Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

Chapter 266 Ah Bai Is Still Alive?

The voice just fell, and then, the person came out, his face was still tired from a big dream, but his voice was terribly cold, "The queen mother is a woman who has nothing to do, and came all the way to the Yilan Palace to repair me? "

"Emperor, you are so outrageous!" The empress dowager was still angry, "It's all right to be rude when you see Ai's family. Listen, what is your attitude?"

"Why, isn't what I said right?" Emperor Xuanzong raised his eyes and looked at Empress Dowager Zhu. During this speechless moment, everyone felt very cold, and the soles of their feet felt cold. If this kind of thing gets out and the reputation is bad, it can’t be my beloved concubine, right?”

"You!" Empress Dowager Zhu's teeth were itching with hatred, "Presumptuous!"

Emperor Xuanzong hugged Concubine Qin into his arms in front of Empress Dowager Zhu, caressingly brushed her hair at the sideburns, his voice was a little impatient, "Queen Mother, please!"

"Okay, okay." Empress Dowager Zhu sneered suddenly, "When the son grows up and his wings become stiff, the Ai family can't control you anymore. Since you want to live like this with the Ai family for a woman, then why don't you let the mother-child relationship go straight It’s okay to judge the kindness and righteousness, if the Ai family cares about you again in the future, they will swear not to be human.”

This is a heavy oath, but everyone who heard it broke out in a cold sweat. The emperor and the queen mother did not get along because of Concubine Qin. It seems that all the so-called "disagreements" only exist in "hearing". For most palace eunuchs and eunuchs, it is the first time for a direct war like today. Eyes and ears, see nothing and hear nothing.

You must know that it is not easy for them to be servants, especially with such a powerful master, if she does not hesitate to make a big change in Shouan Palace in order to silence her, then all the servants who followed the Queen Mother Luanjia today will suffer.

In fact, not to mention the palace eunuchs, even Emperor Xuanzong was taken aback for a moment. In his impression, although he would have disputes with his mother every time because of Concubine Qin, the mother never let go of harsh words, and she was angry every time. It's over, so what should I do, but today...why do you feel that something is wrong today?The empress's turn of events was too fast.

Although the premonition in his heart was not very good, Emperor Xuanzong would rather believe that it was his own suspicion. He shook his head, turned around and said coldly to the palace eunuch behind him, "Respectfully send off the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Zhu's face had already turned calm from the previous rage, if someone who didn't know saw it, it would be impossible to see the traces of rage just now from her face.

After all, it is a person who has been in a high position for many years, and there is still some calmness.

After leaving Yilan Palace, Empress Dowager Zhu stood on the palace road for nearly a cup of tea. During this period, all the servants of Shouan Palace stood on both sides with their heads down, holding their breath and not daring to breathe, fearing that this was just The calm before the storm, after a while the queen mother will bring the remaining anger to herself.

But to my surprise, no, Empress Dowager Zhu was not angry at all, as if she had completely forgotten the unhappiness just now in this short cup of tea.

The low-ranking palace people who didn't know her thought such Queen Mother Zhu was terrible, but those who knew her close servants such as Nanny Min and Chief Eunuch felt that the Queen Mother might go to extremes.

I said earlier that those who can serve the Queen Mother are all good people. Even if they don't completely understand the Queen Mother's mind, some people still know very well that it is against etiquette and law. The law is even an ambition that goes against the law of heaven, but they have been with the Queen Mother Zhu for a long time, and the shock at the beginning has long been transformed into the current numbness and calmness, so even if Sister Min Wei and Manager Wei guessed what the Queen Mother would do next They didn't dare to say a word, let alone try to figure out how to take practical actions for their own ambitions. They were all quiet and pretended not to know.

And what Empress Dowager Zhu wants is this kind of smart person. Whoever dares to put those words on the surface and say a word, then his end will definitely be worse than direct death.

What was she thinking during the tea time just now?I was thinking that since that wicked son dared to disobey her again and again for an old woman, why should she care about the so-called "mother-child relationship" that has been torn apart for a long time?It seems that if he doesn't make a move, he doesn't know how powerful he is.

