Yunyang little prince

Chapter 64 The Little Prince

The emperor said that he would take Yuning to see Concubine Lin in the imperial mausoleum, and the preparations were made in such a hurry that the whole harem knew about it.

But the emperor himself leaned back on the chair as if he had let go, recalling the past.

That night, he went to Xixia Palace after a long absence.

Concubine Ming hadn't seen him for a long time, she just froze for a moment, stood up and greeted him.

"I'm going to see Concubine Lin in the Imperial Mausoleum tomorrow, does Concubine Ai want to go with her?"

After the emperor finished speaking, his sunken eyes stared at Concubine Ming like an eagle.

Concubine Ming flinched when she saw his eyes like this, but he still said: "I think so, please Your Majesty."

The voice was hoarse and tight.

The emperor suddenly laughed.

That smile is like a vine struggling to climb out of the dry and broken ground, dry and crazy, "You like her."

Concubine Ming couldn't help taking a step back.

"You moved to Xixia Palace because it's close to her. You have been secretly taking care of her children for so many years."

"Did you fall in love with her when she saved you? You were only 15 years old then."

"No, it's because of her that you finally wanted to enter the palace, right?"

The emperor looked at his expression and smiled more and more happily.

This is not how he looks in front of officials, not in front of his children, and even in front of other concubines, he has never had such a vile smile that seems to bring out the filth in his heart.

Concubine Ming was stiff all over, trembling to suppress the churning stuff in her stomach.

"I can take you to see her." The emperor finished with a smile and asked Chief Lian Shun to come in.

Manager Lian Shun put a dark wooden box on the table and led all the people outside the room to leave.

The sound of the door being closed was not loud, but in this quiet night, it made one's heart tremble abruptly.

The candlelight also seemed to be shaken, flickering and jumping twice, illuminating the emperor's face was sallow and haggard, with ravines vertical and horizontal.

His hands were very white, and when he opened the thick black box, one could not help but feel that he was going to release something terrible.

What the box contained was not something scary, but a beautiful Yunfei soft smoke skirt.

"Haven't you seen it?" said the Emperor, "She only wore it when she was in the room with me."

The emperor put the two-layered skirt into Concubine Ming's arms, "I'll take you to meet her, you'll wear it tonight."

Concubine Ming trembled all over, and looked at him in disbelief, her fingers touching the skirt trembled uncontrollably.

"You actually resemble her." The emperor seemed impatient, pushing him and the skirt, "Why do you resemble her? Is it because you like her so much that you subconsciously imitate her? That's fine, otherwise you wouldn't die before him." After becoming a concubine."

The veins on the back of Concubine Ming's hand holding the corner of the skirt bulged, and the end of his eyes turned red almost immediately.

But the emperor just pushed him onto the bed, "Don't you want to know what she looks like in it? You'll know it when you put it on."

When people outside heard the movement, no one moved at first, as if they expected it or experienced it before.

It wasn't until the emperor's screams were heard that they hurried to the door and cautiously called "Your Majesty" twice.

Hearing no response, he panicked and opened the door.

Seeing the scene inside, everyone fell to their knees in fright.

Eyes were all red, blood trickled down from the bed, the emperor lying on Concubine Ming's body moved, the clothes on his waist and abdomen were completely soaked in blood.

act recklessly.

After Yuning heard the news, she hurriedly put on her coat and rushed towards Xixia Palace.

He was still in shock.

When he asked whether his grandfather had influenced the emperor's rule, he would scold his concubine Ming coldly, how could he kill the emperor.

What exactly happened.

When Yu Ning arrived, the queen and the imperial physician had already arrived, there were several layers of guards around the Xixia Palace, and the palace was full of court ladies and eunuchs kneeling, all of them pale, and many people were trembling.

The further you walked in, the more obvious the smell of blood became. When you arrived in the dormitory, it was already so strong that it made people panic.

The envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital stopped the bleeding of the emperor with trembling hands.

The emperor was lying on the bed, the bedding under the bed was almost soaked with blood, all the blood came from the emperor's abdomen, there was a blood hole there, and there was a scar from being bitten by a hungry wolf 19 years ago.

