334 Exposure (2 Shifts)
How could it be...... She?
Gu Changqing said incredulously: "She...... The line stabbed Jiaojiao...... What happened to the Marshal's Mansion and the Hou Mansion before? ”
The old sacrificial wine knew about this, after all, when Gu Changqing escaped from prison to come to see Gu Yan, it was the old sacrificial wine who put Gu Changqing into the house.
The old priest said: "Although there is no evidence for that incident, but from the perspective of motives, it does look like her." Except for her, probably no one is so anxious to see His Majesty reconciled with the Queen Mother. ”
Even if the dealer hopes that he will cover the sky with one hand, if Zhuang Jinse and His Majesty have a harmonious relationship, they do not think it is a bad thing, but if they can envelop His Majesty and let His Majesty allow the Zhuang family more benefits, Mrs. Zhuang is also happy.
It's just that His Majesty always doesn't go to the banker's thief ship.
The old sacrificial wine continued: "I guess, she is still obsessed with the position of the queen mother, she wants to be the queen mother, she wants to get rid of Zhuang Jinse." It's just that she hid herself too well, and even knew that she was the most suspicious, but no one doubted her. ”
Something flashed in Gu Changqing's eyes, he clenched his fists, and his eyebrows were cold.
"She's only afraid that she's been eyeing Rokuro lately." The old sacrificial wine hesitated for a moment, but still said about the jade pendant, "And...... Back then, the little marquis of Zhaodu was poisoned by the Queen Mother, and I suspect that she did it. ”
Gu Jiao's eyes also cooled.
Seeing that the brother and sister looked like they were going to enter the palace to correct people on the spot, the old priest hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be impulsive two of you first, don't enter the palace to kill people!" With the dead soldiers of the first emperor, you can't kill them, but you may still be injured. Secondly, even if you kill you, your majesty will not be able to spare you, and the laws of this dynasty will not spare you. ”
Gu Changqing said coldly: "Do you want to let her go on like this?" ”
The old sacrificial wine said: "To deal with this kind of person, of course, you have to go off the rails!" ”
"Why did the sword go off the rails?" Gu Changqing asked.
The old sacrificial wine smiled incomprehensibly: "Naturally...... Give somebody a taste of his own medicine! ”
It is easy to say that it is easy to say that it is easy to know and to govern others, but it is not easy to do.
Especially this old white lotus is hidden deeply, and even the old sacrificial wine is not as good as it.
However, the old sacrificial wine has always refused to admit defeat, you can be higher than me in learning, and your official position is better than mine, but you can't tea over me!
Life is like a play, and you can compete with each other's acting skills!
Gu Jiao silently touched her small back basket.
The old priest said: "It's so late, where are you going?" ”
"Go see my aunt." Gu Jiao said without changing her face.
Old sacrificial wine: "Put down the back basket." ”
Gu Jiao blinked and put down the small back basket.
"Take out the dagger."
Gu Jiao took out a black black iron dagger with a look of resentment.
"The other three."
Gu Jiao took out the three daggers hidden on her body again.
"Take out the sack."
"Take out the hidden weapon."
"Take out the poison needle."
"And that crackling thing you made."
Gu Jiao pouted: "That's gone." ”
Old sacrificial wine: "Poisonous insects." ”
"Vipers."
Gu Changqing heard the temples behind him jump suddenly, do you have so many tiger and wolf things in the small back basket of a girl's house? Even poisonous snakes!
Gu Jiao cleaned up the contents of the small back basket, leaving only a small medicine box.
The small medicine box can't hide living things and things that don't belong to it, otherwise it will disappear, this Gu Jiao tried.
The old sacrificial wine knows this girl too well, if she doesn't stop her today, she can go directly to the palace and put Concubine Jing in a sack.
But the risk is too great.
He wouldn't allow her to take risks.
Gu Changqing automatically ignored his sister's strange thing in the basket, looked at the old sacrificial wine and said, "What exactly does Huo sacrificial wine plan to do?" ”
The old sacrificial wine touched his beard: "Well, ...... this?"
He has a way, but he still needs a tool man!
This person needs to be extremely trusted by the emperor and be able to enter the palace easily.
The second point alone is not too difficult for him, but since the emperor found out that he had been his father for a while, the emperor had a lot of resentment towards him.
I don't believe in him as much as I used to.
The old sacrificial wine looked up to the sky and sighed, it is not easy for the courtiers to do it.
