I became an exiled convict after we got married

Chapter 66 Good News
After King An's downfall, Xiao Minghuan was quite proud of himself.

The Wang family actually turned to him directly. After the imperial court, Wang Minghui's father laughed and talked with him on the palace road.

I have to say, it was really a pleasant surprise.

Xiao Minghuan never thought before that the Wang family would fall to him.

He was a little thankful to the queen at this moment, it wasn't because she pushed Wang Minghui into the palace that he was disgusting that he made things difficult for Concubine Wan Gui, and it wasn't as good as he is today.

There have been quite a few more officials visiting him in private recently.

Suddenly, his power in the court is almost the same as King Shun.

During Wan Jinlan's investigation of the women in Xinghua Lane, General Yelu, who was imprisoned in the prison, suddenly fell ill and died.

At the same time, Babaili urgently sent the good news of the border.

The Beirong people attacked the border town unexpectedly, but King Su led his troops to resist. Not only did he win the battle, he took back the two cities in Beiyuan, and captured the third prince of the Beirong royal court.

The third prince was born to the Queen of Beirong, and the forces behind him cannot be underestimated in Beirong.

After the victory report was read in the court, Emperor Jian'an laughed three times, praising King Su and the frontier army for their bravery.

Before the letter of credence he sent to Beirong arrived at Beirong, there was a good news from the border, which solved his urgent need.

Beiyuan was lost when the government was unstable at the beginning of his ascension to the throne. At that time, Beirong's iron hooves left a deep impression on the soldiers of Wei.

Emperor Jian'an naturally didn't want to lose his territory during his reign, but the military power he took back in his hands was only in the southwest, even the military power in the southwest, which he hadn't fully controlled yet.

King Su has been entrenched in northern Xinjiang for many years. Originally, King Su's fief was not on the border, but after Beiyuan was occupied by Beirong, it was very close to King Su's fief.

The continuation of the kingship of King Su's mansion is still due to the meritorious service of the former King Su in resisting Beirong, and with it, the fiefdom under King Su's rule has become wider in silence.

Although Emperor Jian'an didn't want to see Su Wangfu's power continue to grow bigger and stronger, but the good news from the border town at this time did solve his urgent need.

In the past, he was unwilling to fight Bei Rong because he wanted to prevent King Su's mansion from taking the opportunity to expand, so as to support King Su's popular support.

But if he insists on getting married again, what will the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world think of him as the emperor?
Sitting high on the dragon chair, Emperor Jian'an looked at the civil and military officials of the court who were smiling and praising King Su's achievements.

When the news of the border crossing came, the people in the entire capital were all beaming with joy, as if they were celebrating the New Year.

With such a happy event worthy of celebration, how could there be no celebration banquet in the palace?

Wan Jinlan entered the palace again.

Before the palace banquet started, she went to Yongfu Palace and told Concubine Wan Gui and Princess Anyang the fact that Chen Congbai raised a concubine and loved that concubine very much.

The concubine's name was Zhang Jia, and the family also had a small property. Her mother died early, and her father adopted her younger brother's youngest son to inherit the family property. After her father died of illness, she was kicked out of the house.

Chen Congbai also proposed to his mother to marry Zhang Jia, but was rejected by his mother.Later that Zhang Jia was raised by Chen Congbai in Xinghua Lane.

Concubine Wan Gui was furious immediately, she slapped the table with her hands, and the teacups on the table rolled off to the floor.

Wan Jinlan had never seen her aunt express her emotions so much, and even Princess Anyang, who had just fallen into a sad and angry mood, was taken aback.

"Mother Concubine, don't be angry. I'm a princess. If he dares to play tricks on me, Mother Concubine will take it out on my behalf."

Princess Anyang didn't have time to be sad, and she didn't even slow down her thoughts.

She couldn't figure it out, Chen Congbai was willing to elope with her for the sake of abandoning the lives of her family in Kyoto, so why would he keep a foreign room?

Anyang's mind was in a mess, she couldn't think about it, she would get emotional whenever she thought about it, she held Wan Jinlan's hand tightly, "I want to see it with my own eyes."

"Mother and concubine, I will ask the emperor's grandmother to let her agree to let me stay in the mansion for a few days."

Anyang's eyes were inevitably red, but he resisted it.

Concubine Wan Gui said sharply, "If Jin Lan's investigation is true, I will not spare him."

Concubine Wan Gui had never doubted that Chen Congbai set up a trap for Anyang on the night of King An's accident, but after verification, it really had nothing to do with Chen Congbai.

"Su Xin, go and bring that eunuch."

Concubine Wan Gui sat upright and returned to her usual dignified and luxurious appearance.

