The palace at the west end of Qingyang City, most of the people who live here are the concubines of the third emperor of the previous dynasty who have children, and even the old concubines left by the second emperor still live in it, and the treatment in the palace is no different from that of Qingyang Palace, until the end of the pension and burial in the imperial mausoleum.

A separate courtyard from the palace, where lived a group of widows of the anti-prince Gongzi Bai, the anti-prince since the rebellion of the Taiji Palace, the whole family was originally sent to the border of Yunzhong County by the first emperor, but when Huo Cheng was quite powerful, in order to find an excuse to abolish the prince of An Guojun, and take them back to Qingyang, no one has been paying attention to them, so they have been living here, as if they have been forgotten by everyone in this inconspicuous corner.

Today, the reverse prince's biological mother, Mrs. Chen is coaxing the prince's widow in the courtyard, a five-year-old girl, a seven-year-old boy, she tells the story of the past of the East Palace, and now they have been demoted to commoners, and they have not recovered their clan identity until now. Anyway, it's much better than going to the frontier to live a better life.

At this time, the former crown princess Cui Shi saw that Mrs. Chen was telling the two children about the East Palace, so she stepped forward and took the children's hands angrily, and said coldly: "How many times have I said it, don't mention the past, do you still want to be sent thousands of miles away to the border?" Don't you think we're not miserable enough? ”

Mrs. Chen was angry with this daughter-in-law, and she didn't have a good face, and said: "If it wasn't for your grandfather Cui Yan who instigated my son to rebel back then, how could the old body have fallen to this?" It's all you, the slut, it's your Cui family who killed my son, otherwise how could it be the turn of Zhao Ji's slut's child to take the throne in the world of Dajin now. ”

Cui Shi sneered: "Old woman, you say, you say casually, you'd better go out and shout loudly, you try to see if the current emperor will let us go?" Hum! ”

Mrs. Chen scolded angrily: "Slut, the old body used to be the princess of Chen Guo, she gave birth to a dragon son for the first emperor, she is your mother-in-law, she is the grandmother of the children, you are an old woman all day long, don't you even have a little respect and inferiority?" ”

Cui Shi sneered and said, "Old woman, what kind of stinky shelf are you putting in front of me?" We have long been deposed as commoners, and even the old lady in the palace looks down on us, do you really think you are the queen mother? In the future, you are not allowed to talk about the East Palace, don't forget, your eldest grandson Mu Qi is still clearing the wasteland on the edge of Yunzhong County, I don't want to cause trouble for myself, I just want to take my children to live a peaceful life. ”

Mu Qi is the eldest son of the former prince, and he will be almost sixteen this year, when the prince was defeated, because of his sensitive identity, he was not recalled to Qingyang, and Mrs. Chen didn't say anything when she heard Cui's mention of the eldest grandson Mu Qi, but just sighed to herself: "If my son can ascend to the throne, how can Qi'er still be on the border now?" Why this, why this...... Alas! It's all fate. ”

Standing outside the door and listening for a long time, Zhao Shu, the right minister, nodded and motioned for the guards behind him to open the door.

After the guards pushed open the courtyard gate, they sang: "Zhao Xiangguo has arrived." ”

Mrs. Chen and the Urging family were shocked when they heard this, but they didn't expect the dignified prime minister to come here to see them, so they hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to greet them: "The people's daughter greets Lord Xiangguo." ”

They lost their clan status, and the court officials could only kneel on the ground to greet them.

Zhao Shu said: "No courtesy." ”

After Mrs. Chen got up, she was a little panicked when she saw Zhao Ji, it turned out that this Prime Minister Zhao Cheng was actually Zhao Ji's younger brother.

Zhao Shu glanced at the former crown princess Cui Shi and said, "Cui Shi, can you take the children to step down?" ”

"Yes, the folk girl will retreat." Cui Shi was resigned, and took the two children to the other hospital.

Seeing this, Zhao Shu sighed in his heart, the crown princess who was infinitely beautiful back then had actually become like this.

Seeing that there were no outsiders at the scene, Zhao Shu pointed to the imperial physician beside him, Ling Li Glaze, and said, "Mrs. Chen, do you still remember Imperial Doctor Li?" ”

Mrs. Chen pretended to be calm and said: "The woman doesn't remember, Zhao Xiangguo, do you have any advice?" ”

Zhao Shu said: "Don't dare to advise, does Mrs. Chen know why the first emperor sent you to the cold palace back then?" ”

Mrs. Chen's face changed slightly, and she said, "I don't know. ”

Zhao Shu saw that Mrs. Chen's dead duck was hard-mouthed, so he changed his question and asked, "Mrs. Chen, do you know why Prince Bai was admonished back then?" ”

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she thought of her son, and felt a pain in her heart, and thought that it was Zhao Ji's son who was now sitting in the country, and she stared at Zhao Ji for a long time, and she had some understanding in her heart.

Her lips trembled, and she pointed at Zhao Shu and scolded sharply: "It's you? Could it be that you're all behind this? Did you kill my son? ”

Zhao Shu sneered: "Mrs. Chen, there is no basis for empty words, the rebel prince is in trouble, he is looking for death by himself, how can he be lazy on his own appearance?" ”

Mrs. Chen's eyes were resentful, she stared at Zhao Shu and laughed miserably: "What an empty mouth? Do you think I'll believe it? Zhao Shu! Zhao Shu, the old body has to admire you, it's been more than 20 years, but I didn't expect even the first emperor to look away......"