Just as he was sighing, there was the sound of horses' hooves and the turning of the wheels in the alley, and the sound stopped at the door next door, and then the whole alley heard the roar of the small clearance: "Ahhh I'm never going out with you again! It's not fun, it's not fun! It's not fun at all! ”
The old priest muttered, "What's wrong?" Who did he go out with? Angry like this? ”
Gu Jiao and Gu Changqing didn't know.
The three walked out.
The little clearance jumped down from a tall carriage and stomped his feet in anger after jumping!
"Headroom." Gu Jiao called.
When Xiao Jingkong saw Gu Jiao coming out of his aunt's house, he pouted aggrievedly, ran over and threw himself into Gu Jiao's arms.
Gu Jiao squatted down, wiped the sweat from the little guy's forehead, and touched his collar again, his clothes were soaked with sweat.
Xuanping Hou stepped down from the carriage, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the little guy, and said, "Take you to such a high-end restaurant to eat, you still don't appreciate it." ”
"Master Hou." Gu Changqing arched his hand.
"Hmm." Xuan Pinghou replied lightly.
The little clear space is particularly angry: "You still say that you still say!" Such a big restaurant! So many good dishes, you ordered me an egg! ”
Xuanpinghou coughed lightly: "That's an egg marinated in abalone sauce, it's very expensive, besides, can you eat so many things with one child?" Didn't Ben Hou take you to go boating? ”
"What a broken ship is that! Also leaking! I scooped up the water all the way! Woooooo "Xiao Jingkong is wronged, "Jiaojiao, my arm is sore." ”
There were ships of twenty copper plates, and there were ships of fifty copper plates, and further up, there were also awning boats of one or two pieces of silver.
Xuanping Hou rented a cheapest boat, not to mention that there was no shed, and the bottom of the rowing boat was still leaking halfway through.
In the end, I don't know if it's a person rowing a boat or a boatman.
Gu Jiao hugged Xiao Jingkong, and Xiao Jingkong lay in her arms, twitching aggrieved.
What a thrilling day!
He never wants to go out with this hairless Xiao monkey again!
"I'll take the clearance in first." Gu Jiao said, turned around and entered the house.
Gu Changqing and the old sacrificial wine looked at Xuanping Hou, and their expressions were indescribable.
I know you're picking, but it's not going to be so picky!
Xuan Pinghou coughed lightly and said with a snort: "What are you doing looking at Ben Hou like this?" Ben Hou is also very hard! Ben Hou didn't even take Ah Heng when he was a child, and he worked hard to bring the little guy for a day, and he didn't even call the master. ”
"Do you want to be a master for Xiao Jingkong?" The old sacrificial wine looked Xuanping Hou up and down, and his eyes lit up little by little, "This is simple, you help me do something, and I will think of letting the clear space call you Master!" ”
Marquis Xuanping glanced at the old sacrificial wine suspiciously.
A rain fell during the night, which dissipated a lot of the heat, and when the rain stopped at dawn, the palace was full of fragrance, mixed with the moist smell of the earth, which was refreshing.
Empress Xiao got up early.
According to the palace rules, she should go to Renshou Palace to ask for peace to the Empress Dowager Zhuang, but who made the Empress Dowager Zhuang not an ordinary Empress Dowager, she had to go to the early dynasty, but saved her daughter-in-law from setting up rules in front of her.
However, not asking for peace for Empress Dowager Zhuang does not mean that you will not say goodbye to Concubine Jing.
"Mother, this peacock is beautiful." The little palace maid who combed Empress Xiao's hair said.
Empress Xiao looked at her own house in the bronze mirror and sighed long: "The years urge people to grow old, and the red face is fleeting, what is the use of the pearl hairpin no matter how beautiful it is?" When people are old, they don't look good when they wear anything. ”
The little palace maid hurriedly said: "How can the queen mother be old?" You are the peony in the flower, the national color is fragrant, and the pine and cypress in the mountains are lush after frost! You'll only get better and better! ”
Empress Xiao smiled faintly: "Just your mouth is sweet." She raised her hand and motioned for the little palace maid to put the pearl hairpin on for her.
The little palace maid put on the peacock dot cui hairpin and selected a few white jade bead flowers for her.
"Niangniang is the queen, she doesn't serve people with sex, why is she afraid of the years?"
Mama Liao walked in with a pot of water soaked in flower petals.
