Chapter 171: Fendai's pen outlines the deep grievances of the palace
"I just accidentally let it go. Sister, don't be angry. Look, Concubine Shu is still smiling."
The candlelight stood quietly on the round table, in the room with a swaying fire, and the middle hall surrounded by wooden carved railings. The younger figure pulled the woman with a somewhat depressed face like a coquettish look. On the other side, there was a faint smile on her face. She pulled her back and sat down, and whispered: "It's big or small, be careful to let Your Majesty see it, and you want to slap your spank."
The few people are pretty good now. They returned to the palace to stay in the palace earlier. They often forgot that they were in the palace. When they got together, Bina had no rules and joked, as if they were back to the courtyard of Guangdefang. Later, the emperor returned to the court and the girls woke up, and then they restrained themselves a lot.
It’s just that I do this occasionally. I don’t have to correct my behavior in one or two months.
Therefore, he was scolded by Concubine Shu. The young woman who said she was not talking about the words had not changed. "If you want to hit her, just hit her. It's best to go to the bed, hehe... I won't be afraid."
"Su Rong, don't be too much. There are palace maids and eunuchs outside. When I and Meiren Qin will go back to the pavilion later, don't be too excited and talk nonsense."
Concubine Shu glanced at her, but there was a smile on her lips. She didn't mean to blame her too much. Instead, she told her not to be too out of style and cause her to suspicion.
She lived in the house together for two years and broke away from the palace fighting for favor in the palace. More than 20 sisters were faced with the friendship of being arrested and imprisoned by thieves or tragically killed, and united, so that she could cherish it.
Not only did she think so, but during the time she returned to the palace, the sisters often visited each other, and probably the same thoughts were also true.
Over there, the younger concubine, who was only seventeen years old, leaned on the table and supported her chin, shaking her head with a smile.
"I know, I'm not ignorant of the importance. Besides, Your Majesty is here to visit a sister overnight. It's my turn. It's the end of the month. I won't..."
Bang!
The door suddenly made a loud noise, interrupting the female voice talking in the room. The candlelight standing on the round table swayed suddenly. The three women in front of the table were so shocked that they got up from the stool and looked back.
The door was moving slowly without resting its strength. A figure stood at the door. In the light of the lantern under the eaves, the golden dragons wandered in the brocade and silk on the robe. Under the crown, the face of the young and majestic intertwined seemed to be covered with frost. He looked at the three concubines coldly, and there were palace maids and eunuchs kneeling around his feet.
"His Majesty......"
In the room, the three girls stood together with pale faces and tremblingly. Seeing the emperor's face, they thought that Li Yan had heard what they said just now.
"Husband...I thought it was the three beloved concubines who called me..."
Li Yan's hands behind his back were shaking slightly, and his voice was trembling slightly, and his voice was trembling. He stepped across the threshold and went in, looking at the three women in luxurious dresses with beautiful faces and figures. Thinking of these made him feel like his heart was about to burst.
"...Okay...My three concubines are so good... It turns out that the word "husband" is called someone else's."
"Your Majesty, please listen to me for your explanation."
Shufei knew that if she didn't explain, she would be confirmed. She quickly raised her face. Before she could finish her words, Li Yan raised her feet and kicked her back, and fell heavily at the foot of the table. Her bun was spread out and she hanged on her face and shoulders in a mess.
The younger woman rushed over to help Concubine Shu up and screamed at Li Yan: "Your Majesty!" Without the eccentric skin, she knelt down in tremblingly, blocked in the middle, leaned over and kowtowed, and her forehead touched the floor and thudded.
The voice was crying and kept shouting: "Your Majesty, listen to me first... I listen to me to my explanation, it's not like that."
"What else can I explain!"
After all, Li Yan was over 10 years old. He was excited and directly interrupted the concubine's words. He raised his hand and pointed at them. He glared and groaned: "I have not been here for two years, so you can't control the hole below. After I returned to the palace, I felt strange. I have not been here for two years. How can you live? Then Huang Chao can't lift the crotch of the pants? Thinking about it now, you are waiting to be happy outside the palace. If I hadn't come back, you wouldn't have known to return to the palace at all!"
"You three...not only? Let me think about it, who else..."
The emperor gave the three girls a hint of her sleeves. As she walked back and forth, she also attracted Tian Lingzi outside the door. She looked so sank that she almost squeezed out the water. She walked to the position of the other party's shoulders. She looked at the palace maid and eunuch kneeling outside the door, "Go and bring all the concubines who returned to the palace with them that day, and bring them downstairs! I want to interrogate them one by one!"
Turning around, he looked at the three girls and raised his hand: "Take them down too!"
