Chapter 302: Follow-up Questions

Thinking of this, this week Chengyong opened the will left by the first emperor with some resentment, and this opening, he was completely stunned.

This is a testament to the throne, it is the pen and ink of the first emperor, and every word is very clear.

It turned out that what he was looking for for so many years turned out to be this, it turned out that he had always thought that when his father was going to abolish him, the crown prince and choose another prince, his father had left such a will, a will to pass on the throne to him.

So, what is his resentment for so many years, so many years of entanglement, and so many years of pain?

And Rong Ruo, Rong Ruo's matter, what did he do back then, to treat a beloved woman who was already pregnant with his child so cruelly.

not only misunderstood her, but also chilled her heart because of this, became angry with the Bai family, fabricated trumped-up charges and destroyed the Bai family together with Cao Xiangye, forcing Rong Ruo to die because of guilt, this pile, one by one, what did he do!

At this time, Zhou Chengyong fell into a stomach full of remorse, and now he was completely shocked by the truth of what happened back then, and he was in pain because of it.

It is said that the emperor at this time, Zhou Chengyong, because Master Wu revealed the truth twenty years ago, was staying alone in the imperial study and mourning the past.

And over there, Xiao Shunzi, the chief eunuch who received his order, was going to the small warehouse at this time to pick up and pull, preparing to come out with a lot of supplements, what ginseng and deer antlers, what Ganoderma lucidum Ejiao.

Anyway, he looked at all the people who could replenish his body and pulled out a copy, and then ordered a few little eunuchs to come in and move these supplements out, and then took them to the concubine's dormitory.

At this time, the noble concubine Niangniang was happy with the second prince Zhou Hongxian, celebrating the bad luck of Fang Jingshu and Mr. Ye, and for the unhindered operation of her brother Cao Xiangye, but she didn't expect that at this time, the chief eunuch beside the emperor came over with a solemn face at this time, and the tray in their hands was filled with various supplements, which were placed in front of her one by one. After the tonic was placed, the chief eunuch and several eunuchs behind him gave a big gift to the concubine Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Second Prince, Zhou Hongxian.

"The minions meet the noble concubine Niangniang and meet His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

This noble concubine Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Second Prince saw that Xiao Shunzi, the chief eunuch of the red man beside the emperor, came over in person and sent such a bunch of supplements to the emperor, and the two of them thought that something was not quite right in their hearts.

Sure enough, the news that the chief eunuch Xiao Shunzi passed on to the two of them made the two of them suddenly look shocked, and the concubine Niangniang was dizzy in an instant, and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, His Royal Highness the Second Prince was next to him and helped the concubine Niangniang, so that she did not lose her demeanor in front of the palace maids and eunuchs.

At this time, she naturally pretended to be calm, stared at Xiao Shunzi with resentful eyes and asked, "Have you found out who did it?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the matter is still under investigation, and the real culprit has not been found at this time, so it is impossible to determine who did it." The chief eunuch Xiao Shunzi replied respectfully.

"Also, the emperor already knows about this matter, so he sent a servant to come over and tell Niangniang, let Niangniang take care of her body, don't be too sad and cry to break your bones, in that case, the emperor will feel sorry for Niangniang."

After this little shunzi said this, the concubine endured her grief and choked up: "Father-in-law, this palace knows, you thank the emperor for your kindness for this palace, and this palace is grateful." Also, the palace will make good use of these supplements sent by the emperor to the palace, and I also ask my father-in-law to tell the emperor. In addition, if there is nothing else to do at this time, please ask your father-in-law to let the palace stay alone and be quiet for a while, the palace is a little tired, and I hope that the father-in-law will forgive me. ”

The concubine Niangniang still has such a calm attitude at this time, which makes the chief eunuch Xiao Shunzi a little impressed.

He also knew that it was not appropriate to disturb the concubine and His Royal Highness the second prince at this time, so he nodded, gave a look to the few little eunuchs around him, and led them to bow down and exit the concubine's bedroom.

And when Xiao Shunzi left like this, the originally delicate and delicate concubine Niangniang's expression suddenly became hideous.

"Emperor, it's inconvenient for the concubine to go out to investigate this matter, you go to find out the disaster of the Xiangye Mansion for the concubine, and the palace must clearly know who destroyed my Cao family."

"Mother, this matter does not need to be ordered by the mother, the emperor will naturally investigate the matter clearly. It's just that the emperor is worried about his mother's body and bones at this time, but he doesn't want to really toss his own body and bones for the affairs of his uncle's family. ”

His Royal Highness the Second Prince, Zhou Hongxian, knew at this time that most of his support forces had been cut off, and his anger was greater than his pain.

