Chapter 286: The Seventh Month

What did Sun Guifei do to Empress Wu and the three princes?

If the surviving palace people around Empress Wu did the same thing to the six princes, in the eyes of the outside world, it can only be regarded as a tooth for a tooth, right?

It's good that he or she hasn't done anything to Sun Guifei yet.

It's also possible that it didn't have time.

If it was really the palace people around Empress Wu who did something, then it would be very reasonable for Concubine Sun Guifei to think that "the murderer was related to the Wu family". At that time, the harem was under the control of Sun Guifei, and the only thing she couldn't control was Empress Dowager Zhou's Cining Palace, and it was also logical to suspect that Cining Palace had hidden the murderer.

Similarly, it is impossible for the Gui family, who lives in Cining Palace, not to recognize the henchmen beside the eldest sister, Empress Wu. Her remarks in front of Zhen Guogong's family can actually be regarded as explicit.

But if this is the case, why should Gui say it so vaguely? Facing the Zhou family in the Zhenguo Mansion, she doesn't need to hide the existence of this person at all, right?

Hai Jiao couldn't help but say: "This Mrs. Gui is really yin and yang...... Since I have never heard of the rumor that Empress Dowager Zhou hid the murderer of the six princes in my previous life, the matter should not have been revealed. The faithful palace man did not know whether he was dead or alive...... Neither the Empress Dowager Zhou nor the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion will leak the news, so why would Mrs. Gui say such vague words? She either said that she was wronged and had never done anything, Sun Guifei was just suspicious, and the sixth prince actually died unexpectedly; Or just admit that you know what's going on. Saying this is half a concealment and half a half, is it deliberately selling off?! At this time, the people of the Zhenguo Mansion have to worry about whether the Empress Dowager Zhou has touched the death of the six princes. If there really is...... Let the emperor know, but it's not a lot of trouble! ”

Haitang said: "How could Empress Dowager Zhou get involved in this kind of thing? Which prince ascends the throne is the same for her. Moreover, she also sent Concubine Xu Xian to the emperor. If the Empress Dowager Zhou was really suspected of hurting the six princes, how could the emperor trust the people she recommended? Not to mention staying in Cining Palace to recuperate and heal during a serious illness! ”

The more Hai Jiao thought about it, the more he wondered: "Could it be that Empress Wu's palace people made their own decisions?" It's not surprising that she will hate Concubine Sun Guifei, but Empress Dowager Zhou is willing to leave people in her palace for shelter, and she also took in the three survivors of the Wu family. How could it be possible to let people walk around the palace casually? The six princes won't run to the realm of Cining Palace for no reason? How did the palace people meet the Six Princes? If she was really loyal to the Wu family, hadn't she considered what kind of harm she would bring to the three survivors of the Wu family if she missed? It will also affect the Queen Mother. She has endured it for so many years, can't she endure it for a few more days? Why don't you send Gui's mother and daughter and Wu Ke out of the palace first? ”

What happened in Cining Palace at that time, the reef and begonias can only be inferred by conjecture. Haijiao believes that his speculation is likely to be close to the truth, but more intelligence is needed to make a conclusion. He planned to run more to the Zhenguo Mansion to collect more information.

In addition, he thinks that the Gui clan is likely to have seen Concubine Xu Xian before she was crowned a concubine, and may know her true identity. In case the Gui clan talks nonsense in front of the Zhou family, it will not affect Jin Jiashu.

The news that the survivors of the Wu family lived in the Zhenguo Mansion has not yet spread in Chang'an City. Reef thought it was best not to write it down on a piece of paper, lest something go wrong on the way and get the news out. The safest way is for him to tell Jin Jiashu the news in person. But at the moment, he can't spare time, so he plans to wait for more information to be collected before talking to Jin Jiashu in detail.

