Chapter 157: So Many Secrets
"Let's say, after following this palace for so many years, when has this palace ever blamed you." Shen Bilan glanced at Xiao Man and said, in fact, this is true, Xiao Man is Shen Bilan's maid who has been taking care of her when she was in the General's Mansion, and later her father died in battle, her mother died of illness, and the Queen Mother took her into the palace, her only request was to bring this little girl, because she knew that she must have her own henchmen in the palace, and the Queen Mother was not credible.
"The slave maid wants to know, why is the emperor so good to Princess Yue? As we all know, Princess Moon is not the bloodline of the Xigong family, just an orphan girl who was raised, King Ruian, King Huai and King Heng all disdain Princess Yue, only the emperor seems to be better to Princess Moon for so many years. Xiao Man raised his own questions.
The queen smiled: "Xiaoman, you asked this question well, this question is a question that many people want to know, but they dare not ask, if before, this palace would not dare to talk nonsense, but now that Concubine Ling Niangniang is dead, this palace is not afraid, it doesn't hurt to tell you." ”
Hearing the queen say this, Xiao Man really felt that he had asked the right question, it seems that this may be a secret for many years.
I only heard the queen say slowly: "Back then, Concubine Ling raised an orphan girl into the palace, abused and beaten all day long, and other children did not dare to approach Xigong Yue, only the emperor who was still the prince at the time was not afraid of these, and occasionally said a few words to her, she felt very grateful, and then Concubine Ling didn't know where to find out, saying that the person who caused her to slip the fetus back then turned out to be Queen He, who is today's Queen Mother." So she held a grudge and poisoned the pastry for the prince to eat, but at the critical moment, Xigong Yue ran to grab the pastry and knocked it to the ground, breaking the trap and letting the prince escape. It's just that this incident caused Concubine Ling to be very unhappy, she sentenced Xigong Yue, what the specific punishment, we have no way of knowing, but that night, it is said that Concubine Ling's palace screamed again and again, and then I heard that Xigong Yue can not be a mother for the rest of her life, I heard that the lower body was filled with poisoned water, and the emperor has been guilty because of this incident, so he has been like a sister to Xigong Yue for so many years. ”
Xiao Man was surprised after hearing this, and said with emotion: "It turns out that the legendary beautiful and gentle Lingfei Niangniang is so vicious. ”
"Yes, no matter how beautiful a woman is, no matter how gentle she is, she can't help but blow, once she encounters stimulation, it's over, Concubine Ling was very loved by the emperor during her lifetime, she was pregnant three times, but she slipped the fetus, I have to make people regret, when she learned that someone deliberately framed her, she lost her mind and became a crazy woman." The queen said slowly, as if telling a story.
"That's really horrible, hatred can drive people crazy." Xiao Man answered.
The queen nodded: "That's right, otherwise the Queen Mother wouldn't have been so afraid to kill Concubine Ling early, not long after the emperor died, Concubine Ling died." ”
"Huh? Didn't Concubine Lingniang die of martyrdom? Is it ......? Xiao Man's mouth opened wide in disbelief.
The queen smiled contemptuously: "In this harem, how can there be so many martyrs, the real cause of death is well known to everyone, the king is defeated, and now that the queen mother is in charge of the harem, she must be to bloody the harem and eliminate the enemy." ”
"It's terrible, it turns out that there are so many secrets." Xiao Man muttered quietly.
"There's a lot you don't know, okay, don't talk about this, you go and prepare hot water, the palace will bathe first, and the emperor will come over in the evening." The queen commanded.
"Yes, Niangniang, the emperor hasn't been here for a long time, it's okay now, I hope Niangniang will be pregnant with a dragon son as soon as possible, at least earlier than that Ye Zhaoyi." Xiao Man smiled.
"Don't worry about this, then Ye Anyao can see it in addition to her face, it's not surprising, and none of the ten Ye Anyao is difficult for Ning Lingshan." After saying that, the queen raised her hand and knocked over the tray of grapes.
