Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 145

Zhaoyang Hall, the banquet scene is still full of singing and dancing.

Emperor Rui drank the fine wine from the wine cup, and looked at the two women sitting on his left and right, Mrs. Shujia and Mrs. Dezhuang.

After Mrs. Shujia found that her youngest son was not feeling well, she directly handed over the sixth prince to Ruo Min and brought him back to Yaohua Palace.Using the excuse of changing clothes, he took care of his younger son for a while, and then returned to the banquet.This will continue to talk to the wife of Kunsang envoy Moku, and he doesn't care about the emperor's attention.

Mrs. Dezhuang hasn't seen her son, the second prince, for a long time.Although it has been a long time since his son came back, the second prince is getting older and it is difficult to walk around in the harem anymore, so he doesn't go to Linzhi Palace very much except to ask for peace.When Mrs. Dezhuang talked to her son, she naturally didn't pay much attention to the emperor.

Sitting there alone, the emperor somehow remembered the empress who often dissuaded him from drinking at various banquets, and gradually drank more.

The emperor propped his head on one hand, watching the performance below, it was nothing more than some court singing and dancing.This kind of banquet is the most boring, but you can't get away.

The envoys from all over the world watched the singing and dancing after the toast, and their emotions were high. As the host, it was disrespectful to the neighboring countries to leave the table early.It was based on the emperor's once-in-a-lifetime cooperative singing and dancing beats, tapping the table rhythmically with his fingers.

In the midst of the bustle, the little eunuch who suddenly broke into the main hall seemed very abrupt, especially after he broke into the main hall, he only rushed in the direction of the emperor.The singing and dancing were interrupted, and the noise seemed to be cut off.

The Eighth Prince reacted the fastest, pushed the table in front of him, and guarded the emperor with a horizontal sword, "The imperial army, escort!"

The imperial army rushed into the Zhaoyang Hall from outside the hall, but the second prince inadvertently pushed the little eunuch towards the emperor with his backhand, stepped on the little eunuch's shoulders and flew towards the Eighth King, drawing his sword to protect his father.

"Your Majesty forgives the sin, but the slave has to report, and the slave has to report, and the eighth princess will be in danger if it is too late!" The little eunuch's sharp shout interrupted the hand that the eighth king was about to wave.The Imperial Forest Army narrowed the encirclement, pointed their weapons at the young eunuch, and waited for orders.

Mrs. Shujia, who was being protected by Ruhua Xinsi, heard this, brushed away the whisk in front of her, threw away Ruhua's arm, walked a few steps, and yelled angrily at the little eunuch who was kneeling in front of the emperor and dared not move, "What happened to the eighth princess, tell me!"

"Madam, be careful!" Following the voice of the Eight Kings, came a soft sword with powerful attack power, and the sword was controlled to stab Madam Shujia.

Ten Niang subconsciously protected her belly, bowed forward, and sent her shoulders forward.

"Puff!" The sound of the sword piercing into the flesh, but the expected pain did not come.When Shi Niang came back to her senses, she saw that the little eunuch who had just drawn the soft sword from his waist was stabbed in the back.

The person who stabbed him was not a guard of the Royal Forest Army, but a man dressed in a prairie, Moku, a pictured husband.Facing the familiar face of the man, Ten Niang suppressed the address she was about to pronounce.Being held tightly by Ruhua, he retreated behind Xin Si.

The assassin in eunuch costume was injured by shattered soft sword fragments in front of him.The one who hurt him was Xin Si who wrapped his soft sword with a whisk.

Xin Si had been vigilant when Shi Niang stepped out of her protective circle, but the range of the software attack was too long, and she only had time to make a move, and she was not sure that she could protect her master.

Fortunately, the assassin holding the soft sword was successfully attacked from behind, and the soft sword lost its strength in an instant, giving him a chance.He used his internal strength to wrap the soft sword around with his fly whisk, and within a short while, the soft sword had been shattered by him.

