Chapter 1 The Past
The third year of the Great Wei Dynasty's Yongsheng period, at the end of the year.
Changchun Palace.
The bright candles illuminate the dormitory as bright as day. There was a gust of wind coming from somewhere, and the candlelight swayed and cast a erratic shadow on the white walls.
Queen Lu, who was lying on the phoenix couch, looked dark, coughed a few times, turned her head and spit out a mouthful of blood.
The palace maid Qiyun choked and grabbed the black blood with a veil: "Empress..."
Lu Mingyu suppressed the surging feeling in his heart and glanced at Qiyun deeply.
Qiyun's tears slid down her cheeks and quickly threw the veil into the brazier beside her. In a moment, the veil was swallowed by the vigorous flames and turned into ashes.
The little fat son lay on the edge of the bed, holding her hand tightly, and burst into tears: "My mother, Queen Mother! Don't die! Don't throw Yan'er away..."
Yan'er, the mother can't bear to leave you either.
The Queen Mother cannot let you know that half a month ago, you happily brought the Queen Mother’s favorite snack, and someone poisoned it.
If you are poisoned, the queen of the expectant mother will never let you bear the reputation of killing your biological mother. After being infected with chronic poison, you would rather suffer the pain of the poison and die slowly than tell the truth.
Lu Mingyu reached out to rub his son's fat face and wiped away the tears for his five-year-old son. He tried hard to tell: "Qiyun, go out with Yan'er."
You look ugly after death, don't scare Yan'er.
The loyal Qiyun cried and kowtowed three times beside the bed, and carried Yan'er, who was crying and frolicking, with red eyes.
The emperor in the previous dynasty was deserted, lewd, cruel, violent, without virtue or morality, and chaos in the people were everywhere. All the heroes who were ready to move rose up and competed for the Central Plains.
Her father Lu Lin was a military general of the previous dynasty. He led 50,000 Xingyang troops to the capital to serve the king. When he arrived at the capital, the capital had been destroyed by heroes who had rebelled all the way. The rioters and soldiers rushed into the palace. The palace people's bodies were everywhere, and the entire palace was soaked in blood.
The foolish monarch was beheaded with a knife, and the princess and concubines were killed completely. Even if he wanted to serve the king, he could not find anyone.
In anger, Lu Lin led his troops to kill most of the heroes along the way. Then, with the support of a group of military generals, he proclaimed himself King of Xingyang.
The heroes fought in a melee, and those with weak power either "returned to the wise ruler" or were completely wiped out. The Xingyang army was not as valuable as elites. Lu Lin had no ambition to be an emperor. After some consideration, he led his troops to the Li family.
The Li family was a wealthy family in the previous dynasty with deep roots and lush leaves. From the day of the rise of the army, the head of the family established his own new dynasty, with the country's name Wei and the reign of Yongjia.
Emperor Yongjia was very talented and had a good appearance as a wise ruler, and he trusted and valued the King of Xingyang who had defected to him.
Emperor Yongjia had five sons and two daughters.
The third prince Li Hao is brave and good at fighting, tall and handsome, and falls in love with her at first sight.
When she was sixteen years old, she married Li Hao and became the third prince's concubine.
Three years later, Li Hao was granted the title of crown prince, and she also became the crown prince's concubine. After Emperor Yongjia's death, the crown prince succeeded to the throne and was named Yongxi. She was conferred the title of the Central Palace Empress and entered the Jiaofang Hall.
That year, she was twenty years old and was pregnant.
On the end of the year, she gave birth to a son. Emperor Yongxi was overjoyed and immediately issued an order to establish the crown prince.
The next year, the gentle and charming Concubine Su entered the palace. Concubine Su was the niece of Empress Dowager Su's relatives. After his son sat on the dragon throne, Empress Dowager Su couldn't wait to let his niece enter the palace to become a concubine.
After that, Empress Dowager Su's aunt and nephew emerged one after another.
It became inevitable that she and Emperor Yongxi had a divorce.
She is open-minded by nature and disdainful to compete with Empress Dowager Su, who is used to pretending to be pitiful and tears as weapons.
Concubine Su was crying and pouring dirty water on her body. Without saying a word, she slapped Concubine Su twice and slapped the pitiful Concubine Su into a pig's head.
Amid Concubine Su's screams and screams, she said word by word: "I don't want the man, just take it away! You are not allowed to come to the Jiaofang Palace again in the future!"
From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at Emperor Yongxi's instantly gloomy and twisted black face, and she felt very happy.
The couple who were once loving, their relationship reached a freezing point and became strangers.
In the third year of Yongxi, Emperor Yongxi's old illness relapsed and died. Before his death, Emperor Yongxi left a decree, allowing his younger brother, King Li Chang, to succeed to the throne. After the prince became an adult and married, he returned to power to the prince.
She failed to see Emperor Yongxi for the last time, only saw this imperial decree. At that moment, she wished she could let this dog man die again.
The newly succeeded Emperor Yongsheng, on the surface, was respectful to her widowed sister-in-law, but in fact she was dirty. She kicked her dragon root and destroyed her. Emperor Yongsheng lay on the dragon couch for half a month before he could barely stay.
At this point, Emperor Yongsheng hated her to the core.
The vicious Emperor Yongsheng conspired with the vicious Empress Dowager Su to use the young prince to make her chronically poisonous.
Lu Mingyu sneered sarcasticly.
Li Hao!
This is your trusted mother and brother. After you die for only three years, they can't wait to murder your first wife and occupy your throne forever!
