A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 172 A Debt That Shouldn't Be Owned

Tears flowed down her cheeks, Lu Zhilan grabbed the emperor's hand, watching him turn pale, her throat was so painful that she couldn't speak, she could only cry.

Emperor Mingde was really good to her. He had been in the palace for two years, even if she was arrogant and capricious, he would tolerate her and give her all the best things so that the queen would not dare to bully her.

She often sat by the window in a muffled voice and wept. When he came, he never disturbed her. When she had cried enough, she would turn around and have a warm embrace.You don't need to explain anything, you can feel at ease holding it.

He may not be a very good emperor, but he must be a very good husband. She is sorry for him.

His lips moved, the emperor seemed to want to speak, but he had no chance, the medicine of Xiaoyao San was so powerful that it took his life in an instant.For the last time, he still looked at Concubine Lan Gui.

I have been the emperor for more than 20 years, and I only really loved such a woman. I didn't expect it to end like this, I didn't expect that she would do such a cruel thing to me!
What was even more unexpected was that her last thought before she died was not hatred, but worry, what would she do after he died?How could she bear the crime of murdering the monarch?
Crying resounded in Zhilan Palace, people outside did not dare to come in without orders, it was just that Concubine Lan Gui was hurt by something.

Shen Zaiya stood beside him with downcast eyes, calmly instructing his cronies to arrange the future, watched the person go out, turned around and came back, but was slapped loudly by Lu Zhilan.

"Snapped!"

His face was turned sideways, Shen Zaiye narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly turned his head to look at the person in front of him.

The makeup on Lu Zhilan's face was smudged, she was exactly the same as when he lost her toy when she was a child, she yelled at him aggrieved and angrily: "I hate you!"

How she hated him!If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have entered the palace, I wouldn't have met Emperor Mingde, and I wouldn't have owed a debt that I would never be able to repay in my life!
"But the empress finally chose to help me." Shen Zaiye nodded lightly: "Thank you."

Trembling all over, Lu Zhilan grabbed his wrist and bit it desperately, exhausting all her strength!After a while, the taste of blood filled his mouth.

The smell finally calmed her down a bit, she sat down on the soft couch with red eyes, looked up at him and said in the wild: "You know what? I really want to accompany you for the rest of my life, grinding ink for you, watching you dance swords, Follow where you want to go, even if you never look back at me."

"The stupidest thing I've ever done is to enter the Great Wei Palace after listening to Mr. Jiao, thinking it was for your own good, without even thinking about my own retreat. But you... don't appreciate it at all!"

Shen Zaye took a deep look at her: "It turns out that the adults are behind the scenes."

He knew Lu Zhilan's feelings for him, no matter what, he would not be so despicable as to let her enter the palace to pave the way for him.Earlier, she entered the palace suddenly, saying that it was the orders of the people around him to force him to bear the debt of love.He admitted it, after all these years of friends, she is so unwilling, there must be someone who can hate to stick to it.

She didn't expect her to understand that it wasn't his idea.

With more pity in his eyes, Shen Zaiye reached out and handed her a handkerchief: "I am not ungrateful."

Tears flowed down again, Lu Zhilan choked up and said: "You are not ungrateful? You are not ungrateful, why do you ignore me? Why do you treat me worse than before!"

When she stepped into this cold palace, she just wanted to see him smile at her, even if he cared more about her.Unexpectedly, the two drifted apart.How could she not complain about such a result after a lifetime of sacrifice? !

"Because once you enter the palace, you are the emperor's man." Shen Zaiye frowned: "Always abide by the rules."

"Rules?" Concubine Lan Gui was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "In this way, I still hurt myself and chose a wrong path!"

"Your Majesty's Concubine..."

"The imperial concubine?" Lu Zhilan looked at him with red eyes, stretched out her hand to grab Emperor Mingde's cold hand, gritted her teeth and said, "He is dead, can't you see? I am no longer the imperial concubine! Not anymore !"

No one will comfort her when she is crying like this, and no one will pet her, love her and protect her.She loved the wrong person, hurt the wrong person, and harmed the wrong person!Why didn't she pass the cup of tea to Shen Zaiye? !why? !

Boundless hatred surged up, Concubine Lan Gui looked at Shen Zaiye sharply: "You have to make it up to me!"

"How do you want compensation?"

"You will be with me for the rest of your life!" Curled up on the soft couch, Lu Zhilan stared at him firmly: "Treat me better than Xuan Ming!"

Xuanming is the name of Emperor Mingde.

Shen Zaye looked at the corpse of the king on the soft couch, with complicated expressions in his eyes, and it took him a long time to lower his eyes and answer: "Okay."

He could see how kind Emperor Mingde was to Lu Zhilan.It's not that Lu Zhilan has never been tempted by Emperor Mingde, and he also sees it.However, she finally made such a decision, and he should compensate her.

