After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Yingshu sighed quietly.

When she sighed, she had already returned to Jiankang Palace, and was urged by Lord Baichuan to go to Changluo Palace to pay off her "gambling debt", that is, to listen to the story.

Just after sighing, she raised her eyes and saw Sikong Yuehu passing by. Yingshu hurriedly chased after him and stopped him.

The murder case in the paddock has been solved, and the killer is indeed Du Bang. He rushed to Zheng Lianzi's hiding place first. As soon as Zheng Lianzi arrived, he was knocked unconscious by him and then killed with a dagger. He cut off his eyes and tongue and pretended to be an evil ghost to commit the crime. In other words, when Ying Ying When Shu hid in the cave, Zheng Lianzi had already been killed before Tang Gu and Xianhua arrived at the crime scene.

But even if Sikong Yuehu did not appear at the scene of the crime that night and hid in the cave first to prevent Yingshu from calling for help, Zheng Lianzi would definitely die, but Yingshu always felt that Sikong Yuehu's appearance was strange, and this puzzlement was puzzling Open, she always felt like there was a tight string in her heart. She didn't need to pluck it, and it would always sound a warning sound.

"Why did the Fourth Highness hide in that cave that night?" Ying Shu asked straight to the point.

"I also want to ask you, how do you know there is a cave there?"

"I knew some secrets. I knew something would happen near Fengying San Pavilion. I first checked the surrounding terrain and found a cave. Then I arranged for Wen Ji to wait nearby. As soon as I found Zheng Liangren When you arrive, let me know."

"I was indeed returning from exploring the road. When passing through that area, I found many people ambushing me in the bushes. Although they told me that they were following the holy order, I heard the warning sound of the machine." Sikong Yuehu squinted his eyes. : "Wenji is a bird that can actually sense danger. Naturally, I won't leave just like that after hearing its warning. Moreover, I have already become familiar with the terrain in that area. I know that there is a cave that is both suitable for shelter and for peeking at night. I hid in there to see what would happen."

Yingshu turned her head away. What she witnessed that night was indeed embarrassing.

"No one expected what would happen. My father must have felt that he couldn't involve you because of the unexpected incident. Wang Wuniang, I'm not talking about you. Since you have understood Liu's conspiracy and reported it to my father, why not Knowing that your father has laid a dragnet in that area, you still insist on watching the fun and catching someone else's trap? If it hadn't been for you going there and sensing that the area looked like a hunting trap, why would it have warned me? I know clearly that the person following the news is either you or the fifth brother. In that case, how can I still ignore it and leave?"

Sikong Yuehu does seem to be a person with a cold face and a warm heart.

Yingshu took a step back: "It is precisely because I have made all the preparations that I have to go and see the situation. Otherwise, how can I compete with others if I don't understand what happened? How could I have imagined that the person who set up the trap would actually I have become the prey, and there are too many extraneous matters anyway, so there is no need for His Highness the Fourth Prince to keep holding on to me for this reckless act, right?"

"Who is it? I'm not the one calling you now."

Yingshu cupped her hands, turned around and ran away.

It was her fault, there were a lot of things that were difficult to talk about, so even though Sikong Yuehu had witnessed the whole thing, he never mentioned it. It was because she was overestimating her abilities and looking for embarrassment.

His Majesty has not yet decided how to deal with the Liu family. At present, he has just deposed the Liu family and put her under house arrest in Tonghua Palace - which is actually His Majesty's old residence. Although it is now within the scope of the imperial city, it is not directly connected to the inner court. , that is to say, now even Queen Yu's hand cannot reach into Tonghua Palace.

As for Xianzhu, she should have been in Cangmen Prison by now. Precisely because Xianzhu is still alive, Yingshu feels that the matter has not been settled yet.

But for the people in Jiankang City, this case is over. Yingshu left the Xihua Gate and boarded her car with a red lacquer car. Today, Xuanying still accompanied her to Changluo Palace. Regarding the commotion caused by the Weichang case in the market, Xuanying gave a brief explanation. Jiankang It was only these two days that the city was hotly discussing this case. As the emperor returned, news began to flow into the streets of the capital. It was not like other cases where the rumors were passed down from word to word. After all, It was a case that the Emperor personally tried, and both Liu and Du Bang had pleaded guilty.

"Even the Sixth Prince didn't attract any discussion, and the people all believed that even though his mother-in-law was convicted, Her Royal Highness the Queen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would still treat the Sixth Prince well. And even though the Sixth Prince's biological mother was deposed, after all, she was once a member of the harem. Concubines, the common people are too inconvenient to discuss, they are just speculating on how Lord Xuan Dian’s marriage will be arranged, and which prince can be favored by Lord Xuan Dian.”

Love affairs have always been the most concerned topic in the market. Yingshu smiled and asked, "Where are your family members? Are you concerned about this case?"

The nobles and the common people were different, so they all suspected that there was something fishy about this case, because most of the nobles knew that the Liu family had always been submissive to the queen, and they were determined to frame Lord Xuan Dian just because of the sixth prince? After the crime was exposed, he actually tried to frame the queen? Liu's ambition arose too suddenly.

"Only the second female gentleman is busy asking around for the inside story. The second female gentleman did not accompany me this time and is very dissatisfied."

"Fourth sister, can you go back these two days?"

"No, Bai Ying has been paying attention to Siniang's movements. She and Pei Jiulang have been at Jingu Garden in the northern suburbs during the Autumn Hunting Ceremony. From time to time, Siniang invites Baoqin from His Royal Highness's Villa to play in the northern suburbs. Once while on a trip, he was in danger. Several men in black attacked Baoqin, but Pei Jiulang and several guards from Jinguyuan arrived in time to frighten away the thieves."

"Fourth sister was also present at that time?"

