Chapter 385: Tokens

King An's Mansion and King Chen's Mansion are very close to each other, King An's Mansion is on fire, and King Chen's Mansion can see it clearly.

Standing on the corridor, you can see the endless smoke over King An's mansion, and the air is filled with a pungent smell.

Qingyun raised her hand to cover her nose, and there was a sigh over there, some of the smell of beating her feet and chest, "Poor An Wangfu, this bad luck is really unexpected, if it weren't for my illness, I couldn't get out, I ......." ”

The voice is very familiar, and there is no doubt that it is the king of Yijun.

Hearing him sigh so much, all the maids and women looked at him, and Qingyun was no exception.

Although King Yijun and King Anjun are not fighting to the death, but the other party is unlucky, and he is absolutely happy in his heart, why do you still feel sorry for King An's mansion?

Could it be that the high fever in the past two days has burned out my brain, and I can't distinguish between friend and foe?

Zheng was surprised, only to hear the sigh of King Yijun, and said, "Let me go to King An's Mansion to visit, I don't need to take medicine, my disease can be at least half cured." ”

A group of maids only felt that their cheeks were suffocating.

Qingyun couldn't help laughing, this is the King of Yijun she knows, she will repay her, how can she have that kindness.

Besides, the fire in King An's Mansion is weird, maybe she is still an accomplice.

When the alcohol reaches a certain purity, it can be burned.

Yesterday, King Yijun woke up from his slumber, and he didn't know what he said to Chu Bei in the pharmacy, so he didn't have a moment, so he asked her for spirits, and the more the better.

You must know that spirits can burn when they reach a certain purity.

However, there are many people in the courtyard, and it doesn't matter if King Yijun gloarts. She couldn't rush to ask King Yijun where he was using his spirits.

Qingyun stood in the courtyard for a while, and Mama Ji came over to ask, "Princess." Breakfast first. ”

Qingyun nodded lightly, wanting to turn around and leave.

Over there, Lu'er ran over with a cigarette, her cheeks were a little red, a smile was on the corner of her mouth, her eyes were shining, she approached, her hands on her knees. Panting roughly, he said, "Princess, not only was King An's Mansion burned yesterday. King Ning's Mansion was also on fire. ”

Qingyun was stunned, and she glanced at King Yijun.

King Yijun shook his head, he didn't have the idea of burning Ning Wangfu, he had clear grievances. He just wanted to find the bad luck of King Anjun. Let yourself feel more comfortable, and it has nothing to do with Ning Wangfu.

Besides, if the county lord Ruoyao knew that he burned the Ning Palace, he couldn't afford it.

Seeing that Qingyun's eyes were puzzled, Lu'er hurriedly waved her hand and said, "King Ning's Mansion didn't burn all of it, because Concubine Ning's residence was next to King An's Mansion, and it was Concubine Ning's courtyard that was burned." ”

Qingyun smiled.

King An's Mansion is huge. Even if it was all burned to ashes, it would be difficult for the fire to spread to King Ning's Mansion. What's more, it only burned Concubine Ning's courtyard.

When burning the Anwang Mansion, he didn't forget to bring Concubine Ning with him, either it was specially ordered by Chu Bei, or the secret guard was in charge of his own affairs.

It's just that she is a little worried, afraid that she will leave any clues, if this is the case, it will be stealing the fox and causing a lot of trouble.

Especially, she still remembered that the emperor sent a secret guard to guard King Ning's mansion and secretly investigate Concubine Ning.

burned Princess Ning's residence under the noses of the secret guards...... This is no small matter.

Although the emperor is also suspicious of Concubine Ning now, there is no conclusive evidence in the end, so it is against national law to burn down a concubine's residence like this.

But now that it's burned, it's useless to worry.

And, soon, Qingyun knew that she was worried in vain.

When King An's mansion was burned, King Anjun was furious, and sent people to search strictly, rummaging through the ruins inside and out, and finally found some clues.

In the ruins, find a token.

He didn't recognize the token, but he was sure it wasn't from the palace.

King Anjun didn't think much about it, after all, when the assassin burned the palace, he would inevitably drop his belongings, and he dared to burn his palace and find his bad luck, which King Anjun couldn't swallow.

He took the token and went directly to the palace to find the emperor.

At that time, the emperor was discussing the government with the ministers in the imperial study.

