==Chapter 62 Tribute==

When the oil lamp burned out, it was still dark, the room was gray and blue, and there was a dampness in the air, as if a heavy rain was brewing.

Xiao Yu woke up from his dream, closed his eyes and rubbed his chest, and quickly looked at the person beside his pillow.

‌‌ Qin Hua’s temples were covered with fine beads of sweat. She put her hand on her lower abdomen and murmured in a low voice, brother.

Xiao Yu frowned.

The look in her eyes was wrong.

He reached out and pressed her shoulders and said: "Aling, look at me."

Her eyes were empty and dull, and she seemed to be still immersed in a dream. Xiao Yu said: "Aling, wake up."

As if she didn't listen, Qin Juan muttered very softly: "It hurts."

Then he closed his eyes.

Xiao Yu's back froze when he saw what she was doing. Could it be that she was also dreaming about what happened in the past?

Xiao Yu reached out to touch her.

My hands were hot, but my body was shaking violently.

He covered her with the quilt, turned around and said outside: "Here comes someone!"

Eunuch Sheng outside the door was startled. He immediately turned around, pushed the door open and walked in. He bowed and said, "My servant is here."

Xiao Yu said: "Pass on the Imperial Physician."

Eunuch Sheng glanced at Qin Jieyu, who was lying in the emperor's arms, and then said with panic on his face, "I will call Ning Yuanzheng to come over."

After a while, Ning Yuan hurried over. He put the medicine box on the ground, straightened his skewed black gauze hat, and said, "I pay my respects..."

"Excuse me." Xiao Yu looked at him and said, "Come and check your pulse."

Ning Yuan took a few steps forward and put the handkerchief on Qin Jie's wrist. He couldn't help but said: Qin Jieyu is really worried and sick. She is poisoned and dizzy. Unfortunately, I don’t know how many times this happened.

But don't mention it, ‌'s delicate body has always been easy to win over the emperor.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yu said.

"Jieyu's face is red and her body is hot. Looking at her pulse, it seems that it is caused by acute fire attacking ‌." Ning Yuan Zheng added, "‌ acute fire mostly refers to liver fire ‌ fire."

"When will you wake up?"

Ningyuan Zhengdao: "Generally speaking, people who wake up from coma caused by acute fire can wake up within a few minutes. I will prescribe one prescription to reduce the fever first, and after the fever subsides, I will prescribe two prescriptions to remove the fever. Slow tune..."

Xiao Yu seemed to be unable to listen to what Ning Yuan said later. His eyes fell on Qin Chan's belly and he fell into a long silence.

In the dream, her stomach kept hurting.

After the court, Xiao Yu returned to Jingren Palace and stayed with Qin Juan all morning. After taking medicine, his body fever also subsided, but there was no sign of waking up.

After noon, Eunuch Sheng bowed and reported, "Your Majesty, it was Aunt Lu Zhi from Xianfu Palace who presented it to me."

This is a green aunt who was sent to Xianfu Palace by the emperor. Her purpose is to monitor Concubine Xue. Every day, what Concubine Xue said and did, and whether there was any incident in April with outsiders. Say, no matter the details.

But Xiao Yu couldn't care less about Xianfu Palace's affairs now. He waved his hand and said, "Just watch."

Eunuch Sheng said again: "Master Xue sent a letter to Concubine Xue yesterday. After Concubine Xue read it, she drank a lot of peach blossom wine and said some words. Your Majesty, please read it."

Xiao Yu took it.

——“In this matter, I was the one who wronged Qin Jieyu.”

——"This matter is full of coincidences and doubts, but I have no intention of trapping the concubine. I have good intentions."

——"I know that my temper is not liked by His Majesty, but I am trying to restrain myself. Since Concubine Li cried to me three years ago, she said that she has always been the target and the one who suffers the consequences. That ‌, I, what did I say, it was better, I was confused after drinking..."

Xiao Yu saw the last sentence at a glance.

Xiao Yu raised his eyes and looked at Gong Sheng: "Three years ago, when?"

Eunuch Sheng bowed and said: "I asked Shi Qingyue of Xianfu Palace. She said that Concubine Li came to cry with Concubine Xue in the early August of the first year of Yanxi. After that, Xian There has indeed never been any trouble in Fu Palace and Changchun Palace."

The focus of this statement is obviously not on the friendship between Xianfu Palace and Changchun Palace, but on time.

In August of the first year of Yanxi, it was just before the queen gave birth to the prince.

At that time, the Su family had rebelled against the country, the queen was in a difficult situation, Su Huaian was in the hands of the Xue family, and Concubine Li had surrendered to Xue Lanyi.

‌Looking from Li Yuan’s perspective, ‌Xue Lanyi was provoked by ‌ and was overwhelmed by jealousy. She asked Xue Xiangyang for two pieces of Su Huaian’s nails and sent them to Kunning without anyone noticing. Let’s go to the palace. It’s unclear whether the eldest prince can come down. Xie Shi's hands were still clean.

No one in the harem is really a fool. If Xue Lanyi was really drunk, she would not be able to say what she said. She was using Li Yuan to show her loyalty.

Xiao Yu sneered, stood up, and said: "Show me in Changchun Palace."

************

The sound of the falling chariot sounded, and the eunuchs of the Changchun Palace knelt on the ground and said in unison: "The slaves have passed by Your Majesty."

