one step closer to the end

There was a depressing exclamation from the palace. Dozens of concubines knelt in the main hall, and all the high-ranking concubines sat on both sides. The phoenix robe sat in the center with full posture.

"Yo~ The crown princess is so majestic, is she impatient to be a queen..."

Zhao Guanren took Concubine Jingde's hand and stepped into the main hall. The two imperial concubines immediately bowed their heads and drank tea. The appearance of a subjugated country.

"A country cannot be without a king for a day. The day of the late emperor's great funeral is the time when the crown prince ascends the throne..."

The crown princess said solemnly: "As the crown princess, I am the queen. Besides, the queen has passed away. I am in charge of the harem. It is not arrogance, but Zhao Wang led the late emperor's concubine into the palace. What is the intention?"

"Don't you say she has no heirs, she will give me one..."

Zhao Guanren walked to the seat of honor and sat down, lit a cigarette and laughed arrogantly: "Everyone knows! In Shunguo, I was always served by a harem lady. Anyway, the emperor of your family has collapsed, and the widow in this house is fine." It's a waste, I can get it cheap!"

"Humph~"

The Crown Princess slapped the coffee table violently, and said angrily: "Zhao Yunxuan! Don't bully people too much. The Yuan family members dare not trespass in the harem. You are so presumptuous in breaking into the harem at night. Don't force us to die!"

"Who are you scaring? Is your family willing to take this great country..."

Zhao Guanren blew smoke at her frivolously, and said with a sneer, "I can just slap my ass and leave. If you are not afraid of destroying your family, you can just poison it, otherwise you will be your queen with your tail between your legs. Besides, I didn't ask you to serve me." Sleep, why are you so anxious?"

"Shameless!"

The concubine got up in shock and left. A group of concubines in the East Palace quickly followed her and ran away. The two imperial concubines also hurriedly led people away, but most of the concubines stayed behind. They all looked at Zhao Guanren eagerly. None of them moved.

"Haha~ Concubines! I don't have to be afraid of anyone here, come and give me a big gift..."

Zhao Guanren waved his hands brazenly, but after dozens of empresses looked at each other, no one dared to step forward to rebel blatantly, only Concubine Jingde was not afraid of boiling water, she knelt forward and threw off her sleeves, behaved Three kowtows.

"I know you have concerns, you are afraid that the prince will settle accounts after autumn, right..."

Zhao Guanren stood up and smiled with his hands behind his back: "However, you will soon know that the crown prince is just a face, and I am the real emperor. I will be waiting for you tonight. Those who want to sleep should come early. I have secrets to tell." Feel free to come, I will definitely satisfy you!"

After Zhao Guanren finished speaking, he strode towards the back hall, Concubine Jingde followed up, several female guards immediately blocked the door, Concubine Jingde said delicately: "Your Majesty! This concubine will serve you in bed , can I ask Concubine Rong Chen to wash up first?"

"Wash it up, I'll go shopping first..."

Zhao Guanren walked into the backyard with a smile, came to the study and searched for a while, sat down and waited for half a cigarette, the small back door was suddenly opened, only to see the two princesses and concubines slipping in, and Princess Jing seemed to be a thief. guarded the back door.

"My brother!"

The princess sat in his arms familiarly, wondering: "What do you want to do, I really want to force the prince to jump over the wall, at least give him face!"

"You think of the prince too simply, the more unscrupulous I am, the happier he is..."

Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "Only when I succeed, will he despise me, and will rush to find the three dead men to further negotiate with me, otherwise it will be difficult for us to find the three dead men if they are hidden!"

"I drew up a list, take a look..."

The princess took out two pieces of paper from her bosom, handed them to him and said: "The first one is the emperor's favorite concubine. It is said that the emperor has the habit of talking in sleep, maybe they will hear something. The second one is the emperor's favorite concubine. My confidant, you can definitely..."

"Let's go! Princess Wang came in through the back door..."

Concubine Jing suddenly let out a low cry, but Zhao Guanren was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "What is that old man doing here? You don't want to sleep with me, do you?"

"Haha~ I'll let you go! She can be your grandmother..."

Chapter 0593 called the emperor

"Sister! I appreciate your kindness, but I am powerless, little brother..."

