The concubine rushed forward!

Chapter 51 Defection

Ming Zhong went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to answer his questions, then entered the Hall of Liangyi lightly, and took over Fu Jiu's job of grinding ink.

Xie Xiao was processing the memorial, when he heard the movement, he raised his eyes to look at Ming Zhong.

"The Empress Dowager was so furious that she dropped several vases." Ming Zhong replied in a low voice.

Xie Xiao hooked his lips, "What else did the Queen Mother say?"

Ming Zhong sneered, "Don't listen, Your Majesty, be careful not to dirty your ears."

Xie Xiao snorted, "Glib," and asked, "How did the investigation go?"

Had a grudge against the Queen Mother, and spread rumors of killing her son.The one who can achieve this level and is still difficult to find out can only be the living concubine.

The emperor ordered Mingzhong to investigate in private, and questioned the old eunuchs who had served the concubines before.It was only after some inquiries that some clues were found. The queen mother was a queen in those days, but she had no sons under her knees.The first emperor intended to make His Royal Highness King Lu, the son of Concubine Zhou's concubine and the eldest son, Prince Lu, how could Dingguo's mansion be able to sit still.

At that time, the Wen family in the palace had just given birth to a prince for less than a year, and the Wen family was of ordinary background, and it was all because of the birth of a prince that he was promoted to the concubine.

Back then, Duke Ding and the Empress Dowager faction had their eyes on the prince, and the Empress Dowager Yuan once approached Concubine Wen to talk about the prince's adoption.Although Concubine Wen was also terribly afraid of the Queen Mother, she still politely refused.

Since then, the Empress Dowager Yuan has hated Concubine Wen, not only making things difficult in the palace.Ding Guogong's lineage also impeached Wen's father.

Concubine Wen was attacked back and forth, still worried about her son and didn't want to let go, but who knew that the little prince suddenly had an allergic high fever and died within five days.Died because he was too urinated, and couldn't even get into the prince's ranking, so the former emperor found a piece of geomantic treasure land and hastily handled the little prince's funeral.

Concubine Wen couldn't bear such a blow, so she couldn't get sick immediately.She had always been unwilling to believe that the little prince died unexpectedly, but her intuition proved that she was right. A nanny who was serving the little prince suddenly died of a sudden illness. Concubine Wen carefully checked and finally made her suspect that it was the Empress Dowager Yuan.

But Ding Guogong's faction finally fulfilled their wish, and repeated the old tricks, threatening Xie Xiao's biological mother, Yu Meiren, and successfully adopted the fifth prince Xie Xiao.

After the death of the first emperor, Concubine Wen was promoted to Concubine Wen. She lived in Nangongyuan, holding her last breath, just to see the fall of the Yuan family.

Now that Duke Dingguo's mansion is on the verge of collapse, Concubine Wen just added fire to avenge her past.

After listening to the whole story, Xie Xiao seemed to recall the beautiful woman in his memory, with a cold expression on his face, "That's it, no one needs to know about this matter."

Ming Zhong watched his words and demeanor, seeing the change of the emperor's mood, he stopped talking too much, and worked hard.

On Gu Panfu's side, she was pregnant, and the emperor came to visit occasionally.The grace is not fading, no one dares to neglect everywhere, and the life is considered leisurely.

"Master, the people from the imperial dining room are here." Qingbi opened the beaded curtain and brought in some oranges.

In the evening, the emperor turned over the signboard of Ruyixuan and wanted to have dinner, Mingzhong sent someone to inform the imperial dining room that Yimei would order.

Gu Panfu held the menu in her hand. She herself loved hot and sour, but judging from the sour and hot women in the saying, she really couldn't tell anything.

Gu Panfu ordered a dish of fish with pickled cabbage and saliva chicken, and a taste of winter melon soup.Taking into account the taste of the emperor, I ordered fried lotus root slices and sauce-flavored short ribs.With stir-fried vegetables and a few desserts, this meal is enough.

