Chapter 234: The Emperor Is Manipulated
Originally, Concubine Jin thought that this matter would pass like this, who knows, King Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, "Back then, Xiao Yuanpeng just pulled my lady's clothes, and his hand was cut off by the king's own hand, and now that you have hit the king's wife, what do you think the king should do?"
Hearing this, Concubine Jin panicked, of course she knew this matter very well, when King Rui cut off Xiao Yuanpeng's arm, the cold air around her body made people feel terrifying.
"And what do you want? Do you want to cut off one of Hongu's arms too? Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the concubines, King Rui is like this, the concubines are really scared. Concubine Jin stepped forward and grabbed the emperor's robe.
"Concubine Ai doesn't have to be afraid, King Rui is just joking with you." The emperor gently touched Concubine Jin's long hair and said.
After finishing speaking, the emperor looked at King Rui again, "Yi'er, Concubine Jin didn't mean it, besides, she still has two maidservants who know martial arts around her to protect her, saying that Concubine Jin hurt her, but I don't believe it, if it is said that they are embarrassing Concubine Jin together, I still believe it." ”
"Emperor, don't you even believe in the mourning family?" The Queen Mother said angrily.
This emperor is simply stunned, I really don't understand, what is so good about this Jin Concubine that can make him so obsessed.
"Queen Mother, you don't understand your son's feelings for Concubine Jin, if you do this to Concubine Jin again, don't blame your son for being unfilial." After finishing speaking, the emperor picked up Concubine Jin, who was kneeling on the ground, and walked towards the outside of the hall......
Watching the emperor leave, the Queen Mother shed tears, I really didn't expect that a wise and martial emperor would become like this, "Yi'er, it is said that the country will die and there will be demons, according to the mourning family, this Jin Concubine is the demon who troubled my Great Zhou, your father and the emperor have been so fascinated by her that they don't have anything, what can I do in the world of this Great Zhou?" The Queen Mother sighed with tears.
"The imperial grandmother doesn't have to worry, the grandson will definitely persuade the emperor well." After finishing speaking, King Rui left Funing Palace with Gu Yunxin.
Passing through the Mengzhuang Palace where Concubine Xi lived, Gu Yunxin took the food box in Lanzhi's hand, and was just about to step in, but was blocked by the guards guarding outside.
"Princess Rui, the emperor has banned Concubine Xi and does not allow people to enter and leave at will."
"It turned out to be a guard Zhang, although the emperor said that no one is allowed to enter and leave at will, but the concubine is not arbitrary, isn't this discussing with the two?" Gu Yunxin said with a light smile.
"Princess Rui, we dare not disobey the emperor's order, and please don't embarrass our brother." Zhang Guard arched his hand.
"Zhang Guard, this concubine was entrusted by the beneficiary king to send some snacks that Concubine Xi loves to eat. Besides, Concubine Xi was only grounded for a while, if you stepped on a foot in her suffering days, she lifted the grounding on the day, can you think about the end? It is convenient for others and yourself, don't forget, Concubine Xi still has two sons, King Hui and the fifteenth prince. Gu Yunxin said coldly.
Hearing this, the two guards glanced at each other, and I have to say that what Princess Rui said is very reasonable, things in this palace are changing rapidly, and today they are still the favorites of the high
Concubine, he will be trampled on one day, but they can't disobey the emperor's orders, in case they are discovered by others, they can't eat and walk around.
"Princess, you are a noble person, others dare not do anything to you, but we ......," the other guard said worriedly.
"If there is anything, this king is responsible, since the sixth brother begged this king and princess to visit Concubine Xi, it is also the king's principle to be entrusted with loyalty." Rui Wang lifted the curtain and said in a deep voice.
Those who can ride in this palace in the carriage, in addition to the emperor and the queen mother, are the Rui Wang, which is the emperor's unique honor to the Rui Wangfu.
"Don't worry, the concubine won't stay long, just go in and visit, and then come out, so it's also an explanation to King Hui." After finishing speaking, Gu Yunxin took Hongxuan and Hongling into Mengzhuang Palace.
Concubine Xi was grounded by the emperor, and the maids and eunuchs in this palace were also lazy, and when Gu Yunxin walked by with Hongxuan Hongling, she didn't find anyone coming in.
When I came to the door of the dormitory, I heard the master and servant chatting inside.
"Niangniang, you can eat some, you still have fifteen princes, His Royal Highness King Hui will definitely find a way to save you." Concubine Xi's maidservant whispered comfortingly.
"The palace can't eat, the emperor has always paid no attention to King Hui, even if he wants to save the palace, he is also powerless, the fifteenth prince is still young, and now he is being raised by the queen, the palace is really a mistake, and he was calculated by the slut of Concubine Jin." Concubine Xi gritted her teeth and said.
"Niangniang, don't be discouraged, King Hui is a prince no matter what he says, and the emperor will not ignore him."
"Concerned? In the past, in the palace, the most favored woman was Emperor Mu's concubine, as long as there was Emperor Mu's concubine, all women had to stand aside, and the son she gave birth to was also the emperor's favorite. Concubine Xi said with tears in her eyes.