Well, just wait and see!
"Director Wei, pass on the news that from now on, the cabinet's memorials will not have to pass through the Imperial Study Room, but will be sent directly to the Ai Family's Shou'an Palace. In addition, there will be seats for the Ai Family in the Political Hall."

Director Wei turned pale with shock, is it obvious that he wants to directly interfere in politics and listen to politics behind a curtain?

Just as she was about to retreat, she heard the Empress Dowager say again: "If the old fellows in the cabinet ask the reason, you can just say that the emperor's licentiousness is embarrassing, and the Ai family is afraid that the country will collapse, so they have no choice but to make such a bad plan."

"Slave obeys the order." At this time, whoever dares to disobey or ask half a word of question, just wait to lose his head, he is not that stupid.

Director Wei quickly went to the cabinet to pass on the Queen Mother's edict, and the words fell, and those old guys exploded all of a sudden.

"Director Wei, are you kidding me? The Empress Dowager dares to ask someone to come directly to the cabinet to send all the memorials to Shou'an Palace?"

Manager Wei raised his chin and looked at the speaker, with a look of "what, you dare to question the Queen Mother?" The man realized something, and immediately lowered his head and stopped speaking.

"Where are the others?" Manager Wei glanced around, "If you have any other ideas, let's talk about it together, so our family can go back and report it to the Queen Mother."

High opinion?Anyone who dares to have a "high opinion", the Empress Dowager Ming'er will definitely make your head hang high.

This is a blatant threat. The seniors who have already smelled the signs dare not say anything, and a master of the side branch of the Tai family who has just entered the cabinet may not have been tempered enough, and his tough arrogance has not been restrained. Grinding tact, or maybe he wanted to show his ability to have a deep chest at this moment (the moment when the old oil guys are speechless), so he took the initiative to stand up and criticize, with sharp and sharp words, and every word went straight to the Empress Dowager Zhu , satirizing her as a woman who dared to act recklessly and treat the court as a trifling matter.

The other elders who knew the inside story couldn't help sweating secretly for the master of the Tai family - even though your Tai family belongs to the emperor's faction, there is no need to show the empress dowager's hatred so obviously, right?

Then, Manager Wei passed on the words of this man back intact.

Then, the Empress Dowager told him with practical actions that she really treated the court as a child's play-you don't accept it?Very good, with integrity, I will give you a serious crime of disobeying the Queen Mother's order, and send you to prison and beheaded.

This move seems to be punishing the "newcomer" in the cabinet who didn't know the importance, but everyone else knows that the Queen Mother is trying to make an example to the monkeys. Others can see that Beiyan's world has changed, and whoever dares to join the emperor's side will send you to prison to accompany that person.

So, should these "monkeys" put their hair down and let the Queen Mother do what they want, or should they stand up and criticize the Queen Mother for all kinds of things?
Only a fool would choose the former. Anyone who has been in contact with Beiyan knows how powerful the Queen Mother is. If you offend her, she will slowly pluck out all the hair on your body and then peel off three layers of skin for you.

Several elders discussed for a whole morning, and finally decided to be blind. As for the reason?The knife is up to your neck, do you choose a tree to live on, or take out your pride and continue to carry it to the death?
Of course, this is only part of the reason. The most important thing is that the chief assistant of the cabinet and several veterans of the two dynasties knew in their hearts that Emperor Xuanzong's decisions on many government affairs were all guided by the Empress Dowager Zhu. Wan can't be so reckless and resolute.

Therefore, regardless of her identity as a woman, Beiyan, the queen mother, is very talented in governance.

So the next day, a large number of memorials were sent to Shou'an Palace so unabashedly, and when he was in court, Emperor Xuanzong felt as if he had been emptied, because the ministers who made the memorial asked him for his opinion. As if coping, everyone looked behind the bead curtain instead, as if they were waiting for her to make the final verdict.

Emperor Xuanzong was furious. He grabbed a certain minister who was reporting and scolded severely. His words showed his dissatisfaction with the queen mother's monopoly on power. However, no matter how angry he was, none of the ministers below came out to take a breath. .

