The old prince of Sui entered the palace and was personally received by the emperor. On that day, someone was left to live in the palace, and the two monarchs and ministers seemed to have a long talk. The Sui family naturally can't mention business as soon as they enter the palace, how difficult it is, and naturally they have to reminisce about the past.

Before he could persuade the emperor to restore Xiao Yanxing's identity, an incident broke out in the palace first.

Qin Liansheng, a celebrity in front of the emperor and the chief eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office, was born in the Ye Court and was not surnamed Qin in his early years. Rather, the surname Ye. His real name is Ye Pei. Ye Huiqiong, the concubine who has been favored by the harem for many years, is a leaf of a mother's compatriots.

Just this one thing completely blew up the calm harem.

Chapter One Hundred and Nine

Ye Guifei and Qin Liansheng are sisters and brothers, which is no less than a boulder thrown into a deep pool, splashing a thousand waves.

You must know that Ye Huiqiong was not favored from the beginning. She is from a very low background, and her appearance and figure are not even as good as the ordinary maids in the palace. If it weren't for the good luck at the beginning, he accidentally picked up the emperor who was recruited at the spring banquet, and Chunfeng was pregnant for a while. Even if she survives until death in this life, she will not be able to escape from the court. But even if she was pregnant, the emperor who was still the seventh prince did not plan to take her out of the court, she was the first queen she begged for. The first queen took pity on her for a moment and got her out of the court.

Because of her appearance, she became the first thorn in the hearts of the emperor and empress. At that time, the emperor hated Ye Huiqiong and the child in her belly. The emperor was so stingy that he didn't even want to give her the identity of a concubine.

It was the queen who gave her a serious identity for the sake of her pregnancy.

At that time, everyone was wondering how Ye Huiqiong managed to make the emperor change his mind and only love her.

Now everyone understands.

Ye Huiqiong has someone by the emperor's side. A man who was close to him day and night, and who could actually speak in the emperor's ear. can find out the emperor's daily thoughts, can know all the emperor's troubles and taboos, and can accurately grasp the emperor's whereabouts and mood...... If they can have such a useful person, where will they be just a concubine? It is no wonder that the emperor and empress will eventually come to the point where they will never see each other again in this life.

With Ye Huiqiong's jealousy of the former queen, the couple she didn't provoke fell apart, and she didn't have the surname Ye!

Whether it was the old palace concubines or the new people who entered the palace, they were all shocked by this news. Concubine Xian and Concubine De were the first to react. The first thing that came to mind was to go to the emperor and apply eye medicine.

They have been with the emperor for more than 20 years, and they know the emperor's temperament very well. His Majesty's most disgusting thing is that the harem woman's hand is stretched too long, and Ye Huiqiong is really bold. Directly next to the emperor, a secret stake was planted that knew the emperor well.

"Oh my God, this time Ye Huiqiong is dead, right?"

Concubine Xian has no children, no daughters, no favors, and she doesn't even have much money. When she got older, she had a hobby of watching the excitement, and she rushed to the front to see what waves were turning in the harem, "This dark pile is buried so deeply, Your Majesty dreams back at midnight, will you wake up in a cold sweat?" If this Ye Huiqiong thinks that His Majesty is blocking the prince's way one day, will she instruct Qin Liansheng to ...... a glass of wine?"

She didn't dare to say the next words, saying too much about the walls and ears. But her eyes were full of such excitement in watching the show.

Concubine De's means of falling into the well are much more ruthless. She directly ordered people to spread some specious rumors inside and outside the palace. For a while, there was a lot of discussion inside and outside the palace. They all know that the prince has been in frequent contact with Qin Liansheng recently, and it seems that he is plotting something big.

What big things can the prince plot? He has already sat on the throne of the prince, how many people in the world can threaten him?

