Li Gao heard Yin Huan's command, nodded, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

When Li Gao turned around and was about to go down to give the order, Yin Huan called Li Gao again.

"By the way, go prepare for the draft for me."

"As for the queen's seat, let's leave it empty first."

Yin Huan thought in his heart, Empress Xiao Xiang, who had harmed his heirs, was dead, and now no one would stop him from spreading his branches, so he quickly got some young concubines in.

Yin Huan is no longer young, and the matter of this heir cannot be delayed any longer.

Li Gao replied: "Yes, the slave will do it." ”

The news of Empress Xiao Xiang's violent death soon spread to Yin Jiuyue's side.

Yin Jiuyue was serving porridge in front of the porridge shop at the entrance of Yin's mansion at this time, and the discussion of the people around her was so loud that it was difficult for Yin Jiuyue not to hear it.

"Did you hear about it, this morning the emperor called a herald to go down, saying that the queen died violently!"

"It's such a big deal, how could I not have heard of it."

"You said that Empress Xiao Xiang had been doing well, is this sudden death related to Xiao Yu's manifestation in the Shen Mansion two days ago?"

"I think so."

Yin Jiuyue didn't expect Empress Xiao Xiang to die so soon, and she was a little stunned.

Xiaolian on the side was even more surprised, the former high-ranking Empress Xiao Xiang actually died?

Xiaolian whispered to Yin Jiuyue: "County Lord, what do you think?" ”

Yin Jiuyue thought for a while and replied, "I don't know, maybe Yin Huan secretly killed him, maybe he committed suicide." ”

"According to Yin Huan's attitude yesterday, it is unlikely that Empress Xiao Xiang will die so easily, so I think Empress Xiao Xiang probably committed suicide in despair."

Xiaolian listened to Yin Jiuyue's analysis for a long time before she sighed and said, "Xiaolian guesses, it should also be suicide." ”

"The emperor wants to torture a person, but he can make life worse than death."

Xiaolian remembered what happened to her, if it weren't for her firmness, she wouldn't want to live after being disfigured at that time.

Yin Jiuyue thought for a while and said, "Xiaolian, is Hu Qu here today?" ”

Xiaolian replied: "Haven't come yet, county lord, what's wrong?" ”

Yin Jiuyue said: "Go and explore the tone of Hu Qu's side, and ...... The month is almost up, Shen Muzhi should come back......"

Xiaolian's heart sank, and she said clearly: "Yes, county lord, Xiaolian knows." ”

The news of Empress Xiao Xiang's violent death soon spread to Xiao Rong's mansion.

Hearing the news, Madame Xiao cried to death, and shouted that she wanted to go to the palace to ask for an explanation.

Xiao Rong's heart was very shocked and irritable, and said to Mrs. Xiao: "What do you want?" You don't know what happened yesterday, didn't I tell you? ”

"Killing the dragon son, this is a capital crime, not to mention that Xiao Xiang has killed so much, so that the emperor has never had a suitable heir."

"You say, will the emperor spare Xiao Xiang?"

Mrs. Xiao cried and said, "Master, but, my heart is bitter. ”

"I have only two daughters, and now they are all dead because of the emperor."

Xiao Rong sighed and said, "I'm also unwilling, but what can be done about this." ”

Mrs. Xiao continued: "The emperor only ordered Xiang'er to be placed under house arrest yesterday, and today he said that Xiang'er died violently, I don't believe it, I want to find out the cause of Xiang'er's death." ”

Xiao Rong said helplessly: "What if the emperor really gave Xiang'er to death?" He didn't tell the truth to the world, he just said that Xiang'er died violently, which can be regarded as a mercy. ”

Mrs. Xiao cried to death for a long time before she sobbed: "Master, I want to go into the palace to see Xiang'er's body, see Xiang'er's last face, and send her off." ”

Xiao Rong nodded heavily and said, "You go, send Xiang'er for me, I won't go." ”

"Yesterday, my father, couldn't save her, and I really didn't have the face to see her."

Hearing Xiao Rong's words, Mrs. Xiao felt sad in her heart, her tears dried up but she continued to cry bitterly.

This time Hu Qu came very late, and it was not until the afternoon that Xiaolian waited for Hu Qu.

When Hu Qu was lined up in front of Xiaolian, Xiao Lian took Hu Qu's bowl, filled it with porridge, and knocked the bowl twice with a spoon.

Hu Qu looked at Xiaolian suspiciously, and after coming into contact with Xiaolian's gaze, he remembered the code that Xiaolian had agreed with him before, if Xiaolian looked at the bowl twice, she would have something to tell him.

