Chapter 149: Gossip

Luo Bei didn't dare to tell Zhou Rui'an, he took someone to the tavern first, Jiang Qingyue drank wine, was beaten again, lowered his head in a trance, and sat on the ground.

Luo Bei almost fainted when he saw Jiang Qingyue like this, what the hell is going on!

Luobei didn't dare to let the guards go to help Jiang Qingyue, but invited two women to help Jiang Qingyue out.

The officers and soldiers came over to ask Luo Bei: "Lord Luo, what do you think should be done with this?" ”

"How? In broad daylight, even if someone is murderous, do you want me to teach you how to do the case?! Bring them all back to me! The store is also closed! After Luo Bei said angrily, he turned around and walked out.

Luo Bei felt that he couldn't hold on to this matter, so he hurriedly took the delirious Jiang Qingyue back to the palace and told Zhou Ruian about it.

Zhou Rui'an's brows sank, and Luo Bei hurriedly said: "The subordinates made their own decisions, arrested the boss who committed the murder, and also sealed the store. ”

Zhou Rui'an saw that the handling was also appropriate, so he asked, "What about Qingyue?" ”

"It's been sent back to the emperor's bedroom." Luo Bei replied respectfully: "My subordinates have checked, and just now the prince went to see the Second Highness." ”

A flash of clarity flashed in Zhou Rui'an's eyes, he bowed his head slightly, and waved his hand: "I know." With that, he strode out.

Zhou Rui'an came to the dormitory, he pushed open the door and walked in, Jiang Qingyue was not lying on the bed, she was sitting on the ground, holding a wine jug in her hand.

Zhou Ruian walked up to Jiang Qingyue, took the wine jug, and called softly: "Qingyue? ”

Jiang Qingyue didn't speak, she turned her head and gently pushed open the window, she looked at the scenery outside, the weather had gradually warmed up, and it was time for spring flowers to bloom, but she didn't feel a trace of warmth.

"Zhou Rui'an, you say, should I come?" Jiang Qingyue asked softly: "Maybe I shouldn't be attached to it at the beginning, what does it matter who I am?" Who are my parents and what can I do? If I hadn't been obsessed with tracing my origins, wouldn't many things have happened? ”

She didn't need to know that her birth was a mistake, it was a child born as a product of cheating, she had always felt that there was nothing good about being the daughter of Emperor Xuande, but now she found that it was even more sad to become an illegitimate child.

In fact, Jiang Qingyue didn't care who her parents were, whether they were noble, whether they were powerful, she felt ashamed that she was a child born from her mother's betrayal and cheating, which made her feel ashamed.

Zhou Ruian looked directly at her gaze: "Nonsense, if you don't come, how can I meet you?" ”

Jiang Qingyue smiled astringently: "You have tried your best to find out my life experience, and you want to get rid of the identity of Emperor Xuande's daughter for me, but I am not the daughter of the previous emperor, but I can't marry you, and the ministers still won't agree." ”

She has a biological mother who betrayed her husband, a stain on her origin, how could the ministers let such a woman become the queen? The mother of a country represents the face of Dajing!

"I am not married to the queen of Dajing, but Zhou Rui'an's wife, no matter who objects, it will not work." Zhou Ruian said: "No matter whose daughter you are, you are Jiang Qingyue, you are the one who wants to grow old with me, this is enough, I will go to the second prince to ask the truth of the matter, not to block the mouth of the people, I thought you wanted to know who you were." ”

Jiang Qingyue smiled abruptly, "You can hide it from others, you can't hide it from me, you think I'm not the daughter of the former emperor, so if you make me the queen, the minister will have no reason to object, but, I'm afraid even you didn't expect that my real life experience would be so unbearable, right?" ”

Zhou Ruian sat beside her, knowing in her heart that Jiang Qingyue couldn't listen to anything at this time, she had already gotten into the tip of the horns, "Qingyue, Qingyue, that's a matter of the previous generation, it has nothing to do with you, you don't need to torture yourself for these things, you haven't done anything wrong!" ”

Jiang Qingyue pursed her lips, her eyes became gloomy, she lowered her head and didn't speak: "I know, but, why?" What kind of people are my parents? I've been thinking about this since I was a kid, and I've imagined countless possibilities, but I never thought it would be like this! My parents are cheating...... I was born. As she spoke, a flash of humiliation flashed across her face, and she whispered, "If you insist on marrying me, it will be a reason for others to attack you." ”

This is something she can't tolerate, because of herself, bring shame to him, make others laugh at him, and say that his wife is an illegitimate daughter!

