Chapter 235: It's a Man or a Ghost
Ten days have passed in a flash, Cao Ju has been in prison for ten days, and Empress Dowager He ordered Yuan Shu to lead troops to search everywhere in Luoyang City, but he has not been able to find Huang Zhong's whereabouts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because he was not convicted, Cao Ju was still a concubine, and the jailer naturally did not dare to neglect him, otherwise, if 10,000 Cao Ju were not guilty, the jailer would be destroyed.
Liu Mu, the princess of Wannian, had visited Cao Ju three times, and on the night of Cao Ju's imprisonment, Liu Mu went once, and again the next day. As a result, this matter was told to Yuan Shu by Yuan Shu's subordinates, and Yuan Shu told the Empress Dowager He, who ordered that Liu Mu only visit Cao Ju every five days.
This time the prison disaster is completely different from the one in Qiaocheng, not only was he whipped every day before, but his life was in danger, but this time he is an uncle, he eats and drinks well, and even the door of the cell is open, Cao Ju can come and go at will, but he can't get out of the prison door.
The palace prison was no more imprisoned than some eunuchs or palace maids who had made mistakes, and the only assassin, Qu Mu, was also released.
At that time, when Qu Mu was imprisoned, his apprentices were implicated and imprisoned, but they also saved their lives in the rebellion of the Ten Standing Servants, so that almost all the eunuchs who survived in the palace were Qu Mu's people, so the news in the palace was known by Qu Mu so quickly.
Every two days, a palace maid came over to help Cao Ju change his clothes and take away the old clothes for cleaning.
The same is true tonight, but Cao Ju was surprised to find that this palace maid was not the same as before, but a different person, and she turned out to be like a fairy, and Cao Ju felt that this palace maid was not young, at least in her twenties.
This is not counting, the most important thing is that the temperament of this palace maid is definitely not something that a palace maid can have, but it is somewhat similar to Empress Dowager He.
Seeing Cao Ju looking herself up and down, with a look of doubt and vigilance on her face, the palace maid smiled slightly and said, "The concubine is really powerful, and it is easy to see through the identity of the mourning family." ”
"Mourning?" Cao Ju was shocked in his heart, who else can call himself a mourner in the palace, except for the current emperor's biological mother, Empress Dowager He, who else is this woman.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in Cao Ju's mind, and it appeared that before Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Empress Dowager He had to agree to let Liu Xie ascend the throne, and a bold idea suddenly jumped out of his mind, and blurted out three words: "Wang Meiren." ”
A flash of appreciation flashed in the palace maid's eyes, and she nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it is the mourning family." ”
"...... you" It was night at this time, and the lights in the prison were not too bright, Cao Ju instinctively had a trace of fear in his heart, and asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?" ”
Wang Meiren sighed and said: "The mourning family should have been a ghost a long time ago, but it should not be killed, and it has survived to this day." ”
Unexpectedly, Liu Xie's biological mother Wang Meiren did not die, Cao Ju's mind was a little confused, he didn't understand that under the persecution of Empress Dowager He, how could Wang Meiren escape, and she could still be incognito in the palace for nearly ten years.
Wang Meiren said: "The concubine must be strange, how did the mourning family escape the poisonous hands of the He family, and how did they stay incognito in the palace for many years? ”
Cao Ju nodded and said, "Yes, Juzheng has this question." ”
Wang Meiren said: "In the past, the He family favored the palace, although the emperor did not care who favored anyone, but no one was allowed to get pregnant and give birth to a child, once a concubine was pregnant, the He family would send a fetal medicine, if not, He would be killed, this is why the emperor's heirs are so few." ”
On that day, the mourning family was pregnant with the dragon species, and they were naturally worried about the persecution of the He family, so they were ready to take medicine to kill the fetus, but they didn't want the fetus to move at all. Later, the mourning family dreamed many times that walking with the sun on their backs was an auspicious omen, so they stopped having a baby. After October, the mourning family gave birth to Xie'er, which naturally aroused the anger of the He family, and he was desperate to poison the mourning family. ”
"The mourning family is a native of Handan, Zhao State, grandfather Wang Bao, and the official to the five senses. Soon after the mourning family became pregnant, she asked her grandfather Wang Bao to find a person among the people, who was six or seven points similar in appearance to the mourning family, pretending to be the mourning family, which deceived the ears and eyes of the He family. ”
"After the mourning family gave birth, the He family sent minions to Changjing Palace with poison to forcibly poison the mourning family. Unexpectedly, the person who was poisoned to death was a substitute for the mourning family, and the mourning family escaped the catastrophe and did not die. After this incident, even the emperor was concealed, and the mourning family naturally could no longer show their heads, so they could only live incognito and survive as palace maids. ”
Cao Ju was extremely strange, and couldn't help asking: "Niangniang, since this is the case, why doesn't Niangniang go to the emperor to make the decision?" ”
Wang Meiren smiled bitterly and said: "The power of the He family is already in his hands, if the emperor is angry with the He family because of the mourning family, causing the rebellion of the He family, the mourning family is not a sinner of the Han Dynasty." Moreover, there is also Xie'er, the mourning family can't help but think about it, so they can only hide their names and look for opportunities. ”
Cao Ju's heart moved and asked, "Niangniang, don't you want Lone to deal with Empress Dowager He?" ”
"Not bad." Wang Meiren nodded and said, "That's right, the horse shoots the general He Jin, and the queen mother is not allowed, if you don't get rid of that slut, the horse will be killed sooner or later." ”
Cao Ju smiled slightly and said: "Why is Niangniang so confident, Lone will promise Niangniang to join forces to deal with Empress Dowager He, but do you know that Lone will not tell Empress Dowager He?" In other words, Lone did not shoot He Jin, and sooner or later the matter will be found out by the Empress Dowager He, and Lone will naturally be safe at that time. ”
Wang Meiren sneered and said: "The horse is wrong, the person who shoots He Jin will also kill the horse, although the He family does not have full evidence, but it has been determined that this matter will kill the horse sooner or later." The horse is a human being, and the mourning family has heard it clearly, if not, how can it be clear that its identity is before the horse? ”
Cao Ju secretly praised Wang Meiren's shrewdness in his heart, far from being comparable to the Empress Dowager He, so he smiled slightly: "Niangniang has no power to help her, and she takes risks to help Niangniang take revenge, I don't know what the benefit is?" ”
Wang Meiren said lightly: "The one who mourns the family is to kill the He family for revenge, and the one who is the horse is the emperor's hegemony, I don't know how?" ”
Cao Ju did not deny his ambition, and said with a slight smile: "Even if what Niangniang said is very true, even if he has the heart to avenge Niangniang, even if he can take revenge, he is a teacher who is nameless, and after killing the king, he will be infamous for all generations." ”
Wang Meiren smiled proudly and said: "Although the concubine can rest assured, the mourning family can guarantee that the concubine's move is a legacy for the ages, and the teacher is famous." ”
Cao Ju was stunned for a moment and asked, "Could it be that Niangniang has a good plan?" ”
Wang Meiren nodded and said: "Yes, the concubine knows that when the emperor was dying, the edict was to let Xie'er ascend the throne, not that Liu Yanye." (To be continued.) )
