Letting Loose After Marrying A Tycoon

In the 29th year of Taiping, Chen Desheng, the eunuch in charge who had followed Emperor Taiping throughout his life, became old and critically ill. According to the rules of the palace, every palace maid and eunuch who is found to be ill will be expelled from the palace.

Chen Desheng took the initiative to report his illness to the emperor and asked to leave the palace. Dugujie thought of following him for the rest of his life, so he allowed him to leave the palace and arranged for him to move into the private house on Chang'an Street.

Chen Desheng has no adopted son, and all his family members are now dead and old. Dugujie selected three or four attentive maids and eunuchs to take care of him personally, allowing him to spend the last two months of his life in that house.

On a hot afternoon, Chen Desheng's condition worsened.

The personal maid asked the guards to come into the palace to meet with His Majesty, hoping that His Majesty could come to see Chen Desheng one last time. The guards immediately entered the palace and saw His Majesty smoothly, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Chen is dying. Do you want to see him for the last time?"

Shocked to hear that Chen Desheng was about to die, Dugujie immediately put down what he was doing and rode to the end of Chang'an Street.

Chen Desheng had someone put him in clean clothes and put him on a couch under the pavilion, lest His Majesty would be disturbed by the smell of patients in the room when he entered the ward.

Dugujie came under the pavilion and saw that Chen Desheng was breathing rapidly, and he was obviously about to die. He sat down and held his hand.

"Old guy, I'm here."

When Chen Desheng heard His Majesty's voice, his cloudy eyes brightened slightly. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, have you come to see this old slave?"

Dugujie looked at Chen Desheng's dying appearance with emotion. After the death of his mother-in-law, Dugujie was always bullied by other princes in the palace. At that time, Chen Desheng always stood in front of him and suffered the pain of those ruthless punches and kicks for him.

Later, Dugu Jie was poisoned and became terminally ill and almost died. It was Chen Desheng who secretly bribed him and took him out of the palace secretly to see Dr. Zhou.

Without Chen Desheng, there would be no Taiping Emperor today.

Although he is a eunuch, his protective heart is stronger than gold!

Dugujie sighed melancholy, and asked Chen Desheng: "You are just waiting for me to come see you, right?"

Chen Desheng pursed his lips and smiled, "I knew that His Majesty would come to see me off on my last journey. I have something to say."

If he didn't have something to say, Chen Desheng would not dare to disturb His Majesty.

Dugujie thought that Chen Desheng was entrusting him to take care of his family. He said, "If Desheng has any last wishes, tell them and I will take care of them."

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Chen Desheng suddenly grabbed Taiping Emperor's hand, and he struggled to sit up.

Dugu Jie hurriedly held him down, "Lie down and talk!" Dugu Jie narrowed his eyes and was about to die. This old guy was finally willing to confess his sins? "What stupid thing did you do?"

Chen Desheng had two lines of tears left at the end of his eyes. He seemed to see the young and beautiful General Nangong standing in front of him, waiting for him to go to Jiuquan to atone for his sins.

Chen Desheng cried and said to Dugu Jie: "Old slave, old slave is hiding something!"

Dugujie frowned deeply, looking a bit majestic. "I'll give you a chance to confess!"

Chen Desheng said: "Eight years ago, before the old prime minister retired and returned to his hometown, he went to the palace to meet the Queen. It happened that on that day, the Western Region Kingdom paid tribute to a batch of silk, and Your Majesty asked me to deliver silk to the Queen. I went, But I accidentally overheard an amazing secret."

Dugujie felt uneasy and asked in a deep voice, "What did you hear?"

"The old prime minister and the old prime minister told the empress that there were rumors that there were strange beasts in Shu, but they were actually false. There have never been strange beasts in this world. The so-called strange beasts are actually..."

The old eunuch's pupils widened and he sighed: "Actually, he is a human being!" After saying these four words, the old eunuch suddenly died.

He couldn't bear to tell His Majesty that the 'wonderful beast' was none other than General Nangong, who had been loved by Your Majesty all his life!

He was afraid that if he said so, His Majesty would have no intention of dictatorship, and then he would be a sinner!

