【Episode 52】The Autumn of the Brilliant Red Lock Palace Outside the Window

Dou Xunen clearly knew that Ning Zheng had fought for the position of the chief general in the battle of the Northern Territory for a long time, and the matter had been decided two months ago. But just because Dou Xunen wanted to seize military merits, Emperor Ming gave him such an opportunity.

Although Ning Zheng was only the king of a small vassal state at that time, he was always superior to the princes with the favor of Emperor Ming and Empress Ma since childhood. When he was accused of being the king of the emperor, although he was dissatisfied with Emperor Ming as a fief of a small town like Poyang, he always felt that this might be Emperor Ming training him.

He looked down on his brother Ning Xiu, who was born with his same mother, and did not think that Ning Xiu would always occupy the position of crown prince. Because with Ning Xiu's ordinary talent in governing the country, Ning Zheng felt that sooner or later, Emperor Ming would depose Ning Xiu's position as crown prince and change him, who was also born as the legitimate son, to become the crown prince. He believed that the reason why Emperor Ming drove him to Poyang was to allow him to experience setbacks and better welcome the position of crown prince.

He obeyed the virtues of Emperor Ming and worked hard to do practical things. In order to get Emperor Ming to order him to be transferred back to the capital to live, he personally asked to fight against the Huns, and his determination to make achievements was clear and firm.

Unexpectedly, such an opportunity was taken away by Dou Xunen.

Since Dou Xunen's return, Emperor Ming seemed to have not paid much attention to Ning Zheng as usual. On the contrary, Emperor Ming devoted a lot of thought to Dou Xunen, as if he had the intention to pave the way for him and establish him as the crown prince.

This made Ning Zheng, who had always believed that he could get the position of the Eastern Palace, panic. He began to feel that Dou Xunen was annoying and felt that he was about to take everything from him.

When he learned that his brother, Ning Xiu, wanted to attack Cao, Ning Zheng had a plan in his heart. He loved Cao but could not get it, and he was already jealous and hatred. Now Dou Xunen intends to take away his glory, so he naturally has no intention of classmates and friends.

Naturally, he was reluctant to let Ning Xiu take action against Cao, so he went to the Eastern Palace to pay homage to the prince and told him about his plan.

Ning Xiu praised his plan, but he felt it was still wonderful.

The two brothers colluded.

Ning Zheng and Dou Xunen have a good relationship, and everyone in the capital knows it.

Cao Xiu met him in Chang'an again. He thought he was a close friend, so he never took any precautions. At that time, Dou Xun was accompanying him, so she was invited to leave.

Unexpectedly, Ning Zheng used Dou Xunen's name to invite Cao Xiu to a restaurant and inn, and put a date in her soup and vegetables. He was lost in Dou Xunen, who was also invited, as well as Bi Yun and several servants who were accompanied by her.

Cao Xiu's body was so violent and unbearable that the medicine of love was the ignorant general Ning Zheng mistakenly thought it was Dou Xunen, and under his step-by-step induced, he lost his innocence.

When the effect of her body subsided, she opened her eyes with soreness and found herself lying naked in Ning Zheng's arms, with a mess on the bed and bedding, and it was very dirty.

Such a disastrous defeat made her feel like she was shattered and she wanted to die to show her ambition.

She suddenly felt that Ning Zheng was disgusting and disgusting.

After Ning Zheng woke up, he saw that he was heartbroken and immediately vowed to marry her and never let her suffer any grievances.

After Cao Xiu, who was so sensual, woke up, he knew that Ning Zheng’s invitation yesterday was not because of Dou Xunen, but all this was just a plan set by him.

If Cao Xiu hadn't had Dou Xunen's son at that time, she would have hoped that she would have died immediately after touching the pillar.

She had made a decision in her heart that when she gave birth to a fetus in her belly, she would commit suicide immediately and would never surrender to Ning Zheng for a lifetime.

However, Ning Zheng's despicableness could make her do what she wanted.

The second day after the incident, the incident between her and Ning Zheng spread all over the city.

Although Cao Xiu and Dou Xunen did not have a marriage ceremony, almost everyone in Luoyang City knew that they had been determined to have their lives and would get married soon.

Now, the news of her slutty with the King of Huai was heard. This incident reached Emperor Ming's ears, which naturally made him furious.

Emperor Ming loved Dou Yue the most in his life and was also favored by Dou Xunen. If he hadn't been wandering outside, he would have been the crown prince. He suddenly heard that Cao Xiu, who had already married Dou Xunen, had actually had a private relationship with Ning Zheng. He did not know how to check the matter, so he could not bear the anger and hurriedly summoned Cao Xiu into the palace and asked him why.

Cao Xiu cried and told Emperor Ming about the whole story, and wanted to hit the pillar in court to show his ambition.

Emperor Ming hurriedly stopped her and personally asked a medical officer to treat her. Only then did he realize that she was more than a month pregnant.

At this time, the wood was already in its boat. Although Cao Xiu's fetus was the son of Dou Xunen, the world who was blinded by rumors did not know about this. If Emperor Ming covered up the scandal for her, marrying Dou Xunen in the future would still bring shame to him.

How can there be a method of two goals in this world?

Emperor Ming saw that Cao Xiu was both mentally damaged and despair was unbearable. His body became thinner and his heart became more anxious.

The only solution was to let Cao Xiu marry into the Huai Prince's Mansion as a concubine, and declared to the public that Cao Xiu and Dou Xunen became brothers and sisters and lived in the Dou Mansion. It was all because of the old lady of the Dou Mansion, and she and the Huai Prince had their own marriage since childhood.

