Chapter 560: Hongxuan and Mrs. Hou
"Your Majesty!" Liu Yunxiang exhaled urgently, although he had already guessed it, but it was confirmed, he was still surprised, "It's really him!" β
After the eldest princess and the old lady of Dingyuan left, Liu Yunxiang returned to the backyard and saw that Yan Du was going out, so he pestered him and followed.
After knowing that this matter involved the emperor, he was very reluctant for her to join in. She got into the carriage softly, and he didn't like to take care of her on the way.
Along the way up the mountain, to the Yunxia Mountain Taoist Temple, there is a little Taoist child to lead them to the Zen room where the Hongxuan Taoist people live.
Liu Yunxiang was surprised when he heard the truth, but Hongxuan and Yan Duan were calm and calm, one poured tea and the other drank tea, one laughed and the other was indifferent, and the two seemed to be competing.
She remembered the Taoist boy who brought them to the meditation monastery and said, "Master is waiting for the two of you in the meditation room." β
Liu Yunxiang asked curiously: "Hongxuan Dao people know that we will come?" β
"Master said it would always come, just a little earlier and a little later."
Therefore, Hongxuan knew that Yan Dui would come, and this was his supernatural power.
Liu Yunxiang couldn't stand the atmosphere like this, so he couldn't help but ask: "The emperor and Mrs. Hou are in the palace and the other in the backyard of the deep house, how can they get better?" β
Speaking of this, she remembered Mrs. Yan, that is, Yan Dui's mother, she was insulted by the emperor and gave birth to Yan Dui, is it the same as this situation?
Remember the URL
Liu Yunxiang looked at Yan Dui, as if he shouldn't ask this question, but Yan Dui's face was cold, he had no previous memory, and he didn't have the humiliation caused by this life experience.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Yan Dusk raised her eyebrows.
"No, ahem." Liu Yunxiang picked up the teacup in front of Yan Du and drank it dryly, "This tea is quite delicious." β
Hongxuan smiled and said, "This matter is a long story. β
"The Taoist said slowly, what we have is time." Liu Yunxiang said.
Hongxuan sighed, his expression slowly changed from a detached calmness to the world, bringing troubles, "I don't know if the two of you have heard about the poor Tao, it was twenty years ago. The autumn of that year was imminent, and I had been reading hard for several years, just waiting for a leap into the dragon gate, and I was also in high spirits, feeling that the champion list was already in the bag. At that time, I was supposed to have a girl, and when I was in high school, I went to her house to propose. She is the daughter of an official eunuch, and I am from a poor family, and the two of us met on a spring outing, and we were attracted to each other. Although she is subject to etiquette, she still passionately pursues love, and often sneaks out to see me at home. At that time, I also loved her very much. β
Liu Yunxiang looked at Hongxuan, this person was dressed as a Taoist priest, and he was a fairy wind and bones, and at this time, his brows were furrowed, with amazement. Through the current Hongxuan, you can imagine what kind of handsome son he was twenty years ago.
"At that time, students from all over the world gathered in Shengjing, some were born in poor families like me, and some were born in businessmen or official eunuchs, but they can be divided into two types of people after they are put aside, one is still hanging before the exam, and the other is those who have never worked hard and ate flowers and wine before the exam. I belong to the former category, and I scoff at the latter, feeling that sooner or later such people will rot into the mud and be trampled under the feet of people like us. At that time, I was really naΓ―ve, full of ambition every day, thinking about the title of the gold list, and the candles in the cave room. However, one night, I was reading late at night, so hungry that my chest was pressed against my back, so I wanted to go out and eat a bowl of wontons. There was a wonton stall outside Flower Street, and I sat in the dark alley, drinking hot soup, and saw the rich people coming out of it with the invigilators, and they were drinking so much that they hooked their shoulders. As they passed by the wonton stand, I distinctly heard a man say, "My lord, please leave the matter of the exam questions to you." As he spoke, he stuffed a wad of silver tickets into the invigilator's arms, and the invigilator accepted it and patted the rich man on the shoulder to reassure him. I was so angry that I went to the Tribute Court early the next morning to denounce it, and the result was ......"
