Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 127

Los Angeles palace, the emperor's bedroom.

"Master, there is news from the hidden guards in the palace that Master Jia and Master Hui have made a move." The leader of the B Department hurriedly reported after receiving the news, "Master Jia followed the opportunity of Bingchen sneaking back to the palace to deliver the letter, and lied that there was someone in the palace. Assassins searched the harem, palaces, pavilions and pavilions wantonly, and did not let them go anywhere. It caused panic to everyone in the palace, and our people did not dare to make too much noise, so we did not find out what the good master found."

"Oh? You've grown your skills. Can there be any news from Minxian?" The emperor casually dropped the daily handbook from Yujingzhong, "How are Xiao Si and Xiao Wu in the court?"

"The eighth master sent news that both the fourth prince and the fifth prince were wooed many times by the people sent by the second grandpa of the Xiao family. The fifth prince had met them several times, in the Wangjiang Pavilion in the middle of the capital, where the master Jia belonged. The people left behind are the elites of the Ministry of Xin, and our people are just watching outside because they are afraid of making mistakes."

"Where is Xiao Si?" The emperor waved his hand indifferently, "Since the people from the Ministry of Xin are here, Xiao Wu will not be able to make big waves."

"Master Hui sent a message to ask you to pay attention to the fourth prince." The leader thought of Mrs. Huimin's report after Mrs. Shujia acted, and vaguely felt that the two had joined forces and wanted to hide something from the master.Only he couldn't say this, and he didn't dare to say it from a leader of his secret guards.

"Xiaosi, are you closely connected with the Liu family? Does the person who stares at the Liu family have any news in return?" The emperor was not surprised, he was also ambitious to find a fourth son.Back then in the Northwest, if he dared to shave his whole body, he wanted to pull down the third house of the Du family.Now Du Xianyu is not letting go of the Nanluo forces just because of the death of his own son.As long as he concentrates on the game between Nanluo and himself, the third prince of the court will not have much energy to pay attention.

He found his fourth son and said he was stupid, but he hit the right button and won opportunities and power for himself.If he said that he didn't take advantage of the chaos to make some noise this time, he wouldn't believe it.

"The people who watched the Liu family reported that there was no change. The fourth prince has been attending the court on time these days, and he is also very respectful to Lord Du. Master Hui must have reminded you when he saw that the fourth prince was normal."

"No, Minxian is always vigilant. Xiao Si, I'm afraid she has encountered a difficult matter and is being suppressed by others, so she can't come out with more specific news." The emperor's trust and understanding of Chen Minxian made the leader of the C department Surprised, he always thought that was the one the master trusted.After all, the Ministry of Xin was founded for that person, and because of that identity, the Ministry of Xin was not under the command of the dark guards and the Eight Kings.

"I understand, I will send more people to continue watching the fourth prince."

"What's the reason for Jia and Hui to attack Concubine De?"

"Before you left the palace, the maid who contradicted Concubine Xian was not punished at that time. Master Jia took advantage of that incident to directly put Concubine De under house arrest. Concubine De's Linzhi Palace is now guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, and she cannot come out without her order."

"Li Shi's confinement is also good, lest she lose her sense and mess up the overall situation." The emperor pondered for a while, then Fang said, "Let the people from Anbu withdraw from Concubine De's Linzhi Palace, and send more people to assist the Eight Kings."

"Eighth Master also sent a message that Madam Hu, who is next to Master Madam, appeared near Nanshan." The leader of Department C paused, "Eighth Master, please show me."

"I understand." The emperor's voice sank, "Just ask him to send someone to follow, and don't disturb the queen's cleanliness."

"Yes, this subordinate understands." The leader of Department C was in a cold sweat. Sure enough, the person the master cared most about was the Queen.

"Go down and prepare, and call Xin Yin back."

Los Angeles Palace, the Empress Dowager's Buddhist Hall.

"Sister Ning, have you figured out a way? I don't want to stay here for a day. This damn old woman dares to treat me like this. When I see the emperor, I will definitely make her look good!"

"Since sister Zhen is capable, why does she need me. I admire the queen mother a lot, and I am willing to pray for the queen mother."

