Riding the Pheonix Chapter 775: Enemy

Concubine Pei looked at him tenderly and said, "His Royal Highness Prince An will not be able to assume the role of crown prince after suffering such a calamity. The adults thought that the fourth prince was too young and might follow the footsteps of Southern Chu and lose his imperial power. ."

When the emperor heard this, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Sure enough, Concubine Pei continued, "But your Majesty no longer has an adult prince, what should we do? Therefore, someone made a suggestion to make the King of Yue the crown prince..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Wan Dabao suddenly shouted, but saw the emperor's eyes widening and a gurgling sound coming from his throat. He tried his best to stretch out his hand, but couldn't lift it at all. Anger rushed to his forehead and the corners of his mouth suddenly flowed. Bleeding comes.

Zhong Yue was at the door. Hearing the sound, he hurried in.

After seeing this situation, he quickly inserted a few golden needles to temporarily stop the emperor from vomiting blood.

"Quickly prepare the medicine," Zhong Yue asked for the prescription. He took out one of the prescriptions and slightly increased or decreased the amount. "Your Majesty's blood is hot, there is no need to delay!"

Wan Dabao wiped his tears and took the prescription, "We will ask someone to cook it right now."

The emperor watched him leave the hospital bed quickly, and was so angry that he almost bled out again.

Zhong Yue fiddled with the golden needle for a while, and after confirming that his condition had stabilized, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm going to review the prescription. If there are any more changes, your Majesty will call me right away."

Concubine Pei nodded, "Go."

Everyone else had left, and only Concubine Pei was left in front of the hospital bed.

Concubine Pei held the emperor's hand, still looking tender and affectionate, and carefully tucked him in. "Your Majesty, don't worry, Prime Minister Zhang and the others will come to ask for your instructions soon. Alas, this is also There is nothing you can do about it. The eldest prince deposed the prince, the second prince rebelled and was sentenced to death, but Prince An broke his leg again. There are only four or five princes left under your knees. But they are too young to bear the burden. Da Ren, the current chaos in the Southern Chu Dynasty is the best opportunity for Da Qi. The adults are reluctant to let it go, so they want to make the King of Yue their heir."

When she said these words, her expression was gentle, no different from the past, but her eyes no longer showed any trace of affection, like a pool of spring water in the ice and snow, looking weak and clear, but cold to the bone.

The emperor was startled, his eyes opened wider and wider, and his heart slid down into the abyss.

The noble concubine...

Concubine Pei smiled softly and continued, "Don't worry, the King of Yue is young and strong, and has both civil and military skills. He will definitely be able to shoulder the important task. If he can wipe out Southern Chu in one fell swoop and complete the great cause of unification, Emperor Taizu's spirit in heaven will definitely be very pleased. When the old man was alive, this was what he was thinking about. Unfortunately, neither Prince Sihuai nor King Qin and King Jin were saved. In the end, you succeeded. You have been an idle prince since you were a child. How can you compare with growing up in the battle? They succeeded? It took a lot of effort to manage the country like this. There is nothing wrong with not being able to fulfill Emperor Taizu's last wish. It doesn't matter, the King of Yue will help you with these things in the future, so you don't have to worry about it. ."

If at the beginning, the emperor still had hope, Concubine Pei did not do it on purpose. After hearing these words, he had no luck at all.

She did it on purpose!

Concubine Pei smiled, watching his eyes change from shock to anger, to hatred and resentment, her expression remained unchanged and her voice remained soft.

"What does Your Majesty want to say?"

The emperor raised his hand with great effort, pointed at her tremblingly, made two vague sounds in his throat, and finally squeezed out a specious word "You..."

"How am I doing?" Concubine Pei looked at his face carefully and suddenly sighed, "Your Majesty is much older! I remember when we first met at Zhegui Tower, you pretended to be the prince of Wen Guogong, but you were really young and romantic. . In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed. His Majesty is getting old, and so am I."

Concubine Pei reached out and touched her face. Her expression was warm and soft under the light, as if spring water was flowing, and she was lost in memories.

"A Jing and I met when we were fifteen years old. On Daughter's Day that year, he gave me a flower by the water. To this day, I still remember the way he gave me the flower. The boy was shy and his ears were red. After waiting for two years, we finally got married. Unfortunately, the relationship between husband and wife was shallow, and he left after only one year."

Concubine Pei looked down at the emperor, the affection in her eyes fading away in an instant.

She said lightly, "Has your Majesty ever heard of a sentence? The hair is as white as new and the cover is as old as before. Some people have lived together for a lifetime and are no different from strangers. And some people, as long as their eyes meet, they are like strangers. I can never forget it for the rest of my life."

The emperor was speechless, he could only make a roaring sound in his throat, and his eyes were about to burst with anger.

Why? He shouted in his heart, why?

How could he feel sorry for her? Give her love, give her status, and give her everything you can give her. For her sake, even allowing that boy to live, isn't that enough?

Has she always been a lie in front of him for so many years? Are all those tender touches and lingering affection all fake?

"Your Majesty, do you think you are very kind to me?" Concubine Pei nodded, "Yes, it is indeed very good. I am the most favored concubine in the harem. She has been in the palace for twenty-three years and has been in great power. You will never be less favored. No matter the queen and concubine Hui who accompanied you when you were young, or the delicate beauties who later entered the palace, they are not as favored as your concubines. But, have you forgotten..."

She leaned forward, looked at the emperor's old face calmly, and said word by word, "You are my concubine's enemy!"

The emperor gritted his teeth tightly, almost wanting to make a sound - this was of course his illusion. In fact, he didn't even have the strength to grit his teeth, and his upper and lower teeth just collided due to trembling.

Concubine Pei no longer had a smile on her face and looked at him coldly.

The emperor had a feeling in a trance, as if he had gone back more than twenty years in time, back to the time when she was Princess Yongxi. ~IndoMTL.com~ At that time, she married the emperor's eldest grandson and became his niece-in-law.

When she looked at him, she looked like this, polite but cold.

He is just an idle king, but she is the royal concubine of the emperor's eldest grandson. If nothing unexpected happens, she will become the crown prince or even the queen in the future.

Although he is an uncle, his status is far inferior to her husband.

The feeling of being far away kept him awake day and night.

Until later, she became a widow and lost her support.

When they met again, he had already ascended the throne and could finally lower his head to look down at her and take her into his palm.

For him, getting this woman seemed to get rid of the days when he had bowed his eyebrows and bowed his head, and this brought him a great sense of satisfaction.

What's more, she is beautiful and noble, talented and knowledgeable. She is the most outstanding woman selected by her father from all the ladies in the Qi Kingdom.

Unlike his queen, she only became Princess Zhao with a little credit from her ancestors.

Many times, he looked at her child and thought in his heart, if it was born to him and her, even if he risked the power of the world, he would abolish the elder and establish the younger, leaving the throne to him.

But he is not.

He is the child of her ex-husband, whom she hates.

The better he is, the more it seems like a mockery.

You laugh at yourself, even the children you give birth to are so stupid.
