Chapter 620: The Secret of the Palace
Yang Muyun was silent, the youngest son and the weak young wife can always get the mercy of their husbands. But Wu's Yuyao looks very unsimple, but under her weak appearance, she is very witty. Even the stupidest person could hear what she said, the white jade elephant pendant was undoubtedly Li Sicheng's, but she didn't admit it when she was killed, she insisted that it was Li Bangji's, and didn't let her son argue, showing a look of fear of Queen Ruan Thi Anh. It's not that she's really afraid in her heart, but she knows that in front of the king, it doesn't work, and the more she pretends to be pitiful and doesn't dare to fight, the more the king will look towards him in his heart.
In the end, her actions were effective, Li Yuanlong didn't say anything on the surface, and he already disliked Ruan Thi Ying's mother and son in his heart, forcing Ruan Thi Ying to blame his son.
The old eunuch here is still recounting: "When Wu's Yuyao first entered the palace, she was named Jieyu by the king, and then she was promoted to Chongyuan with four highnesses, and the king went to her every night to rest. ”
"Then the queen must have been troubled by her often, right?" Yang Muyunxin said that when the king favored a concubine, the queen's vinegar jar would definitely be overturned. If she wants to be careful that she can't get along with that concubine, she will definitely find fault all day long.
The old eunuch shook his head, "Queen Ruan, she was not a queen before, but Concubine Chen, and the original queen was Yang Shiben." When Wang Shanggang succeeded to the throne, he did not make the queen, but first accepted the daughters of two auxiliary ministers as concubines, namely Li Rili, the daughter of the Great Sima Liyin, and Li Yuyao, the daughter of the Great Situ Licha. Later, Da Sima and Da Situ were convicted of disobedience to the king, and the two princesses were deposed, Li Rili was demoted to conformal appearance, and Li Yuyao was deposed as a concubine. After the king grasped the power, he favored Yang and named her a concubine. Later, Yang Ben gave birth to His Royal Highness Li Yimin, and the king was overjoyed at that time, promoted Yang Ben to the queen, and established His Royal Highness as the prince of the king. Empress Yang relied on the identity of the mother of the son of the world and became arrogant, bullying everyone in the palace, including Queen Ruan, who was still Concubine Chen at the time, Queen Ruan was also reprimanded by Empress Yang at that time, and the two have been fighting openly and secretly. And Wu's Yuyao's status in the palace at that time was not noble, so the relationship with Queen Ruan was very good for a while......"
Yang Muyun said secretly in his heart: "It's not surprising, under the power of Empress Yang, the two difficult sisters and sisters will definitely huddle together to keep warm." ”
"Then how did Queen Ruan defeat Queen Yang?" Yang Muyun asked.
The old eunuch looked around, and saw that there was no one else, so he whispered: "Empress Yang was deposed because of the curse of witchcraft. ”
"Curses?" Yang Muyun frowned, not knowing why.
"That's right," the old eunuch's voice became lower and lower, "The king had a headache and brain fever for a while, and he couldn't be cured no matter how he was treated, and the minister Ruan Chi privately told the king that he must have been cursed. And the one who can cast a spell on the upper body should be the people in the palace, the king was suspicious, and ordered someone to secretly investigate, and found a puppet under the big banyan tree in the middle courtyard of the queen's palace, with the king's name engraved on it, and nailed all the vital points of the body with twelve iron nails......"
Yang Muyun screamed.
"Lord Yang......" The old eunuch was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand, "You can't make a loud noise here!" ”
"Hmm......" Yang Muyun calmed down and whispered: "Don't blame your father-in-law for losing his temper in the next moment!" Please go on. ”
"Lord Yang must have never heard of such a strange thing in the Heavenly Empire?"
Yang Muyun smiled and did not speak. What the old eunuch said was very similar to the witch curse that happened in the palace of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Yang Muyun read the history books, and naturally knew this allusion, so he was surprised when he heard it.
The old eunuch seemed to have come to his senses, and continued to talk eloquently, "There is also a note nailed to the puppet's head, which reads, 'The dragon king died, and the master was born.'" There is a dragon character in the king's name, which is clearly a curse on the death of the king, and His Royal Highness has been made the son of the king, if the king is gone, he will naturally ascend the throne. The king was furious at that time, and immediately sent Yang Ben into the cold palace, and abolished the throne of His Royal Highness, demoted him to the king of Langshan, and exiled him to Langshan on the same day, and issued an edict that he would never return to Beijing......"
Yang Muyun was thrilled to hear it, the Yang family was arrogant and arrogant, and there were too many enemies. The puppet may not have been planted by her, she is likely to have fallen for someone else's plot. The person who plotted against her was probably Nguyen Thi Anh...... Ruan Chi is her father, and he reminds Li Yuanlong that someone may have cast a curse, is it a coincidence?
"Queen Ruan has now become the lord of the harem, so the third highness should be named the prince of the king, right?" Yang Muyun's mind reappeared that very domineering big child.
The old eunuch shook his head and said, "After the king abolished His Royal Highness, he did not crown the prince again. ”
"Why is that?"
"This is not something that the miscellaneous family can know," said the old eunuch, "how can I guess the king's intentions?" The king's delay in appointing a son has made people with ulterior motives think! ”
The two were talking, and suddenly saw a palace maid turn out from behind a tree and come to Yang Muyun to owe.
Yang Muyun was stunned and hurriedly returned the salute.
"Grandpa Sun," the palace maid said to the old eunuch, "Our mother wants to meet Mr. Yang, and asks Grandpa Sun to stay here for a while." As he spoke, he shoved a purse into his hand.
