Wanrong saw that the emperor listened attentively, and secretly rejoiced in her heart, and continued slowly: "In addition to the above two statements, there is another sensational theory quietly circulating in the palace, it is said that the concubine mother and daughter heard the news that the emperor sent someone to summon the king of Jiangling to return to Beijing, and they were worried that the emperor would be unfavorable to the king of Jiangling, so they warned with death to prevent the king of Jiangling from returning to Chang'an. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info these three kinds of rumors, either open or hidden, the emperor must have heard of them. ”

"Why, listening to Concubine Ai's voice, is there a fourth rumor?" The emperor was so amused by grace that he finally asked.

The more Wanrong saw that the emperor was anxious to listen to the following, the more calm she became. She glanced at Jing Xuan who was sitting beside her, and saw that she looked thoughtful, as if she was not listening to what she said at all, so she deliberately delayed, not in a hurry to say the fourth rumor, and asked the emperor instead: "Speaking of these three rumors, if according to the first type, the concubine mother and daughter should be loyal and martyred, and their deeds are enough for the historian to write the biography of the virgin and pass on for centuries; If according to the second type, because he was angry that Li Jinzhong advocated sending troops to recruit and suppress the king of Jiangling, although he was a little vicious, it was still a common person's thoughts, and His Majesty did not need to delve into right and wrong; Only this third statement, if this is the case, then the concubine mother and daughter will inevitably harbor evil intentions and be suspected of rebellion. The concubine dared to ask the emperor, which of the three statements do you think is closer to the truth? ”

The emperor stared at Wanrong with blazing eyes, unable to hide the surprise in his heart, and praised her repeatedly: "Concubine Ai analyzes and discerns, what she said coincides with Mr. Liu's solution in the Yanying Hall a few days ago. I can't imagine that the insight and wisdom of these two concubines are no less than those of today's resourceful people, and they can solve my worries and problems. As for the cause of the death of the concubine's mother and daughter, and what happened to the plotter, at present, there is no conclusion in my heart. Concubine Ai might as well tell the kind of rumors that I have never heard of so far, and let's consider it together. ”

"The concubine has the courage to ask the emperor for permission first. Then he will explain the fourth rumor to the emperor. Wanrong said, actually stood up from the seat, bent down and knelt down in front of the emperor, his face full of grievances.

The emperor was still excited to unexpectedly find two "strategists" in the harem who could discuss the government with him. Seeing this situation, he also got up, stretched out his hands to help Wanrong, and asked with concern: "Look at Concubine Ai's face is so ugly, isn't there any grievance?" Tell me about it. I have my own concubine to call the shots. ”

"The concubine doesn't know how to elevate, and once again implore the emperor to give the concubine another title, even if she is demoted to a concubine, the concubine is willing."

When the emperor heard this, he was puzzled at first, but after a little thought, he roughly guessed the reason, and said with a smile: "Concubine Ai must be disgusted with the title and the same as the concubine, and feel unlucky, yes or no?" A little bit. What a concern. In the previous dynasty, there were all people who were virtuous and unvirtuous, and the concubines were not virtuous, did they have to change their titles one by one? ”

The emperor's smile made Wanrong even more annoyed in her heart, and she blushed and argued: "It's not that the concubines don't understand these truths. But Your Majesty doesn't know, these days, the ears of the concubines are full of words that Concubine Li is dead and Concubine Li is gone, so how can the concubines not feel unlucky! For the sake of auspiciousness and wishful thinking, the concubine also asked His Majesty to re-give the title. If Your Majesty refuses to agree today, the concubines, the concubines will kneel in this hall and not get up. ”

"Good, good, good, I promise you. How about discussing this later? The Emperor was bent on hearing what the fourth rumor was about. Said perfunctorily with a smile.

"King Mu! Your Majesty, is there any news from King Mu? Jing Xuan, who was in deep thought, asked.

"What?" The emperor's attention was focused on Wanrong at the moment, and he was asked coldly by Jing Xuan, and he hadn't come back to his senses yet.

Jing Xuan's mind flashed. But Jue's eyes lit up, and he continued to ask the emperor: "Did the envoy sent to Gangneung City to deliver the edict tell His Majesty about the news of King Mu after returning to the court?" ”

Almost without thinking, the Emperor replied, "Qi'er's safety is a top priority, and I naturally want to ask about it. According to the envoy, as soon as he arrived in Gangneung City, the news of the death of the concubine's mother and daughter followed, and the king of Gangneung only said to him that he would return to Beijing for funeral. He screamed, cried and fainted, and fell unconscious.

He also asked the governor of the Gangneung Palace, Shi, where King Mu was now, and offered to return to the court with King Mu. However, the long history said that it was rumored that King Jiangling had been placed under house arrest for no reason, and that King Mu was purely a person with ulterior motives who intended to frame him. According to him, it turned out that King Mu was ordered to go south to Tubo and pass through Jiangling some time ago, because he took a fancy to a beautiful singer in Jiangling City, so he ignored the repeated persuasion of King Jiangling and insisted on staying for a few days. Three days before the arrival of my envoys in Gangneung Castle, King Mu had left Gangneung Castle on his own and set out for Raksha Castle.

If what he said was true, then why did Zeng Qing flee back to the capital alone to report that King Jiangling had left King Mu Qiang in the city? I have consulted Mr. Liu and several other close ministers on this matter, but because the matter involves the safety of the emperor's eldest son, no one dares to determine the truth of this matter. According to Concubine Ai's opinion, Zeng Qing and the governor of the Jiangling Palace, which one is more credible? ”

Jing Xuan listened carefully to the emperor's narration, and his face became gloomy again. She vaguely felt that King Jiangling seemed to be deliberately making a show to the court envoys, but due to the lack of sufficient evidence in her hands, she hesitated, and it was inconvenient to question it publicly, so she only muttered: "Concubine Rong think again, Concubine Rong think again." ”

Seeing this, the emperor knew that she had not thought it through, so he had to turn his attention back to Wanrong.

After listening to the question and answer between the emperor and Jing Xuan, Wanrong said: "If the fourth rumor about the cause of the death of the concubine's mother and daughter is true, then it can be inferred from this that who said it is true and who said it is false." ”

This time, even Jingxuan was also attracted by her words, staring intently, looking forward to her continuing.

"My sister is the same as my sister, she is in the harem all day, haven't you heard the news that five palace people in the Shangyi Bureau died of illness overnight?" Wanrong asked Jing Xuan first.

"I've heard of it, but it's not very real, I only heard Jinping and them talk about it, it seems to say that the 'Jinggong Errand Room' has just started to run errands in the palace Not long after, there are five palace people in the Shangyi Bureau who were infected with malaria and died of illness in one night. Oh, it seems to be the night before the death of the concubine's mother and daughter. Is there something hidden in this? ”

The emperor interrupted the two of them and asked sharply: "There is such a big thing in the palace, up and down, why hasn't anyone played it to me!" (To be continued.) )
