Quick Transmigration: My Dark History
Chapter 75
Qin Feichuan was a little devastated.
The person in front of her is just like her name, the beauty who is as thin as a weak willow Fufeng is lowering her head and wiping her tears: "Mr. Qin, Fuliu has said it many times. It was really the second son of Qin who pushed people down with his own hands. Don't you believe Fuliu? You should trust the other people present at that time, so many pairs of eyes, could they all be wrong?"
Qin Feichuan said: "But before pushing it down, Bushan and that person..."
Fuliu said: "Yes, the two of them had a dispute over Fuliu. But Fuliu was powerless to restrain the chicken. As soon as they started fighting, Fuliu had already hidden far away. No one dared to touch it. Afraid to join in, they will fight more intensely, not to mention their own injuries.”
Qin Feichuan looked at him without saying a word.
Yes, it's true that he, who is so weak that he could fall with the wind, didn't join in, but it was because of what he said in the middle that the two young masters were completely angry, and then they worked hard, With one punch and one kick, one fell to his death and the other went to jail.
No matter how you look at it, it seems strange.
Assuming that someone behind Fuliu ordered him to do this, who was the one who instructed him?
Will it be the prince?Or is it the young master of the Ye family who is pure on the surface but is completely dark in his bones?
Is there anyone else besides the two of them?
As Qin Feichuan thought about it, his head hurt even more.
There was nothing useful to be asked from Fu Liu, so Qin Feichuan was silent for a moment, and waved his hands to send him back.
After Fuliu left, Qin Feichuan sat for a while before ordering someone to find out Fuliu's origin.On the other hand, he got up, took care of his appearance, and walked out with a heavy face, preparing to go to Wanchun Palace.
As soon as he arrived at Wanchun Palace, before he could greet King Jing, some palace servants hurried over and said loudly: "Prince Jing, that Fuliu is dead!"
Qin Feichuan was startled when he heard this.
Jiang Yan, who was watching chess with lowered eyes, raised his head and gave him a vague look.
Prince Jing narrowed his eyes and repeated, "Dead? How did he die?"
The palace man replied: "I heard that he was sent to the museum, and the person who sent him left. The old bustard went in and saw that there was a dagger stuck in the man's chest, and he had just swallowed his last breath."
——It was Qin Feichuan who sent Fuliu back to the museum.
——Qin Feichuan's men killed Fuliu?
— But why did his people kill Fuliu?
For a moment, everyone looked at Qin Feichuan, even Concubine Wan who heard the movement in the main hall came over and looked at him suspiciously.
But after seeing him come back to his senses, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said in a hoarse voice: "I... I didn't let anyone kill Fuliu."
Prince Jing said slowly: "But your people just left with their front legs, and Fu Liu's back legs died."
Qin Feichuan: "Chen, Chen... I don't know what's going on," his face was pale, and he didn't understand how it turned out to be like this in the blink of an eye, "I'm It is true that no one arranged to kill him, Prince Jing, someone must have set the blame on me! Prince Jing, you must believe me!"
As he spoke, he bent down and kowtowed "bang bang bang".
King Jing didn't say he believed it, nor did he say he didn't believe it, he just said, "I can't help you with this matter."
There are only two days until the birthday banquet, and everyone in the court is paying close attention to this juncture. What he needs to do most at this moment is to protect himself wisely, instead of taking Qin Feichuan and Qin Bushan out of this accidental murder case.
Just like what he said when he beat Qin Feichuan before, it's fine if he doesn't make a move. If he makes a move, the prince's faction will definitely make a big fuss. Don't say whether the brothers can be taken out of the case by then, I'm afraid the prince will take advantage of it. The time when the birthday banquet was about to start, the two brothers were completely convicted of murder, so they were executed immediately, even if they stayed for half a day.
Therefore, no matter whether the person who designed this murder case is the prince or not, if this matter continues, it will have nothing to do with the prince.
King Jing had already stated his position, but Qin Feichuan continued to kowtow "bang bang bang" as if he didn't hear it.
Knocking his forehead until his skin was broken and covered with blood, King Jing didn't speak any more, and focused his attention on the chessboard again, thinking about how to move the next move.
Concubine Wan still couldn't stand it, and said, "Okay, Feichuan. Jingqiu really can't help you with this matter. You might as well leave the palace quickly and go to the Nanfeng Hall to see if there is anything left inside. .”
A word to awaken the dreamer.
Qin Feichuan raised his face as if he had been pardoned, glanced at Concubine Wan gratefully, then kowtowed heavily, thanked the empress, and then hurriedly got up to leave the palace.
But before he left, he heard the young master who had been silent all this time read softly: "This is all provocative to Xiao Qiang, and the disaster spreads all over the world."
King Jing said: "...What do you mean by that?"
The young master replied: "The misfortune is Xiao Qiang, there are thieves in the house."
Qin Feichuan paused for a moment, then left without looking back.
As soon as Qin Feichuan left, Concubine Wan immediately asked, "Who do you mean the internal thief, Feichuan?"
"Whoever the empress thinks, that's who." Jiang Yan slowly dropped a chess piece, which was sealing King Jing's path, "I just recited such an ancient Chinese sentence by mouth, the empress does not need to take it to heart. .”
Concubine Wan said: "How can you not take it to heart..."
If Qin Feichuan is really an insider, then Qin Bushan's murder and imprisonment today may have been planned by him alone?
If his plan succeeds, it will not only involve the future of Prince Jing's faction, but also Prince Jing's secret control over the court. What's more, even the plans arranged by Emperor Jing will come to naught.
In this way, how can you not take it to heart?
The more Concubine Wan thought about it, the more she felt that there was something strange about Qin Feichuan.
The vigilance against Qin Feichuan in her heart suddenly rose to the extreme, and she asked Jiang Yan without thinking: "What can you do to solve today's matter?"
Jiang Yan said: "Yes."
Concubine Wan asked: "What method? Let's talk about it."
Jiang Yan did not reply immediately.
Now it was his turn to make a move, he lowered his eyes, and the chess piece made of black jade "slapped" out of his hands, and the game was completely won.
Prince Jing watched and sighed, "I lost."
Concubine Wan was anxiously waiting for Jiang Yan to reply, and when she heard King Jing sigh, she inadvertently looked down and saw that the black and white colors on the chessboard were intricate, as if the two armies were facing each other, and the fighting was extremely brutal, but even she could tell at a glance that this game The chess seems to reflect his sentence just now, "When there is a disaster, there are thieves at home", and the chess moves are extremely exciting.
She was still studying, and she heard Jiang Yan say four words slowly.
"The sound hits the west."
……
Just as Qin Feichuan was gloomyly looking at the corpse in Fuliu's room, trying to find something that had nothing to do with him, the subordinate who had been guarding the door came in and reported in a low voice, "Something happened in the East Palace."
"Huh? What happened?"
"The side concubine is gone."
Qin Feichuan didn't pay attention at first.
After a breath, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes flickering non-stop.
Concubine is gone...
Concubine dead?
This is a big deal!
He stood up and walked out of the room.
Sure enough, there were still many officers and soldiers surrounding the lobby just now, but there were not many people left at this time.
Before he went downstairs, he heard the people below say: "What happened in the palace, the side concubine, how can I say that it's gone?"
The side concubine mentioned here was pointed out to the prince by His Majesty in the last palace banquet.
Although not as talented as Ye Qing and Shi Ru, there is something refreshing and special about him. Therefore, when His Majesty rolled his name, the Crown Prince was very obedient. In time, people almost overwhelmed the princess.
"Hey, what else can there be? It's not that the one in the Eastern Palace is looking for freshness. He insisted on making troubles in the pond during the day, but he didn't expect that the side concubine couldn't use water. He made a lot of noise in the middle, tossing people until they drowned. .”
"Drowning? Can't be saved?"
