After the queen came to the throne, I was forced to be nine thousand years old

Chapter 276 The Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine

Emperor Yuanji had twelve sons in total, two of them died early, and one was deposed, leaving only nine princes. However, in the last year, the king of Qi and the crown prince died successively.

As his life was approaching, he recalled all seven princes to the capital in the name of missing him, but obviously, this was no longer a matter for the royal family.

The crown prince passed away, and the position of the emperor's heir was hanging high. Now all the seven sons in Beijing are here, and even the one who grew up in the clan's mansion has returned.

Zuo Daoqi thought to himself, Emperor Yuanji's thoughts were obviously in line with the long-cherished wish of an old man before he died, and it was reasonable to say, but he really didn't know the shock that the prince would bring to the court after his return to Beijing?
Or did he not want to think about it?

In fact, what surprised Zuo Daoqi the most was Emperor Yuanji's Shouyuan. He was obviously a martial arts master, but for some reason, he could only live for less than fifty years...

Emperor Yuanji was not the only one who was short-lived. During the [-] years since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, short-lived emperors accounted for most of the emperors. Many emperors had reign titles less than ten years old. In comparison, Emperor Yuanji was considered a long-lived person.

While thinking about it in my heart, I saw that Yue Wang's mansion was close in front of me.

Xiao Jizi stepped forward consciously, and said to the guard, "Please inform me that Zuo Daoqi, the master of the Qiren Mansion, is begging to see the Ninth Prince."

The guard obviously knew about the relationship between the Ninth Prince and Zuo Daoqi, so he turned around and walked in after hearing this.

A moment later, a handsome, tall, but pale young man with a haggard face came out.

Seeing this, Zuo Daoqi hurriedly got out of the carriage, "Why did His Highness come out in person? It's really frustrating for my minister."

Ji Lingjun smiled, but there was a bit of gloom in the smile.

Zuo Daoqi saw something strange, and his heart moved, it seemed that the Ninth Prince really had something serious.

【Name】: Ji Lingjun

[Identity]: The protagonist of the script of "Shocking Change - From the Dragon Lord"

[Achievements]: Emperor, Master Minghan, reformer

[First Act Plot]: Ji Lingjun was born in the first year of Yuanji, and his mother and concubine is Xiao Huangfei. Although she has amazing talents in cultivation, she has been weak and sick since childhood, and the cold poison entered her body. In January of the 17th year of Yuanji, Emperor Yuanji summoned the prince of the vassal to return to Beijing because of the pain of losing his son twice a year.Ji Lingjun went to the palace to face the saint, and accidentally learned that the imperial concubine's mausoleum was stolen. He wanted to see the stolen skeleton, but was rejected by the clan's family. Weak, not liked by the emperor, so many ministers were unwilling to help, and then Ji Lingjun went to Puci Temple to find the national teacher Puci...

Zuo Dodge frowned, but the Ninth Prince still found out...

He followed the Ninth Prince into the mansion with heavy steps. After reading the Ninth Prince's script, he clearly understood that the Ninth Prince must have guessed about the death of the imperial concubine for summoning him so urgently.

Or doubt it.

Ji Lingjun looked at Zuo Daoqi with a complex expression, "Xiao Luzi, you have changed a bit."

Zuo Dodge lowered his head slightly, and said meaningfully, "People in adversity will grow faster."

Ji Lingjun was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said, "Gu has underestimated you a little bit, let's go, the food is ready, go in and talk."

Zuo Daoqi presented a gift, and Ji Lingjun asked his servants to accept it, but he didn't bother to look at it. It was obvious that he was very anxious about what he said.

The food had been prepared a long time ago, he and Ji Lingjun sat down separately, Ji Lingjun waved away the crowd, went around a glass of wine, and drank it in one gulp.

Left Dodge watched him, waiting below him.

"Xiao Luzi, do you know how the lonely mother and concubine died?"

really…

Zuo Daoqi sighed in his heart. When he was in the palace, he knew that he had a deep affection for Xiao Huangfei from the fact that the Ninth Prince had to enshrine the imperial concubine's tablet every day. Inevitably so.

"What did your Highness say?"

"My concubine's tomb was stolen, do you know?" Ji Lingjun asked Zuo Daoqi back.

After hesitating for a moment, Zuo Daoqi nodded slowly, "Last year, I found a corpse with my friends from the Monster Slaying Mansion. According to the investigation, it was related to the imperial concubine's mausoleum. So far... it seems that another person has been sent to track it down."

"At that time, the ministers were low-speaking and could not be trusted by His Majesty."

