The monarch's heart is heavy to seek reassurance, for fear of touching sorrow to avoid the lover;
The king of Pingxi betrayed the war, the young emperor vows peace.
"Mistress, today the emperors once again turned over the cards that they had promised. The seventh day has already passed." It was late at night and Little Qing was helping Rong'er to change clothes. Rong'er was already six months pregnant. Recently, perhaps it was because of Bei Feng's early death that his spirit and mood had not been too good.
Hearing Xiaoqing's words, Rong'er's heart became bitter, and he only indifferently said, "Is that so?"
"Mistress, are you sad?" Xiaoqing looked at Rong'er and softly said, "If you feel sad, just say so."
"How could that be? Xiaoqing, you're too worried. All of us are pregnant, so we can only agree to make things convenient. It's only right for the Emperor to be pampered." She knew that the Emperor had been upset for four or five days now. Perhaps Ann agreed to that carefree, happy personality, which was exactly what the Emperor wanted right now, and if she couldn't get happy, then she thought about how the Sai Cha was gone, and how Ruo Lan's child was also gone, and how he also had a congenital disease, so she couldn't get happy. She felt that the women in their harem were very pitiful, and she had a faint uneasy feeling, as if this year had been a very difficult one.
"Sigh!" Master! " Xiaoqing sighed softly, but there was nothing she could do.
The empress dowager left behind the empress and Rong'er, and said with a sigh, "On the night of the death of Cha Yin, the emperor came to This Dowager's place late at night to say that he would kill Wu YingXiong as an offering to Cha Hun. This Wu YingXiong is Jianning's father, and the pain that Jianning often feels when he comes to This Dowager's house these few days is excruciating. She said that if Wu YingXiong wanted to flee, he would have been unable to leave if Wu Sangui had taken over Wu Yingxiong. On one side was his own father, and on the other was his filial king. He was in a dilemma, but he still chose to stay. Actually, This Dowager's words also sound reasonable. Ever since Wu YingXiong and Jianning got married, they've been considered pretty, and Jianning is also the daughter of Taizong. How could This Dowager have the heart to let her be a widow so early in the morning?
The empress dowager heaved a sigh of relief and the empress and Rong'er listened quietly. "But this one knows, this one hates the emperor, and if it weren't for the sake of saving Wu Yingxiong, they wouldn't have turned their backs on him. Serenity and my poor great-grandson wouldn't have gotten infected. If we move, we will kill Wu Yingxiong, so you should all try to persuade the Emperor. "
Rong'er and the empress agreed and chatted with the empress dowager for a while longer before they left. The empress dowager looked at the two's stomachs and laughed softly, "Tomorrow at the beginning, don't come pay your respects. Take good care of the baby, I'll pass on everything else to you."
Rong'er and the empress exited the imperial palace. The empress looked at him and said gently, "It's been a few days since the emperor left for my place. Rong'er still needs more consolation."
Rong'er looked up at the empress with a bitter smile and said in a low voice, "It's been a few days since I've seen the emperor, too."
"Ai!" The empress sighed and said nothing, while Rong'er lowered his head.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield in the south, the rebel army of Wu Sangui still played the hymn of victory. Chang De, Yuezhou, Changsha and Hengyang were defeated one after the other. At the end of February, the imperial government was shocked that Sun Yanling, the general of Fujia, had rebelled in Guangxi. This news made the empress dowager extremely angry and pained.
Sun Yat-sen had to mention that after the Manchu troops had entered the city, they had actually conferred the surname of the four kings with the surname of Fan. In addition to Wu Sangui, Zhong Zhongming, and Shang Ke, there was also Kong Youde, the King of the South. After the burning, the imperial court buried Kong Sizhen for his work, and the only surviving daughter of the Kong family, Kong Sizhen, was raised like a real daughter by the empress dowager. Initially, she wanted to take Kong Sizhen as her daughter, but at that time, Shunzhi was obsessed with Dong'e, and the empress dowager couldn't bear to see her in the palace. He wanted to find a good husband for her for the rest of his life. After learning that she had been engaged to marry the son of Kong Youde's grandson, Sun Yan-ling, when they were young, the imperial court conferred Kong Sizhen the title of Princess, the first Chinese prince since Manchu, and married Sun Yan-shi. At the same time, he bestowed Sun Yan-zheng the general of Guangxi, who was to be in charge of the tomato business in Guangxi. The imperial court had always cared for both of them, and now Sun Yan-ling betrayed them in Guangxi, the empress dowager's grief could be imagined.
Not only that, but in early March, the most feared event of the imperial government occurred. The king of Pingxi, Geng Jing-zhong, also called himself a general in Fujian, claiming that he was a great general in military affairs, and that he had accumulated funds in all provinces and counties, and that he was dressed in Chinese clothing, and had made money for the people and treasures. His men quickly captured the whole city of Yan-Ping, Shao-wu, Fu-Ning, and Ting Prefecture, while at the same time, the rebels of Wu San-Gui invaded Jiangxi, and Liu Jingzhong, the general of Tide Prefecture of Guangdong, harassed Guangdong. Geng's betrayal undoubtedly boosted the morale of the rebels. Soon, the generals of Chaozhou, Haicheng, Zhangpu and other provinces and counties in Jiangnan became more and more attached to the rebels.
The south was reporting urgent news to Xuan Ye. The night was as dark as ink as he stood on the platform of the Qian Qing palace. It was early spring at the moment, and the city was still chilly. Xuan Ye looked at the moon in the sky. He thought of the Yuan Dynasty in the Central Plains. The Mongol people had only been in the Central Plains for ninety years, and the Great Qing had only been in the Central Plains for twenty-nine years. Xuan Ye shook his head. I don't want to be the late emperor! Absolutely not! The young emperor's face revealed a trace of determination. He would definitely pacify this internal conflict. Definitely!
"Your majesty!" The eunuch advisor walked up to the emperor and said, "Young Master An has arrived." Xuan Ye turned around and saw that it was Lee An-zhu who had ascended the steps of the platform. He suddenly thought of Rong'er, who seemed to have also been on this platform, and softly consoled him. He had not seen Rong'er for a few days, and he really did miss her, but he did not dare go see her because he suddenly realized how weak he was in front of Rong'er.
"Chenqie kowtows to Your Majesty." A big smile appeared on Lee Anzhu's face. Xuan Ye looked at this smile and thought of Rong'er's light smile, but it was already gone.
"Exempt!" Xuan Ye lightly said.
