Sikong Wenlan let out a strange laugh. Follow? Dream?. com
"Of course I know, do you think that those cases eight years ago were done by Dali Temple and the Imperial City Division, the Dali Temple set the list, the Imperial City Division convicted, and Taiwei Gao and my father were mad and persecuted ministers?"
"Isn't it, everyone knows that Lord Sikong and Lord Wang, the prime minister of the previous dynasty, are incompatible, Lord Wang changes the law, your father is resolutely opposed, and he can't wait to get rid of it!"
"Yes, isn't Lord Wang going to kill my father if he changes the law?"
"No, Lord Wang wouldn't do such a thing!"
"Hmph, what descendant of the Wang family are you?"
Yue'er shook her head, she knew that after Xuanlong took the throne, he reused that Lord Wang, and their monarchs and ministers implemented the new law as one, which boosted the atmosphere of the government and the opposition, but Lord Wang later died of illness after accumulated hard work, and it became difficult to change the law.
"I just ask you, those unjust cases at that time weren't Lord Sikong's personal vendettas?"
Sikong Wenlan nodded.
"Once the son of heaven and a courtier, who came to power and did not declare personal vendettas, there must be revenge, but so many people were disposed of, do you think my father is a small man?"
Yue'er's body shook.
"You're saying that Lord Sikong was instructed by someone?"
"Isn't it?"
Yue'er knew that there were only two people who could instruct Sikong Man at that time, one was Xuan Ling, who had just ascended to the throne of the Son of Heaven, and the other was the late Queen Mother Liu A.
"Okay, if someone is instructing me to say it, I'll go and ask Lord Sikong, it seems that my sister doesn't know about this matter."
"yes, I don't know, I don't know anything!"
Yue'er stepped back, and said regretfully, "Since my sister doesn't want to talk to my sister, then I have to say goodbye, alas, I can't imagine that you have been in the palace for so many years and your status is respected, but there are some things I might as well ask a Shang Palace!" ”
Sikong Wenlan's eyes flashed.
"Girl, are you provoking me, are you comparing those subordinates in Yu Shanggong with me?"
"Sister, I have respected you since I came in, why bother to provoke you, I just want to know some old things, such as Yu Shanggong said that she knew that there was an internal official named Cheng Lin, and he did something related to Lord Sikong, sister, you don't know, right?"
Cheng Lin is the confession that Zhaoju got when he interrogated Taiwei Gao, and Yue'er said it here to slander Sikong Wenlan.
Sikong Wenlan thought that Yu Shanggong really knew, and couldn't help but exclaim, "What, she actually knows Cheng Lin, what did she say Cheng Lin did?" ”
Yue'er smiled slightly.
"It seems that my sister really knows about this, did Cheng Lin name the Queen Mother and instruct him to do something, and this matter is related to Concubine Ren?"
Sikong Wenlan glanced Yue'er up and down, her eyes full of surprise.
"Did you know that there is a saying that the more you know, the faster you die?"
"Yes, my sister knows."
"You are so determined, do you want to be the next concubine?"
Yue'er shook her head.
"I don't want anybody."
In fact, Yue'er didn't even want to enter the palace in her heart, she didn't want to compete for favor or intrigue.
"I don't believe you just want to know the truth!"
Yue'er's face showed disappointment.
"Well, since my sister won't say it, then my sister will leave!"
After Yue'er said this, she turned around to leave.
Sikong Wenlan watched Yue'er walk to the door, and was about to call the people outside, when she suddenly said, "You wait-"
Yue'er stopped.
"What, my sister changed her mind?"
"What are you, what are you, why are you asking this, if you are willing to tell me, then I can also tell you something you want to know!"
Yue'er's sincere attitude finally touched Sikong Wenlan, she didn't want Yue'er to leave immediately, she was cold, hungry and very lonely here.
"My sister can't say it yet, because she has a last resort."
Yue'er stretched out her hand and was about to knock on the door, Shangguan Wenlan hurriedly shouted, "Okay, if you don't want to say it, I'm not reluctant, I can tell you what I want to know, anyway, if you say it, it's death, and if you don't say it, it's death, and I don't want you to help me do anything, just ask the people from Zongzheng Mansion to add a cotton coat to me and add a pot of charcoal." ”
"Okay, this sister, I'll do it for you."
