A few days later, Zhao Yuan's motorcade returned to Hanyang Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because Yunyang's body had not yet recovered, Zhao Yuan directly took her into Changxin Palace and settled her.
Changxin Palace, which has been cold and quiet for the past few days, has become warm and lively because of Yunyang's arrival.
The ministers wrote one after another, asking the emperor to explain why he did not go to court for several days? Zhao Yuan only said lightly that he went to the north to scatter his heart, and accepted a Sun beauty into the palace and named him a concubine.
Everyone wanted to ask more about who this mysterious concubine was, but they were quietly blocked back by Zhao Yuan.
However, it is inconvenient for the minister to ask more about the situation of Concubine Zhen, but Cheng Xinxin suddenly assassinated this Concubine Zhen on the way back to Beijing, which is really incredible. After all, Cheng Xin is a product of the dynasty, and he is powerful in all directions, what reason does he have to kill a woman from the north who has just been favored by the emperor for only ten days?
What's even more unexpected is that he failed to assassinate him, and he was poisoned, and finally died extremely miserably. As soon as this incident reached the capital, there was an uproar, and many ministers mentioned this matter in the compromise, asking the emperor to give a detailed explanation to the people of the world, otherwise rumors would definitely spread.
Zhao Yuan agreed to the minister's request and asked the imperial scribe to draft an edict explaining the details of the matter to the people of the world. But in this edict, Zhao Yuan did not put the blame on Cheng Xinli, but only said that the reason why he made a series of rebellious actions was completely because he was driven by Gu poison, not out of his original intention.
Such a conviction preserved the safety of Cheng Xin's family and Cheng Xin's property, and the historian would also write Cheng Xinxin as a poor person who was framed in the history of Daqi, and won the sympathy of future generations.
Zhao Yuan did this not entirely because of Cheng Xinxin's relationship with him for many years, but because he had a clear understanding of this matter. He knows Cheng Xinxin's character very well, and in Cheng Xinxin's heart, although he doesn't communicate much with Yunyang, he has never reached the point where he has to kill Yunyang.
Zhao Yuan can now judge that Cheng Xin's previous assassination of Yunyang was entirely to protect the empress. But the current situation is, is the person who harmed Cheng credible the queen? If so, then this most powerful woman in the Great Qi Country is really too vicious.
Since he knew that the queen was not a good stubble, Zhao Yuan would definitely strengthen the protection of Yunyang.
After returning to the palace, Zhao Yuan asked Yunyang to recuperate in Changxin Palace with peace of mind, and no one was allowed to visit, if it was not a person from Changxin Palace, there was no holy decree to dare to approach the place where Yunyang lived for various reasons, no matter who was immediately sentenced to death.
The emperor has never issued such a strict order in the harem, although the concubines in the harem have a strong curiosity about this woman from the north, but there is an order from the emperor there, and none of them dare to make a mistake.
As a result, everyone can be regarded as finding a conversation point that can arouse everyone's interest in this lonely deep palace. For a while, there was a lot of discussion and rumors in the palace. Some people say that this concubine is actually a good friend of the emperor when he was a teenager, and she has already sworn an alliance, but how do you know that the emperor went to the Central Plains, and the concubine went to the north of Xinjiang. The emperor was infatuated, and sent people to the north to find Concubine Zhen for more than ten years, and finally found her, so he took her back regardless of it.
Some people also say that the eight characters of this concubine are excellent, and it is said that it will take twenty years to produce such a one, so the emperor thought about the country's society, and only then did his best to disagree with the public and personally went to northern Xinjiang to bring this woman back. Don't look at this woman living in Changxin Palace, but the emperor just paid tribute to her like a living Buddha, and did not have any intimate actions towards her.
It is precisely because she is so important to the country's social affairs that Cheng Xin will risk her determination to die and assassinate her twice in a row. Because Cheng Xin has been controlled by other countries.
There are also people who say that Concubine Zhen is a snow fox spirit who has practiced for thousands of years, and was bumped into by the emperor just after going down Kunlun Mountain......
All in all, there was a miasma of smoke in the palace, and there was nothing to say. But no matter how outrageous and strange these rumors were, the emperor didn't seem to care, and his principle was that these harem women would let them chew their tongues as much as they liked. As long as he doesn't cross the line, he doesn't bother to take care of it.
But this time, no matter how the harem spread rumors, there was always silence in Longkang Palace, as if the people here had never heard these rumors.
In fact, the palace maids in Longkang Palace still heard some news, and they were originally spread as jokes in private, but somehow this matter was known by Xuezhu. She didn't say a word, and after beating up a few palace maids who spread rumors, they all left the palace.
The palace maids never expected that they usually chatted and said a few words, but it was just speculation about the origin of the mysterious concubine, but it inexplicably made Sister Xuezhu angry. As a result, everyone no longer dared to say a word about Concubine Zhen, and the entire Longkang Palace fell into an atmosphere of fear, speculation and caution.
But even so, the queen was uncontrollably emaciated.
Sometimes, in the dead of night, the queen's eyes were as bright as a bright lamp, and she had no sleep, so she could only say a few words to Xuezhu.
"Do you think this concubine's current favor is a little familiar?" Although the queen tried her best to remain calm when she spoke, she could not hide the panic in her heart.
Xuezhu was lying on the ground, listening to the queen's voice floating over, and sighed secretly in her heart: "This concubine has been in the palace for a month. The queen mother only mentioned this matter, and her heart must have turned a thousand times a thousand times, and tonight she finally couldn't bear it. ”
She didn't want to beat around the bush, so she said straight to the point: "This scene in front of me is not only familiar, it is exactly the same as when the concubine was favored." Even more exaggerated than then. It may also be that the emperor feels that he owes too much in the past few years, so he wants to give her everything he can give. ”
When the queen heard Xuezhu's words, she only felt that her heart was suffocated: "You said her, but that she?" ”
"Mother, that's her." Xuezhu said a little angrily: "Now all kinds of signs show that Concubine Zhen is her!" Besides her, who have you seen the emperor care about like this? ”
The queen thought for a while, but finally did not find a reason to refute it. She stared at the roof and said angrily: "All men in the world are thin, and I didn't expect that the emperor would not be exempt from vulgarity." In the past few years, so many women in the harem can't warm his heart, so he has to go to the bitter cold place in northern Xinjiang to pick up a broken flower and willow back. ”
