Volume 2 Heavenly Ladder Xi Fuyi Chapter 35 The Turmoil in the Palace

"Niangniang, have you heard about what happened outside the palace recently?" In the afternoon, Xiping was coaxed to take a nap, Mu Biwei looked at the pomegranate peeling the jacket, and the next willow maiden came over with her eyebrows dancing and said, "No wonder the Queen Mother's birthday Princess Anping and the princess have not arrived!" ”

Mu Bi took a few pomegranate seeds into her mouth, swallowed them and said with a smile: "This matter was almost forgotten by the palace, Princess Anping and the princess did not arrive that day, and the palace also asked Princess Guangling to come, Princess Guangling said that Princess Anping was inseparable from something in the house...... But what's the matter? ”

"What kind of thing could be more important than wishing the Queen Mother her birthday?" Imperial Lady Liu half-covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and snickered, "The concubine heard that the reason why Princess Anping couldn't come was because Princess Anping was injured in the face and was afraid of being laughed at at the birthday banquet, so she excused herself not to come to the banquet because there was something in the house!" ”

"Princess Anping is the wife of King Anping and the eldest daughter of the Gao family, how could she be beaten?" Mu Biwei stared at her nails that had just been dyed with impatiens juice, and said leisurely, "Where did you hear this news?" Don't talk about others talking nonsense and slandering Anping Palace? ”

Liu Yunu said lightly: "If it is not allowed, where does the concubine dare to come to the mother to tell the right and wrong?" This news has now spread all over the capital - it is said that King Anping favored his concubine and killed his wife, and even the princess who gave birth to a son or a cousin was beaten! ”

"In this way, Princess Anping was beaten by King Anping, so she couldn't get out?" Mu Biwei raised her head in surprise and glanced at her, "Is there such a thing?" King Anping is also the eldest son of the first emperor and the queen mother, how can he be so rude! What kind of concubine is it that King Anping is like this for her? ”

"Niangniang, do you still remember that two years ago, King Anping asked for the title of county lord for his concubine?" Liu Mizun blinked.

Mu Bi nodded slightly: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have already rejected this matter, could it be that King Anping still wants to fight such an idea, but he was stopped by the princess?" It's just that the concubine should be thirty years old even if she counts her age, why did King Anping beat the princess for her? ”

Imperial Lady Liu pursed the corners of her lips and said, "The concubine heard that the concubine named Bao Ji is not a good match!" She has only given birth to a concubine until now, but she is pampered, although King Anping and the princess are not very good before she entered the house, she often goes to the princess's room, since she entered the house, except for the fifteenth day of the first month, she will go to the princess's place to order a mao, and almost live in her yard at other times! Although she is a small concubine, she can follow King Anping since she beat Bao Ji, it can be said that she has attained Taoism and ascended to heaven, and now many industries in Anping Wangfu have been presided over by King Anping's mother's family, and even King Anping's close servants have used Bao Ji's younger brother, called Qu Zhengzhi's...... Princess Anping is really pitiful, now in addition to her dowry, most of the things up and down the palace can't be intervened, if it weren't for Bao Ji having no children, everyone outside said that I am afraid that the prince of Anping doesn't know how the days have passed! ”

"With the Queen Mother here, who dares to abolish the heir?" Mu Bi frowned slightly, "This is strange, this matter is a matter in the Anping Palace, why did it suddenly spread all over Yedu?" ”

"I heard that the concubine was made by a dowry of Princess Anping." Liu Yunu said with a smile, "Niangniang thinks, although King Anping is noble, but Princess Anping was also prominent when she was not married, on the birthday of the Queen Mother, Princess Anping suffered such a big loss in the hands of King Anping, how can she swallow this breath?" Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that King Anping entered the palace alone to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother, and could not return until the evening, although Bao Ji relied on the favor of King Anping and ran rampant in the palace, he did not have the ability to hand the news into the palace, so after King Anping entered the palace gate, he took the dowry and surrounded Bao Ji's courtyard, so that people dragged Bao Ji out in public, and took the golden hairpin to draw Bao Ji's face horizontally and vertically, and then rewarded dozens of rods! Fight until that Bao Ji has only one breath left!

"Not only that, but even Bao Ji's mother's family, the princess was also ruthless this time, searched the study of King Anping, and found out the deed of sale of those people, and broke his legs in the court one by one, especially that Qu Zhengzhi, King Anping entered the palace yesterday, he was a foreign man, and he was waiting outside the palace, and the princess made someone take the life of a close waiter's family next to Bao Ji, and forced the waiter to tell him that Bao Ji was suddenly not good, and tricked him back to the house, and was pressed into the pond by the princess and drowned!"

