Chapter Seventy-Six: Han Shou's Man Who Stole Incense
Li Daiyun asked: "So, if you are really chosen to be the crown princess, are you going to agree?" ”
"Even if I don't agree, it seems that there is no way! But it's just a choice, and there are still 108,000 miles left in the days when you really become the crown princess! Besides, I'm just saying if, don't break off your friendship with me without knowing the reason, wouldn't it be unjustly dead, hehe! Ling Zhiqiao said with a smile.
"Sister Qiao, there must be your reason for doing this, don't worry! We've got your back! Zhou Yunyan said.
Ling Zhiqiao sat up straight and said, "You all sit down, in fact, I still have something to say today, last time Sister Liu'er and Daiyun asked me, and I always wanted to wait for someone to talk about it." ”
"What are we going to ask you? Obviously, Zhang Liu'er had long forgotten about the clouds, and even Li Daiyun didn't think about it.
Ling Zhiqiao shook his head with a smile and said, "You guys have such a fast memory, Sister Liu'er, what else can you think of except for Han Guard?" There was another burst of laughter.
Zhang Liuer also covered her mouth and said happily: "I really didn't think about it, haha!" ”
"Didn't you ask me why Xiao Qinxue said that I was not the concubine of the General's Mansion? Listen, I, Ling Zhiqiao, am indeed not the daughter of the General's Mansion, nor is it the daughter born to General Xiao's outer room! My mother's name is Xiao Mengzhi, she is the sister of General Xiao, and she should be General Xiao's niece.
Ling Zhiqiao looked at the other four sisters who were listening to a little cloudy and foggy, and she asked, "Do you understand?" ”
Zhou Yunyan asked first: "Then why did Sister Qiao and General Xiao tell the public that you are a concubine!" ”
"At that time, if I was Xiao Mengzhi's daughter, it might be dangerous, sisters, don't say it to the outside world now, including your parents, don't tell me my identity, just wait a little longer."
"Sister Qiao, it seems that you have heard a lot of secrets, can't you say why it is dangerous to tell your identity now?" Zhang Liuer asked.
"It's better that you don't want to know the reason now, but don't worry, His Majesty the Emperor and His Second Highness both know my true identity, I just don't want to hide it from you."
"Don't ask, don't ask, we don't ask, we didn't befriend you because you were the concubine of the General's Mansion, we were because of my sister, right?" Zhang Liuer said.
"Yes, what a concubine is not a concubine, as long as we are happy together!" Li Daiyun raised his glass and said.
Ling Zhiqiao also raised her wine glass and said to the four sisters: "Thank you for your trust, it's good to have you!" Cheers."
The sisterhood of this life has been sublimated to indestructible in the small private room of Sanqing Garden!
In the palace, in the inner courtyard of Jing'an Palace, the queen's mother's bedroom, Empress Jiang was a little restless, when she learned that Dongchang was abolished by His Majesty the Emperor, she couldn't help but be happy and worried that Nangong was shadowed, and losing Nangong was equivalent to losing her tentacles in the palace! I hope that Nangong Ying will bite to death and not admit his identity, and His Majesty the Emperor will not say that she is guilty of bullying the monarch! ”
If Nangong Ying really recognized his identity, hmph, Queen Jiang gritted her teeth and was ruthless in her heart, and then the palace said that she was threatened by Nangong Ying, and she could shirk it completely.
Empress Jiang instructed the queen of her personal palace: "Go and tell the little eunuch Sihai and ask him to send a message to the one in the general's mansion, so that she has something important to enter the palace." ”
"Yes, Queen!"
After Mama Wang left, Queen Jiang sat on the soft couch of the phoenix chair and secretly calculated, the talisman could not be found, and her and the prince's plan had to be stranded without limit, for the time being, she first used the plan she thought of to trap this girl, and first left her in the palace to study slowly, whether she knew where the talisman was, only after letting her enter the palace, she would definitely look for the talisman, that would be tantamount to looking for the palace.
Empress Jiang was thinking about it, and the little eunuch came to report: "Queen Mother, Your Royal Highness and Han Li, the commander of the guards, are out asking to see you?" ”
"But you brought someone with you?" Queen Jiang is very calm!
The little eunuch's voice trembled a little and said, "The guard camp has already surrounded the queen's bedroom?" The queen's fingers habitually knocked on the soft couch of the phoenix chair.
"You first let the Dongchang guards who are waiting at the door come to the main palace."
