Chapter 91
Su Li and Chen Shi lived a very happy life in this life. After successfully passing the tribulation and returning to the Hundred Flowers Garden, Su Li's mouth was still smiling.
"What happened again in this life?"
The Mother of Flower handed Su Li a cup of her homemade fairy honey, with a loving and proud look, just like parents in the world who see their best children.
This cup of fairy honey from Mother Hua is a good thing that even gods can find. Mortals can rejuvenate and look radiant after drinking it. Fairies can get ice-skinned and jade-like bones when drinking it. The beauty is even more beautiful, especially sought after by fairies.
The flowers are originally beautiful and beautiful. Fairy honey has no special effects on them, but it can also make people feel refreshed and refreshed.
After drinking a cup of fairy honey, Su Li immediately became full of fighting spirit and could start entering the next world at any time.
But there is no rush. At this moment, Su Li first told the story of the world of peach blossoms to the Mother of Flower.
The Mother of Flower said in surprise: "I am another man who truly loves you. If I hadn't known about your five hundred years of practice, I would have doubted whether you have any friendship with Moon Master."
Su Li had never seen the Yue Lao and smiled and said, "How is that possible? Apart from the Mother of Flower, I have only seen the immortals outside. No, he had seen me. I had not yet enlightened my mind at that time, and he would leave after I drove it."
The Mother of Flower was thoughtful.
There are hundreds of flowers in the garden. It is not surprising that Little Lihua can successfully survive her own disaster, but it has been broken through the disaster for four flower demons including Orchid. If it is said that it is entirely luck or her own ability, it seems not so easy to convince people. Could it be that Zhenjun Chonghua's enlightenment inadvertently helped Lihua?
Su Li just said casually, and her mind had returned to the next pomegranate life.
"According to the rules of the previous four generations, pomegranates may be ancient in this world." When he came to the withered pomegranate tree, Su Li frowned and said, "Although modern times have not fully achieved equality between men and women, it is much better than that of ancient people who eat people. Orchids are ladies from a wealthy family, and peony is a poor orphan. I don't know what pomegranates will be."
The Mother of Flower touched the withered leaves of the pomegranate and pondered: "Mortals praised the elegance of orchids, and the girl who was reincarnated as an elegant orchid, as well as the weakness of lilacs, the enchanting peony, and the romantic peach blossoms. From this, it is inferred that mortals regard pomegranate as a mascot with many children and many blessings. The disaster of pomegranate in this life may be related to children."
Su Li thought so too.
"I'll go first, please make me a few more cups of fairy honey."
The light tone has not disappeared yet, Su Li has injected the flower spirit into the pomegranate spirit.
The Mother of Flower smiled and shook her head, "Silly child, as long as you can come back, let alone a few cups of fairy honey, she will have all her lifelong immortal honey."
Every flower demon who failed to survive the tribulation brought an emotion.
As soon as Su Li entered the pomegranate's spirit bead, she was swept by a heart-wrenching grief. Her face turned cold, and Su Li couldn't help but shed tears. She seemed to hear the pomegranate crying one after another, and the continuous sadness made people feel distressed with her.
At the same time, the tragic spirit beads showed Su Li the experience of pomegranate in this life.
Orchids, lilacs, peony, and peach blossoms have never met men who really love them, and pomegranates have met them.
The pomegranate was indeed born in ancient times, with the surname Lu and Yurong.
Lu Yurong's father was a magistrate of the imperial examination and was a place where the local magistrate was gentle and beautiful. The couple was affectionate and had three daughters in total, namely Lu Yurong's three sisters. Lu Yurong had a very happy childhood. Until his mother passed away, the two sisters got married one after another. Lu Yurong had no choice but to go to the capital to take office with his increasingly ill father.
Mr. Lu was in poor health. Before he died of illness, he chose to marry his third daughter to Gu Yanheng, the second son of Gu Zhen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the Minister of Cabinet.
Gu Yanheng is gentle and elegant, Lu Yu is beautiful and talented, the couple admire each other, and they live in a scruple after marriage. After Mr. Lu passed away, Gu Yanheng accompanied Lu Yurong to mourn for three years. Three years later, the couple showed filial piety and had a good relationship. The child soon came. Ten months pregnant, Lu Yurong successfully gave birth to a son, nickname Shan Ge'er.
However, the good times did not last long. Gu Yanheng suffered from a serious illness at a young age and died young, making Lu Yurong a widow.
Her husband passed away, and Lu Yurong was sad and haggard. Fortunately, she had a fat and cute son beside her, so Lu Yurong focused all her attention on raising her son.
Her father-in-law, the cabinet minister Gu Zhen, loved Shan Ge'er very much, and loved the house and the mistress. He also took good care of his widow's daughter-in-law Lu Yurong. But Gu Zhen was an ambitious person.
Here I will introduce the old emperor Mingzong of the dynasty.
The throne of Emperor Mingzong was obtained by usurping the throne. The late emperor had a total of sixteen princes. The Mingzong ranked seventh in the ranking, but he was the most ruthless and ambitious. He launched a coup on the night of the late emperor's death and killed the other fifteen princes in one breath. Several of them had already started a family, so he killed those families, leaving no living habits.
The winner became the king, and after beheading a group of ministers who scolded him for rebelling against him, Emperor Mingzong successfully succeeded to the throne.
But it may be that the killing karma was too heavy. After Mingzong ascended the throne, retribution came. His two sons in his life died one after another. After ascending the throne, no son was born again. The concubines either did not get pregnant or the princess was born when they were pregnant. When Mingzong was young, he was not very anxious, but in a blink of an eye, he was almost sixty and had no son yet!
