Peach concubine

When Mrs. Xiao walked into the dungeon, she couldn't help but frowned when she saw the extremely harsh environment inside.

Half of the cell was dry, but the other half was submerged in water. The water was stagnant and very cloudy. I don’t know how long it had been hoarded. The color was gray and there was a faint smell coming out.

A figure was tied up with its hands and hung high with iron chains. Most of its body was submerged in the water, with its head down and lifeless.

Mrs. Xiao did not expect to see such a miserable appearance, she sighed lowly, and discussed with the guards at the side: "The imperial concubine wants me to ask him something, can you put him down for the time being?"

"This—" the jailer hesitated for a moment, but hearing that it was the imperial concubine's intention, he still sent someone to release Jian Ruolin.

After being hanged for a long time, when Jian Ruo Lin Fang was put down, she couldn't even stand still, she could only sit down against the corner of the wall, raised her head, her face was bloodless, she looked at Mrs. Xiao, slightly confused.

Mrs. Xiao made a rare condescension and squatted down, and looked him in the eyes: "You have suffered so much, but you still refuse to insult Mo'er. At last, my son is not mistaken."

Jian Ruolin didn't have any strength in her body. Looking at Mrs. Xiao, she managed to pull herself together: "Madam, if you have anything to say, just say it." Just saying such a sentence, as if she had exhausted all her strength, gently gasping.

"Did you know that Mo'er actually admitted to the emperor in person in the palace that he was the only one who hid the dragon robe."

Jian Ruolin was startled, and her eyes were raised—after all these hardships, they were still as clear as stars.

"The emperor doesn't want to convict Mo'er, but for this matter, someone must come forward to bear all the responsibilities. Mo'er is too stupid, and wants to fight all the charges... The emperor is angry at him for defying the holy will, and wants him to contemplate behind closed doors. But he didn't eat or drink, and knelt for a day and a night, begging the emperor to spare you..."

Jian Ruolin held her breath in her chest, and suddenly coughed violently.The environment of the water prison was harsh, and Jian Ruolin was already weak, and was hanged for several days with injuries.He leaned against the wall, bit his chapped lips: "Jing Mo, he..."

"It is impossible for Jing Mo to live happily ever after. He is destined to do something in the future. The emperor has high hopes for him, and will not allow anyone to hinder his footsteps and become his weakness. And among the royal family, , can’t do such unbearable things, and shame the royal family. But Jing Mo is obsessed with his obsession, disobeying the holy will..." Mrs. Xiao stared at him, pressing every word: "Aren't you willing to die to follow Mo'er? Then don't embarrass the emperor and Mo'er anymore..."

Mrs. Xiao's voice echoed far and wide in the empty cell, lingering word by word.

Jian Ruolin lowered her head, a bleak smile appeared on her pale face.

Xiao Jingmo has been kneeling for two days in a row, and before kneeling for three meals, he has not touched any rice. He has not eaten for three days, and he has not even looked at the clear water brought to his mouth by the guards to moisten his throat.Because of hunger and dehydration, fantasies gradually began to appear in front of Xiao Jingmo's eyes, sometimes like snowflakes, sometimes like flames, moving and changing in the field of vision one by one-but he knew that he could not fall down, so whenever he felt dizzy severely When he was walking, he used his nails to dig into the flesh of his palms—now the two palms hanging by his side were covered with tiny wounds, blurred.

Kneeling on the ground for such a long time is really a kind of torture for him, especially Xiao Jingmo, who was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he is used to being careless on weekdays. It was only at this time that he realized that he was still a rich man, and he couldn't bear some hardships. Get over it.

Xiao Jingmo lived in the palace for a period of time when he was a child, and he was often taken care of by Eunuch An, so he was ordered to visit Eunuch An at this moment. Seeing Xiao Jingmo with chapped lips and bloodshot eyes, he inevitably felt distressed, and tried to persuade him Said: "My son, why are you bothering? The power of the sky is unpredictable. Since the emperor has made up his mind, you are going against the emperor now. If you annoy the emperor and anger the old Hou Ye and the old lady, this, this is terrible." How could it be—”

"Listen to the old slave's persuasion, that young master of the Jian family is very serious, if you really like this, you can change to raise a few in the mansion tomorrow..."