Emperor Xuanzong moved his eyes to Yi Zhuoming, his eyes were full of hostility, "Is Prime Minister Yi free to play this morning?"

Indeed, Yi Zhuoming hasn't spoken since he entered the Palace of Political Affairs, not to mention him, the humerus ministers who usually talk when they go to court, all remain silent, as if they were being choked by someone. of.

In fact, they were not pinched by someone's throat, but their weakness was pinched by the Queen Mother.

And Yi Zhuoming, as the head of the hundred officials, his "weakness" is even more fatal--Lu Qingwan's identity and Yi Bai's origin.

The queen mother made it clear that she wanted to break the can, and once Yi Zhuoming disapproved of her taking power, she immediately revealed the truth of the year.

Empress Dowager Zhu is determined to usurp power, of course she doesn't care about the ridiculous "royal reputation", but Yi Zhuoming is different, once those things are exposed, the green hat on his head will be completely confirmed, he just wants to deceive I can't do it myself.

Therefore, Prime Minister Yi, who has always been very assertive, was rarely silent, and the chief minister of the cabinet was also choked to death by the queen mother, so that when other ministers frequently asked the queen mother for her opinion, he was the same as Prime Minister Yi. Keep silent.

"Why, are you all dumb?" Emperor Xuanzong jumped into a rage, and his questioning voice was roaring, echoing in the originally silent Palace of Political Affairs. Tell Emperor Xuanzong that they actually don't want the queen mother to take power, but they have to bow their heads because they have the handle in their hands.

"Get out, everyone!" Emperor Xuanzong was so angry that he dropped a teacup.

Civil and military officials remained motionless.

At this time, Empress Dowager Zhu's voice came from behind the bead curtain, "Emperor, you should change your temper."

The muscles on Emperor Xuanzong's face trembled, and his sharp eyes were fixed on the direction of the bead curtain, "Why, it's only the first day that the mother takes power, and she can't wait to throw me off this dragon chair?"

"Why the Ai family did this, you know very well." Empress Dowager Zhu didn't take it seriously at all.

Emperor Xuanzong sneered, "Isn't it because I spoiled Concubine Qin too much? The queen mother is so eager to replace me? Tell you, I'm not dead yet!"

The last sentence was almost snarled, it didn't scare the Queen Mother, but it scared all the courtiers down to turn pale.

The war between the mother and son has finally begun. From now on, these courtiers will be in dire straits every day. Alas, I don’t know when this day will end.

Regarding Emperor Xuanzong's words, Empress Dowager Zhu naturally didn't listen to her - since she is already in power anyway, what else can you do to your old lady?

Emperor Xuanzong was so angry that he lifted the table and left, and met Empress Lin in the imperial garden. Seeing that his expression was not right, Empress Lin dared not ask any more questions, but greeted him according to the etiquette.

Emperor Xuanzong snorted coldly, strode forward a few steps, paused again, turned around, and stared at Queen Lin.

Empress Lin was stared into hair all over, her voice trembling, "Your... Your Majesty, but what else do you want to tell me?"

"I heard that you have been getting very close to the Queen Mother recently?" Emperor Xuanzong's eyes did not hide the suspicion at all, and that face clearly showed signs of an outbreak.

That's right, he planned to take the anger he received from his old lady on his daughter-in-law.

Speaking of this Emperor Xuanzong, you say he is a man, he can do such a useless thing as venting his anger on his wife, but you have to say that he is not a man, once he has something to do with Qin Guifei, don't say it is just arguing with the Queen Mother On the other hand, if you ask him to kill someone, he probably won't even blink his eyes.

But now-

Empress Lin felt chills in her heart. She had learned about the fact that the empress dowager listened to the government behind the curtain and caused the emperor to be furious. The queen's posthumous post for so many years is in vain. She, the nominal husband, wants to find a reason for it!
"Yes, the concubine is indeed very close to the empress dowager." Suddenly straightened her back, Empress Lin was neither humble nor overbearing, and did not look at Emperor Xuanzong, her face was indifferent.

Since Lang has no heart, why should she hold her heart up again and again and let others ruin it? At least she is on the Queen Mother's side, and the Queen Mother can protect her from being bullied casually by anyone.

