Emperor Jin

Chapter 140

She said it with deep resentment, her black and angry eyes were blurred, and when she turned her head to look at the emperor, she tried her best not to let the tears fall——

"You only came to blame me today, isn't it too late? You were clearly deceived by her, but in the end, it was my fault?!"

"You should understand... I'm just playing tricks and eliciting her real purpose."

The emperor was slightly moved, but he still said in a deep voice: "Did you forget the assassination at the New Year's Eve banquet—who dares to put such a woman in the bed?!"

The queen was stunned, not daring to say anything: "She sent those assassins?"

The emperor snorted coldly, and said: "In Southern Tang, she can completely control the decisions of the king of Tang, and even the poisonous sects are also funded by her—do you really think I am addicted to lust?"

The queen was afraid for a while—she sent He Yuan to make friends with those assassins at that time, but she never found out who the masterminds were.

The emperor said again: "I don't blame you for bringing her in. This girl is gentle and kind, and anyone can easily fall for her. It's just that you have worked so hard to teach her how to play the flute. Be careful, you and I both know why!"

The empress was discouraged for a moment, only regret and anger remained in her heart, but the emperor looked at her deeply, and sighed: "I know your thoughts, you deliberately want to overwhelm Xianfei and Yinghua, as a middle palace, mother Yi Tianxia, ​​don’t you think it’s inappropriate to use such a dishonorable method?”

The voice of this sentence was very low, not very harsh, but full of disappointment and impatience. The queen couldn't bear it anymore, she turned her head and closed her eyes. Voice.

The emperor smiled wryly, "You were not like this before..."

His eyes are far away, as if immersed in the beauty of the past, "When we first met you, you said fiercely: If you dare to empathize with someone else, you have to wear a few holes in my body...you are so fierce... Staring at me, I felt as if I had been bewitched, obsessed with you. But later, you told me that in order to link up the power of the Yun family, you must marry the daughter of the Yun family—all of this was your fault. Don’t you think it’s unfair that you chose to blame me now?”

The queen gritted her teeth and said, "But I didn't let you marry one after another, and I didn't let you spend every night with that little girl Xu Yinghua, and never miss leaving!"

"Once the balance is broken, marriages from aristocratic families will only come one after another... It is impossible for famous families and nobles to be willing to be excluded from power. They can only send their own clan daughters into the palace. In this regard, you are making Fang Wanqing You should have realized it when you brought it into the palace... As for Yinghua, "

The emperor smiled wryly, and said resolutely: "Among all the beautiful women who entered the palace, she is the most pleasing to my eyes. At least, she knows how to advance and retreat."

"You... fell in love with her?"

The queen's voice trembled slightly at this moment. Even such an outstanding woman became anxious about her gains and losses in the face of such a question.

"No... Although she is good, she is not the one I like."

"So...do you still love me?"

When the queen quietly asked this sentence, everything in the palace was silent at this moment.

A long silence.

After a long time, the emperor said in a low voice: "All along, you are the only one in my heart."

The queen's phoenix eyes, at this moment, glowed again, shining like stars.

"But……"

The emperor sighed, "What I love is the fresh you in the past, the one who splashed me with water, the heroic you who blasted the river stones apart in danger, and even the one who threatened me not to marry a concubine." You, not... like you are now, plotting everyone up and down, making the whole palace terrified because of you, like seeing eagles and vultures."

Now that he was talking about this, he simply said again: "When I was not in Beijing, the anger you had with a few cabinet ministers has not been resolved until now. Now that Li Ying is living at home, the entire Imperial College has to worry about it. He complained... Wan Zhi, let others be a little bit more, okay?"

He was almost exhausted physically and mentally when he spoke, his voice faded away, faintly like drag marks on the painting, and in the end, he disappeared without a trace, the empress only felt a surge of excitement in her heart, as if the blood in her whole body was about to boil!
She couldn't bear it anymore, she threw up her sleeves, and Yu Ruyi on the table fell to the ground and shattered instantly!

"You want me to give in, but you don't ask if they have given me some room?! They all seem to be humble, but they have ulterior motives. If I give in, they will come up step by step! In the final analysis, They don't want to see a woman meddling in government affairs!"

She yelled almost out of control, her voice was so hoarse that it seemed like petals were crushed and scattered.

"And you...you can't forget the past! Those past..."

She gritted her teeth, her eyes almost burst into flames, but in the end, they gradually dimmed, like a cooling magma, and what was left in the end was nothing but stagnant water and sinking stones.

She smiled softly, her laughter was desolate and even more mysterious——

"The 'Once Upon a Time' you want has long been in vain, and it is impossible to recover—you give up!"

She sneered, as if she was about to shake off something, she flicked her sleeves, and turned to the inner hall with crystal cruelty in her eyes.

The emperor stood quietly, looking at the direction she was going away, and remained silent for a long time. After a long while, he lowered his head and let a sigh turn into a lump in his chest.

****
When the emperor returned to the Qianqing Palace, the inside had been thoroughly cleaned. The brand new red satin brocade carpet was fragrant and fragrant, and there was no trace of the previous bloody smell. The emperor watched the leader of the imperial army come to report back with his hands behind his back, and saw He Yuan shrinking back to this side Look, I couldn't help but said angrily: "What are you doing there, there is something going on in the palace and you can't see your shadow!"

He Yuan saw that his face was not looking good, so he carefully considered: "My humble minister is stupid... Dare I ask Long Live, what should I do with the body of this slut who killed the king?"
