In the middle of the night, in the huge palace city, only the emperor's bedroom, Changle Palace, is still lit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Xu Houcong appeared in front of the palace gate with a person shrouded in a hooded black cloak, a middle-aged chamberlain who had been waiting there for a long time came forward, and then turned sideways to let the petite man in, and then looked at him directly. Xu Houcong was such a vigilant person, and immediately whispered: "I didn't hear anything tonight, I didn't see anything." ”

The middle-aged waiter was the one who went to visit Master Yue before. He raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "General Xu doesn't need to be careful, if someone inquires, you just say that someone visited Changying Palace at night and was killed by you on the spot." ”

Xu Houcong couldn't help but turn pale. It was because of the emperor's message that he let the man in black in, and then he took the man out. Now it's going to be said that you want to kill on the spot...... What about bloodstains? What about corpses? What about eyewitnesses? You can't just kill him, right?

was beating the drum in his heart, and when it was rare to be overwhelmed, he saw that the middle-aged waiter gave him a look, and immediately two attendants carried a sack and threw it directly in front of him. When it comes to this, if he doesn't know how to do it, he won't be the head of the Shengong Sect.

He immediately arched his hand, then strode forward and easily picked up the sack with one hand, and then turned and left without looking back.

Xu Houcong left, and the two people who had just carried the sack over suddenly came to the side of the middle-aged waiter.

"Fifth Master, don't you make it clear to him?"

"Say what? said that this guy in the sack was bribed, and he actually dared to drug Yue Zonghong's tea in the Southern Dynasty? The middle-aged waiter, who was called the fifth master, sneered, and said with extreme contempt, "Since you know who is behind this guy, let Xu Houcong kill people, and then let out the wind for dog-eat-dog outside." There are tigers in the mountains, can those monkeys be the overlord? ”

In the dormitory, when the middle-aged woman who took off her black cloak, changed into a black dress, and put on a regular dress came to the emperor, the emperor who was browsing the confidential transcripts one by one did not raise her head, but she did not dare to delay, and whispered in detail what had happened to Yue Qianqiu when she sneaked into Changying Palace. When she finished the report, she only heard the emperor casually ask, "Are you all done?" ”

Knowing the habits of this supreme, he has been in the deepest part of this Changle Palace for more than ten years, and he has almost never seen outsiders, and he can't help but tremble in his heart, but he still said respectfully: "It's over." ”

"You made two mistakes today." The emperor stretched out two fingers, and then raised his head, his eyes were already blazing, "First, you should tear off a piece of Yue Qianqiu's clothes desperately, regardless of whether you can see what is on his back or not." In this way, people can perceive your determination to achieve your goal as the maid of the former queen. ”

Seeing that Kang Le's face changed drastically, he hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, and the emperor bent a finger and said lightly: "Second, you shouldn't ask anything so smooth that there is not a mole, because then they know that you have already sneaked in and have been hiding on the roof to eavesdrop." But also, even if you lurk there before Yue Qianqiu goes back, the master and apprentice are both martial artists, so it is inevitable that you will already notice it. ”

Only then did Kang Le know that he had done something wrong, and he was ashamed for a while: "It's all slaves and maids who are in a hurry, and they can't bear the emperor's trust." ”

"You are one of the maids that Lele once valued the most, so she chose you and Ding An to follow from so many palace maids, and gave you her name."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and his face was finally no longer as calm as before, but looked a little indescribably irritable, "She is a person who always plans and then acts, and it is difficult for others to guess her intentions. I think that when Wen Po died, the tattoo artist was gone, and the guys from the Akikaji Division took poison before I cut them, I don't know until now, what is she going to do? ”

"Say that she hates me and is jealous of the favorite concubines one by one, others don't know, don't you know? She didn't care how many concubines I had, because she saw that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty was so controlled by the queen mother and ministers that he could only adopt a son for a time because he had no son, so after I ascended the throne, she had only one daughter, so she suggested that I take in concubines. In the years that followed, unless it was the concubine who provoked her, she never bothered to take a look. ”

It was also she who advised me to rise up and seek to usurp the throne. It was she who single-handedly seized the power of the Autumn Hunting Division after I ascended the throne, eradicated dissidents for me, and settled the country and the world. She saw me more as a partner in the governance of Dayan than as a husband. Therefore, I have always thought that Dayan has half of her, and she has never been willing to be a queen for so many years, because no one is worthy of this position...... But the time she gave birth, what happened, and what happened to her and my son! ”

Kang Le knew that the emperor just wanted to be listened to, not to be comforted, or explained. She is indeed one of the confidants of the former queen, however, before the first queen gave birth, she happened to be sent home by a sympathetic mistress to visit her because her mother was seriously ill, and after she came back, she heard that there were two corpses and two lives.

It was also she who watched the emperor open the coffin that had not yet been nailed, and even witnessed the emperor find that there was only one set of clothes inside, and he went crazy and cut down the three people who were in charge of the Aki Hunting Division at that time. Over the years, she has quietly left the palace and traveled all over Dayan, but the mother and son have not heard from them at all.