Besides, why did the Empress Dowager want to take power by herself?Isn't it because of Qin Guifei's charming son, you, an emperor, don't find reasons from yourself, so you have the nerve to take all your anger on your own wife?You have the face to vent your anger, so naturally I have the face to pull the tiger skin as a banner and tell you directly that I have the big backing of the Empress Dowager, let's see what you can do to me.

This stubborn look really aroused Emperor Xuanzong's anger, and he raised his hand.

Empress Lin remained motionless, as if she was ready to give him a big mouthful.

Emperor Xuanzong hesitated at the last moment, not sure if it was because he remembered something or because he couldn't bear her.

But Empress Lin thinks the former is the most likely, as for the latter?That's unless it's her wishful thinking.

In the eyes of this man, apart from Concubine Qin, there is no beauty in this world anymore, but in fact, Empress Lin does not think that Concubine Qin's beauty can overwhelm her, at most she is a little more mature and charming than herself That's all.

Empress Lin sometimes couldn't understand, Qin Guifei could be Emperor Xuanzong's wife, how could Emperor Xuanzong talk to such a woman?
On the first and fifteenth day of each month, when Emperor Xuanzong had to come to Changle Palace according to the etiquette, Empress Lin would show an extremely indifferent attitude on that matter. How many places on the old woman Qin Guifei used to be used to treat her now, she feels sick and disgusted.

If Concubine Qin was a watery beauty, Empress Lin would have nothing to say, but...

Thinking of this, Empress Lin regretted, why did she marry into the palace to be the queen of Lao Shizi, and the mother's ceremonies, which are endlessly honored and favored by the world, are all deceitful. The husband who killed his wife, she would rather marry more ordinary, at least she can feel the so-called "shared joys and sorrows" between husband and wife.

"Do you also think I'm useless?"

After waiting for such a sentence for a long time, Empress Lin was very surprised. She raised her head and saw a trace of despair and helplessness on Emperor Xuanzong's face.

Empress Lin sneered in her heart, aren't you just useless and useless?You only know how to protect that foxy son all day long. How do you think you came to be the emperor? It was because the queen mother blocked all the brothers' schemes for you before you could be crowned the great treasure. Now, the person who gave you all the honor regretted it , I want to take all of this back, how can you, who is always used to enjoying yourself, have the ability to compete with her?
At an angle that Emperor Xuanzong couldn't see, Empress Lin curved her lips into a happy smile, and she was overwhelmed in her heart, the Queen Mother has won the right!Happy!
In just a moment, Empress Lin calmed down all her emotions, and she still had the same indifferent look before, "Since the wedding, the emperor has been to Changle Palace very rarely, so that after so many years, the concubine is still alive. I know what kind of person the emperor is. Now if you ask me this way, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for my concubine? Otherwise, you can ask Concubine Qin, she must know everything about you, such a caring person, you will know after a while There is no end to words.”

Empress Lin had just finished speaking when she noticed that Emperor Xuanzong's face was terribly gloomy, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

Empress Lin was of course afraid, but she knew that at times like this, she would not be able to be stage fright, otherwise the angry emperor would take advantage of the loophole.

"This concubine is telling the truth." Empress Lin continued to add, "If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask other concubines to see if they will give you the same answer as my concubine."

Of course, Emperor Xuanzong didn't believe it, and then he asked other concubines as if he was angry. Not to mention, there were a few of them that were answered by Empress Lin. Of course, it was only a few. In such a situation, it is natural that against one's will, one would praise the emperor for his wisdom and martial arts.

These words are flattering and flattering, and there is not much truth in them. If it were changed in the past, Emperor Xuanzong would definitely like to listen to it, but today is different. With the Queen Mother seizing power first, he is helpless, and now he will listen to these flattery. If he does, he finds it ironic.

So, those who asked him to ask Concubine Qin were all safe and sound, but those who said a lot of nice words, each of them ate a loud and clear big mouth, and they were all stunned, completely unaware What I said was wrong and what I did wrong.