"Prince." The queen's voice trembled, as if she was frightened by this scene, and she was relieved to see him.

"How is father?" Yu Ning asked.

The hospital envoy who took out the needle to sew up the wound was sweating profusely, and his expression was tense, as if he hadn't heard his words, while the other imperial physicians all knelt on the ground, touching their heads to the ground.

Yuning probably knew.

He stared blankly at the pale and distorted emperor, all kinds of feelings flooded in his heart for a moment, and he didn't know how to react.

He had wanted him dead.

However, when he was really about to die in front of him, while he was dazed, he felt panic and dull pain.

After all, this person who patted him on the back and called him Xiaoqi, and who also personally fed medicine to his mouth, was his father.

"Xiaoqi."

The emperor's weak voice brought him back to God from the complicated emotions.

Yuning walked to his side.

"Call, tell your brothers to come."

Yu Ning pursed her lips and said, "They've already called, they're all on their way."

"well……"

"Xiaoqi, actually, actually, I..." The emperor opened his eyes vigorously, "I like you very much, you, concubine mother."

The first to arrive were the third prince and the noble concubine who lived in the palace.

Yuning and the queen walked out of the room together, giving them the space.

The sixth prince hurried over and walked to them silently, with a dull expression on his face.

Yu Ning asked: "Where is Concubine Ming?"

The Queen pointed to the conservatory to the east, "It's locked inside."

There were several guards guarding there, there would be no danger for Yu Ning to go in, but Lin Hua still followed him closely, for fear that Yu Ning would also be assassinated by him.

Concubine Ming's body was wrapped in a thin gray quilt, and blood was stained in several places on the quilt, it must have been draped over that bed.

He is tall but thin, and the thin quilt completely covers him, only his feet and the light green skirt around his feet are exposed.

Those are not men's clothes.

Yu Ning froze for a moment.

In his impression, Concubine Ming is a person who is knowledgeable and respectful, and will never wear women's clothes like the third prince.

"Go get Concubine Ming a change of clothes." Yu Ning said to the people outside.

Concubine Ming wrapped herself even tighter, tucked her feet into the quilt, and said in a hoarse voice: "No need."

Yuning looked at him for a while, and asked, "Why did you kill the emperor?"

Concubine Ming's eyes were far away: "I wanted to kill him a long time ago."

Yu Ning asked: "Why?"

"Why? I have studied hard for ten years. I could have won the gold medal and realized my ambitions, but I was locked up in this deep palace as a nondescript male concubine, serving him with a group of women... How can I not hate it."

He bit his lip, his face was no longer as calm as usual, the corners of his lips were bloody, his eyes were dark, and he said fiercely: "I hate, I hate him!"

Yuning looked at him silently.

It was like looking at another person, like a beast that had been suppressed for a long time in a cage and was on the verge of despair, finally broke out.

"But, have you ever thought about it, this is a great crime against the Jiu Clan."

Concubine Ming chuckled, "Prince, the Madam of the Hou Mansion passed away last month. As for the others, I don't need to care about the people who sent me to the palace for the sake of my future."

Too many things happened in the court last month, Yu Ning really didn't know that the old lady of the Hou's mansion had passed away, and he didn't even know if the emperor granted him permission to return to the Hou's mansion.

The door was pushed open forcefully, the corners of Yu Beizheng's eyes were red, his pitch-black eyes locked on Concubine Ming, and he asked gloomyly, "Why did you kill Emperor Father!"

"Father made you a concubine and treated you well. Why on earth are you doing!"

Yu Beizheng walked over quickly, grabbed Concubine Ming by the back of the neck, and directly pulled him up.

Concubine Ming couldn't struggle in front of him who was young and strong, and the quilt on her body slipped off, revealing the beautiful dress on his body.

Yu Beizheng was taken aback.

The skirt was a little small on his body, and it was tightly attached to his body, the skin was faintly visible, ambiguous and funny.

"Brother Beizheng, let go."

Yu Beizheng immediately let go, and Yu Ning wrapped the quilt around Concubine Ming's body again, feeling his body trembling.

He turned his head and said to Yu Beizheng who was in grief and anger, "Brother Beizheng, he is our teacher."

