Chapter 266

Nanyu wanted to refute, but just said "I", he was interrupted by the emperor, "You have been in the harem for so many years, and you have suffered a lot of grievances. , and have to endure the intrigues of the harem. Do you think the harem is dangerous? Of course it is. But the position I am in is a thousand times more dangerous than you. I stand in a very high position, above ten thousand people, overlooking the common people. But at my feet There are countless sharp swords pointing at me. As long as I am a little careless and fall from this position, there will be thousands of arrows waiting for me to pierce my heart.

As I said, there is a price to pay for everything you do.In order to secure this position, I also have to pay a countless price. "

Nanyu lowered her head and said nothing, her face was a little more moved.

The emperor sighed, and then pulled Nanyu over, put his hands on her waist and hugged her, with his chin resting on her head, but Nanyu didn't struggle this time.

Above her ears was her light and gentle breathing, and his body was covered with ambergris, which made people feel at peace.

She heard him say slowly: "Do you want to hear about my childhood?"

Nanyu was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

The emperor said: "I was established as the crown prince at the age of three. Before the age of ten, I was the only son of the first emperor. Both the first emperor and the queen mother loved me very much. Because the queen mother deliberately concealed my life experience, I always thought that I was the queen mother at that time." When I was ten years old, the Empress Dowager suddenly gave birth to King Wu, and my situation changed."

The emperor thought of when he was a child, as King Wu cried resoundingly in the palace, his father hugged the newborn King Wu and smiled very happily. The queen mother was happy, and the whole harem was very happy. At that time, he knew that he had a younger brother. , is also extremely happy.

But gradually, he realized that something was different. The empress dowager, who had always been pleasant, suddenly became indifferent to him, and the emperor was no longer as kind and amiable to him as before.He made a toy for his younger brother and excitedly took it for his younger brother to play with, but the nanny immediately took King Wu away, and the slaves in the Empress Dowager's Palace did not allow him to get close to King Wu.The ten-year-old child of course felt sad and confused, and gradually, someone spread the news that he was not the empress dowager's own son to his ears.

Some things, as long as they are not deliberately concealed, are still easy to find out, not to mention that the queen mother at that time wanted him to know her identity.Soon he knew that he was not born by the queen mother, but by a court lady, and his biological mother was killed by the queen mother after giving birth to him.

The emperor continued: "King Wu is a direct son, and he is born of the empress dowager who was loved by the late emperor. He naturally won the favor of the late emperor and the empress dowager. King Wu is indeed smart and smart, and he will please the late emperor when he just learned to speak. The Empress Dowager has a parent-child, so of course she will not wait to see me as an adopted son. At first, the Empress Dowager was only on guard against me, but soon the defense developed into disgust and resentment. At that time, I was still the son of the Empress Dowager in name and was raised in the Empress Dowager’s palace. It is conceivable that the days passed. At that time, even the slaves dared to neglect me, even embezzled my share openly, and sometimes even 'forgot' to prepare meals for him."