The old eunuch pinched it and said with a smile: "Miss Asan, you're polite," her eyes swept around slightly, "I hope Niangniang won't be too long." ”
"Well," Ah Sang turned to Yang Muyun, "Mr. Yang, please come with me." As he spoke, he flashed into a path.
Yang Muyun hurriedly followed. She had seen this Asang girl, and she was one of the two palace maids beside Wu Yuyao.
The two walked through a grove of flowers, walked over a rockery, and came to a lake surrounded by green trees, and a small boat with a bamboo canopy was parked by the lake, and a bamboo curtain hung under the bamboo canopy.
Ah Sang stepped forward and said through the bamboo curtain: "Niangniang, Mr. Yang has arrived." ”
"Well," said a soft, tactful voice inside, "go ahead, look around, and don't let anyone come close." ”
"Yes." Ahsan answered and turned to go.
Yang Muyun heard clearly, this was the voice of Wu Shiyuyao, the mother of the child, so he saluted respectfully, "Meet Niangniang below." ”
"I'm just a full woman, I don't deserve to be called that," the voice inside said: "Forbidden place in the palace, please forgive Yuyao for inconvenience to come out." ”
"Niangniang's words are serious," Yang Muyun said: "I don't know what is the matter with Niangniang asking people to call me here?" ”
"You saved my Cheng'er, I really don't know how to thank Mr.," Wu Shiyuyao said: "So I called Mr. here, and I want to say thank you to Mr. ”
"Niangniang is polite," Yang Muyun said: "Your Highness is in trouble, how can you be helpless?" But I wonder how His Highness is doing now? Can I get sick? ”
"He's fine now, he's changed his clothes, and he's clamoring to come over and thank you!" Wu Shiyuyao said: "I didn't let him come, so thank you on his behalf." ”
"Your Highness is fine," Yang Muyun said: "It's just a grass man below, but I can't afford to thank Your Highness." ”
"Mr. is too modest," Wu Shiyuyao said, "To be able to enter this palace and be summoned by the king, how can Mr. be an ordinary person?" I would like to ask for one thing, sir. ”
"Speak, mother!"
"Please don't tell anyone about what happened today."
"I promise my mother that I won't talk much after leaving the palace."
"Then I'm here to thank you, sir." Through the bamboo curtain, Yang Muyun faintly saw a slender figure owing to him, and hurriedly leaned over to return the salute.
"If there is nothing else, I will retire below," Yang Muyun said: "The palace is not as good as other places, it is better for Niangniang and His Royal Highness to be careful in everything." ”
Wu's Yuyao sighed faintly, "Sometimes I really envy the ordinary people outside the palace, who don't have to live with trepidation every day like our mother and son." ”
"Niangniang doesn't know," Yang Muyun just stopped when he was about to take a step, "The people outside work hard for three meals a day every day, and they are very envious of Niangniang and His Royal Highness's life in the palace!" ”
"But they at least sleep peacefully, unlike in this palace, I don't know what will happen tomorrow after today."
"Niangniang is smart and low-key, and knows how to protect herself," Yang Muyun comforted: "As long as you teach Your Highness to fight with others, you can be safe." ”
"Mr.'s words, the concubine body remembered," Wu Yuyao blinked through the bamboo curtain, "But if you don't fight with others, others may not be willing to give up, how to keep my child peaceful, please teach me sir." ”
"I am stupid and dare not take this advice."
"At that time, if it hadn't been for Mr. to speak out, I don't know what would have happened. Mr. shot twice, why not hesitate to teach? ”
Yang Muyun felt a big headache, and said in his heart that the secret matter of the palace was secret, how could he say more? But looking at Wu's Yuyao's posture, if he didn't say one, two, three, he wouldn't let himself go. If you delay for a few more moments, someone will find out...... Thinking of this, he was thrilled all over, and secretly regretted coming here, but now he had to bite the bullet and say: "She is jealous, but because His Royal Highness is a man, he can continue Wang Zuo." If the mother has no intention of letting His Royal Highness compete with others, she can ask the king to crown His Royal Highness as the king, so that she can reassure others. And Niangniang and Her Royal Highness can also be safe. ”
As soon as the words fell, there was silence in the boat for a while, and after a long time, he heard Wu's Yuyao say: "Ah Zhen, go and send one to Mr. Yang for me." ”
A girl answered in a low voice, the bamboo curtain was lifted, and a palace maid stepped off the boat, came to Yang Muyun, and owed slightly, "Mr. Yang, please come with me." ”
"Hmm......" Before Yang Muyun could respond, he had one more thing in his hand. Looking down, it was a big purse, and when I held it gently, I felt that it was hard inside, and I couldn't help but be stunned, "This ......"
"Sir, come with me, it will be bad if someone finds you here." Without saying anything, he turned around and left.

"It's a long story," Yang Muyun glanced at the palace guards who followed her closely, "Let's go, I'll talk to you slowly when you go out." He said goodbye to the old eunuch, and then told the palace guards about the crime, and walked out of the south gate of the palace city hand in hand with Zheng Yu.
Yang Muyun had no choice but to keep up, and his purse had to be picked up.
....
After following the old eunuch to the south gate of the palace, Yang Muyun saw Zheng Yu standing there from a distance.
As soon as she saw Yang Muyun coming, she ignored the obstruction of the palace gate guards and ran forward, her voice was full of joy, "You finally came out, why did you stay in it for so long." ”
