When Emperor Xianjia woke up, the crown prince had stayed beside his bed for a whole day, so Empress Su persuaded him to have a rest in the warm chamber in the east. She was physically and mentally exhausted, but she gently walked her husband’s eldest son to the gate and then returned to the bedroom. In only ten minutes, coughs came from the half-hung bed-curtain suddenly...
“Your Majesty?” After Empress Su heard her nephew Su Shaoge’s analysis, she chose to believe him on the spot, yet she still thought that she might be lucky and wouldn’t be exposed as he thought too much.
Fortunately, she was not influenced by sentiment in handling things. These two days, she had practiced more than once what she would look like when Emperor Xianjia woke up, so she wouldn’t be exposed. As she heard the coughs, her heart sank because she wouldn’t be lucky to get away with it, but she showed an overjoyed expression on her face without hesitation. She rushed into the
At four o’clock in the morning, the crown prince served the exhausted Emperor Xianjia going to bed and then walked out of the bedroom cautiously without any noise.Outside the bedroom, the eunuch Xun Ying who had served Emperor Xianjia for more than thirty years quietly stepped forward and let his hands hang by the sides. “Your Highness.”“Father has fallen asleep.” The crown prince pinched his brows and gestured for Xun Ying to follow him out.Xun Ying winked and ordered two young eunuchs to enter the bedroom to serve the emperor. Then he followed the crown prince.The two came to the winding corridor outside. The crown prince didn’t speak at once but swallowed continuously. After a while, he said, “Lord Xun...”“Your Highness, please restrain your grief.” Xun Ying’s flat and simple words made the crown prince breathe deeply all of a sudden.The mistress of the Xifu Palace, Consort Cui, his biologi
Jian Xubai smiled. “Do you think that His Majesty wasted half a year and watched that the brotherhood between the crown prince and Prince of Wei and Prince of Zhao was ruined repeatedly just in order to scheme against Consort Cui?”Seeing that Ji Su was confused, Jian Xubai raised his chin and gestured for him to close the window. Then he whispered, “The enmity between Aunt Daiguo and Consort Cui started many years ago, while His Majesty didn’t get sick recently.”When Emperor Xianjia was alive, he didn’t need to worry that Consort Cui would be in power because of her son and take revenge on Grand Princess Daiguo. He didn’t want Consort Cui to stay alive mainly because he was afraid that after he died, he would be unable to control everything, and his sister’s family would suffer.The problem was that the emperor was always in poor health. Since he had this plan, why was Consort Cui always safe and sound when he was critically ill severa
Beautiful Lady Nuan certainly knew that Jian Xubai was the crown prince’s follower.So after she said that, Jian Xubai asked her knowingly, “What do you want?”After all, once the news that Consort Cui attempted to murder Emperor Xianjia was revealed, even the emperor couldn’t keep the crown prince’s title as heir to the throne. Any people who hoped that the crown prince would take the throne definitely had only two choices after knowing this news, killing her to keep the secret, or buying her over.It was outside the emperor’s bedroom, and the emperor was talking with the crown prince inside then. Even though it appeared that there was nobody outside the bedroom, Jian Xubai wouldn’t do anything to Beautiful Lady Nuan. Moreover, even though he didn’t have feelings for the beautiful lady, they were old friends. As long as Beautiful Lady Nuan’s offer could be discussed, he preferred to buy her over.However, after Beautiful La
On the way back to the Eastern Palace yesterday, the crown princess had told somebody to send a message to the mansion of Duke of Yan, so early in the morning, the carriage of the mansion was waiting at the gate of the imperial palace.As soon as Jian Xubai came out, Yu Shiheng who came to pick him up under the mistress’s order walked to him. “Your Highness!”“How is my wife these days?” Jian Xubai nodded at him and asked with concern before getting into the carriage. “Does everything go well in the mansion recently?”Yu Shiheng lifted the curtain on the carriage for him and answered, “Everything is normal in the mansion. I heard her maid Jinxun say that Aunt Yun came to the Keshao Hall to check Her Highness’s pulse every day and said that the mother and baby were well.”Judging from the period of Song Yixiao’s pregnancy, the gender of the baby could be guessed, but the couple weren’t curious, and Grand Princess Jinguo didn’
Jian Xubai was thinking about how to soothe his wife. Suddenly, the sound of quick footsteps of a maid came from outside. Then Jinxun knocked on the door and said, “Your Highness, we got the news from the palace that Consort Cui has passed away!”“How did she die?” Jian Xubai and Song Yixiao looked at each other when they heard this. They both knew very well how Consort Cui died, but they needed to pretend that they didn’t know. Song Yixiao said in a surprised tone, “Come in and tell me the details!”Jinxun pushed the door open and entered. Seeing that they were neatly dressed from the corner of her eye, she still lowered her head and said respectfully, “The messenger told me that she died of illness.”“I heard that Consort Cui was ill earlier, and Uncle fell ill the next day. He didn’t wake up until last night. We were concerned about his illness and didn’t get any news from the Xifu Palace. So, we thought Consort Cui just had a minor i
At the end of the ninth lunar month of the 21st year after Emperor Xianjia took the throne, the emperor recovered from a serious illness. On the day after a secret conversation with Grand Princess Daiguo, the emperor gave an imperial edict to clean up the imperial court without warning. The reason was “to pursuit and suppress the remaining evil elements” which stunned everyone in the imperial court.These “remaining evil elements” were mainly divided into two groups. One group was the remaining lackeys of Noble Consort Shentu and Madame Zhenyuan in the imperial court. The other group was the remaining force of Emperor Xianjia’s more than 40 half siblings.In just two days, dozens of people in the palace went to the guillotine. Five or six of them were old people who had worked in the Palace of Xuanming for more than ten years.When the emperor ascended the throne, he killed people madly, and countless royal relatives and nobles were behe
Song Yixiao regretted it immediately after she said this. Pei Yourui had refused to marry twice before. Even if she joked about Nie Wuying’s marriage, it didn’t mean that she had got over those things. Sure enough, Pei Yourui just smiled and changed the topic, “It will be Ping’an’s birthday in a few days. I’ve been thinking about what I should give to him these two days.”“It’s winter soon. Why don’t you make something that can keep out the cold?” Song Yixiao was well-advised and quickly said.Then the two chatted casually for a while. Seeing that Nie Wuying didn’t intend to come out, Song Yixiao took her leave.Soon after she returned home, news came from the palace that Emperor Xianjia personally went to the Palace of Mingren to get the consent of the Empress Dowager to have Prince of Zhao and Prince of Wei adopted by Prince of Su and Prince of Xiang who both died early.Prince of Su was the first legitimate son of the Emp
Ji Weiguan entered the palace at this time. He probably had nothing else to do except to speak for his wife. However, even the Empress Dowager didn’t expect that he would propose to give up the dukedom of the Ji Family in exchange for not relegating Grand Princess Daiguo.“What nonsense!” Hearing him out, the Empress Dowager who was sullen looked angrier. Before Emperor Xianjia could speak, she scolded, “Your ancestors earned this dukedom by risking their lives in the wars. They left it to the future generations of your family. You think you can decide this alone? There are no outsiders here. I’ll be frank with you. Zifu is an idler and doesn’t work. If he doesn’t have the dukedom, what do you want them to live on in the future? You want my grandson to worry about the basic necessities of life in the future, just like common people?”The Empress Dowager’s favorite grandson must be Jian Xubai, who was raised by her in person. Even several other grands
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
