Chapter 52: The Demon Princess
Five years ago, Emperor Xia Liang was hunting in the lower mountains under the protection of the guards, and met a beautiful woman like a fairy, and fell in love at first sight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The woman claimed to be named Caili, and when she first saw the emperor, she showed a timid look, but unexpectedly, Emperor Xia Liang preferred her pitiful appearance exposed in fear, so she asked where her family lived.
Caili said that he was an orphan, fatherless and motherless, he was adopted by an old Taoist since he was a child, and today he was collecting medicine in this mountain, but he didn't expect to meet Emperor Xia Liang, and he was honestly afraid.
When Emperor Xia Liang heard that Caili was an orphan, he was overjoyed and said that he would take her as a concubine.
Caili was frightened when she heard this, and she was also a little happy. Thinking that after entering the Emperor's Palace, he would no longer have to live this hard life of collecting medicine in the mountains every day, so he casually agreed to Emperor Xia Liang.
Not long after, Emperor Xia Liang officially accepted a concubine. The officials of the court were all amazed when they saw the beautiful and fragrant appearance of the colored glass, and many people were obsessed with its beauty.
Especially that Zhang Lin, he was already lustful, and after seeing Caili, he thought about it and wanted to carry her to the bed immediately.
Caili won the favor of the emperor alone, and it was inevitable that he would be jealous of the three palaces and six courts, so the concubines jointly designed to frame Caili. However, what is amazing is that every time Caili is framed and faces a life-and-death crisis, she always finds the mastermind behind the scenes between her fate hanging, and she doesn't see any helpers.
Caili's behavior in the palace not only stunned the concubines, but also attracted the attention of the ministers of the court. The first ministers to bear the brunt were the prime minister Liu Wenbo, as well as Li An, the king of Wuliang, and Zhang Quanzhi, the king of Wenru.
This is also the first time that Zhang Quanzhi and Li An have agreed on the same opinion, and when he noticed the danger of Caili, he sent someone to secretly monitor what Caili did on weekdays.
After some secret investigation, it was learned that Caili seduced most of the officials in the DPRK and the famous rich armor and Jianghu people in Yanliang City, and his behavior was chaotic, and he secretly captured some handsome male pets, and even castrated extremely handsome men, and after castration, they dressed them as women, shared the bed with them, and lost their humanity.
Prime Minister Liu Wenbo, King Li An of Wuliang, and King of Wenru Zhang Quanzhi were the most official and authoritative courtiers in the imperial court. When the three of them learned about this, they were extremely angry, and they jointly exposed the evil deeds of the colored glass demon concubine.
Emperor Xia Liang was most furious when he learned about this, because the person he trusted the most was Zhang Quanzhi. Now even Zhang Quanzhidu exposes Caili's evil deeds, there will be no fake. Therefore, Emperor Xia Liang also sent his cronies to investigate, and learned that Caili had an affair with most of the officials or officials' families in the court, and it was also true that he forcibly accepted male favors. In the past, some concubines jointly designed to frame Caili again and again, and Caili was able to get out of danger every time and was able to find evidence to prove that she was framed, just because of the help of the ministers who were involved by her.
A woman can be so deceptive, she is really a demon. Emperor Xia Liang was furious and wanted to ask the colored glass immediately. But suddenly found that Caili was missing.
Because this matter is too shameful and has a lot of implications. Emperor Xia Liang only killed a few courtiers with small official positions to make an example of chickens and monkeys, and issued a gag order in the court, not allowing the matter to be publicized, and those who violated it were immediately beheaded.
Although Emperor Xia Liang deliberately concealed this matter, he never stopped sending people to track down Caili. It wasn't until three months after the incident that Caili finally appeared in Yanliang City, and used thunderous means to carry out crazy revenge, killing many people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wenru Wangfu and Wuliang Palace, and even Emperor Xia Liang was almost stabbed.
Fortunately, Caili did not succeed in the assassination, but Emperor Xia Liang did not catch her. That time, Caili left in front of the eyes of the Manchu civil and military people, and said that as long as she was there for a day, Xia Zeguo would not be at peace.
After the colored glass disappeared again, it never reappeared, and there were hundreds of murders in Yanliang City and the counties around Yanliang City that year, but they all became headless unsolved cases.
"Even today, Emperor Xia Liang has not stopped chasing and killing the colored glass demon concubine. ā
Liu Wenbo told Qiu Yunqing about this matter in detail, and Qiu Yunqing pondered after listening to it: "This colorful glass has changed from a weak woman to a ruthless demon concubine, and the process of personality change is too fast. And her methods are also very extreme, there are too many doubts in this. I don't think she could have done so many amazing things on her own, there must have been someone else behind it. ā
"Actually, there is a little secret about the identity of the colored glass demon concubine, I didn't say it just now. Liu Wenbo said in a deep voice, his expression was a little complicated, and he seemed reluctant to mention the matter.
"What secret?" Qiu Yun wondered.
Liu Wenbo sighed lightly, thought about it, and finally said the matter: "Although Caili has not been caught until now, the person sent out by Emperor Xia Liang to find it found the old Taoist priest who adopted Caili. According to the old Taoist priest, Caili was originally a man's body, and his original name was Zhongli, because he had always been obsessed with his appearance and thought that he should not be a man's body, so he castrated himself. When the old Taoist priest learned of this, he drove the colored glass out. ā
Qiu Yun was dumbfounded after hearing this, he couldn't imagine that there were such strange people in this world.
Liu Wenbo stared at Qiu Yunqing's eyes, and said with a serious face: "Young man, this Caili's identity is more sensitive than her collusion with the ministers of the imperial court, you must not tell this matter." Even Li Yanliang didn't know about it. If you reveal this, if Emperor Xia Liang knows that I told you about it, he will immediately cut off my head. I only told you this when I saw that you were pitiful. The serial headless murders that occurred that year must be related to Caili. ā
Qiu Yunqing immediately stood up when he heard this, and solemnly swore: "I, Qiu Yunqing, swear that I will never tell anyone about this, and if I disobey, I will not die!"
Liu Wenbo smiled, pointed at Qiu Yunqing to let him sit down, and said to him, "The reason why I helped you is not only because I pity you, but also for another reason. ā
"Another reason?" Qiu Yun was puzzled.
Liu Wenbo said: "Because you dare to have a relationship with my son Liu Yong, the people in this Yanliang City know that my son is eager to kill the whole family of King Wenru, and they all hide far away when they see him." In the past, only Li Yanliang dared to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him, but now there is another Qiu Yunqing. I was thinking, this Qiu Yunqing must have extraordinary ability and too high talent, if it is used by my Prime Minister's Mansion, it will be even better. ā
"Prime Minister, I'm afraid Yun Qing is going to disappoint you. Even if I live in Wuliang Palace, I, Qiu Yunqing, am not a descendant of Wuliang Palace. That's because His Royal Highness is my friend. Liu Gongzi is the same, because he is my friend, if there is a need in the future, I will do my best to help him, but I will not befriend the powerful with the attitude of a flatterer, not now, and resolutely not in the future!"
Looking at Qiu Yunqing's indignant look, Liu Wenbo chuckled and said, "It seems that my words have triggered your rebellion." I appreciate your ambition, but ambition is just ambition, in the face of absolute power and absolute power, you have to bow your head, this is the reality!"
Qiu Yun was speechless, in fact, he had already bowed to reality now. Because he is already a puppet of the old blind man, what right does he have to say such ridiculous rhetoric?