"Siniang is here, otherwise Pei Jiulang wouldn't have arrived in time."

Yingshu had accumulated this in advance after hearing about it. There were too many rebirths, so holding the piano was no longer particularly important to her. As for Wang Qing'e, no matter how big a splash she made, in the final analysis, it would be in vain if the second prince did not ascend the throne. Yingshu leaned on the pillow and sighed: "The carriage is too bumpy. It would be nice if I could ride a horse."

Mr. Baichuan was looking at a horse at this time. It was a black horse with only some white hair on the tips of its ears, so it was named Tingxue. This horse had a bad temper. If you looked at it for a while, it would point its nostrils at people. He puffed, glared, and shook his neck to show his agitation. Mr. Baichuan was particularly surprised: "Why did His Highness give me this thing?"

The person who came to deliver the horse was panicked and said quickly: "This horse is amazing. It is a real thousand-mile horse, but it is not easy to tame. However, His Highness not only sent the horse, but also the trainer."

Bai Chuanjun raised his eyebrows: "What do I need from a thousand-mile horse? I've been at Changluo Palace all day long... This horse can travel a thousand miles, and can it carry me all the way to Jiuxiao?"

The person who gave the horse away: Well, Mr. Baichuan, you really think too much.

"Okay, go back and tell His Highness that gifts should be given to people who are considerate. I rarely ride horses. Why would you give me a horse? I am short of something, and it is not expensive. You can ask Your Highness to find it." The egg shell of a tiger, the afterbirth of a black tortoise, the hind legs of a swimming python, and the wings of a running dog.”

The man who sent the horse immediately knelt down and said, "Well done, Mr. Baichuan. If I go back like this, I will not survive."

"Okay, you can't die." Mr. Baichuan glanced at the kneeling person: "Although I am not married, I don't have any special hobbies. Why would His Highness send you to act coquettishly at me?"

When he went to Qingyuntai alone, Mr. Baichuan lay down directly on the reed mat spread on the ground, used his arms as a pillow, and closed his eyes. In this life, he has lived a very outrageous life, and has never thought of restraining himself. People, that's how it is. As you walk, you will know that the path of regret is the worst path that you can't take, so you won't look back. , stop and go, in short, heading forward.

When Yingshu ascended Qingyuntai, she saw a sluggish Mr. Baichuan, crossing his knees on the reed mat, stretching and saying, "I got up very early today in order to tell you a story. Shen I've been on stage since the beginning to wait for the Queen's eunuch to arrive."

Is Shenchu ​​considered "early in the morning"? Yingshu really didn't know what to say. Before looking at the reed mat, she set up a bench covered with deerskin felt, went over and sat down, and said politely: "I know that Uncle Jiu was sleepless at night. After noon, Fang Xing, I came here specifically at the time of Shen Zheng, but I hope Uncle Jiu’s story won’t be too long and I can get back to the palace before the curfew.”

"The story is not long, but I will sum it up on my fingers. You don't have to worry about breaking the rules today." Mr. Baichuan did not show off, and stretched his waist and said: "There is a king in this story. Before he ascended the throne, he My heart fell in love with a woman. She came from a famous family and was the only daughter of her parents. She was always cherished like the apple of her eye. At the age of fifteen, she was married to a son of a noble family by the order of her parents.

At that time, the king wanted to secure the throne, so he had no choice but to marry another good man. After he ascended the throne, he actually arranged for the beloved woman to divorce her husband and bring her into the palace as the first of the nine concubines. Later, when the king died, the woman had already passed away. She is now a queen, because the new monarch who succeeded the throne is still a child, so according to the decree, she uses the dignity of the queen mother to make decisions in the government affairs. "

Yingshu's heart sank as soon as she heard it, but she naturally had to pretend to be calm.

Not hearing Mr. Baichuan continue to say, she asked: "No more?"

"Of course, I don't know why the strange things happened later. In short, time suddenly went back to the woman's age, and there were many people who actually retained the memories before the time went back. The woman this time If she had not married a child of that aristocratic family and entered the palace after being elected, she could have been a female imperial concubine, but the woman preferred to be a female official, and not long after, she was promoted to the rank of female official."

Yingshu knew she couldn't pretend to be confused anymore: "Am I the woman in Uncle Jiu's story?"

"You're so smart, you just understand."

"If you still don't understand it, Uncle Jiu shouldn't bother telling me this story."

"How about it? You should also know who the king in the story is, right?"

Yingshu sighed: "Uncle Jiu, I don't think His Highness the Crown Prince likes me."

"Oh?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince's kindness to me is nothing more than to allow me to win over Mrs. Xie and use Chen Jun Xie's power to suppress the two surnames He and Zheng. In the mind of His Highness the Prince, it is natural that the power of the country should be given top priority. Don't Uncle Jiu feel that Is the behavior of the king in the story just ridiculous? How could the king first plan to seize the wife for lust, and then actually appoint the remarried woman as the queen, and even order her to use the dignity of the queen mother to decide military and political affairs? Now What is the situation in the world? The powerful lords are at war with each other. My family has long been unable to rule the court. If the prince really wants to appoint me as his queen, how can the many powerful lords be convinced? Not to mention, leave the relationship between the country and the country to Zuo. A harem woman like me has made a decision."

"The authenticity of this story is not important." Bai Chuanjun smiled softly: "What is important is whether the woman in the story will be moved by the king in the story."

Yingshu also smiled: "I know, I will tell Uncle with practical actions that I will never covet the love of His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince has so many brothers and sisters, why would he let a mere female to interfere in the government affairs."

After listening to the story, it was time for Yingshu to say goodbye. She had just bowed and before she could get up, she heard Lord Bai Chuan say: "Look, isn't His Highness the Crown Prince here?"
