When her husband entered the palace and her daughter did not return overnight, the Duchess of Dingguo was really worried and easily heard the news of her daughter's return to the palace, and the servant who delivered the letter reminded her with a small heart: "The girl's face does not look very good, and the maids who had been married to the girl before have also been punished, and two of them ......have disappeared directly."

Just a few words are enough to give a glimpse of the dangers of today's events.

The Duchess of Dingguo answered, and immediately ordered: "Reward the family members of those maids, and send them over with two hundred taels of silver each, and let them go directly if they want to redeem themselves." ”

When I saw my daughter with a pale face and staggering again, she burst into tears: "My son, what the hell is going on?!" ”

Ning first kept vigil all night, then was seriously injured, and survived the interrogation of the Son of Heaven and the palace banquet with a strong smile, and when he returned home, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief with peace of mind, just as he had returned to the port with a sailboat.

But she couldn't sleep yet.

Signaling the mother to send the servants and maids, she told the truth about this incident, and the Duchess of Dingguo knew that her daughter's trip must be dangerous, but she didn't know that it was dangerous to become such a situation - not to say that it was her daughter, it was her own family, and she also walked around the ghost gate!

If it weren't for this child's bright eyes and bright heart, the Dingguo Mansion, as the wife of King Wu, would have ended up well!

I heard that the reason why King Wu went out of Beijing was actually for an outer room, and the Duchess of Dingguo almost wanted to scold - what is it!

It was not until the evening that Dingguo Gong returned home from duty, and Ning inevitably had to tell his father again what had happened, but in addition to this, he added one more sentence: "In the past, I thought that the emperor and grandson of the East Palace were young and frail. ”

Dingguo Gong stroked his beard with a solemn expression.

This time, the Dingguo Mansion has to inherit the favor of the East Palace, and even the kings have to inherit the favor of the East Palace.

If it weren't for the Chengning County Lord's allocation, the daughter might not be able to survive, and the family might not be implicated, as for the kings, they would also have to owe the Chengning County Lord to be long-sleeved and good at dancing, and the eight-sided exquisite, otherwise, who knows if the Son of Heaven will burn this fire on them?

King Yan and King Chu were eliminated together in the first round of competition, and in this round they eliminated King Xin and King Wu at the same time......

Several important contenders for the throne have been eliminated one after another, and the option of the Emperor Sun of the East Palace, which seemed unlikely before, seems to have become possible?

It's just that it's too rushed, but I can take this opportunity to thank the county lord of Chengning.

Ding Guogong quickly made up his mind, gently caressed his daughter for a few words, and then left, but was stopped by his daughter again.

After steaming for so long, the Ning clan did not have much strength left, but he still held on and said: "Over the years, my father, as the patriarch, has presided over the affairs of the Ning clan at home, and served the Son of Heaven in the court, which is really hard......"

She has always known the majesty of the Son of Heaven, but in the past, even if she was a princess, she only met from afar during the New Year's holidays.

And her father has served such a monarch for decades without mistakes, and the pressure he has endured is beyond her imagination!

Ding Guogong was stunned at first, then reached out again, touched her head lovingly, just like she had when she was young: "Grown up." This time, I was probably scared too. ”

And he said, "O man today, the word is merciless but merciful......

Ning Shi Rao was extremely sleepy after taking the medicine, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard the words: "The Tao is ruthless but affectionate, it's really thanks to you for saying it!" ”

Ding Guogong smiled faintly, but didn't say much, and gently patted his daughter's shoulder: "Sleep, Daddy will do the rest." ”

……

The Son of Heaven killed two sons in one day, and as soon as the news came out, it was not said that it was in the court, and even the entire Jingshi was shaken!

Although two princes had died before, and even the chaos caused by the king of Chu was far greater than that of the king of Xin, the shock it brought to the world was not the same as this time.

The two princes, Xin and Wu, were both killed by the order of the Son of Heaven himself!

Tiger poison does not eat children, today's ......

King Wu's biological mother has passed away, but he will not be implicated, and as for his mother's Qi State Mansion, that will be a matter of later.