In fact, the rumors spread by Concubine De are not all lies. The matter of the prince's restoration of his identity in front of the court made a huge noise, and the emperor was angry about this matter twice in three days. The harem naturally knows it. Who is the biggest threat to the return of the abolished prince, it is naturally the current prince Xiao Chenghuan. If Xiao Chenghuan was a well-known gentleman, or if he handled the first case beautifully, he would naturally not be so panicked.

But he has a narrow-minded temperament and is short-sighted. He actually made a fatal mistake in the big matter that the emperor intended to gild him. didn't understand the emperor's intentions, and relied on this matter to gain a firm foothold, but he also thought about the disaster relief funds by himself.

Now I regret it, and it's too late. The people of the world looked at the evil he had done, and everyone in the world knew that he was useless.

But he finally climbed to the position of the crown prince, and seeing that he was one step away from ruling the world, it was impossible to let him return to his original position. Xiao Chenghuan is dead, and Xiao Yanxing will not be allowed to come back!

He did everything he could. As for the merits of being able to follow the courtiers, he did not. He did not have the knowledge and virtue to convince people. The only thing he has is a mother who can help him with the aftermath anytime and anywhere, and the emperor's father-son affection for him.

Xiao Chenghuan can only grasp these two advantages now, and keep wandering around in front of the emperor in order to win the emperor's favor and love for him. and from time to time let his mother help him make moves, and accurately show a posture of changing his mind. so that the father and the courtiers can see that they are soft-hearted. As long as his father firmly defends him, Xiao Yanxing will not be able to squeeze him away.

But that alone is not reassuring. Only this advantage can't stop Xiao Yanxing's return. Xiao Chenghuan understood that if he wanted to fundamentally eliminate the possibility of being replaced by Xiao Yanxing, he would be prevented from returning to the capital.

And it just so happened that the emperor's heart didn't want to see Xiao Yanxing come back. That's the key to his success!

In order to prevent Xiao Yanxing from returning to his original position, Xiao Chenghuan has indeed entered the palace frequently recently, frequently met with Qin Liansheng, and talked in detail in private.

In fact, the two have been very close since many years ago. After all, Xiao Chenghuan grew up beside the emperor, so he naturally had more contact with Qin Liansheng. They would often get together in one place to talk in private, and no one else would have felt inappropriate in the past. But now that Qin Liansheng's identity has been revealed, all this has become ill-intentioned.

During this period of time, not only the group of people in the DPRK and China were playing, but all forces joined forces in an attempt to persuade people to persuade the emperor to compromise. Ye Huiqiong is also trying to play the emotional card. It's not about playing the emotional card of the past 20 years of love between the two. Ye Huiqiong knows that men are all lustful and lovely, no matter how much she has been favored in the past, she has nothing left as soon as she is old and ugly.

And the only emotional card she can use is the emperor's resentment towards the former empress.

The emperor resents the first queen, which is also strange to say, the cause and fuse are Ye Huiqiong.

The emperor and the former empress were originally a loving and harmonious couple. Because of her accident at the spring banquet, there was a crack in the relationship between the two. Later, Ye Huiqiong found out that she was pregnant, realized that her opportunity had come, and tried to deliver the news to the Seven Princes' Mansion several times. was ignored by the emperor, who was the seventh prince at the time, but it alarmed the first empress, and the crack between the two became estranged.

The inside story of this, the old things, no one knows better than Ye Huiqiong. Because it's all that she did with her own hands.

It is precisely because she understands too well that she hates the former queen who repeatedly helped her. This kind of clear distinction of repaying grievances with virtue and not caring about weak women makes her feel that she is despicable and dirty in her bones. This despicable cognition has continued to haunt Ye Huiqiong for many years, and the first queen will remember it. Like maggots to the bone, you can't get rid of them.

The emperor resented the former empress's principled and benevolent to the weak. If she hadn't stopped him from dealing with Ye Huiqiong, they wouldn't have come that far. The resentful queen gave up on him first and gave up the relationship between them.

