Song Yixiao hurriedly put down the work in his hand, went to the shelf in front of the screen to get a clean handkerchief, and went over to dry his long hair.

"Song Luoshi's branch, I've heard my father mention it a few times before." Jian Xubai sat on the soft couch obliquely, which was convenient for his wife's movements, closed his eyes slightly, and said, "Before they were the Great Rui Dingding, the Shen and Liu families waved their troops to the north and recovered the lost land. Later, the Shen and Liu families returned to the field and announced that they would guard the tomb for three generations, and they also stayed in Xiliang. ”

After a pause, "In the past two years, the tomb guard period of the Shen and Liu families has expired, and they have begun to plan to return to the court...... With the background of these two families, it is not impossible to directly hit the idea of supporting the new monarch. It's just these two, including the Song side branch ......"

He pondered for a while before continuing, "His Majesty Emperor Taizu focused on suppressing and preventing it back then, and His Majesty Emperor Huizong, after His Majesty Emperor Taizu, although he favored Concubine Shentu and Mrs. Zhenyuan, which caused turmoil in the imperial family for several years. But because a group of old ministers at the time of the founding of the country are still there, and His Majesty Emperor Huizong is not a person who is rigid and conceited, so during his reign, he can be regarded as a political and conceited person. ”

The founding veteran who has been tested by the troubled times at the end of Yong, needless to say, has strength.

"Emperor Huizong is the emperor's uncle after that."

Emperor Xianjia's ability does not need to be talked about.

"Three generations of emperors, none of them faint."

"In this case, it is unlikely that the Shen and Liu families, including the Song family's side branches, want to do something in the imperial capital and in the royal family."

Jian Xubai said this, and his face suddenly became ugly, "Could it be ...... Is it the Wei family? ”

- Empress Wei is under house arrest and has been determined to lose her palace power. Empress Dowager Su is already working on the selection of official daughters to enter the palace and enrich the harem, once the crown prince is the only living prince of Emperor Duanhua is lost, the future of Empress Wei's mother and son will change from infinite light to darkness and confusion!

I can't say it, I have to go through the old path of the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xianjia again!

If you're unlucky, you may not even be able to have the last laugh......

"But when my brother gave Xuan'er to me as a righteous son, the queen was still in love and harmony with Your Majesty." Song Yixiao reminded him, "At that time, my brother told me that he learned that His Majesty's time was short, so he was in a hurry to have a relationship with the queen's mother and son!" ”

After she came back from Liaozhou, she told Jian Xubai in private.

However, after Jian Xubai tried to go to the Tai Hospital to inquire about it, he thought it was pure nonsense, and said to his wife: "I don't know where my brother heard this news, or if he had some temptation!" In short, don't mention this kind of thing again in the future, otherwise if it spreads, there will definitely be a storm! ”

In the end, Emperor Duanhua has been on the throne for less than three years, and the prince's age is still young, if the news that Emperor Duanhua will not live long at this time comes out, what will the people below think?

For the sake of safety, Jian Xubai later arranged for someone to find out where Song Luoshi heard the news - of course, he didn't tell his wife about this, after all, Song Luoshi was Song Yixiao's brother, and he gave his son to Song Yixiao as a righteous son, if Song Yixiao knew that her husband turned around and went to investigate him, it would inevitably be gloomy.

And the reply given to him by Jian Xubai was that Song Luoshi had bribed a imperial doctor who had treated Emperor Duanhua.

The doctor sold the news for a very high price.

At this moment, Jian Xubai was silent for a while, and told him about the investigation of Song Luoshi in the first place: "...... I used the person my father gave me, but now you know that my father may not not coax me. Because if the side branch of the Song family really started planning something a long time ago, it would definitely be inseparable from the Shen and Liu families, and according to what my father said before, my grandmother had a great relationship with the Shen and Liu families. ”

also said the so-called Han Ji's murder of Emperor Duanhua, in fact, the mastermind was Empress Wei, "When the Song Lu clan went to the temple to face the saint, he exposed the matter, and His Majesty asked in person at that time, and the queen confessed in the palace and knelt on the ground to confess!" However, His Majesty did not pursue the queen before his uncle's death, and also chose Empress Yuanyou. So we didn't spread the word afterwards. ”

In fact, the reason why this matter did not spread was not only because Emperor Duanhua forgave Empress Wei in this matter.

is also because even if Empress Wei did not poison Emperor Duanhua by the hand of Han Ji, Emperor Duanhua finally adopted the method of "lying on the couch" at that time to avoid entering the palace to serve Emperor Xianjia - although Emperor Duanhua was also calculated by his subordinates and had to follow this plan; Although the situation at that time, in the eyes of a few people except for Emperor Xianjia and others, his entry into the palace was indeed a situation of ten deaths; Although he finally risked his life to step into the Xuanming Palace......

