After stealing the divorce book, Princess Salted Fish fell off her horse

Chapter 686

The emperor glanced at him and said, "Probably because of Shen Diancong!"

Eunuch Liu understood, as the most personal eunuch chief beside the emperor, Eunuch Liu was by his side most of the time when the emperor was in court, so he still remembered some things.

Shen Diancong is the grandfather of Chu Jingxian.

In the second half of last year, Shen Diancong took aim at the Ministry of Household Affairs during an imperial court meeting. Hu Fengxin, who was the servant of the household department, naturally confronted Shen Diancong. I was so angry that I almost vomited blood.

Later, Shen Diancong led the Metropolitan Procuratorate to turn over the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts. It is said that he said a lot of nasty things.

At that time, several people were killed by the household department, and I heard that one of them was a relative of Hu Fengxin.

Liang Zi ended up like this.

Probably because of this reason, Hu Fengxin attacked Shen Diancong's grandson?
Suddenly, Eunuch Liu's eyes froze. He thought of one thing, and he felt sincere admiration and admiration in his heart. He said: "The emperor is wise, everything is in the emperor's plan!"

Just over a month after Chu Jingxian asked for orders to go on an expedition, the emperor ordered him to quietly reveal that the reason why Concubine Shen died of illness was because she was tampered with.

Otherwise, concubine Shen didn't have any accidents in such a thing as passing through the gate of hell, so why did she die of illness after giving birth for several years?

In the imperial palace, there is no lack of privacy.

Concubine Shen has been dead for many years, and now it is impossible to check the details of that year.However, whoever benefits is the most suspect.

After the death of Concubine Shen, her son was asked by Concubine Yao, who had nothing to do, to live under his knees, because she raised the child well, and Concubine Yao's mother was expensive by her son, and she was quickly promoted to Concubine De, one of the four concubines.

Also because of this relationship, Concubine De's younger brother was originally a fifth-rank official in the household department, but now he has been promoted to be a servant.

Wouldn't the one who benefited the most from this be Concubine De?
Shen Dianming obviously got the news and checked it out, but what he found out was what the emperor wanted him to find out.

Only then did Shen Diancong and Hu Fengxin have their enemies, there was a delay in food and grass, and there was now the suspicion of the Seventh Highness against the Hu family.

This shows that when His Majesty the Seventh Highness asked for orders to go out to fight, the emperor had already laid out the layout.

No, maybe a little earlier, and even His Royal Highness's pleading for the expedition was also arranged by the emperor.

The majesty of the king is unpredictable, it really is the majesty of the king!

The emperor's compliment to Eunuch Liu was very useful, he stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "Lao Qi will also investigate Concubine Shen's matter in a few days, do you know what to do?"

Eunuch Liu hurriedly said: "The servant knows!"

Naturally, the incident was confirmed, and there were even some specious evidence, specious witnesses!
When Chu Jingxian and the Hu family are completely incompatible...

Isn't there also Du Yushi Shen Diancong?

Eunuch Liu just thought about it, and immediately stopped thinking about it.

The emperor wants a good knife, and that knife has to be easy to use and only for his use. Either the imperial censor will no longer exist, or he will be the same as the Hu family!
The Seventh Highness is also pitiful, but this can only be said that the emperor counts everything.

Eunuch Liu suppressed the sigh in his heart, and secretly vigilant, he is so old, he should be born to be an official in front of the emperor, don't be inferior to a young boy.

Zhaoqing Palace.

At the beginning of Chu Jingxian's return, Concubine De was delighted and looking forward to it, and made dim sum by herself. The variety was different, rich and attentive.

It was like this for three consecutive days, but on the fourth day, the joy was halved, and the snacks were still prepared, but I already vaguely knew that it might have been prepared for nothing.

Seven days later, nothing was prepared in Zhaoqing Palace, it was deserted, and even Concubine De lost her appetite greatly.

Can you lose your appetite?The son who had been looking forward to returning to Beijing for nearly a year was unwilling to even visit her.

There was news from outside the palace.

A different message each day.

Someone greeted His Highness the Seventh Highness, many young people from the capital went there, His Highness Seventh was very happy;

His Highness the Seventh Prince and the son of the General's Mansion bet on the mansion, and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince won, and he was very happy;

His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is delighted to set up a one-day running banquet;
His Highness the Seventh Highness sent three days of banquets to the beggars' nest in Beicheng. The beggars all said that His Highness Seventh was a Bodhisattva, and His Highness Seventh was very happy;

His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince spent a lot of money in Qingyun Tower, very happy;
……

Hearing those news, the palace lady was very angry: "Why does His Highness the Seventh Prince treat the empress like this? It's fine if he is busy with business. He is obviously eating, drinking and having fun, but he doesn't come to see the empress! As a son of man, how can you do this?"

Mother Xu shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are a little maid, how dare you complain about the prince?" Didn't you see that the empress has a bad face these days?Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, just so blind?

