faint [rebirth]

Chapter 81 The Oath

"Severe children and grandchildren? It's not bad at all."

Xiao Wuchen's voice was very soft, naturally he couldn't compare to the crazy Shen Shi, almost every sentence he yelled out in a high-pitched voice.

Of course, it couldn't compare to the fact that every word Shen yelled out with a high-pitched voice could be heard by Xiao Junye who was separated by a wall.

And Xiao Junye who was inside the high wall could only hear Shen's questioning at this moment.

When Xiao Wuchen hadn't come before, Shen could barely maintain the appearance of a noble lady, she could only speak in a normal voice, and then let the maid specially trained by her side shout loudly, Daxing might start a war, and Xiao Wuchen, a faint and incompetent king, is about to come and use him in order to keep his country!

Shen was confused, thinking that as long as she let someone let out such words, Xiao Junye would have a grudge against Xiao Wuchen, even if she reluctantly surrendered to Xiao Wuchen, she temporarily compromised with Xiao Wuchen, and won the battle when she got out of the prison Finally, turning around and returning to Luoyang, Xiao Wuchen's rule can be overthrown. After that, whether Xiao Junye wants to be the emperor himself, or finds a puppet to replace him as the emperor, for Shen, as long as Xiao Wuchen No, she can laugh out loud!

Although Shen's original plan of provocation was simple, reckless and hasty, but because of the real relationship between Xiao Wuchen and Xiao Junye, such a blatant provocation would really be useful.

However, when Xiao Junye heard these words, on the one hand, he felt that as long as he had a place for Xiao Wuchen to use, he could stand by Xiao Wuchen's side in an upright manner, so that the two of them might still have a future, in this case... Even if it is used, so what?Even if he heard the words of Shen's palace man, even if he guessed that this matter was [-]% possible, Xiao Junye would still be happy that Xiao Wuchen was willing to use him again.

But on the other hand, while Xiao Junye was happy, he couldn't help but feel bitter.Maybe it was because his previous actions were too much, his cleanliness was really annoying.If it was an ordinary annoyance, maybe he lowered his posture and coaxed him, but that's all, and the two could reconcile as before; but thinking about what he did before, and thinking about how it feels to be locked up now, Xiao Junye will If you feel his dust-free, you must hate him to the core.

Since he hated him to the core, what else could Xiao Wuchen do to him besides using him?It's a pity that even if Xiao Wuchen could only use him, Xiao Junye willingly accepted Xiao Wuchen's use.

Even with Shen's provocative words.

It's a pity, it's a pity that Shen, who has a broken leg, thinks she is smart, she can't enter the sky prison, she can't see Xiao Junye with her own eyes, and say those provocative words to him in person, but she can stay outside the sky prison, separated by a distance. The wall shouted those provocative words to the people inside the wall.As far as Shen Shi, who couldn't see Xiao Wuchen, as long as they can provoke the relationship between the two of them, and let Xiao Junye feel a little bit of grudge, there is a slight chance that he will betray Xiao Wuchen again in the future and turn Xiao Wuchen into a pitiful person. Xixi's prisoner is her greatest desire now.

However, things backfired. The Shen family, who had never seen Xiao Wuchen, met Xiao Wuchen today, and learned from Xiao Wuchen that his son was still alive, and under Xiao Wuchen's deliberate design, he became a News of the lowly mummers.

Shen was originally a little anxious and crazy because of the loss of her two children and her broken leg. Now that she heard Xiao Wuchen's whereabouts of her son, she couldn't bear the anger in her heart. Without choosing words, she and Xiao Wutan revealed Xiao Wuchen's "biggest secret" in a shrill voice, and insulted Xiao Wuchen.

"...Heh, even if my son really becomes an actor, it's much better than you, the one who treats other people with sex, and only relies on your beauty to subdue others and get this Daxing Dynasty."

"A person like you should be subdued by others for the rest of his life, and he should have no children and grandchildren for the rest of his life!"

Xiao Junye couldn't hear Xiao Wuchen's voice at all, he could only hear Shen's shrill yelling and cursing like a lunatic.

He clenched his hands suddenly, looking at the erected iron railings of the dungeon, since the day he entered the dungeon, for the first time, he had the idea of ​​breaking through these iron railings and running outside.

He wanted to rush out, but he didn't want to escape, but he wanted to rush out, listen carefully to Xiao Wuchen's answer next, look at Xiao Wuchen's face - and then after knowing Xiao Wuchen's reaction, Kill Shen Shi.