How does it feel to kill someone you love so much?He thought, probably it was the same feeling as when Lu Zhilan was dressed as a concubine and looked at him with extremely disgusting eyes, it was not far away.The debts owed to anyone in this world are not terrible. The most unbearable debts are those who love you deeply, because you can't pay back what they want, and guilt will accompany you throughout your life.

Closing his eyes, Shen Zaiye saluted on the couch, turned around and walked out.

Lu Zhilan's ferocious eyes gradually softened, until she saw his figure completely disappearing outside the door, she slowly lay down in Emperor Mingde's arms like a child who had lost her home, holding his hand and hugging herself , sobbing silently.

Everything that goes into the emperor's mouth in this palace is subject to inspection, only here, only things that she gives, he will put them into his mouth without even looking at them.He must have hated her to die at her hands, but would he still talk to her when he met her in the next life?Would he still look at her tenderly and call out "Lan'er"?
In this lonely and deserted world, her last touch of warmth finally cooled down beside her.

The entire palace was unexpectedly quiet, except for the crying in Zhilan Palace, there was nothing else.

Shen Zaiye calmly went to Qianyuan Hall, took the jade seal under the quiet watch of the palace people, and made a will.The imperial physician was waiting outside the Zhilan Palace, and the emperor's cronies wanted to enter the Zhilan Palace, but they were stopped outside.

"The emperor is seriously ill, and he has invited famous doctors from all over the world to the palace for treatment. Those who can rejuvenate will be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels."

The voice of the eunuch's announcement resounded throughout the court and every street in the capital.The common people pointed around the notice, and the famous doctors in the Xuanhu Hall also entered the palace one after another. For a while, the news of the emperor's serious illness and the huge temptation of 1 taels of gold spread throughout the world.

However, the Southern King of Yingxian Mountain still doesn't know anything, and the passionate young man is fighting the enemy bandits with his sword.The mountain was complicated, and he dealt with those rebels who were good at hiding for several days before finally severely injuring their main force.

"There are still two days left, and this king can take them all!" With excited eyes, Mu Wuxia said: "Our troops are almost intact. According to this situation, we will definitely be able to ask Father for an order to attack Wu when we go back." !"

The general next to him didn't say anything, but lowered his head in agreement.

Mu Wuxia paused, raised his head and glanced at the people around him, frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"My lord, don't think too much." The person next to him hurriedly said: "Nothing happened, the low-ranking people are just worried about you, every time you charge forward, in case there is any accident..."

"What are you worried about?" Mu Wuxia chuckled, and looked down at her red-rimmed white armor: "This thing is solid!"

Everyone responded one after another and winked at each other.

Although Nanwang is young, he is not easy to be fooled. In the last two days, he must not make any mistakes again.

Prime Minister's House.

When the news came that the emperor was seriously ill, Jiang Taohua breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Zaiye did not intend to betray their agreement, Zhao Guoyou was saved!But, why has it been so long, and he still hasn't come back?

The guards outside the prime minister's mansion were even tighter, and everyone in the mansion was anxious.After Taohua stayed in the concierge for a day, she finally returned to Zhengchun Pavilion with moss.

As a result, as soon as he entered, he saw all the concubines in the yard.

"Ma'am!" Gu Huairou still covered her veil, and greeted her anxiously, "Where have you been?"

"Go out and take a walk." Taohua smiled, and looked around, but she didn't see Mei Zhaoxue.

Xu Yangui hasn't come back yet, and it seems that the situation is dangerous. Fortunately, she didn't go, but since that's the case, it's better for Linghan Court to guard it.

"It's messed up outside, you still go?" Gu Qingying frowned, covered her lips with a veil and said, "I heard that the emperor seems to want to..."

Needless to say, everyone understands what it means.Tao Hua patted her hand, and said with a light smile, "We don't have to worry about these things, even if the sky falls, Master Xiang will support us."

Looking at Shen Zaiye's posture of protecting the Prime Minister's mansion this morning, he must have planned it long ago.

Just as he was thinking about it, a servant suddenly ran in from outside, and hurriedly said: "Ma'am! There is a fight outside!"

fight?Tao Hua looked back at him in confusion: "Who is fighting with whom?"

The servant said with a trembling voice: "The Royal Forest Army is fighting with the guards at the gate of our Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Taking a breath, Taohua immediately turned her head to look at the people in the yard and said, "Hurry up and hide in Linwuyuan, I'll go and have a look at the door."

The imperial forest army attacked the prime minister's mansion?Most likely, someone knew about Shen Zaiya's plan and wanted to threaten him with his family members.

What a joke, these women fell into the hands of the Imperial Forest Army, at most they were dragged to cut for fun, so Shen Zaiye would not be threatened, the poor ones are just women!

A group of Ji concubines panicked, and the lanterns helped guide them to Linwu Academy, while Jiang Taohua lifted her skirts and walked towards the gate.

As a result, on the way, he met Mei Zhaoxue.

Glancing at her, Mei Zhaoxue's face turned pale, her eyes were visibly panicked, she lifted her skirt and was about to run towards the gate.