The maid was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground.

Concubine De smiled, but her smile was astringent, and she said: "Okay, let's go down!"

She pressed her temples, and said: "I'm tired, you all step back, you don't need to wait on me anymore." Concubine De stood up as she spoke, she didn't know if she was standing in a hurry, or what, she swayed, and then supported her The table just stood firm.

Mother Xu was startled, and quickly supported her.However, Concubine De waved her hand to stop her, and stood firmly by herself.

The maids and eunuchs all retreated, and Madam Xu helped Concubine De into the room.

Concubine De asked, "What time is it?"

Madam Xu said, "The time has come to an end."

Concubine De said: "You go down too, I want to be quiet!"

Mother Xu sighed in her heart. Of course she was also dissatisfied with Chu Jingxian, but she was just a servant, not to mention that the empress was in a bad mood. If she wanted to say it in front of the empress, wouldn't she be stabbing her in the heart?

It's the end of the day, and His Royal Highness Seventh will not come today.

She really couldn't figure it out, what happened to His Highness the Seventh Prince?
Mother Xu walked out full of worries, and Eunuch Qi whispered, "Is your mother asleep yet?"

"No!" Madam Xu said, "Your Majesty wants to be alone!"

Eunuch Qi sighed and said, "Hey!"

The two looked at each other sadly, speechless for a while!

At this time, the little eunuch outside suddenly ran over to report: "The Seventh Highness is here, the Seventh Highness is here!"

Who in Zhaoqing Palace didn't know that the Empress hurt His Highness the Seventh Highness, because the Seventh Highness hadn't entered the palace to see the Empress, and the Empress was not in a good mood.The Seventh Highness is here today, the empress should be in a better mood, right?

Mother Xu said pleasantly, "Really?"

The little eunuch beamed with joy and said: "How dare you lie about such a big and small matter? It is absolutely true, His Royal Highness has already arrived at the gate of Zhaoqing Palace."

Only then did Madam Xu believe it, and she also showed joy, she almost wiped her tears with joy, and ordered repeatedly: "Hurry up and prepare tea and snacks, and go tell your mother quickly!"

A person who has always been solemn and steady, almost brings wind when he walks at this time.

Concubine De was still sitting upright in the inner room.

The court lady Qinghong came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince is here!"

Concubine De suddenly raised her head, glanced at Qing Hong, Qing Hong had a happy face, and said: "Your Majesty, this servant will do your makeup for you!"

Concubine De sighed, and said: "No need, I'm exhausted!"

Qing Hong was taken aback, what does this mean?

The Seventh Highness finally came to see the empress, is the empress unhappy?
But she didn't dare to say more, and with suspicion, she backed away hesitantly.

At this time, Chu Jingxian had already entered the hall.

Mother Xu greeted her happily, and saluted, "Your Highness!"

Chu Jingxian nodded at her, this is Concubine De's companion, a son of the Hu family, who has always been by Concubine De's side, and is someone De Concubine values.

Madam Xu turned her head and saw Qing Hong coming out alone, she couldn't help being startled, and asked, "Where's your mother?"

Qinghong murmured: "Your Majesty said...she's tired!"

Madam Xu was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Your Majesty suffered from the cold yesterday, and she is not in a good mood today! Your Highness Seventh, please sit down first, this old servant will go and see your Majesty!"

Chu Jingxian didn't sit down, he said: "This king will go with you!"

Grandma Xu was stunned again. Although Chu Jingxian and the empress belonged to mother and son, they were not biological mother and son. Even if they were biological mother and son, they could not go to the empress's inner bed.After all, the empress is resting, what if she is disheveled?
It would be fine as usual, but this time His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince returned to the capital early in the morning, but did not come to see the empress for a long time.

Mother Xu hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry. Your Majesty has been thinking of His Majesty, and he is so happy to know that His Majesty is here. Just wait a moment, this old servant will report to Your Majesty immediately!"

"No need, Mother Xu!" Chu Jingxian said: "Since the concubine mother is tired, then don't bother me, I will meet the concubine mother in front of the concubine's house for a gift!"

Before Mother Xu could speak, Chu Jingxian had already approached, and said lightly, "Let's go!"

For some reason, Mother Xu felt that there was an irresistible force in Chu Jingxian's words, so she walked passively to the bedroom.

At the entrance of the sleeping hall, Chu Jingxian said at the door: "Concubine Mother, I heard that you are tired, so I won't bother you. You can rest, and I will greet you outside the door!"

As he said that, he bowed his hands and bowed his body!
Then, he said again: "The concubine mother is good to have a rest, my son and minister will leave!" Then he turned and left.

Mother Xu's complexion was not very good. Seeing Qing Hong who was also stunned beside her, she lowered her voice, gritted her teeth and ordered, "Don't spread the matter of today!"

Qing Hong nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry, mama, Qing Hong knows!"

