Chapter 126: Matters in the Palace (2)
After Shen Yan heard this, he couldn't help but sit up straight.
This was unexpected.
The queen has added fuel and vinegar, and the crime that was originally a captivity has to be turned into a capital crime! But this unpardonable sin was actually pulled into a trap by the emperor himself.
It's incredible.
"So, it was the imperial brother who took the initiative to protect Lin Wanrong."
Concubine Chen smiled lightly and nodded under Shen Yan's tentative eyes.
Shen Yan always felt that her smile was not so bright now, and if there was no sadness. In the past, such a special case was always given to Concubine Chen, but now it was given to Lin Wanrong.
It's just that Lin Wanrong is the most difficult to deal with her, it's just heart-stopping.
Shen Yan sighed and said, "I originally thought that Lin Wanrong couldn't think clearly, so as to avoid punishment. It seems that I am doing more. ”
Concubine Chen raised her eyes to look at Shen Yan at this time and said, "This is also what I don't understand. ”
"Lin Wanrong almost ruined your wedding, or twice! But in the end, if you don't punish her severely, you still want to exonerate her. This is not the Kanghe I know. Your Majesty too, in the past, she always despised Lin Wanrong and didn't summon her once for a long time, but this time she really took the blame for her. ”
These questions have been pressing on Concubine Chen's heart for several days, and today I finally seized the opportunity to ask for clarification.
Shen Yan thought for a few moments and sighed.
"You just got married, don't keep sighing, it's unlucky."
Concubine Chen said leisurely, and suffocated a long sigh from Shen Yan's mouth.
"I owe her. The accident in the second year of Taichu was not only as simple as an injury, she was pregnant at the time. ”
Shen Yan closed his eyes and said slowly.
Hearing Shen Yan's words, Concubine Chen was stunned.
She opened her eyes wide, and it took a long time to come to her senses, and she said coldly: "You mean, because of that accident, Lin Wanrong had a miscarriage?" ”
Shen Yan nodded, lowered his eyes and explained: "This matter is very old, I have been seriously ill for more than ten years, so I don't remember it very clearly. This matter was said by Lin Wanrong herself. She was full of resentment and said that I had harmed her child. ”
Speaking of these past events, Shen Yan felt a headache.
Her current situation is like being blind into a labyrinth, exploring, and being blocked by the past that blows up from time to time.
After all, Concubine Chen has been in the palace for many years, and she has been a favorite concubine for so long, and she is well versed in the way of survival in the palace, so she quickly sorted out her thoughts.
"I guess your majesty knows about it. In order to comfort Lin Wanrong's pain of losing her child, she was also implicated in this matter, so at the time of crisis, she was saved and the debt you owed should be repaid. ”
What she said was also what Shen Yan thought.
Thinking about these clearly, Concubine Chen suddenly smiled helplessly and said, "Who would have thought that this child is His Majesty's only child." ”
"The world is unpredictable."
Shen Yan pursed his lips and said in a low voice.
The emperor has been on the throne for so long that he has no children under his knees. This is one of the biggest sources of undercurrents surging in the court. If there is no one to succeed him, he will have to find it from the side.
This is breaking the rules.
A complete glass window is intact, but when it breaks a corner, it will be broken continuously. This is the simple broken window effect.
The royal family of the ancient Zhou Dynasty had a rule that has been handed down to this day, except for the line of inheriting the throne, the rest of the princes all rushed to the fiefdom, changed their names, and completely broke off the idea of rebelling and seizing the throne.
Therefore, there is only this one of the serious bloodlines of the royal family.
In the previous dynasties, the emperors had many heirs, and among the short ones were generals, and there was always one of the ten sons who was smart enough to inherit the unification. But when he arrived at the first emperor, he had two children, Kang He and His Majesty.
What's even worse is that the fate of His Majesty's heirs is so shallow that now there are not even short people, let alone generals.
"Oh, don't talk about these things. The heirs are all destined by heaven, maybe the fate has not arrived. I have one more good thing to tell you today. ”
Concubine Chen said with a smile, and Shen Yan couldn't help but prick up her ears to look at her.
I saw Concubine Chen tuck the gorgeous pearl and green tassels on the edge of her hair, bend her eyes, and said lazily: "The girl who hurt the scenery, the wind and snow, were gone yesterday." ”
"What?"
Shen Yan was surprised.
Fengxue is a former female official next to the queen, how can you say that there is no no? Could it be that he has been emboldened to do so now?
"Don't be surprised."
Concubine Chen explained: "The last time Lu Si entered the prison, I moved the people over, and the people who were watching have not been moved back. But by coincidence, I encountered this thing. Guess who you saw before you died? ”
Her foxy eyes flickered, seducing Shen Yan to answer.
Shen Yan thought for a while and said, "Su Qi? ”
Su Qi, the female official next to the queen now, was sent in by the prime minister, and is considered the queen's distant cousin, who knows the roots. Shen Yan had also met twice before.
"It's not interesting, you can guess it as soon as you guess."
Concubine Chen sighed and said.
Su Qi killed Fengxue, did she do it herself, or did the queen instruct her?
"The queen and me are involved behind the wind and snow, and there is no need for ordinary people to take such a big risk to kill people and destroy their mouths."
Shen Yan said quietly, his eyes sank.
When Concubine Chen saw Shen Yan's thoughtful appearance, she also said, "You don't have to think about it, I will help you find out." It's just that no matter who it is, it's all on the queen's head now, and it can't be separated from her anyway. ”
She ...... Too much. ”
Shen Yan put down the teacup in his hand and said with some emotion. The queen wants too much, she wants to be a high-ranking queen, and she also wants the emperor's favor.
A regular shell, but wants the love of mortals.
Concubine Chen nodded in agreement.
"But I look at it today, your relationship with Xu Jin is actually good. I was worried about you. But Xu Jin treats you very differently. ”
After finishing the business, Concubine Chen didn't get up to tune.
Xu Jin's love words almost didn't numb her to death.
As far as she knows, Xu Jin is a person with exquisite faces, both iron-blooded and tender, in short, he is a good hand at governing the territory and communicating the relationship between the four parties.
And Xu Jin's peach blossom scandal is very rare, and the only two were only last year. It's just two concubines. Another one disappeared early.
"It's fine."
Shen Yan replied with a light smile.
There is no lingering attachment on her face, but it is not so cold, Concubine Chen has just gotten married, and she can't adapt to it, so she uses her usual calmness to hide her shyness.
"You stayed in the carriage for your wedding, maybe you don't know. Xu Jin hung lanterns on both sides of Suzaku Street, which is said to be a favorite of the Jiangcheng Summer Flower Festival, but this is not summer, I don't know what he means. ”
Shen Yan was stunned.
Summer Flower Festival?
Her impression of the festival was that it was grand and lively, and that she was robbed.
"I don't know. Anyway, you have some gossip today! ”
The corners of Shen Yan's mouth twitched, and she looked at Concubine Chen with resentment and said, she didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as Concubine Chen said it, she became interested, and said excitedly: "The excerpt between you and Xu Jin has a continuation in recent days." The name is Monolitha Allure. The writing is good, but the story in it is not as good as the real one. ”
What's the name?
Shen Yan secretly rubbed his arm, pulled the mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "With your gossip today, you see me as an excerpt!" ”
"You and I have such a relationship, can't you say it?"
Concubine Chen was not happy at this time, and glared at Shen Yan and said.
