The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Yulan's belly is getting bigger and bigger. This year is the year of the draft. According to the royal rules, the daughters of the official family must go through the draft to enrich the court, and then the remaining girls in the draft can be born on their own.

Marriage. Because of Xiao Huang

The Queen Mother still had no heirs, and the Queen Mother wanted to select a group of high-quality palace maids to enrich the harem. However, after the Ministry of Etiquette handed over the brochure, the young emperor said that the front soldier was Jing, and he was not in the mood to draft, and asked the young ladies of the right age from each house to marry on their own.

.

Some ministers who had outstanding girls in their families originally thought that the little emperor's harem would be empty, so they wanted to send their daughters to the palace to achieve success. The little emperor's wish really disappointed most people.

Although Xichang spies were everywhere, monitoring the words and deeds of the officials and common people, and the little emperor occupied the regent princess, the story of his biological aunt still quietly spread among the capital.

When the weather was the hottest in June, news came from outside the palace. The former prince, now Shun Wang Ye Minshu, had died! The official statement was that he was seriously ill, and he died young because of insufficient treatment. Secretly, there was another story circulating.

Legend: King Shun died on the woman's belly after taking an overdose of aphrodisiacs and overindulging in lust!

Yulan was confined to Yangxingzhai, and the news was very slow. It took a few days for the news to be known. Ye Minshu was not taken seriously when he was alive, but after his death, his affairs were quite prosperous. Ye Minzhao ordered the current clan to order

Ye Fengqi personally presided over the funeral ceremony of King Shun, and personally issued an order, allowing Ye Minshu to be buried as a prince, with the posthumous title of "Yin", and he was called Prince Yin!

Ye Minzhao became more and more experienced in politics and expressed great sorrow for the death of Prince Yin. His love for his brother was beyond words, and he was praised by all officials, both civil and military. And a truly smart person will naturally understand that the little emperor felt so much for this former

He was happy to see the death of the prince, and was even suspected of contributing to his death.

However, Yulan was very worried about the current situation of her eighth sister Yuxin. A young girl who was less than twenty years old was left a widow like this. She had no children to rely on, and she would definitely not be able to remarry in the future. How would such a life be like?

Get on with it!

Yulan thought about it. The little emperor once came to Yangxingzhai to see her, and she couldn't help but tell the little emperor about it. Ye Minzhao thought for a while and said: "Since you are so worried about your mother's family, why don't I take care of it?"

She was brought into the palace so that you sisters could meet her!"

"How is this possible? There are no such rules in the palace!" Ye Minshu is still resting in Prince Shun's Mansion, and the funeral has not ended yet. As a widow, Yuxin has an ominous body. According to the rules, she cannot enter the palace.

of.

"What are the rules? The rules are not made by humans! My words are the rules. If I say it's okay, then it's okay!" Ye Minzhao himself didn't notice how domineering his words were, but they were so natural. He and

The average ancient man is completely different. He does not respect his ancestors or believe in ghosts and gods. Instead, he has strong and unlimited confidence in himself!

In the evening of the same day, Xiao Hanzi was ordered to leave the palace and took Yuxin to Yangxingzhai in a small sedan. This time the two sisters wanted to see each other in the palace, but they could only sigh.

Since Yu Lan entered the palace, she has not seen any of her parents' family members. Yu Lan saw that although Yu Xin was dressed plainly, she seemed to be in good spirits, so she put her heart into her stomach.

Yu Lan directly said to the palace maids in the room: "You all go down!" He sent all the messengers down so that he could talk to Yu Xin.

Yuxin looked at Yulan's swollen belly and was stunned for a while. It took her a long time to say: "It's so soon?"

Yu Lan reached out and touched her belly, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "What nonsense are you talking about? This child belongs to the prince!"

Yuxin took a breath. "Let me tell you, you shouldn't be that kind of person!"

Yulan held her hand, and the two sisters sat next to each other on the imperial concubine's couch. Yulan asked her, "What are people saying about me now?"