I really don't understand, why she had to enter the palace in the first place, if she was loved by the emperor, it was okay, if she was not loved, she would die of old age in this deep palace for the rest of her life. If you don't want to die, you have to climb up on someone else's bones.
The battle in the harem is sometimes more tragic than the battle between the court and the middle, and if you are not careful, you can lose the life of the whole family.
"Niangniang, how can it be, the emperor still values our King Hui very much, and the prince still holds a position in the court."
"Hmph, that's just because Zhang'er and King Rui are on good terms, the emperor's names for several princes can be seen, King Rui has always been Yi'er, what about the other princes? The sixth and ninth, as if they didn't have names. "Concubine Xi is unwilling.
"Concubine Xi gave up so quickly?" Gu Yunxin said lightly. Immediately, he walked into the Mengzhuang Palace.
"Princess Rui? How did you come in, the emperor has banned the concubine and no one is allowed to visit, can you come, can King Hui also come in? Concubine Xi stepped forward and grabbed Gu Yun, and said anxiously.
"The emperor hasn't lifted your grounding yet, but Concubine Ben is taking a risk to visit you."
"Come to visit me? But King Hui invites you
Coming? Concubine Xi said happily.
"Yes, it was King Hui who invited Concubine Ben to visit you and brought you your favorite pastries. Long story short, Concubine Ben wants to know, who helped Concubine Jin get favored? ”
"I really don't know this, Concubine Jin has always stayed in her Jade Snow Palace, and never interacted with other concubines, even if she met in the Imperial Garden, that is, she nodded and left. The concubines in the palace all said that Concubine Jin was arrogant and didn't like her. We don't know about her. Concubine Xi said lightly.
Since she didn't find anything here in Concubine Xi, she couldn't continue to stay, "Then Concubine Ben will go back first, you still have to investigate the affairs in the palace carefully, and Concubine Ben will bring King Hui's snacks to see you next time." After finishing speaking, Gu Yunxin put down the food box and left.
Concubine Xi's maidservants opened the food box and saw some scattered silver taels and pearls at the bottom of the food box, which they used to bribe the guards and the eunuchs who brought them food.
In this harem, sometimes if you want to eat something good, unless you are the emperor's favorite concubine, you have to rely on silver to bribe those eunuchs, or you can only eat some of the same food as the palace maids and eunuchs.
And these grounded concubines, if they don't have silver two bribes, they can only eat some rancid leftovers.
After Gu Yunxin left Mengzhuang Palace, he and King Rui got into the carriage and returned to King Rui's Mansion together.
Back at the house, King Hui and King Huai were already waiting here, and when they saw the two coming back, they hurriedly stepped forward, "Fifth brother, how is my mother?" ”
"Don't worry, Concubine Xi is fine, I prepared broken silver and pearls for her, let her bribe the eunuch, except for not being able to leave Mengzhuang Palace, everything else is fine." Gu Yunxin said lightly.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." King Hui bent down and arched his hand.
As long as he knows that his mother is well, then he can rest assured. I just don't know, but the mother knows some useful news.
"Fifth sister-in-law, do you know anything about Concubine Xi?" King Huai said hurriedly.
"It's a pity that Concubine Xi doesn't know anything. It seems that we have checked the harm ourselves. Gu Yunxin frowned.
"Fifth brother, fifth sister-in-law, you help the sixth brother, the sixth one keeps it in mind, if you need the sixth brother to do something, just tell it." King Hui said in a deep voice.
The sudden rise of a concubine in the palace must be helped by someone, otherwise it is not easy for her to get the attention of the emperor.
Since she is not a queen, nor is she a concubine, who else has such skills and means in this harem?
"Lady, have you noticed that something is wrong with your father's state today?" King Rui frowned.
"It's a bit of an anomaly, but I don't know where the problem is." Gu Yunxin shook his head helplessly.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates feel that the emperor's state today looks like he has been controlled." Mo Feng said in a deep voice.
Dominated? Wouldn't that be bad? If the king of a country is manipulated by others, it is not the same as the destruction of the country
Is it?
"Fifth brother, if my father is manipulated, what can I do? You say, could it be Bei Liang's conspiracy? King Huai worried.
Today's Southern Chu Emperor has a deep friendship with King Rui's Mansion, and the other party's ability to sit on the throne is also based on the plan of King Rui and Princess Rui, so he naturally will not destroy their friendship by himself.
"Lao Jiu, a few days ago, you and Mu Bai went to secretly investigate, but did there be any result?" King Rui said in a deep voice.
"No, all the clues have been cleaned up and nothing can be found." King Huai lowered his head and said.
"You guys are really good, you didn't reveal a word from this king, and this king thought that you had found some clues, but you still have to continue to investigate." Rui Wang said lightly.
"Fifth brother, don't laugh at me, it's not that I don't want to check, it's really ......"
"That's it, if you can't find it, it can only mean that the other party has noticed it, so all the clues have been cleaned up in advance." Rui Wang said lightly.
"So what are we going to do next?" King Huai said worriedly.
"You all go and rest first, and I'm going to think about what I'm going to do next." After speaking, King Rui turned his wheelchair and left the hall......
