It was not a simple thing that Elder Lady Duanmu came to the imperial capital for medical advice at the moment but she didn’t arrive with a display of splendor.
After all, given her past identity as a lady of the imperial clan and the current identity as the imperial tomb keeper, she shouldn’t blaze around!
Therefore, after deliberate discussion, the Jian Family decided to let Jian Limiao, together with Jian Xubai and Song Yixiao, receive her while the others of the Family would pay respects to her after she came into the capital.
Because Jian Likuang and Jian Yiyou each married a princess and Elder Lady Duanmu was a female senior, if the two of them came to receive her, their wives should go with them. If the honor guards of the two princesses showed up, how could everything be controlled at a low key?
However, this morning, Song Yixiao just finished dressing up when a servant came from the imperial palace to summon her at the com
When the whole family of Prince of Chengyang were exiled, all the possessions were confiscated.Afterwards, Commandery Princess Yishui died of a difficult labor. Jian Limiao submitted the petition. With the help of Empress Su, he touched Emperor Xianjia. When the punishment was changed to guarding the imperial tomb, a small portion of possessions were returned, most of which were the dowries of Elder Lady Duanmu back then.Now the dwelling where Elder Lady Duanmu settled down with her grandchildren was one of the properties.This place was obviously deserted for a long time. Although Elder Lady Duanmu had sent servants to clean the place after gaining the permission from the Empress Dowager to seek medical advice in the imperial capital, Song Yixiao, who walked into the place in a fur coat, still felt the overwhelming chill and couldn’t help shivering.She frowned and pondered, “I’m afraid that even a healthy person cannot stand li
Prince of Yi had been a coward for more than 20 years, but he was the birth son of the late Emperor and the only living brother of Emperor Xianjia. He just took the order of the Emperor to investigate the case of the Crown Prince’s side concubine. Now that he died of suicide, what kind of disturbance his death would cause in court was imaginable!How could Jian Xubai have the time to visit Jian Limiao now?He directly got off the carriage and asked the guards to spare a horse for him so that he could rush to the Eastern Palace!On the way, Song Yixiao kept urging the carter to drive faster. When she hurriedly returned to Duke of Yan’s mansion, Qiaoqin and Jinxun came forward to report how the birthday feast on the next day was prepared. Before they spoke, she ordered in a hurry, “Have you sent out the invitation cards yet? If not, don’t send them anymore. For the invitations that have been sent out, go to apologize to the guests on the ground t
Cailuo had been stunned. While awaking her, Daiguo Grand Princess and her family came inside. When she heard of the farce, she was startled and immediately said, “Jinguo, you are so muddle-headed! How can you believe a concubine’s nonsense? Especially on such a day!”“I’m not saying that I believe her, but as she shouted outside, I must ask about it.” Jinguo Grand Princess slightly frowned. She knew that Daiguo Grand Princess said so not to defend for Princess Consort of Yi but to prevent others from taking the blame because Prince of Wei and Prince of Zhao were both hoping to blame the Crown Prince for the death of Prince of Yi.“If it is not the case, your inquiry will ruin our sister-in-law’s reputation,” Daiguo Grand Princess said querulously, “It has been known to us what kind of life she has lived over the past years! Now that she not only lost her husband and but also gets slandered by a concubine, we don’t show understanding for her and even suspect
“Lady of Yan!” Madam Chang was the wife of the eldest son of the Sikong Family, and the sister-in-law of Sikong Yiluo and Princess Consort of Liang. She always served as the go-between for the Sikong Family and the people of Duke of Yan’s mansion, but this time, she was sent here alone for a specific reason, “When Princess Consort of Liang’s matter was spread to our home, Grandmother and Mother immediately fainted on the spot! Now our family has become a mess. I... I’ve thought it over and decided to ask you for a favor!”Speaking of that, Madam Chang shed tears from the depth of her heart. Of course she would cry!Back then, Great Grand Princess Zhenyang went all out to beg the Empress Dowager to arrange such a marriage for her granddaughter, hoping that her granddaughter could become a princess consort and then provide support for the Sikong Family. Nevertheless, she was married less than one year and yet, made such serious trouble!She was d
The next day, Madam Liao, the wife of Ming Nezhi the Vice Director of Ministry of War, was invited to Duke of Yan’s mansion.She paid respects to Song Yixiao in an extremely respectful way with confusion.With a smile, Song Yixiao asked her to rise and to sit down. Then she also ordered to serve the tea. After exchanging pleasantries, Song Yixiao frowned and said, “You know, my maiden family doesn’t have a lot of descendants. Two days ago, my stepmother finally gave birth to twins. I finally have a younger brother now!”“I’ve heard that Your Highness is deeply blessed. You just got married last year and then shortly after that, such good news happened to the mistress of the Song Family!” The imperial capital was this big. Of course Madam Liao knew that Madam Lu had given birth to a couple of rarely-seen twins, which were even a boy and a girl, but she also knew that the Song Family didn’t treat Song Yixiao well. If she didn’t figure out how Son
It was at night that Jian Xubai returned to the backyard. After freshening up, he told his wife about the “truth” of what happened to Prince of Yi’s mansion, “The culprit who murdered Uncle is Cailuo. She and a guard of Uncle’s were sweethearts. After she became Uncle’s concubine, she still didn’t end the relationship with the guard. Unfortunately, her affair was found by Aunt. Out of fear for being punished, she took the initiative to murder Uncle first and then attempted to scapegoat Aunt!”Song Yixiao was aware that the so-called truth was merely an outcome of a clash of wills, probably none of which was true. She thought for a while and said, “Is the Crown Prince also fine with that?”Such an explanation did exonerate the Crown Prince but he had never engaged in the matter of Prince of Yi. Prince of Yi committed suicide first, and then Princess Consort of Liang made a fuss. Afterwards, the concubine disclosed that the mistress plotted against her husban
This day, eventually, Princess Yushan’s wailing ended with her being gagged and dragged away. However, after she left, the Empress Dowager didn’t mean to let the others leave. Instead, with a sullen face, she stared at the people in the hall.Her usually amicable look became as sharp as a knife!After a while, the people in the hall were all frightened with their faces turning pale. The Empress Dowager finally said, “Yushan is too young and thoughtless. I hope that you don’t follow her example.”Empress Su replied first, “I’ll do as Mother commands!”The rest of the people also echoed her words and all implied that they wouldn’t talk about it after leaving the hall.The Empress Dowager didn’t continue reminding them. She just waved her hand wearily, “You guys leave now!”Song Yixiao was about to leave when the Empress Dowager suddenly said, “Yixiao, you stay!”“Do you know why I asked you to s
The Empress Dowager always supported the Crown Princess, but Emperor Xianjia was her birth son. Since she suspected the Crown Prince of attempting to kill his father, it was hard to say whether she would continue supporting the Crown Prince!Thinking of that, Song Yixiao couldn’t help frowning, but Jian Xubai shook his head, “Grandmother didn’t suspect us. Instead, she was reminding us!”He slightly narrowed his eyes, “You know, it is Uncle who raises the Crown Prince and regards me as his son. Putting that aside, let’s focus on the political stake. It has been only one year since Duke of Ji returned to the court. It was when the civil service was about to be suspended for the Spring Festival holiday last year that He Wenqiong was promoted from the Eastern Palace to the Director of the Ministry of War. If anything untoward happens to Uncle and the Crown Prince takes the throne as a matter of course, how can his position be stabilized?”The Su F
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