Yuxin has a straightforward personality and a clear distinction between love and hate. She thought for a while and said: "I can say anything, but none of it is good anyway! What kind of beauty is a disaster, a witch who is a disaster to the country... No one knows that you are pregnant now, if this is the case

Once word spreads out, I’m not sure how to organize you!”

Yulan was startled for a while after hearing this. The ancients valued honor and integrity. There was an example in the capital. A young lady from an official family was kidnapped by robbers and did not lose her virginity. However, in order to maintain the dignity of the family, her relatives forced the girl to hang herself.

She committed suicide. She had been living in the palace for several months. She said she had nothing to do with the little emperor. Who would believe it? Even if the prince came back alive, would he still accept her?

Yuxin asked: "Do you have any plans in the future?"

Yulan shook his head: "I don't have any ideas right now. I just want to give birth to the child in my belly safely!"

"Is he good to you?" Yuxin asked suddenly.

"Who?" Yulan realized after saying this word, Yuxin was referring to Ye Minzhao.

"It's not bad! In addition to not letting me leave the palace, everything else is available to me!"

Yuxin gritted her teeth and persuaded her: "Since he is okay with you, just let her go. You don't have to care about those three obediences and four virtues. The key is to live a good life! Besides, wait for the future.

You are a noble concubine, an imperial concubine, who dares to mention these things in front of you! He dares to risk the disapproval of the world and get you into the palace at the cusp of the storm, which shows that he has you in his heart!"

Yu Lan was moved in her heart. Yu Xin was willing to say these words, which showed that she really thought about herself. She patted her sister's hand and shook her head: "I can't do it. It's not for those false reputations. The way the prince treats me

Well, I will never forget it! I believe that the prince is not dead, and one day he will definitely come back to me!"

Yuxin hated her for not arguing: "It's been almost half a year, and there's no news at all! You're still waiting here! You're so stupid!" After a pause, she sighed again: "Actually, to be honest, I

I really envy you, there is someone worth waiting for!"

Yu Lan smiled and changed the topic: "Don't talk about me. I invited you in this time to ask how you are doing?"

"I'm fine!" Yuxin relaxed when talking about herself. "It's easier for him to die than to live. Now I feel relaxed! There is no such thing to disgust me. I sleep well and eat well."

I've lost my appetite. If so many people weren't watching, I would have laughed a few times."

Yulan couldn't help but hold Yuxin's hand tightly. Yuxin said these words lightly, but they revealed so much bitterness! Yuxin's life was so bitter!

"Are those rumors outside true? How did he die?"

"It's all true! That day, under the instigation of the eunuch, he took an overdose of aphrodisiacs. Later, he called all the concubines in the palace and had sex with them one by one... He was so tormented that he would die.

Sooner or later, it's either today or tomorrow!" Yu Xin's tone was cold, and she couldn't hear any fluctuations. She felt sick just thinking about that kind of lewd scene. She really wanted Ye Minshu to die as soon as possible!

Yu Lan couldn't help but shuddered. Ye Minshu had gone crazy. A lunatic could not be responsible for what he had done, and the little emperor's scheming behind it was really terrifying.

Yuxin sneered and said, "Don't you know, the last woman he was lucky enough to see before his death was our fifth sister!"

"Ah?" This is the first time Yulan has heard about this. "How could it be her? How is she doing now?"

"What else can I do? He's dead! Ye Minshu died on her belly, do you think she can survive? After all, he is the emperor's brother." There was no gloating in Yuxin's tone, but a hint of schadenfreude.

A touch of loneliness, she and Yuxia have been fighting for half their lives, and there is no winner between them!

"At that time, Ye Minshu's area was full of blood, and the fifth sister was so frightened." Yuxin also had a look of disgust when she said this. "Later, after she went back to freshen up, she came over to beg me and hugged my legs.

I saved her life. I told her that no one could save her.

.I didn’t lie to her. After the prince’s death, the emperor issued an order that all the concubines in the prince’s palace should be sacrificed for the prince! They were all strangled to death by the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!” Sacrifice is a living person.