Zhou Ruian took her into his arms, patted her shoulder gently, and said softly: "It's okay, it's all over, it's okay." ”

For a woman, the mother's reputation is very important, because the mother's words and deeds will affect the woman's morality, so after a woman's reputation is damaged, her woman will also be greatly affected, and family affairs will be extremely difficult.

Even if Jiang Qingyue was not raised by Concubine Qing, outsiders will think that the bloodline will not change, and her background is already destined for what kind of person she is.

And what Jiang Qingyue cares about is the parents she has been looking for, it is such a shady relationship, which makes her feel an indescribable shame, although people can't choose their own parents, but she doesn't understand, why are they such a relationship?

"I suddenly felt that I was very sorry for the emperor." Jiang Qingyue said in a dumb voice: "My mother is sorry for him, I also hurt him......"

Zhou Rui's head ached, and he couldn't help but hug Jiang Qingyue, "Be obedient, don't think about it, it's not your fault, if there is a fault, it's also my fault, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Jiang Qingyue leaned on his shoulder, closed his eyes and didn't speak for a while.

Zhou Ruian coaxed Jiang Qingyue to sleep, he looked at her sleeping face quietly, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know whether the second prince disclosed her life experience, whether it was good or bad.

Zhou Rui'an sighed, turned around and walked out, and instructed the palace maid on the side: "No one is allowed to go in and disturb, if the mother wakes up, send someone back to me immediately." ”

The palace maids immediately responded respectfully, although Zhou Ruian and Jiang Qingyue have not yet married, but looking at this situation, Jiang Qingyue is the only one who is in the back position.

Zhou Ruian came to the study and called Luo Bei and Liu Min.

When Luo Bei and Liu Min came over, they saw Zhou Rui'an's face full of solemnity, the two glanced at each other, and invariably thought of the rumors outside, Zhou Rui'an would only be so serious when he encountered Jiang Qingyue's matter.

"About Qingyue's life experience......" Zhou Rui'an opened his mouth, "You go and find out to me what happened back then!" What is going on between Qing Guifei and Jing Zhao? Also, what happened to Jing Zhao's death, I have to know it clearly! ”

After Zhou Rui'an finished speaking, his sharp eyes shot at the two of them, both of them were stunned, and hurriedly responded: "Yes!" ”

Zhou Ruian said lightly: "I don't care about those rumors outside, but Qingyue cares very much, so I don't want to hear any more discussions about this matter, understand?" ”

Understood, of course understood, Se Lingzhi was dizzy, they were all used to it!

Liu Min and Luo Bei nodded in unison, and the solemn expressions on their faces were the same.

Soon, the affair about Qing Guifei and Jing Zhao outside gradually subsided, and when a discerning person saw it, he knew that someone was deliberately quelling the rumors, thinking of Zhou Rui'an's attention to Jiang Qingyue, everyone had a sense of understanding.

Jiang Qingyue's life experience can be described as twists and turns, and it is more shocking than wave.

Chen Baobao also heard the rumors outside, she couldn't help laughing, she had an inexplicable feeling of relief, even if Jiang Qingyue was not the daughter of Emperor Xuande? But her background is still not worthy of Zhou Rui'an!

The dignified Jiang Qingyue is actually an illegitimate daughter! It is the wild species of the red apricot of the Qing Guifei out of the wall! Chen Baobao felt a burst of happiness in her heart, she felt that she finally had something to win over Jiang Qingyue, which made her feel that she had never been satisfied.

No matter what others think, no matter how the rumors spread and subsided, Zhou Ruian didn't seem to care about these, he didn't change his mind, and he was still determined to establish Jiang Qingyue as the queen.

