Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

Years of guilt and the pressure in front of her finally completely crushed Concubine Song, who had already had a disturbed conscience.

Almost in a state of redemption, she knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes, and confessed to Ming Tan everything she knew and what the Wanning Party had done over the years.

"..."

After hearing the truth, Ming Tan was silent for a while, then turned his head and looked at Lin Shurong, his eyes full of shock that couldn't be concealed.

"Concubine Wan..."

Relying on her father's support, Concubine Ning has been lawless in the palace, which is a well-known card for everyone.

She never thought that Concubine Wan, known for being "gentle, quiet, gentle and courteous", would be the black hand behind the scenes who secretly formed a party with the former and attacked the emperor's heir together.

However, what Concubine Song said was clear and well-organized, every word was crying blood, it didn't seem like these things were randomly planted on Concubine Wan.

Ming Tan pondered for a while, and could only confirm that—that virtuous and virtuous Concubine Wan was actually a duplicity, kind-hearted and cruel ghost.

"Looking at it this way, the two of them have murdered no less than four children. It's really daring!"

Ming Tan quickly calculated in his mind, his heart suddenly felt cold, and he murmured: "Perhaps earlier, they did more outrageous things..."

She pinched the palm of her hand and pursed her lips violently. She didn't know what she thought of at this moment, and her expression suddenly became sullen.

"...that's all the concubine knows."

Guifei Song was still kneeling softly on the ground, her face as desperate as ashes, but there was a trace of relief hidden in her eyes, and she said in a hoarse voice: "I know that I have been working for tigers for many years, and I am sorry for the infant spirits under the spring. Wrong soul. The princess wants to be killed, and the concubines are willing to be punished. I just ask you to spare my poor son, he really doesn't know anything about it..."

Ming Tan sneered, and asked without answering: "A few months ago, in the early summer, when you clashed with Mrs. Jing in the Imperial Garden, was the maid you brought with you the same Qiubai you mentioned just now?"

Song Guibi was startled, opened her eyes wide, and looked at Ming Tan with a cold expression in disbelief.

After a long while, she lowered her head in a trance, and said with a low and sad smile: "It turns out that the princess already understood at that time..."

"It's just a glimpse," Ming Tan said, "She looks very similar to her sister, and I will never forget Xia Tao's blood-stained face in my life."

— Concubine Ning wanted to kill her.She came to kill me.

Ming Tan thought with a sneer.

Everyone is a pawn at the mercy of others, how sad.

"Since that's the case, don't hide it from the princess. The concubine insisted on snatching the peony that Mrs. Jing liked that day. Apart from deliberately embarrassing her, she actually had something to do with Qiubai."

Song Guifei said slowly: "After Xia Tao committed suicide, my concubine used some means to bury her in the imperial garden. Occasionally, she would secretly take Qiubai to worship. And the day I met the princess happened to be Xia Tao's wife. On her birthday, Qiubai said that she loved peony the most, and wanted to bring one to her sister's grave, so..."

That's why there was a conflict with Jinggui, that's why Mingtan was suspicious, and that's why today's coincidence happened.

Lin Shurong stood a few steps away, staring at Ming Tan's slender but tall back, a little lost in thought.

From the beginning of summer to the current severe winter, I am afraid that after recognizing Qiubai, the little princess began to follow this line to investigate secretly, and she had already obtained the truth about her poisoning back then.

But she clearly held the handle, but she kept holding back, only waiting for the most opportune time, to seize the weakness of the sixth prince Ming Ye, and defeat Song Guifei who was already shaken in one fell swoop.

When did she grow up?

"Anyway, Concubine Song, you once drugged Wen Jieyu to cause infertility, and you didn't report the fact that Concubine Ning ordered Xia Tao to murder the princess, and now you tried to poison the former again... All of them, added up, are all unforgivable crimes."

Ming Tan lowered his eyes, glanced at the embarrassing and crying woman in front of him without emotion, and said coldly: "When I report this matter to Emperor Father, Concubine Ning will definitely push the matter to you. Then you How can I defend myself? ... And who will take away the sixth prince and raise him?"

Mentioning Ming Ye again, Song Guibi's body suddenly trembled, kowtowed and cried: "I want to tell the princess everything, just want to ask the princess to show mercy, so that my son will not fall into the hands of Shen Shi and Zhu Shi!"

Concubine Wan's name is Shen Ruofu, and Concubine Ning's name is Zhu Xisheng; the Shen family and Zhu family that Song Guifei mentioned naturally refer to her two.

