After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Chapter 46 The evil ghost seeking life

Not only did the Zhang family want to compete for favor, but Empress Yu also did not want His Majesty the Emperor to favor the newcomer Ying Shu. But logically speaking, Empress Yu should know that the daughter of King Langyi only obeyed the emperor's orders, so she would not be really favored. Mrs. Xie used her as a tool, but Queen Yu did not believe that His Majesty the Emperor, who wanted to protect the prince, wanted to use Zhang to avoid unnecessary complications.

Zhang took advantage of his plan and listened to Bingshan's advice to offend Empress Yu, so that the Emperor would come to Xianyang Palace. Empress Yu kindly persuaded the Emperor to forgive Zhang, but it was her first offense and not punishing her, which had hindered the Emperor. Favoring Yingshu and winning over Zhang's people's hearts, it killed two birds with one stone. But not only was Mrs. Xie not that stupid, even Zhang was not fooled.

Because in Zhang's view, Queen Yu was useless, and Mrs. Xie was a more solid backer. Although Mrs. Xie first chose King Langyi to form an alliance, it did not mean that Jiangdong Zhang had no hope of replacing King Langyi.

Madam Xie naturally sorted out this seemingly paradoxical incident, and she was happy to cooperate with Zhang's daughter: "Her Royal Highness the Queen's old illness is an old illness. Whether Zhang Liangren cursed the prince for offending the queen is another matter. How can we be so confused? Exposed? If it is true that Luo Nvshi and many palace officials colluded to frame Zhang Liangren, how can this serious crime go unpunished?!"

"I would like to thank Madam for upholding justice." Ms. Zhang made another big salute, looking extremely angry: "Her Royal Highness the Queen intends to protect Luo Nu Shi and others. If we don't interrogate the judge today, right and wrong will be unclear, and I won't be able to live forever. Carrying suspicion? Even His Majesty has to bear the slander of unfair judgment!"

Queen Yu's breathing became heavier.

"Since the queen said there is no need to ask, there is no need to ask. I already know clearly that it is indeed the female historian and palace officials of Xianyang Palace who intend to frame Zhang Liangren and take advantage of the queen's old illness to cause trouble. Zhang Liangren can rest assured that you are not at fault. Even more innocent, I will order the female Shi Luoshi and the palace servant Bingshan to be punished as slaves as a warning."

For a moment, the only sound in the huge hall was the queen's breathing.

After a while, the queen said: "It's my fault, I have become more and more sick in recent years, and I am unable to control the palace people."

"I hope your majesty will grant me permission to move out of Xianyang Palace." Zhang made the request.

But she was still very cautious and did not directly propose to live in Zhaoyang Palace.

The emperor looked at Mrs. Xie, and Mrs. Xie understood. This was the emperor's silent plea to her, asking her to make the big thing a trivial one and stop being so stubborn.

"Since Her Majesty the Queen is in poor health, it is better to keep the Xianyang Palace quiet. Concubine Qiao likes to be busy. Her Yuyin Pavilion has not been allocated a husband to move in this year. If Zhang Liang is willing, he can move to Yuyin Pavilion. "Mrs. Xie said.

Mrs. Zhang was very satisfied.

In the past few days after entering the palace, she had actually figured out that among the current eight concubines, Concubine Liu Shu was the queen's wife, but Qiao Xiuhua had frequent contacts with Zhaoyang Palace. Although Pingyi Qiao was attached to King Langyi, since Qiao Xiuhua had done everything he could After trying hard to express his goodwill to Mrs. Xie, Pingyi Qiao must have stepped directly on Chen Jun Xie's ship. Mrs. The girl was quite beautiful, so she didn’t just give up on her.

But how could the power of Jiangdong's Zhang family be comparable to that of Langyi's Wang family?

Today, His Majesty the Emperor does not know that the Queen has not really framed her, but even if it is still a small punishment or a big warning for the "back party", doesn't he still dare not completely cover the Queen and make enemies with Jiangdong Zhang? Jiangdong Zhang and Chen Jun Xie have a better chance of winning if they join forces. Mrs. Xie is a smart person, how can she not know which of the two surnames Zhang and Wang is more important?