Concubine Li hurriedly walked out and said politely: "Your Majesty, be safe."

Xiao Yu strode into the hall with a stern look, waving his hand to reject everyone.

The emperor didn't wake up for a long time, so Li Yuan naturally didn't dare to get up. She felt uneasy and didn't know why the emperor came today.

Xiao Yu leaned on the chair, looked at Li Yuan, and thought about everything in his dream.

Xiao Yu said: "Ms. Li, how did the queen treat you in the past?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but make a thud.

Li Yuan said: "The queen is kind and has always treated her concubines with utmost care." After so many years, he still called her queen.

"I have just reviewed the history of Xianfu Palace." Xiao Yu said solemnly: "You have been living in the darkest place for many years, so I look down on you."

Li Yuan knelt on the ground with a pop, "I am stupid, I hope your majesty will make it clear."

Xiao Yu looked at her intently, "What did I tell you four years ago?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuan's temples couldn't help but buzz, and she raised her eyes to look at him.

Four years ago.

Her mother once told her that all men in positions in the world are the same. They hold great power, are good at grabbing, and enjoy all kinds of beauties and bodies as they please. .

The same is true for his father. Even though her mother is gentle and docile and beautiful, the flowers in his arms will never end.

She only received favors from men at night or in rewards, so she had no worries about going to Beijing until she met the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty.

She will never forget the first time he entered Changchun Palace and walked towards her.

She is tall and straight, with a graceful appearance. This is a magnanimity she has never experienced before.

Full of joy, she waited on him and became his lover.

Unexpectedly, after looking forward to and dressing up every night, what came out was an imperial edict, and a sentence: Do not tell others about the affairs of the Changchun Palace.

When she got the imperial edict, she seemed to be dumbfounded. She was humiliated, puzzled, aggrieved and everything, but there was no trace of guilt in his eyes.

After that, Concubine Xue ridiculed her, and the Empress Dowager praised her openly and secretly. She was criticized by the public for her nihilistic favor.

And what she got in exchange was a reward like flowing water from an emperor.

It's just a reward that you can't take away even if you die.

"Your Majesty! I am definitely not an unpredictable person." Li Yuan's tears rolled down her face. "Four years ago, Concubine Xue couldn't stand my concubine and made things difficult for me. Your Majesty did the same. You see, my concubine said that because she felt wronged."

"Aggrieved?" Xiao Yu looked at her and said sternly: "You know best how much the annual tribute will be. I am concerned about the poverty of the small country and the sparse population. I will help you develop agriculture and exempt you from the two-year annual tribute. , you have been treated extremely favorably, how can you have the face to talk to me about your grievances!"

The man's eyes were cold, as if he was asking her, are you more valuable than hundreds of beauties, more valuable than a thousand taels of gold, or more than a hundred pieces of silk?

Concubine Li fell to the ground, swaying back and forth.

The beauty shed tears and was about to weep. She cried out: "Concubine Xue has repeatedly made things difficult for me. Because she is a member of the Xue family, Your Majesty can handle her with ease. I am nothing to His Majesty." , a tribute?"

Xiao Yu said: "If you were honest, I would not treat you badly and we would not be here today."

"But what did my concubine do?" Li Yuan believed that what she did had long since disappeared with Su Ling's death, and no one would know about it anymore.

"You know it clearly."

Xiao Yu was fair to Sheng Gong: "Li's skills were not correct and contrary to women's ethics, so she was stripped of her position as concubine. She immediately moved out of Changchun Palace and gave her the Shuyuan Garden."

Li Yuan was stunned in place, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

Just because of a complaint, you will be deprived of your concubine position?

Looking at the emperor's back, Li Yuan's breath froze.

If she had not experienced the emperor's grace, perhaps she would not be so unwilling.

She has seen the appearance of the Forbidden City countless times in paintings, and the beautiful collection of books is described as "the pavilion is made of jade, and the walls are decorated with corridors." But when she was here, she felt its magnificence with her own eyes. , only to realize that such a description is not an exaggeration.

When they first arrived in the Zhou Dynasty, Concubine Liu and Concubine Xue had not yet entered the palace. She knew that His Majesty had a queen whom he loved very much.

I heard that the queen is the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, the emperor's first wife, and she has his first child in her belly.

He really took all the good fortune in the world. she thinks.

The noble queen is very nice to others and does not restrain her very much. She can wander around the imperial garden with her attendants.

She once met the Emperor and Empress on a spring night, and the palace maid beside her kept saying to her, "My Lady, don't go there, those are His Majesty and the Queen."

I remember that it rained heavily that night and the night wind was cold. The emperor's cloak fell on the person. He put his arm around her shoulders and leaned forward to whisper.

The distance was so far that she couldn't hear what they were talking about, and she felt that the corners of her robe were covered with laughter.

This was the first time she knew that the emperor's favor could be like that.

Even the umbrella in his hand would tilt towards her, even half of his arms were wet without even realizing it.

Concubine Li laughed while crying.

Look, when he was a king, he was completely different from when he was a husband.

The Su family was traitorous to the country, and he was reluctant to depose her to the throne.

Concubine Li stood up suddenly and shouted at his back: "She died not because of me, but even the imperial doctor knew that it was because she didn't want to live anymore."

Xiao Yu paused.

Eunuch Sheng whispered: "Your Majesty, do you still have anyone left?"

"No stay."
