[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

No.16 Chapter Changed to Yuan 07

"Before the saint went to the palace, I sent a confidant palace servant to accompany him. Last night, the palace servant fled back to Chang'an desperately, and told this palace about the disaster..." Queen Wang didn't hide it, anyway, who is the woman in the harem? Those who don't want to put one or two people around the saint, as the queen of the main palace, it's only natural for her to put people around the saint.

But Chu Suiliang never saw this kind of thing, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, and said: "I don't know where the palace man is, the old minister wants to inquire about the details of the palace..."

Mrs. Wei Guo couldn't help being a little displeased when she heard what Chu Suiliang said. She just felt that Chu Suiliang didn't pay much attention to the queen, and she came here as if she didn't trust her.

Queen Wang felt that Chu Suiliang was more cautious, so she asked her confidant female officer to call the palace man.

At this time, Liu Shi also rushed to Anren Hall. Seeing that Chu Suiliang had arrived, he hurried forward to greet him.

"Mr. Chu..."

Seeing that he was the queen's uncle, Chu Suiliang just nodded slightly, and replied lightly: "Mr. Liu..."

Although the two were at the same level, Chu Suiliang still had the name of a minister of the former emperor Tuogu. Except for Changsun Wuji and Li Ji, other officials in this court couldn't help but feel inferior in front of him.

Therefore, Liu Xun didn't think there was anything wrong with Chu Suiliang's indifferent attitude towards Liu Xun.

However, Liu Shi's respect for Chu Suiliang made the two women present have bad thoughts.

Mrs. Liu of the State of Wei originally saw her brother coming, and her heart became three points more courageous, but Chu Suiliang was so arrogant, seeing Liu Shi sitting still, Liu couldn't help being a little annoyed.

And Empress Wang has always been proud of her surname, and she also relies a lot on her uncle's family. She never knew that her uncle still needs to bow down to others!

The two women were unhappy in their hearts, but they didn't show much on their faces.

As for Chu Suiliang, who was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, he never thought that his unintentional action would cause dissatisfaction with the leader of the same interest group, and thus lead to death...

This is something later.

But it is said that there were two palace people who fled back to Chang'an from the palace, one was of course Wang Huanghou's person, and the other was Xu Zhaorong's person.

Back then Xu Hui was favored by His Majesty Li Er, she was once the most favored concubine in the palace, and she also had several confidantes.

After Xu Hui passed away, all these people were given to Xu Xiaomei.

Xu Xiaomei was originally only focused on raising 22 Niang and didn't care about the affairs of the palace, but Concubine Xiao and the Queen were fighting with each other, and she was the concubine with the best family background besides the two, how could she stay out of it?

So, Xu Xiaomei began to use the people her sister had left for her.

On the one hand, he was falsely responding to the story with the queen, and on the other hand, he was pretending to be a snake with Concubine Xiao Gui, so at least he had a place in the palace.

The person who went to the palace this time was not intentionally arranged by her, but that palace servant had served Wu Xu before, and when the king's servant selected Wu Xu, she was chosen...

It is also because this palace has a lot of lives. At that time, she was washed out of the palace by the flood and fell into the West Sea. Then she drifted along the river to another small county town hundreds of miles away from the palace, where she was found by a search boat. .

After she was rescued, she rushed back to Chang'an day and night, and told Xu Zhaorong the news about the palace.

22 Niangyi listened to her like a father, the emperor's brother and godmother Wu Xu didn't know if they were alive or dead, and almost passed out!

These two people are her big backers in the palace!

Wu Xu's son came here on a special trip to tell her that he was going to find a good family for her to marry. The dowry was almost ready, and such a big thing happened...

22 Niang cried earth-shatteringly, but Xu Zhaorong was very calm.

"My lord, don't cry in a hurry. In my opinion, the Queen and the others may have already got the news..."

As he said that, Xu Zhaorong asked his confidantes A Fang and Hong Xing to find out what was going on in each palace.

The two palace servants took orders to go, and came back in less than a cup of tea.

"My lady, the empress suddenly issued a ban, and people from all palaces are not allowed to walk around at will!"

"Auntie, what does the empress mean?" 22 Niang suddenly stopped crying and asked in confusion.

Xu Zhaorong couldn't help but sneered, and said: "What else can she do, she is going to take advantage of the chaos to seize power!"

"Concubine Xiao Gui may be in trouble!"

22 Niang is also Li's daughter, and she has Xu Hui's smart genes. When she heard her aunt's words, she immediately understood.

"Then how do we avoid disaster?"

Xu Zhaorong couldn't help laughing when she heard 22 Niang's words: "Your master, what are you worried about? The queen said that the ones who are afraid are only Xiao Shi and his son. My aunt has no children. Not only will she not touch me, but she will also try her best to win me over." ..."

"So, Gu and Auntie just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?" 22 Niang couldn't help wrinkling her nose when she heard this, and said displeasedly: "I don't like either of these two women! I don't believe that the godmother will So dead!"

"My aunt doesn't believe it either..." Xu Zhaorong touched 22 Niang's head, and said in a low voice, "It is said that the Son of Heaven has a hundred gods to protect his body, so that every danger can be turned into good fortune..."

"Well, what my aunt said is..." 22 Niang nodded after hearing this, wiped away her tears, and showed a dignified look that a princess should have.