But the emperor has always understood in his heart that the root cause of that result was his own stupidity. If he hadn't fallen for it, how could he have the stain of Ye Huiqiong? If he wasn't vigilant enough, how could he let a criminal slave of the court get pregnant and hide until he was about to give birth! A mistake for a moment and a mistake for a lifetime, like this, a thoughtful person like Han Lingsu would never make it.

She was always calm and intelligent, always doing the right thing.

Obviously, Han Lingsu can be selfish and cold-blooded, and he can be less noble. As long as he pretends not to know and allows him to erase the stain, everything will be the same as before. But Han Ling had to intervene, and stood on Ye Huiqiong's side. Because he was too resentful, the emperor couldn't wait to let Han Lingsu know. Is the woman she saved worth saving! Is it worth it for her to give up on him!

Ye Huiqiong's favor originated from a deliberate revenge with anger and anger pouring up on her head.

It's a joke, a huge humiliation for any self-respecting woman.

Ye Huiqiong knew, so she was resentful.

But she didn't resent the emperor. This is her husband, her future dependence, and of course she can't be resentful. She only resented Han Lingsu, who made her conscience uneasy. In fact, not only was the emperor reluctant to mention Han Lingsu, but Ye Huiqiong was also reluctant to mention her. It seems that when it comes to that high-ranking woman, no matter how gorgeous the clothes she wears and how much jewelry she wears, she can't compare to a finger of her.

Ye Huiqiong endured the discomfort and arranged a scene for the emperor at the palace banquet of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The same thing, the same character relationship, she deliberately repeats everything in the past.

I have to say that Ye Huiqiong has no great wisdom, but her ability to grasp people's hearts is unmatched. Others could only see the emperor's resentment towards the Han family, thinking that it was a high achievement. But I don't know why the emperor is so disgusted with the Han family and Han Lingsu's concubine in the middle palace, and he is unwilling to let him live after being defeated in the Han family. But she can accurately grasp the emperor's mind.

It is precisely because I love it too much that I hate it too much. Hate until you can't see it, and you can rest assured when you're completely dead.

Through this scene, she told the emperor that once Xiao Yanxing came back, she would always remind the emperor that she was thrown away by Han Lingsu. Because Han Lingsu completely cut off the void and grievance between him and the emperor after the birth of the emperor's eldest son.

Xiao Yanxing is like a wake-up bell, and when he sees it, he will be depressed and uncomfortable.

I have to say that Ye Huiqiong's move is ruthless and vicious, and it hits the nail on the head. If she hadn't come up with such dirty methods, Xiao Yanxing would have been able to return to the capital without marrying the Sui family. It was precisely because she was so good at grasping the emperor's mind that the emperor resisted the joint performance of the courtiers and did not back down. Unless Xiao Yanxing raises troops, he can only use human means to advance this matter peacefully.

Of course, Xiao Yanxing is capable of raising troops. He was Han Xiu's grandson, and he had the ability to go to battle. The Northwest garrison on the surface and the only recognized master of the Han army in the dark. The combat power is hidden in the shadows, and if he raises an army, he will be able to capture it.

But it is the people of the world who are most hurt by the army. If there is no way out, Xiao Yanxing will not raise troops for this purpose.

However, Ye Huiqiong has her own set of means, and Xiao Yanxing will naturally not lie down and let her handle it. She can grasp the emperor's subtle thoughts, and Xiao Yanxing can also grasp the emperor's suspicious temperament.

Ye Huiqiong made him the emperor's nightmare, and Xiao Yanxing could also make everything about Ye Huiqiong come to naught.

The relationship between Ye Huiqiong and Qin Liansheng is well hidden, and it is just right to take it out at this time.

Xiao Yanxing has always been like this, if he doesn't make a move, he will hit the lifeline directly.

Sure enough, when such an inside story was exposed, all the feelings in the emperor's heart for Ye Huiqiong changed. He was furious and disgusted. In the past, the love for Ye Huiqiong's children has also been discounted, and it has become like a fish in the throat. It was useless for even the little princess who grew up in his lap to intercede. The crown prince and the two princes knelt outside for two days and two nights, and the emperor still did not relent.