But this time, there are still a lot of opponents, the main reason why the ministers attacked Jiang Qingyue was her background, Qing Guifei was moral, with such a mother, how could Jiang Qingyue be worthy of being the mother of the country in Dajing?

And this time, someone took the lead in opposing it, this person was beyond the expectations of many people, even Zhou Ruian didn't expect that this person was none other than Dong Cheng!

Dong Cheng is the old subordinate of the King of Jin, and he is also the person who knows the cause of King Jin's death best, and it was he who recaptured the body of the old King Jin on the battlefield, so that the King of Jin was not insulted by the Tatars.

Later, Dong became to avoid the persecution of Emperor Xuande, and has been incognito, and when he was in Taimiao, he suddenly appeared and told the truth about the murder of King Jin that year, which made Zhou Ruian become the emperor smoothly.

It can be said that with Dong Cheng's identity and experience, even Zhou Ruian has to give him three points, he is a real meritorious hero to Zhou Ruian.

Dong Cheng resolutely opposed Zhou Rui'an's establishment of Jiang Qingyue, and he took the lead in leading the ministers to kneel outside the imperial study, asking the emperor to take back his order.

Zhou Rui'an was very incomprehensible about Dong Cheng's behavior, since the Taimiao, Zhou Rui'an also settled Dong Cheng well, gave him a house, and ordered someone to take care of his daily life.

Originally, Zhou Ruian also wanted to give Dong Cheng a knighthood, but Dong Cheng refused, he had no children, no daughters, and no relatives, the only thing he was worried about was the death of King Jin, and now Zhou Ruian has also become the emperor, he has no desires.

Such a detached attitude made Zhou Ruian look up to him, so when Dong Cheng clearly opposed Zhou Rui'an, Zhou Rui'an felt a headache in addition to being surprised.

He can not care about the attitude of other ministers, but Dong Cheng's attitude, he can't ignore it.

Zhou Ruian invited Dong Cheng into the imperial study, and Dong Cheng's attitude was very excited: "Your Majesty! You must not marry her! She's a witch who is a curse! Her mother was not a good one at the beginning, and in my opinion, this Jiang Qingyue is not a fuel-efficient lamp! If she is the queen, it may not be a good thing for Dajing and the emperor! Your Majesty, you must take back your fate! ”

As soon as Dong Cheng opened his mouth, he slandered Jiang Qingyue, and a touch of displeasure flashed in Zhou Ruian's eyes, this is Dong Cheng, and another person said Jiang Qingyue like this, Zhou Ruian was afraid that he would have turned his face a long time ago.

Zhou Rui'an's tone was quite calm: "Dong Huwei's words are serious, the deceased is gone, don't mention the past, don't mention that Qing Guifei is Qing Guifei, Qingyue is Qingyue, and it can't be changed." ”

Dong Cheng's face changed, and his emotions became more and more excited: "No! Emperor! You must not marry her! She's ......"

"Your Majesty, Commander Liu is asking to see you outside." Xiao Fuzi walked in, interrupted Dong Cheng's words, and said respectfully.

Zhou Ruian breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Let him in." ”

Xiao Fuzi answered, turned around to pass the word, and secretly gave himself a thumbs up in his heart, he was really very good, seeing that the emperor was displeased, and he didn't want to say much to Dong Cheng, he hurriedly came in to interrupt, solving problems for the emperor, is the most important quality that an excellent eunuch should have!

Xiao Fuzi couldn't help but puff up his back proudly, he felt that he had done a good job!

Liu Min quickly walked in, Dong Cheng looked at Liu Min, swallowed the words that came to his mouth, he thought that Liu Min and Zhou Ruian must have something important to discuss, so he thought that it would be okay to talk about it another day.

Dong Cheng said: "Since the emperor has something, the little one will retire first," after a pause, he said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, you must remember that you must not marry Jiang Qingyue!" ”

Zhou Ruian was noncommittal, "Come on, send Dong Escort out." ”

Dong Cheng saw Zhou Rui'an's disdain, his heart was anxious, and just as he was about to speak, Xiao Fuzi walked up and said to Dong Cheng with a smile: "Dong Guard, our family will send you out." ”

Dong Cheng looked at Xiao Fuzi, and then at Zhou Rui'an, who didn't want to talk more, and then reluctantly walked out.

