Chapter 5: The Events of the Year
The two passers-by looked at the crowd around them and confirmed that there was nothing wrong before they lowered their voices and whispered to Qing Yao. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"There was a turmoil three years ago, and the emperor abdicated at that time......"
"Turmoil?"
Qing Yao was puzzled and couldn't help but ask.
"yes. Passers-by nodded. "I heard that the three princes rebelled and wanted to harm His Royal Highness the Prince......"
"The prime minister also sent someone to harm the young master of Qiguan, who was still the heir at the time......"
"If you want me to say, it's not because Mrs. Ling doesn't know people clearly......
Qing Yao listened to what the two of them said, and finally understood what she didn't have time to figure out three years ago.
Back then, the third prince was dissatisfied with the power of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and wanted to replace him.
However, he was inferior to the crown prince in terms of political performance, so he naturally did not get the favor of the emperor.
For the sake of the throne, the three princes united the forces of their mother's family to win over the forces of the DPRK and China.
Among them, the most eye-catching is Prime Minister Chu.
In order to make himself and his family go further, the prime minister resolutely took his concubine Chu Yunxiu as an important part of his strategy.
After Chu Yunxiu received his father's order, he began to approach the Qiguan family quietly, and successfully won Ling Yunshan's love, and he already treated her as the fiancée of Qiguan Junyao.
It was precisely because of Ling Yunshan's help that Chu Yunxiu was able to smoothly approach Qiguan Junyao and launched a premeditated poisoning.
"I see......"
Qing Yao had felt that there was something wrong with the prime minister's daughter many times, but because of the identity of the other party, she couldn't say what she guessed.
As soon as the things are connected, the events of the year will be clear at once.
To put it bluntly, this is the so-called immortal fight mortal suffering.
The struggle for the throne above the court has spread to various families, and the first to bear the brunt is the Qiguan family, which is a top family.
"What about the original prime ministers, and now?"
Qing Yao pondered for a moment and asked hesitantly.
The two passers-by looked at her in surprise, and then quickly replied: "This matter has long been known to everyone, but I think you are a foreigner, it shouldn't be clear, so we will tell you in detail......
"Hmm. ”
Qing Yao bowed slightly, acquiescing to the words of the two.
"Because the incident of the year implicated the heir of the Qiguan family, the matter was also very big, even ordinary people have heard some rumors......"
"The third prince was put under house arrest, but Prime Minister Chu, who was the power in his hands, was raided all over the house and punished the six clans ......"
"Zhu Liu's ......"
When Qing Yao heard this, she narrowed her eyes slightly in surprise.
"Yes, I heard that it was originally going to punish the nine clans, or the new emperor then ascended the throne and forgave some people......"
"Oh......" she nodded, signaling for her understanding.
At this moment, she had to sigh at the impermanence of the world.
When she was about to arrive at Chu Yunxiu for the first time, she was really amazed, if that thing hadn't happened, that person would have been very popular in the royal capital.
When she sighed, she suddenly remembered what she was doing.
She originally wanted to ask about the eldest princess, why did it suddenly come to the third prince back then?
"You two, you haven't told me about the eldest princess yet......"
"Yes, yes, weren't we talking about the eldest princess just now?
The passerby sighed, and then was scared by the person next to him on the shoulder.
"It's not like you've gone off the rails......"
"Ahem...... Let's continue with the previous topic......"
The passerby coughed lightly and turned the subject back.
"This eldest princess is famous, the emperor's favorite is this eldest princess, and she still responds to requests, so she also has her own power in her hands......"
When Qing Yao heard this, she lowered her eyebrows slightly.
"Famous?"
She chuckled lightly and slowly turned her gaze to the glamorous eldest princess on the stone steps.
The two passers-by naturally couldn't see her face under the white veil, and still whispered: "This eldest princess has a big temper, and it is precisely because of this that she was married at the age of twenty-three under the arrangement of the emperor......
Qing Yao heard this and nodded.
In this dynasty, if there is no accident, women generally reach the age of fifteen and Yi will get married, and those who are a little later will not be able to delay for a few years, and it is indeed very rare for them to be married at the age of twenty-three.
However, it can also be seen from this that the eldest princess is indeed favored by the emperor. ”
Qing Yao sighed silently in her heart, but did not say these words.
Passers-by naturally didn't know what she was thinking, and still said to herself.
“…… However, the concubine had a short life, and died after only a few months of marriage, and the eldest princess has been staying in the concubine mansion for several years, and has not come out......"
"And what happened to her today?"
Qing Yao said, looking meaningfully at the eldest princess on the stone steps.
"This...... passer-by sighed, and then said in a low voice: "We don't know the specific things, but a few months ago, the eldest princess appeared in the Qiguan Mansion as the master, and it seems that the two of them are close to ...... good things."
"What's coming?" retorted another. "It's not that you don't know that the eldest princess has not yet been out of the filial piety period, and she must have been together for a long time, otherwise how can she make sense of her actions now living in the mansion of the official......"
"This ......"
Qing Yao looked at the talented and beautiful two men and women on the high platform, and was so depressed that she couldn't speak.
She listened to the words of the two people beside her, and suddenly felt that the meaning of her return was completely gone.
"Girl, the matter of the eldest princess, let's just talk about it ourselves, don't be right, we ordinary people can't afford to mess with the royal people......"
Passers-by noticed that she kept looking at the eldest princess, and hurriedly reminded her.
"Do you know the name of the eldest princess?"
She only knew that the royal people were all surnamed Mu, and the rest was not clear.
At the beginning, when she followed Qiguan Junyao's side, the only royal people she came into contact with were His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, and the situation at that time also made her not have much time to contact the royal people.
"I know this......" the passerby replied. "The eldest princess's name is Mu Danxuan. ”
"Oh. Mu Danxuan?"
Qing Yao answered, lowered her eyes and muttered.
At this point, she had roughly figured out what was going to happen three years later.
She desperately wanted to seek answers from Qi Guan Junyao at the moment, but the moment she stepped out, she hesitated.
"It's only been a month or two for me, three years for you indeed. Qing Yao stared at the official Junyao who had a cold face even when greeting the guests.
"Three years from now, will you still remember me, the dead man?"
When she left, although she portrayed herself as something to leave, there were too many things that could happen in three years, enough to forget someone.
"I now know that three years is such a long time......"