Just as everyone had guessed, the emperor felt a chill down his spine the moment he discovered this relationship. The first thing he thought of was that if Ye Huiqiong wanted him to die, Qin Liansheng would have countless opportunities to do it.

For the first time, the emperor realized that if he had revealed the abolition of the crown prince Xiao Chenghuan, his life would have been in the hands of Ye Huiqiong's mother and son.

No wonder he thinks so, in the royal family, such a thing as killing his father is commonplace.

Therefore, the emperor is also very ruthless, and he will not be merciful to anyone who has threatened his life. The emperor deprived Ye Huiqiong of her position as a concubine and entered the cold palace. Qin Liansheng was drowned in the water tank, and he was not given the slightest opportunity to intercede. As for the crown prince Xiao Chenghuan, although he did not order the abolition of the crown prince, he no longer stopped the various acts of the courtiers to impeach the prince......

As for the two princes who are not very old, although the emperor was not implicated, he made people stop them.

“…… How did you find out? Ye Huiqiong didn't expect that what she had hidden so deeply would be dug up by a newcomer like Lu Li. Her hair was messily draped behind her back, and her cloudy eyes were yellow, and she really looked like an old woman outside.

"You don't care how this palace finds out."

Lu Li sat on the rose square chair and looked condescendingly at Ye Huiqiong who was kneeling on the ground. She actually didn't understand why a person like Ye Huiqiong could achieve such a high position. Is it really born by giving birth?

Yes, Ye Huiqiong has four children. No, it should be said that Ye Huiqiong has four children alive, and it is estimated that there are more than those who have not been born. In other words, in these short twenty years, Ye Huiqiong has been constantly pregnant and giving birth. No wonder it will age so quickly, "Guifei Niangniang, Ye Guifei, you have the honor you have now, three princes and one princess, why are you always not satisfied?" ”

Although Lu Li gradually became obsessed with this kind of taste of seeing the mountains at a glance, she felt that it was enough to go to Ye Huiqiong's point. There is no need to climb up desperately, Ye Huiqiong is really too greedy.

How could Ye Huiqiong tell Lu Li this? What is the ambition of the bird?

She sneered coldly, "You won't be complacent for long." ”

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders, not caring how long he could be proud. She has been able to get to this position now, and she has reached the top of her life's luck. The emperor will not sit in that position for too long, and when the one from Liangzhou comes back, he will have to give way sooner or later. She's the best now. is the one who will liquidate everyone in the future, she has no children, no daughters, no old things, and maybe she can have a good old age.

"Concubine Ling, do you think Your Majesty really loves you? Do you think you can really hold him with your five-point similar skin? Ye Huiqiong got up and walked towards Lu Li with other steps. But he only took one step before he was stopped.

Anger flashed on Ye Huiqiong's face, but she couldn't do anything about them.

With a cold snort, she said again: "Your Majesty is not such a foolish person. How many of the people who sat on the throne by fighting are fools? Don't think that he doesn't know about your little tricks, he knows it very well in his heart. The reason why you are silent is that you are not in his eyes. A fake is a fake after all, never try to compete with the original......"

Before she finished speaking, she was slapped in the face by Lu Li's palace maid.

Lu Li's face was covered with a layer of ice, and although she didn't speak, the faces of the palace people behind her showed annoyance. Of course Lu Li knows this, she doesn't care at all! As long as she has it in her hand and pinched it in the palm of her hand, it is a real benefit!

"You don't have to worry about it! You'd better mind your own business! ”

Lu Li originally came to Ye Huiqiong for Han Lingsu, and she wanted to know everything about Queen Han. However, Ye Huiqiong didn't seem to tell her at all: "You are no longer a concubine, what are you still arrogant?" Don't you think your kids can get you out? Stop dreaming! ”

Ye Huiqiong glared at Lu Li coldly and spat out a mouthful of phlegm.

