Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

The palace, the imperial study.

"Long live, the king of Huajun is asking to see you."

Ever since the Zhang family was raided, the third prince was exiled, and the other princes and concubines have all tightened their tails. In addition, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the ministers of civil and military affairs are no longer jumping around. The emperor Yan Shengzhi has finally become a lot cleaner, but as a Yan Shengzhi's busyness is also conceivable for an emperor who lacks talent and relies on hard work for supplies. His poor health will undoubtedly become weaker because of the approaching New Year's Eve. Outsiders may not be able to see it. No matter how much he takes care of it, he probably won't live for a few years.

"Huh? What is he doing here?"

Hearing Zhang Dezi's report, Yan Shengzhi, who was buried in a pile of memorials, looked up suspiciously, and Chu Yunhan, who was accompanying him to review the memorials, stood up with Xiao Qi: "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things that have not been dealt with in the harem. Come back later."

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether he agreed or not, Chu Yunhan bowed to him, then took Xiaoqi and turned around and left. Looking at their backs, Yan Shengzhi couldn't help being a little dazed, and it took him a while to close his eyes and throw away the gun in his hand. Cinnabar Pen: "Let him in."

Gently pressing the swollen temples with his fingers, Yan Shengzhi kept guessing in his mind what Yan Xiaohua wanted to do with him at this time. To Yan Xiaohua, he loved and hated Yan Xiaohua, all because he married the third prince of Xiguo, A few years ago, there was a war between Xiguo and Qingguo. It was Lao Jiu who led the troops, but they lost. They lost in their weapons. Their weapons were cut off instantly when they touched the steel knives of Xiguo soldiers. Cut it off, if it weren't for the bravery of the old nine, they would have been wiped out that time. Since then, they have been very afraid of Xiguo, and they dare not provoke war easily. The marriage of the three princes of Xiguo has undoubtedly brought them peace. The marriage is here, and the trade between Xiguo and Qingguo has become more frequent in the past few years. They don't have to worry about the Western Congress taking advantage of the situation to attack them when they fight with Beiman. Generally speaking, there are many benefits. The only thing that worries him is Yan Xiaohua, after all, he is the second emperor's son, not his own son, if the second emperor has a heart against him, or if Yan Xiaohua is addicted to Sikong Jue's beauty and is bewitched by him, there is no doubt about it It will become very bad, but Yan Xiaohua's performance these years is not bad, he not only kept the third prince, but also did not lose the face of Qingguo County King, although I heard that he seems to have changed a bit recently, it should be because of the child's illness Bar?After all, he only has one son at present, and everyone would be worried.

"My minister sees Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Not long after, Yan Xiaohua walked in under the leadership of Zhang Dezi, Yan Chengzhi smiled: "It's all a family, no need to be polite, Xiaohua sit down."

In this generation, Yan Xiaohua is considered to be the best. In the past, he always wished that he was his son, but...he can only think about it, but now, he also has Xiaoqi who is not inferior to him in every aspect, and Xiao Qi is only ten years old, and he still has infinite possibilities. In the future, he will definitely grow up to be more reliable than him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yan Xiaohua lowered his eyebrows and looked down, and didn't take his politeness seriously. If he really dared not to salute him, he might be suspicious of him, even his father, king and brothers.

"Why did Xiaohua suddenly enter the palace today? Is the child better?"

Looking at him with a satisfied smile, Yan Chengzhi asked casually. In fact, his eyeliner outside the palace had already told him that Yan Shangqing's strange disease had almost recovered, and Ling Jingxuan's medical skills were really not blown out. He will undoubtedly have another strong enemy.

"Thank you for your majesty's concern. The child has almost recovered. Your majesty, can you retreat?"

Not wanting to waste time with him hypocritically, Yan Xiaohua looked up at him. Before coming to the palace, he had already gone to Prince Subaru's mansion to say hello to his father. Although his father did not agree with his decision, he still decided Go to the palace and ask the emperor to make it clear that he can't live without Jue. Even if he guards him like a thief, he doesn't want to continue the agreement. Before Prince Xiguo appeared, he had to resolve the issue between them first, and he must not have any chance to take Jue away.

"Ok?"

The smile on Yan Shengzhi's face slowly disappeared, he looked at him with an unclear expression for a moment, and then waved his hand, Zhang Dezi tacitly led the palace people who were in the imperial study room to retreat.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the agreement made three years ago?"

Facing his reviewing eyes, Yan Xiaohua knelt down on one knee, looking up at him without fear. Three years ago, no, to be precise, it should be almost four years ago. When he just learned that the third prince of Xiguo was going to marry At that time, he didn't feel much. At that time, his concubine had just passed away, and he had just returned from the border. He didn't mind at all whether he married again or who he married. Anyway, he would marry sooner or later. At that time, his father had reminded him that marrying the three princes of the Western Kingdom would certainly bring peace to the two countries, but indirectly, the emperor would fear them even more, and he himself would be in a situation where people were not right and left, remind him to pay attention , not to be too close to the third prince, nor to be too distant, he himself has made up his mind, marrying the third prince and making offerings like a bodhisattva, other things, he can't give it, and he doesn't want to give it, who knows...

