Fenghou

Chen Qing put on his padded robe and went out. It was two o'clock in the morning on the fifth day of the first lunar month, and the weather was very cold. Five female guards guarded Chen Qing. Not long after, Chen Qing came to the central hall.

In the middle hall, Wang Hao was pacing back and forth anxiously. At this moment, footsteps came from outside. Chen Qing walked into the middle hall. Wang Hao hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "See Dutong!"

"What's the emergency?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the late emperor has passed away."

Chen Qing was startled, Zhao Huan died?

"When did it happen?" Chen Qing asked anxiously.

"Just an hour ago, he took the elixir he had just refined, and soon he bled to death from his seven orifices. The inner guard who monitored him discovered the situation and immediately rushed to report to the humble officer."

Chen Qing was a little speechless. Although Zhao Huan had been living in a Taoist temple, he did not become a Taoist priest, but was obsessed with alchemy. He never thought that just after the new year, he would be poisoned to death by the elixir he refined.

"How many people know about this now?"

"Apart from the inner guard, only the former prince knew that he was the one who found out that his father was in a bad situation and ran to the inner guard for help. Now the inner guard has taken control of the yard and sealed the news tightly."

"Good job!" Chen Qing praised.

Chen Qing walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and said: "Transfer them from the Taoist temple to Qujiang Bieyuan immediately, and secretly bury Zhao Huan's body tonight, find a good coffin, and bury them in Qujiang Bieyuan. We must strictly seal the news, appease the former crown prince, allow him to marry his father's tomb, and then move to Bianliang for a proper burial."

"Your Highness, I suggest that you find someone with a similar appearance as soon as possible, in case you need one!"

Chen Qing nodded, "It can be done, but it's still the same sentence, keep it strictly confidential!"

"Understandable!"

Chen Qing explained a few more words, and Wang Hao left in a hurry.

Chen Qing was no longer sleepy at this time, he asked the female guard to inform the princess, and he went back to the study by himself.

Chen Qing sits at the table and meditates. He has his own plan to replace the Song Dynasty, which needs to be implemented step by step. It is like a noose that is slowly tightened, and it is like a little bit of boiling water. When everyone hates the Lin'an court, all that will happen. It was a matter of course.

In this matter, he can't act too hastily, he will take up his reputation and morality.

On the other hand, in the Kingdom of Jin, he had to use some refreshments. Seizing Hebei was the task of this year. After letting Wan Yanchang linger for so many years, it was time to deal with him.

At this time, a delicate snow-white hand put a cup of hot tea in front of his eyes. Chen Qing raised his head, and it turned out to be Yao Mei. Her black waterfall-like hair was scattered on her shoulders, giving her beautiful face a hint of womanliness. coquettish.

Chen Qing held her hand, hugged her in his arms, and asked, "It's still early, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"It's Madam who asked me to serve the prince!"

She raised her head, staring at Chen Qing with a pair of bright beautiful eyes, her eyes fluttered, her red lips moved slightly, and she was so glamorous, Chen Qing couldn't bear it anymore, bowed his head and kissed her.

Yao Mei put her arms around Chen Qing's neck and kissed back passionately. Chen Qing's hand began to move around her body. Yao Mei gradually became short of breath and felt hot all over.

Chen Qing picked her up and walked to the second floor.

That night, Yao Mei catered to her master recklessly and dedicated herself physically and mentally.

……

At dawn, Chen Qing slowly woke up from a deep sleep, only to find that the beauty beside her was gone, and she had cleaned up the peach blossoms on the bed sheet.

Thinking of the scene last night, Chen Qing really felt a little absurd. He said that he would accept her again next year, but he still made a slip of the tongue. Although it was a bit absurd, after thinking about it, he still enjoyed it.

At this time, the voice of his wife Lu Xiu came from downstairs, "The prince hasn't woken up yet!"

"Before I get up, the servant will light the brazier first, and then make a pot of milk tea."

"Cook a little more, and give me a cup too."

"Slaves obey orders!"

"Amei, did you sleep with the prince last night?"

Yao Mei didn't say a word, and after a while, Lu Xiu sighed, "I knew it would happen, it was my fault, I asked you to serve the prince in the middle of the night, there must be something wrong, forget it, you must be restrained in the future, don't mess around during the day, you must cherish Prince's body, do you remember?"

"Slave remembers!"

"Go and wake up the prince! Today is the fifth day of the first lunar month. There will be a New Year's meeting and a New Year's banquet for hundreds of officials. Then I will make milk tea later. Let's talk together."

