After hearing that Old Lady Qin had returned, King Gaomi no longer expected Princess Gaomi to give himself face in Concubine Mo's funeral.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that the next day, the princess still appeared in the mourning hall in the palace.

It's not that she wanted to open it herself, but Qi took a few children back and knelt in Xiangji Hall for a day and a night, and knelt until Princess Gaomi was soft-hearted.

"How can you not be kind to this virtuous woman?" After hearing the news, King Gaomi was silent for a long time, and called the prince Rong Qing to come to him, and rebuked him euphemistically, "What's more, in a family like ours, your grandmother died, on this occasion, can a messy person mix everywhere?!"

Rong Qingchu knew that Tonglian was referring to this, and said with a smile: "Father, the child is just afraid that Yu'er will be too tired, so find a helper for her." Before entering the palace, I said that she would let her listen to Yu'er's instructions and do things, and she was not allowed to contradict her!"

"It is natural for the concubine to obey the orders of the housewife. King Gaomi frowned, "You concubine, you still need you to give you extra advice?"

Familiar with his son's temperament, he thought about it carefully at this time, and felt strange, "You have never been a lustful person, and how many stunning singers and dancers were sent up before, and they were also unruly and insisted on not reluctant." Why is this Tonglian, her appearance is among those beauties, at most, she is general, and her temperament is not virtuous, and she is said to be less considerate than the world's sons and wives when she usually serves you...... Why are you dizzy by her, and even Jian'an's children are bullied by her, and you can continue to favor her?"

King Gaomi couldn't help but be suspicious, "You shouldn't have some tricks in her hands and have to give in to her frequently, right?"

"Father, how is it possible?" Rong Qingyu hurriedly said when he heard this, "Not to mention what the child did, he never hid it from his father." Let's just say that even if the child has a handle in her hands, she is a reckless woman, where can she threaten the child?"

King Gaomi felt the same, and became more and more strange: "Then why do you favor her like this? You should know that neither I nor your mother do not like that concubine! You are not a good woman, and you have always been filial, why do you not listen to me in this matter when I speak to your mother and concubine several times for the world's wife? You have never been so disobedient before. ”

"......" Rong Qingchu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and was thinking quickly, at this time, a personal guard came in to report the battle situation, saying that the forbidden army on the Chang'an side was like a bamboo all the way to Shanglin Yuan, but it was blocked on the bank of the Tasha River.

Tasha River is about ten miles away from the west city wall of Chang'an, surrounded by lush vegetation, originally just a nameless river, next to it except for the weeping willows that can be seen everywhere, there is nothing else.

When the first emperor Xiaozong Emperor, a royal outing, Rou Guifei from the car curtain to watch the scenery along the way, when crossing the Tasha River, casually said that here is just like the predecessor "Tasha Xing" in the "spring breeze does not lift the ban on poplar flowers, and the misty fluttering on the pedestrians' faces" description, Emperor Xiaozong ordered the river to be renamed the Tasha River in order to please the concubine.

This river is actually not very deep and not wide, otherwise it would not have even had a serious name before Emperor Xiaozong gave it a name.

However, after the defeat of King Gaomi from the Hehuan Palace that night, the forbidden army in Shanglin Yuan, under the command of the generals, began to build fortifications day and night.

King Gaomi, under the banner of avenging Concubine Mo, entered the palace and went to Lin Yuan for the first time, and was blocked here.

"The order goes down, there is a reward of 1,000 taels for those who break the enemy, and the official position will be promoted to the third level!" After listening to the detailed report, King Gaomi frowned slightly, and after instructing the guards to convey the order of the heavy reward, he turned his head and asked Rong Qingyu, "How is the Huan family's side?"

Rong Qingchu shook his head: "The people below said that they had never found it." ”

"Huan Guanlan, this old fox!" King Gaomi's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, and he sneered, "Let's see how long he can hide!!

Before Concubine Mo was assassinated, King Gaomi announced to the public that it was the ambition of the wolf son of the Meng family led by the Empress Dowager Meng, in a vain attempt to usurp the throne, because he resented King Gaomi for revealing the truth, so he murdered the concubine as revenge, but in fact he suspected that it was done by Huan Guanlan.

At that time, he summoned Mrs. Sheng and others to question.

This is not only because Old Lady Sheng and others have a close relationship with Rong Sleeping Crane, but mainly because he can't find the Huan family.

The Huan family where Huan Guanlan is located, before the appearance of Huan Guanlan, a famous emperor, a famous minister, and a great Confucian, had a status similar to that of ordinary squires in Bishui County.

