Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Past

Lei Xiao and Lei Huwang and others said goodbye to the Empress Dowager, and because Lei Xiao was injured, he asked him to go back to the house first and invited the imperial doctor.

King Lei Hu went to the Huyu Xu Mansion.

As the Qingtian Mansion of the Jade Country, the Xu Mansion certainly has a special case hall Xu Qingtang and a prison cell for imprisoning prisoners.

As soon as King Xu returned to the mansion, his left hand Yang Escort hurriedly bowed down to pray.

"King Xu Hu, King Lei Hu sent two prisoners when he returned to Beijing this morning. ”

King Xu Hu wanted to go back to the main courtyard, but when he heard this, he shifted his steps and went to Xu Qingtang.

Looking at the lying down and the two people in the cage, Xu Huwang felt a headache on his forehead.

"This old man Lei, who made people want to die, and sent me here if they couldn't live or not, why did you send me here!" he complained: "Really, the case of breaking the jade soul lock is already a headache." ”

"If I don't send you here, will I send it to the tiger's mouth?" The Thunder Protector King followed him in not long after he entered the mansion on his front foot, and because he had always come and gone freely, the people in the mansion did not stop and report.

King Xu Hu glanced at him aggrievedly, "Send it to the Zongren Mansion, do you really think I'm an idler?"

"How dare you. Lei Huwang looked at him and felt amused, and couldn't help but ask, "What did you just say about the Jade Soul Locking Case?"

After he mentioned this, King Xu Hu immediately recounted the case in detail, and then told him about the affairs of the early dynasty and the urging of the empress.

"Sun Guojian is a scourge!"

The Thunder Protector King took a bite, and then analyzed: "That is, it has a certain relationship with stone refining......

"Who doesn't know!" Xu Huwang gave him a blank look.

"What's the hurry, listen to me. The Thunder Protector gave him a blank look, and then asked, "Are there any other strange or important things happening in the capital recently?"

"Strange or important things, it doesn't seem to be ......" King Xu Huwang pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Yes, there is a Feng family's stone refining room that suddenly appeared, and the ability to refine stones is not inferior to the Lin family and the Zhao family at all, and it can be said that the scale is even larger." ”

King Lei Hu hurriedly asked, "Did you find anything then?"

"Nope. King Xu Huwang hung his head and said: "After observing for a few days, everything is undoubtedly normal. So I plan to find out if they have provoked someone and retaliate for what they did. ”

"I need to be informed. King Lei Hu nodded, walked into Xu Qingtang's back room by himself, and said without anyone around: "Those two people are important prisoners, the prisoners who assassinated the imperial daughter, the empress dowager has ordered me to ......"

"Wait. King Xu Hu stopped him and straightened out: "The Empress Dowager secretly sent a personal guard to pick up people and pounce on them, but you brought them back? ”

"Blame, blame them, if they hadn't chased and killed, it wouldn't have been like this. "Of course, I didn't mention being kidnapped and coerced by the enemy, so I lost face.

King Lei Hu continued: "The Empress Dowager ordered to find out who was behind it, as well as what happened to the eldest princess back then. ”

The assassination of the princess is such a big matter that the Xu Mansion investigates reasonably, and it is not appropriate to hand over this matter to someone else.

King Xu Hu nodded silently and muttered: "I'm afraid I have to see the eldest princess back then, but it's not appropriate for us to go, and we will startle the snake." ”

After pondering for a while, King Xu Huwang suddenly asked, "How is she?"

The Lei Protector King, who had a very tacit understanding, understood what he was referring to, and nodded at the corners of his mouth, "Very general-like, intelligent, calm and decisive, and ......"

The Thunder Protector told him about her calmness when she treated Lei Xiao's wounds and Lei Xiao that she saw through the leader's intentions and the weaknesses of the other person, and then told him.

Of course, there will be no shortage of words that make people's blood boil when she and Lei Xiao reason.

King Xu looked at him in surprise, and then the corners of his mouth slowly rose, it was really not so exciting for a long time.

"If we had done whatever it took back then, would things have been better than they are now? He sighed suddenly.

"No, if we hadn't retreated back then, it would have been worse than we are now. I believe that the great princess in Nianci Palace will understand. The Thunder Protector replied without hesitation.