"How did you get saved? The crown prince wants to play, who dares to wait in front of him? Besides, he was so excited at the time that he couldn't stop at all. When he stopped, the side concubine would have died a long time ago."
"Hiss...then, isn't this just..."
"Shh, walls have ears, be careful what you say."
Hearing this, Qin Feichuan frowned again.
wrong.
The crown prince and concubine had quarreled in the water several times before, why did something happen today?
And it just so happened that someone from the government was coming to take him to the yamen after he saw the corpse...
He thought of something, his expression became serious, he left Nanfeng Pavilion quickly, and entered the palace by car.
He rushed to the Wanchun Palace at the fastest speed, and after breaking into the side hall, he didn't even take a breath, and immediately asked, "You did it?"
Jiang Yan who was asked was eating medicinal food.
The delicate and frail young master was eating the medicinal food lukewarmly, chewing slowly, without raising his head when he heard the words, and ignoring others at all.
When he finally finished chewing and swallowing the last bite, Qin Feichuan, who had been in a hurry just now, had already recovered, found a stool by himself and sat down, waiting patiently for him to speak.
He put down the bowl, took the kerchief from Qianxiang's hand and wiped the corners of his lips, then washed his hands in the sink, and then looked at Qin Feichuan.
"What did I do?" he asked.
Qin Feichuan said: "The concubine of the Eastern Palace..."
"I didn't do it." He denied, "It was Madam Wanfei. If you want to thank her, thank her."
"What do you mean?"
Qin Feichuan looked at him in surprise.
Although Concubine Wan had some brains, she would never use her scheming on someone like the Crown Prince and Concubine who had nothing to do with Prince Jing.
Neither will Prince Jing.
In today's Wanchun Palace, the only person who knows, dares to do, and has the ability to do it is the person in front of him.
Jiang Yan said slowly: "The matter of the side concubine was planned by the concubine Wan." He said, "The person you should thank is her, not me."
Qin Feichuan said: "Impossible. Your Majesty will never do such a thing."
Jiang Yan smiled, gentle and helpless: "It was really Concubine Wan who did it. If you don't believe it, you can ask her?"
Qin Feichuan really went to the main hall to ask people.
In the main hall, Concubine Wan was stretching her fingers, asking the maid to dye her nails.
As if she had expected Qin Feichuan to come, she closed her eyes and said lazily, "I did it. Why, I saved you and your brother, aren't you satisfied?"
"...I'm very satisfied," Qin Feichuan knelt down not far from her, "Thank you for your help."
Concubine Wan lazily said: "Forget it this time. You have to be more careful in what you do in the future. Today is no different from the past. If we make a wrong step, we will lose everything—whether it is you or Bengong, none of us can afford to lose."
Qin Feichuan said: "Yes, I understand, thank you for your teaching."
Then one more obeisance, then you have to leave.
But Concubine Wan said: "Wait, I have something I want you to bring to Young Master Ye."
So Qin Feichuan waited for a while, and took two packs of tea bricks from the maid.
The tea bricks are very heavy, and the two packs are stacked together, which is heavy.
"Young master likes to drink black tea." The young woman who looked like a [-]-year-old girl flipped through the nails that had been dyed by Kodan, and said casually, "This is the Qimen black tea that just came as a tribute. Said that this palace has accepted his kindness."
After listening to Qin Feichuan, he thought that the matter of the side concubine really came from Ye Qing's plan.
Holding the tea bricks, he walked towards the side hall.
When they arrived at the side hall, they saw Prince Jing coming over again at some point.
Young Master Ye had already fallen asleep at the moment, the window not far away was only opened a thin crack, and Prince Jing was sitting by that crack, reading a book.Seeing Qin Feichuan coming, he looked up, raised his eyebrows slightly, and made a puzzled expression.
Qin Feichuan walked over and said in a low voice, "It was sent to the young master by the empress."
King Jing said, "What is it, tea?"
Qin Feichuan said: "The Qimen black tea is the tribute."
Keemun black tea?
Just as King Jing wanted to say it, let it go, then he remembered the incident that the young master drank tea for the first time in the main hall a long time ago, and he vomited blood after drinking it.
So he said: "Take apart and cook a pot, I will taste it first."
Qin Feichuan unpacked and made tea as he said.
The tea was indeed a good tribute, and the tangy aroma woke up Jiang Yan who was sleeping.
He rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed, yawned and asked if it was Qimen black tea, otherwise how could it be so fragrant.
Seeing that he seemed to have a dog's nose, and his sense of smell was extremely sensitive, King Jing sighed dotingly: "Is this calling you back from Duke Zhou?"
Jiang Yan said: "Thirsty."
Qin Feichuan accepted his life-saving grace and was about to thank him properly when he heard that he was about to bring him the brewed tea when he was stopped by King Jing.
Prince Jing put the silver needle that had just been taken by someone into the teacup, took it out after a while, and saw that the tip of the silver needle had already turned black in a large area.
There is poison in the tea.
Qin Feichuan's complexion changed when he saw this: "I only brought the tea leaves from my mother, and I definitely didn't poison it."
King Jing said, "Of course I know it's not you."
Jiang Yan said at this time: "Before, every time I vomited blood in the main hall, I either drank tea or ate something."
Prince Jing said: "...Yes."
Jiang Yandao: "So it was my mother who poisoned me?" He lowered his eyes, looking as if he was going to sleep again, but what he said made King Jing and Qin Feichuan freeze suddenly, "My sister The reason why I agreed to marry His Highness the Third Prince is because the empress said that she can get the medicine to detoxify me."
But since he entered Wanchun Palace, she has been poisoning him?
What is this for?
He thought, sniffing the aroma of black tea and fell asleep again.
There are only two people left, you look at me and I look at you, their expressions are extremely complicated.
……
The matter of the prince and side concubine came from behind, and the matter of Qin Bushan and Qin Feichuan was almost turned into a minor matter, and it was completely subsided before it caused a big storm.
And because Concubine Wan was behind the scenes, the Prince originally wanted to suppress the side concubine's affairs, but in the end, His Majesty still found out.
The emperor, who was still happily waiting for the birthday banquet to start, suddenly became sullen. Although he didn't speak, he looked at the prince like a storm, which made the prince break out in cold sweat, and the outermost layer of clothes was all wet. Getting soaked.
But the emperor still felt sorry for his son, and finally said slowly: "That's all for today, I will teach you a lesson in two days."
This is the tacit consent of the prince to suppress the matter.
So finally came the day of the birthday, in order to win the magnanimity of the father, the prince specially presented the birthday gift first.
It was the Flying Stone that Concubine Wan mentioned when she first tested Jiang Yan.
As for King Jing, what he gave was also the golden statue of the Western Regions mentioned that day.
Comparing the two birthday gifts, just as Jiang Yan said at the time, how could His Majesty not know what the prince thinks?
The prince spent so much effort to get such a stone that can't even be regarded as a fake rock. Does his majesty know whether he has filial piety to his father, if he has, and how much he occupies?
The emperor was silent, he glanced at the prince, and then at Prince Jing, his eyes were so deep that no one could see what he was thinking.
After the civil and military officials all offered their birthday presents, the emperor gave an order, singing and dancing immediately, everyone finally started toasting and eating, and the whole hall suddenly became lively.
During the period, whether intentionally or not, many people went to toast the prince.
You have a cup, I have a cup, after you persuaded me, I continued to persuade, not long after, the prince's face turned red from drinking, and his eyes gradually blurred.
The princess sitting next to him faintly felt that something was wrong, and wanted to speak again and again, but was preempted by others, so that when the emperor asked the prince if today's wine was good, the princess felt a little bit in her heart, and when she was done thinking about it, she wanted to problem occurs.
Sure enough, the crown prince who was so drunk did not even think about it: "The tribute wine I specially selected is of course delicious!"
"..."
The prince's words made the hall quiet.
Everyone looked at the drunken prince in shock.
The queen even snapped off her nails.
