Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 943 Legendary Life 9.0

"The old lady didn't expect that the granddaughter of Taifu Zhen dared to ask in front of everyone whether Emperor Chongde sent someone to invite her and whether she wanted to meet alone. In her opinion, even boys and girls who have already engaged It is a very shameful thing to meet in private, and even if it is to ask for evidence, it will be behind people's backs." Shen Cha raised the corners of her lips slightly, showing a slight mocking smile, "She just recognized this, so she Dare to do such a thing."

"This lady is really unusual. She doesn't look like she grew up in a boudoir. Her courage, courage, and insight are completely different from those noble ladies." Jin Miaomiao rubbed her chin, "It's not like a child from a civil servant's family, but Like the queen of a general, like the daughter of a general."

"Hey, that's to the point." Shen Cha smiled at her, "According to historical records, this empress has been living with Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Zhen from birth to the time she entered the palace. Although Fu is a civil servant, Mrs. Zhen is the daughter of a real general. Mrs. Zhen’s natal family was a famous general’s family in the previous dynasty. Her father, four elder brothers, and two younger brothers were all famous generals. He practiced on the school grounds with his father, brother, and younger brother."

"Then it makes sense. This queen grew up next to the generals, and she is indeed different from ordinary high-door young ladies."

"The loss is to be seen on the bright side." Shen Haolin snorted softly, "The struggle between the women in the harem is comparable to the battlefield, and even more thrilling than the fist-to-body fight on the battlefield. There are few mistakes, let's go If you make a wrong step, you will be forever lost, and there may not even be a chance to make up for it."

"That's right." Jin Miaomiao agreed with Shen Haolin's statement, "I have also read a historical material, which said that the harem of the previous generations was full of smog, and the concubines were fighting like a raging fire, and the emperors who made it were burnt out. It is also the main reason why the heirs of the former emperor withered."

"It's not easy for Emperor Chongde to survive." Shen Cha sighed, "Come back to business, Emperor Chongde heard Miss Zhen... Oh, I forgot to mention it before, although she is a granddaughter, but because Miss Zhen's father She is married, so Miss Zhen took her mother's surname."

"Understood, you continue."

"When Emperor Chongde heard Miss Zhen's inquiry, he immediately understood that someone was causing trouble, and the biggest suspect was his dear grandmother. While denying that he had sent someone to meet her, he was denying At the time, observe the old lady's expression. Although the old lady appeared very calm on the surface, her hands under the table betrayed her."

"Did King Tong see it? Emperor Chongde who secretly told him about it later?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, Jin Miaomiao raised an eyebrow, "At that time, King Tong was young, short, and standing at the bottom of the steps. , only he can see the scene under the table. By the way, where is the person who sent the letter to Miss Zhen?"

"died."

"Dead?" Jin Miaomiao looked at Shen Haolin and then at Shen Cha, "How could it be..."

"The messenger is the old lady's confidant, and he is very loyal. After he sent Miss Zhen and Mrs. Zhen back, he knew that Miss Zhen was not fooled before Miss Zhen came out. He was afraid that Emperor Chongde would find out about this. Later, he will come to summon himself. At that time, he can't guarantee whether he will confess to the queen mother under torture, so he commits suicide ahead of time. Emperor Chongde and the others really wanted to find this messenger to track down the person behind the scenes, but What they found was a cold body."

"However, this is more proof that the person behind the scenes is the old lady?" Jin Miaomiao shook her head lightly, "This is like calling yourself out."

"That's what happened." Shen Cha nodded, scanned the table, and brought over a plate of crispy milk cakes, "So, Emperor Chongde and King Tong believe that their judgment is correct, and the old lady is the mastermind .”

"They still have to make trouble during the Chinese New Year. They will be more vigilant against the old lady."

"Emperor Chongde and King Tong were young, and the old lady was involved. They told Emperor Jiaren about it and asked him to solve it by himself. I don't know how Emperor Jiaren negotiated with the old lady. She was almost honest. For more than a year, for more than a year, she used the excuse of praying for the late emperor. After the Chinese New Year and her own birthday, she went to the emperor's temple to pray for blessings, and lived in the emperor's temple for a year. time."

"One year, whether it's long or short, you can muddle through it in a daze, or you can plan something intensively." Jin Miaomiao stretched her waist, "In my opinion, the old lady won't After wasting a year, it would be more convenient for her to worry about the old department and arrange something in the Imperial Temple than in the palace. Even if Emperor Jiaren, Emperor Chongde and King Tong were worried about her and arranged eyeliner in the Imperial Temple, The hidden guards come from the same sect, and it may even be the relationship between the master and the apprentice, so it is quite easy to find loopholes in the opponent's arrangement."

"That's true." Jin Miaomiao thought for a while, "Sure enough, Emperor Jiaren is a master of scheming people's hearts. Whether it is an active dark guard or a former dark guard who retired, this is an infighting between the same sect. No matter where If one side wins, all the strength of the old lady's natal family will be consumed. When they react, their strength may not be as good as before."

"Until the fall of the previous dynasty, they didn't realize it. It's no wonder that the empress dowager's natal family became the first family of important ministers to disappear completely in the previous dynasty." Shen Cha shrugged, "When the Chinese New Year is approaching in the second year, Emperor Jiaren Go to the imperial temple in person and welcome his mother back to the imperial palace. And this time, the real battle between the old lady and her son and grandson will begin.”