Yao Mei hurriedly turned around and went upstairs. Lu Xiu glanced at her back and saw that she was walking unnaturally, so she knew that she had been beaten up last night. It was the first time that she didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, hey!The prince doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

Lu Xiu shook her head and left. Yao Mei saw Chen Qing getting up. She stuck out her tongue and hugged Chen Qing's neck in joy, "My lord, my concubine agreed, and I will not be punished!"

Of course Chen Qing knew that it was deliberately arranged by his wife, she knew her physical habits in the middle of the night, otherwise she would have asked Yu Ying or Yu Lian to serve her, and by letting Yao Mei come in the middle of the night, she was actually tacitly acquiescing.

The two stayed together for a while, and then Chen Qing got up to wash up. He has a New Year's party today, and he has to entertain all the officials. He is really busy.

After a hasty breakfast, Chen Qing set off.

……

At noon, Lu Xiu was chatting with the Zhao sisters. When it came to jewellery, Lu Xiu smiled and said, "The officials gave me a night pearl. It is really magical. It will shine by itself at night. Let me show you."

Zhao Qiaoyun smiled and said: "There were a few night pearls in the imperial palace before, but they were snatched by Jin Guo. We haven't seen them yet! Eldest sister, show us quickly."

Lu Xiu turned her head and ordered: "Chun Xi, go to my bedroom and get the red sandalwood box by the bed."

Chunxi agreed and hurried to go.

Zhao Yingluo looked at Chunxi's back and said, "Sister, you didn't let Chunxi stay on duty?"

Lu Xiu shook her head, "The officials don't like her, saying that she has too many thoughts, nothing serious, and changed to Amei last night."

Zhao Yingluo smiled and said, "It seems that Amei is about to take over."

"Observing her for a year, this little lady is not bad, with a good nature, not the kind of scheming girl, I can accept her."

At this moment, Chunxi came running in a panic, "Ma'am, I've been looking for a long time, but I haven't seen that box!"

Lu Xiu was taken aback, "No way! I saw it this morning, right next to my pillow."

"I've looked for it, and there really isn't one next to the pillow!"

"Strange!"

Lu Xiu thought for a while and said, "Go find the two little princesses!"

The first thousand 270 eight chapters stealing jade

Not long after, Chen Xueer and Chen Binger came running up and down, "Mother, what do you want me for?"

"What are you doing?"

"We're playing tricks with Amei's sister!"

Lu Xiu asked calmly, "Did you take anything from Mother today?"

"No!"

The two little guys shook their heads like rattles, "We are very good, we won't take mother's baby."

"Mother has a mahogany box next to the pillow, you really didn't take it?"

"did not see it!"

"Cher!"

Lu Xiu's face sank, and she said unhappily: "There is a bead in the wooden box, I know you like shiny beads, mother will give you a lot of beads, but you have to be honest, did you take it or not?"

Xue'er was beaten by her mother, she curled her mouth and began to cry, "Xue'er didn't take mother's beads, mother is a villain, I will ignore mother."

Xue'er turned around and ran away crying, Lu Xiu slapped the table and said angrily: "Come back, don't run!"

Xue'er was so frightened that she stopped and burst into tears.

Zhao Yingluo quickly persuaded: "Sister, it may not be the child who took it, don't scare her."

Lu Xiu knew that in recent years, except for her daughter who stole her own jade to play, no one dared to take it.

At this time, Zhao Qiaoyun pulled her daughter Binger over and asked in a low voice, "Did sister not take it?"

Binger shook her head, "No! Xueer will definitely tell me if she takes it."

Lu Xiu suddenly recalled that the red sandalwood box was so big and heavy that her daughter might not be able to lift it. If she did, she would only take beads. Now she didn't even have the wooden box. She really wronged her daughter.

She felt distressed for a while, and quickly hugged her daughter to coax her, "It's my mother's fault, Xue'er shouldn't be wronged."

Xue'er lay in her mother's arms and cried even more fiercely, "I didn't take it! I didn't take it!"

"I know! I know! I didn't take Xueer, Xueer is a good boy."

Zhao Yingluo thought for a while and said, "There are not many people who can enter the eldest sister's bedroom, so it should be easier to check."

At this time, Chunxi whispered: "Before I saw Amei come out of the wife's room, holding something in her hand, I don't know what it is?"

Lu Xiu and the Zhao sisters looked at each other, Zhao Qiaoyun got up and said, "I'll go and have a look."

"Don't ask directly!" Lu Xiu reminded.