Xiao Jingmo originally didn't say a word as if he hadn't heard it, but when he heard this sentence, he whispered in his hoarse voice: "Eunuch An, you don't understand." There are only six words, but his throat is like It is generally painful to tear.

Afterwards, Eunuch An was allowed to say more, and Xiao Jingmo didn't respond any more, he just knelt there with his lips pursed, as if he was already in a stubborn posture.

In the end, Eunuch An could only sigh and shake his head, watching Xiao Jingmo leave with every step.

When returning to the imperial concubine's palace to report to the emperor, Eunuch An secretly sighed "injustice".

"Okay, let's go." The emperor waved his hand, and the eunuchs and maids removed the meals one by one.

Concubine Chen personally poured a cup of hot tea and held it over, calling softly: "Your Majesty, why did you eat so much, but the dishes in the imperial dining room are not to the emperor's liking?" Turning her eyes, she suggested softly: "I There is a small kitchen at the back of the palace, do you want the concubine to make some appetizing snacks for the emperor himself?"

The emperor knew that Concubine Chen was worried about him, so he eased his expression, took hold of Concubine Chen's pair of stalks, and sighed: "Don't worry about it, I really can't eat, just stay here and talk to me. "

Concubine Chen lowered her eyelids slightly, and comforted her in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, just relax."

As soon as the emperor heard this, he thought of Xiao Jingmo, who was as strong as a cow, and couldn't help but raised his hand to rub the center of his brows: "I also want to relieve my heart, but which of my children will give me peace of mind." Put it down. After holding his arm, he said: "That Jian Ruolin is still unwilling to let go, and she doesn't know how the group of people in Dali Temple handle their affairs. And Jing Mo... can't afford to kneel without eating or drinking, it's just going to kill me !"

Concubine Chen's heart seemed to have been hit hard by something. After all, she had always loved Xiao Jingmo, a nephew, and knew the seriousness of it. It was just that there were some things that others couldn't or dare not say. If she kept silent, then this knot In the end, I am afraid that all three losers.Struggling secretly for a while, Imperial Concubine Chen finally raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, you know Jing Mo's temperament. I'm afraid that if you are in a hurry, you will make trouble out of hand. I heard from the people below that Jing Mo has been in a row for three days. I haven't even drank my saliva, if this goes on, I'm worried..."

The emperor's face suddenly pulled down, and he said with a sneer: "What are you worried about? I have favored him for many years, but he should also know that thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king. Why on earth did I ask Jian Ruolin to take the blame? His He also knew it clearly in his heart, but he insisted on confronting me. For a man, he even told me that he was the one who hid the dragon robe. I really don't know what to do, but I want to give him a step down, yes He refuses to go down, can he blame me?"

Seeing the emperor's anger, Imperial Concubine Chen's hands trembled slightly, but she still pretended to be calm, and said bravely, "I have also heard about Jing Mo and Jian Ruolin, forgive me for speaking bluntly. Although Jian Ruolin is hard to get rid of his faults, he is not guilty of death. There are not a few people who have favored male servants throughout the history. Even when I went to the emperor, I once insisted on going my own way to establish a male queen, but even so, I never tarnished the emperor's founding. Opening up territories and creating a peaceful and prosperous world. Although Jing Mo was born in the royal family, he is not a direct relative of the royal family after all. A son of the Marquis of Pingyang, it is no big deal that he is obsessed with cutting off his sleeves in private. The emperor loves Jing Mo so much, How can you bear to persecute him so hard, if there is a slight mistake, Jing Mo will be heartbroken for losing his lover, if this ruins his bright future and free and easy temperament, how can the emperor bear it?!"

The emperor was silent for a while, and then he said after a long time: "Jing Mo has been sensible and obedient since he was a child, but now, he doesn't know how much I have worried about him having a clean reputation. After a hundred years, I also want him to inherit the title , assisting the new emperor to establish an inexhaustible meritorious service. How many pairs of eyes stared at the dignified assistant minister once turned towards Lord Hou, how could he allow him to fall in love with a man?!