Xie Xiao came to have dinner later than usual. Seeing a table full of color and fragrance, he naturally whetted his appetite, and the spicy saliva chicken won him a compliment.

After the meal, Xie Xiao took Gu Panfu's hand to eat in the small courtyard of Ruyixuan, "Is the child obedient?"

When Xie Xiao came last time, Gu Panfu encountered fetal movement, which made Gu Panfu frown.Later, the emperor would ask the palace staff of Ruyixuan to pay more attention to Gu Panfu, which made Gu Panfu feel at ease, because she didn't ignore the mother of the child just because she had a child.

But Gu Panfu found that the emperor didn't seem to like children very much, and his attitude towards the princes was mediocre, and the third prince was a legitimate son, so he could ask a few more questions.I really like the princess.

Gu Panfu thought to herself: If there is such a father who dotes on his daughter, it would be nice to have a princess.

"I picked a few words for Huang'er, Fu'er take a look." Xie Xiao took out a note from the sleeve of the silver dragon robe as he spoke.

"Your majesty...?" Gu Panfu looked at Xie Xiao in surprise. She had said that she wanted the emperor to choose the names of a few children.The emperor just responded, but she didn't expect it. . .

"Cough," Xie Xiao coughed lightly with one hand on his lips, and stuffed the note into Gu Panfu's hand.

Gu Panfu smiled and opened the note, which read: Ze, Yu, Cheng.

The meanings of these three characters are all good. Gu Panfu looked at them for a long time, then tapped her fingertips lightly, "I like this word Ze."

Ze, glossy also.It has a warm and jade-like feeling, clean and pure.

The word Yu is actually not bad, but the three princes took the word Heng, and they are all known as beautiful jade.Gu Panfu didn't want her child to be compared with her own son and fall into endless intrigue.

Gu Panfu raised her head and asked again, "The emperor only gave the prince a name, what if the concubine gave birth to a princess?"

When asked about the princess, Xie Xiao seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and his smile was a little smug, "I have already thought about it, the eldest princess is my jewel, and the princess born by Fuer is just like my heart, so I named it Ruyi."

Gu Panfu laughed, Ruyi, Ruyi, the emperor really likes his daughter.

The moonlight was bright, and Gu Panfu suddenly became in a good mood. She smiled gently, stood on tiptoe, touched Xie Xiao's lips, and then blushed a little, her eyes wandering.

Xie Xiao raised her chin, fixed her eyes on her pink lips, and stroked her chin with her fingertips.Seeing Gu Panfu's slightly blush cheeks, he chuckled and leaned over to kiss her lips.

The emperor experienced a different kind of happiness, and his mood became very good when he was about to go to the morning court the next day.

Before the dragon chariot was halfway through, Xie Xun, the commander of the forbidden army, rushed over.Xie Xun lowered his voice, "Your Majesty, Yuan Shuo eloped with Princess Heyi and left Shangjing with the Hanar tribe."

The emperor's face suddenly became gloomy, and he swept towards Xie Xun fiercely.

Since Bage entered Beijing, Xie Xiao has been watched closely.Xie Xiao also knew that Bage had entered Dingguo's mansion several times, but the Hanar tribe sent more troops to suppress the border. If there was a military disaster for no reason, only the people of Dazhou would suffer.

Xie Xiao thought about sending Bage away, so he dealt with Ding Guogong, and first solved the internal trouble of jumping up and down.Unexpectedly, Duke Ding sent Yuan Shuo away first in order to preserve a trace of blood.

"The minister neglected his duty, please punish him." Xie Xun also felt a shudder down his spine.

Dingguo's mansion has been very honest these past few days, and Yuan Shuo also seems to have returned home, trying to coax Mrs. Jiang.The Forbidden Army was also monitoring every step of the way, but unexpectedly, it was disclosed.

"Hmph, if Duke Ding really wanted to hide it from you, do you think you would be able to detect it?" Xie Xiao's tone was sarcasm, his eyes cold.

"The minister immediately sent someone to chase after him."