"I know, I'll go and see her homework yesterday."

Zhao Qiaoyun left, Lu Xiu took a sip of tea and frowned, Yao Mei is not a greedy person, although she also saw Zhuzhu last night, she should know that it is not something she can have.

Not long after, Zhao Qiaoyun came back, holding a red box in her hand, "Sister, is this it?"

"that's it!"

Lu Xiu quickly took the box and opened it. Ye Mingzhu inside was safe and sound. She was relieved and asked quickly, "Found it in her room?"

Zhao Qiaoyun nodded, "I found it at the head of her bed and covered it with a quilt. She is not here, so I went to clean up the study for the officials."

Lu Xiu's face darkened, and a glint of anger flashed in her eyes. She was lucky to have given her a special favor and put her in the position. She actually did such a thing. I really didn't see that she was so scheming. She pretended not to want gold jewelry, like Ye Mingzhu. But she stared at the treasure.

"Sister, do you want to call her?"

Lu Xiu thought that she was already her husband's woman last night, she shook her head and said, "We'll talk about it when the officials come back, and let the officials deal with her."

Lu Xiu thought for a while and then ordered: "Chunxi, go and find Mrs. Wen and ask her to bring some healthy women over."

When Chunxi turned around, there was a glint of joy in her eyes, and she turned and ran away.

A quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Wen invited Yao Mei back to her room with a few healthy women, locked her room door, and imprisoned her in her own room. She was punished, and she was really terrified in her heart.

Soon, the news that Yao Mei was imprisoned by his wife spread throughout the whole house, there were those who gloated about her misfortune and those who sympathized with her.

Zhao Yingluo was worried about her youngest son, so she quickly returned to her yard. The personal maid Qiu Yue came in with tea. She put down the teacup and hesitated for a while.

Zhao Yingluo glanced at her and asked with a smile, "What do you want to tell me?"

Qiu Yue stammered: "Ma'am, Amei became the princess's night watchman last night, is it true that the princess is going to promote her?"

"What do you ask for this?"

Zhao Yingluo asked with a smile, "Don't tell me you also want to be the night watchman, don't you have a marriage contract with your cousin?"

"That's not what I mean. There are rumors outside that Amei was caught stealing from the princess, but I don't think Amei would steal from the princess. She is not this kind of person."

Because Qiuyue has a marriage contract with her cousin at home, she has no intention of wrongdoing, so she has the best relationship with Yao Mei. She wants to defend Yao Mei, but she dare not speak nonsense.

Zhao Yingluo shook her head, "I found everything in her room, what else is impossible, the prince will deal with this matter, don't worry about it!"

"Yes! Qiu Yue resigns."

Qiu Yue saluted and stepped back slowly. When she reached the door, she mustered up her courage and said, "What if someone framed Ah Mei?"

"What did you say?" Zhao Yingluo was taken aback.

"Madam, don't you know that there are people who hate Amei deeply? Especially when Amei entered the owner's pool when she took a bath on New Year's Eve, and she was a night watchman last night, how many people hate her, I told Madam before."

Zhao Yingluo was stunned, and Qiu Yue bowed and retreated.

Zhao Yingluo pondered for a moment, then got up and walked towards the princess courtyard.

……

"how is this possible?"

Lu Xiu shook her head, "Whoever the official wants to accept into the house, he must first take his fancy, and then I will come to investigate. It's not that I can just stuff a woman and the official will accept it. It's obvious that when Yao Mei comes, everyone knows that the official will like it." If she is gone, who will compete with her?"

"Sister, it's really possible. Qiuyue has a marriage contract at home, so she doesn't have this heart. She told me a lot of things, and the other first-class maids all joined forces to exclude Amei. No one paid attention to her. Looking at their faces, they gathered together all day long, cursing Amei behind their backs, Qiuyue saw that they cut out a villain out of paper and poked it with a needle, probably it was Amei's name, you don't know about these things!"

Lu Xiu was surprised, "I never knew, why didn't you tell me?"

"This kind of thing is normal in the palace. It happens every day. I've seen it for a long time. I thought you knew it."

Lu Xiu couldn't sit still anymore, if Ah Mei was really framed, she would have nothing to say when her husband came back!She also realized that she was a bit reckless and shouldn't lock Amei up.

At this time, Zhao Yingluo reminded her: "Sister, I just remembered that someone who enters your room to get something can actually see it."

"Ah!" Lu Xiu woke up like a dream, and there was a female bodyguard hidden on her roof!I forgot about them.