Zhao Guanren looked at an old imperial concubine on the phoenix bed, and said with a bitter face: "Don't look at me in good health. In fact, I have to urinate seven or eight times a night, and my kidneys are very weak. I was just bragging. I met a veteran like you." , I must die on you!"

"Hmph~ Look, I scared you, my sister won't eat you..."

The old imperial concubine gave him a coquettish look, the makeup on her face fell off, and said with a smile: "You know the status of my natal family very well, and my family doesn't care about red tape. As long as you are willing to marry my niece in secret, my family promises to make you even more powerful." !"

"What's wrong with this, left and right will die at your house..."

Zhao Guanren nodded with a smile, and she stepped forward to hand over a list, saying: "My family will do their best to search for the whereabouts of the poisonous powder. This is a suspicious list I drew up, and there are also secret places that the emperor often goes to. Anyway, no one is there. Know the emperor better than us!"

"Your family can only search for clues, and you must not alert the dead. If something happens, everyone will be finished..."

Zhao Guanren put away the paper and gave instructions. The old imperial concubine walked out from the back door contentedly. Immediately afterwards, Concubine Jingde opened the door. A noble concubine came in blushing and kowtowed. Before, she dared not fart in the hall. Now This is the emperor and your majesty.

"Next group!"

After Zhao Guanren perfunctorily left the imperial concubine, more than 20 more people came in one after another. Besides the concubines, there were also many court ladies. Naturally, the court ladies came from breaking the news, and the concubines were serving the bed and breaking the news. He was dizzy after hearing all kinds of news. dizzy.

"The harvest is not small, some are busy..."

Zhao Guanren picked up a large stack of lists on the table. In fact, he had expected this result. There were not many women with normal mentality in the harem, and the royal family had no feelings at all.

Including the owner of Yongning County, how would a normal woman dare to stay in the imperial palace of an enemy country, but with someone else's child in her stomach, she dared to take over other people's country, and when she mentioned the look in her eyes when she was a queen, she could swallow her life.

"Concubine Jing! There's no one left, come in with Concubine Hong..."

Zhao Guanren put away the list and stretched himself out. Unexpectedly, a young lady pushed the door in again. It was obvious that she was a half-race beauty, but she knelt on the ground and said: "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Princess Tai, please greet Your Majesty." , Your Majesty bows to Jinan!"

"Ha~"

Zhao Guanren sat back down again, lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "You finally surrendered yourself. I thought you would take a chance and hide until after giving birth!"

"Your Majesty! You arrested a few seemingly insignificant people, but it already shows that we have been exposed..."

Princess Hetai raised her head and said: "You keep us from catching, just to put a long line to catch big fish, but I don't want to die, I am the princess of Heaven, and I have endless glory and wealth, as long as you let me go back , I will definitely reveal all the secrets!"

"Master and apprentice of Ghost King Tomb are all dead by my hands, I know everything about you..."

Zhao Guanren smiled contemptuously: "I don't think you have the conditions to negotiate with me. You are also looking for corpse poison powder, but you have found nothing. I am not interested in your shadows. Next year, I will personally lead the two armies to destroy them." Your peaceful island!"

"Your Majesty! I have important clues about the whereabouts of the poisonous powder..."

Princess Hetai knelt down to the table, put down a piece of paper and said, "I only got this clue on the eve of the war, and I am the only one who knows it. I have a good chance of finding the poisonous powder, and the poisonous powder is not in the hands of any official. A place none of you can imagine!"

"Gusu?"

Seeing that only the word "Gusu" was written on the paper, Zhao Guanren said with a smile, "You're good at keeping things secret, but it's useless if you go back. I still have to catch you next year, and then I'll cut off your father's head and sleep with you." Sister and your mother, your brother will also be sold as a rabbit!"

"Actually, the king of heaven has already prepared for the worst..."

The princess said pitifully: "If he fails again this time, he will commit suicide to thank the world. The new king will pay compensation and try to meet the requirements of the two countries. Marriage must be one of the conditions. I am still a virgin. Marry you as a child, okay?"

"You write a letter back..."

Zhao Guanren pressed her head and smiled: "I personally want two eldest princesses, two princesses, and two princesses. The six must be serious blood relatives. As long as they are beautiful, it doesn't matter how old they are, but they must bring 2000 million taels." For the dowry, change my surname to Qianye!"

