Zhiwan stood up and smiled fearlessly, "Queen Mother, don't scare me, I just listened to Mei Xue say a few words, is it really the eldest prince, who knows?" You have the ability, check it yourself, I don't want to have innocent blood on my hands. ”

After a pause, she said, "However, Mei Xue said another thing, when King Lian and Empress Xian were drugged, she saw ...... with her own eyes. ”

Zhiwan said, pursed her lips and paused, her eyes swept over the face of the queen mother and the queen, the queen mother looked much calmer, but the queen's eyes obviously flashed with panic, especially the grandmother who was waiting beside her, her forehead was sweating, Zhiwan hooked her lips and smiled, and she didn't say anything.

Concubine Xian couldn't wait to ask, "What did you see with your own eyes?" ”

Zhiwan shrugged his shoulders and said, "What else can I see, naturally someone has poisoned her, but unfortunately I don't know who poisoned her, Xianggong was afraid that I wouldn't cover my mouth, talk nonsense, and startle snakes, so I didn't dare to tell me, otherwise I would have arrested her and greeted ......her with ten tortures." ”

As he spoke, he covered his mouth, "I didn't say anything!" It's all about playing, there's something going on in the house, so I'll go back to the house first. ”

Blessed body, about to retire, a big disaster, to run away quickly, more and more people feel that what she said is true, since she entered the door, she has not said a word of falsehood, how to think about it, I don't know how to write the word scruples.

The Queen Mother looked at Zhiwan's back, her brows were slightly furrowed, she always felt that something was wrong, what she said seemed to be right, there seemed to be something wrong, and she was almost right about the eldest prince. It's just that he has changed from a beggar to a roadside person, and it is Gonggong Xu who holds the eldest prince, and he has become a mysterious person. The more this is the case, the more frightening it is, Mei Xue and Gonggong Xu have a deep relationship, while thinking about it for the eldest prince Zhaoxue, but on the other hand, they don't want Gonggong Xu to have anything to do, and they are even more afraid of the face of the eldest prince, after all, they have been adopted by beggars. Even if the eldest prince comes back, he will lose face.

I just don't know how she knew Mei Xue. Where is Mei Xue now, she has been away from Beijing for two months, and she has seen all kinds of people, and it is easy to find out. She had a hard mouth, and she didn't let go of the news of the eldest prince, the queen repeatedly pressed to ask, she directly kicked the question to the king of Yuejun, and said it directly, even the emperor didn't smell it, didn't this tell them not to be delusional?

Concubine Xian sat there, looked at the queen, and then at the queen mother. pursed her lips and said, "Is what Princess Yuejun said true, is it true that the first queen was calculated to death?" If that were the case. Wait for the first queen to show snow, even if the emperor does not recognize the eldest prince, the king of Zhennan will force the emperor to recognize him, the eldest prince is the eldest son, and there is the backing of the Zhennan Palace, will it be someone else's turn to be the crown prince? ”

The queen's eyes were cold. They had a growing grudge with the Zhennan Palace, once the emperor recognized the eldest prince. Is there still a way for them to live, that incident was so secretive back then, even the princess didn't know, how could a maid know, the queen glanced at the grandmother on her side, the grandmother was sweating profusely, and almost fell to the ground without weak legs, she has been with the queen for many years, knowing that the queen has murderous intentions, she is afraid that she will not survive tonight.

Zhiwan went out of Shou'an Palace, went directly to the imperial study, asked the little father-in-law to call Father-in-law Xu out, and whispered to him two sentences, Father-in-law Xu was puzzled, "Pay close attention to the queen's personal mother?" Notice what she does? ”

Zhiwan told the truth, "If nothing happens, she should take the opportunity to escape from the palace, if she is unlucky, she will be assassinated, remember to save her life, it is of great use." ”

Father-in-law Xu nodded again and again, and Zhiwan said two more words, and Father-in-law Xu agreed to everything that seemed to understand or not.

Zhiwan took a carriage out of the palace, and Gonggong Xu returned to the imperial study, Emperor Wenyuan frowned and was displeased, "What can't she say to you in front of me?" ”

Gonggong Xu took out the pill in his sleeve and said, "The princess of the county gave the slave an antidote pill and asked the slave to save a grandmother's life." ”

Emperor Wenyuan didn't ask again, and after reviewing the folds for a while, Gonggong Xu went down to do something, and then ordered his confidant, and a palace maid came to pass him on.

