Chapter 116: After the Abolition (I)

In the dead of night, two figures stood opposite each other in the pavilion, whispering. At some point, the moon was half obscured by the clouds, and the surroundings suddenly became dim. The woman in the cloak approached Qing Ruxu and whispered in her ear, "I want you...... Help the case to be overturned after the abolition! ”

Qing Ruxu raised his head in astonishment and looked at the other party's beautiful and mysterious eyes, "Help the queen...... Reverse a verdict? ”

She didn't say anything about the rebellion of the Liu family, obviously she didn't overturn the case for the Liu family, did she mean that she was framing the former queen after the abolition? "You mean, the abolition queen is innocent and framed?"

"That's right, Liu Zhaoyi, the abolished queen, did not harm Queen Chunrong, the murderer behind the scenes, and there are others!"

Some time ago, Qing Ruxu also talked to Song Ying about the three queens of Emperor Zhaoren because of the birth of a daughter in the cold palace after the abolition, and she also knew a lot about the death of Queen Chunrong.

She is the palace of Emperor Zhaoren when he was with his side, gentle and obedient, quite favored by the emperor, after entering the palace for Jieyu, after the death of the imperial concubine was set up as the queen, and then she was pregnant, often unwell, and many aspects of conditioning did not improve, until the birth blood collapsed, and the fragrance was scattered.

It didn't take long for the daughter of the great Sima Liu Boling to enter the palace, but within half a year, Empress Liu was found to be related to the death of Queen Chunrong and was deposed.

"Since you call it 'overturned', it means that you can be sure of your innocence after the abolition?"

"I can assure you that the queen is innocent." The woman's voice was categorical, without a hint of hesitation, giving a sense of 100% certainty.

Shouldn't it be only me who can make such an affirmation?

Qing Ruxu looked at the woman silently for a moment, and for a moment, she even felt that the woman in front of her was the queen of the abolition, but she immediately vetoed it, Liu Zhaoyi was in the cold palace at this time, how could he hide the eyes and ears of all parts of the palace, break through the guards, and run around unknowingly......

However, since she asked herself to help the Waste Queen, she must have an unusually close connection with the Waste Queen......

"I can go and find out what happened after the abolition, but I won't fully trust your words, I will only try my best to find out the truth."

"That's enough." The woman seemed to see the doubts in her heart, and said, "I know you must have a lot of questions to ask, but today, I have answered a question for you, and if you want to know more, try your best to complete the task at hand in exchange for the answer." ”

Qing Ruxu was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Good ......"

The woman didn't say anything more, just took a few steps back, jumped over, and fell down from the high pavilion! Qingru was taken aback, and hurriedly leaned over to look, but she didn't even see a corner of her clothes.

She took a deep breath, saw the string of bellflowers that had fallen to the ground, bent down and reached out to pick it up, and muttered, "Waste queen ......"

………………

With Leng Lingyu taking care of him, Xue Yun's injuries quickly stabilized, because there was no damage to the organs, so the symptoms were mild, and now it was just because of broken ribs, the stability of the chest was damaged, and the breathing restriction was very uncomfortable, and he did not dare to cough violently.

Xue Yun is an active person, so the time is even more difficult, and when he thinks that he will have to travel for at least three months, he feels that he has nothing to love...... This will be in the palace, with Qing Ruxu and others by her side, she was reluctant to lie on the bed honestly and not move.

Everyone was bored, so they chatted about the strange things in the capital, and Qing Ruxu thought that he was carrying a "heavy responsibility", so he deliberately led the topic to the abolished queen. "You say, what does the emperor mean by taking the sixteenth princess out of the cold palace? Looking at the way he looks, he seems to care about this princess's ......"

"Yes, if you don't care, no matter how sick she is, she just asks someone to come and see her, how can she go to visit a few times in person!"

There are a lot of princesses in the palace, but there are few who can be favored by the emperor, and the unfavored concubines often don't see the emperor for several years, let alone the princesses they give birth to.

"I also heard that the queen proposed to send the sixteenth princess to the palace of concubines, but the emperor vetoed it. Could it be that after the sixteenth princess recovers from her illness, she will be sent back to the cold palace? ”

"It's a bit strange...... Qingru thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know what kind of person Empress Liu was before she was deposed?" ”

Song Ying shook his head: "I don't know...... My mom and dad rarely told me about these things, and I didn't ask too much......"

Xue Yun lay there, her voice was weak, and said: "I heard my mother say that when Empress Liu was in the boudoir, she was a very smart, lively and likable person, and her popularity was also very good. Later, when she was deposed for murdering Queen Chunrong, many people came forward to speak for her, but because the evidence was conclusive, the emperor took action against the Liu family again, and everyone saw the direction of the wind and did not dare to speak for Queen Liu anymore. ”

Speak for Empress Liu again, if it is found out that Empress Liu is innocent, what reason will the emperor have to weaken the Liu family? This series of chain reactions is not only about Empress Liu murdering Empress Chunrong, but also involves the struggle between the imperial power and her relatives, so everyone died down and allowed the gaffe to develop.

No one knows whether the emperor pushed the boat down the river or was the initiator.

