The red wall is more outside, the drum tower is obliquely next to it, and the wild flowers are fragrant when you wander. The faint plum rain, the scattered apricot yellow, the sorrow is full of dreams.

Yesterday's frost, today's Huanniang, plotting a few grandiose. In the dark night, the squeaky wheel sounds, and a plum is borrowed to make yellow sorghum.

"Father-in-law Zhou said goofs? Do you know something unseemly? The emperor asked suspiciously, and at the same time said to Grandpa Zeng: "Have you arranged it outside?" ”

"The old slave has been arranged, and the forbidden army is guarding the entire periphery of the Yaoguang Palace, and Murong guards are guarding the door."

"Okay, Grandpa Zhou, you can say it."

"This matter is a long story, this is also to blame the old slave for being too kind, seeing that the mother and son of King Ning have been at peace in the past few years, I thought that if I only want to live a peaceful life in this world, I will not hide the facts and leave them a way to live. Who knew that they really had other intentions, and they still coveted the throne, and they dared to threaten the old slave, so don't blame the old slave for not hiding the dirt. Father-in-law Zhou inadvertently raised his voice as he spoke, his face flushed with excitement due to anger, and he coughed.

Murong Ningyan said softly: "Father-in-law Zhou, you drink saliva first, slow down and don't get excited!" ”

Father-in-law Zeng hurriedly handed over the water, Father-in-law Zhou took a sip and felt a little better, and continued: "It was after the death of the prince, the first emperor had an illness, and he hadn't been to the harem for a long time, but Su Guifei of Changle Palace was favored by the emperor on weekdays, and went to her a few times, but I didn't expect Su Guifei to be pregnant, which is undoubtedly a great joy for the former emperor with fewer heirs, so he discussed with Su Guifei, so as not to be known by other concubines, let her not be angry with outsiders, and carefully protect the fetus in her womb, And this matter is not only known by the emperor and Su Guifei, but also by Su Guifei's personal maid Huan Qin'er and the old slave. ”

"Concubine Su? She doesn't have any children, huh? The emperor asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty listened to the old slave in detail, when Su Guifei was pregnant, the emperor cherished it very much, and only went to see it every time, but no longer stayed there, and the old slave saw that the emperor was much better, and one day he asked the emperor which concubine he wanted to go to at night? The first emperor was afraid of cold because of his old age, so he remembered the plump Murong noble, and that night the first emperor did not visit Murong noble, but just drank some wine and fell asleep. ”

When Gonggong Zhou said this, he glanced at the queen embarrassedly, and the emperor said, "It's okay, you continue to talk." ”

"I didn't expect that Murong nobleman was too scheming, and in the days to come, he thought that the emperor had boiled ginseng soup as an excuse, and added aphrodisiac herbs to it, and he also blamed the old slave for dereliction of duty, but the silver needle was tested to be non-toxic, and he didn't expect this stubble at all. In this way, the first emperor began to be infatuated with the Youyue Palace, but his body deteriorated. When the first emperor found out about this, he didn't punish her for this, but never went to Youyue Palace again, but often went to see Su Guifei, but all this was hated by Murong Guifei, thinking that Su Guifei had stolen her limelight, so he tempted Su Guifei, who was pregnant and had a bad appetite, and ate a large amount of hawthorn and caused a miscarriage. ”

"Hawthorn has the effect of invigorating blood and removing stasis, and pregnant women really can't eat more." Murong Ningyan said with a heavy face, thinking: This is really Murong Ningshuang's usual style.

"This angered the first emperor, cut off the title of Murong noble, and demoted him to the Huanyi Bureau on an errand, who knew that when the first emperor was seriously ill, the news of her pregnancy suddenly came out."

"How long did that take to go to the Raccoon Bureau?" The emperor frowned slightly and asked in a low voice.

"It was three months after she entered the Huanyi Bureau, from the child's conception to childbirth, it took a full eleven months, and it was only after leaving the emperor that she was pregnant in March, because the emperor was seriously ill at that time, no one went to investigate, and then I thought about it, this matter is really strange."

The emperor said solemnly: "Who is the person from the fashion service department at that time?" Mr. Zeng also went to interrogate carefully. ”

Murong Ningyan asked, "Gonggong Zhou, you said before that they threatened you, what's going on?" ”

"It is precisely because the old slave was the person next to the emperor at that time, and this Chen Mingshu is the grandfather of Murong noble, he knew that I must know the bits and pieces at that time, and suddenly found me a few days ago, first said to give me a large sum of money, let me go back to my hometown to care for the elderly, the old slave said that he has lived in the palace for decades since he was a child, no old and no young, and he has no memory of his hometown, and he is also a person when he goes back, it is better to be in the palace, and he doesn't want to go back, and then he wooed me and said that the emperor is now. Said the emperor. ”

"Father-in-law Zhou, be outspoken, forgive you for your innocence!" The emperor knew that there were no good words, and Gonggong Zhou did not dare to speak.

"He said that the emperor has no ability to govern the country. I only know the wind and snow, and now I have a demon girl back to the palace. This throne will be lost in the hands of His Majesty sooner or later. Father-in-law Zhou said tremblingly, peeking at the emperor from time to time, and then at the queen.

