Chapter 1163 The key that the Halloween princess wants to cover up

In the Forbidden City.

Xiaoqian sat on top of the palace, bathing in the moonlight falling from the night sky.

The brilliance was slightly rippling like water waves, and a stream of pure white breath was drawn from it, entering between her eyebrows and the picture of the night walk of the ghosts hanging above her head.

After a long time, Xiaoqian stopped inhaling the moonlight, stretched out her hand, and the slowly swirling picture of the night walk of the ghosts was filled with a little bit of gray-black impurities, and the sacrifice became more and more pure.

Ever since, when Zhu Shisan and Chen Hong flew out to the left and right and bowed down in front of them, their aura also rose and grew stronger.

The former sincerely respected: "Congratulations, Your Royal Highness, you have improved your cultivation!"

The latter showed a flattering smile: "I have benefited a lot from being in the picture, all thanks to His Highness's gift!"

Xiaoqian was not overjoyed, but her expression was cold, and she gave an order: "Go outside the palace and see if there is any progress on Tao thief's side. How long will you stay in the city?"

Zhu Shisan immediately took the order, while Chen Hong hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness is not willing to stay in the palace now because her memory has not recovered. When I remember that Your Majesty has treated you well, I will be willing to stay!"

Xiaoqian frowned: "Why stay here? I'm already dead. If it wasn't for the chaos in the underworld, I should have entered Jiuyou long ago and reincarnated..."

"What's more, in this palace, there is an aura that makes me very uncomfortable. I think my memory is restored, and I don't want to stay. You go to the real person quickly. I have rescued the prince's brother. I have fulfilled my wish. Willing to stay!"

Chen Hong accepted the order helplessly: "Yes!"

The two ghosts followed the path and floated out with ease. Zhu Shisan was very fast and obviously had no attachment to the palace, while Chen Hong turned his head three times at every step and sighed.

He also knew that it was impossible for him to follow the original trajectory and become the admiral of the East Factory after he was drifting around now. He was so powerful, but after all, he had infinite nostalgia for this palace.

"It's a pity that the princess doesn't want to stay, but it's no wonder that His Highness is really unhappy here..."

"Tell me specifically, why are you unhappy?"

Just as he was talking to himself, a familiar voice suddenly came. Chen Hong was startled, and saw two figures standing outside the palace city, they were Li Yan and Lu Bing.

Although he has now changed his name to a real person, Chen Hong observed his words and expressions, but he clearly remembered that Her Royal Highness used to call this person his master, so he hurriedly bowed down: "Slave servants pay respects to Li Zhenren!"

Li Yandao: "You guys came out just in time. Zhu Shisan went to invite Her Royal Highness out, and Chen Hong stayed behind. I have something to ask."

"Yes!"

Zhu Shisan first clasped his fists heavily, and then saluted Lu Bing, his eyes were slightly red.

Looking at this powerful general who has turned into a ghost, Lu Bing was full of sadness, but also a little relieved: "It is a good thing to be able to stay by the princess's side and serve!"

Chen Hong said nervously: "I don't know what Master Li wants to ask?"

Li Yandao: "From what you said just now, Princess Chang'an was in the palace before, was the situation not very good?"

Chen Hong subconsciously said: "Slaves don't dare to chew their tongues..."

Lu Bing said: "Eunuch Chen, don't be afraid, we are not here to inquire about private affairs, this matter is of great importance, I hope Eunuch Chen will tell the truth!"

Chen Hong also realized that his identity was different, and he could consolidate his status by knowing everything without saying anything in front of this person, and hurriedly said: "Yes! When the servant served Her Royal Highness back then, Her Royal Highness often died because of Concubine Cao Duan. She washed her face with tears, and the empress also regarded it as a thorn in her flesh, deliberately made things difficult, and gave birth to many illnesses, often lying in bed, and the servants are very sad to see it!"

Li Yan asked, "What's your Majesty's attitude?"