Hu Qu hurriedly gave Xiaolian a knowing look, and then walked away with the bowl in his hand.

Yin Jiuyue on the side silently watched Hu Qu walk away.

After the soup porridge was over, Yin Jiuyue instructed Xiaolian: "Xiaolian, I want to eat the osmanthus cake from Zuixianglou, you go and buy it for me." ”

Xiaolian knew that Yin Jiuyue was giving herself a chance to find Hu Qu, so she nodded and said, "Yes, county lord, Xiaolian will go." ”

Zhuzhi on the side didn't know the secret of these two people, and when he heard that Yin Jiuyue wanted to eat osmanthus cake, Zhuzhi immediately became greedy, and begged Yin Jiuyue excitedly, saying, "Osmanthus cake? Bamboo branches are also going! ”

"Xiaolian, I'll go with you to Zuixianglou to buy osmanthus cake later!"

Yin Jiuyue looked at Zhuzhi with a smile and said, "Zhuzhi, don't worry, I also have a task to give you." ”

"This porridge shop has been on the table for so many days, and I know that everyone is working hard. So, in order to treat everyone, you go to Yingxianglou and ask the people from Yingxianglou to send fifty roast ducks, and let's eat roast duck together tonight. ”

"The roast duck in Yingxianglou is fat but not greasy, tender and juicy."

As soon as Zhuzhi heard the fifty roast ducks, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said, "Zhuzhi is going!" ”

Yin Jiuyue smiled, in order to lure the bamboo branches away, but he had to pay the price of fifty roast ducks. The drunken incense building that Xiaolian wants to go to is in the west of the city, and the Yingxiang building where Zhuzhi is going is in the east of the city, and the roast duck in the fifty middle school has to wait a lot of time, which is enough for Xiaolian to find Huqu.

After successfully completing the first plan, let's take this opportunity to celebrate, Yin Jiuyue thought.

Xiaolian also watched the bamboo branch bounce away with a smile on her face, and then asked Yin Jiuyue to resign, saying, "County Lord, Xiaolian is also gone." ”

Yin Jiuyue nodded and said, "Go quickly." ”

Xiaolian came to the street behind Prince Yin's mansion to look for Hu Qu.

There are a lot of beggars on this street now, and Xiaolian searched for a while before finding Huqu.

Xiaolian saw Hu Qu sitting with a few beggars, so in order not to arouse suspicion, Xiaolian gave copper coins to these beggars who were with Hu Qu.

A few beggars were happy and thanked: "Isn't this the little lotus girl of Prince Yin's mansion, we are already very grateful for bothering you to give us these beggars porridge to drink these days and prevent us from starving to death." ”

"Miss Xiaolian, you are really beautiful and kind, and you also give us copper coins."

"Little Lotus girl, where are you going now?"

Xiaolian smiled and said, "You're welcome, I'm going out to buy something for the county lord now, I'll go first." ”

After speaking, Xiaolian left, and did not deliberately talk to Hu Qu.

But Hu Qu knew that this was Xiaolian who had something to tell him.

A few beggars got the copper coins from Xiaolian's alms, and they happily discussed it, and went to buy a few hot buns to eat later.

Hu Qu saw that Xiaolian was far away, so he covered his stomach, pretended to have a stomachache, and said, "Ouch, you guys go, I have a stomachache, go to the toilet first." ”

After speaking, Hu Qu hurriedly ran away holding his stomach.

Several beggars smiled and pointed to Hu Qu's back and said, "It seems that the porridge of Prince Yin's Mansion has fed him too much in the past two days, and this kid has actually pulled up his stomach." ”

Hu Qu entered the alley where he had talked to Xiaolian last time, and Xiaolian was waiting for him in the alley.

Hu Qu stepped forward and said to Xiaolian, "Is there any movement on the Showa County Lord's side?" ”

Xiaolian shook her head and said, "There is no movement on the Showa County Lord's side, and today the Showa County Lord was surprised to hear the news of Empress Xiao Xiang's death." ”

"I saw that you came late today, and the two of us met in the palace yesterday, so we didn't have a chance to connect, so I was a little worried, so I came to you on purpose."