"What's the use of postponing this now, get the hell out." Xie Xiao squinted his eyes, and suddenly he felt that something was unusual, "Wait a minute, go find out where the Duke is, and report it immediately."

Xie Xun took the order to go, the emperor kept tapping on the handle of the dragon chariot, suddenly thought of something, and said angrily, "Old thief Yuan Chong."

In the early morning of the same day, the news from Xie Xun shocked the government and the public. Duke Ding killed his grandson and defected with the Hanar tribe in place of Yuan Shuo.

Duke Chong of Dingguo abandoned everything in the Great Zhou Dynasty and took away a large amount of gold and silver from Duke Dingguo's mansion.But within half a day, the imperial court lost track of Bage and his party.

When the emperor was in court, he was furious. Duke Dingguo withdrew his title and punished him for several crimes.There are more than 300 people in Dingguo's mansion, all the women are prostitutes, all the men are cut in half, and all children under the age of ten are expelled and made into palace slaves.

Those who are close to the Yuan family are either exiled or demoted. Miss Jiang, who married Yuan Shuo, left her life because of her father's military exploits, but since then she can only always be with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng and never appear again. in front of the world.

Officials from the two departments of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Finance also began to dispatch food and grass in accordance with the imperial edict, and sent additional troops.

Xie Xun, the commander of the Forbidden Army, personally issued a wanted order to search for Yuan Chong across the country.

When the Empress Dowager heard the news, her mind was spinning, her chest was heaving and she couldn't breathe for a long time.

The Queen Mother still couldn't believe that her elder brother was so ruthless and defected to the country. Did he think about the other members of the Yuan clan?

However, the situation was urgent and she couldn't afford to hesitate, so she immediately took off the queen mother's phoenix crown, went to the Liangyi Hall in plain clothes and without a hairpin, and begged Xie Xiao to let go of the direct lineage of the Yuan family.

Xie Xiao directly imprisoned the Empress Dowager in the Compassionate Ning Palace on the grounds that she was too sad and needed to rest.

The situation in the harem took a turn for the worse, and the Yuan clan, which had been insolent for many years, suddenly fell.Yuan Xiurong's previous arrogant appearance was completely gone, neither went to Liangyi Hall to intercede for the Yuan family, nor visited the Queen Mother once.

Gu Panfu was the one who was rushing to step on the Queen Mother's foot. It took a few days for her to come, and she couldn't help being a little surprised when she walked outside the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

Yellow leaves piled up, bleak and desolate.

The Palace of Compassion and Ning was the residence of the empress dowagers of all dynasties. It was not carved with beams and painted buildings, exquisite and majestic, but the current appearance is really embarrassing.

Before Gu Panfu arrived at the residence of the Empress Dowager Yuan, she heard a slightly turbid female voice, "Your Yuan family bullied others and killed my son. As a middle palace, you are not upright, and you are not worthy of being the mother of the country." The female voice took a breath, The tone is full of joy, "Did you ever think that there will be today."

"It turned out to be you," the Queen Mother Yuan's voice came from inside the room, as if she had thought for a while before remembering who the person in front of her was, "so what, Ai Jiagui is the daughter of the Duke of Dingguo, the first emperor and queen, even now, Xie Xiao'er has no choice but to mourn his family."

The Empress Dowager Yuan looked contemptuously at Concubine Wen who was opposite, "You are just a homeless dog who can't even protect his own son."

"The Ai family likes your Wen family's son, so you should be grateful. If you go against the Ai family, it will not end well."

Concubine Wen was so angry that her chest heaved, and she finally yelled loudly, "What about Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Yu gave you her own child to raise, so what happened to her?!"

"The Yuan family will die if they do many injustices. I have lived to this day just to see you end up like this." After finishing speaking, Concubine Wen suddenly burst into laughter, as if she was insane.

Gu Panfu was secretly startled when she heard this, and immediately took Hanlu's hand and left the Compassionate Ning Palace, "None of you and I have heard what happened today, and we have never been to the Compassionate Ning Palace."

Hanlu also broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly responded.