"Yes," the little eunuch went to ask the guards of the East Factory who had been standing at the door.
The queen mother swept her eyes and said coldly: "Do you know that the Dongchang capital camp has been seized by His Majesty the Emperor?" ”
One of the guards replied, "The minions have already heard about it, so presumably the queen asked us to wait because of this!" ”
Empress Jiang looked at the Du Wei who was talking and asked: "You are their head, naturally you can read it clearly, this palace has let you all gather here, just to tell you that the guard camp of the Second Highness and the Han Guards is outside the palace, and the surrounding water is impassable, and it is impossible to run, so you will obediently go back with the Second Highness, and I don't know if he is okay." ”
Empress Jiang continued: "If you are punished and can't hold on, just say that it is an order from the shadow of the Governor Nangong, your Governor is harder than your bones, he will deal with it, you just need to remember, sooner or later the palace will still let you return to your original position, do you understand?" ”
These dozen or so Dongchang guards all knelt down and saluted: "Thank you for the queen's guidance, and I will not forget the queen's entrustment." ”
Empress Jiang nodded with satisfaction, and said to the little eunuch beside Hou, "Let His Royal Highness and the Han guards come in!" ”
Twilight Yunhan and Han Li were prepared for the queen's refusal to hand over people, and the little eunuch came out to let them in, and they were a little surprised.
In the inner courtyard of Jing'an Palace, Du Yunhan saw that the dozen or so Dongchang guards were kneeling on the ground, and the queen mother smiled, looking very kind and gentle.
Twilight Yunhan and Han Li saluted: "The sons and daughters see the queen's mother's milk, and the ministers Han Li see the queen's mother." ”
"Flatten! Second Highness, are you here for these guards? ”
Twilight thought to herself, isn't this nonsense? Could it be that I am here as a guest, he replied: "The son is ordered by his father to take in the remaining guards of the East Factory and disturb the queen."
"Take them away! This palace has already lectured you, and they will obey the arrangements of His Royal Highness and Han Guards. ”
Twilight replied quickly, "Thank you, Queen Mother." After Twilight Yunhan got up, Han Li had already stepped forward, since the queen mother said that they would not resist, naturally the guard camp did not need to come in.
The dozen or so guards got up and gave a parting salute to the queen mother, and then followed Han out of the inner courtyard of the dormitory.
Twilight Yunhan also saluted, "The retainer will also retire." ”
Empress Jiang nodded, leaned on the soft couch of the phoenix chair with her hands on her hand, and said in a somewhat weak voice, Second Highness, please, this palace will not send it. ”
"The queen stays."
Dui Yunhan walked out of the inner courtyard of Jing'an Palace and asked Han Li, who was waiting at the door, "Unconsciously the queen mother is surprisingly abnormal today?" ”
Of course, Han Li also understood it, and he said: "Second Highness, if anyone dares to go to her palace to ask for someone, they will definitely be scolded and beaten, but I didn't expect that the queen mother was not angry today, but the more she is not angry, the more her subordinates feel that something is wrong with her." ”
"Let's wait and see! You escort them back first, this king will go to the mother concubine to have a look, and then go to the criminal department to interrogate Nangong Ying.
Twilight Yunhan also came to see his mother, and secondly, he mainly wanted to ask his mother, but did he know who lived in the cold palace back then?
After entering the Jade Concubine Palace, the little eunuch had already gone in to report, and the old palace maid greeted her first: "Your Highness, the Jade Imperial Concubine has heard about it and is worried." ”
Twilight Yunhan nodded, and when she entered the inner palace, the Jade Emperor Concubine had already gotten up and was waiting for him, and she asked anxiously, "Are you really sealing the East Factory?" Is it indeed the will of His Majesty the Emperor? ”
After helping the Jade Emperor Concubine to sit down, Twilight Yunhan said, "Mother, of course the sons are at the behest of His Majesty the Emperor, is this still fake?" ”
The Jade Emperor Concubine patted her chest and sighed, "I'm really afraid that you are making your own decisions." ”
"Mother concubine don't worry, Erchen not only sealed Dongchang, but also caught Nangong Ying, just now Erchen and Han Guards went to the queen's palace, she was surprised by Erchen, and she happily let Erchen take the remaining Dongchang Duwei away."
The Jade Emperor Concubine smiled lightly: "This is beyond your expectations, she has a lot of tricks?" She knew that she couldn't screw it at this time, and you said that if she made it difficult for you, you would go to His Majesty's place to participate in a play, and she would still have the slightest benefit at that time? “
"That's what the mother said." Twilight Cloud Han just thought of that.