She was frightened and wondered what His Majesty was going to ask, whether the Crown Prince would speak wild words again, and at the same time secretly hated how the Crown Princess did things, knowing that the Crown Prince likes to mess around when drunk, why didn't she stop him?
How did she know that the Crown Princess was speechless at this time.
Seeing that the emperor's eyes became deeper and deeper, as if he could devour people, making people dare not even look at him, the princess almost used all the courage in her life to bite the bullet and said: "Father, Your Highness, he, he Drunk, just talking nonsense, Father, don't take it seriously."
The emperor said leisurely: "Nonsense? Isn't there a saying called telling the truth after drinking?"
The princess said: "Yes... there is such a saying. But father, this matter has to be separated. His Highness always likes to mess around when he is drunk. He was teasing you just now, you..."
"Who is making a fool of yourself!" The prince yelled suddenly, "What I said is so eloquent, there is no reason to make a fool of it!"
"..."
The emperor looked at him silently, and then chuckled lightly.
The princess could not speak another word.
She was ashamed.
She tugged at the prince and plopped down on his knees.
Unexpectedly, the crown prince didn't cooperate, he was forced to get up by his sleeves, and he didn't forget to pick up the crown princess from the ground, and while picking it up, he muttered: "Why kneel, I'm right beside you, if you don't kneel!" I, who do you kneel to?"
The princess wanted to tell him so much, I kneel down to your father, if you don't kneel now, you will regret it when you wake up.
But the fact is that she couldn't say a word, and she was not as strong as the prince, so she had to stand up with the prince's strength, and then pressed the prince back to the ground to kneel, and then the prince muttered When she wanted to get up, she felt exhausted and desperate, so she simply ignored the prince and knelt alone, no matter how much the prince pulled her, she would not move.
After all, he drank too much, he still had the strength to get up from the ground for the first two times, and he was able to pull the princess up by the way, but after two or three times, the prince sat on the ground with his legs wide open, motionless.
He panted and asked the princess: "What happened to you today, who made you angry? Just tell me, and I will help you out."
At this time, the princess was already kneeling on the ground, and she didn't lift her head when she heard the words.
The prince looked at it and felt more and more strange: "What's wrong with you? Tell me, I will make the decision for you."
"You call yourself Zhen?" A voice suddenly asked from above, "What about me, what do you think I should call myself?"
The prince subconsciously said: "In front of me, of course you have to call yourself a humble official or grassroots!"
As he said that, Xu Shi felt that he was the Nine-Five Supreme, how dare someone talk on top of his head, he immediately raised his head and squinted to look upwards.
I saw the interrogator standing in front of me. Because of the light behind him, I couldn't see the specific expression. I only knew that noble demeanor was really rare in the world, and he looked more like an emperor than himself.
The prince couldn't help asking: "Who are you, are you my prime minister, or my great general?"
The person above said slowly: "I... am your father."
my dad?
The prince tilted his head and thought for a moment.
He was just about to say that my father died a long time ago, and you are pretending, but he inadvertently saw the face of the man above him, and he was instantly sober as if enlightened.
His face suddenly turned pale.
"Father, royal father..."
The wine is completely awake, but he would rather not wake up at all: "My son, my son..."
He couldn't even say a whole sentence, he hastily adjusted his posture and knelt down, the wine he just drank turned into cold sweat and rushed out from all parts of his body, he dared to say that he had never been so scared in his life.
He knelt tremblingly, like falling into an ice cellar.
However, what he did not expect was that his father did not punish him.
He didn't even say a word of lesson, just said: "Get up."
Then without saying a word, he left with a flick of his sleeves.
Although the emperor left, the civil and military officials present still kept their mouths tightly shut, not daring to say a single word.
After all, even a blind person can tell that His Majesty is disappointed with the Crown Prince.
Originally, the position of the crown prince has not yet been settled, but today's disturbance, I am afraid that the crown prince will no longer have the hope of being the crown prince.
The crown prince was abandoned, and the only one who is expected to be crowned prince is...
Some people are already ready to move, and decided to vote for another master after today.
The prince also understood this truth.
A court lady came forward to help him up, but he pushed it away and got up from the ground by himself.
In a blink of an eye, seeing the princess was still kneeling on the ground, he wanted to vent his anger, why didn't he stop him if he wanted to scold her, but he still had an impression of what happened just now, knowing that he was completely plotted by his father, she was not his father at all. The emperor's opponent could only sigh bitterly at the moment, and bent down to reach out to the princess.
"It's cold on the ground, get up quickly," he said, "don't let them make fun of you."
Unexpectedly, the princess ignored his hand and got up by herself.
This was the first time she didn't give him face in front of others.
She patted her skirt, helped her messy bun, and said in a cold voice: "I've been laughed at." She said so, but her expression was very calm, "I would like to advise Your Highness, don't drink alcohol from now on , otherwise if the incident just now happens again, His Highness will lose the emperor's heart, and the concubine will also suffer."
After speaking, he took the maid and left without even saying a word to the queen.
Watching the concubine leave with anger, the prince stood there for a long while, then sighed again.
Seeing that the prince was still ambitious and full of ambitions fifteen minutes ago, he lost his composure to this point after a quarter of an hour. The queen who wanted to persuade him did not speak after all, but just sat there and secretly made up her mind.
After so long, it is almost time.
……
a few days later.
Jiang Yan was sitting under a tree reading a book, and Qian Xiang, who had just returned from outside the palace, stood beside him, recounting to him one by one the news he heard outside the palace.
"Recently there have been more rumors in Beijing, saying that His Majesty intends to make Prince Jing the heir apparent." Qian Xiang said softly, "It is also said that His Majesty has ordered the Qin Tianjian to calculate the auspicious day for the sacrifice, and the Ministry of Rites is already preparing for it."
Jiang Yan didn't speak, just turned a page in the book in his hand.
Sure enough, Qian Xiang said again: "My servant checked, this rumor was spread by the Empress, with the intention of destroying King Jing's name as a protector god among the common people, so that King Jing can be eliminated from the battle for the heir apparent."
Jiang Yan still didn't speak, and slowly stroked the words on the book with his fingertips.
Qian Xiang continued: "But as far as I know, Prince Jing doesn't seem to be planning to take any action on this..."
"Of course he doesn't intend to take it." Jiang Yan finally said, "He wishes for this in his heart."
Qian Xiang asked, "Why?"
Jiang Yandao: "Sooner or later, he will be like me, throwing away his womanhood. The empress's current behavior is actually opening the way for him in advance."
Qian Xiang suddenly realized: "Then young master, are we just watching the fire from the other side?"
"of course not."
"Then what does the young master need slaves for?"
"Changing clothes for me, I'm going to see the queen."
"See what the queen is doing?"
"Meet the queen, and draw from the bottom of the pot."
……
About 23 years ago, a shocking event happened in the palace.
People at the time were very interested in that big event, but no one dared to mention the civet cat in exchange for the prince.
In the harem at that time, the queen was waiting to give birth, the noble concubine was pregnant, and the concubine Wan was waiting to give birth.
The three high-ranking concubines are all pregnant with the dragon seed, and it depends on who is the first to give birth to the eldest son of the emperor, so that the mother is more expensive according to the son, and enjoys more power.
It is also a coincidence among coincidences. The imperial concubine has just passed the most dangerous period, and her fetal position has gradually stabilized. After the imperial doctor diagnosed her pulse, she said that as long as she takes care of her properly, she is expected to give birth to a princess in a few months; Childbirth, and when the imperial concubine got off the bed after receiving the Ping'an pulse, both gave birth to a Lin'er.
In this way, the queen and concubine Wan were almost in no particular order, and gave birth to two princes at the same time.
The time difference between these times is really small, and everyone calculated for a while, but they couldn't figure it out.In the end, the most respected person pointed at one of the numbers casually, and then reported to the emperor that the concubine Wan gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, and the empress gave birth to the second prince.