Emperor Xuanzong finally went to Concubine Qin.

Concubine Qin's maid was painting Koudan on her nails, when she heard the news of the emperor's arrival, Concubine Qin retreated to the left and right, gathered her thin skirt, and gracefully walked to the entrance of the hall and knelt down to greet her.

"I don't need to be too polite to love my concubine." No matter how irritable the mood is, it can disappear without a trace after hearing Qin Guifei's touching voice.

Taking advantage of the situation and hugging her waist, Emperor Xuanzong just brought her to the couch in the inner room.

Concubine Qin giggled, "Your Majesty, it's broad daylight, don't you want the Queen Mother to catch you again?"

When mentioning the queen mother, Emperor Xuanzong lost all interest and his face was completely dark.

Concubine Qin was taken aback for a moment, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Xuanzong supported half of his cheeks on his elbows, lying on his side and watching her kneeling on the couch, "All the memorials of the cabinet have gone to Shou'an Palace, and the Queen Mother has also started to listen to politics behind the curtain this morning, and even put the Tai family just into the cabinet. One of my masters is looking forward to beheading the prisoner, my concubine, tell me, isn't it very useless for me to be emptied of power like this?"

Concubine Qin gently blew on the half-dried Kou Dan on her nails, and said casually: "Has the emperor been robbed of his power?"

"Ah."

Emperor Xuanzong was actually a little nervous, no matter how the person in front of him was also his favorite person.All along, he only knew that he cared about her very much, but when it comes to what he really cares about her, he can't say, he just thinks that there is an indescribable magical power in her that can make him madly infatuated, and once he is infatuated, he can't bear it anymore Let go, like an addiction.

So before today, Emperor Xuanzong hadn't really calmed down to think about what kind of person Qin Guifei was, as if he didn't care about her character at all.

But now, he cares about her opinion, and he is even more afraid that she is also a member of the "brainless palace concubine", who will only say nice things to numb him, and he has praised all the nice things before, he doesn't know If those words also came from Qin Guifei's mouth, would he be able to get rid of that hand?

"What are you afraid of, just grab it back."

Emperor Xuanzong's eyes widened suddenly, "What did you say?" No one dared to say such arrogant words, but Emperor Xuanzong's face was full of ecstasy and excitement, because at least from this incident, he proved that Qin The imperial concubine is not a brainless person, on the contrary, she is very "ambitious" and courageous, daring to say such things in front of the emperor.

Putting Concubine Qin into his arms, Emperor Xuanzong's voice was much softer, and he stroked her hair, "Aifei is talking about it, how can I grab it?"

Concubine Qin Guifei asked instead: "Isn't Your Majesty afraid that civil and military officials will impeach my concubine for meddling in politics?"

"This matter is only known to God and the earth, and no one else knows." Emperor Xuanzong bit her earlobe.

Concubine Qin said: "Since ancient times, there has been no reason for a woman to be in power. If the emperor speaks out of the patriarchal system inherited from the ancestors, the Queen Mother must have no way to refute it."

Of course, Emperor Xuanzong knew about this, but, "The courtiers fell to one side overnight, and all of them turned to the Queen Mother. I'm afraid that I will move out of the patriarchal system now and there is no way to shake them."

Concubine Qin was still gently blowing on the Kou Dan on her nails, her delicately cared hands were white and tender, and they were so beautiful. Emperor Xuanzong sniffed them and praised with a smile, "Concubine Ai smells so good on her body."

"Is it fragrant?" Qin Guifei curled her lips.

"It's more fragrant than before." Emperor Xuanzong closed his eyes, looking very enjoying it.

Concubine Qin giggled, and gently pushed away the restless hand of Emperor Xuanzong walking on her body, "As long as he is a human being, he will have weaknesses, no matter how powerful he is, once he is squeezed If he stays in his death spot, he will not be able to move an inch, and he can only let others do whatever he wants."

Emperor Xuanzong's eyes narrowed, "So, the Empress Dowager has grasped the death spot of all the ministers?"

"Other than that, there is no other explanation."

