Chapter 131: The Man Behind the Pot

Coming back from the Walnut Tavern, Chu Nian unexpectedly saw Chen Lao guarding the door of the Herb House, frowning without a trace, she hurriedly took a few steps forward and introduced Chen Lao into the house, "Why did Grandpa come here in person." ”

Chen Lao glanced at her and smelled the faint smell of wine on her body, and the old man suddenly said unhappily: "I don't come here in person, how do you know that you stinky girl actually went out to drink?" Let others see what they can say about you, besides, a little girl is drinking outside, in case someone plots against you......"

Chu Nian looked at Chen Lao with a smile: "Grandpa, I didn't drink, it was someone else who drank, besides, you still talk about me, how many times have I said that I won't let you go out of the house alone, do you know how dangerous your situation is now?" ”

Old Chen's unfinished chatter was pushed back by Chu Nian in a few words, so he had to say helplessly: "I'm in an emergency, you girl's family ......"

Chu Nian helped Chen Lao sit down in the water pavilion, poured tea and delivered water before changing the topic and said, "What is so urgent that grandpa will not listen to Nian'er's words?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Laocai's face became serious, and he knocked on the table and said, "I found a record of the whereabouts of that token." ”

Chu Nian's eyes condensed slightly, and he saw Chen Lao continue: "The historian before the death of the first emperor was my colleague, and he had already resigned. ”

Knowing that the old man likes to sell Guanzi when he speaks, Chu Nian was not annoyed, and let him drink the tea slowly and methodically before saying: "Well, the tea is good, and the stinky girl's skills in making tea have improved." ”

Chu Nian smiled lightly: "The last words of the first emperor, won't there be a secret about that token?" But why doesn't even the Queen Mother know? ”

"If the Queen Mother knows, the first emperor won't even have to say his last words like that."

Chen Lao took out a history book, which was originally sealed, and looking at the seal with the seal, he thought that the old man took off the seal willfully.

"The last words of the first emperor said: I regret not being at the beginning, I didn't listen to the proverbs, and now the old man is hanged in the court, sad, sad."

Chu Nian was stunned, and listened to Chen Lao's explanation: "There was a concubine who was framed by the queen mother who was still the queen and fell into the court, and the emperor once favored the concubine very much, but because of the queen mother's affection, he had to endure the pain and send the concubine to the court, and the concubine who entered the court was also made difficult by the queen mother's people in every way, and finally hanged herself. ”

"Does this have anything to do with tokens?" Hearing the old man beating around the bush like this, Chu Nian couldn't help but say.

The old man looked up at her: "At that time, the queen mother only thought that the first emperor was still thinking about the concubine, but when the first emperor was dying, she didn't make a fuss, and left this sentence, and the first emperor went." ”

The first emperor is going to die, what do you still remember a concubine...... There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, and the emperor has been affectionate since ancient times, even if the queen did so many things for the founding emperor before, wouldn't it still be impossible to escape death?

Later, the founding emperor married a concubine again, and the throne was not vacant!

The first emperor sent the concubine into the court, and the relationship between the founding emperor and the queen was not as deep as the relationship between the founding emperor and the queen, so why didn't he remember it until he died?

This is...... Yeting ......

As if thinking of something, Chu Nian's eyes narrowed slightly: "Grandpa, do you know Chen Guifei?" ”

"Yes, yes, the concubine who was beaten into the court is called Chen Guifei...... Which are you talking about? ”

Chu Nian's eyes sank slightly: "I'm talking about Chen Guifei, who was beaten into the court a few years ago......"

If she guessed correctly, what is the inevitable connection between these two Chen Guifei? Otherwise, why are they all Chen Guifei, all because they are favored and are beaten into the court by jealous people?

However, she didn't believe the rumors outside, saying that it was because of the queen's conspiracy...... With the current emperor she knew, she would not make any concubines other than the queen favored at all.

The identity of the first emperor's Chen Guifei must not be simple, otherwise with the current temperament of the queen mother, a concubine without heirs will not be able to enter the eyes of the queen mother at all, no matter how favored she is, the favor will not stay on the head of a concubine without heirs for a long time.