Speaking of this, Hongxuan laughed, not sad, but sarcastic, probably because he felt that he was really ridiculous at that time.
"As a result, I slandered the court officials and was imprisoned, and despite my bitter pleading, I still missed the autumn festival. When I came out, the list had already been released, and the rich people who were on the list that night were all on the list, and one of them was even Tanhua. I didn't have a reputation, but I loved the woman, and I still went to her house to propose, but her father kicked me out. Not long after, she got married and married to the Marquis of Dingyuan. β
When Liu Yunxiang heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Mrs. Dingyuan Hou, you know each other before, and there is this relationship!" β
Hongxuan shook his head and smiled, "At that time, I felt that the officialdom was dark, and it was useless to take the exam again, but it insulted my own talent, and the beloved woman married someone else, under the double blow, I was in hiding." β
Liu Yunxiang exhaled softly, she only knew in her previous life that Hongxuan saw through the world and became a monk in front of the autumn season, and it turned out that such a thing happened in the middle.
"Uh, but what does this have to do with Mrs. Hou and the emperor?"
Hongxuan sighed and continued: "After she married into the Hou Mansion, she was beautiful on the surface, and in the eyes of others, she was even more a loving couple, but in fact, in private, the Hou Ye had a bad temper and often beat her. She had told me, but by that time I had given up my little love and devoted myself to cultivating the Tao and not asking about mundane things. The year before last, when the Marquis of Dingyuan passed away, she came to the Taoist temple and said that she was liberated and asked me to return to the world, so that we could reshape the frontier together. Of course I didn't agree, and I couldn't even understand why she was so obsessed, that little bit of love had been worn out for twenty years. And one day, when I went to Xuanyuan Terrace to preach the Dharma, she sneaked into my meditation room and lit acacia incense, but ...... But it was the emperor who came in, and the two of them bumped into each other by mistake. β
Liu Yunxiang pursed his lips, "So it's not that the emperor forcibly insults Mrs. Hou, but ...... It was her own sin. β
Soon after this incident, she became pregnant and was known to the emperor. The emperor was already bent on begging for a child, how could he let her go, so he naturally forced her to give birth to the child. β
Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang didn't know how to react for a while.
Here's what happened......
"Mrs. Hou's maidservant Nian'er found out about the relationship between Mrs. Hou and the emperor, so she had to die, and the emperor asked Han Zicheng to deal with it, but Han Zicheng was a pervert, and he didn't kill her directly, but tortured and killed." Yan Duan analyzed lightly.
Hongxuan nodded, "That's right. β
"On the same day, the six girls brought their maidservant Lan Xiang to the Taoist temple to get the sleeping incense, and someone deliberately led them to the Zhuangzi, apparently Shangguan Xu's people, in order to let the six girls break through this matter. Nian'er is actually an accident, after all, she is just a maidservant, her death is not enough for the criminal department to intervene, Shangguan Xu wants to kill the six girls, only when the six girls die, this case can be big, under the pressure of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, the emperor had to let the criminal department intervene. And although the sixth girl broke through, she knew kung fu, and she still escaped from Zhuangzi with her maidservant Lan Xiang, Qin Fei had already prepared, and he asked Red Candle to intercept and kill the two outside. Red Candle only killed Lan Xiang, I don't know if it couldn't be beaten or what, so the six girls ran away. Yan Du said.
"The sixth girl is missing, the old lady of Dingyuan Hou entered the palace and begged the emperor, and the emperor handed over the case to the criminal department, and asked His Royal Highness to investigate, the emperor knows His Highness's ability, and is not afraid that you will find out?" Hongxuan asked with a smile.
Yan Du frowned, "Indeed, he can give it to his confidants, but why should I check it?" β
