Chapter 331: Substitute for the Dead Ghost
In a courtyard with only one palace, there is a crooked neck tree, and there is a plain-clothed woman standing below, and there are few pearls on her head, only to see that her face is slightly sad, and there is a fierce light in her eyes, she holds a handkerchief, looks up at the tree in front of her, and looks at the scenery that she doesn't know where.
The old lady came over with a plate of pastries, and her wrinkled face looked very sad.
"Concubine Hui, this is what the old slave just brought from the imperial dining room, you can eat some."
Concubine Hui's eyes were gloomy, and then she turned to look at the old grandmother behind her, her words were a little cold, and she said: "Mama, since the day I was in the cold palace, I am no longer Concubine Hui, and in the future, I will be called Xia Chang, there are many people in the palace, don't let people hold the handle." ”
Summer is always in ......
I think she has been in the harem for many years, and once she stumbles, she has to start again.
Since she was released from the cold palace, her temperament has become more and more cautious, and she is very strict in every word and action, but fortunately, there is a mother's power to maintain it in the court.
"Yes, always, what are you going to do now?" The old lady looked at the courtyard out of the pavilion, and there was a sadness in her heart, and the lively and prosperous courtyard in the past had become much quieter.
Xia Changzai squinted his eyes and said, "Mama, help Bengong pick out a good-looking dress, Bengong will dress up and wear hairpins." ”
Seeing Concubine Hui like this, this old lady seemed to see Concubine Hui in the past, her cloudy eyes lit up, and then she nodded heavily.
Then, Xia Chang deliberately stayed on the only way for the eunuchs to go down, and then told her mother's family about what she thought in her heart, and she wanted to make a comeback.
Within a few days, Xia Changzai took several good-looking women from his mother's family and dedicated them to the emperor on the grounds of performing dance skills.
The dancing pavilion, singing and dancing, the graceful posture of the woman and the melodious tune are a gorgeous spring scene, and then look at the emperor sitting on the throne, it is a little drunk to appreciate.
"Good, good!" The Emperor applauded with joy.
Xia Chang was sitting on the side, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, looking at the emperor's appearance, he was very satisfied.
The emperor stepped down from his position, walked to the woman who was leading the dance, put his arm around her waist, sniffed the fragrance of the woman, and pulled her towards the cabinet.
"Alright, let's all step down." Xia Chang was looking at the back of the emperor leaving with the beauty in his arms, not only was he not jealous and angry, but he evoked a smile.
The other women who were presented to the emperor by Xia Changzai all made court dancers, and one of them was favored by the emperor, and the next day he was named a nobleman.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Xia Chang is virtuous and graceful, and he is hereby named Xia Concubine." Gonggong Li holds a bright yellow concerto.
Xia Chang was kneeling down to thank him, with an aura of raising eyebrows in his eyes.
This was the first step in her decision to compete for favor.
Then, Gonggong Li waved his sleeves, and the eunuchs came in with all kinds of ceremonial trays, as well as all kinds of pastries and satins.
In another palace, Concubine Xian supported her head with one hand, and the aromatherapy stove next to her only made her a little bored, and now Concubine Hui not only did not get into the cold palace, but also used her strength to dedicate the daughter of her family to the emperor.
And Concubine Xian naturally knew that Concubine Hui wanted to make a comeback.
And Xia Concubine's method did work, if she returned to Concubine Hui's position again, it would be a big trouble to deal with.
"Spread the King of Wei to see the palace." She finally decided to summon Wei Xuanyun to discuss the matter together.
"Yes, sissy." The palace maid nodded, then stepped back and walked out.
With just a stick of incense, Wei Xuanyun arrived.
Concubine Xian's face was not good-looking, she didn't expect Concubine Hui to be so stubborn, and she would be able to make a comeback after the last incident.
Wei Xuanyun saw Concubine Xian's worries, and the two planned to think about it in the long run.
"Concubine Xia is not easy to deal with, King Wei, you must be careful of her methods, these days she is trying her best to recommend beauties to the emperor, obviously also wants to consolidate her position in the harem." Concubine Xian said with a serious face, and her words were a little cold.
Wei Xuanyun nodded and said, "These days, the ministers will be staring at Xia Concubine. ”
At this moment, there was a figure standing at the veil of the outer pavilion, and after hearing the conversation between the two, she crept away quietly.
Concubine Xian and Wei Xuanyun discussed the matter of dealing with Xia Concubine In this way, someone who was interested informed Xia Concubine.
Xia Concubine disguised herself as a palace maid that day and went out of the palace to find the second prince.
But when she came to the Spring Tower to find the second prince, she was obviously a little surprised, the second prince who was high in the past has now become a prostitute, and the whole person looks very depressed.
"Which gust of wind blew you, Concubine Hui, ......?" The second prince took a pot of wine and squinted his eyes and took a few sips.
Xia Concubine smiled: "The second prince really doesn't listen to things outside the window, and only reads sage books, and now I am no longer Concubine Hui." ”
The second prince laughed loudly, and his smile was a little weird.
Then, Concubine Xia looked at the bewitching women beside the second prince and motioned for them to leave, "Second prince, this palace has something to say to you." ”
The second prince squinted at Xia Concubine, and then waved his hand to let these girls leave.
