Chapter 3289 The Death of Emperor Qi
"How kind was His Highness to me at that time? Except for the two old maids who he used to teach him about ethics in the palace, there was no one who could warm his bed. "
Han Ruyi said quietly, "He told me that he was not in good health and drank too much. He has always been strict about sex."
"And since he got engaged to me, he sent those two old maids out of the palace. How clean is this palace!"
"The first year I entered the palace, he slept in my room every night."
"Even if I was menstruating sometimes, he would never ask a maid to wait on him. He would just rest on the couch outside and talk to me through a curtain at night to relieve my fatigue."
"At that time, I I live in honey every day, feeling that I am really the best married woman among the ladies in the capital!”
“In the past, when I was about to get married, I met Prince Nan! Princess Bingqing of our family often competes with each other openly and secretly,”
“When Princess Bingqing married the second prince Qi Xingchen to be the house-filling wife, I really despised her in my heart,”< br>
“The second prince Qi Xingchen’s original concubine died of illness, leaving behind a pair of children, two concubines in the house, and several aunts who shared the same room,”
"The second prince is an idle prince with the most children in the palace. I once wanted to watch Princess Bingqing's drama and see how difficult it was for her stepmother."
"I was glad that I didn't have these troubles and eyesores. But now, several years have passed,”
“Princess Bingqing has secured her position as the second prince’s concubine, and has given birth to two children. "I am a little grandson who treats the second prince like a guest."
"And what about me? My only daughter died of smallpox when she was less than half a year old. My aunt, the queen, died of illness, and my grandmaster's grandfather had white hair and lost it. He died soon after he was sent to the throne."
"From that time on, His Highness began to gradually neglect me."
"I got pregnant again last year. When I was six months old, I went to the palace to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival for my father."
"I accidentally fell and the baby had a tire."
" Those nasty censors joined me, accusing me of misconduct in front of the palace, saying that the goddaughter of the Imperial Palace was incompetent, and that the eldest prince's husband was weak."
< br>"My father cared about my aunt's old relationship and kept those stories in mind, but since then, His Highness has become less and less interested in seeing me."
"You can rest in my room for one night in a month Even if it’s a kindness, especially in the past year, his health has gradually gotten better.”
"Someone wanted to please him and gave him Zi Yan, the number one courtesan in the capital. Ever since Zi Yan entered the palace, His Highness has been doting on her." The moon comes to my house symbolically several times,"
"But every time it sits and leaves, even if it takes a break, it will not perform the husband-and-wife rituals with me."< br>
"In this way, I have been in the palace for several years, but I have never left. Every time I go to the royal banquet,"
"The second princess, the original Bingqing Princess Association... I have had enough of using words to attack me, and the concubines in the palace who rely on their seniority and father’s favor have also used words to attack me.”
As Han Ruyi said this, the violent anger in his chest rose again, and he punched the soft embroidered pillow beside him with his fist.
The pattern of mandarin ducks crossing their necks on the embroidered pillow is so dazzling and ironic at this time!
Nanny Chen packed her things and came to the bedside.
Looking at the young lady she had raised single-handedly, Grandma Chen ignored the gap between master and servant and leaned down to hug Han Ruyi gently in her arms.
Han Ruyi was startled for a moment, then reached out and hugged Grandma Chen.
Being held by her as quietly as she did when I was a child...
"Mommy, why is my majestic concubine of the Imperial Palace, niece of the late empress, and the most talented woman in the capital, so miserable today?"
Han Ruyi murmured, his eyes a little distracted.
Nanny Chen gently stroked Han Ruyi's back and whispered: "It will be fine, everything will be fine. You are the legitimate daughter of a famous family, you must learn to be patient and patient!"
"Mammy still said the same thing, playthings are playthings after all, no matter how His Highness dotes on Zi Yan to the sky at this moment,"
"For a courtesan of humble origin, she will never be qualified to become the wife of the royal family."
"Even the aunt has no place for her. She will be nothing more than a bed warmer until she dies!" ......
While Han Ruyi and Nanny Chen were relying on each other and cheering each other on in times of trouble, the eldest prince Qi Xingming was really busy.
However, their master and servant really misunderstood Qi Xingming tonight. He was not busy having fun with Zi Yan, but busy reading a secret letter.
"Bang!"
Qi Xingming slapped the secret letter on the table, raised his head, his eyes burning.
"Looking at His Highness looking good, do you think you are happy about this letter?"
The speaker was a middle-aged man with fair face and slight beard sitting under Qi Xingming.
Hearing this, Qi Xingming cast his gaze on the man, his eyes faintly flashing with excitement.
"Mr. Fu, this letter comes from Helanzhou. It is the best news I have heard in the past six months!" Qi Xingming said.
Mr. Fu raised his eyebrows, "I would like to hear the details."
Qi Xingming said: "According to the report of the secret agent placed by my king, my father personally went to Helanzhou to provide disaster relief. Put down the chaos,"
"Luo Fengtang and Muzichuan, both civil and military, acted as the right-hand men of their father."
"In the confrontation with the rebels, Luo Fengtang won seven battles and was extremely brave, winning many places in Helanzhou. The rebellion was put down.”
"And Muzichuan also effectively pacified the local disasters and plagues..."
Hearing this, Mr. Fu's eyes showed a bit of surprise.
The above does not seem to be enough to make His Highness so excited, right?
Mr. Fu smiled slightly and did not intend to listen to Xingming. Instead, he continued to listen patiently.
Sure enough, Qi Xingming changed the topic and said: "My father is really too anxious to show that he loves his people like a son. Not only did he issue an edict to sin against himself, he even issued an edict to eat locusts alive. , apologize to the people in the disaster area.”
"Eating locusts alive?" Mr. Fu's expression changed slightly.
"That thing, I heard it is fried and then supplemented with various expensive seasonings, can barely be regarded as a delicate snack." Mr. Fu shook his head and said.
"But Your Majesty actually eats it raw? The taste... is really a bit strong! Hahaha..."
Qi Xingming raised a sneer at the corner of his lips, waved his hand and said: "That's not the point. The key point in how to eat it is..."
"My father was poisoned after swallowing the raw locusts!"
"Ah?"
Mr. Fu stood up from the stool in shock, his eyes widened and his breathing became rapid.
"Your Highness, is this serious?" he asked tremblingly.
Qi Xingming held up the letter in Yang's hand and said, "It's absolutely true!"
"My father was poisoned seven days ago. According to a letter from a secret agent, the locusts were presented by General Luo Fengtang at that time. Go.”
"After my father swallowed it alive, he felt dizzy after just one bowl of tea."
"All the imperial doctors who were brought there were announced to my father's camp. These imperial doctors were fully present in the camp. I haven't been here for three days. "
"In the past three days, there has been no news about my father in the camp, but there is no airtight wall in the world, and paper cannot contain fire."
“ My people bribed the people guarding the camp and got the unprecedented news that my father died that night after being poisoned!"
"The spies I sent to ensure the accuracy of the news! , it took another two days to finally sneak into the camp where my father was staying, and I saw with my own eyes my father’s dragon body, with no breath at all, and the corners of his lips turned blue. Even Hua Tuo’s reincarnation was helpless!”
