After the county lord of Jiaren knew that Wang Jiulang did not go to the study last night but went to the Wanxiang Building, he nodded to the mother-in-law who reported the news. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Her expression remained unchanged, but her nails had already been pinched into the palms of her hands, and she said expressionlessly: "Spread this matter to the king's envoy, so that no one can notice that I passed it." ”

She didn't want to call Wang Qinruo her father, and she didn't want to confront Wang Jiulang face to face.

She didn't like him, she hated him and looked down on him, he didn't care about her, she didn't bother to ask him, she just wanted to find someone who could control him the most to punish him.

Thinking of her current situation, as well as the insults brought to her by Wang Jiulang's various measures, and then thinking of Xu Dalang when she left Bianjing, she could only hide in the carriage and watch him, unable to say goodbye to him in person, her heart was desolate, and she shed a few tears.

She has always been strong, she has never shed a cry since she was ten years old, and now she has been forced to such a point.

Even if she has the status of the county lord, she can't marry the person she likes.

She can't choose who she likes, let alone her own life.

The Wang family treats her like this, then she would rather be unhappy than destroy the Wang family!

After Wang Qinruo learned about what Wang Jiulang had done, he was furious and locked him up in the ancestral hall to punish him for kneeling.

Wang Jiulang admitted that he was at a loss and did not resist.

Wang Qinruo saw that his son was rarely obedient, and there was a little relief in his heart.

But it was Wang Banniang, who heard that her brother was punished for kneeling, so angry that she couldn't sit still for a quarter of an hour, so she hurriedly went to her mother with her skirt, preparing to train the county lord of Jiaren at dinner.

After learning about this marriage, Wang Banniang waited aggrievedly for a whole month, just waiting for the county lord of Jiaren to marry into the Wang family, and then teach her a good lesson, so that she could not tell what it means to be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis.

Every opportunity to teach the county lord of Jiaren a lesson, Wang Jiuniang is unwilling to let go.

At dinner, except for Wang Jiulang, everyone in the Wang family was there.

Wang Banniang glared at the county lord of Jiaren, turned her head to look at her mother Li, and asked with concern: "Mother, where has the ninth brother gone? Today is the second day of his wedding, and Yili should have dinner with us." ”

"You don't have to worry about your ninth brother's affairs. ”

Li straightened his chopstick, glanced at the county lord of Jiaren, and gave his daughter a look, signaling her not to ask.

Her son went to the Qinglou for the night of the wedding, and she really didn't want to mention such a shameful thing.

Wang Banniang didn't know the truth, and was in a hurry to stumble on the head of Jiaren County, but she didn't see Li's eyes at all, and said: "I heard from the next person, the ninth brother went to the ancestral hall? ”

"Leave him alone. Wang Qinruo said loudly, his face was extremely bad.

He is fifty-two years old this year, and he was childless when he was young, and he did not have Jiulang until he was thirty-four years old.

He has always loved his only son.

Now that Wang Jiulang has done such a ridiculous thing, although he is very angry, he can't punish him.

Wang Banniang didn't give up, and asked again.

Li had no choice but to pick her up, pull her behind the screen and give her a lecture, and told her by ear that Wang Jiulang was in trouble yesterday, and he didn't ask much.

Seeing that the mother and daughter went to talk behind the screen, the county lord of Jiaren still smiled lightly, without confusion or anger, but the chopsticks in his hands were about to break.

The county lord of Jiaren could see Wang Banniang's thoughts at a glance, if in the past, she would have already given Wang Banniang two slaps. Now, he can only pretend to be stupid with grievances.

Wang Banniang was very aggrieved after being trained by her mother, so she asked the nurse to help her inquire after dinner, and sure enough, she found out about Wang Jiulang's stay at Miss Xin'er last night.

She was very happy, and said while stroking her palm: "Brother Jiu is really amazing, he can make Miss Xin'er willing to bow her head and wait." I thought that at the beginning, when I asked Miss Xin'er to play a tune, I had to invite it a month in advance. Such an ice beauty actually let Brother Jiu take it down!"

Wang Banniang felt that Wang Jiulang did not have a round room with the county lord of Jiaren on the night of his wedding, which was a refutation of the face of the county lord of Jiaren, and she was happy and didn't know what to do.

After thinking about it, he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, so he called the maidservant girl in and said, "Prepare a box of big pearls and send it to Miss Xin'er in Wanxianglou tomorrow." ”

After Xiao Yuan returned to Beijing this time, he assisted the forbidden army to do several things, and the emperor saw that he was doing things steadily, no longer the unsuccessful appearance he once had, and appointed him as the deputy head of the department, and returned to Gaoyangguan in early May.