Since ancient times, the position of the Eastern Palace has always been established by the eldest son, and there are very few independent ones. Therefore, even though Concubine Wan gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, her son still cannot be established as the crown prince.
The fact that the son is not the prince makes Concubine Wan's heart bleed.
Concubine Wan has always been ambitious.
Not only does she want her son to be a prince, but she also wants to be a queen. When His Majesty dies, she can become the empress dowager, the real mother of the world.
It's just that things didn't go the way she wanted.
But fortunately, she had anticipated this and was prepared for it.
So when the emperor over there learned that the queen had given birth to a son following Concubine Wan, news came from here that there was another one in Concubine Wan's belly.
——Where did this extra child come from?
—Of course it came from other concubines.
Because of this extra child, the imperial physician was sent away. The imperial concubine who was about to visit the queen was robbed on the way, and the unformed child who was only four months old in her womb was cut out by life.
Bleeding all over the place.
In the season of heavy snow, the sky and the earth are icy cold, the imperial concubine's eyes are tightly open, and she looks like a ghost.
The imperial concubine is pregnant with a daughter.
After the fuzzy little ball of flesh and blood was sent to the Wanchun Palace, the midwife took the basket without looking at it, and put it aside casually, and then announced that the second child born to Concubine Wan was a daughter, the eldest princess.
In this way, the eldest son of the emperor and the eldest princess were all accepted by Concubine Wan, and she became a veritable winner.
However, she still has a way to go.
So after more than 20 years, the plan of changing the civet cat for the prince, which has been kept secret by countless people, started under Wanfei's signal.
The emperor got two princes and a princess, and it was a time of joy, but unexpectedly, there were assassins in the palace. They regarded the imperial army as air, and everyone was like entering a land without people, so they took all three children away. go.
The emperor was furious.
It is said that when the emperor was furious, millions of corpses were buried, and the emperor gave an order, and the officers and soldiers of the entire capital were fully operational, and the whereabouts of the three highnesses were found in the fastest time.
The emperor rushed over in person.
Of the three children who were taken away, only one is still alive at this moment, and the other two have turned into a tangled mass of flesh and blood, being torn and devoured by wild dogs.
Seeing that the emperor's eyes were red, the assassins who completed the mission committed suicide without leaving any news.
The emperor, who was extremely grief-stricken, had no choice but to take the second prince who was still alive back to the palace.
In this way, the eldest prince died, and the eldest princess died, and at the same time, some palace officials came to report that the noble concubine had a miscarriage and lost the second princess in the snow.
Only one of the four children was still alive. The day of the Son of Heaven could be described as great joy and great sorrow, with great ups and downs. Even though he has gone through countless storms and waves, he is still a little dazed.
In the end, someone from Wanchun Palace came to announce the good news, saying that the assassin had actually carried the wrong child, and that the child carried away by the assassin was actually not the eldest princess, but a newborn puppy.
The eldest princess is still healthy and safe in Wanchun Palace.
The emperor heard this, and before he had time to rejoice, he heard people say that Concubine Wan gave birth to another son, who was the third prince.
The emperor was dumbfounded on the spot.
The imperial physician said before that Concubine Wan was only pregnant with one princess, and it was fine if she gave birth to an extra princess in the morning. How can she give birth to another prince now?
Everyone, including the emperor, felt strange, and went to Wanchun Palace to visit Concubine Wan.
This time, they all broke out in a cold sweat.
I saw Concubine Wan, who had just given birth, with a pale face, leaning against the head of the bed, holding a civet cat in her arms and coaxing softly...
She coaxed the civet cat, and said softly: "I am your mother. The third prince, my son, you are just like your brother, you are a good baby of your mother, aren't you?"
Concubine Wan is crazy.
The emperor was speechless.
After a moment of silence in front of the Wanchun Palace, the emperor finally ordered that no one should mention what happened today.
Especially the eldest prince and the second princess were even listed as forbidden words, and whoever dared to speak of it would be expected to lose their heads.
After such instructions, facing the terrified queen, the disillusioned concubine, and the crazy concubine Wan, the emperor locked himself in the imperial study for a whole night, and the next day he went up to the court to personally draw up the imperial decree and establish the second prince. As the prince, adopt the eldest princess to the noble concubine, and at the same time adopt a baby from the clan to become the third prince for Concubine Wan.
Only then did the three concubines have their own heirs.
only……
"The prince is not your child."
In the huge palace, the two of them sat and stood one by one, making the room quite empty and lonely.
The standing boy in plain shirt smiled and said: "Since it is not your child, why do you pave the way for him? You are not afraid that he will become a white-eyed wolf in the future and bite you back?"
The queen who was sitting in the high position clenched her teeth and refused to reply.
The young man continued: "Who is your child and who should you help? I feel that you should know it well, don't you?"
The queen was shocked.
How can you not know what you know?
Her child, obviously, obviously...
She endured it for 23 years, a full 23 years!
For, isn't it her child?
The teeth were almost crushed, the woman's face was pale, and tears slowly overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
After a long time, she finally nodded slightly.
"Okay. I promise you."
The young man also smiled when he heard the words: "This can't be better."
The conversation between the two ended here.
Jiang Yan suppressed his smile, and bowed down to the queen: "Your Majesty, please rest, and I will take my leave first."
The Queen watched him leave.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and the shadow cast by the young man on the ground was extremely vivid. When she looked closely, her eyes would burn in a trance.
She didn't raise her hand to cover her face until she could no longer see that shadow, and cried slowly.
"My child, my child..."
"Mother will definitely help you take back what should belong to you..."
"My child...Jing Qiu..."
——Only the second princess died that year.
——The eldest prince was the only one born to Concubine Wan back then.
During the process of being kidnapped by the assassin, the real first prince turned into the second prince, who was established as a crown prince and raised under the name of the empress; the real second prince was disguised as the eldest princess, raised by the noble concubine, named King Jing, and the man disguised himself as a woman 23 years long.
As for the third prince, it was completely imagined by Concubine Wan and did not exist.
As for the son of the concubine Wan and the son of the queen, who is the elder of the two, in fact, it was the son of the queen who took the lead at the beginning, and he was the eldest prince.
That is to say-
Going around, coming and going, King Jing, Ruan Jingqiu, is the real queen's son, the real eldest prince.
It is the real order of heaven, that is, longevity and prosperity.
……
The queen is indeed a person who keeps her promises.
The rumors about King Jing being made the heir apparent had only been circulating in Beijing for two days, and then there was a new rumor in the palace, saying that the empress suspects that the side concubine was actually killed by the prince, and the prince must give an explanation.
But how can the prince give an explanation?
So the mother and son started arguing, and it was useless for others to try to persuade them to fight.
In the end, the trouble came in front of the emperor. The emperor, who was already disappointed in the prince, was upset by the trouble. He simply punished him and ordered the queen to copy one hundred volumes of Buddhist scriptures.
The prince fell down in anger on the spot.
As soon as the news spread, the Prince's faction immediately scattered in disorder, and those who voted for the Ming Lord and other Ming Lords, but after a few days, those who were still standing in the Eastern Palace faction were deserted.
Prince Jing quietly won a big victory.
The prince was grounded, and some of his positions were removed. The emperor thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to give it a go, and let Prince Jing give it a try.
So half a year later, the crown prince finally got out of the East Palace, but the one who greeted him was King Jing who took his place and handled many things that should have been handled by him beautifully and cleanly.
Even the Son of Heaven praised King Jing several times in front of the courtiers, and it seemed that he really wanted to make Prince Jing the heir apparent in his words.
The emperor's intention made King Jing famous for a while, and he was even more supportive among the common people, which laid an excellent foundation for him to return to his true identity in the future.
If this is the case, two years later, the emperor suddenly became seriously ill and often fell into a coma, unable to control the government.Later, King Jing was established as the crown prince, and even the will was written, everything was ready, only the east wind was owed.
