When Song Yixiao woke up the next day, it was already in the morning and her husband was gone.
She summoned Jinxun inside for service. While serving her to wash up carefully, Jinxun reported in a soft voice, “His Highness has gone to the Empress Dowager’s palace. Before leaving, His Highness asked me to tell you not to go anywhere but wait at the mansion for his information.”
Song Yixiao had learnt that it was Jian Xubai who asked Jinxun to stop her. Now Jinxun’s face was clearly swollen despite being covered with make-up. After all, this maid had served Song Yixiao since she was a child. Hence, Song Yixiao felt pitiful for her and said softly, “Go and see a doctor later. A girl’s face is very important and don’t leave any scar on it!”
“I am not that delicate.” Jinxun was reckless and yet not vengeful. Now that she knew that her mistress was not mad with her, she instantly said with her face wreathed in smiles, “Moreover, you didn’t slap harshl
Song Yixiao entered Qingxi Hall uneasily.The uneasy feeling got increasingly apparent when she found that Jian Xubai was not present.Unexpectedly, after Song Yixiao made a curtsey, the Empress Dowager didn’t look angry and instead, waved her hand amicably, saying, “Good girl, come and sit next to me.”“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Song Yixiao, not sure of the Empress Dowager’s intention, curtsied respectfully and sat on the embroidered chair near the Empress Dowager. She only sat on the one third of the seat, which demonstrated her reverence and respect.The Empress Dowager saw her bearing clearly and said smilingly, “No need to be so nervous! I won’t eat you anyway!”Yuguo, standing aside, said with a smile, “Duke Jian begged you in your arms for a while just now. Even if you really eat people, you won’t eat Lady of Yan! Otherwise, if His Highness can’t find Lady of Yan after going back to the mansion and come to you f
Song Yixiao returned home and found that Jian Xubai and Ms. Zhao were not back yet. Neither did any message come about them.She was very disappointed to hear that.Having struggled to look through the list for her mother-in-law’s birthday in a few days, Song Yixiao was about to ask Jinxun whether she had seen a doctor when a maid came forward and reported, “Your Highness, Madam Cheng asks to meet you!”“Madam Cheng?” Song Yixiao didn’t think of who she was and Qiaoqin gave her a reminder, “Is that the mother of Side Concubine Cui, Madam Cheng?”She took a tumble and couldn’t help frowning, “She came alone? But why does she want to meet me?”The maid answered respectfully, “Your Highness, Madam Cheng takes a 20-something woman who looks like her daughter-in-law, but I have never met the Cui Family before, so I’m not sure about it.”“Madam Cheng says nothing but to ask to meet Your Highness.” She added.
Jian Xubai looked at his wife’s disappointed look and felt sorry, saying gently, “Now this matter is in the limelight. Grandmother’s asking them to leave at once is for their own good. When this comes to an end in a few years and no one cares about this, we can let them come back. Even if they are not allowed to step into the imperial capital as the Crown Prince required and they just stay in the environs, it will be rather convenient for you to pay them a visit.”“As long as they live well, I’ll be relieved!” However, Song Yixiao just shook her head and sighed, “Regardless of her virtue, You Qingchun is still the birth daughter of Ms. Zhao. If I hadn’t meant to conspire against Cui Jianlian, I could have given her an opportunity to draw in her horse at the edge of a cliff. After all, regarding this matter, I feel so sorry for Ms. Zhao! Back then, she and her husband risked their lives to help me out. This time, for Zhiqin, I saw their daughter fall into a helpless situ
“Madam Huang passed away?” The couple were startled to hear the news, asking in one voice, “How did that happen? Wasn’t she okay at the imperial feast of the Lantern Festival?”Song Yixiao greeted her at that time!It had only been a few days since then!“It is said that she died of an acute disease,” the maid said cowardly, “As it happened too hastily, the messenger came and left in a hurry, telling that he had to send the message to other relatives too. Hence, we didn’t invite him into the mansion.”Song Yixiao called Madam Huang as Grandma and the latter was kind to her, but they actually had no communication in private and their amicable relationship on the surface was only a show to the public.Therefore, when Song Yixiao heard of the death of this nominal grandmother, she was astonished and yet not grieved. Then she came to her sense quickly, sent away the maid and then started to discuss about the condolence wit
After returning to Duke of Yan’s mansion, Song Yixiao was broody until she went to bed.In order not to disappoint her husband, when Jian Xubai took off her clothes, she put her arms around his neck obediently, but she was somewhat absent-minded while they were doing it.Jian Xubai realized that so he specially sent words to Commandery Princess Qingjiang the next day.Commandery Princess Qingjiang received her brother’s message for help and then went into the imperial palace to fish for information. It turned out that Madam Huang’s death did have something to do with Cui Jianlian!“I can’t understand why she thought that way. How could she regard Yixiao as a huge threat which must be eradicated?!” Commandery Princess Qingjiang found it funny and annoying, saying to Ji Su, “However, the Crown Princess is always inclined to drag Yixiao to her side. Madam Huang failed to drive a wedge in between and yet, she realized that Cui Jianlian
How could Qiu Shuxia and his peers let Prince of Yi take over the job?Yet, Emperor Xianjia was not a push-over!Instantly, he thumped the table in anger, “Spring ploughing is around the corner! The situation in the northern borderland has just settled down! There are so many affairs to be discussed about after the New Year holidays! Now as the court is just opened, you are demanding to abolish the Crown Prince, negligent of the national affairs and people’s livelihood. Yet, you kept saying that you were thinking for the good of the country! I’ve tolerated it!”“Then you demanded to investigate the case of the Crown Prince thoroughly, which I’ve permitted!”“Now that I assign the investigation job to the uncle of the Crown Prince, you still have objection!”The imperial tea bowl made of sweet white porcelain with the painting of native land on it and the golden edge, along with the growl of Emperor Xianjia, was thrown
The Qiu Family was so scarcely populated that there was not even a distant relative out of Wufu. Qiu Shuxia adopted Liu Zhiyin as his son for the sake of political interest exchange—to let Liu Zhenxi “confess” readily without worries behind.Yet, since Qiu Shuxia had no son, he had no reason to maltreat this adopted son.Under the circumstance, Liu Zhenxi, obviously leaving life and death out of consideration, was determined to pave the path for the son adopted by Qiu Shuxia with all his family’s lives and his after-death reputation!“This man worked in the Ministry of Punishments before, so he must know how to make an ironclad proof.” Song Yixiao immediately realized the gravity of the situation, “Especially Cui Jianlian and Madam Huang are dead, who cannot give witness. Even if His Majesty assigns Prince of Yi to investigate the case, it won’t be easy to handle then.”Emperor Xianjia could harness the officials but judge from his
Here was a brief introduction of Emperor Xianjia’s children. Putting aside the two princesses, currently, Emperor Xianjia had only five sons alive, that is, the eldest son, aka, the Crown Prince; the second eldest son, aka, Prince of Wei; the third eldest son, aka, Prince of Liang; the fourth eldest son, aka, Prince of Zhao; the fifth eldest son, aka, Prince of Shu.Although Qiu Shuxia had appealed to change the heir in court, now the Crown Prince was still the heir. Hence, he could never be adopted!Empress Su expressed her opinion of not giving away Prince of Zhao, so the range of choices was limited to Prince of Wei, Prince of Liang and Prince of Shu.For Prince of Su and Prince of Xiang, at least two imperial sons were needed.“Given the current situation, the Empress can’t choose Prince of Wei, or Daiguo Grand Princess will fight with her then!” Song Yixiao was speculating about the Empress’s thinking, “So she can only choose
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
