[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 64 [English]

Chapter 62 Life experience

Li Jianheng never talks about his biological mother with others, because it is his nightmare.He’s biological mother, Le Shi, had no concubines and was a humble palace maid. The surname Le was scrawled in the file, but there was nothing else.

When Li Jianheng was still in his infancy, Emperor Xiande’s biological mother, Mrs. Lu, took him into her palace, but only provided him with food and clothing.The reason why he is so uneducated now is because when it was time to go to school, no one remembered him, and he spent all his time playing with the eunuchs.

He doesn’t have a concubine, he only has a wet nurse.

The wet nurse was the counterpart of Emperor Xiande’s personal eunuch. She was used to being snobbish and treated Li Jianheng harshly. She kept him looking polished every day, but when he returned to the house, he often woke up hungry.Li Jianheng complained to his brother, and Emperor Xiande had a fit. The eunuch went back and beat and scolded the wet nurse. The wet nurse treated him coldly the next day without touching her, but her mouth was sharper than a knife. Li Jianheng did not dare to mention it to anyone again.When he still had trouble speaking serious words, he learned a lot of vulgar words first.

The wet nurse told him that his biological mother was a slut in the palace, and because of a secret pregnancy, she was detained in the courtyard for recuperation by the former queen.It was said that he was recovering from illness, but he could not leave the house for several years. He was so ill that he was almost dead. He still dreamed of meeting and talking to his son all day long.

When Li Jianheng was five years old, Emperor Guangcheng came to Lu’s palace to test Emperor Xiande Li Jianyun’s homework. When father and son were answering questions, Li Jianheng was playing with others while holding a cricket in his hand. Emperor Guangcheng saw it and called him to him. It was the first time he met his biological father face to face.

Emperor Guangcheng asked him some words.

Li Jianheng held the cricket in his palm, not daring to look at Emperor Guangcheng, and his words were not beautiful, and he stammered and didn’t know anything.

Emperor Guangcheng felt that he was stupid. He was five years old, could not speak well, could not do all the etiquette, was timid, and did not have the aura of a nobleman from Tianhuang.

Li Jianheng wanted to talk to Emperor Guangcheng, but he was afraid. He felt that this was not his father. He even cried during the long inquiry.When he cried, Emperor Guangcheng completely disliked him, and the first time became the last time between he and Emperor Guangcheng.After Emperor Guangcheng left, Li Jianheng discovered that the cricket in his palm had been crushed to death without knowing it.

Li Jianyun felt that this younger brother was too useless. He was in good health at that time and was the most favored prince below the crown prince.He felt sorry for Li Jianheng, so he begged Emperor Guangcheng and started taking Li Jianheng to school.

Li Jianheng got to know the brothers, but they were all well-dressed and well-off, and Li Jianheng gradually realized that they were not his brothers.He laughs at he, he talks about etiquette, he presses he and salutes.Li Jianheng didn’t understand. He didn’t need to kneel down and kowtow when he saw his brothers, but his brothers taught him this. When he did this, no one from the eunuch Gong E came to help him.

Only when the prince and Li Jianyun are around, can everyone respect each other as brothers and sisters.Li Jianheng could not say anything, and no one said anything. He gradually stopped going to school on time, played tricks on Li Jianyun, pretended to be sick and stayed in bed, and would not go if he could.Li Jianyun felt that he was a dead wood that could not be taught and could not be broken properly, so he gradually gave up.

One time, Li Jianheng and the eunuchs went into a dog hole. When he got through, the little eunuchs covered their mouths and snickered, and gave him candies from the dessert room.He is like a puppy looking for food, coaxed by the few melted candies to wag its tail.He got a lot of things he had never eaten in the dog hole, and he also saw his mother in the dog hole.

Li Jianheng didn’t recognize Leshi.

The eunuch encouraged Li Jianheng and called Le Shi “a coward and a sick ghost”. Li Jianheng spat at Le Shi and called her a “coward and a sick ghost”.Le Shi leaned against the wall and watched him cry. Li Jianheng thought this woman was so weird, which made him feel frightened and made him want to cry too.

After returning home, the wet nurse scolded Li Jianheng again. Li Jianheng wanted to pee in the middle of the night and heard the wet nurse having an affair with the eunuch who was encouraging him to curse.After he peed, he kicked the chamber pot and was caught by two men.

The wet nurse was afraid that Li Jianheng would tell others, so after that night she gave him a lot of candies, and she no longer scolded him. She wanted to hold him in her arms and coax him all day long.There are many kinds of candies, one of which is called Siwo Tiger Eye Candy. There is only a little bit of it every day. Li Jianheng is reluctant to eat it, so he follows Li Jianyun every day and asks his brother to eat it.But starting from that year, Li Jianyun’s health gradually failed, and he was eventually too sick to even go to school.