"I ordered people to investigate carefully for a few days, locked him, and wanted him to enter Yongfu Palace. This eunuch is also stubborn, and he has never revealed a word so far. He is sincere."

Wan Jinlan asked, "Maybe my aunt can confirm that it's him?"

Concubine Wan Gui nodded lightly, "I have been investigating for many days in the palace, and there should be nothing wrong." She has been operating in the palace for many years, and the investigation went smoothly. Little time.

A moment later, a eunuch with a very pale skin and flushed white skin was dragged in by two eunuchs. This person dragged his legs to the floor, and he seemed to have no strength in his body. The hair on his forehead was sticking wetly to his head. , looking like a serious illness.

Wan Jinlan was really not sure if it was the father-in-law of that night, because there were too many fair-skinned eunuchs in the palace, and the eunuch's figure was also very ordinary, so he was inconspicuous among the crowd.

She took a sip of the cold heat-relieving tea, put down the teacup and said, "How many benefits did Wan Fangfei of Duan Wang's Mansion give you?"

Wan Jinlan was naturally deceiving him.

The muscles on the eunuch's cheeks trembled uncontrollably, his pupils shrank, and he subconsciously looked at Concubine Wan Gui. Don't be too obvious guilty.

An Yang was shocked.

She also thought that it was Shun Wang and An Wang or someone who knew about her and Chen Congbai's affairs and deliberately set up a situation.

In Anyang's subconscious mind, Xiao Minghuan didn't think of this matter at all.Anyway, her concubine mother is also his concubine in name, and he still relies on the government, how dare he!What is he plotting?
Although Concubine Wan Gui was also shocked, she remained calm on the face.

With cold eyes, she nodded with a smile, "Very good."

"Your bones are hard. I don't know if the bones of your blood relatives are so hard. If you dare to plot against me and want to get out of your body, you really think of me as a kind person."

The eunuch kowtowed his head in despair, since the empress locked Duan Wang's mansion, it would not be easy to find his family.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness, it was Concubine Wan Fang who assured the servant that as long as the servant lures the princess and Miss Wan to Yifang Pavilion, the slave's mother will be raised by His Royal Highness in the suburbs of Beijing. The slave's mother has never lived What a good day, when you are old and sick, the slave can't leave the palace, so you have to find a way to repay your mother. The slave deserves to die, I beg your mother to spare the slave's mother."

He kowtowed his head and bled in a short while.

Concubine Wan Gui saw how pitiful he was, thought of his filial piety, and hummed: "Okay, although I am not a good person, I am not killing innocent people indiscriminately. I will not implicate your mother, but you, I I will send you to Duanwang Palace."

The eunuch fell powerlessly on the ground and was dragged out by the eunuchs.

After the palace was cleaned up, Concubine Wan Gui said: "It seems that there were many people who knew about it that day, but my palace was kept in the dark."

Wan Jinlan blinked, "The second prince was demoted to guard the imperial mausoleum, and the empress must feel very uncomfortable. Auntie might as well go and comfort the empress, and tell her that for revenge, don't miss anyone, and don't find the wrong person."

Wan Jinlan always revenges every grudge, Xiao Minghuan's calculation in Huayan Temple, and Wan Qiuyu's calculation this time, she retaliated all at once and gave these two a big gift.

She has a clear mind, Wan Qiuyu's scheme against her and Anyang must be behind Xiao Minghuan's back.Xiao Minghuan still had to rely on the imperial concubine and the Duke's family, he would not be so stupid as to count his backers.

I just don't know what enmity Wan Qiuyu has with her and Anyang, to do this thankless thing.

The corners of Concubine Wan Gui's lips curled up, and her eyes sparkled, "Compared to Anyang, Jinlan, you follow me."

Anyang hadn't realized what the two were talking about, but at this moment she knew that the mother concubine seemed to be saying that she was stupid.

"My concubine always loves sister Lan, but now she dislikes me even more." Princess Anyang said coquettishly.

Concubine Wan Gui nodded her head, "As long as you have some thoughts, I won't worry so much."

Seeing Anyang's mouth pouted unhappily, Concubine Wan Gui waved her hand and said, "Okay, you two go to pay the queen mother well."

After the people left, Concubine Wan Gui's face paled.

Su Xin comforted: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, a man like... is rare in the world."

Su Xin knew why the empress suddenly indulged Princess Anyang's relationship with Chen Congbai. After all, in this world, there are very few people who are willing to abandon everything and run away with others.

The empress regrets back then, she knows.

Chen Congbai's calculation and betrayal were like a blow to the head, stabbing the empress in the heart.

Concubine Wan Gui stood in front of the window, staring blankly at the red wall of black tiles outside the palace, this world will eventually trap her for half her life.

And that person, after receiving her letter after many years, would still go through fire and water for her.
