Chapter 305: Harem
With Li Yi being assigned to Qingcheng and Scholar Wang being sent to prison, the officialdom in the capital became even more chaotic, and the biggest prouders were the two brothers of the Zhang family. Although he is in-law with the Wang family, but because this year, the Zhang Hou brothers have been relatively estranged from the Wang scholar, so this time not only was not implicated by the Wang scholar, but Zhang Zan was appointed as a scholar.
Qi Jiao is close to her grandfather's family on weekdays, and often relies on the emperor's favor, and when it is inconvenient for Wang University, she asks for some rewards and benefits for several cousins of her grandfather's family. At this time, the scholar Wang was bad, and the emperor couldn't help but think of the past when he saw Qi Jiao, so he issued an order to take the position of Qi Jiao's concubine, demote to a concubine, and be grounded, and she couldn't leave her bedroom unless she announced the edict. Even the eldest prince, whom Qi Jiao has always regarded as depending, was also pointed out by the emperor to the queen to raise. When Qi Jiao was in power, the light was too bright, and there were countless people who offended in the palace, even the queen didn't pay attention to her. This time, there is no one who sends charcoal in the snow, but there are not a few people who fall into the well, although they do not live in the cold palace, but the treatment is not much.
Qi Jiao wanted to tell no way, she couldn't see Jing Zhenren, and she couldn't see her mother, as if she had been abandoned by the world. She has never faced such a desperate situation, although there were some difficulties at the beginning of entering the palace, but she was always able to borrow the power of her parents, and she was never helpless like this. The only thing that could give her some comfort was Saitama's disappearance.
Because Saitama took advantage of the trouble of Liluo, Li Yi happened to release the news in the capital, and Mrs. Shizi moved to Zhuangzi the next day because of Liluo's disagreement with Shizi. After Saitama and his entourage left, Li Yi sent someone to pretend to be a robber and burn Zhuangzi, and Saitama's master and servant were nowhere to be found. When everyone in the capital heard the news, they sighed that the original loving couple had fallen into such a result. The dignified Mrs. of the Duke of Qi was robbed by robbers on the outskirts of the city, and for a time no one in the capital went to Zhuangzi to stay, and the original hot spring Zhuangzi was no longer cared for. The emperor instructed Jing Zhaoyin to search for robbers, but at this time, the officialdom was turbulent, and where someone worked hard, he investigated thoroughly, but he arrested some people casually.
Qi Jiao in the palace knew the news, she was in a very happy mood, and finally had a feeling of revenge, she specially ordered someone to prepare a banquet for herself and celebrated it well. The nightmare of the year has finally disappeared now, but it is not in vain that he entered the palace. But what she never expected was that her grandfather would soon fall, and even herself would suffer. At this time, she felt a little remorseful, she didn't listen to her father's words at the beginning, and she was too close to her grandfather's house, but now she was counterattacked.
It turned out that Zhang Hou had long been dissatisfied with the dictatorship of Scholar Wang, and he was even more afraid, after all, how could the emperor's couch allow others to sleep soundly, he felt that it was a matter of time before Scholar Wang did something bad, so after returning to the capital, he kept restricting his wife and daughter from getting too close to the Wang family. What puzzled him was that the emperor had not taken any action, as if acquiescing in what the scholar had done, and the direct result was that the Wang family turned a deaf ear to his words and had close contacts with his mother's family. But the Wang family is still by his side, and it is relatively easy to coerce, and Qi Jiao is not something he can manage in the palace. The only thing he could do was to warn his daughter not to get too close to her grandfather's house. But Qi Jiao sensed the emperor's dependence on the royal scholar from the emperor, and disagreed with her father's words.
Zhang Hou had no choice but to try to get rid of his relationship with Scholar Wang, so when Li Yi came to him for help, he agreed without any hesitation. Now although Li Yi has also been degraded, but Wang Daxue has been beheaded, his brother has become a scholar, and he has also mentioned the Ministry of Rites, and the Zhang family can be said to be the biggest beneficiary of this change.
Qi Jiao has been degraded since she was isolated, except for the palace maids and eunuchs who served around her, she couldn't even see a figure, and the palace door would only be opened every day when she was eating, allowing the people in the imperial dining room to come in, and then she was closed again. With the change of his situation, the food delivered by the imperial dining room also deteriorated, which made it difficult for Qi Jiao to swallow.
At first, she hoped that the emperor might change his mind, or that Jing Zhenren could help her say something good to the emperor again, but as time passed, she didn't wait for anything. Years of life in the palace not only did not hone her resilience, but consumed her last thoughts about life. Soon, like a flower that has lost its moisture, she quickly withered.
Jing Zhenren, who pinned Qi Jiao's hopes, now lives a more nourishing life. Because of Jing Zhenren's reminder and Wang Boyuan's evidence, the emperor knew that King Fu was preparing to rebel, and the reason why he did not send troops to attack King Fu was just an edict ordering King Fu to enter Beijing to face the saint, which was the instability of the border defense in the northwest. Great Qin is eyeing the tiger, if he cleans up King Fu at this time, Daqin will inevitably send troops, if King Fu and Daqin collude together, the consequences will be unimaginable. For King Fu, the emperor has the intention of killing, but he first needs to stabilize the northwest border.
As for Jing Zhenren, he was regarded as a lucky star by the emperor, and he was specially sealed a Qingjing Immortal Master, who could meet the emperor at any time. Jing Zhenren is not from a high background, but he has been taught since he was a child to be good at observing words and feelings, meeting the source left and right, and being good at figuring out other people's thoughts. She knew the reason for Qi Jiao's fall from grace, so naturally it was impossible to say anything good about Qi Jiao.
Back then, she wooed Qi Jiao because Qi Jiao was a concubine and had the value of use, but now Qi Jiao is just a concubine who has fallen out of favor, what else can be used. She is now focused on the emperor, and the most important thing for her is to envelop the emperor well.
The emperor is greedy for women, and there are some abnormal needs, which are not met by the selected famous ladies, because this naturally charming and very open Jing Zhenren is very suitable for her eyes. Although Jing Zhenren's appearance is not outstanding, not to mention Qi Jiao's role, even the other concubines in the palace are not as good, but the emperor just can't let go of this woman and enjoys it very much. The reason for this is that in addition to her profligateness, I am afraid that there is also a bit of *** stimulation, which others cannot give him.
Therefore, Jing Zhenren, the current Qingjing Immortal Master, heard about Qi Jiao's situation, and just smiled faintly, and didn't think about asking at all. In this deep palace, what sisterly love, husband and wife love has never existed.
