140 Emperor Mind

The emperor was not surprised that Mu Peilan would figure out the joints, but said with a slight amazement: "This thing was originally found twelve years ago, but unfortunately because of Concubine Yue's matter, it was only recently delivered to you......

Depend on! Bai Poria is furious, why did your wife die and even hurt my father and mother to be ugly for twelve more years? If the Ghost Face Gu Mother had arrived earlier, my father's and mother's skills would not have lost more than half!

It was Mu Peilan, who couldn't help but feel a sense of resentment when she heard this, but she looked at the emperor who was sitting majestically in front of her but couldn't hide her haggard state, and suddenly she was not angry anymore.

What about being an ugly monster for 12 more years, after recovering from her daughter's body, she lives comfortably every day, far better than when she was the first beauty in Beijing.

On the other hand, the emperor, since he ascended the throne, he has been exhausted, and he has been struggling to deal with the people of the Mao family and the Xia family, and the woman he loves the most has left one by one and died in vain in the deep palace, and his favorite son is either not around, or close at hand but he does not dare to show the slightest intimacy, and he always guards against everyone around him.

People always get satisfaction from comparison, Mu Peilan does not deny it, compared with the emperor, the psychology is suddenly balanced.

The hall was silent, the emperor didn't know what to remember, his expression was a little trance, and after a while, he said: "There are some things, I don't say it, you must be able to guess, you should continue to stay in the palace these days, and you can also help Yunmei." ”

With the emperor's words, the hopes of Mu Peilan's mother and daughter were all disappointed, Mu Peilan wanted to speak and stopped, and finally pulled Bai Poria to retire and leave.

Coming out of the side hall, Mu Peilan quietly glanced at Father-in-law He, took her daughter back to Yihui Palace, and said with a serious expression when there was no one around: "Later, I will ask Aunt Yunmei to send someone to escort you out of the palace immediately, and then ask your father to take you out of Beijing immediately, the faster you go, the better!" ”

Bai Poria didn't know why her mother was suddenly so nervous, but she also guessed that the situation was serious, bit her lip and said, "What about your mother?" ”

"I'll be fine, the emperor left me, I really want me to help you Aunt Yunmei stabilize the inner palace, there will be a big chaos in the capital soon, you don't know martial arts, if it falls into the hands of others, I, your father and Lu Yingcai are really passive." Mu Peilan is realistic and does not speak tactfully, she knows that her daughter is not the kind of woman who twists and turns, mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and she will make the most rational choice if she makes the reason clear with her.

Sure enough, Bai Poria didn't argue, and honestly went to prepare for the journey. From Mu Peilan's expression, Bai Poria could guess that she had deduced that the emperor had some unfavorable plans for them, she didn't know martial arts, she didn't know the rules of the palace, and she didn't know the emperor's intentions at all.

They didn't bring many things into the palace, and they thought that they would leave after meeting the saint today, and they had already packed up. He Gonggong moved quickly, the two mothers and daughters returned to Yihui Palace less than half a cup of tea, the sedan chair that came to pick up Bai Poria to leave had arrived in front of the palace gate, Bai Poria hugged the little raccoon flower and sat in the car, and the sedan was pulled by the cronies and eunuchs of Princess Antai, who took the princess seal letter in their hands, and almost unimpeded to the west gate of the palace.

There are more than 30 cars in front of the door, and the women on them are all women who have arranged to leave the palace and return home today, and the white Poria sedan is not conspicuous in it.

The eunuch guarding the west gate checked Princess Antai's warrant and checked the list, and immediately nodded and ordered the little eunuch to open the palace gate to send off guests.

The heavy palace door was pushed open a line, and there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps from afar, and a guard shouted: "Open the door slowly, the emperor has a decree!" ”

Bai Poria looked at the palace door that had just revealed a glimmer of light, and soon closed with a bang, and had a very bad premonition in her heart, what kind of moth came out at this time?

Soon there were ** guards one after another, and behind them, two little eunuchs pulled a small car and rushed to it.

As soon as the curtain of the car car was lifted, Gonggong Lei helped the little eunuch on the side and walked down, his eyes swept in front of the palace gate, and soon found Bai Poria in the crowd, a smile appeared on his white and chubby face, and he walked up two steps and said: "The emperor has a decree, and the Bai daughter of the Duke of Zhongguo stepped forward to listen to the decree." ”

It's coming, it's coming, and it's really coming to the door! Bai Poria knew that she couldn't run away this time, so she had to step forward and kneel down to receive the holy decree, and scolded the uneasy and kind-hearted emperor a hundred times a hundred times while kneeling.

The holy decree is very short, roughly meaning to praise Bai Poria for "gentle and humble, courteous and gentle", and specially canonized as the lord of Jingya County, and from now on in the palace with Princess Antai to learn palace rules and etiquette.

Bai Poria didn't know if this "gentle and humble, courteous and gentle" was the standard language for canonizing the county lord or the emperor was ridiculing her fierce bully, she only knew that the emperor left her in the palace, and there was absolutely no good thing!