Dugujie was so frightened by this information that he didn't even react when he saw Chen Desheng dying.

On the side, the young eunuch reminded His Majesty: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Chen has gone."

Only then did Dugu Jie come back to his senses.

He closed Chen Desheng's open eyes, then stood up and said, "Send someone to find Mr. Su and ask him to choose a Feng Shui treasure land for Desheng to be buried with honors."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Dugujie returned to the palace and kept thinking about Chen Desheng's words.

There are no strange beasts in this world, the strange beasts are humans.

So, who is this person?

Dugujie had a vague guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to verify it.

That afternoon, the new chief eunuch, Mr. Chen Degui, stood beside the table and was doing inkstone for His Majesty. When he saw that His Majesty casually sketched a peony flower on the paper, Chen Degui praised: "Your Majesty's painting skills are really amazing. This peony is just like this." Just like the real peonies in the Royal Garden."

This eunuch is good at everything, but he likes to flatter him too much.

Dugujie put down his painting brush and suddenly said: "Tonight, I want the queen to sleep with me."

Hearing this, Eunuch Chen Degui was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

Chen Degui used to learn how to work from Chen Desheng. After many years in the palace, Chen Degui also knew that His Majesty never summoned the concubines to sleep with him.

Rumor has it that His Majesty has someone in his heart and wants to protect him like a jade.

When he suddenly heard His Majesty's words, Chen Degui thought he had heard wrongly. He looked suspicious and asked cautiously again: "Your Majesty, do you mean to announce that the Empress will sleep with you?"

Dugujie nodded.

Chen Degui nodded hurriedly, went to the Queen's palace in person, and read out the imperial decree.

After receiving the news that His Majesty asked her to sleep with him, the Queen couldn't come to her senses for a long time. She thought her father-in-law must have made a mistake, so she knelt on the ground and asked, "Dear Eunuch, did your Majesty really say that he would like me to sleep with you tonight?"

After being married to Dugu Jie for nearly thirty years, she rarely even set foot in His Majesty's palace, let alone stayed in His Majesty's bedchamber! She had waited until she was old and yellow, so why wasn't she surprised when His Majesty suddenly asked her to sleep with him?

Chen Degui could understand the Queen's mood. He smiled and said, "Empress, please hurry up and get dressed to prepare for your bedtime tonight."

"Hey, okay."

This is the first time His Majesty has asked the Queen to attend his bed, and it is a great joy. The queen quickly asked the palace maid to get some silver to reward her father-in-law.

After seeing off Chen Degui, Zheng Yue'e turned around and said to the maids: "Quick! Go to the Clothing Bureau and ask if my Silla skirt is ready. I will wear that bright yellow skirt tonight!"

"Light the incense and be sure to scent your clothes later. It's the first time His Majesty invites me to sleep with you. Naturally, I have to prepare carefully to give His Majesty a satisfactory experience!"

"Yes, concubine!"

I was shocked to hear that Your Majesty is going to announce that the Empress will sleep with you tonight. These women in the palace who had already given up their hearts suddenly came back to life.

Being favored by His Majesty suddenly became every woman's wishful thinking.

The empress spent an afternoon bathing, changing clothes, and putting on makeup and hair for the night.

This requires sleeping, and there are requirements for makeup and styling. First of all, the makeup should not be heavy, only light makeup. The bun should not be too complicated, and you should not wear sharp hairpins. You can only wear beads and flowers.

She was ready and sat in the palace waiting, her hands trembling with nervousness.

When it got dark, her father-in-law invited her into the chariot and drove her to His Majesty's palace.

Dugu Jie lived in Yulong Palace, which was spacious and exquisite, with exquisite statues and paintings. The Queen was taken outside His Majesty's palace, and the eunuch who led the way whispered: "Your Majesty, the Queen is here."

Inside, the man responded with a cold voice: "Let her in."

"Empress Xuan has entered the palace to sleep with you!"

The Queen was very nervous, and her mood was similar to that on her wedding day.

She walked into the palace with small steps and saw Chen Degui standing in the outer hall lighting a lamp. Zheng Yue'e glanced at Chen Degui and quickly turned to the dragon bed.

