Chapter 186: The Man Behind the Scenes
"Mother! Do you know what you're talking about? Do you want to rebel?" Zhao Mosheng felt that something was wrong at this time, the mother concubine was afraid that she was crazy, and the rebellion was to destroy the nine clans.
"I've promised it for you!" Concubine Shu smiled maniacally.
"Mother! You are crazy? Rebellion is beheaded!" Zhao Mosheng was a little scared, it was the first time he had seen such a concubine, and he was a little scared from the bottom of his heart.
"The throne was meant to be yours! We're setting things right! For the good of the country! Your father is old, it's time to come down! It's time for a change of ownership of this country!"
"Mother! You are the woman your father loves the most! How would you do that? Anyway, he's my father, he's your husband!"
"The woman you love the most? Are you thinking too much? How can there be love in the royal family? If there was really love, your father would not have killed Zhao Moxi's mother back then, his mother is your father's favorite woman, and I am just a favor because I am a little similar to his mother. It is precisely this face that separates me from my beloved man inside and outside the walls of this palace and cannot be together for the rest of my life, and I can only watch him marry someone else. I have never loved your father, only deep hatred. Every touch he made me sick."
"So I'm a product of hatred? Am I the product of the hatred between you and your father?" Zhao Mosheng was a little difficult to accept this fact, the mother concubine must be talking nonsense.
"Now that you have grown up, it is time to tell you some things, you are actually not your father's child at all, you are born to me and Lord Zhuge Shangshu." Concubine Shu in order to completely win over her son. Causing a turmoil, he decides to tell his son all the truth.
It was time to wonder if he could accept it or not.
"I, I'm not the Emperor's son. I am the son of Shangshu Zhuge Diyun, mother, you didn't lie to me." Zhao Mosheng obviously couldn't believe it, for so many years, he had thought that the emperor was his own father, and he had always thought that he was similar to his father in many ways, how could he suddenly not be his child?
And Zhuge Diyun has been silently supporting him behind his back, it turns out that he is not choosing a tree to perch, but because he is his son?
"No, it's not. When I was pregnant with you, I was originally going to marry my lover, who is now Zhuge Diyun, but I didn't want to be forced into the palace by your father before marriage!"
"So I'm just a joke?" Zhao Mosheng's face became more and more pale, and his whole body trembled unconsciously.
I don't know if it was caused by a serious injury or if it was stimulated by the news.
"Son! Don't do that! Is it the emperor's child? When you marry Xiao Yueqing, Xiao Dingzhou will rebel! With the support of Xiao Jiajun and Shangshu Zhuge Diyun, force your father to abdicate, and you will replace him when the time comes! Wouldn't it be great?"
"Have you discussed this matter with Xiao Dingzhou?" After a long time, Zhao Mosheng asked slowly.
"It's been agreed, let's do it the day after your wedding! Xiao Jiajun has now secretly rushed to the capital. After the deed is done, you will be the emperor, I will be the queen mother, and the whole country will be in the pocket of our mother and son!"
"Mother! Do you know what the consequences will be if you fail?"
"Die!"
"Aren't you afraid?"
"It's better than being lonely forever in this palace, it's better than being reused by your father for the rest of your life. It's better than being trampled under your feet for the rest of your life, think about it yourself."
These words deeply stung the most fragile part of Zhao Mosheng's heart, if he can't get the reuse of his father, then he, the abolished prince, will not be able to raise his head in the public for the rest of his life, and if people know that he is not the emperor's child at all, then he is also a dead end, in this case, it is better to fight, in case he succeeds.
The so-called success will make ten thousand bones dry, all this is originally a double-edged sword, success will get everything, failure will lose everything, including life, everything in this world has a price, and the price of getting the throne is the life of the bet.
After thinking it all out, he decided to take a chance.
He is the emperor
Son, he can't accept the life of being looked down upon by others in the future, and he wants to let the people who once looked down on him, including Xiao Zhuyue, who knocked him out of the ring this time, step on his feet and make her his concubine.
He begged Xiao Zhuyue not to leave him, he was even willing to give up the position of concubine to Xiao Zhuyue, but Xiao Zhuyue was so unappreciative, since he didn't appreciate it, don't blame him for being polite, and when he inherited the throne, he would put him in the palace for all kinds of torture, enter the cold palace, and never be free for the rest of his life. After thinking about this layer, he finally agreed to his mother's request.
Concubine Shu saw that her son had opened her mind, hugged her son happily, and cried out excitedly, he had already begun to have the dream of the queen mother, but I don't know if this dream is real, whether it can be realized, and in the end is it a dream or a nightmare?
This time the Xiao family was lively, and the two sisters decided to marry on the same day, Zhao Mosheng, the sixth highness of Xiao Yueqing Palace, and Xiao Zishan married Tang Gongzi of the Tang family.
Getting married on the same day is really not lively.
Although they were married on the same day, the dowry given by the Xiao family was very different, and the dowry given to the third miss was pitiful, and it seemed that marrying her out would complete the task, and the third miss was a child who was not favored.
The dowry for the second miss was taken out of the old bottom of the Xiao family, and the plates of pearls and jade all symbolized the weight of the second miss in Xiao Dingzhou's heart.