Gonggong Xu frowned even more, the queen really asked him to question, the princess of the county is really a god.

Gonggong Xu went to the queen's bedroom, Jinhua Palace.

When I went out, I happened to see the grandmother coming out in a panic, Xu Gonggong wanted to call her, she walked away, Xu Gonggong looked at it suspiciously, and after a few breaths, a thief-headed and thief-headed little father-in-law followed.

Father-in-law Xu smiled when he saw it, the appearance of this little father-in-law, at first glance, he was murderous, the queen really wanted to kill the mother's life, the mother had served the queen for decades, and she was loyal, the queen couldn't tolerate her, no wonder the princess of the county asked him to save the life of the mother, there was no major handle, and the queen was reluctant to kill her.

Gonggong Xu continued to step in, and in the main hall, the queen sat on the first seat, and the palace maid knelt on the ground to smear the Dankou on her hand, which was bright red as blood, and was extremely enchanting.

made Gonggong Xu look frightened, thinking that she even killed the grandmother who served loyally, where is Danko, it is clearly human blood!

"Slave Xu An greets the queen's mother," Father-in-law Xu lowered his head and respectfully greeted him.

The queen looked at the Dankou on her nails, waved her hand, and let the maid go down, before she smiled and said, "Gonggong Xu is a celebrity around the emperor, and this palace summons you to come, so it won't delay the emperor's business, right?" ”

Gonggong Xu was a little flattered, "Xu An is just a minion, thanks to the emperor's fancy, he is allowed to serve with him, in the imperial study, there are many subordinates in the palace, and the slaves only go away for a while, and they can't delay the emperor's affairs, but I don't know what the queen is looking for a slave for?" ”

The queen took the teacup, gently fiddled with it, took a sip of tea, and said, "The 'Shifeng Longjing' that is being paid tribute this year, the queen mother will know that it is not genuine as soon as she tastes it, you are the chief manager, and you have to take care of this matter." ”

Gonggong Xu wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said, "That black-hearted person is really bold, even the emperor dares to fool him, it's really dead, don't worry, don't worry, go back in a while, the slave will definitely tell the emperor." ”

The queen was very satisfied with Gonggong Xu's reaction, "The Empress Dowager Fang Cai found the princess of Yuejun to enter the palace, you should have heard about it, right?" ”

Gonggong Xu nodded, "The slave only knows that the princess of Yuejun has also found a slave." Let the servant tell the king of Yuejun that if he enters the palace, tell him to go back to the house quickly. Said that something was wrong. ”

The queen's eyelids moved, "What kind of big deal is it?" ”

Gonggong Xu shook his head, "The slave is also curious, and he didn't say anything after asking the princess of the county." ”

Just like what she asked her father-in-law to listen to, Father-in-law Xu did not hide her, and the queen said reassuringly, "The princess of the county just talked about the eldest prince in the Queen Mother's Palace. The eldest prince is still alive and has been adopted by a palace maid named Mei Xue. Xu An, when the emperor ordered the execution of all the people who served around the former queen, how could Mei Xue alone escape? ”

Xu An's face turned pale, and he knelt down with a frightened plop. smashed the bluestone floor with a bang, "Queen Mingjian, the slave did not disobey the holy will, and the slave didn't know that Mei Xue was still alive." ”

The queen's face was cold, she was really an old fox, in that situation, the queen's bedroom was surrounded by the Praetorian Guards, without his help, how could Mei Xue escape. "Could it be that Princess Yuejun still slandered you, she told the Queen Mother in person that it was Mei Xue who adopted the eldest prince. And the reason why Mei Xue was still alive back then was because you saved her! ”

Anyone can use this trick of intimidation, but in those who know it, this trick is so clumsy, but Gonggong Xu has been rolling in the palace for decades. has already cultivated a perfect ability, and he also loves money. But he takes it in a good way, and only those who are loyal to the emperor can live long and have the life to enjoy the money earned.

