Guns and Arrows (2)

As expected, Jin Yuqi and I were imprisoned in the medical department for several days.

When I was released, I went to inquire about Xiao Mo's news as soon as possible, and they told me that the Wen family united several major families to put pressure on the emperor to deal with the murder of the daughter of the Luo family, and the Luo family in Lancheng also stood up and supported the Wen family.

The emperor finally ordered that Concubine Xiao retain the concubine position and be imprisoned in the forbidden palace as a criminal concubine.

This surprised me, because I didn't expect that such an obvious ploy as Gentle and Soft would succeed.

For the first time, the emperor gave in to the Wen family, which meant that Xia Zihuang's imperial power was challenged.

After all kinds of inquiries, I learned that the emperor's tyrannical behavior this year caused a lot of dissatisfaction, which slowly accumulated, resulting in this incident, many people in the palace directly disobeyed his orders.

Xia Zihuang had to give in.

But this head can't be opened, and once it is opened, something will happen.

I tried to find the emperor, but failed, Jin Yuqi secretly told me that Xia Zihuang was able to become the emperor that year, and the Wen family contributed the most.

I wondered, didn't I say that the Wen family supported Xia Zicheng?

Jin Yuqi said that this was the case, but they found that after the second prince Xia Zicheng became the crown prince, he was not controlled by the Wen family, and the Wen family relied on their power in the army to secretly support Xia Zihuang, who was still the third prince.

Before his death, the emperor issued a secret order, which was stopped by the Wen family, and the person who stopped him was the current manager Li.

That secret decree is about the succession to the throne, Xia Zihuang got the news before Xia Zicheng entered the palace, announced the secret order, and inherited the throne.

"So, what do you mean...... In fact, the guards are all following the orders of the Wen family? "I only now understood the reason why Wen Soft can be so arrogant.

Jin Yuqi nodded solemnly: "Now it seems, yes." ”

"The Lancheng Luo family now openly supports the Wen family, so as long as you don't do anything, Wen Soft will not move you." Song Tianlan walked in from the door.

"In that case, why did you go to the trouble of harming me before?" I don't understand, if the Wen family's power is really so big, then there is no need to use my affairs as an excuse to make trouble, just threaten directly, and it is no different from the current practice.

"Originally, the Wen family didn't want to tear their faces with the emperor, but they didn't expect that the emperor's treatment directly slapped the Wen family in the face, and they had to defend Xiao Mo, and now the Wen family dares to be so arrogant, also because in the past few days when you have been imprisoned, it is also because of the ...... in the past few days that you have been imprisoned" Song Tianlan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Our Song family has made a move." ”

"The Song family is the largest family in Luanling, and they have always been ignored, although they are in the official position, they maintain a neutral attitude, and they are also quite famous in the government and the opposition." Jin Yuqi added.

I hadn't heard about the Song family, so I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the Song family?" ”

"The Song family used the power of the family to support the Wen family, and the entire imperial city was against the emperor in the two big families of the Song family and the Wen family...... The emperor's situation ......," Jin Yuqi said worriedly.

I looked at Song Tinglan, Song Tinglan nodded, she said: "I don't understand my father's thoughts, he sent me a secret letter yesterday, and asked me to help Wen Soft in the palace." ”

"Why is this happening...... "This is the first time I have heard of these things, I know the power of the Song family, as soon as these two families are united, the emperor's power is directly hollowed out.

If there is only one Wen family, it will be easy to deal with, and with the Song family, it will be difficult now.

It's not that the emperor doesn't know, it's just that before, the Song family never interfered in this kind of thing.

Therefore, the Wen family would originally pretend to make excuses, but now, they don't even pretend.

Another day later, as soon as I returned to the Depth of Field Palace, I heard that a holy decree was passed from the Tianru Pavilion today, to establish Wen Soft as the queen.

Immediately carry out the post-sealing ceremony.

It's going to be the New Year's banquet soon, and the post-closure ceremony will be held together with the New Year's banquet, celebrating both happiness and the whole country.