The two Chen Guifei's entry into the court were a little suspicious......

"Nian'er, here is a record of the family of Chen Guifei of the previous dynasty."

Chu Nian followed Chen Lao's fingers and looked over, and only read a line of small characters: "The Chen family in Jiangxi is good at repairing porcelain, and the family is poor. ”

No background......

"Grandpa, what is the background of Chen Guifei now?"

Chen Lao also realized something, and his face suddenly turned pale: "She is an orphan, and the Queen Mother picked it up on the street when she left the palace." ”

"About the record of Chen Guifei of the previous dynasty?"

"Pampered and arrogant, in the two years of his reign, the first emperor dragon fetus was killed countless times."

Scold! This is the queen mother's trick! The same method was used on the first emperor and in the harem of the current emperor...... The Queen Mother played really wishful thinking!

In this way, even if she blatantly killed the heirs of the concubines in the palace, no one could suspect a queen who was not as favored as another concubine.

This Chen Guifei is that...... Blamebreaker?

As for Xiao Chen Guifei, even if the queen was instructed by the Queen Mother to kill the heirs of those concubines, it was Xiao Chen Guifei who was responsible.

When it is determined that the concubines are crippled and crazy, and there is no one who can give birth to an heir, will they be beaten into the court? It's a good way to cross the river and tear down the bridge......

But since he is a backstabber, the emperor will not really favor the "Chen Guifei", so the last words left by the emperor are ......

"I'm afraid it's the first emperor who entrusts him, thinking that since Chen Guifei's pot has been memorized, and he doesn't really love Chen Guifei, the queen mother has no habit of showing off her power when she puts people into the court, he simply promised Chen Guifei to be healthy in the second half of her life in the court, Chen Guifei gave up on herself, and got the favor of the first emperor, and learned that she could live the second half of her life in good health, so she agreed."

"Grandpa means that the first emperor entrusted that token to Chen Guifei? But before the first emperor died, she died! ”

Chen Lao looked at Chu Nian with a serious face: "If the old man, I guess correctly, Chen Guifei was assassinated by the order of the Queen Mother, in order to extinguish the mouth, Chen Guifei didn't have time to tell the secret of the token until she died, the first emperor was afraid that the token would fall into the hands of the Queen Mother, so he planned and let Chen Guifei be 'extinguished', so that even he didn't know the hiding place of the token." ”

Speaking of this, Chu Nian also understood, but frowned: "But the first emperor still knows a general location, and he is unwilling to be buried with such treasures, knowing that Da Liang is afraid that he will fall into the hands of the queen mother in the future, so he will leave such a clueless sentence, just hoping that the descendants of the royal family who know this token can find the token and turn over with the token." ”

Old Chen glanced at Chu Nian appreciatively, and between the two of them looking at each other, their faces were ugly: "That token is hidden in the courtyard." ”

"Come on, go and find out where Chen Guifei lives in the court, whether it is the same as Xian Chen Guifei!"

The orphan has no name and no surname, since it is the second person who carries the pot, the queen mother is not even bothered to take a new name, but fortunately, it is like this, so that they can see the clues!

Dark San responded and turned over, while Chu Nian sat in place with an anxious face.

Old Chen glanced at her vaguely: "Have you already seen the current Chen Guifei?" ”

Chu Nian nodded, just because Chen Guifei is an orphan, so it is easier for her to break the kettle, even if it is not for greed, she has not been able to get the emperor's consent like Chen Guifei in the past, even for a moment, this little Chen Guifei has never had a good life in her life, this time Chen Guifei wants to come out of the court, I am afraid that she knows something, and she has confidence...... Revenge!

Old Chen sighed: "Evil......"

……

"Report, lady, Your Highness asked me to report back, saying that Chen Guifei lived in the former site of Chen Guifei, but she seems to have suddenly received a lot of money, so she mixed very well in the court, and in addition, her background is not as simple as the Queen Mother knows."

Chu Nian looked at Dark San, who had only come back in a quarter of an hour after going out, and glared at him fiercely.

