C59 Sharp King

She sighed and said in a low voice, "This Sharp King is rumored to be Prince Zhao Ren's sole disciple."

"Prince Zhao Ren?" Gu Bi Tong was startled. "Then …" Isn't that the emperor's older brother? "

Mrs Yao nodded and said, "Your father told me about this when he came back, so I'm not too sure. It was said that the previous crown prince had an extremely good reputation. He was a scholar who had great literary talent, was extremely talented, and was also very amiable. He was supported by both the people and the imperial court, and was the favorite son of the previous emperor.

"After the previous Emperor's Dragon took control of the heavens, Prince Zhao Ren should have been able to successfully ascend to the throne, but unfortunately, two days before he ascended the throne, he was thrown off his horse by a crazy, fierce horse and was trampled on by it. His spine was broken, and he was carried back to the crown prince's mansion two days ago."

"His Majesty and Prince Zhao Ren are brothers of the same mother, and they have very deep feelings for each other. Before he passed away, Prince Zhao Ren personally placed the inauguration notice in His Majesty's hands and ordered all his ministers and advisers to do their utmost to help His Majesty ascend to the throne. This is why the world went smoothly."

"That Crown Prince Zhaoren is famous, but he only has his main wife and concubine. After he died, the main wife crashed into a coffin and followed him away. His Majesty originally wanted to take that concubine back to the palace to take care of her, but she disappeared without a trace."

"Some people say that the Imperial Concubine took the crown prince's money and ran away, while others say that she was secretly murdered by the crown prince's enemies. Who knows …"

Lady Yao's mouth went dry and she took a sip of water. Gu Bi Tong was lost in thought and couldn't help but ask, "What happened next?"

"Later." Lady Yao sighed. "His Majesty was moved by the kindness of the previous crown prince and swore to find his last bit of flesh and blood. He sent people to scout the area for many years, thinking that there was no hope at first, but who would've thought that he actually found the crown prince a few years ago?"

"Your father doesn't know the specifics either. He only said that the child was indeed of the late crown prince's lineage. In order to confirm this, the emperor even opened a coffin and engaged the late crown prince. It was a great stir even in the imperial court."

"This …" Isn't that a good thing? Then why is everyone so afraid of that Sharp King? " Gu Bi Tong asked curiously.

That year, he was only fifteen years old when he returned to the imperial court, and coincidentally, he was attacked by the barbarians. He requested to be trained in the army, but the emperor didn't agree to it first, afraid that something would happen to him, but he insisted on going, and I don't know why the child learned all the skills to capture their leader when he was chasing after the barbarians. "" What happened?

"His Majesty the Emperor is overjoyed at the victory of this army and has requested to stay in the army. In the short span of a few years, he has made many meritorious military exploits and his reputation has spread far and wide. In addition, after the recent war, the Emperor has specially given him the position of General Wei Yuan, who can be considered a hot man in the imperial court."

"That powerful?" Gu Bi Tong was flabbergasted.

It is said that this Sharp King is born with a cruel nature. It is said that when he was at the border, he drank wine with his head, was as vicious as a beast, killed and captured people, and bullied men and women. In the short span of a few days that he returned to the imperial court, anyone who talked bad about him behind his back would be killed.

Do you remember Liu Hanlin's family? "Didn't that young lady say that she was the same age as you? I heard that Liu Han Lin said something bad about you after getting drunk, and then the whole family was raided, the males were beheaded, and the females were exiled. Poor young miss Liu, you're exiled to that desolate border, who knows what kind of torture you will suffer, Amitabha."

Lady Yao chanted the Buddhist prayer and her face turned somewhat pale.

Gu Bi Tong's heart palpitated when she heard this. She couldn't help but say, "That King Rui is so savage, does His Majesty not care?"

Lady Yao sighed. "His Majesty is praising Prince Zhao Ren for his kindness and doting towards him, so how could we bear to reprimand him? He has such a strong reputation, so everyone can avoid him now. They'd rather curry favor with him than offend him."

She looked at her daughter's face, which was as beautiful as a flower, and suddenly thought of something, reminding her hurriedly, "Tong'er, you often walk in the palace, but remember, if you meet King Rui, you must definitely avoid him. I heard that the King Rui is only in his twenties, and hasn't gotten married yet, and the empress dowager is giving him a look to see him marry an imperial concubine, don't let him see it."

"Even though Imperial Concubine Shuang is protecting you, with how beautiful you are, if that fiend sees you and personally asks for the emperor's hand in marriage, then even the Empress won't be able to protect you."

"No, I have to go to the palace and inform esteemed wangfei that you shouldn't enter the palace during this period of time, so as to avoid being run over by that person, you should stay at home. It's best if esteemed wangfei asks for orders to settle your relationship with the fifth prince in advance so that you can pass through the gates after you're done!"

She raised her voice and was about to call the maidservant in to change clothes, when Gu Beitong told her mother that Feng Yanyu's personality was very helpless. She hurriedly pulled her aside and said, "Mother, what are you doing? Even if you want to enter the palace, you can't go right now."

Lady Yao was startled and immediately realized that this wasn't the time to enter the palace. Although her elder sister was Imperial Concubine Su, she still had days to enter the palace every month. She couldn't enter as she pleased. She really had lost her head from anxiety.

Looking at her mother's worried expression, Gu Beitang couldn't help but feel discontent. She gently advised, "Mother, don't scare yourself. I've been to the palace so many times, but I've never seen any King Sharp? "I heard that although he was favored by the Emperor, he didn't often enter the palace, so how could he just bump into him? Moreover —"

Her voice changed as her cheeks turned slightly red. "You entered the palace in such a panic and begged esteemed wangfei to fix the marriage. Esteemed wangfei thought I couldn't get married and was in a hurry to find her son?"

Although Imperial Concubine Fu's son, Xiao Yi, was the Fifth Prince and had been bestowed the title of Yan King by the Emperor, her daughter was still a good and wonderful person. Even if she wanted to marry someone, someone else would have to beg for it.

She rubbed her forehead and smiled. "Look at mother, she's getting anxious and confused!"

"I know you are worried about me, so I might as well be more careful in the future. Oh right, Mother, what does that Sharp King look like? When I see him in the future, I will definitely avoid him. "

"What does he look like?" Yao Yuan shook her head and said with a strange expression, "I don't know either. There aren't many people in this world that know what Sharp King looks like."

"Ah, how could that be?" Gu Bi Tong was astonished.

Mrs. Yao sighed, "I heard that he had a bad face when he was young, so he always wore a mask. No one has seen what he looks like, but there is a rumor that he is as ugly as a ghost and brutal.

The empress dowager had once arranged a marriage for him, the daughter of the Huang family in the Ministry of Public Relations. When the young miss Huang heard that she was going to marry him, she threw herself to death at night and almost died.

The empress dowager had a headache over his matter. Speak out, as long as it's a girl that King Ruo has his eyes on, no matter what identity she has, she will give it to him. That's why mother is so worried. "

Mistress Yao looked at her daughter and repeatedly reminded her, "No matter what, when you see the person wearing the mask in the future, you must stay far away from him. Don't let him see you."
