Cousin Chitose Chitose

Cui Liu's eyes were slightly cold: "I wonder if this girl can explain, what is this thing in your hand?"

The white powder was secretly obtained from the ring worn by Cui Liu, the amount was not much, but it was enough to make the skin fester.

Just as the two of them were talking, part of Cui Liu's hand had been corroded.

"Ah! My hands!" The master told her that putting the powder on her face would cause redness and swelling, but she never said it would be so serious!

Cui Liu screamed miserably, but no one sympathized with her.

Everyone around could see that Cui Liu wanted to use this method to slander the shop.The girls and guys in the store naturally hated Cui Liu deeply, and the officials' wives who were doing facial massage in the store were also afraid that they might be contaminated with the things Cui Liu brought in, so they were afraid to avoid her.

"Miss, this person tried to harm people in our shop, and then planted it on our shop, what do you think we should do?" Xiang Cao asked Jiang Yuanwan for instructions.

"Since she has the intention of harming others, she must not be tolerated. Send her to the Yamen."

Jiang Yuanwan's eyes were cold.

If Wei Yichen hadn't discovered what was wrong with the Liu family early on, and reminded her to take precautionary measures in advance, I'm afraid they really have something to say in the shop right now!

Cui Liu also didn't expect that Jiang Yuanwan would send her to see the official without asking who her master was, and hurriedly said: "My master is a member of the empress dowager's family, please release me quickly , otherwise you will have good fruit to eat!"

"Nonsense, who doesn't know that the Empress Dowager is the most merciful, so why would you allow the people below to use such insidious means to harm people? I think you are clearly plotting to ruin the Empress Dowager's reputation!" Jiang Yuanwan Said: "Come here, shut her mouth up for me, and send her directly to the official!"

Cui Liu whined, but no one paid attention to her.

The officials in charge of this matter are the most upright and upright. They have always hated their relatives who rely on their nepotism to do their best, but Cui Liu was brought to the court and did not know how to restrain himself and said a lot of extremely rude words.

The official's face turned livid, and he sent someone to beat Cui Liu severely, and Cui Liu finally confessed honestly.

"This matter was ordered by my master. My master saw that the shop opened by Miss Jiang was doing well, so he wanted to take over Miss Jiang's business."

"That's all you want to grab people's business, why do you use such insidious methods?"

"My master wants to grab the business from Miss Jiang's shop as soon as possible. Of course, he has to choose the fastest way. And the shopping mall is like a battlefield, but it's all about the means. It's good if you can achieve your goal."

"Aren't you afraid of accidentally hurting others?"

"If it's really accidentally hurt, there's nothing you can do about it. You can only blame them for being unlucky."

Cui Liu's nonchalant attitude angered the officials, who became more rude to her. .

After some interrogation, the more the official listened, the more horrified he became.

"It's really unreasonable! A mere distant branch of the Liu family dares to use the name of Empress Dowager Liu as a dominance! Those members of the Liu clan who are close to Empress Dowager Liu have done so many outrageous things! After investigating this matter, report to the emperor!"

At this time, the official, and Jiang Yuanwan, who sent Cui Liu to the official, didn't know that it was this seemingly insignificant incident that became the fuse of the conflict between the empress and the empress!

……

With the three concubines entering the palace, Liu Xihui was ordered to contemplate behind closed doors at home. The relationship between the emperor and the queen mother had long since become rigid.

Empress Dowager Liu had originally hoped that Liu Xihui would give birth to the eldest son of the emperor, and she would put the child on the throne of the crown prince, but the pregnancy of the imperial concubine and concubine Xian made Empress Dowager Liu's hope come to naught!

Now, Liu Xihui is still thinking about it outside the palace, but the imperial concubine and concubine Xian are both pregnant. When Liu Xihui enters the palace, what else will happen to her!

In addition, since the emperor got the list from the hidden guards arranged by the first emperor and took the people on the list for his own use, several people under the empress dowager lost several people one after another, even the father of Liu Xihui, whom the empress dowager wanted to promote , were left idle by the emperor.

The empress dowager's dissatisfaction with the emperor was growing.

The emperor was also dissatisfied with the empress dowager, from when the empress dowager sent people to intercept and kill Wei Yichen and Prince Rong's son Zhou Jing who were running errands for the emperor, to when the empress dowager forced him to marry the daughter of the Liu family, to when the empress dowager secretly attacked the pregnant imperial concubine , the anger in his heart is also getting stronger and stronger.

