Chapter 28 Past Events

Lei Xiao, Lei Huwang and others bid farewell to the Empress Dowager, and because Lei Xiao was injured, he was asked to go back to the mansion first and invited the imperial doctor.

King Lei Hu went to Huyu Xu Mansion.

Xu's mansion, as the mansion of Qingtian for solving cases in the Huyu Kingdom, of course has a special case hall, Xu Qingtang, and prison cells for confining prisoners.

As soon as King Xu Hu returned to the mansion, Yang Huwei, his left hand, hurriedly bowed to report.

"King Xu Hu, King Lei Hu returned to Beijing this morning and sent two prisoners."

King Xu Hu originally wanted to go back to the main courtyard, but after hearing this, he shifted his steps to Xu Qingtang.

Looking at the two lying on the ground and the two in the cage, King Xu Hu felt a headache on his forehead.

"This old man Lei, he sent me here only when he made people die or live in such a horrible way, why did you send me here!" I have a headache."

"If I don't send you here, should I send it to the tiger's mouth?" King Lei Hu followed him in shortly after he stepped into the mansion. Since he always came and went freely, the people in the mansion didn't stop him or notify him.

King Xu Hu gave him an aggrieved look, "Send it to the clan mansion, do you really think I'm idle?"

"How dare you." King Lei Hu looked at him and found it funny, so he couldn't help asking: "What did you just say about the case of breaking the jade and locking the soul? What's going on?"

When Xu Huwang mentioned this, he immediately described the case in detail, and then described what happened in the early court today and the queen's urging.

"Sun Guojian is a scourge!"

King Lei Hu took a sip, and then analyzed: "That has something to do with refining stones..."

"Who doesn't know!" King Xu Hu gave him a blank look.

"What's the rush, listen to me." King Lei Hu rolled his eyes at him, and then asked, "Has there been any other strange or important things happening in the capital recently?"

"There seems to be nothing strange or important..." King Xu Hu pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Yes, there is a Feng's stone refining room, and the stone refining ability is not inferior to that of the Lin family and the Zhao family. , it can be said that the scale is even larger.”

King Lei Hu hurriedly asked, "Did you find anything?"

"No." Xu Huwang said dejectedly: "After observing for a few days, everything is normal. So I plan to find out if they have messed with someone and take revenge."

"I need someone to notify me." Lei Huwang nodded, and walked into Xu Qingtang's back room on his own. No one said, "Those two people are important criminals, the criminals who assassinated the emperor. The empress dowager has ordered me ..."

"Wait." King Xu Hu stopped him, and said calmly: "The Empress Dowager secretly sent a bodyguard to pick up the people, but you brought them back? You should inform us earlier, so we won't be worried."

"Resent, blame them, if they hadn't chased and killed me, I wouldn't have done this." Of course, I didn't mention being kidnapped and threatened by the enemy country, so I lost face.

King Lei Hu continued: "The Empress Dowager ordered to find out who is behind the scenes, as well as what happened to the Great Empress."

The assassination of the imperial daughter is such a major matter that it is reasonable for the Xu family to investigate, and it is not appropriate to entrust this matter to other people.

King Xu Hu nodded silently, and murmured: "I'm afraid we will have to see the eldest princess for what happened back then, but it's not right for us to go, and we will startle the snake."

After pondering for a while, King Xu Hu suddenly asked, "How is she?"

The well-understood Lei Huwang understood what he was referring to, and nodded with the corners of his mouth raised, "He has the demeanor of a general, smart, calm and decisive, and..."

King Lei Hu told her calmness and calmness when she treated Lei Xiao's wound and Lei Xiao told himself that she saw through the leader's intentions and the other person's weakness, and then told him.

Of course, there will be no lack of words that make people's blood boil when she and Lei Xiao reason.

King Xu Hu looked at him in amazement, and then the corners of his mouth slowly rose, which was really exciting for a long time.

"If we had spared everything back then, would things be better than now?" He suddenly sighed.

"No, if we hadn't retreated back then, it would have been worse than it is now. I believe the eldest princess in Nianci Palace would understand." King Lei Hu replied without hesitation.

