953 Degraded
From now on, she must also stay away from Concubine Hua, only in this way can she save her life.
The new emperor returned from the Kangning Palace, and there was still a person kneeling in front of the palace gate.
When Concubine Hua saw him returning, she exclaimed, "Your Majesty", and her former nobility was swept away, and she crawled over like a dog: "Your Majesty, my father was framed!" He didn't fornicate with the traitorous party, he didn't send silver to the traitorous party! ”
The new emperor frowned slightly. The chief manager bowed his head, and what the new emperor liked was the temperament of the princess on the left shoulder, rich and noble, poor and unyielding, always with a proud backbone, but with his own meekness.
Concubine Hua hugged the emperor's legs, "You believe in the concubine, he didn't!" He really didn't! ”
The new emperor shouted "let go" in a low voice.
Concubine Hua was at a loss, she knelt for so long, just to see him, "Your Majesty, you and the concubine are husband and wife, the concubine begs you, let go of the concubine's father and brother's family, let go of ......"
"Shut up! If there is no conclusive evidence, do you think I am willing to deal with the Lei family? ”
"Those evidences are all framed by traitors, and that is the framed ......"
The new emperor looked solemn and ordered: "Go back to Chonghua Palace!" ”
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Hua shouted urgently, "You save my father and brother, they are loyal to the emperor and the court, the emperor ......"
As he was talking, a sharp voice came from not far away: "Concubine Hua, don't be pampered and arrogant, according to the rules of my court, the concubine is not allowed to interfere in politics, and she will not go back to the palace!" It was the Queen Mother who was surrounded by everyone who spoke, her face was solemn, she was dressed in a plain navy blue phoenix robe, and there was no warmth in her expression, "Your Majesty, you didn't have any affection for the Shu family in the past." Could it be that Concubine Hua is more important than the mourning family? ”
The Queen Mother wants to take a look. If the new emperor lets the Lei family go. She was able to ask the new emperor to forgive the Shu family's sins.
Before the first emperor died, he was most worried about the queen mother's power, the dictatorship of foreign relatives, so he left an edict to supervise the queen mother, if the queen mother was involved in politics, the hundred officials could be impeached, and the queen mother could be forced to practice in Ganlin Temple to pray for blessings.
The new emperor raised his head. Since the Lei family is going to be moved, Concubine Hua has become an abandoned son in the palace. Now she has repeatedly disobeyed her will, and has refused to leave, and there are two of one, but there can be no more three. "Concubine Hua is pampered and arrogant, and she has no ancestral family law, so she is reduced to a concubine."
Concubine Hua was stunned, he wanted to demote her, and screamed, "Your Majesty!" "It was almost heartbreaking, and my hands were loosened. The new emperor walked past her.
The lingering and affectionate love of the past is just a spring dream.
"Ha Lu, Ha ......," she laughed, looking up to the sky.
The Queen Mother said sharply: "Don't take her back to the palace yet." From now on, she will be grounded for three months, and she will not be allowed to take another half step in Chonghua Palace, otherwise the mourning family will ask the people of Chonghua Palace for guilt! ”
The palace ladies and eunuchs on one side were so frightened that Concubine Hua, who was still beautiful yesterday, was demoted to Concubine Hua because she angered the emperor and made the Queen Mother dissatisfied.
Although she is still a mother, she is no longer a concubine in a high position.
On the 10th day of September, the father and son of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion Lei Yan were sent to the edict and awaiting arraignment.
The people couldn't help but talk about it, these few right-handed people were imprisoned one after another, but I am afraid that ordinary people can sit down.

September 11, Chengxi Caishikou.
There was a woman in a cloth dress in the crowd, dressed fairly clean, carrying a basket with food and wine in her hand, and was begging the official: "Brother official, I beg you, let me toast the elders!" ”
The official coldly swept over the rows of kneeling people at the entrance of the huge vegetable market, "Elders? Who are your elders? Each person was dressed in a prison uniform with the word "prisoner" written on it, and a sign on his back was written on his or her own punishment and his name.