Apart from Concubine Liu Shu and Qiao Xiuhua, the only concubine who has given birth to an heir to the emperor is Li Chonghua. Li Chonghua's family is related to Jiang Donglu by marriage, but Li Chonghua himself is extremely unclear about it. He only cares about competing for favors and destroys the entire imperial court. Most of them were offended, and I simply didn’t know what to say.

In Zhang's view, since Mrs. Xie allowed her to live in Yuyin Pavilion, even if she had not completely given up Ying Shu's "left arm", she seemed to regard her as her "right arm".

Even today, the emperor will still return to Zhaoyang Palace, and he has no intention of favoring Wang's daughter. The war between her and Wang's daughter has not been decided, and it is not clear who will win the concubine position.

Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Zhang were both satisfied, but Empress Yu was very worried. Things were out of her control. She urgently needed to communicate with His Majesty the Emperor. Empress Yu was determined to keep His Majesty in Xianyang Palace tonight, but she said : "It's all my fault for disturbing your majesty and A Xie's enjoyment. Your Majesty should comfort A Xie. I send you your majesty's greetings..." She stood up from the bed again in a trembling voice.

Mrs. Xie thought in a wicked way, if she just took the emperor back to Zhaoyang Palace, would Queen Yu be so angry that she would vomit three liters of blood? Or... simply let His Majesty the Emperor appease Mrs. Zhang tonight?

Mrs. Xie is not stupid, of course she knows that Mrs. Zhang is not determined to submit to her, but is just using her as a stepping stone to be favored or even seize the throne. Let alone let Mrs. Zhang be favored first, even if she is allowed to have it first. Pregnancy, whether the child can be born or not is all under her control. Perhaps she can use Zhang's belly to cause Queen Yu to suffer greater setbacks?

While Mrs. Xie was considering this feasibility, chaos suddenly broke out outside Xianyang Palace. Someone shouted "Walk away", and gongs sounded as a warning. Now even Queen Yu had forgotten to pretend to be sick, so naturally she couldn't No matter how much one cares about His Majesty the Emperor's "destination" tonight, running away is a big deal and should not be taken lightly. Zhongchang Shizhang never waited for the Emperor's orders and hurried to ask for details. He returned soon, looking extremely solemn.

"Your Majesty, this is not a scam."

Upon hearing this, no one relaxed, because Zhang Yong's expression seemed to reveal that what happened was more serious than a leak.

"Another palace member died...the evil ghost took his life!!!"

"Why is the evil ghost asking for his life?!" Ms. Zhang exclaimed.

Xiao Peng bit her tongue hard, because even though Ying Shu had told her not to speak on the way to "watch the battle", she almost screamed when she heard the words "evil ghost seeking life", and even Thanks to Ms. Zhang being one step ahead of her, Xiao Peng swallowed back her scream. When she saw how steady Ying Shu was, she still looked calm.

Yingshu knew about the "evil ghost demanding his life" incident in Jiankang Palace. In her previous life, when she became Shufei, the "evil ghost demanding his life" incident also happened. Yingshu was confused at the time, but it was Sikong Beichen who told her This incredible incident in the imperial court - the first murder probably occurred in the second year of Jianxing. One day when the imperial servants were inspecting, they found a corpse. The victim was a palace official. From then on, there was a murder every few months. Palace officials were killed, and until Sikong Beichen ascended the throne, the murderer was still not caught.

The palace people called the murders "evil ghosts seeking lives" because the murderers always committed the crimes at night, and the killing methods were very brutal. But of course the murders were not caused by monsters and monsters. Ying Shu felt that she could not let the murderers continue to commit crimes, which led to the dissatisfaction of the inner court. Panicked, she suggested that Sikong Beichen secretly investigate the murder case. Later, the murderer was caught, and many murder cases that lasted for many years were finally solved.

But the murderer who was later arrested... Ying Shu raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Yong.