I really hope you can open your dog's eyes underground and see it clearly.
...
The door was suddenly pushed open.
In the palace, the only one who dared to push open the door was Empress Dowager Su.
Lu Mingyu lay on the phoenix couch and looked coldly at the face that appeared above the bed.
Empress Dowager Su is so old that she is well maintained and looks like a woman in her thirties. She is weak and beautiful, and is born with a pity.
When he opened his mouth, his voice was even more gentle and pleasant: "Lu, Ahao has passed away for three years. What he liked the most during his lifetime was you. Today, you went to the underground together, and the couple was reunited."
Pretending to behave is disgusting.
If it weren't for the sinister and vicious woman in front of her, she and Li Hao would not have reached the point where their husband and wife turned against each other.
Lu Mingyu's voice was as cold as ice: "No matter how bad Li Hao is, he is extremely filial to your mother, and everything is good. Are you worthy of what you do? Is your actions worthy of him? Is it that day when you are in the nine springs, what are your faces to see him!"
Empress Dowager Su's expression froze and his face looked ugly. She looked at Lu Mingyu's eyes with a dull and unkind look: "There is nothing wrong with Ai's family doing this! Lu is ambitious and opposes the emperor everywhere, trying to control the government. Once you die, the Lu family will lose its backbone. The emperor can completely control the Xingyang army and the court will be stable."
"The emperor and the Ai family have sworn that when Yan'er grows up, they will definitely pass the throne to Yan'er. Everything the Ai family does is for the Li family, for Yan'er..."
"You asked Yan'er to carry the crime of poisoning the biological mother. Is this for Yan'er's good?" Lu Mingyu unceremoniously exposed Empress Dowager Su's hypocritical face: "There are only two of you and me here, who are you pretending to show it?"
Empress Dowager Su stared at Lu Mingyu, with a strong sense of hatred and hatred in her eyes.
Lu Mingyu hated her mother-in-law, and she had never liked Lu Mingyu.
She only has two sons. As a mother, what's wrong with relying on her son?
However, since her son met Lu Mingyu, his heart was put on Lu Mingyu. After Lu Mingyu passed the door, his son only had a wife in his eyes, and her biological mother was ranked behind his daughter-in-law.
How could she tolerate it?
My son is hers, so I should be filial to her mother, and I should listen to everything.
She used all her skills to make the couple feel estranged and finally turned against each other. Her son died young, and she cried beside the bed every day, which finally made her son change her mind and let her younger brother inherit the throne.
There is a Lu family behind Lu Mingyu, so it is not easy to pull the Lu family out of the roots.
Fortunately, Lu Mingyu was about to die.
Lu Mingyu looked back coldly, every word was like an arrow, and he stabbed Empress Dowager Su's heart and lungs: "Without the support of the Lu family, it's not Li Hao's turn to be the prince."
"My family of Lu has never been sorry for you mother and son. I, Lu Mingyu, was my daughter-in-law and never had any mistakes. In order to be the position of prince, you won over the Lu family and showed kindness to me everywhere."
"After I married Li Hao, you secretly jealous of our husband and wife's deep love and instigated us from time to time. We used despicable means to plot against our son, making Su Rou's slut into the palace. In the end, we were disconnected from our husband and wife."
"Li Hao passed away seriously ill. He originally planned to let Yan'er succeed to the throne. You were afraid that I would take over the power and plead for mercy. After crying and begging, Li Hao changed his mind and passed the throne to that idiot Li Chang!"
"Li Chang is not capable, but he is very brave. Before Li Hao's body was cold, he became lustful and gave me a drug..."
Empress Dowager Su could no longer maintain her calmness and twisted her face and shouted angrily: "Shut up!"
Lu Mingyu sneered and said, "Sure enough, you know this. You have always hated my daughter-in-law, a noble daughter-in-law, and I wish you could humiliate me. Li Chang wanted to humiliate my widowed sister-in-law, but you just don't know."
"It's a pity that both of you and your mother underestimated me. Even if I got the medicine, my strength was less than 30% of my usual days, I could kick Li Chang with one kick."
"In the past three years, Li Chang has pretended to be filial to his brother and has not summoned the concubines to serve him. It's not that he doesn't want to, it's impossible!"
"Li Chang has only one daughter, and it has become a fantasy to have a son to inherit the throne. This throne will always belong to my son."
Empress Dowager Su's temples thundered, her face was ferocious, and her eyes were so fierce that she wanted to eat people: "Lu Mingyu! Shut up! Even if you have thousands of abilities, you are almost dying."
As he said that, Empress Dowager Su showed pleasure and viciousness in her eyes, and a proud sneer came out of her mouth: "What else can a dying person do?"
Yes, it’s a pity that I can’t watch my son grow up with my own eyes, and I can’t watch my son sit on the dragon throne with my own eyes.
Lu Ming's eyes showed a little regret and his lips moved.
Empress Dowager Su subconsciously bent down.
A sharp sword appeared in Lu Mingyu's hand at some point. A cold light flashed and pierced the chest of Empress Dowager Su. The warm blood spurted out to the bed.
Empress Dowager Su let out a shocking cry, and fell back heavily, extinguishing his anger and still opening his eyes to his eyes.
Lu Mingyu used all his last bit of strength and slowly closed his eyes.
There was darkness in front of me.
This life was too short and I had countless regrets and regrets.
If there is a next life, she must open her eyes and will never be confused by the so-called love, and will never step into the fire pit again.
If there is a next life, she will use a sharp sword to protect her close family.
