Chapter 437: Replacement of the Empress Candidate

Unexpectedly, Chu Lixue snatched Ning Xiang's purse, Ning Xiang just looked at Chu Lixue with a smile and said nothing, which made Chu Lixue even more puzzled this time. I thought I could see Ning Xiang's shy appearance, but it seems that she is destined to be disappointed.

"Niangniang, if you are pregnant with a child, don't be so childish anymore, if you like the purse, I will give it to you, don't make such a big move, so as not to move the fetus."

Hearing Ning Xiang say this, Chu Lixue suddenly felt that this tone was very familiar, just like the long-winded Tang Seng in the movie Journey to the West.

Chu Lixue took the purse and looked at it carefully, this purse is male, the pattern on it, and the appearance of this Yingluo, it seems that it is her technique, and she has only made one such purse, and that purse is in Nangong Yihan's hand.

Ning Xiang saw Chu Lixue looking at the purse, and then said with a smile: "Niangniang, is it very familiar to look at the purse, it was sent by the emperor to the remnant wind last night, and there is a letter to Niangniang in it." After finishing speaking, Ning Xiang quietly withdrew.

No wonder this bastard didn't come looking for him, it turned out that he already knew where he was in the early morning, could it be just because he knew his whereabouts and knew that there would be no danger so he ignored it? So, what about what happened a few days ago, does he also know everything?

Thinking of this, Chu Lixue felt that Nangong Yihan had changed, in the past, he would not have put his own safety at risk, but now he just asked the close guards to send the purse, does it mean that in Nangong Yihan's mind, he is gradually not so important?

In the courtyard, Ning Xiang and Wan Feng sat side by side on chairs, telling each other about their thoughts these days, because of their own children, the two of them had to be temporarily separated, but Ning Xiang and Wan Feng did not complain about anyone, after all, if there was no match between the masters of both sides, they would not have today's happiness.

"Ning Xiang, you have to take good care of Niangniang, Niangniang is pregnant, and the emperor can't leave the palace, if Niangniang wants to be crooked, you have to persuade more." The remnant wind said softly.

"I understand, you tell the emperor, please rest assured, Niangniang is taken care of by us, there will be no danger, but according to Niangniang's temperament, if the emperor does not come to greet him in person, I am afraid Niangniang will not go back." Ning Xiang worried.

"Otherwise, you still persuade Niangniang to let Niangniang go back to the palace, now that the news of Niangniang's departure from the palace has spread, those courtiers are all thinking about letting the emperor abolish Niangniang."

"Abolish the mother? Why? Ning Xiang protested.

"According to the ancestral system, in addition to not interfering in the affairs of the harem, the harem concubines are not allowed to leave the palace without permission. What's more, Niangniang is not leaving the palace without permission, but leaving the palace, those ministers will definitely make a big fuss when they seize the news, Niangniang really shouldn't leave the palace and give those people a chance. ”

"Then how can you blame Niangniang, obviously the emperor himself is eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, there are so many concubines by his side, and he feels that Niangniang is not so important." Ning Xiang said unhappily.

She saw with her own eyes how Chu Lixue paid for the emperor, and besides, she also longed for the marriage of one couple for a lifetime that Chu Lixue said. Now that Remnant Feng is still single-minded to himself, it is difficult to guarantee that one day he will have a higher official position, and he will have three wives and four concubines, and when the time comes, will she, a wife without noble status, also face the end of being disliked.

At this time, Nangong Yihan was sitting on the dragon chair, listening to the ministers' dissatisfaction with Chu Lixue's departure from the palace.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother's departure from the palace this time, has brought a lot of impact to Beichen's reputation, since the founding of Beichen, no concubine has left the palace because of jealousy of other concubines, the queen mother did this, obviously there is no room for people, such a person is really not suitable to be the queen of Beichen, and please ask the emperor to choose another competent person." Ding Shangshu said respectfully.

Hearing this, Nangong Yihan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then according to Ding Shangshu's meaning, the queen has to be replaced?" ”

Hearing that Nangong Yihan's tone was wrong, Ding Shangshu did not rush to answer, but gave Qin Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites a look, and motioned for him to persuade the emperor from the level of etiquette.

Qin Shangshu stepped forward very cooperatively, "Your Majesty, what Ding Shangshu said just now is not wrong, even if it is an ordinary woman, she has to take a concubine for her husband, but the queen mother is ......"

"But what? Could it be that your daughter can enter the palace as a concubine, isn't it arranged by the queen herself? Ding Shangshu, you said that you think that the queen's candidate should choose a more virtuous person to take on the role, so Ding Shangshu can have a candidate? Nangong Yi said coldly.

"In this ......, among the emperor's current harem concubines, there will definitely be candidates who can be qualified for the position of queen, as for which one should be chosen to become the queen, Weichen feels that the emperor can choose from the aspect of conduct." Ding Shangshu said respectfully.