It was extremely cruel to be buried as a sacrifice, and Yulan almost vomited when she heard this.

This method of burial was abolished in the previous dynasty. Why did the little emperor suddenly kill these young women brutally? Then she understood that it was not that the little emperor valued Ye Minshu as his brother. He was clearly killing people.

Silence!

Her voice trembled slightly: "What about her?"

"She was quite sensible. After she left my place, she hanged herself when she returned home! Because she died early, the emperor did not pursue her charges and did not let her be buried by the prince. I just informed the Yang family to collect the body. Our

Father, but died

She refused to come alive. I had to ask someone to buy a coffin and find a place to bury her. If there is no incense in the future, she can only blame herself!" She made no secret of her contempt for her father, "He used to treat us badly.

How good the fifth sister is!"

Yuxin sneered, "You probably don't know that after moving out of the palace, the Yang family has never visited her once. Not even her brothers. Human relationships are cold and warm, and the world is cold. It's really cold! But these people

, they are our blood relatives again!"

Chengye is a loser, so Yu Lan is not surprised that he can do such a thing. "I think it must be very difficult for the fifth sister."

"She is also to blame for herself. If she hadn't been bent on climbing this high tree and trying to step on me at every turn, with her father's love for her back then, he would definitely find her a husband who would be her wish, and it would be a thousand times better than what she is now.

!”

The two sisters were relatively speechless. They couldn't help but think of the past, when they were still in the Yang family, Yuxia was so domineering. She probably didn't expect that her ending would be so tragic.

As for them, they have been deeply involved in the struggle of grudges in the palace. What will be their ending? They all fell into a long silence, and the only mechanical sound left in the room was the clicking of the chiming clock.

Ye Minshu's death did not cause much turmoil in the capital. His disgraceful death added to the conversation after dinner. The real big shots in the temple would not do it for him, a person with a false name and no political value.

Give up unnecessary care.

After learning the news of Yuxia's death, Yulan felt miserable for many days. She didn't pity Yuxia. For Yuxia to have such an ending, she could blame no one but herself! She felt that life was impermanent and

The road ahead is bleak.

The little emperor tried every means to please her, and even Sister Zhu stopped being naughty in front of her for the first time. In this kind of dependent environment, her daughter also grew up at an extremely fast speed and gradually became sensible. Although Yu Lan has always been

She hoped that Pearl would become sensible soon, but she didn't want to see such a process. She felt deeply sorry for her daughter!

The war between Da Chu and Shu Han entered a stalemate, and the navies of the two countries launched repeated battles over the control of the Yangtze River. For some reason, the troops of Shu Han seemed to have suddenly lost their spirituality. Although Wang Xingyi hurriedly led the army to retreat,

Arriving at Jiangbei to set up defenses, the Shu Han's dominant navy failed to gain an advantage in a series of small battles, and Wang Xingyi gradually stabilized his position.

Ye Minzhao did not know that this was because the Shu Han army lacked the leadership of Liu Zhang. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, another secret report came that Ye Minyu in the northwest was not honest and was recruiting troops semi-openly to expand his territory.

The little emperor sent several secret instructions to Xie Zhiyuan, asking him to mobilize all his forces and delay Ye Minyu's eastward invasion at all costs. Immediately afterwards, he sent civil servants and generals to set up defense lines in Gannan and Ningxia in western Shanxi to strengthen the defense of the soldiers.

train.

The imperial court was plagued by internal and external troubles, but Ye Minzhao enjoyed unparalleled happiness every day in the boring government affairs. It was the sweet taste that power brought to him, and the feeling of controlling everyone's destiny made people obsessed, and it was incomparable to anything else.

Incomparable.

At this moment, the country of Shu Han was also in turmoil. Liu Zhang personally presided over the arrest operation. The news they received showed that Ye Yichen was still in Shu Han, and no matter how they searched, he seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. No matter how hard Liu Zhang tried, he just disappeared.