It can be said that although neither the emperor nor the Empress Dowager Liu has made a move, the relationship between them is in a critical state.

As long as there is a little inducement from the outside world, the fuse between the emperor and Empress Dowager Liu will be completely ignited.

And what happened to the Liu family happened to be the inducement.

After the official found out that Cui Liu was instigated by the Liu family, he was very angry with his relatives for being so arrogant and domineering. He not only punished Cui Liu and her main family severely, but also checked to see if other members of the Liu family had done similar things. .

As a result, he discovered that the crimes committed by the Liu family were too numerous to list. Gao, causing farmers to have to sell their sons and daughters is the official's focus.

In addition, what made the official even more furious was that the Liu family even had the audacity to lend loan sharks!

After collecting the criminal evidence of the Liu family, this upright official sued the emperor in a fit of anger.

In front of civil and military officials, the emperor is not good at showing favoritism to his mother's family - what's more, the emperor himself doesn't like the Liu family who is ambitious and often does stupid things.

"If the situation is true, then deal with it according to my Daqi law." The emperor said.

In the past few days, Empress Dowager Liu happened to be a little unwell, so she did not go to the court to listen to the government. Therefore, she missed the best opportunity to prevent the emperor from disposing of the Liu family.

By the time Empress Dowager Liu received the news, the emperor had already imprisoned all the Liu family.

Empress Dowager Liu rushed to the emperor with a gloomy look. At that time, the emperor was gently stroking the imperial concubine's belly.

Empress Dowager Liu thought of her niece and daughter who hadn't entered the palace yet, and looked at the imperial concubine's unobtrusive stomach, and her anger grew even stronger: "Emperor, the Ai family knows that you like the emperor's heir, but you have a noble status after all, how can there be an imperial concubine sitting here?" , why are you standing?"

This is obviously looking for trouble.

The emperor whispered a word of comfort in the ear of the imperial concubine, and said to the queen mother lightly: "The empress mother is angry in her heart, and she is here to attack me. Why bother to use the imperial concubine as a raft? Since the empress does not like the imperial concubine, let her Let her step back for now."

Seeing that Empress Dowager Liu had no intention of stopping, the imperial concubine subdued herself and left.She is the daughter of the Eldest Princess, and she was brought up in gold and jade since she was a child. Naturally, she is not willing to stay here to see the face of Empress Dowager Liu.

Ever since she entered the palace, Empress Dowager Liu has treated her very unkindly. Fortunately, her mother, the Eldest Princess, is still dignified, and the emperor is protecting her everywhere. Empress Dowager Liu can only say a few sarcastic remarks if she doesn't like her. Give her a face, and don't dare to go too far.

However, the imperial concubine didn't notice that when she left, Empress Dowager Liu looked at her belly with a little chill.

"Emperor, the Ai family hasn't died yet, and you can't wait to attack the Ai family's natal family. Do you feel that the Ai family has lived for too long and is getting in your way!"

"Why did the queen mother say this? I always knew that the queen mother valued the Liu family more than me, but I never expected that the queen mother would question me indiscriminately as soon as she came over."

There wasn't much mother-child affection between the two of them, and after a lot of games, there was even less of this mother-child affection left.

Empress Dowager Liu looked at the emperor with a slight chill hidden in her eyes, and the emperor looked at Empress Dowager Liu as if he was looking at his mother, but as if he was looking at political enemies.

"The Liu family relied on their mother's power to commit numerous crimes. The evidence is solid. How can my mother let me protect them?" Thinking of what he heard in the court hall, the emperor felt a burst of resentment.

He knew that the Liu family had always been arrogant, but he didn't expect that some Liu family members were so frenzied that they ignored human lives.

"The Liu family is the queen mother's natal family, and also my mother's family. Naturally, I hope that the Liu family will be well. But the Liu family has committed such crimes, and I must not condone them."

"That's your relative!" Empress Dowager Liu interrupted the emperor coldly.

"Above family love, there is more royal law." The emperor said: "If I condone my relatives breaking the rules today, how will I restrain other ministers in the future?"

Empress Dowager Liu turned her head to the side, unwilling to look at the emperor again: "Don't say such high-sounding words to the Ai family! After all, it's just you who never regard the Liu family and the Ai family as your relatives."

"If the queen mother wants to think this way, there is nothing I can do about it. Please rest assured, the queen mother. The people I sent to deal with are those Liu family members with proven evidence of crimes, and those Liu family members who have done nothing wrong. I will not embarrass them. And don’t let others make things difficult for them.”

