When Grand Princess Daiguo was overjoyed, in the Eastern Palace…
After Jian Xubai explained why he didn’t agree with the crown prince to surrender to Prince of Zhao, there was a knock on the study’s door suddenly. The crown prince who was about to speak frowned and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Your Highness, Her Highness heard that Duke of Yan came, so she told me to serve tea and pastries,” a young eunuch reported cautiously outside the door.
If the young eunuch said that he brought them specially for the crown prince, the latter would be not in the mood to answer, but since the crown princess wanted to entertain her husband’s cousin, even though the crown prince was impatient, he still ordered, “Come in.”
The young eunuch heard that and pushed the door open. Then he entered and put a tray inlaid with mica of gold and mother-in-pearl on a small table not far away from the crown prince and Jian Xubai. Afterward, he bowed and
“I don’t agree.” Song Yixiao got up all of a sudden, with anger in her eyes. “Even the Wei Family is shaky, but you still support the Eastern Palace. That’s how the crown princess repays you for your loyalty? Now that she is afraid that the crown prince will be harmed if he goes to the Palace of Xuanming and also worried that they won’t know any news about what happens in the Palace of Xuanming, why doesn’t she serve His Majesty? She is His Majesty’s legitimate daughter-in-law and supposed to take care of her father-in-law. It’s more logical for her to do that than you, a nephew, right? Why did she ask you to take the risk?”In fact, she always thought that the crown princess was nice. When they started to fight for the title of heir to the throne, the crown princess devised a way and told Commandery Prince Zhongling to formally acknowledge Gu Shao as his master, which greatly relieved the predicament of the Eastern Palace. It made Song Yixiao admire this wife of
When Song Yixiao was shocked because of the secret revealed by her husband in private, in the side hall of the Palace of Xuanming, Empress Su showed her discontentment to Grand Princess Daiguo because Jian Xubai offered to serve Emperor Xianjia. “His Majesty is in imminent danger now, and even the royal doctors have said that it is uncertain if he can sustain life these days. We are busy taking care of His Majesty. Why did you let Xubai get involved in it at the critical time? Isn’t it to bring up unnecessary ramifications for no reason?”The empress’ tone was exhausted and her voice was hoarse. She seemed to be ten years older, and she was not as graceful and charming as before.Emperor Xianjia had been critically ill for only two or three days, but since the empress got the news, she had stayed beside his bed all the time and didn’t ask anybody else to serve him. Till she took care of him and couldn’t sustain herself physically and mentally, she to
Empress Su noticed Grand Princess Daiguo’s weird tone and looked in that direction, to see the simple blue clothes behind the shadow of the trees, but the smaller part of the face revealed was beautiful enough to cause the fall of a city. Who could it be except Beautiful Lady Nuan?Empress Su’s eyes darkened.Grand Princess Daiguo caressed the hair on her temples and smiled charmingly. “I heard that Xubai and this lady kept an unusual relationship when they were in Wuhuan. Duke of Ji was the commander in chief when our country sent armed forces to suppress Wuhuan those years, so Your Majesty, you must know this matter more or less, right?”“They were old stories.” Empress Su casually glanced at the courtyard below. Jian Xubai looked like Emperor Xianjia but was more delicate than his maternal uncle. Because he served the ill emperor and it was improper to wear luxurious clothes, he was dressed in a shirt with a collar of Ruyi-shaped grai
Hearing that, Beautiful Lady Nuan was surprised secretly. After pondering for a moment, she stated, “What can we do for the crown prince? Don’t forget that his biological mother was once a noble consort, and she is still a consort now. It’s said that he has Gu Shao, a famous official, as his assistant at the imperial court. Even in the Palace of Xuanming, Xu…Duke of Yan personally obtains information for him now.”By comparison, she was only a beautiful lady. What power did she have?“But all people know that Duke of Yan is a follower of His Highness.” Qinye didn’t think so and reminded, “Have you forgotten what we heard about? When Duke of Yan arrived, the empress happened to be sleeping. As soon as she got up and knew it, she found a reason and told him to go out. She would rather let her maid Fangyu keep an eye on His Majesty. It can be seen that although Her Majesty can’t say directly that Duke of Yan is not allowed to serve His Majesty because h
Although Gu Shao mentioned the Empress Dowager to make Qiu Shuxia shut up, it was by no means insignificant that both the emperor and heir to the throne couldn’t deal with the state affairs, so the officials couldn’t stand by and do nothing. The imperial court was bustling with disputes like a market for half a day. At last, they decided to divide into two groups to respectively investigate the truth behind the matters that Emperor Xianjia was critically ill and the crown prince was poisoned.Of course, they argued for a long time before deciding the people to investigate. Jin Suke, He Wenqiong and Huo Dan were in charge of investigating if Emperor Xianjia was harmed by somebody, while Qiu Shuxia, Wei Xi and Huang Jingting went to the Eastern Palace to share the crown prince’s worries.Among the six people, Jin Suke was the minister in the Ministry of Personnel, and He Wenqiong was in charge of the Ministry of War, while Huo Dan was the head of the M
After a short while, Empress Su found an excuse and told Prince of Zhao to stay with her alone. “Bug, stay away from Xubai in the following days.”Bug was the infant name of Prince of Zhao. A prince was named like a small insect because the empress finally had a son and was afraid that he couldn’t grow up. However, this name was unpresentable anyway. It was fine that he was called Bug when he was a child. Prince of Zhao could get married and still joined the fight for the title of heir to the throne. When this name was called in public, even though nobody dared to laugh, it was improper inevitably.So the empress called her son his title Prince of Zhao unless they were alone.Prince of Zhao was stunned to hear that. “Why?”Although he still had the naivety as a teenager because of his age and experience, he was not stupid. He just asked one question and then became sensitive, asking, “Are you or is Aunt Daiguo going to do so
“Isn’t it nice?” The old maid laughed and continued with relief, “You personally told Beautiful Lady Nuan why the empress kept her in the Palace of Xuanming. She didn’t summon Beautiful Lady Nuan in the past two days but suddenly looked for her then. What is the reason except that His Majesty’s condition changed or she made up her mind to take actions?”She added casually, “So if there is something wrong as soon as Beautiful Lady Nuan went back, we don’t need to worry so much. Just spread the news outside the imperial palace and ask Prime Minister Gu to summon all the officials to enter the palace following the crown prince…I don’t need to say more about what will happen next, right?”The old emperor had been critically ill for several days, and all the officials suddenly followed the crown prince to enter the imperial palace. Of course he was prepared to take the throne, or rather take the throne in front of the emperor’s coffin.Consor
Many people couldn’t sleep well this night.Not only in the imperial palace, the side hall of the back yard in the mansion of Duke of Yan was still brightly lit at this hour.Song Yixiao received the rose syrup from Jinxun and took a sip. After she wiped her lips with her handkerchief, she asked with a frown, “The crown princess changed the plan all of a sudden? Was she fooled by the subordinates?”“The crown princess can even cause the crown prince to become unconscious easily in the Eastern Palace. Who can fool her in something so significant?” Yuan Xuepei shook his head slightly and added, “I am afraid that she got suspicious. On top of that, she got suspicious at this time, not earlier or later, and we were caught off guard.”Song Yixiao was surprised to hear that. “She got suspicious? Why?”“If I knew it, why would I come to see you at night?” Yuan Xuepei smiled. “Even Prime Minister Gu is confused. After t
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