Hearing these words, Emperor Xuanzong felt chills all over his body, and his heart fell into an ice cellar. If the queen mother has information on so many people, when did she start to investigate, and she did it all without telling him?This kind of ambition, I'm afraid it's not one day, two days, one year, two years, right?
This woman is like a poisonous snake that silently climbed onto your back. You never know when she will open her mouth to bite you. It is simply too terrifying and creepy.

"If the emperor can also get their death spot, wouldn't everything be solved?"

Emperor Xuanzong still couldn't understand, "The Queen Mother took care of them first, so it won't be too late for me to investigate their culprits now? And even if we can really find out in a short time, who can guarantee that it will be effective?" ?”

Concubine Qin wrapped her arms around his neck, exhaled like blue, "Why did the emperor forget? The patriarchal system does not allow the harem to interfere in politics. If you pinch the deathbed of the minister of civil and military affairs, you can use the status of the emperor to suppress it openly, and The Empress Dowager dare not do this, she can only do it in secret, so there will be some detours for a long time, at this point, the emperor has the advantage, as long as you act first, you can easily win this round."

Emperor Xuanzong suddenly became enlightened, "That's right, my concubine, you are really a blessing to me, and it's okay to be considerate on a daily basis, but you can even give me advice on this kind of matter, tell me, how do you want me to reward you?" ? Huh?" As she spoke, she had already overwhelmed her, and reached out to untie the clothes on her body.

"Well... don't worry, Your Majesty, it's still early!"

The rest of the words were blocked by Emperor Xuanzong's mouth.

……

Yi Bai was not surprised to receive the news that Empress Dowager Zhu was in power at the first time.

"A member of the Tai family was sentenced to be a prisoner? He is still an elder, which is a problem." Looking at the content of the information, he frowned again.

It was agreed with Mrs. Tai at the beginning that it is okay for the Tai family to stand in line with Emperor Xuanzong, but now that something happened, Mrs. Tai must have become an ant on the hot pot long ago, but she couldn't find his trace, otherwise she would be directly Come to kill.

Although the sacrifice of the old man would be the best trigger to completely anger the Tai family to support Emperor Xuanzong's rebellion against the Queen Mother Zhu, but from the perspective of the Tai family, the old lady would never think it was a good thing.

Convinced that Mrs. Tai must be looking for him, Yi Bai came to the teahouse again, and found out that Mrs. Tai was in the private room on the third floor without any surprise.

He went upstairs and knocked on the door, and then Yi Bai saw Mrs. Tai's face that was about to split open with anger.

"How did you tell me back then that as long as the Tai family stood in line with the emperor, they would be safe and sound. Heh, the Tai family has not done anything yet, and someone has already suffered. You have to understand this matter with me today." , otherwise don't blame me for being cruel!"

People who place too much importance on the family will naturally only put the interests of the family first. This is exactly the case for Mrs. Tai. Compared with the Tai family, Yi Bai is worthless in her eyes. As long as the Tai family can turn the crisis into safety, even if the Tai family She confessed to Yi Bai, and she might not even frown.

When he brought up revenge in the secret room, Yi Bai saw many things very clearly, so he was not surprised at all when he heard Mrs. Tai say this, and his tone was very light, "It's just an innocuous little guy. That's all, if you sacrifice, you will sacrifice, how can the old lady put this account on my head?"

Little guy?That is the only elder of the Tai family, the pillar!
"But at the beginning we clearly talked well." Mrs. Tai seemed to be planning to stick to this point.

Yi Bai was a little impatient, "So what if it's settled, the people of the Tai family have no brains, so how can you blame me for not controlling the overall situation?"

Old Madam Tai choked immediately, why did that master offend the Queen Mother, Da'er told her in detail, it was true that that man had no brains and liked to show off first, and had nothing to do with Yi Bai's half a penny, but, Why does Mrs. Tai feel that the current situation is not at all what she expected?
The queen mother directly seized the power, obviously leaving no room for Emperor Xuanzong. If the Tai family continued to stand in line with Emperor Xuanzong, she could not imagine what would happen later.

