Chapter 6: Heavenly Machine
After the failure of the Bailu Palace Rebellion in the previous dynasty, the new emperor immediately launched thunderous measures to eradicate the traitorous henchmen who supported the king of Jiaodong. Chang'an's rebellious ministers and thieves fell one after another, and the clans that were seized were exiled to the wilderness, or beheaded all over the house, and the city was full of blood and rain for a time, and everyone was in danger.
Those who were a little more fortunate stayed in Chang'an and became subordinates, but they were also spurned day by day, which is a minority;
Biyu is the only one who is lucky and lucky, entered the palace, became the head of the palace, fell in love with a prince, and got the infatuation of this prince.
"You should have heard my conversation with the four princes just now, you ......" I sat on the pear blossom chair on the side, and saw that Bi Yu had just woken up from a coma, with a weak look on her face, and she couldn't say anything cruel, "I didn't mean to force you, I just ......"
"What the princess wants to say, the slaves and maids all know what to say. It's just that the slave maid doesn't know, when did the princess know the identity of the daughter of the slave maid's criminal minister?" Bi Yu lay on the bed, her pale face full of sorrow, "If it weren't for the absurdity recently, I'm afraid even His Royal Highness wouldn't know about it......"
I smiled helplessly: "Empress Xiaowen went early, and my brother and I depended on each other, and now even Concubine Shu has fallen, and every step in the palace is full of dangers." Ah Di is young and ignorant of the world, but do you think I don't know how to be cautious?"
She looked at me, there was no trace of brilliance in her eyes, and after a while, she looked into the distance again: "Bi Yan is not mistaken, no matter how ridiculous the eldest princess is on weekdays, her heart is still sober." He smiled bitterly, very similar to Jing Hong's expression, "But, please also ask the princess to tell Bi Yu, how should Bi Yu wake up?"
Bi Yu bit her lower lip tightly, but her eyes were filled with tears.
"Wake up or not, I can't control you. I turned my face away with difficulty, and stopped talking, "That day, my brother came to Yang to ask for a name for you, and I was prevaricated by a few words, and I knew in my heart that he valued you and didn't want to wronged you." You're also a person who understands, why did you do such a foolish thing today? Tell me honestly, isn't it ......?"
Bi Yu looked at me steadily, for a long time, and nodded slightly.
Although I had been mentally prepared for a long time, when I heard it from Bi Yan's mouth, I was still stunned, and my heart was mixed for a while.
"I didn't think about it, and I didn't mean to...... It's just that this kid came so suddenly...... I ......"
Bi Yu said at a loss, tears streaming down her face.
I have always hated crying, looking at her helpless appearance, but I can't suppress the pathos in my heart. No matter how confused I am, I also know what it means for a woman to have a child.
There were only two of us in the dormitory, the windows were closed, and there was silence all around.
Bi Yu didn't want to wake up, but the situation forced her to wake up, I didn't want to look at her anymore, and after a while, I finally gritted my teeth and made up my mind:
"Biyu, if I tell you that I want to support Jing Hong to ascend to the throne of God, how will you choose?"
A thunderbolt swept by, and Bi Yan gasped, raised her head suddenly, and looked at me incredulously.
Hidden in the city, I'm afraid no one would have thought that the eldest princess Zhaoyuan, who had not grown up at all, would say such a rebellious word. Maybe even if I heard it, it was just nonsense that I said as a recurrence of hysteria in the past.
Bi Yu probably thought so, and was stunned for a long time, and asked, "Gong, princess...... What's going on......"
I smiled helplessly: "I don't learn all day long, I'm ridiculous, I'm afraid no one will believe that I will do this." I got up and walked around, looked around, and saw that there was no one around, so I asked softly, "In your opinion, what is Mingjun?"
Bi Yu thought for a long time and shook her head: "I don't understand this, I only know that the king of the Dao should be aware of everything and should not be careless of human life!"
I guess that her family was wronged back then, and now she still has a mustard in her heart, saying, "What will happen if the crown prince ascends the throne?"
