Rebirth of Splendid Heaven

Chapter 349 Shuyan and Zhener

There is a small garden in front of the cold palace. Although there are not many flowers, they are blooming beautifully.It's just a door away, but it's a world of difference.

After seeing the emperor once in the gazebo in the garden, An Muzhen sat at the gate of the cold palace every day.Looking out from the not-so-wide door, at first it was to see the emperor, but in the end it became a flower.

Whether it's the emperor or the flowers, these are all excuses to kill time.

Today, An Muzhen was sitting at the door as usual, looking at the flowers swaying in the wind.

Today was the same as usual for her, but it was very unusual for other people in the palace.

In the Palace of Qinzheng, the emperor was reviewing the memorial, when Shuyan's maid broke in regardless of the rules, "Your Majesty, the princess is dying."

The emperor was furious, and dropped the memorial in his hand, "What do you mean the princess is dead?"

The maid lay on the ground in fear, not daring to look up at the emperor, "Your Majesty, go and have a look."

"If something happens to the princess, I will take your heads!" The emperor walked out of the Qinzheng Hall angrily.

The gate of Shuyan's palace was closed tightly, and the maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground on both sides.

Seeing this situation, the emperor felt even worse.He stepped forward quickly and kicked the door.The first kick did not open, and the second kick was fierce, and the door opened.

As soon as the door opened, he lifted his foot and walked in quickly.The more he walked in, the faster he walked, and finally he became a runner.It seems that if he was later, he would never see Shuyan again.

"Shuyan!" When he saw Shuyan leaning against the head of the bed, vomiting blood, his heart ached like a needle.

"Imperial doctor, go to the imperial doctor. You trash, why don't you go to the imperial doctor?" The emperor took two steps forward and hugged Shuyan in his arms.

Seeing the emperor coming, Shuyan smiled sadly and shook her head at him: "It's useless, Brother Huang, don't let them call the imperial doctor... I, I can't live anymore."

"Don't say stupid things, I told you to live and you will live." Seeing Shuyan like this, the emperor felt distressed like a knife.

"Eunuch Hua, quickly write to Uncle Wang..."

"No..." Shuyan raised her hand weakly to stop her, "Brother Huang, I don't want to live anymore. I want to die, so you can fulfill me."

"Shuyan, what are you talking about? You can't die if I don't allow you to die!" The emperor's eyes turned red, and he shouted outside: "What about the imperial physician, why hasn't the imperial physician come yet?"

Shuyan coughed and spat out another mouthful of blood, looking for something under the bed.Seeing her like this, the emperor turned the bed for her and saw a letter underneath.

Shuyan held the letter in her hand, weeping in pain: "Brother Huang, you have wrongly blamed your mother. She didn't kill your mother and concubine, no!"

"How is it possible?" The emperor froze suddenly, looked at Shuyan in shock, and asked coldly, "Shuyan, are you still blaming the emperor's brother for being so cruel that he didn't spare the lives of the queen and the eldest prince?"

"I don't blame it, I don't blame it a long time ago. Brother Huang, everything is in this letter, you will know it after reading it." Shuyan handed the letter to the emperor again, and the emperor opened the letter with one hand and read it carefully stand up.

The letter introduced in detail the circumstances and reasons for killing the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine is from Cangyu, or from the royal family of Cangyu.Although she is a member of the royal family, her status is embarrassing. She killed the queen and her mother and concubine when she was born.When he was three years old, there was a war in Cangyu, and the national teacher calculated that it was all because of her.

Therefore, she was crowned with the name of disaster star.

When she was ten years old, she was secretly sent to Dashun territory by Emperor Cangyu, where she met the emperor's father, Emperor Tianhua.At that time, Emperor Tianhua was still a prince. He was attracted by her beauty and brought him back to the palace.

When she was old enough, Emperor Tianhua directly made her his concubine and made her his wife.There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and Emperor Tianhua only dotes on her.