The person in front of her is just like her name, the beauty who is as thin as a weak willow Fufeng is lowering her head and wiping her tears: "Mr. Qin, Fuliu has said it many times. It was really the second son of Qin who pushed people down with his own hands. Don't you believe Fuliu? You should trust the other people present at that time, so many pairs of eyes, could they all be wrong?"
Qin Feichuan said: "But before pushing it down, Bushan and that person..."
Fuliu said: "Yes, the two of them had a dispute over Fuliu. But Fuliu was powerless to restrain the chicken. As soon as they started fighting, Fuliu had already hidden far away. No one dared to touch it. Afraid to join in, they will fight more intensely, not to mention their own injuries.”
Qin Feichuan looked at him without saying a word.
Yes, it's true that he, who is so weak that he could fall with the wind, didn't join in, but it was because of what he said in the middle that the two young masters were completely angry, and then they worked hard, With one punch and one kick, one fell to his death and the other went to jail.
No matter how you look at it, it seems strange.
Assuming that someone behind Fuliu ordered him to do this, who was the one who instructed him?
Will it be the prince?Or is it the young master of the Ye family who is pure on the surface but is completely dark in his bones?
Is there anyone else besides the two of them?
As Qin Feichuan thought about it, his head hurt even more.
There was nothing useful to be asked from Fu Liu, so Qin Feichuan was silent for a moment, and waved his hands to send him back.
After Fuliu left, Qin Feichuan sat for a while before ordering someone to find out Fuliu's origin.On the other hand, he got up, took care of his appearance, and walked out with a heavy face, preparing to go to Wanchun Palace.
As soon as he arrived at Wanchun Palace, before he could greet King Jing, some palace servants hurried over and said loudly: "Prince Jing, that Fuliu is dead!"
Qin Feichuan was startled when he heard this.
Jiang Yan, who was watching chess with lowered eyes, raised his head and gave him a vague look.
Prince Jing narrowed his eyes and repeated, "Dead? How did he die?"
The palace man replied: "I heard that he was sent to the museum, and the person who sent him left. The old bustard went in and saw that there was a dagger stuck in the man's chest, and he had just swallowed his last breath."
——It was Qin Feichuan who sent Fuliu back to the museum.
——Qin Feichuan's men killed Fuliu?
— But why did his people kill Fuliu?
For a moment, everyone looked at Qin Feichuan, even Concubine Wan who heard the movement in the main hall came over and looked at him suspiciously.
But after seeing him come back to his senses, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said in a hoarse voice: "I... I didn't let anyone kill Fuliu."
Prince Jing said slowly: "But your people just left with their front legs, and Fu Liu's back legs died."
Qin Feichuan: "Chen, Chen... I don't know what's going on," his face was pale, and he didn't understand how it turned out to be like this in the blink of an eye, "I'm It is true that no one arranged to kill him, Prince Jing, someone must have set the blame on me! Prince Jing, you must believe me!"
As he spoke, he bent down and kowtowed "bang bang bang".
King Jing didn't say he believed it, nor did he say he didn't believe it, he just said, "I can't help you with this matter."
There are only two days until the birthday banquet, and everyone in the court is paying close attention to this juncture. What he needs to do most at this moment is to protect himself wisely, instead of taking Qin Feichuan and Qin Bushan out of this accidental murder case.
Just like what he said when he beat Qin Feichuan before, it's fine if he doesn't make a move. If he makes a move, the prince's faction will definitely make a big fuss. Don't say whether the brothers can be taken out of the case by then, I'm afraid the prince will take advantage of it. The time when the birthday banquet was about to start, the two brothers were completely convicted of murder, so they were executed immediately, even if they stayed for half a day.
Therefore, no matter whether the person who designed this murder case is the prince or not, if this matter continues, it will have nothing to do with the prince.
King Jing had already stated his position, but Qin Feichuan continued to kowtow "bang bang bang" as if he didn't hear it.
Knocking his forehead until his skin was broken and covered with blood, King Jing didn't speak any more, and focused his attention on the chessboard again, thinking about how to move the next move.
Concubine Wan still couldn't stand it, and said, "Okay, Feichuan. Jingqiu really can't help you with this matter. You might as well leave the palace quickly and go to the Nanfeng Hall to see if there is anything left inside. .”
A word to awaken the dreamer.
Qin Feichuan raised his face as if he had been pardoned, glanced at Concubine Wan gratefully, then kowtowed heavily, thanked the empress, and then hurriedly got up to leave the palace.
But before he left, he heard the young master who had been silent all this time read softly: "This is all provocative to Xiao Qiang, and the disaster spreads all over the world."
King Jing said: "...What do you mean by that?"
The young master replied: "The misfortune is Xiao Qiang, there are thieves in the house."
Qin Feichuan paused for a moment, then left without looking back.
As soon as Qin Feichuan left, Concubine Wan immediately asked, "Who do you mean the internal thief, Feichuan?"
"Whoever the empress thinks, that's who." Jiang Yan slowly dropped a chess piece, which was sealing King Jing's path, "I just recited such an ancient Chinese sentence by mouth, the empress does not need to take it to heart. .”
Concubine Wan said: "How can you not take it to heart..."
If Qin Feichuan is really an insider, then Qin Bushan's murder and imprisonment today may have been planned by him alone?
If his plan succeeds, it will not only involve the future of Prince Jing's faction, but also Prince Jing's secret control over the court. What's more, even the plans arranged by Emperor Jing will come to naught.
In this way, how can you not take it to heart?
The more Concubine Wan thought about it, the more she felt that there was something strange about Qin Feichuan.
The vigilance against Qin Feichuan in her heart suddenly rose to the extreme, and she asked Jiang Yan without thinking: "What can you do to solve today's matter?"
Jiang Yan said: "Yes."
Concubine Wan asked: "What method? Let's talk about it."
Jiang Yan did not reply immediately.
Now it was his turn to make a move, he lowered his eyes, and the chess piece made of black jade "slapped" out of his hands, and the game was completely won.
Prince Jing watched and sighed, "I lost."
Concubine Wan was anxiously waiting for Jiang Yan to reply, and when she heard King Jing sigh, she inadvertently looked down and saw that the black and white colors on the chessboard were intricate, as if the two armies were facing each other, and the fighting was extremely brutal, but even she could tell at a glance that this game The chess seems to reflect his sentence just now, "When there is a disaster, there are thieves at home", and the chess moves are extremely exciting.
She was still studying, and she heard Jiang Yan say four words slowly.
"The sound hits the west."
……
Just as Qin Feichuan was gloomyly looking at the corpse in Fuliu's room, trying to find something that had nothing to do with him, the subordinate who had been guarding the door came in and reported in a low voice, "Something happened in the East Palace."
"Huh? What happened?"
"The side concubine is gone."
Qin Feichuan didn't pay attention at first.
After a breath, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes flickering non-stop.
Concubine is gone...
Concubine dead?
This is a big deal!
He stood up and walked out of the room.
Sure enough, there were still many officers and soldiers surrounding the lobby just now, but there were not many people left at this time.
Before he went downstairs, he heard the people below say: "What happened in the palace, the side concubine, how can I say that it's gone?"
The side concubine mentioned here was pointed out to the prince by His Majesty in the last palace banquet.
Although not as talented as Ye Qing and Shi Ru, there is something refreshing and special about him. Therefore, when His Majesty rolled his name, the Crown Prince was very obedient. In time, people almost overwhelmed the princess.
"Hey, what else can there be? It's not that the one in the Eastern Palace is looking for freshness. He insisted on making troubles in the pond during the day, but he didn't expect that the side concubine couldn't use water. He made a lot of noise in the middle, tossing people until they drowned. .”
"Drowning? Can't be saved?"
"How did you get saved? The crown prince wants to play, who dares to wait in front of him? Besides, he was so excited at the time that he couldn't stop at all. When he stopped, the side concubine would have died a long time ago."
