Chapter 833: Too Much to Write Down
The emperor was silent with a gloomy face.
"I will take the carriage." The queen said lightly, "Give me four guards. If the emperor is worried, add four more."
The emperor frowned: "Nonsense! You are the queen--"
"As the emperor said just now, if Nanyue is conquered, I will only become a prisoner."
The emperor choked.
Under the queen's insistence, the emperor finally agreed to let her take the carriage and take only eight guards out of the palace. The carriage slowly drove out of the palace gate. The queen lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside the palace. A long-lost sour feeling came to her heart.
Trapped in the deep palace for more than ten years, she had long forgotten how free and vast the outside of the palace was. The queen leaned in the carriage, closed her eyes, and her heart was desolate.
The carriage slowly drove on the flat road.
The Lengwang Mansion was already very dilapidated. No one had entered for many years. Except for the yard where the Lengwang lived, other places had been abandoned for many years and overgrown with weeds.
Even the gate of the palace had a damp and moldy smell because it had not been opened for a long time.
The queen walked slowly on the path covered by weeds and vines, feeling a little bitter. The scene of her love with this man was still vivid in her mind, but now everything has changed.
"Queen, slow down, be careful not to trip." The guards cleared the way in front, and the nanny carefully supported the queen, "It's so messy here."
"Wealth and glory have always been built on power." The queen said indifferently, "No matter how big the mansion is, it will be abandoned if no one takes care of it. Besides, the cold prince's mansion is so big, how can two people clean it?"
The nanny agreed.
Relying on the memory that had been forgotten for many years, the queen walked all the way to the courtyard where the cold prince lived. The guards went to report in advance, but no one came out to greet them for a long time. The queen didn't care, just walked forward, and finally after passing through a winding and deep corridor, she saw the man sitting in the pavilion reading a book.
The blue cloth shirt couldn't hide the former character.
At that moment, the queen's eyes were hot and tears fell.
The man seemed to sense the gaze behind him, turned his head and looked over, and the two eyes met, and the saying that time is vicissitudes was best verified here.
The queen has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and her face is well maintained, and her whole body is full of elegance, while the man has been trapped in the palace for many years, and no one cares about simple food and drink. It's like an eagle with broken wings and a tiger with pulled teeth. His face is vicissitudes and haggard, his skin is dull, and even his eyes seem to have lost their former sharpness.
But that angular face still has a familiar indifference, as if nothing in this world can enter his eyes.
The queen took a deep breath, forced back the tears, and lightly raised her hand to dismiss the left and right: "You all leave."
The nanny hesitated: "My queen..."
"Leave!"
"Yes."
The guards and the nanny turned and left, and the queen raised her heavy steps and walked over, slowly sitting down on the stone bench opposite the man.
The man's eyes locked on her, as deep as a cold pond, making people unable to see the bottom.
"I came here today to tell you three things." The queen spoke calmly, her voice very soft and gentle, with an inexplicable sadness and relief. "First, I have been secretly using musk all these years since I entered the palace, so I have not been pregnant for fifteen years. Although I cannot keep my virginity pure, I will never let myself get pregnant with that man's child. Second, the emperor has few children. In more than ten years, the concubines in the harem have only given birth to two princes and one princess for the emperor. Unfortunately, these two princes died young, and now only a twelve-year-old princess is still alive. . "
After a pause, "Third, it is rumored that whoever gets the Dongling Queen will get the world. The emperor's ambition has risen again. He shamelessly wants to repeat the old trick and marry the Dongling Queen. This has angered the Dongling Regent, who sent troops to attack Nanyue. Now the Dongling Iron Cavalry is at the gate of the city. Nanyue is about to fall. More than 100,000 Nanyue troops have been defeated, some died, some fled. The emperor is now like a trapped beast. Maybe in two days, he will pack up his gold and silver and run away. "
The man listened to her quietly, with a silent and indifferent look between his eyebrows.
"Whoever gets the Dongling Queen will get the world?" The queen smiled lightly, "Does it sound familiar? Fifteen years ago, the phrase 'Whoever gets Fengyi will get the world' made the emperor force me to marry him by any means. He has been on the throne for fifteen years, thinking that the prophecy really works, but he didn't expect that fifteen years later, he would fall directly on this sentence. "
The queen's surname is Yang, and her maiden name is Fengyi.
This name is very big. If it was just the Yang family, they would never give their daughter such a name. Her name was given by the previous emperor, so it is naturally not taboo.
But no one expected that a name would separate a couple.
Not only did he separate them, but he also deprived the cold king, who was once a man of both literary and martial arts, and imprisoned him. In the following ten years, he killed all the close subordinates of the cold king, so that the court was in a state of panic.
The evils done by the emperor are too numerous to list.