She also said in a low voice for Concubine De's injustice: "Nurse, what happened to His Highness the Seventh Highness? How sad should the empress be when he did this? What happened? Why did the Seventh Highness suddenly change?"

Mother Xu sighed and said, "People's hearts are changeable!"

"It's not even a year!"

"So what?" Madam Xu's face was slightly cold: "People's hearts have changed, is there still a minimum time period?"

After Madam Xu explained to Qing Hong, she sent her back and went to the bedroom again.

Concubine De was still sitting in front of the table, her back was straight, her eyes were extremely deep, and she looked at Aunt Xu.

Chu Jingxian strode out of Zhaoqing Palace.

He was going to leave the palace and go back directly.

There is a distance away from the area of ​​Zhaoqing Palace. Go forward, bypass the rockery, pass Jinliu Pond, Qumo Corridor, and then leave the harem.

In the Ting Yuxuan on the right side of Qumo Corridor, a voice greeted with a smile: "Seventh brother, seventh brother!"

Chu Jingxian looked over and saw that Chu Chengye was in the hall, and he waved at Chu Jingxian.

Chu Jingxian paused and walked over.

Chu Chengye said: "Didn't Seventh Brother just enter the palace? Why are you leaving? Did Concubine Demu leave no food?"

Chu Jingxian cupped his hands: "Brother Emperor!" Then he said: "Mother and Concubine is not feeling well, this king has not seen Mother and Concubine!"

Chu Chengye shook his head, and said, "Seventh brother, it's not because of my brother that I want to teach you the elder brother's airs. You said that you have been back to Beijing for so long, why did you come to see Concubine Demu today? Presumably Concubine Demu is not feeling well. , it must be heart disease!"

Chu Jingxian said: "Brother, what are you talking about? This king has something to do, besides, the land of the father's harem, this king's son, should avoid suspicion, and can't walk around at will!"

Chu Chengye sat him down on the stone bench, disapprovingly said: "Seventh brother, you don't know something. When you go out to fight, Concubine Demu is very worried, and even set up a small Buddhist hall in the hall to pray for you. If you don't want to wait on the bedside, you should stay a little longer!"

Chu Jingxian said indifferently: "This king is not an imperial doctor, so what's the use of serving the sick?"

Chu Chengye didn't expect him to answer like this, sighed lightly, and said, "Seventh brother, what's wrong with you? Your complexion is extremely bad, and your temperament has changed a lot!"

Chu Jingxian raised his eyebrows and said, "Where is the big brother talking? This king is just telling the truth! Is there something else for the big brother? If there is nothing wrong, the little brother will leave first!"

"Seventh brother, don't be busy!"

Chu Chengye hurriedly stopped him: "I haven't seen you and my brother for nearly a year, and I care about you very much as a brother, and the seventh brother should not refuse to be a brother thousands of miles away!"

Chu Jingxian sat without moving or speaking.

Chu Chengye sighed softly, and said, "Seventh brother, today is different. You don't value power and like to have fun, but there are still people who can't tolerate you. You have to be careful!"

"What's the meaning of the big brother's words?"

Chu Chengye stood up, facing the lotus pond outside the pavilion, with a bit of melancholy in his voice: "Seventh brother is a smart person, you and my brothers were born in the royal family, so we have many things to do, and there are more things to face than ordinary people. Presumably the seventh brother can also think of it, but I have said too much for my brother."

Chu Jingxian frowned slightly, and said, "Brother Dahuang, what do you mean, someone wants to deal with this king?"

Chu Chengye turned his head to look at him, neither said yes nor no, but said: "Seventh brother, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others!"

A flash of anger flashed in Chu Jingxian's eyes, his brows were furrowed, and his tone rose unconsciously: "I haven't been in the capital for the past year, so it won't bother anyone! Who is going to deal with me?"

Chu Chengye patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "Seventh brother, this is all for my brother, take care of yourself!"

Chu Jingxian's brows were frowned, and his eyes were filled with anger, obviously very angry because of the news.

Chu Chengye said: "If the seventh brother encounters difficulties, you might as well come to my brother, but whoever can help my brother, I will do my best to help!" Then he turned and left.

Chu Jingxian sat alone in the pavilion for a while before leaving.

Chu Chengye who returned to Prince Jing's Mansion was in a good mood.

Today, he went to pay his respects to his mother and concubine, and when he learned that Chu Jingxian had also entered the palace, he deliberately waited to listen to Yuxuan.

With just a few words, he discovered many remarkable things.

After analyzing with Mu Liao, Mr. Xue immediately said: "There is a quarrel between the Seventh Prince and Concubine De, this is your chance, Your Highness!"

Chu Chengye laughed and said: "Sir, I don't know something. The seventh younger brother of this king is different from others. He doesn't like those things in the court. He only likes to eat, drink and have fun. He has no ambitions. He is just an idiot!"

Mr. Xue said seriously, "Your Highness is wrong!"