Now he only hates himself for not killing Shen Shi directly.

However, Xiao Junye couldn't do anything right now, he could only prick up his ears and try his best to listen to the movement outside the wall.

Shen's voice was sharp, but Xiao Wuchen's voice was gentle, so across a wall, Xiao Wuchen could only hear Shen's voice, but not even half of Xiao Wuchen's voice.

I can't hear it.

Xiao Junye stood in the dungeon expressionlessly, looking at the wall connecting the outside with deep eyes.

He really couldn't hear Xiao Wuchen's answer.

However, Xiao Junye obviously did not expect that Shen would go crazy with anger and repeated Xiao Wuchen's words.

"'Is it okay to cut off children and grandchildren? It's not bad.'" Shen looked at Xiao Wuchen like a lunatic, "Aijia only said that you seduced Xiao Junye to work for you by serving others with sex, so He is fascinated by you. He is clearly in power, but he can return all the power to you in a blink of an eye, and he obediently ran to jail. But now it seems that you, a bitch who deliberately seduces people, have also been seduced by him. You don’t even want the inheritance of your descendants! Aren’t you afraid that your ancestors will find out, so why don’t you just climb up and drag you to hell?”

As soon as Shen's scream came out, Xiao Junye who was standing quietly in the prison was startled, and then, his tightly clenched hands began to slowly loosen.

Xiao Wuchen condescendingly looked down at Shen who was sitting on the shoulders placed on the ground, and said with a light smile, "Is it passed on to your heirs? Then you know, who is the ancestor of the ten generations before you? Who is the ancestor of the twenty generations? Who? Who was the first ancestor?"

Shen was taken aback.

Xiao Wuchen said quietly: "I don't even know who my first ancestor was, and I don't even know who my ancestors are. I don't know them, so if I really have children, the ten generations after me The descendants of more than twenty generations probably don’t know about me.” After a pause, he continued, “Or if Daxing suddenly dies after a few generations, then the descendants of the Xiao family may have to change their names and surnames in order to escape. The ancestors are also changed. At that time, after three generations, there will be no one to worship or continue the incense for those ancestors who are the first. If this is the case, what is important if I have no heirs and whether I have inheritance? "

What Xiao Wuchen said was something strange since he was a child.It's just that he couldn't say these words when he was young. Once he said them, the palace people around him would kneel down and plead guilty. In this way, Xiao Wuchen had no choice but to hold back, and then held back until the end Today, he is in charge of his own house and sits as the emperor.

It's just that he didn't expect that his words were spoken to a lunatic.

How can a lunatic understand the meaning here?

As expected, Shen said sharply: "The Ai family doesn't care about your reasoning! The Ai family only knows that you are a dignified descendant of the Xiao family, the heir chosen by the late emperor, to want to cut off the inheritance of the Xiao family! It's really ridiculous and hateful! The late emperor was confused , I chose you as the emperor and gave up my son, I'm really stupid, stupid!"

Xiao Wuchen remained silent.

Mrs. Shen was still yelling and cursing.

Xiao Wuchen listened for a while, and felt that this Shen family was really crazy, since he was crazy, then he didn't bother to talk to her anymore, he just waited to send her to the cold palace where many lunatics were imprisoned.

Wanting to come there is the place where Shen should go in the end.

However, Shen Shi didn't think so, when Xiao Wuchen walked past her indifferently, she suddenly grabbed Xiao Wuchen's arm.

Xiao Wuchen looked at her sideways.

Shen's originally crazy eyes suddenly became sober at this moment.

She stared at Xiao Wuchen, and said, "Are you planning to let my son be an actor for the rest of his life, or even an emperor on the stage, so that he will never get what he wants in his heart? Then shut up the Ai family Go to those cold palaces where a bunch of crazy women are locked up? If Ai’s family has been confused all his life, it’s fine. If one day, Ai’s family suddenly wakes up, you let Ai’s family watch. Ai’s family grows up and can only be an emperor on the stage Son? Then torture us mother and son like this? Let us mother and son suffer for the rest of our lives?"

Xiao Wuchen raised his eyebrows slightly, but remained silent.But looking at Shen Shi, it is obvious that he really has this idea.However, Shen still guessed one thing wrong.He doesn't kill their mother and child now, just because Xiao Wutan is still young, less than 15 years old.When Xiao Wutan turns 15, no matter whether Xiao Wutan has tasted enough of the hardships and pains of being an actor, Xiao Wuchen will kill him.He would also kill him in front of Shen Shi, and then execute Shen Shi.

