At night, the Palace of Filial Piety.

The Empress Dowager held the gold-glazed tea lid in her hand and skimmed the tea leaves in the tea bowl, frowning and listening to the female official's reply: "Yuan Shuren of the East Palace reached out and grabbed the sleeve of the princess, her expression was very excited, I don't know what she said, the princess's face changed for a moment, and it was very ugly. ”

The female official's voice was peaceful, and when she mentioned the change in the princess's face, her voice was as unwavering as before.

The Empress Dowager glanced at her: "This palace has an old bone, and you can't see that you have something to hide?" Even if she says it, will Bengong still be afraid that she will not be a lady surnamed Yuan? ”

The female officer sighed slightly: "Your old man is sharp-eyed, and you really can't hide anything." Then he told the Empress Dowager about Yuan Shuren's interception of Huizhi from beginning to end.

Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager, who has always been moody, was furious and threw off the tea cup in her hand: "This palace knows that their Yuan family does not have a good thing!" ”

The female official Gong E immediately huhula lala, all prostrate on the ground.

The female official who replied cautiously persuaded: "The Empress Dowager, you must be careful about your body, don't be spoiled by the popularity of these irrelevant people!" Yuan Shuren is just a person who has always been unfavored in the East Palace, and now he is instigating the prince not to respect filial piety during the filial piety period, and to prostitute himself during the day, and the Empress Dowager will be dealt with by someone if she orders it, why are you so angry! ”

The Empress Dowager threw the teacup, lost her temper, and already felt that most of the anger in her heart had dissipated, and ordered the female official Gong E to be flat, and the female official gave a look to the palace maid next to her, and the palace maid served a mung bean soup after a while.

The Empress Dowager took two sips, dissipated her anger, and then whispered a few words to the female official, and the female official retreated.

The Empress Dowager looked at the Goryeo paper pasted on the window without a match, and her eyes were in a trance.

Her surname is Xiao, the Xiao family is a loyal and good general for generations, and the former dynasty was the general's mansion of the current dynasty, and her aunt was a female general who moved the world when the dynasty changed.

Later, my aunt and uncle lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and Taizu authorized them to hold a 500-strong White Tiger Guard and settle down in the mountains and forests.

My uncle was proficient in Qimen Dunjia, and he and his aunt set up a valley to create a silent valley in a smoky valley in the mountains and forests.

Decades ago, after the death of her husband, Emperor Xiao, when she was guarding her young son and struggling to support the government, Wuyin Valley had sent a letter through the Xiao family, and she knew that her aunt had borrowed the hands of the Xiao family and the Qin family to set up a white tiger guard by her side.

The Xiao and Qin families are both the founding heroes, and they are the right-hand men of Taizu in fighting the world, and they can be regarded as world friends, but I am afraid that the Xiao family and the Qin family have long known that their two ancestors were once close to each other.

It was also this white tiger guard that helped her stabilize the harem, overcome obstacles, and help her young son grow up and get married.

For so many years, she kept the existence of Bai Huwei a secret, but she didn't know who knew about Bai Huwei's existence, which attracted the eyes of the prince and the queen.

can't be called the queen, the Yuan family has already died, but the emperor has not given her the title yet.

I'm afraid that what the prince is doing now is crazy, and the Yuan family, who will be affected, will not be able to be buried according to the queen's ceremony in a serious manner.

The Empress Dowager chuckled, it is forgivable to do evil in heaven, and it is really impossible to live if you do it yourself.

In order to track down the whereabouts of Baihuwei and Wuyin Valley, the Yuan family and the crown prince dared to use killers to humiliate and bully her descendants of the Xiao family when she left the palace to worship the Buddha, she hated them in her heart, but she had no way to deal with them.

One is the queen of the Middle Palace, the mother of the world, and the other is the prince of the East Palace, the future prince. Either move will hurt the foundation of the country.

Early the next morning, as soon as Hui Zhi got up and sat in front of the dresser to let the girl comb her hair, she saw Pei Gu come in with the curtain pulled up early, smiled at her and said, "There is news from the palace." ”

Hui Zhi looked at his face, although she smiled, she was a little gloomy, knowing that she was afraid that there must be some big news to say, so the maids around her made a color, and walked out of the inner room with a few mermaids.

Pei Gu walked to Hui Zhi's side, and gently gave Hui Zhi a jade comb in his hand, and his voice was low and slow: "Queen Yuan was buried as a concubine, and there is no title, only Concubine Yuan, the prince seems to have dressed up in disguise and left the palace early yesterday morning, and his whereabouts are still unknown." ”

Hui Zhi was startled, and suddenly wanted to turn back, her hair was entangled in the comb, and she grinned in pain, Pei Gu suddenly panicked, and suddenly got up in a hurry, with her hands wrapped around her hair, it was difficult to control the comb for a while, and she was afraid of holding the comb and pulling her hair again, until she called Xianfang in, arranged Hui Zhi's hair properly, pulled a homely bun, and asked if she wanted to pass breakfast first.

Hui Zhi looked at Pei Gu, Pei Gu nodded and said, "After passing the breakfast, there is no need for anyone to serve me, I have important things to discuss with the princess." ”

With Fang Fang's head, but after a while, he set up breakfast, and then withdrew with the maids.

Both of them couldn't cry or laugh at this toss, and Hui Zhi's surprise when she heard the news had faded for most of the time, and she was able to calmly listen to Pei Gu calmly while holding her favorite side dishes.

Pei Gu looked at the filial piety clothes prepared for the queen's crying and mourning in Hui's inner room, and immediately said to Huizhi: "This filial piety dress can be withdrawn, since it is a concubine burial and there is no title, obviously the emperor doesn't want to do it for the sake of face, and there is no need to cry and mourn in the palace." ”

Hui Zhi nodded, "What's the matter with the prince?" What happened in the palace yesterday? ”

Pei Gu gave her a chopsticks and a small green vegetable, and the dark color paused, and then said: "After ordering the woman to leave the palace yesterday, Concubine Shuniang took people to the East Palace to tie up Yuan Shuren at the behest of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, and Yuan Shuren died violently at night. ”

Hui Zhi thought of the incident where Yuan Shuren stopped her in the palace yesterday, although Pei Gu had comforted her gently yesterday, she still felt a little frightened, and wondered: "Do you know what the crime is?" ”

"Instigating the prince to disrespect his elders during filial piety and act absurdly." Pei Gu looked at her expression and hurriedly said.

I almost said, "It has nothing to do with you" to comfort Hui Zhi.

Hui Zhi's face really got better, "The queen... Now it should be called Concubine Yuan, what is the title of Concubine Yuan? ”

"The prince is not filial, and the Yuan family is responsible for negligence." Pei Gu couldn't help but pout, "This reason can only be put on the table to block everyone's mouths." Today, the palace has sent someone to Jiangnan to prepare to cure the Yuan family's crimes. ”

Hui Zhi thought for a long time, sighed softly, and asked the doubts in her heart for a long time: "The prince is the prince of the East Palace, there is nothing wrong, this world will be his sooner or later, even if Concubine Yuan is seriously ill, but the harem will not contain him too much, why does he act so absurdly, is it because he is afraid that he will sit firmly in the position of the prince?" ”
