The full harem escape game

Chapter 368 Staff
In the early morning of the next day, Concubine An disappeared again, and it really turned her Shuxi Palace upside down.

Fortunately, Xia Qingyang had anticipated this situation, and told Ming Zhu to notify Si Tao when she woke up, otherwise Si Tao would probably faint with worry this time.

"If I can't find Ben Gong in the future, it means that Ben Gong is with the Empress or Wan is often here. Don't worry, it's embarrassing."

Concubine An couldn't see her maidservant being so worthless, and she lectured while eating peanuts.

Si Tao wiped away her tears, it should be.

After getting along all day yesterday, Mingzhu is almost used to such a scene.She leaned close to Xia Qingyang's ear and whispered, "Ma'am, I had a strange dream last night."

"What dream."

Mingzhu bit her lips: "I dreamed that you had a private meeting with another man, in our Bi Ting Xuan..."

"This is not nonsense." Xia Qingyang was serious, "I will lose my head if I do this kind of thing, I dare not."

Mingzhu took a careful look at her, and muttered: "Why do I think that with the temperament of my mother, it is very possible to do this thing."

Xia Qingyang put his elbows on Mingzhu's body: "Look, even though he imprisoned so many concubines in the harem and made us widows, he is unkind, but I can't be unrighteous. It's not good to be cuckolded, right? .”

"Hey, speaking of this." As expected, Concubine An stretched out her long ears to listen to the conversation here.She poked her head full of gossip, "Do you know that Concubine Liu, why was she thrown into limbo?"

Mingzhu shook her head obediently: "I don't know."

Concubine An covered her mouth wanting to hide: "It's because she gave the emperor a cuckold! The most important thing is that she is pregnant. When she first found out, she proudly showed it off to us. After being found out, His Majesty was so angry If you want to kill her, if the queen mother is not afraid of insulting the royal reputation if the news spreads, she would have executed her long ago."

Xia Qingyang recalled Concubine Liu's appearance, and vaguely remembered that she was a beautiful and ambitious woman.

It stands to reason that Concubine Liu should have the confidence to conceal her pregnancy if she dared to speak out about her pregnancy with such great fanfare, so that people would think she was pregnant with a dragon heir.

Xia Qingyang thought of the bloody court dramas he had watched in this world.

Could it be that the emperor knew he couldn't do it, or that the emperor didn't want Concubine Liu to become pregnant, so he deliberately drugged her.

Hiss, it seems that so far, I have never heard of any concubine having given birth to a child for the emperor.

It seems that the former is more likely.

Oh, poor Ren Fu.I hope Empress Yin can find a way to cure him after she returns from practicing modern medical skills.

Si Tao: "Your maidservant, I heard that it was the Empress Dowager Nian Liu who was pregnant, which saved her from the death penalty and sent her to the cold palace."

Concubine An: "No matter what, since that woman had a miscarriage silently in the cold palace, no one cared about her anymore."

This is the end of the gossip theater after breakfast.

As a snack after dinner, Xia Qingyang and Concubine An didn't take the sedan chair, and planned to stroll to Queen Yin's place.

On the way, Xia Qingyang mentioned again that no one in the harem had given birth to a dragon heir.

Concubine An said: "It's not that Ren Fu has a physical problem. In fact, several concubines have been pregnant, but none of them were born, and they had a miscarriage."

Xia Qingyang nodded thoughtfully.

"But it's fortunate." Concubine An smiled, "Fortunately, you, me, and Sister Yin don't have children, otherwise we wouldn't be able to leave here peacefully."

Xia Qingyang and Concubine An strolled all the way to the Queen's Palace.

This early morning greeting hall has, unsurprisingly, become a "morning exercise" place for the concubines to compete for beauty——

It wasn't until Concubine An said, "What's the use of cross-eyed arguing here, because you can't even see the emperor's face", which extinguished everyone's fire, and then all the concubines dispersed in a sense of boredom. .

"Sister Xuan? What's the matter?" Xia Qingyang noticed that Empress Yin was in a daze very frequently this morning, especially after Concubine An broke out the golden sentence, Empress Yin frowned, as if she was about to cry.

Sure enough, after asking, I found out that yesterday afternoon, Empress Yin heard that the emperor had been with Ya Jieyu since returning to the palace, so she went to visit Ya Jieyu herself.

Who would have thought that when the master of the harem came out, he would not see the noble Empress Jieyu.

What was worse than Xia Qingyang and the others was that Xia Qingyang and the others at least saw Ren Fu's face, but Empress Yin stood outside the palace for a long time in a daze, but she didn't see Ren Fu.

The cruelest thing is a man's heart.

Empress Yin shook her head, forced a smile, and said that she was fine, and it was important to talk about business.

Xia Qingyang then dismissed all the servants, and told Queen Yin about her experience after leaving the palace yesterday and her analysis.

"That's how it is." Queen Yin heard about the robbery of military rations, and she was very regretful and lamented.

But obviously, unlike Concubine An, who was stupid and didn't know anything, Empress Yin was not particularly surprised by the plight of the people of Dachun Kingdom.

After all, she is the mother of a country, even if she does not participate in political affairs, she still knows more than ordinary concubines.

Xia Qingyang asked her if she knew anything.

"I don't think I know it very clearly." Empress Yin clutched the veil, "But once, Your Majesty had a staff member with great powers, who knew how to calculate heaven's secrets, and also understood the methods of witchcraft. In his Your Majesty has done a lot of things against the will of the people at your request."

Alright, here comes the key person.

This staff member is what the eldest princess said, the person who bewitched Ren Fu.

Empress Yin said again that before she married Ren Fu, that staff member was already by Ren Fu's side.

In other words, Ren Fu was still the prince at that time.

"When foreign enemies invaded, His Majesty and that staff member went to fight everywhere together. He won many battles and won the praise of the late emperor. At that time, His Majesty listened to the staff almost everything, even knowing when to eat and whether to go out that day. Let the staff take the lead first."

Concubine An clucked her tongue: "This is not a serious illness."

Xia Qingyang: "But it doesn't seem like there is such a person now?"

Empress Yin nodded: "Yes. Because when the first emperor was seriously ill, the Empress Dowager called Her Majesty to the front and said that if she wanted to inherit the throne, she had to send that staff member out of the country and never listen to him again. Only then did Your Majesty obey and send that people drive away."

Xia Qingyang frowned slightly.

Empress Yin sighed: "Facts later proved that this staff member did take advantage of his power, did a lot of things for personal gain, perverted the law, and enriched his own pockets. He almost emptied the treasury. It's just that His Majesty trusted him too much before, so that no one Dare to tell the truth. After His Majesty succeeded to the throne, many officials impeached that staffer one after another, and there is solid evidence."