The woman was afraid that someone would associate her with the court criminals, so she hurriedly said, "That...... Earlier, the slut had been a maid in his house, and she had received his favor and wanted to send him some wine and food to eat. ”
The official followed the direction of her finger, and saw that it was a thin old man, with messy and gray hair, and a sign on his back that read "Hu Changling, a death row prisoner", "He, go!" ”
Hu Xiangling carried the basket and quickly approached Hu Changling, where is still her father, who has already been skinny and skinny, and has been in prison for more than half a year.
Hu Changling's eyes were dizzy, and he wanted to see the woman in front of him, but he could only see a vague shadow, and the bright sunlight sprinkled overhead, surrounded by people who were black and pressed to look at the strange.
Hu Xiangling's tears slid down. "Master, I'm Xiangling, I'm Xiangling!"
If it weren't for Hu Xiangju being Yu Wencong's favorite wife, how could the Hu family have been so devastated, her father had to die, her brother had to die, even although she had a husband, she was really a secret prostitute, and she was forced to pick up customers every day, and if she didn't obey, he would fight each other, but she still wanted to live, find Cao Yuzhen alive, and wanted to ask him to understand: Did he ever like her?
Hu Changling said, "It's you......" and wanted to see the person in front of him, "Where have you been for so long?" ”
"I ......" wanted to talk about her suffering, but thinking that Hu Changling was about to be killed, why let him know his suffering, "After Cao Gongzi left, the child was gone, and I found a mountain village husband to marry." Although he was an ordinary person, he treated me well, and gave me some money and asked me to prepare some food and drinks for you......"
Hu Changling let out an "oh", "Live a good life...... has never spoken to Hu Xiangling like this, low, attentive, and affectionate words of a father.
Hu Xiangling burst into tears, "I'll feed you something, even if you die, you will be a full ghost!" ”
On the side, Uncle Cao was scolding: "Cao Yuzhen, you bastard!" You love Ronghua, what kind of county horse do you want to be, but you hurt us in vain, Lao Tzu will not let you go even if he is a ghost, I will never let you go......"
Until now, the Cao family didn't know what to do, Yuwencong released such a rumor, originally to use the hand of the new emperor to avenge Cui Congshan, but it was just a rumor, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military firmly believed that Cao Yuzhen voted for Yuwencong, which was really a "chaotic party".
Hu Xiangling looked up, Uncle Cao, Master Cao, Master Cao, and the patriarch of the Cao family were also among them. But those who committed minor crimes had already been assigned to the border cities in the morning, and the rest were Qin criminals sentenced to death.
Hu Changling sighed lightly, "Alas, fortunately, you broke off with him again." Otherwise he will also tire you to be killed. ”
The Hu family married Yu Wencong because of Hu Xiangju. He also searched out the family letters with Hu Xiangju from his home. Because Hu Xiangju was Yu Wencong's concubine, she was convicted of betraying the party.
Hu Changling hadn't seen Hu Xiangju for a long time, and he actually disappeared with Yu Wencong.
He ate fragrant meat dishes, and Hu Xiangling fed him wine, "Master drink more, he will sleep when he is drunk, and he will not be in pain...... "Feed him a few mouthfuls of meat, and feed him a bowl of wine." Soon, the three bowls of wine went down, Hu Changling's dry face was flushed, and Hu Xiangling poured most of the bowls.
The official said sharply: "You can leave!" ”
Hu Xiangling said: "Brother Guancha, I'll feed him half a bowl of wine, just half a bowl of wine!" As he spoke, he fed half a bowl to Hu Changling and drank.
Hu Changling only had three bowls of wine, and he was drunk as soon as he passed, he knelt at the entrance of the Western vegetable market in a daze, and the autumn sun was not as hot as the summer day.
