Two children died suddenly in the palace, and the other princes and princesses were like frightened birds, hiding by their biological mother's side all day long, and even when they went to relieve themselves, their biological mother accompanied them with all the slaves and maids, making the palace, which had not much laughter and laughter, even more deserted.

King Rui was also full of sadness all day long, after all, the palace has been so unpeaceful recently, and things have been unsettled again and again, as if God is going to test him.

"Lord Wang, aren't you going to rest yet?" Gu Yunxin stood at the door of the study and knocked lightly.

Hearing the sound, King Rui looked up at the door, the moon was already hanging in the middle, and there was a tired smile on his face, "It's so late, why don't you sleep yet." ”

"Xun'er is already asleep, and there is Hongxuan Hongling watching, seeing that you haven't returned to the room so late, I'll come and take a look." Gu Yunxin said softly.

Before, Gu Yunxin put too much thought on Xun'er's body, and left King Rui out in the cold for a long time, even his mother couldn't stand it, and after a few persuasions, Gu Yunxin realized that although the child is the continuation of his own bloodline, it is your pillow person who really accompanies him through his life.

"There have been a lot of things in the palace these days, and I have just finished dealing with the funerals of my fifteenth brother and sister Rong, and my father and grandmother also said that I should not approach you and the child in the past few days, so as not to bring you something bad. I'll sleep in the study tonight, and when I'm buried tomorrow, I'll bathe in grapefruit leaves and go back. Rui Wang said softly.

In the past few days, he has not seen his beloved wife and son, how can he not be worried? It's just that the only thing that is certain now is that this is someone carrying out a revenge plan.

He didn't want such a thing to happen in the palace again, and he had to find out the murderer as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, King Rui pinched his eyebrows with one hand, and at this moment, Mo Feng appeared in front of King Rui.

"Master, my subordinates and Mu Bai have been lurking in the harem for the past few days, and they haven't found out who did it, but they have discovered a strange thing."

"Get to the point!" King Rui said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my lord. The subordinates found that Concubine Feng secretly went to the cold palace at night to burn paper money, as if she wanted to pay tribute to someone. Mo Feng said lightly.

Hearing this, King Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, and he secretly thought in his heart, this Feng Concubine went to the cold palace in the middle of the night to burn paper money? Could it be that she wants to pay tribute to the Jade Concubine?

However, I have never heard of it, this Feng Concubine has a good relationship with Concubine Yu? Could it be that because Princess Rong also died, she went to pay respects?

This is not right, if Concubine Feng went to pay tribute because Princess Rong died, it would be unreasonable.

Unless, instead of going to pay tribute, she went to tell Concubine Yu that her only daughter was also dead.

It may be crazy to do this, but some people always feel that doing it will be extremely enjoyable.

"Continue to monitor Concubine Feng and see what else she does, this king believes that she must be a person with secrets." King Rui said in a deep voice.

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Mo Feng took the order and left.

Winter has passed, but the nights in Kyoto are still a little cold. After King Rui left the study, he walked towards the bamboo forest behind......

At this time of year, he would spend a few nights alone in the bamboo forest, because more than ten years ago today, it was the death day of his mother.

still remembers that night more than ten years ago, the mother concubine was giving birth to his younger brother in the palace,

But because the child's fetal position was not correct, and the mother concubine had some heart palpitations, she couldn't lift it in one breath, so she left this world with her younger brother.

Although the mother concubine was buried in the imperial mausoleum, there was a special person in charge of sacrificing and sweeping every day, but as a son of man, he also had to do a filial piety.

"Master, your subordinates have bought everything you wanted." Jiang Xiao carried a basket and said softly.

"Well, let's get everything out." King Rui said in a deep voice.

Immediately, Jiang Xiao took out a pile of paper money and many folded ingots from the basket, and King Rui was on the side, replacing the flowers and fruits on the table.

Then, King Rui lit three incense sticks and whispered to the spiritual position of his mother and younger brother: "Mother, brother, today is your death day, I will send you something." I'm sorry, but I haven't brought her here except to take Yunxin to the Imperial Tomb to pay respects to you. ”

"Master, I can't blame you for this, the rules of the Great Zhou, the prince who was not born, and the prince and princess who died before the moon, cannot offer incense, let alone go down in history." Jiang Xiao comforted.

"This king knows, so he enshrines the spiritual seat of his mother here, just so that his younger brother can receive what I burned for them." King Rui hung his head and said.

Seeing King Rui like this, Jiang Xiao was really distressed, their prince was carrying too many things in his heart. What he couldn't understand was that since the prince and the princess felt so good, why didn't the prince tell the princess about the bamboo forest?

Since, in front of the princess, the prince has already tacitly acquiesced to being the master of the Netherworld Pavilion, then what else can't be said?

