373 Concubines

The emperor quickly issued an order, the Zheng family severely punished, the Zheng family has died, the crimes are extremely heinous, the corpses are found and beheaded, the rest are still alive, the men are beheaded, the women are used as official slaves, and they are allowed to be ransomed. Zheng Kang was pardoned and spared death.

Zhao Lixian has a pair of children, and her son was beheaded, leaving a five-year-old daughter. Both of them were official slaves, and it was the Zhao family who sent someone to Jiaozhou early, ransomed them, and took them back to the capital.

Old Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Yanran are a little miserable, the Zheng family actually has many daughters who have married out, but unfortunately these people are difficult to protect themselves at this time, where can they still have the kung fu to save them. In the past, when the Zheng family had no accidents, these daughters were all beautiful and decent in their husband's family, and the people in their husband's family did not dare to treat them slowly. Now that the Zheng family has not only had an accident, but also made a notorious trouble, the Zheng family's married daughters are in a miserable situation.

Those who have good morals and love husband and wife are better, although the in-laws are in their hearts, they will not directly give people a break. But there are still a lot of domineering personalities, when the Zheng family didn't have an accident, they were always offered in the husband's family, even if there was not, the husband's family dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, now that the Zheng family has such a big thing, where does the husband's family still give them a good look? directly looked for the reason and gave the letter of resignation, and directly threw it out.

Almost all of these divorced are the daughters of the Zheng family, and five of them are the biological daughters of Mrs. Zheng, all of whom are domineering, so they are naturally not liked by their husbands. On the contrary, many of those who were not divorced were the concubines of the Zheng family. Because these women are concubines, they have no status in the Zheng family, and they have been living cautiously and tremblingly. When he arrived at his husband's house, he didn't dare to rely on the Zheng family's power to show off his might, and the husband's family was naturally more satisfied.

But. Things are not absolute, and there are also the daughters of the Zheng family who have not been abandoned. The concubine was driven out by withholding her dowry.

The daughters of the Zheng family, who were driven out by their husband's family, have no place to go, and those who have not been divorced are also trembling, who would dare to get involved in the disaster of the Zheng family? Naturally, no one came to ransom Mrs. Zheng and Zheng Yanran.

Old Madam Zheng had already suffered a stroke, and later was forcibly read through her memories by the Duke of Honor, and her body was greatly damaged. Plus the addiction of loose dissipation. It's only been a day since she was imprisoned, and Xiaoyaosan's addiction has recurred, but this time no one gave her Xiaoyaosan, which tossed Mrs. Zheng enough, it's like ten thousand ants eroding her heart!

Zheng Yanran also fell well, her addiction was also committed from time to time, and she did not take it freely, she struggled and screamed as soon as she became addicted, and then the jailer had to find a thick rope to tie her up.

Nearly a month in prison. When Mrs. Zheng was released, she was already out of breath and inlet in less, and she lost her breath in less than half a day. Zheng Yanran was lucky enough to quit Xiaoyaosan and was bought by a merchant to be a concubine.

The merchant is not a bad person, but he is greedy for money. I took a fancy to Zheng Yanran's beauty and bought her back. And he thought that Zheng Yanran used to be everyone's young lady after all, and he treated Zheng Yanran very well. It's just that in less than a month, he can't stand Zheng Yanran's eldest lady's temper.

What's even more infuriating. A month after Zheng Yanran was bought, she was happy. The merchant was quite happy and decided to endure Zheng Yanran's temper any longer. How do you know that as soon as the doctor calculates the time, the child is not his at all!

So, he thought of the thing that had been rumored before, about a young lady from a big family and a young master. Although this matter was spread at the beginning, the Zheng family was powerful at that time, and no one dared to directly say that it was the Zheng family, and the merchants naturally did not know.

Later, the Zheng family suffered from the seedlings, and someone took out this matter again, directly mentioning the Zheng family, and even mentioning the ninth miss of the Zheng family and the fifth young master, and the ninth miss of the Zheng family is Zheng Yanran!

The merchant actually heard this rumor, but he was favoring Zheng Yanran at that time, so he naturally subconsciously didn't want to believe it, until the doctor calculated the time when Zheng Yanran was pregnant, and the merchant calculated in his heart that it was the rumor that Miss Zheng Jiajiu and the fifth young master had an accident!

He was so angry that his face turned blue, and after sending the doctor away, he tied up Zheng Yanran and beat her severely, and poured her abortion pills to leak out the fetus in her belly.

However, he was still reluctant to give up Zheng Yanran's beauty, and then asked the doctor to give her medicine, but he was no longer as tolerant of her as before. Zheng Yanran was raised from a young age, where could she stand such anger? Usually it is indispensable to lose her temper with the merchants, and after coming and going, Zheng Yanran will soon get old, and the color is no longer as good as when she first met.

After that, the merchant accepted a beautiful concubine, and the beautiful concubine knew how to be gentle and gentle, and the merchant was completely disgusted with Zheng Yanran.