The Jade Imperial Concubine knew her son best, and she looked at this Twilight Yunhan and asked with concern, "But are you worried about the blessing banquet?" ”
Twilight Yunhan said slightly: "There is a point, Qiao Er said that if she is chosen by the queen's mother, she will take the opportunity to enter the palace to find a talisman." ”
"Isn't that dangerous? You're willing to let her go. The worries in the Jade Imperial Concubine's heart were all on her face.
"Mother concubine, of course the sons don't want Qiao'er to go, but the father and emperor also have the same thoughts as Qiao'er, and the sons can only follow their wishes."
The Jade Emperor Concubine sighed and said, "Your father always shrinks up like this, letting others take risks for him. "Twilight Yunhan is a little strange, she has never heard her mother complain about her father before.
With a hint of a smile on the corner of Du Yunhan's mouth, he said, "Mother, fortunately, I caught Nangong Ying this time, and Qiao Er will be relatively safe in the palace in the future." ”
"That's good, I haven't seen that girl in this palace for a few days, and I'm very worried about her safety, so you should go back early after reading this palace! It's not that you have to interrogate Nangong Ying, don't push him too quickly! ”
"It's the mother's concubine, and the son-in-law knows!" Twilight Yunhan agreed, but he didn't leave, he continued to ask, "Mother, do you know who lived in the original cold palace in the palace?" ”
The Jade Imperial Concubine's face changed slightly, and she asked with doubts, "Why do you care about this matter?"
Twilight Yunhan replied: "Qiao Er was met by Nangong Ying in the palace a few days ago, and after being entangled by him for a while, she accidentally fell into a secret passage, which led to the cold palace, and she found two people in the cold palace. ”
"Found two people?" The Jade Emperor Concubine was surprised.
She then asked, "That cold palace has long been deserted, how can there be anyone?" Don't scare the princess! ”
Twilight Yunhan hurriedly comforted her: "Mother, the two people who were found were not from the cold palace, but the queen mother and a man, they were having a tryst, and according to Qiao Er and the little eunuch who fell down the secret passage together, the queen mother and that man seem to have been trysts in the cold palace all along.
The Jade Imperial Concubine was silent, she was silent for a long time, and Twilight Yunhan waited silently next to the Jade Imperial Concubine for a long time.
"Can you see that the man is from this dynasty?" Twilight Yunhan must know something when she heard her mother say this?
Twilight Yunhan whispered, "Qiao'er said that he is not from this dynasty. ”
The Jade Imperial Concubine coughed suddenly, and Twilight Yunhan hurriedly handed the concubine a glass of water and said, "Does the concubine know who it is?" ”
The Jade Emperor Concubine slowly spoke: "If you guess correctly, it should be the prince of the book, and you have to call him the imperial uncle according to the seniority." ”
Twilight Yunhan didn't expect this question to ask him an imperial uncle, but he never knew that he had an imperial uncle for as long as he could remember.
"That's the mother concubine or a palace maid next to the queen mother, because of the good handwriting of the hand, won the appreciation of the queen mother, so let the mother concubine accompany her every day, the prince of the book is a few years younger than your father, his mother is a princess of the Western Regions alliance and relatives to our dynasty, so the prince of the book is a little exotic appearance, easy to identify.
"He often goes to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, so the palace is particularly impressed by him, probably because he has never seen someone with that kind of appearance, he just wants to see it twice."
"From the conversation between the prince and the queen mother, the palace knows that he and Jiang Min'er of the Prime Minister's Mansion, that is, the current queen mother, are in love, and after the new emperor's enthronement ceremony is over, he will tell the new emperor to allow marriage."
But I didn't expect that the new emperor was delayed again and again, and he wanted to use Jiang Chengxiang's foundation and connections in the court to establish a stable throne, so he wanted to marry Jiang Chengxiang's daughter as the queen.
"I don't know how many times the prince went to the queen mother, and asked the queen mother to make the decision for him, but the edict has announced that there is no reason to change."
Since then, this prince has never seen the Queen Mother in the palace again, Jiang Min'er feels nothing? She entered the palace and seemed to enjoy the feeling of being on top.
"The queen mother also let her father accept the palace, probably because she didn't want your father to spoil her alone! Soon the queen mother announced that she was pregnant with the dragon species, and your father was happy, and that was his first prince. ”
