Chapter 343: Abduction
In the middle of the night of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the huge toss of the East Palace has gradually become a legend in the market in a few days.
At first, it was some forbidden soldiers and guards who had witnessed the scene to tell the story with their noses and eyes.
The traitors broke into the palace and committed crimes, but they found that there was a dragon and a python outside the door of the palace of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the gods blocked the way very much, and they were in awe, and they disarmed and surrendered together.
Since that day, the prince's health has gradually improved.
The folk customs of the Central Plains are not as good as the southern call that directly treats the snake as a god, and people still stay away with fear when it is great. But hundreds of years ago, there was an old example of beheading the white snake and becoming the emperor, which inevitably made some people of insight think more about such strange things.
The news of the blessing of the Xiao family was reported to His Majesty the Emperor who was fasting in the Taimiao, and it led to the joy of Long Yan.
The emperor not only drafted the decree that the seventy-year-old man of the country would be clothed with silk and gold beads to pray for the prince's longevity, but also made the ministers who accompanied him make a song with this auspicious rui.
This move is heard all over the world.
The husband and wife in the Yanwang Mansion who were tired of being crooked together were very satisfied with the results of the cooperation between the two, and they sank into the silly pleasure of serving the little doll's feces and urine.
Yulan Hall in the East Palace is the residence of the crown prince Xiao Ze, and he naturally recruited any auspicious things. It has nothing to do with the prince of Yan who was born in Baoyi Courtyard under the watchful eye of the princess Niangniang Qin, let alone the Zhou family, who is just an ordinary mother.
This kind of good thing that can take out the mother and son of Man Yun to prevent them from being embarrassed by the fact that the Nanzhao poison family remembers the holy snake, and can help the prince to retain the throne to a certain extent, and the people who participated in the rumors think it is still very cost-effective.
As for the origin of the traitor, it was also revealed in front of the eyes of the world.
Gaowei, the Marquis of Jinxiang, who surrendered after the destruction of Jianyang City, actually endured the humiliation and thought of his old Chen, dedicated it to the jade seal, and took the concubine as his wife, all of which were lurking and waiting to plot the Xiao royal family.
So. Before breaking into the East Palace, he first used He Liangdi, who was favored by the prince's side, to plot against the Yan Wang's family who had seized the Jianyang Palace first.
Many of the former ministers of Nanchen have come forward to examine the corpses of several anti-thieves who were dragged out of the Prince's East Palace and mixed with the internal prisons, which were the loyal servants who did not abandon and followed the Gao family and his wife to Beijing that day.
The wall fell down, and everyone pushed it, and some people vaguely mentioned that Marquis Xiao Gao was in Jianyang, Jiangnan, and he used the identity of the abolished emperor's attendant to enter and leave the palace and secretly communicate with Concubine Zhang.
To study in detail how Gao Wei used Shanghe Liangdi, and even caused the He family to be involved in the game? The people who talk privately are smacking between their mouths, and they show lewd smiles to each other.
The concubine Zhang Xixi, who spanned three generations of the Chen Dynasty, was too glamorous and too bad in Luojing City, so that there was still a ridiculous so-called truth, once discovered, it was related to a generation of demon concubines who did not know where to go. Many people believe without looking deeply.
Gao Wei was imprisoned on the night of the failed rebellion. The Marquis of Jinxiang's mansion was copied from the inside out, and even the servants who had only been recruited in Beijing for a short time were locked up in prison, saying that they had to verify their identities one by one and were not thieves before they escaped death.
It's just that He Liangdi, who may have cuckolded His Royal Highness the seriously ill Prince, and Gao Wei's old concubine and new wife Xue, who was with him all the way, are still on the run six or seven days after the incident, and there is no trace.
Sanyuan Bridge, Mao'er Hutong.
The oblique shadow of the big locust tree was vaguely woven on the faces of several women who were talking about it.
Most of the Luojing people who live at the feet of the Son of Heaven have some habits of discussing state affairs in private, and women in the market are no exception.
