Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 418: King Shang rebelled?

Of course, she called Zhao Mu to come tonight, not just because she had something to say to him.

But her purpose was directly revealed as soon as they met, and Mrs. Liu was a little shy. After all, it seemed that she was too shameless. But the long-term loneliness made her a little unbearable.

Mei Xiang saw her master's difficulty, and then said: "Madam, today's little county master."

After hearing Mei Xiang's reminder, Mrs. Liu said: "That's right! I was so happy that I almost forgot."

Zhao Mu asked: "Huh? County Lord Chai is really haunted. Even if the mother and concubine proposed marriage to her, they have come to find you!"

Hearing Zhao Mu's words, Liu Ying was stunned. She said: "Ah? Does Xiao Mu like my Yan'er? It's just that she is only six years old this year, so it seems too early for her to be your concubine. If you really like her, I will wait until she is fifteen years old and has hairpins. I can betroth her to you, but I’m afraid you and I will be a little troubled later.”

"Ah?" Zhao Mu said quickly: "Oh! No. I misunderstood. It turns out that the little county princess Mei Xiang mentioned is your sister's daughter. I thought it was the county princess Chai of Xinguo Gong's family. During this time, my mother always They are arranging a marriage for me, and the same is true for my sister-in-law. It’s as if I have to marry Princess Chai of the Xinguo family and Princess Qian in this life.”

Liu Ying said: "She belongs to the public family of Xinguo? Is she Wenxiu? If you calculate her age, she is indeed of marriageable age. But in terms of seniority, Wenxiu is one generation younger than me."

Zhao Mu also said helplessly: "Yes. If County Master Chai really marries in, will she and her mother-in-law call her aunt? Or mother-in-law? This is simply a mess!"

He married a woman from Prince Deng's Palace, Prince Zhongxiao's Palace, and Duke Xinguo's Palace in order to fully integrate into this group with intertwined interests.

Liu Ying smiled and said, "Of course not. Ever since you advised His Majesty to send someone to protect me, my mother-in-law and others thought that His Majesty had fallen in love with me and wanted to recruit me into the palace after my mourning period was over. Concubine. Just like when Emperor Zhenzong recruited Empress Dowager Liu, Yan'er will be sent here whenever she wants to see me."

Zhao Mu was also a little helpless, but it was these intricate relationships that intertwined the huge interests of the Xungui Group.

Liu Ying smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Although Duke Xinguo is also a member of the Chai family, let's not mention that you and your aunt have no blood relationship. They are just mothers in name. Besides, when it comes to the genealogy of the royal family, In terms of seniority, the current Crown Princess of Shang is your sister. However, the Crown Prince married a woman of his aunt's generation, regardless of blood relationship. It doesn’t matter if you get married.”

Zhao Mu sighed and said: "Okay, sister. Let's talk about business. Why are you suddenly talking about the little county head? Has she been wronged in Prince Shang's Mansion?"

Zhao Mu asked: "Since she is very good, why did my sister suddenly mention her?"

Liu Ying's face changed at this time, and she said: "This matter is very serious. It's just a child's talk. I don't know whether I should tell you."

Seeing Liu Ying's face, Zhao Mu asked: "What happened?" Liu Ying said: "It's like this, Yan'er was sent to me to play as usual a few days ago. When I was talking to her, I saw She wears a jade wolf tooth pendant. Xiao Mu, you know that there were many princes and princes in the capital who pursued me, and many of them even spent a lot of money on me just to make me smile. "

Zhao Mu smiled and said, "It's natural. I was also one of your fans back then, sister. It's just that I came from a humble background and knew I wasn't worthy. So I never made it clear. But does this have anything to do with this matter?"

Liu Ying replied: "Yes! It has a lot to do with it. Back then, the son of the Duke of Wei also gave me a special gift. That gift was the jade wolf teeth that Yan'er wore. This one The wolf fang pendant does not come from our Song Dynasty, but from the Liao Kingdom in the north. At that time, the prince of the Wei Kingdom specially explained to me that it was not something that ordinary Khitan nobles could possess. Those who plant things are either members of the Yelu family of the Liao Kingdom or descendants of the Xiao family, and most of them are given by the elders to the younger ones, which means that the younger ones can receive the blessings of the wolf god believed by the Khitan people, or they can communicate with the blue sky in the desert. As tough as a wolf, he bought it by chance and spent a lot of money."

Zhao Mu also understood everything. He said, "So, Princess Zhao went to see King Shang?"

Liu Ying nodded and said, "Yes. And more than once. When I went there for the first time, it was just daily greetings. The jade wolf tooth was what she gave to Yan'er at that time. But the second time I went there, it was just a daily greeting. , the father-in-law dismissed everyone. However, Yan'er was a playful girl, so she sneaked into the living room while others were not paying attention. She was petite and did not attract anyone's attention. Yan'er told her what happened that day. After that, I was really shocked.”

Zhao Mu asked back: "What's the matter? Could it be that King Shang wants to rebel?"

Liu Ying shook his head and said: "I'm not sure about this. Yan'er is just a child. She was also very vague when she spoke, but she did mention the words 'Fu Zhou' and 'cooperation'. This matter This is a serious matter, and even if there is an ironclad document, I can't avoid the serious crime of rebellion. Besides, I have no evidence, and I am afraid that I can't prove it with just a few words."

"Later I heard that you had returned to Beijing. After much thought, I decided to tell you about it first. Please investigate. If my father-in-law really has the intention of treason, we can also nip it in the bud. And there is an iron book on it. With my mother-in-law, the late emperor's sister, at best, my father-in-law will kill himself, and no one else will be affected. But if he really takes action, it will be a disaster for the entire clan. "

Liu Ying's eyes were full of fear.

Of course she was scared, because she was now the daughter-in-law of the Chai family.

Princess Shoukang is the biological sister of the late emperor, and the current Crown Princess Zhao Jing is not only a member of the clan, but also the biological sister of Zhao Mu. As royals, the two of them naturally have the gold medal to avoid death.

But Liu Ying didn't.

If King Shang really colludes with the Khitan to rebel, then she will be in danger. Even if Zhao Mu wants to protect her when the time comes, he's afraid he won't be able to.

It's not just her, but her five or six-year-old daughter is also affected. She couldn't ignore this anymore. It's just that Liu Ying has nothing but her beauty. She has no choice but to rely on men. So she secretly told Zhao Mu the news.

And she brought Zhao Mu here today because she wanted to completely seal this last straw. Whether it’s finding a capable stepfather for your daughter. Or find her a husband who is much older than her. As long as she could save her daughter and her only bloodline, she would risk it all.