"My, my surname is Qianye, Qianyehui, Qianyexuan is the ancestor of my family..."

The princess looked at him in bewilderment, but Zhao Guanren said with a smirk: "Then let's call it Wanye, look back and find a big ginkgo tree, and let the six girls of your family stand around the tree, when will the shock come?" When the next [-] leaves come, when will the work be over!"

"As long as His Majesty does not destroy the country, we will take good care of His Majesty..."

Qianye Hui showed a hint of joy, but Zhao Guanren sneered: "No wonder your heavenly royal family is all mixed races, and you borrowed seeds from people everywhere. Tell me, what clues do you have in Gusu City?"

"The poisonous powder should be divided into one south and one north, and one part is in Shun country..."

Qianyehui said in a low voice: "The ones in the north will definitely be in the important towns of Gyeonggi, or even in the capital, but there is no clue yet, but the ones in the south will definitely be in Gusu City. We found a man named Li Donglai who was silent half a month ago. Leaving Beijing in a hurry, and disappearing in Gusu with people and horses!"

"Li Donglai?"

Zhao Guanren asked suspiciously: "What's so special about this person, how could he be found?"

"This man is the son of the Dragon Guards of the previous dynasty. Most of the Dragon Guards are inherited from their fathers and loyal to the emperor for generations..."

Chiba Hui said: "But he did not enter the court as an official, but instead ran a tea house. The business is not good but he has no worries about food and drink. He is dull and taciturn. He still lives alone in his 30s. This kind of person is very suitable for the characteristics of a dead man. , and he has no relatives in Gusu, the poisonous powder is probably on him!"

"Okay! You gather all the clues together and give them to me tomorrow morning..."

Zhao Guanren patted her face, and Qianyehui walked out with gratitude. He saw that it was past ten o'clock in the middle of the night, and he came to Feng's bed full of energy, rubbed his hands and yelled: "You two concubines, Come in and have a good time with me!"

suddenly!

Two teams of palace maids lined up and walked in. More than 20 people were carrying all kinds of toiletries, clean clothes and pants, and even gadgets to add to the fun.

"I wipe! Not so many people..."

Zhao Guanren took half a step back in shock, but Director An came in again flatteringly: "Your Majesty! You turned over the signs of Concubine Jingde and Concubine Hong. The two ladies have finished washing. Do you think you should take them off and bring them in, or let the lady come in?" Are you waiting?"

"Of course I came in to serve you, and follow the rules for the rest..."

Zhao Guanren decided to have an emperor's addiction, and he sat on the grand master's chair with a big horse, and Director An clapped his hands and bent down to step aside. Slow breathing is consistent.

"Your Majesty is in bed!"

A little eunuch shouted outside the door, and the lights outside were quickly extinguished, while the two well-dressed ladies were shyly helped in by the female officer. The jewelry on their bodies was more grand than when they were married, and they both knelt Kowtow on the ground.

"Be flat!"

Zhao Guanren raised his hands in a pretentious manner, trying to follow Emperor Yao's airs, but Director An laughed again: "Your Majesty! Until you finish washing, the two empresses have to kneel all the time and cannot stretch out their hands to serve you, lest they get dirty and dirty." It needs to be washed again!"

"Your Majesty! This servant will undress you..."

Two female officials came over, these were the two new officials personally mentioned by Zhao Guanren. After he got up, he opened his arms, and he didn't need to do the rest. A delicate and compact tool.

"Rinse your mouth! Floss your teeth! Cleanse your face! Wipe your armpits..."

The two female officials folded their hands on their chests and supervised the maids with expressionless faces. Zhao Guanren was like a dummy. He was carefully wiped clean from head to toe, and his teeth were picked out by the beautiful little maids. It is ginseng tea.

"Hey! You can't wipe here, I can do it myself..."

Zhao Guanren suddenly crossed his crotch, startled the two young maids, knelt on the ground and looked at the maids in bewilderment.

"emperor!"

A seemingly dogmatic female officer came over and said with a light smile: "All the women in the harem are your women, why should your majesty see outsiders? You have to learn to enjoy them. Besides, if you don't use them, after the crown prince ascends the throne, they will all I have to follow the concubine to guard the mausoleum, it's very miserable!"