After being woken up by the palace maid, she held back her grief and went to Nansong Pavilion to take off the hairpin and treat her guilt, and she reported that her son was not good and had several major sins, such as being a bad teacher and having a negative king.

She has only one son, King Xin, and now that King Xin has died unexpectedly, and in such a tragic way, how can she not hate?

However, King Xin is dead, Princess Xin is still there, the prince and several royal grandchildren are still there, and Concubine Hui cannot neglect the living for the sake of those who have died, and as a woman who has lost her only child, she is not even qualified to commit suicide.

When she dies, the Son of Heaven will feel that she has a grudge against him, and when the time comes, the princess and the princess and the emperor's grandchildren will be in a bad situation, but I am afraid that it will be even worse!

Outside the court, Liu Che, the old Deng, made a reliable speculation about the behavior of the old Deng in the palace: "People will excuse themselves, especially Lao Deng, who is extraordinarily lenient and strict with others." ”

Sons with bad intentions?

I'm so busy on weekdays, how can I have time to take care of him, it's not that your biological mother didn't teach him well?!

Hairpins to be punished?

Count you as acquaintances!

If you want to be a qualified veteran, the most important quality is skepticism.

What if a woman who had been ordered by me to kill her only son, and who was in a high position, would one day go crazy and want to die with me?

I'd better strip you of your title and let you live in a place I can't see!

Those who have been punished by the Son of Heaven will never be able to serve by the Son of Heaven again, and who knows if you have any resentment!

Liu Che's guess was quite accurate.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Son of Heaven abolished Concubine Hui as a concubine and ordered her to move to live in the palace, and at the same time, he officially ordered the abolition of King Xin and King Wu as concubines, except for their titles.

The prince of King Xin was renamed the Duke of Xinguo, and the rest of the sons were uncles, and his grace was beheaded for two generations, and the King of Wu had no children, so he did not care, and because of his sympathy for the love of the Duke of Dingguo, he specially allowed the former Princess Ning of Wu to remarry.

Dingguo Gong expressed his gratitude, and the former Wu princess Ning also accompanied the above: "The courtiers are blessed, and they must not honor Your Majesty for their daughters-in-law, the Wu Shu people are deeply sinful, and there is no redemption for a hundred deaths, and the courtiers used to be their wives, and they also have the responsibility of negligence and failure to assist, and they are willing to go to the Yuquan Temple to bring them out of the house, atone for their sins, and pray for Your Majesty." ”

After reading this recital, the Son of Heaven sighed for a long time, and then asked people to go to the Dingguo Mansion to persuade him, but Ning's attitude was very resolute.

In the end, the Son of Heaven had no choice but to comply with her wishes, and only instructed Zongzheng Temple that if the Ning family had not remarried, he would be able to enjoy the prince's concubine's fortune and grace one day.

……

Liu Che was outside the palace, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw that King Wu, the former male protagonist, was being taken care of by the Son of Heaven every minute.

The rest of the people in the space talked to him one after another: "Don't you go back?" Or continue to fake your death? ”

Liu Che sighed again: "The matter of fake death is originally ambiguous, but the situation has reached such a situation, I'm afraid that it won't work if you don't fake your death!" ”

The emperors in the space grinned and sneered: "The medicine is ruthless, but the effect is effective, but it scares you, right?" ”

Ying Niang came to ask, and Liu Che responded in the same way.

Ying Niang was a little surprised: "Chunlang, you decided to fake your death that day to take refuge because the court situation is not conducive to us, now the king of Yan and Chu are dead, the king of Xin and the king of Wu have also died, although the rest of the kings are also older, but in the end they are not as strong as these four, you have a righteous name, and then you have the help of outsiders......

Liu Che explained to her softly: "That's why I want to fake my death!" ”

Liu Che, as a former old Deng, speculated about a current old Deng, of course, it was a guess and an accurate.

For example, as soon as he finished reading the content on the white silk, he knew that King Wu was definitely going to be bad.