"Hiss...then, isn't this just..."
"Shh, walls have ears, be careful what you say."
Hearing this, Qin Feichuan frowned again.
wrong.
The crown prince and concubine had quarreled in the water several times before, why did something happen today?
And it just so happened that someone from the government was coming to take him to the yamen after he saw the corpse...
He thought of something, his expression became serious, he left Nanfeng Pavilion quickly, and entered the palace by car.
He rushed to the Wanchun Palace at the fastest speed, and after breaking into the side hall, he didn't even take a breath, and immediately asked, "You did it?"
Jiang Yan who was asked was eating medicinal food.
The delicate and frail young master was eating the medicinal food lukewarmly, chewing slowly, without raising his head when he heard the words, and ignoring others at all.
When he finally finished chewing and swallowing the last bite, Qin Feichuan, who had been in a hurry just now, had already recovered, found a stool by himself and sat down, waiting patiently for him to speak.
He put down the bowl, took the kerchief from Qianxiang's hand and wiped the corners of his lips, then washed his hands in the sink, and then looked at Qin Feichuan.
"What did I do?" he asked.
Qin Feichuan said: "The concubine of the Eastern Palace..."
"I didn't do it." He denied, "It was Madam Wanfei. If you want to thank her, thank her."
"What do you mean?"
Qin Feichuan looked at him in surprise.
Although Concubine Wan had some brains, she would never use her scheming on someone like the Crown Prince and Concubine who had nothing to do with Prince Jing.
Neither will Prince Jing.
In today's Wanchun Palace, the only person who knows, dares to do, and has the ability to do it is the person in front of him.
Jiang Yan said slowly: "The matter of the side concubine was planned by the concubine Wan." He said, "The person you should thank is her, not me."
Qin Feichuan said: "Impossible. Your Majesty will never do such a thing."
Jiang Yan smiled, gentle and helpless: "It was really Concubine Wan who did it. If you don't believe it, you can ask her?"
Qin Feichuan really went to the main hall to ask people.
In the main hall, Concubine Wan was stretching her fingers, asking the maid to dye her nails.
As if she had expected Qin Feichuan to come, she closed her eyes and said lazily, "I did it. Why, I saved you and your brother, aren't you satisfied?"
"...I'm very satisfied," Qin Feichuan knelt down not far from her, "Thank you for your help."
Concubine Wan lazily said: "Forget it this time. You have to be more careful in what you do in the future. Today is no different from the past. If we make a wrong step, we will lose everything—whether it is you or Bengong, none of us can afford to lose."
Qin Feichuan said: "Yes, I understand, thank you for your teaching."
Then one more obeisance, then you have to leave.
But Concubine Wan said: "Wait, I have something I want you to bring to Young Master Ye."
So Qin Feichuan waited for a while, and took two packs of tea bricks from the maid.
The tea bricks are very heavy, and the two packs are stacked together, which is heavy.
"Young master likes to drink black tea." The young woman who looked like a [-]-year-old girl flipped through the nails that had been dyed by Kodan, and said casually, "This is the Qimen black tea that just came as a tribute. Said that this palace has accepted his kindness."
After listening to Qin Feichuan, he thought that the matter of the side concubine really came from Ye Qing's plan.
Holding the tea bricks, he walked towards the side hall.
When they arrived at the side hall, they saw Prince Jing coming over again at some point.
Young Master Ye had already fallen asleep at the moment, the window not far away was only opened a thin crack, and Prince Jing was sitting by that crack, reading a book.Seeing Qin Feichuan coming, he looked up, raised his eyebrows slightly, and made a puzzled expression.
Qin Feichuan walked over and said in a low voice, "It was sent to the young master by the empress."
King Jing said, "What is it, tea?"
Qin Feichuan said: "The Qimen black tea is the tribute."
Keemun black tea?
Just as King Jing wanted to say it, let it go, then he remembered the incident that the young master drank tea for the first time in the main hall a long time ago, and he vomited blood after drinking it.
So he said: "Take apart and cook a pot, I will taste it first."
Qin Feichuan unpacked and made tea as he said.
The tea was indeed a good tribute, and the tangy aroma woke up Jiang Yan who was sleeping.
He rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed, yawned and asked if it was Qimen black tea, otherwise how could it be so fragrant.
Seeing that he seemed to have a dog's nose, and his sense of smell was extremely sensitive, King Jing sighed dotingly: "Is this calling you back from Duke Zhou?"
Jiang Yan said: "Thirsty."
Qin Feichuan accepted his life-saving grace and was about to thank him properly when he heard that he was about to bring him the brewed tea when he was stopped by King Jing.
Prince Jing put the silver needle that had just been taken by someone into the teacup, took it out after a while, and saw that the tip of the silver needle had already turned black in a large area.
There is poison in the tea.
Qin Feichuan's complexion changed when he saw this: "I only brought the tea leaves from my mother, and I definitely didn't poison it."
King Jing said, "Of course I know it's not you."
Jiang Yan said at this time: "Before, every time I vomited blood in the main hall, I either drank tea or ate something."
Prince Jing said: "...Yes."
Jiang Yandao: "So it was my mother who poisoned me?" He lowered his eyes, looking as if he was going to sleep again, but what he said made King Jing and Qin Feichuan freeze suddenly, "My sister The reason why I agreed to marry His Highness the Third Prince is because the empress said that she can get the medicine to detoxify me."
But since he entered Wanchun Palace, she has been poisoning him?
What is this for?
He thought, sniffing the aroma of black tea and fell asleep again.
There are only two people left, you look at me and I look at you, their expressions are extremely complicated.
……
The matter of the prince and side concubine came from behind, and the matter of Qin Bushan and Qin Feichuan was almost turned into a minor matter, and it was completely subsided before it caused a big storm.
And because Concubine Wan was behind the scenes, the Prince originally wanted to suppress the side concubine's affairs, but in the end, His Majesty still found out.
The emperor, who was still happily waiting for the birthday banquet to start, suddenly became sullen. Although he didn't speak, he looked at the prince like a storm, which made the prince break out in cold sweat, and the outermost layer of clothes was all wet. Getting soaked.
But the emperor still felt sorry for his son, and finally said slowly: "That's all for today, I will teach you a lesson in two days."
This is the tacit consent of the prince to suppress the matter.
So finally came the day of the birthday, in order to win the magnanimity of the father, the prince specially presented the birthday gift first.
It was the Flying Stone that Concubine Wan mentioned when she first tested Jiang Yan.
As for King Jing, what he gave was also the golden statue of the Western Regions mentioned that day.
Comparing the two birthday gifts, just as Jiang Yan said at the time, how could His Majesty not know what the prince thinks?
The prince spent so much effort to get such a stone that can't even be regarded as a fake rock. Does his majesty know whether he has filial piety to his father, if he has, and how much he occupies?
The emperor was silent, he glanced at the prince, and then at Prince Jing, his eyes were so deep that no one could see what he was thinking.
After the civil and military officials all offered their birthday presents, the emperor gave an order, singing and dancing immediately, everyone finally started toasting and eating, and the whole hall suddenly became lively.
During the period, whether intentionally or not, many people went to toast the prince.
You have a cup, I have a cup, after you persuaded me, I continued to persuade, not long after, the prince's face turned red from drinking, and his eyes gradually blurred.
The princess sitting next to him faintly felt that something was wrong, and wanted to speak again and again, but was preempted by others, so that when the emperor asked the prince if today's wine was good, the princess felt a little bit in her heart, and when she was done thinking about it, she wanted to problem occurs.
Sure enough, the crown prince who was so drunk did not even think about it: "The tribute wine I specially selected is of course delicious!"
"..."
The prince's words made the hall quiet.
Everyone looked at the drunken prince in shock.
The queen even snapped off her nails.