Under the candlelight, His Majesty was sitting on the edge of the dragon bed, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. His hair was down, and he rarely wore a crown on his head, with only a faded wooden hairpin stuck in it.

The Queen stared at the hairpin and thought of the rumors that her Majesty had a black wood hairpin, which he kept like a treasure. It is said that the hairpin was carved by the general Zhenguo himself as a gift to His Majesty.

The queen felt sad.

No woman wants to see her man wearing a gift from another woman every day. He is still such a shabby wooden hairpin that is not worthy of His Majesty's status.

The Queen didn't dare to look closely. She blessed her body respectfully and said softly: "Hail, Your Majesty."

Dugu Jie said nothing. He looked at the queen's appearance and figure with a heavy gaze.

They have been married for more than 20 years, and this is the first time that Dugu Jie has taken a serious look at his queen. Being stared at by Dugu Jie with his domineering and focused gaze, the Queen couldn't help but blush.

She walked forward boldly and sat down beside Dugu Jie's bed.

"Your Majesty." The Queen blushed shyly. She boldly and proactively reached out and took Dugu Jie's arm, hinting to him: "It's getting late. Your Majesty, do you want to rest now, or later?"

Dugu Jie lowered his eyes and looked at the queen's dignified and beautiful appearance, and said calmly: "Queen, please talk to me for a while. I have never had a serious chat with the queen."

Hearing this, the queen felt aggrieved and sad, and her eyes were slightly red.

In terms of expression management, the Queen also learned this when she was young. The red eyes of the queen, who always looked majestic and dignified, seemed to add some charming charm.

The queen lowered her head and said considerately: "Your Majesty has so many things to do, how can you have time to chat with me? Your Majesty summoned me tonight. I was flattered and couldn't calm down, which made your majesty laugh."

"Ah"

Dugu Jie suddenly stood up, walked to the tea table, and poured the queen a glass of wine himself.

He held the cup of tea and handed it to the queen's hand, "The queen has a drink. The wine will make you bold, so the queen will not be nervous."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The queen quickly caught the wine glass with both hands and drank the glass of wine without thinking. She thought to herself: Your Majesty looked so cold and solemn, but she didn't expect to be so gentle and considerate in private.

Dugu Jie watched the queen drink the wine. He suddenly smiled and said, "Queen, I never reward people with wine for no reason."

The Queen thought that His Majesty was implicitly expressing his love for her.

As the daughter of the prime minister, Zheng Yuee was trained as a queen candidate since she was a child. In speaking and doing things, the Queen is always generous, dignified and elegant. Zheng Yue'e then smiled and said: "Today I am lucky enough to drink the fine wine given by Your Majesty. It is my concubine's blessing."

Dugu Jie took the cup from the Queen's hand. He shook the empty cup and said softly: "In my entire life, I have only rewarded three people with drinking wine. One is the holy doctor Mo Liansheng. But Nangong Xian, the god of war, and the other three have drunk wine." , she is the queen."

The queen listened respectfully and didn't understand why her majesty mentioned this.

Dugu Jie said again: "I gave Mo Liansheng a glass of wine, and he lost his sense of smell and taste. I gave General Nangongxian a drink because I love her and care for her. Today I give the Queen this glass of wine, Queen, Do you know why?"

The queen's face changed slightly, and she suddenly felt a discomfort in her throat, as if a needle was piercing her throat. "Your Majesty." The Queen is not Nangong Xian, and there is no place for her in His Majesty's heart.

His Majesty rewarded her with a glass of wine tonight, obviously not because he liked her.

That.

That's blaming her!

The Queen suddenly turned pale, and suddenly understood that tonight's so-called bedside service was just a pretense, and His Majesty's real purpose was to punish her!

The queen is the master of the harem, and she has done many ruthless things over the years in order to consolidate her position. His Majesty suddenly launched an attack today to accuse her. The Queen had done too many things to blame her, and for a while she couldn't figure out where she had exposed her flaws.

At the moment, the queen must not panic. What a person says in a panic is full of leaks.

