It was midnight at the backyard of Jinguo Grand Princess’s mansion outside the waterside pavilion.
The spears and halberds were glistening.
The whirling snow was pervaded with a stern atmosphere.
“This place is surrounded on three sides by water, only with the long winding bridge linked to the bank.” Inside the waterside pavilion, Jinguo Grand Princess, sitting on the bench, said grimly, “The long bridge is guarded by tens of guards and Jiayue is on watch at the gate. Therefore, whatever is uttered here only stays between you and me!”
Song Yixiao knelt down without hesitation. “I don’t deserve your love, Mother!”
The Grand Princess answered with a poker face, “Now confess!”
“I do hold grudge against Cui Jianlian!” Originally, Song Yixiao planned to confess to her mother-in-law. Now the Grand Princess even kept Jian Xubai from staying inside, which clearly suggested her bias for Song Yixiao. In this case, i
Song Yixiao took a deep breath and put on a peaceful look, saying calmly, “Mother, do you remember this? As I said just now, according to my stepmother, it is not only the Liu Family but also the Jin Family who collude with Cui Jianlian in the conspiration against me.”“Exactly, but it should not be Jin Suke’s idea?” The Grand Princess said seriously. “Jin Suke is not such a person, but some of his descendants are rather disappointing!”“If I’m right, the reason why the Jin Family interferes with this matter must be that the second young mistress in Prince of Hengshan’s mansion acts as a go-between!” Song Yixiao said. “Xubai tells me that the Jin Family hasn’t shown the attitude in court by far?”The Grand Princess said with a frown, “You want to force the Jin Family to support the Crown Prince with this? It is kind of a merit, but I don’t think it will let the Noble Consort vent her anger. You’ve underestimated how mad a person of an exalted p
Song Yixiao said calmly, “Mother, think about this. If Cui Jianlian claims that she has been fallen for Lu Guanlun since her childhood and that she never wants to be a concubine of the Crown Prince, what consequence does the Cui Family will face?”It was a sin of deceiving the Noble Consort and coaxing the Crown Prince!Particularly, it was the Empress Dowager’s imperial decree to let Cui Jianlian enter the Eastern Palace. Actually, the decree was requested by Noble Consort Cui to the Empress Dowager in order to earn respect for her niece. However, her niece just had no interest in the Crown Prince!By then, even the Noble Consort would have to apologize to the Empress Dowager for the failure to know her niece well and to disrespect for the crown prince!After all, although she was the birth mother of the Crown Prince, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Xianjia were still alive. Hence, it was not the time for her to put on airs!
“Apart from seeing Lady Nuan at today’s feast, I only met her on the birthday of Her Highness Princess Yushan,” Song Yixiao said, “Therefore, I don’t know much about this lady’s temperament. Currently, there are two possibilities about her action. Either it was an honest mistake or she did it on purpose!”She hedged and said, “I think she did it on purpose!”“Why?”“Even the side hall is within the imperial palace!” Song Yixiao lowered her head and said, “When I left, I took a look at the door and the wall. They are made of quality wood, so they should be sound-proof. At that time, it was snowing heavily outside! Moreover, during the conversation, Cui Jianlian and I didn’t talk loudly! Therefore, since Lady Nuan could talk of the most important content of the conversation, I suspect that she was eavesdropping against the door! Otherwise, she could only have heard one or two words!”How could she not consider that someone might be l
When Song Yixiao woke up, she was a bit alarmed and panicked to see the familiar bed net.“Your Highness!” Upon noticing her wake up, Jinxun walked inside with a basin on her hands, saying with concern, “You are finally awake! Would you like to sleep for another while? His Highness said that you might sleep more if you felt tired. After all, there is nothing to worry about in the mansion.”Then she lowered her voice, “As to the tumult that happened in the imperial palace yesterday, His Highness said that the Grand Princess would handle it and that you didn’t need to worry about it!”“When did we come back?” Song Yixiao fetched the warm handkerchief and put it on her face, asking, “Is Xubai out? Where has he gone?”Amidst walking to the coat rack and getting the outfit for her, Jinxun said, “His Highness came back after the street gate was opened this morning. At that time, you were sleeping and it was His Highness who carried you i
Jian Xubai didn’t look happy when he was back.As his wife walked forward, he only glanced at her. After taking off his coat, he even deliberately avoided Song Yixiao’s stretched-out hands and passed it to Ji Su behind him.Ji Su instantly shuddered and almost dropped the coat on the ground. Did the couple fall out only after spending a few days together? It was still in the first lunar month.He was thinking in great trepidation about how to mediate between the couple. Unexpectedly, Song Yixiao turned around and smiled at him, saying with an amicable face, “You must be tired after serving Xubai for the whole day. Now just let the maids take it from here and you can leave and have a rest!”Ji Su has no other choice but to leave, laden with anxiety.When he left, Song Yixiao gestured the maids to leave too, poured a bowl of hot tea and offered it to Jian Xubai, saying respectfully, “I’m here for my husband’s punishment!
