Chapter 24: The Peach Grove Stone

Fu Jinyue naturally believed me, and after nodding, she stopped talking.

Xuanyuan Yuze has just come into contact with me, and he doesn't know anything about my character and temperament, although there is also suspicion, but fortunately, he still knows the sense of proportion and does not show too much.

"Alright, let's talk about the rest of the story." I'm going to get down to business.

Fu Jinyue nodded, but her brows were deep, and she still didn't speak, as if she was thinking about something.

"Did my sister think of something?"

Fu Jinyue was stunned for a moment when I asked, and seeing that King Li's expectant eyes were also on her, she shook her head and said: "I haven't thought too much about the Empress Dowager Xiao, during this time, we had better not offend the emperor, with my understanding of the emperor, he can let us once, it can only show that he also has the heart to let the imperial concubine, after all, the imperial concubine is also his own grandmother." ”

Fu Jinyue saw deeply, and everything could be thought of by her.

She's a smart woman, and she's like me in many ways, and I'm afraid that one day she'll find out all about it, and I'm afraid she'll be hit just like me.

Fu Jinyue twisted her willow eyebrows and paused for a while, then looked at me and asked, "Did my sister find something wrong with the Empress Dowager today?" ”

"Well, the Empress Dowager behaved a little strangely when she saw Concubine Wu."

I nodded in agreement and set my eyes on King Li, and Fu Jinyue followed me to look at King Li.

It was King Li, who was probably still thinking about Kong Mingdeng or Empress Dowager Xiao, when he suddenly saw the two of us women glaring at him, he raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked, "What are you doing?" How do you look at this king with such eyes? ”

If among us, the only one who can know what intersection the Empress Dowager and Concubine Wu have had is King Li.

According to the time calculation, when the crown princess was in power, Xuanyuan Yuze had already been born, although he was still young, he had been growing up in the palace, and he might know some things more or less.

And he has always been in contact with the Empress Dowager Xiao, and the Empress Dowager Xiao is not crazy, she will definitely say something to him.

"Okay, well, this king doesn't know much."

He came back to his senses, and after thinking for a while, he knew everything: "This king only knows that the Xiao family and the Wu family were evenly matched in the court back then, and when the king was just born, the Xiao family would naturally use the power of the court to put pressure on the former emperor and canonize the king's son-in-law to inherit the crown prince's throne, but the Wu family obstructed it in every possible way, but it was not the current saint who helped it, but the eldest brother of the king's concubine, King Qian. ”

King Qian, the son of Concubine Liu, was the eldest son of the former emperor, the power was so great that most people would think that the current emperor should be King Qian, but later, because he disobeyed the emperor when the dynasty, he raised troops to force the palace, and fell into a place without a place to be buried.

But none of these seem to have much to do with the Imperial Concubine, at best, it has something to do with Concubine Wu.

"Don't look at this king like this, this is what this king knows......"

Xuanyuan Yuze was halfway through his words, as if he remembered something again, and said directly: "By the way, I don't know about the affairs of the imperial concubine and the concubine Wu in that life, but why the emperor offended his father at that time, this king knows better." ”

I frowned and didn't speak, Fu Jinyue responded directly: "Isn't it that you just don't want to attack Jiang Guo?" ”

"No, it's for a woman."

I don't know if Xuanyuan Yuze did it intentionally or unintentionally, but he actually fell on me, as if to remind Fu Jinyue to beware of me.

"Four years ago, the ninth brother was ordered to attack Jiang Guo, but on the day of Fengcheng's call for battle, he suddenly withdrew his troops, and immediately led the troops back to Yandu City.

The ninth brother in Xuanyuan Yuze's mouth is Xuanyuan Yi, when he said this, his eyes never left me, even if Fu Jinyue was dull, he guessed that this matter was related to me.

"Later, the father asked the ninth brother in the court, and the ninth brother persuaded the important ministers of the court on the grounds that it was not the right time, but after that time, the king saw the quarrel between the father and the ninth brother outside the imperial study, and the ninth brother said that he didn't want to hurt a woman, so he would return to Yandu City, although the king didn't know who the woman was, but the king thought, that woman was extremely important to the ninth brother, and four years ago, if the king knew well, Concubine Jiang should still be in Fengcheng, right?"

I know that Xuanyuan Yuze will kick this ball to me sooner or later, but I think he analyzed it well.

Maybe even I already think that this matter has something to do with me, but is it really related? Only Xuanyuan Yi knows.

"King Li."

The corners of my mouth curled, knowing that Xuanyuan Yi was still doubting me, and explained to myself: "Four years ago, I did have a relationship with Xuanyuan Yi, but it was just a meeting, and nothing happened. ”

I don't want to bear such a big crime.