After Huan Guanlan got ahead, because of the mediocre qualifications of his children and grandchildren, almost all of them were forbidden by him, and only taught them to develop in Sangzi, and gradually became a first-class family in Bishui County.

It's just that there is still no one to be an official.

Later, Huan Guanlan Zhishi returned to his hometown and disappeared suddenly, and the case reached the heavens, and everyone in the government and the opposition who was once in trouble was in danger.

Empress Dowager Meng was not only grateful for Huan Guanlan's support to their mother and son back then, but also to appease the indignation of the people of the world, especially Huan Guanlan's subordinates, and ordered Huan Guanlan's knees to have heirs, only Huan Guanlan's eldest son, that is, Yongyibo, was willing to go to Chang'an, and the others still stayed in Bishui County.

After Yongyibo's family arrived in Chang'an, although they had close contacts with Huan Guanlan's disciples in the court, especially Luo Pu and the like, they did not mean to be involved in the battle between King Gaomi and the Meng family.

And Yongyi Bo is very low-key, except for receiving Huan Guanlan's disciples, he doesn't move around with others at all. The only exception is the lord of Jingshu County, who is only a woman, and he is still young when he came to Chang'an, and the people who travel are all young ladies in Guizhou, who talk about nothing more than food, clothing, housing, transportation, rouge and gouache, and the matter of the temple can be said to have nothing to do with the temple.

In this case, although both King Gaomi and the Meng family hope to win the support of the Huan family, Huan Guanlan's reputation is not easy to use, and he can only start with Huan Yehe, who is getting older and can propose marriage, but Yongyibo and others are subconsciously ignored.

So much so that on the night when King Gaomi suddenly raised troops and intended to seize the palace, after blocking the whole city to pursue the Meng family's henchmen, he remembered the Huan family and sent people to it, only to find that the Yongyi Bo Mansion had already been empty, and there was even a thin layer of ash on the things in the house!

Inquire left and right, because the whole of Yongyi Bo Mansion is not very suitable for the climate of Chang'an, except for the main Huan of Jingshu County. Therefore, there has always been a habit of leaving Chang'an and going to Zhuangzi outside the city to live for a while.

So when I left this time, no one doubted that no one thought much about it...... Well, maybe they really just wanted to go to Zhuangzi to live, so they escaped the change of seizing the palace?

In short, Chang'an is like this, and Yongyibo's family will come back when they are stupid!

When King Gaomi heard the news, of course, he immediately called someone to look for it.

But the next person took the address of the annex of Yongyibo Mansion that he inquired about, and looked around one by one, and walked through everything in the Grange, and he didn't see the figure of this family!

In this case, King Gaomi became more and more convinced of the assassination of Concubine Mo, and the real culprit was Huan Guanlan's speculation.

Because according to the news I heard, the Yongyi Bofu family lived away from the city, and they lived in a few other courtyards, and they didn't change it at all in the past few years! Moreover, when they went to live in a small house, the lord of Jingshu County, Huan Yehe, in order to ensure that his position in the circle of nobles in Chang'an would not be shaken, he did not participate in nine out of ten times.

This time, the whole family, including Huan Yehe, left Chang'an, and there has been no news of it so far.

"If the change in Chang'an is not a decision made by himself, but unknowingly used as a gun by Huan Guanlan...... "As long as King Gaomi thinks of this possibility, he feels like he is on pins and needles!"

Because this means that the situation that seems to be gradually gaining the upper hand and becoming more and more beneficial to oneself day by day is all water and moon mirror flowers, and may make wedding clothes for others at any time!

What's worse is that although he himself realized this, he didn't dare to speak out at all, let alone consult with his subordinates. Because once the news leaks and shakes the hearts of the army, who knows if the people behind the scenes will do it in advance, so that he doesn't even have a chance to resist?

Therefore, looking for the errand of the Huan family, King Gaomi did not dare to entrust it to anyone else, so he could only hand it over to the prince Rong Qing.

At this time, he waved his hand calmly and said: "Huan Guanlan and Mi Zhen have an ambiguous relationship, the two of them are in the light and in the dark, I thought that Mi Zhen is thousands of miles away, and the other is his own flesh and blood, after taking Huan Guanlan, no one is behind the scenes to instigate him to stop with us, and I can't say that we can continue the friendship between father and son!

"But he has been hiding his head and refusing to come forward, and he thought before that he might have another plan and did it on purpose!"

"But now ......"

King Gaomi sneered and said, "Ten out of ten is something unspeakable, it's not easy to come forward, right?"