Seeing that the other party had given up her respectful title at this time, as if showing sincerity, Ming Tan stopped playing around with her, and simply said directly: "Concubine Wan Gui is very clever, and she knows how to protect herself wisely, and she hardly ever does anything personally. It's not that easy to overthrow her; but Concubine Ning has become much more rampant these years, relying on her father Zhu Zhishen's power in the court, she can almost be said to be lawless, and her things are not as thorough as before..."

If Concubine Ning hadn't taken it lightly, Ming Tan wouldn't have had the chance to find Qiu Bai as a breakthrough.

Concubine Song Gui took a breath, seemed to understand suddenly, and immediately bowed her head and said: "Concubine... There are some letters between Concubine Ning and Concubine in the concubine's palace! I would like to use my plan and tell the truth at the New Year's banquet. Mrs. Chen, I just ask the princess to protect my son Mingye from being harmed by Mrs. Chen!"

Sacrificing her and bringing down Concubine Ning's mountain is undoubtedly the easiest and fastest way.

As expected of a person who can be used by Concubine Ning for many years, his mind is quite flexible.

Ming Tan glanced at her meaningfully, and said slowly: "Although this is enough to reveal what Concubine Ning has done, as an accomplice, you will certainly not be able to escape the punishment of the palace regulations, is your empress ready? "

"The concubine bears the debt of injustice, and whatever happens to her will be retribution," Song Guibi said sadly, "As long as Ye'er can find a good home, the concubine will be content."

"..."

Ming Tan sighed, nodded lightly, and said lightly: "Okay. I promise to the empress——as long as you expose Concubine Ning's evil deeds at the New Year banquet as promised, this princess will definitely persuade the queen mother to protect the sixth prince. Don't let him be murdered by villains!"

At this time, after hearing her words, Song Guipin finally let go of her strength, collapsed on the ground, and burst into tears.

"Thank you Princess Nine, thank you Princess Nine for your kindness..."

——The woman in front of me is hateful and pitiful.

Ming Tan looked at Song Guibi and thought in his heart: It is true that she has harmed others, but why is she forced to do nothing?

The women in the harem are like a garden full of flowers competing for splendor. On the surface, they bloom colorfully and beautifully, but if you cut open the soil, you can find bones buried under the roots of each plant.

How can there be real cleanliness?

……

"You were surprisingly seldom talkative just now."

On the way back to Kunning Palace side by side, Ming Tan turned his face and said to Lin Shurong, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

"Your Highness has handled this matter very well." Lin Shurong said softly, "To take down Concubine Song, I will use my tricks to reveal the true face of Concubine Ning at the annual banquet... The means and timing are just right, there is nothing for me to comment on. "

"Well, you'd better put your beak on it," Ming Tan stretched out his hand, grabbed her arm, and bent his eyes, "Miss Lin doesn't comment, but I'm really worried."

I didn't want to hit the little princess who had just done a great thing by herself, but since she took the initiative to say that, Lin Shurong hesitated for a moment, organized her words, and then spoke bluntly.

"Even if Song Guifei has evidence and is willing to stand up and report, she is really soft-spoken; don't forget, Zhu Shangshu holds a lot of power, and as long as he does something in the previous court and threatens, it is enough to make His Majesty cast a slap in the face ..."

"Oh, this one."

Ming Tan giggled, as if he had expected her to say that, tilted his head, and waved to Lin Shurong, beckoning him to come over.

The latter raised his eyebrows and lowered his waist. Ming Tan took advantage of the opportunity to put his arms around Lin Shurong's shoulders, lowered his voice, and said lazily in his ear: "Father Huang arranged for my third brother to join the household department a few days ago. What do you think it is for?"

"I know about this." Lin Shurong frowned slightly, "But the Third Highness will not be here for long..."

"You underestimate my third brother too much, he's been very busy recently!" Ming Tan pouted unhappily, "Furthermore, Father has been displeased with that stinky old man Zhu Zhishen for a long time... the last time Yuan There is a severe drought in the state, he doesn't know how to restrain himself, he has been pinched by the emperor a lot, and he has been waiting to deal with him for a long time!"

Lin Shurong turned his head to look at her in a daze, and asked late, "Would it be bad for His Highness to tell me this kind of political affairs...?"

"What's wrong?"

Just now, Ming Tan was a little tired after pretending to be coercive to Concubine Song for so long, so he just lay on her body and said slowly, "My lord prime minister has devoted himself to Tian Cheng, and you have also worked hard for this princess. If a family doesn’t speak two languages, we’ve already been together—”

What a family.

Lin Shurong gave a "puchi" laugh, and secretly laughed inwardly.