As soon as Dong Cheng left, Zhou Ruian exhaled a breath and frowned in annoyance: "I understand, I marry a wife, and it is not them who marry a wife, why do they all come out to oppose it one by one, but I can't see how I am good?!" After a pause, he said again: "Qing Guifei is Qing Guifei, what does it have to do with Qing Yue?" ”

Liu Min listened to Zhou Rui'an's complaint quietly, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to report, about ...... Jing Zhao's. ”

When mentioning Jing Zhao, Liu Min's expression was a little uncomfortable, as a big internal guard, Liu Min had also heard of Jing Zhao's name before, it can be said that he was a god-like existence in the big internal guard, this time he was ordered to investigate Jing Zhao, and he had a feeling of being close to the object he had been worshiping.

Zhou Ruian raised his eyebrows: "Report it!" ”

Liu Min said solemnly: "Jing Zhao's death is very strange, the rumors are not groundless, Jing Zhao is very likely to be secretly executed by the first emperor!" ”

Zhou Rui'an's expression was awe-inspiring, Emperor Xuande was also extremely important to Jing Zhao at the beginning, after all, Jing Zhao was really heroic, and such a master was not common.

Zhou Ruian thought thoughtfully: "In this way, it seems that the emperor was aware of the matter between Qing Guifei and Jing Zhao, so he killed Jing Zhao?" ”

This is the most reasonable reason that Zhou Rui'an can think of, and found that his favorite woman seemed to have inexplicable feelings for Jing Zhao, and Emperor Xuande was reluctant to give up his concubine, so he killed Jing Zhao.

Liu Min nodded: "According to the clues we have so far, this is the most likely situation, and my subordinates also investigated that not long after Jing Zhao's 'disappearance', Qing Guifei began to get sick, and later Qing Guifei was diagnosed as pregnant," After a pause, he continued: "Later, after Qing Guifei gave birth to a child, that is, after Niangniang, her health deteriorated, and she died of illness not long after. ”

Zhou Rui'an's brows sank: "When I read the medical records of Concubine Qing, she should have been depressed and sick. ”

In this way, then Emperor Xuande found out about the relationship between Qing Guifei and Jing Zhao, and killed Jing Zhao in anger, but at this time Qing Guifei was pregnant, and Emperor Xuande thought that the child was his own, so he did not kill Qing Guifei, as for his thoughts about Qing Guifei at this time, there is no way to know.

However, judging from Emperor Xuande's love for Chen Baobao after the death of Concubine Qing, Emperor Xuande still has a lot of feelings for Concubine Qing.

And Qing Guifei's illness is likely to be related to Jing Zhao's death, her lover died, but she had to stay by the side of the man who killed him, Qing Guifei was of course uncomfortable, and after a long time, she fell ill, and later died soon after giving birth to a child.

Liu Min nodded: "And Your Majesty, this Jing Zhao and Qing Guifei are likely to be old acquaintances." After a pause, he continued: "The first emperor met Qing Guifei when he went down to Jiangnan and brought her into the palace, and his subordinates found out that Jing Zhao had lived in Jiangnan for several years before entering the palace, and it was said that he was looking for someone. ”

When Zhou Rui'an heard this, his eyes flashed, and he whispered two words in Liu Min's ear, a touch of surprise flashed in Liu Min's eyes, but he instantly thought of Zhou Rui'an's purpose, and he nodded solemnly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, my subordinates will send someone to do it immediately."

Zhou Ruian nodded, a flash of worry flashed in his eyes: "I hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible, Qingyue has no appetite recently because of this matter." As he spoke, he sighed worriedly.

Liu Min said with relief: "The emperor can rest assured, Niangniang is not an ordinary woman, she is broad-minded, now she just can't think about it for a while, give her some time, she will be able to figure it out!" ”

Zhou Ruian glanced at him: "You know her quite well?" ”

Liu Min blinked innocently, what should I do? It seems that he is regarded as a rival by the emperor?