The murderer is obviously following Zhang Yong. The eunuch prays to the eunuch who is bowing his head and praying in silence. Does he have the ability to clone himself? Otherwise, how could he commit murder and set fire? Or is it that the murderer is not only an eunuch, but he also has accomplices?

Out of the corner of her eye, Yingshu caught a glimpse of the palace servant supporting Queen Yu. Why did this palace servant suddenly look happy? Could he be so happy when he heard that someone had been killed?

I also heard Mrs. Xie say: "Where did the evil spirit come from to seek life? It was an evil person in the palace. This is the first murder that has been committed. Her Highness the Queen always said that she has ordered an investigation. So far, no trace has been found." Not to mention, the murderer actually dared to commit crimes again and again!"

At this time, everyone had followed the emperor out of the main hall and climbed up to a three-story high pavilion on the west side. They could see the back garden to the north of Xianyang Hall. There was still a faint firelight. Ying Shu lowered her eyes. She felt that today What happened at night was really weird. As far as she knew, the so-called "evil ghost seeking death" case did not have the "mark" of "arson". The murderer immediately fled the scene after killing, and sometimes it took several days for the victim's body to be found. Discovered - the palace is too big, and there are many unused palaces. Even if someone in the palace is found missing, the body cannot be found immediately - the murderer never sets fire to make the murder immediately noticed.

Yingshu can't explain all the strange things now, because logically speaking, like Xiao Peng, she should have heard about the "evil ghost seeking life" case for the first time, and has no way of knowing the various "signs" about the murder, and the eunuch's prayer will eventually be revealed. She was the real culprit who was arrested. Looking at the expressions of the emperor and Mrs. "They all stared at the dense night north of Xianyang Hall. For a while, even Madam Xie, because the Queen completely accepted her doubts and ridicules without even a word of excuse, Madam Xie also remained silent with waning interest. .

The breeze penetrated the high pavilion, the lamps and shadows swayed wildly, and the ferocious atmosphere was looming. Yingshu was thinking about the palace lady who died unfortunately. Regarding her name, did anyone at the scene know her name? How many people knew it? The inner court always seems to be like this, the beginning of death comes without warning and is completely unnecessary. Just like what happened tonight, in fact, the fight is nothing more than a "prince" who may be born in theory. In fact, this "prince" has no influence or even influence at all. The ownership of the reserve was decided, but in the struggle, an innocent palace man died tragically.

Yingshu had seen this cruel battlefield, but she never recognized such "rules". She secretly peeped at the people in the high pavilion, trying to catch clues from their expressions. She was especially concerned about Queen Yu, who had just been ill. The "dying" woman was still breathing heavily, and seemed to be grieving for the tragic death of the palace people. Yingshu felt that there was a cold breath in her eyes. To be precise, Queen Yu was not her enemy, but Yingshu began to hate the queen deeply.

There is no evidence, but Yingshu believes that the Yu family's mother and son are one of the culprits, because eunuch Qi is probably not an "evil ghost". In his previous life, it was Sikong Beichen who verified eunuch Qi's crimes, and Yingshu did not interrogate eunuch Qi. She trusted Sikong Beichen at that time and did not suspect that the murderer was someone else, but what about now? The palace attendants around Queen Yu were so excited when they heard about the "evil ghost seeking life" that there would definitely be some unknown accident caused by this murder case. This palace attendant should be the protagonist of the accident.

She wanted to see what kind of conspiracy it was that required a human life as a "lead".

In the silence, slight footsteps came from bottom to top, and then from the outside in. It should be the palace servant who was on duty at His Excellency Gao, saying that several nobles heard about the murder in the palace and came to Xianyang Hall to request an audience. The palace man's wording paid great attention to the dignity of the emperor and the empress, but Yingshu understood the implication - because of the murder, many concubines couldn't wait to gather together to fight - Xianyang Palace has never had the power to leave others alone, even if they knew it His Majesty the Emperor will stay overnight in the Xianyang Hall, and Madame He and Madam Zheng can come and "trouble" at any time if they wish. Not to mention that the Queen dare not retreat, even the Emperor has to take care of the "respect" of several ladies.

This is Dongyu's harem, where the hierarchy is very chaotic.
