Chapter 191: King Duan's Restlessness
Xu Guifei whimpered and said: "Your Majesty, you can hear clearly, Concubine Qian, she kidnapped the concubines without permission, and she didn't say anything about the torture, so she came to humiliate the concubines and frame King Duan." Your Majesty, Concubine Qian is too much! β
This crazy! Her son's affairs are obviously unlucky, what does it have to do with Ning'an Palace?
Concubine Qian sneered: "Don't worry, Concubine Niangniang." β
The father-in-law said again: "Later, Mama Gui recruited again, and the cheap maid who offended Prince Ping was arranged by her to Jinglan Palace after she went the way." β
Xu Guifei held her breath, how could it be? She and Concubine Qian are not well known, how could Mama Gui, as her confidant, arrange people to Jinglan Palace? Could it really be that Mama Gui just wants to stick a nail? It is possible that it is the job of these henchmen to open up contacts and install nails in the palace for their masters, and they basically don't have to report back to their masters.
Xu Guifei didn't know whether to laugh or cry in her heart, that little palace maid was too capable, and King Ping, who had not been brought down by her mother and son for all these years, was ended by her mouth.
But, was it arranged by Mama Gui?
When King Duan heard this, he immediately looked at Concubine Xu, and when he saw the change in her eyes, he couldn't help but guess, is it true?
Absolutely cannot admit it!
"Father, Mama Gui has been tortured several times, if she is delirious, how can she be credulous when she says something? The son begged his father to investigate the matter vigorously. When King Ping heard about it, his sons wept bitterly when they heard it, and they couldn't wait to avenge their younger brother with their own hands. If the instigator behind it can be found, the retainers will definitely eat it alive. β
Concubine Qian snorted coldly: "You want to eat your mother?" β
Duan Wang choked.
Xu Guifei frowned and shouted: "Concubine Qian, this matter has nothing to do with this palace. Don't be cranky. King Ping is the blood of the emperor, the palace is in charge of the harem, and he has the responsibility of taking care of the prince, how can he know the law and break the law and offend the royal family. Your Majesty, the concubines implore the emperor to thoroughly investigate the matter and return the concubines to innocence. β
Xu Guifei knelt down and spoke loudly. Of course, she was sure that she had nothing to do with this matter, even if Mama Gui was involved, but she had already been taken away by Concubine Qian and tortured, and the credibility of what she said was naturally greatly reduced. And Mama Gui didn't admit it. This matter has nothing to do with King Duan, the mother and son have already talked to each other. It was the first time that Xu Guifei was so calm from the heart.
King Duan also knelt down, thinking the same as his mother's concubine. If it were anything else, he wouldn't be able to get away with it. But he absolutely did not know about this matter and had nothing to do with it.
Concubine Qian heard that her mother and son were so resolute, and her eyes turned red again: "The concubine is still able to pretend as always." β
Xu Guifei also had red eyes, and said sharply: "This palace is sad that you have suffered a great change, so I don't care about you." Otherwise, according to the rules, you bumped into the concubine, abused lynching, and humiliated the prince, and the palace in charge of the phoenix seal still can't cure your crime? β
Concubine Qian smiled arrogantly, her tear-drenched face was a little thin but still bright: "Oh? The palace acted like this in front of the emperor, and the men in the palace didn't say anything? Xu, what are you clamoring for? β
Xu Guifei was so angry that her chest hurt and she trembled. She is the first person in the harem, and Concubine Qian, a slut, dares to call herself "Bengong" to her, and calls her by her maiden name, do you really think she is easy to bully?
"Your Majesty," Xu Guifei looked at the emperor with resentment: "Concubine Qian is too deceitful." β
The emperor looked at Concubine Qian: "You really forgot the rules of the body, and punished you for copying the Heart Sutra fifty times behind closed doors for three months." β
Concubine Qian immediately saluted: "The concubine obeys the order." β
Xu Guifei is so angry, is this a punishment? Is this a punishment? A burst of coolness welled up in his heart, this man has never had himself in his heart, right? Even this vulgar and coppery woman is more interested in herself than herself, right?
King Duan walked a few steps on his knees, stepped forward to support Xu Guifei, and said coldly: "Father, this punishment is inevitably too light, right?" β
was angry in his heart, and seeing that his mother was wronged, King Duan couldn't help but be a little tough in his words.
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at him coldly, you are the only one, so you will no longer pretend? Your usual filial piety and respect are all gone?
"Punishment or not, how to punish, it's not Duanwang's turn to interject? How? Recently, the Duanwang who has been the sole leader also wants to rule the imperial palace? β
These words were too damning, King Duan's heart tightened, and he kowtowed again and again and said in fear: "Erchen doesn't dare, Erchen doesn't dare..."