The Ninth Prince looked at him and asked softly, "The corpse..."

Zuo Daoqi hurriedly said, "That is definitely not the skeleton of the imperial concubine. According to the observation of the courtiers, the bone age of the corpse is about fourteen or fifteen years old. The deceased was not yet an adult. It may be the maid who served the imperial concubine in the past."

Ji Lingjun's eyes showed a trace of light, and he asked slowly, "Then tell Gu, what have you found out, even if you have doubts, tell Gu!"

His voice was a little choked, with a bit of ruthlessness, and an unquestionable feeling.

The Ninth Prince is not yet the heir apparent, Zuo Daoqi didn't know if his status would be affected if he said too much, but thinking about the Ninth Prince's care for the original owner, Zuo Daoqi said slowly.

"There are some clues that the imperial concubine's blood collapse back then was most likely caused by a kind of demon insect. This insect is called ghost-eyed demon insect. It has the ability to rot the body, and it is easy to cause the victim to cause a blood collapse."

The Ninth Prince's complexion changed drastically, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, "Tell me, who raised this monster?"

The Ninth Prince is actually a lover...

"The ministers don't know, they just infer a little based on the records of the officials in the palace, and dare not speak nonsense."

Ji Lingshu raised her head and looked deeply at Zuo Daoqi, "Xiao Luzi, can Gu trust you?"

Zuo Dodge stood up and clasped his fists, "Willing to die for His Highness!"

The Ninth Prince also stood up, walked to the side screen, and stood with his hands behind his back, "You should know what Gu wants you to do, right?"

Zuo Dodge said without hesitation, "The minister knows."

"You are not afraid of death?"

"Your Highness's kindness to me is as great as a mountain. If it weren't for His Highness, the ministers would have been dead bones in the tomb by now, buried in the mass grave in the back mountain. Now they have lived for more than ten years, and it is time to be loyal to His Highness."

The Ninth Prince turned his head, his eyes softened, and he suddenly laughed loudly, "Hahaha, well, I didn't misunderstand you, I am alone in Yuedi, and I have accumulated a lot of things, and I will give them all to you today."

Zuo Daoqi was taken aback for a moment, the Ninth Prince was really generous.

But then he realized that the Ninth Prince hadn't cultivated yet, and maybe he didn't have any hope of becoming an emperor in his heart, so he was willing to use these things to buy himself off.

After Zuo Daoqi left, the Ninth Prince stood still, and a figure walked in, it was Liu Xi.

"Your Highness."

"Eunuch Liu, do you think he is still reliable?"

Liu Xi's eyes froze slightly, and he said with a dry smile, "Naturally, he is trustworthy. Palace Master Zuo is loyal and courageous. Even though the Ninth Prince lives in a remote place, he still has the heart to give His Royal Highness the pills for recuperation. He is a caring person."

Ji Lingjun just shook his head, did not speak, and then sighed.

Liu Xi felt a little apprehensive. Since he returned to the capital and the Ninth Prince went out once, he seemed to be a different person. He actually felt that he couldn't see the Ninth Prince's thoughts.

Walking out of the Yue Palace, Zuo Daoqi's complexion suddenly became a little gloomy.

As expected of a person who is going to be an emperor, is his mind already so gloomy?
Discovering this undoubtedly made Zuo Daoqi feel bad. He originally thought that, as the Ninth Prince's confidant, the period of the Ninth Prince's ascension to the throne would be the golden period of his development, which might be enough for him to become a yin god. , but now it seems...

After the Ninth Prince entered Beijing, he became suspicious and was no longer as close as before.

"Hey, everyone will change, but some people become too much..."

Zuo Dodge's soft words finally dissipated in the wind, and Xiao Jizi was a little confused.

He just smiled and didn't explain.

The relationship between people is always so fragile. Time, space, and even all factors will become the fuse that affects the relationship.

Back at the Mansion of Strange People, just as he was about to continue to visit the dojo, Xiao Jizi walked in from the outside with a look of excitement on his face.

"Master, the man has been found."

Zuo Dodge froze for a moment, but his consciousness didn't come to him.

"Who did you find?"

"The monk named Dan Chenzi who was in the mansion of Mr. Yuan Zhen before."

Zuo Daoqi remembered this person, and Princess Jiqing asked him to check the source of her and Shizi's exercises. Both times, the sources of exercises were inextricably related to Dan Chenzi, so he kept asking people to track down this person.

"where?"

"Outside the mysterious tomb outside the capital, old man Li saw it with his own eyes!"