Mrs. Lu checked the food and drinks in the palace, but found nothing. She cried to Li Jianyun all night long. The imperial doctors came and went, but Li Jianyun never recovered.

The wet nurse stopped giving candy to Li Jianheng. When Li Jianheng clamored for it, the wet nurse told him that the sick coward living in the East Garden wanted to file a complaint because he had been scolded by Li Jianheng, and Li Jianheng was not allowed to eat candy anymore.Li Jianheng has always been thinking about Siwo Tiger Eye Candy, so he hates the sick woman.The wet nurse also said that if Li Jianheng wanted to eat candy again, he would have to complain to Mr. Lu, saying that the previous candy was given by the sick woman.

Li Jianheng did not dare to tell Mr. Lu, so he secretly told Li Jianyun. Li Jianyun was lying on the couch and looked at him. At that moment, Li Jianheng felt that his brother was like his father.

Li Jianheng was woken up at night, and the nanny took him out. He heard a “clattering” sound in the main hall.Behind the curtain, he saw a longing figure. Li Jianyun was lying on the couch with his arms wrapped in a cloak, waving to him.

Li Jianheng ran over.

The sick woman was half-naked, and her head was pressed into the swill bucket. She was pushed in again and again, choking out water, and the water was poured in through her mouth and nose, and her fingernails were peeled to pieces.

Li Jianyun supported Li Jianheng’s body and said nothing.Li Jianheng was frightened and looked back at Li Jianyun several times, but Li Jianyun didn’t smile, so Li Jianheng didn’t dare to smile.

The sick woman was pressed into the bucket, and there was a “gurgling” sound. She scratched the bucket painfully, picking at sawdust with her thin fingers, and the gaps between her fingernails were dirty and rotten.

Li Jianheng looked at her, but couldn’t remember her face clearly., but the “crash” sound has always been with his memory.The wet nurse is a tall and healthy woman, but Li Jianheng doesn’t like her. All the women he chooses in the future are either petite or sickly.

Li Jianheng doesn’t like water either. He thinks it’s very dirty.

After that night, the wet nurse treated him well, and Li Jianyun also treated him well, but no one mentioned his studying anymore, and Li Jianyun no longer restricted him from practicing calligraphy.Li Jianyun even assigned eunuchs to play with him, and Li Jianheng was completely free. He played until he fell asleep all day long. When he grew to a teenager and wanted to divide his house, Li Jianyun sent many beauties to his house.Li Jianheng tasted the taste and understood the joy of indulging in beauty, and he was out of control from then on.

Until many years later.

Only then did Li Jianheng find out that the sick woman was Le’s family.

“My mother is the current Queen Mother!”

Li Jianheng’s fingers trembled. He seemed to be saying “he” to Xi Hongxuan, but also seemed to say it to himself, and he recited this sentence over and over like a maniac.

Xi Hongxuan sniffed and listened to he babbled endlessly. He couldn’t help but grinned and said, “Your Majesty, if everyone wants to think so, the Queen Mother must be given enough honor. Now the Queen Mother…hiss.” He gasped in pain, and continued, “She is missing a son!”

Li Jianheng’s chest hurt as he gasped. He wiped away his tears with his fingers and said, “I…I know!”

“I think you may not know.” Xi Hongxuan said.

Li Jianheng said: “Who gave you the courage to talk to me like this here…here?”

“When a man is about to die, his words are also good.” Blood oozed from Xi Hongxuan’s mouth, he spat a few more times, and then said, “If you and I can’t get out today, there will be no monarchs and ministers. They are just rats in the pit, waiting for the water to flood and hold their breath! What kind of emperor are you? Previously, when Xiao Er was lifted to the dragon throne, he flattered you like an ancestor! Have you forgotten? You are his master, heI should risk my life to save you!How can I be grateful to my son and grandson?We, Xiao, are all so powerful with the Libei Iron Cavalry. A few decades ago, how could such a ridiculous thing happen before me?I look at you, I am really anxious!What does it feel like for the emperor to reach this point?It is better for you to stay in this position and suffer from cowardism than to drown here with me today.”

He talked for a long time, grinning in pain, and after a moment of relief, he suddenly choked up again when he heard Li Jianheng’s sobs.

“Your Majesty…” Xi Hongxuan said sincerely, “My mother is a girl from Qinzhou and comes from a humble background. She is favored by my father only because sheI made some money with the guidance of Mrs. Yao.You see, I am the second son, but I don’t live like a normal person at home.Why did I dare to go to the sea to beg for food at the age of eighteen?It’s all because my parents wanted to hand over this huge family fortune to my elder brother!The suffering damaged my vitality, and I spent more than half a year recovering in Qinzhou.You see, I am now terribly fat. It was all because of my efforts to save my life.Haha!But before I was injured, I met a woman who was very cute.Before I went to sea, I made an appointment.She is already married to him and has become my sister-in-law.Xi Guan, my dear brother, even my woman has to take care of me when I am in trouble.Where can I find such a good brother?”