"Come on, sister. We have to take the opportunity to go out. The old woman doesn't know how to torture us yet."

"Sister Zhen, is there no one in the palace to teach you the truth of the disaster? Why don't you want to have anything to do with me? I don't want to be implicated by you. I don't mind if I let you hear that you disrespect the Queen Mother." Hold your Zhen Wanyi's mouth personally." Ning Shuyuan stared at Zhen Wanyi coldly, her gaze was as cold as a poisonous snake.

"You!" Zhen Wanyi's words disappeared in Ning's cold eyes.At this moment, she was really afraid. As a second-rank Shuyuan, Ning has been immersed in the inner palace for nearly [-] years, and her means and power are not something she, who has just been promoted to the fifth-rank Wanyi by virtue of her grace, can compete with. .

When she was in the palace, she could still take advantage of the emperor's favor to show off her might.But now, on the Queen Mother's territory, and it's her first time in Los Angeles, she has to rely on the Ning family to escape.Therefore, even though she was dissatisfied, she could still tell the difference between the serious and the serious.

Ning rolled her eyes at the silent Zhen Wanyi, and then said slowly, "Sister, beg for help like a beggar. Sister is willing to teach you a good lesson today."

"Sister, forgive me. My sister missed the Ninth Prince so much that she panicked. Thank you for your advice. I also ask my sister to help my servants. The Ninth Prince will cry without his servants." Ning, I will write down today's events for the time being. .It’s not impossible to please, but if you are too arrogant, it depends on whether you have a bargaining chip.You, childless, will not have the time to ask for this palace in the future.The Ninth Prince is my talisman, what can you do to me?

"In the Empress Dowager's Palace, there are not many experienced nanny. I once heard that the Empress Dowager and the Empress chatted and mentioned that His Majesty was adopted into the Empress Dowager's Palace as soon as he was born. The Empress Dowager is for the emperor and the little one. Princes, the people around you are all masters in raising children."

"Then why?" As soon as the words came out, Zhen Wanyi wanted to slap herself.This curiosity is not available all the time.

"The emperor felt sorry for the empress dowager's age. He was afraid that the princes would disturb the empress dowager's purity, so he did not entrust the princes to the empress dowager. But on the first and fifteenth day of every month, he would order the queen to take all the heirs in the harem to the empress dowager. Filial piety. Look at my memory, when my sister had nine princes, the queen mother was not in the palace. Otherwise, the queen mother would definitely send someone to take care of my sister's delivery." The implication is that you are lucky to have escaped. , How many of the palace ladies who were promoted can give birth to emperor heirs?The Empress Dowager is the one who least tolerates the lowliness of the royal family.

"I beg my sister to save me, save my prince!" Zhen Wanyi's voice was full of urgency, and she took a few steps to kneel in front of Ning, "Sister, this servant is wrong. I just ask you to let my sister go out from here, the Ninth Prince will Remember your great kindness, please!"

"I am moved by my sister's motherly heart. Don't worry, let me think about it." Seeing that Zhen Wanyi had already taken the bait, Ning said in a low voice, "Back then, I followed the emperor to the Los Angeles palace, I once heard an old man in the palace say that Luocheng was originally a dangerous place where I, Daliang, stationed troops. So I guess that there must be a secret way in this palace, and this secret way is where the empress dowager lives..."

Zhen Wanyi was completely stunned.She is arrogant, but she also climbed up from the bottom of the palace. She has her own intelligence network, and she has heard of some news that has been circulated privately in the palace.The trip to Los Angeles this time was much more difficult than she had imagined. Back then, she was clamoring to travel with the emperor, so she might not have the idea of ​​leaving Yujing to avoid disaster.

But it was really annoying to go out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den.

Don't jump down, and wait for the cold-hearted emperor to remember their mother and son. How can Xiao Jiu survive in the Queen Mother's Palace.

She and Ning's being trapped here seems to be the work of the Queen Mother, but she has carefully observed the people who guarded them, and she is afraid that it has something to do with the Emperor.Each of the two extremely powerful nuns looked like martial arts practitioners.The queen mother is powerful, but she is just a woman. After all, the relationship with the Xiao family has been separated for several generations, and there are absolutely no people around her like this.