For this matter, the Empress Dowager persuaded His Majesty Tianhua many times, but His Majesty Tianhua still went his own way and loved the imperial concubine very much.

Before she gave birth to a son and a half for Emperor Tianhua, the emperor was seduced by her beauty and made her a noble concubine.In the harem, except for the queen mother and empress, her status is the highest.

Seeing the Emperor Tianhua doting more and more on the imperial concubine, the Empress Dowager felt uncomfortable.She was worried that Dashun's country would be destroyed in the hands of Emperor Tianhua, so she sent someone to investigate the origin of the imperial concubine.

Half a year later, when the most accurate news reached the queen mother, she was ready to kill the imperial concubine.How could the Queen of Dashun be a woman from another country?
This is absolutely not allowed!

That night, the Empress Dowager summoned Emperor Tianhua and told him about it in secret.Emperor Tianhua didn't know that the imperial concubine was the disaster star of Cangyu, and he was very painful when he heard the news.

The queen mother insisted on killing the imperial concubine, but the emperor interceded for her, saying that the imperial concubine was pregnant, and begged the queen mother to let her give birth to his flesh and blood.

It's just a child, as long as others don't tell him, he doesn't know anything.Besides, there is the little prince, she is not worried that Dashun's country will be snatched away by such a person's son.So the Queen Mother agreed to Emperor Tianhua's request, and waited until the imperial concubine gave birth to a child before secretly executing her.

After the child is born, he will be the seventh prince, the current emperor.

Not long after the Seventh Prince's full moon, His Majesty Tianhua held a banquet in the imperial garden, enjoying flowers and drinking with the imperial concubine only.When the wine was strong, Emperor Tianhua poured a glass of poisoned wine for the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine drank it in one gulp, bleeding to death on the spot.

The person who killed the imperial concubine was the Emperor Tianhua.

It was his father who killed his mother and concubine, and for so many years, he always believed that it was the queen who killed his mother and concubine.

No wonder the little prince said he was a white-eyed wolf, that he shouldn't snatch the throne of the eldest prince, that he...

"Haha..." The emperor burst into laughter suddenly, the oily paper in his hand was crumpled into a ball, and he threw it on the ground viciously.

It's only now that he sees the use of these things, Dashun's country is already his.The queen is dead, the eldest prince is dead, everything is not important anymore.

If, if he had known the truth of this matter earlier, would he not have hated the queen, and would not have competed with the eldest prince for the throne.But his father, who he always thought was good to him, was the murderer who killed his mother and concubine.

Who should he hate?hate who!

His most beloved father, why can he cruelly kill his favorite woman with his own hands?

Why?Why all this?
"Why?" The emperor cried out in pain, his heart was filled with grief, and tears poured out, instantly blurring his vision.

"Brother Huang!" Seeing that he was going crazy, Shuyan coughed suddenly and told him that there was still a letter in the envelope.

Hearing Shuyan's words, the emperor tightly closed his eyes, squeezed the tears from his eyes, and then opened them.

He picked up the envelope that he had thrown away, and sure enough there was still a letter inside.The oil-covered paper of this letter is much newer than the one just now, and it should have been written by someone later.

When he opened the letter, he realized that the letter was written by his father.

In this letter, Emperor Tianhua told him the truth back then and explained why he did so.

Killing the woman he loves with his own hands is a kind of pain for everyone.For the sake of Dashun's country, Emperor Tianhua had to do this.

The imperial concubine's life cannot be saved, let others kill her, it is better for him to solve it, let the beloved die in his arms.This was what Emperor Tianhua thought at the time. His thoughts were overbearing, even if he died, he could only give her death.

After killing the imperial concubine with his own hands, Emperor Tianhua felt very guilty towards the seventh prince.So he was raised under the name of the queen, and told the queen that he must be regarded as her own.The queen has done it all, and she treats him even better than the eldest prince.