After all, he will avenge his previous life.

A look of struggle suddenly appeared on Shen's face, and the next moment, she suddenly knelt down towards Xiao Wuchen.

Xiao Wuchen looked at her without saying a word.

Shen gritted her teeth and said, "I know you hate me. But, do you know how I was deceived by your mother? How was your mother wasting my life? Back then I was young like a flower, but because of your mother, I had no choice but to enter the harem and commit myself to being a concubine. That's all, after I entered the palace, before I even had time to be favored, your mother, my good sister, was diagnosed with a happy pulse by the imperial physician!"

When Shen said this, she couldn't help but feel a little grim on her face: "Although I hated it in my heart at that time, but I thought that the person I married was an emperor, so since the eldest sister is pregnant, she will definitely take care of me in the future. I Although you can't be a queen mother, you can have a foothold in this palace after all. But! But, do you know what your benevolent queen mother did? After she became pregnant, she dominated the first emperor. The emperor simply ignored any of the concubines! When she gave birth to a child, both mother and child were weak and sick, and the former emperor still guarded her in the Jiaofang Palace, protecting her, and rarely favored other concubines. Concubine! If the Ai family hadn't taken care of you as a sick child for ten years as a slave and maidservant, your empress mother would not have mercifully persuaded the late emperor to give the Ai family a child!"

Xiao Wuchen remained silent.

Shen continued to cry: "It is said that the mother owes the son to pay. Your mother owed so much to Ai's family, and finally made up for Tan'er and Ai's family. He is less than ten years old. He is kind-hearted and clever. How can you be so disregarding for your half-brother and your aunt's son? Just let him go to the folk, how can you let him be a lowly actor?"

As she said that, because one of her legs was broken, she could only barely crawl to Xiao Wuchen's side, trying to hug Xiao Wuchen's leg, and begged, "That's all for the rest of my life. Your suffering is all because of your mother. Since you were born, I have been serving you as a slave for ten years. Of the clothes you wear, I sew five or six out of ten pieces for you... I used to only think that you were in poor health and could not be the emperor of the world, so I thought about making your brother the emperor. It’s nothing more than letting you settle down and be a rich and idle person. It’s fine if you misinterpret my good intentions, or want to kill me, but the altar is still so small, and my aunt doesn’t ask you to forgive me, and I don’t ask you Bringing Tan'er back to the palace, I just ask you to think of a way to let Tan'er be a wealthy and idle person among the people, and it is enough to live this life freely. If you are willing to let him go, Auntie is willing to end it on her own, and Take the secret of your Israelite servant into the coffin from now on!"

As Shen said, she raised two fingers and swore a poisonous oath.

Xiao Junye in the dungeon frowned while listening.

What Shen said, she pushed the cause of her tragic life to the former empress... However, although Xiao Junye didn't understand the matter of the harem fighting for favor, he knew the matter of the court.

After the five kings seized the throne and the deposed prince forced the palace, only the imprisoned deposed prince was left alive under Emperor Chengguang's knees.At that time, Emperor Chengguang was over forty years old, and he had to rush to have a new child, preferably a son.

But Emperor Chengguang is old and has never been greedy for women, so everyone in the court probably knows that at Emperor Chengguang's age, he probably won't be able to have many children.And among these few children, isn't the number of sons less?

Thinking about the many concubines and empresses in the harem, although they are old and young, they have been in the palace for many years. After Emperor Chengguang had the sixth prince, there has been no good news from the harem for several years.

Emperor Chengguang "cultivated" the harem for another year or two, but there was still no good news in the harem, so he agreed to the matter of "accepting new concubines" from the court officials.

For concubines in the harem and women waiting to marry in the court, if they could give birth to a prince at that time, then they would have greater confidence in the future, and become the most honorable woman in the Daxing Dynasty.

As for the officials in the court, although Emperor Chengguang was old at that time, and the daughters or younger sisters in the family were as young as flowers, if there were several sons under the knees of Emperor Chengguang in the past, those who loved their families would not be willing to give themselves away. The younger daughter or sister married the emperor.However, when the emperor had no sons and was short of sons, all ambitious courtiers in the court wanted to send their daughters or younger sisters to the palace.

In any case, although they gave up the youth of their younger sister or daughter, they might get a grandson or nephew as the heir apparent. They would certainly agree to such a game.

It is precisely because of this that after Emperor Chengguang killed his son and imprisoned the abolished prince, there were so many courtiers who asked the sage to choose a concubine again, and started nagging to his daughter or younger sister. the benefits of.