However, if this matter is spread out in its original form, it will definitely not be a good thing for the emperor's reputation!

Therefore, the people who heard this passage in the palace that day did not need Emperor Duanhua's other advice, so they consciously shut up.

And Jian Xubai felt that this matter had nothing to do with his family at that time, and he didn't mention it to his wife after he came back.

Now that he said what had happened in a few words, he frowned and said, "Your Majesty and we didn't know until the Song Lu clan exposed that Han Ji had made a scapegoat for the queen!" But what the queen did, she naturally knew in her own heart. ”

So Empress Wei was afraid that one day the matter would be exposed, and she would not be able to get Emperor Duanhua's forgiveness, so it was possible that she wanted to be the queen mother in advance?

And the Fengzhou Wei family has a very close relationship with the ancestors of Xiliang Shen, Donghu Liu, and Jiangnan Song, and it is not surprising that she secretly extended an olive branch to the Shen and Liu families and the side branches of the Song family.

"If that's the case, then the reason why my brother wants to tell me that Your Majesty is afraid that he will not live forever is probably also to cover for their private contact with the Wei family." Song Yixiao pondered for a while and said, "In this way, even if we find out, we will think that they want to curry favor with the prince's foreign family before the prince ascends the throne." ”

As for other people who found out about this, most of them would remember Song Yixiao, because she had a good relationship with Empress Wei and accepted Song Luoshi's son as her righteous son, so it was understandable to send someone from her mother's family to help run errands.

In this way, Song Luoshi's real plan was concealed.

Song Yixiao didn't have time to feel angry that she was being used now, she groaned for a while and asked, "What if...... I mean, if, if the person behind my brother is really the queen, you ...... What do you think we should do? ”

Jian Xubai closed his eyes, and was silent for a long time, before he sighed: "Ming'er sent someone to check, and wait for the exact result!" ”

paused, "Fortunately, I took a trip to Wuhuan back then, and I had a few of my own people in my hands." This time, I don't want my dad to give me someone, I should be able to find out the truth. ”

He obviously avoided this question, obviously he didn't know how to answer Song Yixiao's question?

Emperor Duanhua is his cousin, and to be honest, he has always been very good to him.

Even if the matter of dripping blood with King Qing confessed to each other, the two cousins were quite embarrassed for a while, and they couldn't get rid of the feelings they had accumulated over the years.

Jian Xubai definitely didn't want to see Emperor Duanhua's father and son kill each other.

"It's late at night, go to sleep!" Song Yi smiled and squinted for a while, touched his hair scattered on the couch, got up and said, "Ming'er is still busy." ”

Early the next morning, after Jian Xubai got up, he quietly sent someone to guard in front of the palace gate, but fortunately, after Gu Shao faced the saint, he immediately heard the quasi-letter.

At the end of the morning, Gu Shao took a sedan chair to the palace gate to ask for a meeting.

He was already in a good position, and he was especially detached in the past two days, so he was admitted in a few days.

"Is Gu Xiang also here to intercede for Mrs. Yan Guo?" When Emperor Duanhua saw him enter the hall, he didn't wait for him to bow down, so he sneered and asked, "It seems that Ah Xuan really tried his best to save his wife!" Not only did he invite Cousin Qingjiang over yesterday, but I heard that if it weren't for Mrs. Shou Chunbo to stop him, he would even want to disturb the imperial aunt of the Jin Kingdom! I have heard people say before that the mother of Mrs. Yan Guo has excellent means, and her ex-husband and step-husband have always had a deep love for her, and she has left the seventh son of Hengshan Wangfu so far. Now it seems that this Song family is worthy of Princess Wei's biological daughter! ”

Gu Shao knew that the emperor must be very annoyed in his heart now, and after calmly saluting, he stroked his long beard before saying, "Back to Your Majesty's words: Yesterday, the Duke of Yan Guo did arrive at the minister's place." However, he didn't say that he asked the minister to help him intercede with Mrs. Yan Guo, but sighed to the minister, saying that he knew that the reason why His Majesty gave him three days was because His Majesty didn't really annoy him! It's just a beating! ”

Emperor Duanhua sneered when he heard this, and was about to speak, but he saw Gu Shao looking at Zhu Qin not far away, and made a look!