Empress Xiao smiled: "What Mama said is very true. ”
She is the queen and the wife of His Majesty, and unlike those concubines of Yingying Yanyan, she and His Majesty are people who have been married, worshipped, and have a true friendship between husband and wife.
Men, you can put some effort into giving to other women, but a wife is a wife after all.
Empress Xiao soaked her hand in the petal water.
Mama Liao said: "Niangniang, Xuanping Hou is here." ”
"Brother is here?" Empress Xiao's eyes lit up.
Mama Liao sighed secretly, and only in front of Xuanping Hou would the mother show the side of the girl's family in front of the pavilion.
"Please!"
It's not a quick announcement, it's a quick please.
Empress Xiao has great respect for this brother, and of course Xuanping Hou treats his sister well.
Empress Xiao met with Marquis Xuanping in the Qingyou Pavilion where the guests were entertained.
Marquis Xuanping bowed his hand: "Minister, I've seen the queen." ”
Empress Xiao stopped talking, glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs in the pavilion, and said in a deep voice: "You all step down, and the palace will say a few words to the Marquis of Xuanping." ”
"Yes!"
The palace people retreated one by one.
Empress Xiao stood up with a smile and walked towards Xuanping Hou: "Brother! ”
Xuanping Hou glanced at her with disgust: "Why are you dressed like a bird today?" ”
Queen Xiao splashed down with a basin of cold water: "......"
Empress Xiao took a deep breath.
My brother's mouth has not changed for decades!
Empress Xiao and Xuanping Hou sat down on the chair, she did not sit on the main seat on the steps, but sat next to Xuanping Hou.
Empress Xiao asked, "How is my brother doing recently?" ”
Xuanping Hou said: "It's good, what about the queen?" ”
Empress Xiao smiled: "I'm naturally fine." ”
Xuan Pinghou looked at her delicate makeup and cumbersome jewelry, and asked, "Do you regret entering the palace?" ”
"How so?" She doesn't regret it, isn't it good to be able to be a mother in the world? What's more, although His Majesty has three thousand beauties in the harem, he has never really snubbed her, the queen.
It was her own intention to marry the emperor at the beginning, and it was calculated that she intercepted Concubine Zhuang's Hu.
Zhuang Guifei is the emperor's concubine, but after the emperor ascended the throne, he only named Zhuang Guifei as the second-grade Zhuang concubine, but canonized her as the queen.
For this reason, she and the Xiao family suffered a lot from the Empress Dowager Zhuang's lineage, and it was all her brother who carried it on his own.
So she is grateful and respectful to her brother in her heart.
She smiled and asked, "Why is my brother free to come to see me today?" ”
"There's something I want to ask you for." Xuan Pinghou said.
"What?" Empress Xiao asked.
Xuanping Hou said: "An old man asked me to bring something to Concubine Jing, which is a very precious thing, so I must hand it over to Concubine Jing with my own hands." ”
Empress Xiao smiled and said, "What else should I do? What's so hard about that? I'm about to go to Huaqing Palace to say goodbye to Concubine Jing, why don't you go with me. ”
"Okay." Xuan Pinghou nodded.
The brother and sister went to Huaqing Palace.
Since Concubine Jing moved here, Huaqing Palace has been much more lively, and all the concubines in the harem who are qualified to come to Concubine Jing to ask for peace have come, and the heart to please Concubine Jing is real, and it is not fake to want to meet the emperor by chance.
Empress Xiao doesn't have to meet the emperor by chance, but the emperor regards Concubine Jing as her biological mother, and Empress Xiao naturally respects her as her mother-in-law.
It's just that what Queen Xiao never expected was that Concubine Zhuang also came.
The two most powerful concubines of the harem met at the gate of Huaqing Palace, with their respective eunuchs and palace maids, and the atmosphere seemed to be frozen.
The two were originally comparable in the harem, but today there was Xuanping Marquis to support Queen Xiao, and Queen Xiao's aura was extra strong than usual.
"Xuanping Hou." Concubine Zhuang greeted with a smile.
"Concubine Niangniang." Xuanping Hou arched his hand perfunctorily.
He was also so urinating in front of the emperor, Zhuang Guifei didn't care about his attitude, Zhuang Guifei looked at Empress Xiao with a smile: "Is the queen here to say hello to the concubine?" ”
"Isn't the concubine?" Empress Xiao asked lightly.