Once she enters the palace, gets favored, and has a son, so what if she becomes a concubine?Those are the emperor's concubines. After giving birth to a son, they are still the emperor's only son or one of several sons, and the emperor is old. They can directly become the empress dowager, the most honorable woman in the world... and their natal family It will also make you look good... This kind of temptation is really not something that half of people can afford.

And Xiao Junye still knows Shen's elder brother Wei Yanghou quite well.With Wei Yanghou as a man, it is very likely that he used these words to seduce Shen Shi.And Shen herself was young and beautiful. Although Emperor Chengguang was over forty years old, he was well maintained and looked quite handsome. At that time, Shen's elder sister was also over 30 years old and had been in the palace for more than ten years. Even failed to give birth to a child. In this case, as long as Shen enters the palace, as long as she can give birth to a child, she can directly hug her eldest sister, the queen, and her biological mother can also rise to a higher level. The real queen dowager...

Xiao Junye, who has been in the officialdom for many years and once held great power, naturally knows that most people cannot resist these temptations.

Whether it is Wei Yanghou or Shen Shi, they are all one of the majority of people, so naturally they can't resist.

Therefore, Shen's many reasons are obviously untenable.

Sure enough, Xiao Wuchen from outside the wall said something again, and Shen Shi became impatient again, and said sharply: "You are talking nonsense! How could the Ai family be willing to enter the palace? At that time, Ai's family was obviously killed by your mother." After asking for a while, I entered the palace! However, your mother is the queen, since she asked me, she must have made up her mind to let Aijia enter the palace and give birth to a child for her. How could Aijia refuse at that time? This is clearly what she thought of early on!"

Xiao Wuchen looked at her, shook his head, without even a trace of a smile on his face: "Do you really think I'm a fool? When I was young, my mother hugged me and told me that when my uncle and aunt entered the palace several times, she said that you fell in love with me. Father, if you want to enter the palace to serve your father, you will also share her worries. At the beginning, the mother didn't believe it, thinking that you were in such a beautiful age that you should not be a concubine. As a result, after taking you into the palace, the mother saw through your thoughts at a glance Wish. At that time, she had no children, and all the concubines in the harem had no children. She thought that since you are willing to enter the palace and fight for your own future, then she has nothing to stop her. That's why she asked That sentence gave you a chance to refuse, and it also gave you a chance to enter the Palace Expo."

Seeing that Shen was in a daze, Xiao Wuchen continued: "So, when you entered the palace, you couldn't blame the queen mother at all. But later, the queen mother suddenly had me, this can only be said to be God's will. You are not lucky, And why do you want to anger your mother?" Seeing that Shen was about to struggle, he continued, "As for the matter that the father refuses to favor you... Are you really confused or fake? If the father has countless children, then let It’s understandable that the sisters of the same family were favored and conceived together. However, at that time, my father had only one son under my knees, and my father was planning for the country, and because my father had experienced five kings vying for the throne, he had some feelings for his son. Without trust, it is naturally impossible for you and the queen mother to be favored and conceived at the same time. At that time, the father favored the mother queen and had Zhen, so naturally, you can only be the chess piece abandoned by the father. Not the mother queen It made you unfavorable, but you lost the bet yourself."

If Shen Shi was the first to conceive a child after entering the palace, and the eldest sister was the queen, then Shen Shi would naturally have another ending.

It's a pity that Shen's entry into the palace is to fight for the future, since it is a fight, there are naturally winners and losers.She just lost.

Shen shi slumped on the ground in a daze, in disbelief.

Xiao Wuchen said: "As for you willing to take care of me like a slave, it's just another plan or a game of yours - you just entered the palace at that time, you had no heirs and no favours, your father refused Looking at you, the queen mother can't persuade the emperor. In this way, you can only go another way, and get the favor of the emperor by taking care of me. And this time, you won the game. In ten years, let the empress I finally persuaded my father, made my father finally willing to favor you, and allowed you to give birth to Xiao Wutan. Xiao Wutan is just a reward from my father for taking care of me." He looked at Shen and said mockingly , "Such a variety, do you really not see through it? If you lose the bet, it has nothing to do with my mother, and if you win, it has nothing to do with my mother. It is a big gamble, but the bet is still on the emperor's favor, status, and heirs." You should have had this kind of awareness early on for the illusory things, and you shouldn't blame others."