"From today onwards, Caisi Academy is optimistic about the portal and must not act alone!"

So, seeing that Xu Zhaorong and 22 Niang were so cautious and guarded their doors, the concubines who had made good friends with the Caisi Academy didn't dare to inquire about the news at will - this invisibly helped the queen a lot.

In contrast to Queen Wang, Concubine Xiao hoped that the situation would become chaotic.

Although Concubine Xiao's spies failed to bring any news from the palace, she learned about the two husbands entering the palace one after another from the secret agent in the palace of the queen.Someone from the Xiao family also accompanied the palace, and soon there was news that the palace was destroyed by the flood.

However, under the deliberate arrangement of His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, all the information passed to Chang'an did not include the part about Shengjia's safety.

"Is there no news about the saint's life or death?" Concubine Xiao nervously tore at the cloak on her arm, her pretty face turned a bit hideous.

Her confidant palace man knelt on the couch, didn't even dare to lift his head, and said in a low voice: "My lady, don't panic, the saint is the Son of Heaven, so he shouldn't..."

"Nonsense! How could a saint be flooded..." Concubine Xiao Gui couldn't even say that word herself, she could only walk back and forth on the couch irritably.

"Is there really no further news?"

"Reporting to my lady, the empress has ordered all the palaces to be confined, and the servant girl can't go out to inquire again..." The confidant comrade expressed his helplessness.

"Okay, you go down first!" Concubine Xiao Gui had no choice but to wave people back.

Yang Shanggong at the side said at this time: "My lady, don't worry, this old slave looks weird, my lady has to wait and see what happens..."

"Shang Gong, don't make sarcastic remarks, how can I just wait and see how things change now!"

"Once the crown prince ascends the throne, Ben Gong and Su Jie will die!"

In the past, the queen and queen had no sons, so once the saint died, it might not be clear who would win the battle!

Now, the queen has a prince as an adopted son. Without a saint, she is a sure-fire queen mother!

So what's the use of having more sons?

Without the protection of His Majesty the Emperor, these favorite concubines can only wait to be dealt with by the Queen even if they are capable.

Think about Mrs. Qi back then...

Even if Queen Wang is not as cruel as Queen Lu, she will never let her have a good life!

Concubine Xiao Gui's panic can be imagined.

Yang Shanggong, however, said the old god: "My lady, listen to this old slave..."

"If the sage really died in the palace, the news would never have reached Chang'an so quickly!"

Concubine Xiao Gui couldn't help but wondered when she heard this, "Why is this?"

"Madam, have you forgotten about the late emperor?" His Majesty Li Er died in the palace, but the accompanying assistant ministers kept the funeral secret. They first sent Chu Suiliang to Beijing to release Li Ji from his official position, and mobilized the imperial palace to escort the crown prince. After returning to Chang'an, the funeral was announced.

If something unexpected happens to His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, he should follow the example of the previous emperor and keep his funeral secret!

How could it be possible for the disturbing news of the saint's whereabouts to be spread to Chang'an? !

Concubine Xiao Gui was right when she thought about it, she said to Yang Shanggong: "According to Shanggong's meaning, the saint should be safe and sound~~ Then how come there is such a shocking news?"

Yang Shanggong said: "This is exactly what this old slave doesn't understand..."

"Not only is the saint's life and death unknown, but even the life and death of several ministers are unknown. This is really strange!"

Concubine Xiao Gui listened to the words, pondered for a while, and said: "This palace will follow Shanggong's words, let's wait and see the changes..."

After finishing speaking, she added, "I'm still worried about Shiro, Shanggong will think of a way to bring him back to Yanjia Hall..."

"Don't worry, my lady, this old servant will not disgrace his mission..." Yang Shanggong hurriedly responded, and hurried out to find a way.

Dark waves are turbulent here in Chang'an, but everyone in the palace is doing one thing with one heart, which is disaster relief.

This flash flood caused not only heavy losses to the palace, but also several villages next to the palace.

At least half of the more than 3000 people killed and injured were ordinary people in the village.

On the second day after the disaster, His Majesty Li Xiaojiu went to inspect several villages with several ministers in person, extended cordial condolences to the affected people, and promised to pay attention to the post-disaster reconstruction work. He also said that several counties near the palace can be exempted from taxes for one year. .In addition, every household affected by the disaster received gold baht, cloth and other items personally given by His Majesty Li Xiaojiu as condolences.

In this way, the lofty image of His Majesty Li Xiaojiu in the hearts of the common people immediately became vivid and three-dimensional...

Wu Xu originally wanted to go with her, but Mother Wu refused to let her go, for fear that she would run around and lose the child!

"Aniang, what are you worried about? I'm in good health~~~~" Wu Xu sat on the couch, dumbfounded, and said to Yang: "The sage is going to condolences to the people. As the concubine of the sage, I should naturally do my best Responsibility……"

Yang was amused by Wu Xu's words, "You are a concubine, what responsibility should you fulfill? Don't you give birth to a prince?" Gu Chong is king!

Speaking of this, Yang glanced at Wu Shun intentionally or unintentionally, and continued: "Hua Niang, don't look at the saint doting on you now, there are so many people in this palace waiting to take your seat, you Don't be careless!"
