Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 138

Ten Niang was playing with the emperor's big hand, and she wanted to withdraw a little itchy, but was dragged back by the emperor, so she had to give up and asked sleepily,

"What do you want to order?"

"In a few days, I will stay with the Li family." The emperor was a little dissatisfied when he heard the words, "Weren't you still jealous just now?"

"The second prince regained the counties and counties that Nanluo lost. Out of love and reason, the emperor dares to reward elder sister De." Ten Niang said with difficulty, "I'm jealous, and I can't delay the overall situation. The second prince and the people behind the second prince The soldiers and the whole world are looking at the emperor, I can't discredit you."

"I also want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. For so many years, I just like Qing. Know the general situation and take into account the overall situation." The emperor pulled Shiniang up, "Let's go back and talk."

Shi Niang was led by the emperor from the main hall to the sleeping hall.The distance, which was neither long nor short, made most of her drowsiness dissipate, and she thought to herself, the main event is coming.

Once the emperor stayed in the harem, the first stop would be either the Li family or his own palace.The second prince was fighting in Fengyang. In order to appease the Li family and the family power behind him, the emperor would stay overnight without any accidents.

The Du family holds the intelligence network of the thirteen counties of Nanluo, and his ninth younger brother is also in Nanluo. If the emperor wants to take the opportunity to regain Nanluo's power and use it for the royal family, staying in his own palace, and asking for his favor after he is favored normal.

Besides, a few days ago, Shi Niang and her son Mu Yao had deduced the emperor's next move.

Because of Du Ziyun's death, the Du family dared not and was willing to fully trust the emperor. The Du family would always show signs of decline in the competition of the northwest forces. Although the emperor only regained [-]%, it was only a matter of time before all the forces were regained.Du San and Du Zitian, who belonged to the eldest family of the Du family, were transferred from the northwest to the Ministry of War by the emperor. If he wanted to lead troops, he would never return to the northwest.

Moreover, what the Du family wanted was nothing more than an escape route to save their lives in times of crisis. Being too powerful in the army would only arouse the emperor's taboo.It is also a good thing to withdraw step by step now.It is necessary to know the truth that prosperity must decline.

The Thirteen Commanderies of Nanluo is an intelligence network established by the Du family with the strength of the whole family in the past ten years. In fact, in order to establish this huge network of relationships in the south, it is not as simple as outsiders imagine, and it is not the third uncle who has entered the cabinet. Du Xianyu turned the tide by himself.

While Du Xianyu worked as a salt transport envoy in Nanluo and accumulated financial resources, he was pushed down from that prominent position by his family.Therefore, the third bedroom of the Du family, which seems to have infinite beauty, was actually the first to prepare for the sacrifice of the family.

The Du family has the least number of heirs among the three houses. Du Xianyu has one son and two daughters, and the only male is Du Ziyun who disappeared in the northwest.The eldest daughter Du Qiniang married to the branch of the Chen family in Yujing, and the concubine Du Jiuniang married to the Wei family of a salt merchant in Nanluojia County.Du Qiniang's husband was not a favorite in the Chen family, and Du Qiniang just lived her life peacefully.Du Jiuniang has now disappeared in Nanluo, but before she disappeared, she held the power of Nanluo Thirteen Counties in her hand.

The fourth house of the Du family promised the third house to be an heir, but the old lady refused.At that time, the Du family could not do such a thing by adopting Mrs. Yipin's younger brother.The old lady gave Du Xianyu the eldest girl in her room in order to leave an heir for the third room.

The eldest son of the fourth house of the Du family, Du Jiu and Du Zicheng, are now leading the army in Nanluo.Before Du Jiu and Du Jiuniang completed the handover of the power of the Thirteen Commanderies of Nanluo, what the emperor had to do was to take back the power of the Thirteen Commanderies of Nanluo and use it for the royal family.

Due to the change of the Fourth Prince and the Eldest Princess in the Battle of the Northwest, Du Liu lost in the Northwest.Although the emperor had some arrangements in his mind, people in the world didn't know clearly.In the eyes of outsiders, Du Liu was already a dead Viscount Heroic, and he could no longer restore his identity.