That was the trace in the hearts of their Six Great Protecting Jade Houses, an indelible trace, the shame of having to compromise and being led away.

It is also the pain in the Empress Dowager's heart.

After Su Rui and the stepmother had snacks, the Empress Dowager described in detail what happened in the palace and what happened back then.

The current empress is her aunt, Hou Fengyu, the younger sister of her mother, Hou Jingyu.They were all born to Empress Dowager Jinling, and her eldest son, Empress Longyu, was under her knees.

Empress Fengyu has two sons and two daughters, the eldest son Hou Guanyu, the second son Hou Tingyu, the eldest daughter Hou Xinyu and the youngest daughter Hou Wanyu; Hou Jinyu,

Empress Dowager Jinling has an elder brother and a younger sister, the elder brother Jinye has only one son and one daughter, the eldest son Hou Hongyun, the daughter Hou Yiyun; the younger sister Hou Jinli has two daughters and one son, the eldest daughter Hou Canglan, the second daughter Hou Chunlan and the son queen Cen Lan.

I thought that polygamy was the same as in ancient times in Yuzhi Kingdom, but I didn't expect it to be monogamy. Polygamy is prohibited by law, and the son follows the husband's surname, except for the royal family, where the son follows the emperor's surname.

The stepmother is also big-hearted, Yu Zhiguo only has the queen's surname, so she directly let Meiyu reveal her surname to others. Fortunately, the remote village has limited knowledge, otherwise Meiyu would have died so many times.

However, this assassination must have something to do with the throne. The empress back then was not Hou Fengyu, but Empress Jingyu.

One night in the autumn of that year, at midnight, more than a dozen figures broke into the palace and killed Hou Chunlan and Hou Jinyu. One life, but still in a coma.Everyone was alarmed that night, and it was discovered that the person who took the lead in the assassination was actually a confidant of Empress Jingyu, and immediately all the fingers were pointed at her.At that time, she was having a disagreement with the Taihuang and was unhappy, and the Taihuang was also dissatisfied with her, and was used to publicize and add words.

The Empress Dowager was furious at the time, even though there were different opinions and the pressure of public opinion, the Empress Dowager believed in Hou Jingyu. She brought up Hou Jingyu and Longyu, and knew that she would not do such a thing.

However, everyone's confessions pointed to her. The Six Guardians tried their best to investigate but could not find any clues. Under the power of the Empress Dowager and the retreat, she was able to save her life. The throne entered Nianci Palace.

Nian Ci Palace is the place where important figures of the royal family made mistakes and were locked up.At that time, Hou Jingyu had been pregnant with Hou Meiyu for five months, and her stomach was not very obvious.And the emperor is forbidden to walk in Jingyan Palace, Jingyan Palace is the bedroom of Hou Jingyu and him.Her eldest son, Hou Tianyu, was imprisoned in her Tianheng Palace.

Another duty of the Six Protecting Jade Mansions is to supervise the queen. If the queen makes a terrible mistake, they have the power to unite and ask her to abdicate and enter the Nianci palace. At that time, they had no idea and were afraid that she would be killed. The empress dowager agreed to do so after discussion.Presumably the people behind it were also trying to force her to abdicate.

The royal family has an ancestor's precept, once you enter the Nianci Palace, you can no longer be the queen, even if you come out.

After Hou Jingyu entered Nianci Palace, no one was seen except Que Ling, and after five months, Hou Meiyu's confinement was ushered in. Once she was born, she was taken away by her confidant maid Que Ling. There are many bright and dark lines staring at him.But when Que Ling fled holding her newborn Hou Meiyu, she was chased by soldiers.

When the Empress Dowager went to Jingyan Palace not long ago, Yan Zhong accidentally learned about it by talking about it.Yan Zhongyi is Hou Jingyu's monarch and Hou Meiyu's father.The Empress Dowager followed this matter to find Que Ling's family background, followed the clues and sent people to spy everywhere, and it took a few days to find out in Banpo Village, and at the same time, she was also hunted down by those people.