She was frightened and wondered what His Majesty was going to ask, whether the Crown Prince would speak wild words again, and at the same time secretly hated how the Crown Princess did things, knowing that the Crown Prince likes to mess around when drunk, why didn't she stop him?
How did she know that the Crown Princess was speechless at this time.
Seeing that the emperor's eyes became deeper and deeper, as if he could devour people, making people dare not even look at him, the princess almost used all the courage in her life to bite the bullet and said: "Father, Your Highness, he, he Drunk, just talking nonsense, Father, don't take it seriously."
The emperor said leisurely: "Nonsense? Isn't there a saying called telling the truth after drinking?"
The princess said: "Yes... there is such a saying. But father, this matter has to be separated. His Highness always likes to mess around when he is drunk. He was teasing you just now, you..."
"Who is making a fool of yourself!" The prince yelled suddenly, "What I said is so eloquent, there is no reason to make a fool of it!"
"..."
The emperor looked at him silently, and then chuckled lightly.
The princess could not speak another word.
She was ashamed.
She tugged at the prince and plopped down on his knees.
Unexpectedly, the crown prince didn't cooperate, he was forced to get up by his sleeves, and he didn't forget to pick up the crown princess from the ground, and while picking it up, he muttered: "Why kneel, I'm right beside you, if you don't kneel!" I, who do you kneel to?"
The princess wanted to tell him so much, I kneel down to your father, if you don't kneel now, you will regret it when you wake up.
But the fact is that she couldn't say a word, and she was not as strong as the prince, so she had to stand up with the prince's strength, and then pressed the prince back to the ground to kneel, and then the prince muttered When she wanted to get up, she felt exhausted and desperate, so she simply ignored the prince and knelt alone, no matter how much the prince pulled her, she would not move.
After all, he drank too much, he still had the strength to get up from the ground for the first two times, and he was able to pull the princess up by the way, but after two or three times, the prince sat on the ground with his legs wide open, motionless.
He panted and asked the princess: "What happened to you today, who made you angry? Just tell me, and I will help you out."
At this time, the princess was already kneeling on the ground, and she didn't lift her head when she heard the words.
The prince looked at it and felt more and more strange: "What's wrong with you? Tell me, I will make the decision for you."
"You call yourself Zhen?" A voice suddenly asked from above, "What about me, what do you think I should call myself?"
The prince subconsciously said: "In front of me, of course you have to call yourself a humble official or grassroots!"
As he said that, Xu Shi felt that he was the Nine-Five Supreme, how dare someone talk on top of his head, he immediately raised his head and squinted to look upwards.
I saw the interrogator standing in front of me. Because of the light behind him, I couldn't see the specific expression. I only knew that noble demeanor was really rare in the world, and he looked more like an emperor than himself.
The prince couldn't help asking: "Who are you, are you my prime minister, or my great general?"
The person above said slowly: "I... am your father."
my dad?
The prince tilted his head and thought for a moment.
He was just about to say that my father died a long time ago, and you are pretending, but he inadvertently saw the face of the man above him, and he was instantly sober as if enlightened.
His face suddenly turned pale.
"Father, royal father..."
The wine is completely awake, but he would rather not wake up at all: "My son, my son..."
He couldn't even say a whole sentence, he hastily adjusted his posture and knelt down, the wine he just drank turned into cold sweat and rushed out from all parts of his body, he dared to say that he had never been so scared in his life.
He knelt tremblingly, like falling into an ice cellar.
However, what he did not expect was that his father did not punish him.
He didn't even say a word of lesson, just said: "Get up."
Then without saying a word, he left with a flick of his sleeves.
Although the emperor left, the civil and military officials present still kept their mouths tightly shut, not daring to say a single word.
After all, even a blind person can tell that His Majesty is disappointed with the Crown Prince.
Originally, the position of the crown prince has not yet been settled, but today's disturbance, I am afraid that the crown prince will no longer have the hope of being the crown prince.
The crown prince was abandoned, and the only one who is expected to be crowned prince is...
Some people are already ready to move, and decided to vote for another master after today.
The prince also understood this truth.
A court lady came forward to help him up, but he pushed it away and got up from the ground by himself.
In a blink of an eye, seeing the princess was still kneeling on the ground, he wanted to vent his anger, why didn't he stop him if he wanted to scold her, but he still had an impression of what happened just now, knowing that he was completely plotted by his father, she was not his father at all. The emperor's opponent could only sigh bitterly at the moment, and bent down to reach out to the princess.
"It's cold on the ground, get up quickly," he said, "don't let them make fun of you."
Unexpectedly, the princess ignored his hand and got up by herself.
This was the first time she didn't give him face in front of others.
She patted her skirt, helped her messy bun, and said in a cold voice: "I've been laughed at." She said so, but her expression was very calm, "I would like to advise Your Highness, don't drink alcohol from now on , otherwise if the incident just now happens again, His Highness will lose the emperor's heart, and the concubine will also suffer."
After speaking, he took the maid and left without even saying a word to the queen.
Watching the concubine leave with anger, the prince stood there for a long while, then sighed again.
Seeing that the prince was still ambitious and full of ambitions fifteen minutes ago, he lost his composure to this point after a quarter of an hour. The queen who wanted to persuade him did not speak after all, but just sat there and secretly made up her mind.
After so long, it is almost time.
……
a few days later.
Jiang Yan was sitting under a tree reading a book, and Qian Xiang, who had just returned from outside the palace, stood beside him, recounting to him one by one the news he heard outside the palace.
"Recently there have been more rumors in Beijing, saying that His Majesty intends to make Prince Jing the heir apparent." Qian Xiang said softly, "It is also said that His Majesty has ordered the Qin Tianjian to calculate the auspicious day for the sacrifice, and the Ministry of Rites is already preparing for it."
Jiang Yan didn't speak, just turned a page in the book in his hand.
Sure enough, Qian Xiang said again: "My servant checked, this rumor was spread by the Empress, with the intention of destroying King Jing's name as a protector god among the common people, so that King Jing can be eliminated from the battle for the heir apparent."
Jiang Yan still didn't speak, and slowly stroked the words on the book with his fingertips.
Qian Xiang continued: "But as far as I know, Prince Jing doesn't seem to be planning to take any action on this..."
"Of course he doesn't intend to take it." Jiang Yan finally said, "He wishes for this in his heart."
Qian Xiang asked, "Why?"
Jiang Yandao: "Sooner or later, he will be like me, throwing away his womanhood. The empress's current behavior is actually opening the way for him in advance."
Qian Xiang suddenly realized: "Then young master, are we just watching the fire from the other side?"
"of course not."
"Then what does the young master need slaves for?"
"Changing clothes for me, I'm going to see the queen."
"See what the queen is doing?"
"Meet the queen, and draw from the bottom of the pot."
……
About 23 years ago, a shocking event happened in the palace.
People at the time were very interested in that big event, but no one dared to mention the civet cat in exchange for the prince.
In the harem at that time, the queen was waiting to give birth, the noble concubine was pregnant, and the concubine Wan was waiting to give birth.
The three high-ranking concubines are all pregnant with the dragon seed, and it depends on who is the first to give birth to the eldest son of the emperor, so that the mother is more expensive according to the son, and enjoys more power.
It is also a coincidence among coincidences. The imperial concubine has just passed the most dangerous period, and her fetal position has gradually stabilized. After the imperial doctor diagnosed her pulse, she said that as long as she takes care of her properly, she is expected to give birth to a princess in a few months; Childbirth, and when the imperial concubine got off the bed after receiving the Ping'an pulse, both gave birth to a Lin'er.
In this way, the queen and concubine Wan were almost in no particular order, and gave birth to two princes at the same time.
The time difference between these times is really small, and everyone calculated for a while, but they couldn't figure it out.In the end, the most respected person pointed at one of the numbers casually, and then reported to the emperor that the concubine Wan gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, and the empress gave birth to the second prince.