"Don't you dare? What else do you dare not dare to do?! β
The emperor raised his voice suddenly, stern and ruthless: "What Concubine Qian said is indeed suspicious. Duan Wangβ"
King Duan's legs trembled because of the emperor's sudden condensation aura, and he heard the emperor's call without a follow-up, and raised his head in a cold sweat.
He met the emperor's cold and ruthless gaze: "If it is found out that this matter is related to you, you will go to guard the emperor's mausoleum." β
With a "hum", Duanwang's brain exploded, and his whole body trembled as if he had fallen into an ice cave, the old man was really ruthless!
"Your Majestyβ" Xu Guifei snorted sadly.
Concubine Qian was also shocked by the emperor's words, she wanted to make the king unlucky, but she didn't expect the emperor to say so... Concubine Qian also felt cold.
King Duan gritted his teeth and said: "Father, please investigate thoroughly, this matter has nothing to do with the son, otherwise, the son-in-law is willing to go to the imperial tomb to fulfill his filial piety." β
Xu Guifei clenched her back teeth and looked at King Duan with teary eyes.
The Emperor looked at him deeply, got up and walked out.
Concubine Qian followed behind without knowing what it was like.
The emperor walked out of Ning'an Palace and said impatiently: "Don't fool around all day long, I listened to King Ping beating people crazy in the mansion again?" β
Concubine Qian immediately bowed her head and said, "The emperor is too..."
The emperor raised his voice: "He caused the trouble, who can he blame?" Don't meddle in the thorough investigation, you will kidnap people to extract confessions, when you are the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department? They're not as bold as you! β
Concubine Qian knelt down.
"Go back and ground!"
The emperor left mercilessly, Concubine Qian smiled bitterly and got up, knowing that the emperor's anger towards King Duan was not for his mother and son, and all these years of hard work were in vain, right?
The emperor returned to the imperial palace and sat on the dragon chair in silence and depression, without saying a word for a long time.
The chief manager did not dare to speak at this time, and stood aside in silence and did not dare to come out.
After a long time, the emperor spoke, as if he was ten years old: "Go down, let me be quiet." β
The chief steward bowed and retreated, closing the door.
The emperor tiredly propped his arm on the desk and pinched the base of his nose.
"This little bastard..."
King Duan returned home in despair, with his years of study and pondering of the emperor, he knew that the words of being punished to guard the emperor's mausoleum were not fake, King Duan was resentful and afraid in his heart, how could the old man be willing?
asked Taishi Xu to come and narrate the scene in the palace, and King Duan poured a cup of stuffy wine: "Hehe, there are only two sons alive, one is no different from a wasted person, and it will never be a treasure." The other, he still wants to toss to go to the tomb? Hehe, the old man has a really big heart. He wanted to give up such a big family business to outsiders..."
King Duan was depressed in his heart, the outsiders in his mouth were not foreign surnames, but referring to the side branches of the royal family, which emperor was so generous? Unless the offspring is cut off.
Xu Taishi stroked his beard and was silent: "After all, King Ping's injury this time is really ... It's unbelievable, if the emperor really thinks it's your hand... I can't solve it in my heart..."
This method is too insidious, too obscene, and too unsightly, and the emperor can't look good on his face or in his heart.
King Duan poured another cup and said angrily: "This king has said it, this matter has nothing to do with this king, the old man just doesn't believe it." β
Taishi Xu nodded and stabbed: "Change places, if you are the emperor, do you believe it?" β
King Duan was suddenly depressed, and wanted to cry without tears: "It really has nothing to do with me." Which little rabbit did it, and it hacked the king. β
Taishi Xu was also speechless, and thought for a long time and said, "Maybe no one instructs." β
"Huh?" King Duan didn't believe it.
"Do you remember the staff around King Ping, there is a staff named Mr. Lu?"
King Duan thought for a moment and said, "Remember, didn't my grandfather say that this person is quite talented?" It's a few stumbling blocks for us. What's wrong? β
"He's dead."
"Huh?" Duan Wang was surprised.
Xu Taishi was puzzled: "It seems that it is the same sunrise as King Ping." A few days after the accident, his body was found in the river. It is estimated that the time of death is that day. The whole person died in a terrifying state, he was beaten to death by someone alive, and he could still recognize the appearance with only one face, and there was no good skin on his body. β
Duan Wang gasped: "This is definitely not what our people did. β
He was wronged by the emperor, and he subconsciously wanted to get rid of it.