In the past few decades, Mingzong thought of many ways, including ordering people to choose beautiful women who are big butts and can bring them to their harems, including asking their concubines to take pills that are said to be able to give birth to sons, but they didn't work. In the later period, Mingzong also asked people to go to the people to choose young women who can give birth to sons and enter the palace, hoping to grow a son through these "good fields".
The emperor had something to like, so the people below tried to meet his preferences. Finally one day, a slander in the court who was favored by flattery reported to Mingzong that Lu Yurong, the second daughter-in-law of the widow of Gu Zhen, might have been the fate of Yinan. The evidence is that Lu Yurong's two sisters gave birth to three strong sons after they got married, three sisters and one mother. Lu Yurong must have the same fate as Yinan. However, Gu Erye died early, Lu Yurong lost the seeds, and the "land" was still in vain. As long as the seeds arrived, she would definitely have two more sons.
Mingzong was moved and called Gu Zhen alone to discuss the matter with him.
Gu Zhen's ambition expanded to its limit at this moment.
He was a cabinet minister, but not the chief minister. Gu Zhen has always coveted the position of chief minister, so the condition proposed by Emperor Mingzong was that Gu Zhen would give him his daughter-in-law, so he asked Gu Zhen to be the chief minister.
Gu Zhen thought more about it. He was the chief assistant when he sent his daughter-in-law to the palace. If his daughter-in-law really got pregnant and gave birth to a dragon son, when Mingzong died, he would definitely be the regent. In addition, the prince born to his daughter-in-law and his grandson Shan Ge'er were the same mother brothers. When the prince became the emperor, he would definitely take care of Shan Ge'er more and favor the Gu family when he grew up!
If you give up a daughter-in-law, you can get the power and wealth that can be so powerful, why not do it?
Gu Zhen thought about it all night and agreed. Just to protect his face, he suggested that Mingzong secretly arrange Lu Yurong in a remote palace first, and only arrange a few people to serve him. To the outside world, he said that the palace was a palace maid whom he was new favorite. After Lu Yurong became pregnant and successfully gave birth to Long Zi, Long Zi handed it over to the emperor. He secretly took Lu Yurong back to Gu family as the second wife of Gu family. As for the prince's biological mother, he only said that he would die of dying.
Mingzong thought this idea was very good and asked Gu Zhen to make arrangements as soon as possible.
After Gu Zhen returned home, he ordered someone to call his daughter-in-law Lu Yurong to the study. Lu Yurong naturally refused to agree with this and knelt on the ground and begged Gu Zhen not to send her into the palace. Gu Zhen threatened Shan Ge'er's life, saying that if Lu Yurong was disobedient, Mingzong would definitely take revenge on Shan Ge'er.
In front of his daughter-in-law, Gu Zhen pretended to be forced to do so.
For Shan Ge'er, Lu Yurong, the only flesh and blood of her husband, her favorite child, had no choice but to enter the palace.
Lu Yurong is very beautiful, but Mingzong is almost sixty years old. He doesn't want beauty but a woman who can give birth to a prince. Mingzong completely treats Lu Yurong as a piece of fertile land, rather than a pitiful woman who needs pity. Mingzong arranges Lu Yurong to live in Qiuyue Palace next to the cold palace. He goes there every night and takes medicine directly, and does not treat Lu Yurong as a human being. Lu Yurong endures pain while missing Brother Shan at home.
A month later, Lu Yurong really got a happy pulse.
Emperor Mingzong was very happy, and Gu Zhen was overjoyed. Only Lu Yurong was sad. Only five-year-old Shan Ge'er cried and looked for his mother every day.
Brother Shan was the only thought that supported Lu Yurong to survive.
She missed her son, and Brother Shan missed her mother too. Everyone in the family told her that her mother had to move to the village to recuperate when she was sick. The adults did not allow him to go to find her mother. Brother Shan fell asleep while the nurse was off. He moved a chair to the wall of the Gu family, wanted to jump over the wall and jump out, and went to the village to find her mother by himself.
Standing on the chair, Brother Shan struggled to climb up the wall, but the wall was too high. Just as Brother Shan finally hung his hands and feet to the wall to climb up harder, his shoes slipped and his head fell down...
When the wet nurse came over with the maid and servant, Brother Shan'er's small body was already cold.
Gu Zhen was shocked to hear the bad news and fell to the chair in depressed manner.
That was his biological grandson. After the death of the second son, his grandson was the only thought that his son left to him. Brother Shan was so smart and he still hoped that the Gu family would become the first family in the capital under the leadership of Brother Shan. Why did his brother Shan disappear in half a day?
Holding Shan Ge'er's small body, Gu Zhen burst into tears.
The child died young and did not hold a big funeral. The Gu family buried Shan Ge'er in a low-key manner.
But Gu Zhen did not tell his daughter-in-law about this, and Emperor Mingzong also told the Qiuyue Palace that the palace ladies should not talk too much. If the prince in Lu Yurong's belly had an accident because of this, he would have everyone compensated.
The palace people dared not resist the order, but Emperor Mingzong did not expect that there were people around him who didn't want him to give birth to a son.
The man told Lu Yurong, who was pregnant for four months, about the bad news that Brother Shan fell to death.
When Lu Yurong heard this, half of her life was about to be lost, and the remaining half was supported to leave the palace and go and see if her son is still there.
How could the palace servants in Qiuyue Palace let her leave? They would stop her even if they fought to the death.
As soon as he started, Lu Yurong miscarried. Mingzong rushed over and scolded Lu Yurong. As Mingzong scolded, Lu Yurong confirmed what the man said that her brother Shan'er was really gone.
Lu Yurong burst into tears.
After Emperor Mingzong finished scolding, he arranged for the imperial physician to take care of Lu Yurong's body as soon as possible. He still wanted to continue to favor her, because she had three sons anyway.
But for Lu Yurong, her beloved husband died and her son died, and she no longer had the meaning of living.