A mysterious cemetery in the suburbs of Beijing?

Zuo Daoqi became a little curious about this, and remembered that he had inquired about Dan Chenzi a long time ago. At that time, this person seemed to be looking for something. From this point of view, it seemed that this big tomb had something to do with Dan Chenzi.

Eventful autumn.

After coming out of the dojo, whether it was the matter of the Ninth Prince or the news about Dan Chenzi, Zuo Daoqi understood in his heart that as several princes came to Beijing one after another, the great Confucianists wanted the emperor to deprive Puci of his position as the national teacher.

The storm on the bright side is already so dangerous, let alone the storm in the dark.

Several princes took over the heir apparent, although he knew who the final winner was, he would not get involved easily. Helping the nine princes investigate the cause of Concubine Xiao's death was a good excuse to avoid the turmoil of the heir apparent.

Thinking of this, Zuo Dodge felt relieved.

Tomorrow, I will take someone to the tomb outside the city to have a look first, and help Princess Jiqing investigate her affairs first, after all, I have taken all my benefits.

In the evening, Zuo Daoqi entered the palace to meet the queen mother and noble concubine.

Both of them were actually in the Young Phoenix Palace, Zuo Daoqi didn't think much about it, he just thought that after some experience in the Beast City, the queen mother and the noble concubine got closer, but it was inevitable that he couldn't play some games with the queen mother.

"The empress dowager is here too, I have seen the empress dowager." Zuo Daoqi entered the palace with Huarong, and when he saw the empress dowager, he saluted.

The Empress Dowager glared at him, and said strangely, "Why, there is no noble concubine Linglong in your eyes?"

"You guys are really pampered."

Zuo Daoqi looked at her expression and knew that this woman was clearly jealous, it seemed that he was not restrained enough in the beast city.

He bit the bullet and bowed to the imperial concubine again, "I have seen the imperial concubine."

The imperial concubine smiled gently, and quickly said, "What are you doing, why are you and I separated."

Zuo Daoqi didn't speak, and the queen mother became more and more jealous. It's been more than a month, and I still can't forget the things in the beast city, which is really a headache.

It's just that he feels that the state of the imperial concubine is a little strange, the blood in the whole body is spreading away, her complexion is rosy, her body is too strong, her spirit is too weak, her instincts overwhelm her reason, and her desire has been eroding her all the time, as if remembering what.

Could it be that the queen mother came to help the imperial concubine?

Thinking of the superb tricks that the queen mother had used on Huarong before, Zuo Dodge became more and more sure of his guess.

"Why did you come back so early?"

Zuo Dodge returned, "I miss you two ladies."

The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, but she gave him a blank look, and said angrily, "Slick tongue, then you should tell the Ai family, who do you think more about?"

Zuo Daoqi already had a draft in mind, and said quickly, "The feelings for the two empresses are different, how can this be compared?"

Specifically, he didn't explain clearly, but these words were heard by the two of them, so they naturally had their own understanding.

A slight blush appeared on the Empress Dowager's face, while the noble concubine's face was loving.

'Cough, cough,' the queen mother coughed, her voice softened, and she said softly, "Linglong, you and Huarong go to Yuchen Palace to help me get things, I will rest here tonight."

When the noble concubine heard this, she seemed to know what the empress dowager was going to say, and she begged a bit, but under the unquestionable gaze of the empress dowager, she had no choice but to back out.

Zuo Daoqi looked at the queen mother, wanting to know what she wanted to say, and to avoid the noble concubine, so he waited for her to speak first.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother said, "Not yet?"

Zuo Daoqi was stunned for a moment, then his heart felt hot. This is not Yuchen Palace. Playing games in other places, especially the place of the noble concubine, is it somewhat exciting?

This kind of stimulation is a wonderful thing, with some anticipation and some timidity.

Looking forward to being bumped into by the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine sees that he is a man, what kind of change will happen to her attitude towards him in the future, will she ignore him, or will she have different thoughts about him?
This kind of unknown is often exciting and exciting.

The queen mother's voice suddenly interrupted his fantasy, "Tell Aijia, what's going on with Jiang Liyan?"

Zuo Daoqi's face froze, why didn't this woman play her cards according to the routine, and used the name of imperial concubine to feign an attack, Jiang Liyan was the killer.

be nice...

At this time, let's be more direct.

A moment later, the mist was hazy, and there seemed to be billowing heat steaming, which steamed the Queen Mother's small face into red, and those somewhat wild eyes looked watery and extremely clear at the moment, like a young girl in her teenage years.