King Anjun asked to see him, but because the palace was on fire, the emperor stopped what he was doing and let him in.

After entering the imperial study, King Anjun handed the token he found to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this is the token found in the ruins of the palace, not my palace, it should be left by the enemy." ”

Father-in-law Sun took the token and handed it to the emperor for a look.

Looking at the token, the emperor's brows furrowed tightly, and said, "This token looks a little familiar." ”

As he spoke, he handed the token to Zhennanhou and asked Zhennanhou to take a look.

Zhennan Hou took the token, looked left and right, and said, "The minister has never seen such a token, but the pattern on this token, I have seen it, the emperor still remembers the gold silk soft armor that the minister took off from the son of the general Weiyuan of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and there is this pattern on the inside of the soft armor." ”

Hearing the words of the Northern Jin Dynasty, King Anjun's eyes shrank.

The other ministers in the imperial study turned their heads to each other, suspecting that the fire in King An's mansion was caused by the Northern Jin Dynasty.

The emperor glanced at the token a few more times, and suddenly said, "No wonder I feel familiar, I remembered, when I was on the battlefield, I led troops to attack the Northern Jin Dynasty at night, and I wanted to kill the general Weiyuan of the Northern Jin Dynasty, but he secretly guarded him to stop it, and I cut through his clothes with a sword, and a token fell out of his arms, which is no different from this." ”

King Anjun didn't expect that this token would be the secret guard of the Northern Jin Dynasty General Weiyuan, but how could the Northern Jin Dynasty burn his palace?!

This is obviously someone blaming the Northern Jin Dynasty!

Just thinking about it, I listened to the right minister, "King Xuan sent the night pearl to the Northern Jin Dynasty to celebrate his birthday, and was dropped, and the Northern Jin Dynasty caught it, and he must go to the Northern Jin Dynasty in person to apologize, for this reason, he almost forced the King of Yijun to death, but now the token of the Northern Jin Dynasty Wei Yuan General appeared in the An Wang's Mansion, the evidence is conclusive, should the Northern Jin Dynasty Wei Yuan General also come to my Dajin Dynasty to apologize to the King of Anjun?" ”

The emperor flipped through the token left and right, and said, "If you get this token two days earlier, you don't need King Yijun to kneel on the altar to prove his innocence." ”

After speaking, the emperor put down the token and said, "The Northern Jin Dynasty only relies on the Night Pearl being the thing of the Queen Mother of Yijun, and he wants to take it back." When the night pearl was lost, it was determined that it was stolen by King Yijun, and I disdained such a hasty decision. I remember that the secret guards of the Northern Jin Dynasty Weiyuan have this pattern on their bodies, and they dare to burn the Anwang Mansion, and they burn it so thoroughly, I am afraid that there are still a lot of eyeliners hiding under my nose, and the order will be searched and arrested throughout the city! ”

The token can only be regarded as physical evidence, and it also needs a human witness.

Finish commanding these. The emperor looked at King Anjun again, "Now that King An's mansion has been burned, I'm afraid I won't be able to live for a year and a half." I will give you another mansion. ”

King Anjun held back the evil fire in his belly, and he had to thank him obediently.

When he came out of the imperial study, his father-in-law stepped forward to tell him that the Queen Mother was looking for him.

King Anjun went to Yongning Palace to see the Queen Mother. Since knowing that Anwang's Mansion was burned. The Queen Mother was restless, always worried that something would happen to King Anjun, but now seeing King Anjun standing in front of her, the Queen Mother's heart finally fell back into her stomach.

The Queen Mother also heard that King An's Mansion was burned by the Northern Jin Dynasty, and King Anjun looked at the Queen Mother and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, I have no grievances with the Northern Jin Dynasty, why did the Northern Jin Dynasty burn my palace." Even if you want to burn it, you should burn the palace of King Chen. And then blame me, let me and the eldest prince fight, wouldn't it be better? ”

The Queen Mother listened and nodded again and again, "The mourning family saw that the viewing tower of the Huichen Wangfu was burned, which was done by the Northern Jin Dynasty." ”

It's just that at that time, everyone's thoughts were on the day of the housewarming, and it was unlucky to walk in the house, and they didn't delve into it, plus the matter of the fiefdom, this matter was over.

Now that I think about it, the observation tower of Chenwangfu is ten ** burned by the Northern Jin Dynasty, and I want to blame the king of Anjun, but the palace of Chenwang did not pursue it, and the Northern Jin Dynasty did not give up, so I burned the palace of Anwang again.