The Du family was worried about the emperor, and the emperor knew it well, otherwise the third master of the Wei family would not have been forced to go to sea, but the emperor missed that the Du family would teach the thirteen counties of Nanluo to a Du Jiuniang, and Du The family rebelled against the army.Who would have thought that the Du family would hand over the leadership of the most important forces in the south to a married woman with a foreign surname, and the relationship between this married woman and her natal family was not very harmonious.

If the emperor knew that Du Jiuniang was raised under Mrs. Du's knees, the horror would understand the Du family's belief in sacrificing everything for the family.Then you won't make this wrong decision.

Of course, everything has already happened now. For the sake of future planning, even if the emperor is unwilling to do anything, he has to do everything possible to take the power of the thirteen counties of Nanluo back into the hands of the royal family.

The emperor didn't want to push the Du family to a dead end. In his opinion, the Du family had survived in the cracks and strengthened their power for so many years, just to protect themselves.Mrs. Shujia is still in his favor, and so far, it seems that her offspring are the most malleable.The prince must be left with a bargaining chip force that can compete, and the prince's natal family cannot be too disadvantaged.There are advantages to keeping the Du family.

However, Nangong is especially important to the empire.Therefore, it became imperative to send Mu Yao, the third prince of Liangjun King, who was his own son, to take back the power from his maternal uncle.

The third prince had already analyzed from his father's actions that he would go to Nanluo to lead the army and fight against his good second brother casually.

At this time, I have to thank my mother and concubine who let me go to the northwest. The northwest is a quick battle, but Fengyang is a tug of war.The second prince is still trapped in Fengyang, competing with King Fengyang for the lost three counties of Nanluo.In terms of military achievements, fame and even status, they have fallen behind the third prince Mu Yao, who is already the county king.

In the thirteen counties of Nanluo, the Du family is ready to hand over to the third prince, so it doesn't matter whether Fengyang City is recovered by the third prince himself.

As long as the recovery of Nanluo forces is completed, the third prince will be the winner in this battle.Not only did he tie the Du family and himself in the same boat, but he also gained the support and influence of the Du family.He will also be rewarded in the court and get more followers.

And Shi Niang, who is the birth mother of the third prince, must make this favor more stable.It is more meaningful for the emperor to win over himself in order to achieve the purpose of sending the third prince to Nanluo.

Along the way, the emperor and concubine did not speak until they came to the bedroom.

The emperor changed his clothes under the service of the palace servants, raised his hand and waved away the attendants, the two leaned on the bed, chatting one after another.

"The Queen's Palace sent people to clean up and send out those who are restless." The emperor thought for a while, and then he talked about the Queen first, "She doesn't want to come back, I won't force her. Beat the people who need her in the palace. Fan, send it to Ganye Temple and accompany the Queen."

"My lord is praying for the royal family at Ganye Temple. She really understands the righteousness." Shi Niang looked at the emperor with a tired face, "But Ganye Temple is a royal temple after all, and the queen will not return for a long time. I am afraid that the ministers in the court will write a letter to the emperor." Accusing you of..."

"Forcing the mother's family to death, executing the mother-in-law, and abandoning the heir." The emperor spat out twelve words coldly.

"It doesn't matter if they don't understand you. It doesn't matter if people in the world don't understand you. With me here, I'll be with Sixth Brother. I know you did this to prevent the dictatorship of foreign relatives and for the long-term peace and stability of the world." Ten Niang stretched out her hand. Hug the emperor, "You did nothing wrong. I believe you!"

"I said, we want to give our children the best." The emperor patted Shi Niang on the shoulder, his peach blossom eyes gleamed strangely, "This is the best, and I will leave it to you."

"If you're really doing it for me, don't say that. It will make me feel terrible." Shi Niang let go of her hand, "These hands are covered with blood, and I don't regret it. I don't regret following you either. But those people who killed San'er back then, I regret not killing them all."

"The one you keep, promise me that you can't move." The emperor gently pinched Shi Niang's chin, forcing her to look at him, "That person is still useful. Besides, I promised a person, even if she made a big mistake , but also to keep her from dying."

"Although I really want to be desperate, I have never heard what you said." Shi Niang stared at the emperor's dangerous eyes,
"I know, you want to catch a big fish. I won't move that person. You also have to promise me that you can't use my child as bait anymore. I can't afford to lose, and I don't want to and dare you to do it right. Rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry Man, I think that would do us no good. As for the best, whoever wants it, let him get it himself, without your help."