But he is a man, not a god, and obviously there will be places that cannot be guessed.

For example, Lao Deng would kill the king of Wu by killing him with a rod.

For example, Lao Deng was clearly aware of the role that King Shin played in this.

For example, Lao Deng ordered King Xin to be executed even before he killed King Wu!

The first example shows that the Son of Heaven is ruthless, far better than he used to be.

Liu Che wiped his saliva, and thought sourly in his heart: Hey, who calls people have a lot of children!

The second example shows that the Sons of Heaven in this world are very different from the papier-mâché emperors in the world they experienced in the past.

He is very perceptive, but also very fierce, as the Son of Heaven, he can make countless mistakes, but as a prince and grandson, he can only make mistakes once!

And the wrong price is death!

The third example, it is the direct cause that led Liu Che to fake his death and get out - the Son of Heaven hates those who use him more than those who violate the ancestral system and the law!

As far as the laws of this dynasty are concerned, the guilt of King Xin is actually not as great as that of King Wu, who directly violated the ancestral system and left Beijing.

However, in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, King Wu left Beijing without authorization, violating the law, and King Xin intended to use him as a knife to attack King Wu, but it was he, the Son of Heaven, who really took advantage of disobedience, so King Xin deserved to die even more than King Wu!

First the kings of Chu and Yan, then the kings of Wu and Xin, the most powerful contenders for the throne have all died, and the emperor and grandson of the East Palace have come to the fore.

Liu Che did it secretly, and the county lord of Chengning only said a few words, and the East Palace was very well prepared, but the Son of Heaven didn't need to get to the bottom of it, he just needed to look at the results - after this case, who got the most benefits?

East Palace!

Even Liu Che himself did not dare to rashly face an elderly version of Liu Che.

Moody, authoritative, sharp enough, and cruel enough......

In the face of such an enemy, don't think about confronting him head-on, run as soon as you can!

Liu Che was still hesitating, but at this time he had completely finalized his mind, fortunately, he had already expected to be prepared, but he didn't panic at this time, just asked Ying Niang to come closer, and said in a low voice: "There is one thing, I have to bother my sister to do it, we are in prison, but do you still have eyeliner?" ”

Ying Niang was slightly stunned when she heard this, and her expression became solemn: "What do you want to do?" ”

Liu Che said: "I won't let him take risks, I'm just ......"

He smiled slightly: "I want to borrow his ears." ”

……

King Xin died, and so did King Wu.

The dead are no longer eligible to be remembered.

In particular, King Wu had no children at this time.

No, you can't say that, he actually has children.

Didn't that outer chamber give birth to a son for him?

Although King Wu previously confessed that he was leaving Beijing to visit the mother and son, even if everyone doubted the truth of what he said, the son was always true, right?

It's just that......

Even King Wu was personally ordered by the Son of Heaven to be killed, King Wu's mother, Concubine De, had already passed away, and the mother's Qi Mansion was in danger, so who would have the leisure to care about that child.

Except for the Son of Heaven .

……

"The minister was ordered to go out of Beijing and found the family, and after several investigations, he found that there was something strange about them."

The commander of the internal guard knelt on the ground and replied: "That woman, surnamed Su, did rescue Wu Shu in the mountains last year, and since then she has been in love for a long time, and with the support of her family, she married her and gave birth to a son." Later, the people who came to Wu Wangfu looked for it, and the Wu Shu people returned to Beijing, but this Su family encouraged the Su family to hoard a large number of special medicinal materials, and it didn't take long for an epidemic to break out in the vicinity, and the Su family made a windfall......

The Son of Heaven closed his eyes and looked faint: "The source of this epidemic has something to do with the people of Wushu?" ”

The head of the internal guard shook his head: "There shouldn't be." ”

The Son of Heaven asked again: "So, does it have anything to do with the Su family?" ”

The commander of the internal guard hesitated for a few moments and shook his head again: "There shouldn't be." ”

The Son of Heaven opened his eyes, turned the wrist bead in his hand, and said with a smile: "Could it be the unpredictable prophet of the Su family?" ”
