Chapter 137: The Past in the Palace
Kou Shu always thought that Concubine Shu would be able to stay in the palace for a long time with the exploits of her father, Lao Dingguohou, but when she heard Concubine Shu's words today, she was a little surprised.
"Not really?" Kou Shu's eyes moved, and her face became a little more interested: "Shufei, what do you mean by this?" ”
Concubine Shu lowered her head, a trace of bitterness appeared on her lips, and continued: "Everyone said that because my father once saved the emperor, the Queen Mother's mother Fuze and me, let me enter the palace as a concubine. ”
Kou Shu nodded, everyone in the palace thought so, and she was no exception. couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and said, "What, isn't the truth the case?"
Concubine Shu nodded, shook her head again, and continued: "You can say yes, you can say no. ”
Kou Shu frowned, revealing a look of eagerness.
Concubine Shu straightened up slightly, as if she was trying her best to remember something, and paused and continued: "When the middle-aged people in the palace went to the palace banquet, they mixed a small house in the palace banquet, and when an official came to give a New Year's gift, he suddenly stepped forward to assassinate the emperor. As if recalling something, Concubine Shu slowly spoke: "My father was also at the banquet that day, just because he was closest to the emperor, he was caught off guard, so he rushed up to block the sword as soon as possible." ”
Concubine Shu's voice trembled slightly, after all, it was her father who had the accident, and she was still quite excited when she recalled it.
"Daddy is dead, and the biggest pillar of the family is down, and my brother is still young," Concubine Shu continued.
"Therefore, the Queen Mother opened her mouth and designated you to marry into the royal family in the future as a little compensation for the given prince's mansion." Kou Shu said.
Nodding, Concubine Shu said, "This is the version that everyone knows." ”
Kou Shu raised her eyebrows: "What does Concubine Shu mean by this?" ”
With a long sigh, Concubine Shu slowly spoke: "Does the queen know who the assassin who assassinated the emperor was, and what happened to him?" ”
Kou Shu was stunned, she had only heard the rumors of this matter, but she had never understood it so carefully. Just thought for a moment and said: "Since you want to assassinate the emperor, you must have repaid your determination to die, and I think that the assassin must be dead." ”
Concubine Shu paused, shook her head and said, "No, that assassin is still alive, it should be said that life is better than death." ”
"It's better to live than to die?"
Concubine Shu nodded and said, "That assassin is from Lanling Kingdom, and after he wanted to assassinate the emperor, he committed suicide by poisoning whether he succeeded or not. But because of my father's obstruction, the assassin did not succeed in committing suicide, and the emperor ......"
Kou Shu immediately understood what Concubine Shu meant. In his later years, the emperor lost his sons one after another, and finally even the most beloved eldest princess died of illness, so his temperament changed greatly, he was unusually obedient, tyrannical, and often tried his best to torture the eunuchs around him......
Concubine Shu continued, "I didn't hear that the assassin had died in the Heavenly Prison until I came to Tianzhou. ”
Kou Shu couldn't help but let out a long sigh, blocking his life for an assassination, and the price was not unheavy. It's just that now that time has passed, the Lanling Kingdom has been destroyed more than 20 years ago, and the assassin has also died, what is there to be afraid of Concubine Shu?
"The person is dead, in fact, these are nothing," Concubine Shu spoke, and then her voice changed, and said: "The most terrifying thing is that during this time, the concubine found the whereabouts of the people of Lanling Kingdom in the palace. ”
"What?"
Concubine Shu nodded and said: "The concubine's father has been dealing with the Lanling people for decades, and once told the concubine that the Lanling people look no different from ordinary people, but in fact, the limbs are longer and longer, the lower body is short, and the walking steps are heavy and the body leans forward, so the people of the Lanling Kingdom, the side of the front side of the shoe is worn out more than ordinary people, and the concubine saw such a person in the palace that day!" ”
Kou Shu smiled lightly and said randomly: "The wear and tear of shoes varies from person to person, and Concubine Shu should not be too much of a soldier." ”
Concubine Shu's body trembled, shook her head and said: "Queen Mother, Daddy has been dealing with the people of Lanling for decades, and the method of distinguishing what Daddy said is absolutely reliable. As if remembering something, Concubine Shu continued: "Daddy also once said that Lanling Kingdom used codes, methods of transmitting information, etc., all of which the concubines have seen in the palace. ”
"So Concubine Lan came to the summer resort, and you came with you?" Kou Shu raised an eyebrow; "Concubine Shu is afraid of being sought revenge by those people of Lanling Kingdom who have infiltrated the palace."
Hearing the word "seeking revenge", Concubine Shu's body trembled suddenly, and she said with a wry smile: "Everyone is envious of the concubine who occupies such a concubine position, and will not fall no matter what, but who knows how uneasy the concubine is day and night." ”
Kou Shu raised her eyebrows, noncommittal, and then said: "Concubine Shu, you don't have to worry too much, if you are completely sure of this matter, go and tell the emperor." If not, you can also tell Vice General Bai Yaobai and ask him to send more people, thinking that even if these people really sneak into the harem, they are not so bold to dare to do it at the feet of the Son of Heaven. ”
Concubine Shu was slightly stunned, slowly got up and stood up, looked at Kou Shu sincerely, and said, "Queen Mother, the concubine knows that you are a good person, and the previous thing is that the concubine can't stand you." After that, Concubine Shu gave Kou Shu another big gift.
When Kou Shu saw Concubine Shu's appearance, she was slightly stunned. I have been fighting with Lan Ruoxuan for so many years, everyone hurts me, I hurt everyone, it is the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, and I have never met someone else who hurt me, and I came to apologize with my eyes, but I didn't know how to react for a while.
Looking at Concubine Shu's distant back, Kou Shu's brows slowly condensed, and she wanted to call Yuan Ming with a code. I compared it twice in a row, but there was no response.
Kou Shu frowned, only to see Yuan Yun push the door in, looked at herself with some embarrassment, and said, "Niangniang-my brother is not here." ”
"Absent?" Kou Shu's eyes showed a hint of puzzlement: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Brother, he ......" Yuan Yun's voice slowly decreased, and he didn't seem to know how to explain: "Brother, he's out." ”
Kou Shu's brows furrowed even deeper: "Yuan Yun, you make it clear, where did Yuan Ming go?" ”
"Poof", Yuan Yun knelt down and said: "I beg my mother to forgive my brother, my brother heard that there was a problem with Shuangying next to Concubine Lan that day, and he took it upon himself to investigate Shuangying, and the slave couldn't stop him, so he had to ......" After that, Yuan Yun kept kowtowing to Kou Shu.
Hearing this, Kou Shu's eyes burst out with more coldness, and everywhere his eyes went, he almost froze people, and with a sneer, Kou Shu said, "Good, good, it's really good." He has such an idea, what else does he want me to do as a master. Why don't you drop one by one, how about him coming to be my master? ”
Kou Shu's words were extremely serious, and she was obviously very angry.
Yuan Yun on the side knelt on the ground, only feeling cold sweat.
