Xia Bohou escorted Xu Zan all the way back to Beijing, as well as his family, and after handing over to Dali Temple in the capital, he entered the palace to give His Majesty a life.

"You've done a great job this time. After listening to the reply, Qi Zongwen said, "Have you met with Shen Qing in the north?"

"See. Xia Bohou said, "The families of the officers and soldiers who escaped with Xu Zan were handed over by General Shen to the last general and escorted back to the capital together." ”

Qi Zongwen nodded, "After that, there will be a criminal department to interrogate them, you have traveled a long way and worked hard, go back and rest." ”

"Yes. Xia Bohou received the order, but he didn't go out immediately, and waited for Qi Zongwen to look at him before he arched his hand and said, "The last general is shy and wants to ask His Majesty for a favor." ”

"You say?"

"The last general went to the north this time, encountered wolves on the way, very dangerous, fortunately the queen mother rewarded the sword, extremely sharp, cut the wolf under the sword, after the wolf's mouth escaped, grateful for the queen's kindness, can not help but tears stained the clothes. ”

"Oh. Qi Zongwen leaned back and said, "Want to see the queen?"

"The last general knows that the last general's sister-in-law was ignorant before, and she was disgusted by the harem, and the last general's daughter-in-law is a timid and afraid of things, I am afraid that no one has entered the palace during this time, the queen is pregnant, and the brothers outside are really worried. ”

"The queen is in the harem, what is there to worry about. Qi Zongwen said, "But pity you for a brother and sister affection, so, you can go to the harem to see the queen." "It's very boring in my heart, when I got married, the Jiang family was not like this, and the Jiang family was also Jane in the emperor's heart, so after the death of Jiang's father, His Majesty was worried about him and promised his daughter to his son, the unfavored prince, and the Jiang family, who lost their pillars, half a catty with eight taels.

Qi Zongwen originally wanted to use his uncle's family, and he also used his strength in the early stage, but since his accession to the throne became a foregone conclusion, the behavior and words of the two brothers of the Jiang family repeatedly made him angry.

It seems that without them, he Qi Zongwen would not be able to sit on the throne.

He also blackmailed Enso to report him, and put him on the wall and couldn't get it down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. "Xia Bohou ordered Xie En to go out.

Qi Zongwen threw away a few books, and he wanted to train a few more talents who could be used in the army. The eunuch picked up the fold and put it on the case, "Where is the book of the criminal department?"

"I'm waiting outside to hear the news. ”

"Call in. Qi Zongwen said, calm down, the top priority is to finish the business first.

The queen heard the rumor in the Ditai Palace that Xia Bohou came to greet the queen, and was in a trance, "Why is he here?"

"Come in, please. ”

"The younger brother said hello to the queen. Xia Bohou clenched his fists and touched the ground on one knee.

"Excuse me. The queen asked people to help him, "Why are you dressed like this, is it because Your Majesty has some task for you?"

Xia Bohou was shocked, "Niangniang, don't you know? Earlier, Your Majesty asked me to go to the north, and I just came back today." ”

"Go to the north?" the queen said helplessly, "Your Majesty asked me to carefully settle the baby, so that I was exempted from the harem, and my sister-in-law and sister-in-law did not enter the palace, where did I get the news from the outside?"

"Is the errand done?"

"Naturally, it was done. Xia Bohou said. "Otherwise, how can I come to the harem to greet my mother. ”

"Niangniang is recuperating in the baby, why is her face still so bad?" Xia Bohou asked worriedly, the queen's belly was high, but her face was sallow, and the whole person was tired.

"Eat and drink well and sleep well every day, but my complexion is not good, and the doctor always makes me relax. The queen laughed self-deprecatingly, "I can't even see His Majesty's face, how can I be relieved?"

"Your Majesty hasn't come to see Niangniang all along?" Xia Bohou said worriedly.

"Your Majesty blames your sister-in-law for talking nonsense outside, ruining the reputation of the concubine, and now she is still angry with me. The queen said. "It's also a sister-in-law's trouble, the original Seven Princes and Concubines arranged whatever she wanted, but today's concubines can't talk nonsense at will. ”

"Your Majesty is too partial. Xia Bohou said, "Niangniang is the queen, she is the wife, and now she is still pregnant with the prince, Your Majesty only favors that woman, and does not care about Niangniang." ”

"Fortunately, my brother and you are both angry. The queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty just snubs me again, can you snub me for the rest of your life? No, after your errand is done, Your Majesty will let you come to see me, and when your daughter-in-law comes to the palace tomorrow, Your Majesty will not stop you if you want to come." ”

"When someone comes to talk to me, I feel relieved. ”

"Niangniang must take care, everything is based on the prince. Xia Bohou said.

Xu Zan was escorted into Beijing, and the palace people rejoiced, so that His Majesty was always in the mood to come to the harem, Miaoqing commanded people to change the Ronghua Palace up and down, and wanted His Majesty to notice the difference.

But when it was dark and the lantern was hung, he didn't wait for His Majesty to come to the harem.

Qin Yunyi took the chess game to set up the endgame, looked at the drooping faces of the palace maids one by one, and said with a smile, "Escorting into Beijing is the first step, and then there will be a trial and a verdict, who said that as long as Xu Zan enters Beijing, His Majesty will come to the harem?"

"Baba and so on, and now they are all disappointed again. ”

"Your Majesty didn't come to the harem, but he asked Xia Bohou to come to the harem to greet the queen. Miao An said, "It's my brother and sister, Xia Bohou is a foreign minister." ”

"It can be seen that he did a good job, and His Majesty rewarded him. Qin Yunyi said.