She glanced at Imperial Physician Ling Li Glaze again, she knew that it was impossible to pretend to be stupid, so she simply showdowned: "Yes, Li Glaze, your master, Imperial Physician Zhang, was indeed secretly poisoned to death by Zhao Ji's slut under the persecution of the old body." ”

Li Glaze's eyes changed, and he scolded angrily: "You poisonous woman, you are so ruthless, when the East Window incident happened, the first emperor was furious and beheaded my master's entire family, you poisonous woman is still alive now, why don't you die?" ”

Although Zhao Shu had known the truth for a long time, when he heard Mrs. Chen admit to killing her own sister, she was still trembling slightly with anger.

Zhao Shu asked in a deep voice, "Why?" ”

Mrs. Chen said in a calm tone: "Then you still need to ask?" Of course, for my son's position as the crown prince, the first emperor favored Zhao Ji's slut to the point of unreasonableness, and he was whimsical and wanted to make her the queen? If she becomes the queen, will my son still be able to keep the crown prince? ”

Zhao Shu said in a deep voice: "The first emperor was just a whim at that time, the first emperor knew very well that the Jiangshan Society was more important, and I, Zhao, also wrote with Cui Xiangguo to persuade the first emperor not to make my sister the queen, and my sister also shirked in every way, so the first emperor gave up, but I didn't expect that you, a poisonous woman with a femme fatale, would actually attack my sister." Later, after the first emperor found out the truth, because your poisonous woman was the biological mother of the prince, he did not investigate you deeply. ”

Mrs. Chen sneered and said, "What's the use of your advice? The first emperor has long been fascinated by that slut, even if she is sober for a while, sooner or later she still has to think about it, if she doesn't have the first emperor's heir, it's okay to say, it just so happened that she gave birth to another son, so she must die. ”

Zhao Shu sneered and said: "Okay, very good, Mrs. Chen, you do the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for being fifteen, Gongzi Bai is indeed a good prince, it's a pity, it's a pity, he became the prince of Li, and in the future, the history books will only record that the rebel prince tried to kill the king, it is really a stinking for 10,000 years!" ”

This is equivalent to Zhao Shu admitting in front of her that the prince was killed by me Zhao someone, and now not only has my sister's son been pushed to the emperor's throne, but Lao Tzu has also become a dignified right prime minister, and he is in power, what can you do with me? The so-called murder is heart-wrenching!

Mrs. Chen was poked in the sore spot, trembling with anger, roaring, and rushing over with a hideous expression: "Zhao Shu, I fought with you, you thief and traitor, you can't die well......"

Mrs. Chen just rushed to the front, but was kicked to the ground by Zhao Shu, she is a woman, how can she fight over a man, she couldn't help but fall to the ground and cry, and kept shouting the name of Prince Bai in her crazy mouth......

Zhao Shu sneered: "Thief? I can't afford this appearance, this country is still the world surnamed Jiang, and it has not changed for more than 800 years, your son is the bloodline of the first emperor, is my sister's son not the bloodline of the first emperor? Why can you only let your son sit in this splendid country? My sister's son can't sit still? ”

After Zhao Shu said this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, it seemed that the hatred that had been suppressed in his heart for more than 20 years at this moment had almost been released, and he looked at the crazy woman rolling on the ground in front of him and felt really relieved.

Yang Jin, the head of the inner court who had been following Zhao Shu on behalf of the emperor, saw all this, and his back couldn't help but feel a chill, how could he never have imagined that Zhao Shu, who seemed to be upright, would be such a vicious and vicious person?

He vaguely felt that the Taiji Palace Incident back then, and the later Prime Minister Huo Cheng, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, were actually in Zhao Shu's frightening calculations, but he didn't know what kind of heart-wrenching thing this dignified Prime Minister Zhao Cheng did before and after in order to push Gongzi Sheng to the throne?

At this moment, Yang Jin's eyes looked at Zhao Shu even more jealously, this person is far-sighted, cunning, definitely a hero among heroes, an old thief among old thieves, but fortunately, Zhao Shu is in his own camp.

Zhao Shu turned his head to Yang Jin and instructed: "Father-in-law Yang, give Your Majesty's imperial wine to this crazy woman, and let this poisonous woman also go down to meet her good son for a while." ”

"No!" Yang Jin stepped forward to Mrs. Chen and proclaimed: "Your Majesty's dictation, the sinner woman Chen, because of jealousy, killed the Queen Mother Zhao Ji to die, its crime, it is difficult to write, although it is abolished as a concubine, the death penalty is unforgivable, remembering that the sinner woman Chen is the biological mother of Prince Li, and she is specially given to keep her whole body, and I admire this." ”

Yang Jin saw that Mrs. Chen was still rolling on the ground and going crazy, and with a wave of his hand, three strong temple people rushed up to hold Chen, and one temple man stepped forward and forcibly pinched her mouth and poured poisonous wine into her throat.

In just a quarter of an hour, Chen's whole body shook like a dead fish, his body curled up in a circle, and a strange sound came out of his mouth, which was obviously poisonous, and when he was in pain, he was silent after a while.

Yang Jin stepped forward and asked: "Lord Xiangguo, Your Majesty has full authority to let you deal with this matter, now that the Chen family is dead, can you be buried in the tomb of Emperor Lishan as the concubine of the first emperor?" ”

Zhao Shu said coldly: "What is the face of such a poisonous woman to go to see the first emperor?" Abandon his body into the wilderness. ”

When Yang Jin heard this, his heart was cold, and he asked again: "Lord Xiangguo, how should the prince's widow Cui Shi arrange?" ”

Zhao Shu said: "The Cui family still has some sensibility, Your Majesty has also explained, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, the Cui family has been demoted to a concubine, it is not suitable to stay in the palace, just according to the old practice of the first emperor, they will be assigned to Yunzhong County to the border." ”

"No!" Yang Jin went to do it himself, and didn't mention it.