Zuo Dodge stretched his arms slightly, wrapped her in the environment, and whispered.

"Your Majesty, the minister...is it comfortable to serve you?"

The queen mother turned her head and glared at him, but she didn't speak, she just panted, like a fish about to die of thirst.

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Zuo Daoqi stretched his finger in. He had been serving too hard just now, and the queen mother had to pay back a little.

"Um... get lost... uh..."

Hearing the Queen Mother's 'sweet talk', Zuo Dodge narrowed his eyes, "Honey, your little mouth is really smeared with honey, let me taste the secret of bees."

'Well…'

A moment later, the queen mother fell limply into Zuo Daoqi's arms, disheveled, with a bit of shame and anger on her face, "You dare to mess around, be careful..."

Zuo Dodge gently stretched out his fingers to cover her lips, silenced her, and asked gently again.

"Your Majesty, just tell me, just now, the servant served...is it comfortable?"

"..." The queen mother was so weak that she only had the strength to breathe.

"Is it comfortable, ma'am, just tell me..."

"Say it…"

The queen mother seemed to have rested for a long time before suppressing the hotness in her body, and said to him coldly, "Get out, while I'm in a good mood."

Zuo Dodge hurriedly got up and dressed, and then fled.

If he stayed any longer, the imperial concubine would really come back. Being bumped into by her was exciting, but he just didn't know whether it was a surprise or a fright after the excitement, Zuo Daoqi was not willing to gamble.

After a while, the imperial concubine came in from the outside and helped the queen mother make the bed with a beautiful face.

Huarong looked left and right, but Zuo Daoqi was nowhere to be seen. She was a little disappointed, but she didn't stay long. After all, the queen mother and the noble concubine must have something to do, that's why the queen mother came to live in the Young Phoenix Palace.

The Empress Dowager took the concubine's hand, "Linglong, after venting this afternoon, are you feeling better?"

When the noble concubine heard this, her face turned red immediately, even though she had already had a career, but such presumptuous words, only the queen mother, who was born in the north and had a bold personality, could say so casually.

She lowered her head, almost pressed against the heavy mountains.

The Empress Dowager looked at the imperial concubine's place with a bit of jealousy, and said, "In your situation, you must increase the strength of your soul as soon as possible, otherwise your desire will become stronger and stronger."

The imperial concubine blushed as if she was about to bleed, and said a little shyly, "I haven't breathed yet..."

The queen mother stroked her hair lovingly, "Then find a way to solve the desire as soon as possible."

The imperial concubine said in a voice like a mosquito, "This is where Sister Lao is."

She was bullied by the queen mother before, and she still felt a little bit unwilling, but at this moment she had to beg the queen mother to bully her to help her resolve her internal desires.

The Empress Dowager sighed, and the image of that dog eunuch suddenly flashed in her mind.

It's not a last resort, you can't cheap that dog thing.

The Queen Mother thought.

In the early morning of the next day, Zuo Daoqi was still meditating when he heard a noise outside the mansion.

"Zuo Daoqi! I haven't let Ben Gong come out yet, are you hiding from Ben Gong? Dog eunuch, if I find you, Ben Gong will definitely kill you."

Zuo Dodge opened his eyes, a flash of helplessness flashed in his eyes, listening to Changyi's crazy shouts outside.

It's over, the queen mother made a fuss yesterday, I just thought about running away, and forgot to go to Baihua Palace to see Changyi.

This green tea must be mad, right?
He thought in his heart, but hurried out.

As soon as he went out, he saw Changyi standing there angrily, "Hey, isn't this the Palace Master Zuo? I thought Brother Nine was back, and you don't want to see him anymore."

Familiar tea words and tea language.

He showed a look of panic, "Why does the princess say that about the ministers, the ministers are so loyal, could it be that the princess wants me to prove myself?"

Changyi swept Zuo Dodge up and down, with a disgusted expression on his face, but he said, "Palace Master Zuo has great powers, I don't know how many Linglong hearts I have grown, and I don't know how many people have seen it, I will look at it later." , wouldn't it be embarrassing for Palace Master Zuo?"

Zuo Daoqi was taken aback, how could this green tea become smarter and able to talk.

"That's because the minister was abrupt. Just now, the minister thought of an apology poem and dedicated it to the princess."

Changyi showed emotion on his face, but he still pretended to be reserved and said, "Where is it dedicated to this palace, it is clear that this palace has been troubled and changed it for you."

Zuo Dodge froze.

It's even more delicious, it's just this kind of tea flavor, but it's too strong.