"The second prince is now reduced to a people's husband, this is all thanks to Wei Xuanyun and Lan Xuan'er, is the second prince willing to live here for the rest of his life?" Xia Concubine had a meaningful smile on her face.
Then, her words changed, and the words were sharp: "It's better to cooperate with this palace and eradicate them in one fell swoop." ”
The second prince picked up the wine glass, took a sip of it, and then thought about it, then threw the wine glass on the ground, stood up and looked at Xia Concubine firmly.
So, the second prince and Xia Concubine reached a cooperation.
After Xia Concubine left, the second prince couldn't wait to call Xiao Ran, she had been lurking in the Wei Mansion for a long time, and now was the time when the second prince needed her.
But the second prince didn't know that Xiao Ran had rebelled into Lan Xuan'er's person.
He stood beside Xiao Ran and whispered his plan in her ear, and after finishing speaking, he smiled weirdly:
"Xiao Ran, raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, after this matter is done, I will release your brother, but if it can't be done, you and your poor brother can only meet on Huangquan Road." The second prince hooked Xiao Ran's chin with a threatening tone.
After Xiao Ran heard this, his heart trembled.
I had to shiver and nodded: "Please rest assured, master." ”
"Alright, go back and do what I say." The second prince patted Xiao Ran's shoulder, the gentleness in his eyebrows and eyes was fleeting, and then turned around indifferently.
After returning to the Wei Palace, Xiao Ran told Lan Wan'er about it, so she gave Lan Wan'er a cup of tea, "Girl." ”
Lan Wan'er hooked her eyes and looked at Xiao Ran, she already knew that Xiao Ran was acting, so she took the teacup, there was actually no medicine in it, everything was to cover the sight of the second prince.
Lan Wan'er finished the cup of tea, and then fell to the ground at once.
Xiao Ran followed the instructions of the second prince and took Lan Xuan'er to a broken thatched house on the outskirts of Beijing.
"Girl, where are the people? Is there really such a good thing? Not only can you enjoy the beauty, but also the silver? A few street bastards followed Xiao Ran, chattering and asking.
Xiao Ran said of course, so he took a group of street bastards to the thatched house.
"What a beauty!"
Seeing Lan Wan'er's peerless face, the bastards licked the corners of their mouths one by one, and stretched out their hands to walk towards Lan Wan'er with their teeth and claws.
"Beauty......! Here we go...... Hey, hey, hey......"
At this time, Lan Wan'er woke up, took out a dagger and looked at the few people in front of her, she gestured to Xiao Ran's eyes, and suddenly a group of soldiers came out of the thatched house.
"What's going on?" As soon as the bastards wanted to turn their heads, they found that the thatched hut was already full of government soldiers, so they had to raise their hands and surrender.
These bastards were deceived, but they couldn't escape if they wanted to.
So Lan Wan'er took down the bastard and told the emperor.
The emperor was furious when he learned about this incident, and he didn't expect that someone would actually want to murder Lan Xuan'er in broad daylight, and this method made the emperor even more angry, so he sent someone to investigate this matter thoroughly.
Du Cha, who participated in the investigation of the case this time, was bribed by the second prince, and took the benefits of others, so he naturally wanted to do things for him.
Du Cha was wearing a red official uniform, and specially came to see the emperor, "Your Majesty, the Lan Wan'er incident has been secretly investigated, and it is Xiao Ran, the maid of the Wei Palace, who has won the trust of Princess Luo Li and Lan Wan'er, which stunned Lan Wan'er, and then instructed that group of people to defile Lan Wan'er." ”
After hearing this, the emperor was angry, stroked his beard and said, "Chen Ducha, arrest Xiao Ran immediately now." ”
As a result, Xiao Ran was imprisoned in prison.
After Wei Xuanyun heard about this incident, he always felt that someone must be behind this matter, and Xiao Ran was also very well-behaved in the mansion on weekdays, not like a person who would do such a thing.
In the teahouse, the figures of two men are reflected on the white window grease paper.
"Lan Xuan'er, you go and investigate it secretly."
Wei Xuan instructed his subordinates in Dali Temple to find out the matter.
His intuition told him that this matter must have something to do with Xia Concubine, after all, Xia Concubine had just made a comeback and was on the cusp.
"Subordinates obey."
Within half a day, he got the message, only to see that the subordinate's face was not good-looking, and finally told him that it was the second prince and Xia Concubine and others who did it.
After Wei Xuanyun learned the truth of the matter, he was about to enter the palace to inform the emperor, and then release Xiao Ran.
He was sitting on the sedan chair, just about to go in the direction of the palace, but at this time, the cold wind blocked Wei Xuanyun's way, "Lord Wang, my subordinates learned that Xiao Ran had committed suicide by hitting the wall in the prison. ”
"What?" When Wei Xuanyun heard the news, his eyebrows were gloomy.
Then, due to the lack of evidence in Wei Xuanyun's hands now, Xia Concubine was not punished in any way, but Xiao Ran, a clever girl, did a substitute for the dead ghost for no reason.