The palace suddenly became lively, and at the same time there was an inconspicuous order, that is, to demote Xiao Mo to the lower ceremony.

I was worried about Xiao Mo, so I tried to go to the Forbidden Palace, but there were guards there, I couldn't get in, I could only look at the door, it was dilapidated and desolate inside, I didn't see Xiao Mo.

I was assigned to Song Tinglan as a palace maid, and Song Tinglan was promoted, obviously she had never served in bed, but she was promoted to a concubine.

The harem changed all of a sudden, and I felt a little scary, always feeling that there were a pair of eyes staring at me, the kind of fear hidden in the dark.

Although I live in the Depth of Field Palace, I don't often stay in the Depth of Field Palace, but I will run to the food division, occasionally make a sugar gourd, and no one will come to eat it.

I licked it, sweet, so sweet.

Speaking of sugar gourds, I think of Nameless, I haven't seen him for a long time, he is also gone, I went to find mung beans, mung beans have lost some weight.

"Look at your master, he didn't come, so he left you here, and said that he would take care of you?" I hugged the mung bean and muttered to myself, but it didn't pay attention to me, and meowed and looked around.

It suddenly broke free from my grasp, and I heard the footsteps of someone approaching, and I hurriedly scooped up the mung beans and hid in the shadows.

The mung bean "meowed", and my whole body became nervous.

It was a man's figure who walked in, a little familiar, and he whispered, "Mung Bean." ”

It's nameless!

I came out of the shadows and said, "Long time no see." ”

He was taken aback, and looked back at me, and I saw that he was dressed more casually than when I first saw him, and he had lost a lot of weight, and his cheeks were sunken, and I thought to myself: Is this the owner with the cat or the cat with the owner?

"It's you, do you make sugar gourds?" He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and found a place to sit down.

"You know the sugar gourd, I didn't do it, next time." I stuffed the mung beans into his arms and complained, "Don't you don't raise mung beans anymore, you see it's all thin." ”

He touched it and said, "It seems to be thin, it's okay that it's a big fat cat, it's good to be thinner." ”

"Can't you talk properly?" I sat down beside him, in this palace, my nerves were tense, no one dared to believe it, I was tired to death, and I could relax when I saw Nameless.

Nameless still replied with familiar words: "No." ”

The two of us sat in silence for a while, and I touched the mung bean, and now the mung bean was obedient, motionless in Nameless's arms.

"A lot of things have happened in the palace recently, you haven't been here for so long, have you heard of it, Wen Soft is going to be a queen, it's terrible." I feel it.

Nameless glanced at me and said, "The Luo family supports the Wen family, but it has finally reached a new level of relationship." ”

"You have to taunt me? That's the Luo family, it's none of my business, I'm about to be killed by Wen Soft, it's too late to hate her. I said with disgust on my face.

"Who knows if you really had an accident or pretended, who would believe that you stayed in the ice cellar for so long and were unscathed?" Nameless said disdainfully.

"You man!" No, I get every time I talk to him, wait a minute, I react "Huh? What do you mean...... Is it because you don't like to be soft too? Which family are you from? Does your family also support the Wen family? ”

"Nope." Nameless replied decisively.

Me: "Then do you hate the emperor?" ”

"Why should I hate him?" Nameless asked rhetorically.

"Then you don't support the Wen family, and you don't hate the emperor......" I grabbed his sleeve and said expectantly, "Then we can cooperate!" ”

"Cooperate with what?" Nameless glanced at my hand and asked with a blank face.

I excitedly said, "We'...... How about helping the emperor bring down the Wen family? ”

"Naive." He silently withdrew his hand and sarcastically said.

I knew he would do this, but I didn't give up and continued to persuade him: "Why are you naΓ―ve? How do you know if you don't try? Are you scared? ”

Nameless said confidently: "Hmph, I'll be afraid? Then you talk about your thoughts. ”