"Lord Wang, the concubine and your brother will definitely be able to receive it. After so many years, your brother must have been reincarnated. Jiang Xiao said.

In fact, Jiang Xiao didn't know if people had a past life or this life, he just hoped that his prince could relax a little. Now that everyone has been dead for so many years, the prince still can't let go.

"Reincarnation? Jiang Xiao, you say, does this person really have a past life and this life? If there is really an afterlife, this king also hopes that he will not be reborn in the emperor's family. King Rui said in a deep voice.

"What's so bad about the Emperor's family? The prince can get the best master to teach martial arts, and there is a title that everyone envies. Jiang Xiao wondered.

"This glory and wealth are just passing by the eyes, haven't you heard of the most ruthless emperor's family? The father loves his mother so much, if he wants his unborn brother to have a name, can't he do it? King Rui sighed.

"Lord, since the emperor can't do it, then wait for you to become the emperor, can you just change this?" Jiang Xiao proposed.

"Well, when the time comes, this king will move his younger brother into the imperial mausoleum in a beautiful manner, and give him a nickname, so that he can also be worshiped by the royal family of the Zhao clan of the Great Zhou Dynasty later." Rui Wang said lightly.

If there is anything that can make King Rui willing to compete for the throne, I am afraid there is only one thing.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates don't know whether to ask or not."

"If you think you should ask, then ask, and if you think you shouldn't ask, then don't ask." King Rui glanced at Jiang Xiao and said.

"Okay, I asked. The subordinates want to ask the prince, since the princess is the most important person in the prince's life, why does the prince still hide the princess's affairs in the bamboo forest? Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said.

"The king has enough trust in his wife

, Just, do you think she won't be afraid to let her know that there is a lonely grave in the bamboo forest behind this mansion? King Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I shouldn't be afraid, the princess is quite bold." Jiang Xiao hesitated slightly.

"Daring?" King Rui looked at Jiang Xiao suspiciously.

"Yes, yesterday the princess took the little prince for a walk in the courtyard, and a snake came out, and the princess stepped forward and trampled the snake to death, but she was stunned by the red silk and the red ling." Jiang Xiao exaggerated.

"The princess trampled the snake to death? How big a snake is it? "King Rui is so tidy.

"It's just a small green snake with thick fingers, but the princess is not afraid, if this was given to other women, she would have screamed in fright." Jiang Xiao said with a smile.

"Women are weak, but mothers are strong. Once a woman becomes a mother, in order to protect her children, she can really do anything, and her potential can burst out. King Rui curled his lips slightly.

On weekdays, Gu Yunxin was scared to jump up when she saw a small insect, but she really didn't expect that she would dare to step on a snake now, even if it was a small green snake.

Jiang Xiao saw a faint smile on King Rui's face, and some of the second monks were confused, just now the prince was still wearing clothes and looking bitter, but now he is smiling.

"Lord, lord, are you okay......"

"It's okay, there are Mo Feng and Mu Bai in the palace, these days you have been out of Beijing for this king, and there is news from Fengyang City, saying that someone is pretending to be someone from the Netherworld Pavilion to do mischief, you go and see, if it is true, kill it." King Rui commanded lightly.

"Yes. Do you still need subordinates to accompany you here? ”

"No need, this king wants to sit by himself for a while, and he also wants to think about what is happening in the womb these days." King Rui said in a deep voice.

After thinking about it, the biggest suspect is still Feng Concubine, but why did she do this?

It is also a very honorable thing to be able to raise the children of other concubines. Even if the fifteen princes will not become emperors, they will at least be princes in a few years.

Even if Concubine Feng is not kind to the fifteenth prince, this nurturing grace is not small, and she can follow the fifteenth prince to his fiefdom to live for the rest of her life.

"Mother, you say, is this Feng Concubine a murderer? If she is the murderer, how can she do it, so that everyone does not doubt it, and there are those who are waiting by her side, why do they leave so safely? King Rui whispered to his mother's spiritual position.

Of course, this is all the self-talk of the Rui King, and if the Lingwei can really answer him, I think the Rui King will be shocked.

That night, King Rui stayed in a hut in the bamboo forest.

Perhaps, tonight is destined to be a rough night. It's been a habit for many years.

Since Gu Yunxin knew that King Rui had something to do, she didn't send anyone to ask about it, not to mention, she knew that King Rui and they were all busy investigating the murders in the palace recently, and it was understandable that they were sleeping in the study.

However, that night, something happened in the East Palace, and the crown princess was killed, and her body was still hanging in her bedroom. It wasn't until a maidservant saw the swaying shadow on the window and went to check it that she found that the princess had hanged herself.