“According to the imperial rules, only the concubines above the officially third-rank are considered as consorts, who can live in the main room, manage a palace and raise the imperial descendants!” Yuan Xuepei heaved a sigh, “Hypothetically, Princess Feinuan is only promoted by two grades and remains as a side fourth-rank talented lady. Even if she gives birth to a baby for His Majesty, she can only be promoted to a side third-rank concubine due to pregnancy and labor. It happens that she won’t be eligible to raise her own child!”Although it hadn’t been a month since Feinuan miscarried last time, she was adored by the emperor now and she was much healthier than the ladies of the Great Rui. If there was no accident, she would get pregnant again soon.“Moreover, there is no leading consort in the Palace of Lanqiu she resides at,” Jian Xubai said, “Therefore, my auntie can adopt her child if any!”If there was any leading consort in the Palace of
Just a few days before the imperial feast of the Lantern Festival, Song Yixiao consummated the marriage with her husband. Thus, of course she couldn’t be pregnant now.She didn’t know that Yuan Xuepei was speculating about her idea up her sleeve. Even if she did, she couldn’t tell him!Over the past years, she and Yuan Xue’e had been real friends but their friendship was not so deep that she could forget what Zhiqin had suffered. Now Song Yixiao was blowing her stack, “I’m fine that You Qingchun and her child have been taken away but how can they take away Ms. Zhao too? Are you all dead? I got up before noon. Why did you tell me now?”Of course, she was furious!She took no action against You Qingchun before surely to slacken Cui Jianlian’s vigilance. Now that she had confessed the whole plan to her mother-in-law, how could she not talk with You Qingchun?Song Yixiao could ignore her but she cared about her foster nurs
“What about Lu Kou’er?” Jian Xubai looked into her eyes for a while, asking, “What has she done to you?”As Song Yixiao appeared confused, he reminded her, “You claimed in the imperial palace that Cui Jianlian asked you to make room for Lu Kou’er, so did Lu Kou’er also hurt you before?”“Not like that,” Song Yixiao finally took a tumble and then ruminated for a while, saying, “At that time, I only wanted to disrupt Cui Jianlian’s plan with a reasonable excuse, for which I had to mention her. Besides, I hoped to take the opportunity to cast in a bone between Dowager Consort of Hengshan and Cui Jianlian.”Speaking of that, she stayed silent for a moment and then said, “There is one more reason. Before the Spring Festival, Yiren paid me a visit and revealed in secret that when I feigned illness, Lu Kou’er tried to get close to you under the guise of visiting me for several times. I don’t want to take revenge on her, but neither do I feel like taki
At this moment, the Grand Princess of Jin's residence.Jia Yao gently picked up the silver pot on the table and poured warm rose dew into the giltsilver begonia marigold, the sound of the flower dew entering the marigold seemed particularly silent against the backdrop of the whirling winter rain outside the window.The north wind rolled through the court, lifting up a snowy mist, and the obviously warm springlike interior was flooded with a chill for no apparent reason.She suddenly heard the sound of a rustling of the Chinese tent, and busily set aside the silver pot that had only been halfpoured, turning to check just in time to see the palefaced Grand Princess of Jin rising tremblingly to her feet."Is Your Highness thirsty?" Jia Yao took three steps to the edge of the couch and held the master, on one side taking a hidden bag from the side and padding it behind the Grand Princess so that she could lean more comfortably, and on the other side she said wit
With this sudden question, even though Jian Xu Bai has always been deeply favored by the Empress Dowager, he could not help but feel creeped out!He was stunned for a moment before he got up and left the couch, kneeling down in front of the Empress Dowager, and said in a deep voice ''Why did Imperial Grandmother make such a remark? I don't dare to say that I don't have any selfishness, but I have never thought of usurping the throne! The reason why I will support His Highness King Su to ascend to the throne, apart from worrying about Second Auntie, is also because His Highness King Su has the qualifications of a wise ruler, and can succeed the late Emperor's divine warrior!"Taking a deep breath, he knocked heavily on the ground, "I never thought of betraying Lu!""Good boy, mourning home but just so ask, why do you have to be so solemn?" The dowager empress looked at him with complicated eyes, bent down to help each other, sighed, "Mourning family naturally believ
In fact, the large empire, to say that no one can really stop that so far still silent Yu Qinghan may not be the problem is, whether the empire can hold, related to the entire Qingzhou Su's future!Therefore, the first and foremost thing that the candidate for guarding the city should do is to make the Su family trust him, otherwise, even if he is talented, the Su family will not be able to give him this important task!And because of the Marquis of Yan's support for King Su, even though there is now a disconnect between the Su family and the Su family, they are unanimous on the big issue of supporting King Su to ascend to the throne so Su Shaoge immediately considered Lv Qinghong of the Marquis of Yan after having no one at hand himself.As for the other generalship talents in the city, Su Shaoge could listen to their advice, but would definitely not give the forbidden army directly to their command!Now Su Bofeng said, if Lu Qinghong can't hold up Yu Qing
