Tibetan beads

Chapter 283
After Zhang Huaide died, Lao Yu was released.

The guard who came to pass the message said: "Master Li asked what you want, and he will ask His Majesty for credit."

Master Li?Oh, Minister of the Ministry of Justice!Dali Temple Minister fell, and he was the presiding judge of the case.

Lao Yu said sadly: "My lifelong wish is to avenge my relatives who died in vain. Now that the enemy is gone, I have nothing else to ask for."

The guard said: "Zhang Huaide was executed, and your case has been vindicated. It's just that you have been castrated and cannot be reinstated. What are your plans for the future?"

Old Yu shook his head: "My lord, please don't worry about me. I am an incomplete person, and I have already entered the palace and become a eunuch. Let's live like this for the rest of my life!"

The guard understood clearly, and said: "Then how about you stay in Yongshou Palace? Princess Changning has a pure heart and will not treat you badly. When she gets married, she will take you out of the palace."

This is not a promise that the Minister of the Ministry of Justice can make. Lao Yu looked over and said, "Can you tell me, whose meaning is this?"

The guard smiled without saying a word.

Lao Yu probably understood, and acquiesced to this arrangement.

Before he was dismissed, he was a recorder, and he had the reputation of juren. The minister of the Ministry of punishment asked the emperor to give him a reward, and he was mentioned as the head of Yongshou Palace.

After Xu Yin visited Princess Changning, when he came out, he saw Lao Yu who was arranging palace affairs.

He saluted respectfully: "The county lord is gone."

Xu Yin smiled slightly and stepped out of Yongshou Palace.

Although this life does not have the adversity of struggling together to survive, it is worth it to see him well and to suffer less.

When leaving the palace, a chariot slowly passed in front of her.

The concubine on the chariot is heavily made up, and the surrounding palaces are crowded with extraordinary style.

Xu Yin avoided it, a strange color flashed across his face.

It's Concubine Xian!That low-key and indisputable concubine Liu Xian!
Seeing her, Concubine Liu Xian whispered something, and the carriage stopped in front of Xu Yin.

"Is the Lord of Yongjia County here to see the princess?" Concubine Xian asked with a smile.

Xu Yin saluted respectfully: "Yes, ma'am."

"I heard that the princess has been in low spirits recently. I am planning to take some time to take a look. I don't know how it is now?"

"Go back to your empress, the princess is already much better, just now I played Cuju with my courtiers for a while."

Concubine Xian nodded and said with a smile: "Sure enough, you are the one who can persuade the princess."

Xu Yin always felt that Concubine Xian was weird, and didn't want to talk to her too much, so she smiled.

Concubine Xian didn't talk any more, and ordered the servants to lift up the chariot, and finally said: "There are too few girls in the palace, and the county lord will come to the palace as often as possible. You and Xi'er are about the same age, so you will definitely get along."

Her and Liu Xi'er?It's strange to get along.Xu Yin only treated him as a concubine to say polite words, and bowed down to salute: "Yes, ma'am."

Concubine Xian's chariot went away, Xu Yin went out of the palace with something on her mind.

After returning to the mansion, after taking care of other things, she still felt uneasy, so she asked Wei Jun to deliver a message to Duke Zhao's mansion.

Not long after, Yanling came.

"looking for me?"

"Do you know about Concubine Xian?"

Mentioning this, Yanling suddenly realized: "I almost forgot to tell you, I wrote a letter back to ask my father, so it turns out that our two families are indeed old."

Xu Yin frowned: "What?"

Yan Ling said: "When my father was young, the Duke Zhao's Mansion was in trouble, you know that."

Xu Yin nodded.He was talking about the Zhenbei Duhu Mansion. At that time, Duke Zhao was the great-grandfather of Yanling, who fought against the foreigners with all his might. Later, the emperor hid the peace talks from him and used Yan's interests to appease the other party, so that Duke Zhao's mansion was full of vitality. Big injury.

"At that time our family was in a difficult situation. My grandfather sent my father to the capital for a period of time to swear allegiance to His Majesty at that time. At that time, the Liu family was still living nearby, so my father knew Concubine Xian very early."

Yanling paused for a moment, and added: "Oh, it should be said that the sister of this concubine Xian is the concubine Xian before."

"And the previous one?" Xu Yin was surprised.

"Yes. The concubine Xian before was the one who entered the East Palace with Concubine De and Concubine Shu when His Majesty was the crown prince."

Xu Yin knew about this, when the Lvlin Rebellion had just been put down, the first emperor knew that time was running out, so he hurriedly appointed the crown prince, married the crown prince and concubine, and chose three concubines at the same time.Later, the emperor succeeded to the throne, the crown princess was named the queen, and the three concubines were named the concubine De, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Xian.

"No wonder." She said softly, "I still think, even though they have the same qualifications, why is the concubine Xian always inferior to others. Even if she has no education, she is still shabby."

"The virtuous concubine who really came out of the East Palace is not her, but the former Miss Liu." Yanling said, "When my mother was not out of the cabinet, she and Miss Liu exchanged handkerchiefs. She said that Miss Liu became a virtuous concubine. At the beginning, she was quite favored, but it was a pity that she was lucky and died of miscarriage. Thinking of this love, His Majesty saw that the Liu family had sent another daughter into the palace, so he also made a good concubine."

So Concubine Xian looks younger than Concubine De, and Ganqing is a substitute.

After Yan Ling finished talking about the past, she asked her: "Why did you suddenly ask Concubine Xian? Is there any question?"

Xu Yindao: "I went to the palace to see the princess today, and I met Concubine Xian on the way, she looks really different, she looks like she is going to be the master of the harem."

Yan Ling frowned: "This...is not in line with her temperament!"

"Well, Concubine Shu was abolished and Concubine De fell out of favor. It's been a while. Concubine Xian was very low-key before. Why did she become public when Zhang Huaide died?"

Yan Ling was thoughtful: "Is she... confident?"

Xu Yin continued: "Aunt Chen from Yongshou Palace was arrested, and she is said to be an accomplice of King Duan."

Yan Ling was stunned, this news was not provided by his people.

Xu Yin smiled mockingly: "Do you believe His Majesty has this ability?"

Yan Ling silently shook her head.

The inner court was almost controlled by Zhang Huaide, but the emperor didn't know it, which shows that his ability to control the harem was limited.That aunt Chen has never encountered any cheating, how could she be found out so easily?

"I have noticed that the harem has been cleaned up very cleanly." Xu Yin said, "I never thought that His Majesty would grasp the situation so quickly."

"Concubine Xian." Yan Ling said decisively, "Do you remember? Prince Duan sent Xue Ru to the palace as a teacher, following the path of Concubine Xian."

Xu Yin nodded lightly: "In these years, she has leaked like a sieve, but she is not incompetent. This concubine is as clear as a mirror in her heart, but I don't know if she has anything to do with Prince Duan."

She recalled her previous life, when King Duan came to power and Liu Xi'er became Zhaoyi, did Concubine Xian place her bet early when she saw something was going wrong?
In this life, King Duan fell ahead of schedule, and the concubine Xian had no advantage to take advantage of, so she simply used King Duan's influence to claim credit from the emperor.Now that Concubine Shu has been abolished, Concubine De has fallen, and Zhang Huaide is gone, she simply no longer hides her ambition and is ready to be the master of the harem.

Wanting to understand these things, Xu Yin was momentarily dumbfounded.

No wonder Concubine Xian is so kind to her, if she hadn't knocked Concubine Shu and Concubine De down, how would there be a chance today?Concubine Xian didn't know that the downfall of King Duan was also related to her, otherwise she would have to thank her even more.