"Then Your Majesty will not go to Ditai Palace. Miao An said, "Mrs. Guangping Hou is spreading rumors outside, and this matter is over?"

Qin Yunyi pinched the chess pieces and paused, in fact, after she knew that Concubine Yao's premature birth had something to do with the queen, she also thought about it, could this be the reason why His Majesty did not come to the harem.

Your Majesty doesn't want to face the Empress?

Your Majesty can't punish the queen for a while!

Especially after hearing that His Majesty sent Xia Bohou to the north, this speculation became more and more true, His Majesty definitely didn't like the queen's behavior, but he couldn't punish it.

It can be seen that it is very aggrieved.

"You're thinking too much. Qin Yunyi dropped the chess pieces, compared to the palace people who were worried that His Majesty would go to Ditai Palace first when he came to the harem, and then ignore her, she already understood that if Her Majesty was allowed to take out this evil breath in her heart at the moment, as long as she did not waste it, the queen could still slowly win back Your Majesty's heart, after all, the dead are not more important than the living. But the anger in His Majesty's heart did not come out, and it seems that he will not know how to hide it in the future.

This breath becomes a knot in the heart.

The queen is in the heart of His Majesty, and there is no room for maneuver.

"Your Majesty can not go to the queen for the rest of your life?"

Qi Zongwen is not a person who loves to kill, he told the Criminal Department that the main culprit Xu Zan is naturally going to be beheaded all over the house, and the rest of his henchmen are guilty, and the rest of the soldiers and generals will not be able to cause trouble to his wife and children.

Dali Temple first released a group of women and children and asked them to return to their hometowns quickly.

Xu Zan and other men were escorted to the Criminal Department for trial, and after the evidence was conclusive, they were sentenced to beheading.

After Xu Zan and other prisoners were dragged to the execution ground and beheaded, Xu Zan's wife, concubine, daughter, and other accomplices' daughters were also escorted from Marble to the Jiaofang Division.

And at this moment, something big happened.

Xu Zan's wife hanged herself with her daughter, and when she was found, only her fourteen-year-old daughter was still dying.

"Report truthfully. The subordinate suggested, "The daughter of the Xu family is quite fresh and lovely, maybe she is the next concubine." ”

"You are so daring, even the concubine dares to arrange it. Dali Siqing said, and then laughed hehehe, the current situation, isn't it the same as when the concubine entered the palace, maybe Your Majesty is an orphan girl.

Dali Siqing went back and told Mrs. about this as a joke, and Mrs. raised her eyebrows, "Where's the excerpt?"

"Not yet?" Dali Siqing said, "I still have to polish a few strokes, after all, people are hanged in Dali Temple, we can't bear the name of poor supervision." ”

The lady found out the fold, tore it up twice, and threw it into the incense burner. "That Miss Xu, you immediately have someone send her to the Teaching Division, and it doesn't matter to you whether she is dead or alive after that. ”

"Such a big thing, Dali Temple can't report it. Dali Temple Qing was afraid of the inside, and looked at the lady who burned the fold and said pitifully.

"If you spread the wind about this matter, if it is a fold in the imperial history, you will defend yourself, it is the Xu family who does not know what to do, and is bent on seeking death, if there is no fold in the imperial history, you will treat this matter as if it does not exist, and write a note and send it in the daily fold. Madame said.

"You see that Miss Xu's situation is the same as that of the original concubine, do you know her situation?" Dali Siqing said.

"Are you stupid?" said the lady, "The Xu family has been executed by His Majesty, Miss Xu can still enter the palace? Your Majesty can still let her enter the palace?

Dali Siqing heard the same thing.

Waiting until the next day, there was indeed a royal history of Dali Temple that was not strictly supervised, causing the female dependents to commit suicide. Dali Siqing looked at His Majesty's gloomy black face, and replied cautiously, "Your Majesty Longen, allow them to rebel against their relatives and enter the Sect Division, but they don't know what to do, so they have to seek death and ignore the grace of the saint in vain." ”

"The people of Dali Temple are also Weichen who are not strict in discipline, and they are moved by words and hearts, so that they are given the opportunity to seek death. Dali Siqing called out for grievances, "As the saying goes, good words are hard to persuade damn ghosts, they unbuckled their belts, tied to the fence and committed suicide, Weichen, Weichen has no choice." ”

"Your Majesty. Someone came out and said, "There are more than 20 female dependents who committed suicide this time, and in any case, it is the fault of the lax guards of Dali Temple." ”

"Are they all dead?" Qi asked.

The first to appear in the imperial history said, "When it was discovered, only Xu Zhenzhen, the daughter of the rebel, still had a breath." ”

"Dali Temple actually sent the dying Xu Zhenzhen to the Jiaofang Division. Yushi suddenly became impassioned, "There is really no trace of compassion. ”

"The Jiaofang Division is where she goes, if Dali Temple doesn't send her to the Jiaofang Division, where should she be sent?" Qi Zongwen suppressed his anger and asked, the Xu family's behavior, whether intentionally or unintentionally, touched his scales, and brought this matter to the courtiers who said that Qi Zongwen showed an infiltrating smile, wanting to laugh at the concubine, is it a joke?

"I've always beheaded all over the house, only men, since the criminals and their relatives have such a will to die, let's behead them all together in the future. Qi Zongwen said gloomily.