"Said that many ministers in the court jointly signed a letter, wanting to establish King Ning as the crown prince and let the old slave join in, but the old slave categorically refused, so he threatened the old slave, saying that if he didn't obey, let the old slave not know how he died, and the old slave said that he was afraid that you would not succeed? It's an old bone anyway, and it doesn't make much difference if you die early or late, and you don't want to know how you died. ”

"The more they do that, the more something is wrong." Murong Ningyan answered.

"Yes, I thought that Murong Ningshuang had reformed himself, but it was really easy to change, and his nature was difficult to change."

At this time, Father-in-law Zeng came to report: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao, who was in charge of the Huanyi Bureau back then, has arrived. ”

"Let him in!"

"Weichen see Your Majesty and the Queen Mother!"

"Excuse me! You may be seated! ”

When Mr. Zhao saw that Gonggong Zhou was also there, he sat down next to him, not knowing what was going on, and he was a little trembling.

"Manager Zhao take it easy, I just know something about Murong Ningshuang in the Huanyi Bureau back then."

"Murong Ningshuang. But now King Ning's mother? ”

"It's her, do you think what was so unusual about her in the Huanyi Bureau at that time?"

"I really have an impression of her Weichen, because she is the only one who has only been in for more than three months and then went out, and there is a big contrast between the front and back after coming in."

"Well, Mr. Zhao thought about it carefully and gave me a detailed explanation of how she was abnormal."

"She is very different from other concubines who have committed crimes, she was very arrogant when she first went in, and she didn't even pay attention to me, that kind of arrogant energy, giving people the feeling that she would go out immediately, but then suddenly it was like a different person, she was good to everyone, she was diligent in her work, and often helped other women wash her clothes after washing, not to mention the respect for me, and the jewelry that was not searched on her body was distributed to everyone, I still have a hairpin from her, I didn't want it at the time, she desperately stuffed it to Weichen, and Weichen took it out and handed it over when he went back."

Speaking of this, Manager Zhao trembled a little, and Murong Ningyan hurriedly comforted: "Manager Zhao is out of the way, don't worry, just tell what you know, don't miss any details." ”

"Huh! Huh! At first, she was really annoying.,It's both squeamish and irritable.,When I came to menstruation, I didn't wash my clothes because of the cold water.,Later.。。 ”

When Murong Ningyan heard this, he glanced at the emperor, and hurriedly asked, "Come to menstruation?" When do you have your period? ”

"It's not long after I entered the Huanyi Bureau! At that time, Wechen was not allowed to take leave. Speaking of this, Manager Zhao seemed to suddenly realize something, his eyes were wider than copper coins, and he seemed to understand the reason for asking him at once, and patted his head and said: "Look at my pig brain, why didn't you think about it at the time, where did the child in her belly come from?" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that you have to send someone to protect Lord Zhao and his family, it seems that he is an important witness in this matter."

"That's true, Manager Zeng, you are responsible for arranging it."

"The old slave obeys!" After Grandpa Zeng finished speaking, he walked out.

"Manager Zhao, tell me in detail everything that happened after her period, including who she met and what abnormal behavior she had?"

"I've seen someone after that. I saw her former Yahuan Chunlan, at that time she seemed to ask Chunlan to help her find her grandfather Chen Mingshu, but Chunlan was counted down, Chunlan was a little heavy at the time, and within a few days, it was like a different person. ”

Murong Ningyan thought to herself: Could it be because Chunlan's words woke her up and ignited the fighting spirit in her heart? He asked, "What about after that?" Have you ever seen anyone again? ”

"After that, apart from becoming more and more likable, I really haven't seen anyone again."

"If you think about it again, you must have seen someone, or you must have gone out, otherwise the child in this belly can't explain it? Is there a man in the Raccoon Bureau? ”

"There is no man in the Huanyi Bureau, and she has never gone out, but there is really one abnormal thing, first of all, her grandfather, Chen Mingshu, the left governor of the Inspectorate, came to see her once, because they were all old faces who had been on errands in the imperial court for many years, and they did meet that time, and Lord Chen only stayed for a short time before leaving. Then one night, Master Chen came to Weichen with wine and food, saying that he was thanking me for taking care of his granddaughter, and we talked a lot that day, and drank very happily, so I drank a few more glasses and slept until noon the next day, but for so many years, the key has never left me. As he spoke, he lifted his coat, and there was indeed a bunch of keys on a strap around his waist.

"With such a big bunch of keys here, do you want to easily get them when you use them?" Murong Ningyan asked.

"Convenient!" Manager Zhao said and took it off as soon as he stretched out his hand, it turned out that he made a hook out of wire, and tied the whole set of keys to the hook at one end, and hung the other end on the rope around his waist.

Murong Ningyan glanced at the emperor, and the emperor said, "You said that you were drunk and slept until noon the next day, and the key was still hanging on your waist when you woke up?" ”

"Exactly!"

"But you're drunk, and for so long, someone else could have taken the key and opened the door, locked it again, and returned the key."

"This, this, this is a dereliction of duty on behalf of Weichen! Please punish Your Majesty! As soon as Mr. Zhao heard this, his body was like a sifting chaff, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Get up, except for those who are here today, you are not allowed to make a public announcement, if half a sentence is spread, it will be copied all over the house!"

"Wechen understands! Be tight-lipped! ”

"The old slave understands! Be tight-lipped! ”

"Since Manager Zhao is a key witness in this matter, with Murong Ningshuang's character, how could he be easily let go?"

It can be seen that this King Ning is not the posthumous son of the former emperor at all, so who will be the father of this child?