Hearing Ding Shangshu say this, Nangong Yihan sneered in his heart, which of these ministers didn't want their daughter to sit on the throne of the queen, and how many of them would really think about it for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji? Isn't it for the power of his own family?

"Hmph, then according to Ding Shangshu's meaning, among the harem concubines, Ding Shuyi gets along the most with all the concubines." Nangong Yi said coldly.

Hearing this, Ding Shangshu was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the emperor to be the first to mention his daughter, just now he was still thinking, if the emperor mentioned Concubine De first, then he mentioned Concubine De's murder of other concubines, there is such a precedent, Concubine De must have no chance with the queen's throne, then the rest of Lei Shuyi and Xu Shuyi, these two were originally concubines, and they were demoted because they did something wrong, so those who did nothing wrong were only their daughter Ding Ruolan.

Now that the emperor has already mentioned Ruolan, I think about it, in the emperor's heart, Ruolan is indeed very valued by the emperor. "The emperor is sage, Ding Shuyi is gentle and graceful, and treats the harem concubines well......"

"Ding Shuyi? Is she also gentle and graceful? Ding Wei, do you think I don't know anything in the palace? A few days ago, someone sent you a gift from your house, do you think I don't know? Nangong Yi said coldly.

Hearing Nangong Yihan mention the big gift, Ding Wei frowned slightly, he originally thought that he was doing this very secretly, but he didn't expect that even the emperor knew about it. So, what is that big gift, will the emperor know it all?

"Your Majesty, someone did send something to Weichen's Mansion a few days ago, but it is definitely not a gold and silver treasure to bribe Weichen, please believe Weichen." Ding Wei said timidly.

If the emperor knew that someone had sent the head of the king of Xinqizhen to his mansion, the emperor would definitely think that the mastermind behind the assassination of the queen was his own. However, if the emperor only thought that someone had given him a bribe, as long as he proved to the emperor that it was not gold or silver treasures, there would be no big problem.

As for how to prove the contents of the box to the emperor, I'm afraid it will take some thought. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing for the emperor to be suspicious of his daughter.

Thinking of this, Ding Wei knelt on the main hall, kowtowed deeply, and continued: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send someone to search Weichen's house. ”

"Ding Shangshu, I really believe that it was not gold, silver and jewelry that were delivered to your house that day, but, Ding Shangshu, there is a human head in your house, so the ladies in the house are not afraid?" Nangong Yihan raised his eyebrows and said.

Hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned, someone actually sent a human head to Ding Wei's mansion, how did the emperor know about such a secret thing? Could it be that the emperor ......, no, if the emperor really wants to deal with Ding Wei, as long as he catches the evidence of his impropriety as an official, he can be dismissed, why use his head to threaten. The matter of sending the head to the people's mansion, I'm afraid that only the people in the rivers and lakes will do this.

"Your Majesty, the emperor also knows about someone who sent Lord Wang's head to Weichen's house? Wechen has been thinking about how to deal with it, now that the emperor already knows, he also asks the emperor to call the shots for Wechen, and he also wants to avenge Lord Wang. ”

"Revenge? Calling the shots? Wang Tong is innocent at all, and he dares to assassinate the queen with the city guard privately, Ding Wei, do you really think that you don't know anything about what you did with Wang Tong? Nangong Yihan said angrily.

"The Emperor's ......"

"I also told you today that the queen did not leave the palace, but went privately in the folk micro-service for me, if any of you dare to mention the matter after the abolition, I will abolish him first." After finishing speaking, Nangong Yihan threw up his sleeves and strode out of the court.

Ding Wei knelt on the ground and waited for Nangong Yihan to leave, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, the emperor actually knew everything, and what he said just now was also a warning to him, if there was any more action against the queen, the emperor would not let him go.

In the Hanxiang Pavilion, Ding Ruolan was holding a teacup in his hand and was in a trance, his father sent a message to Lord Wang Tong in Xinqi Town, asking him to kill the queen on the spot as a felon, but unfortunately, Lord Wang Tong not only did not kill the queen, but was also killed, that person was able to kill Lord Wang Tong, so would that person enter the palace to kill her?

Just thinking about it, Fei'er walked in quickly, "Niangniang, Niangniang, Niangniang, Niangniang." ”

Hearing Fei'er's voice, Ding Ruolan came to her senses, and accidentally spilled the water in the water cup on the back of her hand, "Oops." Ding Ruolan screamed, and the tea dripped on the back of Ding Ruolan's hand, which was pale red.

"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Ding Ruolan said unhappily.

"Niangniang, today the emperor reprimanded Lord Ding in the court, and the emperor also knew that Lord Wang Tong had been killed."

"What? The emperor knows everything? Ding Ruolan said in a panic.

Since the emperor already knows about Wang Tong's killing, it is very likely that the emperor also knows that all this is related to her, so will the emperor also ......

Just thinking about it, I heard a eunuch singing outside, "The emperor has arrived in ......"