Just because of my subjective speculation, I blamed all the crimes on Yi Bai, and never looked back. Even if Yi Bai didn't show up, the Tai family would always stand by Emperor Xuanzong. If there was no Yi Bai, many things would happen. It might be worse than it is now.

Yi Bai didn't bother to explain these things to her, he just said a word coldly and left.

He said: "If you want the Tai family to be stable, the old lady, as the mistress of the Tai family, should take care of those pig brains."

This time Empress Dowager Zhu was able to gain power unimpeded, not because she conquered the entire court with her excellent skills. She may really have skills that ordinary women cannot match, but it is not enough to make so many civil and military officials obediently bow their heads. I respect her to listen to the government behind the curtain, and she has indeed obtained the power of wearing red. It is due to the arrangement of eyeliner over the years and the control of all the courtiers' dead spots, which spread the dead spots of so many people in front of them overnight. No matter how good that person's psychological quality is, it's impossible to keep calm and pretend to be deep.

So anyone who has a little brain chooses to be silent, and chooses to be blind.

Only those few thoughtless people would think that this is a good opportunity for them to show their talents, but they have to come out to stir up trouble at such a critical moment, and in the end, who can blame them?

It wasn't long after she almost vomited blood from the anger last time, and it's no surprise that Madam Tai was irritated by Yi Bai again today, even more irritated than last time, she almost lost her footing when she went out, and returned to Tai's house , Before waiting for a few daughters-in-law to come to ask questions, her eyes darkened, and she was so depressed by the tone that she fainted.

Let’s say that Yi Bai left the teahouse and was about to go back to the south of the city, but accidentally saw an acquaintance standing opposite him——Yi Zhou.

The other party hasn't found him yet, and seems to be waiting for someone.

Yi Bai's eyes and pupils shrank, and he decided to take advantage of the crowds to go around the alley, maybe he could avoid it, otherwise, according to Yi Zhou's familiar temperament, even if he changed his previous dressing style, he would still have the same hair on his head. The curtains and hats are useless, Yi Zhou will definitely recognize it.

Before he finished thinking, Yi Bai had already followed the crowd to the alley, but he heard a low voice calling from behind, "Brother, please stay."

Yi Bai held his breath, but his feet didn't stop.

"Hey, your jade pendant fell off."

Yi Zhou's voice became louder.

Yi Bai didn't bother to talk to him, and continued walking forward.

"Who is that, I said..."

The arm was suddenly grabbed by someone.

Yi Bai frowned and turned around, and saw Yi Zhou's handsome smiling face through the dark weft, and raised a jade pendant in his hand, which was Lu Qingwan's relic.

Yi Bai thought it was not good. When he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, although he hadn't shown this thing to Yi Zhou before, it was guaranteed that Yi Zhou would know that it was his mother's relic and thus recognize his identity.

"Such a precious thing, if you say you don't want it, you don't want it?" Yi Zhou raised his eyebrows, grabbed the tassel on the jade pendant and shook it twice, "Brother, if you insist on not wanting it, how about giving it to me?"

Yi Bai didn't say a word, and stretched out his hand directly to him, with simple and rude intentions—give it back to me.

"So you can't talk?" Yi Zhou looked at him curiously.

Yi Bai nodded his head.

"It's okay to give it back to you, but I have a condition." Yi Zhou didn't give it back, and he didn't know why. He clearly just saw the other party for the first time, but somehow he felt a sense of deja vu.

Yi Bai still didn't make a sound, so Yi Zhou had no choice but to say, "Can you take off the veil and let me have a look?"

Naturally, Yi Bai couldn't agree to this request, so he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Hey! Are you up to it?" Yi Zhou looked gloomy, and caught up with him again, "I just think that your temperament is very similar to an old friend of mine, and I just want to confirm whether you are him."

Under the weft yarn, Yi Bai had an expression of "it really is so" on his face.

Yi Zhou is the person who knows him the most in this world, a small veiled hat really can't hide his sharp eyes.

However, Yi Bai didn't intend to meet Yi Zhou at this time, and even more, Yi Bai never thought about letting Yi Zhou know that he was still alive, lest he really die in a few months, and Yi Zhou would suffer again. crime.

Therefore, he would rather give up that jade pendant.