She stretched out her hand to support the other party, making Ming Tan more comfortable to lean on, and said softly: "Since Your Highness knows that I am working hard for you... Then please tell me honestly, are you done with yesterday's government simulation book?"

The little princess on her shoulders froze suddenly.

"Mr. Qin was very satisfied after reviewing your final exam papers last time, and he also told me to give you a few exam papers—"

"Repay kindness with revenge!"

Ming Tan hurriedly jumped up from her body, interrupted Lin Shurong's demonic whispers, and said angrily: "Dismantle the partner! Dismantle the partner! One day I will fire you, a black-hearted devil companion!"

After a few more moderate snowfalls, the twelfth lunar month has come to an end.

The second prince, Minghui, came back from a business trip in Qianzhou a few days ago. Hearing that the achievements were outstanding and the emperor was very pleased, he made a decision on the spot to let him join the official department.

The Ministry of Officials is really a good place to go. This arrangement has caused some subtle changes in the wind direction of the front court and the rear palace. Anyway, according to Ming Tan's observation, Ming Yao's waist in the study room has been straightened up a lot recently, and his face is also very serious. He often laughs, presumably because his biological brother came back to celebrate the New Year and is very popular with his father.

Things always pile up at the end of the year, and the emperor has always been diligent in his administration. Even on New Year's Day, he never sealed the seal in advance. He brought the Manchu civil and military officials to work until the New Year's Eve. for a while.

In the end, before he could say a few words with Empress Ming Jing, he was dragged by Ming Tan to write a bunch of Spring Festival couplets.

"I've been busy for a long time. I just went to court. I'm clearly planning to come to Kunning Palace for the festival. Why do I give you a white job here?"

With a swipe of the pen, the emperor wrote a messy "Fu" on the red paper that Ming Tan had cut out by himself, and pretended to complain: "Longlin will really make trouble for the emperor."

"Isn't it a festival to write couplets?" Ming Tan was very dissatisfied, put down the small scissors in his hand, twisted up the piece of paper and looked at it for a while, rolled his eyes, "Your word is too ugly!"

"..." The emperor glared at her, "This is the imperial brush!"

"It's so ugly, I don't want to paste it on the door of the palace." Ming Tan pouted, pushed a new piece of paper over, and threatened, "If you don't write well, I will paste the inside and outside of the house into three pieces. Brother’s calligraphy, I won’t leave even half of it for you!”

"..."

The inexplicable desire to win and lose increased.

"Cut some more paper!"

The emperor was silent for a while, and said angrily: "I also wrote the couplet on your door!"

……

Before I knew it, the sun was setting and it was night in a blink of an eye.

Concubine Ning spent a long time picking out clothes in the palace, and finally chose a red cloud brocade embroidered with peony and gold patterns. After being praised several times by the nuns beside her, she put on a set of ruby ​​headgear with satisfaction. , slowly said: "How, this color can match the complexion of this Palace?"

"The empress is naturally beautiful, she looks good in anything she wears!"

Ever since Yao Xiang got the beating from Ming Tan, the big palace maid next to Concubine Ning has changed to a new one, a girl named Chun Co, who has a sweet mouth and understands people's eyes.

Chun Co said with a smile: "Look at this magnificent hairpin... and put on this dress, it's really incredible! The empress is sure to be the most beautiful beauty at the banquet!"

"You're the only girl who can talk." Concubine Ning was so flattered by the praise, she casually rewarded her with a golden prick, turned her head to admire her face in the bronze mirror for a while, and couldn't help but feel more smiling.

As long as you think about it——today's New Year's banquet is to solve Wen Jieyu's scheduled bombing.Concubine Ning was naturally delighted at the timing of playing.

She must first be shamed in the public, and her face will be disgraced; then her body will be gradually eroded by chronic poison, and she will continue to grow old and ugly, unable to seek medical treatment, and die miserably... Only then can she repay her humiliation of being pointed at her nose Deep hatred!

And it can be done once and for all, so that the truth of her three pregnancies will be sealed forever, which is really a great joy.

Concubine Ning stretched out her hand and straightened the top hairpin on her hair. The fine gemstone flashed a stream of light in the mirror, making it look even more crimson like blood.

"Your Majesty, it's the hour of You, we should go to Xingqing Palace."

The nanny leaned forward and reminded in a low voice: "Today is an auspicious day, and the empress is dressed so gracefully, it's better to arrive earlier so that all the palaces know that you are the most beautiful peony flower." !"

Concubine Ning narrowed her eyes, she was very satisfied with the flattery, she nodded and said: "Well, yes, it should be so. Let's put it in Xingqing Palace!"

She can't wait...she can't wait to see Wen Jieyu's pipa show.