"Know how to distinguish the situation, break down the opponent's weak point, negotiate with the opponent, and strive to maximize the benefits." The emperor let go of his hand, and gently rubbed the fingerprints on Shi Niang's chin, "I have entrusted you to you all these years, but I have learned nothing in vain." .But I am your God, not your opponent."

The emperor looked at Xia Shiniang's calm to indifferent expression, "Very well, I thought you were blinded by hatred these days, but now it seems that your reason is still there. The Liu family and the Nalan family have worked hard for so many years."

When the subject changed, it was already tinged with warning, "Until the last moment, before the moment when you can give your opponent an important blow, if you make a rash move, you may not have a good result. This time you won by chance, those little thoughts of yours It's not that I don't know about small tricks. I'm willing to pamper you because you know how to measure. I hope there will be no next time, the scandal of the royal family should not be handled privately by a Mrs. Yipin!"

Shi Niang's face turned pale, and the emperor's words were clearly telling her that he knew everything about the matter of the Fourth Prince and Xiao Nalan's family that had killed Da Liu's family.

This person is not only ruthless to the enemy, but also ruthless to himself. In order to achieve the set goal, even if those actions make him feel ashamed, he will not hesitate.

He should have known about the fourth prince and the little Nalan family, but in order to suppress the power of the family, he had made the decision to sacrifice this son before she took action.

The subsequent vomiting of blood was nothing more than a scene he directed and acted, a scene that made her think that she was sure of winning.

Only when I helped him stabilize the harem, suppressed the power of the aristocratic family, and the Eight Kings helped him calm down the court, could he leave for Fengyang and do what he really wanted to do.

Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid we can't hide the unrest in southern Xinjiang.The arrangement made by the third uncle has already been broken.

Shi Niang once again understood the horror of the emperor.But at the same time, she deeply admired and rejoiced that she was a woman taught by him.Because she is the woman he created, he has a kind of tolerance for everything she does that is almost incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Facing such a situation, Shi Niang breathed a sigh of relief even though her complexion turned pale.He was warning her, but at the same time he was waking her up, telling her where his bottom line was.With that safety line, she can act unscrupulously within the safe range, get his protection, and be used by him.

After figuring this out, Shi Niang endured the pain of her fingernails nestling in her palm forcing her to wake up, and let out a muffled groan.

"Forget it, I will do this because I love you so much." The emperor opened his arms and hugged Shi Niang into his arms, wrapped one hand around Shi Niang's belly, took Shi Niang's hand with the other, and squeezed her fingers Breaking apart the roots, wiped off the blood on the palm of her hand little by little with her handkerchief.

After wiping her palms clean, she held up her hands, lowered her head, and stuck out her tongue to lick her palms, "The imperial doctor said that saliva can be disinfected. I don't mind disinfecting my concubine, but if you hurt yourself, I will Distressed."

"I like that Sixth Brother loves me." Shi Niang withdrew her hand, and then stretched out her arms to hug the emperor's waist. "Today, you only love me, okay?"

The emperor put his hand on Shi Niang's slightly protruding belly, "What do you think? After I finished my business affairs, I rushed to find you, and drove away Xiaosan and Xiaoliu, just to make you go out all the time? It’s not that cheap.”

The emperor's hand slowly moved up from his belly, stroking Shi Niang's beautiful and small mouth.Using his fingers to trace the shape of her lips, the place where his fingertips touched seemed to ignite a flame, causing a shudder.The emperor withdrew his hand, lowered his head, and kissed Shi Niang's forehead, "Girl, be good. Only when you are good can I pamper you more."

"Come up, cramps in the middle of the night, I'll give you a massage." The emperor squeezed Shi Niang's hand, "It's not shameful to serve my wife."

Seeing the emperor's insistence, Shi Niang climbed onto the bed from the emperor's feet sideways.

After lying down next to the emperor and being held in his arms by the emperor, he couldn't help feeling drowsy. Half asleep and half awake, he vaguely felt that he had forgotten something, so he came back and asked in a daze, "You..."

"Go to sleep." The emperor patted Shi Niang's head, touched her eyes, watched her fall asleep after being relieved, and sighed softly, "You are already like this, no wonder I can do it!"

The poor Emperor quietly got up, went to take a bath again, and then went to bed to embrace the unconscious woman who was sleeping, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