Chen Hong said in a low voice: "Your Majesty loves Her Majesty the Princess very much, and bestowed Huang Yu Ruyi, hoping to pass on her immortal energy and help the Princess live a long life... But the Empress Dowager has done a great job in saving her, and His Majesty still trusts her... "

Concubine Cao Duan died tragically due to injustice, and the culprit was this empress Fang who deliberately slandered her. There were three empresses in Jiajing, and they all died very early. died.

From this, there is also a rumor in the unofficial history that Jiajing deliberately refused to save Cao Duan because he hated the empress for killing Concubine Cao Duan, and even the palace caught fire. Yes, in order to avenge the tragic death of Aifei.

Such a plot is very in line with the universal value of the wicked will be rewarded with evil, but it is a pity that the authenticity of the unofficial history records is not high, but "Ming History Empress Biography" clearly records Jiajing's attitude towards the empress. Rescue me from danger, serve God to help those who are in trouble, and he will be buried in the Yuan Dynasty."

Empress Fang was originally Jiajing's third empress. Because of her meritorious service in rescuing her during the Renyin Palace Change, she was buried with the etiquette of a consort's empress. She was buried in Yongling and was posthumously named Empress Xiaolie.

If it is said that this is Jiajing's two-faced sword, secretly burning the queen to revenge, and superficially burying her in a grand manner, then the next thing does not make sense. The god was placed in the east room of Fengxian Hall, but Jiajing vetoed it, stating that the east room was not the main hall, and that Empress Xiaolie should consecrate it to the Taimiao.

The ceremony is very formal and solemn, so Jiajing also had a lot of conflicts with his courtiers. Later, when it came to the sacrifice on the death day, there was another quarrel, and the courtiers who opposed it were dismissed by the court staff.

Although Jiajing always liked to confront the ministers in terms of etiquette to confirm his authority, but it was always because of important relatives. From these incidents, it can be seen that he did not bear any grudges against Fang Fang because of the death of Concubine Cao Duan. Empress, on the contrary, I am grateful for the fact that the empress and the servants of the palace saved her life.

After all, for an extremely selfish emperor, the life of a concubine is obviously not as precious as his own life, so Empress Fang's favor is far greater than dislike, which is completely in line with Jiajing's temperament.

As for Concubine Cao Duan who died tragically, I can only feel sorry...

After understanding this background, when the concubine mother died, the girl who was not even ten years old was in a difficult situation when facing the empress of the main palace.

Lu Bing sighed silently, while Li Yan took a deep breath: "According to what you know, after Queen Fang's death, did the princess get better, and did she have a smile on her face?"

Chen Hong's voice was low: "I didn't see a smile, the princess was still depressed, and then the slaves were transferred to the Prison of Rituals..."

Li Yan is very clear that Chen Hong is now showing a deep love between master and servant. In fact, he has long wanted to be transferred from the side of this hopeless princess. I am afraid that he will try his best to find a way, and finally become a errand in the Supervisor of Rituals, and now he is floating here. .

"host--"

And after asking a few more questions, accompanied by cheers, Xiaoqian happily flew over, only holding back a little in front of her, and took the lead in saluting, "Really Li!"

Seeing this smiling, heartfelt joy, Li Yan felt a little distressed, but everyone's past must be faced face-to-face, and the disease must not be concealed, as the harm he uncovered would be the least, and he ordered: "Take them back. !"

According to Xiaoqian's words, she showed the picture of the night walk of the ghosts, took Chen Hong and Zhu Shisan in, and then showed doubts.

Li Yan got straight to the point: "My next speculation will be related to the truth about the murders of Prince Zhuang Jing and Princess Chang'an. No matter what you hear, don't get too excited..."

Although it was related to how she died, Xiaoqian's mood was very stable. She felt that life after death was very good, so she pursed her lips and smiled: "Relax, please!"

Lu Bing had experienced the big wind and waves, and also smiled slightly: "Sir, you are worrying too much. I haven't seen any scenes?"

Li Yan said: "The crown prince was killed by a curse, and his lifespan was shortened with a ghost ticket, so that within a few days, he suddenly died of illness."

