Chapter 186: Who Are You Afraid of (2)

This rumor is convincing.

After the death of the first queen, the second position was vacant for many years, and the first emperor suddenly established the queen in his later years, regardless of the opposition of the courtiers. Then, the new queen participated in politics, and in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there was a faction represented by the left minister who was loyal to her. The new queen's methods were cruel, blatantly suppressing the emperor's relatives, courtiers and foreign officials, and many officials in the court dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Including at that time, Zuo Xiang supported the second son of the first emperor, King Jin, and she also helped Zuo Xiang to suppress the prince.

When she was in Qingcheng, she could see that this queen mother seemed to be different from the legendary first emperor and queen, but another part of the rumors seemed to be unmistakable ᅳᅳ The new emperor had unusual feelings for the queen mother.

The two of them went to Qingcheng alone, and after concealing their identities, she was a female official, the king of a country, but she became a guard. When her whereabouts were unknown, he did not hesitate to reveal his identity and directly took Zhao Tianhui's life, and later searched for it all night. Later, when she entered Beijing and entered the palace, she heard a lot of rumors that I didn't know whether it was true or not, including that the emperor often spent the night in Jinghe Palace.

If the emperor has no affection for the queen mother, how can he do this.

Then, she has thoughts about the emperor, but the emperor does not necessarily think that she will offset the merits, he must think that she entered the palace to murder the queen mother.

Looking at Tinglan, who had been silent for a long time, Chi Yan knew that she was thinking about her words, so she didn't bother, she walked to the side, and her fingers gently stroked the strings. When she was a child, her mother taught her, but at that time, she was young and didn't like to practice hard, and her parents felt sorry for her, as long as she cried and made trouble, they would compromise her, so until now, she can't play a complete song.

I don't know what happened to my parents and brother. Chi Yan thought about it and couldn't help but sigh.

"Queen Mother." Tinglan noticed Chi Yan's movements, and after slowly taking two steps forward, she spoke softly.

"It looks good." Chi Yan was afraid that Tinglan would mind, so she quickly withdrew her hand.

"Queen Mother, Tinglan entered the palace, she is indeed selfish." Ting Lan looked at Chi Yan and explained in a low voice, "At the beginning, Zhao Tianhui forced my brother to pay high taxes, and because my brother couldn't come up with the money, he sent someone to tie him up in prison and beat him to death. After my brother left, my parents were overly sad and fell ill for a long time, and soon they also left. But Zhao Tianhui still refused to let my family go, and he threatened me with the lives of my uncle and aunt to do things for him...... I wanted to say no, but I couldn't ......"

Chi Yan listened quietly, expressing understanding and sympathy for Tinglan's experience in her heart.

Speaking of the past, Tinglan was a little sad, she lowered her head, and after relieving her emotions for a while, she turned around and walked to the window, looked at the big tree with dense branches and leaves on the opposite side, and continued: "I don't like to do that kind of thing by myself, the people of Qingcheng treat me differently, everyone thinks that Zhao Tianhui is a corrupt official, and I am his accomplice...... I once wanted to die, but the lives of my uncle and aunt's family were in my hands, and I had no choice but to accept my fate. ”

Ting Lan sighed and changed the subject: "In the past, when Qingcheng had a visit from the Qin Mission and court officials, Zhao Tianhui asked me to come forward to receive them, and when they were not guarded, he would extract the purpose of visiting Qingcheng from their mouths, in case he could come up with a countermeasure. Many times, I tried to plead my grievances, but the results were too disappointing. ”

"When the Queen Mother and the Emperor concealed their identities and went to Qingcheng, I originally wanted to try again, but at that time, I saw that the Emperor accepted a bribe from Zhao Tianhui. Again, I stopped holding out hope. Ting Lan shook her head, "Later, I helped Zhao Tianhui plot to kill you......"