This time, no matter how much Yi Zhou yelled, he would not stay any longer, and immediately mixed into the crowd after breaking free from Yi Zhou.

Yi Zhou stood there in a daze, glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, and scratched the back of his head wonderingly, "It's weird, I'm not a cannibal, and I'm not a woman, so I don't even give a face? Hypocritical!" But What is this jade pendant, and why does it look so strange?
Back at the mansion, Yi Zhou threw the jade pendant on the table and lay down on the happy chair. It happened that Yi Zhuoming had something to do with him. Come over and pick it up, "Yi Zhou, where did you get this thing?"

Yi Zhou didn't understand, so he said, "When I went to the street today, a man wearing a veiled cap accidentally dropped it. He didn't want it, so I brought it back. Dad, why do you look so ugly? What's wrong with this jade pendant? ?"

Yi Zhuoming frowned tightly. He was sure that this was Lu Qingwan's relic, but... when Yi Bai was buried, he was the one who put the jade pendant in the coffin with his own hands. Could it be that he went to the funeral palace to replace it? When the prince was in the coffin, he was let out by those people from the imperial prison?

That's not the case, this jade pendant is very special, but it's not priceless. No matter how courageous the people in the imperial prison are, they have absolutely no reason to pick a worthless object from a dead person.

So, where did this thing come from?

Something is wrong, there must be something wrong here!

"Ah Zhou, let me use this thing first." After Yi Zhuoming finished speaking, he took the jade pendant and left. When Yi Zhou chased him out, he found that Yi Zhuoming had already left the house with the jade pendant. where.

Yi Zhuoming went to Jing'an Palace.

When he showed the jade pendant to King Jing'an, King Jing'an was also taken aback.

"My lord, is it the trick of Emperor Xuanzong's envoy?" Yi Zhuoming asked.

"This...I'm not sure yet." King Jing'an shook his head. Yi Zhuoming told him about the origin of this jade pendant, so when the late emperor was alive, King Jing'an didn't know the purpose of this thing at all. It's just that Chu Xiangyi wears it inseparably all day long. Even if the clothes don't match sometimes, she will try her best to find a place to hide the jade pendant, and even order a lot of clothes to match this jade pendant. skirt.

"The one on Jingshu was taken away by her." King Jing'an said with certainty, "And the boy from the first day of junior high school also wrote to me, saying that they are now in a place where no one can find them, and they are safe, so It is impossible for those two people to come back in a short time, which means that this jade pendant is not the one on Jingshu, so the remaining one..."

"When Ah Bai was buried, I put it in the coffin myself." Yi Zhuoming answered, "It's just that I'm not sure if someone let me out when changing the coffin midway."

Even if it was handed out by others, the biggest one might be Emperor Xuanzong, because it belonged to his father. Emperor Baobuqi told Emperor Xuanzong all the secrets before he died, and when he changed Yi Bai's coffin, Emperor Xuanzong happened to see the jade pendant again, so he secretly asked someone to take it out?

King Jing'an rubbed his thumb on the jade pendant twice, "Anyway, this matter has to be investigated, Zhuo Ming, don't do anything on your side, at most two days, my people will give you a letter Son."

"Then there will be Lord Lao."

Yi Zhuoming took the jade pendant back again.

Yi Zhou waited at the door, saw his father, immediately chased after him and asked, "Father, tell me quickly, what's wrong with this jade pendant?"

Yi Zhuoming was most annoyed by Yi Zhou's noisy temper, afraid that he would hold him back, so he simply said, "This is Ah Bai's relic."

"Brother's relic?" Yi Zhou's face changed drastically, and he murmured again: "Could it be... Could it be that person I met today..."

"Who did you meet?" Yi Zhuoming also became curious.

"I don't know." Yi Zhou shook his head, "He's wearing a veiled hat, so he can't see what he looks like, and I don't know if it's my illusion. I always feel that his figure and temperament are very much like my brother, but my brother clearly They're all dead."

After listening to Yi Zhou's words, Yi Zhuoming couldn't help but think of Yi Bai's strange death, and instantly thought of a certain possibility.