Yu Beizheng: "He is also ours..."

He didn't say the second half of the sentence.

Yuning knew that the four words he didn't say were "Killing the father and the enemy", he couldn't say it because the emperor was still being rescued.

Just as he paused, a loud cry of pain suddenly came from outside, resounding through the night sky.

All three were shocked.

You can say those four words.

Yuning felt that the people around him were shaking more clearly, and turned around to see Concubine Ming smiling.

"Finally dead hahaha! He should have been bitten to death by wolves when he was assassinated in Taishi Mansion hahaha."

"You!" Yu Beizheng took another step forward, but he didn't know where to start. He gave Concubine Ming a hard look, and rushed out to see the emperor.

When Yuning went out with him, he happened to see the eldest prince coming out of that room. He looked at Yu Ning and said, "Ring the death knell."

Yu Ning was stunned for a long time.

When he came back to his senses, there was a person kneeling on the ground in front of him.

The emperor died, and he became the new emperor.

Everything was going too fast, when Yu Ning stopped for a while, the new dragon robe was already placed in the East Palace, and the Minister of Rites began to tell him about the enthronement ceremony.

The ceremony of establishing the crown seems to be just yesterday, and in a blink of an eye it will be the enthronement ceremony.

Yuning pressed his temples, looked at the dragon robe, and then at the memorial on the table.

The last person the emperor saw before his death was the Eldest Prince, and directly asked the Eldest Prince to be in charge of his funeral, Yu Ning didn't bother much, he was concerned about the Concubine Ming's family.

Concubine Ming was born in Hongyuan Marquis Mansion, which was originally a Marquis Mansion that gradually declined after three generations. Because Concubine Ming rose again, there were more than 300 people.

They were supposed to be killed, but Yu Ning only put them in prison for the time being.

These memorials are all related to this.

He had been suffering from a headache for a long time, but when he saw this dragon robe today, he suddenly had an idea.

In the memorial of the Ministry of Punishment, it was approved: "The whole family is punished by death, and will be executed immediately after autumn."

Enough to shut the mouth of Youyou.

【Zizai, are you really going to kill Concubine Ming? Woooooo. 】

【The emperor must have done something insane to Concubine Ming, he was forced to despair before killing the emperor. 】【Woooooooo Mingfei is one of my white moonlights. 】

Yuning shook his head, "Don't kill."

The Minister of Rites immediately raised his head when he heard the words, and lowered his head when he realized that the emperor was talking to the gods in the heavenly book.

Thinking about the word "don't kill" in his heart, it was the will of the Hou Mansion from heaven.

Yu Ning tried on the dragon robe, and the manager, the Ministry of Rites, and the internal treasury were all on the sidelines to take care of the records.

The picky new manager felt that it had to be revised, Yu Ning looked down, and it was obviously very suitable, "Recently there are many things in each department, don't change it."

Yu Ning asked: "How is the preparation for the enthronement ceremony going?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, nearly half of the people in the Ministry of Rites were transferred by the eldest prince to prepare for the funeral of the late emperor, and the details of the enthronement ceremony have not yet been finalized."

Minister of the Ministry of Rites was a little tangled, and seemed to have something to say, but Yu Ning interrupted him, "It's okay, let the elder brother prepare for the funeral first."

He didn't care about the idea of ​​enthroning first and then burying the late emperor.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites wanted to say something, opened his mouth, and finally closed it again.

Yuning took this into consideration, and wondered if there was a rift between him and Brother Da Huang.

It was the first time that Brother Dahuang participated in political affairs, and he went to the Ministry of Rites.

In the end, the new emperor ascended the throne first, and the previous emperor was buried. A country cannot live without a king, not to mention that he had to preside over the funeral of the previous emperor.

On the day when Yu Ning ascended the throne, he pardoned the whole world, honored the former empress as the empress dowager, and at the same time conferred the titles of the first, third and sixth princes who have not yet been crowned kings as kings.

Everyone thought that he would chase after his biological mother Concubine Lin, but Yu Ning did not.

He just secretly moved the tomb of his mother and concubine out of the imperial mausoleum after the emperor's burial, and transferred it to the mountain next to Qingcheng Academy.