The queen showed a confused and incomprehensible expression, and asked Dugu Jie in confusion: "I wonder why your majesty rewarded me with this glass of wine tonight?"

Dugu Jie: "Of course it's because the queen has been in charge of the harem for more than 20 years. It's been too hard. I feel sorry for the queen."

Hearing this, the queen was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Dugu Jie sneer again and said sarcastically: "Would the queen believe such stupid words?"

The queen's cheeks, which had just regained some color, became pale again.

She suddenly slid off the edge of the dragon bed, knelt on the floor along the footrest, and responded with fear: "Your Majesty, I don't know what your Majesty wants to say, please make it clear."

Dugujie squeezed the flowered porcelain cup in his hand tightly and asked the Queen: "Back then, the Prime Minister deliberately spread false news about strange beasts in Sichuan and Sichuan. Is the Queen also aware of this?"

This is what happened!

The queen's heart beat irregularly. She lowered her head and said uneasily, "My father also heard about it from hearsay. Fortunately, His Majesty was so blessed that he successfully found the strange beast, and his condition was finally turned around."

She said this as if she didn't know the truth.

But she could deceive others, but she couldn't deceive Dugu Jie.

Dugu Jie found it ridiculous that at this moment, the queen had not lost her sense of control and was still struggling to her death. She is worthy of being the queen of a country, her determination is high enough!

"The queen must know that there are no strange beasts in this world. The so-called strange beasts are actually humans!"

Hearing this, the Queen's delicate body trembled slightly. She bit her pink lips and continued to act stupid, "Your Majesty, I don't know!"

"You don't know! Eight years ago, the old prime minister came back to his hometown and went to the palace to meet the queen! What did the old prime minister say to the queen during that meeting? Is the queen really unaware of it?"

Seeing that His Majesty accurately mentioned this matter, the Queen knew that it was over.

She trembled all over, and said in a choked voice: "Concubine. I did hear my father tell me about this. The reason why I didn't dare to tell His Majesty was because I was worried that His Majesty would feel guilty when he knew about it! After all, that happened. Chunwan is made from the human heart!"

"Your Majesty has to deal with all kinds of things every day and is already working very hard. I cannot bear to tell Your Majesty such a thing. I am guilty, and please Your Majesty to convict me!"

Dugujie frowned and looked at the queen. He knew that the queen was not telling the truth and must be hiding other secrets in her heart. He asked again: "Tell me the truth, who is that 'wonderful beast'!"

The queen then said, "I don't know much about it. I heard from my father that the strange beast should be a kind of medicine man. The so-called medicine man is a patient who has been taking heavenly materials and earthly treasures since childhood. Because they took too much medicine, they themselves became ill." It becomes a kind of medicine.”

"I don't even know who this medicine man is!"

Dugujie knew that he would be speechless by asking the Queen, so he waved his hand and said to Chen Degui: "Take the Queen back to the palace!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The queen has gone to bed!

The Queen has been sent back again!

This news quickly spread throughout the harem.

The next day, before everyone had time to laugh at the Queen, they heard that His Majesty had issued an imperial edict, decreeing that Zheng Yuee'e would be abolished from her position as empress because of her misbehavior!

After everyone inquired, they found out that the queen couldn't bear the loneliness and secretly hid a man dressed as a eunuch in the palace!

This shocked the concubines in the harem.

The empress was banished to the cold palace, and the position of empress of the Luo Dynasty became vacant. The women in the harem became excited again, waiting for His Majesty to establish a new empress.

However, before they could wait for the news of His Majesty's appointment as Queen, the shocking news came that His Majesty was about to abdicate and the throne was passed to Prince Dugu Sheng!

In the autumn of the 29th year of Taiping, the Taiping Emperor Dugujie, who was free from illness and disaster, passed away to the crown prince Dugusheng. At the age of fifty, he stayed away from the temple and no longer interfered with national affairs.

After Dugu Sheng ascended the throne, he changed his reign to Shengping and named Dugu Jie the Supreme Emperor. However, the position of the Empress Dowager was always vacant.

On this day, Dugu Sheng disguised himself and quietly arrived outside the city gate in a carriage. Outside the city wall, Dugu Sheng saw Dugu Jie.

