Daughter Shenghua

Chapter 286 So Miserable
There was already an old eunuch waiting in the palace.

When Chen Guogong saw his appearance clearly, he still couldn't help frowning.

When Lu You saw that the person waiting had arrived, he saluted respectfully first, then bowed his head without saying a word, and led the way silently.

Chen Guogong looked at this hunched figure with mixed feelings for a moment, and even the palace felt very strange, and the steps under his feet became heavy.

Thinking of his performance on the day of the palace banquet, Chen Guogong couldn't help but shudder.Everyone knew that he was Emperor Jing's confidant, but in the end he was also a pawn arranged by others.

The two of them didn't talk along the way.

Just walking around, Chen Guogong felt that something was wrong. He had been to the emperor's residence before, and this was obviously not the way to go there.

"Wait! Eunuch Lu, this is not the way to the emperor's bedroom. Where are you taking me?" Chen Guogong stopped and asked.

Lu You turned around and said with an expressionless face: "My lord, this is the right way. The emperor has changed his residence now, please!"

After speaking, he continued to lead the way, as if he was sure that Chen Guogui would catch up by himself.

The two walked for a long time, and the more they walked, the more they walked, and there were fewer and fewer palace servants on the road.

Chen Guogong couldn't help frowning, if Lu You was serving the emperor, it would be impossible to appear in front of the palace so soon...

The two walked for nearly half an hour before Lu Youcai stopped in front of a dilapidated cold palace gate.

"Master, we're here." Lu You said.

"This this……"

"Does the emperor live here?" Chen Guogong's eyes widened, his face was disbelieving, and he pointed to the dilapidated cold palace with trembling hands and asked.

Lu You ignored his astonishment, smiled, and took the lead in boasting up the steps and pushing the door open.

The door creaked.

The door opened, and the scene inside the door was unobstructed.

"This, this..." Chen Guogong still couldn't believe that the emperor would live here, his face full of disbelief.

"Didn't the Duke want to see the emperor? Please!" Lu You's voice was still so respectful and polite, but still without a trace of emotion.

Chen Guogong collected himself, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and walked in.

Walking into the courtyard, a pungent musty smell mixed with a decaying smell hits the face.Chen Guogong, who was not prepared, was choked and coughed several times before he recovered.

This is obviously a cold palace that has been in disrepair for a long time. It has been so long that no one waiter has been seen. The courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and the dilapidated doors and windows just fell to the ground.

The ground is full of withered and fallen leaves, which are soft to walk on.The walls are covered with green plants, and from time to time a few geckos can be seen crawling in and out.

The moss that spreads up on the corner wall all tells everyone that this place is remote and barren.

Chen Guogong could guess what kind of misery the house looked like without entering the door.

An emperor actually lives here?Chen Guogong was full of surprise and shock.

"Eunuch Lu, does the emperor really live here?"

Lu You made a gesture of invitation, and walked to a room first.

Enduring the unpleasant smell, Chen Guogong hurriedly followed.

I saw Lu You pushed open the door of a room, and said with a smile: "Master, this is here! Please!"

Chen Guogong looked at Lu You, hesitated for a moment before entering the house.

What he didn't expect was that the furnishings in this room were completely different from those outside.

Half of the room is magnificently furnished, exactly the same as the emperor's original bedroom, and everything is resplendent and resplendent.Even the walls seemed to have been specially repaired, and there was a faint fragrance of sandalwood.

However, the other half of the house is as dilapidated and decayed as the outside.There was only a dilapidated bed in that half of the room.

Only then did Chen Guogong realize that there was someone lying on the tattered bed.

He ran over quickly, and only then did he see clearly the appearance of the person on the bed.

Jing Dihong looked at him intently, as if shaking from excitement.

At this time, Emperor Jing was an ordinary old man, with a dry and dull complexion, completely living up to his original appearance.

He lay motionless on the bed, covered with an old quilt.

Chen Guogong could smell the strange smell coming from there.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! This old minister is late, you are guilty! This old minister is guilty!" Just by looking at him, he burst into tears.

Although he knew in his heart that the life of the emperor in the palace would not be easy, he never expected that the majestic emperor would be so miserable.

When Emperor Jing saw Chen Guogong coming, he was also excited.There was a whimpering sound in his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.It's just that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Regardless of the mess on the ground, Chen Guogong knelt down beside the bed, crying: "Your Majesty, the old minister is here, don't get excited!"

After speaking, he looked at Lu You angrily, and asked loudly: "What did you do to the emperor? How dare you do this to the emperor!"

Lu You still had no expression on his face, and said lightly in his mouth: "Master Hui. This is the order of the empress. The empress said that only by letting His Majesty see hope can he be forced to recover as soon as possible."

Chen Guogong didn't believe his nonsense, and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about! How can you do this! Even if the emperor is sick, he is still the emperor of Dajing! How can you let him live in such a place! The servants What? Where did they all go?"

"My lord, this house was carefully arranged by the empress. Don't worry, someone will serve the emperor for three meals a day, and someone will clean the emperor's body regularly every day!"

Chen Guogong was so angry that his face turned red, "You, you..." He couldn't even say a complete sentence.

"My lord, you have seen the emperor, should I go now!" Lu You asked with a smile.

I heard that Chen Guogong was going to leave and Emperor Jing was in a hurry.

"Um, uh, uh..." He started to struggle again.

He was going crazy already.Although he couldn't move, he knew exactly what happened.Every day, I have to watch myself suffer from humiliation again and again.

He smelled these moldy and decaying smells every day, and his life was worse than death.But he could see the magnificence close at hand, and the daily torture was going to drive him crazy.

Chen Guogong naturally noticed his strangeness, and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, your majesty, this old minister will find a way! Just wait, this old minister will definitely come back to save you!..."

It's just that before he finished speaking, a slightly withered hand pulled him out of the room.

Tears of regret flowed from the corners of Emperor Jing's eyes, this was his last hope...

After the two walked out of the cold palace, they saw the empress who had just been kicked out.

Chen Guogong was still angry, walked over without saying a word and asked, "What did you do to the emperor? Why did you humiliate him like this! He is Dajing's emperor!"

The queen was not angry either, she smiled faintly and waved her hand.Only one person, Lu, was left here, and all the other maids and eunuchs withdrew.

"Duke, have you met the emperor?" The queen asked indifferently.

"Hmph!" Chen Guogong snorted coldly, he was full of resentment at this time, so naturally he would not give the queen a good look.

"Do you think this palace is too vicious?" The queen laughed again.

Chen Guogong glared at her, but did not speak.

The empress laughed at this time, "You think I'm too cruel, ha ha! You all think I'm too cruel! Do you know what the man lying inside has done to me?"