Seeing the leaving figure of the emperor, Empress Dowager Liu said: "Your Majesty, since you are so cruel, don't blame Aijia."

……

In the court, taking advantage of the downfall of the Liu family, the imperial party continued to attack the rear party, and killed several officials of the rear party in one go.Although these officials are not high-ranking officials, this is also an exciting thing for the people of the imperial party.

However, not long afterward, news came from the harem that the imperial concubine did not know what medicine she had taken by mistake, and she had a miscarriage!

The imperial concubine is the highest-ranking concubine among the four imperial concubines, and she is also a popular candidate for empress.Now in the court hall, how many people are paying attention to her stomach. When they heard about this, they naturally asked for a detailed investigation.

As a result, after searching and searching, I somehow found another pregnant concubine in the palace, Concubine Li Xian.

Immediately, some people speculated whether Li Xianfei knew that the imperial concubine was pregnant with a boy, so she acted preemptively to eradicate the threat for her child.

Concubine Li Xian immediately called out her grievances: "Please tell the emperor, there is no need for my concubine to do such a thing, and I will not do such a thing. The emperor also knows that my concubine has a straight temper. If I let my concubine wield knives and guns, my concubine is good at it. The concubine can't do the twists and turns. I don't know if someone did it and blamed it on the concubine."

As she said that, Concubine Li Xian looked at Concubine Wu Shu coldly.

Obviously, if the imperial concubine and concubine Li Xian are unlucky at the same time, it will be Concubine Wu Shu who will benefit in the end.

Concubine Wu Shu was stunned when she heard the words, and immediately flew into a rage: "You have the nerve to blame me for what you did yourself?"

"That's you who framed me!"

"What reason do I have to frame you!"

"If I and the imperial concubine suffer at the same time, it will be your turn to be proud!"

"Okay, I believe that you did not do this matter. I will continue to investigate this matter and will definitely give you an explanation." The emperor said: "Since you know that someone is plotting against us, you should be more careful." Don't let the outsiders make a move, let's make a mess first."

The reason why the emperor brought Concubine Li Xian, Concubine Wu Shu and Concubine Huang Gui into the palace was to get support from generals, Qingliu and the clan from them to deal with Empress Dowager Liu's cronies.

Before Empress Dowager Liu returned to power, Concubine Wu Shu, Concubine Li Xian and Concubine Huang Guifei would be a temporary alliance. Therefore, they were very measured when getting along on weekdays.

Although it is absolutely impossible to make them as close as sisters, at least they can still achieve superficial harmony.

It was the first time for Concubine Wu Shu and Concubine Li Xian to scold each other like just now.

At this time, Concubine Li Xian and Concubine Wu Shu listened to the emperor's words, temporarily let go of their prejudice against each other, and remembered the doubts in this matter.

"The concubine will never frame the imperial concubine's sister, and blame the Xian concubine's sister, please the emperor to be careful."

Concubine Wu Shu said respectfully.Now that the emperor has not yet obtained the power, and she herself does not even have a son, even if she wanted to fight, she would not start so early.

"According to the emperor's opinion, who will do this matter?" Concubine Li Xian said.

The emperor didn't speak, but Concubine Li Xian followed his gaze and looked in the direction he was looking.

That is……

Rao is such a nervous general as Concubine Li Xian, after guessing the answer, her heart couldn't help trembling.

If this matter was really done by Empress Dowager Liu, then they can't find out what's wrong, so it can be explained.Empress Dowager Liu has been in the palace for many years, how can their power be comparable to them?

But Concubine Li Xian couldn't understand why Empress Dowager Liu was so cruel.The concubine is pregnant with her own grandson!

Concubine Wu Shu's mind was always brighter than Concubine Li Xian's, and she obviously understood it very quickly.

Concubine Wu Shu looked at Concubine Li Xian's puzzled expression, and sighed softly: "For the Empress Dowager, I am afraid that only the child that crawled out of Liu Zhaoyi's belly is her own grandson. Ever since the three of us entered the palace, has the Empress Dowager ever given you a child?" Do we have a good face?"

At this moment, while the two hated Queen Mother Liu, they also hated Liu Xihui.

……

Jiang Yuanwan sent someone to send Cui Liu to the official at that time, but it was a momentary act of anger, and she did not expect that the subsequent development of this matter would cause such an uproar.

"Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager will see each other. From now on, there will be chaos in Beijing. The Empress Dowager Liu and those who are attached to the Liu family must hate you to the bone now. You have to be careful. If you can't go out on weekdays, don't go out." Go out. If you need to go out for anything, be sure to let me accompany you by your side. "

Wei Yichen whispered earnestly in Jiang Yuanwan's ear.

Jiang Yuanwan's heart warmed up: "I see, Cousin Chen, don't worry, I will always pay attention to my own safety. It is a troubled time at this time, and the emperor must have a lot of tasks for you. Just do your best, don't worry." Leave me alone."

Wei Yichen looked seriously at Jiang Yuanwan's eyes, those pupils were full of Jiang Yuanwan's reflection.

"But I worry about you."

Jiang Yuanwan discovered that Wei Yichen was always good at saying things that people couldn't resist with a serious expression.

"I'm worried about you too. I'm a female family member, and I won't go out in a hurry. But you, you should be careful when doing errands outside."

Jiang Yuanwan recalled the last time when she saw Wei Yichen and Zhou Jing in the temple, they were in a panic, and couldn't help saying: "At any time, you should put your own safety first."

"Don't worry, I won't put myself in it. After all, I've pursued you for so long, and I haven't gotten a definite answer from you, how could I be willing!" Wei Yichen said half-truthfully .

Jiang Yuanwan took a deep look at him: "After this turmoil is over, I will tell you the answer you want."

The emperor and Empress Dowager Liu have wrestled for so many years, and there should be a result.

Wei Yichen treated her with sincerity, and she didn't want to keep lying to Wei Yichen.With things in mind, it always makes people feel a little heavy.

At this time, Liu Yun hurried in: "Miss, do you know that Empress Dowager Liu is looking for something recently?"

As soon as Jiang Yuanwan heard it, she knew that such things were most important and could affect the overall situation.Otherwise, Empress Dowager Liu would definitely not be distracted to find such things at this moment.

"Could it be that the imperial grandfather left behind something important before his great trip?"

"Miss guessed right. The late emperor had left two secret decrees, one of which asked General Zhuang to take care of His Highness. The other one, the slaves don't know what was written on it, but I think the secret decree must be related to Empress Dowager Liu, and It's not good for Empress Dowager Liu, otherwise, Empress Dowager Liu wouldn't spend all her time trying to find that secret decree."

"That secret decree, isn't it in the hands of the emperor?"

"According to the news that the servants have inquired about, the secret decree seems to be kept by the secret guards and has not been stored in the palace. Since there was water in the palace, the emperor probably felt that it was not safe to put it in the palace."

"Since that's the case, you should send someone to keep watching. It doesn't matter if the emperor takes away the secret decree, but it must not be allowed to fall into the hands of Empress Dowager Liu."

After Liu Yun withdrew, Wei Jinxuan came to Jiang Yuanwan like a gust of wind, her eyes were astonishingly bright: "Cousin Jiang, I heard that the Liu family is going to be in bad luck, isn't it?"

Jiang Yuanwan recalled the news she had just received from Wei Yichen and Liu Yun, and said: "Those who make mistakes must be dealt with in accordance with the law. I heard that Cheng Engong once forcibly seized the land of the common people, and Mrs. Cheng Engong let him go. After borrowing loan sharks and taking money from other people, he used Cheng Engong's post to deal with the lawsuit for others, and described the good sufferer as a criminal, killing several people."

"Speaking of which, although Aunt Xia is the aunt of the Marquis of Changning, she is a good concubine. She was drowned to death by Mrs. Cheng Engong like this. If she was stabbed outside, it would be a crime."

Wei Jinxuan exclaimed happily when she heard it: "Heaven has eyes, and finally Liu will have this day! I will let everyone know that my aunt was killed by that Liu, I can't Let my mother die so inexplicably!"

As she said that, she asked Jiang Yuanwan again: "Good sister, tell me, what will the emperor do with those surnamed Liu?"

"Now the title of Cheng Engong's mansion has been taken away by the emperor. If it is dealt with fairly, the crimes committed by Cheng Engong and his wife will be executed according to the law. But after all, there is still the empress dowager's face in the palace, and in the end they may be sentenced to death." Exile for three thousand miles."

"They have spent most of their lives in rich clothes and fine clothes, so let them die like this, it would be too cheap for them! I hope they will be sentenced to exile!"

Of course, if Cheng Engong and Mrs. Cheng Engong were sentenced to exile, Wei Jinxuan would definitely spend money on the way to ask someone to "take care" of them.
