Reborn as the beloved of the crippled king

Chapter 417 In the end, he’s just a substitute

"I know you hate me."

Concubine Jing looked up at Master Mei and said in a sad tone: "If God gives me a chance to come back, I will never fail you again, but there is no regret medicine in life. Now that I see you again, I only hope to be forgiven by you."

"Forgiveness from the common people?"

Mei Yuzong smiled bitterly and said: "If it can make the queen feel at ease, the grass people will not let the queen down. Besides, it has been too long, and the grass people have already given up."

Concubine Jing thought to herself that he was lying. If he really let it go, how could he keep that square handkerchief? If you really let go, why would you come here specifically to see her?

But when he said this, Concubine Jing felt relieved.

She did feel guilty towards Mei Yuzong, but after all, so many years had passed, and no matter how deep her hatred was, it would have been lost to time.

To meet each other in the palace after so many years, doesn't it mean that the two of them are destined and their fate is still intact?

Concubine Jing looked at him and lowered her voice and said: "I have obtained all the glory and wealth I ever wanted. Compared to Your Majesty, you and I are still young. You should also have heard of the Third Prince. In the future, he will sit in that position. "

Mei Yuzong looked shocked: "How could the empress say this to the common people?"

"Yulang, I was the one who couldn't forgive you in the first place. As long as you are willing, I will make it up to you."

After Concubine Jing finished speaking, she glanced into the distance. Su Jin was coming over with a cloak.

"Grassman..."

Concubine Jing interrupted: "Yulang, you will come to sing for me, right?"

"But Cao Min's voice is ruined and he can no longer sing."

Concubine Jing suddenly recalled that Mei Yuzong's throat problem seemed to have been caused by her. It had been so long that she almost forgot, and she didn't mean it at the time.

But Concubine Jing felt that her voice was not important. At Mei Yuzong's age and as the leader of the class, she did not need to go on stage. What she wanted to see was him as a person, not to actually hear him sing.

"I will invite your troupe to come to my palace to sing operas. Yulang, please go. Don't walk alone in the palace in the future. Your Majesty is suspicious. If you are caught by the guards, you will die."

After saying that, Concubine Jing walked out of the rockery and walked towards Su Jin.

She asked Su Jin to put on the cloak for her, and then left, only looking back pretending to be casual.

She still saw a piece of clothes, Mei Yuzong watching her leave, just like many years ago, no matter where she went, Mei Yuzong would look at her tenderly until she disappeared from sight.

Yu Lang has not changed.

"Your Majesty, you seem to be in a good mood." Aunt Sujin observed her words and said flatteringly.

"I just thought of the Third Prince."

"The third prince will definitely win the dragon boat race today, and good news may come back soon!"

Concubine Jing smiled and nodded, feeling quite proud of herself.

In the rockery, Mei Yuzong watched Concubine Jing leave, then touched his throat with a sneer on his lips.

Isn’t the voice important?

At that time, he was already the mainstay of the theater troupe and was somewhat famous. Many people came here because of his fame, and he met more and more powerful people. The fame and income of the theater troupe increased even more.

How high-spirited he was.

He has a lovely wife at home and his career is rising steadily. He just wants to save enough money to buy a separate house as a new house and move out with Honglian. He has also convinced his parents to marry Honglian.

Although he was plotted at the beginning, he pitied Honglian's life experience and thought that she was the last resort with no way out. He spent a lot of money to let Liu Yuan go out. His parents did not agree at the time, but he He is an only child and has had his own opinions since he was a child. They know they can't change their decision and have relented. It is said that actors are ruthless, but he is not a man of fancy. Later, his heart was devoted to Hong Lian. He really wanted to live a prosperous life with Hong Lian.

However, he never imagined that one moment he was rubbing hands with Honglian on the couch, and the next moment Honglian gave him a bowl of medicine, making him sleepy all night and poisoning his throat.

When he woke up, Honglian had disappeared.

His parents fell into the cold snow. They drank medicine and struggled to find him, then fell into a coma and froze to death.

He didn't want to believe that Guren did this.

He was so kind to Hong Lian. She had all the clothes and jewelry that others had. He wanted Hong Lian to be the mistress and take care of the accounts in the future. He even asked the female teacher to teach her how to read and write. He was just afraid that others would look down on Hong Lian.

Honglian had always been gentle and courteous to him, never letting him worry about family matters. They even often discussed what the names of their children would be and how many children they would have in total.

It was obvious that Hong Lian wanted to live with him, but he couldn't accept it. His hoarse voice was caused by Hong Lian, and his parents also died indirectly at Hong Lian's hands.

But the doctor at the drug store told him that the medicine was bought by Honglian. Honglian said it was a poisonous rat, but he was afraid that the rat corpse would stink, so he didn't want poison, but just drugged him.

The medicine was three-thirds poisonous. Honglian was afraid that Mei Yuzong would wake up, so she drank a large bowl full of it for him, which poisoned his throat.

The funny thing is that Honglian lied to him that it was a tonic, but he actually drank the whole bowl.

But why did Honglian want to harm him?

He couldn't figure it out.

Later I learned that she was seen with a man who looked rich and majestic, and Honglian was seen crying.

He didn't know who the man was, and after asking around a lot, he found out that he was a noble man that even the prefect of Yangzhou didn't dare to mention.

Mei Yuzong thought he was a high official or a nobleman, but he didn't know until he entered the palace that the man was the emperor!

Concubine Jing is Chen Honglian!

Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Jing was favored, and he also thought that Concubine Jing was the emperor's true love. A few days ago, he accidentally overheard the conversation between two young palace maids, and then he realized that Concubine Jing was actually the Queen Mother's stand-in. Before the Queen Mother entered the palace, , who was childhood sweetheart with the emperor.

ridiculous!

He thought that Honglian fell in love with someone else and was in love with the emperor, but in the end, he was just a substitute.

So it’s good to think of yourself, right?

Mei Yuzong flashed a sneer in his eyes, lowered his head and walked out.

When he was questioned by a guard on the way, he acted very calmly and said only that an actor in the theater troupe had dropped something on the road and he was looking for it. Naturally, the guard would not let him run around in the palace, so he was sent back to the theater troupe. 's location.

"Master, are we leaving the palace soon?"

After washing off her makeup, several people came over and asked curiously.

"I won't leave the palace for the time being."

Mei Yuzong said.

"Great! The empress in the palace is so generous. Concubine Qi and Concubine Yun have just sent rewards. Leader, please go and take a look!"

Everyone was poor and scared. They originally wanted to leave the palace quickly to avoid offending the nobles and being beheaded. But now because they have received a large reward, everyone is very excited and does not want to leave the palace.

Their troupe has only become famous in the past few years. It became famous half a year ago when someone invited them to sing in the largest opera garden in Yangzhou. Later, dignitaries in Yangzhou and nearby only asked them to sing in operas. Later, there were also nobles in the north who paid high prices. Raise their reputation so that they can have the opportunity to enter the palace and sing for the ladies.