Therefore, when I saw the autumn hunting division dossier handed to her by the emperor before, and wrote that the young man was adopted by the second minister of the Southern Dynasty and his mother might be surnamed Ding, I only felt that the whole person was trembling, and my heart was even more fierce.

She was hesitating, but she only heard the emperor's sudden change of words.

"Ding An has also been nowhere to be seen all these years, no one has been seen in life, and no body has been seen in death. If it is said that people are in the Southern Dynasty, it is not impossible. Yue Qianqiu said to me before that because of the Golden Branch made up by Lou Yingchang, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty didn't know how many people he had sent to check his life experience, if it was Lele's plan, then others couldn't find out, it was possible. But ......"

The Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said word by word, "Why did she send her and my son to the south?" Even if I and her son were too young at the beginning, but the descendants were clearly distinguished, and I was still in the prime of life, why couldn't I give him the country? ”

This is a question that no one can avoid. Kang Le was also silent, and the answers that had appeared in her heart were gradually dispelled after she followed the emperor.

Because of the emperor's every move over the years, she can almost see it, even when she is out to visit, the emperor will give her the highest authority, if she wants, she can even control the civil and military affairs of the place she goes, let alone check the case file. So she didn't believe it, the emperor was jealous of the queen, so the mother and son were still alive and dead.

Although the queen once trained them in the palace, she was secretly in charge of the Autumn Hunting Division, held half of the power of the forbidden army, won the support of the generals, and occasionally quarreled with the emperor in government affairs, but did not interfere in any other court affairs, it can be said that the couple has always been moving forward together, and there is no irreconcilable contradiction.

And Xiao Jingxian, who was still a relative at that time, did not show the talent that he was later called the Lanling Demon King. As for the queen's other uncles and brothers, they all seem to have a very high status, but they don't have very much real power.

As for the concubine and the crown prince, it was just an eye-catching ornament that was pushed to the front of the stage by the couple.

Just when Kang Le only felt that her mood was extremely entangled, she heard the emperor's voice: "You go to see Xiao Si'er." You tell him that Yue Qianqiu told me all about his plan for Li Daitaozhuang, and then you tell him that you went to test the young man tonight. You ask him, what happened back then, does he want an explanation, if he wants, he will take out the momentum of the former Lanling Demon King. Today, I handed over the assassination in front of the old counselor's door! ”

When Kang Le finally stood up and retreated, the emperor rubbed his temples in annoyance, and suddenly missed the woman he had never forgotten after meeting him by chance, so he tried his best to forcibly marry back.

The reason why it was said to be forcible was because she didn't plan to marry at all, and when he first saw her, she disguised herself as a man and planned to join the army, and she recited a Mulan poem to him with great eloquence.

Then they had misunderstandings, fate, dependence, and the end of the world...... He was distraught to think that she had disappeared with his son after a childbirth that he had hitherto found incredible.

With her ability, not to mention the mother and son of the concubine and the crown prince who are now deposed, all the concubines and princes are added together, and even he, the emperor, may not be able to really get her. In that case, what is the truth of what happened back then? If Yue Qianqiu was not the child back then, why did she reveal so many clues related to her?

Is it really just a conspiracy of the Southern Dynasties?

Did Xiao Jing first see that kind of similarity before making this decision, or was it just a whim? Or does his brother-in-law, who never plays cards according to common sense, know anything at all?

In the Changying Palace that night, although most of them were not aware of the uninvited guests, most of the Wu Dynasty envoys did not sleep well.

Maybe Yue Qianqiu has such and such shortcomings, but along the way, the accompanying officials and guards still have a good impression of this sub-adoptive grandson who is envious of the folk rumors. There is no noble son's shelf, he speaks kindly, treats people casually, and most importantly, the fresh and sincere youthful atmosphere is completely different from the necessary temperament of a hero who wins people's hearts.

Although it is not that no one doubts that Yue Qianqiu is commensurate with the father and son of the Emperor of Beiyan, and now he wants to send back some of the people in the mission, which is convenient for him to defect and stay in Beiyan on another day, but Yue Qianqiu openly refused the emperor's promise to marry the princess at the court meeting, and even did not hesitate to use Su Wu as an analogy, this news has spread wildly in the palace.

Therefore, this little suspicion does not grow well after it has just sprouted.

And early in the morning, after Yue Qianqiu washed up, he brought Zhen Rong and Qingfengnian little monkeys to breakfast, and then said bluntly: "Yesterday, in the name of Emperor Beiyan, I ordered a hundred ginseng with the most sufficient year in Lao Shentang, but before I could negotiate, I was disturbed by a group of traitors. ”

The little monkey exclaimed, "One hundred! Is this using ginseng as a turnip? ”

Yue Qianqiu ignored this fuss and said to himself: "Although the purpose of doing business there is to deliver goods to the door, I can imagine that the palace is not a place for people to come to the door casually, not to mention that the traitors have just gone there to make trouble." So, you guys go out with me today, go find the person who paid first, and then go and get the ginseng back first! ”

Without waiting for one of the three to refuse, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you run away in vain, I'll give you ten sticks per person." If you can't eat so much yourself, you might as well send it to your brothers and elders in the future, and those who practice martial arts need medicinal herbs to replenish qi and blood the most! ”