Hu Qu nodded and said, "It's been a bit chaotic in the past two days, and I can't figure out why this Empress Xiao Xiang suddenly died." ”

Xiaolian's eyes widened in surprise and asked, "You don't even know the reason?" ”

Hu Qu was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't know...... Yesterday I went to find Grandpa Li, but Grandpa Li just reassured me and said that it was okay for me, but he didn't tell me the reason. ”

Xiaolian guessed that the father-in-law Li in Hu Qu's mouth should be Li Gao, since Li Gao said that this matter had nothing to do with Hu Qu, it means that Yin Huan's side did not suspect this matter to Yin Jiuyue, and their plan was a complete success.

The stone in Xiaolian's heart fell, and she was relieved.

Hu Qu asked Xiaolian curiously: "What is going on, Concubine Lian, can you tell me?" ”

Xiaolian said lightly: "Since even Gonggong Li said that you don't need to know, Xiaolian is not easy to talk about." ”

Hu Qu said with some disappointment: "Yes." ”

"I didn't come this morning, because Empress Xiao Xiang died in the palace this morning, but Gonggong Li went to work on the emperor's draft again, so there were not enough people, so I went up to help deal with Empress Xiao Xiang's funeral."

"Ouch, the corpse of Empress Xiao Xiang died really unsightly, she was hanged, her tongue was stuck out of her mouth, but it took a lot of effort for our people to stuff the stiff tongue back into their mouths. And the slap marks on that face, the swollen ......."

Xiaolian coughed a few times, interrupted Hu Qu's words, and said, "Don't tell Xiaolian these words." ”

Xiaolian thought to herself, this nonsense gossip is really the same as a woman, he is because he is mixed with beggars and has no chance to gossip with others, so he talks a lot when he meets himself.

Hu Qu choked, stopped gossiping, and said, "What Concubine Lian said is that I am too talkative." ”

However, Xiaolian extracted two pieces of information from Hu Qu Fangcai's words, one is that Hu Qu Fang said that Empress Xiao Xiang was hanged, coupled with the slap marks on Empress Xiao Xiang's face, Xiaolian deduced that Empress Xiao Xiang should be unbearable to torture before she cut herself.

Another piece of information, Li Gao went to draft for the emperor?

Xiaolian couldn't help but feel cold for Empress Xiao Xiang in her heart, Empress Xiao Xiang had done a lot of evil things and died very deservedly, but the emperor's attitude probably never had a trace of affection for Empress Xiao Xiang.

Even if she is the queen of the Great Zhou, in Yin Huan's eyes, her life is as humble as an ant.

Xiaolian said: "The emperor's side, there are no orders for the time being, right?" ”

Hu Qu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Xiaolian said: "Then I'll go, and I will connect as usual in the future." ”

After saying that, Xiaolian left and walked out of the alley.

Hu Qu waited for a while and left the alley.

However, Xiaolian and Hu Qu left the alley one after another, but were seen by Zhuzhi.

After Zhuzhi left first, he didn't go far, and suddenly remembered that he forgot to bring silver, so he went back to the house, and happened to see Xiaolian enter the alley on the way, Zhuzhi secretly laughed at the time, thinking that Xiaolian must have been in a sudden internal emergency, so he went to the alley to solve it.

Therefore, Zhuzhi naughtily wanted to wait for Xiaolian to come out of the alley, surprise Xiaolian, and make a joke about her.

Then, Takezhi saw a beggar also enter the alley, and Takezhi was not surprised at the time, thinking that this beggar was also here for convenience.

Zhuzhi waited for a while before he saw Xiaolian come out, and when Zhuzhi was about to step forward, he saw that the beggar from before also came out.

Zhuzhi saw the beggar's face clearly, and it turned out to be the person who knocked down Xiaolian before!

Zhu Zhi was shocked, was Xiaolian Fang in the alley with this person?

When Zhuzhi was shocked, Xiaolian had already walked away.

Zhuzhi had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his stomach and prepare to go back and ask again.

Mrs. Xiao entered the palace and asked to see the body of Empress Xiao Xiang.

However, he was stopped by the palace people.

"Mrs. Xiao, the queen mother has been put into the coffin, and the body has been covered with a white cloth, so it is not good to open it and disturb the queen mother's rest."

Mrs. Xiao said: "I am Xiang'er's biological mother, how can my mother be disturbed when she comes to see her daughter for the last time!" ”

The palace people were a little embarrassed.

Madam Xiao keenly noticed the look of embarrassment on the faces of the palace people, and said, "Did you order you like that?" ”

The palace people had no choice but to say: "Gonggong Li has instructed that no one is allowed to see the body of the queen mother." ”

Mrs. Xiao sensed that something was wrong, could it be that Empress Xiao Xiang's body was something unsightly?

