female concubine

Xiao Xianfu stepped forward, "According to the rule, the court staff needs to be given clothes and staff, but the six kings are princes, so there is no need."

Then he walked up to the two sticks and whispered: "The six kings are distinguished, you should know, if you deviate by an inch and hurt your vitals, you should stop working in the Imperial City Department."

"Yes."

The official stick is three feet and five inches long, and the palms of the stick are sweating. The emperor is furious and wants to punish his son. It is hard to decide whether it is heavy or light. human life.

The two sticks gritted their teeth and fought, "Six kings, offended!"

How can I say that Xiao Xianfu is also the nominal second uncle of the king of Chu, but under the monarch and his ministers, he can't save his nephew and son-in-law from suffering, so he turned his head away, and happened to see Zhao Ci who was coming out of the palace, so he chased up and asked.

"Zhao all knows, what exactly did the King of Chu say just now, that made His Majesty so angry that he not only ordered the court staff but also escorted him to Zongzheng Temple?"

Zhao Ci looked at the King Chu who was being tortured, turned his head and couldn't bear to look directly at him, pulled Xiao Xianfu aside and said in a low voice, "For some reason, Your Majesty suddenly summoned the crown prince, the three kings and six kings today to ask about politics, and it turned out that The six kings talked about the idea of ​​abolishing the crown prince and presenting it to Emperor Taizong, and the content seems to be [-]%!" Zhao Ci shook his head, "Your Majesty is a man with a strong personality."

"Your Majesty only had the King of Chu after he ascended the throne. Discussion of this matter has already been clearly prohibited. How did the King of Chu know about it?"

"Who knows, maybe it's just a coincidence... His Majesty hates the abolition of the crown prince, and the abolition of the crown prince's honor, so he went against the law after ascending the throne of His Majesty."

"Zhao Duzhi can't see that someone deliberately framed the King of Chu, Your Majesty, she..."

"Do you think Your Majesty can't see it!" Zhao Ci suddenly changed his face, "Your Majesty asked about it in Wende Hall before, but the six kings just agreed." Looking at the person who received the rod, he gritted his teeth, his pale face Constantly sweating, Zhao Ci said with tears in his eyes, "Oh, how can the little ancestor's body withstand this!"

"Reporting on official business, the six kings... have passed out and are still nine sticks away."

Zhao Ci panicked, hurriedly turned around and opened the door to enter the hall.

"Wake up, continue!" Xiao Xianfu frowned, as a last resort.

"But, it's winter, and I'm afraid that the six kings won't be able to bear it."

Xiao Xianfu recruited his cronies, "Ask the imperial doctor of the Imperial Academy to prepare, and then send someone to Chu Palace to report to the princess, and..." He lowered his voice again.

"Yes."

When the people sent by Xiao Xianfu arrived at Prince Chu's mansion, they were told by the guards that Princess Chu had left the mansion half a quarter ago, and at this time the evening drum had already sounded. open.

Two quarters of an hour ago.

"There will be a grand court and a grand banquet in Zhengdan. At that time, the Chu Palace will also have to make preparations. Prepare everything according to these lists." Xiao Youqing handed a list to the person in charge of the palace.

"Yes."

Xiao Youqing went into the study, but the King of Chu was not there, only Little Six was packing up the files.

"Servant Qi, where is the prince?"

Little Six forced himself to be calm and continued to tidy up, "Ah Lang, he went to the palace to say hello."

"Greetings, why didn't you follow?" Xiao Youqing asked suspiciously.

"Alang asked the servants to wait in the mansion for the eldest lady to come back."

"You're lying!" Xiao Youqing suddenly turned cold, "If you go to Da Nei to ask An Shishan, then why do you have fear in your eyes, where did the prince go?"

Xiao Liuzi knelt down on his knees in fright, "I really don't know about this, but I only know that Alang has entered the palace. Alang didn't say a word about what happened. Alang only asked the servant to tell the eldest lady that he will be fine!"

"Girl, Prince Zhao is here!"

Xiao Youqing looked down at Little Six with cold eyes, then turned around and left the study, "What is he here for?"

