The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 398 Death is coming
The night was dark, cold and windy.

Although many things have happened in the capital these days, the Mansion of the Disobedient Marquis is as quiet as usual.

Li Yu didn't do those words lamenting his life experience anymore, he just lived a peaceful life with Xiao Zhouhou, without freedom.

They heard about the change of imperial power in the Song Dynasty from the guard at the door, but they felt that it was of no use to them. It was the same for anyone who became the emperor. They could not be put back by the emperor of the Song Dynasty. They were still Prisoners, they still have to spend time in this place, which may be an extremely long cry.

In winter, Xiao Zhouhou's hands are always cold. Li Yu couldn't help but hold her hand tightly. He misses the life in Jinling a little bit. Jinling's winter is not cold. Even if it is cold, he has enough ability to make his own The bedroom is as warm as spring, but here there is only cold, cold.

The two clasped their hands tightly, and they could feel each other's heart. After Xiao Zhou couldn't help but call out Mr. Lang, Li Yu suddenly felt that his heart had melted.

His hand slowly released Xiao Zhouhou's hand, and slowly climbed up Xiao Zhouhou's body, waist, up, and then up, while the other hand went down, then down.

But at this moment, suddenly a pigeon flew in.

There was something tied to the pigeon's leg. After Xiao Zhou felt that the arrival of the pigeon was a bit unpleasant, Li Yu stopped what he was doing. He took off the letter on the pigeon's leg. After reading it, he was a little surprised and pleasantly surprised.

"Ai Ji, we are going to be free."

After speaking, Li Yu quickly took off another small box on the pigeon's leg. Xiao Zhouhou looked at Li Yu a little puzzled, until Li Yu took out the letter to Xiao Zhouhou, and she finally understood.

But she was still a little worried.

"Lang Jun, is this...reliable?"

"Who else can we trust besides Liu Wei now?"

After Li Yu removed the things, he took Xiao Zhouhou's hand into the bedroom.
-
Royal Palace.

Zhao Guangyi fell in love with the imperial palace deeply, he fell in love with the main hall, the imperial study room, the back garden, and Zhao Kuangyin's harem.

It's just that Zhao Guangyi was not shameless enough to touch Zhao Kuangyin's concubine. After everything was stable, he issued an order that the new emperor ascend the throne, and the world will be amnesty.

And the world's amnesty naturally also includes these court ladies and concubines in Zhao Kuangyin's harem.

He ordered that among Zhao Kuangyin's concubines who did not leave any children, they could leave the palace on their own, or marry someone or whatever. The mansion allows them to live a life like a prince in the capital.

In addition, he also dismissed a large number of court ladies.

Therefore, when the night was dark, the entire palace was actually very calm. Except for the pro-military troops he brought in, there were basically not many women he liked here.

As for the concubine that Zhao Kuangyin favored, he couldn't understand it.

So when he was busy with all the matters in the imperial study, he felt a little lonely, and the loneliness came so quickly that he couldn't be distracted.

When people are lonely, they will think wildly. Zhao Guangyi suddenly thought of Xiao Zhou, and he thought of Xiao Zhou's frowns and smiles. Her slender waist made him want to hold her in his arms.

Once the evil thoughts were let go, they were out of control like a flood that burst a bank, which made Zhao Guangyi want to bring Xiao Zhou to the palace immediately.

But he held back.

Now is not the time.

It is really unreasonable for me to snatch the woman of the Southern Tang Dynasty's lord just as soon as I became emperor, and it is easy to fall into the truth, which is not appropriate.

But when Zhao Guangyi was thinking this way, an eunuch rushed to report: "My lord, news came from the guards of the disobedient Houfu, saying... that Li Yu and his wife committed suicide by taking poison."

"What, Li Yu and Xiao Zhou committed suicide by taking poison?" Zhao Guangyi was surprised. He was still thinking about Xiao Zhou's well-being just now. Why did they suddenly commit suicide for no reason, no reason at all.

Zhao Guangyi found it incredible that Li Yu was so greedy for life and afraid of death, how could he commit suicide?

Could it be that because of confinement for too long, do you feel that life is meaningless?

Zhao Guangyi shook his head. He felt that things were not so simple. Now that the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed for a short time, many old officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty still had hopes for the Southern Tang Dynasty. Now when Li Yu and Xiao Zhou committed suicide when they ascended the throne, then they Could it be that he wanted to arouse the anger of the old ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then make himself unhappy at this time?

Zhao Guangyi didn't have time to think about it, and immediately sent someone to prepare a car to go to the Mansion of the Marquis.

The night was deep, and there was still thick snow on the streets of the capital. Zhao Guangyi entered the Mansion of the Marquis of Disobedience under the protection of many guards. The guards outside the Mansion of the Marquis of Disobedience looked nervous. When they saw Zhao Guangyi, they immediately knelt down and said: " Your Majesty forgives."

Zhao Guangyi glanced at them and asked, "What's going on?"

"We were on duty outside tonight, and later we heard a scream inside. We rushed in to see what happened with some worries, and found that Li Yu and his wife were both dead and committed suicide by taking poison."

Speaking of this, the guard said again: "Your Majesty, we did not expect them to commit suicide by taking poison. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhao Guangyi had no intention of entanglement with these two guards, so he went directly into the bedroom of Li Yu and Xiao Zhou, and saw the bodies of Li Yu and Xiao Zhou lying on the simple bed in the bedroom. He couldn't breathe, and even his body was so cold that he was almost going to stiffen.

There was silence in the room for a while, and after a long time, a close aide of Zhao Guangyi stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, how do you deal with this matter?"

The death of Li Yu and Xiao Zhou must not be known, otherwise it will be extremely unpleasant to hear the anger of the old ministers. Although they are very weak, Zhao Guangyi has not yet held the enthronement ceremony, and he does not want to cause trouble.

After some thought, Zhao Guangyi ordered to his own people: "Take the bodies of the two of them out of the disobedient Hou's mansion quietly, bury them in the Luanfeng post outside the city, and find two more people who look similar to Li Yu and Xiao Zhou. People live in the Mansion of Disobedient Marquis, so don't let people see the flaws."

After Zhao Guangyi's cronies listened to Zhao Guangyi's instructions, they immediately understood what to do, so without hesitation, they carried the bodies of Li Yu and Xiao Zhouhou into the carriage, and left the capital in the dark.

At this time, it was freezing cold, and there were no other people inside or outside the capital. After they left the capital, they came to the Luanfeng post outside the city. They wanted to dig a hole to bury the body, but at this moment, a sudden sound came from afar. There were bursts of stern laughter.

"Ghost... ghost, what should I do?"

"What else can I do, throw it away, there are so many corpses here, who wants to see if it is Li Yu's corpse?"

There are many discarded corpses in the surrounding area, and many of these corpses have no heads or arms. They presumably were eaten by some wild beasts. Seeing this, they became more frightened, so after leaving the corpses of Li Yu and Xiao Zhou, they immediately Jumped into the carriage and rushed to the capital.
