Chapter 332: To Kill or Not to Kill
Shen Shu's expression was awe-inspiring.
This reminded her that when she was in Yunjiang, Mrs. Jiang once said that the first emperor encircled and suppressed the Medicine King Valley in order to eradicate Bai Yi and all the Medicine King Valley people who had taken bat birds.
At that time, Shen Shu still didn't understand that Bai Yi's scope of activities was outside the Guan, so why would the first emperor order the then prince and Cheng'en Gong to personally lead a large army to Yunjiang to encircle and suppress.
Now, she learned from Concubine Qi that Empress Shuhui was poisoned by Yunjiang, and she was informed of this by the first emperor-
The poison on the Buddha beads must be related to Baiyi.
Between the Cheng'en Mansion, the Queen Mother and Bai Yi, there must be some ulterior secrets.
That's why the first emperor gave an order to encircle and suppress the Medicine King Valley.
Thinking of this, Shen Shu looked at Concubine Qi: "Mrs. Shi doesn't know anything...... The little girl has been fostered in the Shen family since she was a child, and she knows very little about the past of the Bai family. During the previous Yunjiang War, from the mouth of the dead Bai Jin, I knew something...... It is impossible to judge whether it is true or false. ”
Speaking of this, she paused: "Dare to ask Mrs. Shi, when did the little girl's grandfather Bai Xin pass away, and why did she pass away?" ”
Maternal ancestor Bai Xin not only healed the first emperor to continue his life, but also walked in the palace all the year round. Now that I think about it, as a person with superb medical skills and a unique bloodline talent, I shouldn't have passed away suddenly.
The hidden meaning of this must only be clear to the concubine in front of her.
Concubine Qi looked at Shen Shu's eyes, and her face flashed with a sense of inquiry, as if she was wondering the truth of Shen Shu's words.
She was silent for a long time, and then replied, "Your grandfather died suddenly outside the palace. On the second day after his death, the news reached the palace, and the first emperor was furious and ordered Cheng'en Gong and the crown prince to set off immediately to the Yaowang Valley to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Bai clan. ”
Three days later, the first emperor suddenly died in the Kunning Palace...... I'm just a palace concubine, and I don't go out and around much on weekdays, that's all I know, as for ...... It is not known how much of this is hidden. ”
When Shen Shu heard this, her expression became more and more solemn.
Thirty years ago, if his grandfather died only five days earlier than the first emperor, after the death of his grandfather, the first emperor immediately ordered the encirclement and suppression of the Yaowang Valley.
This means that it is likely that the death of the grandfather made the first emperor discover the truth about the death of Empress Shuhui back then, and then he will issue an encirclement and suppression order.
The rest is not difficult to guess.
With the character of the first emperor, he would never tolerate the person next to him to fool him like this, not to mention the death of Empress Yuan, who also killed his childhood sweetheart.
He will definitely personally bring Empress Dowager Xiao to Kunning Palace and kill her to vent her anger, so as to comfort Empress Shuhui's spirit in the sky.
If Empress Dowager Xiao does not kill the first emperor, then after her death, the entire Xiao family will be buried for Empress Shuhui.
If you don't kill, it's a dead end.
Killing can not only make his son ascend the throne as the emperor, but also exchange for the supreme honor of the Xiao family for thirty years.
Whether it is the Empress Dowager Xiao or the ambitious Xiao family, they will not let go of this opportunity......
History is always strikingly similar -
Only now did Shen Shu understand why Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly attacked the emperor.
Presumably, King Yi found out that the Taiji Hall and the Great Huguo Temple were poisoned, which was related to the Chengen Mansion.
This incident invisibly pushed the Chengen Mansion into the same dangerous situation as it was back then.
And the Empress Dowager Xiao and the Cheng'en Mansion had already killed the first emperor back then, in order to keep the honor of the Xiao family.
One is born, and the second is ripe.
Now they can do it, so that there is no chance to punish them today.
After careful calculation, the only difference from that year is that the Empress Dowager Xiao was a dead hand to the first emperor back then.
And now, the Queen Mother has shown mercy to her biological son, only making him unconscious, not dying violently.
That's why—
It was revealed that the Queen Mother's attack on the emperor may have been just forced by the situation.
The relationship between her and the crown prince has not yet reached a complete trust.
Otherwise, she should directly kill the emperor and help the crown prince ascend to the throne, so that everything can be solved once and for all.
Shen Shu kept scrutinizing these details in her mind, so much so that she ignored the existence of Concubine Qi and Liu Xing for a while.
Concubine Qi always watched Shen Shu's expression quietly.
Seeing that Shen Shu went from being puzzled, to being abrupt, and finally becoming embarrassed and complicated, Concubine Qi finally put her mind at ease and nodded at Liu Xing.
When Shen Shu came back to her senses, Concubine Qi sat with her eyes down, the hesitation and resentment between her eyebrows dissipated, and her expression was full of peace.
Liu Xing, on the other hand, knelt straight on the ground, respectful and solemn.
Shen Shu saw that Concubine Qi had no intention of asking again, so she sighed for a few breaths, stood up, and bowed to her.
"Something...... Although the little girl knew, she hadn't had time to verify it, so it was inconvenient to say that Concubine Yu knew......"
Before she finished her words, Concubine Qi raised her eyes to look at her, and said softly: "The county lord is worried, the poor nun is already a monk, and he has survived to this day, but he has been wronged by the first emperor and Empress Shuhui in his heart...... Now that he has told the county lord everything he knows, he is relieved. ”
"Presumably, the county lord has discovered that everything is because of the Bai family...... The poor nun only hopes that one day, if the county lord has the opportunity, he will make the grievances of the first emperor and the queen of the Yuan public to the world, so that the Empress Dowager Xiao and the Xiao family can eat the bitter fruit, and it can be regarded as living up to the acquaintance and acquaintance of the first emperor and Ling Zu. ”
It is not easy to bring down the Queen Mother and the Xiao family, not to mention that not only the prince is involved, but even the Chengenhou Mansion, which is friendly with King Yi, is a member of the Xiao family.
Shen Shufu bowed: "The trust of the master is too heavy, there are not only the descendants of the Bai family behind the little girl, but also the Shen family in Yunjiang and the Jiang family in the northwest. However, the little girl will definitely try her best to save the emperor and not let the other party's conspiracy succeed. I will also relay these matters to His Royal Highness King Yi, believing that His Royal Highness King Yi has his own decision. ”
Concubine Qi hurriedly stood up and helped her up: "Then there will be the county lord of Lao." ”
She said, pointing to Liu Xing, who was kneeling on the ground: "This person has the true inheritance of the first emperor Yingwei, and he also knows the palace well, in order to facilitate his actions, he has been purified since he was a child, and he follows the poor nuns, I will send him to the county lord, from now on but by the orders of the county lord." ”
Shen Shu had been pitted by Liu Yiyi in the Emperor's Mausoleum before, so how could he rest assured that he would stay by his side.
She was about to say no—
Concubine Qi said meaningfully: "He is the descendant of the royal shadow guard, if the county lord doesn't want it, he can also hand it over to King Yi to decide, everything he did before was under my orders, for the sake of me telling the county lord these things today, I also ask the county lord to spare his life." ”
Speaking of which, Shen Shu no longer shirked, nodded and said, "In this case, when I tell His Royal Highness King Yi about today's matter, I will hand him over to His Highness for decision." ”
Concubine Qi smiled and nodded.

Shen Shu came out of Concubine Qi's courtyard and looked up at the sky, it was already close to dusk.
It's almost the time agreed with Feiyun before......
