Chapter 726, Venture into the Palace!
"Princess ------"
"I've seen the princess ------"
"I've seen Princess Changning-----"
--------
Chu Ning swaggered in the forbidden palace garden, followed by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, and all the people passing by knelt down and saluted and greeted him warmly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although Chu Ning is the eldest princess of the former emperor, after all, her body has the blood of the Chu family, and the elders of the Chu family and the current king are still in the same family.
And the current King Hui loves Chu Ning very much, treating him as a given, not only retaining her title and treatment as Princess Changning, but also allowing her to walk freely inside and outside the palace without interference. This is a hundred times luckier than her brothers, who have been killed or demoted.
In the crowd, there was a handsome little eunuch who bowed his head and bent over, cautious. However, as he walked, he kept looking at the twists and turns of the forbidden place and the light and dark guards from the corner of his eye.
I'm afraid that the entire West Wind Empire, except for the small courtyard where the old immortals of the Song family live, is the most difficult to conquer here, right?
Chu Ning didn't look at those people, nor did she make any response, still maintaining her previous arrogant and willful temperament.
It is said that this move made King Hui's children very dissatisfied, and felt that she did not know how to restrain herself when she was in trouble, and she was extremely stupid. But King Hui praised her behavior, calling it frank and straightforward, and he insisted on suffocating his daughters from internal injuries.
Chu Ning led everyone into the harem, where the emperor's concubines and the empress dowager of the previous dynasty lived. Chu Ning had to come to say hello to the Empress Dowager and other concubines from time to time, so he was simply familiar with this part.
The hurried pace suddenly stopped, Chu Ning turned to the people behind him and said, "I'll go and say hello to the Empress Dowager, you are all waiting outside." I have a dzi left on the car, Xiao Anzi, you go and help me get it back. That's the gift I want to give to the Queen Mother. ”
"Yes." The little eunuch with clear eyebrows answered, turned and walked outside.
After Chu Ning finished giving the order, he took his two henchmen and maidservants and walked towards the Empress Dowager's Huaqing Palace.
The little eunuch hurried all the way through the harem, moving as fast as a ghost. Even the forbidden army with good eyesight, just felt that the flower in front of him, the person had disappeared, like a phantom.
Ice Fountain Palace.
The location of this palace is unremarkable, and from the outside it looks cold, like an ice fountain, without the smell of fireworks.
Most of the people in the palace are snobbish, and even more so those palace maids and eunuchs. The more favored the concubine, the more many people will catch up. In a place like Bingquan Palace, except for the old people in his palace, I am afraid that there is no one who comes to kowtow and say hello during the New Year's holidays.
Bang Bang ------
Inside the room, there was a crisp and pleasant sound of wooden fish.
Obviously, the Ice Spring Palace is probably inhabited by a master who likes to eat fasting Buddhas.
Li Muyang's body was hidden in a golden phoenix tree with dense foliage, and he waited for a while, and after finding that there was nothing unusual around, his body moved and disappeared from the treetops of the golden phoenix tree.
Bang Bang Bang ------
The woman in palace makeup was closing her eyes and chanting, and suddenly she felt a cold wind blowing around her, and there was an uncomfortable sense of restraint around her body.
She opened her eyes suddenly, and saw a little eunuch in a black inner service standing in front of her, looking at herself thoughtfully.
"Who are you?" The palace makeup beauty asked in a deep voice.
"You're not afraid of me?" Li Muyang asked suspiciously.
"You trespassed on the residence of this palace, it should be because you are afraid of me. Why should I be afraid of you? The palace makeup beauty shouted angrily. Those originally gentle and quiet eyes were angry, and they were also a little majestic and murderous. "Who are you? What is the purpose of breaking into the residence of the main palace? ”
Li Muyang sighed softly, bowed deeply to the woman, and said, "Shepherd has seen my aunt. ”
“--------”
The palace beauty was first startled, then looked at Li Muyang with a shocked face, and exhaled in a low voice: "You are Li Muyang?" ”
"I'm Li Muyang." Li Muyang nodded and said.
"You ------ you're not ----- how did you get here?" The palace beauty had a shocked expression on her face. Li Muyang is not just Li Muyang, he is also a dragon. This dragon is not in the sky, nor in the distance, but in front of his eyes. What did he run to find himself? And what is the purpose?
"I'm asking my aunt a question." Li Muyang looked at the beautiful woman in front of him who looked a little similar to his mother Gongsun Yu, and said loudly.
This woman's name is Gongsun Shu, and she is the cousin of Li Muyang's mother, Gongsun Yu, not the sister of the same father and mother. Gongsun Shu's father, Gongsun Haoran, and Li Muyang's grandfather, Gongsun Haoze, are cousins, and they are also the core members of the Gongsun family.
The Gongsun family married his mother Gongsun Yu to the Lu family, and sent a daughter to the Chu Palace to be a concubine for the emperor. The strange thing is that Gonghanshu has always been unloved by the emperor, not only has he won the title of Mrs. Lady of the Second Grade, but he has never left a son and a half daughter for the emperor. The Lu family rebelled, the first emperor died, and the Gongsun family naturally had to be implicated.