The assassin was subdued after his waist was pierced by Moku, and the front of him was injured by Xin Si's shattered soft sword fragments. He knelt on the ground and could not move.

Looking up at the emperor's gloomy eyes and coercion, he was not afraid, poohed the blood in his mouth, and smiled at the emperor, "Mu Yunlan, useless dog emperor, you have to rely on women to protect you all your life! You will always protect me!" Can't live with the woman you love, hahaha! Useless Mu family!"

"Second prince, stop!" Moku suddenly said, but still couldn't change the fact that the assassin was stabbed in the chest by a sword.

It turned out that the second prince was enraged by the little eunuch, and he held the sword and gave the assassin a sword in the chest.

"I don't need my lord to teach you!" The second prince suddenly pulled out his sword, the assassin let out a muffled grunt, and lowered his head.

He stared at Moku maliciously, "My lord is so anxious to stop him, is it because he is afraid that he will recruit someone behind the scenes!"

"You!" The prairie man was enraged by the second prince's words, "What a prince who confuses black and white!"

"I'm afraid there are many people who turn black and white!" The second prince continued to question.

"It's true that there are many people who kill and silence. But the second prince rushed to convict my husband, I'm afraid it's too early." Pulling Mrs. Shujia into the painting, he sneered.

"If the envoy's wife can let go of my concubine Shumu, this statement is still convincing." The fifth prince's voice slanted in from the side.As soon as he opened his mouth, the second prince knew that he was broken, and was tired by this idiot.

"Idiot!" Ten Niang pushed away into the painting, stepped forward and slapped the second prince, "Make your own picture!"

"You!" The second prince covered his face with one hand, as if he couldn't believe that he was easily beaten.

Then he knelt down beside the emperor as if he had suffered a great humiliation, gritted his teeth, and said, "Father, you have to be the master for my minister. The minister is just concerned about your safety, concubine Shumu..."

"Shut up!" Ten Niang scolded, nodded to Moku, then said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to rescue Jingyue, please!"

"Old Ba, lead the imperial army to search the palace and find Jingyue!" The emperor said for the first time after the assassination, "Where is the king of Liangjun? Treat all the envoys and wives to me. Xiao Er, take your men Surround Zhaoyang Hall. Until the real culprit is found out, no one in Zhaoyang Hall is allowed to leave."

"Brother Emperor, I think we should first ask who sent this assassin." After hearing the emperor's words, Mu Yunting, the Eighth King, was not in a hurry to leave Zhaoyang Hall to search the palace.

"Your Majesty, Ba Yatou, Jingyue!" Ten Niang stood in front of the assassin with a strong mind, and she couldn't help being taken aback when she heard the words, her body almost went limp.

He was held up by Xin Si and handed over to Ru Hua who was still following closely.

"Since that's the case, the emperor will have fun with this assassin." The emperor said to the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, "Lu Jing, take your men to search the palace, and make sure to find the eighth princess."

Lu Jing, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, was transferred by the emperor after he returned from the palace. The former commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Chen Song, was transferred to the Gyeonggi camp by the emperor.Once the war starts again, there will be a chance to go into battle and kill the enemy.

Lu Jing can lead people out of Zhaoyang Hall to search the palace.

The emperor looked at Mrs. Shujia, who was exhausted and anxious, and said to Xiaoluzi, "Take care of Mrs. Shujia."

Xiao Luzi, who was always by the emperor's side, stepped forward to catch Shi Niang, and said in a low voice to Ruhua, "Aunt Ruhua really loves Madam, let her go, Madam Envoy."

The painter let go, and handed over the master to Xiaoluzi.Xiao Luzi helped Shi Niang back to the side hall.

She looked worriedly at Moku, who let go of the knife in her hand at the same time, and her eyes followed Ten Niang's ugly face.Moku moved the corner of his mouth, walked to Moku's side without saying anything, took Moku's hand, and squeezed his palm.

