Chapter 62: The Heart of the Femme Fatale

"I'm afraid that the emperor will also be helpless to take her!" Xu Su said sadly.

"Who? Are there still people in Shu who I can't do? ”

Concubine Xu Hui said sadly: "It's the end of the clouds." The emperor didn't know, but now the concubines and the emperor have become other people's jokes. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"In the past, it was rumored inside and outside that the concubine was the first beauty in the world. Also called the concubine what Mrs. Hua Rui. But since the end of the cloud arrived in Shu, the rumors inside and outside the palace are very ugly. ”

"What did you say?"

"said that the first beauty in the world should be Yun Moxi, and said...... The concubine is Lao Zhuhuang, and she also occupies the position of the first beauty. Emperor...... Wronged...... The concubines never dared to say this, and they never cared about these false names. ”

Meng Chang comforted: "Do you also take what those folk people said seriously? In my eyes, the concubine is the most beautiful!"

"But the emperor, if you just talk about concubines, it's just that. But there are still people who say the emperor. ”

"Oh? What do you say? Tell me about it?" Meng Chang disagreed.

"Saying that Yun Moxi was a spy sent by Zhao Kuangyin, he didn't say it sincerely. What's more, on that day, he resisted the decree of the ministers and conferred the concubine and despised the emperor. If this matter spreads outside the palace, it will naturally damage the emperor's prestige in the eyes of the people. ”

Meng Chang had a headache and was upset after a hangover, and after listening to these words, he remembered the situation that day, and felt a little angry in his heart.

Xu Su saw it in his eyes, "That day, the concubine saw that the emperor really liked Yun Moxi, and wanted to help you share your worries and find out the matter clearly." So I sent someone to investigate and found that the Yun family was not called Yun Chenqi. A few days ago, a few suspicious people arrived in Furong City and lived in Mingyanfang, which is said to have a Bianjing accent. And the appearance of one of them is also very similar to that Yun Chenqi. The concubine was just worried, afraid that it was really a spy of the Song Kingdom. ”

"Really?"

"Whenever there is news in this Furong City, the concubines will naturally not be mistaken."

Meng Chang's face was gloomy, "In this way, Yun Moxi is really deceiving me." Just because I don't want to be my concubine? ”

The concubine thought the same. She would rather recognize a strange man as her husband in public, and even refuse the emperor's favor even at the expense of doing that disgusting thing. This is too indifferent to the emperor. This tone does not show the majesty of the emperor. ”

"Then what should be done according to the meaning of the concubine?"

Xu Su's eyes were full of cruelty. "If you don't do it, kill Yun Moxi and rob the Yun family's business!"

"But." Meng Chang hesitated, "The evil prince said that he had to unite with the Yun family and get the support of the Yun family in order to win the world. Killing her will only lose the Yun family, right? ”

"The Yun family is the home of a businessman, how much ability can you have besides money? Kill her at this time, confiscate all your property, and also fill the treasury. Isn't it also for silver that the evil prince wants to get her, if she escapes or is taken away by the evil prince, then we won't get anything for the white toss of Shu Guobai. ”

"But will this offend the evil son?"

"Over the years, Shu has been attached to him and has given him no less benefits. Could it be that he still gave up such a big ally as Shu for the sake of a mere Yun family? ”

"What Concubine Ai said is reasonable!"

"Now she happens to live in our palace, and she has to seize the opportunity to do it. The concubine has already inquired, and the evil prince is out of the palace today, and I heard that it will be a few days before he returns. The emperor might as well do it as soon as possible! I'm afraid I won't have a chance when Childe comes back. ”

Meng Chang was still a little hesitant.

"Is Yun Moxi a person who already has a husband, or deceiving the emperor, it is better for the emperor to go for a while, and you will know the truth after a try!" Xu Su said softly ambiguously.

Meng Chang's heart moved, "Okay! Aifei, what you said makes sense. You go and arrange it, and you'll do it later. ”

Xu Su smiled with his eyes, "The emperor can rest assured, the concubines must be arranged without leakage." After saying that, he stood up and walked out enchantingly.

********

In the Cuiwei Palace.

Yesterday's two palace maids sent a plate of steamed buns and a plate of vegetarian dishes as usual.

The four of them stood outside the palace gate, and Yun Moxi stuffed another ingot of silver into the hands of the palace maid, "Two sisters, can you bother to report it." The little sister wants to see the emperor. ”

"It's Concubine Hui who is talking in this palace, and if she wants to see her, she will naturally summon her. We are just slaves, and we are soft-spoken. ”

"Seeing that you are also a good person, this Cuiwei Palace is an ominous place, so it is better to find a way to leave as soon as possible." Another palace maid said.

For two days in a row, the two palace maids were also kind.

Why? Sister, can you elaborate on that? Yun Moxi's heart moved, wanting to know more.

The palace maid hesitated for a moment and looked around.

He said in a low voice: "I just heard the old man in the palace mention that when the emperor first ascended the throne, he was diligent and loved the people, and the queen was thrifty and virtuous." This Cuiwei Palace was where the queen Zhang Taihua lived. ”

"There are so many gorgeous palaces in this palace, and the queen lives in this humble palace?" Ligu asked curiously.

"Back then, the imperial palace of our Shu Kingdom was here, and this Cuiwei Palace was the largest and most suitable for the queen to live in at that time. The first emperor and the current emperor did not care about these extravagant pleasures when they were young. So where you are now is where the harem was at that time. ”

The palace maid sighed, "Later, Empress Zhang died, and Concubine Xu Hui was favored, coaxing the emperor to build a lot of gorgeous palaces, but this place gradually became the most remote and uninhabited land, and finally the entire palace was moved, and this place also became a waste palace." ”

"Empress Zhang is not very old, why did she die?" Yun Moxi asked.

The palace maid said mysteriously: "It's just that legend has it that not long after Concubine Xu Hui entered the palace, the emperor's special favor never came to Cuiwei Palace again. Empress Zhang missed, and stood in the courtyard every night waiting for the emperor. One night, there was a sudden burst of thunder and lightning, and Queen Zhang couldn't dodge and was struck by lightning. ”

"And such a thing?" Ligu exclaimed.

"Yes, there are very few people who have seen this with their own eyes, and it is only the old people in the palace who still secretly say some legends. That night, it was said that wails were heard from the Cuiwei Palace all night. After the queen was struck by lightning, she was seriously injured and in pain all night before she died. ”

"Did the emperor come to visit the queen?" Yun Moxi asked.

The palace maid shook her head, "Concubine Hui and the prime minister said that the queen was struck by lightning, but the queen was not punished by heaven. If the emperor came, he was afraid of anger, so he didn't come. The queen also died with hatred. ”

Yun Moxi thought in his heart that this matter was so strange.

Another palace maid sighed: "The old people in the palace have all felt the benevolence of Empress Zhang, how can such a virtuous person be punished by heaven?" But the emperor listened to Concubine Hui and the prime minister, and just buried the queen according to the etiquette of the concubine. Ay! Since then, there have been strange noises in the Cuiwei Palace, and there are often strange noises at night. ”

"But what has anyone really seen?" Yun Moxi asked.

The palace maid shook her head, "Everyone said that this is an ominous place, and after the queen was buried, the palace was moved to a new palace, which was unguarded and became more and more desolate. At first, the guards of the imperial city occasionally patrolled here, and heard strange noises in the palace in the middle of the night, and also heard the sound of people crying, and the haunting here spread. Even the guards will not come back to patrol. ”
