C43 – Snake-rat Fossa

“Royal Father is ranked fifth, and his birth mother is only a palace maid. She is very unfavoured, and among all the princes, she is the most famous, until when they left the palace and the empress realized that he had not yet married, she casually pointed out that the first daughter of the direct line of Yun Family is the Fifth Prince’s consort.

At first, Royal Father was very dissatisfied with this marriage, but he could only feel discontent in his heart. He had no power or influence, and his birth mother was just a small noble who could not speak for herself in front of the empress. Furthermore, the order had already been passed down, and he did not even have the chance to refuse it.

Although the Yue Clan is only a mediator who has reached the fourth rank, they are still a commander of the late emperor’s imperial guards. The chances of seeing the late emperor are even greater than him, so with the help of the Yun Family, he did a few practical things and gradually caught the attention of the late emperor. He started to be humble in the Department of Revenue. “

“Wait, in other words, the woman that the Emperor married is the Imperial Consort Yun of the palace?” Yin Xu could not help but ask.

Teng Yu smiled bitterly and nodded, “Yes, don’t interrupt, listen to what I have to say first.”

Yin Xu put on an expression of listening attentively, and indicated for him to continue.

In the past, he was just lacking in opportunities. He was even more humble and hardworking than the other princes, and very quickly, he established himself in the Ministry of Revenue. While the other princes were fighting to the death, he was also secretly developing his own forces, and tried to rope in some of the court officials.

However, with his position, those that were willing to approach him were all insignificant officials. This was definitely not enough, the fastest way to increase his strength was still through marriage.

However, he had already married his first wife, so it was impossible for any of the more illustrious families to take a first wife as a concubine. As for a second wife, it was useless, so he had little hope of taking this road.

Unless he rescinded his wife and married someone else, but at that time, he had a deep relationship with the Yun Family, and using the help of Yun Family, he had climbed up the mountain.

She was very smart, and knew that once the new emperor ascended the throne, the best outcome for her would be for her to follow her husband and become a princess in a remote and barren place. If the new emperor was very ruthless, she might not even be able to keep her life, and compared to becoming a princess, what she yearned for more was to be the princess of this world.

After that, she made a plan, and that changed my mother’s fate, and also changed the fate of the entire Liu Family.

At first, my grandmother was still on guard against her, not wanting to have any close contact with the imperial family. However, as the times went on, they would always be safe and sound, and every time, they would all go to famous families in the capital. Thus, she relaxed her guard.

At that time, my mother was also at the appropriate age for marriage, and my grandmother wanted to use this opportunity to see a few suitable people. But who would have known, during this series of banquets, my mother met my Royal Father, and under the other party’s premeditated seduction, she gave her approval.

At the beginning, she didn’t know that the person she liked was the Fifth Prince, but when she found out, it was already too late.

That year at the palace banquet, the affair between the direct daughter of Liu Family and the Fifth Prince became a big ruckus, causing the entire Liu Family to be unable to raise its head. My grandfather also became a mother for the first time, and threatened to send her to my family temple.

However, after the incident, my mother said that she didn’t go to see anyone at all. Instead, she met Lady Yun in the garden, chatted with her for a while, and had a cup of tea with her.

My mother was protected too well since she was young and was not on guard at all, not to mention that she was a man she had fallen in love with. Although she knew that she had been designed, she was willing to marry into the Fifth Prince’s estate, even if she could only be a secondary wife.

But how can my grandfather’s family agree? However, things had already come to this point. The only other way to marry into the Fifth Prince’s estate was to leave their family. The ancestors naturally didn’t want their precious woman to accompany Azurelamp.

In the end, the conclusion of the discussion was that the Fifth Prince wanted to divorce the Yun Family and marry my mother as his main wife. Otherwise, his Liu Family would never have allowed his daughter to enter the Fifth Prince’s estate.

However, the Yun clan had a good reputation amongst the aristocratic clans. This time around, more than half of the aristocratic clans in the capital felt sympathy for the Yun clan, and some even stood up for the Yun clan.

The matter was in a deadlock for a month. Finally, surprisingly, the Yun Family personally went up to the Liu Family to persuade her, saying that she was willing to lower herself to become a concubine to help the Fifth Prince and the Liu Family get along well.

At that time, the entire capital, or even the entire world, was moved by Madam Yun. The late emperor had even specially bestowed her a jade ruyi, allowing her to not hold a concubine ceremony in front of her first wife.

From the surface, this matter looked to be of great joy. My Queen Mother still married the Royal Father in the end, and even she herself believed that she would live a blissful life from now on.

“How could I know …”

“Who would have known that a little white rabbit like her would be gnawed to the point that not even her bones would remain after entering a wolf’s nest?” Yin Xu sighed.

