Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 140
When the changes in the capital came to an end, and when the smell of blood no longer wafted outside the Meridian Gate, the silent distribution began.According to the practice of the imperial court, the men were assigned to the cold and bitter places, and the female relatives were either assigned or sent to the Lower Nine Gates.

When Shen Yu passed by the gate of Dingyuanhou's mansion, he happened to see the official army seal the gate.

"My lord, this time I heard that Prince Yan has put in a lot of effort, and His Majesty has given him full power to handle this matter. I heard people say that the property confiscated from these mansions in the past few days is not only those that are clearly recorded in the book. The remaining half was handed over to the national treasury, and the rest went into Lord Yan's private treasury."

"That's what he's working so hard for. We're only in charge of prisons, and these details have nothing to do with us."

"Then do you want to arrest the accomplices of these people?"

"Make a roster and prepare it to see what the Holy Majesty wants." If the emperor chooses to investigate to the end, it will probably be another bloodbath. This is not what he wants to see, and even the emperor would not want to.

"Yesterday, the Eldest Princess hanged herself in the Fu'an Palace. Do you want to present the evidence that we have traced about the Eldest Princess' contacts with the Khmer Kingdom, cultivating a cult in an attempt to overthrow the court?"

"No need, death is nothing, and it's not worth fighting with the dead." Shen Yu put down the sedan chair curtain.

"My lord, what are you going to do with Linshan?"

"Let him come and go wherever he comes from." Shen Yu had known for a long time that Lin Shan was sent by Qing Guo Gongfu, and he had warned Lin Shan countless times not to make decisions about his affairs without authorization.This time he really broke his taboo, if he hadn't arrived at that time, he couldn't imagine what would happen later.

The emperor finally chose not to mourn the eldest princess's death. For this reason, the queen mother quarreled with the emperor more than once, and the final result was that the queen mother fainted.

In the Auspicious Palace, Concubine Xiang was leaning on the head of the bed sickly, Xiao Rui sat on a chair and watched Gong'e make medicine.

"Mother, do you feel better?"

"Rui'er, concubine mother really hopes to leave just like this this time. Your father may miss concubine mother and show more pity for you. This is always good for you."

"What did the concubine mother say? Hurry up and take care of your body is the greatest help to your son."

"Rui'er, Concubine Mother is unclear about one thing. Why do you want Concubine Mother to insist that this serious illness is due to Miss Su's beauty cream? Don't you have a good relationship? Last time Miss Su sent a lot of money."

The corner of Xiao Rui's mouth twitched, showing a trace of unnaturalness, "Does the concubine know that she has a close relationship with the second emperor brother?"

"Is there such a thing?"

"The last time the Second Emperor Brother went to Linshui County for disaster relief, he won such a great award from the Emperor Father, and she was among them for her help. Since then, I have been paying attention to her every move. After careful investigation, I found that this Su The girl is not simple. All kinds of things in the capital are inextricably linked to her recently. She has a power or influence that I didn't know much about before."

"It's just that the son-in-law hinted to her before that she could stand on my side, but she refused. If a person like this can't be used by me, it will always be a disaster. The concubine mother has been ill recently, and she hasn't noticed the recent imperial concubine. The battle for the reserve has already begun." Xiao Rui's expression suddenly became serious, and Concubine Xiang suddenly felt a little at a loss when she saw her son's expression.

"Then... what can concubine mother do for you?"

"As long as the concubine mother takes good care of her body, it will be the greatest help to her son."

"Your uncle should be entering the capital soon. When he comes, you will have someone to discuss with you." Xiangpin thought for a while before saying, "See if you can win Duke Qing over. After all, Shen Yu's mother and your aunt They are sisters, with this kind of affection, Duke Qing's mansion will help a little."

"Mother and concubine don't worry about these things." Xiao Rui never thought about this level. If uncle came, maybe it would be better for uncle to come forward.

At that time, Su Tiange was still trapped in the special cell of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, which was actually the residence prepared by the Ministry of Criminal Justice for the working adults.There is freedom in the living space, but there are soldiers on duty in the yard, so she cannot come in and out at will.So it was Shen Yu who came back to tell the news about the eldest princess.

"The emperor is still unwilling to face up to his mistakes."

"The way the Holy Majesty did this made it impossible to investigate those who have contacts with the Khmer country with great fanfare. I am afraid that the eldest princess chooses to die so hastily because she has a backup. Just like Lian Qiuming, she fled far away to arrange Those flags that were lowered are temporarily dormant. When he makes a comeback one day, he will set off another bloody storm." After all, in his perception, the eldest princess is not a person who gives up easily. Can't hold on?

Su Tiange thought for a while, "Shen Ziyan, do you understand?"

Shen Ziyan? "Shen Yan's younger sister is now the daughter of Duke Qing's mansion. I only have the impression of her as a child. She is a person who can't afford to lose. Have you met her?"

"I met once. Outside Fu'an Palace, Suhua, the princess' maidservant, was with her at that time." Thinking about it now, although Shen Ziyan didn't speak, the expression she showed was not friendly.

"She has a connection with the eldest princess?" Shen Yu really didn't think about it, "Could it be that you met the queen mother with the Duke's wife?" Su Tiange glanced at Shen Yu, and nodded hesitantly.

"Maybe." She knew that things were not that simple, after all, who would have nothing to do with Li Yushi's affairs.Now it seems that the eldest princess used the South Street incident to stir up disputes between herself and Li Yushi or Li side concubine. In the end, no matter who beats who down, she can benefit from it. clear.

But now the eldest princess died suddenly, and everyone was on guard against whether she was planning to do the same as Lian Qiuming again and when the capital was turned upside down, she just left.Everyone held a breath in their hearts and waited for the dust to settle before taking a long breath, but now the breath was hanging up and down like this, and they couldn't get out or let it go, so they had to hang on.

"How is your hand? What did Divine Doctor Xue say today?"

"The appearance seems to be recovering very well, as long as you rest and eat with chopsticks, it's still fine."

"Let me take care of you later."

Shen Yu's future included all her grievances and the rest of her life, but she didn't dare to hope, probably because she was afraid.This time, she told Shen Yu about the Khmer Kingdom, and he revealed it to Xiao Yan. She wondered if he would feel a little scary about her when he saw so many heads falling to the ground.After all, what she will do in the future will be even more unscrupulous,

"Thank you, my lord, but now I am more concerned about when I can clear up my grievances."

"Master Xue said that he has a solution for this matter, but he just needs to go to the palace to give Xiang Concubine a diagnosis and treatment, to confirm what kind of poison is in her body. I will arrange this, you just need to take good care of her now."