"Prince Zhao came here on horseback. When he got off the horse, he couldn't even breathe well. It seems that there is something urgent."

"What could make him such a prince?"

"It seems to be because of uncle."

Xiao Youqing paused, and immediately quickened his pace.

In the middle hall of Chu Palace, Wei Yunsheng stood with his waist in his arms. Seeing Xiao Youqing walk out, he panted, "Qing... brother and sister, something happened to Liu Lang!"

"Today, my father suddenly summoned me and the crown prince, and asked about the affairs of the country. The crown prince has already left the court. What my father meant was that he had plans to let our brothers leave the court. I summoned Liulang, the prince is still there, I don’t know what he said to his father, his father beat him thirty court sticks angrily, and he will be imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple, I just want to help him, now Mrs. Li is my wife Clan, I absolutely cannot..."

"It's not enough to achieve success, but it's more than failure. Just like you, you still want to fight the prince?" Xiao Youqing changed from his previous gentleness, and walked past Wei Yunsheng very indifferently.

Wei Yunsheng was intimidated by her, "I was wrong before, but now that the crown prince is out of the court, those ministers have defected one after another, and the prince dare not touch me with my father, so his next target must be the Xiao family!"

This made Xiao Youqing stop and turn around.

Seeing her condensed face soften for a moment, Wei Yunsheng went further: "At this moment the palace gate has been unlocked, and I have a flying bridge in Prince Zhao's Mansion!"

In front of the Hall of Wende, cold water woke up the person who had fainted from the pain. The pain under her body made her numb, and she felt that her body was no longer her own. At this moment, there was no temperature, and she could not feel any.

Only now did she understand that the resentment in the emperor's heart was so deep.

"22!"

"23!"

After several battles, blood has already been seen.

"24!"

"Business, the six kings fainted again!"

"Wake up!"

Hearing the shouts from outside the hall, Zhao Ci pulled a pity heart, "Your Majesty, the sixth prince is only seventeen this year, and he suffered from a serious illness when he was young, and his body is weak. These thirty sticks..."

"Zhao Ci, don't you want to suffer for him?"

"The six kings are also your own flesh and blood, why are you here!"

"Didn't you hear what he said today?" The emperor pointed outside the hall, "His two older brothers were fighting for the throne, and the Xiao family wanted to support him. He is a sinner through the ages!"

"But the Sixth Prince has always kept aloof from the world, this marriage, isn't it all..."

"It's different, it's different!" The emperor shook his head, "He's grown up, the cubs are adults, and they're going to eat people!"

Knowing that the emperor is very suspicious now, he is not only suspicious of the ministers, but even his own son is among them.

"If I had known this, I should have let him stay in Sichuan and never come back!"

"29, thirty!"

"Second uncle!"

When Xiao Youqing arrived, the court staff had already been finished, and only the unconscious King Chu was left in front of Wende Hall, with blood still dripping under the bench, imagining the pain was shocking.

"Young..." Xiao Xianfu made a long bow, "Princess Chu."

"My lord, she..."

Xiao Xianfu shook his head, waved to his subordinates, "Destroy into Zongzheng Temple."

"I want to see His Majesty."

Xiao Xianfu stopped Xiao Youqing, "This matter involves the previous court, it is no small matter, wait for your Weng Weng to come back."

Xiao Youqing glanced coldly at the gate of Wende Hall, then turned around immediately, "Did you call the imperial physician?"

"I ordered someone to go, the gate of the palace has been closed, how did the princess come in?"

Xiao Youqing had no time to take care of it, so she stopped several imperial guards from the Imperial City Division, and said anxiously, "Second Uncle, please bring the Imperial Physician Sun, and I will accompany the prince to the Zongzheng Temple!"

"I'm afraid it's against the rules..." Xiao Xianfu raised his head and glanced at Wende Hall.

"Your Majesty, from the sound, it seems that Princess Chu is here."

"The news about Chu Palace is very well-informed."

There was movement outside the hall, but there was no order from inside the hall. Xiao Xianfu sighed, "That's all." Then he waved his hand to let his people back away.