I originally thought that if I played the game like before, I would be able to turn a blind eye to some extent, but because of that person who can do almost anything, he completely lost his reason and calmness.He will be a general in the future, so how can he allow such a weakness to be entangled? !I think about everything for him, and I'm willing to go all out to pretend to be a villain, but he doesn't appreciate it at all. It's a waste of my love and affection for him all these years.

Tell me, I want him to stay in the palace and think about his mistakes, but if he has a sliver of repentance and gets rid of this delusion, how can I be so cruel-let him go out of the palace and exile Jian Ruolin, both of them are fine , wouldn't everyone be happy.Is it I who is forcing him now? ! ──It's him who is persecuting me! "

Concubine Chen said softly, "What the emperor likes is not Jing Mo's temperament—he would rather bend than bend, and value love and righteousness."

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the emperor's heart, the emperor could only remain silent.

Just at this time, Eunuch An, who was sent to visit Xiao Jingmo, came back and went inside to bow down and report.

The emperor was still holding his breath and refused to ask questions. Concubine Chen Guifei had followed the emperor for many years, and she knew the emperor's temper well, so she secretly felt it was funny, but she kept her expression on her face and asked for the emperor: "How is that child Jing Mo?"

"Back to the emperor, back to the empress, the slave has already said all the good things, but the son is still kneeling, refusing to eat."

It has been three days, and it is still possible to support without eating, but Xiao Jingmo is so stubborn that he refuses to drink water. Kneeling like this for three days is already the limit for ordinary people. I am afraid that Xiao Jingmo is now at the end of his strength and is just trying to support himself .Concubine Chen was worried, and she couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "Jing Mo, this child, is really..."

As soon as the words fell, a young eunuch hurried over and knelt outside the hall to beg to see him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's terrible, the young master passed out in the room."

The emperor's originally calm eyes finally had a trace of emotional fluctuations. Concubine Chen knew that Xiao Jingmo couldn't delay when she fainted from strength, and the emperor obviously felt a little bit unable to step down at this juncture, so she couldn't control whether she overstepped or not. He ordered sharply: "Hurry up and invite the imperial physician, where is the head of the imperial hospital, Mr. Lu, please hurry up and invite him over!"

The little eunuch obediently replied yes, then hurriedly retreated.

Originally thought that Xiao Jingmo would quit after suffering some hardships, but who would have thought that such an ending would happen.The emperor sat there, as if he had exhausted all his efforts and aged ten years: "He actually refuses to bow his head to me—"

Concubine Chen was also in a hurry: "Your Majesty—now is not the time to worry about Jing Mo's fault. Jing Mo hasn't had a drop of water in these days, and he knelt for three days without sleep, and the iron can't hold it. I don't know if there will be any problems. This child is really suffering..." After finishing speaking, he even took out the Juan Zi, wiping away his tears.

"Okay, okay, don't cry." After all, the emperor loves her, the noble concubine Chen, the most. Seeing her worrying and crying, the emperor's honor is temporarily forgotten, and he stepped forward to put his arms around the noble concubine Chen's thin shoulders: "Follow me Let's go and see Jing Mo together."

Concubine Chen reluctantly held back her tears, and Eunuch An also took orders to go down to prepare for the parade of honor.

Xiao Jingmo was laid flat on the bed at the moment, covered with a thick quilt, but in the eyes of Imperial Concubine Chen, she still felt extremely distressed by her pale face and chapped lips, and she couldn't help but shed a few more tears. Juanzi came to have a look and wipe it off.

But the emperor waited in the lobby outside the house, and only came to report after the imperial physician had diagnosed the pulse and prescribed a prescription.

"How is the son?"

The old imperial doctor knelt down tremblingly: "My Majesty, the son is just exhausted and weak, and he fainted due to a low-grade fever caused by a cold infection. Fortunately, the son is still young and his foundation is good. He just needs to take care of himself for a while, and there will be no serious problems for the time being." I'm in the way."