It is normal to burn down the observation tower of King Chen's Mansion under the blue sky and white sun, and in the dead of night, it is normal to burn King Anjun.

The Queen Mother guessed, King Anjun didn't know what to say, could he say that he suspected that King An's Mansion was burned in Northern Chu, and then blamed it on the Northern Jin Dynasty?

If before, the imperial court still forced the king of Yijun and the old prince to go to the Northern Jin Dynasty to apologize and blame the Northern Jin Dynasty, there would be people who were convinced, or even convinced, but now no one suspects that the night pearl was stolen by the king of Yijun, and the emperor also sent someone to tell King SΓΉ Ning that he would not let the king of Yijun and the old prince go to apologize.

Knowing that no one would believe him when he said it, King Anjun simply put his suspicions in his heart and didn't say a word.

The Queen Mother cared for him and rewarded him with a lot of things, but King Anjun was not the slightest bit happy, he said, "Grandmother Huang, the palace is still in chaos, and the grandson will go back to the house first." ”

Then, he withdrew from the palace.

He left the palace with his front foot, and Concubine Ning entered the palace with his back foot.

Hearing her father-in-law tell Concubine Ning that she was coming, the Queen Mother was still a little surprised, and when Concubine Ning stepped forward to greet her, the Queen Mother said, "The mourning family heard that your residence was also burned, and I was frightened a lot, why don't you rest in the palace, what are you doing in the palace?" ”

Concubine Ning's eyes were red, and her face was still a little pale.

She looked at the Queen Mother and said, "King Ning was ordered to go to the Northern Jin Dynasty to rescue King Xuan, the emperor was afraid that something would happen to the princess and Ruoyao, so he sent two secret guards to the palace to protect them. ”

The Queen Mother nodded when she heard this, asked Concubine Ning to sit down, and instructed the maid to find a doctor to show Concubine Ning and prescribe a few tranquilizers.

After Concubine Ning thanked her, she said, "When I entered the palace just now, I happened to meet King Anjun going out, I heard him say that the emperor gave him another mansion, Queen Mother, last night was really dangerous, if it was really a fire set by the Northern Jin Dynasty, once there was a time, it would be difficult to guarantee that there would be no second time, and it would not be so good luck every time, such a big thing happened, you really rest assured that he lives outside the palace?" ”

The Queen Mother's brows furrowed when she heard this, she really didn't worry about King Anjun living outside the palace again, but he moved back to the palace, how could this work?

The princes in the palace, after getting married, will be crowned kings, and then move out of the palace.

The emperor also gave him a marriage, and she had already instructed Qin Tianjian yesterday to pick a good day and move back to the palace, but I was afraid that she would not be able to live for a few days.

The Queen Mother shook her head, "Moving back to the palace and living with the princes, it won't be able to live for a few days, it's not a long-term solution, go back and let the grandfather send more people to King Anjun, be sure to make sure he is thorough." ”

Concubine Ning was a little anxious when she heard this, why didn't the Queen Mother understand what she meant, she didn't let King Anjun enter the palace to live with the princes, she wanted King Anjun to live in the East Palace!

The Queen Mother didn't understand, so Concubine Ning had to make her words clear.

She thought that the Queen Mother would approve of her, but the Queen Mother scolded her, and she was very harsh, "Nonsense! The East Palace is the sleeping palace of the prince, and it has been held in all dynasties. Can you see that any prince lived in before he was canonized as a prince?! You let the mourning family find the emperor and let the king of Anjun move to live in the East Palace, you might as well let the mourning family directly let the emperor make the king of Anjun the crown prince. And rightly so! ”

The Queen Mother suddenly became angry, and Concubine Ning was a little overwhelmed for a while.

She said in fear, "I just think that sooner or later King Anjun will be made the prince, and the East Palace is his residence, so instead of being frightened outside the palace, it is better to move ......in as early as possible." ”

The Queen Mother knew that she cared about King Anjun, but there was a saying. Calling for concern is chaos, she said, "Now King An's mansion is burning." The Northern Jin Dynasty is the most suspicious, but if King Anjun takes this opportunity to move to the East Palace, I am afraid that many people will think that King An's Mansion was burned by himself! ”

If you burn down a palace, you can live in the East Palace. I'm afraid that all the princes of Kyoto will not hesitate to burn down the palace.