So the escort turned into an escort, and when Zongzheng Siqing heard the news, he hurriedly cleaned up a small room, Xiao Xianfu faithfully conveyed the criminal order, and the jade-document officer wrote down the draft of the decree rewards and punishments.

"Physician Sun, how is your lord?"

"Princess, please don't worry. The six kings only injured their flesh, and there is no danger to their lives. It's just that this injury requires a period of rest before they can get out of bed and move around. Before that, don't get wet with cold water."

"The decoction prepared will be delivered to the concubine in a short time by the subordinate officials. Take it twice a day. It may be more bitter than the usual decoction."

"Good medicine tastes bitter, I know."

"This is medicine for trauma, my princess..." Doctor Sun hesitated holding the porcelain bottle.

"Prince Sun, please don't worry. Even a foreign minister can keep his mouth shut. I, the Princess of Chu, are so."

Hearing Princess Chu's words, Imperial Physician Sun handed over the wound medicine, and then knelt down again, "The eldest son enters the Zongzheng Temple, either stripped of his rank and deposed as a common man, or given to death. Although I don't know why, I implore Wangfei, save me." Lord."

Xiao Youqing didn't have time to guess what the relationship between this Imperial Physician Sun and Concubine Li was, so she stepped forward and helped him up, "Do my best," looking sideways at the person on the couch, "Protect the emperor well."

After Sun Taiyi left, Xiao Xianfu went in and saw his most beloved little niece squatting on the side of the couch to wipe away sweat, "The king of Chu..."

"Second uncle, don't worry, the prince is fine."

Xiao Xianfu breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Youqing stood up, "Second Uncle take a step to speak."

"it is good."

"What is your Majesty's reason for being so ruthless? What's going on with this Zongzheng Temple?"

Xiao Xianfu shook his head lightly, "Your Majesty originally intended to let the two princes and the crown prince come out of the court together. According to the system, the prince will first go to the court to ask the emperor and then be assessed by the court of judges. Who knew that the king of Chu would ask Taizong to speak to the prince who was deposed by the previous dynasty?" The national policy has been stated in front of His Majesty."

"What national policy?"

"Because the abolished prince was dissatisfied with His Majesty, the King of Qi at that time, he was arrogating power. At that time, the king of Qi emphasized martial arts, and the prince respected literature, so the prince advanced this theory to Taizong. There is nothing wrong with implementing a benevolent government.

"Is this theory so important?"

"With this, the prince won the hearts of the people, which also made the king of Qi..." The king of Qi almost didn't fight for the prince. Xiao Xianfu followed the emperor since he was a child and was a member of the palace of the king of Qi. He was well aware of this, but dared not speak out.

Even Xiao Youqing didn't know about this matter. After hearing some explanations, he said sneeringly: "The kings in ancient times are most disgusted by the world's reputation and criticism. The abolished prince is a benevolent monarch. He took the benevolent monarch, so he is naturally afraid of being mentioned. something about it."

"Not many people know about this matter now. You, Weng Weng, didn't even tell you. How did the King of Chu know? Everyone's articles and initial test styles are different. Those words in the articles will not be the same or similar, I guess, this matter must have been deliberately done by someone, could it be the crown prince?"

"Whether it's the crown prince or not, the Zhengdan dynasty will be here soon. If something like this happens, it will be impossible for the prince to come out of the court."

"uncertain."

"Second Uncle, do you have any countermeasures?"

Xiao Xianfu shook his head, "Although I don't have one, you, Weng Weng, will be able to arrive in Beijing tomorrow."

"Weng Weng is old, and he is running around like this." Xiao Youqing was a little worried.

"Even if there is nothing wrong with the King of Chu, you, Weng Weng, will come back on the first day of the first lunar month. Although I am now on official business in the Imperial City, Your Majesty is very suspicious, so I can't speak for anyone."

"Youqing knows, I have to thank my second uncle today."

Xiao Xianfu was stunned suddenly, and stared at Xiao Youqing for a long time, "Youqing, since you married into the Chu Palace, I always feel that you have changed a bit, you have become different."

Xiao Youqing slightly opened her eyebrows and sighed, "Really, maybe."