The money that Gonggong Xu got in this life was enough for him to live for two or three lifetimes, but most of the money was given by the King of Zhennan, the Emperor, and the King of Yuejun, especially the King of Yuejun, every time he went back to rob the treasury, he would pick one and throw it to him, it was all valuable things, could Gonggong Xu not face him?

He can be favored for decades, not a fluke, but smart, just like now, the queen deceived him, he had to pretend to be panicked, as if you held my life tightly, I was unwilling, but I also had to obey the posture, and there were three points of arrogance, and I didn't admit it to death, "Queen, the slave can be wronged, there was such a big thing back then, the emperor was almost crazy, and the slave served him every step of the way, how could he have time to save Mei Xue?" The emperor can testify to his servants about this. ”

The queen sneered, "In this way, it is the princess of Yuejun who deliberately deceived the queen mother and the palace?" ”

Gonggong Xu wiped his sweat again, his eyes were filled with fear, "The slave didn't say it, the queen shouldn't distort the meaning of the slave, who doesn't know that the king of Yue County loves the princess of the county to the bone, if he knows that the slave said that the princess of the county is not, does the slave still have a small life?" ”

The queen saw that he was really afraid, and her face softened by three points, "King Zhennan has always wanted to overturn the case for the first queen, and the emperor has also loosened up over the years, otherwise how could he delay the establishment of the prince, you let Mei Xue live, even if the emperor wants to kill you, the king of Zhennan will keep you, and this palace will not do anything to you, this palace just wants to know where the eldest prince is now." ”

Gonggong Xu was about to cry, "Queen, the slave really doesn't know where the prince is, the emperor forced the king of Yuejun and almost fought with him, but the prince of the county didn't say anything, if the slave knew, he would have asked the emperor for merit and reward." ”

This is exactly the same as what the princess of the county said, if the emperor can force the king of the county, it is indeed almost like the sun hitting the west, "What about Mei Xue, where is she, you always know, right?!" ”

Gonggong Xu hesitated for a long time, the queen's patience was polished, and the maid passed, and the maid handed over two silver tickets of one thousand taels, Gonggong Xu's eyes lit up instantly, and quickly extinguished, the maid gritted her teeth, added two more, and directly stuffed it into Gonggong Xu's hand, Gonggong Xu pursed his lips and said, "This slave knows some, listening to the meaning of the words of the prince of the county, it seems that Mei Xue is in Kyoto, where is it, the slave doesn't know." ”

The queen was angry, and after spending four thousand taels, she asked such a specious remark, "King Yuejun didn't say what the eldest prince looks like?" ”

Gonggong Xu wrote a silver ticket, but there was a smile in his eyes, and he couldn't hide it, "I heard that he is very much like the emperor, and he is brave, and he should be recruited into the army, just among the three thousand soldiers, which one is specific, the king of Yuejun did not say, but said that he would ensure his safety, and everything will be said when the king ......of Zhennan comes back, so as not to say that it is too early." ”

Gonggong Xu knew that he was speechless, his face was a little embarrassed, and his expression was even more red in the eyes of the queen, what a king of Yuejun, he dared to say bad things about several princes in front of the emperor!

Gonggong Xu said this, which made the credibility of these words rise slowly, and the queen took a deep breath and said, "This palace knows that you are loyal to the emperor, and today's matter ......." ”

Father-in-law Xu hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the queen. The slave will handle the matter of tribute tea and give you and the queen mother a satisfactory explanation. ”

After speaking, he dragged the silver ticket. With an angry face, he walked out of Jinhua Palace.

The queen scolded the fox, and the maid on the side said, "Niangniang, the eldest prince is in the barracks, and it won't be long before he will go out with the king of Yuejun, and when the time comes, he will build a ...... of military exploits." ”

The queen was upset. She thought of the prince of Wei Guo and took people to the barracks. As a result, even the Duchess of Weiguo who was beaten didn't recognize him, that's right, he didn't recognize him, the bastards in the barracks. Stripped the clothes of the prince of Weiguo and put them on a small servant, and then sent them back, the Duchess of Weiguo hugged her son and cried bitterly, only to find out that it was not her son, this matter has been spread all over Kyoto, and the angry Duchess of Weiguo almost hanged herself.