Taishi Xu looked at him and sighed: "Eighty percent of it was his own trouble." β
King Duan asked, "What do you mean by that?" β
"It was also later that some news was sent by the nails of Duanwangfu. That Mr. Lu actually has some perverted hobbies in the affairs of men and women, and has recruited many beautiful women, all of whom are young girls. He likes to do the flogging of fish and water when he is happy. β
King Duan understood: "This is someone who has come to take revenge." But what does it have to do with King Ping? β
Taishi Xu said with a strange expression: "His male root was cut off whole and stuffed into his mouth. β
King Duan is also weird, how does it sound a little similar to what happened to King Ping?
Also, Mr. Lu also taught King Ping his hedonistic methods, and gave him a young daughter. It's not necessarily that the little palace maid can't stand it, but..."
King Duan suddenly made up for a bloody weak woman who was whipped, serving King Ping in humiliation and anger, and one couldn't help it, two rows of white teeth, rattling...
Duan Wang shook his head, fortunately, this king is just an "ordinary person"...
Xu Taishi said: "It's just that on the same day, it can't help but be a little strange." That Mr. Lu went out of the Pingwang Mansion to his private house to have fun, could it be that those women had made an appointment in advance? β
It's possible, but it doesn't feel right.
Duan Wang said: "Women are really terrible. Didn't an emperor in the previous dynasty be strangled to death by the palace maids? It is also because he takes pleasure in torturing palace maids. β
Taishi Xu couldn't think of why, so he simply didn't want to, and looked at King Duan and said meaningfully: "So, you can't mess with the red face and trouble." β
King Duan was uncomfortable with him, and subconsciously remembered Su Su's incident, but his own incident can't be compared with King Ping's bad things at all, right?
King Duan mentioned something else: "Grandfather, this king is not joking when he looks at his father, he... Is it serious? β
King Duan earnestly hoped that Xu Taishi shook his head and smiled and said that he was too worried, but Xu Taishi did not speak, and his brows were furrowed even tighter.
"It's... Earnest? β
Duanwang's voice trembled in disbelief: "How is it possible? β
Taishi Xu is not very sure, but it is always good to be cautious.
"Do you remember the 'Double Dragon Rebellion' in my dynasty?"
King Duan sighed in his heart, how could he forget the unprecedented turmoil?
"It was the emperor's grandson who inherited the throne later..."
Duanwang spoke: "But that's a special situation, the prince is dead, just..."
Xu Taishi said solemnly: "But there is no reason why the new emperor of the emperor's grandson is talented and intelligent, and he is deeply favored by the emperor. Nowadays, not counting the concubines, there are seven or eight serious royal grandchildren..."
Although the princes have passed away one after another for various reasons, the number of grandchildren left behind is still objective. Speaking of King Ping alone, in the number of serious royal grandsons, he has contributed two, and he is expected to contribute another one, and the eldest one is already more than ten years old. The eldest prince left two sons-in-law and passed away, the fifth prince died young, and the sixth prince died less than twenty, but one a year after the wedding, leaving three sons-in-law. The Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince died before they were minors.
The emperor's heirs are quite abundant, but the survival rate is too low, and it's hard to say if there is anything greasy in it.
Therefore, there are seven surviving emperors and grandchildren, and two will be born. There is no shortage of the wise, the clever, and the witty of the seven.
King Duan was deeply cold, and he still had to fight with his nephews? Can you still live?
Master Xu didn't want to pay attention to his speculation, but-
"The emperor is even more moody this yearβ"
Therefore, doing things is even more unreliable.
Duanwang couldn't help but touch his knees, didn't he? I was punished for kneeling several times, which was something I had never done before.
King Duan was depressed, did this king want to kill his little nephews one by one?
Taishi Xu saw what he was thinking, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Continue to forbear..."
In other words, continue to be a man with your tail between your legs.
"How long will it take..."
Xu Taishi suddenly said: "If the imperial grandson born by the princess is far ahead among the imperial grandchildren..."
Duanwang tears, that can only be seen after the child reads, right? How young are you? I'm really going to be a dog!
Endure humiliation, endure the word, endure the unbearable, and endure it from the beginning.
King Duan poured another glass of wine, and said sadly: "This king arranged for someone to read poetry to the princess every day in the morning..."
The starting point must be high!
Master Xu nodded in agreement, and said, "Quantity is also very important." "You don't even have a son-in-law at the moment.
King Duan thought for a moment and said, "Wait until the princess has a child in her belly." If it is really a boy and he is healthy, everyone else will stop there, and the concubine and the concubine should be born. β
"The little county lord is there, and the prince will also visit more."
Duanwang's only daughter, the concubine left by the original princess, was often taken into the palace by Xu Guifei when she was still an infant, and basically took the palace as her home, and only returned to the palace to visit during the New Year's holidays.
King Duan nodded, this is natural, he is a loving father. (To be continued.) )