He didn't want to continue the topic, so he asked Rong Qingchu instead, "How is the funeral in the palace?" Your mother and concubine are not in good health and tired, but these things are tired of the child!"

When their father and son were talking about trivial matters here, they went to Lin Yuan and took the Luan Palace.

The name of Chengluan Palace is because of the waterfront, on a large tidal flat in front of the palace gate, there are often hundreds of birds flying and gathering, fluttering gracefully. At that time, some people proposed to name this scene as a hundred birds and a phoenix, and to take the Luan Palace as the queen's residence to be auspicious.

But the queen who reigned at that time didn't like to be noisy, so she chose another place to live, and this place naturally didn't dare to call herself "a hundred birds and a phoenix", so she was reduced to Luan.

Now it is the place where Empress Dowager Meng temporarily stays.

Empress Dowager Meng was pulling Meng Guiyu to tears: "Rong Jing is really too deceitful!! although the mourning family is not the middle palace of the first emperor, but since the emperor inherited the throne, a few of them have been called 'queen mother', and they admit that they have never done anything to be sorry for them! Speaking of your three uncles, he also wants to shout 'uncle', why did he suddenly kill the killer, and he didn't even let go of the delicate girl and child, and at this time he slandered the emperor as a stand-in, and even the mourning family was framed for the crime of plotting to kill the Mo family?!"

"I don't want to think about the Queen Mother who has been the Queen Mother for so many years, the master of Naixin Shou Palace!"

"The Mo family has always lived in the side hall of Xinshou Palace with the mourning family, and if the mourning family wants to clean her up, when will there be no chance, when can't?!"

"I've been living with her peacefully for many years, but I didn't expect that there would be such a thing!"

"I knew that today, I shouldn't have listened to Duke Huan in the first place, and I should have let the Mo slut go down with the Huang slut to see the first emperor!!"

The Huang family is the concubine of the first emperor.

"Auntie, Rong Jing has been favored by the first emperor and has coveted the throne for a long time. "Meng Guiyu's status is not what it used to be, even if the materials in Shanglin Yuan are not as rich as Chang'an, but the royal family has always been extravagant, this kind of palace is very close to Chang'an City, and the clothes are prepared for many years.

And Empress Dowager Meng, Emperor Xuanjing, and the Shu sisters, who love luxury, are all there, and needlework and other manpower are also indispensable.

At this time, he has changed into a tailor-made commander's costume, although he has lost a lot of weight, and there are some shadows under his cheekbones, but between his eyebrows, he has also precipitated the momentum of the superior, and his eyes are full of majesty and wordless condescension, all of which have lost the smiling and gentle appearance of the foreword.

But in the face of the Queen Mother's crying, he still listened patiently, at least seemed patient, and finally comforted him softly, "We learned about his wolf ambition early in the morning! Isn't it just revealing it now? It's just that as the saying goes, justice is in the hearts of the people!"

"If he does such a thing that destroys his conscience, sooner or later there will be retribution!"

"Let's wait for him to be full of evil, and he will naturally be ruined, and then his crimes will be announced to the world, why worry that the world will not return his aunt and His Majesty's innocence?!"

Empress Dowager Meng wiped her tears, looked at him, and sighed: "Alas, good boy, I have wronged you these days...... Look at you've lost a lot of weight, but you have to take care!"

Meng Guiyu smiled and said, "Auntie, you misunderstood, nephew, this is a bitter summer." ”

He is in power at this time, and the things that need to be dealt with are also complicated, so the aunt and nephew said a few more words, and one after another people came to ask for instructions, and the queen mother let him go: "Good boy, you go to do serious things, at this time, the net worth and life of the mourning family and the emperor are entrusted to you, don't delay in front of the old bones of the mourning family!"

"What did my aunt say?" Meng Guiyu said softly, "My nephew's parents went early, and over the years, among the elders, my aunt loves my nephew the most, and I say that I am an aunt, and in my nephew's mind, I am no different from my own mother! If it weren't for trivial matters, my nephew would be eager to serve you every day, for fear that my aunt would annoy my nephew." ”

The Queen Mother laughed when she said this, and said angrily: "Why didn't you find out before, you still talk so sweetly?" Come on, go and do something, the mourning family asked the small kitchen to stew bird's nest for you, and then Chi Zuosi personally sent it over, remember to eat it while it's hot!"

Meng Guiyu thanked her with a smile, and then left, the warm atmosphere in the hall had not yet dissipated, Chi Zuosi turned out from behind the screen, the Queen Mother had a cold face, turned her head to look at her, and asked softly: "You say...... What happened to the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother, does it have anything to do with him?"