It was Yao Dong who had entered the barracks for a few days who came up with this bad idea, Chu Pei just said that his father and mother couldn't recognize it, there must be a standard, Wei Guogong is still recuperating from his injuries. I had to let the Duchess of Wei Guo judge it, otherwise they would be punished, military order. That is an order, the task must be completed!

The whole army is still applauding Yao Dong's strange approach, but the more the queen thinks about it, the more worried she becomes, if she is somewhere else, she has a way, but she is in the barracks. You can't even get close, let alone find the eldest prince. looks like the emperor, have ordinary people seen the emperor?

There is also a small team leader, a 3,000 government soldiers, how many small team leaders will have, it is estimated that there must be a hundred!

Besides, Gonggong Xu returned to the imperial study, and took the initiative to consciously send the four silver tickets to Emperor Wenyuan, who took them in his hand and looked at them twice, and raised his eyebrows, "What are you saying so valuable?" ”

Gonggong Xu straightened his back, "The queen asked about the eldest prince, this is a reward for the minions, the emperor, the minions have to work hard to fool the past, and they have to buy some good things to make up for ......." ”

"Okay, take it," Emperor Wenyuan threw the silver ticket to Gonggong Xu, Gonggong Xu carefully folded it and put it away closely, how good it is, the money is obtained, the emperor is not suspicious, and he doesn't need to be sneaky, he can use it boldly and confidently, but it is not like those corrupt officials, who hide and choke.

Half an hour later, the confidant father-in-law came to tell the grandmother about it, and the father-in-law Xu nodded, "Close it first, and then send her out of the palace at night, and send it to my house outside the palace." ”

Zhiwan returned to the house, Ye Guiyue had already returned, frowning and looking at her, "Why did the Queen Mother summon you?" ”

Zhiwan took a sip of the tea in front of him, and said with a smile, "The Queen Mother knew the news that the eldest prince was still alive, and invited me into the palace for questioning." ”

"What did you say?" Ye Guiyue pulled her to sit down and asked.

Zhiwan remembered that the Queen Mother was so angry that she almost fainted and wanted to laugh, "I am not stupid, she asked me and said, she also cheated me for my silver, give me 100,000 taels, I may tell her the news, those who cheat my silver are my enemies!" ”

Ye Guiyue's face was full of black lines, and the eldest prince was only worth 100,000 taels in her eyes, so she heard Zhiwan continue, "These days, there should be someone who will find a way to mix in the barracks, you have to be careful." ”

Ye Guiyue hummed lightly, full of doubts, and said with a fake cough, "I asked Gonggong Xu to lie to them that the eldest prince was on an errand under you, and the person was in the barracks." ”

Actually, she doesn't seem to be deceiving the queen and them, whether it is Chu Pei or Ye Guiyue, they are in the military camp, if she has the courage, she can serve them in one pot, but even if the queen dares to kill three thousand soldiers, she will not dare to kill Ye Guiyue and Chu Pei, they are destined to work in vain, and they will mourn for them at night.

But Zhiwan underestimated the shock of the news that the eldest prince was still alive, and he didn't know a word about the shock that the eldest prince was in the barracks.

The Manchu Dynasty was a sensation, rumors spread in Kyoto, and in the next few days, Emperor Wenyuan couldn't wait to pretend to be sick and not go to the court, so he forced him to find the eldest prince, standing on the side of the king of Zhennan to protect the eldest prince, and those who supported the three princes and the four princes wanted the emperor to cut the grass, and there were also those wall grasses, swaying from side to side, after all, the chances of the prince were too great, it was very likely that it would be the future prince, the king of Yuejun did not say who the prince was, everything would wait for the king of Zhennan to come back and make a decision, what does this show?

Once the king of Zhennan returned triumphantly, there were only two ends, either forcing the emperor to appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince, or the emperor did not agree to his request, and the direct result was to force the palace.

In order to cut off such a possibility, some ministers have recommended that the emperor take the position of marshal from the head of the king of Zhennan, and let the general of the west take the position, or the old general Guan, in short, it can't be the king of Zhennan, it's too dangerous!

There is also the audacity to directly impeach the king of Yuejun and shield the eldest prince, which is no different from rebellion, and his title of general should be removed. Another merit can be selected to serve as a general of 3,000 soldiers.

More directly, he asked the emperor to arrest the small team leaders of the 3,000 soldiers and interrogate them one by one. Find out the eldest prince and make a decision.