Concubine Chen came out following the old doctor, the tears in the corners of her eyes were still wet: "Your Majesty, my concubine has something to say, and I have never dared to ask the emperor for fear of offending the holy face, but now that Jing Mo has made this look, if my concubine still shrinks I dare not speak, I am afraid that my heart will be uneasy."

"you say!"

"Your Majesty, you want Jian Ruolin to make amends because you don't want to come to Jingmo's side. There is a hidden danger that can destroy him at any time. You don't want to go astray and indulge in masculinity, but your majesty..." Concubine Chen Guifei said that she had already Not afraid of offending Long Wei: "In case Jian Ruolin makes a mistake, how can the emperor be sure that Jing Mo will not go with him?"

The emperor was shocked: "Could it be that Jing Mo will seek death? I have taught him for so many years that as a son of the royal family, as a man, he has to abandon all kinship responsibilities and do unfilial and unwise things?"

"Jing Mo is willing to bear the guilt of hiding the dragon robe, but he is not afraid to die for Jian Ruolin. He knelt and begged for three days, never eating, drinking or sleeping. He just didn't care about himself and the consequences——Jing Mo may be a young man with a short-tempered temper Xing, after all, the sacred will cannot be violated, and Jing Mo had to compromise under heavy pressure. Anyway, he is only a man, and Jing Mo can’t be against the emperor for him—is that what the emperor thinks? The same is true for the concubine at the beginning I thought it might be, Your Majesty, do you think that Jing Mo is just a momentary passion now? The Emperor loves Jing Mo, and his concubines understand, but things will turn against each other, if the Emperor makes a wrong step, I’m afraid it will be too late for regret.”

The emperor's heart sank, but he couldn't refute it. What Concubine Chen said was really reasonable.

"However, do you want everyone in the world to know that the young master of the Pingyang family is a man in love with men, and if such unethical things are spread, it will make people laugh and insult my royal family's reputation!"

"Your Majesty---" Concubine Chen was anxious in her heart, and cried out in pain: "Do you have to force Jing Mo to death to be reconciled?"

If it weren't for Concubine Chen's grace and favor, the emperor would really feel that he was at a loss. Just because of Concubine Chen's disgrace in front of the emperor, he could have deposed her title and demoted her to the cold palace. However, Concubine Chen is in a hurry and can't care other.

"Jing Mo is your most beloved child, have you forgotten?"

In a word, the emperor brought back infinite memories—that night, the night was as cold as water, he and her met under the moon, he was drunk, half drunk and half awake, and spent the night with her lingering.After waking up, he made a big mistake. Looking at the woman who was crying softly, he sighed and was speechless.When the youngest son of the Pingyang family was born, the whole capital was jubilant, and he came to Pingyang Marquis Mansion to congratulate him in person, and the emperor's favor was overwhelming.At that time, he looked at the little baby in the swaddle, was overjoyed, and bestowed the name Jing Mo.For more than ten years, the grace has not faded.

What he wants is that Xiao Jingmo's net worth is clean, what he wants is that he has nothing to fetter, but it's not that he wants... to drive him to a dead end.

There will never be a moment when he will hate himself as an emperor, but he can't give the most legitimate love to his beloved child like he is now.The emperor put his hands on his knees, secretly fighting.

A young eunuch walked up to Eunuch An and reported something in a low voice, Eunuch An hesitated for a moment, but went forward: "Your Majesty, news just came from Dali Temple, saying that Mrs. Xiao went to visit Jian Ruolin. Later, when he was interrogated again, Jian Ruolin suddenly opened his mouth and admitted that he secretly hid the dragon robe out of curiosity..."

The emperor pondered, it was he who instructed Concubine Chen to reveal Xiao Jingmo's news to Mrs. Xiao, that's right, it was he who secretly conveyed the meaning of letting Mrs. Xiao persuade Jian Ruolin, but he didn't expect that Jian Ruolin would not be punished in the first place. Ken let go, but he was willing to bear all the crimes for Xiao Jingmo.

──He and Xiao Jingmo really have the same heart and mind.

After thinking about it for a long time, finally, he said lightly: "I will pass on my will, promulgate the Jane Ruolin, and see you in the palace."