At the end of the letter was a sentence of extremely small characters, and the emperor could only read it clearly when he brought the letter to him.It is Emperor Tianhua's expectation for him: "Xiaoqi, if you become the emperor of Dashun in the future, you must be a good emperor. The past is over, don't ask who is right and who is wrong. Dashun's country In your hands, you have to take good care of it.”

This letter was written two years before the death of Emperor Tianhua. It turned out that the emperor had always known that he had the intention to seize the throne.

"Haha..." After reading the letter, the emperor burst out laughing again.

However, this burst of laughter is no longer painful and desolate, but instead has a feeling of seeing the sky through the clouds and moon.

Father is right, there is no need to pursue the past, the most important thing is to grasp the present!

In fact, in the final analysis, all of this is fate. It is fate that made him the emperor, and no one can change it.Just like that time when he was tricked by the empress and was ambushed by the eldest prince, he was seriously injured.

At that time, he himself gave up the idea of ​​life, thinking that he would definitely die.But the result was beyond his expectation, someone saved him halfway.

It was that time that he almost lost his life and made him wake up. It is impossible for him to end up fighting the queen directly like that.Moreover, he was seriously injured, and the queen could crush him to death by moving her little finger casually.

So he chose to show weakness and dragged his seriously injured body all the way back to the palace.He went straight to the queen's bedroom and prayed for her treatment.

Even though the queen really wanted to crush him to death, she didn't dare to do that in front of so many people in the palace, she couldn't do that.Not only can she not hurt him, but she also actively heals his injuries.Otherwise, her queen's reputation as a kind and virtuous queen will be lost.

Since then, he has kept a much lower profile than before, and no longer confronts the First Prince face to face.He also showed friendship with him and was willing to help him become emperor.

In front of outsiders, he actively curry favor with the eldest prince, which doubled his vanity and made him less wary of him.Fortunately, he met such an idiot as the eldest prince, if he met the little prince, his thoughts would have been seen through long ago.

This is really fate, God is helping him.Even when it came time to fight for the throne, the eldest prince still trusted him and believed that he would not fight for the throne.

Just remembering these things, Shuyan's whole body twitched a few times in her arms, and blood flowed out of her mouth continuously.The emperor suddenly came back to his senses, anxiously: "The imperial physician, why hasn't the imperial physician come yet?"

After spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, Shuyan said weakly: "Emperor, brother... no, don't save me, I, I have no hope of surviving..."

"Shuyan, tell me why you don't want to live?" The emperor hugged Shuyan tightly and looked down at her seriously.

Shuyan also looked at him, and suddenly smiled at him weakly, as sweet as when she was a child.

"Tell Brother Xiaoqi, why don't you want to live?" Recalling his childhood, the emperor remembered Shuyan always following him and calling him Brother Xiaoqi.

How innocent and intimate they were then!

Fast forward more than ten years, and they can no longer be as happy and innocent as they used to be.

"An Muzhen!" Panting heavily, Shuyan tried her best to say these three words in one breath.

As soon as the last precious word was finished, Shuyan's eyes slowly darkened, and her consciousness began to gradually blur.

"Jane, let's be friends."

At the age of five, she was very lonely in the palace.Because the youngest Xiaoqi brother has grown up, and no one plays with her.But Brother Xiao Qi loved her and said he would find her a playmate, and that playmate was An Muzhen.

"Jane, why are you doing this to me?"

At the age of eight, her father passed away, and her mother and elder brother were captured by Brother Xiaoqi. She became the most miserable person in the world.

An Muzhen grabbed her, threw her into the dungeon, and told her darkly: "Shuyan, I actually don't like you very much. Because of you, I was humiliated. You treat me well on the surface, but in fact you treat me badly." Not good. If you are really nice to me, why did you find the Hou Mansion after losing Ye Mingzhu?"

She explained to An Muzhen that she went to the Hou Mansion because she suspected that An Muqin took it.And it was the most precious gift her father gave her, and she didn't want to lose it.

But these explanations were not important to An Muzhen, because she couldn't listen to them at all.