Only Zuo Xiang stood there, with a puzzled expression, "I heard that the commander of the military camp of the prince of the county often changes, as long as he defeats him in the challenge platform, he can replace him, and it is said that there are no less than five hundred people who have served as the captain of the team at present." ”

Well, the sentence of the left minister became the fuse instead. Your Majesty, listen to it, King Yuejun is the backbone of the sky. There is an idea to replace him, he wants to replace you!

Emperor Wenyuan sat there, with an evil fire in his belly, which pot was not opened. I'm afraid that he will take his place, and I am afraid that he won't take his place!

There was a lot of uproar, and when the time came, Yue'er would not recognize me, and I would strip you naked one by one and hang them on the city gate!

I'm mad at the madman!

The court was lively, and the barracks were even more uproarious.

One of them is the eldest prince, what exciting news, especially the five hundred who have been the captain of the team, they are excited and puzzled, are they not born by their fathers. Did you pick it up?

They never doubted their origins!

I was still excited, but when I heard that the prince was as big as the general, huh. Five hundred captains, four hundred and fifty are not up to the mark.

Get rid of those who obviously don't look like the Great Prince, and there is only one left.

But he's pretty sure he's his own father......

The eldest prince is a fan.

Up to the general, down to the small soldiers, when they meet, they ask if you know who the prince is?

Ye Guiyue was reading in the barracks, and Chu Peiyuanhao brought the wine jar. Fake cough, "We're brothers." It's a brother, and you won't get drunk today! ”

Ye Guiyue turned the page, "You can drink in the army, but if you are drunk, you will be punished with fifty rods, and the three of you will go out first and get the board before coming in to drink with General Ben." ”

"Brother, ......," several people cried, and the conspiracy to get a certain county king drunk and then talk about it died in military discipline before it could be carried out.

But it's not their character to give up, wearing heavy armor, looking at each other to see who is more like the emperor.

Yao Dong got close to them, because he was the princess of Yuejun, and the back door was relatively large, so his prestige in the army was a little great, especially after he really had a bad idea, he didn't see Chu Pei looking at them one by one, Yao Dong gnawed on the steamed buns and said, "It's not right for you to do this, we are all croppers, even the white ones are black, one white covers three ugly, and one fat destroys everything, how can it be like the emperor, I think it is most likely to be like, just a few of your generals, with fine skin and tender meat, the same as the emperor." ”

Yuan Hao patted him on the head, "General Ben is born to his father's mother, and this can still be fake." ”

Chu Pei was a little hesitant, his background was a little unclear, it seemed that he was born to his father, and it didn't seem to be, but with the emperor, it had absolutely nothing to do with it, how could this be? If he were a prince, would his father dare to beat him with a stick?

Rong Jingxuan is even more not, there are a few words floating in everyone's heads: Where is the eldest prince?

The barracks are exploring, looking for the eldest prince is one after another, obviously, there are more meals in the barracks, and there is more meat, there is no way, only those uncles, young men and aunts who can enter the barracks can enter the barracks.

As long as it's a food delivery, and you don't need money, we'll give it in, but after you come in, cough, things are confiscated, and people go to the prison obediently.

No, there are too many vegetables to eat, and it has become a big trouble in the army, some officers and soldiers lifted the tent curtains and came in to say, "General, all kinds of vegetables in the army have been enough to eat for ten days and half a month, and there are still people sending them in a steady stream, I'm afraid they will be broken, should I send some of them out and sell them?" ”

Chu Pei nibbled on the fruit, raised his head and said, "Take it out and sell it, if you sell it, you will send it over, if you have money, you won't earn it in vain, how many batches is this?" ”

"It's the twenty-seventh batch."

"So much, find two clever ones, spread the news, and say that the general is happy, and he wants to drink wine and eat meat for the whole barracks, and let people send hundreds of catties of meat."

"Order!"

Yuan Hao took down the military book covering his face, and gnawed on a lollipop in his mouth, "It seems that it is rare to treat the general as us as leisurely, and worry about eating too much." ”

"It's not just rare, it's unique," Chu Pei laughed, "My mother asked me if the food in the barracks was a special person, not only did it not tan it, but it also grew a few catties of meat." (To be continued)