It was rare for Xiao Wuchen to say so many words.He thought in his heart, probably because he will be able to meet his emperor's uncle in a while, so... even if he met his enemy, could he suddenly say so many words?

Xiao Wuchen raised the corner of his lips slightly, turned around, and was about to leave.

——He should have gone to see the emperor's uncle early.

Unexpectedly, Shen Shi suddenly said loudly: "What about you? Your royal father, so easily played with the Ai family, the concubines in the harem, you sons, and the courtiers in the palm of your hand, even For the sake of his own throne, he did not hesitate to deliberately design his own queen and son—thinking about it now, your mother has had no children for many years, and when she gave birth to you, it may not be without the handwriting of the first emperor—and what about you? In the future, you will also do the same People play on the palm of the hand?"

Xiao Wuchen stopped in his tracks, tilted his head slightly, seemed to think for a while, and then said: "Tricking? I'm just scheming people's hearts, just like the courtiers around me are also scheming my thoughts. Wrong, of course it cannot be said that the father's calculations are all wrong, otherwise he would not have been a benevolent monarch for most of his life. It's just... I have no harem, no heirs, and there will be no one in the future. I want to spend my calculations When it comes to people's hearts, it is probably much less than that of the father... Well, I can't say, I will really live a long life."

Shen's eyes were red, she was obviously on the verge of madness, and said sharply: "No! Aijia doesn't believe that you will never have a son in this life, and you will never marry a woman! Unless you swear! Swear a poisonous oath!"

Such a request is obviously rude and unreasonable.

Ah Yao listened on the sidelines, and frowned and glanced at the guards around him, some of the guards wanted to go up to gamble on Shen's mouth.

Xiao Wuchen stopped in his tracks, looked at the high wall of the dungeon, then walked forward slowly, leaning his back against the wall, and suddenly opened his mouth.

"I swear by my throne and life that I will never marry a wife or take concubines in this life, and I will have no children of my own. I will only guard one's heart in this life. If you break this oath, your throne and life will be at the mercy of others!"

Xiao Junye was standing inside the wall of the dungeon. He felt that he should not have heard Xiao Wuchen's voice, but at this moment, he seemed to hear Xiao Wuchen's every word of his oath in his ears and heart. .

Outside the wall, Ah Yao raised his hand, and as soon as the guard covering Shen's mouth let go, Shen laughed shrilly, with self-righteous self-satisfaction in his laugh: "Ha! Xiandi, Xiandi, you think you have chosen a good one. Your son will be the emperor, but you never thought of it, right? Not only does this good son you have carefully selected do not intend to marry a wife and take concubines, but he does not even intend to continue to pass on to his heirs! Well, the concubine was wrong, it was him Not only do you not plan to marry a wife and take concubines to have children, but you also plan to live with a man for the rest of your life! Ha, the first emperor, the first emperor, you should watch carefully in the sky, watch the good son you choose, and send your other son Go to the folk, send it to the stage to be an actor for the rest of your life! Ha..."

Shen Shi was still yelling, Xiao Wuchen frowned and glanced at her, Ah Yao immediately had someone drag her away.

Ah Yao knew it well, after this encounter, she was afraid that this Shen family would really be imprisoned in the cold palace.I just don't know, will he be imprisoned for the rest of his life, or will he be imprisoned until the day His Majesty intends to kill Xiao Wutan?

Shen Shi didn't have the strength to yell, but she was still cursing the late emperor, just cursing, she suddenly started crying about her child.I don't know if it was the son who became an actor outside the palace, or the child who was killed by her before he was born...

Xiao Wuchen stopped talking to her.

He walked slowly, step by step, towards the main entrance of the prison.

After entering the main entrance, he stopped for a while before continuing to walk inside.

He walked very slowly, but no matter how slow he walked, the road would end one day.

In less than a cup of tea, he walked to the most spacious and bright sky prison in the sky prison, and saw Xiao Junye who was still clean and proud even though he was in prison.

Xiao Wuchen looked at the people in the dungeon through the iron railing.

The people in the dungeon were also watching him silently.

After a long time, Xiao Junye in the dungeon suddenly smiled.

He knelt down on one knee towards Xiao Wuchen, raised two fingers, looked at Xiao Wuchen fixedly, and said, "Minister Xiao Junye, I would like to make an oath that this will come into effect to be loyal to Emperor Ning, and everything will be governed by Emperor Chengning." First of all, never betray. If you break this oath, I wish you will be alone in the world, never meet Wuchen, and every time you reincarnate, you will be pierced by thousands of arrows and die."