"Nope! Didn't understand at all! Liu Min categorically denied: "It's just that the woman the emperor has a crush on, naturally it's extraordinary." ”

Zhou Ruian glanced at him, too lazy to bother with him, he sighed: "And Dong Cheng, after all, he is the person next to his father." ”

Zhou Ruian felt a headache when he thought of Dong Cheng, didn't he say that he would take care of his old age, why did he start to oppose his marriage again? This makes Zhou Ruian, who has not been managed for many years and has no father or mother, extremely unaccustomed.

Liu Min didn't speak, he couldn't answer this.

"Alright, you go down, don't forget my words." Zhou Rui'an commanded.

Liu Min breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly saluted and retreated.

Soon, new rumors appeared in the capital, which were about Qing Guifei and Jing Zhao.

Rumors say that Qing Guifei and Jing Zhao were originally a pair of lovers who loved each other, and the two had a marriage contract for a long time, but they didn't expect that Qing Guifei was outstanding, and was favored by Emperor Xuande and forcibly brought back to the palace.

Qing Guifei is just a commoner woman, how can she refuse the emperor? In desperation, he followed Emperor Xuande back to the palace.

After Jing Zhao went home, he disappeared his lover, so he was naturally anxious, and after searching for many years, he found that his lover had become the emperor's favorite concubine, and the two of them were no longer possible.

Jing Zhao was heartbroken, but he couldn't forget his former lover, and finally he followed Emperor Xuande's solicitation and decided to follow Emperor Xuande and be his bodyguard, just to be able to see his lover occasionally.

A pair of loving lovers in the past, but now they are facing each other day and night, but they can't love each other, what kind of pain and torture is this?

At a chance, the two finally remembered the old happy times and rekindled their old love.

In this way, Concubine Qing and Jing Zhao became hard-working mandarin ducks who were beaten with sticks, and Emperor Xuande became the bad guy who broke up a couple.

As for Jiang Qingyue, it has become the crystallization of the bitter love between Qing Guifei and Jing Zhao.

I have to say that this rumor was very much in line with the imagination of the people in the capital at that time, and this story was quickly accepted by everyone and taken as the truth.

Robbing people's daughters is indeed something that Emperor Xuande can do, after all, Emperor Xuande can even grab the throne, what is a woman?

And Qing Guifei and Jing Zhao, a beautiful woman and a hero, isn't this the story of the beauty hero in the legendary book?

So soon, public opinion turned to this pair of hard-working mandarin ducks.

If you say it according to the current words, Emperor Xuande's popularity is really bad, and he was obviously cuckolded, but no one sympathized with him.

When Jiang Qingyue heard this rumor, she couldn't help but be stunned, she immediately knew that this must be Zhou Rui'an's handiwork.

Instead of feeling comforted, she felt a little angry.

Jiang Qingyue went to find Zhou Rui'an: "Do you think this can change my background?" After a pause, she continued: "A bitter story doesn't change anything. ”

"I don't think it's a story, I think it's the truth." Zhou Ruian said calmly: "I don't want to change anything, I just want to tell you the truth, I also want to tell you that your birth is not a mistake, you came to this world because of love, or the process is not satisfactory, but your parents love each other." ”

Jiang Qingyue pursed his lips, but his eyes were a little red, he always knew her, and he also knew where her heart knots were, so she had to be moved.

"Thank you, Rui'an Zhou." Jiang Qingyue said softly.

Zhou Ruian said without hesitation: "If you thank me, then marry me!" ”

Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but laugh.

Zhou Ruian breathed a sigh of relief and held her hand: "It's finally a smile, do you know that you haven't laughed well in the past few days." ”

Jiang Qingyue's heart became more and more moved, "It's ...... worried you"

Such a beautiful scenery is his opportunity, Zhou Rui moved with peace of mind, and was just about to speak, but Xiaofuzi hurriedly broke in.

"Your Majesty, it's not good! Dong Guards were killed! Xiao Fuzi said with a panicked face.
