Chapter 239: Thorough Investigation of Secrets
Jiang Bushou curled his beard and said: "Lord Xiao is serious, if I can predict everything, wouldn't I be able to help Your Majesty avoid hardships earlier, why bother to let Your Majesty go through hardships and dangers before he can ascend the throne, everything has its own providence, and everything can be controlled." ”
Xiao's father didn't smile, the two exchanged a few words, and the atmosphere was very delicate.
The courtiers on the side keenly noticed that there was an undercurrent surging between the two, and they also calculated in their hearts for a while.
Now that the queen has not been established, there is no one in the harem, only the two concubines Xiao and Concubine Yu, plus now the Jiang family and the Xiao family are both favored ministers under the new emperor, I am afraid that this queen will only be produced in these two families.
The Xiao family's power is not weak, but the Jiang family is good at knowing the destiny of heaven.
In this way, the two families are on equal footing, and the important thing is that it depends on which of these two concubines can please the emperor more.
This is power, the struggle never stops, and after one struggle is over, there will be the next one.
After Xiao's father left, his face was very ugly.
Yuluo has been the crown princess for so long, and now there is a Jiang family halfway, and the river fish doesn't know what kind of goods it is, although the child Yuluo looks sharp, but in fact, his scheming is just average, I'm afraid that I can't fight the river fish.
Jiang Bushou also had a sad face after leaving, according to the original deduction of the celestial phenomena, Yu'er decided not to have the life of a concubine, but now that he has inexplicably become the emperor's concubine, is it really the will of heaven that has been completely subverted?
After returning to the Jiang Mansion quickly, Mrs. Jiang greeted her: "Master, can you come back, I heard that Yu'er was made a concubine today?" ”
Jiang Bushou ignored her: "What about the fish? I have something to ask her. ”
Mrs. Jiang said: "Yu'er accompanied the county lord of Jianing into the palace together. ”
Jiang Bushou's face was heavy and he didn't speak again.
Beiliuyun still lives in Liuyun Palace, but no one has any objections to this.
In the Liuyun Palace, Beiliuyun sat at the table with a pale face, with a thick exhaustion in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Luo is finally willing to eat." Gonggong Su stood aside and said softly.
Beiliuyun didn't move, but his heart breathed a sigh of relief.
Every time she thought of the last moment, when she looked at her gaze, his face would be pale without a trace of blood.
Father-in-law Su looked at Beiliuyun and quietly stepped aside.
In the past two days, the master sat here almost without moving, and his face was also full of uneasiness and tiredness, which made people feel distressed.
Luo Luo, did I do something wrong, shouldn't I be so selfish, just to make you learn to believe me, and suddenly put you in prison.
Are you disappointed again, or are you desperate at the moment, or have you become disheartened with me, or even... Love for me turned into hatred.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he couldn't help but think of her becoming silent again, remembering that she accepted everything with endure, not to question herself, not to shout, not to bow her head, just gritting her teeth, clenching her fists, quietly enduring all this, and then like an entrenched poisonous snake, waiting for the opportunity to move.
Gonggong Su looked at Beiliuyun's ugly face and sighed, and he didn't know who the master was torturing like this.
"Master, eat something, why are you bothered?" Su Gong openly persuaded.
Beiliuyun slowly opened his eyes, only to feel a burst of annoyance.
Turning his head to look at Gonggong Su, he asked, "You said that I canonized Xiao Yuluo and Jiang Yu'er, will Luo Luo be very sad?" ”
Facing those somewhat gray eyes, Father-in-law Su pondered for a while, bowed his head and said, "Sadness is definitely unavoidable?" ”
Beiliuyun's eyes darkened even more, and Father-in-law Su hurriedly continued: "But this also shows that Concubine Luo cares about you, if you don't care, you will naturally not be sad." ”
Beiliuyun murmured softly, "Really? ”
"Nature is true, but... But.. You care so much about Concubine Luo, why? Why did you put her to death? Father-in-law Su cautiously spoke.
In the past few days, Xiao Liuzi has come to beg him every day, as long as he sees him, he will hold his thighs and not let go, and he has always seen his master's feelings for Concubine Luo, so he has to take the risk to probe the wind.
Beiliuyun raised his eyes and swept over him, and Gonggong Su hurriedly knelt on the ground in fright, and slapped his mouth: "The slave has a lot of mouths.. Minions are talkative.."
Beiliuyun didn't speak, just rubbed the jasper ring on his finger repeatedly.
He must execute Concubine Luo, not only to death, but also to execute in front of the whole world, so that everyone can see Concubine Luo die with their own eyes, so that he can marry Luo Luo again and canonize her as the queen.
In addition, in this battle for imperial power, the Xiao family and the Jiang family can be said to be heartfelt for themselves, but there is another Xiao Yuluo and Jiang Yu'er in these two families, and rashly killing the two will only make the ministers cold, and it will also make the Jiang family and the Xiao family dissatisfied with themselves.
Now that the society is unstable, he has just ascended the throne, so he naturally has to choose the best way.
Restraint and trade-offs are always the most common means used by those who wield power.
Therefore, he followed Jiang Yuer's wish and canonized her as a concubine, who was very ambitious and scheming, and in order to compete for the rear position, there must be a contest between Jiang Yuer and Xiao Yuluo.
According to his understanding of the two, Jiang Yu'er should be better, once she knocked down Xiao Yuluo, she removed a stumbling block for Luo Luo, and therefore, the Xiao family will definitely not give up and bite the Jiang family.
After that, he found out the truth again and confirmed that Jiang Yu'er framed the concubine, and in order to give the Xiao family an explanation, he had to order Jiang Yu'er to be executed.