The guards outside the door looked at each other, sighed in a low voice, walked into the room and held up the three women kneeling on the ground without saying a word, and pushed them downstairs.
On the way, the three women were still shouting, but Li Yan ignored it and closed his eyes and bit his cheeks. What he said before was not unreasonable. In that case, more than 20 women could save their lives besides selling their appearance, would there be other ways to survive? Even though he was hiding in a house in the city, he still doubted that he would just return to the court and first put the important matter of rewards, and then send someone to investigate in detail if he had time.
But now I heard that if he could still suppress the fire, he would be considered a man? The emperor's concubine is called another man's husband, where is the majesty of the emperor?
......If you ask who that person is, Dingyi you three tribes!
The candlelight shook slightly in the wind, and Li Yan sat on the stool with cold eyes for a while. It was not until Tian Lingzi's voice sounded outside that he came to his senses.
"Your Majesty, the concubines are brought here."
"Um."
On the other side, the emperor responded softly, and pushed his fist against the table and then barely got up. He walked out the door steadily. His eyes touched the light of a long list of forbidden palace guards. Several rows of women's figures knelt on the ground in the light of the torch of the forbidden palace guards. He sighed softly.
"A great companion... It's hard to be a man, and it's even harder to be an emperor... My twenty-five women are actually having an affair with others, haha... I am the most powerful person in the world. Who can make these concubines crawl onto each other's bed?"
Tian Lingzi's eyelids were pounding wildly. At this time, he did not dare to respond casually.
In front, Li Yan pressed the fence and patted hard: "Let's go, follow me and ask clearly!"
While the two went downstairs one by one, Li Huan, the Princess Guangde who was taken to the palace by the emperor, heard the news and rushed over. There was Jiuyu who was accompanying her.
"How did Your Majesty know?"
"I heard from the news below that the little yellow party said that it was Wang Cairen and Concubine Shu. Qin Meiren was joking and accidentally let her say that she missed her mouth. It happened to be heard by the Your Majesty who came to Mudan Road."
"idiot!"
Geng Qing repeatedly warned her when she returned to the palace, and she repeatedly reminded her that even if she had brought things to such a level, how could she not get angry? Although it was no big deal to explain this matter, no one can guarantee that Li Yan would not have any knots in her heart.
Princess Guangde cursed again, and her feet quickly passed through the winding small stone bridge on the pool. After passing a crescent door in front, there were fires. Three rows of kneeling figures reflected in her vision, and the crying voice became clear in her ears.
On the other side, the sharp-eyed eunuch saw Princess Guangde who was rushing to come and hurriedly greeted the emperor who went downstairs, "Your Majesty, Princess Guangde is here."
"The emperor's aunt is not responsible for it when she comes. I have to ask the truth today!"
Li Yan glanced at the lanterns on the ground and the woman who led the people over, went down the last wooden ladder and strode to the kneeling concubines on the ground.
"I heard that I have been away for two years and have been living a comfortable life. I wonder which man made you feel comfortable? Can you tell me? I can also praise you."
Below, the girls just sobbed in a low voice, and some were so scared by the sudden change that they dared not speak.
"Are you deaf?"
Seeing that no one answered, the fire in Li Yan felt like it was blowing oil. He suddenly rushed up and couldn't suppress it. He stepped forward two steps and kicked a woman near to the ground. He kicked her again on the other party's abdomen. The woman's body was arched into a shrimp shape, crying miserably.
"His Majesty!!"
Princess Guangde's voice came, which made Li Yan stop and waved his hand to the woman who came straight over: "Don't care about this, my concubines are in need of discipline, I want to practice the law!"
After saying that, he turned around and raised his foot and kicked the concubine's face. The bruises and blood immediately spread on her face. He screamed in a shrill way and fainted.
The younger Wang Cairen, who had been the youngest, wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth and rushed over to drag the concubine back. The emperor kicked her shoulder and fell with the fainting woman.
"Li Yan, stop!"
Princess Guangde had already come over. She paused heavily on the ground with a crutch and shouted loudly: "If Your Majesty attacks them again, I will use this crutch to teach you for your father!"
"Auntie!"
Li Yan turned around with a fierce look on his face and roared at the woman sternly: "Don't you ask them why I'm so serious? How can I bear it when they call someone else's husband! This makes me feel heartbroken than the yellow thief who lives in this palace! I feel heartbroken!"
Princess Guangde looked at him, pursed her lips, took a few breaths, raised her hand and pointed at herself, and calmed her tone.
"Auntie knows, yes, come and ask your aunt and let them all go back first."
However, what answered her was Li Yan's hysterical voice.
"No!"
"Okay, my aunt tells you!!"
