Concubine Biography

Chapter 113

There were imperial doctors coming and going in the Xuanming Palace, Fu'er was waiting outside anxiously, Li Peiling... just sat in the corner blankly, not saying a word.

"Your Majesty! The Emperor is awake!" An imperial physician came out in a hurry, and Fu'er hurriedly strode in.

Li Jiarong's face was pale on the bed, his eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, and after a long while, he slowly closed his eyes again.

"Your Majesty..." Fu'er called softly, but Li Jiarong pursed her lips tightly and did not respond.

An old doctor stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty..."

Fu'er looked back at him, then at Li Jiarong who had her eyes closed, stood up and followed the old doctor outside.

"Your Majesty, the emperor is overly sad, and he will be so when he is stimulated. The old minister will prescribe some warm and tonic prescriptions. This time, the emperor's mood is difficult to calm down for a while, and the empress must relieve the emperor. As the saying goes, a drop of blood from the heart is worth ten." Years of life. Your Majesty must pay more attention to his body in the future, and keep a happy mood at all times to prolong his life." The old doctor's tone was very heavy.

Fu'er's eyes were red, and the old doctor continued, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be too sad. Your Majesty has a tough heart and is in the prime of life. As long as you take good care of him, you will surely recover."

Fu'er nodded, "Thank you."

"The old minister is terrified." The old doctor saluted and retreated.

Fu'er entered the inner hall again, and the idlers had already left. Fu'er looked at Li Jiarong on the bed, and couldn't hold back her tears.

"Your Majesty... You can beat or scold me if you want, but please don't be like this...you are like this... how can you let the concubine live..."

Maybe it was the word live that stimulated Li Jiarong, Li Jiarong slowly opened his eyes, stared at Fu'er, "Peixiang..."

Fu'er cried bitterly, "Peixiang has already gone... Your Majesty... If you feel pain in your heart, you can beat and scold the concubine... It is the concubine who is incapable of discipline, and all mistakes are the concubine's fault... ... Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself... Our daughter is still so young..."

"..." Li Jiarong closed his eyes, with faint tears in the corners of his eyes.

Fu'er sobbed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Fu'er..." Li Jiarong choked up and said.

Fu'er threw herself at his side, "Your Majesty..."

"My heart...is like being twisted by a knife...that child, why is that child so cruel..." Li Jiarong was stiff all over, clenched his fists tightly, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty, my concubine's heart hurts too, Your Majesty, we missed it once, we can't miss it a second time..."

Yeah, missed one, do you want to miss another?The faces of Li Peixiang and Li Peiling flashed alternately before Li Jiarong's eyes, thinking of Li Peixiang who committed suicide, his throat felt sweet again.

After a long time, Li Jiarong let out a long breath, "Call someone over, I want to make an order...."

Fu'er didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly called Yao Junsheng who was guarding outside the hall to come in.

Yao Junsheng knelt on the ground as soon as he came in, and bowed deeply, "Your Majesty, I have no way to teach my son, the matter of the eldest prince... Both of my sons..."

He was surprised yesterday that the gentleman of Dixue suddenly told the emperor yesterday that the second prince was fighting with the eldest prince, and the emperor rushed to Dixue, but when he arrived... the more he thought about it when he went back, the more he felt something was wrong, so he asked The second child, Hongjie, turned out to be admitted by the boss that he had planned to let Mr. Dixue see the two princes arguing, and encouraged him to go to the emperor.

Hearing that the eldest prince committed suicide, he didn't care to teach the two children a lesson, and hurried into the palace to make amends, but what he saw was Li Jiarong who vomited blood and fainted.

Li Jiarong shook his head slowly, "I won't mention it..."

"Listen, pass on my will, posthumously designate the king of Linhua County as the king of Linhua, and let the Ministry of Rites make arrangements for the burial as a prince. In addition to this, in my name, I will add twice as much..." Li Jiarong said Very strenuous, low panting from time to time.

In addition to the Ministry of Rites, add twice as much?Still in the name of the emperor himself, this treatment... is comparable to that of Prince Jing who died young in the history of the Xi Dynasty.

"Yes, Wei Chen obeys the order."

Fu'er has been listening, without saying a word.

She never thought that Peixiang's child would hate their mother and child so much. Seeing those witch dolls, she was very angry, but when she really found out that Li Peixiang had committed suicide, she was filled with guilt and sadness.

"Go down..." Li Jiarong waved his hand, and Yao Junsheng withdrew.

"Queen..." Li Jiarong slightly raised his eyes, looking at Fu'er, "Where's Pei Ling?"

Fu'er wiped away tears, "Outside."

"Let him in." Li Jiarong said.

Fu'er nodded repeatedly, "Yes."

Li Peiling came in with heavy steps. After seeing Li Jiarong lying on the bed, he lowered his head deeply, went to the bed and knelt down.

"Do you have anything to say to me?"

Li Jiarong propped himself up and half leaned on the bed.

Li Peiling lowered his head, Li Jiarong looked at the top of his hair, neither of them spoke.

"I killed elder brother..." After a long time, Li Peiling said slowly.

Li Jiarong didn't say a word.

Li Peiling raised his head, looked at Li Jiarong, tears fell one by one.