Uncle Cao was scolding, and Master Cao San also scolded Cao Yuzhen loudly. Because they were Cao Yuzhen's eldest brother and uncle, they were also implicated. became a death row prisoner, and even the patriarch of the Cao clan had to sit guilty.
The Cao family, the eight families of the imperial city at the beginning of the founding of the country, has now disappeared from the imperial city.
The Han family still has Wei Yuan and Han Ji's family, but Han Ji is also cautious, for fear of getting into trouble again.
Hu Xiangling returned to the crowd and saw King Chen, Gu Lixing, and Bai Daqian sitting in the tent, and an official who watched the figure reported loudly: "It's three o'clock in the afternoon!" ”
Qinghou suddenly shouted, "Benhou is a royal family, a royal family...... You can't behead the people like the people......"
Bai Daqian said with a smile: "Your Excellency forgot, as early as more than a month ago, he was demoted to a concubine and is no longer a royal family. He turned to King Chen and said, "Lord Chen, it's time to be executed!" ”
Chen Wang grabbed the token and shouted "Execution!" "The card fell, and the executioner raised his broadsword.
Hu Xiangling turned his head, and a voice came from behind him, familiar, but with a strangeness, "Are you Xiangling?" Are you Xiangling? ”
It was a man in a coarse cloth robe, his face was hideous, his face was scarred, like burns, like whiplashes, and the healed scars were like worms, coiling on his face, how terrifying it was, even the eyes, one big and the other small.
Hu Xiangling said "ah-" and turned his head and ran.
The man made his way through the crowd and followed closely behind, "Hu Xiangling! You slut, stand for me! Dead Star! If it weren't for you, our Cao family wouldn't be like this, you can stop me quickly......"
She ran ahead, afraid to face the scene of her father being beheaded.
The man is still chasing after him.
A few streets away, the man was still there.
Hu Xiangling was about to approach the door, and suddenly a man with a meaty face suddenly appeared, and was about to drag her, only to see an ugly and scary man chasing after her, "Okay! Good! Recently, I have been obedient, and I know how to hook a man outside, whether it is beautiful or ugly, as long as he has the silver to give! ”
Hu Xiangling pulled the meat man, "I don't know him!" ”
"I don't know, he's still chasing you?" The man with a cross-faced face grabbed a stick, "If you want to play with her, you have to give money, it's not expensive, two hundred lines for one night, fifty lines for once, what, are you rich?" ”
The hideous man was stunned for a moment, looking at Hu Xiangling, who was still a little bit beautiful, no longer wearing silk and satin clothes, but ordinary cloth clothes, the color was decent, it was light blue, dyed with white flowers, and she was more and more beautiful and delicate.
"Wang Laigou!" Outside the door, a man's voice came, smiling, holding two strings of copper coins in his hand, "Did your woman come back, Lao Tzu finally scraped together two hundred yuan to take care of your family's business!" ”
When Hengrou saw the business coming to his door, he immediately smiled with a smile, "I'm back, I'm back!" ”
That's Hu Xiangling! I thought she was an ordinary good housewife, but I never thought she was a secret prostitute! Is it a secret prostitute......
Cao Yuzhen trembled.
Hu Xiangling also argued from his voice, it was Cao Yuzhen who chased her for a few streets, it was him.
When did he and she fall into this step?
How can it be......
He lost the pride in his appearance that could attract women from all over the world.
She has fallen into the dust, although there are men, but she is a secret prostitute.
The past surfaced, and fate turned out to be so bizarre.
They used to be husband and wife, they used to be beautiful, they used to ......
How tempting the past was, how ironic it is now.
Wang Laigou grabbed Hu Xiangling: "Damn, what are you still in a daze, there are guests coming to the door, and you haven't returned to the house to wait!" As he spoke, he took the man's copper coin, and smiled at the loss, "Uncle, please!" ”
The man hugged Hu Xiangling and strode into the house.
He hates her!
But she's a secret prostitute!
He didn't even deserve his hatred. (To be continued......)