That was the trace in the hearts of their six great jade protectors, the indelible trace, the shame of having to compromise and being led away.

It is also a pain in the heart of the Queen Mother.

After Su Rui and his mother had a snack, the Empress Dowager recounted the events in the palace and the events of the year.

The current empress is her imperial aunt, that is, Hou Fengyu, the sister of her mother Empress Hou Jingyu. They were all born to Empress Jinling, and they also had the eldest son under their knees, that is, her uncle Empress Longyu.

The eldest son Hou Guanyu, the second son Hou Tingyu, the eldest daughter Hou Xinyu and the younger daughter Hou Wanyu, the imperial uncle Hou Longyu has a daughter and a son, the eldest daughter Hou Zhaoyu and the son Hou Jinyu,

Empress Jinling has a brother and a younger sister, the elder brother Hou Jin Ye only has a son and a daughter, the eldest son Hou Hongyun, the daughter Hou Evian, the younger sister Hou Jin Li two daughters and a son, the eldest daughter Hou Canglan, the second daughter Hou Chunlan and the son Hou Cen Lan.

I thought that the country of the royal country was the same as in ancient times polygamy, but I didn't expect it to be monogamy, the law prohibits polygamy, the son follows the husband's surname, the royal family is exceptional, and the son follows the royal surname.

The mother of the queen family is also big-hearted, and the country of the emperor only has the surname of the emperor, and she directly let Meiyu show her surname in the future, but fortunately, the remote village knows about it very limitedly, otherwise Meiyu has already died many times.

However, this assassination must be related to the throne, and the empress of that year was not Hou Fengyu, but the empress Empress Jingyu.

One night in the autumn of that year, at the time of the third watch, more than a dozen figures broke into the palace and killed Hou Chunlan and Hou Jinyu, Hou Guanyu and Hou Xinyu were almost killed, fortunately, the Royal Forest Army arrived, and the Empress Jinling saved her life, but she is still unconscious. That night alarmed everyone, and it was discovered that the person who took the lead in the assassination was actually a confidant of the empress Jingyu, and immediately all the fingers pointed at her. At that time, she was unhappy with the emperor, and the emperor was also dissatisfied with her, and was used to publicize it.

The Empress Dowager was furious at the time, even if there were different opinions and pressure from public opinion, the Empress Dowager believed in Hou Jingyu, Hou Jingyu and Long Yu were brought up by her, and she knew that she would not do this.

But everyone's confession was suspicious, and the six major jade guards couldn't find out the clues at that time, and under the power of the empress dowager and retreat, she was able to save her life, but she took off the throne and entered the Nianci Palace.

Nianci Palace is a place where important figures of the royal family make mistakes and are locked up. At that time, Hou Jingyu had been pregnant with Hou Meiyu for five months, and her stomach was not obvious. And the emperor is forbidden to step in Jingyan Palace, which is the sleeping palace of Hou Jingyu and him. Her eldest son, Hou Tianyu, was imprisoned in his own Tianheng Palace.

The six jade palaces also have a duty to supervise the empress, if the empress makes a big mistake, she has the right to unite and ask her to abdicate and enter the Nianci Palace, at that time, she had no clue and was afraid that she would be killed, in order to protect her safety and the empress dowager agreed to do so after discussing with the empress dowager. Presumably, those people behind her are also trying to force her to abdicate.

The royal family has ancestral teachings, once you enter the Nianci Palace, you must no longer be the empress, even if you come out.

After Hou Jingyu entered the Nianci Palace, no one except Que Ling was seen, so five months later ushered in Hou Meiyu's delivery period, and let the henchman palace maid Que Ling quickly take it away. But no, when Que Ling fled with the newborn Hou Meiyu in her arms, she was pursued.

When the Empress Dowager also went to Jingyan Palace not long ago, Yan Zhong accidentally said that she was walking her mouth before she learned about it. Yan Zhongyi is the monarch of Hou Jingyu and the father of Hou Meiyu. The Empress Dowager followed this matter to find out Que Ling's family background, and sent people everywhere to secretly investigate, and it took several days to find out in Banpo Village, and at the same time, she was also hunted down by those people.
