After rebirth, I made the princes cry

A gust of wind blew up, and the golden lotus in the lotus pond seemed to bend down with a smile.

Yingshu also smiled: "Are Nanci and Princess Qinghe familiar with each other?"

"Not familiar." Nanci was puzzled: "I didn't live in Miyagi City when I was young. You know, I'm not that close to my siblings."

"At this time in my previous life, Princess Qinghe and I were not familiar with each other, but later, she took advantage of a family banquet to drink too much, and under the influence of alcohol, begged Sikong Beichen to release you from house arrest. She said that even Bi Sujun and Jiao Jiao Su Jun, who once insulted Sikong Beichen, was still able to join the vassal. It was due to bad luck that she died of illness in a foreign land. She lost her two royal brothers. Although Xin Su Jun was loved by her brother, who was a compatriot, she always thought of her. You, her Fifth Emperor brother, who are imprisoned in Guisu Mansion, really feel that you have no taste for food and cannot sleep well."

"You consider her a friend because she begged for me?" Nanci suddenly felt the warm wind in his arms, and his body and mind were gentle.

"At that time, I was worried that I had no excuse to plead for you. It was Princess Qinghe who gave me the opportunity to agree. Later I asked Liu Jing why she wanted to plead for you. She said that it was because she couldn't bear to see brothers fighting each other. She said her Her husband-in-law was often suppressed by his elder brother and was not successful in his official career. Her husband-in-law did not feel depressed. What was often depressed was that the siblings could not be of the same mind and the six relatives could not get along. Gradually, human nature disappeared, just like the fight between trapped animals.

The same is true for her husband's family, and the same is true for her father's family. As long as Princess Qinghe thinks that if Lord Xinsu, her brother from the same mother will also fall into house arrest and be poisoned, her heart will twist like a knife. Therefore, Princess Qinghe also I can’t bear to have you banned for life. "

Nanci lowered his eyes: "I never knew that there is a sister who cares about me like this."

"At that time, I had an impression that Sikong Yuehu loved his sister very much, even to the point of conniving. Who knew that after I was reborn, I realized that Princess Qinghe at this time was actually extremely afraid of her brother..."

"How do you say that?"

"This is what the princess told me herself. She said that the person who treated her the most kindly in the palace was Mrs. Xie. Whether it was Concubine Jian or Mr. Xinsu, each one was more severe than the other. She was afraid when she saw them and was always worried about being scolded. I am also very aware of Sikong Yuehu's poisonous tongue, so I don't find it strange. I only wonder why Concubine Jian is such a wonderful person, why she restricts her own daughter so severely."

"That's why Liu Jing's character is very different from Sikong Yugou." Nan Ci mentioned Princess Gaoping with disdain on his face.

The emperor does not only have two princesses, Sikong Yugou and Liujing, but these two princesses are the only ones born from concubines. In other words, these two princesses are of the noblest birth. Princess Gaoping is older than Princess Qinghe, but her biological mother Concubine Liu Shu was originally the concubine of Sikong Tong when she was living in the residence. Empress Yu was from a poor family. Even though Liu was later granted the title of Concubine Shu and was the first of the nine concubines in the dynasty, her family was still inferior to that of Empress Yu.

But Princess Gaoping turned out to be quite domineering.

In order to please Sikong Beichen, she personally went to Guisu Mansion and humiliated Nanci. After pleasing Sikong Beichen, she blatantly raised a bunch of faceless men and even bribed the maids around Xie Julang with the intention of using them on Xie Julang. She was drugged to satisfy her own desire to have sex, but when she failed to succeed, she became angry and falsely accused Xie Julang of wanting to rape her, which almost ruined Sikong Beichen's plan to consolidate power. Sikong Beichen also became angry, and Princess Gaoping did not end well in the end.

"Jian Bin indeed has good intentions." Ying Shu understood Nan Ci's meaning: "Have you thought through Qiao Bin's intentions?"

Since their reunion after their death, the topic between the two has never officially involved Concubine Qiao, but this is a "difficult disease" that cannot be circumvented. They know each other well and cannot avoid it for a long time. Nanci was quite sad and angry. The miserable half of his life he had experienced was caused by the love of his mother-in-law.

He couldn't actually complain about the karma he had planted for his name, even if he really complained.