Dugu Jie led a fierce horse and stood in the square outside the city wall, wearing black uniform. Dugu Sheng got off the carriage and bowed respectfully to Dugu Jie, "Father."

Dugu Jie looked at Dugu Sheng and said, "Nineteen years ago, here, when my father almost went astray, it was the emperor's son who took over the throne for his father."

Dugu Sheng thought about what happened here that year, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's the child who is bold."

Dugu Jie led the horse to Dugu Sheng's side. He raised his hand and pressed Dugu Sheng's shoulder, saying to him: "From that day on, I knew that Huang'er had grown up and could be on his own."

"Sheng'er, although my father is not your biological father, he has always treated you as his own child. You are lucky. You have not experienced the tragedy of brothers fighting against each other, and you have not experienced the fear of being kicked by the emperor all the time when you have great achievements. The fear of leaving the East Palace."

Dugu Sheng listened quietly, thinking along with his father's words, and felt that he was really lucky.

Dugu Jie suddenly asked again: "The year I chose my adopted son, there were twenty-three boys among the royal family. Do you know why I chose you?"

Dugu Sheng shook his head in confusion.

This is also the reason why Dugu Sheng has never been able to figure it out.

As a child, he was not the smartest, nor the prettiest or cleverest, but His Majesty the Emperor chose him that year, and even his biological father, the Third Prince, praised him for his good fortune.

Dugu Jie looked at Dugu Sheng's face and said, "The contours of your cheeks are most like mine, and your eyes are most like hers."

Dugu Sheng was shocked!

Dugujie murmured: "If she and I had a son and a half, they would probably look like you."

Dugu Sheng felt uncomfortable and speechless. "Father, you..." Dugu Sheng asked sadly: "After so many years, you still can't let go of General Nangong?"

"Let go?" Dugu Jie looked up at the bright sky above his head and sighed melancholy: "I never owned her, so why should I let her go?"

Only when you have owned someone can you be qualified to let go of that person.

In his situation, he is not qualified to talk about letting go.

"Your Majesty, the great rivers and mountains of the Luo Dynasty were protected by your master with all his life. You must help me take care of them. I have some things to investigate. This time, please don't keep me here."

Dugu Sheng understood that his father had made up his mind, so he no longer wanted to retain his father. He only said: "I hope my father will be able to fulfill his wish when he goes here."

Dugu Jie got on his horse and stared at Dugu Sheng from a high position. He said: "I named you Dugu Sheng because I hope your achievements will be far better than mine. Sheng'er, literature can rule a country and martial arts can quell chaos. Don't let me compete with you." Your master is disappointed!"

After saying that, Dugujie turned his horse's head and walked away.

-

After leaving the palace, Dugujie wandered around to Jiangling and found the small county town where the miracle doctor Zhou lived in seclusion.

At that time, the divine doctor Zhou had passed away, and his young disciple Zhou Chuan opened a medical clinic in Jiangling.

On this day, Zhou Chuan was arranging medicinal materials behind the bunk in the medical clinic. When he noticed someone walking into the pharmacy, he raised his head and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

After saying that, Zhou Chuan was surprised for a while after seeing the appearance of the person clearly. When Zhou Chuan was more than ten years old, he went to the palace with his master and had the honor to meet the emperor.

Even though His Majesty is already showing his age, his appearance has not changed much from when he was young.

Zhou Chuan recognized Dugu Jie's identity, his expression changed drastically, and he pretended to kneel down and kowtow. Dugu Jie hurriedly waved his hand and said, "There is no need to salute. Just stand while I ask you questions."

Zhou Chuan lowered his hands on his chest and waited respectfully for Dugu Jie to ask questions.

Dugu Jie looked at the medical center and saw a crooked handwritten sticker hanging on the wall of the medical center, which said——

People should not take medicine to be happy; I am self-reliant and will not be deceived. I hope that no one in the world is sick, even if the medicine on the shelf is covered in dust. The world is peaceful, hahahaha.

Dugujie laughed after reading this sentence. "The word "Master" was written in a ghostly style until your death. It's quite sloppy."