Uncle Lu is Lu Qinghong, the divine archer on the Wuhuan battlefield back in the day, Jian Xubai's right hand man although he is old, but also because of his age, even if Lu Qinghong has never been a commander before, in this kind of battle of defending the city, his rich experience in the sand field is the newcomer group of forbidden army is currently in urgent need of.After all, even Yang Jue himself, aside from yesterday's battle to seize the palace, had never experienced a real war.... In fact, last night s seizure of the palace could not be considered a war at all, but rather a sneak attack of a heavier nature.After understanding Su Shaoge's intention, Jianxu Bai pondered for a while and said, "Uncle Lu can lend it to you, however, he can't go with you right away, I have to give him a few words of advice!"Su Shaoge breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I should!""Uncle Lv, in your opinion, is Su Zhiyong really not confident in relying on Yang
Originally, according to Su Shaoge's intention, with Song Yixiao to take away the Jiangnan Hall secret guards "with the wind" after the token, directly erase Song Yixiao in two times to get together the token through the "with the wind" of the master, nailed Gu Shao.So send the Su family early infiltration into the "with the wind" people in fact, not necessarily "with the wind" in the people, anyway, the secret guards in addition to the internal no one knows, "Dai Feng" things to kill people are the same. "Dai Feng" to do things to kill people, recorded in the "with the wind" account is the same.Anyway, when Yang Jue led his troops into the palace, the heads that were thrown in front of He Wenqiong were all killed by "Gu Shao's secret guards from the Song family".In addition to dragging Gu Shao into the water, forcing him to help stabilize the situation and people's hearts afterwards, this is also to create the false impression that "you see, Minister Gu actual
This sudden palace change lasted until the faintest light of day, when the sound of swords and guns shouting and killing gradually subsided.But the panic in the imperial capital, from the royal family and officials down to the peddlers, could not end yet the day had already dawned, but the gates of the imperial capital's workshops still had no intention of opening."There are two pieces of news, one good and one bad." Su Shaoge reappeared in the flower hall of Marquis Yan's mansion, his face unable to tell if he was happy or angry, "The good news is that last night's takeover of the palace went very smoothly, inside and outside of the imperial city, no, it should be within the imperial capital, it's all already within our grasp!"But the bad news is very bad, "The forbidden troops sent to Wei's house missed their mark, allowing Wei Xi to escape up the city wall and let down at night!"If it was just one Wei Xi, Su Shaoge wouldn't be worried, the problem is,
After a moment of silence in the hall, Bell said in a hard tone, "Then why did Grandma hand over the 'Follow the Wind' token to Second Duke Su just now? In case he took it ...""Have you noticed?" Song Yixiao's gaze was icy cold as he said, "I only gave him the token, and he didn't ask for anything else I remember when I only had half of the token in my hand, I had asked him for advice on the matter of the Six Valves' secret guards, and he said that the token could first and foremost only be used by the head of the family, and only by the head of the family who had reached the age of the bundle of hair! Of course I am the only one left in the Jiangnan Hall's direct line now, so of course this rule is not so strict. But, he's neither under me nor is he anyone of mine, and he can actually mobilize 'Follow the Wind' with just the token! What do you think that means?!"Bell was slightly lost in thought and said ''So there are Su family members in the 'Follow the Wind'? But
Su Shaoge mildly said, "Of course it's useful when your father gifted the dark guards to Gu Shao, although it wasn't announced to the public, my Su family heard about it."He paused here, giving Song Yixiao a moment to think, before continuing, "So if there is a 'Follow the Wind' out there right now, it's always easier to do the aftermath, I don't know what Grandma thinks?"Song Yixiao stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist and mused.She understands the meaning of Su Shaoge's words, the socalled "I have heard of the Su family", meaning that they have the evidence of Song Yuan to Gu Shao's gift of secret guards, then this interception of He Wenqiong, as long as the "with the wind" is involved, regardless of whether the order comes from the Song Yixiao or Gu Shao, will be credited to Gu Shao's head in the end! The final result will be put on Gu Shao's head!So if you hold Gu Shao's handle, you can coerce Gu Shao to help the aftermath then the aftermath will
He Wenqiong is very disappointed to look at the screen outside the granddaughter's silhouette, although He Xiuyi did not enter the palace before, with his grandfather in fact not see a lot, but in the end is the eldest granddaughter, He Wenqiong occasionally listen to his son and daughterinlaw mentioned to He Xiuyi's character is still an understanding of the granddaughter of the broken not have the guts to join the conspiracy to kill the eldest Princess of Changxing things.The problem was that when the palace maid accused He Xiuyi of being displeased with Empress Su, in full view of everyone, instead of immediately retorting, He Xiuyi exuded a clear sense of trepidation!Now who doesn't know that she did express her displeasure with Empress Su?"This child is still too young and has experienced too little!" He Wenqiong sighed inwardly and decided to divert the blame he asked to reexamine the scented sachets made by Ms. Jiang, and questioned whether the scented s