After discussing with his brother, Haitang privately drew a map of the Great Chu harem according to his memory. Although it has been fifty or sixty years since she left the palace in her last life, in the past fifty or sixty years, this dynasty has not built a palace on a large scale except for the reconstruction of Kunning Palace after the fire, at most it is just tinkering or renovating and reinforcing it, so the pattern of the various palace rooms in the harem should generally not change.

She looked at the distance between Kunning Palace and Cining Palace on the map, as well as the palace courtyard on the way, and even Wan'an Palace where Sun Guifei lived.

I remember that when my cousin Xie Wenzai chatted with Cao and Lu, he once mentioned that Sun Guifei's palace was actually opened by the two palaces of Wan'an and Yongshou, and it was still called Wan'an Palace, which was the largest building complex in the palace. There were many courtiers who felt that it was inappropriate, but because the emperor acquiesced and Empress Wu did not say anything, Sun Guifei stayed like this. Although she has not been sealed for so many years, and she has not moved into Kunning Palace, just by virtue of the pomp of this Wan'an Palace, it can be seen that her glory in front of the palace has not declined.

Don't look at Concubine Xu Xian, who was crowned a concubine and gave birth to a prince, is far inferior to Concubine Sun Guifei in terms of appearance.

Wan'an Palace occupies such a large piece of land, and there are countless palace servants around Sun Guifei. Not to mention the quasi-prince's nurse Xu, who had just entered the palace back then, even if it was a veteran confidant of Empress Wu, it was not easy to break through this heavy palace and escape from Kunning Palace to Cining Palace under the noses of Sun Guifei and her minions. How did Concubine Xu Xian and her companions do it back then?

Begonia always feels that there is probably some secret hidden here, and I wonder if she will know one day?

The next day is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and it is also the day set by the Zhenguo Mansion early to place the New Year's wine banquet.

Early in the morning, the Hai family got up to freshen up, ate some pasta, and began to dress up and put on makeup.

Ma attaches great importance to today's banquet in the Zhenguo Mansion, not only does he wear genuine makeup, he wears the most gorgeous new clothes, he wears a full set of gold and jade heads, and even the clothes and jewelry of his grandchildren are also personally selected, and he absolutely does not allow his children to have any rudeness in the Zhou family.

The clothes and ornaments of Haixi Cliff are also carefully selected by Ma. He himself didn't have any opinions, he was at the mercy of his wife, and after he got dressed, he sat by the kang all the time, waiting for the notice of Xie Wenzai and others in the front yard while reading the newspaper.

The people who received the post today to go to the Zhenguo Mansion are not only the Hai family, but also Xie, Cao, and Lu. Ma also arranged their clothes and accessories early, and would never let anyone laugh at her for not taking good care of her guests.

Hai Changan also received the post, but he was not interested in seeing too many outsiders, so he politely refused early and was responsible for staying to watch his family.

There was still a long time before noon, so Ma urged the family to get on the horse.

Hai Jiao was a little unaccustomed to tidying up the black suede fox fur cloak with silver filigree embroidery on his body, and he always felt that it was very heavy, and now he felt uncomfortable even turning over and getting on the horse.

He was about to complain, when he saw his sister Haitang wearing a gorgeous dress, walking to the carriage with dignified and elegant steps, but jumped into the carriage lightly and quickly, and did not even need a stepping stool, and the beaded flower tassels inserted between the heads of the head only shook slightly, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

He whispered to Haitang: "When did you learn this skill?" Why haven't I seen you use it before? ”

Haitang glanced at her brother proudly: "This is a secret." Don't ask about girls' skills! "Can she still tell the truth, is this the product of the combination of the court etiquette learned in the previous life and the martial arts that she has practiced hard in this life?

Haijiao didn't have much experience getting along with everyone's ladies, but he remembered that Miss Zhuang, who he had seen in his previous life, also walked with a pearl crown, but she could not move, it seems that this is really a girl's unique ability.

Xiaomei and Miss Zhuang didn't complain, he just wore a thick cloak, what is there to dislike?

Reef straightened up and flipped on his horse with great skill.
