Night Emperor Crazy Concubine

682 Seal 2
It is very boring to stay alone in the bedroom to recuperate from illness. Even a quiet person like Ji Liangchen can deeply feel the feeling of loneliness.

Ji Liangchen knows that he is a boring person. Although he is not ignorant of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, for the king of a country, these arty pastimes are boring in themselves. Even if he has nothing to do now, he has no interest in thinking about it. Those elegant things.

Both civil and military, excellent strategy, these words of praise are not about him, so he can neither meditate in closed doors, nor can he force himself to study military strategy to pass the time, so when he has nothing to do in the dormitory, he He could only stare at the curtain in a daze, and let the feeling of loneliness and emptiness overwhelm him little by little, as if he was thrown into an abyss without light, unable to get out, unable to escape, until the uneasiness in his heart gradually turned into numbness , all hope turned to despair.

...was imprisoned.

After the power of the king of a country is evaded, he is imprisoned in the deep palace and cannot be free. Such a thing is actually quite normal, and there are many such precedents in history, but Ji Liangchen probably never thought that one day he would treated like this.

He is the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his duty is to handle the government affairs. Apart from that, he actually does not have the courage to become the king of a country. If it weren't for the protection and support of the emperor's uncle these years, he knew that with his own ability, it would be impossible for him to sit still. Stabilize the throne.

He has always known this fact.

Therefore, when the government no longer needed him to deal with it, and when the emperor finally lost patience with him, Ji Liangchen realized very clearly that he was not far from death.

The emperor's uncle would not kill him, but he himself could no longer survive.

When you lose the meaning of living, when you no longer have hope in life, and even when you no longer have any worries and thoughts, what is the difference between death and death?
The corner of the mouth slowly raised a calm arc, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. Ji Liangchen curled up on the soft couch, sat with his knees hugged, and was silently in a daze.

"Your Majesty, the servant has brought the dinner."

Ji An's voice sounded outside, although the tone was respectful as always, but Ji Liangchen was already numb to hearing, and did not respond to the words.

Whether you respond or not, nothing will change. If so, why not save some effort?
Eating, bathing, toileting, and sleeping day in and day out.

It seems that in the long life of a person, only these four things are the most worth worrying about.

He has lost his freedom, but his treatment is not different from before. He still eats imperial delicacies, wears gold silk dragon robes, lives in the most noble and luxurious palace in the palace, and has people bathing and dressing. Respectfully serve...

But Ji Liangchen really couldn't figure out, what's the point of living like this?
Ji An came in with the imperial meal box, took the imperial meal out of the food box swiftly, placed it on the ebony wood table inside the screen, then packed the food box, came over and bowed to report, "The emperor , it's meal time."

He has done these movements countless times, day after day, he is very familiar with them.

In the past, Ji Liangchen was also very cooperative. Ji An said that when it was time for dinner, he would eat dinner, when it was time for bathing, he would take a bath, and when it was time for bedtime, he would go to bed...

But today, Ji Liangchen was suddenly tired and annoyed.

He raised his eyes, looked at the respectful Ji'an in front of him, and said gently: "How long has my body been recuperating?"

In fact, what he wanted to ask was how long he had been imprisoned in the bedroom, but he thought that this way of asking might scare the timid eunuch in front of him, so his tone was much more tactful.

Although, he himself is not sure whether Ji An is really timid.

"It's been a month and a half since I returned to the emperor." Ji'an bowed his head and said, "It's important that you take care of the dragon's body, don't think too much about other things."

Take care of the dragon body?

Ji Liangchen smiled, "What dragon body? I'm not even as good as a bug now."

With a plop, Ji An was so frightened that he knelt down immediately, "The emperor calm down! The slave should die!"

Ji Liangchen looked at him silently.

It seems to be an unwritten rule in the palace. If the master says something wrong, the slave is the damned one. If the master is in a bad mood, the slave is the damned one. When he doesn't know how to answer, a "slave deserves to die" seems to be able to save the disadvantage.

Ji Liangchen sighed, and the sadness in his heart grew stronger.

Raising his head and looking at the splendor and splendor around the palace, carved railings and painted buildings, Ji Liangchen saw a barren and desolate scene.

"Jian." He said lightly, his voice was as gentle as ever, but he no longer had the warmth of the past, and became calm and empty, "Have you been serving me for three years?"

Ji An lowered his head and replied respectfully: "It has been three years and six months."

"Really?" Ji Liangchen chuckled, "Then can you tell me what kind of person Uncle Huang is?"

"The emperor forgives the crime!" Ji An kowtowed in fear, "I dare not speak out."

"Don't dare to speak out..." Ji Liangchen pulled his lips and sighed helplessly, "It seems that your fear of the emperor's uncle is also deep-rooted, anyway, I will not make it difficult for you. But if you dare not say it, then I will say it , you are only responsible for listening, but it is okay?"

Ji An's complexion changed slightly.

He didn't know what happened to the emperor today, but such an emperor made him feel uneasy for no reason.

"What kind of person is the emperor uncle? In fact, I haven't seen it through until now." Ji Liangchen leaned back on the soft couch, looking at the fragrant incense burner not far away, as if at all Unaware of the uneasiness in Ji'an's heart, he opened his mouth, his calm voice carried a hint of vicissitudes of sighing, "I have only vaguely guessed one point until now. It turns out that all the courts and even the rivers and lakes of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty can be called one party. The people of Xiongxiong, nine out of ten were once the emperor's uncle's domestic slaves."

After saying that, he suddenly frowned, and slowly shook his head, "No, it's not in the past, but it has always been. No matter how full-fledged those house slaves are, probably no one has ever dared to betray the emperor's uncle and set up their own family, right?"

Ji'an raised his head and said hastily, "Your Majesty, let's eat first, it will be cold later——"

"Uncle Huang is terrible, I can feel it from Qin Fengyang's attitude." Ji Liangchen said to himself, as if he didn't hear what Ji An was saying, "Uncle Huang never cares about anyone's life or death, he punishes The methods used by his subordinates are cruel and vicious, so even Qin Fengyang, the high-ranking prime minister, feels fear from the bottom of his heart when he mentions the emperor's uncle."

Ji An's complexion turned pale a little bit, and he wanted to stop the emperor from continuing to speak, but just listening to these words, he felt chills all over his body.