Ning Shi was afraid that she knew something, so she just waited to calculate and jumped down by herself.Regardless of whether the Ning family belongs to the empress dowager or the emperor, as a person without any family power, she has to jump down for Xiao Jiu.

"Sister, I understand what you mean. I am willing to find the way for my sister, but please take good care of my Xiaojiu. Otherwise, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost."

"Sister, don't worry, the emperor's heir, I will definitely protect her well." Ning smiled, "Sister, please recharge your energy, let's visit the palace tonight."

Luocheng palace, the empress dowager's bedroom.

"Empress Dowager, there's news from over there that Zhen Wanyi has taken the bait." The beautiful woman in a light green dress handed a cup of walnut milk to the Queen Mother who was lying on the couch.

The Empress Dowager was wearing a black wide-sleeved gown with a low lapel, embroidered with a gold and silver silk phoenix facing the phoenix. The net is coiled into a bun, the jade hairpin is loosely tied up, and a golden step is inserted, and the long beads hang tremblingly, swaying between the temples, with a faint halo.The scattered hair is like black silk, and the ultimate style blended with beauty, but it looks coquettish and evil, very charming.

The Empress Dowager took a sip of the cool walnut milk from the woman's hand, and wiped off the stained juice from her mouth with a handkerchief, "You look fresh today."

"Grandson is just happy to think that the person who killed my mother will be ruined. I made you laugh, Queen Mother."

"Your grandmother really died in childbirth, and it has nothing to do with the Xiao family. My dear grandson, you dragged my Xiao family into trouble, and even played tricks on your grandmother. You are really capable."

"Grandson thanked the Empress Dowager for her praise. Compared with my father and that bitch Xiao Mengzhen, my palace is far behind." The beautiful woman sneered,
"Otherwise, how can we let our empress escape? Before escaping, can I send a letter to my good father?"

"Is it my good grandson who let the queen go on purpose, or else, with the queen's tricks, can you escape from Luocheng? Your father came to Luocheng as you wished. If you don't do it, when will you wait? "The Queen Mother pushed the woman away, "Just like your useless mother, if you stop, you will suffer from it. When your grandmother advises you, learn to let go when it's time to let go!"

"Don't worry, I still want to have fun with my good father. Let's see if he can still laugh when he knows that all this is caused by his murder of his wife and daughter!"

"Your father is very much like the late emperor, as ruthless as the late emperor, but not as infatuated as the late emperor. I don't know how the ancestors of the Xiao family will feel when they see it. This girder has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it is actually relying on the emperor to conquer women Only a balanced court."

"This is thanks to the Queen Mother who taught you well. No one in the world knows that Father is the child born to you by the Queen Mother. My father was raised by your side from birth. Before the death of the first emperor, he secretly set up your son. The child is a prince. The world knows your love. Who would have thought that you could bring up my grandpa's child to be like this? If you say that the ancestors of our Mu family are vicious, you may be vicious. You Don't worry, it's not too late for you to help your grandson plan what happened to the emperor."

"The Ai family is getting old, so you can't accept it. You girl, do you know why the Ai family has ignored you for so many years?"

"This palace doesn't know. Grandmother would like to talk about it today?" The woman sneered, "Grandmother shouldn't waste her time trying to play the family card at a time like this."

"The regent king Liang Jingwang and the power of the Ouyang family in northern Xinjiang are not easy to control in your hands now? Let me guess, grandma, they are planning to use you to take down the Xiao family behind this palace, and use your father to take down the Liu family. And who will be promoted after the Nalan family?" The queen mother smiled calmly, the corners of her eyes and brows vaguely showed the style of killing in the inner palace, "It should be your ninth brother! Back then, a young son who was still learning to speak, a mother The puppet emperor whose concubine also died in the civil strife is not something they can control."

"The emperor's grandmother is really wise, and it's no wonder my aunt said that she can't be your enemy. I can't use opponents who are too smart, I can only kill them!" The woman giggled, "But my aunt made a mistake. My dear grandmother can't wait for my father and the Xiao family to suffer misfortune in this incident."