"Then when you come back, whatever you want to know, I'll tell you!"
Yue'er breathed a sigh of relief, if Sikong Wenlan insisted on the end just now, then she had no way to force her to ask, and then Yue'er walked back in front of Sikong Wenlan.
"Sister, we talked about Cheng Lin just now, why did he add someone to the list of rebels for the Queen Mother?"
"Yes, because of the addition of this person, Cheng Lin died."
This implies that there is a connection between the two.
"Are you saying that Cheng Lin's death is related to the Queen Mother?"
"Yes, isn't this strange, all these years, the old woman of the Queen Mother has been closely monitoring the palace, I know that I have to stay up slowly, and I must not make any mistakes, such a day is by no means something ordinary people can bear!"
"So you can't wait?"
"Yes, I spend my days in the palace like a year, suffering every day, some things are clearly seen, but I have to pretend not to know, you said Cheng Lin I know, he grew up with the emperor when he was a child, and many secret things in the palace were handed over to him by the queen mother, Yu Shanggong has nothing to do with him, how much can you know? And this matter is related to Concubine Ren, it is one of the deepest secrets of the harem, do you really want to inquire? ”
Yue'er nodded, if Zhaoju came back Sikong Wenlan was dead, then she would never be able to find out the truth, and she couldn't live up to Zhaoju.
"This matter is now in the palace, and only this palace knows about it."
Sikong Wenlan looked at Yue'er and said solemnly, "Okay, if you have the opportunity, you can tell the Nine Emperor Princes at the right time, this will solve the mystery in his heart!" ”
"Thank you, sister!"
Yue'er took a deep look.
"Okay, do you know that Cheng Lin was instructed by someone to put a person's name on the list, who is this person?"
"Who?"
Sikong Wenlan smiled slightly.
"You have already guessed this person in your heart, he is the old general Wei Xingwei, the festival envoy of the Sichuan Capital Mansion at that time!"
"What, someone instructed to frame General Wei?"
Yue'er's body was shocked, he knew that Wei Xing was Zhaoju's grandfather and Concubine Ren's father, but he didn't know why the Queen Mother wanted to attack General Wei.
"Yes, because of this incident, Concubine Ren was also forced to death by Liu A's woman, because she knew a secret that she shouldn't know!"
Liu A is the queen mother, Yue'er was shocked when she heard this secret.
"She, what secret does she know?"
"This secret is the origin of the Queen Mother!"
"What is the origin of the Queen Mother?"
"The Queen Mother is from the Sichuan Mansion, she is not a famous family, she is just a lowly folk woman, and she was married before entering the palace, and that husband is a Langzhong!"
Yue'er sighed.
"What Langzhong, he, what's his name?"
"That Lang Zhong's name is Wei Fengchun, after Liu Asufu came to Gale City, Wei Fengchun opened a pharmacy, this Wei family pharmacy should have been unknown, but for some reason it suddenly became popular, and many dignitaries and nobles asked him to come to the door for consultation."
Yue'er nodded, but she really didn't know that there was such a person as Wei Fengchun, maybe he appeared too early, and he didn't even know his father.
Sikong Wenlan continued, "At that time, the first emperor Zhaoxi was just a prince, he invited this Wei Langzhong to see a doctor, once he passed by the Wei family pharmacy, so he got off the car to visit, but Wei Langzhong was not there, Liu A heard that the prince visited, so he personally came out to serve tea and water, as a result, the first emperor saw Liu A's amazing beauty, stunned, and later, that Wei Langzhong was sick and returned to the west, and then later, Liu A entered the palace and became a concubine, she became a concubine from a concubine, and after the first emperor ascended the throne, she became the queen again. ”
Yue'er couldn't imagine that the Queen Mother had such a life experience, no wonder her behavior was a little vulgar, not like a big family, it turned out that she had this folk background.
Speaking of this, Sikong Wenlan paused.
"Actually, that Wei Langzhong is not dead, and he is not sick, he was suddenly assassinated by a killer!"
"Who wants to kill Wei Langzhong?"
"What do you say?"
Yue'er guessed whether it would be Liu Ah who caught up with Zhaoxi, and the two had an adulterous affair, because they were afraid of being discovered by Wei Lang, Zhaoxi sent a killer to kill him.
"How does that sister know that Wei Langzhong is not dead?"