Xi Hongxuan was crying and laughing in this dark and humid cramped place.

HeIf Xiao Er treats you with a little sincerity, how can you make Xiao Jiming say that in front of the emperor?Isn’t it just bullying?Look at Shen Ba, is it such a good place to treat Shen Wei?At the age of fifteen, he fell into the hands of Ji Lei and rolled around in prison. Now he is out, but it looks like he has been raised as a ghost.Everyone in this world is pitiful.If you pity everyone, what can the emperor do?Di Mie, Your Majesty, don’t listen to those nonsense about your birth mother being humble. Your surname is Li and my surname is Xi.That’s enough!People are born to be distinguished! Princes, generals, and ministers are all fools. They don’t follow the rules.How can you be born into a country called Li Jianheng?He Xiao Chiye is superior!What are you afraid of if Mr. Xiao dares to do so?You are the one who wants the people of the world.No matter what you do, you are just a traitor!Who in the world dares to disobey you?”

This is the emperor!

Li Jianheng felt that these words were deafening and enlightening, and he was like waking up from a dream.In this wet, dirty pit, he understood who he was for the first time.He burst into tears at some point, recalling all the past events and feeling that all his life was in vain.

Xi Hongxuan refused to let go of this opportunity and said with force, “heAre they laughing at you for being ignorant and afraid of death?When the knife is not on your neck, you will probably wet your pants when the knife is on your neck!You are an emperor, not a craftsman!The students raised by the Imperial College will answer the questions for you.Isn’t that what the cabinet does?You are the emperor, you are an emperor!

“I am the emperor…” Li Jianheng felt cold and hot, he trembled, and repeated, “You are right, I am the emperor.”

Xi Hongxuan controlled the heat, and when he saw that it was almost done, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Whose mother ate the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard!They were doing tricks in the Ouhua Building. Once the building collapsed and the water was flushed, nothing could be found. The blame was firmly placed on He Xi Hongxuan’s head.If he can’t hold Li Jianheng under control, the mere impeachment by the Metropolitan Procuratorate will expose him after he gets out.The new head of the Ministry of Household Examination Department cannot be retained, and it is possible that Hai Liangyi will be beheaded after this incident.

Xi Hongxuan was in this dirty water, carefully combing through his network of people.He neither wants to die, nor does he want to be exiled. He finally kicked off Xi Guan and climbed to this position, and met a once-in-a-lifetime “good master” like Li Jianheng. He has to live.

Come on.

Xi Hongxuan’s lips turned white due to blood loss, he muttered silently.

Xue Xiuzhuo, Hai Liangyi, Shen Zechuan and even Xiao Chiye, anyone can take them out quickly. Li Jianheng is determined not to die here. If Li Jianheng dies here, everything he has done in the past will be in vain.

Just when Xi Hongxuan was about to close his eyes, there was a sudden “bang” from above, and then debris from the broken wall rolled down, and smelly water rushed in. Various sounds were mixed in the heavy rain.

Xi Hongxuan almost cried with joy. He listened to Li Jianheng being hoisted up, and the heavy object holding him was also lifted away amidst the chorus of shouts from the Forbidden Army.

The smelly water had reached half of Xi Hongxuan’s waist. He moved his arms and shouted: “Help, help——”

Xiao Chiye looked down at Xi Hongxuan. The heavy rain washed over him, and Xi Hongxuan suddenly felt a chill.The water suddenly rose to Xi Hongxuan’s chest, but Xiao Chiye still had no intention of pulling him.

“Xiao Er…” Xi Hongxuan bit the words with hatred, and the water quickly overflowed his head. He struggled hard, choking on the dirty water, and struggled to survive.

By the time Xi Hongxuan was dragged up, he was already covered in foul-smelling water.When Xiao Chiye mentioned he, he grabbed Xiao Chiye’s arm fiercely, stretched his neck in embarrassment, gasped and whispered: “I, fuck, you, old, mother!”

Xiao Chiye turned his hand and pushed him down. Xi Hongxuan was clawing at the mud, and his mouth and nose were covered with sand. The suffocation forced him to pull at him with all his strength, but he was unable to shake Xiao Chiye’s iron arm.

Xiao Chiye had murderous intentions, but he couldn’t really kill him.The people behind had not finished evacuating, and Li Jianheng was still awake when he went out.

Xiao Chiye lifted the back of his collar, bowed his head and said solemnly, “Say it to me again.”