"Whether it's you or Wang Qing'e who enters the palace, my mother is going to attack. She has already thought about surrendering to Mrs. Xie and letting the family depend on Chen Junxie. She thought she would destroy Chen Junxie and Langyi For the alliance between the kings, Madam Xie can only choose Pingyi Qiao, but I can become Madam Xie’s heir and win the throne with the support of Chenjun Xie.”

"Mrs. Xie will not trust Concubine Qiao."

"I know that Chen Junxie has never planned to seize the crown prince by force. The reason why he allied with King Langyi was in the hope that King Langyi could shake his father's idea of ​​establishing a legitimate heir and choose another prince. My mother's family does not have Langyi The role of the king, and I am also very clear about it, the master will not abandon the official position for personal reasons or be disloyal to the father."

"But I'm going to do something unfaithful."

"Yingshu, there are not only loyal ministers and filial sons in the world. I respect my master, but I will not tolerate being wronged again. That kind of life is too uncomfortable. Although Sikong Beichen is the prince chosen by his father, , but he is our enemy. In my previous life, I just wanted to be free and happy, away from these ugly things of power struggle. I feel worthy of heaven and earth, and have not failed my father and brother. You and I both believed that Sikong Beichen was indeed suitable. He is the king of Dayu.

Even though I was imprisoned in Guisu Mansion and tortured, I knew that Sikong Beichen hated me, but because my mother-in-law and my maternal family were indeed guilty, I was implicated, but I don't think Sikong Beichen treated me that way. I will harm the country and the country until Zuo and you gradually learn about the evil deeds he has done, how selfish and vicious he is, and he has personally destroyed the foundation of the royal family.

Such a person is truly unworthy of being a king. My father is unaware of Sikong Beichen's true nature. We should reveal his true face and let our father understand that if we still insist on handing over the country to Sikong Beichen for inheritance, it will be tantamount to personally burying the great Yu Dynasty. foundation. "

Yingshu was silent.

As an emperor, Sikong Beichen is actually not without merit. If he is as respectful to the virtuous as he appears to be, has the ability to distinguish between loyalists and traitors, and boldly promotes loyal ministers and sages, he can indeed gradually weaken the power of the powerful. , consolidate the imperial power and lay a solid foundation for the prosperous era of China.

It's a pity that Sikong Beichen is a sinister and narrow-minded person at heart. He does not have a broad mind and outstanding insights. He is suspicious, fickle, and ruthless. He is jealous of talented people, and he is even more afraid of brave generals who can be trusted and used by Sikong Beichen. Those who have seen through his ruthless nature, in order to survive, know how to restrain their sharpness to cater to the emperor, and are good at dispelling Sikong Beichen's defensiveness.

There won't be too many such people, and there is no way to save Dayu from its decline with just such a small number of people.

Therefore, the current emperor made a miscalculation and chose a prince who lacked ability. During Sikong Beichen's reign, he actually missed the golden decade of the development and growth of Dayu.

"Nanci, I know that if it was just because of personal hatred, you would advise me to stay away from the court with you. By hiding in the woods and springs, we can stay away from all suspicion and persecution. But we both know that if we Without doing anything, Sikong Beichen will surely destroy half of the country. We can escape his persecution, but we cannot escape the disaster after the building collapses. There is violence outside and poison inside. We are destined to have nowhere to escape and can only bite. Gritting teeth, try again to turn the tide."

Nanci looked around, half a pond of lush green leaves, full of bright sunshine, but a haze finally accumulated in his heart. He had a reality that he was extremely unwilling to face, which made him unable to tell Yingshu - we There will be a future like the leisurely clouds and wild cranes that I longed for in those romantic years. I will always be the one who, as long as I stand under the tree, will ensure that you will not worry about slipping or falling.

"Yingshu, I may not be able to dissuade my concubine from her ambition. I don't know if Wang Qing'e's death was related to her in her previous life. I'm very afraid that she will hurt you."

"I'm not Wang Qing'e, and I won't fall into a trap by myself." Yingshu couldn't help but laugh. Qiao Bin regarded her as her opponent, but she couldn't regard Qiao Bin as her enemy, and she couldn't use any harsh means on Qiao Bin. Regarding the concubine, if she wanted to save Nanci from his miserable fate, she had to save Nanci's biological mother and Nanci's maternal clan.