Bi Yu replied: "Your Highness said that the prince and the lady concubine may have been calculated that day, but the slave maid thinks that it is really difficult for the prince who can be easily framed by others and needs others to relieve the siege. β
I nodded appreciatively: "Then what if the imperial power is taken away by the Xiao family's relatives?"
Bi Yu was puzzled: "The concubine has no heirs, and the first dynasty did not have the rules for establishing the emperor and the princess, this is ......"
I remembered the recent situation of the Zhaoyang Palace, and snorted coldly: "Don't forget, there is a new Chang Jieyu in the Zhaoyang Palace. I have been in Chaolu Temple for three years, and I have already heard that the Xiao family is recruiting troops in southern Yunnan under the banner of the imperial court. Xiao Xiangquan leaned towards the government and the opposition, and his minions were all over the court, and he controlled Yulin with one hand. As for Concubine Xiao, you don't hear any less ugly things between the palace and the palace than me!"
I saw that Bi Yan was stunned, and her expression became solemn.
After a pause, I continued: "The prince was almost deposed, and it was the Xiao family who instructed him to do so. Yuwen's and Xiao's have always been at odds, and this time the spearhead is even more aimed at Yuwen, which still hides all kinds of inextricable interests, and I can't say it for a while......"
"I see, princess. Bi Yu interrupted me, "Princess Mingli and the Yuwen clan support the prince, in fact, they want the East Palace and the Xiao family to fight, so that the fisherman can benefit." β
I shook my head: "It's secondary. At present, Xiao Guifei has teamed up with Chang Jieyu, but it is just to cultivate her own puppet. She is a noble concubine, if one day Chang Jieyu gives birth to a prince and passes it on to her, the consequences will be unimaginable! I am the princess of Da Zhou, the daughter of the heavenly family, and I will never tolerate the imperial power falling into the hands of others! Looking at the entire palace, except for Jing Hong, no one is qualified to take on this great responsibility!"
I looked at Bi Yu fixedly and said, "Bi Yu, I will never tolerate another coup d'Γ©tat in the palace, let alone the dictatorship of my relatives! If it really goes that far, Chang'an will definitely set off a bloody storm again, and how many innocent people will be implicated in the 'Bailu Palace Change' that day!"
When Bi Yu heard this, she seemed to be very touched by these words, and her eyes became complicated and deep.
I don't talk anymore. Today I have been honest to this point, whether I want to make sense or not, it is my fate with her.
After a long time, Bi Yan's expression was serious, and she spoke cautiously: "Princess, what should I do?"
I didn't feel relieved: "Taoguang is obscure." After a pause, he added, "Heaven will not treat you badly." β
Bi Yu closed her eyes lightly and shook her head: "I know what my identity is, if I don't turn over one day, as the princess said, I will never wait for the day when I sit next to Jing Hong in the open." β
"I will find a way to make my father look through the old case and return your innocence. During this time, you should first recuperate, stabilize the emotions of the four princes, and don't let him act impulsively. "But you have to promise me two things." β
"Celestia, please. β
"When I walk out of this door, you forget all the things of the day. You are Bi Yu, the palace maid in charge of this palace, Jing Hong misses you and has done foolish things to you, but you actually have someone else in your heart. β
Bi Yu didn't speak, and her expression was very complicated.
"Only you and I know about this matter at present, and success or failure depends on the future. During this time, Jing Hong will come to pester you again, you had better be ruthless, otherwise your identity will be used by someone with a heart to make a big fuss, and Jing Hong will be ruined!"
Bi Yan's eyes were wooden, and she finally nodded ruthlessly: "Hmm." β
I couldn't bear it, but I couldn't help it.
Before leaving, Bi Yu asked, "Princess, does General Yuwen know about this matter?"
I stopped: "No." "Yuwen Qiye only knows that I and him support the prince, but I can contain the power of the Xiao family, as for my intention to support Li Jinghong, he has not noticed it from beginning to end. And whether he has his own calculations in this matter, I have no way of knowing.
Bi Yu asked again, "Princess, what is the second thing?"
The sunlight outside the Canghua Hall is very good today, but it doesn't seem to shine into the deep room. The clouds on the horizon were blown away by the wind, blocking out some of the daylight.
"Tomorrow I'll ask Zhizhi to bring me a bowl of saffron. β