Since ancient times, the position of the Eastern Palace has always been established by the eldest son, and there are very few independent ones. Therefore, even though Concubine Wan gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, her son still cannot be established as the crown prince.
The fact that the son is not the prince makes Concubine Wan's heart bleed.
Concubine Wan has always been ambitious.
Not only does she want her son to be a prince, but she also wants to be a queen. When His Majesty dies, she can become the empress dowager, the real mother of the world.
It's just that things didn't go the way she wanted.
But fortunately, she had anticipated this and was prepared for it.
So when the emperor over there learned that the queen had given birth to a son following Concubine Wan, news came from here that there was another one in Concubine Wan's belly.
——Where did this extra child come from?
—Of course it came from other concubines.
Because of this extra child, the imperial physician was sent away. The imperial concubine who was about to visit the queen was robbed on the way, and the unformed child who was only four months old in her womb was cut out by life.
Bleeding all over the place.
In the season of heavy snow, the sky and the earth are icy cold, the imperial concubine's eyes are tightly open, and she looks like a ghost.
The imperial concubine is pregnant with a daughter.
After the fuzzy little ball of flesh and blood was sent to the Wanchun Palace, the midwife took the basket without looking at it, and put it aside casually, and then announced that the second child born to Concubine Wan was a daughter, the eldest princess.
In this way, the eldest son of the emperor and the eldest princess were all accepted by Concubine Wan, and she became a veritable winner.
However, she still has a way to go.
So after more than 20 years, the plan of changing the civet cat for the prince, which has been kept secret by countless people, started under Wanfei's signal.
The emperor got two princes and a princess, and it was a time of joy, but unexpectedly, there were assassins in the palace. They regarded the imperial army as air, and everyone was like entering a land without people, so they took all three children away. go.
The emperor was furious.
It is said that when the emperor was furious, millions of corpses were buried, and the emperor gave an order, and the officers and soldiers of the entire capital were fully operational, and the whereabouts of the three highnesses were found in the fastest time.
The emperor rushed over in person.
Of the three children who were taken away, only one is still alive at this moment, and the other two have turned into a tangled mass of flesh and blood, being torn and devoured by wild dogs.
Seeing that the emperor's eyes were red, the assassins who completed the mission committed suicide without leaving any news.
The emperor, who was extremely grief-stricken, had no choice but to take the second prince who was still alive back to the palace.
In this way, the eldest prince died, and the eldest princess died, and at the same time, some palace officials came to report that the noble concubine had a miscarriage and lost the second princess in the snow.
Only one of the four children was still alive. The day of the Son of Heaven could be described as great joy and great sorrow, with great ups and downs. Even though he has gone through countless storms and waves, he is still a little dazed.
In the end, someone from Wanchun Palace came to announce the good news, saying that the assassin had actually carried the wrong child, and that the child carried away by the assassin was actually not the eldest princess, but a newborn puppy.
The eldest princess is still healthy and safe in Wanchun Palace.
The emperor heard this, and before he had time to rejoice, he heard people say that Concubine Wan gave birth to another son, who was the third prince.
The emperor was dumbfounded on the spot.
The imperial physician said before that Concubine Wan was only pregnant with one princess, and it was fine if she gave birth to an extra princess in the morning. How can she give birth to another prince now?
Everyone, including the emperor, felt strange, and went to Wanchun Palace to visit Concubine Wan.
This time, they all broke out in a cold sweat.
I saw Concubine Wan, who had just given birth, with a pale face, leaning against the head of the bed, holding a civet cat in her arms and coaxing softly...
She coaxed the civet cat, and said softly: "I am your mother. The third prince, my son, you are just like your brother, you are a good baby of your mother, aren't you?"
Concubine Wan is crazy.
The emperor was speechless.
After a moment of silence in front of the Wanchun Palace, the emperor finally ordered that no one should mention what happened today.
Especially the eldest prince and the second princess were even listed as forbidden words, and whoever dared to speak of it would be expected to lose their heads.
After such instructions, facing the terrified queen, the disillusioned concubine, and the crazy concubine Wan, the emperor locked himself in the imperial study for a whole night, and the next day he went up to the court to personally draw up the imperial decree and establish the second prince. As the prince, adopt the eldest princess to the noble concubine, and at the same time adopt a baby from the clan to become the third prince for Concubine Wan.
Only then did the three concubines have their own heirs.
only……
"The prince is not your child."
In the huge palace, the two of them sat and stood one by one, making the room quite empty and lonely.
The standing boy in plain shirt smiled and said: "Since it is not your child, why do you pave the way for him? You are not afraid that he will become a white-eyed wolf in the future and bite you back?"
The queen who was sitting in the high position clenched her teeth and refused to reply.
The young man continued: "Who is your child and who should you help? I feel that you should know it well, don't you?"
The queen was shocked.
How can you not know what you know?
Her child, obviously, obviously...
She endured it for 23 years, a full 23 years!
For, isn't it her child?
The teeth were almost crushed, the woman's face was pale, and tears slowly overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
After a long time, she finally nodded slightly.
"Okay. I promise you."
The young man also smiled when he heard the words: "This can't be better."
The conversation between the two ended here.
Jiang Yan suppressed his smile, and bowed down to the queen: "Your Majesty, please rest, and I will take my leave first."
The Queen watched him leave.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and the shadow cast by the young man on the ground was extremely vivid. When she looked closely, her eyes would burn in a trance.
She didn't raise her hand to cover her face until she could no longer see that shadow, and cried slowly.
"My child, my child..."
"Mother will definitely help you take back what should belong to you..."
"My child...Jing Qiu..."
——Only the second princess died that year.
——The eldest prince was the only one born to Concubine Wan back then.
During the process of being kidnapped by the assassin, the real first prince turned into the second prince, who was established as a crown prince and raised under the name of the empress; the real second prince was disguised as the eldest princess, raised by the noble concubine, named King Jing, and the man disguised himself as a woman 23 years long.
As for the third prince, it was completely imagined by Concubine Wan and did not exist.
As for the son of the concubine Wan and the son of the queen, who is the elder of the two, in fact, it was the son of the queen who took the lead at the beginning, and he was the eldest prince.
That is to say-
Going around, coming and going, King Jing, Ruan Jingqiu, is the real queen's son, the real eldest prince.
It is the real order of heaven, that is, longevity and prosperity.
……
The queen is indeed a person who keeps her promises.
The rumors about King Jing being made the heir apparent had only been circulating in Beijing for two days, and then there was a new rumor in the palace, saying that the empress suspects that the side concubine was actually killed by the prince, and the prince must give an explanation.
But how can the prince give an explanation?
So the mother and son started arguing, and it was useless for others to try to persuade them to fight.
In the end, the trouble came in front of the emperor. The emperor, who was already disappointed in the prince, was upset by the trouble. He simply punished him and ordered the queen to copy one hundred volumes of Buddhist scriptures.
The prince fell down in anger on the spot.
As soon as the news spread, the Prince's faction immediately scattered in disorder, and those who voted for the Ming Lord and other Ming Lords, but after a few days, those who were still standing in the Eastern Palace faction were deserted.
Prince Jing quietly won a big victory.
The prince was grounded, and some of his positions were removed. The emperor thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to give it a go, and let Prince Jing give it a try.
So half a year later, the crown prince finally got out of the East Palace, but the one who greeted him was King Jing who took his place and handled many things that should have been handled by him beautifully and cleanly.
Even the Son of Heaven praised King Jing several times in front of the courtiers, and it seemed that he really wanted to make Prince Jing the heir apparent in his words.
The emperor's intention made King Jing famous for a while, and he was even more supportive among the common people, which laid an excellent foundation for him to return to his true identity in the future.
If this is the case, two years later, the emperor suddenly became seriously ill and often fell into a coma, unable to control the government.Later, King Jing was established as the crown prince, and even the will was written, everything was ready, only the east wind was owed.
