess. The two knelt by the road to see her off.

She cast her gaze on the prince, staring at her, unable to speak, but at this moment, she believed that her son would be able to understand.

When she was careless and offended the emperor, she was expelled from the central palace and sent to Xiyuan.

The emperor today is no longer the king of clouds in Wuding. He is unpredictable and ruthless.

Just now, when she heard the unfeeling words about sending herself to Xiyuan from his mouth, for a moment, she could hardly bear the resentment and unwillingness that had been in her heart for more than 20 years. , Is about to blurt out.

But she finally swallowed it forcibly. Everything is for the prince.

Now she wants her son to be more forbearing, at least, when she is still unable to confront the Lord of the World, she must not lose her breath.

When Emperor Tianxi was married, the young Xiao Lie also respected the decree of the first emperor, married her as his wife, and gave birth to a son with her. In the past twenty years, even though there was no other woman beside him, Zhou knew that this man had a heart of stone, he had never loved himself, and would never be moved by her tears. This time he sent her away, and soon a newcomer will enter the palace. If she does not have a son, she might never return to the palace of the middle palace again in her life.

Fortunately, there is a prince.

Sooner or later, she will definitely return, walk past the north main gate of the central palace, and get back everything that originally belonged to her today.

She stared at the prince like this, step by step, passing in front of him.

It is a pity that, sadly, fate is often tricked by others. It gives people hope, and in the end, it is often just to make people more and more deeply aware of the doubling of the pain of the shattered hope.

Zhou’s at this moment, she didn’t know that this was indeed the last time she had walked through Kunning Gate.

…

Xiao Yintang stared at the back of his mother’s gradual departure, his eyes gloomy, his shoulders moved slightly, and he was about to get up from the ground, but Zhang Fengtong, who was beside him, pressed his hand.

“Don’t be impulsive! The queen mother is no longer guaranteed. You will go to Long live to speak for her again. Long live will not listen. You may be angry with you. Fortunately, the queen mother is still behind. Move, concubine, this should also be the wish of the mother’s queen.”

Zhang Fengtong said in a low voice, quickly and authentically.

Xiao Yintang stared at her, put aside his hands, got up from the ground, turned straight, and headed towards the East Palace.

…

On that day, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all surprised to learn that the queen moved to Xiyuan to pray for the people. The Ministry of Etiquette issued a list of documents. The officials secretly discussed it in private, and after trying to figure it out, although they were still unclear, but they also knew vaguely that after Zhou Jin, Zhouhou was completely incompatible with the emperor.

In front of Zhou’s house, everyone evaded. Zhang Jiaxu is injurious to others, and Zhang Lao has not been able to get sick for a few days. Under the quiet court, the invisible undercurrent surging silently.

The Pei family’s big room has been rioting these few days.

Zhouhou was named Qiangong for blessing. Who didn’t know, the emperor couldn’t tolerate her anymore. Moved her, it was nothing more than ugly to the prince. I heard that there would be a bride in the palace soon. What would happen in the future is really unpredictable.

Mrs. Xin regretted letting her son marry Zhou Jiao’e at the beginning, but the raw rice became cooked rice. Now she can only admit that she is unlucky. Even though she still dares not to show off against Zhou Jiao’e, she no longer forbears her before. It’s ugly, and Pei Xiuzhi has no patience. Zhou Jiao’e is holding her belly to threaten her and it doesn’t work. In the name of raising a fetus, Zhou Jiao’e was not allowed to leave the hospital at will. Zhou Jiao’e also seemed to finally realize that her backstage had suddenly gone for the most part, thinking about relying on her son in the belly in the future, she also gradually converged, began to have a baby, and the family finally calmed down.

At the end of this year, it passed so hastily.

In the spring, these days, Jiafu began to pack up.

Just a few months ago, Meng, who returned to Quanzhou, sent a letter. In the letter, he mentioned that his grandmother Hu contracted wind and heat in the late summer. Although he recovered from the illness later, after the fall, The body bones looked a little weaker. At that time, the old lady at Pei’s family was also very ill, and Jiafu was helpless, so she could only reply to a letter and sent some medicinal materials along with the letter to show her filial piety. Now that the New Year has passed, Pei Youan is worried at home, and finally there is nothing wrong with him. He has returned to filial piety. He learned that Hu’s health is not as good as before. A few days ago, he took the initiative to accompany Jiafu back to Quanzhou to visit relatives in Quanzhou in the spring.

In a few days, Quanzhou in March, inside and outside the city, is full of Erythrina, which is hard to see in the capital. Jiafu has a lot of affection for the place where she was born and raised herself. At the end of last year, she had such thoughts in her heart. He was just a filial piety. In the past few months, Pei Youan has been in the study despite being closed to thank guests. Here, she may hold scrolls, paint, or teach her to read books. It seems to live a leisurely life, but Jiafu felt that he always had his own thoughts, and she could not tell if he never revealed it in front of her. I kept pressing on my heart, but I didn’t expect that he would see it out and offered to accompany her back to Quanzhou.

Jiafu was happy, packed up things early, chose a good day, looking forward to the day and night, and finally arrived at the day of departure, the wind was sunny, and Pei Youan, together with Pei Youan, bid farewell to Mrs. Xin, Jiafu took the sandalwood with Madam Liu. Xiang and others, Pei Youan accompanied Yang Yun and a few other entourages, a dozen people in total, arrived at the pier, boarded the big boat, and sailed south against the southerly wind that had already brought a bit of turbulence on the face.
