Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

Gu Panxia nodded suddenly, "In this case, the reason why the concubine planted the Manzhu and Shahua was to remind herself that she has no chance to continue with that man in this life, just like the Manzhu and Shahua, right?"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, "That's right. There is a saying that once you enter the palace, it is as deep as the sea. Now that this woman is married to the emperor's concubine, if there is nothing else, she will naturally be unable to leave the palace in this life."

Gu Panxia sighed slightly, how many couples like this were there in ancient times, who were harmed by the so-called words of parents who ordered them to be matchmakers for their entire lives.

But... okay, why did Lu Yuan mention this?

Gu Panxia was very curious in her heart.

Seemingly sensing her thoughts, Lu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Are you curious why I mentioned this to you?"

Gu Panxia hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

She felt that Lu Yuan did not seem to be a gossip, and he should not be interested in such things. Now that he mentioned it, it meant that this matter or the protagonist in it should have a close relationship with him.

Lu Yuan turned the red flower in his hand and said: "That fire burned many people to death. Not counting the servants, there were hundreds of concubines and princes and princesses in the harem alone. Since then, Manzhu Shahua has In the Great Zhou Dynasty, that was an ominous sign and a big taboo."

He paused and then continued: "This concubine, her surname is Lu, her name is Lu Yan, she is the eldest lady of the Lu family, the first family of the previous dynasty, so she should be my grandfather's aunt."

Gu Panxia raised her eyebrows in surprise. Although she had expected it, she didn't know that the concubine was actually from the Lu family.

"The Lu family was an imperial merchant at that time. Later, because of this incident, he was removed from his position as an imperial merchant and was even almost executed. Fortunately, the head of the Lu family at the time, Lu Xiao, was a decent man and willing to help the people. He often He gave all kinds of help to those poor families. The former emperor was kind and thinking of his kindness, he only punished the concubine."

Gu Panxia raised her eyes slightly and asked curiously: "How did the emperor punish the concubine in the end?"

Lu Yuan sighed softly, "She burned so many royal nobles to death, so the emperor naturally couldn't spare her. She was hung at the city gate for three days and three nights. The emperor was not in a hurry to let her die, and often ordered people to pour water on her. After feeding her, her life was worse than death. Later, he directly ordered people to set a fire at the city gate, threw her into the fire, burned her alive, and ordered people to scatter her ashes in different places. , so that she will never be reincarnated."

Gu Panxia couldn't help but exclaimed, "How cruel!"

Lu Yuan shook his head slightly, "In the end, no one is wrong. The fault lies in the word love. The former emperor fell in love with Lu Yan, but Lu Yan fell in love with another man. Jealousy can make people crazy, let alone A noble king like the former emperor? For him, there is nothing he hates more than betrayal, but this person is still the woman he loves most."

Gu Panxia suddenly nodded. As a king, betrayal is the most taboo, but Lu Yan destroyed all his feelings for her for another man. How could the always aloof emperor forgive her?

As the saying goes, the most ruthless emperor is. When he dotes on you, he will pick your heart and pick the moon for you. If he abandons you, you will be worse than the mud on the soles of your feet.

Lu Yuan suddenly looked back at her. His eyes were as gentle as autumn water. He opened his thin lips and said slowly: "So Pan Xia, in this life, you can't betray me, and I won't betray you. You If you fail me, I can't guarantee that I won't go crazy with jealousy like the previous emperor."

He used to have a mentality of "preferring nothing to nothing", but now, he just wants to treat such a person well. He can tolerate anyone's betrayal, but he cannot tolerate her betrayal.