I don't know how she vomited so accurately, and the phlegm just fell on Lu Li's skirt. Lu Li's evil breath rushed straight to the top of his head, "Come on, give me a hard beating!" ”

Lu Li taught Ye Huiqiong a lesson in the cold palace, and the people outside heard it clearly. As long as they don't kill anyone, they will never care.

entered the cold palace, no matter if you were once a queen, a concubine or who, your life is thinner than the ants on the ground. This Ye family still has four children outside, although the emperor is disgusted with them, but he can't cut off the blood. These children are different from the abolished prince, they can be regarded as the emperor grew up with his own eyes. No matter how much they hate their mother, the father-son relationship cultivated since childhood is not fake.

The child is still there, and Ye's has a hole card to save his life.

Lu Li taught Ye Huiqiong a lesson, and the old man of the Sui family also pinched the opportunity to mention the words of restoring the identity of the abolished prince.

The old prince of Sui chose the best time to mention it, and the old man Sui is well versed in the art of language. From the perspective of considering the emperor and maintaining the national capital of Daqing, it became less difficult to accept the restoration of Xiao Yanxing's identity. After all, compared with Xiao Chenghuan, Xiao Yanxing is much more worry-free and trouble-free. And letting the courtiers continue to participate in this way will indeed affect the stability of the capital.

It only took half a month from the old man Sui entering Beijing to the emperor agreeing to restore Xiao Yanxing's status as the concubine of the middle palace.

All the emperor can agree to is the identity of the concubine of the middle palace, and the position of the crown prince is absolutely impossible. Since the crown prince has been abolished, it is impossible to establish it again. As for the current crown prince Xiao Chenghuan, the emperor wrote an edict of dethronement early. Suffering from the previous defense of the current crown prince was too resolute, it is not good to suddenly agree to dethrone now. Just wait for a while before making a final decision.

Not to mention that the edict to restore Xiao Yanxing's status as the concubine of the middle palace has just been issued, and the news has arrived in Liangzhou Mansion. The government here is bound to return all the property confiscated from Xiao Yanxing.

Not only must the original mansion, family property, and slaves be returned, but also compensation for the misjudgment of the imperial court must be delegated.

Generally speaking, the Daqing Decree stipulates that the confiscation of family property by the local government is to fall into the treasury of the government. Xiao Yanxing's identity is special, and the objects he uses are rare things that are exclusively used by the royal family and will never dare to circulate outside. Most of the confiscated family property was transported to Beijing, and a small amount was swallowed by the local government.

Of course, there are many of them who have taken the sheep by the hands of the officers and soldiers, but it will be a long time to talk about these things when they are recovered. But in any case, what is to be returned must be returned. Otherwise, a person who steals and hides the private property of the emperor's eldest son will also be guilty of death.

The mansion in Liangzhou was the first to be returned.

After all, who would dare to live in the Prince's Mansion? Since it was first sealed, no one has lived in it. As for the mansion in Lin'an County, it was swallowed by the county order of Lin'an County. Later, it was transferred to her daughter as a dowry by the county order, and now Liu and her later husband live there. This house wanted to be returned, but it almost didn't scare Liu County's order, and the first Buddha ascended to heaven and the second Buddha was born, and he pouted on the spot.

He dared to rush to Xiao's house to make trouble, dared to remarry his daughter who was once the prince's concubine, and secretly stumbled Xiao Yanxing, just under the idea that Xiao Yanxing would never be able to turn over. Now that I suddenly heard that he had resumed his identity as the concubine of the Middle Palace, wasn't it fatal?

Liu County ordered someone to drive his daughter and son-in-law out of the house on the same day, and personally rushed to the door of Xiao's house in today's Lihua Alley to confess.

kept kowtowing and begging Xiao Yanxing to spare his life.

Where does Xiao Yanxing have time to pay attention to small fish and shrimp like him at this time?