These things are not Shang Jinxiu and An Donghua's concern. What they care about at this time is a new will of the emperor, canonizing Zhao Liya, the youngest daughter of the Zhao family, as a concubine. At this time, in addition to Concubine Yun Gui in the palace, there are also four virtuous and virtuous concubines, and there are Zhaoyi beauties below, etc., but now, the emperor has canonized a 'concubine', if no one cares, it is impossible.

However, this 'Yafei' is a woman of the Zhao family again, and Yun Guifei is an aunt and nephew! What's even more concerning is that it was rumored a long time ago that Zhao Liya was the future second prince and concubine! Who knows, but the emperor intervened sideways and directly canonized her as 'Concubine Ya'!

Just because of this, many people are talking about it in private, but these people don't know that this 'concubine' almost became a 'successor'!

When the emperor first came up with his intentions, he wanted to directly canonize Zhao Liya as the 'successor', at that time he already knew that Empress Xin was killed by Yun Guifei, how could it be that the power of the Zhao family and the second prince was already beyond his imagination, even if the emperor knew that it was Yun Guifei's poisonous hand, he did not dare to act rashly.

He wanted to teach Yun Guifei a cruel lesson, so impulsively, he had a plan for Concubine Zhao Liya to be the 'successor', so that Yun Guifei's calculations would be all in vain. In addition, Zhao Liya is also a member of the Zhao family, and this holy decree can make the head of the Zhao family and the second prince have a disagreement.

After all, Yun Guifei is just his sister, but Zhao Liya is his biological daughter!

However, after the emperor sobered up, he didn't want to canonize Zhao Liya as the 'successor', he didn't want to cheapen the Zhao family. And it just so happened that not long ago, the matter of the Zheng family came out, and he couldn't help but think of Anton Hua and the dead Empress Xin, but at night, he actually dreamed of Queen Xin!

He dreamed of a scene from a long time ago, when Empress Xin and he were still very young, and the two had mutual affection, and he had sworn to Queen Xin that he would keep the Xin family rich and prosperous, and that he would grow old with her.

In this dream, the emperor felt more and more indebted to Empress Xin, and his thoughts were completely lightened. So, there was such a holy decree to seal the concubine.

As soon as the decree came out, the courtiers couldn't react. The most unwilling to accept it are naturally the Zhao family, the second prince and Yun Guifei! The Zhao family has long invested all their wealth in the second prince, and even Zhao Liya was raised according to the queen's standards, just so that she would become the concubine of the second prince Anton Li in the future, and even become the queen in the end!

The emperor's hand completely interrupted their arrangement! As long as Zhao Liya marries the second prince and becomes the second prince's concubine, when the second prince ascends the throne, she will be the rightful queen, isn't it much better than the identity of a 'concubine'?

The second prince was even more dissatisfied, and deeply felt that the emperor had given him a green hat! Because of his relationship with the Zhao family, he had long identified Zhao Liya, almost watched her grow up, and was extremely satisfied with her.

Yun Guifei also couldn't bear this breath, she had been working hard for so many years, she had been pressed by Queen Xin at the beginning, she had been wronged, and finally brought down Queen Xin and became a concubine, so she was counting on when she could become the queen, who knew that the emperor would go down and recruit her niece into the palace!

Originally, she was extremely satisfied with Zhao Liya and felt that she was very worthy of her son, but now that the holy decree has made Zhao Liya become 'Concubine Ya', Yun Guifei's heart suddenly responded, and when she looked at Zhao Liya again, she felt that she was not pleasing anywhere, she was simply a vixen!

Just for this matter, the second prince couldn't wait to force the palace directly, but the time was not ripe! Originally, the Zheng family was the help of the Zhao family, the Zheng family had an iron mine, and they had privately made many blades, plus the army of Jiaozhou, these would be sharp weapons in the hands of the second prince, but as soon as the Zheng family collapsed, those secretly cast blades, as well as the army of Jiaozhou, naturally could not fall into the hands of the second prince Anton Li and the Zhao family.

They also colluded with other people, but they were not fully prepared, if they forced the palace, even if they succeeded, they would be greatly injured, and if Anton Hua raised troops from Jiaozhou, the shape would be extremely unfavorable to them!

What's more, forcing the palace will always make people feel that the name is not right, they have been preparing for so long, how can they give up so lightly?

The second prince locked himself in his study and thought about it all night, and then, he finally made a decision. The next day, he found a way to meet Zhao Liya secretly.

When he saw Zhao Liya, Zhao Liya's eyes were swollen from crying, and she cried and threw herself into his arms when she saw him. The second prince looked at her, and his heart softened a little.

Zhao Liya cried: "Brother Dongli, Ya'er doesn't want to be a concubine in the palace, Ya'er just wants to be your wife, you take Ya'er away, let's ...... Shall we go to a place where no one knows us? ”

When Anton Li heard this, his face sank, and his heart gradually hardened. He thought that Zhao Liya understood him, but now he realized that it was his wishful thinking. Sure enough, women have long hair and short knowledge! What he wants is the supreme position, the beauty of the country, where can he let go of this qiē for the sake of his children's private feelings? (To be continued......)