Just as Princess Guangde said this, a chuckle suddenly came from the concubines kneeling over there. Emperor Li Yan wanted to speak. Hearing the laughter, his face became even more angry. He even dared to laugh. He looked over his gaze. Wang Cairen, who had been kicked to the ground before, covered his thin shoulders and stood up shakingly.
Her hair was messy, her gums were bleeding from her mouth, tears flowed down her eyes, and her eyes contained the color of disappointment for a person.
He choked softly and spoke slowly.
"Your Highness, why tell him......What the emperor... But a coward, I don't like cowards, I like tough guys, what's wrong?!"
"You are so handsome! Your family is a famous family, how can you say this?!" Li Yan's face turned red, and he pointed to the woman who was only tall with his shoulders and scolded him, "Don't lose all your face, lose all my face! The person who comes, give her to me..."
Before he could finish speaking, the shaking woman laughed, and the laughter gradually rose.
hehe......
Hahaha!
Her eyes were wet and red, and the man she had always respected was like a mad dog barking, and her chest was shaking slightly when she smiled.
"A famous family... Your Majesty, my family has long been gone. The court cannot defend Chang'an. When the thief entered the city, my family was killed... Even the dog raised since childhood was slaughtered and eaten meat... The family is gone, how can I still care about shame... When it comes to shame, the millions of troops in the Tang Dynasty could not even stop a bunch of thieves. Your Majesty secretly left the people and my wives and concubines, and ran to Shu. What about your face? The civil and military officials who praise the city are thrown away. If they don't go, they will ask them if they are embarrassed, but they will question me a woman with fangs and claws... Your Majesty is thinking about saving his life shamelessly. Why can't we--"
The fig leaf that was so strongly covered was torn apart by a woman blocking so many people. The surroundings were silent, and even the sobs stopped.
"I killed you-"
Li Yan's eyes were red, he held the hilt of the sword at his waist tightly, and pulled out the sword madly. There was also "Your Majesty!" and "Stop!" around him, with a "clang" sound, he pulled out the cold light and slashed it with a sword.
The torch suddenly swayed, and in an instant, blood splattered from her fair neck, and her soft body fell down in the flames. Blood slowly flowed out, reflecting a scarlet red.
The smell of blood filled the rest of the concubines kneeled there, staring at the corpse on the ground in a daze.
Jiuyu's face was cold, and he just raised his hand to wipe away a drop of blood from his face, but his eyes were straight at Wang Cairen who was still talking just now. Those words seemed to have whispered in his heart.
"Your Majesty, you have done too much!" In front of him, Princess Guangde's chest was undulating violently. These concubines were hospitalized with her for two years. A talented man of only seventeen years of age, who was only 17 years old, was active and polite. He would come to pay her respects every day, but now he turned into a corpse, which made her unable to accept for a while.
He was a little dazed, but he still clenched his teeth and almost roared out.
"Your Majesty doesn't believe in them, even if you don't believe in old age, you don't believe in Gu Changshi who has been entrusted with death, and even more so, Geng Qing, who was almost discovered by the yellow thief because of his fists, was clutching his concubine!"
Over there, a concubine who went to hug the body burst into tears, "It's Geng Qing... But in that environment, only by saying that it was his woman can you get out of the hands of the thief, but I have never had anything to do with him, and they are all innocent."
"Catch them down and hand them over to Dali Temple!"
Li Yan couldn't listen at all at the moment, so he threw the long sword that was still throwing blood in his hand, raised his hand to call the guards, and took the concubines away. At this time, no woman begged him, but just sobbed in a low voice to look at the sister lying in the pool of blood, and followed the guards away without looking back.
‘They don’t even look at me…’
The emperor pursed his lips and looked at the concubines who were leaving, his voice was cold: "Take my aunt back to rest." After saying that, he asked Ueta Lingzi to leave. On the way, he felt emotional after a long time on his face. He said as he walked, "Geng Qing is not wrong, the emperor's aunt is not wrong, and my beloved concubines are not wrong. Only I did something wrong, but the thing has happened. I can't admit my mistake in front of so many people. I have lost my face for a while, so I can't lose it again!"
"What Your Majesty said is that the emperor cannot be offended, so how can Geng Qing deal with it?" This was the first time that Tian Lingzi had been involved in something after returning to the court. He knew that if he regained control of the court, he would come step by step.
Li Yan stopped and looked at the ripples floating in the pool.
"Geng Qing has great achievements, but his qualifications and prestige are too shallow, and he is young, so he is difficult to convince the public. After a while, he will find an excuse to demote him to the next level, become a minister, or a Hanlin scholar, or a thrifty cavalry, and read more, just like Yu's concubine, and become a serene official."