He was indeed a little sad that his uncle's family had suffered, but these were insignificant things compared to the highest position. Now that someone has weakened his power like this, he is very suspicious that it was not a brother in the palace who did it, so it is imperative that he naturally investigate who instructed someone to do it behind the scenes, especially the recently triumphant third emperor brother Zhou Hongyu, who has been in the court recently, has not been less targeted at him.

Therefore, at this time, His Royal Highness the Second Prince was obviously guessing in the direction of conspiracy theories, and he had to hurry back to the mansion to find the eyeliner placed in the various princes' mansions to see if he had been a little negligent recently, so that these brothers didn't take him seriously.

Zhou Hongxian thought ruthlessly at this time, he thought, even if his uncle's power was gone at this time, his mother's secret power for more than 20 years and the power he had pulled over the years would not allow those brothers to belittle him as the second prince at will, which would not allow those brothers to gloat at this time to step on him, hum-

This week, Hongxian was obviously in a hurry to leave the harem at this time and rushed back to the mansion to arrange other things, so he really didn't have much effort to comfort his mother.

And knowing a son is like a mother, how can the concubine Niangniang at this time not know what this son is thinking? Therefore, she did not stay with him any longer, but simply opened her mouth to let him go home.

"Emperor, don't worry, before the murderer of the Cao family is caught, the mother concubine will definitely not fall easily. What's more, your uncle's accident, in this harem, I don't know how many people are waiting to see the jokes of our mother and son, so the mother concubine will not let her own child have an accident at this time. It's you, it's important to get down to business, hurry up and find out about your uncle for your concubine, your concubine is waiting for your news in the palace, you can go back now, your concubine is tired and wants to be alone for a while. ”

As soon as the concubine Niangniang's words came out, Zhou Hongxian nodded eagerly.

"It's okay, it's better for the concubine to rest at this time, and the emperor won't bother the concubine here. In addition, regarding the murder of my uncle, please rest assured that the emperor will definitely find out, and the emperor has resigned. ”

As soon as the words fell, the second prince Zhou Hongxian turned around and strode away from the concubine's bedroom.

This concubine looked at Zhou Hongxian's back walking quickly, and her expression darkened silently.

This son, sometimes it looks too cold, and I don't know if she suffers in the future, will the emperor be the same as today, only thinking about his own interests?

As soon as the concubine thought of this, she didn't dare to think about it anymore, as smart as her, some things are better to live a good life by pretending to be confused, otherwise, if everything is too transparent, how can she survive in this complex and dangerous harem?

It's hard to be confused, isn't it?

Just like a lot of supplements sent by the emperor at this time, she asked her not to be sad on the surface, but how could she not understand in her heart that the emperor had long regarded her brother as a thorn in the eye, if there was a chance, the emperor would have taken action himself, not to mention that now someone has helped him to make a move, he may not be so happy at this time.

Thinking like this, the son is like this, and the husband is like this, and the bitter taste at the corners of the concubine's mouth is getting thicker and thicker.

It's just that if she wants to live, if she wants to stand firm in this harem and continue to live, she can't say anything, even if she knows it, she can only act as if she doesn't know anything, she doesn't understand anything, so that she can deceive herself and continue to live.

But at this time, the concubine Niangniang probably didn't know, the emperor was ten times more painful than her at this time, a hundred times or even a thousand times, she may not know that for men, even if it is the emperor of the Ninety-Five, some people, some things are hidden in their hearts, since they have become a knot, it has become a catastrophe.

Then, that person, that thing will be hidden in his heart forever, once there is a chance to burst out, then the deepest pain will stab that person to blood, I am afraid that the four words of sadness are not enough to describe the pain of that person.

Of course, in this palace, there are sad people, so naturally there are happy people.

This Cao Xiangye's family was wiped out, just as the concubine Niangniang expected, there was no one in the palace who came to comfort him at this time, and he couldn't count the stones that fell into the well.

Those people, seeing that the Cao family was destroyed was not enough to vent their hatred, in the face of the Cao family's annihilation of such a tragedy, they also secretly added a fire and a handful of oil one by one, and spread the death of Cao Xiangye to a boiling fire, most of the rumors were aimed at Cao Xiangye, and it was rumored that Cao Xiangye died innocently, and it must have been because he had done too many immoral things to provoke people to take revenge like this, and the people also ran to tell each other, and everyone quietly celebrated, scolding Cao Xiangye's family for getting retribution and deserving of such an end.

Such rumors soon spread ten, ten, hundreds, hundreds, and thousands, and soon spread, and the people who were bold in the folk even made a heroic statue to the person who destroyed the Cao family, and worshiped three meals a day, thanking the unsung hero for destroying the Cao family who harmed the people.