The day before departure, he promised to accompany Xiao Yuan into the palace.

Xiao Yuan came to find Empress Liu and confronted her with the cause of the death of King Zhou and his mother eleven years ago.

For years, Xiao Yuan has been secretly investigating these two things.

Although the time has been long, many parties have been silenced, but he does not let go of every detail, and Shun Teng finally understood the truth of the year in the past two years, but he still needs to confront a party face to face.

The truth about King Zhou's poisoning, the only people in the know are the emperor and the queen.

Today is also the end of the secret relationship between Xiao Yuan and Empress Liu for many years.

After today, he won't be her knife and her eyes and ears again.

"Liuniang, you wait for me here, if I haven't come back here after half an hour, you can go back and forget about me from now on. Xiao Yuan held the hand of promise, his face was more cautious than ever, and the strength in his hand was heavier than usual.

Promise wrapped his arms around his waist, pressed his cheek to his chest, and said, "No matter what the outcome is, she won't kill you, and I won't forget you, go ahead." ”

After finishing speaking, he stood up straight and pushed Xiao Yuan.

After glancing deeply at Xu Yu, Xiao Yuan turned around and left.

Staring at Xiao Yuan's stiff back, he took a deep breath. Although she comforted him, she was nervous in her heart, and her breathing quickened.

He is burdened with too many abuses and doubts, if he asks about the situation today, he may be able to get rid of it, and be his true self in front of the world, and no longer need to wear the mask of that gentleman.

Xiao Yuan entered the palace to meet Empress Liu.

Seeing his solemn expression, Empress Liu waved her hand and dispersed the palace maids serving in the palace.

"Shiro, sit. Empress Liu had a smile on her face and stared straight at Xiao Yuan.

"Sage, I only have a few words to ask you, so I won't sit down. Xiao Yuan arched his hand and gave another salute.

Empress Liu stood up and said, "What do you want to ask?" ”

"The son wants to ask the sage two things this time, one is the truth about the poisoning of King Zhou back then, and the other is the reason why the son's mother Zhang hanged herself, and the sage is bothered to answer for the son. ”

After speaking, Xiao Yuan knelt down and bowed.

Empress Liu smiled slightly, very indifferent, not surprised by Xiao Yuan's question.

She walked up to Xiao Yuan and wanted to help him, but after seeing his broad shoulders and deeply bowed head, she seemed to feel his determination and withdrew her hand.

"These four ......" Empress Liu asked, she knew Xiao Yuan's martial arts, and asked him if anyone was eavesdropping.

"Nobody. Xiao Yuan replied.

"King Zhou, this child, has been smart and benevolent since he was a child, and he is very loved by the emperor, and his biological mother is Queen Guo, and the official family did intend to make him the crown prince at that time. ”

"I met the official family when I was young, but I didn't enter the palace until the official family succeeded to the throne, and seven years later I was named a four-grade beauty, and then I was promoted twice. In the harem back then, except for Queen Guo, I was the one with the highest grade. ”

Empress Liu was not in a hurry, and told the original story of the incident back then.

She met and fell in love with the emperor when she was fifteen, but she did not enter the palace until she was almost thirty years old.

After entering the palace, because of her ordinary background, she was always slandered and excluded, but the emperor loved her the most and always maintained her, which made the rest of the harem even more red.

In the first month of the early years of Jingde, she was named a four-grade beauty, and later she was named a first-grade concubine, so special favor aroused the jealousy of many people.

In this year, the nine-year-old King Zhou was poisoned and died, and half a month later, another two-month-old prince also died.

For a while, everyone accused her, saying that she was jealous of Empress Guo and wanted to kill the prince instead, and the rumors spread more and more.

The two princes died one after another, and the courtiers' harem was in a mess.

The emperor chose to believe her, and Empress Guo was furious and asked the emperor to let her apologize for her sin with death.

Soon, it was found out that Concubine Shu instructed to kill the two princes, thus framing her.

The emperor was about to announce the matter, but was stopped by her, she said: "Everyone is just suspicious of me, if you announce that the world's concubine sister has done such a vicious thing, doesn't it mean that Guo Shengren is not properly controlled?"

The emperor listened to her advice, only told Empress Guo about the matter, and handed Concubine Shu over to Empress Guo for disposal.

Xiao Yuan knelt without moving, what Queen Liu said was the same as what he checked, and all kinds of evidence proved that King Zhou was killed by Concubine Shu.

In the second year of King Zhou's untimely death, Concubine Shu was punished by the Nine Clans for other crimes.