However, the difference between the Gongsun family and the Lu family is that although they also have core figures as officials in the court, most of their energy is focused on business. Moreover, they are the spokesmen of the Chu royal family's biggest interests among the people, and many imperial businesses are managed by them.
Therefore, even if the Song family and the Cui family wanted to wipe out the Lu family this time, they did not attack the Gongsun family too much. First, the Gongsun clan did not rebel with the Lu family------ whether the Lu clan had rebelled or not, the people of Tiandu did not know, and the people of the Song and Cui families did not know what to do?
Besides, if the Gongsun family is regarded as a party of the Lu family because of a marriage relationship, and their family still has a daughter as a concubine in the Chu Palace, is the Chu family also a remnant of the traitorous party? In addition, the Gongsun clan has always thought that they have won the credit of the royal family, and they believe in the principle of money to open the way on weekdays, and there are countless officials who have been co-opted and corrupted by them. Eradicating the Gongsun clan is not conducive to the stability of the court.
It can be said that the Gongsun clan retreated this time. Except for a few important positions that were taken away, most of their heads were saved.
Besides, the current Chu royal family still has a lot of business that is still being watched by the Gongsun family, and the holy family is not declining, and the day of recovery is close at hand.
Li Muyang has always wanted to enter the palace, and after entering the palace, he wanted to have a good conversation with this aunt and find the answer to the question in his heart. Previously, he entrusted his ideas to his most trusted friend Yan Soma. It's just that what I didn't expect was that Song Yu and Song Xiaoxiao's temporary action caused Yan Xiangma to be seriously injured, and then he was punished by the family and disappeared. Li Muyang's plan could only be put on hold.
Later, Chu Ning suddenly came up, and Li Muyang knew that the opportunity had come again. He knew that Chu Ning's enemies were the same as his enemies, they were all the Song family, the Cui family, and the current monarch Huiwang. Chu Ning did not believe that his father was stabbed by Lu Suokong, but firmly believed that his uncle killed his father.
Li Muyang discussed with Chu Ning, then pretended to be the guard beside Chu Ning, and sneaked into the palace to meet his unmasked aunt.
"What do you mean?" Gongsun Shu asked out loud.
"Auntie is in the palace----- she seems to be living quite peacefully?"
"The emperor took a step earlier, leaving the surviving people to live a difficult life. This Ice Fountain Palace, there is probably nothing but tranquility. Therefore, what you said is not wrong----- I am in the palace, and my life is indeed quite peaceful. ”
"They didn't bother with my aunt?"
"Who would take a weak woman in their eyes?"
Li Muyang looked at Gongsun Shu with sharp eyes, and said, "I want to know, why did the Lu clan collapse so quickly?" ”
"What?" Gongsun Shu looked at Li Muyang with a stunned face and asked out loud.
"Millennial Hundred Generals, what we are talking about is our Lu Clan------ what I don't understand is, why did the Lu Clan collapse so quickly? It seemed that overnight, those forces that were originally loyal to the Lu clan disappeared all at once. or be eradicated, or defect to the battle, or surrender to save their lives------ but if this is the case, how did the Lu clan get its prestige? ”
"This is your Lu family's business, you ask me what a surviving person who lives in the palace does?" Gongsun Shu got up from the futon and stood in front of Li Muyang and asked rhetorically.
"It's because my aunt lives in the inner palace that I want to come and meet you-----" Li Muyang said loudly: "Moreover, my aunt is the pillow person of the former emperor, can't you even get a glimpse of his thoughts?" If the aunt was really stupid, it would be impossible for her to live such a quiet and carefree life after the death of the emperor. So, what kind of secret is hidden here? Auntie, we are a family, why hide it? ”
Gongsun Shu avoided Li Muyang's gaze and said, "How can I know what the emperor is thinking? was originally a poor woman who was not favored, and she didn't have the opportunity to see each other on weekdays----"
"It seems that my aunt is still reluctant to tell the truth." Li Muyang said with a regretful face. "What is the reason for this? Who is behind the scenes manipulating all this? Also, why did Song Yu die? Who killed the people in Yuyuan? ”
"Aren't you manipulating all these ----- in the dark?" Gongsun Shu finally bravely met Li Muyang's eyes and said, "People inside and outside the palace say so. ”
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Li Muyang's mouth, and he said, "It seems that my aunt has often been in contact with the outside of the palace. ”
"There's always some news coming to your ears. After all, I am also a member of the Gongsun family. ”
"Gongsun family-----" Li Muyang looked at Gongsun Shu and said, "Grandpa, how is his old man's health?" ”
"Very good----
Gongsun Shu hadn't finished his words yet, and he had already lost the figure of the young man.
Soon, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside, and Cai Mo, who had been waiting by his side, walked in and said, "Madam, it's time to eat." ”
"Okay. You go first, I'll go over after reciting the Medicine Sutra. ”
When Cai Mo walked away, a black-robed man walked out from behind the huge Bodhisattva statue, looked at Gongsun Shu's pale face, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect him to come over------ I knew there would be such a day." ”