Stinky boy, I secretly went to report the news in advance again!

Dark San touched his nose, and saw Chen Lao asking, "What else did your prince find out?" So what's going on with Chen Guifei's background? ”

"Well......" Dark San seemed to have some difficulty in speaking, "That Chen Guifei is not an orphan, on the contrary, she is even the descendant of the Medicine King of the Medicine King Valley...... Son. ”

When the last two words fell, Boss Chen was taken aback, but Chu Nian was only puzzled for a moment.

It is not difficult to explain why what they clearly heard that day was a voice like that of a eunuch.

Chen Guifei was originally a eunuch.

"Broken sleeves?" It took a long time for Old Chen to withdraw from his shock, "How could the prince of the Medicine King Valley be brought into the palace by the Queen Mother!" The Medicine King knows that my Daliang Imperial Family is going to be poisoned! ”

Chu Nian glanced at Old Chen sideways and reminded: "Grandpa, if Concubine Chen comes out of the court, she will not use the medicine king." ”

The Valley of the Medicine King is a legendary existence, they are not controlled by any forces and countries, they are like a group of immortals who live alone outside, only occasionally descending the mountain to treat those who can get a good commission, and those who pay to poison their enemies.

But there has been no news from the Medicine King Valley for a long time, and everyone thinks that the legendary Medicine King Valley has declined, but judging from Chen Guifei's methods now, no one can see the queen's poisonous symptoms, and listening to the conversation between Chen Guifei and Concubine Liang that day, it is obvious that Chen Guifei can kill the queen a long time ago.

But in order to wait for Concubine Liang's promise, she deliberately slowed down the queen's exhaustion rate, and these drug control methods were enough to silently destroy the entire Daliang Palace.

If she returns to the palace from the court, I am afraid it will be even more troublesome.

"Go back and tell His Royal Highness the Prince, don't act rashly, wait for the Tao family to destroy the Moon Capture Villa, and transfer the queen to the Moon Capture Villa as soon as possible."

Ming Xiu deliberately wanted to capture the Moon Villa to cultivate the queen's body, but he was actually selfish.

It's true to help the Tao family, but it's also true that you want to capture the medicinal spring in the mountain behind the Moon Villa.

That is the root of the fame of the Moon Capture Villa, because of the poisonous spring that is invulnerable to poison after soaking, but the Moon Capture Villa looks closely, except for the people outside the villa, no one has really seen the legendary medicine spring, and many people in the martial arts only think that the Moon Capture Villa is bragging, and no one takes it seriously.

After all, it's not like the Moon Capture Villa doesn't have people who are born, old, sick and die all year round.

Now, Ming Xiu is just a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

……

The newly built Prince's Mansion has not recruited many people, and it is deserted under the moon at the moment.

Ming Xiu sat in the gazebo, looking at the moon in the sky alone, holding a pot of warm wine in his hand, silent.

Dark San fell to the ground suddenly: "Your Highness." ”

"What did she say?"

"The lady said......" Dark San repeated Chu Nian's words, and even learned Chu Nian's serious expression at that time vividly.

Ming Xiu nodded, his eyes indulged and he couldn't see his joy or anger: "Gu knows, you go down...... Wait, look at Chu Nian at night, if anything happens to her, don't forget the punishment last time, this time I'm afraid that I can use the new torture tools......"

"Your Highness! The subordinates are definitely optimistic about Sanniang! ”

"Hmm." Looking at the trembling appearance of the dark three, Ming Xiu nodded with satisfaction, and turned his eyes away from him.

After a long time, Ming Xiu's voice sounded again: "Don't get out yet, wait for Lone to throw you out?" ”

"Your Highness......" The dark three glanced at Ming Xiu without saying anything.

Ming Xiu put down the wine cup: "What's the matter, what happened to Chu Nian again?" ”

Dark San looked a little annoyed, "Your Highness, why don't you make it clear?" Now that Sanniang is misunderstood, His Royal Highness and Sanniang are not having a good time, why bother? ”

Ming Xiu glanced at him and retracted his gaze, "You ......"
