Chapter 407: Autumn Hunt (17)
In the autumn of the 22nd year of the Tianqian Dynasty, Xiao Mansion was sent to the prison for trial due to conspiracy to rebel, from Xiao Ge Lao to children.
Tianqian Palace.
"What are you going to do, this is the concubine's bedroom, how can you be so presumptuous?" Although Xiao Guifei's personal maid scolded fiercely, she still couldn't stop the palace people from wantonly checking in Chaoyang Palace.
"Xiao Mingse, this palace really underestimated you, obviously you have fallen to such a point, you can still keep your face unchanged, and this palace will search your Chaoyang Palace. ”
"So what, it's just a matter of winning and losing. The corners of Xiao Guifei's mouth curled, and her expression was natural.
The queen is not annoyed by Xiao Mingse's attitude at all, the defeat of Xiao Mansion is a foregone conclusion, but she can't worry about her, after all, this Chaoyang Palace will soon have no owner and become an empty palace.
"Panxi, look for it, look at what we have to see as a concubine. ”
Pan Xi received the order, and went to Xiao Guifei's inner room, looked east and west, walked to the makeup box, looked around carefully, and then took out a secret letter from his sleeve and stuffed it in, and then pretended to find it suddenly, and took out the secret letter.
"Niangniang, the slave maid found a secret letter in the makeup box of the concubine Niangniang. Pan Xi stretched out his hand and respectfully handed the secret letter to the queen.
The queen took the secret letter and smiled, "Present it to the emperor immediately." Then he turned and walked away.
Panxi instructed the rest of the palace people to continue the search, and hurriedly followed.
The queen walked out of Chaoyang Palace and looked at the sky outside, today's sunshine is really eye-catching, I haven't seen such a comfortable sky for a long time, and I can't help but smile again.
The queen took the secret letter and remembered Tang Jinyu's words last night.
"Queen Mother, now that Xiao Fu is rebelling, the defeat has been decided, but although this matter involves Xiao Fu and Tang Liuxian, it has nothing to do with Xiao Guifei, the father is very affectionate, if Xiao Guifei is not involved in it in one fell swoop, Tang Liuxian and Xiao Guifei may have a bright future. ”
When the queen heard this, she said, "Concubine Xiao just released Tang Liuxian out of the Liuwang Mansion, even if this matter reaches the ears of the emperor, it is just a beloved son's heart, and it is really impossible to conclude that Concubine Xiao and the Xiao Mansion conspired to rebel." ”
Tang Jinyu took out the brocade box from her sleeve and said, "This thing can help the queen mother taste her long-cherished wish." ”
Seeing that the queen had left, Concubine Xiao got up with the support of her personal maid, slowly walked to the door, looked at the dazzling sun, and said lightly, "This bright scene, I'm afraid this is the last time I've seen it in this palace." ”
On October 7, the 22nd year of the Tianqian Dynasty, Xiao Mansion was beheaded in the downtown area, even the children were not spared, Xiao Mingse plotted to assassinate the emperor's son-in-law, demoted to a concubine, lived in a cold palace, and could not come out unless he died, Tang Liuxian plotted to rebel, was disloyal and unfilial, exiled to the cold land, and was not allowed to leave half a step until death.
So far, the Xiao Mansion has declined, and there is no prosperity in the past.
That night, the emperor drank alone, remembering some of the past.
The third generation of Xiao Mansion was honored because when the ancestor was alive, the old lady Xiao offered his three daughters to stabilize the rebellion of the Four Emperors.
At that time, there was no suitable princess in the heavenly family to marry to the Three Kingdoms in exchange for peace, and the old lady Xiao was sad to cut his love for the stability of the dynasty, and exchanged the three daughters for the stability of the four countries, and the rebellion of the four emperors subsided.
Xiao Mansion has such merits, if the descendants are in peace and keep to themselves, they will be able to be prosperous and rich, and enjoy inexhaustible, but the grandson of the old lady Xiao, the current Xiao Ge Lao, relying on the merits of his ancestors, has great selfish desires, not only monopolizes power in the court, especially dissatisfied, but also tries to erode the imperial power.
In fact, the emperor has long known the old intentions of Xiao Ge, but the merits of the ancestors of Xiao Mansion are still there, and there is no evidence, so he can only endure it, but seeing that Xiao Mansion is becoming more and more powerful, it is quite a comparison with the royal family, and the murderous intent is gradually rising.