"It's not that we can't fight for the reserve position, but we can't let Concubine Qiao fight for it in her own way." Yingshu looked at Nanci's hands. In her previous life, Nanci's hands had always been clean and had never been stained with blood. In this life, she Nor will Nanci's hands be stained with blood. The struggle for power is indeed dirty. Nanci can fight for it openly and openly. He must stand in the sun, instead of hiding in the ditch and attacking like a poisonous snake. opponent.

"Don't take all the responsibilities on your own like you did in the previous life. I don't want to listen to those people who don't know the inside story anymore, using their gossip to slander you, saying that you have a vicious heart, saying that you..." Nanciyue said , the voice became deeper and deeper.

"My hands are said to be full of blood." Yingshu smiled: "The higher a person goes, the more likely he will be misunderstood by the world. As for me, these hands have indeed killed people. No matter whether those people deserve to die or not, as long as When they die, they become the weak. The world sympathizes with the weak, in fact, it is precisely because human nature has not been completely wiped out.

Nanji, we are worried about each other. We also understand that we have no way out. It is useless to think too far now. We still have to find out the evil ghost hiding in the palace first. "

The information that Yingshu and Nanci can grasp now, except for the eunuch Qi who was once judged to be the murderer, the rest are all known to the public. The murderer will not be in the insider bureau, because when the murder occurred, except for the deceased Zhang Xian, no one else Whether he is a palace servant or a good person, no one leaves the insider's bureau. If there is a problem with the insider's bureau, he can only be an accomplice, not a direct murderer.

The first evil ghost case occurred ten years ago. The deceased was a palace servant of the criminal prison. He disappeared three days before his body was found in the scrap room of the criminal prison. His eyes were gouged out, his tongue was severed, and there were pinch marks on his neck. , was to strangle the murderer to death, which was slightly different from the following murder cases... The victims in the latter murder cases were directly stabbed to death with sharp weapons.

There were no traces of the deceased's excessive struggle at the scene, but the distribution of the bloodstains showed that the scene where the corpse was found was the scene of the murder. Therefore, Yingshu preferred that the murderer was a male, because if the murderer was a female, it would be difficult to subdue a person whose life was threatened. Leaving too many traces, unless the murderer is a maidservant.

It is not that there are no maids in the palace, but the maids are actually dispatched by the emperor. For example, in Yingshu's previous life, she could not let Xuan Ying enter the palace at first. It was not until Sikong Beichen died that she finally had the power to dispatch palace maids at will. Due to her privilege, Xuanying was able to enter the palace and serve her personally. When she faced the final battle, even Xuanying led a team of maids to kill the rebels. Just because Xuanying was not with her to protect her at that time, Yingshu Only then was he persecuted by Tian Shishe.

The number of maidservants is limited, and most of them are still on duty in the emperor's bedroom. As far as Yingshu knows, the emperor only dispatches maidservants for the dispatch of the queen and three ladies. Especially at night, it is difficult for the maidservants to leave their posts without permission without being punished. Others discovered that the maidservants were loyal to the king, and even the queen did not have the courage to instruct the maidservants to commit crimes.

If the murderer is a male, then he can only be a eunuch, because the guards cannot act alone in the inner court. They must abide by the formation of ten people per formation when patrolling, and the patrol locations are also restricted, such as the inner bureau, where all the people living there are If you choose a girl, it is impossible for the guards to patrol the area of ​​​​the inner bureau, and it is even impossible for the guards to directly contact the palm master at night.

The princes now all live in Yongfu Province, and the prince is no exception. Last night, except for the fourth prince Sikong Yuehu, the rest of the princes were in their respective prince palaces. After the palace gate was unlocked, the eunuchs of the prince palace could no longer enter the inner court. Therefore, the murderer If he is not serving in the prince's palace, he must be someone who can still "activate" in the inner court at night.

The murderer committed the crime ten years ago. He cannot be a young eunuch. He should be at least twenty-five years old. Based on these conditions alone, he is consistent with the eunuch praying.

But in the entire inner court, there are many eunuchs who meet the conditions for committing crimes. It is obviously not feasible to screen murders based on these conditions alone. Otherwise, the Internal Criminal Division would not have solved the murders for a long time. Yingshu and Nanci would not be able to find a breakthrough for a while. So they would meet almost every day to discuss the case. As a result, even if the two met first with the emperor's permission, such a conspicuous "golden boy and jade girl group" still attracted a lot of attention.

It was afternoon again. Mrs. Xie woke up from her lunch break and heard two palace ladies whispering.