"Precious concubine, what did you give me to eat?"

At the age of ten, although she was conferred the title of Princess Yinhua by the emperor, on the surface she is very beautiful, but only she knows that her life is not easy.

Because of An Muzhen, An Muzhen hated her, so she tortured her.

Brother Xiao Qi hasn't come to see her for a long time, he must have hated her mother and concubine, hated her elder brother, that's why he didn't come to see her.Every time she was bullied by An Muzhen, she hoped that Brother Xiao Qi would come to see her.But the result disappointed her again and again, and in the end she no longer had any hope for Brother Xiao Qi.

"This is Chizhu, which can make your body develop in advance." An Muzhen told her with a smile.

She scratched her throat hard, trying to spit out Chizhu, but all she spit out was food and acid water.

The early development of her body made her afraid to see Brother Xiaoqi again.Even when he comes sometimes, she finds reasons to avoid him.

"puff!"

Before Shuyan opened her eyes, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

The emperor held her hand vigorously, and said happily: "Shuyan, don't be afraid, brother Xiaoqi is by your side."

Shuyan turned her head slowly, all the imperial physicians were standing in the room, did she come back to life?
No, she doesn't want to live, she wants to die!She didn't want to become like An Muzhen in the future, she was still young and her face was gone.

"The imperial physician, come and feel the pulse!" The emperor was overjoyed to see her move, and quickly shouted to the imperial physician behind him.

"puff!"

As soon as the imperial physician came to Shuyan's bed, she spat out another mouthful of blood, and smiled at the imperial physician: "Don't waste your time, you can't save me."

After speaking, Shuyan slowly closed her eyes.

"Emperor physician!" The emperor roared, and the imperial physicians stepped forward one after another.

After a stick of incense, all the imperial physicians knelt in front of the emperor and said in unison: "Please mourn the emperor!"

"Get out!" The emperor kicked the imperial physician in front of him several times, hugged Shuyan and cried bitterly.

After crying for a while, the emperor suddenly raised his head, looked at the front fiercely, and said three words through gritted teeth: "An Muzhen!"

Dusk was approaching, and An Muzhen was about to carry the chair back.Just when she got up, she heard footsteps in the distance, and then saw the emperor walking towards her quickly.

She thought she was dreaming, and stood there watching the emperor in a daze.

It wasn't until the emperor yelled: "An Muzhen!" She came back to her senses, it wasn't a dream, the emperor really came over.

As the emperor got closer, the expression on his face became more and more clear.He seemed very angry, seeing him like this, An Muzhen instinctively wanted to hide.

But before she started to hide, the emperor had already kicked open the gate of the cold palace.He pinched her neck with one hand, lifted her up high, and then threw her down hard.

"Your Majesty?" An Muzhen raised her head, looking at the Emperor with doubts and fear.

"An Muzhen, I want you not to live, not to die!" The emperor stared viciously at An Muzhen who was on the ground for a few seconds, then quickly turned his eyes away and said to Duke Hua beside him, "Tell Lenggong Nanny, Torture her with cold palace torture until she dies!"

"No!" An Muzhen shook her head in fright when she heard that the emperor was going to torture her in cold palace.

She would rather die than accept the cold palace sentence!

Castration in the cold palace is a nightmare for women in the palace. Only women who have made a big mistake will use castration in the cold palace.

On the first day, all of An Muzhen's hair was pulled out, and the blood on her scalp was shocking.On the second day, An Muzhen's fingernails and toenails were pulled out, and on the third day her teeth and eyes were removed.

On the fourth day, all of An Muzhen's finger and toe joints were broken, on the fifth day her wrist, ankle, and waist were broken, and on the sixth day all her bones were broken.

On the seventh day, An Muzhen was hung in the air, and a court lady below would beat her with a whip soaked in salt water.

"what……"

In the cold palace, An Muzhen's voice became miserable and louder day by day.From the seventh day on, her cry gradually weakened until she could no longer make a sound.