At the same time, under the cover of Amnesty, Concubine Ming was also sent to Qingcheng together.

When he first came to the throne, Yu Ning was very busy, busy regaining the power of the third prince, busy balancing the power of the major families in Chengdu, and transferring officials from Qingcheng to the court to implement the new policy.

I don't know if it's because of hard work, but Yuning's health is getting worse and worse.

His body has indeed never developed in a good direction, and has been declining in a bad direction, but the speed of deterioration is too fast.

It was so bad that he coughed in front of the ministers in the morning court. Although he stopped coughing and continued to court, the ministers were still worried.

Someone even asked Yu Ning to choose a concubine on the spot.

The choice of concubine is on the surface, but in fact, he wants Yu Ning to stay as soon as possible so that the country can be safe.

Yuning prevaricated and left court early.

After he came down from the hall, the waiters behind him saw the blood coughed up from his long sleeves, and the manager was so frightened that he lost his voice on the spot.

Yu Ning held his arm, and said in a vain manner: "Go and call the imperial doctor, don't disturb others."

The people in the book were as flustered as the manager.

[How could Zai Zai be like this? 】

[Being an emperor is not good at all, it's too tiring, why don't we just stop doing it. ] Waiting for Yuning to lie on the bed and rest for a while, he said: "I didn't plan to do it for a long time."

When did you first have the idea of ​​becoming an emperor?

The drowsy Yu Ning couldn't help recalling the past.

That time when he knelt in front of the royal study and begged the emperor not to let the emperor marry him, he hadn't clearly wanted to be the emperor. It was different from what the emperor thought. At that time, he clearly realized that what he wanted to have was power, not the throne. .

The first time he had the idea of ​​wanting to be the emperor was when he saw the words left by the concubine Bai and knew that the assassination of the Grand Master's Mansion was planned by the emperor.

He wants to be the emperor, wants revenge, wants to overthrow everything about him.

Especially when others believed that he could not be the emperor because his mother clan had committed the crime of killing the king, he insisted on doing it.

Why can't it be him.

Regicide, that was just a joke.

Later, seeing the second prince and the third prince fighting to the death for the throne, not hesitate to attack their own people, this idea was further strengthened.

It doesn't look like his original intention, but when he actually took this position, he really liked the feeling of making this country a little bit better.

So he didn't realize the hard work and didn't think his body would become like this.

The general manager called the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, and after reading it, he prescribed maintenance medicine for Yu Ning, telling Yu Ning to pay attention to rest.

The first time he vomited blood, no one noticed except the hospital and the people around him.

It was the same the second time, when Yu Ning vomited blood for the third time, Yu Ning couldn't hide it, and was discovered by Yu Beizheng in the court hall.

In the past, whether it was coughing or wheezing, it could be regarded as weakness, but coughing up blood was different.

Almost all the princes came to see Yu Ning, and the eldest princess also came.

"It's just that I worked too hard a while ago, it's okay." Yu Ning promised with a pale face: "I will definitely pay attention in the future."

The princes were barely appeased, but the princess still looked worried.

After they left, the manager said, "Your Highness still hasn't shown up."

"Elder Brother, hasn't he ever gone out?" Yu Ning asked.

Lin Hua said, "Yes, I have never gone out."

After the death of the first emperor, it was the Great Prince and the Fourth Prince who were most saddened, and this could be seen by the entire court.

And the third prince is like a normal person, even listening to music in the palace.

After the death of the first emperor, officials and clan members were not allowed to have fun for three months, if Yu Ning hadn't sent someone to order it to stop, we don't know what he would do.

Yu Beizheng was really sad at the time, and he walked out quickly, but what Yu Ning didn't expect was that his elder brother was the saddest person.

He asked Yuning for leave for three months, and he hasn't come to court for a long time.

For these three months, he did not go to court and see no guests, as if he was keeping a filial piety for the previous emperor.

After hearing this, Yuning didn't say anything, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

On the second day, Yu Ning proposed the road construction.

After hearing this, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs immediately told him, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Household Affairs has not been able to provide any extra money due to the recent implementation of new policies. It is better to wait for the new tax next year."