Zhou Chuan blushed, but he still had to save some face for his master, "Master, he can't see. If he can write, he is very good."

"You admire your master." It's not like that Mo Liansheng, who just rolled his eyes.

Dugu Jie asked Zhou Chuan for medicine, drank a bowl of herbal tea, put the bowl away, sat on a wooden chair, and told Zhou Chuan: "Your master knows things like a god, did you guess that I would come? Did you leave a message for you?" "

Zhou Chuan smiled helplessly, "The Supreme Emperor is indeed a smart man."

Zhou Chuan walked into the inner room, took out an envelope and handed it to Dugu Jie. Zhou Chuan told Dugu Jie: "Your Majesty, before his death, the master told the common people to keep this letter, saying that he would hand it to you personally. At that time, he was deceiving the common people by thinking that he was a master, but the common people still followed the master's instructions and handed it over to you. Xin Haosheng kept it, hoping that one day he would be able to hand it over to the Supreme Emperor."

"Today the Supreme Emperor is here. By handing this letter to the Supreme Emperor, the common people have fulfilled the master's last wish." After completing the last hospital for the master, Zhou Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Dugu Jie said: "Miracle Doctor Zhou is a truly benevolent doctor. He knows me and knows that I will definitely come." Dugu Jie always thought about Doctor Zhou and would not feel at ease if he did not come to see Doctor Zhou.

After taking the Fengchun Pill, Dugu Jie became suspicious of the raw materials of the Fengchun Pill. Are there really such magical beasts in this world? If so, why didn't he show up earlier and later, but why did he show up when he was critically ill?

Mo Liansheng had evil intentions, and Dugu Jie never trusted Mo Liansheng.

Mo Liansheng has a small belly and chicken intestines, and is jealous. Dugu Jie used a bowl of poison to take away Mo Liansheng's sense of smell and taste. Mo Liansheng should have hated him.

Mo Liansheng would be kind enough to save himself, but Dugu Jie didn't believe that he was so kind-hearted.

After bidding farewell to Zhou Chuan, Dugujie returned to his temporary residence with the letter. He opened the letter and saw the crooked handwriting of Divine Doctor Zhou——

[Your Majesty, by the time you read this letter, the common people will be gone. However, there is something that the common people have been keeping in their hearts. If you don't tell your majesty, the common people will not be at ease under the spring.

That day in the palace, Mo Liansheng brought Fengchun Pills into the palace to treat His Majesty. At that time, the common people noticed that the smell of Fengchun Pills was somewhat special and familiar. Afterwards, the grassroots finally discovered that the smell of Fengchun Pills was exactly the same as the smell of the medicine on General Nangong!

The common people suspected that there were no strange beasts in the world at all. The so-called strange beasts whose hearts could make flesh, bones, and the living dead was nothing but a hoax. And the real strange beast is most likely General Nangong!

To seek proof, Cao Min went to see Mo Liansheng. When the kid saw what had happened, he stabbed Cao Min to death. He also deliberately framed Cao Min and ruined Cao Min's reputation.

Your Majesty, the common people know that you are deeply in love with General Nangong. I am afraid that you will be in pain after knowing the truth, so I have been waiting for a suitable opportunity to inform Your Majesty of this matter.

Mo Liansheng has evil intentions and practices evil ways. The common people beg your majesty to kill that beast Mo Liansheng on my behalf! 】

After reading this letter, Dugu Jie turned pale.

He put down the letter, stood up, opened the door and walked to the yard, knelt on his knees and leaned against a crabapple tree to vomit.

When he couldn't spit it out, he pressed his throat with his hands. However, even if he vomited everything in his stomach, he still couldn't spit out what he really wanted to spit out.

Dugujie vomited violently, then raised his blood-red eyes and looked at the sky above his head with hatred.

Mo Liansheng!

Dugujie found out the truth and became seriously ill.

The illness came like a mountain, and Dugu Jie almost died, but he was saved by Zhou Chuan. Dugujie didn’t want to live, and no one could save him.

He bid farewell to Zhou Chuan, left Jiangling, and went to Shu alone.

Even if he died, he would kill that beast Mo Liansheng!