Moku came back to his senses, and saluted Emperor Rui, "I will listen to His Majesty Emperor Rui, and follow the arrangement of King Liangjun."

The terrified envoys from various countries in the palace followed Moku one after another, "We listen to Emperor Liang and the arrangement of Prince Liang!"

"Father!" The second prince looked around, and said a few words through his teeth, "The third brother is not here!"

"If there is any difference between my son and my daughter, the person who I will attack today will pay with blood!" Ten Niang turned her head and stared at the second prince viciously.

Being stared at by his concubine, the second prince was shocked.

"Bitch, why are you staring at my son!" Mrs. De Zhuang, who was frightened by the accident just now, came back to her senses just in time to see Shi Niang's eyes, and blurted out what was in her heart in shock.

"Shut up!" The emperor covered his forehead with one hand, "Old Ba, hand over to your subordinates for interrogation, join Lu Jingde's people, and bring him back to me. Xiao Wu, go and invite the envoys and wives to the table .”

The Eight Kings nodded to the emperor, led the assassins along, and withdrew without mentioning it.The fifth prince also stepped forward to invite all the envoys to the table.

The emperor spoke again, but to Huimin's wife, Chen Minxian, "Concubine Hui arranged for the people in the harem to wait in the side hall. The palace is not peaceful, and I put away all the fights in the past!"

"The concubine will take good care of all the younger sisters, don't worry, Your Majesty." After saluting, Chen Minxian exchanged glances with Mrs. Duanxian Lu Rongjing, and they tacitly took Mrs. Dezhuang's arms and dragged her out of the main hall.Behind them are the concubines who attended today's banquet in the harem.

Shi Niang stood still and stared at the emperor, but Xiao Luzi didn't dare to drag the master away like Hui and Xian did when they dragged away Li Shi.

The emperor stared at the actions of the fifth prince for a while before he recovered his senses, met Mrs. Shujia's eyes, and moved to her side, "Go and rest, I will let you know when I have a letter."

"Can I trust you?" Ten Niang reached out and grabbed the emperor's sleeve, and asked cautiously, "Can you guarantee the safety of Yao'er and Jingyue?"

"I promise!" The emperor took Ten Niang's hand, "Trust me once."

"Okay, I believe you." Ten Niang lowered her head to let the tears fall from her eyes, "There is no staff around Jingyue, and I have transferred those people to Jing'er's side. He has a fever, and the palace is busy today. I am worried about him." Jingyue has always been very good, and she is also a girl, I thought they were going to attack Yaoer Jinger even if they wanted to attack. It's all my fault, if it wasn't for me, Jingyue wouldn't..."

"Don't think about it, the two children will be fine, I promise." The emperor looked at Shi Niang with her big belly and crying pitifully, so he was cautious, and whispered in her ear, "The dark guards are here, don't worry. "

Ten Niang seemed relieved when she heard that, the emperor patted her on the shoulder, "Be careful, I will accompany you to the side hall for a rest."

"Yes." Ten Niang agreed, and then said to the emperor, "Let Xin Si go back to Yaohua Palace, Jing'er can't make any mistakes."

"Your people, of course you are the one who decides." The emperor waved at Xin Si, motioning him to back down.

Shi Niang was supported by the emperor himself to the side hall to rest.

After a stick of incense, someone knocked on the door of the room where the Emperor Piandian lived.The dark guard Bingchen came back first, and when he saw Mrs. Shujia leaning on the bed, he was taken aback and said to the emperor, "I found it. But..."

"Go out and talk." The emperor interrupted him, turned his head and said to Shi Niang, "There are some things that I can't tell you right away, trust me."

The emperor went out first, and when the door was closed, he naturally couldn't see the smile slowly curling up from the corner of the lady's mouth behind him.

That smile, like a tuberose in the dark night, emits a poisonous fragrance.

After a while, the emperor scolded, "Trash, let them go to the Eight Kings to receive their punishment!"