Mrs. Xiao said coldly: "Father-in-law Li? Is it Li Gao? ”

"Call Li Gao over, I'm going to ask him, can I see my daughter's body!"

The palace people were anxious and said, "Mrs. Xiao, Gonggong Li is busy now." ”

Mrs. Xiao smiled mockingly and said, "What are you busy with?" The queen mother in the palace has just died, and now there is nothing busier than preparing for the queen's funeral! ”

"He Li Gao is just a eunuch, in terms of identity, I am a first-class lady, I don't need to listen to his orders!"

"Get out of the way!"

With that, Mrs. Xiao walked into the hall of Empress Xiao Xiang's bedroom, and a mourning hall was temporarily set up in the hall, and Empress Xiao Xiang's body stopped here.

The palace people were in a hurry, but there was no reason to stop Mrs. Xiao's movements.

That's right, no matter how popular Li Gao is by the emperor's side, no matter how powerful he is, Mrs. Xiao really has no reason to obey Li Gao's orders.

Mrs. Xiao stepped forward and walked to Empress Xiao Xiang's coffin, looking at the white cloth covering the corpse of Empress Xiao Xiang in the coffin with sad eyes.

Mrs. Xiao's hand trembled and stretched out, slowly uncovering the white cloth.

When Empress Xiao Xiang's face was revealed, Mrs. Xiao was shocked to see the swollen bruises on Empress Xiao Xiang's face and the bruised strangulation marks on her neck.

Mrs. Xiao was shocked for a while, and suddenly burst into tears.

Mrs. Xiao's hand touched Empress Xiao Xiang's cold cheek, and she couldn't believe that she was the daughter of the queen, and her death was so miserable and undignified.

Before Mrs. Xiao came, she knew in her heart that Empress Xiao Xiang either died violently, was either given death by the emperor, or committed suicide.

Therefore, if Mrs. Xiao only saw the strangulation marks on Empress Xiao Xiang's neck, she would not be surprised.

However, as soon as Mrs. Xiao saw the scars on her daughter's face, she collapsed, her daughter had suffered such torture before she died!

Mrs. Xiao angrily yelled at the palace people: "Say! How did my daughter die! ”

The palace people said in a panic: "Mrs. Xiao, the queen mother was found hanging in her room this morning. ”

Mrs. Xiao continued: "Then what's the matter with the scars on her face! ”

At this time, the people in the palace looked at each other, and no one could speak.

Mrs. Xiao knew that this scar could not be asked, so she stopped asking.

Mrs. Xiao cried on Empress Xiao Xiang's coffin for a long time, and then reluctantly covered the white cloth for Empress Xiao Xiang again.

Mrs. Xiao took a deep look at the coffin, and then left quickly, she wanted to hurry back and tell Xiao Rong about the torture her daughter had suffered during her lifetime.

On the way out of the palace, Mrs. Xiao heard the discussion of several palace maids.

"Have you heard, Gonggong Li went to draft a girl for the emperor."

"But...... The queen is not just ...... today."

"You can be careful when you speak, the queen's mother, this matter is complicated, you think she really died violently. The queen mother is in the past, and now the emperor wants to choose a newcomer, so let's be ready to serve the new master in the future. ”

Only then did Mrs. Xiao know that Li Gao was busy with something, and she was busy choosing a new person for the emperor!

Mrs. Xiao was angry in her heart at this time, her daughter had just died, and the emperor was in a hurry to choose a new concubine, which had never put her daughter in her eyes!

Mrs. Xiao hurried back home, and as soon as she got home, she cried with Xiao Rong.

"You're still a father! You're so sorry for our two daughters! ”

Xiao Rong didn't understand why, Mrs. Xiao went to the palace and began to complain about herself.

Xiao Rong asked confusedly, "Madam, you can tell me well, what's going on?" ”

Mrs. Xiao cried: "Do you know how our Xiang'er died! ”

"Just now I entered the palace, and the people in the palace still stopped me from seeing Xiang'er, saying that it was ordered by Li Gao."

"I forcefully went up and went to see it, and it turned out to be ...... It turned out to be ......"

"Our Xiang'er has slap marks all over his face, swollen and tall, and his cheeks are bruised."

"There are also bruised strangulation marks on his neck...... I asked the people in the palace, and they admitted that Xiang'er was hanged this morning, but what about the marks on this face? ”

"Our Xiang'er was tortured to death!"

Xiao Rong listened to Mrs. Xiao's words in shock, and couldn't believe that his daughter had died so miserably.