"My sister is right, although the emperor is stubborn, he is also a sensible gentleman." Fu Jinyue said so, but her doubtful eyes still surrounded me.

"Is that really the case?"

Xuanyuan Yuze stood up, lowered his eyebrows and laughed self-deprecatingly, then raised his head, looked at Fu Jinyue tightly and said: "If this king says that the blood of our Xuanyuan royal family is all love, just for the beauty and not the country?" ”

The look in his eyes, even I could see that it was a true expression, not to mention Fu Jinyue, she should be able to feel it better.

I saw her awkwardly tilted her head under Xuanyuan Yuze's gaze, thinking that she also rejected Xuanyuan Yuze like this, but she hadn't rejected him yet, so Xuanyuan Yuze would fall deeper and deeper.

It's just that Xuanyuan Yuze, as a prince, really can't control his feelings? What kind of deep love is this, so that a man can still have a deep love for him knowing that a woman has become his brother's wife?

"Okay, none of this has anything to do with what we want to say, since Empress Dowager Xiao can't move at the moment, then, what we have to do now is to deal with Concubine Wan."

I quickly diverted the topic so that everyone would not be embarrassed.

Thinking of Concubine Wan a few days ago, since Fu Jinyue has launched an offensive against Concubine Wan, we will not give up halfway.

After all, Fu Jinyue and I will have to go back to the harem in the future, and Concubine Wan seems to have a holiday with Fu Jinyue, so if we can solve her in the cold palace, it will not be in vain to pave the way for our future.

And Fu Jinyue and I are both grudges and have offended us, but it really can't be solved by just apologizing.

If you can't make the other party pay the price of blood, this is not the character of me and Fu Jinyue.

Fu Jinyue cast a grateful look at me, the embarrassed look on her face was swept away, and she immediately seconded: "In the past few days, King Li and my uncle have been suppressing the Ministry of Rites in the court, thinking that Xu Fan should also feel that something is happening in the harem, maybe now he has already guessed what we want to do." ”

"Concubine Wan was grounded by the emperor for three months, and during this period, there is not much she can do, so my sister should attack him as soon as possible, and it is best to attack him before the Ministry of Rites Shangshu has insight into the opportunity, so as to uproot Concubine Wan's power."

Fu Jinyue and I were talking and planning, completely forgetting the existence of King Li, and when King Li heard the end, he still didn't understand what we were talking about, so he asked suspiciously: "What do you two women want to do?" Can this king be understood that you want to make the Xu Mansion full of beheadings? ”

"What do you say?" I smiled at Xuanyuan Yuze, this smile is absolutely insidious.

In the blink of an eye, Fu Jinyue and I glanced at each other, pursed our lips and smiled, and did not explain more to King Li.

King Li shook his head and muttered to himself: "Hey, it's hard to raise villains and women in the world, and they are still two women like wolves and tigers." ”

A few days later, Aunt Liu ran to my courtyard in a hurry, she looked anxious, as soon as she entered my room, she poured herself two glasses of water, and after drinking it gurgling, she said to me: "Concubine Jiang, Concubine Jiang is not good." ”

"What's wrong with my aunt, what's going on?"

Xiaohuan and I were stunned, just looking at Aunt Liu's panting violently, and we didn't know what was going on.

"Concubine Jiang, you come with the slave."

Immediately afterwards, Aunt Liu simply didn't say anything, took my hand, and took me out directly.

The muddy path is full of puddles, and a spring rain last night moistened a peach forest in the backyard of the cold palace.

This peach forest is said to be buried with the corpses of countless concubines of the cold palace, even if no one takes care of it, this peach forest is also extremely lush, compared to the peach forest in Fuhua Temple, it is countless times larger here.

By the time I was brought by Aunt Liu, it was already crowded with women, and in addition to the concubines in the cold palace, I also saw a number of relatively gorgeously dressed Cai girls and harem aunts.

So many people gathered here at one time, and if nothing happened here, I'm afraid no one would believe it.

"Sister!"

Fu Jinyue had already come here one step ahead of me, and it could be seen that Aunt Liu should have been called by Fu Jinyue to find me.

I looked at her with a sad look on my face, and I couldn't help asking, "Sister, what's going on here?" ”

"Look, it's coming out, it's a thunderstone, it's been scorched."

In the peach forest, there were several women's screams, and everyone looked up one after another, but none of them stepped forward to look.

I was pulled in front of the crowd by Fu Jinyue, and I saw three or four guards, under the care of two eunuchs, digging out a huge rock from the peach forest.

What's even more strange is that this stone is actually a humanoid, with a head, a face, and limbs, but no nose, eyebrows, eyes, and no mouth, and its whole body is charred black, as if it has been burned by a raging fire.

But I was sure it was a human form, because it was holding a golden object in its hand, like gold, but I couldn't see it.