"Yes!" Bingchen's tense voice came to her ears, and Shi Niang knew that the game was more than half over.

The door was pushed open by the emperor, and he looked at the woman who was leaning on the bed and looking at him anxiously from a distance, and said coldly, "Did you intervene? Is it because I gave you too much that you forgot that you can't go to court?" Will my prey strike?"

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? The concubine doesn't understand." Shiniang looked into the emperor's eyes and asked puzzledly, "What happened to Yao'er and Jingyue?"

"It's best not to understand. Your good son is staying with Jing'er in Yaohua Palace. As for Jingyue, he is hiding in the Buddhist hall of Guanju Palace. Ten Niangs are easy to deal with."

"It's fine." Ten Niang covered her heart and felt relieved.

"When did you start acting like this in front of me?" The emperor looked at the strange woman in front of him, wishing he could strangle her to death.This woman, whom he had desperately protected, challenged his bottom line time and time again, and challenged his dignity as an emperor time and time again.

"Since the master doesn't like to watch, then it's fine if you don't act." Shi Niang was frank, looking into the emperor's gloomy eyes, "When it comes to acting, Shi Niang is still far behind; there are not many women around you who are simple and can't act. , the concubines have been torn apart by them long ago."

"Tell me, what did you find?" Although the emperor was angry, he also knew that the woman he had trained would not easily destroy his plan.

"Among the envoys of Southern Xinjiang, there is a little prince from Southern Xinjiang." Shi Niang smiled provocatively at the emperor, "I guessed a little bit about your plan. You kept those two daughters for so long because of Nanjiang Jiang, the little prince?"

"Oh? Madame is smart." The emperor clapped his hands, "Since you know it, you should know my temper before you do it. What made you act rashly regardless of the consequences of being discovered by me?"

"Xiao's family, Ouyang's family." Ten Niang spat out these five words.

The emperor's face changed and he stared at her.

"Yihua Palace's action is not small, so there is no accident; the main character Miao Shunhua is originally stupid. The bad thing is that she joined forces with the good Shuyuan of Yikun Palace and the Ouyang family to get her daughter's marriage. Revenge on Bengong. It's ridiculous, when did Bengong promise her to marry her imperial daughter into the Du family? She didn't dare to touch Chen Minxian, but she dared to attack the children of Bengong? Want to be married to Southern Xinjiang by her design? How dare you?!"

"The Miao Shunhua Zhao family, hmph, is also unclear. There is no queen, their mother and daughter are so stupid." The emperor sneered indifferently, and then said, "The Xiao family's heart is big. Jing Ning hates it." Looking at my father, I am afraid that her mother and concubine will hate you."

"That's right, the Xiao family's extermination and the empress leaving the palace are not all blamed on Ben Gong. I didn't plan to plot against them, but they were too greedy. They plotted against my Jingyue, and even tried to plot against my Yao'er, and assassinated Ben." Gong. Should I say that this palace is too benevolent, or that they are courting death?"

"Ning's? It seems that she lured Ouyang's family into the palace and saved her life. It seems that I am too soft-hearted."

"All the concubines said that all the women in your palace know how to act. Even you have been fooled. This Ning Shuyuan has been with the Queen Mother for a long time, united the mother and daughter of the second princess, and has a close relationship with the Ouyang family. .”

"The assassin belongs to Ouyang's family?" The emperor thought thoughtfully, "Are you sure?"

"Ouyang's family's swordsmanship in northern Xinjiang may not be known to others. The Du family in the northwest can't make a mistake. My third brother is in Beijing, so he can tell if he asks."

"People from Ouyang's family, tell you and Mu Yao's people to stop. It's not your business!" the emperor warned.

"Understood, I will warn Yao'er." Shi Niang knew that the emperor let her off lightly, although it was different from his original plan, it still did not affect the overall situation.

One or two daughters are still there, and it is not such a pity to abandon them.

"Follow me to the main hall, this play has to go on, without you, madam."

"As you order, my lord."