Concubine Zhuang smiled: "King Ning suppressed a group of mountain bandits a few days ago, and the people of the village were grateful for Your Majesty's kindness, and specially made some tea cakes to bring to Your Majesty. King Ning is still in the mountains to deal with the aftermath, so he can only let the guards send it back, and the palace will do it for him. ”
King Ning, King Ning.
Obviously, her son is the crown prince, and His Majesty always asks the prince to study in the upper study, but King Ning is often entrusted with important tasks to help His Majesty govern the world!
Thinking that now, King Ning's prestige among the people is about to overpower the crown prince!
Empress Xiao's fingers tightened, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
"Let's go inside." Xuan Pinghou said.
Empress Xiao gave Concubine Zhuang a roll of her eyes, and stepped into the Huaqing Palace with Marquis Xuanping.
Concubine Zhuang bowed slightly, and she was also very perfunctory.
It wasn't until Empress Xiao and Marquis Xuanping entered Concubine Jing's bedroom that Concubine Zhuang's expression cooled down.
The female officer on the side snorted coldly: "What's the big deal? If it weren't for His Majesty's break with the Queen Mother, this throne would have been in the pocket of the mother! ”
Concubine Zhuang sneered: "What's the use of sitting in the back seat? gave birth to two straw bale sons, it is difficult to be a big responsibility! ”
Concubine Zhuang also entered the Huaqing Palace, she did come to send tea cakes to the emperor today, the folk things are not exquisite, and they are not clean, but the emperor does not say that they are really eating.
It was enough for him to know the intentions of King Ning and the people.
No matter how many feats King Ning has established outside, he will definitely tell the people that he is on the orders of his father, and it is not him who blesses the people, but his father and the emperor of Zhaoguo.
Just ask such a son, how can the emperor not love him?
The emperor was really happy to see the tea cakes, and he really didn't eat them, but he really praised King Ning greatly.
"The concubine teaches her son well." The emperor was overjoyed, and when he thought of something, he sighed in a low voice, "If the crown prince is half as sensible as his eldest brother, I won't be so worried." ”
Concubine Zhuang said with a smile: "If the prince doesn't dislike it, his eldest brother is happy to take him out for training." ”
did not flatter the crown prince, nor did he belittle his son, but expressed brotherly friendship, which made the emperor very useful.
"It's time to go out and practice, go back and find an errand and let the two brothers be together." The emperor paused and asked, "I haven't seen Yan'er and Xin'er for a while, so you can let them enter the palace another day." ”
Qin Yan and Qin Xin are the two little county lords of Ning Wangfu, and the side concubines are from the concubines, one is three years old and the other is two years old.
"Yes." Concubine Zhuang responded with a smile.
The emperor put down his fold: "Since you are here, go with me to see Concubine Jing." ”
Concubine Zhuang was disrespectful.
In the Qiuhua Pavilion, Empress Xiao and Marquis Xuanping had already asked Concubine Jing for peace.
Empress Xiao sat next to Concubine Jing, and when she saw the emperor enter with the spring breeze on her face, Empress Xiao's face was stinky.
"Say hello to Concubine Jing." Concubine Zhuang bowed.
"What are you going to do?" The emperor looked at the Marquis of Xuanping.
Xuanping Hou said: "The minister is entrusted by others, and there is something to be transferred to the concubine." ”
As he spoke, he took out a small brocade box from his wide sleeve.
Mama Cai walked over, took the brocade box and presented it to Concubine Jing with both hands.
Concubine Jing was still seriously ill and her complexion was not very good, so she covered her face with a handkerchief and coughed twice, and took the box.
"Who is it?" Concubine Jing asked with a smile.
Xuanping Hou said: "The old man said that if the concubine opened the box, she would know. ”
Concubine Jing nodded when she heard this, and opened the box.
Marquis Xuanping is the emperor's confidant, he can be trusted, and he will not harm himself.
But what no one expected was that the moment the box opened, a dart shot out!
Everyone's faces have changed dramatically!
Xuanping Hou was also shocked, he never expected that the box contained a hidden weapon, but unfortunately he didn't have time to make a move.
Concubine Jing is old, weak, sick and disabled, it's over, she's going to die!
The dart shot straight at Concubine Jing's face, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, Concubine Jing's eyes lit up, and with a wave of two fingers, she caught the dart!
Everyone looked at her in amazement.
There was a silence in the main hall.
