Chapter 517: Avenging Emperor Mu's Imperial Concubine?
"However, the imperial grandmother, as a daughter-in-law, even forgot the death of the princess and concubine, and she really deserves to be beaten." Gu Yunxin blamed himself.
In the royal family, it is the same as other big families, the main wife is the mother-in-law, the mother of all the children born in the concubine, even if the biological mother is favored, it cannot be called a mother.
Now that the queen of the middle palace is still there, Gu Yunxin, as Princess Rui, naturally can't be regarded as if she doesn't exist, otherwise, it will cause endless trouble to King Rui.
"That's it, that's it, don't take it too seriously, the mourning family will let someone accompany you to the palace where Emperor Mu lived before tonight to worship for a while, so that you don't feel guilty all the time." The Queen Mother said with a little disgust.
"Then thank you Grandmother." Gu Yunxin immediately closed when he saw it.
For so many years since marrying King Rui, Gu Yunxin has only followed King Rui to the imperial tomb to worship Emperor Mu, and as for going to Emperor Mu's original bedroom, he really hasn't been there.
No matter what dynasty or generation, as long as a concubine dies in the palace, then the dormitory where she originally lived will be taken back and assigned to other concubines to live in the future.
Emperor Mu's concubine has always been favored by the emperor, and her bedroom is still there, which is expected. When Gu Yunxin came to Mu Chen Palace, it was spotlessly cleaned.
"Princess, after the death of Emperor Mu's concubine, the emperor deliberately ordered people to maintain the original appearance, and the emperor sometimes came to sit." Mama Ruan said softly.
Hearing this, Gu Yunxin looked around, although it was very clean, but after all, the palace was secluded, and the bedroom of Emperor Mu and Concubine Mu had not been inhabited for many years, and the smell of incense and candles was everywhere, which made people feel a little depressed.
Then, Gu Yunxin stepped forward and picked up three incense sticks, kowtowed three times to the portrait of Emperor Mu and Concubine Mu hanging on it, and inserted the incense into the incense burner.
Looking at the portrait above, Gu Yunxin also noticed the payment, which was the emperor's name.
"Princess Niangniang, let's go quickly, the Queen Mother said, you still have to accompany the child, such a popular place, you still have to try not to step in." Mama Ruan said lightly.
"Okay, let's go." Gu Yunxin bowed slightly, and then left Mu Chen Palace with Mama Ruan.
When he first walked to the road, Gu Yunxin found that the forbidden step hanging on his waist did not know when he lost it. The jade pendant on it is still carved by King Rui himself, but it can't be lost.
If you think about it carefully, what was still on your body just now must have been accidentally dropped when you kowtowed to the incense.
"Mama, my forbidden step has fallen, I'll go back and look for it, you go back to serve the imperial grandmother first." Gu Yunxin said lightly.
"Mother, and later here, the slave will help you find it." Ruan Mama said.
"No, you still wait, I'll find it myself, it should have fallen in the room, soon." Gu Yunxin said with a light smile.
"Otherwise, the slave will accompany you." Mama Ruan said softly.
"It's fine."
The two of them walked into Mu Chen Palace again, and sure enough, the forbidden step fell on the futon, Gu Yunxin took a step forward to pick up the forbidden step and hung it on his waist again.
When Mama Ruan and Gu Yunxin were about to leave, they smelled a smell of burning paper.
It is forbidden to burn paper in this palace, who would be so bold to burn paper in the palace, isn't it afraid that the emperor will know about the crime?
With curiosity, Gu Yunxin pulled Mama Ruan towards the smell, and at the corner of the palace, she saw a woman burning paper.
"Sister Mu Guifei, you were killed by a traitor back then, and I wanted to avenge you, but I am soft-spoken and have no strength, so I can only make you wait for so long. I've sent those two slut children down to make amends for you, and you don't have to be soft-hearted and don't treat them as human beings. The woman's voice was cold.
What the? Sent those two slut children down? Could it be that he is talking about the children of Concubine Yu and Concubine Xi?
Who the hell is this man? Just as Gu Yunxin wanted to take a closer look at the other party's appearance, the woman turned her head sharply, and Gu Yunxin couldn't help but be startled.
It turned out to be Concubine Feng, this Concubine Feng has always been unknown in the palace, if it weren't for the emperor asking her to raise the fifteenth prince, Gu Yunxin wouldn't have remembered that there was such a number one person in the palace.
"Concubine Feng, why are you?" Gu Yunxin was surprised.
"Princess Rui, everything I did was to avenge Emperor Mu, don't tell the prince first, when I finish cleaning up the Xiao family, I will go back to ask the emperor for guilt, and when the time comes, even if the emperor kills me, I have no regrets." After finishing speaking, Concubine Feng pushed Gu Yunxin away and quickly ran towards the corner gate of Mu Chen Palace.
Gu Yunxin and Mama Ruan glanced at each other, "Mama, are we going to tell the imperial grandmother about this?" ”
"Princess, why don't you be the princess first, after all, it's just the two of us who heard what Feng Concubine said, and didn't hear what Feng Concubine admitted." Mama Ruan lowered her voice and said.
Thinking about it, now King Rui is being ordered to investigate the case, let him know, and it is convenient for him to start the investigation.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunxin said lightly: "Hongqi, you go to King Hui or King Huai!"
"Doesn't the master go directly to the prince?" Red Ribbon wondered.