But the wives who listened to the decree together heard the doorway. Bai Poria's background is not high, although her mother is the only daughter of Zhongguo Gong, the county lord of the first emperor, but her father is just an ordinary businessman (few people know the relationship between Bai Changshan and Bai Chou), the current Zhongguo Gong is just her cousin and not her own brother, Lu Ying is just a righteous brother, and none of her immediate male relatives can handle it.

The rules of this dynasty suddenly reward a woman from an ordinary family for only one reason - to elevate her status, so that she can be married to a child of a noble family or an official in the court, or even a prince.

According to the emperor's article that left her in the palace to learn palace rules and etiquette, most likely he wanted to point her to a certain prince as a concubine.

Those ladies were shocked in their hearts, the second prince was assassinated yesterday, and today the emperor is still in the mood to be the county lord, what is this?

Bai Poria thanked the Holy Grace depressedly, and Father-in-law Lei stepped forward to help her up with a smile and said: "The county lord and the lady please get up, it's all to blame for the slow pace of the Sprinkle family, tired of you going back and forth in vain, the Sprinkle family has sent someone to the Zhongguo Mansion to report the good news, and the county lord and the lady can live in the palace with peace of mind." Come! Send the county lady back to Yihui Palace! ”

Bai Poria really wanted to break off his white and chubby old face and throw it into the jar of rice and smash it hard with a big stick and mallet, this old eunuch obviously did it on purpose...... In other words, the emperor clearly did it on purpose!

When they faced the saint just now, they deliberately only said that they would let their mothers stay, and before they were happy, they turned their heads and detained her! Maybe now that people are under the eaves, go back and discuss it with your mother.

Bai Poria simply sat back in the original sedan chair, and headed towards the deep palace again under the unclear gaze of the women.

Yihui Palace has also received the news, Mu Peilan picked up her daughter in front of the palace gate, and took her back to the side hall without saying anything, and soon Princess Antai also rushed back when she heard the news.

"I don't understand the royal brother anymore......" Princess Antai looked apologetic.

Mu Peilan didn't care about it: "I'm going to bother you for a few more days, it's good if you don't bother us." She knew even more about the emperor than Princess Antai, and she knew the emperor well, so she guessed that the emperor would not let her go so easily, but she was just fighting.

Princess Antai and Bai Poria mother and daughter had lunch together, and Bai Poria used the excuse of taking a nap and pulled her mother to her bedroom to whisper. At this point, Bai Poria had to ask her mother to share the information she knew, and Mu Peilan had nothing to hide, and the two mothers and daughters dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting for them as they did last night, and slept on a bed and whispered.

Mu Peilan said: "This morning, when the emperor mentioned Lu Ying, Yang Heng and Xiao You, I knew that he had already taken care of you, and most of them refused to let you go." ”

"Can you guess the emperor's intentions?" What Bai Poria wants to know most is this, only when she knows the emperor's plan, can she think of self-preservation.

"The death of the second prince is just a fuse, what the emperor really wants to do is to completely eradicate the power of the Mao family and the Xia family. Before the emperor ascended the throne, he was not conspicuous among the princes, the queen mother was just a concubine at that time, and the queen had no children and later preceded the first emperor, the first few concubines in the palace who had children fought fiercely, and the queen mother had a weak personality, and she was born in a noble family but did not hold real power in the court. The Xia family and the Mao family happened to encounter several major events, and it was at a time of turmoil, and the two previous generations of family heads were like-minded brothers with different surnames, and the relationship was very deep. For various reasons, the two decided to join forces to support the emperor's ascension to the throne at all costs. The emperor had originally been designated by the first emperor as a concubine, but it had not yet been officially canonized, so the daughters of the two families had to marry the emperor as a side concubine. Later, the emperor ascended the throne, and the Mao family and the Xia family also gained power, and it happened that when the emperor was preparing to establish the queen, the queen fell ill and died......"

"It's too coincidental to die! The Mao family and the Xia family are not fighting for the queen's position now? Bai Poria immediately grasped the point.

Mu Peilan said indifferently: "There are a lot of such coincidences in the future, but Li Lingzhi is faint, even if some people know that there is fraud, they can't help but be fooled." ”

She paused and continued: "The Mao family and the Xia family are fighting, the Mao family holds the military power, the Xia family is in charge of the government, and neither of the two families will let anyone, and the Xia family is slightly at a disadvantage. In the end, the queen mother discussed with the emperor that whoever of the two mothers was pregnant with the dragon heir first would be the queen. As a result, the daughter of the Xia family became pregnant first, but soon after the establishment, the child was accidentally miscarried, but the son born to Mao Guifei became the eldest son of the emperor. Although the queen became pregnant again, it was too late, and the most unfortunate thing was that the queen gave birth to a stillborn baby for the second time! ”

Bai Poria said strangely: "I remember, the second prince is only a year and a half younger than the eldest prince!" "The queen is not a Saiyan, how can she recover so quickly if she has such a serious miscarriage.

Mu Peilan said softly: "The queen gave birth to a stillborn child, only the imperial doctor who was responsible for diagnosing her pulse, the stable woman who delivered the baby, and a few palace maids who served knew about it, and even the queen herself didn't know. These people were later disposed of, and the only people in the world who knew this secret were the emperor and me, the people in charge. ”