In Qing Ruxu's impression, the emperor is a very open-minded person, who rarely uses unbearable means to maintain imperial power, but the affairs of relatives have been the emperor's heart disease since ancient times, and she really can't say whether Emperor Zhaoren, who is under the emperor's power, will sacrifice the two queens to suppress the Liu family......

Presumably, this is also a doubt in the minds of most people.

But the cloak man didn't seem to think so, if she thought that this matter was deliberately done by Emperor Zhaoren and set a trap to deal with the Liu family, she didn't need to let her find out the truth, so the cloaked man thought that there was another hidden secret in this, hiding the real murderer who murdered Queen Chunrong and blamed Queen Liu.

If there is someone else, who will it be?

It must be someone who has benefited a lot from this.

Qing Ruxu thought thoughtfully, although Emperor Zhaoren had enough motives, the biggest beneficiary of this matter was not only Emperor Zhaoren. According to the follow-up of the development of events, the two people who have the motivation and benefit the most are Emperor Zhaoren and Empress Chen......

At that time, the Chen family exposed the Liu family's rebellion, and the daughter of the Chen family, that is, Chen Shufei at that time, also won the queen's throne in one fell swoop.

So, there are two biggest possibilities for the whole thing. One is that Queen Liu really murdered Queen Chunrong in order to enter the middle palace, and the emperor pushed the boat to clean up the Liu family.

The second possibility is that the Chen family has insight into the emperor's intentions, and frames Empress Liu as he likes, providing the emperor with an opportunity to clean up the Liu family, and then taking the opportunity to push Concubine Chen Shu to the throne.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there is still a possibility that I have not thought of, but Qing Ruxu only has these clues at this time, and she must start with the Chen family.

………………

In the early snow of November, Li Xiao'er, the sixteenth daughter of the emperor, was officially awarded the title of Chonghua in the Xuanzheng Hall and lived in the Xianju Palace.

"Princess Chonghua?" In Zhengyang Palace, Empress Chen slowly lowered her eyes and repeated in a low voice.

Beside her, Princess Hanyuan sat on one side with the sixth prince Li Qi (min), quietly looked up at her queen mother, and stopped talking.

"Back to the Queen, yes." Shen Dexi said respectfully. He is always accompanied by Emperor Zhaoren's small chamberlain, although not as powerful as Yang De'an, the former head of the palace, but he is also a figure that cannot be ignored, at this moment, he is kneeling under the queen's seat to reply.

Empress Chen's fingernails clasped her palms fiercely, it was the most difficult to guess the emperor's heart, she didn't even know when the emperor had been to the cold palace, and she was fortunate to be abolished, but since the emperor recognized this little princess, there was naturally such a thing.

The hall was silent for a while, and Shen Dexi's head hung deeply, obviously knowing that Empress Chen's heart was angry.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed on Empress Chen's bright face, and then she calmed down and returned to her usual dignified and graceful appearance, "You go back first." ”

Shen Dexi lowered his head and said "yes".

"Han Yuan, what was it like when your father first saw Li Xiao'er that day?"

"At that time, her condition was very bad, she was sweating profusely and couldn't wake up, and she was held by the palace people waiting for someone in front of the Bixiao Palace, her father's brows were furrowed, and she couldn't hide her surprise, so she immediately called the imperial doctor to come for treatment." Princess Hanyuan's temperament was not as strong as that of Empress Chen, and she looked at her queen mother with worry on her face at this time, at a loss.

That day, Emperor Zhaoren was taking the school Li Qi's homework, and Princess Hanyuan was also on the side, and when he heard the news sent by the palace people in a hurry, Emperor Zhaoren was very shocked, and he didn't even notice that she also followed her to Bixiao Palace. Princess Hanyuan saw an old palace maid standing at the gate of the palace with Li Xiao'er in her arms, and was stopped waiting for news.

Empress Chen's face turned slightly pale when she heard this, her lips trembled uncontrollably, and Li Qi on the side noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, and shouted "Queen Mother" in a shrunken manner.

Empress Chen tilted her head slightly, looked at her only son, and her face softened a lot: "Qi'er." She walked a few steps and crouched down in front of her eight-year-old son, looking relieved, "Fortunately, it's just a daughter, and it won't threaten my son's status!" ”

Even if the emperor has been to the cold palace and is fortunate to be abolished, does she still want to turn over again?

In the snow, the Da'an Palace is full of treachery, but the people of the capital only use it as a conversation after tea and dinner, and they are interested in discussing the Chonghua princess who suddenly came out of the Dajing Dynasty, most people do not know her origin, and they have guessed that it is the daughter raised by a certain unfavored mother, who has not been able to see the face of the sky, and was accidentally seen and favored by the emperor, and once flew into the clouds. Even the eleventh and fourteenth princesses, the most favored princesses in the palace, were overshadowed and directly had titles.

The fourteenth princess didn't say anything when she heard these rumors, she always disdained to deliberately compete for favor. But the eleventh princess is not so comfortable in her heart, a little bit after the abolition of the abolition, she actually has a title in front of her, and she has won everyone's attention as soon as she appears, why?

Is Li Xiao'er a descendant? The one born after the abolition is really a princess?!

But the emperor directly gave the title, which clearly recognized Li Xiao'er's identity!