When they talked about this biggest new incident in Beijing one by one, they were filled with righteous indignation, and they longed to spitle and nail to death the women who had brought disaster to the country and the people and did not abide by women's morals.
"Not really! When I was in Gangnam. I've also heard that Concubine Zhang was actually stoned to death! You really deserve it! Xue Sujun flattered the second aunt who scolded the loudest with a sweet smile like a signboard, and her eyebrows and eyes stretched.
"Didn't you say that Concubine Zhang escaped that day, and she also showed up on the sixteenth day to lure the rebels to death?"
"Or maybe it's a ghost? Amitabha, if you can't help that Jinxiang Marquis in his previous life, he didn't cultivate, so he just let the resentful soul entangle. ”
Looking at the faces of a bunch of aunts and sisters, there was a deep or shallow look of uncertainty, and Xue Su, who had just mentioned the theory of ghosts and gods, gave a salute to the group, and slapped his mouth. Confessed the gaffe.
The second aunt's hanging eyes looked at the young woman in front of her seriously. In the pile of women in Mao'er Hutong, she is one of the people who does not know much about Xue Sujun's identity. But if she hadn't been told in advance, she would definitely not believe it, and the most mean woman when she was talking to them about recent events was Gao Xue, who was about to be arrested in the city now.
In the past few days, I have seen Xue Suyun's plump figure wrapped in various clothes, and her face is like a ball of moon, and she is not a little haggard, but she looks more energetic.
Xue Sujun accompanied several women to continue to discuss how to deal with Concubine Zhang and her demon companions, and watched the two women who were going to go home with their children leave first, and then regretfully followed the three aunts and six women who were in charge of their affairs.
The delicate and amiable merchant woman Xue Wang stepped into the small courtyard. waited for the handmaid to close the door, and then raised the handkerchief full of sweat in his hand, and the hideous color suddenly came to his face.
The maidservant who had just returned from listening to the news whispered a few words to a man in brown.
The man with a white face who didn't need to pull the throat of the male duck glanced at Xue Suyun, who was sitting in the hall and repeated the presence of the old god, bowed his head and sighed: "Madame is really like a god, I will listen to Madame's arrangement in the future." ”
Xue Sujun snorted arrogantly. The bracelet ring on the wrist of the cheek is lifted and clangs.
When the Jianyang Palace was broken, Gonggong Feng, who followed Concubine Zhang, changed the identities of more than a dozen palace maids who were not eye-catching on weekdays, and cried and shouted to become loyal servants of the Gao family halfway through the escort of Nan Chen's old ministers to the north.
This time in Luojing, most of them followed Elder Kui to fill in the basin of the East Palace at the time of the incident, and only three or four people survived on the side of Mao'er Hutong.
On his face, he was happy with the few people in front of him, and now he was convinced to follow his joy, but in Xue Suyun's heart, heaven and man were at war.
At that time, Xue Suyun, who received a notice from Gao Wei and was still relying on Mao'er Hutong and did not return, wanted to slip away. If these people went to support the East Palace, which had determined Zhou Manyun's whereabouts, and could not come back, it would be cheaper to get rid of them and live a new life. Can ...... now
"The city is loose and tight, and nine times out of ten out of the city will be held at this time. It's better to wait for the emperor to return to the city, the situation is completely settled, and then we will leave Luojing in peace. ”
Xue Sujun thought about it seriously, and then said with a smile: "After all, this is the hiding place chosen by Princess Yan herself. A few days ago, the soldiers who came to investigate the alley left as soon as they heard the report from the courtyard next door. It's dark under the lights, but you can stay longer. ”
In connection with what happened in the past few days, Xue Suyun's statement has been recognized by everyone who only wants to survive first.
No matter how difficult it is, you have to take care of food and clothing.
After talking about the escape, Xue Sujun smiled and beckoned the maid next to him to go to the kitchen to make a meal, and leaned on the gate of the courtyard in a good mood and grabbed a handful of copper to let the big tiger who was passing by home run errands to sell wine. As in the old days.
As the night fell, the lights and candles in the courtyards of Mao'er Hutong were blown out one after another.