In this way, the snipe and the clam compete, the fisherman profits, and without his own hands, he can get rid of the two, in addition to intensifying the contradiction between the Xiao family and the Jiang family, it will not have much impact on himself and Luo Luo, so it can be regarded as removing two stumbling blocks for Luo Luo.
These should have told Luo Luo, and he also knew Luo Luo's heartache, but he just felt that after so many lives and deaths, Luo Luo should always learn to trust him, otherwise he would not stop fighting in the future, if Luo Luo had not trusted him enough, what would they have to do to make a bloody way in the troubled times!
At this time, the black axe walked in, and Gonggong Su looked at the body that looked like a small mountain, and stepped back: "Young master, I have found the traces of Beiliuye, and I am sending people to chase after him with all his might." ”
"Where?"
"As the young master expected, Beiliuye disguised himself as a beggar, mixed in a group of beggars, and on the way to the imperial tomb, it is expected to arrive tonight." The black axe opened its mouth in a gruff voice.
"Bring it back." A cold light flashed in Beiliuyun's eyes.
The black axe did not hesitate at all, and after responding, he turned around and left with the axe.
Gonggong Su shrunk his neck, and Cang Yao on the side spoke: "Why didn't the master kill him directly?" This is also good to prevent future troubles. ”
Beiliuyun sneered, he did promise that the Guozhang Mansion would keep Beiliuye's life, but he left Beiliuye's life, but not because of the promise, but because he didn't know what the Guozhang's Mansion was doing until now.
Keeping Beiliuye in his hands is also good to contain the Guozhang Mansion, once the Guozhang Mansion rebels, he will have some bargaining chips, so as not to be contained by the Guozhang Mansion.
Beiliuyun was silent for a moment, and then said, "What has happened to the old immortals of the Divine Dragon Sect recently?" ”
"They originally thought that Concubine Luo was married to Emperor Beiyan, and the master would have nothing to do with Concubine Luo, but now it seems that there have been a lot of rumors in their ears these times, even if the master ordered Concubine Luo to be executed this time, they didn't easily believe it, they must not have seen Concubine Luo executed with their own eyes, they would not leave." Cang Kao frowned.
Beiliuyun narrowed his eyes, stood up, and walked to the window, why did the people of the Divine Dragon Sect kill Luo Luo, and why did they break him up and Luo Luo?
"How's the investigation going?"
Cang Yao pondered for a moment and said: "Regarding Yun Luoyi's mother, it is very strange, there is almost no trace of that year in the Guogong Mansion, as if it was deliberately erased, it is said that in the year of Yun Luoyi's mother's death, the people in the mansion were replaced. ”
Beiliuyun didn't speak, just stared at the sky in the distance and lost his mind.
Cang Yao said: "However, there is a theory about Yun Luoyi's background. Raising his eyes and looking at Beiliuyun's back, Cang Yao continued: "It is said that there were more than one fighting in the back house of Yun Mansion, and there were rumors that Yun Luoyi was not the child of Yun Guogong, and later a blood test confirmed that the rumors were true, and because of this, Yun Luoyi's status plummeted, and Yun Guogong ignored her from then on, Yun Luoyi was bullied by the concubine of the lady in the mansion, and was later sent to a prison cell. ”
Beiliuyun rubbed the jasper wrench on his finger, and he had to say that this result surprised him a little.
Is this Yun Luoyi really not Yun Guogong's child, or was he designed by the back house to create an illusion?
In this way, it is not difficult to understand Yun Guogong's attitude towards Luo Luo, but why did Yun Guogong try his best to prevent himself from being with Luo Luo? What else did he not know during this time?
"Keep checking, check Yunroy's mother." Beiliuyun said coldly.
Cang Sickle retreated, Beiliuyun's brows furrowed, why did he feel as if everyone knew a secret, or was hiding a truth?
Imperial Tomb.
The killers of the Divine Dragon Sect assigned by the Black Axe followed the traces of Beiliuye all the way, and after chasing for most of the day, they finally found his traces when night fell.
If it weren't for the fact that Beiliuye was blasted out by the beggars several times, and because of his unusual temperament, I am afraid that it would be really difficult for them to recognize the down-and-out person in front of them as the Beiliuye in the past.
As the sun sets, the streets are dyed red, and the withered yellow leaves flutter in the wind, with an indescribable beauty.
After fighting for a long time, the black-clothed man led by him found that Beiliuye's energy and physical strength seemed to be much better than expected.
An hour later, the killers of the Divine Dragon Sect finally captured Beiliuye alive, but after catching Beiliuye, they found that this person was not Beiliuye at all!
Looking back on the traces that have been pursued along the way, I am suddenly shocked to realize that they have fallen for someone else's scheme!
At this moment, the real Beiliuye looked at a group of black-clothed people with hats surrounding him, and a chill arose in his heart, these days of running, he was hungry and thirsty, and now facing these black-clothed people, I am afraid that it is difficult to win.
Looking back at the imperial mausoleum in front of him, Beiliuye's heart rose with a touch of unwillingness, he will soon be able to see Beiliuxue, only when he sees Beiliuxue, he will have a chance of winning.
The men in black raised their knives on their left shoulders in unison, revealing a hazy hat, but the knives were precise and fierce.
The sharp blade slashed, and the withered yellow leaves floating in the air all cracked!
In just a moment, Beiliuye fell, holding a wooden stick in his hand, and moved with several black-clothed people.
A man in black slashed at Beiliuye's waist with a horizontal knife, Beiliuye quickly bent backwards and fell, but the other person slashed at his shoulder with a knife, and instantly rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding it again.
And at this moment, several knives were dyed red and fell again.