Teng Yu did not answer him and continued to speak, “During the year of marriage, Royal Father was indeed very good to his mother. Even Madam Yun was willing to lower herself to her mother’s level.

It was said that many people had died that night. Half of the nine princes had died, and even the late emperor had been angered to the core. Only after the rebellion had been pacified did the head attendant take out the late emperor’s testamentary edict.

In the testamentary edict, the late Emperor established the Fifth Prince as the Crown Prince, and said famously that after a hundred years, he would pass on his position to the Fifth Prince. “

“The testamentary edict is fake?”

Teng Yu glanced at Yin Xu and answered: “No, it’s true! It was just that at the time Emperor Xian wrote this testamentary edict, he was already too unconscious. As for the situation in the middle, outsiders simply had no idea.

After the testamentary edict was read out, some people complied with it and some people objected. However, with General Liu around, the rebels were quickly suppressed and the Royal Father smoothly ascended the throne.

As soon as he ascended the throne, he established the Liu Family as the Empress and the Yun Family as the Imperial Consort. At that time, before I was born, the Royal Father already had Teng Yi, his eldest son and an eldest daughter.

After the next year, when mother and son gave birth to me, and the political situation gradually stabilized, Royal Father let the grandfather and his family go back to the Northeast, showing that he continued to spoil us.

When I was young, my head would hurt, and the Royal Father would come personally to greet me. I would personally feed the medicine, and I would be the one to receive all kinds of rewards. No matter what I did, I never got scolded.

At that time, I didn’t understand. Later on, I knew that the palace maids and eunuchs beside me had already harbored ill intentions towards me. It was just that they had maintained their outward respect towards me.

He remembered that from that summer onwards, his mother’s health was getting worse and worse, and the Royal Father was afraid that she would tell him about her illness, so he didn’t allow me to visit her often. However, due to the nature of mother and son, I would still secretly go often.

Once, when I was climbing into the Queen Mother’s palace from the window, I heard the conversation between the Royal Father and the Queen Mother and found out the truth behind what happened all those years ago.

He still remembered his mother asking him if he had truly treated her in all these years. That man did not answer her, but he had already given her the required favors, so it could be considered as him being worthy of her Liu Family.

His mother then asked him why he told her the truth now. The man replied, because he did not want to hurt the woman he loved anymore. Twelve years was enough time.

The Queen Mother finally asked him if his illness was related to him. What do you think he said? Heh heh, I was hiding behind the bed when I saw him point to a pot of flowers in the room and say: Don’t you like these flowers very much? It was called the Dragon Sparrow Flower, and had a delicate fragrance. It was a rare treasure among flowers, but very few people knew that the fragrance of the Dragon Sparrow Flower and the medicinal properties of a medicine clashed. As time went by, it would produce poison …

That is to say, my mother is not sick but poisoned. It is ridiculous to think that the king of a country would need to use such insidious methods to kill a person!

At that time, if it wasn’t for Han Sen pulling me back, I would have definitely rushed out. At that time, I was as stupid as my mother.

Fortunately Han Sen stopped me, otherwise I would probably be dead by now, hehe. ” Teng Yu raised his head and stared at the dark sky without blinking. He was afraid that tears would fall in the blink of an eye.

Even though he hadn’t shed a tear in years.

“Is my mother stupid?” he asked with a wry smile.

Yin Xu thought for a while, before making a judgement, “Empress Liu is simple, it is hard to guard against.

Of course, there was one thing he did not say. The main thing was that Madam Yun was too smart and could endure. A woman like this was even more difficult to deal with than men.

“It’s more than hard to guard against. Those two are indeed from the same nest as the snake rats. They are the ones who are good at superficially; they are the most sinister.”

Yin Xu muttered, “Actually, you are not bad either.” In terms of appearance and appearance, this young man was far superior to the young man.

“Hmm? What did you say? ” Teng Yu moved closer to him, and said with a cold expression: “If you have the guts, say it again! This hall will definitely let you experience what is truly sinister! “

The two of them stood very close to each other as they breathed on each other’s faces. Somehow, they felt a sense of warmth from each other’s breath.

​……

Yin Xu: “Poor Empress Liu, when a handsome, emotional, and handsome man wants to hook up with an unfathomable daughter of a pavilion, the chances of success are at least ninety percent. It’s impossible to guard against.”

Teng Yu: “You should change your name.”

Yin Xu: “Mhm?”

Teng Yu asked, “Is my mother not your mother?”

Yin Xu, “…” Was it really okay for a thousand-year-old man to call a thirty-year-old female empress? sigma (° ° | |) *
