Chapter 530: The Xiao Family
"Your Majesty......" Queen Wang looked at him movingly, "Ruying is not dead."
As soon as these words came out, it had long become a habit for Rao to remain silent, and the emperor's eyes couldn't help but show deep shock.
Queen Wang said: "This matter is a long story, and it starts with the bribery case of the Xiao family before the emperor ascended to the throne."
The Xiao family's bribery case.
These five words made everyone in the hall shudder fiercely.
At the beginning, the Xiao family was completely wiped out, which was extremely tragic, could it be that there was another hidden story in this?
The emperor's gaze became cold, "You say."
Queen Wang adjusted her breathing, looked at Mu Guifei, and said slowly, "Does Mu Guifei still remember her close friend, Xiao Lan, the daughter of the Xiao family?"
Mu Guifei clenched her cuffs tightly, "Is it possible that the queen mother wants to talk about the emperor's old affairs in front of everyone?"
"The emperor is the son of heaven, and family affairs are also state affairs." Queen Wang lightly scolded Mu Guifei, and then said, "What's more, Xiao Lanhe disappeared before marrying into the prince's mansion, and you have nothing to do with it, and the Xiao family's bribery case was caused by you!"
There was an uproar in the temple.
Mu Guifei narrowed her eyes suddenly, "The queen doesn't know what she is talking about."
Queen Wang said coldly: "Since the concubine can't remember clearly, this palace will tell you one by one!"
Mu Guifei looked at the emperor, but the emperor didn't look at her.
Mu Guifei gritted her teeth and listened to Queen Wang talk about the past more than ten years ago.
Xiao Mu's two families are world friends, Xiao Lan and Mu Guifei have known each other since childhood, and they are inseparable, but providence makes people, and the six princes that Mu Guifei wants to marry are in love with Xiao Lan and.
Mu Guifei was extremely conceited and refused to admit that she lost to Xiao Lanhe. It can also be said that it was because of her lack of honesty and her constant small actions behind her back that she inadvertently contributed to the long-term love between the six princes and Xiao Lan.
However, on the eve of Xiao Lanhe becoming the concubine of the Sixth Emperor, he suddenly disappeared, and the Xiao family was also demoted to prison for embezzling official silver, and the whole family was wiped out.
Under the extremely painful situation of the six princes, the queen mother took Ruying away from him again, which made the six princes suffer an even greater blow.
However, the Queen Mother really didn't want Ruying's life, and the reason for Ruying's disappearance was also related to Mu Guifei.
"Ruying originally obeyed the Queen Mother's arrangement and wanted to go out of the palace to marry, but she inadvertently discovered the clues of Mu Guifei's assassination of Xiao Lanhe.
She had been favored by the Xiao family, so she had the idea of pursuing, just when she was about to inform the emperor of the clues she found, but was noticed by the palace maid Liuye beside Mu Guifei, Ruying in order to save her life, so that it could be revealed one day, so she escaped from the palace through the arrangement of the queen mother, and she didn't even have time to say goodbye to the emperor."
The emperor was a little surprised when he heard this.
Since Ruying left the palace through the arrangement of the Queen Mother, why did he ask the Queen Mother when the Queen Mother concealed it?
Yes, the Queen Mother doesn't want him to worry about his children anymore, not to mention that everything changes in the court at that time, and he is about to ascend the throne. The Queen Mother wanted him to be his emperor with peace of mind, so she didn't reveal half a point about Ruying's whereabouts.
What's more, Ruying's escape is also related to Xiao Lan and .
The Queen Mother didn't want him to think more about this matter.
Empress Wang's statement continued, ignoring Mu Guifei's resentment, and said to her, "After Xiao Lan and his disappearance, you often approached the emperor in the name of her handkerchief, and you also gained more benefits and conveniences. But you are still unsteady in your heart, because Xiao Lan and the living do not see people dead or dead."
Mu Guifei clenched her teeth, and her nails were clasped in her palms and there was an unbearable tingling pain.
She put a lot of thought into becoming the Sixth Princess, but in the end, the Six Princes flew with Xiao Lan and Shuangsu, for her with strong self-esteem, it was tantamount to a great shame, how could she let Xiao Lan and smoothly become the Sixth Princess!
What she can't get, how can Xiao Lan get it!
However, in the end, she had to borrow Xiao Lan's love to become the concubine of the sixth prince.
It wasn't a good experience for her.
She never felt that she was inferior to Xiao Lanhe, but she even had to borrow her face to become the side concubine of the Six Princes
For Mu Guifei, it is undoubtedly an extremely angry thing.
Queen Wang looked at Mu Guifei with disdain, "After the emperor inherits the throne and reigns over the world, in addition to a few old people in the harem, there are big girls who have served since childhood, and there are also childhood sweethearts and cousins, and you are nothing special to the emperor, can you become a side concubine, or rely on Xiao Lan's friendship, you are unwilling to be angry, but you are helpless, you fall into deep resentment every day, and even dream of abusing Xiao Lan and. I'm afraid she'll come back one day and take everything from her."
Mu Guifei sneered, "Could it be that the queen slept on the concubine's pillow, and even the concubine dreamed and insulted anyone?"
Queen Wang would not fall for her, she disrupted her train of thought, ignored her ridicule at all, and continued: "You are afraid that if Xiao Lan and one day come back, the emperor will immediately welcome her into the palace, not only will she take away everything from you, but she may also become the queen and override you forever! So you came up with a very shady idea!"
The Xiao family's bribery case!
Everyone thought about it!
Could it be that this matter was actually done by Mu Guifei or even the Mu family?
"The queen doesn't want to spew blood!"
Queen Wang said, "Since what this palace said, there is naturally enough evidence, why should the concubine be anxious, don't you want to know where Xiao Lan and disappeared for two years? How did you escape from your people in the first place?"
Not only Mu Guifei wanted to know, but Li Qingyi was also curious.
I only heard Queen Wang say, "If Mu Guifei let people kill Xiao Lanhe with a knife, there will not be so much trouble later, only blame you for your vicious nature, not only want Xiao Lanhe's life, but also want to stain her innocence, by chance I know, she was rescued by Gongsun Jingzhi, who led the army to the battle, and brought to the border pass, Xiao Lan and the delicate and frail, a serious illness, intermittent illness for more than a year before getting better, when the border pass was in the war, she helped treat the wounded in the army, half a year later, the war was won, General Gongsun returned to Beijing to report on his work, I took her all the way back to the capital."
After Xiao Lan and returned to Beijing, she knew that the Xiao family had long since fallen, and she sent a message to the emperor through the palace people she was familiar with back then, wanting to ask the Xiao family about the ins and outs of the accident.
When the emperor learned that Xiao Lanhe was still alive, he was overjoyed and immediately summoned her to the palace and wanted to be canonized as the queen.
However, Xiao Lanhe was already the niece of the guilty minister, and was opposed by many people, the emperor had only just ascended the throne at that time, and he was often constrained by the courtiers, and the Mu family already had some power in the court at that time.
Queen Wang said: "The Xiao family has been labeled as a bribe, even the emperor can't save them, even if it is the root of the Xiao family, so that Xiao Lan and even if they come back, they will have no backing, and in addition, the daughter of a criminal minister cannot become the queen."