When he saw the third prince, he found that he was actually the young man he accidentally saved on the way to the border town. Since then, his reason has been far away. Yes, I only want to be an enviable loving couple with him, but the reality is often cruel. The child's sudden strange illness woke him up, and his intuition told him that the child should not be simply sick, but they couldn't find out why. Come, but under the reminder of his father, he also saw the reality clearly. The more he and Jue fell in love, the more dangerous it was for others, especially this person in front of him, so he made an agreement with him three years ago to sacrifice their love. Love is the condition, in exchange for the promise that he will not do anything behind his back, the only son is already like that, he really can't bear what happens to his beloved daughter-in-law.

From then on, while wandering around the flowers, he still sent people to watch and protect Jue. In the past three years, he never felt at ease for a moment. Whenever the night was quiet, he would always sneak into Jue's room and quietly accompany him until dawn. Then he left quietly, again and again, deep in his heart he was also conflicted, he hoped that Jue would leave him and go back to the Western Kingdom, but he was reluctant to let him really leave.

It wasn't until more than two months ago, when Jue moved to Prince Cheng's mansion for the sake of his child, that he realized how wrong he was. He couldn't do without him at all, so he regretted it and didn't want to continue anymore. Aunt Huang's mutual trust and support made him more determined. In the past, he thought he was protecting Jue, but he ignored it. Jue is also a man. What he needs is his love, not hurt in the name of love. He should trust Jue more, should be honest with him, and face the emperor's suspicion and some people's secret actions together. Originally, he wanted to wait for Jue to return to the county palace with him before a showdown, but when he heard that Jue's elder brother was coming Now, he couldn't wait any longer, he had to solve the problems between them immediately and untie the misunderstanding that had lasted for almost three years.

"Three years ago? Oh, I remembered, you came to me and asked for my trust, right?"

Yan Shengzhi thought about it for a while, but his expression looked a little weird, Yan Xiaohua didn't think too much about it, nodded and said: "Yes, His Majesty was afraid that there might be something wrong with the marriage of the third prince, so the minister took the initiative to ask him to supervise him." .”

To put it bluntly, it is like this, but to put it bluntly, Yan Shengzhi is too suspicious, afraid that they will use the power of Xiguo to turn against him. In order to reassure him, don't always send secret guards to monitor them, or do some small tricks behind the scenes, so he will take the initiative to propose That request, at that time, he only wanted to protect Sikong Jue, and he didn't think about the consequences at all.

"So, do you regret it now? Are you not afraid that I will touch him? As long as he doesn't die, your marriage will still exist, and the benefits it brings will not disappear. You should know that I have plenty of ways to make him a living dead."

His eyes darkened, and Yan Shengzhi's expression was gloomy. For him, the love between Yan Xiaohua and Sikong Jue when they first got married was indeed difficult. If it continued, he might really do it. Fortunately, he was smart and chose to use alienation from Sikong Jue. To win his trust, although it also caused him a lot of trouble, but generally speaking, he is still very satisfied with his performance in the past two or three years, what is it now... He is no longer afraid of his suspicion, nor Are you afraid that he will hurt Sikong Jue?

"Xiaohua knows, but I won't evade to face it anymore. Uncle Huang, I love him. I think you, as the emperor, don't know what it's like to love someone, right? When I first met Jue, I I fell in love with him who is as eccentric as an elf, but his servants came to find him not long after. When we broke up, it was not sad, but it was just not giving up. God knows how grateful I was for accepting this marriage at that moment when he was in the wedding dress. After we got married, the more time I spent with him, the stronger the liking for him. It was the first time I was born in the royal family and felt that I was completely The happiest man in the world, Uncle Huang, I don't want to lose this happiness forever, please make it happen."

As he said that, Yan Xiaohua kowtowed deeply to him a few times. At this moment, he was not begging him as his courtier, but simply begging his uncle as a nephew. Yun Han's figure, does he really not understand love?He doesn't know, in his own opinion, he loves Yunhan, but the imperial education he has received since he was a child does not allow him to favor only one person. It is really hard for him to imagine what it feels like to guard a person wholeheartedly , and couldn't understand why Yan Xiaohua could do this for Sikong Jue, and Lao Jiu too. For Ling Jingxuan, he resisted him more than once. Is it so important that a simple word of love is so important?

"You should know that I can't promise you anything, go back and let me think about it."

Tiredly leaning against the dragon chair, Yan Sheng waved his hand weakly, Yan Xiaohua's eyes darkened, and before getting up, he said firmly: "I will not let Uncle Huang have a chance to hurt Jue."

As soon as this remark came out, it was tantamount to declaring war with him. Yan Chengzhi was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed and said, "You seem to have misunderstood something. The poison on Shang Qing's body is not mine. No matter how suspicious you are, I won't treat you." A milk doll started, he is also my royal blood, I am not that cruel, I know you have misunderstood these years, but it is time to return my innocence."

The reason why he didn't explain it back then was because the misunderstanding seemed to be more beneficial to him, but now, it seems unnecessary.

"Ok?"

Yan Xiaohua looked up reflexively, it wasn't him, who was that?Who else would be afraid of his relationship with Jue?The strong marriage between Qingxi and Western countries will only cause danger to the Eastern Kingdom or the Northern Man, but Aunt Jiuhuang said that Shang Qing is poisoned by southern Xinjiang, so what is going on? "I've said everything I need to say. As long as you don't do what you shouldn't do, I won't touch him. You can do anything else."

"Yes, thank you, Uncle Huang."

Yan Xiaohua was finally relieved by the promised expulsion order. After saluting him respectfully, Yan Xiaohua turned around and retreated. However, the deep thought in his eyes never faded away. Who put the poison on Shang Qing's body?