But if this is true, at that time, when Dou Xunen returns, he may have caused trouble in the capital.

Emperor Ming had no choice. When he summoned Ning Zheng, he regretted him and didn't know how to blame him. After all, whether Cao's innocence was forcibly defiled by his design can no longer be verified.

Both sides are his beloved sons. If they are slightly biased, it seems unfair to either side.

But Emperor Ming only forgot to consider the feelings of Cao, but was just entangled in how to deal with Cao and how to calm the dispute between the two sons?

Finally, after Emperor Ming weighed the pros and cons, he ordered the marriage to Cao and Ning Zheng, and persuaded Cao to consider the fetus in his womb and not to act irritably.

Cao Xiu was even more desperate and did not even want to give birth to a child. He jumped into the lake and committed suicide, resisting the emperor's marriage.

At this moment, war was reported urgently from the northern border, and his letter said that General Dou Xunen broke through the siege and was seriously injured, not knowing life and death.

She fainted several times and was so deep that she couldn't wake up.

When she woke up, Ning Zheng had already carried her sedan chair and married her into the Huai Palace. The imperial edict of the concubine was delivered to her the next day, and everyone in the palace respectfully called her a wife.

At that time, Cao was already completely disappointed, and only in her belly, the only bone and blood left to her by Dou Xunen could make her look forward to it.

She didn't believe that Dou Xunen was dead, and firmly believed that he would return one day, and she would eventually have a trace of hope of survival. In order to protect the fetus in her womb, Queen Huai was so embarrassed that she survived. In desperation, she had no choice but to fall into Ning Zheng, pretend to have a night of joy with him, and told him that she had pregnancy. She also believed that the fetus in her womb was the bloodline of King Huai, and she was ready to give birth.

In August of the tenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Dou Xunen had been missing in the northern border for nearly half a year.

Cao Xiu looked forward to his return, and the fetus in the abdomen gradually reached the stage of delivery.

On the day of the frost in September, she pretended to have premature birth and gave birth to twins. Because she was isolated in the palace, her eldest brother, Ning Nanyou, was poisoned and murdered by the Queen of Huai, and her life was hanging on the line. Chen Wuniang, the dancer who was serving her at that time, took a huge risk and walked against the wind. She carried Ning Nanyou to Kuaiji and asked the master of the Shuilou to help her save her life.

Cao Xiu was afraid that Wang would attack his other son again, so he ordered people to contact Ji Xianzhi, who was a small official in Luoyang City overnight, and communicated with Dou Taijun, who was also injuring him, and told the truth about his twin sons' life experience, and wanted to send one of them out of the Huai Palace to preserve Dou Xunen's bloodline.

She lied that her son, who was born late in the twins, died, and with the help of Ji Xianzhi, she sent him to the Dou Mansion. At that time, Dou Xunfen's beloved concubine Chen gave birth. Chen's son had a weak mother's fetus and insufficient fetal heart, and he had no signs of life within two hours of his birth.

Dou Taijun took this incident and exchanged the baby sent to Dou's mansion with the stillbirth given by Chen, and named him Dou Yueshan.

At this point, the slightly smaller one among the twins became the mistress of the Dou family.

However, Ning Nanyou, who was fought with his life by Chen Wuniang, rushed to the Shuilou to ask for treatment and saved his life, stayed in the Huai Palace.

Dou Taijun sat upright in front of the desk, slowly told Jiang Chengjia about the past, showing sadness on his face, and was heartbroken and almost burst into tears.

When Jiang Chengjia heard this tortuous and bizarre past, he couldn't bear the desolate and sad feeling in his heart and was silent for a long time. Only then did he realize why Cao's family had been worried about Ningnan for many years, and never revealed their sincerity, but was just alienated.

Cao didn't like Ning Zheng, and even said it was hatred. After marrying into the Huai Palace, he never had any contact with him except on his wedding night.

Although Ning Zheng loved Cao very much, he was so cautious that he had never lowered his high head to anyone. However, for Cao's repeated compromises, he saw that she was still thinking about Dou Xunen during her pregnancy. He was so angry that he never stepped into her courtyard after five or six months of pregnancy.

Since Cao hated Ning Zheng, he should be extremely hated for his son. Therefore, in order to help Ning Zheng eliminate suspicion of Ning Nanyou's mystery, she could only pretend to be disgusted and never dared to get close to Ning Nanyou. She could only treat him quietly when there was no one in private.

Dou Taijun sighed: "If Ah Xiu doesn't love Zhaoyuan, how could that be possible? After all, he was the flesh that fell from her body and was the son of Saburo. But she had no choice but to be with alienation. Over time, she and Zhaoyuan will never be able to return to the past."

Dou Xunen was the third child in the Dou family, so he was also the Sanlang by the old lady.

Jiang Chengjia was so upset that she didn't know what to say.

When Dou Taijun talked about his anger, he could not notice the expression of the little girl beside him.

"If you want to talk about how hateful the King of Huai Ning Zheng is, if Lao Shi had power in this life, he would have to kill him thousands of swords. If it weren't for him, Sanlang wouldn't have died outside the eastern suburbs of Luoyang!" She was filled with indignation and said in regret, "This matter is also a big deal. If Lao Shi hadn't been for Lao Shi to meet Sakuro, Sanlang would have been able to survive that disaster. And A Xiu would not have been ruined by Ning Zheng and became crazy."

Jiang Chengjia was frightened and dared not ask, but just looked at her with wide eyes.