Xue Suyun, who was originally lying flat on the couch and staring at the beams of the room, turned over with a bone.
She coughed twice in a low voice, and then stretched out a finger to poke at the maid who was sleeping at the end of the couch. Such dutiful protection is not only to guard her safety, but also to keep her in prison.
Only this time, the woman who had drunk a small glass of wine under the persuasion of Xue Sujun before going to bed was immediately poured.
Xue Suyun probed the woman's completely absent snort, fortunately breathed a sigh of relief, and reached out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.
From the first day I moved into the alley, no matter how the outside world changed. After giving birth to her second son, she was not in good health and couldn't drink, but she allowed everyone to drink a few sips of wine at night, and finally got a good reward.
Alcohol is poisonous. Originally, the medicine was taken from Elder Kui under the pretext of suicide in distress, although it was roughly confirmed that none of the "servants" who came with him were outstanding in medicine and poison, but when he was drugged, Xue Sujun still insisted on the anxiety of fearing the incident in the east window.
And now, the medicine is surprisingly working. I have to say that God is also helping her.
How long can it be dark under the light?
Xue Suyun, who still knew Zhou Manyun, calculated the date of the birth of the prince of Xia Yan. As soon as the woman calmed down from the excitement of becoming a new mother, she would send someone to the predetermined hiding place to clean up the traces.
It is worse to be found by Zhou Manyun's people than to be arrested and imprisoned by the forbidden army in the city. With such a sober understanding. Xue Sujun naturally wanted to leave the people around him behind, and the sooner he slipped away, the better.
The maidservant who died of poisoning was changed into Xue Suxi's clothes, tung oil was poured on the couch, and a lit candlestick was poured a few feet away, licking the red silk that was used as a fuse little by little.
After pinching the hour, Xue Sujun, who had changed into men's clothes, quietly opened the courtyard door.
"Sister! Why did you come out! ”
Xue Suyun threw a wink and smiled at the little boy who was waiting anxiously outside the courtyard, "Look where you look like a tiger." It's like a big monkey! ”
"Sister, let's go quickly! If I get caught by my second aunt, she'll beat me to death! Dahu's face showed a fear of urgency, and he waved his hand hurriedly.
"The whole alley is silent! Are you in a hurry for Mr. Guan to ask for a silver reward? Xue Sujun smiled and twisted the ears of the big tiger.
The big tiger lowered his head and rubbed the corners of his clothes vigorously. is still a small wealth fan who usually takes benefits from Xue Sujun's hands.
Led by a familiar tiger, Xue Suxuan walked through the small alleys like a labyrinth, breathing in the cold of the night, and feeling happy and proud for a while.
Originally, at this time, the boy who led the way should have slept in the hall of Yilan Zhai and watched the store. After the fifteenth day of the first month, Dahu was accepted as an apprentice by Mr. Xi of Yilan Zhai, and he took turns sleeping there with a few brothers and sisters.
The child was able to get Mr. Xi's blue eyes, and his second aunt, who was covered in oil and smoke, didn't make any effort, and Xue Sujun strongly recommended him in a letter of affection.
Mr. Xi, who is in his forties, is also a sanctimonious scholar, and on the day he rented the house, he showed a trace of pity to the beautiful businesswoman who was about to start living alone. After a few days, the big tiger received a small amount of money to help the fish and geese, and he showed a strange mood.
It just so happened that as soon as Mr. Xi proposed that as the landlord, he would compensate her for the search, and Xue Sujun mentioned that he would send himself to the door.
"And let him try it, and when the nameless corpse of the suspected Qin prisoner was found in the burned rented house, it is said that the man who manages the industry for Pei Xiang will always find me a safe place to go in order not to be exterminated."
Xue Sujun, who secretly thought that he was laughing out loud, touched the backpack containing several bottles of secret medicine again, and increased his confidence in controlling the first springboard after the accident.
"Sister, the back door of Yilan Zhai has arrived!"
The big tiger's finger pointed to a small door, and the childish round face was full of obvious honesty and a faint excitement. (To be continued......)