The Imperial Study
"Hurricane, I've decided to get out of the marriage, and I can't force Yue'er to die." The emperor said calmly.
The wind didn't seem to be surprised, as if he had already thought of the result, and said with a smile: "The subordinates know that the emperor can't be ruthless, and it's okay to withdraw from the marriage, but the current problem is to give the Zhao family an explanation." ”
The emperor nodded: "That's right, the Zhao family must give an explanation, but I haven't thought of a suitable candidate yet, do you have one?" ”
Hurricane thought for a while and said: "To marry the Zhao family, it is necessary to avoid those important ministers, and not let them marry their sons and daughters, which is too threatening to the emperor, and can only find some irrelevant official positions, but they also need to be prominent." “
"Hehe, you kid is getting more and more shrewd, and you can slowly stop being a guard and become a civil official." The emperor laughed and teased.
"Forget it, the emperor, don't tease your subordinates, your subordinates can only be a personal guard in this life, and they will be exempted from being a civil official, the reason why they have become a little shrewd is because they are with the emperor every day, and they are close to Zhu." Hurricane said.
"You're getting better at talking, you're not going to end up like the ministers, and you're just flattering, are you? I don't want you to be like that. The emperor looked at the wind and smiled.
"The subordinates are telling the truth, and the emperor said that the subordinates are flattering, so it's really helpless, so it's okay if the subordinates don't say it." Hurricane said pretendly.
"Hurricane, haven't you been too idle lately, it seems that I should send you to the boundary slip and let you relax." The emperor looked at the wind road thoughtfully.
"Don't, Your Majesty, your kindness has been received by your subordinates, and your subordinates are still willing to stay in Bianjing, but is it still possible for your subordinates?" Hurricane looked aggrieved.
"Don't dwell on it, say it." The emperor asked.
"In fact, there is really one candidate, she is the family of imperial doctors, Miss Zheng, the niece of Imperial Physician Zheng, her subordinates have seen the list of the emperor's draft before, and there is this girl, who is said to be good-looking, has a good personality, and is from a famous family, and marrying the Zhao family can be regarded as a match made in heaven."
The emperor nodded: "Well, yes, that's her, the Taiyi family is definitely the best candidate, and she has no military power and is in a high position." ”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, there is still a problem to solve." Hurricane said with a worried look on his face.
"What's the problem?" The emperor looked at the wind suspiciously.
"I heard...... This Miss Zheng is the confidante of His Royal Highness King Heng. Swift Wind said word by word.
"What? The fifth confidante, Hurricane, do you want to play tricks on me, you obviously know that she is the fifth person, and you deliberately tell me, are you looking for death? As soon as the emperor heard that this Miss Zheng family was related to Hengwang Xigong Jin, he immediately became angry with the wind.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, haven't you heard what your subordinates have said?"
"If you have anything else, say it quickly, I can't say why, I killed you." The emperor said dissatisfiedly.
"That's the case, when my subordinates inquired about the news before, I repeatedly saw His Royal Highness King Heng and the Miss Zheng family fighting hotly, but what kind of person is King Heng, you also know that he is nostalgic for flowers all day long, drunk and dreaming of death, he is not only close to the Zheng family girl, but also good with other official eunuch ladies, so if the emperor wants to give marriage, you can first ask King Heng what he means, in case King Heng has no intention of marrying the Zheng family Miss to be the princess, don't you can give her to the Zhao family?" What the wind said was reasonable, and the emperor was no longer angry.
Instead, he nodded: "That's right, then you go to Hengwang Mansion and call me the fifth child, the affairs of the Zhao family can not be delayed any longer, before the divorce, you must give the Zhao family a suitable candidate, otherwise I will not have the face to see Zhao Wanshan, the general of the Blue Dragon." ”
"Yes, then the subordinates will go to King Heng and see what he has to say?" As he spoke, the wind dodged and disappeared.
