Gu Shanchang's heart knotted as soon as he left, and his condition improved at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. Within two days, it was back to normal.

As the only best friend of Empress Dowager Yu, and in the palace, Gu Shanchang never showed up in the mourning hall. The careful and perceptive ladies of the command have already noticed the abnormality. However, no one dares to talk too much.

As soon as Empress Dowager Yu died, the harem completely became Queen Xie's world.

Empress Xie seemed to be gentle, and she always had a little smile on her face. But she defeated the Empress Dowager Yu in the harem in just three years, and this ability is terrifying and terrifying.

Everyone knows the weight of Gu Shanchang in Queen Xie's mind, and talking about Gu Shanchang in private at this time is no different from the old birthday star eating arsenic.

At the same time, a rumor about the real cause of Empress Dowager Yu's death quietly circulated.

Hearing that the envoy of the Zhao court confessed that the Empress Dowager Yu had secretly murdered Emperor Jianwen, all the princes and princes entered the palace together to interrogate the Empress Dowager Yu, and the embarrassed Empress Dowager Yu vomited blood and died......

This secret rumor came out of nowhere, and in just a few days it quietly spread among the noblewomen of the ordained. The ladies were shocked and couldn't believe it, but they couldn't help but secretly sigh that the emperor was benevolent.

Obviously, he can use this incident to completely step the Empress Dowager Yu into the dust. The emperor tried his best to suppress the matter and handle the aftermath for the Empress Dowager Yu. Such a generous mind is really admirable!

No one would have thought that the real intention of the emperor and queen was to keep the filial piety period for another three years.

These rumors naturally also reached the ears of Xiao Yuhan and others.

Xie Mingxi knelt for a long time, got up and went to rest. Xiao Yuhan naturally got up together and said softly, "I'll rest with my younger siblings for a while." ”

Xie Mingxi quickly glanced at Xiao Yuhan and nodded slightly.

Yin Xiaoxiao also stood up at this time: "I'll go too." ”

……

There is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, it is not obvious on weekdays, but when it comes to a critical time, you can always get a glimpse of one or two.

Among the concubines, Zhao Changqing is a few years older, is a disciple of the Empress Dowager Yu, and has the deepest feelings for the Empress Dowager Yu.

In order to survive, Zhao Changqing made a wise choice and stood on Xie Mingxi's side. can talk about feelings, but it is not as good as the intimacy between Xiao Yuhan, Yin Xiaoxiao and Xie Mingxi.

“…… Seven brothers and sisters, there are not many people who know the truth about the death of the queen mother that day. ”

Xiao Yuhan frowned, looking worried: "The emperor ordered that it should not be spread outside, so as not to let someone discuss this matter in private." In the past two days, I don't know who spread the news. The noble ladies who knelt down were actually passed on by word of mouth. My mother told me about this privately to remind my seven siblings. ”

The Xiao family stood in line in time and surrendered to the emperor and queen early. When Mrs. Xiao knelt down, she heard such earth-shattering rumors, and immediately informed Xiao Yuhan.

Yin Xiaoxiao also frowned: "I also heard my mother say this." This incident is a scandal for the Heavenly Family. It's quite unseemly to come out. Who is secretly stirring up trouble? ”

A hint of coolness flashed in Xie Mingxi's eyes, and he said lightly: "Through a layer of belly, who can see everyone's minds?" On that day, the emperor issued an edict and strictly ordered that this matter should not be discussed in vain. Only a few cabinet elders in the DPRK and China knew about this matter. ”

"The rumors spread so quickly, someone must have played tricks on them."

"I have sent a message to the emperor. I'm going to find out this troublesome villain! ”

Xiao Yuhan and Yin Xiaoxiao glanced at each other, sighing in their hearts.

The dragon chair above 10,000 people is not so easy to sit firmly. Since Sheng Hong ascended the throne, there have been no big winds and waves, but all kinds of cumbersome and bad things have not been broken.

Xie Mingxi was the calmest and calmest one, and in turn comforted Xiao Yuhan and Yin Xiaoxiao: "Although this matter is not decent, it does not hinder the overall situation." What the emperor did was bright and open, and there was nothing to blame. And you need not worry too much. ”

Xiao Yuhan replied calmly: "That's what I said." We're overthinking. ”

Yin Xiaoxiao has a straightforward temperament, and her speech is extraordinarily direct: "If you have something to do with us, don't be polite, just give orders." ”

Xie Mingxi's heart swelled with warmth.

There are people who stand firmly behind them, whether they can use it or not, but this intention is extremely valuable.

"Okay," Xie Mingxi responded with a smile: "When I need your help, I won't be polite." ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, drank a cup of tea, ate a few pieces of vegetarian snacks, replenished their excessive physical strength, and then went to the mourning hall together.

……

After Sheng Hong received Xie Mingxi's message, he was quite angry, called Zhou Quan over, and ordered him to secretly investigate where the rumors came from.

There are not many people who know about this, there are always more than ten of them, either the prince of Daqi and the prince of the county, or the old and important ministers of the central cabinet. It is quite inconvenient to investigate.

Five days later, Zhou Quan replied privately: "...... This matter was reported by the princess of Yiyang County. ”

Sheng Hong frowned, anger flashing in his eyes.

The King of Yiyang County and the King of Fenyang County are brothers, a few years older than the King of Fenyang County. On weekdays, he walks closely with the king of Fenyang County, and in the eyes of everyone, he is an unswerving supporter of the king of Fenyang County.

On the same day, he entered the palace to hold the Empress Dowager Yu accountable, and the king of Yiyang County was also among them. Unexpectedly, he deserved it well in person, and turned his face and told the princess of Yiyang County about it.

This princess of Yiyang County, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, passed on such secrets of the heavenly family.

Sheng Hong suppressed his anger and ordered someone to summon the king of Fenyang County.

When the king of Fenyang heard that this was done by the king of Yiyang, his nose was almost crooked. Immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Please let the emperor calm his anger and listen to the minister." Weichen remembered the emperor's dictation and never said this in front of anyone. I don't know what the king of Yiyang County did. ”

"Ask the emperor to learn clearly!"

Sheng Hong glanced at the King of Fenyang County and said coldly: "I believe that you have nothing to do with this matter. However, the king of Yiyang is your brother, and you move around closely on weekdays. In the eyes of everyone, what the king of Yiyang did was similar to what you did personally. ”

Isn't it?

That's the most frustrating part. It's like falling into a pool of mud, and you can't tell how to wash it away.

He took every precaution, but he didn't prevent being stabbed in the back by his brother.

The king of Fenyang County sighed with a bitter face: "It is enough for the emperor to believe in Weichen. Please ask the emperor to believe in Weichen again and hand over the matter to Weichen. Weichen personally went to interrogate the king of Yiyang County, asked the matter clearly, and then went back to the emperor. ”

The king of Fenyang County hopes to atone for his crimes.

In any case, as the Zongren Mansion Zongzheng, he failed to restrain the king of Yiyang County, which was his dereliction of duty.

Sheng Hong nodded, and glanced meaningfully at the king of Fenyang County: "Okay, I will believe you again." I hope you won't disappoint me. ”

The king of Fenyang County felt a pang in his heart, and he was grateful to Dade for his response. Secretly gritted his teeth in his heart, he must find out this matter clearly!