Looking at Xiaoqian again: "The person who cursed and killed was you in the past."

Lu Bing froze.

Xiaoqian was dumbfounded.

But after reacting, she didn't deny it immediately, but her body shook, and the messy images in her mind that couldn't be pieced together finally came together.

……

"Mother Concubine...Mother Concubine...wuwuwu...you...who are you?"

"I'm a person who sympathizes with Concubine Cao Duan, she died so badly, here it is!"

"What is this?"

"It's ghost tickets, not ordinary paper money. With these ghost tickets, your mother and concubine can live a really good life in the underworld. Accept it!"

"Mingpiao...baby...thank you!"

……

"I've already made arrangements. Your concubine mother is living well in the underworld, but she wants revenge..."

"I...I can't..."

"I can do it. Do you really hate the Empress? She killed your mother and concubine and tortured you in every possible way. If it wasn't for Your Majesty, you would have been killed by her long ago!"

"Of course I hate her..."

"Just wait, three months later, you will be able to get what you want!"

……

"You set the fire?"

"Of course I let it go. I did this for you. Should you repay me?"

"Yes! Yes! What do you want me to do?"

"Hold these ghost tickets, and one day, you will know!"

……

"Brother Prince? No! No..."

"Think about your father, not only did he not avenge your mother and concubine, but he also helped that poisonous woman to become his first concubine queen. He only cared about himself, and there was a little bit of kinship in his heart. Don't you hate it?"

"..."

"Use the method I taught you, and on the day of the crown prince's coronation, make your father and emperor feel heartbroken, so that your mother and concubine can truly smile at Jiuquan!"

"..."

"Take it! Don't take it yet!!"

……

I don't know when, Xiaoqian burst into tears: "I used the ghost ticket to curse the prince brother to death?"

Lu Bing trembled: "Then the prince's dead soul used topaz Ruyi to beat the princess to death?"

Li Yan's breath comforted Xiaoqian, and at the same time said coldly: "Although many details are still uncertain, this possibility is the most consistent clue."

"This is why Princess Wansheng has repeatedly emphasized that she is unwilling to bear the huge backlash of karma. She neither killed the prince nor the princess. This is only half true..."

"She didn't do it herself, but arranged an extremely vicious situation, let the prince and the princess kill each other, just harvest the souls of the two."

Karma has a primary cause and a secondary cause. If everything is pursued, everything will always be connected, and the restrictions on living beings will be too great. Therefore, the intuitive primary cause is the key, and the unintentional secondary cause will have much less influence.

And the combination of the ghost ticket and the chaotic underworld is precisely a tricky way.

Whoever uses the ghost ticket to buy the officials of the underworld and shorten the target's lifespan will damage the morality of the person, but the maker and messenger of the ghost ticket can escape responsibility...

Therefore, Princess Wansheng planned to let Tao Shien curse Lu Bing at first, and later she simply let Dian Shinji curse and kill Li Yan. Anyway, no matter whether she succeeds or not, the blood will not splash on her body.

This is naturally a loophole, but it is impossible for any system to operate perfectly, not to mention that today's world is still in filth, and it is not easy to maintain a general framework of rules. If you want to achieve absolute good and evil Retribution is simply not realistic.

"You were young at the time, and you were used by thieves. Fortunately, you rescued the prince's soul in the end. Now you have to find out, who is the thieves who guided and bewitched you all the way?"

"Duke Wansheng can't host it. Although her current Tao Zhongwen can enter and exit the palace, but it is in the front hall to practice alchemy and impart skills for His Majesty. It is impossible to set foot in the harem."

"And those who can do this must not only be ruthless, but also have no respect for imperial power. They are the core figures among those who know."

After hearing these words, Xiaoqian still couldn't stop crying, but Lu Bing was startled and suddenly realized: "Dragon Pom?"

Li Yan looked into the deep palace, his eyes were cold: "That's right! The dragon mother-in-law is not in the canal at all, but has been hiding in the palace, and single-handedly contributed to the death of the prince and princess. This is what Princess Wansheng tried her best to cover up." The essential!"