"I can't take off my dragon pants, it's up to you..."

Zhao Guanren motioned to the two young maids, then raised his head and asked, "How long will the tomb guards be kept? Has the list of the tomb guards been finalized yet?"

"The mausoleum must be guarded until death, praying, singing and dancing in front of the mausoleum of the first emperor every day..."

The female officer said: "Shouling is worse than becoming a nun. Even outsiders can't see it. Two selected concubines have hanged themselves. The crown princess is bullying honest people. Concubine Jingde once offended her. She was the first The first one chose Empress Jingfei, and Empress was frightened and cried at that time!"

"So you want to guard the mausoleum, no wonder you kowtow to me on the way..."

Zhao Guanren glanced at Concubine Jingde, whose buttocks were in the air. Concubine Jingde nodded her head and didn't dare to say anything, but Zhao Guanren shook his head again and said, "This system has to be changed. Keep the mausoleum for a year. It's fine if you don't want to let it go. People guard until death, isn't this cheating people!"

"Your Majesty is still benevolent, no one except you said to change..."

The female officer smiled and helped him sit down, massaged his shoulders skillfully, a court lady also came up to clean his ears, two court ladies manicured his nails, and two others washed his feet and pinched his feet, the nails were cleaned clean Clean, bluntly washed him fragrant.

"Hiss~ These ears are really comfortable, the craftsmanship is incredible..."

Zhao Guanren kept breathing coolly, and said with a smile: "It's no wonder that everyone wants to be an emperor. The comfort alone is worth it. This skill must be passed on to the Shun Kingdom. The girls in the Shun Kingdom are too rough. The concubines also rolled up their sleeves and did it, just like entering a brothel!"

"Your Majesty! Are you also the emperor in Shun Kingdom..."

The female officer asked curiously, and Zhao Guanren smiled and said, "I don't dare to be emperor in Shunguo. There is not a single man in the Shunguo palace, and there are more than 6000 women waiting to be fed. If you go in and walk around, you can lose a few catties. If you invite me in, I won't let you down." Don't go, it's too scary!"

"Hehehe..."

The girls laughed like silver bells, and Zhao Guanren was washed and stripped off in a short while. The two ladies finally got up, took off their clothes, climbed onto the phoenix bed, and lay down in an orderly manner.

The maids lined up to go out, and the chief security officer helped Zhao Guanren all the way onto the phoenix bed, and then walked out with a smile on his face. Outside the bed, there were two booklets in his hand.

"What are you remembering..."

Zhao Guanren sat on the side of the bed in wonder, and the female officer replied: "Your Majesty! One records the time of pregnancy of the ladies, and the other records the words and deeds of the ladies, whether they have behaved improperly, whether they have frivolous words or deeds, and they will all have to report tomorrow. The dormitory records!"

"Girls! I'm not enthroned, you go out and tell you to come in again..."

Zhao Guanren waved his hands dumbfounded, and the six walked out quickly, while the two empresses also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, their big watery eyes looked over immediately, and Concubine Hong even smiled coquettishly: "Your Majesty How much weight do you want to lose tonight?"

"It depends on the abilities of the two concubines, hurry up and serve them..."

Zhao Guanren laid down happily between the two women. Tonight was a real business meeting. Concubine Hong's natal family was from a noble family in the south of the Yangtze River, and Concubine Jingde's eldest brother was a military officer, but he was also quite prestigious in the army , to some extent more important than Concubine Hong.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness..."

All relatives and relatives of the emperor from all walks of life have to come to express their condolences. After the 27th, the crown prince will be able to ascend the throne.

The cries and howls in the Renhe Palace were endless. The custom of mourning has existed since ancient times. At this time, more than [-] days have passed since the night of the war, but there is still an endless stream of people who come to express their condolences. Even the emperor of Shunguo sent After the funeral, the entire palace was dressed in linen and filial piety.

"My mother! If I kneel down again, I will have to go with the late emperor..."

The widowed concubines finally came to the back hall to have a sip of tea, and they all complained endlessly. Almost no one in the entire harem had any real feelings for Emperor Jiwu. Put it on yourself and your natal family.

"Girls! Come with me..."