Liu Yunu said: "King Anping returned to the house, and found that so many things had happened on this day, and even the concubine he loved the most was ordered by the princess to kneel for a day, and when he saw him return, he fainted, so he naturally wanted to find the princess to care, but the princess was also forced to the extreme this time, and she made trouble regardless of it...... Although King Anping tried to cover up, but there was a princess's dowry to break out of the house, to go back to Gao's house to report the news, there was already a curfew, seeing that Jin Wuwei was blocked, he was about to be held by King Anping under the pretext of fleeing slaves, so he shouted out on the street, in the dead of night, where can he be dissatisfied with the wind and rain in the city? Now I'm afraid that everyone in Yedu knows that King Anping's favored concubine killed his wife! ”

Mu Bi snorted slightly and said: "Two years ago, when the palace just entered the palace, it happened that King Anping asked for the title of his concubine, and even His Majesty was almost implicated...... I really don't miss the face of the Queen Mother at all! ”

"The concubine heard that the queen mother was panicking because of this matter - originally King Anping wanted to stop her, and she didn't want Princess Anping's birthday to be accompanied by the prince, the queen mother didn't say it, but she was worried about it in her heart, and the next day after her birthday, she made the eldest princess of Xuanning go to the palace to visit, and she didn't want to bump into King Anping and raised the sword...... The concubine heard that King Anping was so angry that he almost killed the princess! Imperial Lady Liu covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a face that she couldn't bear to say, "At that time, even the eldest princess of Xuanning was stunned!" Thanks to the arrival of the eldest princess in time, Princess Anping hid behind the eldest princess, King Anping still cared about the eldest princess, and the princess escaped with her life, and now the princess has returned to the Gao family, and she refuses to go back to the palace! ”

Mu Biwei thought to herself, no wonder the Empress Dowager Gao didn't do anything about the Sun family's troubles on her birthday in the past few days, it turned out that she was dragged down by the matter of King Anping and his wife...... It's just that Sun's behavior that day was very abnormal, could it be that he had long expected that Empress Dowager Gao would not have the time to care about her birthday?

Thinking like this, I became more and more suspicious of who made a fuss about the Anping Palace, after all, the Anping King and his wife were not very harmonious, and they knew it when they entered the palace two years ago, and the concubine who gave birth to a concubine was afraid that she was in the palace at that time, since no one had mentioned the murder of King Anping's favorite concubine in the past two years, such an abrupt disturbance was all over the city, Mu Biwei didn't believe that it was a coincidence.

It's just that although the Sun family is now only one head lower than the Qu family in the palace, they are still favored, so there are some people in the previous dynasty who flattered her, but King Anping is Ji Shen's eldest brother, and the Gao family is also the eldest daughter of the Gao family.

Mu Biwei asked the Imperial Lady Liu: "You said that all this news is known now, what did the Gao family say?" ”

"The concubine body also listened to the palace people's private discussions, but she didn't know it." Imperial Nu Liu shook her head and said, "But I heard that a lady of Rongchang County has entered the palace today." ”

Mrs. Rongchang County is the sister-in-law of the Empress Dowager Gao, the current patriarch of the Gao family, Gao Chuan's wife, and the biological mother of Princess Gao Fu of Anping.

At this moment, in the palace, Mrs. Rongchangjun was wiping her tears with a handkerchief: "...... Fu Niang was indeed impulsive this time, but she also grew up with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother said that she was good, how could she be someone who didn't know the severity? That concubine is now going to talk about others, and she has endured it for so many years, if she wasn't forced to her head, how could she take action on that concubine? In the final analysis, it's just a concubine, with the Queen Mother, who doesn't know that the Queen Mother is the person who values the rules the most, is she still afraid that someone will take away the position of Lang? Besides, now that there is such a trouble, why is it just the face of the Gao family that is lost...... Fu Niang must have been murdered this time, and begged the Queen Mother to find out the truth, so that Fu Niang could be innocent! ”

Empress Dowager Gao was furious, but listening to the report of the eldest princess of Xuanning, the eldest princess saw King Anping chasing and killing the princess with a sharp blade in her hand, so that she couldn't attack her sister-in-law in the end, and now she could only hold back the fire in her heart and intersect with Mrs. Rongchangjun clearly: "But the words were passed on by Fu Niang's dowry!" ”

"Queen Mother, the concubine entered the palace today and was about to come to explain to the Queen Mother." Mrs. Rongchangjun wiped the corners of her eyes, raised her head and said very aggrievedly, "That night, Fu Niang only sent the marrying lady to the Gao family to report the news, telling him to say it in front of several other people, and the original words only told him that if he was chased by King Anping, and asked Jin Wuwei to pass the word to the Gao family, he didn't ask him to tell him about those things in the palace at all!" ”

"Isn't that the case always known after asking, what about that person?" Empress Dowager Gao's heart is more inclined to her own son, so she snorted and asked.

How do you know that Mrs. Rongchangjun cried again: "The concubine also wants to keep the slave who should be killed, so that Fu Niang can be innocent!" I didn't want the slave to shout a few times in the street, and King Anping raised his hand and shot him to death with an arrow - what does this call Fu Niang say! ”

Empress Dowager Gao said angrily: "What? ”

"Queen Mother, at that time, in addition to the people in the palace, there was also a team of Jin Wuwei who could testify, the concubine did not dare to deceive, it was indeed King Anping who took the initiative to shoot him, how can you find out who instructed him?" The lady of Rongchang County kept shouting for her daughter, but the meaning of the words was very clear, one is that the matter of the Anping Wangfu was leaked, and the trouble in the city was definitely not done by Gauff, but the other pointed out that although the person who shouted the long street was Gao Fu's marriage, it was the King of Anping who killed him - who knows if the King of Anping took this opportunity to completely abandon Gauff?

Empress Dowager Gao also thought of this, she hated and scolded a few words of evil, and instructed Song Xianren: "Summoning King Anping!" ”