"I killed my brother, I didn't mean it...I just want him to know how powerful I am...I just want to beat him...I just want him to be convinced..."

"Why did he do that? I didn't want to kill him! I never thought of killing him..." Li Peiling cried louder and louder.

Li Jiarong looked at him with deep eyes, "You just want to let him know how powerful you are, win him, and convince him. Pei Ling, what will you gain after you beat your elder brother?"

Li Peiling looked at Li Jiarong with tears in his eyes, and stopped crying.

"Son, father mistreated your eldest brother, and I don't want to mistreat you again." Li Jiarong's eyes flashed, "There are mistakes, it's best never to make them, there will be no chance for you to correct them."

Li Peiling sat paralyzed on the ground, crying, "Father... I'm afraid... I killed elder brother, I killed him... If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't have died..."

Li Jiarong took a deep breath and waved to him, "Come here."

Li Peiling got up slowly, walked to the bed, Li Jiarong nodded, Li Peiling sat on the bed restlessly, Li Jiarong reached out and pulled him into her arms, and stroked Li Peiling's soft Hair, said softly, "It's not your fault, it's your father's fault. It's your father that your elder brother hates, not you..."

Li Peiling was buried in his father's emaciated arms, his eyes were getting hotter and hotter, and finally he hugged Li Jiarong and cried loudly, this time, he didn't say anything to kill his eldest brother.

Li Jiarong put his arms around his son, brushed his big hand over the top of his head, and slowly closed his eyes, with tears rolling down from the corners of his eyes.

Pei Xiang, your father is the one who is most sorry for you...

Li Jiarong's consciousness was a little dazed, it seemed that what he was holding in his arms was not Li Peiling, but another child whom he also loved deeply.

After calming down, the father and son sat on the bed, and Li Peiling sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, playing with his fingers with his head down.

Li Jiarong looked at him, and said in a gentle tone, "Did you also blame the emperor in your heart?"

Li Peiling tilted his head slightly, and nodded after a long time, "Father loves elder brother more."

Li Jiarong sighed softly, and Li Peiling hurriedly said, "Just like the father loves the younger sister more, I heard from my classmates that their parents are also like this, they all like the biggest and the youngest."

Li Jiarong twitched the corners of his mouth for some ridiculous reasoning, and Li Peiling felt a little more relaxed when he saw this.After a while, Li Peiling said in a low voice, "Father...I want to do something for elder brother...."

Li Jiarong looked at this naughty son, and suddenly felt that he had grown up.

"it is good."

He doesn't need to know what it is, Li Peiling will also have his own way to pay homage to Peixiang.

"Pei Ling, do you know the difference between the emperor and ordinary people?" Li Jiarong said suddenly.

Li Peiling was taken aback, then shook his head, "I don't know."

After thinking about it, Li Peiling said again, "Can the emperor kill people?"

Li Jiarong shook his head slowly, "Everyone can kill. Just because we establish laws doesn't mean we can get out of the way. I want to tell you that to be an emperor, you should have a heart as wide as the sea. We don't have to learn from the past and the present. , but we have to learn a lot, otherwise we will be looked down upon by scholars. We don’t have to have unique skills, but we have to know martial arts, so that we have the ability to protect ourselves in times of crisis. We don’t have to learn everything, but there is one thing that must be learned.”

"What is it?"

"Learn balance, learn to figure out people's hearts, learn the art of controlling people, and learn the way of the benevolent."

Li Peiling frowned, "It sounds so difficult..."

Li Jia smiled lightly, "The emperor shoulders the country and the people. The greater the responsibility, the more things to do. It is not an easy task to do these things well."

"Father... am I going to be emperor in the future?" Li Peiling asked with a frown.

Li Jiarong asked back, "Don't you want to be?"

Li Peiling buried his head in thought for a while, "If I'm wrong, will my second brother be the emperor?"

Li Jiarong smiled and remained silent.

Li Peiling sighed, "I know, I am the eldest brother, and I will definitely be the emperor in the future."

"Pei Ling, everyone has their own things to do. You have things you must do, and your younger brothers also have things to do. Just do this well in your life, and that's all." Jiarong patted his head.

Li Peiling lowered his head, then raised his head after a while, "Father...wouldn't it be if there were no queen mother, no me...." Li Peiling bit her lips, "Then all this belongs to elder brother, he wouldn't.... "

"Yes," Li Jiarong nodded, "Everything you have now, and even everything you will have in the future, originally belonged to your elder brother."

"..." Li Peiling bit her lower lip and lowered her head in self-blame.

"That's why you have a heavy burden. You have to do it together with your elder brother's share. If you don't do well, you will fail your father and your elder brother."

Li Peiling's eyes became resolute, "I will be my father! I will definitely do my best! Big brother... I will live with his share in the future!"

"That's not necessary," Li Jiarong smiled lightly, "Your elder brother has already walked his way, you just need to walk your own way well, it is very tiring to live with another person on your back, the emperor only I hope you do well, and I don't want you to live so tired."

Li Peiling didn't speak, but his eyes showed incomparable appraisal.

"After school every day, come to Xuanming Hall again. Father also has a lot to teach you." Li Jiarong said.

Li Peiling nodded heavily.

Li Jiarong looked at his little face in a daze, missed one child, and couldn't miss the second child.