"The Ai family has nothing to say. Jingqing, you have the blood of the Ouyang family on your body. Sooner or later, the Ouyang family will find you and force you to be an enemy of your grandmother and father. Your temperament is very much like your grandmother. On weekdays, he is quiet, but he is the most stubborn and emotional. Since he is a wolf that is not familiar with him, why bother Aijia. As the grandson of Aijia, it is not that Aijia has given you Opportunity. Back then in Yujing, it would be great if I could marry into the Xiao family. Look at Jing Ning, who has both sons and daughters, and was offered by the Xiao family as the master, isn't it good?"

"Grandmother, Mu Jingqing, thank you. If it weren't for you, would the dormant power of the Ouyang family in northern Xinjiang be in my hands?" said the beautiful woman who is also the eldest princess, "It's getting late today, and there will be a good show tonight." It's going to be staged. I still have to make preparations, so I won't be talking with the imperial grandmother." After speaking, the eldest princess slapped the queen mother on the neck, and the queen fainted immediately.

The eldest princess clapped her hands, and two nuns immediately came in from outside the hall, "After serving the queen mother, I don't need to wake her up tonight. This will save me from ruining the important affairs of the palace. Watch out for the queen mother's bedroom, and stop anyone who asks to see her."

"Princess, don't worry, the old lady is waiting for you at the secret room."

"I'm going to see the aunt right now, you should be more vigilant!"

On the second day of September in the 24th year of Xijia, Concubine De was autistic and was poisoned on the second day, and the palace people asked Yaohua Palace for help.Mrs. Shujia, who was left in charge of the Fengyin seal in the palace, joined with Mrs. Huimin to track down the real culprit in the palace. The murderer pointed at Xi Ronghua and Heping Chonghua. Leng Gong.

On the third day of September, Zhen Wanyi and Xiao Qiran, the patriarch of the Xiao family, the duke of the town, plotted to assassinate the emperor in the secret passage of the queen mother's palace.When the emperor heard this, he was furious, closed the exit of the secret road in the Luocheng Palace, led his guards to arrest him, killed Zhen Wanyi on the spot, and ordered the eight kings who stayed secretly in Yujing to kill the entire Xiao family.Except for the Empress Dowager Xiao, Empress Xiao and the second princess who married into the Xiao family, the entire Xiao clan, more than [-] people, were all executed.

On the fifth day of September, the Liu family, where the Daliu family lived, wrote to the emperor, accusing Mrs. Shujia of using lynching and torture to extract a confession, and asked the emperor to reverse the case for Xi Ronghua.The emperor did not stay in the middle school, and the forces of the Liu family and the four princes suppressed the Du family in protest.

On the ninth day of September, under the interrogation of the big court lady next to Xiao Nalan, Ping Chonghua and the fourth prince's adoptive mother, Xi Ronghua, had close contacts and wanted to seek the throne for the fourth prince's wolf ambition.

Mrs. Shujia wrote to ask the emperor for instructions. The emperor read her handwritten letter at night, and under the rage, he vomited blood and fainted.After being treated by the imperial physician, there is no serious problem.

On the tenth day of the ninth lunar month, the emperor decreed that Xiao Nalan's family should be killed. The four princes were taken away from their post as Beizi, their right to listen to the government was removed, and they were ordered to be temporarily imprisoned by the clan's residence.

On September [-]th, Daliu and Leng Gong committed suicide, and left a suicide note before their death, explaining that Concubine De was poisoned, Zheng Xuanshi's death and the third prince's death.

The fall from the horse was all done by her collusion with others.Now that the matter has been revealed, I don't want to make more unnecessary struggles, and I would like to beg the emperor to forgive the Liu family with my death.

The wife learned of the clue of the third prince's fall from the horse while she was pregnant, and strongly advocated a thorough investigation of the incident back then.And pointed out that Liu's death was definitely not suicide but someone wanted to kill someone to silence her.The emperor allowed it.

For a while, people in Yujing and Luocheng panicked.

In this chaos, Fengyang King took advantage of the situation to attack Nanluo and massacred the people in the three cities of Nanluo.Fengyang's army passed by "the smell of corpses, the grass and trees, and the blood of Kawaharadan".

Emperor Rui ordered the eight kings to be regents, and the emperor came to the front line of Fengyang in person, and the war broke out immediately.
