Chapter Forty-Eight: Jingyang Palace Fire
It is said that it is a ghost market, but it is actually a small market, but the things in it are not seen in a normal market.
After Di Xue and Chu Ran entered, they found the six fingers who were in charge of giving the news to King Qi.
After seeing it clearly, I realized the reason for his nickname, it turned out that it was not because he had six fingers on one hand, but because he had four fingers cut off for gambling in his early years.
There are only six left of the two hands.
"The two of you are the nobles that His Royal Highness King Qi said!"
Six fingers looked Di Xue and Chu Ran up and down, and then said.
Di Xue nodded: "You take us to see the person who sold the box that day!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Chu Ran threw a piece of silver to Six Fingers, and then Six Fingers took the two of them to an inconspicuous small vendor.
"Two, this is the person who sold the box at that time."
After the six fingers finished speaking, Di Xue and Chu Ran used silver to get the news of the small trader.
It turned out that the box was not his, but was sold to him by a person who came to the ghost market, saying that as long as he released the news of getting the box, he would definitely be able to sell it for a high price, and he would pay him part of the money.
So the peddler did as he was instructed to advertise in the ghost market that he had obtained a treasure box.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the box to be sold, and the man agreed to give him money.
However, he was also a little uneasy about this job, after all, it was too easy to earn money, not to mention that he knew that it was King Qi who bought the box.
So he secretly followed the original owner of the box, but found that this person finally entered Li Yong's mansion.
Di Xue glanced at Chu Ran after hearing this, and sure enough, it was Li Yong who was the ghost.
After leaving the ghost city, the two returned to the house to rest.
On the morning of the second day, Di Xue and Chu Ran were left behind by the emperor.
"Di Aiqing, I have thought about your plan, as long as I can save Qingyang from the sea of suffering, I am willing to do it."
After Emperor Chu Yun finished speaking, his words changed:
"But you two must be careful, there must be no mistakes at this time, otherwise I will really have trouble sleeping, and I am afraid that I will become a sinner in the Eastern Wu Kingdom!"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will do his best to get this matter done, just to grieve the princess!"
After Di Xue finished speaking, the emperor's face softened:
"This is also a helpless move, the bell must be tied to the bell, maybe this is also what Qingyang should experience."
Then Di Xue and Chu Ran said some words of loyalty, and the emperor let the two leave.
Out of the palace, Di Xue and Chu Ran hurriedly rushed back to Dali Temple, because Han Shu came to report that Zhao Shilang's body was fine, and he had come to his senses.
"I'm afraid the person behind Zhao Shilang is also Li Yong, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have deliberately retaliated against Wanbao Zhai."
After Di Xue finished speaking, Chu Ran nodded:
"Maybe we'll have to find a way to get him to speak."
"What do you think is the reason why Zhao Shilang killed his daughter to slander Feng Zining?"
"Maybe he wants to be the head of the household, or maybe he wants to pull Feng Shangshu into Li Yong's camp."
Although Chu Ran's words are straightforward, it is very likely that this is the case, and if he wants to pry Zhao Shilang's mouth open at this time, he will lose confidence in his backer.
As the two were talking, they saw the envoys of the South Vietnamese Kingdom coming towards them, with all kinds of silk and satin on the car, and many specialties of the Eastern Wu Kingdom.
It looks like the princess's plan is about to begin.
"The things you asked me to prepare have been sent to the palace, and we can start with Your Majesty's consent."
After Chu Ran finished speaking, Di Xue nodded, and then the two walked towards Dali Temple.
I saw that Zhao Shilang was sitting on a chair by Han Shu.
"Zhao Shilang is not harmed, he is still used to living in Dali Temple!"
After Di Xue finished speaking, Zhao Shilang did not answer, and she was not annoyed, but continued:
"Squire doesn't have to be in a hurry to speak, I have time here, but you have to weigh it clearly, and keep silent about what it can bring you!"
As soon as Di Xue's voice fell, she heard Zhang Ying running in and saying:
"My lord, come out and take a look, something is going on in the palace!"
"What's the matter?" Without waiting for Di Xue to speak, Chu Ran asked.
"There was an accident in Jingyang Palace, and there was a fire in the palace, saying that the queen mother's spiritual position was burned!"
Di Xue nodded after hearing this, and followed Chu Ran to the outside of the house, at this time, Zhao Shilang in the house obviously realized something, and his face turned pale.
Then he reluctantly got up and came outside the house and asked Zhang Ying:
"Are you sure it's Jingyang Palace that caught fire?"
Zhang Ying nodded: "What am I lying about this kind of thing, I just don't know what happened to the princess." ”
Zhao Shilang sat thoughtfully on the side after receiving an affirmative answer, and the whole person looked very decadent.
In the evening, a notice was posted in the city, and everyone knew the cause of the fire in Jingyang Palace.
Princess Qingyang was pampered, unable to control her eyes, and acted recklessly, setting fire to the house dedicated to the Queen Mother, causing damage to the Queen Mother's spiritual position.
However, the princess refused to repent afterwards, and said that she was not wrong, and the emperor locked the princess in confinement in a fit of anger.
However, it was not long before a degrading decree became a sensation throughout the country.
Princess Qingyang was deposed as a concubine, and she will be pulled out of the palace in a few days and live elsewhere.
For a while, the ministers wrote to persuade His Majesty, but Chu Yun sent all the folds back as if he was determined.
Everyone rumored that Chu Yun knelt in front of the destroyed spiritual throne all night, and then deposed Princess Qingyang in grief.
And those who persuaded were also reprimanded and warned by Chu Yun, and no one dared to read the book for a while.
The most depressed during this period was Li Yong, Chu Yun annulled his marriage contract on the grounds that Chu Yurao was not the princess of Dongwu Kingdom.
Then he was rewarded with some gold and silver and sent it away, no matter how Li Yong wrote to the emperor, he just ignored it.
In the past two days, Di Xue also deliberately arranged for Zhang Ying to disclose these news to Zhao Shilang, and sure enough, he couldn't sit still.
took the initiative to see Di Xue, and the two got straight to the point after meeting.
Zhao Shilang also knew that Li Yong at this time was just the end of the crossbow.
So he told how he was instructed by Li Yong to do such a thing.
It turned out that he had been working diligently all these years.
In his spare time, he loved fishing, but his wife could not bear such a poor life, so she remarried him after she divorced.
However, his daughter Zhao Yufeng has become extremely sensitive and paranoid since the loss of her mother.
Especially after falling in love with Feng Shaoning, he was even more paranoid and unreasonable, and all kinds of behaviors made Zhao Shilang lose face in Yuanjing, and his promotion seemed hopeless.
However, Li Yong found him and said that as long as Feng Shangshu, who is now in the Ministry of Industry, enters his camp and has a handle on his side, then Zhao Shilang will not be prosperous in the Ministry of Industry in the future.
And as long as Feng Shangshu loses his value, he can replace Zhao Shilang at any time.
Zhao Shilang was moved, so he worked out a plan against Feng Shaoning with Li Yong.
But the unplanned factor Di Xue's appearance at the hunting scene led to the revelation of the matter.
However, after Di Xue handed over these materials to the emperor, a more urgent matter summoned her to go with Chu Ran.
The mission of the South Vietnamese Kingdom is in distress on the border of the Eastern Ochow Kingdom!