You must know that Xiao Yueqing has long been beaten by Xiao Zhuyue as the maid of the family, and she does not deserve so much dowry when she marries.
Won't Xiao Zhuyue care?
Sure enough, on the day of marriage, these dowries were stopped by Xiao Zhuyue.
and let Xiao Hu's Xiao Jiajun take over this batch of dowries.
Xiao Dingzhou looked for Xiao Zhuyue many times, but he didn't get a good deal.
"These are all from my grandfather, why do you want to give your daughter a dowry, and give it to a highness I hate very much!" Don't forget how did the Xiao family's estate come about? It's not my grandfather's bare hands to fight the family business, why do you say you want to give your daughter a dowry? I'm afraid that his old man won't be able to rest in peace even in Huangquan." It's blocked.
Although Xiao Dingzhou wanted to refute it, he couldn't refute it, because every word Xiao Zhuyue said was true, and every sentence was reasonable.
He had no choice but to put down this batch of dowries and make up for his daughter again.
When Xiao Yueqing knew the news, her face turned green. Xiao Zishan was so happy that he laughed so much that he turned his back on his back, it turned out that the second sister's dowry was not as good as hers.
At least her mother's fourth aunt has been frugal over the years, and she has saved a lot of silver to buy her a dowry, which is something that Xiao can't take away month by month, and Xiao month by month can't find any stubble.
The mother said that she would never let her marry the Tang family, she just had to wait quietly, but what method would the mother use to stop her wedding, the mother did not say.
It was about to be time for the bridegroom to pick up the bride, and the more time it came, her heart tightened, and her hands tightened tightly in the sleeves.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Just when the two daughters were about to get married at the same time, a piece of news came, and the messenger said that the son of the Tang family had just gone out this morning, and was suddenly assassinated and killed on the way to get married.
Everyone is a son of the family, and his martial arts are strong, who can kill him? I can't tell you what is going on.
No one noticed that the corners of the bride Xiao Zishan's mouth hooked up a strange arc, as if she had known that the son of the Tang family would die violently on the way to greet her this morning.
At this moment, she has already understood her mother's plan, as long as the son of the Tang family is dead, then she doesn't have to marry the Tang family!
Xiao Zishan tore off her red hijab, took off her red wedding dress, and left the Xiao family without looking back in front of all the guests.
From this day on, Xiao Zishan's mother and daughter seemed to have disappeared, and even if Xiao Dingzhou sent people to look for them, they couldn't find anyone.
It was also from this day that the defeat of the Xiao family was officially unveiled.
After the assassination of the son of the Tang family subsided a little, Xiao Yueqing put on a red hijab or got married, and at this moment, only marrying the Sixth Highness is her best way out.
This time it is the position of the concubine, and she can only go on like this way, it seems that people's fate is never chosen by themselves.
After all, what she wants is to get farther and farther away from her, and what she hates is getting closer and closer to her.
You can only take one step at a time.
But she never expected that the life of marriage would not be easy.
What she has to face is a situation where her mother-in-law doesn't love her and her husband doesn't hurt.
On the wedding night, she was left alone in the empty room, and after asking the talent, she learned that the Sixth Highness went to another woman's room on the wedding night, and was completely reluctant to step into her room.
Xiao Yueqing had nowhere to express her hatred in her heart, she hatefully ripped off the red hijab on her head, picked up the glass of wine on the table, and drank two glasses alone.
The wine glass fell heavily to the ground, and she withdrew from the people and took off her red wedding dress, didn't these people just want to see her jokes?
But she didn't care! Go wherever your Highness loves! As long as there is a day when his father is there, Zhao Mosheng doesn't dare to do anything to himself!
She still has the name of the sixth princess.
The red candle gradually went out, and the night passed like this.
The next day, the city gradually became lively, more and more people appeared, and there seemed to be some fresh faces in the capital.
This series of changes attracted Xiao Zhuyue's attention.
It's not even Halloween, why are there so many people in the capital suddenly?
There is an anomaly! She sensed that something might happen.
She sent a message to Xiao Hu early in the morning, asking Xiao Hu to pay attention to the changes in the next few days.
As she expected, there was a continuous influx of outsiders in the city for two days, and what was even more strange was that Xiao Hu found many weapons in the abandoned house in a remote place, and Xiao Yue guessed that someone had transported them into the city in advance.
"Miss! With this large number of weapons, I suspect that someone is going to rebel! Do you, my Xiao family, who lives sixty miles away, want to go back to the city secretly?" Xiao Hu found Xiao Zhuyue to meet alone.
"Secretly return to the city, the emperor will not believe in the Xiao family army even more!"
"Then tell the Emperor about this?"
"The emperor may be behind the murder of my grandfather and mother, let's keep a little behind, besides, he doesn't believe in Xiao Jiajun for a long time, I don't think it's necessary!"
"How? Listen to the eldest lady below."
"You also disguised your Xiao family army as merchants, farmers and herdsmen, and slowly moved to the vicinity of the capital! It's ten miles away, so that if there is anything, we can take care of each other!"
After Xiao Hu got the affirmative answer, he left to make arrangements.