"It's the same to let King Hui Huai come over, Concubine Feng just said, if you want me not to tell the prince first, I'm afraid I'm worried that the prince will stop her plan, if she is really the murderer, then if I go to the prince, she may do something radical." Gu Yunxin frowned slightly.
"Yes, slave and maid go now." Hongqi said lightly.
King Rui and the others were in the palace one by one asking the palace maids and eunuchs who were doing things around the fifteenth prince and Princess Rong before the accident, and he believed that someone must have seen something, but because of the identity of the other party, he didn't dare to say it.
"Fifth brother, these people didn't see anything they said, and these servants who were serving all said that they were told by their masters to leave. I'm really. King Huai said indignantly.
"Ninth brother, don't be impatient, these people all answer like this, there must be a problem, but we don't understand why this is happening." King Hui said lightly.
"I know, I just don't know what to do, how to say that the dead are our brothers and sisters." King Huai sighed.
At this moment, Hongxuan walked over quickly, "The slave has seen the two princes. ”
"Hongxuan, you didn't serve by the fifth sister-in-law's side, why did you come over? But the fifth sister-in-law has something to do with the fifth brother? King Huai laughed.
"No, the princess asks one of the two to come over." Hongxuan said lightly.
"One of the two of us?" King Huai pointed to his nose with one hand and said.
"yes, who's going to go?" Hongxuan looked at King Hui and King Huai, and took a moment to say.
"Didn't the fifth sister-in-law say which of us she wanted to go?" King Hui wondered.
"Yes, when the princess is the princess, either of you can go, just now when we went to worship Emperor Mu's concubine, we accidentally found that Concubine Feng was also secretly worshipping outside, and said some strange things, so the master wanted to let one of the two pass." Hongxuan said lightly.
In fact, although she was just standing behind at that time, she clearly heard what Concubine Feng said, since the master just asked her to call someone, then she naturally wouldn't say anything.
"Ninth brother, go ahead, the fifth sister-in-law is still in the Imperial Grandmother's Palace." King Hui pushed Huai Wang Dao.
"Why did you let me go? Sixth brother, you are afraid that the imperial grandmother will urge you to have a child, and I am also afraid that the imperial grandmother will urge me to get married. King Huai pouted.
"No, grandmother has already given up on you, but I and Zhuo Qian, she is staring very closely, if Zhuo Qian and I don't have children yet, she will give me a stuff in the house." King Hui said hurriedly.
"Alright, alright, then let me face the storm alone." King Huai said with a look of death.
"His Royal Highness King Huai, do you want such an expression, you just went to see my master, there is no need to treat death as if you were home." Hongxuan frowned slightly.
"But isn't the fifth sister-in-law still in the palace of the imperial grandmother? When I go to see my fifth sister-in-law, I must say hello to the imperial grandmother, so won't the imperial grandmother count me down at that time? King Huai said aggrievedly.
"It's true that the master is in the Queen Mother's Palace, but the master is in the Xuanruo Pavilion next to him." Hongxuan said with a smile.
"The fifth sister-in-law is in Xuanruo Pavilion, then I won't be worried." King Huai scratched his head and said with a smile.
King Huai followed Hongxuan to Xuanruo Pavilion, and Gu Yunxin was drawing something on paper with a pen in the house.
When King Huai walked in, he found that there was a picture of the relationship between the characters on the paper.
"Fifth sister-in-law, ...... are you," King Huai wondered.
"Ninth brother, you are here, sit down and tell me about the previous things in the palace." Gu Yunxin said with a smile.
Originally, Gu Yunxin just wanted Hongxuan to call King Huai to come, compared to King Hui, King Huai was more familiar with the personnel relations of the harem, and this matter might also involve King Hui's mother, so it was good not to let him come now.
"What happened before in the palace? Fifth sister-in-law, you are not a person who likes to inquire about these things. King Huai looked at Gu Yun suspiciously.
"Hongxuan should have told you, today Mama Ruan accompanied me to worship the prince's mother, and I happened to meet Feng Concubine who was also secretly worshipping, and I also heard her say that she sent the two slut's children down to make amends or something, so I want to know about what happened to this Feng Concubine in the palace before."
"This Feng Concubine was originally a maid in the queen's palace, just because once, the queen sent her to send her father lily lotus seed soup, it happened that it was raining heavily that day, she didn't have an umbrella, just walked quickly with the food box, and when she arrived outside the door of the imperial study, she was already soaked. Father-in-law Zhang saw that she was soaked, so he asked her to go to the warm pavilion to change into clean clothes. I didn't think that my father would give it in at that time, and you understand what happened after that......"
This is not difficult to understand, after all, the women in this harem are all emperors, and if the emperor wants to favor her, she can't and dare not resist.
"And after that?" Gu Yun said in his heart.
"Later, the queen learned about this and severely punished Concubine Feng, it can be said that there are countless women like her, who have been favored by their father and left behind once, and they have no family background and are not favored, and their life in the palace is extremely difficult."
"Well, I understand that the harem has always complemented each other, the harem is favored, and his family can be reused by the emperor in the previous dynasty. Similarly, those who were valued by the emperor in the previous dynasty will not have too bad status in the harem. can imagine what kind of life Concubine Feng lived at that time. Gu Yunxin said lightly.
"Well, as for the rest, I don't know." King Huai spread his hands and said with a helpless look.