Indeed, as he said, there are too many places to spend money recently, and the household department has almost been emptied by him.

This matter should have been pushed again, but Yu Ning always had the feeling that he couldn't wait, all the things he wanted to do in his heart, he couldn't wait to start.

When Yu Ning was hesitating, Li Shizi, who was standing very far behind, slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have money."

Hubu Shangshu: "..."

Yu Ning couldn't help laughing.

Laughing and laughing, he felt dizzy again, and a fishy sweetness came from his throat.

He hurriedly stopped laughing, and remained silent for a while before suppressing it.

After retreating from the court, he called Li Shizi to the imperial study.

After drinking a cup of tea in the imperial study room, he felt much more comfortable. He smiled and said to Prince Li, "You can't take the money from the prince for nothing. Does the prince want to receive money next year, or is he going to be promoted this year?"

Li Shizi asked happily: "Is the emperor going to reward the minister?"

Yuning nodded.

Prince Li suddenly knelt down in front of him, "Then, please grant me a marriage from the emperor."

Yu Ning was overjoyed, "Sister Huang agrees?"

Prince Li coughed, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask the princess yourself."

Yu Ning asked someone to invite the princess on the spot, which embarrassed Li Shizi very much.

Yu Ning couldn't help laughing more happily, he had seen Li Shizi's decisive appearance in the shopping mall, and he had seen his thick skin since he was a child, and knew that he loved to go to some romantic occasions with Li Wang when he was a child, but he didn't expect that he would also Excuse me.

When the princess came, Li Shizi was almost restless and wanted to cough from time to time.

Yu Ning directly asked the princess if she would like to let Prince Li be her son-in-law.

"He." The princess's phoenix eyes raised lightly, and she glanced at him, "It's still good."

The corners of Li Shizi's mouth split open immediately.

Yuning couldn't help laughing, the princess tensed up for a while, her eyebrows and eyes were also bent down uncontrollably, and a smile was faintly visible at the corner of her mouth when she lowered her head.

The air in the palace, which had been suffocated for a long time, was washed away by this joyful atmosphere.

Yu Ning asked: "When does the imperial sister plan to get married?"

The princess said: "I'm not too young, let's go early."

Li Shizi interjected: "The sixth day of next month is an auspicious day."

Yuning: "..."

The sixth day of next month will be less than a month away from now, and it will be three months since the death of the first emperor, so I can't wait.

The princess did not object.

Yu Ning said: "Sister Huang must have a grand wedding. In less than a month, I can't even prepare two wedding dresses."

Prince Li glanced at the princess and said with a smile, "I'm all ready."

Yuning: "..."

He laughed again, "Let's do the math for Qin Tianjian. If the sixth day is suitable, we will make a decision."

Although he didn't believe it, he still had to make sure that everything was fine when the princess got married.

"Of course." Li Shizi laughed like a Maitreya Buddha, easy to say anything.

He also didn't think it was appropriate for the emperor to ask, and Qin Tianjian would say it was inappropriate.

Because of this, Yuning is in a good mood all day long, and the people who serve him are also happy and relaxed.

The steward said happily: "Finally there is going to be a happy event, just to congratulate His Majesty."

The smile on Yuning's face froze.

Then he thought of the light in the eyes of the princess and Li Shizi, and laughed again.

Whether this is their purpose or not, at least they really like each other.

At night, Yuning wanted to share this good news with Xi Ting, but he didn't wait.

In recent days, he has been very busy and his body is weak. Sometimes he has to approve the memorials until very late, and sometimes he falls asleep without knowing the memorials.

Xi Ting also seems to be very busy.

So much so that they haven't spoken much recently.

Yuning wanted to talk to him very much.

After washing, he leaned on the bed, thinking about waiting for him, and fell asleep again without knowing it.

Xi Ting only appeared in the middle of the night, not at home, but in Xi Hai's laboratory in Capital Star.

He was wearing a silver exotic suit, which almost completely isolated him from the air.

The face is still visible though, and the head is transparent.

Xi Hai could clearly see the tiredness and desire to kill on his face.

Somewhat distorted, but still a voice that made people want to escape came from above his head, "This is the seventh time, and I wore it wrong again."