Concubine Ning's back sank. Why does the Queen Mother's words sound like she suspects that King An's Mansion was burned by King Anjun himself?

But the Queen Mother is worried, but it is also reasonable, King An's Mansion was burned, everyone sympathizes with King Anjun, but if he takes the opportunity to move to the East Palace, everyone will not sympathize with him, but be jealous.

Jealousy in the heart. Then there will be any kind of speculation.

But such a good opportunity is because of many concerns. It's a shame to miss it in vain.

I was not at ease, but Concubine Ning didn't say anything more.

The Queen Mother picked up the teacup, gently stirred with it, and asked casually, "King Ning's Mansion is on fire, Princess Ning and Lord Ruoyao are not frightened, right?" ”

Concubine Ning was a little stunned, so decent, how could the Queen Mother care about them, she replied, "There are secret guards sent by the emperor to protect them, how can something happen?" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said, "What about King Ning, he has been away from Beijing for a long time, and you didn't write a letter to him?" ”

Concubine Ning shook her head, "The prince was ordered to run an errand, and the emperor sent him a message, all of which were eight hundred miles in an emergency, how dare I let them bring a letter to the prince?" ”

The Queen Mother laughed when she heard this.

It is said that the mother of the child is worried, when the emperor was fighting at the border, whether it was 600 miles or 800 miles, she would always write the letter and send it to the imperial study, so that the emperor would remember to let people take it to the emperor by the way.

If you don't have a letter from home, it's not much heavier than a goose feather, and what can you do, it's just unintentional.

The queen mother felt that she was getting more and more strange, the eldest princess lived with her for a while, **** mentioned King Ning in front of her, and the things they played together when they were young, she felt more and more amiable about King Ning.

In the past, when King Ning left Beijing, she only occasionally thought of him.

Now, she is often remembered.

Especially yesterday, the emperor asked people to send a letter to King Ning in an urgent way for 800 miles, and she couldn't wait for him to bring a letter to his family, the same mood as when the emperor was fighting at the border pass.

King Ning is the biological son of the concubine, he has been to the Northern Jin Dynasty for so long, he has not seen her care, King An's mansion was burned, and she herself was frightened, but she came to her for King Anjun.

With such a difference, it's no wonder that Qingyun suspects that King Ning is not her own, but picked it up.

There is also the eldest princess who asked her to speak, "Queen Mother, do you say that the concubine loves the second prince's brother, or doesn't hurt him, she can understand current affairs, in order to keep the second prince's brother, she is willing to give up the position of the emperor's eldest son, and be a prince in peace, but she has been cold to the second prince's brother since she was a child, and has never praised him, but she is full of praise for the prince, the concubine has always liked the prince, loves the house and Wu likes the king of Anjun, to be honest, the queen mother, the daughter thinks the second prince brother is pitiful, you didn't see him when he was a child, he was wronged and hid in the rockery and cried, crying my heart is broken, I have never seen a mother as ruthless as a concubine, my daughter has not liked concubines since she was a child, because her daughter feels that she can be so ruthless to her own son, it is definitely not a good kind, the queen mother does not believe it, you can test one or two. ”

The eldest princess could still be heard talking in her ears, the queen mother felt a little chill down her spine, her eyes flashed, she looked at Concubine Ning and said, "Sometimes, the mourning family thinks that what is the purpose of such a dedication, people can't be resurrected after death, just like you did at the beginning, let King Ning give up the position of the eldest son of the emperor, be a prince in peace, and enjoy endless glory and wealth, why put such a heavy burden on An'er's shoulders?" ”

Concubine Ning was drinking tea, and suddenly heard what the Queen Mother said, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked directly at the Queen Mother.

The eyes were a little cold, and the Queen Mother frowned a little.

Concubine Ning reacted, quickly put down the teacup and said, "Queen Mother, we have come to this day to take a step, there is no turning back, if you give up, King Anjun and the Xingguo Mansion will only have a dead end." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Ning and said, "The mourning family understands the emperor, if you give up at this time, the emperor will ensure that the Xingguo Mansion and the King of Anjun are safe and sound." ”

Concubine Ning was a little anxious, she could see that the Queen Mother was not joking, she really flinched, she said, "The emperor can guarantee it, but what about King Chen, King Anjun has a grudge against him for killing his brother!" (To be continued.) )