Zhu Qin has been serving Emperor Duanhua for more than ten years, and the master and servant are said to have grown up together.

Even though Emperor Duanhua had only beaten this chief of the inner world hard yesterday, he still trusted him very much-Gu Shao and they also acquiesced to this, so there were few hints that even Zhu Qin couldn't listen.

At this moment, the emperor groaned, and finally sent everyone back, including Zhu Qin, and asked again: "I don't know what Gu Xiang has to tell me?" ”

"The minister begs His Majesty to give the minister innocence first!" Gu Shao didn't answer immediately, but solemnly bowed his hand and said solemnly, "Otherwise, the minister will not dare to go up!" ”

Duanhua Emperor Hu wondered: "Why does Gu Xiang have to see the outside like this? I promise you to speak freely! ”

When he said this, he began to feel a little apprehensive in his heart: because when Shanghui Shao asked him not to be guilty, he then told him about the Empress Dowager Cui's murder of Princess Liang, this time...... Do you always feel a little uncomfortable?

Sure enough, the emperor's premonition came true - Gu Shao lowered his head and buried his whole face behind the tooth wat, Fang said: "The minister wants to tell Your Majesty one thing: that is, the reason why the Shuren Cui family deliberately murdered the master and servant of the Yanguo Lady back then was not for trivial disputes, but because the Shuren Cui clan ...... Suspect that Mrs. Yan Guo is her rival in love! Out of jealousy, Fang poisoned! ”

"You mean that Lady Yan Guo ...... me?!" Emperor Duanhua was dumbfounded!

Gu Shao: "......!!! ”

In the end, it was the old minister who was calm, although he was speechless for a moment, he still reacted quickly, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, at that time, Mrs. Yan Guo had not yet looked up at the sky!" ”

He didn't even know what to say about Emperor Duanhua...... At that time, Song Yixiao was only eight years old!

An eight-year-old girl, would she fall in love with His Royal Highness the Prince, whom she had never seen before, to the point of provoking Cui Jian's jealousy?!

But to be honest, Emperor Duanhua here was actually pitted by the people left by Emperor Xianjia - those people found out the truth of the matter, including Cui Jianlian actually didn't like Emperor Duanhua at all, and the one who people really loved until death was another cousin Lu Guanlun.

Helplessly, the investigation was found out, but no one dared to tell Emperor Duanhua!

The group of people left by Emperor Xianjia to his son are all loyal and guaranteed, so they concealed this matter not for fear of being destroyed by Emperor Duanhua. is the same as Zhu Qin's previous admonition, afraid that things will make a big deal - first, Lu Guanlun is the son of King Hengshan, even if he goes out, it is impossible for King Hengshan to say that he doesn't care about his life or death at all, and King Hengshan's status in the clan has always been not low; Second, at that time, almost all parties were staring at the results of their thorough investigation, and this matter was about to be spread, where did Emperor Duanhua's face go?

Originally, since this emperor ascended the throne, everyone didn't mention it, and privately felt that he was far from the first emperor. It was rumored that even his side concubine couldn't look at him...... Isn't the emperor's prestige and dignity about to be wiped out?

These people then summed it up, and felt that anyway, what the emperor mainly wanted to know was the dispute between Song Yixiao and Cui Jianlian, so the reason why Cui Jianlian intended to murder Song Yixiao in the first place was said to be a dispute between female classmates, which caused Cui Jianlian to poison him in anger, and it didn't affect anything...... Bar......

And Emperor Duanhua didn't expect that the people left behind by his father would "admonish" in such a tactful way, without knowing that there was another person in Cui Jianlian's heart, after confirming that Cui Jianlian died after Empress Wei and Song Yixiao joined forces to calculate, of course he thought that even if this cousin was a little poisonous, he was sincere to himself.

So as soon as Gu Shao said that Cui Jianlian regarded Song Yixiao as a rival in love, Emperor Duanhua subconsciously thought of himself......

After he came back to his senses and felt that this was impossible, and then listened to Gu Shao's euphemistic denial, even the emperor couldn't help but blush at the moment, and he was very embarrassed.

After settling down, he said: "If Gu Xiang has anything to say, please say it directly!" ”
